Chapter 671: Di Gou can't pass the capital

"Ahh

In the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen Xuance, who was only four years old, had beautiful eyebrows, and when he stood behind the desk to draw big characters, he suddenly sneezed without warning.

He reached out and gently rubbed his nose, and heard his sister and brother outside calling him out to play.

"Xuan Ce, come out and play."

"Take you to meet a new sister, she is beautiful, my mother said that she is your future lady, called Fang Ruoxue." Sugar Bao was in the yard, shaking his arms vigorously, trying to call out his younger brother Xuan Ce and play with them.

Chen Xuance only felt noisy, and ordered the scholar to close all the windows and doors, and continue to concentrate on drawing his own big characters.

"Lady or something, it's the most annoying......"

.....

"Yesterday, the news of the border emergency came, and the West Wuzhu grassland was lost, why didn't you express your opinion?" After Fang Xiu sat down, he couldn't wait to ask.

Chen Chao rummaged in the study before finding the tea leaves, lit a small stove and poured spring water, and began to make tea in a decent way.

Chen Chao raised his eyes, glanced at Fang Xiu opposite, and said lightly: "Today, you don't hesitate to give your little granddaughter Fang Ruoxue to my family, just for this?" ”

"Ruoxue is from your family sooner or later, and your wife has come to the door and said it several times." Fang Xiu said.

Chen Chao raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Song Qingwan to worry more about the child's lifelong affairs than himself.

After thinking about it, Chen Chao said calmly: "The border is urgent, although I, Chen Chao, am the head of a hundred officials, but I am a civil official, not a military general, for the war, let them do it, I will not get involved." ”

"Hmph." Fang Xiu snorted coldly, knowing that Chen Chao was fooling him, "Since you are a civil official, why did you interfere in the previous bandits in Yunzhou?" Why do you want to meddle in the affairs of the Qin State? So, that's not a reason. ”

"This time, Beidi's 500,000 soldiers and horses are menacing, and if you are not careful, the capital will also be in danger, you say you don't care?"

"Isn't there still 200,000 Xu Jiajun? Afraid of what? Chen Chao retorted.

"Until now, you still refuse to tell the truth to the old man." Fang Xiu was really a little angry, "When Xu Boyan was still there, of course the old man was not afraid, but now that the Xu family army is in command, it is the king of Xinjiang, how can the old man not be afraid?" ”

Chen Chao smiled: "Wasn't the king of Xinjiang chosen by you?" ”

Grunt grunt –

The water boiled, lifted the lid of the small stove, and made a soft sound, Chen Chao twisted the tea leaves and brewed a pot of tea.

"After Li Yu's incident happened back then, at that time, I knew that several men of the Daji royal family were unreliable, and the second prince would always be in the north to defend the border, but you took advantage of the fact that I couldn't get away from the Qin State, and with only some merits, you welcomed the second prince back from the frontier without authorization, and was also named the king of Xinjiang."

Chen Chao narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was resentful about this matter.

"Yes, you are loyal ministers, in your hearts, your heart will always be the Li family of the imperial family, and the emperor must also be surnamed Li, otherwise you will make trouble with me, I have already made Yingying the emperor, what are you not satisfied with? I know what's going on in your hearts...... But what I think is that Yingying is a little girl, and she is the emperor of a country as a woman, which is unheard of, and you were willing to let Yingying be the emperor back then, but there is no good candidate at present. ”

"It's good this year, the second prince has made some contributions, and you loyal ministers can't wait to welcome him back, first as the king of the frontier, and then don't you want to put him on the throne of the emperor!"

Chen Chao stopped his voice, and between his eyebrows, there was a loss that could not be dispersed.

In the court, there is still Fang Xiu, and the royalist faction led by Zhou Mi.

They don't want to admit that they let a little girl be the emperor, and they always want to take the opportunity to let Yingying step down, so that they can be replaced by someone they are all willing to use.

Fang Xiu sat calmly and stopped talking.

In the future, letting the king of Xinjiang be the emperor is indeed the intention of some people.

A few years ago, he himself had this idea, but in recent years, this idea has slowly faded.

There is nothing wrong with a woman being an emperor.

Chen Chao poured two cups of tea, and pushed one over, "Lord Fang, do you know why Xu Boyan handed over his military power in advance before this war?" Why have you been so close to me all these years? ”

"I don't know." Fang Xiu said: "But the old man knows that he used to be the most trusted general of the first emperor, and he was the only one in the north. ”

Chen Chao smiled lightly: "Yes, before the empress and Yongxing came to power, the first emperor was still alive, and Xu Boyan was the most trusted general of the first emperor." But soon after Yongxing came to power, everything changed, Yongxing used the matter of Empress Yang to make me an enemy of Xu Boyan, which is very complicated, I won't say much about the details, in short, I and Xu Boyan talked about the matter, and we didn't fight to the death. ”

"This time, Xu Boyan handed over the military power ahead of schedule, and in the court, I don't care about the Beidi army going south, it is indeed my intention."

Fang Xiu was slightly stunned in his heart and asked, "Why are you doing this?" ”

"I said that the king of Xinjiang collaborated with the enemy and treason, does Lord Fang believe it?"

"Why?" Fang Xiu frowned and couldn't help but stand up.

"See? Lord Fang didn't believe it, so there were some things I didn't want to tell Lord Fang in advance, and there were many people I didn't tell. ”

Fang Xiu sat down again and sat up straighter: "It's not that the old man doesn't believe it, it's just that everything must be evidenced!" ”

Chen Chao took a sip of tea, "Evidence? This big battle is proof of this. ”

Fang Xiu's brows furrowed, and he suddenly laughed.

"Lord Fang, what are you laughing at?" Chen Chao said strangely.

"Happy."

"Why are you happy?"

"I'm glad that you have planned and arranged for this matter, no matter what, you will come out to finish, right, even if the king of Xinjiang is defeated? Even if the Beidi soldiers are in the city? ”

Chen Chao didn't answer, and continued to drink tea slowly.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu also took a sip of tea.

After drinking, he smacked his lips: "Good tea." ”

Fang Xiu got up and shook slightly, Chen Chao didn't know what he was doing.

"Dare to ask Chen Xiang, Di Gou can't pass the capital?"

"But!"

"Good!"

Fang Xiu had already gotten the answer he wanted and left in style.

.....

Standing at the door, Chen Chao looked at it for a while, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he couldn't understand this old man more and more.
