Chapter 368: Fear
Qiao Zhen looked calm. Spit out two words: "Strange man." ”
"What strange man?" Zhen Guogong asked his daughter-in-law, and his heart was a little shocked. Could it be that the daughter-in-law thought of it, no. He didn't think it was possible.
"Nanzhao." Qiao Zhen said two more words.
There are not many words, but it is shocking, this time the three men in the hall all looked at her, but Qiaozhen was calm.
In fact, she was also very puzzled in her heart, if she guessed correctly, this would indeed be incredible.
"How do you know?" Zhen Guogong did not hide his surprise in the slightest.
That's right. Although Qiaozhen is calm, his heart is not relaxed.
"Guess." Qiao Zhen smiled.
Zhen Guogong waved his hand to let all the people in the hall go down, and even Sun Juhua went out with Rourou in her arms.
"You guessed it." Zhen Guogong nodded at Qiaozhen.
"It's worthy of being a ghost elf, and I didn't bend to you." Zhen Guogong quipped.
"Thank you for your father's compliment." It's really useful.
Mr. Wen looked at Qiao Zhen more seriously, and this woman surprised him again, he really didn't expect this woman in the house to guess his identity.
For the Chen family, he has inquired, and he also knows everything about Qiaozhen, but she is just a normal woman, but today it impresses him.
"Father, but the daughter-in-law is puzzled, how could Mr. Wen come back with his father?"
Qiaozhen asked, she was really curious.
"In this Nanzhao war, I met Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen is the think tank of Nanzhao, and we have our own victories and defeats after several battles, although they are hostile. But I also sympathize with each other. ”
"This battle was extremely difficult, and if there was no help from the art of war, I don't know what the result would have been in the end. I'm afraid I can't really win against him. ”
Zhen Guogong admires Mr. Wen very much.
"He lost a few battles. Disliked by the manager. The boss actually put all the charges on him, and in the last stage, he even sent someone to kill Mr. Wen. Fortunately, Mr. Wen had insight in advance and escaped, and he evaded the pursuit of the opposing coach, but was caught by our soldiers and tied up in front of me. ”
"Mr. Wen is a good man. I did not give in, and I admired his strategy, and had a long talk with him in the tent. We cherished this talk even more, only to know that Mr. was originally from the Central Plains, because his family was persecuted, and he himself was framed. before he was forced to leave home. Drifting around, he finally had a chance and got a strange book, he studied hard for decades, and by chance went to Nanzhao and became a military advisor, hoping to achieve victory and revenge. Who knows that I defeated him. ”
"Sir also sighed at my mastery and use of the art of war, and the two of us talked about speculation. In the end, I promised him to wash away his grievances, and my husband came back with me, saying that he was willing to follow me and be a cloth man. ”
Zhen Guogong briefly explained the matter.
Qiaozhen nodded, what he said was reasonable, such a thing has not happened before. But it's also quite bloody, life is really full of dog blood.
"Did my father avenge my husband?" Qiao Zhen asked, she was not particularly worried about Mr. Wen.
"Thank you grandma for your concern, Grandpa Guo has avenged his family revenge." Mr. Wen stood up and saluted to express his gratitude.
"She is a junior, you don't need to call her grandma, I told you, we are brothers, you can treat her as a nephew."
Zhen Guogong looked dissatisfied and corrected his salutation.
Mr. Wen listened to Zhen Guogong say this, his expression was also frank, he only admired and thanked Zhen Guogong, for Zhen Guogong's heirs, he did it well, as for their attitude towards him, he didn't care very much.
"My nephew and daughter-in-law have seen my uncle." Qiao Zhen did not hesitate, stood up and saluted, and Chen Xuanyu also stood up and saluted.
Seeing the two of them like this, Mr. Wen's eyes flashed with surprise and emotion, people need to respect each other.
During his time in the capital, he had also seen the third young master and the third young grandmother. Both of them were nostrils to him, and their eyes were full of disdain.
Of course, Grandpa Guo didn't tell them about his presence in Nanzhao, but he could see their arrogance.
But the eldest young master is different, his eldest son is easy-going, not self-righteous, and makes people feel comfortable.
The young grandmother is smart, but she is not powerful, no wonder Grandpa Guo likes the eldest son's family so much, no wonder he recognizes this daughter-in-law, there is a reason.
Several people sat down again. There is more harmony with each other than before.
"Father, some time ago, the news that you are going to be crowned king spread very much, and the court ......" Chen Xuanyu's words were not finished, he was very worried about his father with concern in his eyes.
"Yu'er rest assured, my father is fine. Some time ago, there was a lot of controversy in the court, there were objections, there were praises, the saint called me and asked me what I meant, I resigned, I was satisfied with being able to do the country, and I didn't think about it. ”
"The saint also wants to make you and Xuan Ting officials, I also pushed it, it is not appropriate for too many people in our family to serve, and finally the saint added the seal of the food and let the title be passed on. also gave Xuan Ting an idle job. That's enough. ”
Zhenguogong's face was a little helpless, who can be a good man who doesn't want to glorify his ancestors and be crowned the prince, he is also happy, but he knows the situation of the court better. The king's life is not important.
Chen Xuanyu nodded, he agreed with his father's approach.
Qiaozhen also understands that she has heard a lot about the master.
"As long as our family is happy, we can all be safe, and the king is nothing." Qiao Zhen said a word, looking indifferent.
Mr. Wen glanced at her again, this woman is very open, doesn't she want to do an edict? If she doesn't love wealth, why should she marry Chen Gongzi? The woman amazed him a lot.
"You can see it."
Zhen Guogong glanced at his daughter-in-law, this daughter-in-law has a manly spirit.
"It's not that I don't understand the truth of the master, by the way, father, my husband and I have been worried, this has pacified Nanzhao, there is no big battle to fight, but will you be cunning and kill the lackey?"
Qiaozhen didn't treat Mr. Wen as an outsider, although she didn't trust Mr. Wen completely, but she could see that her father trusted him very much and regarded him as her own, and she could trust the eyes of the prince of Zhenguo.
Zhen Guogong's face sank. After glancing at Mr. Wen, he said, "You don't have to worry about this question, Brother Wen reminded me at that time." Although I am a military general, I also understand these truths. Brother Wen helped me come up with an idea, and it was clearly written on the surrender letter submitted by Nanzhao, that I would be in the middle of the court for one day, and they would promise never to invade. The reason for this is deterrence. No one in the DPRK will dare to touch me, otherwise there will be war again. In addition, the place in Huabei also recognizes me. Therefore, it can ensure the safety of our Chen family. ”
In fact, there was something Zhen Guogong didn't say, and when Mr. Wen gave him time to come up with this idea, he hesitated. I feel that Mr. Wen is a little careful, the saint is a Ming Jun, and he will definitely not treat him like that.
When he returned to the court, he understood. Mr. Wen was right. Several old friends who knew each other, as well as Yu Chengfeng, had privately approached him and vaguely mentioned the idea of the saint, and he had the heart to liquidate the heroes.
Fortunately, it was clearly written in Nanzhao's surrender that the saint was afraid of another war, and no one would go to war, so he wanted to be crowned the king to show goodwill.
It is not feasible to be crowned king, so the saint will be more jealous of him, so he privately arranged many trustworthy courtiers. Jointly opposed.
Some people objected, and Zhen Guogong resigned. Under the table, he even resigned the title of heir, proving that he was patriotic and calmed the sacred heart.
If it weren't for that, I don't know what the situation would be today.
Zhen Guogong's words fell, and Qiao Zhen and Chen Xuanyu were relieved. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, it is common to be pampered today and convicted tomorrow. So you have to plan.
"Thank you, uncle." Qiaozhen and Chen Xuanyu thanked him together, the other party's plan was good, which made the saint jealous, so he could only appease Zhenguo Gong, not frame him, and expect the other party to suppress the frontier for him and sell his life.
"Virtuous nephew, nephew and daughter-in-law don't have to be polite." Mr. Wen waved his hand. He is now on the same path with Zhenguo Gong, of course, he must plan for him wholeheartedly. In fact, they have done a lot more, all for the stability of the Chen family in the future, but there is no need to talk about it on the surface.
A few more people talked for a while, and someone came in to report that the meal had been arranged. Ask if you want to set the meal.
Qiaozhen asked Zhen Guogong's opinion and ordered someone to set the meal.
Meals are mostly meaty and less vegetarian. for it happened to be one woman, and there was no division of the table. Sitting together.
"My nephew didn't know that my uncle was coming, and I didn't know my uncle's taste, so I made something casually, and if it didn't suit my uncle's taste, my uncle just said it. The nephew arranged it for the uncle. ”
Qiao Zhen smiled Yan Yan.
"My niece and daughter-in-law don't have to be polite, that's good, I'm used to eating everything."
Mr. Wen waved his hand, the dishes in front of him were still good.
"Yes, Qiaozhen, your uncle has been in Nanzhao for many years, and he is used to eating meat, but his favorite is still side dishes, and when you have time, you can ask people to cook a few exquisite and unique vegetarian dishes for your uncle to eat. But you don't have to do it yourself, you're a month old, and it's not good to bump into it. ”
Zhen Guogong knew that his daughter-in-law's cooking skills were good, but he was reluctant to let her do it herself.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." Qiao Zhen smiled and responded.
Mr. Wen also smiled and did not refuse, he knew that Qiaozhen's cooking skills were acceptable, and if she was willing to arrange it, she would appreciate it herself.
The guests and hosts of the meal were happy and withdrew the banquet.
In the flower hall, Qiaozhen ordered someone to serve tea again. After saying a few words, she quit first, because she was not in good spirits and couldn't sit still.
After Qiaozhen left, the three people in the flower hall began to talk.
"Brother Chen, no wonder you praise this daughter-in-law, this is really extraordinary at first sight, her demeanor is neither humble nor humble, her demeanor is natural, and she is also smart, which is rare. Childe has a good eye. ”
Mr. Wen praised Qiaozhen, and Qiaozhen's impression on him was indeed acceptable.
Chen Xuanyu smiled faintly, Qiaozhen is priceless in his heart, no matter what others say, he treats Qiaozhen as a treasure.
"You are right, although my daughter-in-law is from Zhuangzi, it is really rare, she is generous, and she is open-minded, you see that she is smart, but she is never harmless, everything is in the open, she will not lose her proportion, and she can extend the heirs of my Chen family. Yu'er really didn't choose the wrong person. ”
Zhen Guogong is also very satisfied, he has regarded Qiaozhen as his own family. (To be continued......)
