Chapter 144: The Mood of Twilight Spring
Chapter 144: The spirit of twilight spring
In late spring, the flowers wither, and the birds breathe. [See the latest chapter of the book.]
The capital of the state of Chen, also known as the imperial capital. As the capital of a country, the high walls and thick walls do not look shabby. But everything is afraid of comparison, any city and the capital of the Great Heng Emperor will look like a small jasper. In fact, as the center of a country, the city is high and thin, and there are few people who match it in the world several times.
Different from the usual scene of endless traders coming and going, today's north gate of Chendu is filled with another group of people.
On both sides of the ancient city wall, colorful palanquins are parked. In front of the sedan chair, in addition to the sedan chair man and servants, a gray-bearded old man dressed in expensive clothes stood on tiptoe and stretched out his head, hoping that the figure of the man would appear on the avenue as soon as possible.
The guard of honor that should be purchased has been set up in accordance with the regulations - the regulations of the envoys. Although with the power of that family, even if the monarch surrenders his identity and goes out to greet him, everyone will take it for granted. It's just that the face project is very important, even if it is to cover it up, it is better than not whitewashing.
As the months move back, the weather gets warmer. However, in order to be solemn, this group of old men all took out the posture of receiving VIPs and packaged themselves into quilts according to Chen Guo's etiquette. There are several layers of clothes on the body, and even if it is not really hot now, the old men's heads are still sweating.
The attendants shook their fans vigorously, and the wind from their necks into their sweat-soaked backs, so that the old and sturdy courtiers would not faint from the heat.
"I saw someone, Lord Chen is here."
The servants sent out galloped back on fast horses, and the horse's hooves rolled up yellow sand all over the sky.
The few who climbed to the top of the courtiers all kept the graceful bearing of the important ministers, and the expressions that looked through the autumn water just now were long gone, and they didn't look at the avenue, but just talked to each other in a reserved whisper. It's a pity that the corners of their eyes can't help but pull over there, and the content of the conversation is also fragmented, and the eagerness in their hearts is exposed.
The other courtiers were even more unbearable, and hurriedly straightened their backs one by one, sweeping away the depression under the sweat just now. I went to ****** sweating profusely, how could I take care of this at this time, dress up solemnly, and make the one who came back happy.
Chen Baichuan rode on horseback, and next to him was Steward Lu.
Looking at most of the high-ranking officials and nobles of Chen Guo, they intuitively stood in two rows at the gate of the city and waited for their masters. Steward Lu, whose brain had long been occupied by the thoughts of feudal masters and servants, grinned, and a mouthful of big yellow teeth was exposed.
"Little master, do you see, these people are standing with trembling calves, and none of them dare not come."
Chen Baichuan waved the horsewhip and gently whipped it on the horse's buttocks. The posture is skillful, and the majestic style is revealed, and he has not lost his name as a disciple of the general.
The handsome young man has just changed into the official uniform at the last intersection, and his appearance and future are all gone, and there is no other way to ride the dragon and be a fast son-in-law. Several old men with granddaughters who had just grown up silently in their hearts, taking advantage of the fact that they had lost all their temperance tonight, and went to Chen's Mansion to recommend themselves.
In the sound of drums prepared in advance, Chen Baichuan finally arrived in Chendu, where he had been absent for several months.
Several powerful bigwigs who hold their own hands are Chen Guo's heavy weapons, straighten their robes, and wait for Chen Baichuan, a junior, to come forward to say hello.
The other officials were not reserved, and they didn't know where the word dignity was hidden, so they sharpened their heads and went to Chen Baichuan's horse. If it weren't for the team sent by the Chen Mansion to greet him, Chen Baichuan's way into the city would have been blocked by this group of thousands of horses seeking "Bole".
In fact, most of the officials at the city gate didn't know anything about Chen Baichuan's envoy to Daheng, but anyway, when they saw Chen Baichuan getting closer and closer, they all cheered.
"Lord Chen, for me, Chen Guo!"
"Lord Chen is my Chen Guozhushi, Chen Guodong!"
"With the two Lord Chen, the rise of my Chen country is just around the corner, and it is not a dream to level the enemies in the world."
Chen Baichuan rode a tall horse and drove the horse to shake his ass angrily into the city gate. Turning a blind eye to the shouts and cheers of those present throughout the whole process, he didn't look to the side, and he had the most squishy smile on his face.
After making a full gesture, the main owner did not give face, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.
There was a guy who didn't know whether he was clever or slow to react, and continued to cheer: "Lord Chen is strong! ”
At this time, everyone suddenly realized, their eyes became ornaments, ignoring the fact that the front hooves of the brown-haired horse under Chen Baichuan's crotch had already stepped into the city gate, and continued to cheer hard.
They didn't have the courage to be dissatisfied with Chen Baichuan's unstoppable act, and the few remaining bigwigs of Chen Guoshuo were unhappy.
Wei Yingxiong, the mighty general of the Eastern Xinjiang Guard, hugged his fist at the old man with a long beard like snow in front of him:
"This guy doesn't know how to be respectful or inferior, and he doesn't take adults seriously anymore. Master Jiang, you are the only person in the court who can extinguish the arrogance of their two brothers, you have to hold on. Otherwise, otherwise in the future, this Chen country will sooner or later change to the Chen family. ”
Jiang Changyin's face turned dark, and Wei Yingxiong was so frightened that his heart trumpeted. The other officials who were preparing to support Wei Yingxiong closed their mouths that were about to open tightly, and they were ready to return the money from the concubine that Wei Yingxiong had sent to the mansion last night.
This old man Jiang, who is also the emperor and prime minister, is the only reliance on their group of people who have interests with the Chen family brothers. If Jiang Changyin left it alone, it would be equivalent to asking them to escort the family property directly to the gate of the Chen Mansion, how could this be played.
Xu is thinking of the kindness recommended by Jiang Changyin back then, and the Chen family brothers have always been respectful and respectful to him, and it is rare to encounter such an arrogant and domineering situation this time.
Don't look at Wei Yingxiong's mouthful and saying that he is planning for Jiang Changyin, who can he hide from the calculation in his heart?
Jiang Changyin's face was not good, and he pointed at Wei Yingxiong's nose and reprimanded: "How can personal triviality be compared with national affairs, I am not old and dizzy, put away your little dirt." Baichuan's trip is to work hard for Chen Guo's century-old plan, and he can afford the applause of all the monarchs. ”
Chen Baichuan went to Daheng this time to shoulder the heavy responsibility of selling the Wanjian Peak Forest, and Wei Yingxiong, the powerful general of the Eastern Xinjiang Guard, had a strong sphere of influence in that area. This guy didn't know where he heard the rumors, and tried every means to hinder Chen Baichuan.
However, after all, he was a mantis arm and couldn't stop the rampaging chariot of the Chen family, so he had to change his way to pull Jiang Changlu, a heavyweight, into the water.
When he persuaded King Chen and himself to agree to his appalling plan in King Chen's palace that day, Chen Baichuan's mouth gushed endlessly to outline a bright future for Chen Guo, and Jiang Chang, who had always been steadfast, agreed like a demon.
Thinking of this, Jiang Changyin, who waved his sleeves and walked away, smiled in his heart.
"The future of Chen Guo depends on you two brothers. And I, old body, just guard it so that you don't rebel. (To be continued.) )
