The moment the voice sounded, Chen Yuan's whole person bounced up and jumped out of the carriage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I saw Fan Zhongyan wrapped in a towel and wearing a nightgown, his emaciated body seemed to be about to fall down at any time, standing at the door of the carriage with the support of a family member. When I saw that he looked like he had gotten up from the hospital bed, his eyes were actually a little tearful.
Fan Zhongyan had already begun to get confused for a while, and sometimes he didn't even know the servants who had been with him for many years. But he had just received the news that Fan Chunyou was in prison, and God knows what force made him stand up again.
Chen Yuan hurriedly jumped down from the carriage and stepped forward to hold his arm: "Boss, you are not in good health, the lower officials will visit you when you go back, how dare you let the adults come?" ”
The corners of Fan Zhongyan's mouth moved twice, and Chen Yuan was shocked to find that two tears had overflowed from his eyes.
Fan Zhongyan cried! This is the first time Chen Yuan has seen Fan Zhongyan crying!
"Shimei, Chunyou's youth and ignorance collided with you, and you are an old godson! Now that the old decay has run out of oil, I don't want to send the black-haired person first at this time. Wang Shimei, for the sake of the old face, gives Chunyou a way to live! Where there is a collision, the old decay will not compensate you for him. Fan Zhongyan said that he was about to kneel.
Chen Yuan hurriedly hugged him: "Don't do this, boss!" Aren't you trying to kill me? ”
Fan Zhongyan's body was still trembling, and his eyes were fixed on Chen Yuan, waiting for an answer. In other words, a few years ago, he might have reasoned and debated with Chen Yuan, but now, it is a miracle that he can stand in front of Chen Yuan, he has something in his heart, but that train of thought just can't be smoothed.
Chen Yuan looked at Fan Zhongyan's appearance and sighed. In fact, he knew very well that Fan Chunyou was being used, and he was angry that Fan Chunyou was so angry that he dealt with him like this.
However, he had 10,000 reasons to kill Fan Chunyou, but in front of Fan Zhongyan, he couldn't say a single one.
Wen Yanbo behind him shouted: "Chen Shimei! Don't go too far! ”
Chen Yuan didn't think much about it, and said to Fan Zhongyan: "Don't worry, the boss, when the official returns to Beijing, it is the time for Ling Lang to go home." ”
Fan Zhongyan's body was already very weak, and Chen Yuan wanted him to go back after saying it, but he still insisted on being with Chen Yuan, because Chen Shimei's character was not very good, and Fan Zhongyan was worried that he would break his promise.
Where did Chen Yuan dare to let him run around with his illness? If something happens to this, don't talk about others, even he himself can't forgive himself.
said a lot of things to make Fan Zhongyan believe that he would definitely let Fan Chunyou go, and then arranged for Fan Zhongyan's family to take him home quickly, and asked a few messengers to follow him to take care of him.
Watching Fan Zhongyan's carriage disappear, Chen Yuan suddenly sighed: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world!" The old man still came to me like this, and this time when I go back and lie down again, I may not be able to get up. ”
Wen Yanbo also sighed: "If you can keep your word, let him look at Chunyou again, which is the best comfort for the boss." ”
Chen Yuan put aside his worries and smiled: "I will naturally do it." If I say it, I will do it! Master Wen, will you go back to Bianjing first or go back with you? ”
Wen Yanbo looked at him: "What? Are you going to stop again? ”
Chen Yuan nodded: "There are people in the city who help me do the work of those princes, and they may not have done it well yet, I think it should be just right for me to rush back to Bianjing tomorrow night." ”
Wen Yanbo shook his head: "I don't understand, who has such a great ability to appease those princes in Bianjing for you!" ”
Chen Yuan looked at him mysteriously: "You might as well guess." ”
Wen Yanbo didn't have that interest: "I can't guess. ”
But as soon as the words came out, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and he suddenly remembered someone, and Wen Yanbo's face immediately changed: "Empress Dowager Cao!" ”
Chen Yuan laughed, and his expression was obviously an acknowledgement: "Thank you, the emperor, from the time he ascended the throne to the present, he has only been to see the queen mother twice in a few months!" I used to be in Bianjing, but I went to ask for peace when I had time. ”
Wen Yanbo finally chose to go back with Chen Yuan, because he knew that since Chen Yuan told him about it, there was nothing he could do to change it.
Empress Dowager Cao! If anyone can depose the emperor, it is her. Once she is on Chen Shimei's side, the matter is really irreparable. Instead of going back and watching Zhao Shu fall to the bottom step by step, it is better to persuade Chen Yuan here again, maybe he can let go.
Wen Yanbo finally believed Chen Yuan's words now, Chen Yuan didn't want to make a big fuss, and he didn't want to ruin his and Renzong's hard work for nearly twenty years! So Chen Yuan is only targeting Zhao Shu.
The next day, at noon, Bianjing, Xiangguo Mansion.
Xia Zhu picked up the wine glass in front of him: "Princes, please, since the official was in poor health, he rarely went to the court, and he never visited the princes again. ”
Xia Zhu has a treat today, and the princes can't help but come. Because he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, his identity and status are more noble than that of the prince. And at this time, Xia Zhu's invitation must be related to the situation in front of him. Which side did Xia Zhu decide to be on? This is very important.
The king of Chu hugged his fist at Xia Zhu: "What Lord Xiangguo said made me feel embarrassed, Xiangguo is not in good health, I will wait for the current time to visit, but there are too many of these affairs, so I should ask Lord Xiangguo to include it." ”
Xia Zhu smiled slightly: "Don't say more kind words." Ladies and gentlemen, this official did not invite you here this time for the sake of food and wine. There is no shortage of these water and wine in the palaces of the princes. Let's tell the truth, now the situation in Bianjing is too chaotic, the ministers are panicking, the businessmen have no intention of running it, and the old man is the prime minister of the dynasty, I think, I must stand up and do this thing. ”
Several princes glanced at each other, and finally turned their eyes to the king of Chu, who hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "The situation is unstable now, and it is all caused by Chen Shimei." I don't know what Sangkook-sama plans to do? ”
Xia Zhu put down his wine glass: "Chen Shimei? He had to go to Qiongzhou. This is a good thing that the emperor said when he was there, and there were many times when the old man was present, and Chen Shimei couldn't go back. ”
These words reassured those princes, and they breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay! Xiangguo rest assured, we will definitely have the power to support Xiangguo. With Xiangguo coming forward, I believe that Chen Shimei will not be able to turn over any storms! ”
Xia Zhu nodded: "It's good that there are no wind and waves, the wind and waves are calm, the old man can recuperate with peace of mind, you can walk dogs and birds all day long, make money for those businessmen to do, and let the farmers plant the grain." ”
King Chu was still a little worried: "Lord Xiangguo, is Chen Shimei willing to go?" ”
Xia Zhu looked at King Chu: "I also want him to leave willingly, but now, it seems to be very difficult, right?" ”
Several princes couldn't help but nodded. A smile floated on the corner of Xia Zhu's mouth: "Everyone, Chen Shimei originally told the emperor that it was good, why don't you leave now?" ”
The prince didn't speak, why didn't Chen Yuan leave? The reason for this is very simple, everyone knows that this is something that Zhao Shu came up with.
It's just that they don't want to say. Xia Zhu smiled: "Whoever provokes the matter, who else has to solve it." The old man can wipe his ass, but he has to cock it. ”
King Chu was stunned in his heart, suddenly realized something, and looked at the people present in a blink of an eye, why did Xia Zhu invite more than a dozen princes, but there was no figure of King Pu?
His body couldn't help leaning back, wanting to see what else Xia Zhu had to say, so he saw Xia Zhu slowly stand up and clasp his fist at the screen behind him: "Respectfully the Queen Mother!" ”
The princes at the table suddenly stood up, and the Empress Dowager Cao walked out step by step with Zhao Shi in her hand.
Those princes hurriedly left the table and knelt down to greet the Empress Dowager Cao: "Minister, see the Empress Dowager!" ”
King Chu now understands in his heart, his eyes can't help but drift to Xiao Zhao Shi, who is still walking steadily, and he is very nervous in his heart.
Empress Dowager Cao sat down on the chair, hugged Zhao Shi in her arms, and then waved her hand: "Uncle Wang, please sit down." ”
The princes sat down sideways one by one, staring at Queen Cao, only to see that Queen Cao's eyes were red, and the tears fell down in tears.
This really made those princes a little frightened, and the king of Chu was older, and coughed lightly: "Queen Mother, the old minister dares to ask why the Queen Mother is crying?" If there is a grievance, although the old minister is old, he will not allow others to bully the first emperor Yu Wei! ”
After the King of Chu said this, he glanced at Xia Zhu, and the meaning of his words was very clear, no one could bully the Empress Dowager Cao, and similarly, no one could use the Empress Dowager Cao. Lao Zhao's family, no one can bully in the Great Song Dynasty.
Xia Zhu walked over slowly, pulled Xiao Zhao Shi from the hands of the Queen Mother, and called a maid at the same time: "Take the little prince to play." ”
The maid pulled Zhao Shi and ran away, the child didn't understand anything at all for a week or so, where people pulled, his two calves went there, of course, if you were willing to hold him, it was the best.
After the child went out, Xia Zhu stood in front of the Empress Dowager Cao: "Empress Dowager, all the princes are your relatives, and the old ministers are also loyal to the first emperor, what do you have to say, you can say it now." ”
Empress Dowager Cao's crying first stopped, then she looked at the people in the room, and suddenly cried out loud: "Uncle Wang, the mourning family doesn't know how to live well!" ”
The princes in the room were shocked, and the king of Chu whispered comfortingly: "Queen Mother, what grievances have you suffered?" Take your time. ”
Empress Dowager Cao wiped her tears and sobbed and said, "Originally, the mourning family was a woman's family, so she shouldn't have any ideas. It's just that the mourning family is really worried, so Xiangguo invited all the uncles to make decisions for the mourning family. ”
The princes didn't speak, and quietly listened to the Empress Dowager Cao tell her grievances.
Empress Dowager Cao started from Zhao Shu's succession, and for a few months, since he became the emperor, he has hardly come to ask for peace. Forget it, it's not her own, and Empress Dowager Cao doesn't dare to expect anything. But what made her unacceptable was that compared to herself, Zhao Shu ran to King Pu's mansion after getting off the court.
The princes all know these things that the Empress Dowager Cao said, and from the perspective of a prince, they also think that Zhao Shu has done something too much.
But now take this out and say it, they don't dare to make any statement easily, you look at me, I look at you, after the Queen Mother finished speaking, no one said anything.
When Empress Dowager Cao saw that they didn't speak, her expression suddenly became sad, and she whimpered and said, "The first emperor! Why did you leave all of a sudden? Leaving a concubine and a widow, how to keep your business! ”
Those princes were quite ashamed of what they said.
The people of the Great Song Dynasty are like this, if the husband is dead, if the lady is widowed, then it is the responsibility of the uncles to take care of her life!
Seeing that these princes all bowed their heads, Xia Zhu coughed lightly: "Queen Mother, minister, one sentence." ”
He took a sip of wine gently: "Ladies and gentlemen, it stands to reason that this official is an outsider, and this matter should not be interfered with." But since the Queen Mother has found me, it is my duty to do so. ”
"And," Xia Zhu paused slightly, looking at the expressions of those princes: "To tell you the truth, from the emperor's accession to the throne to the present, this official has not concealed some of the emperor's practices. Ignoring the important ministers left by the first emperor is unbelievable. To the queen mother in the harem without asking, it is unfilial. It is unjust to arbitrarily talk about the things that the first emperor and Chen Shimei have already negotiated. It is unkind to connive at Fan Chunyou to contact the people of Nadongying. As soon as the first emperor left, he sabotaged the policy of the first emperor and forcibly arranged the president of the chamber of commerce, which was disloyal. ”
Unfaithful, unfilial, unrighteous, unkind, unbelieving.
