Since Chen Ji's death, Mao Xi, as a confidant of the empire, has never left Shangshutai. Taicheng resumed communication with the outside world, and documents from all over the world poured into this small warm pavilion like snowflakes.

Moreover, the new emperor and the empress dowager were in the process of "recuperating from their wounds", and they had already issued an edict not to see the foreign ministers, and the army that crusaded against Chen Shuling, the king of Shixing, was about to be transferred, and the work of pacifying Jiankang and even the entire rear fell on Mao Xi's shoulders, and many courtiers and local military leaders had to be forwarded by him, just hoping that the new emperor would be able to turn over the report that day.

It's no wonder that Mao Xi sighed so worriedly. As soon as the new emperor Chen Shubaofu ascended the throne, he began to find excuses to be lazy in government, and he didn't even want to ask more about counterinsurgency affairs, and he didn't expect him to care about government affairs other than Jiankang.

If the imperial court is strong enough, then Mao Xi will not think there is anything wrong with this, but now Da Chen is internal and external troubles.

Qi General He Ruobi is still confronting Nan Chen on the border, although Pei Ji is there, and the border security is worry-free for the time being, but as soon as Chen Ji dies, the hidden internal contradictions will soon emerge again.

Several generations of imperial dynasties in the Southern Dynasty all had the flavor of 'warlord interest community', and most of the Southern Chen military organization system followed the system of Liu and Song, and the imperial court was directly governed by internal and external areas.

The inner army was led by the leading general, who guarded the palace and protected the emperor thoroughly; The foreign army was led by the general of the protector army, and in addition to defending the capital, there was also the obligation to obey the edict at any time and go out on the march.

In addition to the internal and external armies, the only ones that the imperial court can command are those local armed forces controlled by the kings and governors.

From Chen Baxian to Chen Ji, he has been committed to the king, and the purpose of dividing the heirs and relatives into various states is to seize the local power in the hands of the court as much as possible. But although Chen Ji has so many sons, the most powerful in the Great Chen Dynasty are still those military leaders with foreign surnames.

When Chen Ji was in power, he could still use various means to balance them, Chen Ji died, and there was a scandal like Chen Shuling's rebellion, and the military leaders were probably ready to move.

In the name of exterminating the water thieves, Ren Zhong asked the imperial court to expand the establishment of his army and increase the amount of silver, which was the beginning of the bottom line of the imperial court.

Not only Ren Zhong, but also other military leaders are also waiting with their eyes wide open to see the reaction of the imperial court, which is a great test of Mao Xi's response methods, how can they share the emperor's worries and ensure that the dignity of the imperial court is not reduced?

The roots are still in the matter of counterinsurgency.

If the imperial court cannot quell the rebellion in a short period of time and deter all parties in time, but needs to rely on these military leaders, then the prestige that the imperial court has established for more than ten years will be swept away from the dust!

"You have to be quick and urgent!"

Mao Xi quickly stood up, pushed open the door and walked out quickly, and said to several stunned subordinate officials:

"Hurry up and chase General Xiao, just say that if Chen Shuling uses the first emperor as an excuse to intercede, it must be his delaying plan, so General Xiao must not agree to him! The corpse of the first emperor is not cold, this fang dares to kill his brother and kill the king in front of everyone, even we foreign ministers can't stand it, and after capturing him, he will be executed quickly to avoid disaster! ”

Mao Xi in order to eliminate the disaster, determined to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, here Xiao Maha moved quickly, ordered the soldiers and horses immediately rushed to the city of Dongfu, Dongfu in the Southern Dynasties, is the seat of Yangzhou Thorn History, a stone's throw away from Jiankang, Chen Shuling led the Yangzhou Thorn History, his fief is here. Xiao Mahabu rode thousands of people to gallop to the city, only to see that the gate of Dongfu was closed, and Chen Shuling had already taken precautions.

Xiao Mahaguan looked at the upper part of the city and the banner, suddenly frowned, and asked: "It's not that most of the Shixing King's tribes are scattered, why did he pull out another army and horses so quickly?" ”

A subordinate replied: "Xu was made up by Chen Shuling by forcibly recruiting the people in the city. ”

Xiao Maha shook his head and said, "It's not like he hastily pulled Zhuang Ding to make up the numbers, whose subordinates are these?" ”

Ma Rong, the general of Xiao Maha's department, immediately replied: "General Yu, the humble post has been investigated clearly, and these people are the troops of Chen Bogu, the king of Xin'an County. ”

"King of Xin'an?" Xiao Maha raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were a little weird: "What is he here to make a fuss?" ”

How unpopular Chen Shuling is, Xiao Maha knows, Gao Yan rebelled, and his younger brother Gao Zhan waved his flag and shouted for him, Chen Shuling Chen Bing Jiankang raised his arms outside the city, and none of the forty brothers responded, and no one responded to his own brothers, so why did you have a cousin?

"The general doesn't know, this King of Shixing and the King of Xin'an County smell the same, in the early years, when Chen Bogu was still in the service, Chen Bogu often relied on the convenience of his position in the palace to report the gossip to Chen Shuling, they have long colluded together, no, as soon as Chen Bogu heard that Chen Shuling rebelled, he immediately brought his own people to help Chen Shuling."

Xiao Maha was speechless for a while after hearing this.

These two goods are really Da Chen's Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, and they are bright for a while! Chen Shuling loves tomb robbing, and being able to become a good brother of Chen Shuling is of course a wonder.

Chen Bogugui is Chen Qian's fifth son, but he was born a dwarf, and he has two special features: he loves to drink and bragging. And it's also a poor jingle moonlight clan.

The word impoverishment seems to have been insulated from the royal family since it was coined, but Chen Bogu did it.

Considering his special situation, Chen Ji gave him several positions and several salaries in one go, and he could always spend his money without any money, and beggars had to wipe their tears and detour when they met him.

Among the entire Nan Chen's clansmen, only his family is surrounded by four walls, and he doesn't do anything serious. Disturbing the people all day long and disrespecting the elders of the DPRK and China, Chen Ji would sometimes reprimand him, and then count the money to him helplessly.

Such a wonderful flower, it is self-explanatory, and he has no friends, and the only one who can play with him is Chen Shuling.

When he learned that Chen Shuling had raised troops, he didn't think about it, so he brought someone to stick a knife in Chen Shuling's ribs, first, to support his brother's rebellion. Second, when Chen Ji took away the throne belonging to their branch, as a descendant of Emperor Wen Chen Qian, Chen Bogu was always a little dissatisfied in his heart, and he should take revenge.

Xiao Maha also sighed with emotion, and said to the left and right:

"I know that King Shixing is a person, ambitious and small, strong and thin, jealous and less powerful, although there are many henchmen, but there are few who really entrust him, I thought that I led the troops to crusade, it must be unhindered and overwhelming, but today this Chen Bogu can actually spare his life for him, it can be seen that King Shixing is not all without merit."

The general glanced at his face and asked carefully, "The general won't be soft-hearted, right?" "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have explained that they are not allowed to let go of Chen Shuling and his henchmen.

"It's not soft-hearted, it's just that I suddenly have this feeling, and I don't vomit or feel unhappy." Xiao Maha also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he was a little embarrassed, so he waved his hand and wanted to expose the matter, and said with a straight face: "When I break the city, if the two of them have the courage to face the enemy with me, I will respect them as a man, even if I offend Mao Xi, I will try to leave them a whole corpse!" ”

Xiao Maha outside the city sharpened his knife, and the two brothers in the city stared at each other, and secretly said in their hearts: "Miscalculation!" ”

Chen Shuling didn't expect that this cousin who was blowing the cowhide and shook the sky couldn't shout alone, and his subordinates were all a group of wine bags and rice bags who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun; Chen Bogu didn't expect that Chen Shuling would be surrounded by Chen's henchmen and brothers from all over the world on weekdays, but when he really pulled the flag, he actually had so many people following behind.

"You still want to rebel at this point?" The two gave each other a look of disdain at the same time.

Although the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks are stubborn, their IQ is still on the passing line, and they know that this place is not suitable for a long time, so it is the right way to hurry up!
