Chen Changli was thoughtful after hearing this, and soon thought of the source of Zhao Xu's worries.

Anxiety surged in his heart, but he suppressed it for a moment.

"If I guess correctly, Mr. Zhao will become very anxious and even want to seek advice from me because His Majesty is somewhat unable to control the current court."

Chen Changli's words stirred up waves, and Wan Shufang immediately looked at him with wide-eyed pupils.

Confirming that he was serious, Wan Shufang held her breath subconsciously.

After a while, she slowed down her breathing and said with a confused look on her face: "Your Majesty has so many calculations, isn't it because he doesn't want to be the king of subjugation? What you and the prince did in the Western Region happened to defeat some of the plans of the anti-traitor Yuanzhou. He felt that Da Jing was no longer in danger of being destroyed, and began to think of ways to plot against his two sons to regain his throne and power. "

"Judging from what is happening so far, His Majesty's calculation is just right, and he has taken back everything he owns. Logically speaking, he has so many plans, he must be able to completely control the court. Why do you say that he cannot control the court. "

"Zhao Xu didn't say anything happened in the court. He only said that His Majesty was angry. He was a little worried that His Majesty would take his anger out on him, so he wanted to find a way out."

When Wan Shufang mentioned the word "way out", she was afraid that a jailer would come over and hear her, so she looked both ways.

When she was sure there was no one there, she didn't let out a sigh of relief. Instead, her heart lifted into her throat even more.

"That Mr. Zhao is also from a noble family. Although his father is not in Luoyang City, there are many people in his family serving as officials in the court. Although the official positions are not large, the combination of these people is quite powerful."

"If Mr. Zhao is serious, he can discuss matters with these people. There is no need for him to come to you, and he should not mention the prince in front of you."

Wan Shufang suspected that Zhao Xu had ulterior motives, and what he said today might be a test.

"Although Zhao Xu is the son of Zhao Yunhui and is about the same age as me, he has been living under the protection of Zhao Yunhui before, and the generals have been suppressed by His Majesty."

Chen Changli was stunned by Wan Shufang's suspicion, and then after thinking about it, he felt that Zhao Xu could not be here to test him.

If he had such thoughts, how could Zhao Yunhui still weigh between the fourth prince and the emperor at his old age.

Although he chose the emperor in the end, the reason why he indulged the fourth prince was that he believed that the fourth prince was very loved by the emperor and might fight with the prince in the future.

Zhao Xu is essentially a military commander who hates evil and hates evil. The emperor's actions over the past year have completely provoked the bottom line in Zhao Xu's heart.

If Zhao Yunhui hadn't been sent to the border, Zhao Xu might have lost his temper and even quit his job as an official.

"Zhao Yunhui is a smart man. He knows how to prevent Zhao Xu from being feared by His Majesty like him, so he must have mixed some of his own ideas when teaching Zhao Xu."

"Zhao Xu has been taught by him, and he himself knows what some of His Majesty's arrangements are. He will not test me just for the little speculation in his heart."

After Chen Changli finished speaking about his thoughts about Zhao Xu, he looked at Wan Shufang, his tone was gentle and full of self-blame: "What happened during this period is probably because of my return. In other words, you will be His majesty scolded me for not being good at medicine because of me."

When Wan Shufang heard what Chen Changli said, she quickly stretched out her hand to hold him and said with stern eyes: "You and I are husband and wife, even if my medical skills are really great and I can snatch Prince Duan and the Fourth Prince away from the hands of the King of Hell. Your Majesty will also find excuses to scold me, and then let you be punished for my plea. "

"The person Your Majesty is targeting is me." Chen Changli sighed, "Although His Majesty has returned to the throne, the escape of the Sixth and Ninth Princes has told all the civil and military officials that His Majesty is really old. "

"He is too old to control everything like before. All civil and military officials have their own clansmen and their own selfish motives. Your Majesty wants to test them, so why don't they want to test His Majesty? If the two test each other, there will be trouble. "

"I think His Majesty got angry in the court because he discovered that these civil and military officials had other ideas. Maybe he also discovered that these people had already arranged for their own family members to join the Sixth and Ninth Princes."

Speaking of the two princes who had fled Luoyang City, Chen Changli always felt that a storm was coming, and he could more and more understand where Zhao Xu's uneasiness came from.

He suggested that Zhao Xu start with Princess An Qing, and he also believed that Princess An Qing's move to leave with the eighth prince at this critical moment was to cover up something.

Princess An Qing hated the emperor and his wife so much that she didn't even care about Wulan's affairs and took the fake prince back to Dajing. This already showed that she came back with hatred.

In order to take revenge on the emperor and his wife, she would definitely try her best, but the fake prince was exposed by the queen. Not only was she not angry, she also deliberately pretended that she knew nothing and continued to flatter the emperor and his wife. This was too confident.

What surprised Chen Changli was that the emperor and his wife did not do anything to her, as if they had long known the purpose of Princess An Qing's return, but turned a blind eye to some of the things she did for their own purposes. Eye.

Chen Changli initially thought that the emperor and his wife wanted to use Princess An Qing to find out the situation in the Western Region, and then find a way to catch all the rebels. Unexpectedly, they would let Princess An Qing leave with the eighth prince.

The eighth prince is the son of Concubine De. Concubine De has a good relationship with Princess An Qing. Shouldn't the emperor and the queen find ways to prevent their union?

There was a doubt in his heart, and Chen Changli felt more and more that Zhao Xu's nervousness was really because of some of the emperor's actions.

It's a pity that Zhao Xu didn't mention to him what measures the emperor took after taking back power, how the civil and military officials behaved, and why did the emperor get angry?

They have been with the emperor for many years and are the people who know the emperor best. Now they are trying to make small moves under the emperor's nose. Why does it feel like they are playing a game with the emperor?

Chen Changli's thoughts changed rapidly, and he suddenly wanted to understand something, and his expression could not help but tremble.

Seeing some changes in his expression, Wan Shufang asked worriedly: "What are you thinking about?"

Chen Changli said thoughtfully: "I'm wondering why these civil and military officials make Zhao Xu feel uneasy."

Wan Shufang had a guess: "Didn't you just say that they were secretly supporting the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince? Maybe their affairs were exposed. After Zhao Xu found out, he was worried that this matter would implicate him, so he became panicked. ”

Chen Changli felt that what Wan Shufang said was reasonable, but considering the temperament of those civil and military officials, he felt that this possibility was unlikely.

"They are all old foxes. How could they expose their affairs? Unless they were betrayed by someone, which made Zhao Xu panic."
