All the Liaodong ministers, you say a word to me, although the tone is very tactful, but the meaning is very clear.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Pojun led the Liaodong Army to win one victory after another, and his personal prestige was getting higher and higher, it is estimated that the two old men, Mao Bo and Li Benlei, would have directly refuted him for doing things without thinking, and he would be hot-headed and unable to see the situation clearly as soon as he achieved some successes.

Fang Xuanling and the others carefully admonished, but they also felt disappointed in their hearts. In the past, Chen Pojun gave them the feeling that he was a young but very wise and honest person. In the past major strategies of the Liaodong Army, Chen Pojun rarely had a one-man arbitrary approach, and many times he took the initiative to ask his subordinates about the martial arts, humbly listened to the opinions of his subordinates, and finally chose the best strategy.

At this time, they looked at this handsome man with a smile on his face and a short green beard under his chin, and couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, could it be that the marshal lost his own essence and became proud under the successive victories of the Liaodong Army?

The strange scribe who first asked Chen Pojun was full of disappointment at this time, and his face was unreservedly revealed. He frowned and shook his head slightly, his heart full of disappointment. At this time, he looked at Chen Pojun's smile again, but he already felt that it was a self-serving, proud and complacent master, but he couldn't listen to the admonitions of his subordinates. In his opinion, such a person even the current emperor Yang Guang did not come, at least Yang Guang had always behaved commendably before he ascended the throne. Even after Yang Guang became emperor, he was very diligent and enlightened in the first few years. He didn't dare to imagine how far Chen Pojun could go with his current mentality.

Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh, and said in his heart that he was still looking forward to it when he saw his friend Fang Qiao's letter, and he came to Liaodong all the way, but he didn't expect it to be such a result.

I was extremely lonely for a while, and I couldn't care about the rudeness, turned around and arched my hand to Fang Xuanling, "Brother Xuanling, it's better to be famous than to meet, it's a pity and a pity to finally see the world-famous Chen Dashuai." These days, there have been many disturbances, and today I will pack up my things and go back to the Central Plains. ”

Fang Xuanling was surprised: "Brother Keming, what do you mean by this?" Didn't we say that we would work together to assist the handsome and create an ideal prosperous era? Why do you want to leave when you just saw Dashuai? ”

Chen Kefu was also attracted by the actions of this strange scribe, he had never seen such a hard temper, and he was about to leave if he didn't say a word.

"I don't know yet, this gentleman's name is as secretive as Rakfu, and if there is a faux pas, please include more." Chen Kefu saw that he was extraordinary in his year, and he heard that he was a friend of Fang Xuanling, so he should be a good literati. Now that Liaodong is victorious in martial arts, he is still a little weak in terms of cultural governance, and he naturally has good etiquette for these scribes who come to Liaodong.

The middle-aged scribe twisted his head and rolled his eyes, and said with anger in his words: "The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other, don't say anything about it." ”

Chen Kefu chuckled lightly, and didn't care, he could feel that this man was still very good to him when they met him just now. All the changes began to change after the question of his enthronement was asked. Just now his heart turned, and he had roughly guessed what the man was thinking at this time. The first time they met, they were able to express their attitude so directly, and did not keep their thoughts in their hearts, Chen Kefu had a very good impression of such a virtuous scribe, "Then I will also call Brother Tai a sentence Brother Keming, if this Shuai guesses well, Brother Keming is only afraid that I Chen Kefu is just a person who does not live up to his name?" Do you think that I am only a small success now, but I am already arrogant, there is no one in my eyes, and I can't listen to the advice of the contrary? Do you think that someone like me is not worthy of your assistance, and after being disappointed, you plan to leave? ”

The scribe didn't expect Chen Kefu to say such a thing, and some surprise flashed in his eyes. He really thought that Chen Kefu was nothing more than that, and he was completely in vain.

But when he heard that Chen Kefu himself suddenly said what he was thinking just now, he felt that the person who could say such things could be what he was thinking in his heart?

Fang Xuanling over there was a little anxious and said, "Dashuai, this is not the case. ”

However, although Fang Xuanling said that this was not the case, the surprise on their faces at this time undoubtedly expressed the thoughts they had just had in their hearts. Chen Kefu smiled slightly, and didn't say much. …,

Stretched out his hand and shook his finger, "I know what you think, you think so, in fact, I am very happy in my heart." This shows that you are all awake and have not been momentarily blinded by the victories we have achieved so far. I am very happy that you still have a clear grasp of the situation in front of you in the excellent situation of the Liaodong Army. ”

"Great.

Fang Xuanling and the other ministers were really confused at this time, and they didn't understand what Chen Kefu meant in his heart at all.

Haha laughed a few times.

Chen Kefu said, "Actually, Ben Shuai and you have the same idea, but I didn't explain things clearly before, so I made you misunderstand, and I don't blame you for this." I was not wrong when I said that I would ascend the throne on the first day of the eighth month. However, it is not me who ascended the throne on the first day of August! ”

"What?" Mao Xi and the others exclaimed in unison.

Mao Xishen moved, and said with a smile on his face, "Dashuai, have you rescued the Lord from Jiankang and are about to come to Hebei?" When he ascended the throne in August, did he welcome the Lord to the throne? In his mind, if it weren't for Chen Pojun's ascension to the throne, then the only possibility was that the Secret Service Division had rescued Chen Shen from Jiankang and was ready to proclaim himself emperor in Hebei. In this way, although it is not Chen Kefu to be the emperor, but in fact, this is a better plan.

Shaking his head slightly, Chen Kefu denied Mao Xi's speculation.

"No, I also want to pick up my father and take him back to Hebei. However, now that my father is completely under the control of the Shen family of the Jiangnan Society, our people have been exploring for a long time and found that the Shen family has already been heavily guarded. Without a large army, only a small group of men could not pick up my father at all. ”

Hearing that Chen Kefu vetoed his speculation, Mao Xi suddenly became disappointed again.

A group of people raised their eyes to look at Chen Kefu, and they were extremely suspicious, neither ready to ascend the throne themselves, but also unable to take Chen Shen back to the throne for the time being. So who will be enthroned in ten days?

Gao Shilian, who was close to Huājia, hesitated and asked, "I heard that General Zhang Feng took advantage of the chaos when he was in Hedong before, and Empress Xiao ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has captured Liaodong, is it? One one? …，

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him in unison.

Chen Kefu couldn't help but admire Gao Shilian very much, he could actually guess this through such a secret piece of news, and he really had the ability. "You must also know that Yang Guang was once hit by a stray arrow in Yanmen and hurt his heart. During the siege of the city, he suffered several attacks, and when the siege of Yanmen was lifted, and even more so when he was about to conquer the grassland, he suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, and according to our information, he has not woken up yet. After a pause, Chen Pojun continued, "According to the news from the brothers of our secret service department, in Taiyuan City, the ministers and commanders of all parties are gathering in a city, and they are fighting for the position of the heir to the throne of the Sui Dynasty. Now Yang Guang is unconscious, and there is even a ninety percent chance that he will never wake up from now. And Yang Guang only had the eldest son of the third son, Yang Zhao, the prince of Yuande, died early, and now the third son, the prince Yang Gao, is in our hands, and no one knows. Only the second son Yang Lai is left, but he has no virtue and is difficult to capture the expectations of the public. In addition to Yang Lai, the most likely successors to the throne are the eldest son of the late Yuande Prince Yang Zhao, Yan Wang Yang Tan, and the second son Yue Wang Yang Tong, and the third son, Yang Yu. "According to the current situation, Yang Lai is the most likely to win the continuation of the people. Once he seizes the throne, then with his power, he will be able to quickly deter all the forces of the Sui Dynasty, and then they will be able to quickly mobilize troops and horses to march eastward, which is the last thing we want to see. ”

Chen Kefu said this, and at this time, everyone basically understood his thoughts. At present, although the Liaodong Army has been out of the customs, captured the six counties of Hebei, and controlled the four regions of Taihang Mountain, Hebei, it has a huge advantage. But at this time, only some strategic advantages were obtained, and if Chen Pojun ascended the throne and became emperor at this time, it would indeed be out of place in any aspect.

But in the face of the chaotic struggle for the throne in the imperial court, if they suddenly bring out the missing crown prince Yang Gao to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, then Yang Oh, the now dominant Liao king, will inevitably be muddied by this attack by the Liaodong Army. As long as the water is muddy, Yang Lai will not be able to inherit the throne smoothly and unify the Sui Dynasty and Fang forces. Then it can be seen that Yang Sheng will definitely not be able to suppress the extremely powerful forces of the imperial court. At that time, the Sui Dynasty, which has already muddied the waters, may break out more disputes.

And if the Sui Dynasty can't integrate one day, they won't be able to go all out to the east one day. At that time, half of the rivers and mountains such as Hebei, Henan, and Shandong will continue to be the same as the current situation. The Liaodong Army also happened to continue to complete their next strategic deployment, expanding the opportunity in front of them to the maximum before the Sui Dynasty turned around. …,

"But although Yang Guang is unconscious, he is still not dead after all, although Yang Gao is the crown prince at this time, he is only afraid that his name will not be right when he suddenly ascends the throne, right?" The scribe who had been shouting to leave asked again.

Chen Kefu smiled slightly: "I don't know, Brother Keming, can you tell me the honorable name now?" The scribe bowed, and said in a gentle tone, "The student Du Ruhui Zi Keming, a native of Jingzhao Duling, is a friend of Brother Fang, and was invited to Liaodong after introduction. There were many misunderstandings about the handsome before, please forgive me. Hearing that the scribe in front of him was actually Du Ruhui, who was known as Du Ruhui in Fang Mou Du Duan, Rao is now Chen Kefu was not too surprised by the celebrities in his original history, and his heart moved slightly at this time. Du Ruhui was a famous minister in the early Tang Dynasty, and it was a great thing for such a person to join the Liaodong Army.

Looking at Du Ruhui in front of him, he was only in his thirties, and he looked very elegant and noble in a white Confucian robe. But Chen Kefu knows that this Du Ruhui is not simple, although he and Fang Xuanling are of the same age, they are also friends, and they are ministers in the same palace in history, and they are famous ministers in the early Tang Dynasty together, known as Fang Mou Du Xuan. But unlike Fang Xuanling's scholarly family, Du Ruhui was born in the Guanlong aristocratic group. His ancestors were all prominent officials in the Northern Zhou and Sui Dynasty, and they were authentic Guanlong nobles.

When Du Ruhui was young, he was already very talented, and he was favored by the officials of the current dynasty, and he was the official of the county lieutenant at a young age. But at that time, the world had begun to be chaotic, Du Ruhui looked at the chaos in the place, and felt that the county lieutenant was too small, so he simply resigned from his official position and concentrated on studying and making friends. Last year, Chen Pojun met Fang Xuanling in Luoyang, and that time Fang Xuanling went to meet his friend Du Ruhui.

At that time, Fang Xuanling originally planned to win over Du Ruhui for Chen Pojun, but he didn't expect an accident later. Later, after returning to Liaodong, Fang Xuanling wrote to Du Ruhui several times, summoning him to come to Liaodong.

After a period of consideration, Du Ruhui finally lost hope in the Sui Dynasty and resolutely came to Liaodong.

With the help of such talents, Chen Kefu laughed a few times, "Xuanling is good at planning, and I heard that Brother Keming is good at decisiveness, so it is Fang Mou to make decisions." The two of them worked together, and our Liaodong Army was even more powerful. With such a talent, how can Ben Shuai not be reused, Ben Shuai will temporarily appoint Ke Ming as the secretary of Lou Bu in Xingtai Shangshu Province, and wait for another important task in a few days, how about it? ”

Although Du Ruhui was also very conceited in his heart, after arriving in Liaodong, he also met Fang Xuanling, Mao Xi, eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian and a group of very outstanding government officials. Now he has gradually put away the conceit in his heart, and is willing to be a subordinate official under Xuanling, the right servant of Xingtai Shangshu. Now that he had just met Chen Pojun, he didn't expect that Chen Pojun would suddenly appoint him as the secretary of the ministry, and he was also surprised for a while. At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, he only got the position of a nine-rank county lieutenant.

At that moment, Jī moved solemnly and saluted, "How can the subordinates be so virtuous, they are so valued by the marshal, and they are actually entrusted with this important task, and the subordinates are deeply afraid and uneasy, and please take back your life." ”

Chen Kefu laughed a few times, "This handsome employs people, but he has always been praised by others, and everyone says that he uses people properly." Today, it is not child's play for this marshal to appoint you as the secretary of the ministry, I believe in your ability, and I also believe that you will show your ability with actions. Hearing Chen Kefu say this, Du Ruhui no longer shirked. However, he continued the previous question, "Dashuai, now that Yang Guang is still alive, how will the prince ascend the throne?" "It's easy!" Chen Kefu said lightly, "Yang Guang is not dead, we can respect him as the emperor, anyway, it is also a good reason for him to be unconscious." What's more, letting Yang Gao ascend the throne and be the emperor is just a plan for us to muddy the water in the Central Plains. Yang Gao is just our chess piece, just play a role, why care too much"!
