Chapter 10 Smooth Couples

Chen Siwei is just a child, although he was named a prince three years ago, but he has never dealt with people in the officialdom. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huai'an Houfu has strict rules and never allows him to have dealings with official eunuchs. He occasionally goes out to play in cloth clothes, and his bodyguards are also secretly protected.

He has also played with a few half-sized children in Bianliang City a few times, using fake names and surnames. Most of the people in officialdom have heard of names, and only a handful of them have seen real people.

There were few people in Huai'an Houfu, firstly, Houye did not have any power, and secondly, Chen Zhi deliberately alienated the people in the officialdom. Chen Zhi did not allow Chen Siwei to make friends with the children of the eunuchs, but there was no problem in having more contact with the common people.

Huai'an Hou sounds very prominent, but in fact, Hou Ye's life is very sad. This Great Song Dynasty was defeated after more than 20 years of war.

Chen Siwei's grandfather was the founder of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was named the king by virtue of his military exploits.

The foundation of the Great Song Dynasty had just been solidified, and Chen Xin, the founder of the country, who had made great achievements, suddenly died less than three months after arriving in the fiefdom. The emperor ordered a state funeral with specifications second only to the emperor, and then took Chen Xin's only son Chen Zhi to the capital.

Descend the prince to the marquis, seal Chen Zhi as Huai'an, and give the first house to live in the capital. There is a difference between the prince and the waiting, but the gap is heaven and earth.

The prince has a fief and holds the administrative power of one party, and the lord must not leave the capital for the rest of his life.

The houses where they live only have the right of residence, and the ownership is still royal, and the descendants are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and they are not allowed to enter the court as officials, and the only advantage is that they are high.

To put it bluntly, the prince is a life of casual care, sitting on one side with power and army, and living a life of a free overlord. And Hou Ye is just a rich idler, like a goshawk in the sky with broken wings, and the tiger in Nanshan into a cage, boiling the years of trapped heroes.

Chen Zhi knew in his heart that the decline of the Chen family was a matter of time. The more low-key he is, the longer he can ensure the stability of the Chen family, so he set up a family rule of 'closing the door and locking the courtyard'.

He did not allow Chen Siwei to deal with people in the officialdom, and he himself only made friends with some elegant literati and scholars, exchanged letters with each other, and often sat together to drink, drink tea and chat.

Even with such caution, he was still involved in this 'turmoil over Su Mo', and he was forced to hand over the letters and other things between him and Su Mo.

Chen Zhi knew that they just wanted to pick a bone in the egg, and whether they handed it over or not, they would collect charges and deduct their hats indiscriminately. Chen Zhi has a deep friendship with Su Mo, he can't save Su Mo, but he won't fall into the same hole as others.

In Chen Zhi's words, "You can make up a thousand charges to kill Su Mo, but there can't be a word in those thousand charges that is related to my Chen Zhi, and I don't have anything to offer you to play with." ’。

The Chen family is not prosperous, of course they will use Chen Zhi's only son, Chen Siwei, to blackmail him. Chen Zhi was as indifferent as if Chen Siwei had nothing to do with him.

Chen Zhi knew that he couldn't protect anyone, whether it was Chen Siwei or the entire Huai'an Houfu, where they went was their fate.

This 'fate' was not destined by Chen Zhi, but by Chen Zhi's father, Chen Xin, the founding king. The reason for the decline of the Chen family lies in Chen Xin.

The Chen family has no other faults, and the Chen family has only one sin, that is, Chen Xingong is the master! The emperor is jealous of the Chen family, which is the root cause of the Chen family's bad luck sooner or later.

As early as thirty years ago, Chen Xin suddenly died, and Chen Zhi understood everything. From a prince to a marquis, this is to pull out the teeth of a tiger.

How good can a toothless tiger be? Chen Zhi cautiously lived an empty, lonely, and cold life in the flowery capital.

He lived in seclusion and tried his best to show his attitude to the emperor, but his grievances did not have the effect he wanted, and his policy of 'closing the door and locking the courtyard' meant a complete failure the moment he was invited into the palace.

Chen Siwei followed the guide generously and walked forward, constantly guessing in his heart who would be who wanted to see him?

This is Dali Temple, not a place where ordinary people can come in casually, and there are even fewer people who know that he is going to come over to pay the red copper today.

Now that he is no longer the son of the world, and Huai'an Houfu has also become Chen's mansion, most people's attitude towards their family at this time should be to avoid it.

Since Chen Zhi was invited into the palace, Steward Xu has also been running around, hoping to welcome Hou Ye back to his home, but no one is willing to help at all.

Even if it is to give face, there is no one who contributes. Therefore, when the emperor ordered to deprive him of his title and fined him eighty catties of red copper, Steward Xu directly accepted his fate.

He didn't even have the heart to go out and show for a while, he had touched too many nails, which had already made him see through the hot and cold world, and he knew that Steward Xu, who was like paper, knew that there was no need to ask for help.

Chen Siwei's head hurt and he didn't think of who would be going to see him, he followed the person who led the way, and finally came to a side hall.

In front of the side hall is a spacious 'square', a boy in brocade clothes is chasing and fighting with a group of small guys in the square, seeing Chen Siwei walking towards the side hall, he ran to the steps and stretched out his arms to block Chen Siwei's way.

"Is your surname Chen?" That boy is about the same height as Chen Siwei, born with phoenix eyebrows and dragon eyes, and his somewhat childish questions carry a sense of grandeur, and his aura is already very strong at a young age.

Chen Siwei looked him up and down, the one who can run around in this Dali Temple must not be an ordinary person, he must be the son of an official eunuch, no wonder he is a little arrogant.

Chen Siwei came to pay the fine, not to offend people, so he answered him honestly: "Yes." ”

"Your name is Chen Siwei?" The kid also looked Chen Siwei up and down.

"Yes." Chen Siwei nodded calmly, he didn't need a fake name here, he knew who he was.

"I heard that you are very good at poetry, so I will test you with a pair." The kid didn't give him a chance to refuse, and opened his mouth to come: "The wind blows a thousand lines of horsetail." ”

Chen Siwei blurted out without thinking: "The sun shines on the dragon scales and ten thousand points of gold." ”

"Sunshine dragon scales ten thousand points of gold? Yes, yes, there is yours. The child suddenly smiled, took a step forward, and whispered to Chen Siwei: "My brother was scolded by my father and father for 'rain hitting wool and a piece of felt'. I thought of a 'snow sprinkled on the wasteland', it's not as good as yours, and I'll use you when the teacher asks about it, and you are not allowed to say it. ”

"Oh." Chen Siwei nodded blankly, what is the mess?
