Emperor Jia Kangdi shook his head in disappointment and said in a deep voice: "Chen Yan, whether today's incident is your cause or not, but what you said in the main hall just now really disappointed me. From now on, you are not allowed to leave your own courtyard unless you have the will of you, and the scriptures you have copied every day must be sent to the palace for inspection by me. ”

Murong Chenyan looked up at Emperor Jia Kangdi in disbelief, there was a feeling that the end of the world was coming, wouldn't being able to go out mean cutting off his future?

"Your Majesty, the ministers will strictly guard this rebel and will never let him make mistakes again." Prince Ying immediately stepped forward and thanked him gratefully.

Emperor Jia Kang waved his hand and said, "Prince Ying, take Chen Yan down." ”

"Yes, I obey." After Prince Ying saluted, he stepped forward to pull Murong Chenyan, who was in a sluggish state.

How could Murong Chenyan be obedient, struggling and crying: "Your Majesty, Father, you can't treat me like this, I haven't done anything wrong." Your Majesty, Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Jiakang shouted impatiently: "Come on, tie up Murong Chenyan and escort him back to Prince Ying's mansion, you are guarding outside the courtyard, and no one is allowed to let him out without my instructions." ”

The two guards who came in from the door nodded and replied, "Yes, the subordinates obey the order." ”

After speaking, the two guards gagged Murong Chenyan's mouth and dragged him out like a little chicken.

Prince Ying was a little ashamed and didn't know what to say, and silently withdrew from the Qinzheng Palace.

Jia Kangdi knew that now was not the time to speak, so he turned his head directly to look at Ye Yuan.

"Ye Yuan, in vain, you have followed Sun Wangye to fight for many years, and you actually said that a person who has never been on the battlefield will lead troops to fight. Now he is demoted by one level, and he is the middle of the military department, and he will be sealed for one year to set an example. ”

As soon as Emperor Jiakang's words fell, Gonggong Chen ordered someone to take off Ye Yuan's official hat and robe.

Although he was downgraded by one level, he was lucky enough to escape, and quickly knelt on the ground to thank him.

"Long live Emperor Xie Wu, long live, long live!"

Jiakangdi gave a faint help and said, "Get up." ”

Seeing that Emperor Jia Kangdi did not punish Ye Yuan too heavily, Sun Wangye was also relieved, and followed the thanksgiving: "Thank you for your kindness, Ye Yuan is inevitably reckless when he is young, it is the old minister who did not teach well, and the old minister is ashamed." ”

The corners of Emperor Jiakang's mouth stiffened, and he smiled: "Sun Wangye is the minister of the humerus, how can Ye Yuan's matter be blamed on Sun Wangye's head." All right, all of you, stand down, I'm tired. ”

"Yes, the minister retired."

Sun Wangye and Ye Yuan said in unison.

After Sun Wangye and Ye Yuan walked away, Emperor Jia Kang asked Gonggong Chen to call Zhongyong Gong and Yuan Shangshu over.

"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

Zhongyong Gong and Yuan Shangshu said in unison.

Jiakangdi said weakly: "Get up." Let's start by saying who is better to send at sunrise. ”

Duke Zhongyong and Yuan Shangshu knew that Murong Chenyan was a royal person after all, and coupled with the relationship between Prince Ying, Emperor Jiakang would also force this matter down. Although they were very unhappy, the two still tacitly agreed not to mention it.

Seeing that the two were silent, Jia Kangdi asked again: "Why, why don't the two Aiqing speak?" Zhongyong Gong, you talk about it first. ”

Zhongyong Gong paused, stepped forward and said: "Back to the emperor, Ye Yuan said one thing just now is not wrong, the generals who stayed in Beijing basically have positions, and they are not idle at home. It is better for the old minister to take the army with him personally, and it will not take much time to return to Beijing after it is handed over to Yuan Gang. ”

Yuan Shangshu thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's not completely unavailable, the minister remembers that when General Murong went out to fight, it was just when the recruits entered the campaign. At that time, General Murong did not take the recruits away, but left an adjutant general to train these recruits in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. Why don't you send this lieutenant tomorrow. ”

Jia Kangdi nodded a little tiredly, and said: "Then let's do it, as for the training of recruits, I will leave it to you." Stand down, all of you. ”

"Yes, the minister obeys."

Zhongyong Gong and Yuan Shangshu responded in unison.

After leaving the palace, Duke Zhongyong and Yuan Shangshu went to work separately, while Ye Yuan on the other side knelt in Sun Wangye's study.

Sun Wangye glared and scolded: "You tell me the truth, why did you say that, did Chen Yan tell you something?" ”

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I've heard Chen Yan tell me a lot of times, so I want to help him fight for opportunities, no, I didn't expect that it would make the emperor angry." ”

Sun Wangye stepped forward and kicked him, "Didn't I just give Chen Yan a chance?" Fools know that it is impossible for a person who has not fought to lead troops, and you are still sending forward, are you stupid or did Chen Yan tell you something? You're still not telling me the truth! ”

Ye Yuan rubbed his aching buttocks, and said with a bitter face: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law is also forced to be helpless. Although Chen Yan is the concubine of Prince Ying's mansion, he is also a relative of the emperor, and I dare not do what he asked me to do. Otherwise, he will make me a stumbling block, and it will be enough for me. ”

Sun Wangye asked in shock, "Did he really let you say that?" Let him take the army to Xishu? ”

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, Chen Yan said that as long as I finish this matter, I will find a way to let me sit in the position of the secretary of the military department in the future." I'm sorry, father-in-law, my son-in-law knew that I was wrong, I was really blinded by lard, how could I listen to him. ”

Sun Wangye glared at Ye Yuan very ironclad and scolded: "You have lived in vain all these years!" Don't I want you to sit in the military department? Don't I want him to go to war with his troops? Things must not be planned step by step.

Let's talk about you first, whether it is about military merit or family background, then Yuan Hongjie is a step above you, not to mention that he also has a brother-in-law who is guarding Indigo, General Zhen Yuanda. In terms of being a man, this person is not only mediocre but also very cunning, never stands in line, and rarely makes friends with people, no one can get his mistakes for so many years, so he can sit firmly in the military department for so many years.

It's already the limit that you can be a soldier in the military department, and the reason why I recommend you to take Chen Yan with you is to leave a good impression on Prince Ying. You think, when you get to Xishu, you find an opportunity to show Chen Yan, once he has made meritorious service, he will slowly gain a foothold in the army, and then there will be two generals in Prince Ying's mansion, what a glory it is. When Chen Yan has military power, is it still difficult for you to want that military department book?

A good move was ruined by you two fools! It's almost so much that I am suspected by the emperor, and I don't have the ability to see things! Next time, see if I care if you live or die! ”

Ye Yuan nodded again and again: "It's my son-in-law's fault, I won't dare to act indiscriminately in the future." But whatever Chen Yan said to me in the future, I will tell your father-in-law as soon as possible. ”

Ye Yuan's last sentence made Sun Wangye more satisfied, and his originally serious face was finally no longer tense.

"You remember what you said! As for Chen Yan leading the troops to fight, don't mention it, you have also seen the attitude of the emperor and Prince Ying, they are obviously unwilling to Chen Yan to get involved in this military power. Chen Yan's affairs have to be slow, at least he can't move for now, and it's not too late to make plans when the emperor is angry. ”

Sun Wangye said and sat back on the Taishi chair and took a sip of tea.

Ye Yuan frowned and said, "I don't think Chen Yan can calm down, otherwise he wouldn't have come to me." ”

Sun Wangye pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Get up and sit." ”

"Father-in-law Xie." Ye Yuan rubbed his buttocks and limped to the side and sat down.

Sun Wangye turned his head sideways and asked, "Do you think Chen Yan will be able to succeed in the future?" ”

These words suddenly made Ye Yuan difficult, saying that it couldn't be done, in case it reached Murong Chenyan's ears one day, it would offend people; said that it could be a weapon, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor and Prince Ying did not intend to reuse Murong Chenyan.

"Is that hard to answer?" Sun Wangye asked with a smile.

Ye Yuan sighed and said, "This matter depends on the emperor and Prince Ying, if they want him to become a weapon, he can become a weapon; If they don't want him to succeed, then what we do is going to happen to me today. If it weren't for my father-in-law today, I'm afraid my fate would have been even worse. ”

Sun Wangye nodded and said: "You are right, in the future, you must firmly remember your words today, although Chen Yan is my grandson, he is a royal person, so his business is the royal business, we can only follow the emperor's wishes, otherwise it will only be worse than your fate today." ”

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Father-in-law Xie mentions it." ”

Maybe even Murong Chenyan didn't expect that the support and assistance he originally had would actually leave because of his ambitions. But what he didn't expect was that Prince Ying was so determined that he drove everyone in his courtyard, including the concubines, out.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Murong Chenyan felt depressed for the first time, and a sense of powerlessness arose.

The more Prince Ying looked at Murong Chenyan, the more angry he became, and shouted loudly: "Come here, invite the family law." ”

After a while, the guard handed over a long ring ruler. Prince Ying picked up the ring ruler and pumped it on Murong Chenyan's body, Murong Chenyan gritted his teeth and didn't shout.

It wasn't until he was tired that Prince Ying let go, pointed at Murong Chenyan's head and scolded: "Stay in it and reflect, and next time it won't be as simple as a ruler." ”

Murong Chenyan lowered his head and asked, "It's because I'm a concubine, right?" ”

Prince Ying, who walked to the door, tightened his back, turned around, and said, "Don't talk to your concubine and concubine, think about what you did today." Either confess or be locked up in this courtyard forever. ”

After speaking, Prince Ying no longer paid attention to Murong Chenyan and strode out.

"Hahaha, isn't it because I'm a concubine? If today's events had changed to the eldest brother or the second brother, would it still be my current ending? Murong Chenyan stood there and laughed wildly.

But the only thing that responded to Murong Chenyan was the loneliness in this courtyard.

Concubine Sun learned that Murong Chenyan was escorted back by the palace guards, so she hurriedly ran over to visit Murong Chenyan, but she didn't expect to be stopped outside by the guards at the door.

"Presumptuous, you dare to stop this side concubine! Ate bear heart leopard gall? Concubine Sun scolded angrily.

One of the guards stepped forward, showed the waist card of the Imperial Forest Army, and said, "By the emperor's order, no one is allowed to enter or leave the World Security Courtyard." ”

Concubine Sun gritted her teeth, and had to shout inside at the top of her throat: "Chen Yan, Chen Yan, are you okay?" What the hell is going on? Chen Yan, answer me quickly. Chenyan! Chenyan! ”

Although Concubine Sun shouted several times with all her might, there was still no one to respond to her.

In desperation, Concubine Sun had to go to Prince Ying for help.

But the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind!

As soon as Concubine Sun walked to the door of Prince Ying's study, she was stopped by the guards.

Concubine Sun ate two closed soups in a row, and scolded angrily: "Presumptuous, don't let this side concubine come!" Otherwise, I'll let the prince clean you up! ”

The guard saluted respectfully and said, "Concubine Niangniang, the prince said that you should go back and rest, and he has his own arrangements for things in the house." The prince also said that the county lord of Changle is not small, and sooner or later he will have to find a mother-in-law, so that you can take care of the temper of the county lord of Changle now, and don't worry about other things. ”

Concubine Sun staggered and took two steps back, her eyes full of shock.
