Chapter 723: Departure
Light rain drifted in the wind, the tide was wet and the sky was gray. The light is not very bright, and all the scenery such as the palace grass and trees seems to be a little dull. The people in the palace assumed that it was sunrise according to the sound of bells and drums.
On the side of Fengtianmen, the emperor who came from the gentle village must be receiving the worship of the officials. The rain did not affect the early dynasty, but people were allowed to wear raincoats and perform rituals in the rain in the brick-floored square outside the Mukden Gate.
From the palace to the whole world, people at this moment should start doing their own thing, the sun rises and the sun sets, and people and the sky maintain the same rhythm.
The eunuchs are no exception, Cao Fu, the eunuch of Shangshan, is not on duty with the emperor today, but he has what he should do. Cao Fu, who was neatly dressed and wearing a red and black hat, had already arrived at the apse of the Rouyi Palace, where there were eunuchs who were responsible for opening and closing the door and cleaning the ground.
Cao Fu asked, is Chen Xian really up? The eunuch outside the apse spoke.
So Cao Fu went straight to the courtyard at the back, and along the corridor under the eaves, he came to the door of the house where Chen Xianzhen lived. When a young woman wearing a Taoist robe greeted the door, Cao Fu took the initiative to hold the dust and said, "Chen Xiangu is early." ”
Chen Xian had really seen him, and immediately replied: "Cao Gong, please." ”
"The weather hasn't been good lately, but the people from Qin Tianjian said that this rain won't last long, and it will clear up in a few days." Before Cao Fu could sit down, he began to speak. For two people who are not very related and really have no topic, talking about the weather is undoubtedly the easiest way to start.
Sure enough, Chen Xianzhen responded very kindly: "I heard that between the Ming Dynasty and the Jianghuai, there is a kind of 'plum rain' season in the summer, and the rain is endless. It should not be the season for a while, so it will not be endless. ”
Cao Fu praised: "Immortal Gu is quite knowledgeable. When he saw Chen Xianzhen making a gesture and inviting him to take a seat, he sat down next to a chair and continued, "Ten days ago, a fleet of Ming ships had already gone to sea and headed north, to send the envoys of the Xian Kingdom and the country back. Recently, the palace has taken the approval again, but as soon as the rain stops and the weather clears, the rest of the sea ships will set sail, go south through the country of Annam, and then go to the west. ”
Chen Xianzhen glanced at Cao Fu and nodded.
Cao Fu continued: "Most of the sea ships have already gone to Liujiagang (the south bank of the Yangtze River estuary, near Shanghai), but there are still a few big ships waiting in Longjiang Port in Beijing, and they can also send Chen Xiangu back by ......the way."
Before he could speak, Chen Xianzhen's face changed suddenly, and anger seemed to come out of nowhere, instantly covering her entire face. Cao Fu had expected that Chen Xianzhen would not be very happy, but he didn't expect her reaction to be so big.
"Go back?" Chen Xianzhen said angrily, "What do you mean? ”
Her voice grew louder as she lost control of her emotions.
Cao Fu suppressed his emotions and persuaded: "Immortal Gu, don't worry. When you entered Beijing, you were originally the chief envoy of the rebel leader Chen Jikuo, so didn't you have a deputy envoy or something? At this time, the imperial court wants to negotiate with Chen Jikuo's rebels one last time, so it decided to send you back to Annan, is there any problem? ”
Chen Xianzhen's expression was filled with shame and indignation, and he asked rhetorically: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty took away my innocence, but sent me away like this, what kind of person did he think of?" ”
Cao Fu was very kind at first, but Chen Xianzhen was so aggressive that he was a little angry. Although Cao Fu is only a house slave in the palace, what position does he have in front of the emperor? The eunuchs and maids in the palace, and even the noble concubines, will give him a little thin noodles, and most of them speak politely; It's good now, but I was reprimanded by a foreign lady!
He said coldly: "Did the emperor seal your concubine?" What kind of identity you are, you have to have a number. ”
"It's too much to deceive people, you guys are too insulting!" Chen Xianzhen rebuked angrily, "You, the eunuch, go and ask the emperor what he did to me in the front hall of the Rouyi Palace?" Why didn't you dislike me then, but now you dislike me. ”
Cao Fu said angrily: "The emperor has a record of who he is lucky to be happy with and who he summons to sleep, but there is no way to find out what you said!" ”
Chen Xianzhen's face was flushed, and he said loudly: "Please come and tell me in person, do you want me to leave, and I won't even see him once?" ”
Cao Fu was already full of anger, but when he heard this, he calmed down a little. He suddenly realized again that he was doing errands for the emperor, so if he messed up the errand, he would have to make trouble with the emperor and annoy the emperor, which would not be good. If you can't do this well, how can you be reused?
"Listen to what our family has to say." Cao Fu's attitude immediately became a little better.
"Chen Xiangu, you have a clear score. The most important thing for you to enter Beijing is for Chen Jikuo's business, right? Now the imperial court gave in and gave very generous conditions to recruit An Chen Jikuo. As long as he is willing to give up the title of emperor and return to the king of Annan (Chen Zhengyuan), the king will recognize his clan status, give him a knighthood, and he can also get a fief to govern himself; The generals under Chen Jikuo's command will be rewarded. Wouldn't it be a good deed for everyone to be happy when the kingdom of the Chen family was restored in this way?
The imperial court would send an envoy to accompany Chen Xiangu. The Ministry of War issued a military order to the Governor's Office of Annam (the former political envoy of Jiaozhibu, the Yamen), releasing some prisoners and going back to inform Chen Jikuo; Then you take a sea-going boat and dock at the mouth of the river near Thanh Hoa, and let Chen Jikuo's people greet you. If Chen Jikuo is willing to submit, Chen Xiangu's clan identity will be justified, why not? ”
At this moment, Chen Xianzhen's eyes suddenly looked at the window, and said coldly: "If you want to listen, you can come in generously, how can you look like a queen if you eavesdrop like this?" ”
Cao Fu glanced back at the window, but saw nothing.
…… The person standing next to the window was none other than Queen Tran of Annam. Not long ago, Chen Xianzhen's voice was very loud and emotional, which attracted Chen's attention. She couldn't help but be curious, so she came over to hear what happened to Chen Xianzhen.
Chen Shi understood the general situation, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart. That Dao Gu's hatred may be transferred to herself.
They are all women, and of course Chen understands women's thoughts. If Chen Xian really felt that there were two people who were sorry for her at the same time, she would most likely hate the woman Chen Shi even more. Especially when that man has the ability to give Chen Xianzhen benefits, such hatred is easier to transfer; Probably because women subconsciously feel that women are competitors?
Perhaps Chen's stable life here has been stable for a long time, and she feels that she is becoming more and more cowardly. I don't know what happened, after being discovered by that aunt, Chen didn't want to face it.
She remembered the half step she took back and retracted in the manor of Thang Long City, facing Li Li approaching with her sword, probably just like the mood at this time. I don't want to face it, but I can only force it
Hold.
Chen walked to the door and appeared under the gaze of the two people inside.
Dao Gu Xian looked at Chen with hateful eyes, and said in Chinese: "I understand, it is you who slandered in front of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Sure enough!
Chen was embarrassed and uncomfortable, and said in his heart: I didn't lie, it was all your own words, why don't be deceived by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Chen glanced at the eunuch Cao Fu, and she remembered that when she was in front of Zhu Gaoxu and said bad things about Chen Xian, Cao Fu was not present. Chen said in an ambiguous way: "You don't want to be a villain and live in the belly of a gentleman." ”
"Humph!" Dao Gu Xian Zhen sneered, "A woman like you who is different inside and out, do you know what the Annan people will say about you?" ”
Chen raised his chest and raised his head, and said coldly: "If those words you said reach the ears of the emperor, do you still want to go back alive?" Be content! ”
Dao Gu Xianzhen glanced at Cao Fu, who was sitting next to him, and then turned back to Chen and said, "I wish the emperor killed me?" The humiliation you have given me will be retributed one day! ”
Cao Fu raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't be rash with the two of you." Let Chen Xiangu return to China with the fleet and tell Chen Jikuo the goodwill of the imperial court, this is a holy decree, and no one can disobey it! Otherwise, it would be a great sin to kill the head. Chen Xiangu, you have to pack up and prepare, when it is the day when the fleet sets sail, whether you want to or not, you have to set off. ”
After he said that, he stood up and bowed his hand to Daogu Xianzhen: "You heard the meaning of our family heirloom, take your leave." ”
Cao Fu turned around, quietly glanced at Chen again, and raised his head lightly towards the door. Chen understood what Cao Fu meant, he should let himself leave together, and don't make a big deal with Chen Xianzhen here.
Chen didn't even say a word of farewell, and before turning around to leave, he glanced at Chen Xianzhen again, only to see that Chen Xianzhen's eyes were cold, reminiscent of the letter of a poisonous snake!
At this time, the Chen family already understood that Chen Xianzhen's hatred for her was probably impossible to reconcile. Chen really wanted Zhu Gaoxu to simply kill Chen Xianzhen; But now that the imperial court is still trying to recruit peace, I am afraid that Zhu Gaoxu is unwilling to kill Chen Jikuo's envoys.
And Chen vaguely guessed: Zhu Gaoxu and Chen Xian really had a skin-to-skin relationship, even if she is tired of this woman now, she will still leave her a way to live. That kind of thing between a man and a woman is indeed very wonderful.
When Chen thought of this, he dispelled his thoughts and tried to force Zhu Gaoxu to get rid of Chen Xianzhen. She didn't want to see that Zhu Gaoxu was a little bored with herself.
When the two of them arrived in the corridor, Cao Fu changed his expression just now, became very polite, bent down and said kindly: "Queen, you can dissipate your anger, don't be like her." Our family was blind, so she had the opportunity to get close to the emperor! ”
Chen pretended to be relaxed and said: "Forget it, after she returns to China this time, I am afraid that she and I will never see each other again in our lives." ”
Cao Fu nodded, hugged his fists and said, "Our family has to go back and say goodbye." ”
Chen said, "Father-in-law Cao walks slowly. ”
As soon as she turned around, Chen Xianzhen's hateful, viper-like eyes appeared in front of her again, which was very impressive and unforgettable.
