Chapter 817: Into Chu
Chen Ping's words are very much in line with Li Yu's wishes.
After Chen Ping finished speaking, Li Yu nodded: "Very good, tomorrow, I will be in the court, and I will arrange an official position for you, which will definitely satisfy you." ”
Chen Ping did not doubt Li Yu's words.
A son of heaven who can run in person, what else does he have to doubt?
However, he refused.
"Holy Lord, the matter of sealing the official can be slowed down, and after the minister goes to the Chu State and helps you separate Fan Zeng and Chu Yu, it is not too late to reward you."
Li Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "So, Chen Aiqing is really going to go to Chu State?" ”
"Nature."
Li Yu nodded: "Okay, if you need anything, just tell me directly." ”
"I don't need much, just give the minister enough gold, silver and jewelry."
Hearing that Chen Ping asked for gold, silver and jewelry, Xu Maogong pursed his lips, but Li Yu laughed: "Okay, there is no problem." ”
After saying this, Tang Yu returned to the palace, and Chen Ping had to rest for a day or two before going to Chu State.
And after Li Yu returned to the palace, he told Queen Su Rong about these situations, and after listening to this, Su Rong smiled: "Shengshang, you really trust Chen Ping so much, I think he is a money fraud, and the matter has not been done yet, so he wants money." No matter who listened to Chen Ping's words, they would feel that Chen Ping seemed to be a money cheater, but Li Yu didn't care, and said: "The queen doesn't know, when she went to Chu State, many things have to be taken care of, and it won't work without money, his request is right, if he wants money, I don't worry about letting him go." ”
Su Rong pursed her lips, feeling that Li Yu's thoughts were really strange.
"Holy Lord, do you think Chen Ping can separate Fan Zeng and Chu Yu, I heard that Chu Yu has a lot of trust in Fan Zeng, almost to the point of obeying his words."
"Don't worry, there will be no problem."
For this, Li Yu is very confident.
The two said this, Chen Ping's arrival did not cause much noise in Chang'an City, and even, many people did not know about his arrival.
Two days after Chen Ping came to Chang'an City, he set off in a carriage and rushed to the state of Chu.
The capital of Chu is in Jiangcheng, some distance from Jincheng, but it is not particularly far, Jiangcheng is not in Shuzhong, relatively speaking, it is still very prosperous.
Chen Ping set off from Chang'an City, about half a month later, came to Jiangcheng, the capital of Chu State, and at this time, it means that in the late autumn and early winter, the weather in Jiangcheng can't help but be much colder.
After coming to Jiangcheng, Chen Ping was not in a hurry, but first bought a mansion with money, which was not big, but it was not small, so that people could not see his net worth, and he felt normal.
After he bought a house in Jiangcheng, he lived there, and then played in Jiangcheng for a few days, and what he played was not acceptable to others.
For example, spending a lot of money in Qinglou, going to the best restaurant, drinking the best wine, eating the best food, and so on.
I played like this for several days.
This is also because no one is following, otherwise if someone sees him playing like this, they have to wonder if he is really willing to do things for Tang Guo.
After a few days of such profligacy, Chen Ping finally settled down.
On an early winter evening, he stopped Fan Zeng, who was about to return home.
Everything is similar to the situation when Xiao He was stopped in Jincheng.
The cold wind was blowing, Chen Ping stood in front of the carriage, couldn't help but shiver, and then retracted his hand into his sleeve.
Fan Zeng knew Chen Ping, he was also there when Chen Ping offered advice, and he still admired Chen Ping very much, but Chu Yu really didn't like Chen Ping, so he gave up.
"Is that you?" Fan Zeng was stunned, he thought that Chen Ping was dead, but he didn't expect to be alive, Fan Zeng's tone was not very good, after all, he didn't like Chen Ping very much for a person like Chen Ping who had an affair with his sister-in-law.
Chen Ping didn't care, and said, "Prime Minister, the grass people have news to tell the Prime Minister." ”
Fan Zeng snorted, and didn't want to deal with him, Chen Ping's side, and said: "The Chu State is in danger, why don't you spend a cup of tea and listen to what the grass people say?" ”
The four words of Chu Guowei made Fan Zeng's heart stunned, even if he suspected that Chen Ping said this was just a gimmick, he still changed his previous attitude and said: "Come into the mansion, if you can't say anything good, I want your head." ”
Chen Ping smiled: "Cao Minfu has a big life, and my head is not easy to want." ”
Fan Zeng saw that Chen Ping was still in the mood to laugh, so he couldn't help but want to kick him, but he was too old to do so, so he went directly into the house.
When he came to the living room, Fan Zeng naturally didn't mean to order someone to pour tea, he just glanced at Chen Ping and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Chen Ping said: "Prime Minister, after the Chu State was defeated, the grass people went to the Han Kingdom, what did you find?" ”
Hearing that Chen Ping went to the Han Kingdom, Fan Zeng immediately became cautious, he suspected that Chen Ping might be an undercover agent, and Chen Ping was just like this, so he smiled again: "It's a pity that the Han Emperor only gave me an official to raise horses, and I fled back." ”
Fan Zeng's expression moved slightly, and he said, "Say, what news do you have?" ”
"I found out that the Han State and the Tang State are in contact, and they have already discussed and are ready to take action against the Chu State, and I am afraid that the Chu State will be in danger at that time."
"The Tang State and the Han State are joining forces to deal with my Chu State?" Fan Zeng's tone was a little shocked, he didn't expect it to be this matter, and this matter is completely possible, after all, their Chu State has made a move against the Tang State, and with the temperament of the Tang State, it seems that it is possible to destroy their Chu State.
Whether it is the Tang State or the Han State, they are not afraid of the Chu State, but if the two countries join forces, it will definitely be a great harm to them.
"Are you really?" "Of course it's true, if the prime minister doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate, if the grass people have a lie, you can ask for my head." Chen Ping swore an oath, Fan Zeng's eyebrows moved slightly, and after a while, he said: "Okay, I know, if this matter is true, this official will definitely make it clear to the saint that you will be promoted to be an official, and you can step down." ”
Chen Ping was overjoyed, and without the slightest hesitation, he retreated directly.
And just after Chen Ping left, Fan Zeng immediately ordered: "Come here." ”
Soon, several spies appeared in the living room.
"What does the Prime Minister command?"
"Go investigate this Chen Ping, see where he lives, and then investigate whether he really went to the Han State, and whether the Han State really cooperated with the Tang State and prepared to be the enemy of my Chu State."
Fan Zeng is a very cautious person, even if Chen Ping swears, he still has to investigate clearly, and then make the next step, after the spy receives the order, he does not hesitate, and immediately goes down to investigate.
Fan Zeng's expression became more and more solemn, you must know that if the Tang State and the Han State join forces, the Chu State will really be very dangerous. It may have been a mistake to send troops to the Tang State in the first place.
