Daguang Capital Celebration ......

The Hongde Hall was brightly lit, Yang Jie took the iced sour plum soup handed by the eunuch, took a sip gently, and his face was as cold as the ice cubes in the bowl.

Chu Dongsheng respectfully knelt down under the hall, not daring to make a move.

While stirring the ice cubes in the bowl, Yang Jie raised his eyes to look at Chu Dongsheng, and asked with a smile, "Isn't Aiqing going to explain?" ”

Chu Dongsheng bowed to the ground and said in a loud voice: "Chu Dongsheng is foolish, he fell for Yang Yi's tricks, and he failed His Majesty's high expectations, and Dongsheng is willing to accept the responsibility." ”

Yang Jie smiled and asked again, "Then Aiqing thinks you should be held responsible?" ”

Chu Dongsheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Just rely on Your Majesty to dispose of ......"

"Smack!!" Yang Jie smashed the exquisite porcelain bowl in his hand violently, and said hysterically: "Twenty thousand troops! Walked for a month! I retreated without a fight! You said! What are you to blame for? ”

Chu Dongsheng salivated and said: "The minister will not hesitate to die..."

"Ten thousand deaths? Yang Yi and Wang Fei have now defeated the fierce Di people, what is the use of your death? Can you kill Yang Yi and Wang Feijiang, and can you recapture the land of Qingju? Yang Jie pointed to Chu Dongsheng, who was bowing to the ground, his eyes were red.

Yang Jie sat back on the throne angrily, and Chu Dongsheng didn't dare to speak.

Ge Jin, the military and political envoy standing on the side, sighed, and bowed down: "Your Majesty is angry, that Yang Yi has always been scheming, no one thought that he would go to Bingzhou in danger, and Lord Chu was also worried about the overall situation, so he fell for Yang Yi's tricks." ”

Yang Jie took a deep breath, calmed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Say something useful, I want to know what we should do next, we can't watch Qing Juyi fall into the hands of nine nerds, right?" ”

Ge Jin thought for a while and bowed: "The minister thinks that since Yang Yiyuan is in the north and the martial artists in Shuzhong are in charge, His Majesty can issue an edict to assassinate Shi Huachang in the same state, and order his troops to go out of the same state to approach the Qinzhou Mansion, if Yang Yi dares not to return, we can increase our troops to the south and capture the two states of Guizhou and Qin in one fell swoop!" ”

Yang Jie closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, looked at Chu Dongsheng who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Chu Dongsheng, what do you say?" ”

Chu Dongsheng bowed and said, "Weichen agrees with Lord Ge's proposal. ”

Yang Jie turned his head to look at Ge Jin and said: "This matter will be handed over to you, the edict Feng Huachang is the temperance envoy of Guangnan, and he will receive the title of assassin of Tongzhou, and he will be sent to Qinzhou within ten days." ”

"Obey." Ge Jin bowed his hand, paused for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Chu..."

Yang Jie stood up and said coldly: "Remove from the post of deputy history of political participation, demote two levels of officials, reduce your salary for one year, go home and reflect on me!" ”

After speaking, Yang Jie led the eunuchs and attendants to turn around and leave the harem, and soon only Ge Jin and Chu Dongsheng were left in the palace.

Ge Jin stepped forward to help Chu Dongsheng up, Chu Dongsheng stood up and bowed, "Thank you Lord Ge for defending Dongsheng." ”

Ge Jin shook his head, patted Chu Dongsheng's shoulder lightly and comforted: "You have traveled thousands of miles back and forth, it can be regarded as a hardship, go back to the house and rest for a few days, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the court." ”

After speaking, Ge Jin sighed and walked straight out of the main hall.

Chu Dongsheng turned around and glanced at Yang Jie, who had already walked back to the harem, and also turned around and left.

Chu Dongsheng left the palace and did not go back to the palace directly, but went to the cabinet first to hand over the seal before rushing home.

Chu Dongsheng's wife is the only daughter of the richest man in the capital, Ding Yu's family, and the two have been married for more than four years and have a son and a daughter.

The Ding family is very virtuous, and in the days when Chu Dongsheng left, all the affairs of the family were taken care of by him.

Because of the failure of the Northern Expedition, Chu Dongsheng's major judgment mistakes have been known to the court, so Chu Dongsheng's return did not dare to be extravagant.

As soon as Chu Dongsheng stepped into the gate, the Ding clan led the whole house to wait inside for a long time.

"Husband's back?" Ding hurriedly greeted him, although he only said a simple sentence, his eyes revealed endless worry.

Chu Dongsheng smiled and nodded, but did not speak.

As soon as Ding raised his hand, his subordinates immediately brought clean water and a brand-new towel for Chu Dongsheng to scrub briefly.

"Father!!" Three-year-old son Chu Xian shouted vaguely.

Chu Dongsheng handed the scrubbed towel to Ding, bowed down to pick up his son, and said with a smile: "Hey! Xian'er come here, father hug it! ”

Chu Xian threw himself into Chu Dongsheng's arms with open arms.

Chu Dongsheng pinched Chu Xian's fat face with one hand, and said with a smile: "Father is not here, did Xian'er listen to her mother's words?" ”

Chu Xian nodded immaturely and said vaguely: "Xian'er is obedient!" Chu Dongsheng laughed.

Chu Dongsheng glanced at his smiling wife on the side and asked, "What about my daughter?" ”

Ding replied: "My daughter just fell asleep, in the backyard. ”

Chu Dongsheng nodded and said, "Go and see my baby daughter." ”

Ding hurriedly said: "Husband is tired all the way, let's eat first." ”

Chu Dongsheng shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Husband," Ding said worriedly.

Chu Dongsheng handed the son in his arms to the nurse on the side, glanced at Ding Shi and said, "Let's go back to the room." ”

"Husband... Is Your Majesty to blame? Ding said urgently.

Chu Dongsheng said calmly: "I was punished for one year, the official was demoted by two levels, and I was removed from the post of deputy historian of political participation. ”

Ding Shi was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Why is it so heavy?" ”

Chu Dongsheng said with a smile: "The defeat in this battle is entirely due to my misjudgment, such a punishment is considered light, and besides, the deputy history of participating in politics is originally a false position, and His Majesty did not move my position as Shangshu, which means that he does not want to really punish me." ”

Ding Shi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's right, now that the DPRK is the right hand man, you are Your Majesty's right-hand man, and Your Majesty knows that you can't be left behind." ”

After a pause, Ding looked at Chu Dongsheng and stopped.

Chu Dongsheng said with a smile: "You and I are husband and wife, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Ding Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Husband, I heard about your trip to the north, you... How could you make such a mistake? ”

There was no blame in Ding's words, but pure doubts and inquiries, she was very smart and the person who knew Chu Dongsheng best.

Chu Dongsheng's face was expressionless, he glanced at Ding, and suddenly smiled: "Madame's words are different, your husband and I are not saints, how can we not make mistakes?" ”

Ding hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Husband... Are you deliberately selling because you take into account the feelings of your classmates, you will..."

"Madame!" Chu Dongsheng's words interrupted Ding's words suddenly, and said with a smile: "Madam, I'm a little hungry again, let's go eat first." ”

Chu Dongsheng thought about it, patted Ding's shoulder again, and said, "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing in the future, this battle is because your husband and I made a mistake in judgment and missed the fighter, and there is no other reason." ”

Ding Shi was slightly stunned, nodded his head and said yes, turned around and ordered his subordinates to arrange dinner quickly.

Chu Dongsheng squinted his eyes and didn't speak, and walked straight to the front hall, and no one knew whether the two letters he was under Bingzhou City at that time were really deceived by Yang Yi or had other intentions.
