Chapter 391: The Closed Gate of Jiangfu

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Baichuan left with his knees on the ground, and the whole person slowly stood up. When he got up, he glanced at the hall again, except for a few eunuchs and guards, there was no one else. Alas, Jiang Changyin, this good helper, is really not here today. Today, he can only rely on himself.

King Chen tried his best not to show flaws, he didn't want to show his emotions in front of his courtiers, and said roughly the same as usual: "Aiqing suddenly entered the palace for something?" ”

Knowingly asked, Chen Baichuan slandered.

He didn't believe that the current King Chen would not know the news in the city, this guy had already exposed the true nature of the king. The Firearms Bureau was already able to explain his precautions against Chen Baichuan that time, and if he wanted to say that there was no Chen Wang's eyeliner in the city, Chen Baichuan would not believe it. He couldn't say this to Chen Wangming, so he had to answer according to his words:

"Your Majesty, there are rumors in the city, saying that Your Majesty deliberately sent my brother Chen Baili to Daheng. This is nonsense, and the rhetoric attempts to portray His Majesty as a person who does not care about feelings. The minister was terrified when he found out, and hurriedly took this matter into the palace to report. ”

"Oh?" Chen Wang had expected that Chen Baichuan would talk about this matter, but he didn't pretend to be pretentious, and said bluntly: "The widow has known about this matter for a long time. However, the widow still has doubts, what is Aiqing afraid of. ”

Chen Baichuan already had a statement in his heart: "The minister's panic is because of two things. First, there are people in the city who spread rumors, intending to drive the emotions of the people in the city to hurt His Majesty's image. The second is that the minister is afraid that His Majesty will misunderstand this matter and the identity of the minister in it. ”

"Not you?"

"It's not." Chen Baichuan bent down slightly and replied firmly.

King Chen became more and more unconvinced that this matter was the handiwork of Chen Baichuan, and he was also worried that the people's emotions were really stirred, and he must know that the general had great influence in the city. At the same time, this incident also revealed a scar in his heart, and he regretted sending Chen Baili to Daheng.

King Chen knew that Chen Baichuan would definitely have a way to calm down this matter, and said, "Then Aiqing has a way to solve this matter." ”

"The minister has already ordered the people in the house to do it, and the power of the government cannot be used in this matter, otherwise it will give the people behind the scenes an excuse, so the minister uses the servants of the house. They will use the name of the Chen family to spread the news that the general is safe and sound. Chen Baichuan said his arrangement.

King Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's wonderful. Then you have a way to find out who is behind the scenes. ”

Chen Baichuan said truthfully: "I don't have a clue who it is for the time being. However, the identity of the person behind the curtain has a scope. His method this time was so similar to the public opinion offensive I had originally said in the temple, I think that the man was in the temple at that time. ”

"Your Highness?" King Chen's face was not very good, and the people in the palace at that time, except for a group of eunuchs and guards, were civil and military officials in the court. Whoever commits this incident will be slightly turbulent in the DPRK and China. The key is that this person actually pulled King Chen into the water.

The fight between the courtiers is very normal, even if it is a party for personal gain, King Chen can turn a blind eye. King Chen's bottom line is that they can't touch Chen Guo's interests and can't involve him!

And the person behind this incident not only made his reputation damaged, but even caused the relationship between him and Jiang Changyin to break down.

This man, unforgivable!

Since this person is not Chen Baichuan, the matter is very simple, in the eyes of Chen Guoren, who knows Chen Baichuan, Chen Baichuan is simply an almighty baby. Even, he even went on as a general to repel the invasion of Qingguo. With him, it's only a matter of time before he wants to find out who is behind the scenes.

Chen Wang believed in Chen Baichuan's ability very much, and he said: "Chen Aiqing, you have to pay more attention to this matter, and you must find out the people behind the scenes." The widow allows you to use all your power, even if it is to make the city stormy, and you can't let that person go unpunished. ”

"Yes!" One of Chen Baichuan's purposes today was to get this order from King Chen, but what he didn't expect was that this order came so easily, and King Chen simply believed that this matter was not his handiwork. Today's King Chen is really pleasant.

Before leaving the gate of the palace, Chen Baichuan met a guy dressed as a soldier, holding a letter in his hand and shouting: "Great victory, great victory." ”

Chen Baichuan stopped him curiously and asked, "What big victory?" ”

The guy dressed as a soldier obviously didn't know Chen Baichuan, he was a little flustered, or the eunuch next to him reminded him that it was Lord Shangshu, so he replied excitedly: "It's Leshan Province, the army finally wiped out the bandits and robbers in Leshan Province, and the people cheered for three days and three nights after knowing it, and sent the army to the next province before giving up." ”

Chen Baichuan didn't care about the doubtful authenticity of the statement of "cheering for three days and three nights", which was exaggerated but a common technique in military newspapers. He also said happily: "I didn't expect it to be the news of Leshan Province, after so long, the bandits and robbers have finally been cleaned up." This is really gratifying, send this news to the palace quickly, His Majesty King Chen knows, maybe you will be rewarded as a general. ”

The clouds of the past few days seem to have dispersed a lot because of this good news, and Chen Baichuan also showed a sincere smile on his face for a long time. He watched the soldiers excitedly go in the direction of King Chen, and he turned around and prepared to leave.

He didn't know what to do today, and the matter of public opinion in the city had been handed over to Lin Jiu and Lao Lu. With his current status, he naturally doesn't need to do everything, and he only needs to give an idea to his subordinates, and he needs to do it himself when he is really not at ease.

Where are you going?

Chen Baichuan thought about it, and still told the sedan chair man to take him to Jiangfu.

Old Man Jiang rarely did not enter the palace today, I am afraid that he was sick. Looking at King Chen's unharmed look just now, it should be a minor illness. However, since he knew about this matter, not visiting him was really against Old Man Jiang's recent care.

Soon after, the sedan chair arrived outside the gate of Jiangfu, and Chen Baichuan looked at the closed gate of Jiangfu, and couldn't help but show a little surprise on his face. Old man Jiang, what happened to him, he even closed the door of the mansion.

Chen Baichuan didn't want to return in vain, so after thinking about it, he stepped forward and knocked on the door. Tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk.

There were a few rings, and the door opened a crack. The face exposed inside is the housekeeper of Jiang Mansion. When he saw that it was Chen Baichuan, a regular customer, he said: "My lord, when my lord returned to the house, he said that he would close the door of the house and would no longer welcome guests today." Adults are smart people, they should understand what is going on, and don't embarrass me, a little person. ”

When the housekeeper said this, Chen Baichuan had no choice but to let him close the door.
