Li Jingnan walked a few steps in a hurry, then suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but slow down. At the same time, he looked at the people around him with his peripheral vision, and then snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty?" The little eunuch who was following behind noticed something was wrong and hurriedly said: "You..."
Li Jingnan just waved his hands expressionlessly, as if he didn't want to say more.
Your Majesty, this is different from usual times! The little eunuch was panicking, always afraid that he or others might not take good care of him, which would upset his noble master.
Just as the little eunuch was thinking wildly, Li Jingnan was finally willing to speak: "What is Chen Yuan here for? Is there some messy thing to annoy you?"
After hearing this, the little eunuch's frightened look not only did not disappear, but became more serious.
This... Banzai Ye asked something, so I should reply, but if I want to reply, it involves the director of the Royal Forest Army. How can I reply
"To convey the message, I have to go to the imperial study. It is inconvenient to see guests. Let him talk about anything until he goes to court." Li Jingnan seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly said decisively: "See you, see you!"
Not only the young eunuch, but also the other attendants nearby were shocked. Fortunately, everyone reacted quickly, and soon some people followed the order.
Li Jingnan watched the little eunuch who was delivering the order go away, then immediately walked towards the royal study room with his sleeves fluttered. It's just that he walked slowly and slowly, as if he was waiting for something.
The attendants who followed him didn't dare to ask any more questions, and just wondered secretly in their hearts. What's wrong with Long Live Master today? You actually want to study hard
"You all go down first." Li Jingnan looked around at the attendants around him and ordered: "You, and you, go to the imperial study room with me."
He was referring to two eunuchs who looked to be about the same age as himself.
Speaking of which, people around me cannot believe everything, but fortunately there are still a few people who are sure that they will not tip off the Queen Mother.
The two eunuchs he chose to stay were the more loyal and clever ones.
The two young eunuchs who were singled out were also smart. They had long realized that Li Jingnan was not doing something right, and they felt that the emperor was deliberately not following him. Although they didn't ask anything, they were all prepared in their hearts.
Sure enough, after walking around the palace for half an hour, I finally reached the palace road outside the imperial study.
The two young eunuchs stretched their heads and looked around, and sure enough, they saw Mr. Chen Yuan, the general manager of the imperial army, in an inconspicuous corner outside the imperial study room.
Chen Yuan was standing in front of the imperial study room. He was wearing a plain official robe. At first glance, it was not very conspicuous. But if you look closely, you can see that it was embroidered with brocade threads with large auspicious clouds and dark patterns. The style was luxurious. Very.
Li Jingnan saw this man's figure from all the way. He looked calm on the surface, but in fact there was a hint of a smile between his eyebrows. He seemed quite satisfied with Chen Yuan's arrival.
"Your Majesty." Chen Yuan bowed his head to Li Jingnan, his tone full of piety.
Li Jingnan nodded. Although he was young, he could not stop himself from putting on a supreme air. He turned sideways and looked at the two eunuchs following him, and ordered: "No one is allowed to disturb me without my permission."
The eunuchs nodded in agreement, and then wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, Li Jingnan suddenly frowned again at this time, with a sinister tone in his tone: "Be smart and don't let anyone come and disturb you."
The word "disturbance" was written very strongly, obviously for emphasis.
The two eunuchs were stunned for a moment, then solemnly bowed their heads.
Li Jingnan was finally satisfied, turned around and walked towards the imperial study room, and Chen Yuan followed him consciously.
"Has your Majesty made a decision regarding the thunderstorm?" Chen Yuan asked calmly as he entered the imperial study.
"So be it." Li Jingnan thought about the discussion process with Fu Yanye today and seemed a little unhappy: "When did this Fu Yanye become so mother-in-law when something happened? He is like a timid child who has never seen the world."
Obviously you are still a child yourself!
Chen Yuan sighed silently in his heart, then turned his mind to what his emperor said, frowned and thought for a moment, and asked, "General, don't you want to sell it to Liao Kingdom Zhentian Lei?"
Li Jingnan sat down on the dragon chair in the imperial study room, picked up a book and played with it, while shaking his head.
"Since he agreed, how could he... Oh, I understand." Chen Yuan rarely sounded normal: "I guess it was because of the border defense campaign and the suffering of our people, right?"
Li Jingnan didn't say anything when he heard this, but he slowed down a little while playing with the books.
"There is no way to come to the Queen Mother." Chen Yuan changed the topic knowingly: "That's good, her reputation in the government and the public has been hit, which will be more beneficial to you in the future..."
"Then I would like to thank Mr. Chen." Li Jingnan did not raise his head, but slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "The Queen Mother would never have thought that you would fall to my side."
These words seemed to be both praise and criticism, but what kind of psychological quality did Chen Yuan have? No matter what he heard, he always smiled on the surface: "Your Majesty has given you a compliment. I just did my duty."
Li Jingnan nodded noncommittally.
He originally didn't want to include Chen Yuan as his chess piece. After all, this person's temperament was uncertain and he had always been a prominent figure active around Zheng Shuwen.
Using Chen Yuan is a very risky choice anyway.
But Li Jingnan had no choice. While he needed to bring down Zheng Shuwen, he also had to make sure that he was strong enough to suppress Fu Yanye.
Fu Yanye's ability was so powerful that it already made the emperor Li Jingnan feel a sense of crisis, so he became wary of it.
Chen Yuan's ownership will become a major advantage for Li Jingnan to balance the situation between the government and the opposition after the Queen Mother is ousted.
Therefore, Li Jingnan took the risk and chose to test Chen Yuan's sincerity.
The result was extremely satisfying to the little emperor. On the surface, Chen Yuan submitted to the Queen Mother, but in fact he had another set of thoughts in his heart. He had always been somewhat repulsive to all the edicts and national policies implemented by the Queen Mother, but on the surface he wanted to accept them. Both ways.
Li Jingnan deliberately arranged for someone to test Chen Yuan's mind.
It can only be said that Chen Yuan is indeed an old fox. Regardless of the identity of the person who tests him, he will always give an ambiguous answer. This move is naturally extremely smart and knows how to protect oneself.
But this was a pain for Li Jingnan. He really couldn't give up on Chen Yuan. In the end, his heart sank, and he deliberately arranged for a few trusted confidants to deliberately appear in front of Chen Yuan to change his position and support the Queen Mother.
In order to prevent Chen Yuan from taking advantage of his scheme, Li Jingnan also asked these close ministers to put on a bigger airs.
Fortunately, most of these ministers are older people. Even if their IQ is not as good as Chen Yuan's, they still have rich experience. In addition, they all have amazing eyesight. Although they cannot win against each other, they can still be considered a match. A tie.
What he never expected was that Chen Yuan actually came to the door and asked Li Jingnan bluntly if he was trying to test him.
This move caught Li Jingnan off guard, and he could only suppress the panic in his heart, and pretended to be an emperor and scolded Chen Yuan for stirring up trouble.
"Your Majesty, it is natural that the minister is guilty of mentioning this matter." Chen Yuan said at that time: "The guilty minister just wants to know, is the emperor willing to be a puppet to be manipulated?"
The question came to this point, not only to show his sincerity, but also to give Li Jingnan an excuse.
After all, making assumptions about the royal family still has a somewhat disrespectful tone. Regardless of Li Jingnan's answer or not, this is already a serious crime.
Moreover, Li Jingnan was not a vegetarian. Even if Chen Yuan turned around and complained to the Queen Mother, he might not end well.
At this point, Chen Yuan is completely regarded as a trustworthy chess piece by Li Jingnan, and he is also at the level of a secret weapon.
"How could the emperor not allow me to enter?" Suddenly, a roaring voice sounded outside the door of the imperial study: "How dare you stop me?"
There was a hint of surprise on Chen Yuan's face, and he stretched his head curiously to look out.
Li Jingnan frowned, took the book in his hand, and ran out angrily.
Chen Yuan didn't recognize the whistling sound, but Li Jingnan could recognize it. It was exactly like a little bean that disappeared for a while!
Okay! This servant went to file a complaint. Now he dares to come to the imperial study and act wild? Do you really think that the emperor like him is an innocent child who is at the mercy of others
Chen Yuan wisely chose not to follow him out, but moved closer to the window sash of the Imperial Study Room, and gently opened it a crack, just enough to see what was happening outside the main entrance of the Imperial Study Room.
I saw Li Jingnan running out of the royal study, but he was not as angry as when he left. Instead, he was a bit reserved, looking arrogant, cold and inviolable.
Xiaodouzi, who was stopped by the two young eunuchs, felt guilty for a moment when he saw Li Jingnan appearing in front of him, but he still had a dissatisfied expression on his face.
"Bang!" The book in Li Jingnan's hand was thrown out violently, hitting Xiaodouzi in the face with great accuracy.
The two young eunuchs who were responsible for stopping people were startled and hurriedly got out of the way.
"Your Majesty! The slaves need to follow you closely to serve you. How could you let them stop me?" Xiaodouzi, who was hit in the face, not only did not cry in sorrow, but smiled excitedly and took a few steps forward: "Slave..."
At this time, Li Jingnan coldly threw a knife in the eye.
The smile on Xiaodouzi's face immediately froze, and he froze in place.
Chen Yuan, not far away, saw everything through the gap in the window. Li Jingnan's back was turned to him, so he couldn't clearly see how this young emperor instantly shocked people, so he could only secretly marvel and praise.
"Your Majesty?" Although Xiaodouzi felt that disaster was imminent, he still summoned the courage to call out.
"Follow me and serve you?" Li Jingnan sneered: "I'm afraid the queen mother will make you more willing to go and serve me, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiaodouzi broke into a cold sweat.
