Chapter 277: Wind and Rain (5)
In the next few days, the atmosphere in the court was particularly eerie.
Everyone knew that the matter about Xue Zhao was the most critical at the moment.
In northern Xinjiang, the Hundred Ethnic Alliance did not continue to move forward after plundering.
The defense line arranged by Lin Diao with his troops is quite large-scale, Ashina Qin has no intention of going south easily, and they have suffered great losses in the war with Bai Congyun, but compared with today's gains, it is still worth it, they are enough.
So now, Jin An has become the most feared enemy, and whether Xue Zhao wants to stay or not will have a far-reaching impact.
And the weird thing is that the group of people who quarreled the most fiercely in the past stopped talking, and they didn't mention Xue Zhao's incident, and Long He and Xu Jingyi didn't seem to have the motivation to fight on the surface.
Behind the silence, there are often hidden waves.
After retiring from the dynasty on the third day, Li Zenan returned to the Dust Washing Palace with the calm expression he had used to in the past few days.
He stood in front of the portrait for half an hour.
The beauty in the painting still has a sad and touching expression, and will not say anything to him.
"Sister Huang, can you tell me that my decision is right, and what is happening in the distance?"
Li Zenan looked at the peerless face of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess named Li Qingluo, and muttered to himself softly.
"People say that people are spiritual, and people close to them will bless the people she loves, Sister Huang, I am Li Zenan, your own brother, I think, you will bless me, tell me the correct information, right?"
He didn't get an answer, and he never will.
Eventually, he turned away, as if disappointed.
However, a smile slowly crept up his handsome face, and his confident expression returned.
He became more powerful and invincible.
He was convinced that everything he did was right and that no one could resist his will.
"Summoning the Stone Army." He said to the chamberlain.
……
……
Shi Junyi is tall and magnificent, and his whole person has a compelling temperament, which is almost the first feeling of everyone who sees him.
Even Li Zenan is the same.
This is not the first time Li Xunan has met Shi Junyi, he has seen him a few times before, and this young man who is only seventeen years old gives him the feeling that he should be very capable and decisive in doing things.
Shi Junyi is familiar with the art of war, and he can answer questions fluently in front of any famous general, not to mention that he is the grandson of the Guanying general Shi Chongye, and he also participated in the battle with his grandfather, in the eyes of many people, he is a well-deserved new generation of generals, and his brilliance will not be much inferior to Xue Zhao.
If Xue Zhao was not crippled, presumably even if Xue Zhao really suffered a big defeat, many people could continue to trust that person, and the final victory would be more inclined to them Northern Tang, but Li Zenan couldn't afford to gamble.
He gave Xue Zhao the opportunity to believe in the other party and defend the other party countless times, this time the rumored defeat, the "big defeat" that he has suspected until now, he will not blame Xue Zhao, but this does not mean that there is no resistance in his heart.
In the final analysis, this is not just a matter of the battle situation, the biggest thing is his Li Zenan's psychological problem, his psychology has certain characteristics, which leads to his distrust and suspicion of many people, this time, no matter what Xue Zhao's results are, due to his psychological characteristics, he is not willing to use Xue Zhao anymore.
It's not because of Xue Zhao's results that Xue Zhao doesn't need to be used, or Xingshi asks for guilt or something, anyway, it's simply unwilling to use it.
It may sound a little childish, capricious, and unreasonable, but sometimes the human heart is like that.
The secret pusher seems to have studied his psychological characteristics very deeply, and then inadvertently took advantage of this.
Xue Zhao was actually only seventeen years old, and the same was true of the young man in front of him.
Xue Zhao became the general of Yulin two years ago, and he can also command the army, so can Shi Junyi.
Shi Junyi's gaze swept over the portrait behind Li Zenan, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes that was not easy to be noticed.
As a new generation of young handsome, he naturally has never seen the sinking fish and geese of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, but he has a relationship with Zeng Yuerong.
They all grew up listening to the legendary stories of those two famous beauties, and now they accidentally saw the portrait, but it was the first time they knew the appearance of the eldest princess Li Qingluo.
Sure enough, it is a fragrant country and a city.
That kind of amazement flashed, and Shi Junyi saluted Li Zenan: "Meet Your Majesty." ”
Li Zenan looked at this young man who was quite optimistic about himself with great interest, and did not immediately let the other party get up as Shi Junyi imagined.
Feeling his gaze, Shi Junyi was a little apprehensive.
He is still very clear about what Li Zenan is going to do when he summons him today, to be honest, he is happy to replace Xue Zhao as the commander of the Northern Tang Army, he feels that Xue Zhao's use of troops is too cautious, it is obviously a war that must be won, but he has always been a mother-in-law, and he actually fought an unprecedented defeat, this guy is simply a shame, maybe since he was crippled, the head of the former first generation of the young generation in the Northern Tang Dynasty was also crippled.
Both the government and the opposition value him very much, and Long and Xu Jingyi secretly sent people to express their vague meaning and good impression to him, although no minister dared to go to their Shifu openly, but in fact, many things have been determined.
So in his imagination, Li Zenan will definitely make no secret of his trust and favorability, and be enthusiastic about himself, instead of the weird posture he is now.
"Recently, your Shifu must have been very lively, right?"
After a long time, Li Zenan, the first sentence that came out was actually like this.
His expression was a little meaningful, and he had his usual gentle smile.
Shi Junyi's whole body was shocked, he didn't know what Li Zenan meant, but he felt it roughly, and something was not good.
"I didn't ...... No...... Okay...... Your Majesty......" Shi Junyi stammered in response.
Li Zenan raised his slender hand as if nothing had happened: "Get up." ”
Shi Junyi got up tremblingly, the surging heart before coming was all gone, everything in his mind was completely disrupted, this time the meeting was different from what he imagined, completely different.
But Li Zenan was too mild, he pointed to a wooden chair on the side of the screen, and said, "Sit." ”
It was an absolute honor to be given a seat in front of His Majesty, and Shi Jun's art of war was in his chest, and the praise of the world increased his confidence, but he never thought that he would receive such a reward in front of Li Zenan.
