Chapter 172: Zhou Xian's Affair
In the face of the supreme imperial power, Chen Yue had no choice, because he had no way and could not change Emperor Chongzhen's decision, but he could take the future concubine Zhou Xian, whether it was framed or framed, in short, Zhou Xian's reputation would stink, Chen Yue did not believe that Chongzhen would recruit a discredited person as a concubine. The policy has been proposed, and the specific process is implemented by Ma Liang and Wu Liang, as for how they do it, Chen Yue does not want to care about the specific details, he only needs the result he wants.
As for whether Zhou Xian was innocent that time, Chen Yue could only say sorry! In order to keep the girl he likes from being harmed, Chen Yue has to do some things, although he knows that he and Kun Xing have no results, and he may not be able to change Kun Xing's tragic fate.
In the afternoon, Chen Yue went to another teahouse, sat down and didn't finish a cup of tea, Wu Mengming hurriedly walked in.
"Is there anything you can't go directly to the Jinyi Guard Yamen, you have to let me come here, you don't know how busy I am now?" Wu Mengming complained in his mouth, picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all.
"The threshold of your yamen is too high, and it is inconvenient for me to go now." Chen Yue smiled, "What? Are you busy cleaning up the people who took over as commanders? ”
"Alas, as the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier, if I don't clean out some people, how can I take charge of Jinyiwei." Wu Mengming sighed.
"Hehe, then you clean up slowly, but I need your help with something right now!" Chen Yue is colorful.
"What's the matter, just say it, as long as I can do it, it's all right!" Wu Mengming said angrily. It was precisely by relying on the black materials provided by Chen Yue that he found evidence of collusion between Luo Yangxing, the commander of the previous Jinyi Guard, and Zhou Yanru, and Emperor Chongzhen was extremely angry that Luo Yangxing deliberately concealed the information on the front line, so he made the decision that Wu Mengming would replace the commander of the Jinyi Guard. Therefore, it can be said that Chen Yue helped a lot in Wu Mengming's promotion, and coupled with the previous relationship between the two, it can be said that they have become a de facto ally.
Chen Yue poked his head out and whispered in Wu Mengming's ear, Wu Mengming's eyes widened suddenly.
"No, I can't do this!" Wu Mengming flatly refused.
"I said Brother Wu, you are not interesting enough, brother, I will beg you for this little thing, and you are embarrassed to refuse?" Chen Yue said dissatisfied.
"A trifle, you say it's a trifle?" Wu Mengming was almost angry, "You asked me to let Princess Kunxing out of the palace privately, Kunxing is about to be a horse, what do you want to do?" Do you know if this matter is spread, your brother and I will not be able to protect this head on my neck! Besides, I don't have that ability, I'm promoted now, but the inner palace guards are no longer responsible. ”
"Is it that serious? This matter is a trivial matter for you, I don't believe that you can't release Kun Xingshen out of the palace unconsciously, so that no one can notice, you have been the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard for so many years, and you are responsible for the palace internal guard, I don't believe that you can't do this little thing. Chen Yue said disapprerovingly.
"No, it's too much to do!" Wu Mengming shook his head and said.
"Hehe," Chen Yue laughed twice, took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and placed it in front of Wu Mengming, "I can only ask Brother Wu for your help in this matter, I promised Kun Xing to help her out of the palace, I can't break my word and get fat." Brother Wu took this silver ticket and invited the brothers who helped below to drink tea. ”
Looking at the huge number on the silver ticket, Wu Mengming's throat squirmed, and he secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a thousand taels of silver is not a small amount!
"Brother, what the hell are you trying to do? Kun Xing is a princess to be married, you have a great future, and it won't do you much good to pull with her. Wu Mengming persuaded bitterly, as a neighbor around Chongzhen, he naturally knew Chongzhen's love for Chen Yue, if nothing else, Chen Yue would definitely be promoted again this time, even if he couldn't be the governor of Jiliao, he was likely to be promoted to a governor, that was a real feudal official!
"I don't want anything, Brother Wu, you also know me, I am a military family, it is pure luck to be able to do the official position of military preparation, I met Princess Kunxing in Weimo, and co-founded Honeycomb Coal together, and now she begs me for such a little thing, if I can't help her, I really can't get over this hurdle in my heart." Brother Wu, if you want me to be Chen Yue's friend, help my brother this time! ”
Wu Mengming looked at Chen Yue's serious face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was the saddest in his heart, even if it was a warrior who swept thousands of armies!
.....
Zhou Xian walked on the street in a daze, looking neither sad nor happy. He is a scholar, and he has always been the biggest goal in his life to get merit, but when he is nearly 20 years old, he has not even been able to get into a show. When his father asked him to marry a princess as a concubine, Zhou Xian resisted at first, because then he would no longer be able to test his fame and become an official, and he would no longer be able to realize his ideals. But his father persuaded him bitterly, as long as he married the princess, he could be a lieutenant of the horse, and he would never have to worry about it again in this life.
Zhou Xian knew that his father was right and reasonable, but he just couldn't overcome this hurdle in his heart, but since his father had made a decision, he could only listen to it because he was cowardly by nature.
Alas, marrying a princess, the ideal of governing the country and the world can no longer be advanced Zhou Xian walked dejectedly, but he didn't pay attention but hit a person headfirst, and then he heard a coquettish cry of pain.
Zhou Xian hurriedly stopped, looked down, and saw a young and beautiful woman sitting on the ground with her chest covered, with a painful face, recalling the soft touch when the body collided just now, Zhou Xian had a strange feeling in his heart. He had never dealt with women in his daily life by reading poetry and books, so he stood there at a loss, completely unsure of what to do.
"This son, can you pull the concubine up, my chest hurts so much that I can't stand up." The woman said shyly, blushing.
"Oh oh, I'm sorry, I just walked and didn't see the road." Zhou Xian hurriedly apologized, and then reached out to help, and when his limbs touched, a wonderful touch came, which made his heart flutter.
The woman stood up with a red face, bowed to Zhou Xian, and left. Looking at the woman's graceful figure, Zhou Xian couldn't help but feel stunned.
As a future colt who is about to marry a princess, it is useless to read the Four Books and Five Classics again, but if he doesn't read, Zhou Xian doesn't know what he should do, so he can only wander around boringly.
The next day, he wandered to this street again, but he did not meet the young woman of yesterday, so he could only sigh in his heart, and turned away, and after a few steps, he suddenly heard a woman crying for help in the alley next to him, and the voice was so familiar.
