On the street outside Miyagi, there is a tea shop.

The flow of convoys of people coming and going makes the whole street seem lively, after all, this road leading to Miyagi is the royal street of the South Chen Capital, and it is also the main road of the entire Jiankang Mansion, and the good shops and restaurants in the city are basically concentrated around this royal street, even if it is almost evening, it is still difficult to hide the hustle and bustle.

"Why haven't you come out yet, I'm really dying!" Xiao Shilian held the teacup and took a sip without a sip. To get out of the palace, whether it is to go to Wuyi Lane Wu Mansion or to Confucius Temple Houxiao Mansion, you have to pass through here, but he and Li Xinchen have been sitting here for half an hour, why haven't they seen the shadow of the two carriages at all?

"Boqing, don't worry, it'll be fine." Li Xinchen tasted tea leisurely, in fact, this is only the most common big bowl of tea on the roadside, and this is just a tea shop that shelters from the wind and rain, obviously not for the enjoyment of dignitaries and nobles, but for those porters and coachmen to quench their thirst.

However, compared with the teahouses in the alleys on both sides of the surrounding area, after all, the field of vision is broader, and they are all people who have fought on the battlefield, whether it is Li Xinchen or Xiao Shilian, they are not so particular.

Xiao Shilian snorted, looking like he didn't dare to be your father.

Putting down the tea bowl, Li Xinchen said in a deep voice: "The Metropolitan Governor and Pei Shangshu are here, even if the general is really because of his straightforward personality, he may speak disrespectfully, and the two adults will not watch him be punished, not to mention that Ling Zun has always been cautious in the officialdom, and he will definitely figure it out, and it is estimated that His Majesty is in a hurry to ask for a plan, so it took a long time." ”

Xiao Shilian smiled bitterly: "I hope so." ”

Li Xinchen squinted his eyes and subconsciously looked in the direction of the imperial city.

It is also reasonable to report unsuccessfully, compared to the rest of the people, in fact, Li Xinchen pondered Chen Ji's character more thoroughly, after all, he has historical common sense and knows some of the decisions Chen Ji made in the future, and more importantly, Li Xinchen is looking at Chen Ji from the perspective of a traveler, and the rest of the people are looking at Chen Ji from the perspective of a monarch and minister.

It is taboo to speculate on the intention of the company privately at any time, even if it is Wu Mingche, he usually talks about problems from his own point of view, and rarely considers the problem from Chen Ji's point of view.

In short, everyone is standing in their own direction, but Li Xinchen is standing in Chen Ji's direction. Many things that may be taken for granted by front-line generals such as Wu Mingche and Xiao Maha may not necessarily be taken for granted when they come to Chen Ji.

There are different opinions on the evaluation of Chen Ji in history, and in Li Xinchen's own opinion, Chen Ji should be a king between the eloquent and the ambitious, he is not used to being drunk and dreaming of death, and he is not used to seeing a corner of peace, and wants to make meritorious contributions, wants to recover the northern homeland, and completes the grand wish of the Southern Dynasty to dominate the world for 300 years.

However, to a certain extent, Chen Ji always failed to see the reality, and this kind of thinking of quick success made him too eager for a real and complete victory, but God did not always favor him, and the Northern Expedition could not all be as smooth as Southern Chen's attack on Huainan.

The cause of the Battle of Lüliang was that Chen Ji underestimated the strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty and constantly urged Wu Mingche to move his troops.

But if you simply say that Chen Ji is a monarch with great ambitions and talents, it seems to be a little derogatory to him, after all, Chen Ji developed the domestic economy, paid attention to the defense of Jingzhou and Jiangnan, and at the same time reused virtuous ministers, so that Nan Chen could still develop and progress steadily under the strong pressure of the north, and he was able to do this, Chen Ji did have the ability.

It is precisely because of Chen Ji's dedicated management that although it is not easy for Nanchen to go north, it is not so easy for the Northern Dynasty to fight.

It's a pity that in history, the foundation that Chen Ji worked so hard to lay was ruined by Chen Shubao in the end. The defense line that had been built with great effort was also barren in Chen Shubao's carelessness, and finally the Sui Dynasty army easily crossed the river, and Chen Shubao even sneered at Xiao Maha's strategy of relying on the defense of the capital.

Such a son made Li Xinchen really doubt whether it was Chen Ji's own son.

Therefore, in Li Xinchen's heart, Chen Ji is a monarch who is good at keeping the country, but it is difficult to make progress, compared to those monarchs who have laid down the country but can't sit still, Chen Ji is just the opposite, he is a monarch who can sit down but can't beat more countries.

And I have to add that this is a monarch who is at least not very good at raising his sons.

No one is perfect, at least Nan Chen can be regarded as lucky to be such a monarch, no matter how good Chen Ji is, he is better than those madmen in Northern Qi, and compared with his son Chen Shubao, he is a typical tiger father and dog.

Looking at this lively Jiankang Mansion, who would have thought that in just over ten years in history, all this would be turned into skyrocketing fires and ashes?

"Shizhong, what are you thinking?" Xiao Shilian shook in front of Li Xinchen.

Li Xinchen sighed and came back to his senses: "It's nothing. ”

Xiao Shilian frowned: "You're really not worried at all?" ”

"You've asked this question four or five times since you went out," Li Xinchen sipped his tea slowly, "Do you remember what His Majesty said when the edict arrived in Zhongli?" ”

"It's useless to worry, it's better not to worry." Xiao Shilian snorted angrily.

"That's not it."

————————————————

"It's still a word in the end?!" Chen Ji repeated, his expression a little hideous, "Wait, wait, wait, I've been waiting for so many years, how long can I wait?!" ”

After a pause, Chen Ji walked straight to the map and patted the picture heavily: "You tell me, how long can you wait for this Da Chen?!" ”

Everyone in the entire imperial study was terrified, Wu Mingche and Xu Ling subconsciously glanced at each other, and were about to speak, and Pei Ji, who had been sitting silently in the back, also slowly supported half of his body at this time, and could stand up at any time.

However, before Wu Mingche and them could speak, Xiao Maha had already taken the lead in giving his hand: "Your Majesty, from the Jin Dynasty to the present, the entire Huaxia has been waiting for three hundred years. ”

"You still know?!" Chen Ji's face turned red, and he slammed his fist on the table, "It's been three hundred years, but you still want me to wait?!" ”

Xiao Maha Huoran raised his head and met Chen Ji's eyes that seemed to be breathing fire: "It is precisely because we have been waiting for three hundred years that we can still wait." ”

After a pause, Xiao Maha grabbed in front of Chen Ji and said solemnly: "What we are waiting for now is the slightest flaw, as long as we can find and wait for this flaw, we can retake Jiangling with a thunderous momentum!" If you continue to attack blindly and recklessly as you did nine years ago, you will only fail in the end! ”
