624. in the first place
Chu Shaohan's expression was a little hesitant, and he didn't know how to tell Emperor Wen frankly.
Emperor Wen has been on the throne for a long time, and he has already seen all kinds of courtiers with cunning or sincere expressions, and when he saw the fourth son's look like this, he immediately knew that he must not have learned about these private affairs of Qin Bohou Chen Jing through normal channels, and the smile on his face sank.
"What?
Emperor Wen's voice has always been cold and majestic, and Chu Shaohan has never been close to Emperor Wen, at this moment, under his inquiry, his heart was flustered, and his face was a little panicked.
He tried to calm his emotions: "Pour ...... There is nothing difficult to say, this matter is that Erchen caught a maid who escaped from the General Soldier's Mansion, and learned the identity of Mrs. Chen from her mouth. ”
"What about the maid?" asked Emperor Wen.
Chu Shaohan's mind was racing rapidly: "Maid...... Because the torture was too much, he couldn't bear it and died in prison," Xu knew how ridiculous these words were, and he hurriedly confessed, "It's all the sons, shouldn't you torture people like that." ”
Emperor Wen sneered, the words of the fourth child are full of loopholes, there are flaws in every sentence, the maid who came out of the General Military Mansion, the current general soldier is Wang Li, since Wang Li has entered the General Military Mansion, then the maid who served Mrs. Chen in the past can reach the hands of the fourth child?
Even if it is in the hands of the fourth child, can a casual maid know the master's private affairs, others don't know Chen Jing, but he knows best, Chen Jing is simply a cunning rabbit who will not take any risks, like Mrs. Chen's secret identity, there will not be too many people who can know, and the maid in the house, since she will know, must be a confidant, and a subordinate who can become a confidant, how can she be caught so easily?
Even if he was caught, he could be tortured to make people reveal the truth, and he was tortured to death, and I don't know if the fourth child wanted to fool him or deceive himself.
But Emperor Wen didn't poke at him, and still asked in a faint voice: "Did the maid say that Chen Jing and Goguryeo can have close contacts, and how many times a year does Mrs. Chen come and go to Goguryeo?"
How could Chu Shaohan know these things, no matter how fast he thought about it, he couldn't make it up, and he had some distractions between his words.
Suddenly there was a crisp sound of "pop", and Chu Shaohan's heart trembled.
Emperor Wen slapped the table abruptly, and said sharply: "You evil obstacle, you still refuse to tell the truth! What kind of maid in the general soldier's mansion is basically what you and Chen Jing have done in private! Do you really think I don't know? I rushed back from Fujian all the way, you want to see if I have been harmed by that beast and want a piece of the pie!"
Emperor Wen's sudden anger made Chu Shaohan's eyes shrink suddenly, and his legs couldn't stop trembling.
"Father...... Father... I, I didn't, no......" He was so frightened by Emperor Wen's anger that he suddenly stammered, this was the first time that Emperor Wen had really lost his temper with him since he was a child, so that a person like him, who had never had a sense of existence, couldn't bear it all of a sudden.
He tried to stand up, but as soon as his feet moved, he fell limply beside Luohan's bed.
Emperor Wen couldn't suppress his anger, picked up the tea cup on the table and smashed it on Chu Shaohan.
"Didn't you? What did you not do? On the way to Fujian, the third child ambushed the dead to take the life of the third child, did you do it? When you were dealing with the floods in Fujian, you lied that you were infected with the epidemic, but pushed Xia Mingche out to take the blame for you, did you do it? You did these selfish things very easily, why didn't you think of others? Why didn't you think of Jiangshan Sheji?"
The more Emperor Wen spoke, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but scold: "A wicked obstacle like you still wants to be in my country?"
Chu Shaohan's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked up at Emperor Wen, his eyes full of disbelief.
It is clear that he has arranged everything, and it is clear that he is all covering people's ears, how can he be understood by his father one by one?
"Hmph!" Emperor Wen didn't bother to talk to him, flicked his sleeves, and threw down a sentence, "Go back to the house and think about it behind closed doors, don't come out and jump up and down in the future, it's both disgusting and shameful!"
Chu Shaohan was dripping with cold sweat on his forehead, he never thought that he would come back like this, he had obviously arranged everything for the future, what went wrong?
……
Chu Shaoyuan rode a horse around Dongcheng in Yunfu City through most of the city, watching Dongcheng gradually change from the chaos at the beginning to the quiet and peaceful now, he smiled and said to Shen Boyan beside him: "In the end, he is still a member of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and he is really good at governing the town." ”
Shen Boyan smiled: "It's all about the news handed over by the third prince, if you don't know in advance, it will really take a lot of effort to suddenly encounter these riots and suppress them all at once." ”
Chu Shaoyuan's eyes were deep, and a smile came out after a while, "There is no impermeable wall in the world......
There are some capable people under the prince's hands, that He Chenghai of Zhan Shifu, he has never put this person in his eyes, but he didn't expect this person to be a good speaker and excellent ability, just look at Sun Bian Rong of the Jiucheng Camp Guard Division can be used by him, pinch Shangfeng to take the waist card in his hand, and then plan the riot outside the palace to know a thing or two.
If it weren't for the fact that he was aware of it in advance, and his temperament has always been cautious, and he made things clear to his father in advance, I am afraid that his father would have fallen into this pit.
Chu Shaoyuan said again: "Moreover, it's not all my credit, some things seem to be reliable, but in fact they are traps everywhere." ”
Shen Boyan suddenly thought of Yan Yunwei, Yan Yunwei commanded Feng Xuzhao, deputy commander Wang Youming, and commander Chen Jichang.
These three people seem to be incompatible, but in fact they are inextricably linked.
The prince wants to use Chen Jichang to control Yan Yunwei, but he doesn't know if the prince is too confident in him or too relieved about Chen Jichang.
Doesn't he know that Yan Yunwei is the emperor's henchmen?
Yes, Yan Yunwei's commander Chen Jichang was indeed promoted by Wei Jie, but if he is not loyal to the emperor, even if Wei Jie is kind to him, how can the emperor allow Chen Jichang to take the position of commander?
The prince probably didn't expect that Chen Jichang would rebel, seeing Chen Jichang as if he was desperate, not only sent his family back to the clan in advance, but also sold Yunfu's real estate in a ruined way, and exchanged silver money to bribe Yan Yunwei's deputy commander Wang Youming, but the prince didn't know that Chen Jichang had taken a fancy to the position of the deputy commander for a long time, and he was just waiting for this time to succeed and completely replace him.
Taking advantage of the fact that Wang Youming and Feng Xuzhao have always been at odds, with Wang Youming disturbing Feng Xuzhao, he Chen Jichang can fish in troubled waters and gain control in the second half of the night on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Speaking of which, Chen Jichang's choice is very unexpected even if it is shown to him.
Shen Boyan said softly: "The words of people's hearts are not false at all. ”
Chu Shaoyuan tightened the reins and glanced sideways at Shen Boyan: "In the end, it is still a human being, and there will still be some weaknesses in the end, if you can really ignore it, I am afraid there will not be so many lucks and luck in this world." ”
After he finished speaking, he whipped his horse, and rode away to the Shenji Camp.
Of course, Chen Jichang is the prince's person, and Chen Jichang's ambition is of course not only to be a deputy commander, but Chen Jichang's all this is desperate, whether it is a ruin, or a shipwreck, for the sake of the prince, but it makes people intercept Hu halfway.
And this bearded person is naturally him.
Su Zhu is a good thing, not only do you like it every night, but even the dignitaries and dignitaries in the city like it, otherwise there would not be so many people rushing to buy it, and Chen Jichang, as the prince's confidant, will never have less of these royal gifts at home, otherwise when the family moves, there will not be so many silk that cannot be taken back, and it will be sold on the spot.
As long as a person still has something to care about in his heart, he will have a weakness and compromise, just look at Chen Jichang to know.
If the prince knew that this matter was defeated by Chen Jichang, he would probably be very annoyed.
……
went to the Shenji Battalion, Chu Shaoyuan and Zheng Rong, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, inspected the captured bow and crossbow.
Zheng Rong equipped this batch of bows and crossbows with the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion, and then demonstrated them to Chu Shaoyuan one by one.
"These are old-fashioned, machine crossbows made from the Ministry of Industry, and these were sent by the prince," Zheng Rong said as he motioned to the guards around him to shoot at the target, "This kind of machine crossbow has a long range, and it can kill the head of a person a thousand meters away, and it is extremely fast, and it can often kill people invisibly with a single snap." ”
Chu Shaoyuan asked, "How does it compare to the old-fashioned machine crossbow?"
Zheng Rong said: "Since this batch of machine crossbows has a longer range, you look here," he turned the machine crossbow over and gave Chu Shaoyuan a closer look, "There is an aiming device here, the accuracy is excellent, it is an ordinary person, who has not practiced, and this machine crossbow can easily hurt people with this machine crossbow, and this machine crossbow is lighter than the old machine crossbow, and when the sword crossbow is shot, there is no loud sound like the old machine crossbow." ”
Therefore, this batch of machine crossbows has been modified, especially suitable for sneak attacks.
Chu Shaoyuan looked at it, and there was a condensation in his eyes.
If he hadn't noticed this, could it be that Yunfu City had been controlled by the crown prince at this moment? Could it be that the emperor of Dayan would have changed it to the crown prince in the future? Chu Shaoyuan's fingers clenched, and his brows furrowed with Sichuan characters, in the end, he was too careless.
Zheng Rong saw that Chu Shaoyuan's face was not good, he knew some inside information, but it was not good to talk about such royal secrets, so he changed the topic with a smile: "In fact, this batch of machine crossbows is suitable for fighting at sea, although sea operations rely on war cannons and firearms, but firearms are very cumbersome and troublesome whether they are installed or placed, although they are extremely powerful, they are also prone to accidents, but they are not as good as these machine crossbows, but the minister thinks that these machine crossbows may be transferred to the side to use, and they are still a little buried in the god machine camp." ”
In his position, he is talking about people like Zheng Rong, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, and it is no wonder that he was not bought by the prince.
Chu Shaoyuan nodded: "I will tell my father about these situations, if I can protect my family and defend the country, it is naturally the best." ”
