Chapter 279: Pursuit

Zhao Chongyi's heart moved and said: "Actually, I have something I want to discuss with the people at home. My father told me about it. He is actually not happy in Dachu now, mainly because of his high merits, and in Dachu, the emperor and the prince are not very at ease with him. However, the father-in-law should know. My father can actually have today's status, our Zhao family, and the Zhongyi Mansion can have today, all of which were established by my father. My father was able to build all of this because he had extraordinary military talent. ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded and said, "The military talent of the old loyal and righteous prince is what the emperor admires the most. When he first got Lao Zhongyigong, the emperor said that he should deal with the barbarians and expand his territory on Lao Zhongyigong. Later events confirmed that the emperor's vision was good. Lao Zhongyi really fulfilled his promise to the emperor, defeated the barbarians, and expanded the territory. A genius like Lao Zhongyigong may only produce one in hundreds of years. Now is the time of the prime of life, but he is forced to be idle, and his heart must not be happy. It's also a waste for Da Chu. But for the sake of the stability of the imperial power, this had to be like this. Ay. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "However, my father is not willing to be dormant, he does not want power and wealth, nor does he want imperial power, he has always been loyal to the emperor, the crown prince, and Dachu." However, he was born to belong to the battlefield, and it was really worse for him not to fight than to kill him. So, he had an idea. ”

Chen Wenhui faintly felt that she could guess what it was, and couldn't help asking, "What do you think?" ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "He hopes to go to Nanyang to fight. ”

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone was shocked. Chen Wenhui smiled slightly.

For a while, no one spoke. After a while, Chen Wenhui said: "Since it is my father-in-law's idea, I don't think there is anything bad. Nanyang is not the territory of the Great Chu Emperor, it is the territory of our family. We are not afraid of this military genius's high merits. Also, originally, there were too many cities in Nanyang, and the battle line was too long, and the second sister-in-law couldn't take care of it alone. If only the second brother didn't have to go to war, the matter of war. It's all handed over to my father-in-law. The second brother can manage the entire city of Nanyang with his second sister-in-law, so there is no need to worry. Our plans will be even more complete. ”

Chen Yuanheng groaned for a while and did not speak. Chen Wenlin said: "Originally, I was also worried that Mei Ying would not be able to cope with it alone. It is also necessary to manage the development of the old city. It is also necessary to build a new city. Now that's how it was arranged. I will be able to manage the construction of my new towns on the islands of Java and Sumatra. Mei Ying manages Qingchun City, Tianshui City, and two other cities on Mindanao. Such eight cities. Our husband and wife are each in charge of four, and we can still handle it. ”

Chen Wenhui looked at Mei Ying's relieved appearance, and didn't feel like she laughed.

It's all on the second sister-in-law's body, it's really too difficult for her. Especially the construction of new cities, there are a lot of things, if the second brother takes over the construction of these new cities, and the second sister-in-law just assists a few deputy city lords to manage the cities that have been built, it will be much easier. Moreover, the eldest brother already has two children, and the second brother and the second sister-in-law must have children as soon as possible. In this way, the Xiao Chen family can continue to grow, and in the future, it will be able to complete the possession of a larger territory and develop the family power.

Thinking about it, I can understand why my father-in-law attached so much importance to his marriage from the beginning, and my mother-in-law looked for her stubble several times, but was stopped by my father-in-law. It seems that my father-in-law is a war maniac, he doesn't value fame and fortune, as long as there is a war. Although there are still wars in the northwest of Great Chu now, they are all sporadic battles, and the emperor and the crown prince are not worried that he will stay in the northwest anymore.

In this way, Nanyang is a good place for him to develop. It must be very tragic for the natives there to usher in such a god of war. Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui laughed.

Chen Yuanheng thought about it for a long time and said, "This matter has to be considered in the long run. I guess that with the emperor's temperament, he should not agree. However, the crown prince had a good impression of the old loyal and righteous father. Moreover, the relationship between the prince and Chongyi is very good, and he should agree to this request of Lao Zhongyi. However, at this stage, it is better not to make a noise. ”

As soon as they said this, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi both understood. It seems that as long as the old emperor is in one day, the old loyal and righteous prince will want to go out of the mountain. However, if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, the current queen, the future queen mother, the future queen Chen Wenfeng, Chen Yuanheng, Liu Jingyuan, and Zhao Chongyi will go out of the mountain and go to Nanyang together, and the prince will still agree.

Chen Wenhui wanted to laugh a little, the old loyal and righteous prince has been loyal to the current emperor all his life, after all, this emperor has the grace of knowing him, and he can be called the current prince from a poor person, all of which are given by the emperor. However, the forced seclusion of the old Zhongyi Gong, who is now in his prime, is also caused by the emperor's suspicions. It's really a success, Xiao He, a defeat, Xiao He. If the old loyal and righteous prince knew that his hope of returning to the battlefield was when the old emperor died, I don't know how he would feel?

Zhao Chongyi was very happy. He has always had a good relationship with his father, and he can't bear to see his father living in such a down-and-out seclusion, as a son, as a former subordinate of his father, he can understand his father's heart that yearns for the battlefield. Therefore, the battlefield is my father's destination. If he could help his father return to the battlefield, he would be willing.

Chen Wenjun smiled and said, "It's okay now, the war on the second brother's side is more certain." Originally, those natives were just a plate of scattered sand, and now let Lao Zhongyi go to Nanyang to exterminate them, isn't it like a tiger into the flock? It's a pity, why don't I have such a good general who can go to war with the king of the Wa Kingdom for me? Poor me, I still have to fight, I still have to stabilize the territory, and the military and political affairs are grasped, how hard it is. Yizhou Island can't take care of it at all, it's really hard for Meizhen. ”

Wan Meizhen smiled.

Zhao Chongyi's heart moved, and he opened his mouth and said, "Actually, I have another person I can recommend to you." ”

Chen Wenjun's heart moved, and he said: "Ah, are you talking about your eldest brother, the current loyal and righteous father?" ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said: "Yes, actually, my eldest brother is a fierce general, and his military talent is also very good, anyway, he is better than me, and he has followed my father on the battlefield since he was a child." He did not live well in the capital, and often missed his life with the soldiers at the border pass. It's a pity that now he can only be an idle prince in the capital. If you can let him help you fight in the Wa Kingdom, he will be very happy, but I don't know if the emperor can agree or if the prince can agree. ”

Wan Meizhen was happy when she heard it, wouldn't it be good if someone could really help Chen Wenjun fight? The son of a daughter can't sit down, which one should be the wife's original intention to go to war on the battlefield? Every time Chen Wenjun went to the Wa Kingdom, Wan Meizhen was worried. If there is someone to fight for her husband, then she only needs to command behind the scenes, and manage some government affairs in the territory, which will be much safer, and she can also help her on Yizhou Island.

Chen Yuanheng smiled and said, "You two brothers will be lazy. However, it should be easier to ask the loyal and righteous to go out of the mountain than to ask the old loyal and righteous to go out of the mountain. The emperor and the crown prince were suspicious of the old loyalty, and they took precautions, but they did not have loyalty. I think even if I ask the emperor now, the emperor will agree. Although the Wa Kingdom fully won the territory of our Xiao Chen family, it can be regarded as belonging to the Great Chu, and after the entire Wa Kingdom is taken, there will be an additional barrier for the Great Chu in the future. It is also to expand the territory of Dachu. The emperor will also be happy. It's just that, I don't know, is Zhongyi Gong willing to go to our Xiao Chen family's territory to fight for us? ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry about this." My father and eldest brother are both war maniacs, and as long as they can stay in the army, they will practice all day long, and they will not have enough food or warm clothes all day long, and they will be happy in their hearts. But in the mansion in the capital, living a life of fine clothes and fine food, every day is surrounded by beads, and he is not happy, so he has to borrow wine to drown his sorrows. If he can let others return to the battlefield, not to mention leading the troops to fight the Japanese country, or let him be a horseman, he will do it all. ”

Everyone laughed at this.

Zhao Chongyi said: "If Brother Jun and my father-in-law agree, I will go back and talk to my eldest brother, and after I have said it, I will ask my father-in-law and Brother Jun to ask the emperor to let my eldest brother go to fight the world for Brother Jun first." As for my father's affairs, I'll see the opportunity later. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This is a good idea, step by step, but, mother, I still have to talk to the queen mother about this matter first." It would be better for the queen to help her. ”

Bai Shi nodded and said, "The queen mother now attaches great importance to overseas affairs. As long as she can help our Xiao Chen family, she will help. After all, our Xiao Chen family is good, and our overseas territory is stable, which can bring great help to Princess Lichuan's Siamese territory. In the final analysis, the closest person to the queen in this world is Princess Lichuan. ”

Everyone nodded.

Chen Wenhui asked: "According to common sense, if the eldest princess is absent one day, shouldn't Princess Lichuan become the eldest princess?" ”

Bai said: "The queen mother doesn't want Princess Lichuan to be the eldest princess, and there is no special benefit for it. If Princess Lichuan didn't have overseas territories, the queen would still like Princess Lichuan to be the eldest princess, but now that Princess Lichuan has built a city overseas, isn't this better than being the eldest princess? Besides, everyone knows that the emperor is partial to Princess Huichuan. The queen mother is now giving a qiē to Princess Huichuan, and the emperor is even more guilty, but he is afraid that the more benefits he will leave for Princess Lichuan. This method of retreating is better than anyone else. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Needless to say, the eldest princess will be Princess Huichuan in the future." What about the Shihuang concubine? (To be continued......)
