Perhaps realizing that he was a little out of shape, Chen Yi leaned over to pick up the ivory guard and walked quickly to the bottom of the steps.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a love in return."

"Master Chen, just talk about it." Liu Yong made a very intriguing look, leaned his body forward slightly, and said.

"Wei Chen didn't agree with what the two adults said just now." Chen Yi cleared his throat and said, "Although Sima Yan's family has a very good foundation in Cao Wei, there are still many former Cao family members in the imperial court. As soon as someone picks up a head, these people will respond immediately. The minister thought that Sima Yan, whether he was building the Shouzen platform or not, his ambitions had been clearly revealed, and the local officials had their own thoughts, but they could not reach a consensus. If Your Majesty sends troops at this time, everyone will see that there is an external force to rely on, and they will definitely respond one after another, and Your Majesty can take this opportunity to recover the hearts of the people of Cao Wei and take Luoyang in one fell swoop. ”

"Although Lord Chen Yi has some truth, it is not true." An official named Yu Jiao, a lieutenant general and commander of Chengdu who had just been appointed by Liu Yong before leaving for Soochow, said, "Although my Shu Han has some savings in recent years, if I launch the Northern Expedition, I am afraid that I will soon empty all my money and grain." Lord Chen said that there are still many ministers in the Cao Wei court, and officials from all over the country also have their own thoughts, this is just wishful thinking on our part, once the war starts, if this situation does not happen, and all localities work together to resist our Shu Han soldiers, wouldn't they kill themselves? ”

"According to what Lord Yujiao sees, what should I do?" Liu Yong asked.

Liu Yong is very fond of this newly appointed Yu Jiao, although he is not very old, he is quite insightful and very calm.

The lieutenant general in charge of the army is actually a low-ranking general in the forbidden army, and there are not many people around him who can be mobilized. However, Chengdu Ling is both enviable and feared. In today's words, this person is the supreme governor of the capital, just because Chengdu is the capital of Shu and Han, and Liu Yong and the ministers of the imperial court gather, so many times, in the use of his power, there is no local county guard who can do whatever he wants.

A few steps forward on the reef.

"According to Weichen's opinion, on the one hand, Your Majesty continues to accumulate national strength, but also waits for the civil strife in Soochow to subside; On the other hand, it can make people go to Cao Wei's capital to find out the truth and reality, and use a lot of money to buy his original Cao Wei shares and local officials who have different intentions for Sima Yan, even if they accept one-tenth of them, thinking that I will use them, it is also the cornerstone of my success. After our country's strength was completely restored and the alliance of Soochow was stabilized, the Northern Expedition was discussed. At that time, our two countries will raise troops at the same time, why worry that Cao Wei will not be destroyed, and my Han family will not be prosperous? ”

Yu Jiao's words attracted a burst of admiration from everyone, and only Chen Yi seemed to have a different opinion.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yujiao's words are also disagreeable."

"Wait." Liu Yong suddenly put his hand on his forehead, "I already know the meaning of all the adults, but because I am a little too tired to go to Jiangdong and my mind is not clear, I will put today's matter aside for the time being, and wait for me to think about it carefully." ”

The eunuch on duty standing beside Liu Yong saw that Liu Yong seemed to be a little unwell, and immediately said loudly: "Scatter the dynasty." ”

Everyone knelt on the ground in unison.

Liu Yong didn't wait for everyone to send His Majesty's voice to the ground, and he had already left with the support of the eunuch.

Passing through the small door at the back, Liu Yong stopped.

"You don't have to stay with me, you can go outside quickly, and ask Lord Yujiao to come to my study to meet you." Liu Yong instructed the eunuch, "Remember, don't let anyone know, just quietly bring Lord Yujiao here." ”

Seeing that Liu Yong did not look sick, the eunuch nodded and left.

Not long after, Yu Jiao had been taken to Liu Yong's temporary study in Yongtai Palace.

"The minister has expected that His Majesty is not unwell, but it is difficult to decide for a while, so he will ask Weichen to come." Yu Jiao said.

Liu Yong laughed and said, "Lord Yujiao is really smart, it seems that I will always pay attention to you in front of you in the future, so as not to be embarrassed by your unmasked." ”

"Wechen doesn't dare." Yu Jiao hurriedly said.

Liu Yong motioned for him to sit down.

"Lord Chen Yi is the commander of the forbidden army ordered by me, but you, a small commander of the army, are openly contradicting Lord Chen in the main hall today, could it be that you are dissatisfied with Lord Chen?" Liu Yong asked deliberately.

Yu Jiao panicked a little.

"Your Majesty must not say such things, Weichen just thinks that what Lord Chen Yi said is a little inappropriate, and there is absolutely no other meaning."

Liu Yong nodded.

"I appreciate your straightforwardness, and it's extremely rare to dare to openly confront your boss, and I'm very pleased. It's just that today you said that you want me to make someone buy Cao Wei's shares, do you have a suitable candidate in mind? How can I tell that his person is anti-Sima Yan and supports the Cao clan? ”

Yu Jiao thought about it.

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Weichen has a cousin who is an official in the Cao Wei court, and he has repeatedly written to ask the minister to go to Cao Wei, but the minister softly refused because His Majesty is the master. In the letter, the minister saw that his cousin was dissatisfied with Sima Yanzhi's wanton rampage, but there was nothing he could do. Therefore, Wei Chen felt that it would not be difficult to find out from his cousin that there were still people who had this idea. ”

Liu Yong pondered for a moment.

"If I want you to go to Luoyang, find your cousin, and use this to open the gap, would you be willing to go?"

Yu Jiao immediately stood up.

"As long as Your Majesty can trust the minister, the minister is willing to go."

Liu Yong did not make a decision immediately.

"This matter still needs to be done carefully, you can go back first, and after I think about it, I will ask you to enter the palace to discuss it carefully."

"That being the case, Weichen retired." Yu Jiao retreated.

"Someone." Seeing Yu Jiao walking away, Liu Yong shouted.

The eunuch on duty at the door came in quickly.

"You go outside the palace quickly, General Xuan Weixu is here to see me." Liu Yong commanded.

Not long after, Wei Xu, dressed in silver armor, came to Liu Yong's study.

"I went to Soochow for a few months, General Wei Xu led people to guard the safety of the palace day and night, it was really hard, I have nothing to do today, and I specially invited the general to come here to talk about it, I wonder if the general can have this leisure to accompany me?" Liu Yong really didn't seem to have anything to do, and his expression was very relaxed.

"Your Majesty values Weichen so much, Weichen is flattered." Wei Xu said.

Liu Yong smiled, and then ordered someone to serve tea.

Liu Yong not only proposed to ask Wei Xu to buy gifts as soon as possible to propose to Xiyue, but also offered to renovate the mansion for him with funds from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"I know that the general has very little silver, and it will be difficult to get this gift for a while, but the general does not need to be anxious, I want the queen to give Sister Xiyue some ornaments, and the general can take them from her hands, and then prepare gifts after selling." Liu Yong said.

Wei Xu was overjoyed and knelt on the ground to thank him.

Liu Yong helped him up.

"The general doesn't need to thank me, this is Qi'er's meaning." Liu Yong said.

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are so kind to Weichen, I am afraid that Weichen will not be able to repay him in this life." Wei Xu was so grateful that he didn't know what to say.

After chatting for a while, Liu Yong stood up and seemed to leave.

Wei Xu knew that it was time for him to leave, but he hesitated again and looked at Liu Yong.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has an important matter to return to Your Majesty."

Liu Yong smiled secretly, his hard work was not in vain, Wei Xu really wanted to tell himself about Chen Yi.
