Chapter Twenty-Six—Internal Rifts

In fact, Tian Qi didn't need to say these things, as an extremely vicious superior, he naturally understood what the crisis he was facing in front of him was. It's just that he, as a superior person, how could he tolerate a person's prestige and majesty being higher than him, which is something that every superior person cannot endure. But now, Tian Qi also used such a sentence to point out what the thing he cares about the most now, and he really can't rashly leave too much trouble for himself.

As a result, he doesn't have a lot of countermeasures to solve the dilemma in front of him for a while. So, Chen Xuan sighed slightly and asked in a low voice, "Then according to the Prime Minister's meaning, what should we do now to best solve the dilemma in front of us?"

At this time, Wang Ren, who was standing at the head of the military attache on the other side, stood up and arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, I think that at this time, since Madam Zhao has done such and such a thing, it will inevitably cause even greater disasters in the future. Therefore, Weichen means "Wang Ren's expression was indifferent, and he made a gesture of cutting his throat with his hand."

Chen Xuan also understood what Wang Ren meant, now that Kong Hong can do something to buy the guards of Luoshu County, an extremely important place, then she will do even more unexpected things in the future. It's just that Chen Xuan didn't expect that the real purpose of Wang Ren's strong advocacy of taking this opportunity to get rid of Kong Hong was actually to force him away and find an opportunity to get rid of Zhao Ling. His wife and Kong Hong had a good relationship in private, and from his wife, he learned that Zhao Ling loved Kong Hong deeply and had reached the point where he regarded him as if he were his life. Once Kong Hong is killed for such a crime, then Zhao Ling will definitely not give up after he returns, and may even do something like leaving the royal Chen family and defecting to the country. In this way, he could justifiably kill his biggest opponent Zhao Ling in the name of catching the rebellion, and further control the military power of the entire royal Chen family. And in the future, if the imperial Chen family is defeated and leaves the country, he can also use this to save his life in front of Empress Shengde, and sacrifice Zhao Ling's head, which will definitely be able to avoid his own capital crime.

As soon as Wang Ren's words fell, Prime Minister Tian Qi, who was standing at the head of the civil official team on the other side, smiled contemptuously: "In this case, does the general only look at the things in front of him and never care about the consequences after this matter is made?"

Wang Ren sneered, "It's just that the people in the city may have a lot of complaints, can't we hide this matter, or even seal it up, in this huge palace, who will announce the news to the people in the whole city? Besides, do the people who oppose this matter now think that Madame Zhao's prestige is higher in the city than His Royal Highness King Che?"

Wang Ren's words were so loud that the eyes of the civil and military officials in the entire hall were focused on him at this time. At this time, it should have been Chen Xuan who said something that decided to deal with the direction of the matter in front of him, but Chen Xuan didn't want to just say it directly, he also wanted to see how Tian Qi would refute Wang Ren.

Tian Qi didn't care about Wang Ren's words at all, "General, don't think that the people here don't know about your evil intentions, everyone knows that you have always been at odds with General Zhao Ling, and the two of you often fight openly and secretly, so you have to persuade Your Highness to kill Madam Zhao." General, I'm right, right?"

"You" Wang Ren never thought that his mind would be broken like this, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and said hesitantly, "You say blood again!" "Oh, there is no impermeable wall in the world, does the general still think that he can deceive his subordinates and hide it?" Tian Qi no longer paid attention to Wang Ren, I knew that he turned around and arched his hand to Chen Xuan and said, "Your Highness must know the relationship between Mrs. Zhao and General Zhao Ling. also knew that General Zhao Ling regarded her as if she were life. At the beginning, he was loyal to His Royal Highness and had been working hard to shed blood and fight, because His Highness helped him realize a long-cherished wish, that is, to match him and Mrs. Zhao. And once the news of Madame Zhao's murder comes out, Your Highness thinks about it, what will General Zhao Ling do? Does Your Highness really think that General Zhao Ling's loyalty to you is greater than his almost doting love for his wife?"

In fact, Chen Xuan understood all that Tian Qi said, but the predicament in front of him had made him really think about how to weigh the pros and cons was the best choice. But now, Tian Qi's words have made him wake up from a dream, after all, the people are most people who listen to the wind and rain, and the things they will really care about will not be these things, as long as he does something that can improve the interests of these people after this incident. But Zhao Ling is different, this is a talent with great talent in military affairs, and he is not very old, if he can make good use of it, he will definitely be able to become his Chen Xuan's right-hand man.

To tell the truth, in ordinary times, Zhao Ling must be loyal to him, but these things are all established before they involve the most critical matter. And this most critical thing is Kong Hong, as long as she lives, maybe Zhao Ling will not turn against him. But once Kong Hong was killed by him, what would happen after that, Chen Xuan was really not sure about these things at all. So, after thinking about it for a while, Chen Xuan finally sighed silently and chose a more compromised way to solve the dilemma in front of him. "Okay, this time I'll listen to the prime minister's opinion, Kong Hong is indeed a special person, and we can't touch her unless we have to. Now I have planned to leave her to her sister for the time being, and let her live in Luanxiu Palace for the time being. The prime minister thinks, how about this way of dealing with it, is it feasible?"

Tian Qi arched his hand and said with a smile: "It is worthy of His Highness, he handles the problem very cleanly, and the old minister agrees with His Highness's opinion, this is indeed the most appropriate." At this time, Chen Xuan turned his gaze to Wang Ren, who now didn't know how to justify the current situation, looking at Wang Ren who was a little hesitant, Chen Xuan couldn't help but sneer, and scolded the case: "Don't think I don't know your intentions, when is this all right, are you still thinking about dealing with the matter of being a minister at the same time? Are you planning to secretly assist the so-called 'orthodox' to leave the country? Kill me in the end, is this your ultimate goal?" This was said very harshly, and even invisibly it was already filled with a little doubt and dissatisfaction, Wang Ren was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and whispered: "Your Highness, Weichen has no such intention, Weichen is just talking about things" Chen Xuan sneered slightly, no longer paying attention to Wang Ren's current movements and reactions, but directly said to the recorder who was holding pen and ink in his hand beside him: " In this case, I will hand over this matter to the Criminal Department to deal with, and remember, you must not hurt a hair of her, if this matter is known, you will definitely die without a place to be buried!"

"Yes!"

"What should we say next?" Chen Xuan had already realized that it would be a little embarrassing to talk about this topic for a long time, especially if it might involve the contradictions between the officers within the Chen family of the current royal family, so he also put this matter aside very straightforwardly and began to discuss the next matter. At this time, the deputy Shangshu of Shangshu Province, who was in charge of foreign affairs, walked out quickly, holding a letter in his hand and said in a slow and deep voice: "Your Highness, just yesterday we received a quick letter from leaving the country, in this letter, leaving the country explained the most important thing now, that is, the two foreign armies located in the south of the Xuanling Continent have now launched the most critical battle in the south. The main purpose of leaving the country in the letter is to ask us to also participate in this matter, after all, this is our own internal battle after leaving the country, and it has nothing to do with the people from outside, Wei Chen thought, this is very likely to be the meaning of Empress Shengde, it may be that she wants to secretly control our current war situation"

This news was enough to make the civil and military officials in this hall feel a great pressure, and they were silently pondering what was the reason for the sudden arrival of such a letter from the country. But at this moment, Chen Xuan, who was sitting on the throne in front of him, suddenly asked in a low voice: "Now, is there any exact news of the Southern Campaign? Who won the victory? I think this news is much more important than whether it is the news that Chen Xinyu personally ordered to pass on." ”

"Your Highness, do you think this matter is more important than whether it is Empress Shengde's intention or not?" At this moment, Tian Qi didn't quite understand what it was. Of course, not only Tian Qi, but also the other officials here did not understand what Chen Xuan was thinking about. So, naturally, these officials have already asked this question. Chen Xuan smiled, the situation in front of him was already very clear, this news must be the news sent by Chen Xinyu, Chen Xuan still knew his niece in the family relatively well, her vision was extremely far-reaching, and she could even see the development of the situation in the distant future.

Of course, there are many things that they are powerless to interfere with now, even if they think about the problems involved. Just like the current situation in the south of the Xuanling Continent, the situation of more than 100,000 troops is something that they are unable to mix with now.

However, since this is the case, Chen Xuan thought of a possibility, he was actually very concerned about the current situation in the south of the Xuanling Continent, but they did not have the military force to mix in this matter now. "Your Highness, it seems that the current situation is that the feudal state has the upper hand, but it is said that the Qi country has also dispatched an army to outflank the past from the periphery, so the current situation is very grim, and it is not easy to say who among them can occupy the final victory. The deputy Shangshu of Shangshu Province lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally said the information they had obtained a few days ago. Chen Xuan smiled slightly, "Okay, in that case, I'm going to go and see the battle situation for myself." If the feudal kingdom wins, this will have some more direct benefits for us in the near future, which is really a good thing, I don't know what you think?"
