"It's okay," Chen Xian said busily, "Miss Zhu, don't come to harm?" ”

"Unharmed." Zhu Lingwu snorted and replied angrily.

Chen Xian's face changed slightly, and Director Li tugged at his sleeve again, signaling the husband not to worry about the 'girl' and the villain.

Seeing this, Li Ruoxue smiled and said: "Just now, Chen Gongzi and Luoyang Junyan discussed the Northern Expedition, and it seems that they have not yet exhausted the opinions in their 'chest'. ”

"Mrs. Zhao's eyes are like torches." Chen Xian's eyes rolled slightly, and he said with a smile, "Conquering the city, it is difficult for the younger generation to look at the back of the Marquis of Baoyi." However, in my 'selfish' heart, I always think that it is better to take important military affairs. Maybe I'm short-sighted, but I also know that most Kanto people don't like war, and they don't know what war is all about. They were only 'excited' by righteous indignation and wanted to repay the blood debt from the Khitans, so they agreed to the Northern Expedition. This kind of courage to sacrifice oneself for righteousness is very admired in his later years. However, as the ruler, Deng Su did not strive for 'fine' governance, but gave up his strengths and weaknesses, and made a desperate bet to compete with the Khitans in Hebei, which was not done by a wise man. Compared with the Liao State, the Song State was longer than Wenzhi and shorter than martial arts. Now that the state of the Song Kingdom has just stabilized, it has not fully recovered its vitality, and it is not the time to use troops. I believe that the abandonment of Henan in the first battle of Yelu Dashi has a great deal to do with our dynasty's light capture of Luoyang. He would rather give up Bianliang than face the joint forces of our dynasty and the Song State to attack Liao. But if Deng Su went north to Hebei, what could I do? Not to mention that the war in the west is in full swing, will Deng Su allow me to enter Hebei through Henan? Impossible......"

In front of the real person, Chen Xian cheered up his 'spirit', and his tone was also a little 'excited', but at this time, Zhu Lingwu 'interjected' and said: "Can't you take advantage of Henan, can't you go outside the Great Wall, go down to Xijing Road, go straight to Beijing, or take a detour to 'insert' Youzhou, so that the Liao people will suffer from the enemy?" She looked at Chen Xian with burning eyes, as if she was sure that he couldn't make up a reason, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, ready to raise a sarcastic smile. Chen Xian rolled his eyes, looking indifferent, looking at it made people angry. Director Li didn't know the knot in the hearts of the two, laughed dryly, and said: "Fa Zong has just returned from the Liao State, and the boat and car are tiring, ......" Before his words fell, Chen Xian spoke.

"I thought," Chen Xian 'revealed' a gentle smile, "the battlefield is too far away, and the so-called split attack is a joke." General Wu Shang's march from outside the Great Wall to Xijing Road in Liaoguo did not have much to do with the victory or defeat of the Hebei battlefield. Of course, if Miss Zhu could force Yelu Dashi not to use the tactics of cavalry running, and divide the forces equally to deal with the two-sided attack, maybe the Song army would have won the battle. Bring me a cup of tea, thank you. The last remark was addressed to the servant next to him, and he seemed careless. Zhu Lingwu was still frowning and thinking about the meaning of his words, Chen Xian took the teacup, bowed to Mrs. Zhao and said goodbye, and Shi Shiran left by himself.

Zhu Lingwu He had been so idle, staring at his back, and felt that he was indescribably hateful in his eyes.

"It seems that Chen Fazong is quite insightful." A cloud of sadness appeared on Li Ruoxue's face, "I hope I won't be taken by him." ”

"What's the insight?" Zhu Lingwu puffed up and said, "What about the emperor, his eyes are above the top, and he is narrow-minded and exaggerated." ”

Li Ruoxue almost closed her eyes helplessly. She knew that the 'female' heart was like this, and when she was angry, no matter how she hinted or explicitly said it, Zhu Lingwu could not have anything good to say about Chen Xian. "That's what Miss said." Zhu Lingwu's personal 'attendant' on the side, Qin Xin, also said angrily, "He is just a thief, and the emperor or something, it was all made up by others at the beginning." ”

"What?" Zhu Lingwu's eyes were dark, "After the anti-thief?" ”

"Yes," Qin Xin said angrily, "the master said, fortunately Miss was not deceived by him, otherwise our family would have been implicated." ”

"What...... After the thief?" Zhu Lingwu's face turned pale, and she suddenly remembered a possibility.

"Qin Xin, did you hear what the master said?" She gritted her teeth and said, "Say it all and listen to it." "There's something unusual in the air. Zhu Lingwu's tone was cold, as if he had tried a great deal to suppress his emotions. Li Ruoxue's eyes also became solemn, she followed her father to experience the disaster of Yuanyou when she was young, and when she grew up, she experienced the disaster of revealing posts with Zhao Xingde, and had to flee from Kanto to Kansai. The word "anti-thief" has a thousand weights. Unexpectedly, Chen Xian, a seemingly ordinary down-and-out royal prince, still carried such a heavy secret on his body.

"Miss, I, I'm ,......," Qin Xin saved her words at this time, "The maid also overheard what the master said, you must not tell the master." At that time, the master of the Zhu family said that there was no need to tell Zhu Lingwu about this, but since the words came to this point, with Zhu Lingwu's temper, she would never stop without asking anything, if she went to ask the master in person, I was afraid that the consequences would be worse.

After a long period of hesitation, Qin Xin explained to Zhu Lingwu what she knew.

It turned out that Chen Xian's identity as a royal relative was not impersonation, but the secret behind it was even more amazing. His grandfather, Chen Jian, was the uncle of Chen Xuan, the elder brother of the former emperor, and the only emperor of the Xia State to be impeached and removed from the throne by the Protectorate for his arbitrariness. After the impeachment, the Protectorate also retained the title for Chen Xian's father, Chen Qing, that is, Chen Jian's eldest son. However, Chen Qing "privately" formed a party and "wanted" to re-elect Chen Jian as the emperor, and was denounced. Chen Qing was sentenced to take the title by the Zhuguo Mansion, and Chen Jian, Chen Qing and his son lived in Ganzhou for life.

When Chen Jian was deposed, Chen Xian was just an infant baby, and when Chen Qing was dethroned, he was just an ignorant child who was babbling. Chen Jian, Chen Qing and his son were punished by the five provinces, and after living in Ganzhou, the two repented, and in front of Chen Xian, their grandfather and father never 'revealed' their dissatisfaction with the five mansions. According to the concept of Xia Guoren, Chen Jian's father and son have been punished, and the mistakes of the ancestors have nothing to do with Chen Xian, the descendant. Therefore, Chen Xian studied as a scribe and sought a job in the Zhuguo Mansion, which was no different from ordinary people.

Whether in the Protectorate Mansion or elsewhere, others only know that Chen Xian is a down-and-out emperor, and only a few people know that he is the queen of the deposed emperor. When I was a matchmaker, I thought the same way, so I intended to match the marriage of Chen Xian and Zhu Lingwu. But after the two 'befriended' for a period of time, Master Zhu learned of Chen Xian's identity from elsewhere, and was shocked and 'colored', and immediately stopped allowing Zhu Lingwu to interact with Chen Xian. He also knew that the 'girl' was stubborn, and if he forcibly objected, maybe she wouldn't listen, so he only secretly told that whenever Chen Xian came to Zhu Lingwu, he would refuse to do so, and if he had any letters, the servants around Zhu Lingwu could only give them to Master Zhu. If it is passed on 'privately', it will be driven out of the house at least, and at worst, the seller will be notified to the Chamber of Commerce, so that the wrongdoer will not be able to find anything to do in the Kanto and Kansai regions.

"I see, that's right." Zhu Lingwu's face was pale, and he muttered, "I thought it was ......."

With a sad look on her face, Li Ruoxue sighed lightly, reached out to hold Zhu Lingwu's palm, and felt that her palm was cold.

No matter what Zhu Lingwu thought, Chen Xian didn't feel so sad, he talked to Director Li and the others, chatting while walking.

Everyone walked around the Huanxi Garden along the stream, and then returned to the Duojinglou. Cui Qianzhi was still talking upstairs, Chen Xian came with the chief, and he couldn't leave alone. And Director Li smiled and said that he didn't 'want' to go up and make a circle, so he said goodbye to Chen Xian downstairs in Duojing. The old friends reunited, and they were more intimate than before, and they made an appointment to go to Songshan together in a few days, and the two said goodbye. Director Li and the others went out of Huanxi Garden, and the sons of the families rode all the way down the long street for changes, and some people left without interruption on the way, and finally only the two brothers of the Korean Mansion were left. The people of all 'colors' were in a hurry, and the two of them walked side by side.

"Twelfth brother," Director Li asked, "what do you think of Chen Xian?" ”

"Seems too smart." Li Jia worried, "This kid is a little slippery, will he cross the river and tear down the bridge?" ”

Director Li's face was calm, as if he was asking something very ordinary. Li Jia looked carefully left and right. Pedestrians are far away, and there is no fear that the walls have ears. On the street, it is indeed a good place to discuss secrets. "Clever?" Director Li sneered, "There are many smart people in the world. After a deposed emperor, the foundation is completely gone, what 'waves' can he turn out? He couldn't help frowning when he saw Li Jia's nervous look, this clan brother was useless. After all, Li Jia is a confidant of the clan, and he can be regarded as sharing honor and disgrace with himself, otherwise, even if he has no one to use, he will not look down on this kind of person.

"That's what my brother said." Li Jia sneered, "If it is a big achievement, it will be cheaper for him." ”

"Is it cheap?" Director Li sneered, "The big man himself refuses to sit on this son, but pushes him to come and go." I knew that this man was a fire pit, and it was not interesting to sit on it, and if he fell down, he would be crushed. Besides, this is just a preparation and not use, it is not yet known who will kill the deer......" His meaning was a little vague, Li Jia had not yet comprehended the true meaning, Li Dao said again, "Whatever, "We only do what we think is right." He lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the horse had to run lightly, and Li Jia hurriedly urged the horse to follow.

............

At the head of the multi-scene building, the banquet and poetry have come to an end temporarily, and the adults and gentlemen do not forget to point out the younger generations.

"Fazong," Cui Qianzhi asked Chen Xiandao with a smile, "After staying in Luoyang for many days, what do you think of the people here?" ”

"My lord," Chen Xian regained his spirit, "my bones are about to rust, when will you leave for Dunhuang?" ”

"Life is full of learning!" Cui Qianzhi didn't think it was angry, but said with a smile, "Fazong, you should think ahead!" ”

"That's what my lord said." Chen Xian arched his hand, and there was no pain on his face to change his past wrongs. Cui Qianzhi only shook his head and did not blame him. The two of them have experienced a lot of hardships and humiliations in Shangjing, and they can be said to share weal and woe, live and die together, and their affection far exceeds that of ordinary officials and subordinates, and they speak very casually. Chen Xian's identity, Cui Qianzhi is very clear, and he doesn't care. Although the Wufu may not care about this little grandson of the abolished emperor, if Chen Xian does not have outstanding achievements, it is difficult for the people above to think of cultivating him.
