Li Yunxing's connection with the Western Regions this time has a long-term impact, but Lian Zhan does not know whether this matter is a blessing or a curse.

He doesn't have Li Yunxing's "God's perspective", so he naturally doesn't know that this matter in the Western Regions is something Li Yunxing must do.

If the Wu Dynasty wants to develop by leaps and bounds, it must vigorously develop the economy.

The so-called economic foundation determines the superstructure, and now that the treasury of the Wu Dynasty is empty, even if Li Yunxing wants to develop new industries and new weapons, he can only stay at the level of fantasy.

What's more, he knew that the benefits of this trade in the Western Regions would be for generations to come.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the minister has no objection to going to the Western Regions."

"It's just that if Weichen leaves the Western Regions, then the defense of the capital is worrying that the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be difficult to guarantee."

These are the words of Lian Zhan from the bottom of his heart.

Now surrounded by wolves, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lian Zhan can be said to be Li Yunxing's talisman.

If Lian Zhan goes west this time, I don't know how many days and months it will take to return to the capital, and it is difficult to guarantee that Liu Zhongqing will not take the opportunity to seize military power and secretly murder the prince.

"Although this imperial examination, the palace will also select another virtuous minister to serve."

"But this palace wants to hear General Lian's opinion, is there a recommended candidate to use?"

If it weren't for the fact that Lian Zhan was only sent to do it, Li Yunxing would definitely not want to send Lian Zhan out of Beijing.

But the trade in the Western Regions is very crucial, and he is not at ease when it is handed over to others.

Lian Zhan pondered for a moment, and then said, "I heard that Yin Chenguang, who was appointed to the Imperial Governor's Mansion, was born as a Jinshi during the Martial Emperor period. Literary brilliance and strategic. ”

"Chen Guang......" Li Yunxing tried to search for this person's name in his mind, but he didn't know anything.

At this time, Lian Zhan added, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know that when Chen Guang was serving in the Imperial Palace, he didn't know who angered the court because of the investigation of an unsolved case, and he was finally assassinated in his own bed. At the time of this incident, the crown prince was not yet a year old. So it's normal for the prince not to know about Chen Guang. ”

Li Yunxing then understood, and said, "What does General Lian think?" ”

Lian Zhan said with a smile: "Chen Guang has made great achievements in the period of Emperor Wu, and has served in the Tingwei Mansion for decades. When he died, his son Chen Jinyan was no more than eight years old. Because Lao Chen assisted Chen Guang in investigating many cases, his son was sent to the Lian family army by Chen. He went to the battlefield at the age of twelve, and became a cavalry captain at the age of fifteen, and he was originally a promising person. ”

Li Yunxing didn't expect that there would be such a strange person.

But it seems that this man's reputation has never been heard in the court.

"Then this person is still in the Lian family's army? How have I never seen it. Li Yunxing was very puzzled.

Lian Zhan is not a pedantic person, and he will not hinder the rise of such a young hero, right?

It's just that I haven't seen this person for so long, I'm afraid there are other hidden secrets, right?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chen Jinyan was dissatisfied because his father was unjustly killed, and he was already dissatisfied because the court did not find out the truth. After returning from the border that year, Emperor Wu also praised him, and wanted to reward him for his meritorious deeds and add officials to the knighthood, but Chen Jinyan refused. ”

Li Yunxing also understood a little when he heard this.

Chen Jinyan must be haunted by the death of his father in his heart.

In this way, Chen Jinyan is indeed a useful person, affectionate and righteous, loyal and filial.

In order to rehabilitate his father, he was willing to join the army at a young age and made great contributions, only hoping to find out the truth as soon as possible so that his father could turn a blind eye.

It's just that now Lian Zhan mentioned this person, but it made him hesitate.

Li Yunxing frowned and thought about it.

But the emperor's holy decree, whether it is a reward or a punishment, as a courtier, has no right to refuse.

There is no need for Lian Zhanming to say it, Li Yunxing can also think that Chen Jinyan's matter will definitely annoy Emperor Wu.

So in the end, he couldn't keep his military merits, and even he himself was demoted to a commoner.

"After the rebellion, he left the Lian family army and became independent."

"The subordinates of the previous minister happened to see him in Jingzhou, and now it seems that he has opened a blacksmith shop."

In this way, Lian Zhan is also full of embarrassment.

The young hero ends up being reduced to a blacksmith, and it is tragic that he is extremely depressed.

Therefore, he specially informed Li Yunxing of Chen Jinyan's matter, hoping that he could value this loyal man.

After all, loyalty is hard to pay.

Li Yunxing looked at Lian Zhan, "Do you plan to let him take over the position of the capital garrison?" ”

"Exactly." Lian Zhan nodded.

"Do you think he can suppress the forces in the capital?"

In the capital, there are undercurrents of various forces, and not only can be competent.

The reason why Li Yunxing handed over this post to Lian Zhan was also because of his prestige in the DPRK and China for many years.

Although Chen Jinyan's father was the governor of the Tingwei Mansion back then, more than 20 years have passed now, and even Li Yunxing doesn't know who Chen Guang is, and how can Chen Jinyan talk about prestige.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is discerning, this person does have some means and resourcefulness, and like his father, he is a strong character, and he never tolerates compromise with traitors and villains. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts him, putting him in the capital is enough to deter the Quartet. ”

Li Yunxing frowned.

The traitorous villain that Lian Zhan said in his mouth naturally refers to Liu Zhongqing's generation.

Li Yunxing nodded and said, "General Lian's intentions are already known to the palace, and this matter will be considered." It's just that General Lian knows who did his father's murder back then? ”

This matter is also one of Lian Zhan's knots.

Chen Guang was ordered to investigate the theft of iron ore, and Emperor Wu opened an iron mine in Jingzhou, but finally found that the iron mine was stolen overnight. This matter is definitely not something that people can do, so they arranged for the Tingwei Mansion to personally supervise it. ”

But Chen Guang died at home, and the whole thing became even more confusing. But because of the Xiongnu incident, Emperor Wu had no time to thoroughly investigate the matter, so he completely buried this matter. ”

When Li Yunxing heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, obviously extremely disgusted by this matter.

At that time, it was a critical period when the Xiongnu and the Wu Dynasty were competing for hegemony, and Emperor Wu naturally lacked skills.

But Chen Jinyan has a grudge in his heart, and it is also natural.

"That's it, this palace will remember this for the time being. If the palace can't come up with a result, presumably Chen Jinyan will not want to return to the court. ”

Li Yunxing sighed.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is merciful!"

Lian Zhan bowed and said, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any needs, just ask the ministers to do it." ”

Now that he has expressed his stance on his side, Lian Zhan will naturally not be stingy.

Li Yunxing nodded, "General Lian bothered. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know when the minister will leave?"

"Two days later." Li Yunxing pondered for a moment, "You have to bring another person." ”

Lian Zhan was slightly shocked, this trip was so rushed?

"The illness of the lord of the Great Moon Clan cannot be delayed, if he dies, all of us will be in vain."

Lian Zhan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then he asked, "Who else do you want to bring?" ”

"The white mustard seeds ordered by the Imperial Doctor."
