Chapter 1643: balance
"Prime Minister, what do you say?"
Facing the push of the Manchu civil and military walls, Emperor Chen finally spoke to Guo Yi.
The voice was low, no happiness or anger could be seen, and no one could guess what Emperor Chen thought deep down in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the veteran is willing to accept the crime for Chen Fan, please descend the veteran to know the crime of unknown people!"
At this time, Guo Yi's choice was to lead the crime in place of Chen Fan. He wanted to use his body to block the sight of others from spying on Chen Fan.
But at this time, how can Chen Jingxuan make him do what he wants?
"Father, the sons and ministers think Chen Fan is the culprit in this matter. If Chen Fan is not convicted of death, I am afraid that the people will say that my royal family takes Chen Lu as a trifling matter!"
What Chen Jingxuan didn't know was that when he jumped out, it could be said that he had offended all the people in Shang Shutai.
After all, what he meant was that he only needed to deal with Chen Fan's charges immediately, without involving Guo Yi.
Isn't this against Chen Yi?
And working against Chen Yi is tantamount to working at the Monk Bookstore, suitable for the Chen clan who is now in unprecedented power!
Anything, as long as interest is involved, brothers can turn their faces, let alone a trivial clan.
If in normal times, Chen Jingxuan would not be so stupid.
It's just that he wanted to kill Chen Fan too much this time, so he ignored this matter.
When his voice fell, Chen's appearance changed immediately. He gave Chen Jingxuan a deep look and then lowered his head.
It can be seen that he was completely disappointed with this prince.
It was not that the prince was obstructing his way in a narrow way, but Chen Jingxuan even dared to stand up against such a general trend and what everyone expected. This was irrational.
And if you want to become the king of a country, the first thing you need to do is to stay sensible all the time, and keep the sensibility that makes you chill!
If everything is arrogant, how can you talk about national affairs?
As a result, the negotiations between the two parties' own forces have completely fallen into a stalemate.
First of all, Shang Shutai wants to get rid of Guo Yi who is blocking them, and Guo Yi wants to save Chen Fan with his own wealth and life.
However, Chen Jingxuan inadvertently protected Guo Yi when he fell into the pit.
The situation above the temple suddenly became a mess, no one was prepared to compromise, no one could give in!
And this is the time to embody the importance of an emperor. As long as Emperor Chen speaks, he will calm down and warn at the same time, sort out the mess, and find a solution that is beneficial to most people.
So what approach is beneficial to most people?
First of all, Guo Yi must not fall!
Emperor Chen does not want Guo Yi to fall!
why?
Because Emperor Chen wanted to suppress Shang Shutai with Guo Yi's qualifications as a veteran of the two dynasties!
As long as Guo Yi is there, even if he doesn't have much power, Shang Shutai will probably be a rat, and dare not act recklessly.
Still, Guo Yi fell, and the civil servant with the highest seniority in the field immediately became Chen Yi. I am afraid that Emperor Chen will be emptied in the next moment.
Although he is now a semi-overhead emperor.
When Emperor Chen had just succeeded to the throne, he originally wanted to contain Guo Yi, the prime minister who was in power in the past, so he personally supported Shangshutai, and it only started with his own clan family members.
But now, Shangshutai has grown into a behemoth, and they also have a strength that outsiders don't possess!
Their surname is Chen!
This surname alone can lead to many conspiracies, so Emperor Chen at this moment has to guard against it!
In his whole life, he was actually looking for a balance, a balance between a civil and military official, various forces, clan relatives, ruling and opposition parties, and gentry.
It's just a pity that Emperor Chen didn't do a good job. It can even be said that this semi-overhead situation is all caused by him.
Don't look at Emperor Chen always can't understand the naivety of his prince Chen Jingxuan. In fact, he was no better than Chen Jingxuan now.
If it weren't for him to be more cruel, and if he didn't know how to seize opportunities, everything might have changed greatly.
