Chapter 135: Scattered Sand
Seeing Shen Jungao stretching out his hand and lifting the cloak, Pei Zilie and the three of them solemnly arched their hands: "Ming Gong." ”
Shen Jungao smiled and nodded: "We will meet soon, and we are destined." ”
Xiao Maha took a step forward: "What kind of wind is this, it actually blew Shen Gong here?" ”
While handing the cloak to the entourage behind him, Shen Jungao said unhurriedly: "Of course, it is the river breeze on Guazhou. ”
Immediately understood Shen Jungao's intention, Xiao Maha bowed his hand and saluted: "Shen Gong has always regarded himself as a hermit, and today he is ······."
Shen Jungao was wearing a cloak at this time and came anonymously, it was definitely not a trivial matter, and hearing what Shen Jungao said, it was obviously involved in the battle for the throne between Chen Shubao and Chen Shuling. The river breeze on the Guazhou ferry naturally means that Shen Jungao has already regarded Wu Mingche and Xiao Maha and others, who were assassinated by Chen Shuling, as his own people.
"It's all my own family, why bother talking about two families." Xiao Maha's face changed, the matter has come to this point, it is better to get straight to the point.
Shen Jungao bowed slightly: "I came here this time, and I had doubts and felt that this matter should be resolved." ”
Xiao Maha made a gesture of please: "Shen Gong, please, Boqing, make tea!" ”
Shen Jungao exhaled deeply, and while sitting down, he said in a deep voice: "Today, His Majesty in the court only fined Yangzhou Assassin Shi for one year, and General Zuo Wei was present at that time, so he must have known it. In this way, the history of Yangzhou will inevitably intensify, and how should we deal with it? ”
Li Xinchen and the three of them subconsciously glanced at each other, Shen Jungao obviously couldn't sit still, His Majesty's forgiveness of Chen Shuling again and again made Shen Jungao or the rest of the people standing beside the prince feel frightened, after all, His Majesty's favoritism towards Chen Shuling shows that His Majesty is still distressed about this son, and secondly, it also shows that His Majesty also appreciates his strengths.
Even if His Majesty never said that he wanted to abolish the crown prince, but with His Majesty's ignorance of Chen Shubao and his more protection of Chen Shuling, even people like Shen Jungao began to worry.
After all, this is related to the first level of the item, and no one dares to be careless.
"Don't hide it from Ming Gong, we were discussing this matter just now," Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, "Maybe Ming Gong doesn't know that the two brothers Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng inadvertently leaked the news at the poetry meeting today, even if they are not the people of Yangzhou Thorn History, they have an inseparable relationship with Yangzhou Thorn History." ”
Shen Jungao's face changed slightly: "Is this true? In this way, there are still a lot of shadows in this Jiankang Mansion? ”
Li Xinchen nodded, and Xiao Shilian next to him said curiously: "Even if the Yangzhou Thorn History has been arranged for a long time, how can it be compared to the prince?" Why should Shen Gong be so worried? ”
Although it is well known that Chen Shubao has a dull personality and has nothing outstanding, at least Chen Shubao has stayed in Jiankang Mansion for so many years, even if he doesn't work hard, he must have some foundation and cronies, such as Shen Jungao in front of him, and Xiao Maha who has always stood firmly on Chen Shubao's side.
"Having said that," Shen Jungao said with a helpless frown, "Maybe it's rare for the virtuous nephew to return to the capital, and it's not clear, there are many officials in this prince's mansion, but most of them are just performing their duties, and we don't know how much support the prince has, and even we have always suspected that there is still Yangzhou Thorn Shi or the eyeliner arranged by the rest of the princes in the prince's mansion, which is why a certain person came dressed up so this time." ”
Xiao Maha bowed slightly, compared to Chen Shuling, although Chen Shubao's strength is on the bright side, but as Shen Jungao said, it is like a plate of loose sand. The courtiers in the Prince's Mansion were all carefully selected by Chen Ji in order to cultivate Chen Shubao, but to this day, these courtiers are suspicious and dissatisfied with each other, and it is difficult for them to stand together even in the same camp.
Of course, there are some civil and military forces who are on the same front, but they rarely have contacts, such as between Shen Jungao, who is the prince's uncle, and Xiao Maha, the general of the Left Guard, who is actually just a nodding acquaintance, which is the first time Shen Jungao has visited the door.
Therefore, Shen Jungao's worries are also reasonable, this large and scattered sand, once it is against Chen Shuling's secretive son who is concentrating on management at a critical time, it is really difficult to say who wins and who loses. Especially among these people in the Prince's Mansion, it is difficult to be sure which ones are their own people, and which ones are the chess pieces that Chen Shuling has arranged before.
Xiao Maha looked at Shen Jungao with a worried look on his face, although this uncle of the crown prince usually lives a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, but no one dares to underestimate it, after all, this is a figure invited by His Majesty many times, and he is also the younger brother of Shen Junli, a well-known minister: "Since Shen Gong no longer intends to continue to disappear, why not take this opportunity to agree to the errand that His Majesty has always wanted to give Shen Gong before?" That Tingwei Qing is a hot position for many people, Your Majesty appreciates your talent, but it has been empty for Shen Gong all these years. ”
Shen Jungao was stunned for a moment: "If you go to serve as Tingweiqing now, isn't that telling Yangzhou Assassin ······?"
Li Xinchen smiled and shook his head, first stated the two choices he had discussed with Xiao Maha before, looking at Shen Jungao's thoughtful expression, Li Xinchen said with a smile: "Before, we were a little hesitant about which path we should take, but now with Shen Gong, it seems that we might as well take both paths." ”
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Shen Jungao's tightly knit brows finally relaxed a lot. As Li Xinchen said, once these two roads are taken before, they will inevitably take care of one and lose the other, and it is naturally impossible to "wait and see" while "scaring the grass and startling the snake".
But now it's different, Shen Jungao's entry into the court will definitely cause widespread discussion and attention, and everyone understands that behind this must mean that the princelings are going to start gathering people and preparing to fight back, which can be regarded as "fighting the grass and startling the snake", but in fact, Shen Jungao did not really threaten the chess pieces secretly arranged by Chen Shuling, nor did he do anything unfavorable to Chen Shuling, which can be regarded as "waiting and seeing".
In short, the next most important thing for the princelings is to gather their strength and wait for Chen Shuling to take the next step. After all, Chen Shubao's position is very stable, but Chen Shuling has been ready to move for so long, and he has made a lot of mistakes because of it, so as long as the princelings don't make any mistakes, there will naturally be no problem.
With static braking, after this card is played, how will Chen Shuling fight back? Li Xinchen rubbed his chin gently, this infighting seems to be quite expert, and the Yangzhou Thorn Shi who is ruthless enough, must be ready for more surprises waiting for them.
"Taking advantage of the fact that there is nothing to do at home these days, you can go to the Wu Mansion and the Xiaomu Mansion to walk around." Xiao Maha said in a deep voice, "In addition, it is best to inquire about the news of the two brothers, Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng, although these two royal highnesses are just small fish and small shrimp, but behind the small fish and small shrimp, you don't know that there are no big fish!" ”
Li Xinchen and the three of them were shocked, and after glancing at each other, they nodded solemnly.
