There are still many courtiers who insist on moving the capital, but they can no longer find a reason, and abandoning the people can no longer be a reason.
Not only had they seen their fate just now, but they were already a little ashamed by Chen Chao's words. Many of them thought of the vows they made when they were determined to obtain merit.
Probably not many people can put aside Mr. Zhang’s four sentences.
The hall suddenly became quiet. Chen Chao looked at this group of civil servants, most of whom had good intentions. He thought for a moment and said, "No one's life is more valuable than anyone else's. Our group appears in the north just because it is more suitable."
We and you are here because the imperial court needs you here more, nothing more."
After saying this, Chen Chao no longer planned to pay attention to these courtiers. Instead, he came to the side of His Royal Highness and said: "Your Highness, let's take a walk together."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded, and when he walked out of the hall, he waved his hands to the servants who wanted to follow him, indicating that they did not need to follow him, and then followed Chen Chao out of the hall.
However, when he walked out of the hall, Li Shou still handed the prince an oil-paper umbrella.
His Highness the Crown Prince just walked in the wind and snow holding an umbrella, with Chen Chao beside him.
Chen Chao was the first to speak: "The Crown Princess was just about to raise her sword and kill someone. Based on the environment she grew up in, she probably felt that as long as her life was threatened, the courtiers would always be able to shut up."
"Xinyue is also worried. She is not of this temper normally."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince glanced at Chen Chao and said, "She is usually a very good wife."
Perhaps in his heart, His Highness the Crown Prince is worried that his only brother will be dissatisfied with his wife.
Chen Chao nodded and said, "Of course I know."
His Highness the Crown Prince breathed a sigh of relief, but then he opened his mouth and asked: "Brother, is Xiao Yi's crime worthy of death?"
Hearing these words, Chen Chao paused for a moment, then turned his head and looked behind him. The footprints along the way were already covered by wind and snow.
Turning his head, Chen Chao said: "At any time other than today, he would not be guilty of death, but today, he must die."
His Highness the Crown Prince frowned and said, "Is it to kill the chicken to scare the monkey?"
Chen Chao said: "Part of it, but in fact the reason is still very simple. He takes himself too seriously and takes the people too lightly. In fact, it seems to be understandable? Although the ancestral precept left by Emperor Taizu Gao is to share the world with the people
, but after becoming an official, he was so superior that the common people would call him "Master Official" when they saw him. How could he really treat the common people as someone equal to him? Besides, Xiao Yi was born into a wealthy family, and there were countless slaves in his family.
I’m afraid it’s also a temperament developed since childhood.”
"The human heart is like water and like mountain mist, how can we see through it?"
Chen Chao smiled and said, "At any time, there is no reason to kill a person like Xiao Yi as long as he does not violate the laws of Daliang. But today, under the current situation of the court, if he is still wavering, then

Then we will definitely lose. The price of losing is not that Chen cannot be the emperor, but that the human race may have their backs broken for tens of millions of years and have to live on their knees for the rest of their lives. This is still the best outcome."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was startled, "Are the consequences really so serious?"
No matter in the previous dynasties or many years ago, the human race was defeated by the demon clan, but there has never been a situation where the demon clan wanted to completely drive out the human race, or even occupy the human race's territory and enslave the human race.
Chen Chao said calmly: "Today is different from the past. This is definitely the most dangerous time for the human race in the past thousand years."
His Royal Highness the Prince nodded. In many cases, he still unconditionally believed in his brother, but he still said with some dissatisfaction: "But if my brother does this, he will always make too many enemies for himself."
Regardless of whether the human race can win in the end, I am afraid that what Chen Chao did today will be remembered by the courtiers, especially the Xiao family, and they may eventually try their best to drive away Chen Chao.
His Royal Highness does not know how long he can live, but he knows that his brother will definitely live longer than himself if nothing unexpected happens.
Chen Chao thought for a while and did not answer the question. He just said: "Earlier, before the northern frontier army went south, I heard a short story. It happened in the meeting hall of the General's Mansion. At that time, whether they went south or not, there was always a question.
The debate continued until someone asked the general, what would happen if His Majesty was here? The general decided to go south."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned.
Chen Chao said slowly: "I'm not asking you to become someone like His Majesty, nor am I comparing you to His Majesty. It's just that since you are like this, we must do more so that His Majesty's will can continue to be carried out.
."
"But...when it's time to speak, you have to speak."
Chen Chao smiled and faced his younger brother.
Then he stopped and signaled that he was done.
His Royal Highness did not speak because he was afraid that any words might become the final farewell.
Chen Chao held his head with white snow on his head and looked at this young man whose facial features were somewhat similar to his own. He really hoped that in that peaceful world, he would be the one ruling this dynasty.
But he needs to be tougher and tougher.
Only in this way can he be able to govern the country well when he is not around.
…
…
South Lake is frozen.
In the past few years, Nanhu Lake did not freeze.
Because the dean was in Shendu during those years and did not like to see the frozen South Lake in winter, so the South Lake never froze.
Now that the academy has a new president, many things have changed.
??????55.??????
But there are still some things that remain the same.
For example, at this time, a pot of mutton was still being cooked in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake. The boiling soup brought out the aroma of the mutton and made the air in the pavilion warm.
The middle-aged man sitting under the pavilion looked at the boiling soup, but he did not look happy or excited about eating delicious food.
There was even some sadness in his eyes.
After a long time, I picked up the chopsticks and started eating the mutton, but I ate very slowly.
Until a young man walked into the pavilion in the wind and snow.
The middle-aged man stopped eating and raised his head to look at the pale and exhausted young man.
The young man sat down by himself and joked: "I thought I would be torn into pieces by these scholars when I entered the academy this time."
The death of the dean in the north will definitely make the readers sad. Sadness can easily turn into anger, and anger needs to be vented. Chen Chao seems to be a very suitable person.
The middle-aged man looked at the young man in front of him and mocked: "You think it's you, haven't you read any books?"
The young man clicked his tongue and said, "It seems that the students in the academy have finally learned to be reasonable. As a student, you really do better than Mr."
Mentioning this, the middle-aged man was silent for a while, and then said: "No one can compare to Mr.
The young man thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Dong also died in the north."
The middle-aged man then stopped talking.
The young man looked at his old neighbor and elder for many years and said softly: "I came back this time to give you something."
As he spoke, he took out a sword as thin as a cicada's wing and handed it to the current acting dean of the academy, Zhou Gouqi.
However, with the death of the dean, his pronoun naturally disappeared.
"It's a cicada."
Zhou Gouqi frowned, seeing this sword, it was hard not to think of that junior brother.
"There are only two places where Liu Jianxian's heart can rest. The corpses and most of the flying swords are left in the north. The rest should be left in the academy."
Chen Chao, who came back from the north, sighed.
Too many people have died in the north recently. Those familiar names and figures disappear one by one, and no one will remain indifferent.
Zhou Gouqi raised his head and asked: "Where is sir? Is there anything left behind?"
Chen Chao shook his head.
Zhou Wolfberry's eyes dimmed.
"I heard that you killed someone in the hall again."
Zhou Gouqi said: "In these troubled times, if you still dare to kill people like this, you are not afraid that the government will be in chaos."
#Every time verification appears, please do not use incognito mode!
Porridge, there is absolutely no way to clean it up?"
"If I don't kill people and suppress them, they will force the prince to move the capital. Then we will lose whether we fight or not."
Chen Chao calmly said: "I never like killing people."
"When His Majesty passed the throne to you, wouldn't things be a lot simpler now if you had continued?"
Zhou Gouqi looked at the Chen Dynasty. If the Chen Dynasty had chosen to be the next emperor of the Liang Dynasty at that time, then of course the atmosphere in the court would be different today.
Chen Chao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That's not what I want either."
Zhou Gouqi said calmly: "The academy has always considered the matter of moving the capital to be a matter of government affairs, and our academy does not interfere with government affairs, so we said nothing and did nothing. But if there is such a thing again in the future, the academy will talk about it."
Chen Chao laughed and said, "Such a thing should not happen before I die."
Zhou Gouqi was silent for a while, looked into the eyes of the young man in front of him and suddenly asked: "I heard that half of the Great Wall in the North has been broken. It is only a matter of time before it is broken?"
Chen Chao just said: "Gufengkou has been breached, and we have also wiped out the entire demon army on the Wangyue Platform. They also suffered a lot of losses."
Chen Chao did not elaborate on the dangers involved.
Zhou Gouqi sighed: "The situation is still very difficult."
"Try your best. It's impossible for us to admit defeat anyway. Not to mention whether we are sorry to the people of Xinliu Jizhou. If we surrender at this moment, we will also be sorry to the dean, Senior Brother Liu, Mr. Dong and others."
"There are so many dead people."
Chen Chao smiled and said: "Don't let me reverse the situation, or I will let them know what Daliang's anger is."
Having said this, Chen Chao glanced at the mutton in front of him and said, "It's almost time. I'm going back. God has something to do, so I'm sorry to bother you."
"It's okay to trouble the academy, but there's no point in bothering me, because I'm going north too."
Zhou Gouqi smiled and said: "Both my husband and junior brother have died in the north, and my junior sister is still in the north. As a senior brother, there is really no way for me to hide and read alone."
Chen Chao didn't say anything. In the current situation, anyone could die. He really didn't know how to persuade him.
He stood up to leave, but suddenly saw students from the academy standing by the lake.
Chen Chao walked out of the small pavilion in the middle of the lake and looked at these young faces, not knowing what to say.
The atmosphere is a bit cold, maybe because of the weather. After all, it is definitely cold in this cold winter season.
The students suddenly bowed together and saluted Chen Chao: "Thank you, Lord Guardian, for safeguarding peace in Daliang."
The sound floated in the wind and snow, repelling the temperatureless snowflakes.
Chen Chao was silent for a moment and returned the courtesy, "This is a matter within my official duties. There is no need to say thank you."
