Chapter 621: Keep the Bottom Line
Xiao Maha rubbed his chin lightly, examining Xu Shanxin. And Xu Shanxin also knew that Xiao Maha must understand why he came, and said with a smile: "It's not a secret, the lower official was ordered to go to Shu County, but the one who was waiting to receive the order in Shu County was not so easy to deal with, so the lower official came to the general and wanted to ask the general for advice." ”
Xiao Maha said in a deep voice: "General Zhenxi did serve under a certain command, but that was more than half a year ago, and General Zhenxi was only a partial general at that time, so he didn't know much about him, but he knew that this person was resourceful and brave and good at fighting, so he could only say that he was going to Bashu, and Xu Jun should be careful." ”
Xu Shanxin resisted the urge to slap the table at this time, because the meaning of Xiao Maha's words to prevaricate him was too obvious.
Xiao Maha is not familiar with Li Xinchen's words, so now in the entire Nanchen court, I am afraid that there will be no one who is familiar with Li Xinchen. As for what "I don't know deeply", Xu Shanxin knows very well that if there is no Li Xinchen's advice, Xiao Maha would not have been able to stand out in the original Battle of Luliang, and it would be impossible to take Jiangling easily.
Even now Li Xinchen still has a mansion in Jiangling, and even this mansion is only separated from Xiao Maha's mansion by a wall!
And what follows "should be careful" is exactly the same as what Pei Ji said at the time. Of course, Xu Shanxin knew that he should be careful, but he didn't know anything about the enemy, how he should be careful. Xu Shanxin asked himself if he was as good as Li Xinchen, and wanted to deal with such an opponent when the two sides did not understand each other, Xu Shanxin only felt that he was the prey sent to the door.
And Zhou Qu frowned and said: "General, Li Shizhong has not moved much since he made peace with the Zhou people, what is he thinking about?" Do you want to be unfavorable to my Da Chen? ”
Zhou Qu's words were indeed a little heartbroken, and when Xiao Maha and Xu Shanxin's faces changed slightly, and Xiao Maha sighed in his heart, he knew that Zhou Qu, the old man, was using this method to force himself to speak.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Maha said lightly: "Your Majesty's will was originally made public, since Shizhong did not object, then it should be regarded as accepting this result, so Xu Jun does not need to worry, as long as you abide by your duty, Shizhong will definitely not make any extraneous branches, and it is not good to embarrass you at this time." ”
While speaking, Xiao Maha looked at Xu Shanxin's expression, he believed in Xu Ling and Pei Ji's ability to see people, and he also knew that before leaving, whether it was Xu Ling or Pei Ji, he had to dial Xu Shanxin a little bit, how did he get to this Jiangling, Xu Shanxin still looked so worried, could it be that this young man was really scared?
Xu Shanxin nodded, he naturally understood this truth, Bashu had just been calmed down, and it was indeed unlikely that Li Xinchen would take the initiative to cause trouble, but ······ Xu Shanxin said helplessly: "General, the lower officials don't want to deceive, Your Majesty's will is clearly true, but there is another one that wants the lower officials to urge General Zhenxi to complete the marriage with Her Royal Highness Princess Lechang as soon as possible, this is ······"
Hearing this, Zhou Qu and Xiao Maha subconsciously glanced at each other and suddenly realized. For His Majesty's decision, the two of them had no choice but to be helpless.
The princess's wedding must not be in Shu County or Jiangling, but only in Jiankang Mansion, not to mention the pearl of His Royal Highness Lechang, who is recognized as His Majesty.
Therefore, Chen Xu's subtext urging Li Xinchen to marry the princess as soon as possible is to urge Li Xinchen to return to Jiankang Mansion.
How likely is it that Li Xinchen will agree to this condition, Xiao Maha and Zhou Qu will know if they think about it, or in other words, this is simply Chen Xinchen's bottom line testing Li Xinchen.
If Li Xinchen has no room for maneuver on this issue and refuses directly, then it means that Li Xinchen has no ties to Nan Chen; If Li Xinchen is still hesitating or prescribing the rest of the conditions, Chen Ji can also weigh Li Xinchen's attitude; And if Li Xinchen finally agrees, Chen Ji may have to be happy.
As for this heavy task, it naturally fell on Xu Shanxin's shoulders, and at this time, Zhou Qu and Xiao Maha even had some pity for Xu Shanxin. They didn't dare to imagine what kind of reaction Li Xinchen would have if they really talked to Li Xinchen about this issue.
Xiao Maha and Zhou Cheng had to admit that sometimes Chen Ji was too anxious, or Chen Ji also realized that there was not much time left for him, if he couldn't even properly grasp Li Xinchen's attitude now, it would really be too late.
Such a thorny problem, obviously Chen Ji did not believe that Chen Shubao could solve it.
Xiao Maha hesitated for a long time and said slowly: "Now that Bashu has just been calmed down, it is not very likely that Shizhong will get out, plus there were many misunderstandings between the imperial court and Shizhong before······ So it's possible that Shizhong will object to this. ”
Xu Shanxin suddenly scolded, if Li Xinchen agreed, then he felt strange.
And Zhou Qu also followed in a deep voice and said: "This issue must be carefully discussed with Li Shizhong, and if he objects, don't talk too aggressively, don't forget, Li Xinchen still has a lot of my Da Chen's generals under his command, as long as he doesn't blindly persecute Li Xinchen, Li Xinchen will not rashly turn his face." ”
"This junior understands." Xu Shanxin said hurriedly. And Zhou did look at Xiao Maha, as if asking, this should be about the same.
Xiao Maha's voice was a little low, he knew very well that when he said these words, he had put himself on the opposite side of Li Xinchen, at least he was calculating Li Xinchen, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, but the matter has come to this, Xiao Maha has no other choice, he is loyal to Nan Chen's courtiers after all, loyalty is sometimes more important than family affection:
"Xu Jun must remember that His Majesty's will must be conveyed clearly, as for the rest of His Majesty's meaning, you can do your best, Li Shizhong is not so easy to get along with, not to mention that he has now gained a firm foothold in Bashu, and returning to Jiankang Mansion is no less than throwing himself into a net, Your Majesty will definitely not let him go back again in peace, it is impossible for him to be unclear about this truth."
Xu Shanxin bowed slightly, Huo Ran stood up, and solemnly bowed his hand to Xiao Maha and Zhou Qu: "The younger generation is taught!" ”
And Xiao Maha seemed to be a little tired, so he didn't stand up in a hurry, but just nodded: "Chen Yu, send off guests." ”
Seeing Xu Shanxin leave, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but sigh softly, just more than half a year ago, they would never have thought that one day they would sit here and discuss how to deal with Li Xinchen.
But the heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable, Zhou does not know what Li Xinchen is thinking, but he knows very well that what Li Xinchen is thinking about must be more than just a Bashu, and a little Bashu king will definitely not be able to satisfy Li Xinchen's appetite.
So it's not a bad thing to bring some trouble to Li Xinchen in advance.
