Southwest Hou Chen Shan sat on his favorite white tiger leather stool and sorted out the paperwork.

"This is the appointment document of the soldiers and horses on the Shanxi Road......

"The letter to the deputy guard of Shanxi Road has also been prepared......"

"Third brother, let these envoys send them to the Shanxi Road military camp as soon as possible." Chen Shandao, and then handed over another letter in his hand, "Send this letter to the Guanzhong Army camp, tell He Lin that I will transfer him back to me, and the imperial court will send Huaihua General Huang Rende to take over as the commander of the Guanzhong Army, and let He Lin warn the people below not to make trouble......"

Chen Li, who was sitting at the bottom, was dissatisfied: "Big brother, forget about the soldiers and horses on Shanxi Road, why should the Guanzhong Army give up?" The area under the jurisdiction of the Guanzhong Army, including Chang'an, can be described as a tiger on the side of the Son of Heaven's couch, how can he give up? ”

Chen Shan hooked his lips and smiled: "If Your Majesty wants to release the fourth brother, Guan Zhongjun must release it." Although it is a pity, but on the side of the couch, it allows others to sleep soundly? That's what His Majesty wants. Just let it go! ”

Chen Shan said indifferently, compared to Chen Li, he didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all.

Chen Liqi, who looked like a scholar, slapped his palm on the table: "This evil obstacle, if there is no him, how can the eldest brother take the initiative to delegate power?" was born to collect debts, and if he knew that Chen Gong's bastard was like this today, it would have been better to strangle him to death when he was born. ”

"It's always your own brother, so protect it if you can!" Chen Shan said, "By the way, how is Cheng Lisheng?" ”

"Your Majesty was furious and carried him to the court for two days, but then the wound worsened, and then he was allowed to recuperate at home." Chen Li snorted disdainfully, "How much chaos has Cheng Lisheng added this year?" In previous years, he looked like a city government, but this year it seems like he has been evil. ”

"It was normal in previous years, but is it evil this year?" Chen Shan smiled, his smile was light, but his opening was amazing, "In previous years, the Yin and Yang Division was guarded by the Zhang family, but this year, aren't the Zhang family all dead?" ”

"Big brother." Chen Li stood up as if suddenly frightened.

Chen Shan waved his hand: "I said a long time ago, for the Zhang family, don't do things so desperately." If you insist on going your own way and killing everyone in the Zhang family, I know that something might happen. ”

"What about my original intention, Master Zhang is old, go to Miaojiang in person, old man, it is normal for something to happen on the road." Chen Shandao, "You are so powerful that you directly killed all the Zhang family." ”

"But eldest brother," Chen Li said, "for the sake of the general, can't be merciful, isn't it more reassuring to kill a clan than to kill one?" ”

"That's the general situation, but now, it's a matter of facts." Chen Shan took a sip of tea, "There are so many messy things in Chang'an City this year, it can't be all disasters from heaven, even if the Zhang family has a good relationship with ghosts and gods, it is enough to send one or two disasters. ”

"Or, you missed killing one or two members of the Zhang family, or although the Zhang family is dead, but the heavenly master is anxious for justice and righteousness, there is a good name in the rivers and lakes, he is a good person, there are always a few who want to avenge him, the Zhang family is destroyed, the death is too obvious, a little brain can think that this matter is inseparable from my Chen family, why do you bother?"

"Big brother, I don't understand." Chen Li was puzzled, how to kill one is more reassuring than killing a family.

Chen Shan chuckled: "The people of the Zhang family are dead, and the people in the rivers and lakes who avenge the Zhang family have become righteous deeds, do you think that the reputation of this old family for hundreds of years is in vain?" said that the Zhang family was rebellious, how many people in the whole world do you think believe it? It's just that you are deceiving yourself. If you hadn't started fast enough, cutting first and then playing, do you think the Zhang family could really be accused of rebellion by you? Now they are being charged with this crime because they are dead, and the dead will not speak. At least in terms of identity, the people of the Zhang family are all dead, and even if there are one or two fish that slip through the net, they can't appear in front of people as members of the Zhang family. ”

"If you miss killing one or two members of the Zhang family, it will be even worse. It is precisely because everyone else is dead that the fish that slipped through the net has no scruples, which is equivalent to having no shortcomings and shortcomings. A person who has no flaws and shortcomings is invincible in some ways. There are many talents in the Zhang family, and you can imagine how terrible a powerful madman with no shortcomings will be! Chen Shan said without hurry, "Well, it's like Chang'an City, which has been turned upside down now." ”

"Since the collapse of the Zhang family, disasters have continued, and I believe that there are fish from the Zhang family who are on the run." Chen Shan said.

Chen Lizao's face changed, but he was still a little puzzled: "Why is it much better to kill Zhang Datianshi alone than now." ”

"There are so many things to be afraid of in this life. Not to mention that Zhang Datianshi is old, there is an accident on the way to southern Xinjiang that is very common, that is, some people dare to suspect that it is the handiwork of my Chen family, and it is only the Zhang family. At that time, if the Zhang family was all there, it would be inevitable to throw a mouse trap when they started. Chen Shan put down the tea cup in his hand, "The Zhang family is alive, it is a help, but it is also a shortcoming, it depends on how you use it." ”

"So, what we're doing wrong?" Chen Li was puzzled.

"Yes, otherwise why would the Queen Mother hand over the dragon guard in her hand?" Chen Shan smiled, but reached out and patted Chen Li's shoulder: "But since the thing has been done, don't regret it." “

"Yes." Chen Liyu said, "Speaking of which, in fact, after the second brother went to Chang'an, the fourth brother was still a lot more sensible. In the past, it was three days to make trouble, but after the second brother went, there were not many times to make trouble. ”

"Yes, there have been two troubles, but each time it is bigger than the other. once almost offended the people of the Xie family, and once killed someone in Hanshan Temple. Chen Shan glanced at Chen Li, with a smile in his eyes.

Chen Li was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I will immediately write to the second brother and ask him to be careful." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Does it really matter? Chen Li looked up and saw that the smile in Chen Shan's eyes did not seem to be fake.

"The first time is enough, the matter has been resolved, but the second time, those people from Hanshan Temple dare to detain the fourth brother and the eldest princess of Linyang, without the acquiescence of His Majesty, how is it possible?" Chen Shan said, "So it must not be as simple as killing one or two people with a rod." ”

"What does big brother mean?"

"I've already called someone to investigate, you don't have to worry about this matter." Chen Shandao, "Don't make any moves recently, let Cheng Lisheng stop a little, and wait until the end of the New Year." ”

"Yes." Chen Li responded.

Chen Shan changed the topic: "My hands are already half healed, I will go to the hot spring villa in the middle of the mountain to stay there for a few days, and the affairs in the army will be handled by you for the time being." What is the movement in the capital, come to the villa to find me. ”

"Yes."

"If you are a handmaid, you don't need to bring it." Chen Shan laughed, his eyes were clear, his facial features were clear, and although he was middle-aged, he was very masculine.

"The owner of the lodge doesn't like it."
