Chapter 194: distant friendship
In Jiangnan, Emperor Yuhui leaned on the dragon couch, tapping his fingers on the left handrail, and his brows were furrowed.
All seven confidants, including the emperor's uncle Li Xiu and Shangguan, were present.
They are all confidants of Emperor Yuhui, and each of them is of high status and power, so it is rare to get together.
The navy's tail was too big and had become a major concern for the court. The navy relied on to protect itself.
The combat effectiveness of the soldiers from all over the country was extremely unbearable and even bandits could not deal with them.
Li Xiu looked at his emperor nephew and said carefully: "Your Majesty, Yuchi Shenzhi, the governor of Zhenjiang Naval Division, has always been cautious and he definitely did not dare to join the Huai Army privately. I think 80% of them are among the navy, and a high-powered person spoke."
"Uncle, be careful of your words!"
Emperor Yuhui whispered that although he was greedy for peace, he was not stupid, and in fact he was extremely smart.
It has been more than a day or two for the people in the Navy to be dissatisfied with the imperial order, and it has become more and more excessive.
However, the Tang Dynasty did not dare to completely break up with the navy. Even the court needed to maintain a superficial relationship between the monarch and the ministers.
"Yes." Li Xiu also lowered his voice, and he naturally knew that the relationship between the court and the navy could not be said openly.
"What do you think is their purpose?" asked Emperor Yuhui.

The old eunuch Yu Jingde pondered: "In the opinion of Lao Nu, it is probably the Huai Army who promised the benefits they could not refuse. The previous naval army went north rashly and broke several naval camps in Jiangbei, killing more than a thousand people. The Great Qi sent Yuan Xiannian to come, and it was all up to Your Majesty's mediation to eliminate the misunderstanding. From this, it can be seen that the naval army is planning a major event and want to get something from Jiangbei."
"The Jiangnan of the Tang Dynasty is already an ironclad piece. Even if they want to reach out, the Chamber of Commerce will not allow it, and we will not sit idly by. The navy also wants to have his own way of making money. I think it is to seek the land and population of Jiangbei."
"If they succeed, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Emperor Yuhui sighed, "It's so uneasy that our Tang Dynasty and Da Qi have been governed across the river for a hundred years. We have always been peaceful and peaceful, and the people are happy. There is a natural barrier of the Yangtze River in the north and no strong enemy goes south. How lucky! I am afraid that they will be self-righteous and rashly cross the north and will be defeated by the Qi people, which will affect the innocent people of our Tang Dynasty."
This was a mess, but everyone present nodded and said yes.
The idea of the Southern Tang Dynasty was deeply rooted, and there were emperors who worked hard to govern the country, but never thought about the Northern Expedition.
It has been a hundred years since the Emperor of Qi Zhao Wei wiped out the Tartars, and his military power can still shock the Southern Tang Dynasty. If he had fallen into the water two days later, the Tang Dynasty would not be able to bear the pressure and surrender.
The idea that Northern Qi can fight was unshakable in the hearts of the Tang people. The fears passed down from generation to generation have become a symptom.
"Now that the heroes of Northern Qi have emerged together. In my opinion, Jiang Chucai, who was supported by the Mongols; Chen Shou, who occupied the narrow capital of the capital to command the princes; Li Wei, who swept away the northwest and subdued the Qiang; Wu Meng, who was pacified by Lu Youyan and dominated the Liaodong; the Wei family in the two Huai, who was rich in the world and had no money and food, was the most powerful. If the navy wants to form an alliance with the Huai army, we cannot fall behind. Do you think, which side is the best?"
"Chen Shou."
"I think it's Chen Shou."
"Chen Shou has the Emperor Qi in his hands, so he can stand it in a righteous way."
"I have been in contact with this person, he is a little frivolous and is too young to know if he can keep it steady."
Li Xiu made a decision: "Chen Shougang formed an alliance with Xiliang and married Xiliang's daughter. Li Wei personally went to Bianliang and ran around with great fanfare to give him a strong momentum, which shows his trust in Chen Shou."
Emperor Yuhui nodded and said, "Okay, Chen Shou has always had good friends with our Datang. He was the first Qi person who dared to open a business during his administration. Moreover, he would send people to visit me every festival. Who would go to Kaifeng, Daqi and meet Chen Shou?"
"I am willing to go." Shangguan Jun stood up and said.
"Okay, there is also the matter of Zhenjiang Navy. You must not ignore it. Yu Jingde, do you dare to go to Zhenjiang?" Emperor Yuhui looked up and asked after being silent for a moment.
Yu Jingde stood up, brushed his sleeves and robe, bent down and bowed, "I wish to go to Zhenjiang for Your Majesty."
"good!"

"Oh, I won't fight."
Chen Shou was so tired that he was sweating all over. He threw the wooden stick in his hand casually, and sat aside and complained: "Every time I say he should keep his hand, I can't raise my head when I hit you again and again."
Li Lingyue was wearing a red dress, with a slim waist, and was handsome and handsome. She looked at Chen Shou with her charming big eyes and said funny: "I'm so merciful, otherwise you would have been hiding so slowly, and you would have hit you with one stick."
The maids around were covering their mouths and laughing. This was one of the few great opportunities to see the master embarrass him. It was the favorite program of the maids and concubines in the yard.
Chen Shou couldn't hold back his face, and he couldn't get up, and said angrily: "Anyway, I won't practice with you again."
"Who do you want to practice with?"
Chen Shou looked around and pointed at Yuan Xinzhu who was gnawing a pear, "I'll fight Zhuzhu."
After saying that, he laughed first. Li Lingyue picked up the dragon stick that Chen Shou threw on the ground was hanging on the shelf without any bias.
Yuan Xinzhu was stunned for a moment, her eyes rolled, and she lowered her head to chew the pear.
"Practicing martial arts is to strengthen your body. You are not a general, so why are you fighting for the victory or defeat?" Li Lingyue untied the tassels in her waist, went out to tie her head and her forehead, her face was not red and she was not angry, and it seemed that she was not exerting any effort at all.
She is somewhat similar to Li Lingfeng, and she also has a snow-white and beautiful melon-shaped face. Although she is not as charming as Li Lingfeng, she is better because of her slender legs and delicate figure.
This trick was so handsome that he was so beautiful that he looked at the concubines and maids around him. Su Qiongzhi twisted a pumpkin seed and smiled and said, "If Ling Yue is a man, there will be nothing we have to do with him."
Chen Shou felt a little bored, so he stood up and patted his butt, "When will the meal start?"
Li Lingyue sat on a wooden chair in the long veranda, tied the towel in Zhihua's hand, wiped his face, and said, "The weather is very good, why not eat it in the yard."
Several maids brought a table and served hot porridge, exquisite side dishes in four colors, and more than ten thin and soft spring cakes.
After eating, Chen Shou clapped his hands. Just as he was about to get up, Taoer came in with his skirt, tied his skirt and gave his wife a blessing. Then he walked to Chen Shou and said, "Master Yuan is here, saying that he has brought a friend of Nan Tang."
"My friend of Nan Tang? What's his name?" Chen Shou took a sip of water and asked indifferently.
"Shangguan Jun."
"Hmm?" Chen Shou's face became solemn, and he suddenly stood up.
