Chapter 238: Spreading Ballads
The idea was made, and all three were very excited.
"Then, how should this rumor be released so that the emperor can know?" Guan Yan asked.
As soon as he asked, Second Master Fan also suppressed his smile and looked at Lin Miao expectantly.
Lin Miao looked at them, and then said, "This is very simple. ”
"Simple?" Second Master Fan shook his head, the emperor is in the deep palace, and it is not easy to pass on this news to him.
Moreover, even if he can meet the emperor, who has the courage to tell the emperor such important news?
In case, if the emperor doesn't believe it, blames them, and says that they slander the important ministers, then they won't be able to eat and walk away.
Lin Miao saw their doubts, smiled and shook his head, "It's not as complicated as you think. Do you know what the emperor is most concerned about? ”
Guan Yan and Second Master Fan looked at each other and shook their heads blankly.
How could they know what the emperor was most concerned about.
"What the emperor is most concerned about is the suffering of the people." Lin Miao said confidently, the corners of her mouth hooked up a full smile, as if she had become a bamboo in her chest.
Guan Yan and Second Master Fan still didn't know why, so they had to ask out loud, "What is the method, don't sell Guan Zi." ”
"The emperor is most concerned about the suffering of the people, and we can compile Chen Jinyue's loss of the Cold Moon Knife into a folk song for everyone to pass on. In this way, someone will definitely tell the emperor and let him know about this matter. ”
"Ahh That's wonderful! In this case, even if the emperor wants to punish the crime, blame someone for slandering the minister. I can't find anyone, the law doesn't blame the public, and it is impossible for the emperor to take all the people who sing folk songs. Grab them all. Second Master Fan stroked his hands and admired.
"Then, Lin Miao, you will make up ballads, right? Fan Er and I are not good at this. Guan Yan looked at Fan Erye, and saw that the latter also nodded in agreement, admitting his shortcomings in this regard.
Lin Miao readily agreed, "No problem, I'll make it up." After the numbering. Please spread the word around, so that the children and the people. The peddlers and pawns all learned this ballad. ”
"That's fine." Guan Yan said with a smile.
A few days later, the streets and alleys of the capital were popular with this folk song 'Cold Moon Knife.' The most domineering. Kill the enemy and scream; General Chen, the most nonsense, a good artifact was lost. ’
The ballad is like the vernacular, concise, simple, and catchy.
Within a few days, even the three-year-old doll could sing along.
Chen Gongfu was shocked.
The emperor was even more shocked.
Chen Jinyue. He, there is no Cold Moon Knife anymore?
The news. For the emperor, it was surprise and delight.
Shockingly, the Cold Moon Knife was lost, if it was known by the border neighbors, would they make a comeback and continue to harass the border? If there are no strong generals to stop them, will they drive straight in?
Happily, Duke Chen's Mansion does not have the Cold Moon Sword by his side, and he no longer needs to be afraid of them, and he can use people who are truly brave and resourceful.
At this time, in the Chen Gong's Mansion, the old general Chen Jinyue was anxiously pacing in the room.
Mrs. Wang Fengyu also anxiously watched the old man in front of her, walking back and forth, and she couldn't help herself at all.
"Sir, what should we do?"
"Oops! What to do, what to do! If I knew what to do, would I still be in a hurry? Chen Jinyue was originally born in the army, and at this time, because he was in a hurry, his tone couldn't help but become impatient, and his voice was so loud that Wang Fengyu was so frightened that he quickly shut up, but tears rolled in his eyes.
Chen Jinyue, who was already upset, saw her like this, and he was even more angry, "Crying, crying, crying, women, you know that crying, at a critical time, it is useless." ”
Wang Fengyu was so frightened that she quickly bit her lip and held back her tears to prevent them from flowing out.
But despite this, Chen Jinyue was still irritable and continued to pace in the room, sighing from time to time.
Wang Fengyu saw that this was not a solution, thought for a while, and then whispered to Chen Jinyue, "Master, otherwise, call Youzong and Yuchan over, let's sum it up together, as the saying goes, three stinks"
Before Wang Fengyu could say the sentence 'three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang', he was killed by Chen Jinyue with an eye knife, and he hurriedly closed his mouth, and the tears of grievance in his eyes were even more turbulent.
Chen Jinyue softened his expression, sighed and said, "It's okay, you go and call them over." ”
Wang Fengyu hurriedly stood up and walked out quickly.
Originally, she didn't have to do this kind of thing to find someone herself. It's just that at this moment, if he continues to stay in the house, it will only annoy Chen Jinyue, so Wang Fengyu simply went to find Chen Youzong and Liu Yuchan in person.
After a while, Chen Youzong, Liu Yuchan, and Wang Fengyu came to Chen Jinyue.
"Dad," Chen Youzong called softly.
On the way here just now, Wang Fengyu had already told the two of them the whole story.
Chen Jinyue beckoned them to sit down, and said straight to the point, "You all know each other, right?" ”
Both nodded, their expressions solemn.
"Now that you know, you should know very well that there is a powerful relationship between this. This Cold Moon Knife is quite important to our Chen Gongfu. For so many years, the reason why the emperor has been jealous of Duke Chen's Mansion is all because of it. Now, the Cold Moon Knife is gone, and Duke Chen's Mansion is going to decay. Chen Jin sighed for a long time.
Liu Yuchan lowered her head, if Duke Chen's Mansion was also defeated, then she would have no way back at all.
If his brother hadn't returned to his hometown from the court, maybe he would still have a place to go. However, now that Liu Qiaoyue's family is in Duke Chen's mansion, relying on them, how can he have hope for his brother anymore.
"Yuchan?" Chen Jinyue's voice pulled Liu Yuchan back to reality.
"Huh? Daddy, you call me? Liu Yuchan was a little dazed, not knowing what Chen Jinyue and the others said just now.
Chen Jinyue was displeased, and the matter was serious. Liu Yuchan was still absent-minded.
Liu Yuchan also sensed his displeasure, and looked at him apologetically, with an innocent look in her eyes.
Chen Jin held back his anger more and more. Again, he asked, "Do you guys have any good ideas?" The emperor will definitely summon me to the palace in the near future to discuss this matter, and when the time comes, how should I deal with it? ”
"This" Liu Yuchan muttered, and she didn't have a good idea for a while.
"Oh, Yuchan, what do you think. Even if you say it, now that everyone is discussing, you don't have any scruples. Even if it's wrong and the method isn't feasible, there's nothing wrong with it. Wang Fengyu said anxiously on the side, trying to comfort Liu Yuchan. While trying to find out what Chen Jinyue meant.
She knows. Now that Chen Jinyue is irritable, he wants to get a feasible method soon.
However, this is a big deal, and who can immediately think of a good way?
Therefore, Wang Fengyu's words just now were intended to get Chen Jinyue's approval, even if Liu Yuchan's method was inappropriate, he couldn't be angry. You can't show your face to others.
Of course, Chen Jinyue understood what she meant, and nodded. also said, "Yuchan, just say it, don't worry too much, let's all discuss, think about it, is there any way." ”
Without this scruples, Liu Yuchan suddenly put her mind at ease, and she said slowly, "Dad, mother." Now, it's just rumors out there that we've lost the Cold Moon Knife. But in fact, no one knows if it was really lost. ”
The other three all nodded.
Chen Jinyue then asked, "So what?" ”
"So, if the emperor really asks, just say that the Cold Moon Knife has not been lost, and it is still in the Chen Mansion."
Chen Jinyue frowned and thought, "If the emperor wants to see it, then what should I do?" ”
This is the crux of the matter and the one that gives him the most headache.
The emperor is not stupid, you said you didn't lose it, take it out and take a look. If you can't get something out, it's tantamount to bullying the king, and you're going to lose your head.
"If the emperor wants to see it, show him the silver token." Liu Yuchan said firmly, she had long known that Chen Jinyue would definitely ask this question.
"Show him the silver token?" Chen Jinyue repeated.
"How can this work? The silver token is a silver token, and it is not the Cold Moon Knife, where can this be prevaricated. Chen Youzong shook his head and denied.
Wang Fengyu didn't know what the difference was, and when she saw her son's opposition at this time, she couldn't make up her mind, so she had to look at Chen Jinyue.
Chen Jinyue did not immediately deny Liu Yuchan's statement, he touched his chin and looked thoughtful.
Then, he nodded and said, "Well, that's a way." ”
"Dad, how can this work, the emperor only saw the silver token, not the Cold Moon Knife, how can he believe that the Cold Moon Knife is still in our hands?" Chen Youzong immediately objected.
Chen Jinyue raised his hand and stopped Chen Youzong, "This is easy." The Cold Moon Knife has always been in our hands, and we only heard legends outside, and we know that there are gold and silver tokens on the handle of the Cold Moon Knife. We only take the silver token to the emperor, and we can say that if the cold moon knife is unsheathed, it must be bloodthirsty, which is an ominous move in the peaceful and prosperous era. I don't think the emperor will insist on letting us show the Cold Moon Knife. Chen Jinyue is still very sure of this.
"Then, isn't this a bully?" Chen Youzong was a little surprised.
Liu Yuchan's eyes sank, and she snorted disdainfully in her heart.
Chen Jinyue directly blackened his face, "Bullying the king? Your father and I, when we withheld the tribute of the Cold Moon Knife, we had already deceived the king. The emperor has not pursued it for so many years, why? It's not that I'm afraid. Are you going to let me not deceive you now? Could it be that to tell the emperor the truth, we lost the Cold Moon Knife? You are a dignified man, why can't you see the shape so clearly? ”
Chen Jinyue's words were very heavy, and Chen Youzong's face was red and white for a while.
In contrast, Liu Yuchan's appearance made Chen Jinyue very satisfied.
He waved his big hand, "Good!" That's it, if the emperor really wants to summon me into the palace, I will bring a silver token to meet him. ”
Seeing that Chen Jinyue was in a good mood, Wang Fengyu also put his mind at ease and smiled lightly.
Although Chen Youzong felt uncomfortable, he felt a little better when he saw that his father's mood had improved.
"But, Dad, we'll have to make another plan." Just when everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, Liu Yuchan suddenly said.
Chen Jinyue's face froze, and he asked curiously, "Make plans early?" What do you mean? ”
"I mean, though, this time, we can prevaricate in this way. But, Dad, think about it, where did this folk song come from? ”
Chen Jinyue thought about it and felt that it made sense, for so many years, it has been calm, why did the people suddenly spread this kind of folk song that was so unfavorable to Chen Gongfu?
There must be someone secretly who wants to deal with Chen Gongfu.
Who is it?
Seeing Chen Jinyue's depressed face, Liu Yuchan knew that he had also thought of this, in order to let the other two people present understand what they were talking about, Liu Yuchan said softly, "Someone must be trying to deal with our Chen Gongfu, so he deliberately released such a rumor." Moreover, their method of spreading rumors is very ingenious, and the folk songs sung by children, old people, peddlers and pawns are spread quickly, and the root cause cannot be found, which is really clever. ”
Chen Jinyue nodded, "Our opponent is very powerful." ”
"Huh? Who is fighting against our Chen Gongfu? When Chen Youzong heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Wang Fengyu was also surprised, but she couldn't say anything, and she couldn't think of any useful information, so she had to sit quietly aside, silent, and anxious.
Liu Yuchan shook her head.
She still doesn't know who is dealing with Chen Gongfu, and she can't even think of an object of suspicion.
Chen Jinyue coughed lightly, and then asked, "Yuchan, what do you mean by what you just said, make plans early?" ”
The eyes of the three people were all on Liu Yuchan.
"I mean, even if we reluctantly prevaricate the emperor this time, as long as we don't catch the troublemakers behind the scenes, then the Chen Mansion will still be in danger."
Chen Jinyue nodded solemnly, looked at her inquiringly, and motioned for her to continue.
"However, our opponent is so clever, it is not easy to find him out in a period of time."
The other three all nodded, and everyone's faces were very solemn.
What Liu Yuchan said was not wrong at all, this time, if she hadn't thought of this method, Duke Chen's Mansion would probably collapse soon.
"Therefore, what we can do in a short period of time is to find a backer in the DPRK." Liu Yuchan said firmly.
Chen Jinyue nodded, he liked this daughter-in-law more and more, he was even more like a general than his son, he was not afraid of danger, Mount Tai collapsed in front, and his face did not change.
"Looking for a backer?" Chen Youzong frowned, "How can it be so easy, it is not so easy to find a backer, and now it is necessary to find a backer in a short period of time, it is really, it is difficult to climb to the sky." ”
"Hey!" Chen Jinyue also sighed, what Chen Youzong said is indeed the truth, and the DPRK and China have long been formed to stand in line. Although the Chen Gongfu is not too powerful in the DPRK, it has always been relied on by others.
Now, in a short period of time, it is really rare to find a backer who is stronger than the power of the Chen Gongfu, and look at the entire court.
Just when Chen Jin was becoming more and more worried, Wang Fengyu couldn't help but ask out loud, "Yuchan, do you have any ideas?" ”
As this question was raised, Chen Youzong and Chen Jinyue couldn't help but set their eyes on Liu Yuchan again. (To be continued......)
