At the same time, this also shows that the contradiction between His Majesty and the Jiangnan Shi clan should really exist······ Otherwise, the children of the Jiangnan Shi clan should play a more important role in it.

Although he was in a foreign country, Chen Zhishen still heard some rumors in the capital. His Majesty's implementation of the academy and examination system obviously directly violated the interests of the Jiangnan family, and if it were not for the acquiescence of Gu Yewang and others, I am afraid that it would lead to a direct conflict.

As Li Xinchen's out-and-out trusted general, the Yuancong faction is second only to Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie, and it is impossible for Chen Zhishen to be indifferent to these rumors.

The Yuancong faction with Xiao, Pei, Chen Zhishen, and Cao Zhong as the core is the earliest group of people to follow Li Xinchen, and they are also the Optimus Pillars of the current Han Dynasty, and they are naturally ready to continue to go to the soup for His Majesty at any time.

After all, it is impossible to remove the label of Li Xinchen's left arm and right arm on their bodies, and their lives have been tightly tied to Li Xinchen.

So whoever dares to go against Li Xinchen is naturally against Chen Zhishen.

Chen Zhishen was originally born as Xiao Maha's groom, and he was an out-and-out Qianshou common man, and he came to this day step by step, also because of the promotion of Xiao Maha, Li Xinchen and others, so Chen Zhishen himself did not have any good impression of those so-called families, but was very disgusted, and now they still have the courage to jump out and go against Li Xinchen, so Chen Zhishen will naturally not be polite to them.

Chen Zhishen's gaze became cold, which naturally made many young people who had not seen much sword light and blood shadow tremble, they may not know that this was the gaze condensed by a long period of fighting, but they could feel the killing intent that permeated it.

And Yang Su, Wu Ping and the others also frowned slightly.

They don't want to be Chen Zhishen's enemies.

Now it seems that the three factions of Jiangnan, North and Bashu are fighting for power and profit in the court, but in fact, those who really see the situation clearly understand that the biggest force in the court should actually be the Yuancong faction, they monopolize the army and the daunting light and dark spy organizations such as the white robe and the Yulin Cavalry, and their loyalty to Li Xinchen is 100%. Although their number is small, it is their existence that maintains the balance of the imperial court, and it is also the real capital that Li Xinchen has always been able to override any family.

In fact, from the original Eastern Wu, the Jiangnan family began to appear on the stage of history, although the rulers of this group have been rotated, but their means of controlling the court and even the emperor are the same. Powerful figures, such as Sun Quan, the Emperor of Eastern Wu and Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty, may be able to find checks and balances to maintain their prestige and power, but this check and balance is ultimately a compromise between the royal family and the family, and the emperor cannot exist independently of the family after all.

But now Li Xinchen is different, he has an army in hand, which is the power that allows him to fight the world, and at the same time, he began to cultivate talents who are loyal to himself and loyal to the Han Dynasty through the gradually spreading academy, rather than the governance of any family, and finally he can completely get rid of the influence of the family on the imperial power, the family becomes a nobleman, and the emperor will become a real emperor after completely controlling the promotion and change of talents.

Li Xinchen has come to this point, and this is already an irreversible situation, just like the general trend of the world.

There are some people who see this situation clearly, so no matter what kind of thoughts they have, they can only go downstream, so Gu Yewang and they know that following Li Xinchen may really throw things like "family" into the waste paper heap, but they have no choice.

Naturally, there are some people who want to die even if they see this situation clearly, but Li Xinchen has already made the most impatient part of it become the head of the main hall that is still bleeding, and the remaining part should not dare to act rashly now.

Whether it is Yang Su, Wu Ping and Tang Zhongren, they naturally have to work hard to be the first kind of person. And Chen Zhishen, who is Li Xinchen's confidant, is the object they must not offend.

Although Li Xinchen's real left arm and right arm are not many, they can fight one after another.

As for the veteran Jiang Yuanxun who stood on the other side, he was not very interested in this. He can also be regarded as a veteran of the Southern Dynasty, when Chen Zhishen was still a horseman, Jiang Yuanxun was in charge of the capital guards.

Although he has no actual combat experience, his qualifications are sufficient, and when Li Xinchen went to Jiankang Mansion to face the saint, he had a "secret communication" with Li Xinchen, and he was also a person from Long Zao, and he was not interested in Chen Zhishen. In fact, people who have already reached his status, it is naturally better to be able to take a step forward, even if it is not up, it is like that.

"With Aiqing here, I am in the middle of the pass, just around the corner." Li Xinchen was in a good mood, "Yang Qing's family, let's talk about what your Taiwei Mansion plans to do next." ”

"Your Majesty, General Zhengdong," Yang Su cleverly added the title of Chen Zhishen after Li Xinchen's title, "In Weichen's opinion, the next battle of Guanzhong is not just a battle. There will be two very important stages in this, one is to finally take Chang'an, and the other is to compete with Yu Wenxian for the vast area east of Chang'an and even all the way to Luoyang, and completely bring the Central Plains in the traditional sense into our control. ”

"But once there is a war with Yu Wenxian, will it mean a full-scale war?" Li Xinchen then asked.

It is true that the current Han Dynasty does not have the capital to start a full-scale war, and it is difficult for the whole country to recover from the continuous conquests, and if the entire vast area from Lianghuai to the northwest is involved in the flames of war, Li Xinchen will probably have to be branded as a "reckless soldier."

You must know that after Yang Jian unified the north in history, he also rested for a few years before starting to go south, although the Sui Dynasty and even the Northern Zhou Dynasty at that time already had the strength to destroy Nan Chen, but Yang Jian obviously wanted to make this war of annihilation more smooth and complete in one go, and at the same time, it also gave the war-torn north a few years of opportunity to recuperate.

And in this era, since the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, the war has not stopped for a day, and it is time to take a break.

"The Taiwei Mansion does not think that Yu Wenxian will start a full-scale war with us, because the situation in Hebei and Shandong should not be much better than ours, especially since these places once belonged to the Northern Qi Dynasty, and there is resistance to the destroyer of the country like Yu Wenxian, and for a long time, Yu Wenxian has not had enough time to win people's hearts, but has continued to recruit troops and horses, for him, he should find a way to avoid a full-scale war with us in order to recuperate," Yang Su said decisively.
