As for the candidates, I actually have them for a long time, but I still have to make a sense of listening to what they have to say, to show that I am not a person who is arbitrary. I now understand that the original emperor's mind is actually nothing more than Erer, I only hope that there will be people in the court who can say their minds, and the faint monarchs in ancient times are not all provoked by the ministers, for example, the former Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty suspected that the prince was rebelling, and forced the prince to commit suicide, most of which was also because of the threat of the prince, and he wanted to do so in his heart, not all of them were blinded, otherwise why would the father and son be like this? And whether the subsequent Luntai Guilty Edict is true or not, I'm afraid it is not known.

Thinking of this, my heart sank, why wasn't my father like this back then? He was also suspicious of me, if I hadn't always been too concerned about inheriting the throne, would the end be similar to that of the crown prince? However, Liu Che and his father are both old, and I think that after the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, I must not be the emperor again, and it is good to give up the throne to Chengzong.

Chengzong has also grown up, and it is estimated that in the future, Feng Li sent someone to Jiangdong to ask Yan Buji, and he should have replied earlier, but for some reason there is no news until now.

After Chang'an became the emperor, I asked someone to send a letter to Feng Li, asking him to bring Cui Yanshu and Chengzong to Chang'an.

Whenever Zimin mentioned this matter, I always covered it up because I wanted to surprise Zimin, and deduced that the great cause was undecided, and they should be relatively safe in the south, otherwise once Chang'an regenerates variables, what would happen with Chengzong. Zimin is no longer theoretical.

Because Wei Ting couldn't find a suitable person, two days later, at the court meeting, I handed over this issue to the ministers to discuss, and after a long discussion, they all thought that Chai Shao could go, but Chai Shao couldn't resign on the spot, on the grounds that he was sick.

I wonder in my heart, Sanniang has never mentioned Chai Shao's illness in the past two days, why did she suddenly get sick? Although I was puzzled, I remained silent, only nodded slightly, and ordered them to choose someone else.

Since I returned to Chang'an, I have always been closed, and when I became the emperor, I came to congratulate again, but every time I met Chen Yanshou, who only stood at the bottom of the stairs and did not say a word, listened to the discussions of the people around me, shook his head again and again, and finally seemed to be unable to help but play: "Your Majesty, since you can't choose the right person, Weichen has found one for Your Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" ”

Although Chen Yanshou was also a staff member of the Prince's Mansion in his early years, he had a very good relationship with his father, unlike Pei Lian's accessibility, although he was indeed dedicated to assisting me in the Prince's Mansion, he thought he was Daddy's person in his heart, after his father's death, he knew that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not discuss with others, until Wen Zhen was killed, he didn't seem to care.

At this moment, he stood up, although he spoke vaguely, it was better than not at all, and I was curious about who he would recommend, so I asked, "I don't know who Chen Changshi recommends?" Let's take a look. ”

Chen Yanshou arched his hand and said: "Weichen thinks that it is better for Your Majesty to drive in person." ”

Driving a personal expedition? My heart moved, and his proposal hit my heart. I smiled lightly, but ignored it, and just turned to the crowd to see how they reacted.

When Wei Ting heard this, he was a little impatient to come out of the queue, and arched his hand at me: "Weichen is confused, what Chen Changshi said is extremely true. ”

Chen Yanshou has had little contact with me since I fled Chang'an, and his words can't represent what I mean, but Wei Ting echoed at this time, but everyone looked at me, and I didn't get angry or refute, which was tantamount to acquiescence. And in their opinion, Wei Ting's opinion can actually indirectly infer what I mean.

There was no shortage of people who had been with the king for a long time, and when they saw my reaction, they immediately went along with me, and I never expected things to go so smoothly.

It's just that the next question immediately appeared, I'm gone, what should I do in Chang'an? In case someone takes advantage of my absence, attacks the rear, and seizes Chang'an, then no matter whether my southern expedition to Xiao Mill wins or loses, it will be meaningless.

Thinking about it like this, I felt a little hesitant in my heart, and after looking around, I glanced at Chai Shao again, and when I looked closely, he actually didn't have anything abnormal. I realized that Chai Shao's concession was also because he guessed that I wanted to drive the expedition in person, so even if I could lead the troops, I had to say that I couldn't refuse.

The matter was settled, and after the court meeting was dispersed, I summoned Chen Yanshou alone.

Chen Yanshou seemed to know that I was going to look for him, and entered the Liangyi Hall without humility or arrogance, bowing down to me, when he was in the Prince's Mansion, he was the chief of the Prince's Mansion, nominally the teacher, but in fact it was equivalent to a supervisor, I knew that it was very inappropriate for him to bow down to me, so I hurriedly helped him up and said: "Chen Changshi, no need to be polite, please sit." He gestured to the couch beside him.

I thought about it, and ordered someone to set up a couch on the other side of the table, and sat opposite him, before saying: "Chen Changshi, at the court meeting, you mentioned the matter of letting me drive the royal expedition, although I also plan to do so in my heart, but I must bring it up to Changshi, but I don't dare to mention it, so, thank you Changshi for your kindness." ”

Chen Yanshou touched his beard and smiled lightly, and said, "It's all because of the people they choose, most of them can't." I think Your Majesty will be the emperor at the beginning, and I am afraid that there are a few things that must be done to suppress the hearts of everyone, and capturing and killing Wen Zhen is one of them. ”

Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but bow my head.

Chen Yanshou said again: "Does Wen Zhen really deserve to die?" No, he disobeyed His Majesty, if His Majesty didn't kill him, how could he be powerful? To tell the truth, in the Prince's Mansion in the past, I only saw that His Majesty governed state affairs well, and I expected that His Majesty would not be a mediocre person, so I didn't ask about it. Now that His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, it is a foregone conclusion, but there are still many variables in the settlement. ”

I nodded and said, "The words of the long history are also known when they are built." In this southern expedition, if you subdue Nanliang and return victoriously, then a lonely city in Luoyang is also under control, if it is defeated...... If it is defeated, but I don't know if it can be returned, if this is the case, please Chen Changshi take a lot of trouble and take care of Yuanji a little. ”

Chen Yanshou listened to my words, and somehow smiled coldly: "Your Majesty has this intention is enough, please rest assured." ”

He asked me to rest assured, but he seemed to be very worried about me, as if he had been prepared, he took out a marching map from his sleeve and unfolded it on the table, and said with a smile: "This was given to me by Wei Zheng, who was the envoy of Nanliang, at that time, I was still wondering, and I didn't think that it was also a friend of His Majesty." ”

As he spoke, he carefully helped me analyze the deployment of the troops of Nanliang, and instructed me not to rush forward, and said for a while before leaving.
