Chapter 133 Rumors and Trust(2/3)
Cheng Zheng smiled: "In ancient times, many kings indulged in pleasure. Even if they have not been in court for more than ten years, there are still many people there, and the affairs of the court are still in good order.
Queen Hua opened her mouth but stopped talking.
She wanted to say that those who did this were basically famous fools.
You can't just learn the good ones and learn the bad ones instead.
But seeing that Cheng Zheng was quite determined, she didn't say much.
There was silence for a moment, neither of them said anything.
It wasn't until a moment later that Queen Hua finally couldn't help but speak: "But Your Majesty, what if Chen Guogong is really...
"That's an army of 400,000...
Yes, a total of 400,000 troops,
This basically accounts for most of Dahua's military strength. Once they rebel, I am afraid that the entire Dahua will change their surnames.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Cheng Zheng shook his head subconsciously, and then he suddenly became more alert: "Why did the Queen say this?"
"Who's talking nonsense in your ears?'
His vision suddenly sharpened, and there was murderous intent in his brows, as if he wanted to kill someone.
Empress Hua was stared at by Cheng Zheng and suddenly became nervous: "It's... the maids and attendants around
"Some servants in charge of purchasing in the palace said that there are reports that Chen Guogong is about to rebel. They say that the reason why Chen Guogong has been stationed at the front line for a long time is to control the military power.
"There is no way Chang'an will rebel!'
Cheng Zheng suddenly changed his color and said angrily: "Immediately kill the talkative villain in the palace with a stick! Let me see who else dares to talk too much!'
He was trying every possible means to isolate himself from outside rumors and try to maintain an independent and quiet environment. But when he looked back, he saw that even his own home had been ransacked.
This is a great guy.
Even his own queen has been affected to this extent, which shows how panicked the people in the palace are now.
While Cheng Zheng was furious, he was also a little frightened.
Rumors cannot be stopped.
Even though he, as the emperor, could theoretically control everything in this great city, he could not control this anxious person after all.
If this continues, can he really stay awake and maintain his trust in Chen An?
Cheng Zheng himself didn’t know,
But he still persisted.
If this continues, the outcome is still unknown.
But fortunately, this severe test did not continue.
Because Chen An is back.
Chen An came back secretly. After returning to Shengjing, his identity was not revealed. He just came to the palace as soon as possible to prepare for an audience.
The moment Chen An's invitation appeared in front of Cheng Zheng, Cheng Zheng could hardly believe his eyes.
And after he was sure, he was filled with joy and many other emotions.
Without any hesitation, he rushed out immediately.
Outside the main hall, attendants were walking everywhere.
Chen An's figure was standing there, still looking around, seeming to be admiring the scenery here.
When Cheng Zheng rushed out of the palace, looking at Cheng Zheng's ecstatic face, Chen An couldn't help but become a little shocked. What's wrong?
We haven’t seen each other for more than two years, why are you so excited all of a sudden?
After Cheng Zheng's excitement lasted for a while, Chen An finally realized what was going on.
This made him a little dumbfounded.
He didn't expect that in order to stabilize the situation there, Cheng Zheng would also be under such tremendous pressure.
Cheng Zheng would do this for him, which Chen An never expected.
Originally, Chen An thought that on his way back to Shengjing, the messenger who summoned him back to Shengjing might have been on the way. Various historical experiences in his previous life told him that most monarchs would do this in this situation.
choose.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zheng resisted the pressure and would rather close the palace door to isolate the inside and outside to ensure that he would not be affected.
This is really shocking.
At this moment, even Chen An, a fisherman of ten thousand years, couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
I was wrong.
It turns out that there are still good bosses in this world who are willing to trust their subordinates.
But he felt ashamed, and he didn't expect that Cheng Zheng also looked extremely ashamed.
After receiving Chen An, he held a banquet in the main hall, and asked his queen to pour wine for Chen An, and personally apologized. "I also ask Chen Guogong to forgive me.'
At the banquet, Queen Hua felt a little ashamed: "I have lived in the palace for a long time and don't know much about the outside world, so I actually listened to the villain's slander and misunderstood Chen Guogong. I really shouldn't have...
"This glass of wine is my toast to you."
Chen An was confused when he heard this. It took him a while to understand what was going on, and he couldn't help but smile on his face: "My queen, you don't have to be like this.
"It's just a slight misunderstanding.'
His face was calm and his expression was extremely understated, showing no sign of anger or excitement at all.
But the more he behaves like this, the more ashamed Cheng Zheng and his wife seem to feel.
So in the end, Chen An couldn't help but wave his hands and sighed: "Everything depends on the deeds but not the heart. When it comes to the heart, there is no perfect person in the world.'
"There are so many rumors outside, it is only normal that His Majesty and the Queen will be affected.
"But for me, I saw that Your Majesty did not hesitate to break with the courtiers for the sake of Chang'an, and even closed the palace gate to isolate the inside and outside. It is rare in ancient times for a king to do this to his ministers.
"How can you not be satisfied that Chang'an can be treated like this by His Majesty?"
He smiled and said, revealing the matter.
Then they began to tell each other what had happened in the past two years.
In the past two years or so, although they had exchanged letters with each other, the content of the letters was limited after all. It was impossible to explain everything one by one, and there were still large gaps.
And these vacancies, taking advantage of this opportunity, can be filled through exchanges.
"So, there are still many people on the front lines who want the King of Thailand?'
Cheng Zheng frowned and couldn't help but ask.
"good.
Chen An nodded: "When I first arrived at the front line, I studied a lot of previous records and asked many surviving captains and veterans. I found that the reason why many people were defeated miserably was not their combat strength, but that there were always people there.
Internal rebellion.
"In the meantime, there are many famous families, and the local big families are working for the King of Thailand, so that they are restricted everywhere and cannot compete at all." "So Chang'an, you destroyed all the famous families in Meizhou?"
Cheng Zheng couldn't help but smile: "While you were doing this, many ministers were impeaching you.'
"I must admit that this trick is indeed a little underhanded, but it is too effective.'
Chen An couldn't help but laugh: "Those aristocratic families have too much property. After confiscating them, not only are most of the problems in Meizhou solved directly, but also a lot of fields are freed up for cultivation. It is really easy.
"Think about it, I'm not His Majesty anyway, so I'll just do it.
Indeed, only Chen An can do this.
As for Cheng Zheng, as the emperor, if he dares to do what Chen An did, it will inevitably cause a large number of people to backlash.
His status was too high, so he couldn't personally end such offending things like murder.
"Ha ha.'
There was a smile on Cheng Zheng's serious face: "So, Meizhou is now a blank slate for painting, and all the hidden dangers on it have been eliminated by Chang'an?"
"Although there are still some problems, it can be said that.'
Chen An thought for a moment, then nodded.
After two years of purges, basically on the front line, some people in the army who were loyal to the King of Thailand have been purged. After two years of training, the soldiers have gradually become elite.
Those big local businesses that might cause trouble were basically cleaned up by Chen An.
There may still be some restless people lurking, but they can no longer affect anything.
It can be said that the internal strength has been almost repaired.
Chen An has almost finished all the things that offended people.
On the other hand, on the King of Thailand's side, due to the passage of time, many internal problems and hidden dangers have arisen.
