Chapter 179: A Wave of Unsettled

The emperor quickly recovered his body, and he did not drag his feet in dealing with government affairs, and the government suddenly returned to its former calm. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In addition to the emperor, the happiest is the Zhu family, Concubine Hui is happy, which means that the power of their Zhu family is going to be further improved, and they are full of joy hoping that Concubine Hui will give birth to the prince, thinking that they can compete with the crown prince in this way.

King Qing's illness has finally improved under Banrong's treatment, and he can return to the court. The current situation of their Liu clan is grim, not as good as before, but they firmly believe that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and their Liu clan is more hopeful of competing for the throne than the unborn prince in the belly of Concubine Hui.

It was also at this time that they were most happy, the Zhu family suddenly faced a big turmoil, there were rumors that Zhu Yun's power in the Qi State was tilted towards the government and the opposition, and it could be said that one person was above ten thousand people, but he was not satisfied with the current power, and even wanted to claim the throne and occupy the Qi country.

The emperor naturally laughed at such remarks, but coincidentally, the two Zhu Yang brothers of the Zhu family openly reprimanded them in the market, the emperor treated their Zhu family like this, it was really unfair, and their Zhu family was full of talents but they were going to be snubbed like this, it was really the emperor's eyes.

These words reached the ears of the emperor, although the emperor did not say anything, but the dispatch of the Jiedu envoy to the Qi State had indirectly indicated his attitude.

Finding out the emperor's thoughts, the Zhu's recitals have been one after another in the past few days, and Chen Xian was uneasy, and rushed to the East Palace every day.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is really too much for Zhou Lang to say such things in front of His Majesty today."

Liu Yan frowned, looked at Chen Xian, who looked restless, and suddenly asked, "Is it true that Zhu Yun didn't coerce Qi Guohou?" ”

Chen Xian opened his mouth in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of the person in front of him, the East Palace was the last reliance of the Zhu family, if even the East Palace doubted the Zhu family, then the situation of the Zhu family could be imagined.

Liu Yan saw that his face was declining, and he also felt that his question was a little abrupt, so he waved his hand and said: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to figure out that Zhu Yunyuan is in Qi State, and Qi Guohou is too young to take on heavy responsibilities, so he needs the help of all ministers, and he understands the current situation of the Zhu family, so it is inevitable that he will have such thoughts." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I dare to guarantee that General Zhu would never do such a thing, and the Zhu family is convinced of this." Chen Xian said firmly.

Liu Yan lowered his head and paced back and forth, and asked in a deep voice: "The key to the matter lies in the two brothers, Zhu Yangyun and Zhu Yangli, they should know that the Zhu family is now in the wind, how can they still say such things in the market?" ”

"The two brothers Zhu Yang drank too much that day, it was really unintentional, Zhu Guogong had already punished them, this matter is indeed what they did wrong, but it is difficult to guarantee that they are being used." Chen Xian was also full of chagrin when he talked about this.

"Your Highness, Chu Shenxia is here." Lu Zhi suddenly walked in from outside the hall, bowed down and waited for Liu Yan to reply, Liu Yan glanced at Chen Xian, and when he saw his eyes shining, he nodded.

As soon as Chu Shenxia entered the main hall, the atmosphere in the hall became a little strange, no one spoke, maintaining a stiff atmosphere, since it was Chu Shenxia who interrupted their conversation, it was naturally up to him to explain.

"Your Highness, Miss Ruoyu said that she wanted to take those children out to live for a few days."

Liu Yan glanced at him a little strangely, and wondered: "How many days will you go out and live?" Where to go? ”

"I said that I was afraid of getting bored by staying in the palace all the time, and I wanted to go to Yanhu Villa to play for a few days, let me ask His Highness what he meant." Chu Shenxia explained with a smile.

Liu Yan glanced at Chu Shenxia and felt strange, such a small matter, Ruoyu is in charge of himself, why bother Chu Shenxia to ask his opinion at this time, after thinking about it, he felt that Chu Shenxia was deliberate, so he said casually: "I know, when I eat later, I will tell Ruoyu." ”

Chu Shenxia nodded, and did not mean to retreat, Liu Yan smiled slightly, and sure enough, as he expected, he said at the moment: "Since you are here, why don't you have a cup of tea and leave, Lord Chen doesn't mind, right?" ”

Chen Xian saw that Liu Yan intended to stay in Chu Shenxia, and he was naturally very happy in his heart, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can I mind?" First...... Sir, you may be seated. ”

Chu Shenxia saw that he was very jerky when he said the word sir, and he couldn't pull his face down, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, so he sat down on the side as if no one was around.

Chen Xian watched him pour water for himself, and very leisurely picked up the teacup and drank tea, his eyes were indifferent, his expression was calm, he didn't know what to say, and he even forgot to get down to business.

On the contrary, Liu Yan said habitually: "Just talking about the two brothers Zhu Yang, no matter what, those words reached the ears of my father, if it was said by others, it would be fine, but it was the Zhu family's own people who complained there, it was really a mouthful, what is the use of punishing the two brothers at this time?" ”

"So...... Xia Guan just came to His Highness to help come up with an idea, isn't it......" Chen Xian said, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Chu Shenxia, who didn't know, Chu Shenxia was the first strategist in the East Palace, and the only strategist that Liu Yan trusted and relied on.

Liu Yan naturally understood what he meant, and when he looked at Chu Shenxia, he was a little unsure, since he had the heart to stay, he was willing to help. But the grievances between him and the Zhu family, as categorical as he said last time, how could he be willing to help the Zhu family for no reason?

"Uh...... Shen Xia, do you know the two brothers Zhu Yang? Liu Yan couldn't hold back in the end, and asked tentatively.

Under the hot gaze of Liu Yan and Chen Xian, Chu Shenxia looked so relaxed and mocked: "How could you not have heard of it? In the past few days, the affairs of the two brothers Zhu Yang have been full of turmoil in the city, what are the two brothers of Zhu Yang, I think it is the two brothers who raise pigs. ”

Chen Xian was a little annoyed when he saw him scolding, but when he heard Liu Yan's hearty laughter, he swallowed the words that rolled into his throat.

"Hahaha...... Don't be kidding, the two brothers Zhu Yang really helped me a lot last time, they are very good at managing soldiers, and they are two good seedlings. After Liu Yan finished laughing, seeing Chen Xian's face, he couldn't help but say a few good words to appease Chen Xian's mood.

Chu Shenxia didn't care, and snorted coldly: "Such a straw bag, just have the strength and don't use your brain, Your Highness will understand when you look at who they interact with, who is Ma Zhaoshi?" is the younger brother of King Qing's brother-in-law, who has a mixed position under the deputy commander Pei Chendong, and he doesn't do anything serious all day long, so he knows how to drink and go to the flower building. instigated this and that in front of the two of them all day, and felt aggrieved for their Zhu family, a few days ago, weren't these two straw bales drunk by that Ma Zhaoshi? ”

Chen Xian was very uncomfortable when he heard him say the word straw bag at first, but after listening to it, he felt that he was very reasonable, and after pondering, he kept the three words Ma Zhaoshi firmly in his heart.

Chen Xian doesn't know Chu Shenxia, doesn't Liu Yan know yet? When did he Chu Shenxia have such idleness, he was so idle that he went to inquire about who others were friends with, and these words in front of him were just indirectly confiding in the main points to help the Zhu family. Liu Yan really doesn't understand him now, since he can't say it explicitly, that is, he still has hatred for the Zhu family, so what does it mean to be like this now?

Chen Xian wanted to ask some doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak, for fear of getting the other party's rejection, so he set his eyes on Liu Yan, Liu Yan bowed slightly and said: "But the words have already reached the ears of my father, and it is useless to blame the two of them at this time. ”

"If the Jiedu envoy brings back the good news that Zhu Yun did not overstep, the emperor may not be able to dispel the doubts in his heart, but if he brings back the bad news that Zhu Yun rebelled, then the emperor will definitely believe it." Chu Shenxia swept away the tense Chen Xian, looked at Liu Yan fixedly, "Therefore, no matter what news the Jiedu envoy brings, the moment the Jiedu envoy is dispatched, the emperor has already made a choice in his heart. ”

Chen Xian was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, his heartbeat was like a drum hammer when he said this, and he couldn't hold back anymore at the moment, and said to Chu Shenxia excitedly: "Then isn't the Zhu family in a difficult situation?" I don't know if Mr. has any good ideas, I hope Mr. will save the Zhu family. ”

Unexpectedly, when Chu Shenxia heard his words, his face sank, and he said coldly: "What is the matter with the Zhu family's life and death?" I'm just analyzing the current situation, Master Chen, don't misunderstand, thinking that I want to save the Zhu family, at this time, I don't take advantage of the chaos to kick twice, it's already very humane. ”

Chen Xian's face was pale, but he couldn't attack, he looked at Liu Yan with an embarrassed face, but when he saw Liu Yan's eyes, he motioned for him to go out, Chen Xian had no choice but to bow his head and salute: "The life and death of the Zhu family will be handed over to His Royal Highness, and the lower official will leave first." ”

When everyone went out, Chu Shenxia regained his calm face, picked up the teacup and tasted the tea slowly, listening to the person in front of him sarcastically: "It is said that women's hearts are needles, when is your mind more elusive than that of women?" One moment you said to help, and the other time you said you didn't help, could it be that you are deliberately playing tricks on Chen Xian and want to see him embarrassed? ”

"Your Highness is what it says." Chu Shenxia continued to drink tea unmoved.

Liu Yan shook his head helplessly, and said in a slightly impatient tone: "I don't want to have these senseless disputes with you, Shen Xia, don't play so many dumb riddles with me, if the final result is that you will help the Zhu family, then you tell me now, what should I do." Don't waste any more time on those things, I feel tired that you can't see clearly over and over again. ”

Chu Shenxia's hand holding the tea paused, and after slowly putting down the teacup, he opened his mouth very slowly and spit out a word, "Okay." ”
