After Chen Yuan walked out of the cell, he let out a long breath and let out the depression in his chest: "Chasan, I still have some things to do, you go back and help me ask them, if they are willing to go with me, you let them wait here for a while, and I will come back immediately." ”

Yan Chasan nodded: "Well, what else do you have to do?" Do you want my help? ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "No, I'm going to Yelu Hongji, this time, I'm going to take them to Qiongzhou together." ”

Yelu Hongji and Xiao Tali are in Bianjing, although the Great Song Dynasty eats and drinks a lot, and they will not kill them, but this kind of life as a prisoner is really bitter, and it is bitter in the heart.

Renzong is alive, Chen Yuan doesn't dare to bring these two people, and he doesn't need to ask this question, because Renzong is a good person, he will take care of Yelu Hongji's already pitiful self-esteem to the greatest extent, and he will not necessarily do worse than himself.

But now that Renzong is gone, the new emperor Chen Yuan is not at ease, so let's take them away.

Xiao Tatari's mental state is much better now, Yelu Hongji said, she only thinks of those things occasionally, but during this period of time, Xiao Tatari recited the most Yelu Nian Chen and Yelu Ling. Hearing Chen Yuan say that he was going to take her to meet them, Xiao Tali was very happy.

Just when Chen Yuan was helping them pack up their things, Shen Rui also walked out of Dali Temple Prison. When Shen Rui walked to his house in a trance, there was a feeling of being separated from the world.

Really, all these changes that came suddenly caught her off guard, especially the departure of Commander Yang, and Shen Rui didn't know where her future was.

Just now, Yan Chasan told her that when Chen Yuan asked her to go to Qiongzhou, she refused without thinking about it. Chen Shimei? This person has brought a thrilling excitement to herself, but that excitement is like a rainbow in the sky, it may look very pleasing to the eye, and it may make you miss it again in the future, but it is too ethereal for Shen Rui, what she pursues is a man, a man who belongs to her, which Chen Shimei obviously can't do.

Shen Rui stood at the door of her house for a long time, and finally decided to go in, even if the only thing waiting for her in the future was loneliness, she had to face that loneliness.

With a slight push, the door opened. Shen Rui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a figure jumped out of the kitchen, Commander Yang was wearing an apron on his body, holding a spatula in his hand, and his face was full of soot and dust.

"Lady, are you back? I originally wanted to make a delicious meal to surprise you, but, but, "Commander Yang has been envoy for a long time, and Shen Rui knows it by looking at him like that, but he doesn't have this skill."

Shen Rui suddenly cried, but this time she laughed while crying.

Commander Yang said: "Ping said that it is very simple to see that you cook, but I tinkered with it twice, but I made this picture!" ”

Shen Rui flew into his arms and hugged his shoulders tightly: "Why don't you pick me up?" I thought you were gone! ”

Commander Yang sighed: "Isn't this without self-confidence!" I heard that Chen Shimei is back again, and I am afraid that you will go with him again, and if I go, it will embarrass everyone, so I am waiting here. Actually, I'm afraid you won't come back. ”

Shen Rui punched him hard, and Commander Yang hurriedly took off his apron: "Okay, it's good to come back, this cooking thing is still up to Mrs. Lao, I'll go buy some wine and come back, let's have a good drink today!" ”

When the carriage was set, news had already come from outside, and just this morning, Zhao Shu announced his abdication, and Zhao Yan, the third son of King Li, succeeded him as the new emperor.

Zhao Yan is seventeen years old this year, and he is really unprepared for this sudden happiness. He was very surprised to be able to sit in this position, and even King Li himself was very surprised.

The other princes competed too much, and in the end, the Empress Dowager Cao really had no way to decide who to use, so she simply didn't use it, and pulled out Zhao Yan, who was never obvious in the middle of the prince.

Chen Yuan looked at the busy crowd on the street, this matter was spreading rapidly, and the people who walked by him were talking about this earth-shattering change, but no one interrupted their lives with this matter.

Nothing has changed, this result is what Chen Yuan wants to see, and it is also what those princes and ministers want to see.

Chen Yuan loaded the last box of things into the carriage: "Let's go." ”

Yelu Hongji helped Xiao Tali to sit in the car and looked at Chen Yuan: "Are you really willing?" ”

Chen Yuan didn't answer this question, because he didn't know if he was really willing, and the faint loneliness in his heart might not be noticed by others, but it was very difficult to deceive himself.

Yelu Hongji had already gotten the answer, and patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder with a smile: "Let's go." ”

Xiao Tali suddenly seemed to see something, and pointed to a street corner in front of him: "That person!" ”

Yelu Hongji was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiao Tatar's hand, but saw nothing.

"Mother, who did you see?"

Xiao Tali shook his head in confusion: "I don't know, I saw a person just now, as if I knew him." ”

Yelu Hongji didn't take it to heart, and helped her into the carriage and sat down: "You must have seen it wrong!" Let's rest in the carriage, and we'll go to my sister and Nian Chen immediately, and they'll be waiting for us in Qiongzhou. ”

Chen Yuan frowned: "Wait a while, I'll take a look." ”

He ran a few steps to the street corner and looked in both directions, and there was no one on the left, and a beggar with a broken leg was crawling on the ground on the right.

Chen Yuan looked at the figure of the beggar, the beggar turned his head slightly, and when he saw Chen Yuan looking at him, he was even more panicked, and his hands were even harder.

The moment the beggar turned around, Chen Yuan was really shocked, although his face was full of dirt, Chen Yuan still recognized him at a glance: "Lord Zhang! Zhang Li! ”

Zhang Li didn't stop at all, the frequency of his hands was faster, he couldn't keep up with the fast, one hand was not supported, and his whole body lay on the ground.

Chen Yuan caught up in a few steps and held him down.

"I'm not Zhang Li! I'm not Zhang Li! ”

Zhang Li covered his face with the ragged sleeves, and when he himself realized that it was futile, he immediately gave up. He muttered, "I, I, I just want to see her again......"

Chen Yuan sighed: "Why are you suffering? Let's go, I'll take you to her! ”

Zhang Li struggled hard: "I'm not going!" I don't want her to see me like this! It was at this time that Xiao Tatar's face came out from behind Chen Yuan, and Zhang Li's whole person was stunned.

Xiao Tali smiled and said to Yelu Hongji: "Your Majesty, look, I said that we must know this person, right?" ”

Yelu Hongji also looked at Zhang Li and shook his head slightly, and then said to Chen Yuan: "Shimei, can our carriage seat another person?" ”

Before Zhang Li could speak, Xiao Tali said on the side: "If you can't, just change to a big one." ”

Zhang Li didn't say anything, he was really ashamed when Xiao Tatari saw his current appearance, lowered his head, and couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. Chen Yuan looked at Yelu Hongji, and the two of them reached out together and lifted Zhang Li up from the ground: "Let's go!" ”

As soon as he got into the carriage, there was a sound of galloping horses' hooves in front of him, and Yelu Hongji's brows furrowed: "Someone is coming, is it here to kill you?" Maybe your new emperor has repented, and he will also take you under the knife. ”

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "He dares!" Leave them alone, let's go! ”

The carriage slowly moved away like a city gate, and a knight behind him rushed over quickly: "Big brother, go slowly!" Little brother will give you a ride! ”

Chen Yuan turned around, only to see that Yang Wenguang was getting closer and closer, and those generals who were training in the Bianjing Military Academy also came, they were following behind Yang Wenguang, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness and reluctance on everyone's faces.

Chen Yuan smiled: "No need! Start asking you to help me first, you don't agree, what are you going to do with me now? ”

Yang Wenguang replied simply: "Our Yang family has been favored by the emperor for generations, and we don't do anything to rebel, but the eldest brother is leaving, if I don't send it, it will really be unsightly!" ”

Of course, the carriage was not as fast as the horses, and was chased by Yang Wenguang and others while speaking, Yang Wenguang said: "Isn't the eldest brother angry with his brother?" In this way, my brother will send you out of Bianjing, and give you wine outside to make amends? ”

Chen Yuan laughed: "I'm not so stingy!" In the future, we will fight well, and we will fight with those big cannibals! I'm gone, and I'll leave it all to you! ”

Yang Wenguang nodded: "Big brother rest assured." ”

Gao Yingxi in the back also caught up: "General, I have learned the words of those big cannibals, do you want me to say a few words to you?" ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "I don't understand what you said, as long as those people also understand!" Yan Zhan on the side said: "You dare to say it if you don't understand him!" ”

Chen Yuan laughed, the speed of the carriage did not decrease at all, Wu Ming and Dong Kui and others next to him walked to the front with their own team to open the way for him, and did not go far, only to see a team of businessmen already standing on the side of the road, seeing Chen Yuan's carriage, Chen Shizhong immediately rode up to meet him: "Big brother, stop for a while, everyone wants to give you a ride!" ”

Chen Yuan frowned: "Didn't you tell you not to alarm others?" ”

Chen Shizhong was extremely aggrieved: "I didn't alarm, everyone came by themselves!" They said they were going to give you something as a souvenir! ”

Chen Yuan didn't stop at all: "Thank them for me!" Wu Ming, keep moving! ”

Wu Ming commanded: "Get the order!" ”

Seeing Chen Yuan's carriage speeding away from him, those businessmen were immediately a little stunned, and the shopkeeper Xiao Wang stomped his feet: "I said that the carriage should be used to block the road first!" You just don't listen, what is the good now? ”

One person reacted quickly: "Quick! Catch up! You'll always catch up! ”

Hundreds of businesses set up cars at the same time, and the whole street suddenly panicked.

Chen Yuan galloped wildly, and in the middle of the carriage, a bright light suddenly came, "Do! With a bang, a flying knife wiped Chen Yuan's hair and nailed it to the carriage behind him, which really scared Chen Yuan into a cold sweat.

The surrounding generals were also shocked, and when they were about to arrest the assassin, they only heard Yang Wenguang say: "Don't chase it, the person who came is not malicious!" ”

Chen Yuan came back to his senses, turned his head to look at the flying knife, there was actually a letter on it, and when he opened it, he saw that it was all words of admiration for himself.

I think that those knights on the rivers and lakes also used their unique way to give themselves a ride, which really made Chen Yuan cry and laugh. It's not fun! If they miss, wouldn't they be wronged?

There are still people waiting for Chen Yuan ahead, and Chen Yuan now knows that his popularity is so good. Some of the people who heard the news had already placed the incense case at the gate of the city, and they also took some good things of their own, hoping that the master of the horse would also take it to make a souvenir.

But Chen Yuan didn't get out of the carriage at all, and he didn't want to say goodbye to them, because saying goodbye didn't mean anything other than adding sadness.

Running all the way out of the city gate, Chen Yuan turned his head and said to Yang Wenguang: "Okay, you guys should go back too!" ”

Yang Wenguang shook his head: "Big brother, I'm giving you a ride." ”

"Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, fight your battle well, I will watch you in Qiongzhou! Don't let those big cannibals knock your panties off, and let me clean up those few inches of stuff for you. ”

Yang Wenguang smiled: "Big brother, don't worry, brother's thing is on himself, it's strong!" ”

Chen Yuan looked back, the merchants behind him had already caught up, some people with horses also joined in the fun, and some officials of the imperial court were actually mixed in, Chen Yuan knew that if he was caught up by these people, he wouldn't be able to leave today!

"All the soldiers obey the order!"

Chen Yuan shouted, and the generals responded in unison: "The last general!" ”

Chen Yuan said: "Help General Ben stop the chasing soldiers in the rear, General Ben will go first!" ”

Everyone was stunned at first, and then Gao Yingxi was the first to strangle the horse's head: "Yes!" ”

The generals immediately stopped, lined up and prepared to block the crowd that was catching up from behind. Yang Wenguang also stopped, he sighed softly, stared at the direction where Chen Yuan disappeared immediately, and whispered: "Big brother, take care." ”

Just when everyone was lost, Chen Shimei's tone came from inside the carriage and sang Peking Opera:

"Master Ma took a closer look. It was written that Qin Xianglian was thirty-two years old and sued Ma Lang of the dynasty. He deceived the king, concealed it from the emperor, and repented of his marriage and recruited the east bed. Killing his wife and son, he forced Han Qi to death in the temple. pressed the paper on the lobby of a certain place, gritted his teeth, which one are you for! ”

…… Chen Yuan left like this, not even giving some people who missed him a chance to say goodbye. But there is still a future.

Let's start with the Imperial Cabinet, which consisted of eight princes and a minister, nine people, who could vote on some things.

The development of the matter in the future really proves one thing, that is, the country belongs to the old Zhao family, and it is impossible for them not to care. This time, the contradiction between Zhao Shu and Chen Shimei made these princes of the old Zhao family realize that neither the powerful ministers nor the faint monarchs should appear in the Great Song Dynasty.

In order to prevent the recurrence of faint monarchs, the imperial cabinet they formed stipulated that the emperor must refer to their opinions if he wants to appoint a prince in the future, and if they think that the emperor's favorite prince is not enough to sit firmly in the Great Song Dynasty, they can ask the emperor to remove other princes.

Of course, if the emperor has only one son, then this article will be null and void.

Zhao Yan didn't have much prestige, he could only be at the mercy of these princes, and handing over some imperial power was something he had to do.

In addition, in order to stifle the soil for the rebreeding of powerful ministers like Chen Yuan, the first order issued by these princes after forming the imperial cabinet was: "The county order, the commander and the above scholars or generals are not allowed to do business!" ”

They believe that Chen Yuan's rise is a process of the convergence of power and money. When a rich man has power, or a powerful person suddenly becomes rich in the world, then he will become a powerful minister. This imperial cabinet system lasted for more than 100 years, until when the Great Song Dynasty launched the war to conquer Europe, when the emperor Zhao Gou was incompetent and issued wrong orders in a row, and the imperial cabinet did not play the supervisory role it should have played during that period.

At the same time, it was also due to the fact that at that time a good balance had been found between the scholars, the military generals, and the merchants, and the development of society had made them quite dissatisfied with the imperial cabinet, and they attacked the imperial cabinet together, and finally the cabinet was forced to accept twenty-four civil and military ministers.

Speaking of Chen Shizhong, Xia Zhu let him enter the court, there is no grade, Chen Shizhong later went to Qiongzhou many times, his ocean trade was very large, and he became the second richest man in the Great Song Dynasty after Chen Yuan.

Zhang Kuangzheng spent his whole life on the ocean, and he went to sea five times in a vain attempt to find the end of the sea and the sky. But whether it was east or west, he couldn't find it. Later, when he was sixty years old, he made a decision to go south. That was the last time he went to sea, going to sea with more than 3,000 ships, and never returning.

It was not until 300 years later, with the application of the steam engine, that human navigation became more convenient, and some people followed in the footsteps of this legendary navigator to find the frozen Great Song fleet in Antarctica. Zhang Kuangzheng was immortalized, his body was lifelike, and his facial expression was resolute and determined. Some sculptors carved his appearance into a statue for all the adventurers of later generations to worship.

What surprised Chen Yuan the most was Sima Guang.

Sima Guang is crippled, and no one cares about him anymore, but he is not willing to sink, his legs are without him and his hands are gone! Sima Guang stayed in his room for twenty years, and when he came out again, he carried a thick copy of the "Zizhi Tongjian", which recorded many major events in history, even more complete than the "Historical Records".

With this book, Sima Guang won the biggest award in the literary world that year - the Chen Shimei Award.

Unfortunately, Sima Guang did not go to receive the award. Sima Guang became an inspirational version of the disabled person, and he left a clear sentence: "If I don't have legs, I will walk with my hands!" ”

Fan Chunyou's later life was quite plain, Fan Zhongyan was honest all his life, and he didn't leave any assets to him, and after Fan Zhongyan's death, Fan Chunyou made a living on the street to help people metabolize letters. Later, Ouyang Xiu once proposed to arrange another idle position for him, but Fan Chunyou himself refused, and he ended his life like this, and what he said when he was dying was: "I have fought in this life, and this is enough." ”

and Liu Yong, he did not follow Chen Yuan to Qiongzhou, but took a few of his women to live a life of swimming and playing in the water, which greatly triggered his inspiration, so he wrote many popular masterpieces under the pen name of "Rebirth Qilang".

Chen Dongge and Ning Ge'er performed very well in the ensuing war, and the two of them became the leaders of the new generation of the Great Song Dynasty after Di Qing and Liu Ping, and fought in the Middle East all their lives, until the Song Dynasty completely broke down the Arab Empire into more than 20 small countries, and there was no longer any power around to challenge the Great Song Dynasty.

Wang Lun, Li Tiegun and others later settled in Mongolia, and he became the immortal of the new generation of Mongols, and founded the Mongol Empire pro-Great Song. Wang Lun's empire relied on trading with the Great Song Dynasty as its main source of income, in order to provide the Great Song with mercenaries as their way to survive.

This made the Great Song Dynasty have few rivals in military affairs.

More than 100 years later, the Song Dynasty wielded the whip of God against Europe for economic reasons, and included the entire Eurasian continent into the sphere of influence of the Great Song Dynasty.

This made it impossible for the Mongols to adapt for a while. More than 500 Mongol mercenary soldiers who were unwilling to lay down their arms crossed the White-Collar Strait under the leadership of their capital Temujin, and began a nightmare career for the Americans, which lasted for 500 years.

As for Chen Yuan, he became a very controversial figure, on the one hand, his merits cannot be erased, on the other hand, the people of the Song Dynasty did not approve of his methods. What is surprising is that some scholars from Yingzhou and Goryeozhou are the staunchest supporters of Chen Shimei, and they sing praises and write biographies for Chen Shimei, believing that without Chen Shimei, they would not have the happy life they have today

Chen Yuan already knew the ending about this, engaging in some countries is like engaging in women, you don't have to do it painfully, she sues you for being disturbed. But if you make her comfortable, she's your woman.

There is another thing that people can't trace is how many women Chen Shimei has in his life, it's good to say in the early stage, the official of the Great Song Dynasty can give statistical data, including no Zang's can be counted as one, but when he arrives in Qiongzhou, there is no way to count it.

It is said that when Chen Shimei died, there were more than 200 women who appeared as his wife and concubine, and Chen Shimei also learned the way of health preservation from Xu Huaide, and gave birth to a son at the age of eighty-three, and did not die until he was ninety-eight years old.
