Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space
Chapter 378 Thinking of a Perfect Strategy
Zhao Yunhui's face changed, and his expression was inexplicable, but in an instant he returned to his usual calmness.
Looking up and down at Chen Changli, Zhao Yunhui suddenly smiled when he saw that his face was calm as usual and that he was not shaken by his words at all.
After laughing for a while, he calmed down and said in a complicated tone: "Chen Changli, the reason why I tell you these things is because His Majesty really hates military attachés. In today's world, civil servants are valued over military officers, and we generals want to stand out and compete in the world. It’s even harder.”
"The Liu family rebelled, and our generals led troops to suppress it. It seemed like an honor, but in fact, everything from food and grass to leading troops to fight was shackled by civilian officials, not to mention that Your Majesty also wants to let the prince have some military power to compete with the prince."
"In other words, the reason why the Fourth Prince is so confident in himself is because he guessed His Majesty's thoughts."
Zhao Yunhui's voice was calm and authoritative, but it made Chen Changli feel as if his heart was being squeezed tightly by a big hand.
After carefully observing the changes in Chen Changli's face, he saw that it was no longer as calm as before, and Zhao Yunhui's mood improved a lot.
He tried to straighten his posture and said with a serious face: "I am very happy to know that you are coming. The reason why I said those things to you just now is not to test you, but because I am really worried about Your Majesty. It will completely anger you and me."
Zhao Yunhui has been an official for many years and became the Minister of War, not because of his father's advice.
But he really did a lot of things for the emperor, and thus gained the emperor's attention. Only then could he become the Minister of War and compete with the civil servants.
Also because he relied on his own ability to rise step by step, he knew the emperor very well.
He came to the southwest to suppress the rebels, and then discovered the identity of the rebels through the danger of the fourth prince, and he became very panicked.
Desperate to find the fourth prince, Zhao Yunhui was just unwilling to let the fourth prince know the identity of the rebel.
Chen Changli's arrival was beyond his expectation, but made him even more terrified.
After all, the general Chen Changli was inextricably linked to the rebels. If the identity of the rebels was revealed, Chen Changli would be completely wiped out by the emperor, and he, the general, might become the trigger.
Zhao Yunhui has a thorough mind and naturally wants to confirm some of Chen Changli's ideas and then make some arrangements for the Zhao family.
"I don't know what to do, because today's matter is too important, and it's the first time I've heard of it. In addition, His Majesty's attitude is there. No matter how clever I am, I can't figure it out in a short time. A surefire solution.”
Chen Changli was silent for a long time before he thought about it in his heart, and gradually figured out the purpose of Zhao Yunhui's words, which was nothing more than wanting to protect his family.
If he were alone and faced with what Zhao Yunhui blurted out, he might boldly take risks.
But he had a wife and children, and they lived in the capital. He would never dare to take risks, and he was even less willing to let the rebels know about his arrival, otherwise he would be very likely to be targeted by the rebels.
"General Zhao, please take good care of yourself. As for me..." Chen Changli paused for a while before continuing, "My mission is to bring the fourth prince back to the capital safely, so in the next time, I have to Search carefully for the Fourth Prince."
After saying this, he left the Yamen.
Zhao Yunhui did not try to persuade him to stay, but directly confirmed that he was his son. Then he spread some news to the outside world, turning Chen Changli's arrival into a story about his son. He was worried about him, so he set out all the way from the capital to find him. .
California City is not as prosperous as Beijing City, but it is located in a location where three rivers pass through it, so California City is relatively prosperous compared to Liang City.
It's just that Pingyang City, not far from California City, is at war. More and more people are coming from Pingyang City every day. No matter how prosperous California City is, it can't accommodate so many people.
Although Chen Changli came out of the Yamen in a heavy mood, he paid special attention to the surrounding situation and naturally discovered that there were many beggars in California City.
These beggars are not only locals from California City, but also people who came from Pingyang City.
Just because California City can't accommodate them, in order to survive, they can only turn into beggars and beg.
Chen Changli saw many old, weak, sick and disabled people begging for a long time without getting a bite of food, and then they just sat in a remote corner waiting to die.
Looking at these people waiting to die, Chen Changli felt very uncomfortable.
This time he didn't bring anything, only some people to help.
Facing the hardship of the people, he was helpless, but after returning to the inn, he thought of Wan Shufang and wrote her a letter.
When he wrote the letter, he originally wanted to write in the letter what Zhao Yunhui told him so that Wan Shufang could know.
But when he was writing, he thought of the emperor's fear of the general's palace, so he gave up the idea.
He only said that he arrived in California City safely, and then saw the poor life of the people and wanted his subordinates to spend some time on it.
The reason why he didn't let his subordinates try their best to find the fourth prince was because he took Zhao Yunhui's words into account.
He also suspected that the fourth prince had fallen into the hands of rebels. If the rebels knew that he was coming, they would most likely use the half of the Xu family's blood relationship to ask him to collaborate with the enemy and rebel, or to follow them in rebellion.
He wanted to delay for some time and then come up with a perfect solution.
"What happened when His Majesty seized the throne? Why is he still so afraid of the Xu family after so many years?"
After writing the letter, Chen Changli had someone send it back to the capital. He thought about Zhao Yunhui's words again, and then a sadness appeared in his brows.
"Dad, were you unwilling to mention Prince Mingde to me back then?"
Chen Changli had an impulse to make everything clear about what happened back then.
However, the emperor still holds great power. If he takes action, I am afraid that the emperor's killing move will come.
Chen Changli did not dare to act rashly. He could only suppress all kinds of inexplicable thoughts in his heart, and then began to wonder what he should do to save his family if the rebels were really the children of Prince Mingde.
He was in California City thinking about ways to protect his family, but Wan Shufang, who was far away in the capital, received his letter a few days later.
Seeing that the letter was full of messages of safety, Wan Shufang was not relieved at all, but became more and more worried.
Just because what Concubine De said a few days ago specifically mentioned one thing, that is, Prince Mingde's wife is a daughter of the Xu family.
At that time, she was only angry that Concubine De wanted to make a deal with her by taking advantage of the queen's indifference to the prince. Afterwards, she thought about Concubine De's words again, and she was startled into a cold sweat all over her body.
However, Chen Changli was not around, so Wan Shufang was holding back the matter and had no way to find anyone to talk to, so she could only think about it at home alone.
Now that she received Chen Changli's letter, she missed Chen Changli even more, and wanted to tell him about Prince Mingde, so that he could secretly send someone to check it out when he was free, otherwise Concubine De might take advantage of Prince Mingde. His wife came to threaten the general's mansion.
Rubbing her brows, Wan Shufang put the letter aside and sighed with a bad expression: "Why are things piling up all at once? I'm so fed up."
