"Lord Zhou Mu, have you received your Majesty's edict?"
Guan Yongning was not polite and asked Chen Xinghe.
"No."
Chen Xinghe shook his head indifferently.
Although Guan Yongning took refuge in Mr. Zhao, in Chen Xinghe's eyes, he was still not good enough.
I don't deserve to have a direct conversation with him at all.
Because of Mr. Zhao's face, I only said a few perfunctory words here.
"Is Your Majesty in danger?"
Guan Yongning asked again.
"Ah."
Chen Xinghe sneered, "As the emperor of the dynasty, your majesty leads a large army, and he only goes to suppress bandits. How can he be in danger?"
"Who in the entire Dawei Dynasty dares to target His Majesty?"
"hehe."
Ruan Wendi secretly expressed disdain.
Fortunately, Zhao Ping stopped him with a glare in time, otherwise this guy might have criticized Chen Xinghe for his close friend.
"In that case, what is your reason for meeting His Majesty?"
Guan Yongning said: "You know, you are a dignified Qingzhou governor and a high official. Without an imperial edict, leaving your post without any reason is a serious crime."
"It's just that you are the emperor's uncle, and His Majesty is kind and cannot bear to punish you."
"But where are the important officials in the court?"
"Will I let you go?"
"Where is everyone in the world? Will they forgive you?"
"I……"
A series of rhetorical questions left Chen Xinghe speechless.
In fact, before coming here, Chen Xinghe had already asked his master Chen Jiu and got the same answer.
Chen Xinghe couldn't help but look at Guan Yongning.
"Then you come and teach me what to do now?"
Chen Xinghe asked in a deep voice.
"Gather the army and march towards Yuzhou."
Guan Yongning said.
"What?"
The good impression Chen Xinghe had just had towards him disappeared instantly after hearing these words.
Qianqiu just said that he couldn't come to see him, so he pretended that nothing happened.
Later we will gather an army to go to Yuzhou.
If he doesn't do it right, His Majesty will think that his old uncle is going to rebel.
That's not asking for guilt, it's just beheading.
What he said before and after cannot be consistent. Such a counselor will only drag down the master's family.
Chen Jiu also breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced at Chen Xinghe secretly, as if to say: "Take a look, if you are not allowed to come to Donghai County, you have to come. There are many advisers around Zhao Ping, and they will definitely be able to find the best solution for you."
"Is this the best?"
"It's better to ask you to die."
Chen Xinghe looked a little worried. Just when he was about to scold him, he heard Zhao Ping ask questions.
"Mr. Guan, why do you say that?"
Zhao Ping replaced Chen Xinghe and asked him the doubts in his heart.
"You just said that Master Chen should wait and see what happens. Why are you asking him to gather an army and rush to Yuzhou now? Isn't this contradicting himself?"
"Hahaha."
Guan Yongning stroked his beard and smiled: "I said wait and see what happens, that's when nothing happens."
"But what if something happens?"
Guan Yongning asked.
"Is something wrong?"
Chen Xinghe said angrily: "Your Majesty goes on an expedition, what can happen?"
"Master Zhou Mu, I wonder if you have thought about a question?"
Guan Yongning did not answer him, but asked instead: "Your Majesty is old and the prince is young. If something happens to your majesty and the prince is unable to preside over the government, who should be in charge of the country of the Dawei Dynasty?"
"Of course it's the Assistant Minister."
Chen Xinghe blurted out.
"What if something happens to His Majesty in Yuzhou and you haven't had time to choose an auxiliary minister?"
Guan Yongning continued to ask.
"this……"
Chen Xinghe was in trouble and had to turn his head to look at Chen Jiu, hoping that he could answer on his behalf.
"hehe."
Chen Jiu sneered, "Your Majesty is the emperor and has already taken everything in his hands."
"If my estimate is correct, he had anticipated this situation before setting off and had already arranged manpower."
"Since Your Majesty has anticipated that an accident may occur, what's wrong with us gathering an army to rescue him?"
Guan Yongning asked again.
"You are just arrogant."
Chen Jiu said angrily: "I said that His Majesty had anticipated everything and made arrangements in advance. It was just a precaution, not a real trouble."
"Besides, the bandits in Yuzhou are all a mob. I heard that His Majesty led a large army to suppress the bandits. I might have fled with my tail between my legs."
"What about the officials?"
Guan Yongning asked tit for tat.
“The bandits are raging in Yuzhou, who is to blame?”
"It must be the king of Yuzhou's poor governance."
"Once His Majesty succeeds in suppressing the bandits, I believe he will be the first to attack the King of Yuzhou."
"this……"
Chen Jiu was asked.
He really hadn't thought about this.
But he didn't want to admit that he was not as resourceful as Guan Yongning, so he argued forcefully: "The King of Yuzhou is your Majesty's younger brother. Could it be that he can still rebel?"
"It is precisely because he is His Majesty's biological brother that he is most likely to rebel."
Guan Yongning said coldly.
"Let me ask, if something happens to His Majesty, who will benefit the most, or in Yuzhou?"
"There are hidden forces in the court, and there are also auxiliary ministers, but they all revolve around the prince. It will definitely be the prince who finally ascends the throne and becomes emperor."
"But what about the King of Yuzhou?"
"As the last person to have contact with His Majesty, will he falsely pass on the edict?"
"For example, revising His Majesty's imperial edict and passing the emperor to the king of Yuzhou."
hiss!
Everyone took a breath after hearing this.
Even Zhao Ping glared at Guan Yongning fiercely.
This old man really dares to think about anything.
Amending the imperial edict is something that a mere county magistrate should think of?
And he said it in front of the old emperor's uncle. Aren't you afraid that the old emperor's uncle might be dissatisfied and chop off his head?
"Guan Yongning, don't talk nonsense."
Zhao Ping scolded.
Then he said to Chen Xinghe: "Master Zhou Mu, I don't know much about Your Majesty, so I can't give any better suggestions."
"How about you stay in the state capital and wait and see what happens."
"However, we have to send personnel to Yuzhou to find out the news. If there are changes, we will be ready to respond at any time."
"That's all it can do."
Chen Xinghe sighed, "Then I will go back to the state capital first and send someone to inquire about the information."
Before leaving, he glared at Guan Yongning and warned: "Guan Juncheng, remember your identity."
"You are just a counselor under Mr. Zhao. There are some things you can say and some things you cannot say."
"Otherwise, I might cause more trouble for you sir."
"I remember it, little one."
Guan Yongning accepted the criticism humbly and bowed down.
But there was some contempt in my heart. This old uncle didn't stand by my husband?
Then come here and ask for shitty strategy?
None of them are their own.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have told him anything.
When Chen Xinghe was leaving, Zhao Ping and others naturally saw him off.
As soon as he arrived outside the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, two fast horses rushed towards him.
There is one person riding on each horse.
All are dusty.
One of them was still wearing a eunuch uniform, like someone sent by the imperial court.
Zhao Ping recognized them at a glance. It was the dean Song Ming whom he was looking forward to returning day and night.
and the eunuch Li He who delivered the order.
It was also he who revealed the news that the prince was not His Majesty's biological child after drinking in the Tian family.
I just didn’t wait for Zhao Ping to speak.
The two men rode together.
Control...
thump! thump!
The two fast horses fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, taking in less air and outgoing more air. They were obviously exhausted.
The two people riding on top were also thrown to the ground.
It was extremely embarrassing.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Jiu pointed at them and scolded: "With your blind eyes, didn't you see Master Zhou Mu here?"
"If you collide with Mr. Zhou Mu, be careful and chop off your heads."
Chen Xinghe's face also looked a little gloomy.
I was really scared.
Riding a horse and running rampant in front of the county governor's house, it was clear that he didn't take the county governor seriously.
According to the law, he should be sent to the army as an assassin.
Chen Xinghe was just about to command the guards to teach them a lesson and send them to the border, when he saw Zhao Ping walking over first.
He helped the two people up and said in surprise: "Eunuch Li, aren't you in the capital?"
"Why are you here in Donghai County?"
"And he was riding a fast horse all the way. Could it be that His Majesty has something urgent and needs you to convey it to Donghai County quickly?"
The father-in-law who delivers the decree in the capital?
Chen Jiu shrank his neck in fear, took two steps back, and hid behind Chen Xinghe.
Although the father-in-law was incomplete, since he could convey orders, he had a certain status. Chen Jiu could not afford to offend him.
Although Chen Xinghe is not afraid of a small eunuch, after hearing Zhao Ping's question, he was the father-in-law who quickly conveyed His Majesty's urgent order, so he really couldn't scold him.
I can only swallow the words that come to my lips, stand aside and watch what happens.
"deliver an imperial order?"
Li He was stunned for a moment and looked at Song Ming beside him.
This time, Song and Ming were the leaders in conveying the order.
Although he is a eunuch, he can only help.
The specific announcement of the decree should still be made by the Song and Ming Dynasties.
Zhao Ping also looked at Song Ming.
Song Ming said anxiously: "Sir, it's bad, something big has happened..."
Before he finished speaking, he was already breathing heavily for several times, and his voice became hoarse.
If you don't listen carefully, it's hard to tell what he's saying.
Zhao Ping interrupted him and said: "Song Ming, don't worry, let's go to the county governor's house, drink some water, rest for a while, and then you can talk slowly."
"No, wait, can't wait."
Song Ming grabbed Zhao Ping's arm and insisted: "Your Majesty is in trouble, please help him quickly."
