was disturbed by Fan Zhi like this, and the burning fire in Chen Sheng's heart was extinguished. Ling Suyun is also very interested in this snack called French fries. After eating a lot in a row, Chen Sheng stopped him and said: "Although this thing tastes good, if you eat too much, it will get hot, and it will not be good if your face is covered with acne." "Everyone has a love of beauty. What's more, a beauty like Ling Suyun, hearing this, although she was greedy, Ling Suyun still decisively put down the fries in her hand and said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

It is a woman's nature to love beauty, even Ling Suyun is no exception. I heard that these fries might image her face, and she wouldn't be greedy for more than any delicious ones. Chen Sheng laughed, picked up a piece of French fries and threw it into his mouth, smacked his lips, and sighed: "It's a pity that there is no ketchup!" ”

Ling Suyun was puzzled and asked, "What is ketchup?" ”

Chen Sheng was speechless for a while, and said vaguely: "A seasoning, French fries dipped in a little tomato sauce, have a different flavor." But I won't get this sauce. Afraid that Ling Suyun would continue to ask, Chen Sheng said, "You came from Xianyang, did you bring me any news?" ”

"This is natural." Ling Suyun's face suddenly turned worried, and she said intently: "Not long after I left Xianyang, I received a secret letter from my wife, saying that the imperial court seems to be preparing to send you to lead the army south to reinforce the southern expeditionary army. ”

Chen Sheng was not surprised by this news, because Fusu had already told him through channels. It's just not that detailed. Chen Sheng thought for a while and said, "There is no surprise in this move of the imperial court. I have recruited 30,000 military horses in Fujian, and the imperial court has also heard of it, and Fujian is the closest to Lingnan, so it is naturally the most convenient to transfer people and horses from me. ”

Ling Suyun said worriedly: "Could it be because you have made too many things here, and some people are afraid that you will support the army and sit big, so they will let you go south?" Ling Suyun is extremely sensitive to political changes, and often judges the direction of the overall situation from a small matter. Today's Fujian is a little peaceful, and the people's sense of belonging to the court is not strong; Chen Sheng was in his prime, and he was supported by the military and the people in Fujian, and if Chen Sheng wanted to support the army and stand on his own, it was not impossible.

Hearing this, Chen Sheng smiled "haha" and said, "Su Yun, you are too worried. There's no way the imperial court will send me south for this reason. Chen Sheng explained: "Central Fujian is vast and sparsely populated, and the people's wisdom has not yet been opened. I am an official of the imperial court, and I have been branded by the imperial court from the beginning, and even if I want to support the army and stand on my own, it is difficult to win the hearts and minds of the people. What's more, I don't have that in mind at all. The imperial army is nearly one million, all of them are elite divisions, and the emperor is a heroic and wise king, in the emperor's lifetime, who is not honest has only one way to die! ”

Hearing Chen Sheng's words, Ling Suyun's heart sank, but her eyes lit up. She took a deep breath, lowered her voice, and quietly asked, "What if the emperor goes?" ”

Chen Sheng was stunned. He couldn't have imagined that Ling Suyun would dare to ask such a question. In fact, this question has been bothering Chen Sheng for a long time. After a while, Chen Sheng sighed faintly: "If the emperor goes, if Fusu succeeds to the throne, Daqin will definitely be stable, and maybe there will be further development." ”

Ling Suyun nodded, thought for a while, and said, "So, you firmly support the eldest son?" A worried look appeared on Ling Suyun's face.

"Not bad." Chen Sheng let out a breath of turbidity and said: "Fusu is kind-hearted and will inevitably treat the world well, and I don't know the rest of the princes, and even if I do, I won't easily support it." Speaking of this, Chen Sheng added a line in his heart: "Especially Hu Hai, if there is a chance, I have to kill him quickly!" Of course, Chen Sheng didn't dare to say this kind of thing to Ling Suyun. You must know that Hu Hai is only eleven years old now, and Ling Suyun doesn't know how Chen Sheng could treat this little kid as a mortal enemy.

Ling Suyun nodded and said, "Now most of the ministers in the court support Fusu Gongzi, but the rest of the princes also have enough supporters, and there is still a risk. ”

Chen Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "The support of the ministers of the imperial court is insignificant, and whoever eventually becomes the crown prince depends on the emperor's will." It's useless for us to do anything. Mentioning this issue, Chen Sheng couldn't help but feel a little worried, and then he smiled again: "The emperor is now at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the dispute between the crown prince is estimated to last for a long time, I won't stand up and shout for Fusu so quickly, your Ling family should pay more attention, don't get too close to Fusu or other sons." ”

Ling Suyun's heart sank, and she understood the meaning of Chen Sheng's reminder. Whether the emperor is a prince or not ultimately depends on the operation of any force. If there are many supporters behind any son, it will not be good in the eyes of the emperor. She smiled faintly, "I wouldn't be like that." But Madame is a little anxious, since our Ling family was involved in the grain case last year, our Ling family has attracted a lot of attention, and it seems that they want our Ling family to succumb and merge into their camp. Madame didn't know how much energy it took in Xianyang to get the emperor's support and keep our Ling family's position in Ba County. There is no strong backer in the imperial court, and the lady has a lot of worries in her heart. ”

Chen Sheng sighed lightly, and said, "You have to remind Madame that in this matter, don't reach in." Chen Sheng's face was solemn and he said: "The emperor is only at the age of confusion now, and he will not easily set up a prince." In addition, there are still many complicated things to deal with in the imperial court, and this proposal will not be mentioned by too many people for at least three or five years. After this prince is mentioned, the court will be lively at that time, and it is impossible to say how much blood will be shed and how many people will die, but it is certain that this is a big whirlpool, and those who die the fastest are the first to be involved. ”

Ling Suyun was excited, and suddenly felt a chill behind her, and said after a while: "I understand." I'll remind Madame how to do it. Ling Suyun looked at Chen Sheng and sighed after a while: "Master Wei Yu is really amazing, how can he teach you so many things?" ”

Chen Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "The teacher has dealt with conspiracies all his life, and I just learned a little bit about it. Chen Sheng's words are not modest, he has followed the old teacher for so long, but he knows the depth of the teacher. With his potential, being able to reach the level of a teacher in this life is generally regarded as his outstanding talent.

In the evening, Chen Sheng set up a banquet to entertain Ling Suyun and the accompanying people. In order to highlight the status of the Ling family in Fujian, Chen Sheng also specially invited many dignitaries and nobles in Dongye City. Chen Sheng has always been different, and when he invites guests, he will invite guests and his wife to the banquet together. When others set up a banquet to entertain guests, they usually lose a little money, but Chen Sheng is different, every time he sets up a banquet, he can earn a lot of money.
