Chapter 366: The road ahead is difficult
Chen Baichuan returned to the sedan chair, but he didn't dare to open the satin curtain again. The light outside could only penetrate through the cracks in the curtain, and the sedan was so dim that I could barely see my hands.
His heart seemed to be poured from top to bottom by a bucket of water, and after being violently impacted, the temperature of his heart was almost extinguished by this bucket of cold water. Even the ordinary beatings and rhythms became heavy. He was short of breath and had apologies in his eyes.
He almost blamed Wang Juan'er, and even the sorrow of the whole Leshan, on himself.
If he hadn't forgotten, even if he couldn't completely save the situation in Leshan, at least he would have made the people's lives a little better, at least a little less tragic than Wang Juan'er's parents.
The footsteps of the sedan chair driver seemed to have a strange rhythm, which touched Chen Baichuan's heart, and he swayed up and down with that rhythm.
"Whew-"
Chen Baichuan took a long breath in the sedan chair and spit out all the condemnations of himself. All that was left in his chest was frank confidence.
The root cause of Leshanmin's poor livelihood does not lie in him, and it is no wonder that there is a tragedy. He is a heroic figure who wants to save Leshan, and despite missing a while, he is still a hero. He's still a good guy.
The sedan chair drivers stopped and put the sedan chair firmly on the ground, for fear of chattering with the noble little master inside.
Chen Baichuan lifted the curtain and walked out of the sedan chair. We have arrived at our destination, Chen's Mansion. I heard that Chen Baili will return to the house today, and I don't know if he has arrived at the Chen Mansion at this time.
Regarding the matter of Leshan, Chen Baichuan cannot afford it alone. He needs a lot of allies, and Chen Baili will undoubtedly be on his side, he just needs to get to the bottom and let Chen Baili help.
"Little master, the general is already waiting in the study." As soon as he entered the door, Lin Jiu greeted him and said these words.
Chen Baichuan didn't stop and went straight to the study. He knew Chen Baili's temperament, and every time he had a lot to say, he waited for him directly in the study. After smiling slightly, he knocked on the door.
Tuk tuk.
"It's not off." Gentle man's voice.
Chen Baichuan walked into the door of the study, and saw Chen Baili, as always, his body straightened into a benchmark, and the marching map hanging on the wall was tireless. He quipped:
"I don't have to take care of my wife when I get home, and I still have time to chat with my brother?"
Chen Baili turned around slowly, but there was anger on his face, and said, "***** your sister-in-law, but she doesn't have such a troublesome temperament as you." Stir up King Chen's anger, forget it, that night the bank of the Xiaoliu River was obviously a trap, and you went alone. Chen Baichuan, Chen Baichuan, his wings are hard. ”
"Okay, okay, don't talk about the past." Chen Baichuan smiled awkwardly, thinking about it carefully, he has indeed been a lot more willful recently, "Your Majesty King Chen, I can stop in moderation, as for the Xiaoliu River, that group of people can't hurt me at all." ”
"The only flaw is that I provoked another civil official in the court, I don't know if that Shang Shulang knew that after his young son died, he blamed you in his heart."
Chen Baichuan scoffed at this: "That person's official position can't be maintained for long. You still don't know about Wei Yingxiong, Lin Yongzhi was involved in Wei Yingxiong's matter, the crime deserves death, don't say that the person came to pursue me, Your Majesty can spare his life is merciful. ”
He told Wei Yingxiong about it 1510. Wei Yingxiong was just arrested yesterday, so the news has not spread yet, even the well-informed general is still unaware.
Chen Baili didn't have half pity for Wei Yingxiong, if he hadn't hurt the interests of the Chen family, maybe Chen Baili would have sighed and said a wrong step. But since he believed in the words of the thief of Qingguo and wanted to harm Chen Baichuan's life, it was an unforgivable crime and he was killing himself. The human heart is always partial.
The two of them talked and talked about the firearms bureau, Chen Baili said: "I have opened my eyes this time, the firearms you brought from Da Lingcheng are of miraculous use, no matter how big or small." I'm afraid it's going to be the world of firearms in the future. ”
This will Chen Baili sighed. He sighed for the future of the world's army, and as soon as firearms are born, the future wars in the world will become meat grinders. Without you living and dying, most of the casualties, I am afraid that a war will not end.
"It's still very early, if Qingguo can't find the trick of making firearms, it will be Chen Guo's world in the future." Chen Baichuan was triumphant.
Chen Baili knew that he was joking, Qingguo's national strength was prosperous, and the number of craftsmen was several times or even more than ten times that of Chen Guo. As long as Liu Tingfeng insists on implementing it, driving the craftsmen to devote themselves to firearms one after another, plus having the original as a reference, I am afraid it will not be long before the first musket of Qingguo will come out.
More importantly, Liu Tingfeng doesn't even need to go his own way, with his status in Qingguo and King Qing's trust in him, he will definitely get the full support of the whole country.
Now, although Chen Guo is in the lead, if it continues to develop like this, it may be easily surpassed by Qingguo.
This is Chen Baili's idea, if Chen Baichuan knew that he thought so in his heart, he would definitely not think so. Because Chen Guo has one of the biggest variables, it is Chen Baichuan himself.
With him, he will not watch Qingguo catch up, he will use endless inventions to let Qingguo people see the true power of firearms.
After a few greetings, Chen Baichuan led the topic to Leshan.
"Do you know the situation in Leshan?"
Chen Baili's expression changed abruptly, and he looked at Chen Baichuan solemnly: "Leshan's trip to the troubled waters, we don't need to mix it now." ”
"Not necessary? In other words, you already know the situation in Leshan? “
Chen Baili still sighed and said, "What do you think, whether it is Leshan Province or Daling Province, even if the dirty things in these places are not reported, the DPRK and China will know something." It's just that I don't have the ability to solve it. ”
"I'm afraid I don't want to solve it."
Chen Baili finally nodded and agreed with Chen Baichuan's unwillingness to solve the conclusion, he said: "In recent years, there have been many events, and Chen has unresolved external troubles, so he can't take care of internal worries. And those things left by the first emperor after all, King Chen did not dare to disobey them easily, for fear of causing infamy of unfilial piety. ”
After listening to Chen Baili's statement, Chen Baichuan knew why his expression changed greatly when he heard him mention Leshan.
Wanting to save Leshan's fate seems to be a task that is even more difficult than he imagined. Just King Chen may be infamous for being unfilial, and he will block the road to rescue Leshan. The people of this world attach importance to filial piety, and Chen Baichuan has long seen it.
It seems that it is necessary to plan well.
