Many things that happened in Chang'an City were related to Shen Leng, and at this time, Shen Leng was already on the road with a look of nothing to do with people, waiting for the second and waiting for the second, and the third product was the third product, which did not have much impact on Shen Leng.

A Fubo warship went all the way east along the Nanping River, Shen Leng leaned on the side of the ship and looked at the verdant on both sides of the river, and his mood was inexplicably good, and suddenly he had some understanding, he didn't adapt to that officialdom from beginning to end, he had enough brains and enough courage, but he didn't think that calculating was a great thing to achieve, even if he was calm down and ready to calculate some things, there were not many people who could not be calculated by him.

Chen Ran is different.

Chen Ran felt aggrieved, very aggrieved.

After so many days, Chen Ran has never figured it out, nothing more than three words: why?

Is Shen Leng's contribution in Western Xinjiang still small? Why did the emperor suddenly change his appearance? To say that Shen Leng chased Xiao Zhang Zhenren to the Western Xinjiang at the beginning, this is not right, if he is punished, he will be punished, he will be demoted, and he will be demoted, but later Shen Leng was allowed by the emperor in Western Xinjiang, which made Chen Ran unable to figure it out, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved.

It's just that he feels that Shen Leng doesn't seem to care, he cares too much, and he doesn't want to mention these to annoy Leng Zi.

"Don't think about it."

Shen Leng glanced at him: "Do you think I'm stupid?" ”

He asked.

Chen Ran shook his head: "Of course you're not stupid." ”

Shen Leng snorted: "You also know that I'm not stupid, so tell me, where is my smartness?" ”

Chen Ran: "That's hard to say. ”

Shen Leng: "Your uncle ......"

He looked at Chen Ran: "Actually, it's simple, it's always remember one thing, how did all this come about." ”

Chen Ran: "We fought it." ”

Shen Leng sighed: "How many people fight like us, but they don't get anything." ”

Chen Ran was in a trance: "What do you mean?" ”

"Now all this is what we have worked for, but it was also given by His Majesty, and then put aside all the things on the battlefield, just say that I should be punished by His Majesty when I go to Western Xinjiang?"

"Yes."

Shen Leng nodded: "Then it's over." ”

Chen Ran: "But something is wrong. ”

Shen sneered: "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Ran sorted out his thoughts: "When I came back from the war in Western Xinjiang this time, there were three things I couldn't understand, first...... Your Majesty punished you suddenly, but I always feel that Your Majesty's punishment of you has little to do with you, and I can't figure out why. ”

He glanced at Shen Leng: "Second, after the second prince went to the western Xinjiang, everything seems to have changed, he said that he asked you to help recommend important candidates for the East Palace in the future, and before you could help, Your Majesty punished you, the second prince means that Your Majesty asked him to ask you, in this case, why should Your Majesty rush to drive you out of Chang'an?" ”

"Third, it has nothing to do with you and your majesty and the second prince, it's Galocliu, he is too calm, he can't just send hundreds of thousands of elites to death in vain and then be happy to come to Daning as a prisoner, right? In other words, if he has a plan, is the price he paid too much? No fool would do that. ”

Shen Leng stretched out his hand: "One question is five taels of silver." ”

Chen Ran: "Don't ask. ”

Shen Leng: "Look, it's not important what you can't think of, and there are no five taels of silver in your heart." ”

Chen Ran glanced at him, took out a silver ticket and slapped it in Shen Leng's hand: "Fifty taels, the rest will be used for you to buy medicine." ”

"What medicine to buy?"

"I'm going to Dongjiang, I'm afraid you'll be weak, buy deer fetal pills."

Shen Leng: "Get out of ......"

He put the silver ticket away

Flattered.

"First, Your Majesty suddenly punished me, and your second question, Your Majesty asked the second prince to consult me, which can be boiled down to one problem."

Chen Ran frowned: "It's obviously two things, why is it a problem?" If it's a question, why are you charging me for two questions? ”

Shen sneered: "If you want to hear about it, you have to add money." ”

Chen Ran: "Your ugly face. ”

Shen Leng stretched out his hand: "To add or not?" ”

Chen Ran took out another silver ticket and slapped it on Shen Leng's hand: "Say!" ”

Shen Leng put away the silver ticket and said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't want the future Prince's East Palace to be the same as the former Crown Prince Li Changze's East Palace, Your Majesty wants me to help pick people, do you think it's easier to pick out some useful people or to pick out some people with hidden dangers?" ”

Chen Ran: "Of course the former is easy. ”

Shen Leng: "So my choice for His Royal Highness the Second Prince is to pick the latter...... I haven't figured out one thing yet, why Your Majesty is in a hurry to do it, and when you still have time to slowly try it, you suddenly use me to lure people out. ”

His face darkened slightly, but he quickly recovered.

"Maybe it's my crankiness."

Shen Leng shook his head: "Your Majesty is anxious, but it is useless for Your Majesty to be anxious, you have to make those hidden dangers more anxious than Your Majesty, so Your Majesty's anxiety is to make a appearance, he makes a anxious appearance, then those hidden dangers can only be more anxious, Your Majesty is going to Taishan, only a few months away, those people will come out immediately, originally the second prince must be the crown prince This matter is known to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, but the second prince is only fourteen years old, and they can't see how anxious Your Majesty is, so they will be patient little by little." ”

"Your Majesty suddenly increased his speed, and he was even more anxious to suppress me, smart people will think that His Majesty is worried that my power is too powerful and threatens the prince in the future, after all, even I feel that my current position is indeed very complicated, Meng Changan, Tang Baobao, Wu Xinyu, Shi Podang, Han Zhaozhi, Ye Liuyun, the old dean......"

Shen Leng sighed: "If I have any ideas, I must have a greater influence on the imperial court than Mu Zhaotong." ”

Chen Ran froze for a moment when he heard this, and then his back felt a chill.

That's not something to brag about, it's dangerous.

Shen Leng said: "Your Majesty knows that I am not Mu Zhaotong, Your Majesty believes me, but Your Majesty also needs an opportunity to really press me, and if you don't press me, the court will lose its balance, the court and even the world, there is only one person who can influence everyone with the power of one person, that is Your Majesty, except for Your Majesty, no one can do it, no one can do it, why don't people with the status of the old dean join the cabinet?" Is it true that the old dean's talent is not enough to be competent in the affairs of the cabinet? It's not, because the old dean knows that he can't be too important, it's enough to be his old dean all the time, why does the general seem a little idle when he marches north, all the military exploits are from the army of General Wu Xinyu, and it seems that there is no point in the forbidden army going north, that is because the general of the Tai Tai knows that some merits cannot be fought for or grabbed, and it is enough for him to be the general of the forbidden army. ”

"The old dean is enough, the general of the forbidden army is enough, this is a degree, if it exceeds this degree, there will be problems, Your Majesty does not doubt it, but there will be no change in those civil and military officials in the court? If the old dean is not the old dean but the first assistant of the cabinet, he is not favoritism, he is not greedy for ink, but people will rush to him like a tide, this is the heart of the people. ”

Shen Leng pointed at himself: "I have passed that degree, this degree was given by His Majesty, so His Majesty has to adjust it, Your Majesty believes in me, but does not believe in others, I can continue as always, but what about others?" Seeing that I am in power, how many people will post it? ”

Chen Ran snorted, but he felt that people's hearts were too complicated.

Shen Leng continued: "So Your Majesty wants to suppress me, half of it is to take this opportunity to force those hidden dangers to reveal its flaws as soon as possible, and half of it is because he really wants to suppress me. ”

He shrugged his shoulders: "And what am I most happy about?" It just so happened that His Majesty suppressed me, I am not so complicated, and my heart is relaxed, and I use the strength of being suppressed to keep those who want to stick to me away from me, how pure. ”

Chen Ran shook his head: "I'll be crazy if I change it, I can't think of so much." ”

Shen Leng: "I have to think about it, because ......"

Shen Leng didn't say the words later, and smiled: "I can't figure it out when I say the third one, Galokliu." ”

Shen Leng looked at Chen Ran and said, "You have already talked about the essence just now, Galok looks calm, as if he deliberately came to Daning to be a prisoner, is it possible?" He is not an idiot, the loss of hundreds of thousands of elites is a fatal blow to Anxi, if it weren't for the fact that the distance was too far, Daning's expeditionary force would be able to take the opportunity to destroy Anxie in one go, would Garoclius gamble like this? Gambling on the destruction of the country, just to come to Daning as a prisoner, not to mention what the purpose of his desire to come to Daning as a prisoner is, the country will be destroyed, and there is no point in what purpose. ”

Chen Ran asked, "Then why?" ”

"He is calm, because he is prepared, as if he has fallen into a pit, ordinary people will be afraid and will shout, and he will calmly think about how to climb out, he came this time to know that our Daning cannot be defeated, if the strength of the army is comparable, then our firearms have completely shattered the confidence of Galoklei, and the confidence of hundreds of thousands of resting troops, the blow of firearms is not only on the battlefield but also in their hearts, at that time Galocle knew that he could not win."

"But he made preparations for withdrawal, not one, at least two, first, the fleet he arranged was waiting for him on the coast, he was confident that he would take the opportunity to leave the battlefield and cross the sea after sacrificing the left and right guards, he just didn't expect that our Daning's sailors were already strong to that point, and he didn't expect the fleet he left behind to be easily defeated by General Zhuang Yong."

"It was the first preparation he made...... Don't forget, he's a hero. ”

Shen Leng said: "So he will definitely make the second preparation, he can't stop the defeat, so he has to prepare more, if I were him, I would definitely think, what if I am caught?" As long as there is a chance, Daning's army will definitely capture him alive instead of killing him, this is the premise, so on the coast, he took the initiative to walk in front of General Zhuang Yong alone, he was helping the general capture him alive, and the most important thing was to live. ”

Chen Ran frowned: "Could it be that he can still escape?" ”

"Not necessarily, but never give up."

Shen Leng said: "If I were him, I would definitely arrange a team to hide, the battle was too chaotic, no one would care about a team of thousands of people moving away and hiding, I didn't notice Tang Baobao and didn't notice, but I thought there would definitely be such a team, as for where it was hidden, I couldn't be sure." ”

"Since he thought that he might become a prisoner, he probably thought about what would happen after becoming a prisoner, he guessed that he would definitely be sent to Chang'an, since he had been arrested, why didn't he see our majesty?"

Shen Leng breathed a sigh of relief, and when he said this, he suddenly thought of something again.

"But who can he use if he wants to leave? Anxi and Daning are so far apart, it is impossible for him to plant a secret spy in advance to enter Chang'an just to wait to save him, without his people, he wants to escape......"

He looked at Chen Ran: "Black warrior? ”

Chen Ran suddenly thought of a sentence: "The enemy of the enemy? ”

......
