Chapter 372: Cold
Chen Shujian still has the level of political fighting, and his mind is lively, he proposed to let Sima Shen follow Xiao Maha to quell the chaos, firstly, to avoid the embarrassment of who proposed who to work, and secondly, to give Chen Shubao a favor.
Who is Sima Shen? The prince is a natural princeling, Chen Shubao's hardcore horse!
Sima Shen quelled the chaos and made meritorious contributions, who has the greatest credit? Of course, it is also Chen Shubao, who is in the center behind the scenes, directing micro-manipulation to quell the chaos, and has the greatest credit.
Chen Shubao didn't even have an enthronement ceremony, he was knocked on a stick by his younger brother, and he was scared in public.
Can this Chen Shubao endure?
Maybe when there will be a post-autumn settlement. Although Chen Shujian has not had much contact with Chen Shubao, he knows that this eldest brother is by no means a generous person, and he can't be too greedy in everything, and his rescue is enough for him to lie flat in the credit book!
Sure enough, after Chen Shubao listened, he immediately gave Chen Shujian an expression of "You kid can be a man", and then touched his smooth chin and muttered: "Only bring a thousand people?" Will it be too little? ”
When he was pondering whether to mobilize the entire Jiankang soldiers and horses, Mao Xi, who had been silent for a long time, advised:
"The first emperor has just collapsed, the country is unstable, and Jiankang has just experienced some turmoil, it is the time to appease people's hearts, everything is stable, if Your Majesty wants to mobilize a large army to conquer, the minister thinks it is inappropriate."
"It's not necessary at all, Dongfu is not far from Jiankang, a thousand soldiers and horses, half a day, although Chen Shuling has bravery, but compared with a battle-hardened general like Xiao Maha, it is not worth mentioning, and he has just retreated, it is the time of panic, Xiao Maha's surprise, it can deter Xiaoxiao, take advantage of the situation to break it."
"On the contrary, if Your Majesty uses a large army to conquer him, the speed of the army's assembly and the time to collect money and food will have to be taken into account, and will not this give him a lot of time to prepare in vain?"
Chen Shubao was robbed of white by Mao Xi, and his handsome and fair face instantly appeared a little ashamed and angry, ashamed because he was broken by Mao Xi, and angry because he was helpless against Mao Xi.
Mao Xi is one of the most relied on and trusted ministers of his father Chen Ji, with great seniority and respect. To put it mildly, even if Mao Xi belittled Chen Shubao to uselessness in public, Chen Shubao could only nod and say yes.
When his father was there, he was worried all day long, and now that his father is gone, he still has to be submissive in the face of the courtiers left by his father, what is the meaning of being this emperor?
A touch of ruthlessness flashed in Chen Shubao's eyes, but his complexion gradually eased, put on a generous and easy-going appearance, and said: "Aiqing is reasonable, it was my negligence, so let's do it, Aiqing still has something to do with me?" ”
The words were polite, but Chen Shubao was ready to throw off his sleeves and leave at any time, but he didn't expect Mao Xi to really nod again, and took out a book from his arms, "What the minister wants to say to His Majesty next is the aftermath of the chaos, and how to appease the militia generals in various places..."
The corners of Chen Shubao's mouth trembled, and he waved his hand and said: "This kind of trivial matter Aiqing does it herself, don't report it to me, I have absolute trust in Aiqing, okay, the Queen Mother was injured, I didn't have time to visit for a few days, I left first." ”
When Mao Xi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He thought that even if the new emperor didn't wait to see him again, he would listen to him and talk about it, how could he know that the emperor was so impatient and urged to leave, but he had no choice but to turn sideways slightly, get out of the way, and look at Chen Shubao and leave in a hurry.
Mao Xi stood still for a while, until the sun was completely covered by the clouds before he came to his senses, he sat back to his office with a blank face, an old eunuch in a green coat and black hat skillfully made tea for him, grinding ink, Mao Xi took a sip of tea soup, and then moved the pen like flying, buried his head in a pile of small mountains of official documents.
The old eunuch's eyes flashed with a hint of respect, and he didn't say a word, he closed the door of the warm pavilion lightly and went out, while he leaned against the door to nap and fell asleep.
After squinting for a while, the old eunuch heard a woman's coquettish laughter, at first he didn't care, but this laughter is getting closer and closer, louder and louder, Mao Xi is a dignified person, and such a loud noise in the palace will definitely not be tolerated by him.
The old eunuch got up from the ground, walked to the group of women and scolded them loudly, asking them not to disturb Shangshu's office, but who knew that this group of people was arrogant and arrogant, and directly mocked:
"The concubine has been edicted by the Son of Heaven, how can Mao Xi stop me from passing?"
As soon as the old eunuch heard this, his momentum instantly weakened by half, and he had the heart to calm down and pretend that nothing had happened. Who knows when Mao Xi stood silently behind:
"The first emperor has just collapsed, and according to the system, His Majesty must keep filial piety, you women, you just make a loud noise in the palace, and dare to pretend that Your Majesty summoned you over, so ruin Your Majesty's reputation, do you think your life is too long?"
Mao Xi, who is slightly chubby, has a very full aura, righteous and awe-inspiring, there is a deep light in his eyes, and when he stares at people, he seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts at once, and pull out the dirtiest and darkest thoughts in their hearts.
As he walked to this station, the people around him didn't even dare to breathe.
These palace maids were silent in an instant, only a woman wearing a white plain dress and a white palace flower stepped forward, made a blessing, and said coquettishly:
"This lord, we are not lying, Gong Guifei because of the merit of taking care of the Queen Mother, His Majesty specially ordered the Inner Mansion to reward the noble concubine with a pearl, we received the will, go to the Inner Mansion to receive the reward, if you disturb the adult, please forgive the sin."
This woman was born with clear eyebrows, eyes as clear as ice crystals, and skin as white as snow. Although he was intimidated by Mao Xi, he was not frightened by Mao Xi like the other sisters, and there was no trace of panic on his face.
But for some reason, her beautiful and wise face seems to always be full of charm, which is indescribable. Even the old eunuch felt that his lips were dry and his heart was beating wildly, and he hurriedly turned his head and did not dare to look at it again.
Such...... An unlucky woman!
For some reason,
Mao Xi not only had a good impression of this woman because of her downfall and generosity, but he became more and more disgusted with her in his heart.
If this woman was a man, Mao Xi might have been eliminated on the spot, but this is a woman, or a woman in the palace, and Mao Xi has no right to restrain her. So he didn't say a word, just nodded with a cold face.
After another half an hour, a subordinate official came to report and said: "Your Majesty has issued another order to reinstate Chief Jiang, and Xiao Maha, the general of the right guard, entered the palace to ask to see Your Majesty, but Your Majesty refused. ”
Mao Xi nodded, still unable to see the expression on his face.
Seeing that Shangfeng did not instruct, the subordinate officer made a gesture and silently retreated, and as soon as he went out, he heard a long sigh inside: "The world is like this, it is really frustrating..."
