Chapter 106: Who is the Pillar of the Nation?
Seeing that the emperor was angry, Duke Dexi was terrified, kowtowed and confessed, and walked out of the imperial study.
After going out, Father-in-law Dexi leaned against the door and closed his eyes, he sighed softly, shook his head, and closed the door again to leave.
What he didn't know was that in the few seconds he closed his eyes, Chen Jia had flashed into the imperial study through the open door.
"Your Majesty!" Chen Jia spoke slowly.
"How did you get in?" Chu Xiuyu saw that it was Chen Jia, but it was Chen Jia who was wearing a night suit, and he was also vigilant.
"Are you really the emperor of Shenghe??". Chen Jia said as he walked into Chu Xiuyu.
"Presumptuous, Chen Jia, are you crazy?" Chu Xiuyu lowered his voice.
"If you are really the emperor of our Shenghe, why do you have to shake the hearts of the people when the two countries go to war?" Chen Jia approached step by step.
"Humph!" Chu Xiuyu saw that Chen Jia was not here to assassinate, but to plead, but he was not afraid.
"If you are really the emperor, will you not know the relationship between the four major families? You killed the Shi family and broke the hearts of the four families, and my eldest brother is still fighting for you on the battlefield? ”
"The Shi family collaborates with the enemy, and there is more than innocent death, Chen Jia, don't be emotional." Chu Xiuyu gritted his teeth and hated it. "Do you know what the whole world thinks of me now?"
Chen Jia looked at Chu Xiuyu with wide eyes, why could his expression be so distorted, distorted to the point that Chen Jia felt extremely unfamiliar.
"They are all laughing at me, laughing at me for being robbed of the imperial concubine, but I went to another country to wag my tail and beg for mercy and ask for peace talks. Now he has been rejected by Jin Anguo for peace talks, and what kind of holy war is being waged. It's really damn, I knew this earlier, it was better to call Jin'an directly, at least others can know that they are the ones who are to blame! Chu Xiuyu roared.
Chen Jia opened her mouth but didn't speak, originally she had prepared a stomach full of words to say, hoping to convince the emperor, but after she heard Chu Xiuyu's heart. knows that he can't convince the emperor no matter what, and he may even anger him and affect others.
Desperate, Chen Jia knelt in front of Chu Xiuyu. She closed her eyes and said slowly: "Chen Jia knows that the emperor will not listen to anything now, Chen Jia is willing to ask the emperor to see it for the sake of all the people in the world." Leave a way for the historian to live, don't do things to the end, do you remember the gold medal that the emperor rewarded Chen Jia with in the first place? Chen Jia is willing to exchange this for history, and the family will not die! ”
"Do you really want to do that?" Chu Xiuyu squinted at Chen Jia. At first, it was just because she thought that she was strong in martial arts at a young age, and she wanted to form a good relationship, of course, she thought it was more fun. gave her a gold medal for avoiding death, but she didn't expect that she would use the gold medal to intercede for others and block herself.
"Ask the emperor to fulfill it!" Chen Jia said firmly.
"I know that you are good friends with the daughter of the Shi family, but there is only this one gold medal for avoiding death, and there is only this one chance, do you really want to use it on the Shi family?" Chu Xiuyu's face was extremely cold.
"Chen Jia begs the emperor to be fulfilled!" Chen Jia said firmly again
"The gold medal for avoiding death can only exempt one person, but looking at your face, I can change the beheading of the historian's male to exile for thousands of miles."
"The old man of the Shi family is already old, please be gracious to the emperor!"
"Don't change it, let's go!" Chu Xiuyu's tone was cold. After speaking, he turned around directly and ignored Chen Jia.
Seeing this, Chen Jia could only thank her, and just as she was about to leave the imperial study, Chu Xiuyu added: "Shengcheng can be handed over to the Sun family to manage." ”
……
When Chen Jia returned to the Taishi Mansion, Jiang Qian was anxiously waiting for her in the hall, so that the guards saw Chen Jia coming back and immediately took her to the study.
"Sorry, did you go to the palace?" As soon as Jiang Qian saw Chen Jia, he asked impatiently.
"Yes, I went to see the emperor. The emperor promised to change the beheading of the prisoner to exile for thousands of miles. Grandpa, am I doing something wrong! Grandpa Shi is already so old, what is the difference between being exiled for thousands of miles and beheading the prisoner? Not only will he not live, but he will suffer even more! Chen Jia couldn't help but shed tears.
"The emperor is willing to let go?" Jiang Qian looked at Chen Jia in disbelief. Seeing Chen Jia nodding. He added: "You don't care about the rest of the matter, I will take care of it, so that they will suffer less on the road." ”
"Thank you, grandpa!" Chen Jia thanked her, but her heart was still heavy.
"Speaking of which, our Jiang family and the Shi family are also close to each other, and for the sake of Aoting's face, we should also help them. It's just that the Shi family is in trouble and we rescued them. If something happens to the Jiang family one day, who will come to the rescue? Jiang Qian seemed to mutter, his heart full of thoughts.
……
Sure enough, on the second day, the emperor sentenced the historian man to exile for thousands of miles, and the woman was still sentenced to be an official maid. It's a pity that Old Man Sun and Old Man Yang have already returned to their fiefdoms, and they are not even in a hurry to help the Shi family intercede.
After a few days, it is said that Shi Zunbao is missing, and the emperor ordered people to be wanted everywhere. A few days later, it was rumored that the old man of the Shi family and his son died on the way due to illness, and Chen Jia cried for a long time after learning about it.
Everyone sighed in their hearts what happened to the Shi family, and some people who did good things began to covet the beauty of the Shi family's daughters and began to find out where to buy them.
The buying and selling of officials and maids was also carried out in secret. Ayou is worthy of being a persistent child, he inquired everywhere, asked for relationships everywhere, and after spending tens of thousands of taels of silver, he finally bought Shi Hailing and her mother. It's just that her twin sister, who is a fellow mother, said that she was not found by the government, so naturally she couldn't buy it together. Ayou quietly placed them on a farm on the outskirts of Beijing, and came to Chen Jia to restore his life, Chen Jia heard about it, and personally wrote a letter to let them live in peace, and then make arrangements when the limelight passed.
Chen Jia returned the gold leaves brought out from the Shi family to Shi Hailing's mother and daughter, so that they could live in peace, but they wept sadly for them in their hearts.
……
In the past few days, there has been an urgent report from the border pass, it turns out that Yelu Jin has only just ascended to the great treasure, and some old ministers are still dissatisfied, Yelu Jin Cai said that he would carry out a holy war in order to convince the ministers, and personally led 200,000 troops to the border.
Anyang City, where Jin'an and Shenghe Kingdom are handed over, is only a subsidiary city of Fancheng, and Anyang is not too big, but the city is quite stable. Five hundred years of peace were thus shattered.
The 50,000 elite soldiers led by Jiang Youchun were originally stationed in the territory of Heping Town, but now the Emperor of Jin'an is personally driving the expedition, and it is an army of 200,000.
"Your Excellency." Cheng Hu hugged his fist after entering the house. "The scout returns, the Jin'an army is only thirty miles away from us!"
"So fast? Cheng Hu, how do you say we will fight this battle? Jiang Youchun knew that Cheng Hu was also familiar with the art of war, and often discussed with him.
"My lord, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, and the lower officials think that we can only advance by retreating now. Let's retreat to Anyang and make another plan! Cheng Hujian said.
"But. If you don't fight, you will retreat, and you and I will be worried about your life when you return to the capital! Jiang Youchun said worriedly. Now that the historian was exiled when he came back from the peace talks, and the entire historian no longer existed, he had to think about it more.
"Your Excellency. If we don't retreat, what will happen to us? Cheng Hu asked.
"You're right, you still have to withdraw from the army, and if you don't retreat, the end will definitely be that 50,000 soldiers will stay here!"
……
News keeps spreading across the border and in Kyoto. When the capital received the news that Jiang Youchun and others led their troops to retreat without a fight and asked for support, Chu Xiuyu's face darkened all morning. He was thinking about where there was a talent who could replace Jiang Youchun.
Chu Xiuyu's mind kept thinking about the big and small military attaches in the capital. turned out to be pitiful that there were few military attachés, except for the Jiang family, the others were just relying on the relationship of the older generation to eat and wait for death. He began to feel uneasy.
"Dexi, go and announce Dean Ouyang!"
In the imperial study, Chu Xiuyu and Dean Ouyang started a conversation, and Chu Xiuyu said: "Now the problem of talent shortage, especially military attachés, do you know where there are seedlings who know martial arts and the art of war?" When I am honest in employing people here, I don't have to stick to any form. ”
"The minister recommended Pingyuan Jiang Wenhan, he is Jiang Qian's grandson and is now a teacher in the academy. However, Jiang Wenhan is the heir of the Jiang family plain, he has outstanding literary and martial arts, and knows how to arrange troops, not inferior to Jiang Youchun! In addition, the minister heard that Yang Mingyuan of the Yang family is also a middle master, so the emperor might as well ask Concubine Yang again. Dean Ouyang added. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that my disciple Chen Jia was still young and a girl, she would be the most suitable one! ”
"Chen Jia is your disciple?" Chu Xiuyu asked in disbelief. "I knew that she was a martial arts genius and quite literate, but I didn't know that she could also set up the art of war."
"Chen Jia is my closed disciple. Speaking of which, she is more knowledgeable than Lao Chen, of course, this is mainly due to the good teaching of the Taishi, although she is young. But he is good at thinking and solving problems. A few days ago, she mentioned that she wanted to cultivate a young man of Shenghe, and said a very touching word, and when the old minister heard it, he immediately adopted her suggestion, and opened a martial arts class in the academy, as well as a political class. The political discussion course is a course to learn geography and the art of war. The old man said at the time that no one could be a teacher, but Chen Jia joked that if he was a man, he would be a teacher himself. The old man discussed with her for a long time, and found that she was a top master in both the Column Formation and the Five Elements Bagua Array, and she was definitely a woman who did not let her eyebrows go! ”
"The Jiang family really has a family history, whether it is Jiang Youchun or Jiang Wenhan, they are all the best among people, and now they are even a righteous daughter. I want to know what touching words Chen Jia said to let you open a course like the political class? Chu Xiuyu narrowed his eyes.
She said that if the youth is rich, the country will be rich, if the youth is strong, the country will be strong, and if the youth progresses, the country will progress! There are a few words that the old minister forgot for a while. Dean Ouyang said with some apologies.
Chu Xiuyu pondered for a long time after listening to it, and it took a while to come back to his senses.
She is right, teenagers are the hope of the country. She did think far ahead. Chu Xiuyu's gaze was far away.
"You bring that Jiang Wenhan tomorrow, if there is no teaching in the academy, you can let Chen Jia do the teaching, just say that I allow it. No one else has the right to say anything! ”
"So, thank you to the emperor!" Dean Ouyang was pleasantly surprised. "By the way, I heard that the Pingyuan Jiang family has never entered the ranks, the emperor may need to spend a lot of words, and ask the emperor to cherish his talents, even if he really disagrees, don't blame him, it's good to let him go back to the academy as a teacher."
"Don't worry, I'm not a tyrant." Chu Xiuyu said angrily.
Dean Ouyang wiped his sweat and said in his heart: "What you did a few days ago is no different from that of a tyrant!" ”
……
That night, the emperor was fortunate to Concubine Yang and gave the title Xue, and the next day, Yang Mingyuan, the elder brother of Concubine Xue, was also summoned to Beijing by the emperor. (To be continued.) )
