Chapter 50: Crisis in Peace

The girl walked happily, but she did not find the person she wanted to see in the courtyard.

Grabbing a teenager at random, Lu Ying asked, "Where is Brother Chen?"

"Oh, big brother, he just went out!"

"Going out again?" Lu Ying's heart was shocked, and her body involuntarily wanted to run towards the gate.

"Yes! Someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion just now took the eldest brother away!"

"Oh......" Lu Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Lu Ying's steps became brisk again.

Xu Chen rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a carriage from the comer, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Xu Fan walking out of the gate.

"Get in the car and follow me into the palace!"

The body that had just bent down had no choice but to straighten up again, and reluctantly followed into the carriage next to him.

"It's all at the door, and I don't even drink saliva!" As soon as he got into the carriage, Xu Chen couldn't help but complain.

Xu Fan's eyes widened slightly, and he glanced at him lightly: "There is a teapot in the drawer on your right, which was just brewed in the morning." ”

"It's cold?" Xu Chen frowned: "I don't drink it cold, it's cold and hurts my stomach!"

Xu Fan's eyelids twitched, and he said coldly: "Then bear with it!"

“…… It's been more than a day since people came to Chang'an, and they didn't let them in, their parents didn't go to see them, and the two brothers had to scold people for not knowing how to be polite......"

"This time into the palace...... It's a good thing!" Xu Fan said with a calm face.

"Really?" Xu Chen's eyes immediately lit up.

"Really!" Xu Fan's head darkened, and he gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Oh mom! Teacher, you said it earlier! I'm scared to death!" Xu Chen immediately bent down, quickly opened the drawer, took out the copper teapot, and drank it directly to his mouth.

After drinking for a while, he let out a hearty moan: "Cool!"

Xu Fan looked at him coldly, and said lightly: "Aren't you afraid of hurting your stomach?"

"Hurt your stomach, hurt your stomach?" Xu Chen looked dazed.

"......" Xu Fan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"Teacher, what's a good thing? Reveal something!" Xu Chen immediately leaned forward with a shy face.

"The Holy One wants to see you!

"Why do you see me?" Xu Chen immediately sat up straight, leaning back, with a vigilant expression.

Xu Fan looked at him with interest and chuckled, "Didn't you go to Beijing to report on your work!

"Although I don't read much, you can't deceive me!" Xu Chen said seriously: "Foreign officials who go to Beijing to report on their work have always been contacted by the Ministry of Officials, and only a very small number of feudal officials can get the opportunity to meet the saints. Although I am in the name of the envoy of the festival, I am only a five-grade official, and the saint has all the opportunities, how can I remember me?"

"Don't be so modest! a dozen people can drag thousands of people and be unharmed, this ability is not something that everyone has, and it deserves to be seen by the saint!"

"Who said he was unharmed?" Xu Chen refuted solemnly: "He obviously had a lot of nosebleeds from the stone!"

Xu Fan looked at him coldly.

Xu Chen immediately raised his fist with one hand, and said righteously: "I will always be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Hehe, it's useless to tell me this!

"I ...... Can I not go? I ...... Alas, this tea was too cold just now! No, no, no, it's going to be pulled, it's going to be pulled! Stop! Stop! Stop!" Xu Chen covered his stomach with one hand and slapped the carriage vigorously with the other.

The corners of Xu Fan's mouth raised, and he sneered: "There is a commode in the cabinet on your left!"

"You...... Why do you have everything in this car! I'm eating and drinking with you, and I'm all in the car!"

Xu Fan closed his eyes again.

In the end, it was not good to take off his pants immediately and strain, Xu Chen, who was depressed, had no choice but to hang his head and sit resignedly.

The carriage crossed the Jinshui Bridge and stopped in front of the Suzaku Gate.

This time, it was not difficult, and the forbidden army guarding saw that it was Xu Fan, and quickly opened the door to let him go.

Yesterday's purge was completed, but this morning's martial law in the imperial city had not been completely removed, and soldiers with a long feather on their heads could be seen everywhere riding horses to patrol the past.

Occasionally, a few soldiers on horseback saw Xu Chen who was following behind Xu Fan, and immediately let out a warm smile and saluted with fists from afar.

Xu Chen had some impressions, thinking that he was one of the 500 people who followed him out of the palace yesterday to quell the chaos, and he saw the real blood in his hands, and his credit was much higher than that of the people next to him.

Xu Chen forced a smile on his face, and returned the salute one by one, he really wanted to meet acquaintances along the way, and five hundred people returned the salute, perhaps it was already past the time to receive him.

It's just that luck will be so good, it didn't take long to go, and Hanyuan Hall was close at hand.

Xu Fan went in first, and it didn't take long to see a scarlet-robed eunuch walk out of the hall, shouting in the voice of the duck gong: "Xuan Ryukyu Festival envoy Xu Chen to meet!"

Xu Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet, hunched over, and walked in small steps all the way.

"Weichen Ryukyu Festival envoy Xu Chen, meet Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Xu Chen knelt down, the boss was reluctant, so he had to comfort himself in his heart: "Forget it, this kneel down, dig up your corner in the future, and we will clear the two of us!"

It's just that Xu Chen's words made Li Longji on the throne a little surprised.

The sycophants are too direct!

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty still had to nod his face, unlike the Qing Dynasty, for fear that he would not live long, so he asked everyone to remind him to live hard and enjoy hard!

At first glance, when he heard this naked sycophant, Li Longji's heart was big, and he couldn't help but be happy: "Flat!

Xu Fan, who was standing on the side, looked at Xu Chen and frowned slightly.

"What kind of moth do you want to do with this kid?"

Xu Chen, who didn't know that he had been severely poisoned by the Qing Palace, stood up with an ignorant face.

Li Longji, who was on the throne, looked Xu Chen up and down, and couldn't help but praise: "Okay! Okay! It's really a hero and a teenager! At a young age, his ability is really not small!"

"Your Majesty has a good reputation, and Wei Chen is ashamed!" Xu Chen hurriedly lowered his body again, looking terrified.

"Praise you and bear it! A young man should look like a young man!" he pointed to Xu Fan next to him, and scolded with a smile: "Don't follow your teacher, keep a straight face all day long, as if someone owes him money!"

"Poof!" Xu Chen couldn't help laughing: "What the Holy Lord said is extremely right! Teacher, he has such a face, it is estimated that he can't change it in this life!haha......"

Since the boss of the family wants to take the cordial route and get closer to the relationship, Xu Chen is naturally as good as a stream.

"The battle in the south is not easy to fight, is it? I heard that the soldiers you brought are not small! You have won a few beautiful battles!"

After greeting a few sentences, it naturally turned to "work".

Hearing this, Xu Chen hurriedly bowed down again, clasped his fists and saluted: "That's all relying on the Holy Grace and the soldiers' lives, and Weichen actually didn't play much of a role!"

"Slippery head!" Li Longji stretched out his hand and nodded at Xu Chen, and scolded with a smile: "You little slippery head! Who can learn this at a young age!"

"Weichen doesn't dare! Everything Weichen said is from the bottom of his heart!" Xu Chen hurriedly lowered his head.

Li Longji sighed lightly and shook his head slightly: "That's it! Don't talk about it!"

Originally, I thought that I had met an interesting wonderful person, but I didn't think that it would be a good thing all the way, and Li Longji, who was a little excited, was not entangled, but asked lightly: "How long are you going to stay when you come back to Chang'an?"

Xu Chen lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and immediately replied: "Weichen...... Wechen wants to stay longer!"

"Oh?" Li Longji looked at him expressionlessly.

"Back to the saint, Wechen has been away from the teacher for a long time, I want to stay in front of the teacher for a few more days, listen to the teachings from time to time, Wechen is still young, and his studies can't be wasted!" Saying that, Xu Chen was a little embarrassed and hesitated: "Wechen...... We-Chen......"

"If you have something to say, just say it!" Li Longji frowned slightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Weichen still wants to participate in the scientific expedition of the beginning of spring!" Xu Chen replied worriedly.

"Oh?" Li Longji was a little surprised: "You still want to be admitted to the Jinshi?"

"This ...... In fact...... In fact, Weichen originally came to the scientific examination, but after going to Shengzhou, he suddenly encountered a big change, and he had no choice but to put pen to paper from Rong and enter the army, but this idea of 'the dynasty is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in the Tianzi Hall' has not been forgotten!"

"Oh?" Li Longji's tone changed this time, and he was a little interested in the young man in front of him.

"You're already a town, why do you still want to be a civil official?"

"Wechen has no idea of despising martial artists!" Xu Chen looked anxious and said categorically: "Wechen has just studied hard for ten years, and he also wants to walk on the royal street, and he also wants to go to the Qionglin banquet to drink a glass of wine!"

"Oh......" Li Longji said noncommittally, "yes?"

"Weichen begs Your Majesty's permission!" said that, Xu Chen immediately knelt down.

Li Longji fell silent, and Xu Chen knelt motionlessly.

"What about your Ryukyu military town?" Li Longji asked lightly, "Don't you want it too?"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong!" Xu Chen raised his head suddenly, and said with a firm face: "The Ryukyu Military Town is set up by the imperial court, and Weichen is just stationed on one side for His Majesty, so whether the Ryukyu Military Town is set up or abolished is a matter of words!"

Li Longji thought for a while with an expressionless face, and then asked: "If you stay in Chang'an, who will handle the military and government affairs of the Ryukyu Military Town?"

"Ryukyu is just a small place, and there are many miasma, and the affairs are idle, and the military affairs are currently led by the fourth brother of Weichen, as for the government affairs...... Naturally, it is governed by the county order sent by the imperial court!"

As he spoke, Xu Chen lowered his head, but a pair of ears stood up.

Sure enough, Li Longji turned his head and asked Xu Fan, "I remember that the Ministry of Officials seems to have sent a county commander, right?"

"Yes!" Xu Fan replied: "Last year's Jinshi, named He Kaiyuan!"

"How is it? Have you arrived?" asked Li Longji again.

Xu Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled suddenly, and the hands in his sleeves slowly felt out two talisman seals.

"It's a big deal, I'll rush out, what's the consequences!"

Thinking so in his heart, he heard Xu Fan be silent for a moment and then said: "Then He Kaiyuan is from the northwest, and he can't think of water, and after going to sea, the ship encountered wind and waves, lost his footing and fell into the sea, and when he was rescued on the ship, he couldn't live ......."

"Oh......" Li Longji was noncommittal, but the expression on his face did not change much, after all, he was only a new science sergeant, and he had not been an official for two days, so how could he have a big impression.

As the emperor, he really didn't dare to imagine that the young man kneeling in front of him at the moment would dare to be so bold!
