Upon hearing this familiar yet fearful name, Chu Yanwu's expression suddenly changed, and his expectation instantly turned into vigilance.
"Xiao Chen..."
He is afraid of Da Qi, can he let Xiao Chen go?
It is because he is so smart and capable that his military achievements even surpass those of the king.
For such a person, the more he breathes, the more it suffocates him.
Chu Yanwu wanted to get rid of him quickly, so how could he hand over military power and put him to good use?
Isn’t this a problem of raising tigers?
He remained silent and did not answer, but the people below were already making a lot of noise.
"Your Majesty is in a critical situation now, and the civil and military officials in the dynasty have no available talents."
"Only General Xiao has a great reputation, and now he is even more popular. He can not only confront the enemy, but also calm the restless hearts of the people."
“You kill two birds with one stone, why not?”
All the people also knelt down: "Please, Your Majesty, make a holy judgment as soon as possible to relieve the current crisis in Chu!"
Chu Yanwu clenched his fists and said, "That's enough. I have my own considerations on this matter."
"After all, he does not have rich combat experience. Let me consider this matter again. Today's court meeting ends here!"
Chu Yan waved his sleeves and left directly, leaving only the confused civil and military officials in the court.
"What do you mean? General Xiao is so brave and good at fighting. The country is at a critical moment. What is your majesty struggling with?"
At this time, Ji Yunzhang could not help but sneer lightly: "I want talented people who can work for me, but I am also afraid that the other party's reputation will overshadow my own."
"Since ancient times, you can't have your cake and eat it too, but our emperor seems to be a little greedy."
Father, like son.
Zhao Xifeng's incident also allowed many people to fully see Chu Yanwu's true face.
He is just a mercenary villain. Talking about the country and the overall situation with him is not asking for trouble.
Everyone was at a loss for a while, but Zhang Dongyang smiled slowly and said: "Don't worry, your Majesty has no choice."
"With the current situation, he can only compromise!"
He strode away.
If there is a real dilemma, it is Chu Yanwu. How long does it take to think about it?
The longer he delayed, the more people suffered, and the more unscrupulous Da Qi's army became.
Just be afraid, when the enemy's strength reaches a certain level, even if Xiao Chen comes, it will be of no avail.
Chu Yanwu went directly to the queen and slapped the table angrily.
Chen Jin followed him, and the queen squeezed his shoulders and pushed his back.
The two of them cooperated with each other, one as a honey trap and the other as a flatterer, and finally managed to coax Chu Yanwu like a child.
He rubbed the queen's belly: "Tell me about you. There have been several new days every day. Why haven't you listened to the news?"
The queen was speechless in her heart, but she still said teasingly: "Bixia must be very angry with those people. Even if she is really pregnant, it will take at least a month for her to react and the imperial doctor can find out."
After Chu Yanwu realized it, he said, "Yes, but can I still wait a month?"
"Those ministers were chasing me and barking like mad dogs, forcing me to reuse Xiao Chen."
"But Xiao Chen is too scheming and heavy-handed. If you use him too much, you will undoubtedly be playing with fire and burning yourself."
"I dreamed about him several times in the past few days. They were all nightmares about Xiao Chen riding on the pillow and working for me. He even dreamed of being on my throne."
"Tell me about such a person. How can I safely grant him military power?"
Chu Yanwu clapped his hands, like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and at a loss.
The queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, that was just a dream. Dreams are reversed, which just shows Xiao Chen's loyalty to you."
"The current situation is very unfavorable to you. If it is not resolved in time, the people will riot and the enemy troops will attack the city. You will be unable to withstand it."
"If at that time, my concubine suddenly became pregnant with a dragon seed, and Chu was in danger of being besieged by enemy troops, wouldn't this be a trick of fate?"
The Queen gently calmed him down and said kindly: "Your Majesty, I hope you will put the overall situation first."
"Even if it's not for the common people and courtiers, I still have to ask about your future orthodox bloodline, right?"
She has an affectionate look on her face, and even though she is thirty years old, she still has her youthfulness and charm, which makes people feel itchy just looking at her.
Chu Yanwu swallowed his saliva, hugged her waist and couldn't stop, "You are such a annoying little goblin, you really want to suck all my yang energy."
"Since the queen has spoken, I will obey you. But before that, I have to have an in-depth communication with you!"
Chen Jin wisely withdrew, and after closing the door, a faint sound of joy came from inside.
He slowly closed his eyes, but his heart was in a mess.
He also saw clearly that Chu Yanwu's selfishness would sooner or later destroy Chu and himself.
Da Chu can fall into crisis, but he must not lose his backer.
Once it is lost and left alone, one will inevitably be retaliated against for all the past events.
When he returned to his residence, he quickly called Liu Yu: "Take out some things from our treasure house, select the expensive ones, select the treasured ones, and then pack them up and send them to Jiangdong."
Liu Yu was a little confused: "Why send it to Jiangdong, to the governor of Jiangdong?"
If you think about it carefully, it's not right either.
Jiangdong is so far away from the imperial court, there is no need for them to curry favor.
Those people may never see each other again in their lifetime.
If it hadn't been for the Japanese people making trouble and their meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, Wei Baian would probably have been just a little governor who would never survive.
Chen Jin glared at him angrily: "You know nothing, now His Majesty has decided to re-employ Xiao Chen."
"His prestige is now so high that he is a person whom everyone aspires to, both in the hearts of the people and in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the court."
"Our family was stupid before, how could we offend such a person?"
"Before the stalemate is completely over, it's time to relax and ease the relationship."
"We always have to leave a way out for ourselves."
Anyway, when he saw Chu Yanwu wandering around the harem every day, he wished that he would be exhausted and die.
Even if he doesn't get squeezed, he will die in bed sooner or later.
Since he didn't dare to say anything more, he prepared several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry and sent them to Jiangdong.
A few days later, those boxes of jewelry fell in front of Xiao Chen.
"Oh my, General Jiu Qian is so generous, I'm a little flattered."
"So much gold, silver and jewelry, ordinary people can't earn it in more than ten lifetimes. I didn't expect that Jiu Qian was very good at making money!"
Xiao Chen held a bead string in his left hand and a jade screen porcelain in his right hand, but he was angry at Chen Jin.
That old fox exploited the people and colluded with court officials, but he didn't expect to receive so many benefits.
Sure enough, in today's world, bad people still make more money.
No wonder honest people are bullied and always labeled as poor!
All the money has been made by evil people!
