"Of course not." Chu Chen's tone was cold, "This monarch has a secret decree from the empress to quell the rebellion, do you have to rush back from the battlefield to make a military order, and then rush back to the battlefield?" ”

He deliberately accentuated the words "the empress's secret decree" in this sentence, looked at the man in front of him coldly, and sneered in his heart.

A man who despises women from the bottom of his bones, who can't even respect his own wife, and tramples on the dignity of others at will, what right does he have to shout in front of him?

"The reason why you are asked to make a military order is because this monarch does not advocate that you guard the border pass, but the regent's mind has been decided, and this monarch is willing to take a step back." Chu Chen's tone was light, "You have made a military order, if this defeat allows Great Xia to invade the territory of our Ling Kingdom at all, then you and the regent will be responsible together." ”

Sharing responsibility with the regent?

Is this an opportunity to reduce the power of the regent?

Xiang Nan's expression was slightly gloomy, and his brows furrowed: "The minister doesn't have to go. ”

This sentence seemed to be in Chu Chen's arms, and he said lightly: "Then don't go, Benjun is not reluctant." ”

Xiang Nan looked at Chu Chen silently, his eyes dark.

This former son of Xiling, the later husband of the empress, and now the father of the young emperor.

A man who walked to the court of the Lingguo with the favor of the empress and commanded him, even if he had some real skills, was not qualified to control the ministers of the Lingguo and let the courtiers of the Lingguo obey his orders.

Xiang Nan turned his head to look at the regent who was sitting on the chair watching the folds, the other party looked indifferent, did not say a word, did not react to Chu Chen's words, and did not seem to take the young emperor's father to heart.

Xiang Nan is a lonely and conceited person.

Today was the first time he had entered the palace, and the first time he had met the two imperial husbands of the former empress, who had only heard that they had lived in peace on the surface, and that there were not many differences.

But Xiang Nan didn't think so in his heart.

Zhengjun is attached to the existence of the empress, and he has little foundation in the court, and his only reliance now is only his identity as the father of the young emperor.

There is no such thing as a man who does not love power, and no matter how he makes peace with the regent, it does not mean that he is really willing to maintain such peace in his heart.

As for the regent Nan Mohao......

Xiang Nan was not in the court before, but it doesn't mean that he hasn't paid attention to this person.

He knew that although the regent was also the female emperor's husband, he was an unfathomable figure, and he had absolutely tough strength before he became the female emperor's husband, which Chu Chen could not shake.

Therefore, if the Xiang family really wants to get involved in this upcoming power struggle, then there is no doubt that the regent is the choice he should have.

Chu Chen is the father of the little empress, no matter whether he supports the little empress in the future or he has ambitions, Xiang Nan will never choose to surrender to him - Chu Chen doesn't like him, and he doesn't like Chu Chen either.

This is a preconceived perception and a contradiction of concepts, and nothing else.

Thinking like this, Xiang Nan lowered his eyes and said in a light tone: "Although the minister has never been on the battlefield, he thinks that he is proficient in the art of war and strategy, is good at planning, and arranges troops, and it is more than enough to protect the territory of the Ling Kingdom." Since Zhengjun asked the minister to make a military order, the minister responded. ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Nan Mohao: "I don't know if the regent has any objections to this?" ”

"The king has no objection." Nan Mohao's tone was indifferent, "If you are defeated, this king will be relieved of his status as regent, and your Xiang family will be demoted to a common man, and he will never be hired." ”
