Liu Niang couldn't help but interject: "Daddy, that Cheng Yue is so arrogant, isn't Daddy afraid that he will go too far and prosper and decline?" Daddy still wants to get too close to him. ”

Wen Tianxiang glanced at her and said with a smile: "Although Cheng Yue is direct, he is by no means an arrogant person, you are wrong about him." And, judging from his thoughts, he has just begun, and he is still far from being prosperous. Even if the court in the future is his world, it is not what he wants. What he was thinking was by no means so simple. ”

Yan said with some fear: "Official, this Cheng Yue doesn't want to be the emperor, right?" ”

When Wen Tianxiang heard Yan's question, he immediately became serious. The right hand unconsciously stroked his beard over and over again, lost in thought.

The whole family looked at Wen Tianxiang's face nervously, and they didn't even dare to breathe, the cheerful atmosphere in the room just now was gone.

Huanniang and the prison mother, as the daughters who are most likely to marry Cheng Yue, are even more nervous and their hands are white.

The eldest daughter Dingniang's body was already trembling, if Wen Tianxiang's answer was yes, maybe she would faint immediately.

Only the youngest Huansheng, with wide eyes, thought it was funny to look at the serious expressions on the faces of the others. Look at this for a while, look at that for a while, but I also know that I don't dare to speak nonsense.

Wen Tianxiang thought for a long time before he said, "Now I can't see that he has this meaning, but I don't know his subordinates." With Cheng Yue's strictness, there shouldn't be a big problem, right? ”

After Wen Tianxiang finished speaking, the family gasped.

Ouyang patted his chest and said, "Official, I'm scared to death." In this matter, the official should persuade Cheng Yue to be kind to him, and not to do that rebellious thing. ”

Wen Tianxiang nodded thoughtfully. "Before, I was sure that he would not rebel. Now I'm sure of that too. Things to come. I'm going to have to look at it again. ”

Seeing his words, Yan Shi made the atmosphere so solemn, and hurriedly said: "Official, you just said that you had a good meal, I don't know what kind of delicacies from the mountains and seas?" Can we taste it? ”

Wen Tianxiang smiled and said, "Speaking of this, Cheng Yue surprised me again. ”

Huang smiled: "How can you be surprised, could it be that he is a metropolitan governor and cooks by himself?" ”

Wen Tianxiang pretended to be surprised and said, "Alas, you guessed this? ”

The family couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ouyang said with a smile: "Don't sell officials. What exactly is delicious, let's also listen. If the officials like to eat, let's learn to make it, and we will definitely satisfy the officials. ”

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Wen Tianxiang laughed and said, "This is embarrassing for me." That Cheng Yue invented a method of stir-frying, and only he made it the most authentic. I also ate a few dishes thanks to the blessing of the saints. Oh, it's delicious. It's a pity that there are too few, otherwise I'd have brought some back for you to taste. He also invented a new spice called monosodium glutamate. With it, the dish has an extra fresh aroma. But that's okay. Cheng Yue will come three days later, and he will definitely bring this MSG to me. It is said that there is no sale at all outside. Only Cheng Yue can make some, and it's not enough. Cheng Yue also promised to teach us to use it, until the church. So you will have a blessed mouth. The prospective son-in-law can also cook, do you think it's funny? ”

The family thought Wen Tianxiang was joking. It's not that there are no men who can cook these years, and if the family is embarrassed, there are many men who can cook. Relatives and friends come to the door, and occasionally taste the craftsmanship of the master of the house, but they will never do it outside, let alone go to the imperial dining room to cook for the monarch and ministers to eat. What kind of person is this Cheng Yue, I can't figure it out more and more.

Ouyang finally closed his surprised mouth, thought about it, and said with joy: "Official, won't the daughter of my family who married in the past have a good mouth?" That's a good thing, right? ”

Wen Tianxiang said with a smile: "Our Grand Governor is unconventional everywhere, but it seems to be a good thing. Whoever marries in the past doesn't have to worry about being wronged, maybe we can also go to eat. ”

The three ladies smiled happily, and even Liu Niang smiled. The fifth sister Fengniang also swallowed saliva a few times.

Wen Tianxiang saw that they were happy again, and said with a smile: "There is one more thing. If the emperor wants to start studying, he naturally needs some accompaniment. Daosheng, Buddha, and Huansheng all have to enter the palace to accompany them. Remember, follow the rules and don't cause trouble for your father. ”

The family is happy again, almost celebrating with a crown. The three sons had long wanted to enter the palace to open their eyes, and they were so excited that they hugged each other. Their mothers and relatives immediately pulled them over again, telling them over and over again, lest they cause trouble in the palace.

Contrary to the atmosphere of Wenfu being a festival, Liufu is a gloomy fog.

After Liumengyan went down to the court, he came out with Chen Yizhong and saw a large number of officials scrambling to pat Cheng Yue's sycophants, and felt desolate in his heart. At that moment, he pulled Chen Yizhong, returned to the mansion with a few henchmen, served refreshments, and discussed.

There was no Huang Wanshi in the seat, and Liu Qi was not embarrassed to come, Liu Mengyan couldn't help but be sad and angry, and said angrily: "Hate Cheng Yue'er, dare to be so presumptuous, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, is it at his mercy?" Kill Huang Wanshi and Zhang Quan today, who will you kill tomorrow? Are we just going to have to sit back and die? ”

There was silence in the hall, all pondering, but there was nothing to do.

If it is to deal with others, there is no need to spend this kind of brain, as long as Xu Nang participates, Jia Yuqing adds fuel to the fire, and Liu Mengyan pretends to say a few good words, which unlucky official will be damned and injured, but Cheng Yue is different.

Cheng Yue is ostensibly an official of the imperial court, but he does not have to rely on the imperial court at all, and even has the strength to replace the imperial court at any time. For such people, all the tricks they used before were useless. I tried it today, but I was directly slapped in the face by Cheng Yue, simple and rude, but it was overwhelming.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Liu Mengyan had no choice but to focus on Chen Yizhong.

Chen Yizhong also had a solemn face, today he and Liu Mengyan suffered a great setback, to be precise, the defeat was like a mountain.

Cheng Yue's unceremonious treatment of them was simply an unprecedented shame for him, but the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager only complied with Cheng Yue's invitation, but there was no comfort. Chen Yizhong felt a huge crisis.

Coupled with the fact that Cheng Yue openly formed an alliance with Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiufu, and Sun Huchen, and many ministers of the DPRK and China also fell, Chen Yizhong did not expect the situation to deteriorate so quickly, and he was a little at a loss.

He's been thinking about countermeasures along the way, and now he's only learning a little bit about it.

Seeing that Chen Yizhong's mind didn't belong, Liu Mengyan didn't notice that he was looking over. had to cough lightly, Chen Yizhong was so clever, he immediately reacted and smiled apologetically at Liumengyan.

How could Liu Mengyan be angry with him, and said: "With Quan, I saw you thinking all the way, I don't know what to get?" ”

Chen Yizhong groaned: "Zhong Zhaigong, this matter is not easy. Cheng Yue had more than 40,000 troops in and outside the city alone, and there were more than 100,000 elite soldiers outside. In addition, Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie helped to abuse, once we provoke Cheng Yue, I am afraid that there will be unforeseen disasters. ”

Liu Mengyan sighed: "I don't know, but how can I let others slaughter me? Today you have also seen that Cheng is pressing step by step, unscrupulous, and the saint is helpless, so he can only keep retreating. Am we going to endure a twenty-year-old hairy boy in the court? It's ridiculous. ”

Chen Yizhong said: "Lin'an's troops, in addition to the hands of Cheng Yue's party, there are also Su Liuyi and Zhang Yan, for today's plan, we must find a way to win over these two people." Su Liuyi and us have never been on good terms, but it is better than being humiliated by Cheng Yue on the spot. Ask around, there's always a way to get in touch with him. As for Zhang Yan, he is in control of the forbidden army, and he is inevitably wary of colluding with the minister, and he can be persuaded by guarding against Cheng Yue's rebellion. Alas, Cheng Yue gave us all the problems, but we have to do it if it is difficult. ”

Liu Mengyan said: "Even if you have these two forces in your hands, it will be difficult to fight against Cheng Yue, so you still have to find another way." ”

Chen Yizhong said: "Now Cheng Yue's arrogance is flourishing, and he has no ill intentions towards us. In my opinion, there should be no anger at him lately, and there should be something to be done in secret. Let him be arrogant for a while, and then see who is dissatisfied with him, and then we will do something. What Cheng Yue wants to do will inevitably offend many people, why don't we stand by and let him make a big mistake and destroy himself step by step? ”

Liu Mengyan said: "If Cheng Yue controls the internal and external powers, what if we can't afford to return to the sky?" As long as this man is in control of the army, it will be even more difficult to deal with him. ”

Jia Yuqing interjected on the side: "Pingzhang still remembers that Li Dashi is now Cheng Yue's subordinate? ”

Everyone's eyes lit up. Liu Mengyan was just about to speak, Chen Yizhong flicked his sleeves and said, "Don't underestimate Cheng Yue!" Li Dashi was under Cheng Yue, how could he be allowed to be the last time? Besides, Cheng Yue deliberately did not mention Li Dashi's incident in the court, so he didn't want to give us a fatal blow in this matter at the right time? Taking a step back, even if we have a chance to kill Cheng Yue, if we don't succeed, we will naturally die without a place to bury. Even if he succeeds, will his subordinates be able to stop there? It's not who took our lives, who will take over Cheng Yue's power? The generals who accompanied Cheng Yue to the palace this time each had heavy troops, and they were not easy to match. He still has many generals, and the DPRK and China cannot find anyone who can resist it. Princes should not act rashly, lest they be killed. ”

Liu Mengyan probed the probe and said, "If we make a false accusation and let him relax his vigilance against us, is this feasible?" ”

Chen Yizhong sighed: "It's also difficult, but there is always a glimmer of hope." ”

Wu Jun, the secretary of Duzhi, got up and said: "Dong Zhuo of the Eastern Han Dynasty controls the government, and his subordinates are as strong as clouds and powerful, and Situ Wang Yun still has a way to deal with him." ”

Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong were both shocked when they heard this, exchanged glances, and said in Liumengyan: "Cheng Yue is just the blood and strength, although there are women around him, there may not be no opportunity to take advantage of it. (To be continued......)
