The majestic imperial city seems to be a giant beast that is about to wake up, and a few lights seem to be its eyes, checking Tai'an's movements.

The lights in the study room were lit up until late at night, when they went dark.

The morning bell rang, the figures floated, all with some festive meaning, His Majesty the Emperor, the smile on his face was much more than usual, after a night, it seemed that everyone knew that it was because His Royal Highness the Prince, who had disappeared for a long time, entered the imperial city yesterday.

......

Tai'anli wants to say that in addition to the one who can choke His Majesty the Emperor, there are only two people, and there must be one more person after Chen Jingcang comes at this time.

One was the founding general who was over seventy years old, and at this time, the wrinkled old face was full of thick smiles, and he smiled and walked towards a tall and majestic man.

The man looked to be in his early forties, but he was actually not as young as he appeared to be, his steps were very large, and the old general walked a few steps quickly to catch up, and said with a smile: "Lian Donghai, what did His Majesty the Emperor say just now?"

Lian Donghai squinted at Rao Buhe, and said with a smile: "What else can you think, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back, isn't the intention obvious?"

"Don't give the old man a sloppy look!"

Lian Donghai changed the topic and said: "Why did you come to the court today, didn't you get angry with His Majesty the Emperor a few days ago? I said that if I didn't let you go back to my hometown, I would die in the main hall! Why didn't I see you mention half a sentence today?"

The old general stretched out his hand and pointed at Lian Donghai and scolded: "Think Lao Tzu can't beat you when he's old?"

Lian Donghai smiled and dodged the kick, stood in the distance and said, "The general and I are not the same as back then. ”

As soon as the words came out, the old general was suddenly silent, and walked a few steps and said, "You mean?"

Lian Donghai turned around with a smile and said, "Old general, we are different!"

Rao stayed in place for a while, and then chased after the figure that had walked out of the distance, and scolded: "You bastard, dare to say this about Lao Tzu!"

Laughter came from afar, and the old general chased for a while before he stopped panting, and waited for a long time to recover his breath, and then walked towards the outside of the palace again.

After all, it is not as good as it was back then, the young man who was a very human minister also learned to dodge his kick at this time, I still remember the first time I saw it, the enthusiasm in the eyes of the young man was clearly visible, and now, I am not as young as I was back then, and I kicked out the kick myself, how many people in Tai'an dare to hide?

Now that he is really old, even his grandson is about to become a father, sighed, and got into the carriage that had been arranged outside the city a long time ago.

The old general had a very pleasant quarrel with His Majesty the Emperor a few days ago, and the two quarreled in the main hall, if it weren't for the mediation of Lian Donghai, I am afraid that the old general would really crash to death in the main hall.

The resignation letter in his hand today is still in his cuffs, and he has not handed it over for a long time, not because he is obsessed with this status, but because His Majesty the Emperor is unwilling to let go, but he is old, and he has to pant for breath when he walks a few steps, and there is no reason to do anything else to occupy the position of this general and not let go.

The emperor is a good emperor, but in half a month it will be his seventieth birthday, and at such an age, it is time to retire.

On the main hall that day, the old general pointed to His Majesty the Emperor and scolded: "The old minister has been busy for you for most of his life, and he is still not satisfied?

His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said, "If it weren't for the fact that your sons and grandsons had all gone to study, and you pulled one up at random, I would have pinched my nose and admit it, and you would have seen for yourself what sons and grandsons you had born?

"Your Majesty, I don't agree with what you say, what's wrong with a scholar? Your Majesty looks down on you so much?"

"Don't wrap up the old man, Your Majesty, I really want to talk to you, you see that at my age, I can't stand steadily, what am I doing to serve Da Chu? If Your Majesty is really so persecuted, then the old minister will die on the top of the main hall today. ”

"General, general, can you have a little bearing? I will talk to you about things, why do you talk about seeking death?"

"Your Majesty, you're forcing the old minister to death! Why doesn't Your Majesty want to invite that old stubborn man from Bingzhou to Tai'an?"

Chen Zidong sneered and said: "At most, one year, no, two years, three years, if the old general wants to retire after three years, I will definitely agree." ”

Rao Bu did not hesitate to fight all his life, after entering Tai'an, he hung this rank of general for decades, and he was already a great general in the hands of the emperor, and it is still like this, what is the body is not good, there are real reasons, and the biggest reason is that Da Chu is really a peaceful and prosperous era now, how can there be any big wars, and these years have led this position coveted by many people, and there is still some instability in my heart.

Da Chu is full of talents, and it is not impossible to choose a thick and stable person to take this position, but His Majesty the Emperor has to let himself stay in this position, and it is barren.

In the world where there is no beacon fire, on the literati stage, the general really does not have much weight, and most of his children and grandchildren are scholars, so there are people who can take his place. The brocade box containing the tiger talisman in his hand was now covered with dust.

Everyone calls him a general, and he has been used to it for so many years, but on the surface, he is the founding generalissimo of the former emperor, and a few years ago, Chen Zidong gave him a useless big pillar country, any title can scare people half to death, but he feels a little heavy on his back.

In Chen Zidong's words: "Capable people work hard, generals should be old and strong, and they can afford to carry the great Chu Jiangshan." ”

The old general sighed and said, "The old minister is tired, let's talk about it another day." ”

Da Chu is extremely generous to his subordinates, and Chen Zidong is an emperor who can listen to advice, although there is a quarrel in the court, but the atmosphere is still good, today's morning court is earlier than in the past, and after the Ministry of Rites confirmed the progress of the prince's ceremony, he dispersed the ministers, and kept a few words with Lian Donghai.

The meaning is also very brief, that is, tomorrow it will be officially announced that the prince will enter the court, move to the East Palace, and hold the prince's order.

And the Shoufu Lord who is only in his early forties, there are many theories about how His Majesty the Emperor arranged, and the implication of the sentence that Rao Bu said before: "We are different," is obvious.

The general is old, there is no posterity, and the first assistant is in the same year, how can it be restricted?

After all, Chen Jingcang is immature in the court, how can he fight against that group of old ministers, Chen Zidong knows a lot about this, and he will clear everything when he registers, it can be said that the Shoufu Lord who is only in his early forties has made great contributions to this prosperous Chu, but it is also this merit that makes people in the world think that Chen Zidong will be a little jealous.

In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, how to control such a capable minister has become something that many people have to think about at this time.

The direction of the court has begun to change since the prince returned to Tai'an, and the thoughts that many people have long hidden in their hearts have begun to gradually reveal.

When Chen Zidong was in power, he could still press it, but Chen Zidong's behavior of leaving Lian Donghai just now gave many people a lot of reverie, and of course, it was also mixed with a lot of nonsense.

Although many people know that Chen Zidong will not touch the East China Sea at this time, they are not sure in the future, after all, no one knows whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the same measure as His Majesty the Emperor now.

Originally, he still wanted to be polite to Lian Donghai, but except for the old general who was already trembling when he walked, no one dared to step forward and say a few words.

People's hearts have been like this since ancient times, even the East China Sea does not mind, he has long tasted the cold eyes of the world, the court bloody killing, he is like an old monk without sorrow and joy, and he got into the carriage home by himself.

The voices of discussion in twos and threes were only dispersed in the back of his mind after he left in the car.

In the carriage, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and for some reason, he laughed silently.

Rising from a messy court, now the little wind and waves can make him feel the slightest move.

I can trust His Majesty the Emperor of Dachu, and I can trust His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has never met yet, and I have no fear in my heart.

The carriage and horse are very slow, and it took more than an hour to arrive at his house, the house is deserted, and Lian Donghai's own temperament, and because of his deliberate alienation of loyal ministers, although Da Chu has a Ming lord, but he also has to be a lonely minister!

Lian Donghai, who got out of the carriage, saw a person standing outside the door, and the man also saw him, walked towards him, and then rubbed his hands to the end, and said, "Chen Jingcang has seen Lord Shoufu!"

In all dynasties, the crown prince was restricted from having too many friendships with foreign ministers, but Da Chu's situation was special, and Chen Jingcang, who was destined to sit on that dragon chair, did not have many concerns.

Privately meeting the head of the dynasty, in the normal royal family, he would have to be played a book and put on some kind of rebellious hat, but Chen Jingcang was not afraid, he came with a swagger, and his posture was extremely low.

The young man who reported himself to his home made him stunned for a while, and only after knowing that he knew the identity of the young man in front of him did he think about helping him up, and took a step back to salute.

Chen Jingcang took a step ahead of him, stretched out his hand to support his bowing arm, and said with a smile: "My father asked me to come for two things. ”

Even Donghai did not continue to be formal, and asked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please speak!"

"First, I want Mr. Jing Cangbai to be my teacher. ”

Lian Donghai looked at Chen Jingcang, was silent for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty's will should be accepted!"

Having said that, Chen Jingcang knew the meaning, he said that it was the emperor's meaning, and even Donghai followed the emperor's arrangement, which was very particular.

Chen Jingcang didn't care, and then said, "Second, he said that I would personally come to the door to propose marriage and marry Mr. and his second daughter." ”

Lian Donghai shook his head with a smile: "Your Majesty raises love, although the minister is afraid, but this marriage cannot be agreed." ”

"Sir doesn't believe me?"

Lian Donghai didn't answer directly, but said flatly: "The crown prince has a respected status, and there will be no one in the world who has ascended the throne so smoothly as His Royal Highness, how can anyone not believe it!"

"Sir, what do you mean by that?" asked Chen Jingcang.

"Your Highness, you should know where I am! Even Donghai asked himself to such a point that there was no way to advance, and there was no more name behind me, and I didn't want to ask for it. ”

"How can Sir accept me as a protégé sincerely?"

"When Your Highness thinks about it!"
