Above the court

Chen Shuiliang looked at the folds, and his eyes were full of worry.

He is now an emperor with a crown on his head, and there are hundreds of civil and military officials below, and he now holds the power of the world, but he feels a headache.

"The Weihe mob has begun to attack the surrounding cities, what are your countermeasures?" asked Chen Shuiliang.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to order 30,000 elite soldiers to wipe out this rabble!" said a general in armor.

The general has admired Chen Shuiliang's eldest daughter for a long time, Chen Shuiliang has six daughters, until Chen Henai is here, invited the gods to produce a boy, and the six have now become the princess of the dragon and phoenix among the people, and Chen Henai has also become the only prince.

Among the seven children, the eldest is only in his twenties, and the youngest Chen He has just turned fifteen.

"According to the old ministers, no force is allowed, the new dynasty has just been established, and it has not yet won the hearts of the people, and the suppression of the people at this time will make other people feel that our dynasty is brutal, and maybe it will lead to a bigger riot. ”

"Oh, what do you think of it?" asked Chen Shuiliang.

"Lao Chen thinks that he can send lobbyists over to preach the rules of our dynasty, so that the people who have been bewitched by the forest thieves will come to their senses. ”

At this moment, the general in armor stood up again, and he said:

"On paper, you are too naïve, a person like a forest thief is obviously a person who seeks wealth and danger, and he will let the people you send to promote other things on his territory?"

"What is the territory of the forest thief, now the whole world is my Da Chen's territory! As a minister of Da Chen, you actually said such words, and you have the face to admire the eldest princess, Tian is shameless!" the old minister pointed to the armored general.

Since ancient times, the court and the people in the army have not been separated, Chen Shuiliang looked at them helplessly, this is more difficult to be an emperor than to coerce the Son of Heaven.

After arguing for the entire early dynasty, there was no result, and in the end, Chen Shuiliang could only retreat to the court and return to the palace and find Chen Henai.

Chen He was in the garden, studying the chess game with his sixth sister, and after Chen Shuiliang arrived, he did not disturb the two, but looked at the garden.

Chen Henai and his sixth daughter Chen Muxi's chess skills are all in the world, Chen Muxi once played ten chess games with the current chess saint, five wins and five defeats, and even the chess saint is full of praise for Chen Muxi.

Although Chen Henai has never played with the chess saint, he often plays with his sixth daughter Chen Muxi, and the two of them are often killed, especially in the past six months, Chen Henai has often won against Chen Muxi, and this woman who has tied with the chess saint is not Chen Henai's opponent.

Chen Shuiliang knew that the two of them were focused, so he looked at this garden, the garden built with a lot of money in Daxia, the scenery is undoubted, but it is a pity that it is something that others have lived in, Chen Shuiliang has always wanted to wait for the future to be stable, change the dormitory, and even move the capital.

The two ended the chess game, only to find that Chen Shuiliang had been waiting for a long time.

"Father. Chen Muxi got up and called.

As for Chen Henai, he didn't bother to stand up and salute, in his words, it was meaningless to be a mundane courtesy, although Chen Shuiliang, who was already the emperor, didn't care about it for a long time, after all, respect for his father was not a greeting, even if he said a hundred words of happiness for his father, he couldn't afford to do something for his father from the bottom of his heart.

After all, this principle was also taught to him by Chen Shuiliang's father, and if there is a father, there must be a son.

"What trouble did you encounter in the court again?" Chen Henai asked when he saw his father with a melancholy face.

"Yes, that group of civil and military officials, discussing and discussing, actually quarreled......" Chen Shuiliang said as if complaining.

Chen Henai shook his head with a smile, as for Chen Muxi, when she heard that it was a matter in the court, she retreated, and she also had a headache when she heard this kind of thing.

"Lao Chen, you are the emperor, what the courtiers say, you should all suggest, take the essence and remove the dross, it is difficult to reconcile, don't let them quarrel.

The next time they quarrel again, you just throw the song fold in their faces, and then drag it out to hit the eighty board, and tell them that the court is not a place to quarrel!"

"Wouldn't this be too domineering?" Chen Shuiliang looked at Chen Henai with some doubts.

"You are the emperor, the emperor should be more domineering!" Chen Henan said.

"By the way, you are also the same with the situation on the Weihe side, and now a Lin Qi kill suddenly jumped out, saying that our Da Chen is seeking power and usurping the throne, and we want to rebel against our Da Chen for Da Xia, and the situation on the Wei River side is now on the scale of a small friend. ”

"This Lin Qi Killing, as the name suggests, is a thief who disturbs the world, but it's a pity that he met me. Chen He smiled evilly, his expression was like a cat playing with a mouse.

"Do you have a plan?" asked Chen Shuiliang.

"This Lin Qi kills himself well, it can't be our opponent of Da Chen, his purpose may just be to ask for an official position such as a prince, after all, only by occupying our place can he be qualified to negotiate with us. He now occupies a favorable position on the other side of the Wei River, and thinks that we will not be able to attack, but he is very wrong. ”

"What kind of location is favorable?" Chen Shuiliang said puzzled.

"There is a large area of water near the Wei River, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is geographically advantageous, and the people of Weihe have received the benefits of Xia, so with the slogan of Xia Hua Chen, they can get the hearts of the people, this is the people, but they have not mastered the time. Chen He smiled confidently.

"What is the time of day?"

"The Weihe area has frequent rainfall and frequent floods, and in the past summer, people have been sent to repair the water conservancy every few years to prevent floods. ”

"I still don't understand. Chen Shuiliang shook his head and said.

"What I said below is a bit unscrupulous, if you can have a clear conscience, you can do it, but if you can't do it with a clear conscience, I simply won't say it. Chen Henai admonished.

"Do you have a clear conscience?" Do you have anything to do with what you said?"

"Then I'll point it out to you simply and clearly, you just need to surround the Wei River, and then let people blow up the dam of the Wei River, and the flood will pour down, not to mention tens of thousands of soldiers, even if it is hundreds of thousands, there is nowhere to hide. Either surrender to us or drown. ”

"What about the people?"

"So I said that we need to have a clear conscience, and when the flood water pours down, we will have our people send boats to save people, and then we will win the hearts of the people and solve the thieves. It's just that there will definitely be some people who sacrifice for this matter, and the pros and cons of both ends should not be said. ”

Chen Shuiliang fell into deep thought, opening the dam can indeed solve the thief, and sending rescuers will be more able to win the hearts of the people, but in this way all the true thoughts are covered.

Everyone will think that Chen Shuiliang is a magnanimous Ming monarch, the people of Weihe rebelled, not only did not send a large army to exterminate it, but also saved the people here regardless of previous suspicions, when he thought of this, Chen Shuiliang felt that it was difficult to have a clear conscience.
