No
Emperor Chen lost his mind for a moment, and he recovered his calm the next moment. He pushed the Wei Jian away, stood up, and said with a blue face: Summon Wang Xiang, Minister of War Lu Ding,..., General Ling Wu, the General of the Left Jinyu Guard, entered the palace...
Except for the Wang Xiang, all these people were generals with real power. When they heard the names of the people Chen Huang read, Wei Jian's expression became serious.
He looked at the little eunuch and said: All eunuchs were ordered to leave the palace and immediately summoned these adults into the palace!
The emperor summoned all the ministers and usually sent eunuchs to send eunuchs out of the palace, but in most cases, only one person would be sent at a time, and all eunuchs sent to summon all the eunuchs out of the palace were summoned for the first time.
The first time I realized that the situation was serious was the Hanlin Courtyard, which was located in the palace.
A Hanlin reader looked at the direction of the imperial study and said in shock: What's going on? Why did Your Majesty summon such a great general today!
Although the General of the Sixteen Guards does not hold real power on weekdays, they do not care about the government affairs, and the specific affairs are left to the General and General of the Central Army, each of the General of the Sixteen Guards is a legendary figure in the army. This is the first time he has seen so many legends appear in the palace at the same time.
The Hanlin Bachelor walked out of the Hanlin Academy quickly, looked at the several backs appearing in front of him, and a hint of worry appeared on his face, and said: I'm afraid something is going to happen...
In the imperial study, Wang Xiang, Lu Ding, and several generals looked extremely solemn.
A few days ago, the central government held a heated discussion on the continued expansion of Wanyan's troops and the gradual rise of Xiaowan in the Western Regions. However, due to the fact that the situation was not urgent, all officials did not take it seriously. After being delayed by Feng Xiang and Jiangnan officials, the matter was completely put on hold.
Unexpectedly, in just over a month, when I heard the news about the grassland and the Western Regions, it was already shocking.
The Wanyan tribe of the grassland and the Xiaowan Kingdom of the Western Regions wanted to disrupt the northwest, and the remnants of the Liang Kingdom in Jiangnan were rebelling. Under the attack of the north and south, Chen had no time to take care of it.
The Northwest has been a great enemy in the Central Plains since ancient times, and heavy troops must be deployed to defend. In this way, Jiangnanji may be lost, Jiangnan has fallen, and Chen State loses its money and food support. Once a stalemate with the Northwest, the national treasury will be empty sooner or later. At that time, the huge Chen State will probably suffer the disaster of the destruction of the country.
In recent years, although the State of Chen has been constantly chaotic with the grassland, it has stabilized in the past two years, and the country is even more stable and the people live in peace. Who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, it was already the time for life and death...
Lu Ding bowed and said: Your Majesty, the northwest is a key place, and there is no need to be misunderstood. The Ministry of War will use the fastest speed to raise arms and reinforce the northwest...
Ling Wu continued: Shazhou and Suzhou are incomparable to the north, and there are insufficient troops stationed. We should immediately dispatch troops to defend against the Xiaowan change...
Wang Xiang looked solemn and said: Your Majesty, there are abnormal movements in the grassland. If the court increases its troops, it should immediately send envoys to notify the State of Chu for help. This is a perfect solution!
……
The issues of the Western Regions and Grassland have been discussed countless times in the court, and there have been mature countermeasures, but Chen State has been very hard to deal with the grasslands and the Western Regions at the same time, and he has no ability to take care of Jiangnan anymore.
After Emperor Chen issued several orders, Wang Xiang raised his head and said: Your Majesty, the grasslands in the Western Regions can be stopped, but the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River...
Emperor Chen's expression was a little slow and said: In his secret letter, Tang Aiqing said that Jiangnan was under his control and would not be in trouble. Just ask the court to defend the northwest well...
Wang Xiang was relieved and said: Since Lord Tang said that, Your Majesty can rest assured.
Chen State is not weak. If it weren't for being caught off guard by the Western Regions and the Grasslands, it would be aware that it would not be in a passive situation in a short period of time.
Of course, the premise is that Jiangnan can serve as a solid backing for the Central Plains and there will be no chaos.
After arranging all this, Chen Huang breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: I hope he will not let me down...
Your Majesty, no need to worry. Wei Jian smiled and said: Lord Tang has always been targeted. He said that Jiangnan has nothing to do, and Jiangnan will definitely be nothing to do. Your Majesty will sit in the palace and wait for his good news...

Runzhou
Bai Family
As one of the four major families, the Bai family is strong and has countless followers. At this time, in the Bai family, many wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen in Runzhou were crowded in the hall. The atmosphere was extremely noisy.
President Bai, the court is not going to give us a way out, what should we do?
Merchants are also human beings, and the court is a bit too much!
It’s President Ah, please say something!
……
Each of the four major families has its own chamber of commerce. The head of the Bai family is the president of the Bai Chamber of Commerce and the backbone of many chambers of commerce members.
The head of the Bai family looked at them and said: Please don’t be impatient. What you hear is all about catching things without any basis. Don’t be confused.
So many people have been caught and their homes are searched. Is there any fake?
Jiangnan West Road has passed, and it’s our turn next...
We can't wait to die...
……
When the atmosphere became noisy again, the head of the Bai family patted the table and said: Don't worry, Bai will follow up closely in this matter. Before this, I hope you don't be impatient, and don't believe in rumors and follow the crowd...
The head of the Bai family is still very prestigious in the eyes of everyone. After he settled down by the gentry and wealthy families, they left Bai Mansion one by one.
Before the head of the Bai family breathed a sigh of relief, the servant of the Bai family came to report, please see Mr. Xiao of the Xiao family.
Although the Xiao family started late, it developed very quickly. Now it can be ranked alongside the four major families. The head of the Bai family did not neglect and said: Please come in.
Prince Qian walked into the hall, and the head of the Bai family came to greet him and said: Mr. Xiao is here, and Bai is missing the welcome...
The Prince of Qian smiled and said: "Hello, Master Bai, please be polite."
The two of them took a seat. After a few greetings, the head of the Bai family looked at him and asked: Mr. Xiao is here today, because of the court's attitude towards Jiangnan?
The Prince of Qian was stunned. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, the head of the Bai family entered the topic by himself, which somewhat disrupted his plan.
Soon he calmed down and nodded: Yes, I don’t know what the head of the Bai family thinks about this matter?
The head of the Bai family sighed and said: Mr. Xiao must have seen it too. The imperial court did this and the chamber of commerce was in chaos, and Bai also had a headache...
The Prince of Qian looked at him and said seriously: Jiangnan provided money and food for the court, but the court treated Jiangnan like this. What's the point of being loyal to such a court? Since they are not kind, don't blame us for being unrighteous. At worst, overthrow them and Jiangnan becomes independent...
The head of the Bai family looked shocked and said: Mr. Xiao, you cannot say such words randomly. The court pacified Jiangnan and was easy to do, and rebelled would be a way to die...
The Prince of Qian smiled mysteriously and said: If at this time, the Western Regions and the grasslands were attacking in large numbers, the court had no time to take care of it, and Jiangnan took advantage of the situation and attacked the north and south, how long could the Chen court last?
The head of the Bai family looked at him and said in disbelief: Could it be...
good
The Prince of Qian nodded and said: We have joined forces with the Wanyan tribe and the Xiaowan Kingdom of the Western Regions. When the uprising in Jiangnan is successful, they will send troops immediately. At that time, will the court still have the energy to take care of us?
The head of the Bai family looked at him and said: But just because of you, even if the incident in Jiangnan is not easy to succeed...
The Prince of Qian looked at him and smiled and said: To be honest, more than half of the prefectures in the east of Jiangnan have been controlled by us. Does the Bai family still think we do not have this strength?
The head of the Bai family stood up in shock and asked: Do you think this is true?
The Prince of Qian said calmly: I will not lie on such a thing
The head of the Bai family looked at him and said: If it is an irrelevant prefecture, it will be of no use to uprising. I wonder if Mr. Xiao, which states do you control?
The Prince of Qian smiled and said: Taizhou, Yuezhou, Jianzhou...
These prefectures are all important prefectures in the east of Jiangnan. The head of the Bai family changed his expression. He looked at him and asked: Mr. Xiao came to the Bai family this time. Do you want my Bai family to help you in the uprising?
The Prince of Qian looked at him and asked: What are the Bai family’s ideas?
The head of the Bai family looked at him and asked: Do we have any choice in our Bai family?
The Prince of Qian smiled and said: No
The head of the Bai family shook his head helplessly, clasped his fists and said: Since that's the case..., the Bai family will only follow the leader of the Xiao family in the future!
The Prince of Qian looked at him and said: As long as the Bai family sincerely helps me, the Xiao family will never treat you badly in the future...
After finalizing this matter, the two had a secret conversation for a long time before the prince of Qian left the Bai family.
The negotiation with the Bai family was much easier than the Su family. It was so smooth that it even made him feel a bit fake. But if you think about it carefully, in the face of absolute strength, if the Bai family wants to protect themselves, they can only surrender.
A smile appeared on his face, as if he had seen the scene of occupying Jiangnan, entering Guizhou, restoring the Liang Kingdom, destroying Chen Pingchu, conquering the Western Regions of the Grassland and flattening the Western Fan...
At the same time, inside the Bai Mansion
The head of the Bai family walked around the back hall, and there was no more shock on his face. He bowed to a young man sitting and drinking tea, and said: Lord Tang, according to the prince of Qian, Taizhou, Yuezhou, Jianzhou... has fallen into their hands. Lord Tang should take precautions early.
Emperor Chen lost his mind for a moment, and he recovered his calm the next moment. He pushed the Wei Jian away, stood up, and said with a blue face: Summon Wang Xiang, Minister of War Lu Ding,..., General Ling Wu, the General of the Left Jinyu Guard, entered the palace...
