Chu Yanwu did not expect that Zhao Xifeng would actually take the initiative, but it was reasonable to do so. He had always focused on the glory of a great country.
If even he was indifferent at this time, wouldn't all the generals in the dynasty be cowards?
Zhao Xifeng had a wide influence and was well-known for his people's livelihood. The whole Chu State was called the general who protects the country.
Letting him come forward is indeed the best choice.
Many ministers also admired and supported Zhao Xifeng for self-recommendation.
But this is a good opportunity created by the hands of everyone. If you just miss it...
No matter how long his hands were, he couldn't blatantly reach out to the coast to deal with Xiao Chen. How could he allow the other party to grow with peace of mind?
After weighing the pros and cons, Jin Guangyao was once again given pressure.
He was also anxious and sweating, thinking, why don't this cause trouble?
I don’t know what’s wrong with Chu Yanwu’s brain. Didn’t he attach great importance to Xiao Chen before? Why do you want to push people out immediately to die?
If he persists in his opinion, it will be equivalent to offending Zhang Dongyang and Zhao Xifeng, and at the same time he will be in opposition to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
But if you don't follow the trend, it will be Chu Yanwu who is offended.
He is the monarch, but the result of the ruling also needs to be discussed by the ministers.
While Jin Guangyao was hesitant, Chen Jin quietly whispered in Chu Yanwu's ear: "Your Majesty, I have an idea..."
Chu Yanwu stared at him with overjoyed expressions of appreciation.
Not bothering to count on the loser Jin Guangyao anymore, Chu Yanwu said loudly: "Since General Zhao has volunteered like this, I allow you to lead an army of 200,000 to the border and take Zhou Tianfu's life!"
"I obey the order."
"Don't worry yet."
Chu Yanwuyou said: "This time it's not just about asking for people, the enemy's attitude also represents their national strength."
"So this time, Zhou Tianfu's life is at stake, and the 200,000 troops cannot be dispatched for nothing. We must get some benefits from it."
"There are three cities around Daqi. I order you and Xiao Chen to work together to capture them!"
"As for the Donglin suppression, I will let Wei Bai's security agency act on this matter."
"He was previously the governor of Jiangdong and had many years of dealings with the Japanese. He is a resolute and brave man, and should be more than enough to deal with a few remnants."
…
Three dynasties later, Zhao Xifeng and Jiang Dongyang walked side by side.
The two seemed to be going their separate ways, but they were talking to each other.
"Your Majesty, you really have a big appetite this time and want to do more than one thing."
"Taking Zhou Tianfu's life, involving Xiao Chen, and seizing the enemy's city, he is not willing to suffer any losses."
After working hard in the court for so long, he was still no match for Chu Yanwu's heart as big as a needle's eye.
Zhang Dongyang didn't take it seriously: "This is the best result we have striven for for him."
"The Emperor is determined to deal with him. How can he give up on such a good opportunity so easily?"
"I'm afraid that this time, he also wants to take advantage of the situation and use the grudge between Zhou Tianfu and Xiao Chen to make them kill each other and survive."
After all, Chu Yanwu can sit in that position, and Yang himself is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The harem, which had never interfered with the court, was also affected by the recent news related to Xiao Chen.
The concubines all looked sad and sad.
Concubine Jing, Concubine Shu, Zhao Jieyu.
In the past, when Xiao Chen was here, they always looked at each other a little bit, and it was usually due to jealousy.
But now, the other person is the person with whom he has few common topics in the harem.
Zhao Jieyu was a little depressed: "You said that the emperor is really serious. Do you have to torture Xiao Chen to death?"
Concubine Shu always smiled calmly and calmly: "Who says it's not the case?"
There is no one around now, so they are the only women here to talk to each other.
Concubine Shu looked at Concubine Jing: "You manage Sihai Trading Company and have some contacts with Mr. Xiao, but how is he doing recently?"
She feels a little regretful now. She had so many opportunities with Xiao Chen Yuanfang before, why didn't he cherish them?
Now that she has left, knowing that she is in a bad situation makes her miss her even more, which is worrying.
She regarded Xiao Chen as her husband, but she always felt that the couple would be in trouble if they did not consummate their marriage.
Concubine Jing coughed twice, and suddenly felt a sense of pride as if she had become a rich man: "He, he mentioned to me about doing business recently."
"But the plan can't keep up with the changes. Your Majesty insists on letting him go to Daqi to join the war. I don't know if it will be delayed."
She couldn't help but slightly clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "There is obviously General Zhao, but the emperor insists on dragging Xiao Chen into the water. What on earth does he have in mind?"
"My arms can't twist my thighs. If Xiao Chen is really beaten to death by him one day, I will never let him go!"
Concubine Jing has long been Concubine Jing, and she has long disdained competition for favor.
Whenever Chu Yanwu wanted to consummate his marriage with them, he would never find a chance.
On the contrary, the newly promoted concubines were favored.
"You should keep your voice down. If someone with a heart hears about this matter, we will all be implicated by you."
Several people glanced at her angrily.
Concubine Jing curled her lips dejectedly: "I'm not concerned about it, but I'm confused, but by the way, can you really swallow this?"
Where are the men in your family who have been bullied? The women in the family only know how to be happy but remain unmoved.
Although she couldn't stop what happened in the court, as a concubine of the emperor and a woman in the harem, it was not difficult to find a way to mess with him.
Concubine Shu and Zhao Jieyu looked at each other and said nothing.
Their eyes fell on Concubine Jing, and they saw her eyes rolling, revealing her cunning and cunning side in doing business.
He waved to the two of them: "Come closer and listen to me."
After Concubine Jing finished speaking, the three of them couldn't help laughing.
"I think it's too bad of you to think of such a way to torment people."
Zhao Jieyu couldn't wait: "I really want to see him reap the consequences!"
"Keep your voice down, and the three of us will work together!"
The three hit it off immediately.
As night approached, Chu Yanwu stayed alone in the palace and felt lonely again.
It's depressing to say the least. You don't want what you get, but what you don't get is always in turmoil.
For example, the concubines in the harem recently seemed to be warm and simple towards him, and kept them at arm's length.
Chu Yanwu knocked on the table: "Chen Jin, what do you think happened to my beloved concubines?"
"I used to be so fiercely competitive about favors and eager to climb up the ladder, but now there are always millions of reasons to keep me out."
Chu Yanwu was puzzled. When did this situation begin?
It seems... since Xiao Chen entered the palace?
Forget it, he is just a eunuch, how come you can think of him for everything?
It seems that I hate him deeply.
