Chapter 240: Losing the Silver Token
When Chen Jinyue was summoned to the palace, he was still very apprehensive in his heart.
Although, in the Chen Gong's Mansion before, the countermeasures have been discussed. However, what you have to face in a while is the majestic emperor after all.
The place where the emperor summoned Chen Jinyue was to go to the study, at this time, the emperor was under the service of the little father-in-law, reviewing the folds, although he saw Chen Jinyue coming in, he was silent, and continued to work on the things in his hands.
Hanging Chen Jinyue aside in this way really made him panic, and after a while, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Chen Jinyue's head.
After a long time, the emperor finally folded the music in his hand, put it aside, and then waved his hand, signaling the little father-in-law on the side to withdraw.
"Chen Aiqing, how are you doing lately?" The emperor looked at Chen Jinyue with a smile, and the expression on his face made it impossible to see the true thoughts in his heart.
Chen Jin replied respectfully, "Back to the emperor, the micro-minister is blessed with the saint, and his body is healthy." ”
"Hehe, I look at Chen Aiqing, she is old and strong, and she is old and strong, and she is ambitious." When the emperor said this, his eyes were a little meaningful.
Chen Jinyue didn't dare to answer this, and only smiled awkwardly.
Saying that he is old and ambitious, doesn't this mean that he wants to continue to go to the battlefield? Next, the emperor is afraid that he is going to bring up the topic of the Cold Moon Knife.
Sure enough, the emperor then asked, "If Chen Aiqing returns to the battlefield now, it will definitely make the rebel army on the frontier afraid and flee." Your Cold Moon Knife is terrifying. ”
"Ahh
Seeing that Chen Jinyue did not answer. The emperor frowned slightly, and stopped going around the bend with him, and asked directly, "Chen Aiqing." I recently heard some news that the Cold Moon Knife was lost in your hand? ”
Chen Jinyue felt that his legs were weak, and he almost couldn't stand, so he was busy calming himself. Stabilize his mind, and then said slowly, "Your Majesty, this is just a rumor from the outside world. The Cold Moon Knife has always been in Duke Chen's Mansion and has been well kept. ”
"Really?" The emperor looked at him suspiciously.
Chen Jin was more and more busy bowing down, and kept saying, "It's true." Weichen did not dare to deceive the emperor. ”
"Good!" The emperor's expression. At this time, it is a little subtle, as if I am relieved, and I seem to be a little disappointed.
"Chen Aiqing"
"Wechen is here."
"I've never seen this Cold Moon Knife before, so I'm very curious. Before, you used it to fight on the battlefield, as the right path, and I didn't have a chance to see it. And now. The world is peaceful, and it is a prosperous age. The Cold Moon Knife doesn't have to kill enemies anymore, but I really want to see what this Cold Moon Knife looks like. ”
Chen Jinyue's heart sank, he should have come, he still came.
The meaning of the emperor's words is already obvious.
Now, it is a peaceful and prosperous era, and there is no need for the Cold Moon Knife to fight on the battlefield, nor does he need Chen Jinyue to fight on the battlefield, so why should the Cold Moon Knife be placed in the Chen Gong's Mansion? Isn't it time to return it to its rightful owner? After all, this Cold Moon Knife was originally a tribute, and it should have been presented to the emperor a long time ago.
"Your Majesty, you don't know anything. This Cold Moon Knife is angry, and it will be bloodthirsty when it is born. Therefore, in the peaceful and prosperous era, Weichen has always hidden it in the snow and prevented it from seeing the light of day, so as not to attract war. ”
"The Cold Moon Knife was born bloodthirsty? How come I haven't heard of it? The emperor asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has used the Cold Moon Knife for many years, and when he fought on the battlefield, he was with it every day, and he was most familiar with its temperament."
The emperor is still a little suspicious.
Chen Jinyue continued, "This Cold Moon Knife, the most important thing, is the two tokens on the hilt, one gold and one silver. These two tokens are combined and placed in the water, and the Cold Moon Knife will be revealed. Once manifested, it must be bloodthirsty. So, when not in use, be sure to place the two tokens separately. ”
The look in the emperor's eyes was a little puzzled, "How did I hear that these two tokens, if they are both positive, can save lives and help the injured, even if the muscles rot, they can also grow good skin again." If it is placed in reverse, it will be bloodthirsty, and it will ulcerate when it touches the skin. ”
Chen Jinyue shook his head again and again, "There is no such thing, Your Majesty, this is all the outside world, and the Cold Moon Knife has been deified with false rumors." There is no such amazing thing in the world. ”
The emperor began to be vigilant in his heart, this Chen Jinyue has been shirking, could it be that the Cold Moon Knife has really been lost in his hands as rumored by the outside world?
"Chen Aiqing, according to your meaning, if I want to see this Cold Moon Knife, I can only take a look at one of the tokens?"
"Exactly."
"Did you bring it?"
"Back to the emperor, Weichen brought it."
After speaking, Chen Jinyue took out a delicate small wooden box from his arms, opened it gently, and presented it to the emperor with both hands.
The emperor raised his eyes and took a look, only to see that in the wooden box, there was a silver token, and there was a gilded word 'order' on the brand.
It seems to be very ordinary, and the emperor is not quite sure whether this token is Chen Jinyue who found a piece of it casually to fool himself.
However, one thing is certain, that is, Chen Jinyue's Cold Moon Knife must have been lost. Even if this silver token is real, the other gold token must have been lost.
Why? Because, before the emperor summoned Chen Jinyue into the palace, he did not sue him, and he summoned him himself, why.
And Chen Jinyue carried the silver token in his arms.
This shows that he knows it well, and I am looking for him today for the matter of the Cold Moon Knife.
Even if it was really as he said, the two tokens of the Cold Moon Knife could not be put together, and the Cold Moon Knife would be bloodthirsty when it was born.
So what's the matter, the dignified son of heaven, will it be difficult to find someone to sacrifice the knife?
Therefore, it can be seen from all kinds of signs that this Cold Moon Knife must have been lost.
"Chen Aiqing, this silver token, just stay here with me."
"Huh? The"
Chen Jinyue didn't expect that the emperor would actually leave this silver token. He originally planned to let him take a look at it and let the emperor believe that the Cold Moon Knife was not lost and was still in the hands of Duke Chen's Mansion.
But. He never expected that the emperor would actually leave this silver token, what should he do?
If the emperor really left the silver token. Then Gong Chen's Mansion really completely lost the Cold Moon Knife!
"Your Majesty, this Cold Moon Knife should be placed here by Weichen."
"Huh? What are you doing there? ”
"After all, this Weichen is a military general, if, in the future, the frontier changes, and when Weichen needs to fight on the battlefield again"
"When the time comes. I will give you back this token. "The emperor seems to have made up his mind.
"But"
"It's nothing, didn't you say it too, these two tokens. It can't be put together, just now, the silver token is placed here in me, and the gold token is placed in you. It can also ensure the peace and prosperity of the world. The world is at peace. ”
Chen Jinyue still wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say a word in the emperor's slightly narrowed eyes.
"Yes, Wechen obeys."
"Go down." When the emperor saw that he agreed, he had nothing more to say to him, so he waved his hand. Let Chen go in and out.
Chen Jinyue retreated in frustration and returned to the Chen Mansion in a daze.
"What? Master. Why did the emperor keep the silver token? Did he know something? After listening to what Chen Jinyue said, Wang Fengyu couldn't help but worry.
"I think so, what kind of person is the emperor, how can he be deceived so lightly? I guess he must have known about the theft of the Cold Moon Knife. It's just that seeing that I took out the silver token, it was not good to immediately cure my crime, so I temporarily withheld it. Chen Jinyue sat on the chair, raised his hand, and supported his forehead, looking like he had a headache.
"What then? Master, let's discuss it with Yuchan, right? I think she's always had the most ideas. ”
Wang Fengyu also had a headache at this time, they still had illusions in their hearts before, hoping that after seeing the silver token, the emperor could believe that the cold moon was still in the Chen Mansion, and continued to believe and reuse the Chen Mansion as in the past.
However, today, the emperor left the silver token, and they have already shattered their illusions.
The emperor already knew that the Cold Moon Knife had been stolen, but he hadn't been convicted immediately.
Next, Youzong is in the government and the opposition, I am afraid that he will be excluded and will no longer be reused.
"Okay, you go and call her." Chen Jinyue rubbed his temples and closed his eyes vigorously, as if he was exhausted.
"Okay, I'll go."
After speaking, Wang Fengyu hurriedly walked outside the house.
"Wait"
"What's wrong? Anything else? ”
"That Youzong also called over, he also wants to know about this matter, and the sooner he knows, the better."
Wang Fengyu looked at Chen Jinyue worriedly, and saw that his expression was determined, and there was no room for negotiation, so he nodded, "Okay, I'll call him over too." ”
Originally, Wang Fengyu didn't want to call Chen Youzong over at this time and let him know about this matter.
Her own son, she knew.
Chen Youzong has courage and no strategy, and he has no heart. He knew this kind of thing, and he knew that it would only increase his anxiety.
However, since the master has already spoken, it can be seen that this matter is already very urgent, and everyone must immediately participate in it and discuss the best countermeasures.
"Dad, why don't we run away?"
As soon as Liu Yuchan and Chen Youzong arrived, Chen Youzong said this.
Chen Jinyue frowned lightly, and his eyes involuntarily looked at Wang Fengyu.
Wang Fengyu's face was a little unnatural, and she nodded, "I'm on the way here, and I've already told them about it." ”
However, even a woman like her knows how stupid Chen Youzong's words are.
The whole world is not the king's land, where can you flee to? Even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, as long as the emperor says a word, he will be arrested in minutes.
Sure enough, Chen Jinyue frowned and looked at Chen Youzong with displeasure, "Where did you flee to?" Well? ”
At this moment, Chen Youzong couldn't answer a reason, he opened his mouth and didn't say a word for a long time.
"Humph! Bastard thing! You've lived for so many years in vain, and you can say such stupid things. ”
Facing Chen Jinyue's reprimand, Chen Youzong lowered his head in embarrassment.
Wang Fengyu hurriedly reassured, "Master, don't be angry. Youzong was also anxious. ”
"Impatient? Can you say such stupid things in a hurry? If he goes to the battlefield to lead the soldiers, and he is in a hurry, isn't he going to take the soldiers to lose their armor? ”
The more Chen Jin thought about it, the more angry he became.
Wang Fengyu didn't dare to speak for Chen Youzong, she knew that as long as Chen Jinyue contacted to lead troops to fight, it would mean that he was really angry.
Liu Yuchan stood aside all the time and didn't say a word.
Seeing this, Wang Fengyu hurriedly said, "Yuchan, if you have any ideas, tell me about it." ”
She knew that Chen Jinyue liked Liu Yuchan the most, and as long as she opened her mouth, Chen Jinyue would definitely be angry.
When Liu Yuchan heard this, she hurriedly bent down and gave a salute, and said warmly, "At present, it is indeed possible that the emperor may suspect Duke Chen's Mansion and lose the Cold Moon Knife. ”
Chen Jinyue's attention was attracted by Liu Yuchan, and he stopped scolding Chen Youzong, and asked instead, "Then what should we do now?" ”
Liu Yuchan raised her eyes and looked at Chen Jinyue, "However, the emperor is just suspicious." If he is sure, today, Dad, you may not be able to come back. ”
When Wang Fengyu heard this, she gasped, she looked at Chen Jinyue worriedly, and her body involuntarily leaned towards him, as if she was afraid that he would be taken away by the emperor.
Chen Jinyue was silent, what he was most concerned about at this time was what could be resolved, not about these useless things.
If it were Chen Youzong, Chen Jinyue would definitely open his mouth to scold.
However, for Liu Yuchan, Chen Jinyue's patience is still very good.
Liu Yuchan also sensed Chen Jinyue's feelings, and hurriedly said, "At present, there is only one way to resolve it. ”
"How?" Chen Jinyue is waiting for this sentence.
"It's still what I said last time, let Qiaoyue participate in the concubine selection ceremony of the six princes, and it must be successful."
After listening to this, Chen Jinyue nodded slowly, "Indeed, at present, only in this way can there be room for turnaround." ”
"It's useless to let Qiaoyue go to the concubine selection ceremony. But the question is, how can you guarantee that it will be successful? How can we control the intentions of these six princes? Wang Fengyu said worriedly on the side.
What she said was indeed a very critical issue, and Chen Jinyue's eyes involuntarily turned to Liu Yuchan, hoping that she could find a way.
Liu Yuchan frowned slightly, "I'm also thinking about this, at present, there is no better way." ”
"Hey" Hearing that Liu Yuchan couldn't help it, Wang Fengyu couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Youzong looked at Chen Jinyue and said tentatively, "It's very simple to let the six princes choose Qiaoyue." ”
"What can you do?" Wang Fengyu hurriedly asked.
Chen Jinyue just turned his head to look at him coldly. In Chen Jinyue's opinion, his son, under normal circumstances, can't come up with any good ideas.
"As long as you dress up nicely, you'll be fine." Chen Youzong thinks that it is so simple. What man doesn't love beauty, as long as he is beautiful enough, he will definitely be chosen.
“”
“”
Really! What Chen Youzong said was tantamount to not saying it.
Chen Jinyue shouted angrily, "The people who go to participate in the selection of concubines are all famous ladies, which one is not dressed up gracefully and luxuriously, and looks like a fairy?" Are you a pig brain? ”
Chen Youzong hurriedly closed his mouth, lowered his head, and thought aggrievedly in his heart: If I am a pig brain, you are my father, aren't you also a pig brain? (To be continued......)
