Ercheng National Policy! Ten often rely on only household arguments to turn the tide" Kou Sun Caozhi's visit to Murong Ke is precisely to break through his own predicament with his own tongue argument, this debate is extremely critical, of course, Chen Caozhi has a good layout before

Chen Caozhi took a deep breath and said slowly: "Dazai is thirsty for talent, not to be ugly, and intends to exchange Xuchang City for my Qian Tang Chen clan, but the wise man has a thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake, Dazai did not take into account the reaction of the Jin court to this matter, although the Jin court lived in Jiangzuo, but continued the Zhengshuo before the southern crossing, it was the orthodoxy of the king, and it was only a child of the second-class scholar clan and a humble official position, Dazai solemnly exchanged the city for my people, which was humiliating in the eyes of the Jin court, Because Xuchang City was originally obtained by the general Murong Chen of your country at the beginning of the year to invade my Great Jin, once Dazai passed the book to Jiankang. That's not a blessing for my Chen family. ”

Murong Ke said tentatively: "This king really admires Chen's talent for washing horses, and is determined to keep Chen washing horses, since Xuchang is not appropriate, how about Luyang?" ”

Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "In the eyes of the Jin Dynasty, the land of Fengyuan is the homeland of the Great Jin Dynasty, and Xuchang and Luyang are all average. ”

Murong Ke said unhappily: "Then in Chen Xima's opinion, how should this king keep you?" Don't mention returning to China, this will not be considered, and everything else can be discussed. ”

Very good, the picture is poor!

Chen Caozhiran: "Dazai is determined to stay in Yan, what is the purpose?" ”

Murong Ke laughed loudly and said, "This king does not hesitate to exchange the big city in the hinterland of the Central Plains for the Chen family, what is his intention? It is a national soldier who treats you, and hopes that Chen Xima will serve my Dayan and make great contributions. ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Life is a dagger, can support the life of the person, only the clan, the Qiantang Chen clan to move north is absolutely impossible, the Jin court will never set this precedent, so, Dazai can only leave Cao Zhiqiang in the Yan country, Cao Zhi far away from the clan, floating like duckweed, or will die of grief, how can you serve your country, can you serve Dazai?" ”

Murong Ke listened to Chen Caozhi's resoluteness, he would not give in, and said lightly: "My Dayan will definitely sweep the world, and at that time, Chen Xima will go down to Jiangdong and worship the clan with my Dayan high-ranking officials, wouldn't it be to return home." ”

Chen Caozhi was silent for a while, his tone was soothing, but he spoke strongly, and said: "Dazai wants to stay behind, how can he be without complaints, it may not be beneficial to Dazai." ”

Murong Ke shrugged his eyebrows, his eyes showed fierceness, and he said, "You will fight against this king as a concubine?" Hehe, I'm just afraid that I am not qualified enough. ”

Chen Caozhi's expression did not move, he was still gentle and calm, and said: "Dazai is in a high position, if he wants to be an enemy of Dazai, it is really ridiculous to shake the tree, even if Princess Qinghe marries or not, it is also between Dazai's thoughts, and there is really nothing to do." In this case, isn't it contrary to Dazai's original intention of cherishing people to keep people, why did Dazai do such a thing that harmed others and was not beneficial to himself? ”

Murong Ke's face was cloudy, and he was silent, although Chen Caozhi claimed to be incapable of shaking the tree, but if he threw himself into the Taifu party, with Chen Caozhi's strategy and courage shown in the past and today, it really should not be underestimated, Chen Caozhi came to Yedu in just half a month to win the favor of Princess Qinghe, and last night he went to visit Shangyong Wangfu, all of which is to build momentum for today. This man's scheming is truly terrifying!

Murong Ke squinted and pondered, suddenly smiled, and said: "Chen Xima's talent is no less than Wang Jingluo, so even if you can't be used by this king, you can't let you go back to Jiangdong to be my Dayan's enemy." ”

Murong Ke said that it was already quite bad, Chen Caozhi was not moved, and said: "Dazai just said that it is not obvious to be subordinate to the family, and it is always difficult to achieve ambition in Jiangdong, and said that if Wang Meng returns to Jiangdong, he will never have today's status in the Qin State, so what does it matter if Dazai is to let Cao Zhi return to the country, how many talented people in Jiangdong are subservient because of the family, how can one of them!" It's just a person who talks about metaphysics, Wen can't govern, and Wu can't command the army, how can he be the enemy of Dayan? ”

Murong Ke was speechless, raised his glass and said, "Let's drink first, and then make a decision when I have a good time." ”

Chen Caozhi no longer mentioned the matter of returning to China, and the banquet was dispersed. Returning to Bingjingtai, Ran Sheng, Shen Chiqian, and Su Qi came out and asked Murong Ke in unison if he was persuaded?

Chen Caozhi: "The plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, I have tried my best, as for whether I can return to the country smoothly, it depends on the will of God"

Shen Chiqian and Su Qi suddenly felt cold in their hearts when they heard this, but when they saw Chen Caozhi, they smiled again: "Murong Ke is a calm and generous person, and he is very little ambitious, I expect him to make the right choice." In the next two days, Chen Caozhi closed the door and did not come out, waiting for Murong Ke's reply, Ran Sheng and others had a sense of restlessness, but Chen Caozhi was copying books, this is his hobby in his spare time, one is to practice calligraphy, the second is to practice the heart, and the third is to copy books

Early in the morning of the third day, Murong Ke sent the governor of the palace Shi to invite Chen Caozhi to go to the palace Taiwu Palace to visit the emperor Murong Barrier of the Yan Kingdom, Chen Caozhi entered the Gao Capital, although he had a lot of contacts with the princes and nobles, but the Emperor Murong Barrier did not officially receive him, that is, he did not treat Chen Caozhi as an envoy, but today he sent a decree to receive him, which is good news, Chen Caozhi can return to the country.

Outside the Taiwu Palace, obituary Saner saw Yuan Hong and Yuan Yandao, with a big stone in his chest, and his heart was fixed, everyone talked about righteousness, and smiled.

This time, Murong Jian received Chen Caozhi and Yuan Hong with a grand state ceremony, and Shangshu ordered Yang Hu to read out Murong Barrier's will, which was nothing more than the reconciliation of Yan and Jin, with the existing territory as the boundary, and not to invade each other, and even sent Emperor Fu Zhen as an envoy of Yan to Jiangdong with Chen Caozhi and Yuan Hong to discuss the reconciliation between the two countries.

Shangyong King Murong Jian didn't say a word. Chen Caozhi didn't care very much about whether he stayed or not, after all, leaving Chen Caozhi might not be of his use, he was just surprised that Murong Ke suddenly changed his mind, was it because the Queen Mother wanted to marry Princess Qingle to Chen Caozhi, Murong Ke was worried that he couldn't control Chen Caozhi and simply sent him back to China?

In the afternoon of the same day, Murong Ke held a banquet in the Taiyuan palace to entertain Chen Caozhi and Yuan Hong and his party, and the emperor Fu Zhen, who was preparing to send an envoy to Jiangdong, was also present.

Chen Caozhi is naturally the only one, and he fully understands Murong Ke's plan in his heart, because of the rumors of his life, Murong Ke expects that there will be chaos in Dingguan, he wants to deal with Di Qin, so he wants to form an alliance with the Jin State, Qin envoy Xi Bao has been driven back to Chang'an by him, and the alliance between Qin and Jin cannot be formed, this is the goal that Murong Ke is trying to achieve.

That night, Yuan Hong and Chen Caozhi lived together in Bingjingtai, and asked about Jiangdong affairs, Yuan Hong said that Sanwu was serious early in the morning, and when he was in Jiankang at the end of June, there was no news of rainfall

Chen Caozhi asked: "How are my friends Gu Changkang and Zhu Yingtai doing?" ”

When Yuan Hong dressed up and went north, Xie Daoyun's true identity had not yet been revealed by Li Jingmei, so Yuan Hong did not know about this sensational rumor, and replied: "Gu Xiang is in Xifu, he is good at writing poems and paintings, and I wish to join the army to help fight the drought, and it is said that he has made quite a meritorious achievement."

Chen Caozhi thought of Xie Daoyun, who was disguised as a man, commanding the people to fight the drought, and couldn't help but smile, and said in his heart: "It's really difficult to be a brother in Yingtai."

Yuan Hong hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "Zizhong, I heard something in Jiankang. I'm sure you want to know.

Chen Caozhi saw Yuan Hong's solemn face, his heart froze, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Yuan, please speak."

Yuan Hong said that Lu Shi wanted to send Lu Weirui into the palace as the imperial concubine, and seeing that Chen Caozhi's face was wrong, he quickly said that Jiankang Shishu criticized this matter, and King Langya and Xi Shilang both clearly objected. Also, Lu's daughter wrote a statement of affection to Gu Kaizhi and forwarded it to the Empress Dowager Chongde, expressing her determination not to marry Chen Caozhi

Chen Caozhi burst into tears when he heard this, he didn't expect Wei Rui to encounter such troubles, he could imagine how much pressure Wei Rui was under. This kind of huge pressure within the family is not something that ordinary women can bear, Wei Rui is a woman with a soft outside and an inner net, she thought of pleading with the Empress Dowager Chongde, this is already a desperate situation

Yuan Hong saw that Chen Caozhi, who had always been calm and elegant, was crying in front of him, and hurriedly comforted: "Zizhong doesn't have to be sad, how can Duke Huan sit back and watch the Lu clan of the Sanwu Gate become a national relative, and the Nandu clan will not agree, it is reported that the Empress Dowager Chongde also expressed her attitude towards the emperor, and the daughter of the Lu clan is not allowed to enter the palace, Zizhong is relieved."

Chen Caozhi also has a time when he is upset, at this time, he can't wait to have wings on his back and fly back to Jiangdong overnight, his tears are not weak, he is pitying Wei Rui, who can live up to such an affectionate woman?

Because the emperor of Yan Guo really wanted to go to Jiankang with him, he had to prepare, although Chen Caozhi was like an arrow, he could only wait.

On the 26th of July, Emperor Fu Zhen, the chief doctor of Guanglu, bid farewell to Emperor Murong of Yan, and left Gaodu with 50 followers and Chen Caozhi, Yuan Hong and others, and marched to Jiangdong.

Dazai Murong Ke and Shangshu Ling Yang Hu led the officials of Yan State to set up a tent on the north bank of Zhangshui to set up a wine for Huangfu Zhen, Chen Caozhi, and Yuan Hong, Murong Ke gave Chen Caozhi a hundred unique Beizhu pearls, twenty purple skins, a pair of male and female white falcons, and a famous horse in Longcheng, as a gift to thank Chen Caozhi for treating his illness, Chen Caozhi... smiled and gave Murong Ke a folding fan, which was painted with Ji Kangxing's scattered picture on the front and Ruan's book on the back, which was exactly what Murong Ke wanted.

There is a pontoon bridge on the Zhanghe River, which is connected by a hundred wooden boats, and the boats are maintained by large cables, and each end is fixed with eight large iron oxen, and the iron oxen is buried in the ground, revealing only the head of the bent horns.

Chen Caozhi, Yuan Hong, and Huangfu Zhen said goodbye to Murong Ke and others, and led the horse across the Zhangshui through the pontoon bridge. "The avenue turned, bypassing a willow forest, and suddenly saw a team of female warriors with poisonous red scarves and rouge horses under their crotches blocking in the middle of the road.
