Chen Yuan shook his head: "Don't you have no money to give gifts?" If it's you and your brother just say it, I'll help you with the relationship above. ”

Di Qing smiled: "Brother Chen is rich, and he has heard about it here." It's just that I haven't been promoted for a few years, but I volunteered. ”

Shi Yu continued: "Shangguan wanted to promote the eldest brother several times, but the eldest brother refused. ”

Chen Yuan was surprised: "Why is this?" ”

It's not that Di Qing doesn't want to take another step forward, it's just that his current commander is qualified to command his own troops. If you improve it again, then you have to "listen to the tune".

In other words, where the emperor sent you to fight, you didn't know where your troops were at all, and you didn't see the soldiers you were going to bring until you got to the place. This doesn't matter to Di Qing, a capable person like him is not afraid wherever he goes!

But not with his soldiers. Under Di Qing, they can win battles, but under other generals, they are not so majestic, and whether they can keep their lives is a question.

Therefore, Shangguan transferred Di Qing several times, but he was retained by his brothers.

After Chen Yuan heard this reason, he immediately thought that when Di Qing was a general, there seemed to be a force of his own by his side, and every time the battle situation was at a stalemate, it was this army that broke the ice for him, which was specially approved by Renzong. Could it be these people in front of you?

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan didn't say anything more. Everything will wait until I see Renzong, if I want to get Li Yuanhao, I must get Di Qing over! Among the fierce men he has seen now, only Di Qing can do Li Yuanhao.

The next day, a group of soldiers escorted Chen Yuan and them all the way to Bianjing. What Chen Yuan really felt was that the defenders and residents near the border pass had a very good attitude towards them, and they thought that by saving the princess, they were saving the honor of the Great Song Dynasty and the dignity of a soldier.

After traveling for more than 20 days, as his footsteps stepped into the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, his speech slowly changed. When he arrived in Bianjing, some people even threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at him, scolding Chen Shimei for being capricious and provoking contradictions between the party and the Great Song Dynasty for his own selfish interests.

Two sides of the contradiction can be seen from different angles, both in the people and in the court.

Chen Yuan knew that Renzong looked at the problem from that angle, which was the key to what results he faced this time!

Above the court, they also quarreled very much about Chen Yuan's affairs! And at this time, the gangs are no longer divided according to what kind of gentleman and villain.

Pang Ji thought that Chen Yuan should be killed, and only by killing Chen Yuan could he calm the anger of the party members and allow the Great Song Dynasty to avoid war.

He stood in the middle of the court and shouted, "Hooray! Chen Shimei snatched back the princess, which in Li Yuanhao's eyes is tantamount to the hatred of taking his wife! If we don't kill Chen Shimei, Li Yuanhao will definitely have an excuse, and the old minister is only afraid of the border pass! ”

Lu Yijian let out a sneer: "Does the Grand Master think that if you kill Chen Shimei, the border will be peaceful?" ”

Pang Ji straightened his waist: "That's nature!" Li Yuanhao has no excuses, and his teacher is unknown. Even if he forcibly causes trouble, he will definitely bring shame on himself! ”

Lu Yijian did not quarrel with him, but clasped his fists and said to Renzong: "Long live, before Chen Shimei entered the customs, the party members had already begun to sneak attack our Great Song Biancheng, and five military camps were attacked by the party troops, three of which were properly guarded by our Great Song sergeants, and the party members failed to succeed." But two cities were destroyed by that Li Yuanhao! Long live, the minister thought that whether the border was peaceful or not had nothing to do with Chen Shimei. ”

"Xiangguo's words are different!" Fan Zhongyan came out of the crowd: "Long live!" It is precisely because of the troubles caused by the party members that our prediction of the war situation has deviated greatly. Li Yuanhao inflicted heavy losses on the Liao State at Waqiao Pass, which caught everyone by surprise! He is now negotiating with the Liao people, and the minister thinks that now our policy on the party should be to win over, and we must not let him stand on the side of the Liao people, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger! ”

Ouyang Xiu, who had just been transferred back by Renzong, supported his mentor: "Long live, the minister also thinks that if he doesn't kill Chen Shimei, it will inevitably make Li Yuanhao unable to come to the stage, even if he has the heart to get closer to us, I'm afraid he also has concerns in his heart." Even among the people, the hatred of killing one's father and taking one's wife are incompatible. ”

Renzong looked at Xia Zhu: "Lord Taiwei, you have been in the northwest for many years, and you know a little about Li Yuanhao. I want to know, what do you think? ”

Xia Zhu thought for a while, slowly walked out of the queue, clenched his fists and bent over: "Long live, Li Yuanhao is a genius of the world, this Wen Taowu strategy will definitely not be willing to live under the Great Song Dynasty, war is inevitable." Even if there is no Chen Shimei, he will still call. ”

Fan Zhongyan immediately said, "Lord Taiwei, we all know this. It's just that the recent outbreak of locust plagues in Junzhou and other places in my Great Song Dynasty has caused trouble among the victims, and the situation is quite serious. ”

Xia Zhu shook his head slightly: "What Lord Xiangguo said is extremely true, two people fight, not if anyone wants not to fight, they can not fight." ”

Renzong pondered for a moment, he knew all these questions, and he had already considered them. From his point of view, he wanted Chen Yuan to live.

He thinks Chen Yuan is a talent! How powerful Li Yuanhao is, Renzong knows very well in his heart. Among these people in the new generation of the Great Song Dynasty, none of them are Li Yuanhao's opponents, whether it is Wen Tao or Wu Luo.

But Chen Yuan's performance in the party project this time was very exciting, with a team of only 100 people, he killed more than 2,000 party troops before and after! Although three-quarters of them succeeded in the conspiracy and tricks in Yaode City, but later took dozens of people to Li Yuanhao to the death, and also killed hundreds of people in Li Yuanhao's hands, and finally ran back safely, this record even those generals admired!

It's a pity that such people are killed. The most important thing is that he is a talent that Zhao Yi has a fancy for.

This is the angle from which Renzong sees the problem. This angle is not from the emperor's standpoint, and it is completely different from these ministers below! Only those who have become fathers can realize that for the happiness of their children, they are willing to stand up and solve all dangers and troubles for their children!

Renzong knew that Zhao Yi had taken a fancy to this Chen Shimei. If this Chen Shimei is just a guy who likes to deceive girls with rhetoric, Renzong will definitely kill him without hesitation and let Zhao Yi die of this heart.

But Chen Yuan's performance made Renzong quite satisfied.

What made him even more satisfied was that it was impossible for a smart person like Chen Yuan not to know what kind of trouble he would face after Zhao Yi came back! But he did it, he did it for Zhao Yi. As an emperor, he was very angry, but as a father, this made Renzong very moved, and he felt that his daughter's vision was still good.

As for the women in his family, it was not a problem, Renzong had already made arrangements for Chen Yuan in this regard. As long as Zhao Yi can be happy, he is willing to solve some things for Zhao Yi that seem troublesome from Zhao Yi.

It's just that he can't say this thought, otherwise the officials will definitely impeach him for ignoring the country's social affairs! Let the ministers discuss, but some ministers are quite ignorant.

Renzong finally looked at Song Qi who was standing at the end: "Song Qi, you and Chen Shimei negotiated with the party members, I want to know, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Song Qi was very embarrassed, from his personal point of view, he despised Chen Yuan's behavior. It was you, Chen Yuan, who tried his best to send the princess over as soon as possible at the beginning, but now that you have sent it over, you are quietly robbing people! Song Qi really can't understand which play is sung.

But Xia Zhu is his teacher, and he can't stand on the opposite side of Xia Zhu. He hesitated for a moment and said: "Long live, Weichen thinks that Chen Shimei has something to say that is right." What we gave to the party members was a meat bun for beating dogs, and this Li Yuanhao was simply an ungrateful person, so he won the battle with our support, and immediately sat down with the Liao State, and made a fuss about our three passes, but it was too much. ”

Ouyang Xiu immediately said, "Otherwise! When it comes to the land of the three passes, it is also Chen Shimei who proposed to let it out, if the three passes are still in our hands now, and the party members are still fighting to the death with the Liao people in Helan Mountain, how can the form become like this! ”

Lu Yijian glanced at Ouyang Xiu: "Ouyang Xiu, when Chen Shimei proposed to let the three passes, many ministers in the DPRK and China discussed it, not to mention Chen Shimei, even none of us here thought that Li Yuanhao could take the initiative so quickly, this responsibility is put on Chen Shimei alone, is it biased?" ”

Ouyang was about to refute, and Renzong's hand patted the dragon case lightly: "Okay, don't make any more noise." Chen Shimei has been escorted back to Beijing, and Li Yuanhao's request for peace with the Liao State has been confirmed. As for what to do with Chen Shimei, I want to ask him personally. Even if you want to kill him, let him argue for himself. ”

Again, there are some things that let these steady ministers quarrel and there will be no result. What Renzong wants is that they can't get a result from arguing, only in this way can he drag things down until the character of Chen Shimei is no longer important in the whole incident.

When the ministers heard Renzong say this, it was naturally inconvenient to say anything, and Renzong looked at Bao Zheng, who was standing silently: "Bao Aiqing, bring Chen Shimei to Wende Palace." ”

Bao Zheng responded: "Minister, obey the order." ”

The hearts of the ministers next to him were shocked! It is normal for the emperor to want to see Chen Shimei, Chen Shimei's matter involves the princess and the royal family. But the Wende Hall is the place where the emperor appoints the champion after every scientific examination!

summoned Chen Shimei there, this is obviously a signal to everyone! What does Renzong want to say? Fan Zhongyan, Lu Yijian and the others were arguing just now, but now they looked at each other one by one, trying to see something in each other's eyes, but they found that the other party was as dazed as themselves.

Renzong said softly: "Xiangguo, Taishi, or Master Fan and Master Taiwei, if you have nothing to do, go with me." I wondered what made Chen Shimei so bold. ”

"Grass people Chen Shimei, knock to see the emperor, I have seen all the adults!" Chen Yuan knelt in the middle of the Wende Palace, and the five important ministers of the court were separated on both sides.

Renzong looked at Chen Yuan and smiled: "Why don't you call yourself a sinner?" The last time you beat the party envoys, they all called themselves criminals, do you think that this time you are good at strengthening the princess and killing people in the party, you are not guilty? ”

Chen Yuan raised his head very high and looked at Renzong: "The grass people are guilty, but the grass people's crime is not to rob the princess and kill people in the party." It's that the grass people shouldn't have let the princess go to make peace, let alone let the Waqiao Pass border army retreat! ”

What he said was justified, but Fan Zhongyan was shocked by Chen Yuan's attitude, these five people are not fools, so naturally they heard it at once, Chen Yuan wanted to change the direction of the spearhead!

He did it alone to rob the princess in the party, and if he was convicted according to this matter, then no one could help Chen Yuan bear anything. But Chen Yuan's implication was that he didn't make a mistake by doing this, but just to make up for a mistake.

And promised to let the princess go to make peace, and promised the Waqiaoguan border army to retreat dozens of miles, these questions are agreed by many ministers. If Chen Shimei is convicted of this crime, many ministers will not be able to escape the involvement, including Renzong, who is sitting high on the dragon chair.

Renzong slapped his chair and stood up: "Nonsense!" Bao Aiqing, you tell Chen Shimei, what kind of punishment should he be in for the crime he committed! ”
