Chapter 134 Gossip and Trust

For Chen An, taking over is impossible.

Stay where you are, and you will face endless trouble, no matter what you choose.

If you take risks, you may encounter risks, and you may fail.

If you don’t attack, you will definitely be feared at that time.

If it reaches this level, even the group of people who were watching, might think that Chen An is going to rebel.

What’s more important is Cheng Zheng’s attitude.

Cheng Zheng’s friendship with Chen An is beyond doubt.

This is crap.

As for what Chen An did before, if Cheng Zheng didn’t trust Chen An enough, he would have taken him down long ago.

But before was before and now is now.

In the face of such a situation, no matter how much trust, it should be shaken now.

The human heart can’t stand the test.

So it’s best not to go to the test.

A step back is a great place to face so much trouble.

So Chen An ran away decisively.

He ran away alone, leaving only the entire camp to Liu Chu, which made him cry inwardly.

But no way.

Faced with such an irresponsible coach, the only thing he can do at the moment is to continue guarding in the name of Chen An as Chen An said before.

How could it be otherwise?

Are you attacking without authorization?

Without the head coach, what kind of attack method is there?

Without the help of Chen An, the commander in chief, the armies everywhere would not be able to be mobilized precisely.

Even Liu Chu doesn’t have this ability, so he can only try his best to maintain the status quo.

Liu Chu was complaining in his heart here.

And what will happen in Shengjing?

In Shengjing Imperial Palace.

“Your Majesty, Duke Song and the others brought people over to petition again.”

In the spacious great hall, Cheng Zhengduan sat by himself and handled the memorial.

The waiter on the side looked helpless and came over to ask for instructions.

“Didn’t I tell you, don’t come to disturb me with news of these people?”

Cheng Zheng raised his head with dissatisfaction on his face.

“Damn this old slave.”

The servant hurriedly knelt down: “It’s just that Duke Song and the others were so violent this time that even all the officials came together, this old servant. Afraid of delaying Your Majesty major event, so.”

“Next time there is similar news, you don’t need to mention it again.”

Cheng Zheng said coldly: “I’m bothered to hear it.”

“If there is another time, you can take the position of general manager.”

“Yes, yes.”

Can’t wait in the house Nodding, he said with sincerity and sincerity, “Old slave will not dare any more.”

“Go away.”

Cheng Zheng’s icy voice fell everywhere.

The waiter was sighed in relief and left quickly.

After staying in the great hall for a long time, Cheng Zheng was relaxed and returned to his residence after finishing the business in front of him.

“Your Majesty, you’ve lost weight again.”

Looking at Cheng Zheng, a woman quickly greeted her.

The woman is in her early thirties, looks dignified and beautiful, and has an elegant and poised extravagance in her body.

This is Empress Hua, the wife of Cheng Zheng, and the empress of the current Great Hua.

“It’s not those ministers yet.”

Cheng Zheng sighed and couldn’t help but say: “In this period of time, their pressure is getting tighter and tighter, so that I even have one I can’t sleep even after a good night’s sleep.”

In front of his queen, he seemed to put down his disguise and expressed his helplessness.

“Or for Duke Chen?”

Queen Hua asked.

Cheng Zheng did not speak, silently nodded.

“If it’s just for Duke Chen, Your Majesty, you can meet the ministers and explain the situation to them, so why is this necessary.”

Queen Hua was a little puzzled: “Blockade The palace gate, forbidding ministers to see them is not a solution after all.”

“You don’t understand.”

Cheng Zheng smiled bitterly: “It’s not that I don’t want to meet them, It’s not that I don’t want to listen to the minister’s opinion, but I’m afraid that I can’t hold it.”

Seeing that Queen Hua still had a puzzled look on her face, Cheng Zheng continued to speak and explained: “repeated rumor becomes A fact, you must not understand the truth.”

“Chang’an, I can still stand it now, and I will never do anything more.”

“But if Open the palace gate and let the ministers visit and explain, I am afraid this will not be the case.”

Cheng Zheng looked helpless: “repeated rumor becomes a fact, rumor kills, since ancient times how many kings have been defeated by this matter. Go on.”

“That’s all done by the sage, Your Majesty won’t do it.”

Queen Hua laughed, comforting: “You are my husband, yours Temper, can I still not understand.”

Cheng is who?

To put it bluntly, this is a person who does not leave any room for action and is determined to make people feel terrifying.

A man like him, once convinced of a thing, will carry it out without the slightest hesitation, and never hesitate.

“To be honest, I thought the same thing at first, so I let go of the ceremonies and let the ministers talk about it.”

Cheng Zheng had a wry smile on his face, and he was helpless Struggling with: “But I was wrong.”

“In the beginning, I firmly believed in my own judgment. No matter what the ministers said, I believed that Changan would never fail me.”

“But they say it day and night. In every way, everyone around me is saying it.”

“It’s only half a month, and I have a little bit in my heart. Shaking.”

He pointed to his chest, his face couldn’t help showing the color of pain from the heart: “I couldn’t help thinking about what would happen if Chang’an rebelled, What the situation will be like.”

“Then I understand that I can’t stop it after all, and I can’t be affected by those words.”

While speaking, He stood up and sighed deeply: “Doubt this kind of thing, once it starts, it can’t be stopped. Today I just can’t help thinking about the consequences, tomorrow I will doubt it, and the day after tomorrow I will send someone to order.”

“If this continues, I am afraid that sooner or later I will change my mind and doubt Chang’an.”

Cheng Zheng believes more than anyone that Chen An will never rebel.

He is also quite confident, and feels that his trust in Chen An will not be hesitated by anyone’s words.

But it turns out that no matter how determined people are, they will eventually be affected by the environment.

When people all over the place whisper in your ear day and night, instilling the idea that Chen An may be plotting evil or rebelling, Cheng Zheng will inevitably be shaken.

When ordinary people arrive here, the basic result is doomed.

Once a doubt arises, it is indelible.

But Cheng Zheng is not an ordinary person after all.

When he realized that he might not be able to withstand the influence of words, he decisively closed the palace gate, isolating the inside and outside, and even gave an express order not to allow everyone to talk about things related to Chen An.

But even so, the people outside are still not giving up, and are still trying their best to advise Cheng Zheng and instill their thoughts into him.

“But Your Majesty, it’s not a solution after all.”

Queen Hua was a little helpless: “I don’t know the situation on the front line for the time being, but seeing Duke Chen’s dismissal, it is estimated that he will fight another three or five times. It’s possible for a year.”

“Your Majesty, you can block those people outside for half a year, is it possible that you can’t do this for three or five years?”

“why cannot?”

Cheng Zheng laughed: “In ancient times, many kings once indulged in pleasure. Even though there were still many people who didn’t go to court for more than ten years, the Imperial Court was still in good order”

Queen Hua opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

She would like to say that those who do this are basically famous and faint.

You can’t learn the bad ones without learning the good ones.

But seeing that Cheng Zheng’s will is quite firm, she didn’t say much.

There was a momentary silence on the spot, and neither of them said anything.

It wasn’t until a moment later that Queen Hua finally couldn’t help speaking: “But Your Majesty, what if Duke Chen is really.”

“That’s right. 400,000 troops.”

Yes, a full 400,000 troops.

This basically accounts for more than half of Great Hua’s entire military force. If he rebels, the entire Great Hua will change his surname.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Cheng Zheng shook his head subconsciously, and then instantly became sharp: “Why did the queen say this?”

“Who is here? Are you talking nonsense in your ear?”

His eyes suddenly sharpened, and there was a murderous aura between his eyebrows, as if he wanted to kill someone.

Empress Hua was stared at by Cheng Zheng, and suddenly became nervous: “It’s the maids and attendants around.”

“Some servants in the palace who are in charge of purchasing said that Duke is everywhere now. The news of Chen’s imminent rebellion said that the reason why Duke Chen was stationed on the front line for a long time was to control the military power”

“Changan is absolutely impossible to rebel!”

Cheng Zheng changed color and said furiously: “Immediately kill the talkative villain in the palace! Let me see who dares to talk more!”

He is trying his best to isolate the idea of outside rumors and try to keep an independent and quiet place. The environment, but when I looked back, even my own home was copied.

This is a good guy.

Even his own queen has been affected to this extent, which shows how many people were alarmed in the palace now.

While Cheng Zheng was furious, he was also a little nervous.

The rumors cannot be stopped.

Even though he is the emperor, he can theoretically control everything in this Great Hua, but after all, he can’t control this anxious heart.

If he continues like this, can he really stay awake and keep his trust in Chen An?

Cheng Zheng himself didn’t know.

But he’s still holding on.

If this continues, the results are still unknown.

But fortunately, this ordeal did not continue.

Because Chen An is back.

Chen An came back secretly. After returning to Shengjing, he did not reveal his identity, but immediately came to the Imperial Palace to prepare for an interview.

Cheng Zheng could hardly believe his eyes when Chen An’s salutation post appeared in front of Cheng Zheng’s eyes.

And when he was determined, what followed was ecstatic and many other emotions.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately charged ahead.

Outside the great hall, servants are walking everywhere.

Chen An’s silhouette is standing there, still looking all around, as if enjoying the scenery here.

When Cheng Zheng rushed out of the palace, looking at Cheng Zheng’s ecstatic face, Chen An’s face could not help but become a little surprised.

What’s wrong with this?

I haven’t seen each other for more than two years, why are you so excited all of a sudden?

Cheng Zheng’s excitement lasted for a while before Chen An realized what was going on.

It made him a little didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

He didn’t expect that Cheng Zheng was under such huge pressure for the situation to be stable there.

Cheng Zheng will do this step for him, which is really what Chen An didn’t expect.

At first, Chen An thought that on his way back to Shengjing, the messenger who summoned him back to Shengjing might already be on his way.

All kinds of historical experiences in previous lives told him that most of the people who are kings would make such a choice in this situation.

Completely didn’t expect, Cheng Zheng actually forcibly withstood the pressure, preferring to close the palace gate to isolate the inside and outside, but also to ensure that he would not be affected.

This is astounding.

At this moment, even Chen An, the 10,000-year-old fisherman, couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed.

I was wrong.

It turns out that there are still good bosses in this world who are willing to believe in their subordinates.

But he felt ashamed, didn’t expect Cheng Zheng to be ashamed as well.

After meeting Chen An, he set up a banquet in the great hall, and asked his queen to pour wine for Chen An and apologize in person.

“I also ask Duke Chen to forgive my sins.”

At the banquet, Queen Hua was a little ashamed: “I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and I don’t know much about the outside world, so I even I should have misunderstood Duke Chen after listening to the villain’s slander.”

“This glass of wine is my tribute to you.”

Chen An listened with a puzzled face. Force, it took a while to understand what was going on, and a smile appeared on his face: “Empress doesn’t have to be like this.”

“It’s just a little misunderstanding.”

He His face was calm, and his expression was exceptionally casually, without any sign of anger or excitement.

But the more he is like this, the more ashamed Cheng Zheng and his wife seem.

In the end, Chen An couldn’t help but waved his hand and sighed: “Everything can be said regardless of the heart, and there is no perfect person in the world.”

“There are so many rumors in the outside world, Your Majesty It’s only normal to be affected by the queen.”

“But for me, I saw Your Majesty broke with the courtiers for Chang’an, and even closed the palace gates to isolate the inside and outside, and for the king, It is rare in ancient times that your servant can do this step.”

“Chang’an can be treated like this by Your Majesty, why not be satisfied?”

He said with a smile, This thing has been revealed.

Then they began to tell each other what had happened in the past two years.

In the past two years, although they have exchanged letters with each other, the content of the letters is limited after all, and it is impossible to explain everything one after another, and there are still large vacancies.

And these vacancies, taking advantage of this opportunity, can be filled through exchanges.

“So, there are still a lot of people in the front line for King Tai?”

Cheng Zheng frowned and couldn’t help asking.

“Yes.”

Chen An nodded: “When I first arrived at the front line, I studied a lot of previous records and asked many surviving captains and veterans, I found that the reason why many people failed miserably was not because of their combat strength, but because there were always people who rebelled from within.”

“There are also many famous Aristocratic families, and local big families contributed to King Tai, so that they were restricted everywhere. , can’t fight at all.”

“So Chang’an, you abolished the famous Aristocratic Family in Meizhou?”

Cheng Zheng couldn’t help laughed: “When you were doing this, many ministers were impeaching you.”

“The minister must admit that this trick is indeed a bit sinister. , but it’s too effective.”

Chen An couldn’t help laughing: “Those Aristocratic Family have too much property, after copying them, not only most of the problems in Meizhou will be solved directly , and it has freed up a lot of fields for reclamation, which is too easy.”

“Think about it, anyway, I’m not Your Majesty, so I’ll do it if I do it.”

It is true that only Chen An can do this.

As for Cheng Zheng, as the emperor, if he dares to act like Chen An, it will definitely cause a large number of people to bounce back.

The status is too high, and this kind of murder and offending people can’t end in person.

“haha.”

Cheng Zheng’s serious face had a lot of smiles: “So, Meizhou today is already a blank piece of paper that is easy to draw on, and there are all kinds of hidden dangers on it. You have been cleared by Changan?”

“Although there are still some problems, it can be said that.”

Chen An thought for a moment, then nodded.

After two years of cleaning, on the basic front line, some people in the army who have a heart for King Tai have been cleaned almost, and the soldiers have gradually become elite after two years of training.

Those big local households who might be making troubles were basically cleaned up by Chen An.

There may be some restless people lurking, but they can’t affect anything.

It can be said that the internal strength is almost repaired.

Those offending people have been almost done by Chen An.

On the other hand, it is King Tai’s side. Because of the time, there have been many internal problems and hidden dangers.

“If you send troops from Chang’an, how long will it take to take King Tai?”

Cheng Zheng thought for a while, and finally continued to ask.

And Chen An didn’t hesitate, just said a number without thinking.

“Ten years!”

Cheng Zheng was stunned for a while, and he couldn’t believe it: “Changan, didn’t you say that the hidden dangers have been cleaned up? Why is it taking so long for ten years? !”

Yes, all the hidden dangers have been cleaned up, isn’t it next that the army will overwhelm the realm, like as the autumn gale sweeps away the fallen leaves, and wipe out King Tai in one fell swoop.

How come it takes ten years?

Chen An didn’t speak, just kept silent and looked at Cheng Zheng with an inexplicable look.

It wasn’t until a long time later that he sighed and said, “Your Majesty, you don’t really think that I’m a gentleman who leads a war.”

Isn’t it?

Cheng Zheng flashed this thought in his heart.

Listening to what Chen An just said, I am very clear about clear and logical in all aspects.

I didn’t see Empress Hua on the side with a look of admiration, obviously she was convinced by Chen An’s ability?

Seeing the appearance of Cheng Zheng and the queen, Chen An couldn’t help sighed and explained: “Your Majesty, leading troops to fight and coordinating the situation are two aspects.”

p>

“With the ability of the minister, if you let the minister take care of the overall situation, whether it’s training the army, clearing up internal troubles, or taking care of the internal affairs, the minister can do it.”

“But you have to let the minister take care of the overall situation. I’m going to mobilize the army and command an army of 400,000 people, then there will be a problem.”

To put it bluntly, it is still a professional misunderstanding.

Chen An had a good two years on the front line, but most of the time, he was just training troops, and even attacking was only a small-scale harassment.

As for actually coordinating an army of 400,000 troops to attack together, he has never done it before.

In other words, it was the first time he did it.

So if he is in command of the army, there is a high probability that he will take every step and nibble until he finds a suitable opportunity.
