The situation that Chen Yuanheng said was roughly the same as that of Princess Lichuan. It's just that Chen Yuanheng focused on the situation of the Chen family. Today's Chen clan is very powerful. The barbarian threat from the north has been lifted. The Chen people do not have to live under the pressure of war every day. The Chen people, who had been relieved of the danger, suddenly threw their troops on the Silla Peninsula like a coercive tiger, and suddenly destroyed the two countries of Silla and Goguryeo, which were already besieged internally and externally and the people were separated.

The Chen people, who had destroyed these two countries, urgently needed to recuperate and digest this piece of fat meat that they had just gotten. Therefore, the Chen family urgently needs the support of the imperial family. The royal family is tired because of the Northwest War for many years, and it is already at the end of the crossbow, and it also needs a period of rest and recuperation. The Chen people's request was exactly what they needed. Therefore, the emperor and the patriarch of the Chen clan formed a common alliance to suppress the Bai clan, the Li clan, and the royal clan.

Under such circumstances, the emperor appointed Liu Yan, the son-in-law of the Chen family, as the successor of the country, and the empress dowager would be Empress Chen in the future. The next queen is Chen Wenfeng. Bai Liangdi is the second only Bai Guifei who is the status of Empress Chen Wenfeng. This pattern is very satisfactory to everyone, and only Bai Liangdi and the Bai family are dissatisfied.

Under these circumstances, if you think that the Chen family and the royal family will join forces in Dachu, there should be at least ten years of peace and prosperity. Chen Yuanheng said: "This decade will be a decade of recuperation for all ethnic groups. Although the barbarians on the grassland were defeated, they were not extinct, and the barbarians were not the only people on the grassland, and now the horseback people on the grassland also had to cultivate and live. The Chen family and the royal family, the imperial court all knew. Ten years later, when the new generation of the peoples on the grassland grows up, there will be no less than the barbarian tribes, and our Dachu and Chen people will continue to live their previous lives. ”

This suddenly reminded Chen Wenhui of the history of the previous life, in which the grassland peoples and the northeast peoples had always threatened the agricultural civilization of the Central Plains, and some scholars even said that the Central Plains was in a violent funnel of two horns in the northeast and northwest.

Chen Yuanheng continued: "So, this decade. It is very important for us Chen people. The reason why we destroyed Silla with a thunderbolt. The two countries of Goguryeo are just to get the Silla Peninsula, which is the place where grain is produced, and the outlet to the sea, so that even in the future, even if they face the new steppe peoples. We have food from overseas. Material resources. I must be able to resist it, at least not as hard as I used to resist. ”

Regarding the previous hardships of the Chen family, although Chen Wenhui has not experienced it personally. But the two brothers didn't tell her less. Speaking of which, the Chen clan has always been the bottom of the four clans, largely because of the barbarians. The barbarians are not like the foreign races that the other three races defend, sometimes attacking, sometimes living in peace. The barbarians have been attacking for nearly a thousand years, so a lot of the Chen clan's strength is wasted on the barbarians. Therefore, their own strength is getting lower and lower. This decade will be a decade for the Chen people to recuperate, and even after ten years, they will have to face that kind of life, because of the addition of the Silla Peninsula, the Chen people will definitely be able to relax.

As a member of the Chen family, Chen Wenhui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this.

Chen Yuanheng continued: "In addition to the Chen people, although there are no barbarians in the northwest, it can't be easy, and those grassland peoples are not fuel-efficient lamps. Therefore, although the army has returned, it still has to be guarded by an army. Also, in the process of dealing with the barbarians, we have seized a large area of land in the northwest, and these newly acquired lands must be guarded by someone, and the court has not yet decided who to go? However, it is more likely that someone from the Bai family will manage it now. ”

Chen Wenhui frowned and said: "This northwest is originally close to the northwest, and let the people of the Bai family manage it, doesn't this mean that the land that Da Chu worked so hard to win was given to the Bai family?" Can the emperor and the crown prince agree? Even if it is royal consent, can the Chen family agree? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Hmph, this is not the result of the Bai family's activities in the capital. These ministers of the court are all stupid, some are greedy for bribes from the Bai family, some want to tie up with the Bai family, and some want to tie up with Bai Liangdi, who is favored. Look at it, at this time, the dancers are the happiest, and the prince and the emperor will not let them go in the future. In the face of the power of the court, the emperor and the crown prince will not let go of anyone who challenges them. ”

Chen Wenhui understands this. Her father told her these things to make her understand the emperor's intentions, and not to rashly recommend the Bai family, which made the emperor unhappy. Although Chen Wenhui knew Bai Jiayuan of the Bai family, the assassin history of Heyangzhou, and Bai Liangdi of the crown prince Liu Yan, there was not much intersection with the Bai family. By the way, I forgot about it, my mother is also a member of the Bai family, so it can be said that she also has the blood of the Bai family. Therefore, the Bai family is still likely to come to woo her. No wonder, her father told her so solemnly, because he was afraid that she would be used by the Bai family.

In fact, Chen Wenhui is really very general to the Bai family, her mother is a concubine, and she really doesn't have much contact with the Bai family, and she is not very close to the Bai family. Chen Wenhui is still towards her family.

Chen Yuanheng was very satisfied when he saw that his daughter understood what he meant, and then said: "In addition to this question about the northwest guard, there is also an undercurrent in the court now, that is, the prince's position is becoming more and more stable, and the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and the question of the prince's succession to the throne in the future is already a certainty." But in the future, the crown prince will succeed to the throne, what about the next crown prince? Is it the eldest son of the Chen family, the crown princess Chen Wenfeng, or the grandson of Bai Liangdi recently? This new succession has begun. ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "It's different from us now." In the past, we had nothing, and if we didn't participate in the succession, we would have to live a dull life of being slaughtered by others. But now, we have everything, high-ranking officials, status, territory, how many cities do our Xiao Chen family have, is it necessary for us to follow and seize the heir? ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed and said, "What Hui'er said is that now we don't stand in line lightly. We are now being co-opted. ”

Bai nodded and said, "Now the Bai family and the big house are desperately trying to tie up our family. You'll feel this as soon as you come back. ”

Chen Wenhui said helplessly: "So, I don't like to stay in the capital, it's just that there are too many things to deceive me here." I might as well run my own territory in Nanyang. ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled bitterly and said: "But this marriage is given by the emperor, and you can only return to Nanyang after the marriage is completed." This year's time, you should be patient. You can count how much you have been at home since you were eight years old, and you have been outside all year round, even wilder than your two older brothers. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it, and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, coquettish in the arms of her parents, Bai smiled and hugged her daughter, who was already taller than her, and said: "You see that you have such a delicate bun, how can you still be coquettish in your mother's arms like a child?" Mess up your hair for a while, be careful of being laughed at. ”

Chen Wenhui was not worried at all, and said: "What are you afraid of, my mother must have prepared everything, and my mother will comb my hair for a while, but I haven't asked my mother to comb my hair for a long time." ”

Bai looked at his daughter dotingly and said, "What a little monkey of a demon." ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "In addition to these court affairs, I think you also know the affairs of Chongyi's family." Now the old Zhongyi Gong lives on the farm with Mrs. Zhao, and the Zhongyi Mansion is presided over by the current Zhongyi Duke Zhao Chongli and his wife Han, which is still very good, and the officialdom in the capital is praised. ”

Bai said: "That Han is also very good, and he is very affectionate when he sees me." In addition, before, she had saved you with Chongyi, so I was naturally willing to support her. Therefore, she is now in the circle of noblewomen in the capital than she was when Mrs. Zhao was there before. ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "I know that my father and mother must treat the Zhao family differently for my sake." This may be the reason why Lao Zhongyi must marry Chongyi and me. ”

Chen Yuanheng and his wife glanced at each other, and Bai said softly: "In fact, marriages between nobles are all because of interests. There are really not many people like you and Chongyi. But these interests do not affect anything, anyway, it is you who live your life in the future. Your father and I both think Chongyi's kid is really good. You will be happy with him in the future. As for the Zhao family's thoughts, you can just assume that you haven't seen it. ”

Chen Wenhui sneered and said, "Mother, you don't have to worry, am I that kind of stingy person?" If my guess is correct, in fact, the Zhao family's plan is more than that. Just to integrate into the officialdom of the capital and find a powerful in-law, it is not enough for Lao Zhongyi to spend such a big capital, I think he probably also took a fancy to my overseas cities. ”

Bai Shi was surprised: "Won't it?" ”

Chen Yuanheng fell into deep thought.

Chen Wenhui said: "What's this, it's stupid not to attract jealousy." It is because of my talent and things that I have attracted the covetousness of the old loyal and righteous fathers. If you don't have anything, if you don't have talent, can you still incur this? Maybe you will have to be angry with Mrs. Zhao. That's okay, for the sake of the Zhao family, Lao Zhongyi will definitely protect me. As for what he thinks, am I that good at talking? ”

Chen Yuanheng couldn't help but laugh when he looked at his daughter's ghost elf, and said: "Hahaha, the old fox of the old Zhongyi Gong thinks he has a plan, and sees you as an ordinary girl's family, it seems that he is going to mention the iron plate." ”

Chen Wenhui and Bai laughed together. (To be continued......)
