Of course, Chen Shou is not the only one who can see the general trend of the world.

All forces were waiting and watching, and the princes became popular at this time.

The prince is dark and weak, and he may die in front of Emperor Gengyuan at any time. Whoever can narrow the emperor to command the princes will take the initiative.

Unfortunately, the princes were famous for being incompetent. Wei Yunse thought about it for a long time and didn't know which one to support.

Chen Shou did not have this trouble. He did not think about supporting the prince. As long as he won the next battle, he would establish whoever he wanted.

At this critical stall, news suddenly came that in the south, the Nantang Navy and the Daqi Navy broke out in the Qi Navy and fought a battle.

Both sides suffered casualties, and in general, Daqi suffered a loss...

Even Emperor Gengyuan couldn't sit still. Although he didn't care about state affairs, what was involved in the Southern Tang Dynasty still attracted his attention.

In particular, the Great Qi has always crushed the Southern Tang Dynasty in terms of force, forcing the latter to almost surrender to the country and claim to be a vassal.

If Taizu hadn't fallen into the water, he would have been crossing the river long ago, and Daqi would have lost to anyone, but he would not have lost to Nan Tang.

Chen Shou didn't know about this, but Emperor Geng Yuan received the news and did not tell him. After all, in the emperor's opinion, what Chen Shou should do the most is not to go out all day to refine elixirs for himself.

He had just returned from the summer palace and had an in-depth exchange with Concubine Wu. He was in a good mood. He picked up the teacup and drank it in one sip. He felt more happy and raised his legs to put it on the table. "Hong'er is here, the master is in great interest now."

Hong'er played cards with Lu'er and a few last night, but she didn't sleep for long. The building was quiet. Although incense was burning in the copper furnace, the windows were open to ventilate, and it was still a little chill.

He heard Chen Shou's movements faintly, and was both angry and funny. He sat in front of the dressing table, combed his long hair softly in front of the bronze mirror, and his beautiful eyes were filled with waves like water. She walked gracefully behind Chen Shou and gently kneaded it.

The Xinglin family came from different families. Chen Shou hummed comfortably, and when he heard his comfortable voice, Hong'er worked harder. There were not a few days of real peace and joy in her life. Chen Shou's appearance made her feel that she had something to rely on for the first time.

"Master, Master, Zhao Hong is here."

Chen Shou was a little confused. Usually, Zhao Hong would tell him to come. Could something be wrong?

When I walked to the flower hall, I saw Zhao Hong standing there, rubbing his hands a little anxious.

"Sir, no, the Tang people's navy invaded Daqi and sank the four of our warships."

Chen Shou was speechless. This was really a blow to everyone. Nan Tang had always been in a corner and burned the incense without being beaten. Now he dared to take the initiative and won the battle.

"When did it happen?"

"Just a few days ago, it spread all over the world, and the people of Bianliang were excited and mocked the navy for being incompetent."

No wonder they did this. The people of Daqi have always had natural hostility towards the Southern Tang Dynasty. After all, they flew south and abandoned their children, which made Jiangbei become a fishy smell for a hundred years. The Han'er in Jiangbei was almost exterminated.

Until now, when everyone talks about Taizu's southern expedition, they all have endless sighs and regrets.

In people's impression, most of the Southern Tang Dynasty were slutty girls, and a few stunning poems appeared from time to time. Otherwise, the stunning beauty's reputation spread and made people fascinated.

But their soldiers are famous for their soft-legged shrimps. They can survive until now, all relying on the natural barriers of the Yangtze River.

Could it be that the Great Qi has fallen to the point where even the Southern Tang Dynasty cannot beat?

Chen Shou pondered for a moment and said, "The success or failure of the navy is not enough to make the conclusion. I think this matter is mostly a test of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Have they sent someone?"

"not yet."

While Chen Shou frowned and thought, the servant outside brought Huang Zhen in. As soon as he came in, he saw Chen Shou's expression and said, "Don't Zhongyong already know?"

"Nan Tang?"

Huang Zhen sighed and said, "That's right, now the bandits in Hedong are in trouble. The thieves attacked Jinyang, and Li Xin has no choice. And the Southern Tang Dynasty is ready to move. If they take the opportunity to go north, Daqi will be attacked from both sides."

Chen Shou looked at him with a squinted eyes and asked, "How much do you think is the probability of the Tang people heading north?"

"It's very small, but I have to be careful."

Chen Shou nodded and said, "What do those officials and masters in the court mean?"

Huang Zhen smiled bitterly: "The Censor Zhang Gongshi has already decided to go to the Southern Tang Dynasty to question what they mean. If there is no suitable result, I am afraid that the war will begin. Wei Yunse is from Lianghuai, and it is already a public fact that his family and the Southern Tang Dynasty secretly traded and seized huge amounts of money. However, His Majesty also relied on his ability to spend money on it, so that he could be the prime minister for twelve years."

Emperor Yuan was arrogant, extravagant and licentious, especially in his later years, and wasted extravagance and money was like flowing water.

The Great Qi did not have to be attacked from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and there were no Jiangnan and maritime merchants, and the income was extremely limited. Only local snakes in the Huai River could provide a steady stream of money and provide spending for Emperor Gengyuan.

Therefore, Wei Yunse was able to dominate the prime minister for twelve years, and others were not interested in replacing him, because one generation replaced him, but he couldn't afford so much money. Emperor Yuan felt uncomfortable and let you get out of bed.

Chen Shou had known this for a long time, so even if he wanted to collect grain from the Southern Tang Dynasty, he would not dare to go to the most convenient Lianghuai, but to a remote place like Jingxiang.

If the war between the Southern Tang and Northern Qi Dynasty started, it would be the most unfavorable for Wei Yunse, so he was afraid that this thing would sell Daqi cleanly and he would make a fortune by himself.

These birds are insatiable and turn into borers, only consuming the foundation of the country. They really bit the building, but they don’t know that they are fat and fat, and they are the fastest to die.

Chen Shou looked at Huang Zhen and said in a deep voice: "Let me find a way to send our people. Do you know which official who joins us is suitable for missions?"

"Yuan Xiannian, the head of the Ministry of Justice, although his official position is low, he is eloquent and lively, and has always been quick-witted. His subordinates are close friends with him, but it is related to national affairs. His subordinates do not avoid relatives and recommend this person as an envoy."

Chen Shou nodded and said, "I have some impression."

Zhao Hong said with his ears: "Sir, it was that day that he said his father was here and he always admired you and asked you to welcome the one."

"Oh..." Chen Shou nodded and said, "When will his father arrive?"

"It's tomorrow." Zhao Hong whispered: "You asked the spy to arrange the inn, and the inn is clean and there are no suspicious characters in it, so there should be no problem."

Chen Shou nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try this person tomorrow. If it's right, I'll ask His Majesty to order him to go on an envoy."
