Chapter 435 Commitment

Every change of dynasty in China's history has been accompanied by endless pain and suffering. The cruelty of history is reflected in the text, which is often words such as "cannibalism of the sons" and "slaughter of the city". There are many assumptions about the Ming Dynasty, such as whether the Ming Dynasty could embark on the road of capitalism on its own in a peaceful environment without the entry of the Manchu Dynasty, and so on.

In any case, the Ming Dynasty needed change. How to change? It's a big subject. Chen Xie used a stupid method, that is, to cultivate a new class, and when the strength of this class reached a certain level, quantitative change caused qualitative change. Probably only in this way can a unified country undergo fundamental changes.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Chen Xie caught up with this day and came to Jingshi. The formation that greeted him exceeded all Chen Xie's expectations. Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, was the leader, and basically all the ministers in Beijing arrived. And it was a greeting team fifteen miles out of the city, and Chen Xie didn't understand what kind of music was played, but he felt that the atmosphere was solemn when he listened to it.

Chen Xie didn't dare to slack off and dismounted early. Zhou Yanru stepped forward with hundreds of officials and arched his hand: "Sihua, Zhou is here at the behest of His Majesty, waiting for the big car to return to Beijing." Chen Xie turned sideways and did not accept the full salute, and replied: "Chen Xie has just done his duty as a minister, and he does not dare to accept this great gift, please let the honor guard retreat, otherwise Chen Xie will wait here and not take a step forward." ”

said so resolutely, the reason is that Chen Xie feels that this specification is too unconventional. The Ming Dynasty ceremony is a very important matter, and it is a very serious crime to exceed the system. Even if Chen Xie doesn't have to worry about the threat of overreaching, he doesn't want to make a big mistake on this issue. Get yourself in unnecessary trouble. With this formation here, Chen Xie is really worried that there is a problem.

Since you don't understand this, let everyone withdraw, otherwise Chen Xie won't leave.

Zhou Yanru looked at the ministers helplessly, and then looked at Chen Xie, who took the initiative to take ten steps back and stood there without moving. I was secretly bitter in my heart. There is no doubt that this is a pit, and those people in the Ministry of Rites are doing it. Zhou Yanru doesn't understand? He understood, but he just said it.

Chen Xie still has a problem here, that is, he didn't see Yang Tinglin. So many civil officials. Yang Tinglin is the only person who can solve his doubts.

Just Chen Xie didn't move. insisted on removing the guard of honor, when the civil and military officials were extremely embarrassed. Two fast horses arrived, and those who got off the horses were Cao Huachun and Yang Tinglin, who appeared together. It's rare.

After Cao Huachun dismounted. Sharpened his throat and said, "Your Majesty!" "All the ministers knelt down together. When Chen Xie hesitated and was about to kneel, Cao Huachun immediately spoke: "Let's all stand and listen." By this time, the minister had already knelt down. Only Chen Xie and Yang Tinglin were still standing, this scene was really a bit embarrassing, and the ministers who had already knelt down were embarrassed.

"Chen Sihua returned from overseas, he didn't know the etiquette, if he exceeded the system, I would not blame. He deserves it too! After Cao Huachun finished speaking, Chen Xie pouted, and really knelt down, with tears in his eyes, and his voice was hoarse: "The minister bows to thank Your Majesty for the grace of knowing the encounter, and the amount of magnanimity." Although the minister is reckless, he does not dare to act rashly. ”

These words looked like thanking Zhu Youzhen, but in fact, these ministers were counted. Who made such a battle? Everyone knows in their hearts that this matter is not over.

The honor guards who greeted him were all withdrawn in the end, and Chen Xie was resolute, and if he insisted on doing this, he was afraid that he would die immediately. After a simple meeting ceremony, Chen Xie returned to the city surrounded by hundreds of officials, and there was no chance to talk to Yang Tinglin along the way. When he entered the city, Cao Huachun said: "Your Majesty has passed on Chen Sihua to see you, and the hundred officials are scattered." ”

Entering the palace again, this time it was a threesome. Cao Huachun led the way in front, and Yang Tinglin accompanied Chen Xie to ride a horse and walk slowly, and said in a low voice as he walked: "Today's matter, I know that it is too late, immediately ask to see Your Majesty, please come to the Holy Decree." Unexpectedly, Sihua was cautious, but Lin was worried. ”

Chen Xie said lightly: "The temple is dark, it has been like this since ancient times. In order to bring down the opponent, it is normal to do everything. I'm not their opponent, and they don't deserve to be my opponent. ”

Yang Tinglin sneered: "Wait and see, someone will come out tomorrow to carry the black cauldron, thinking that this will be able to fool the past." ”

Cao Huachun was very considerate, when he arrived at the gate of the palace. Let Wu Zhi accompany him and continue to walk, and go back to face the saint first. Seeing the emperor and talking about the matter, without waiting for Zhu Youzhen to speak, Empress Zhou had already said angrily: "Shameless! Shameless! If Chen Sihua hadn't acted cautiously, he wouldn't have allowed those impeachments to be buried alive tomorrow? Take the courtesy of the vassal king to greet Chen Sihua, what is this for? ”

Zhu Youzhen also kept sneering, and after signaling Cao Huachun to go down, he said to the queen: "I won't spare them." ”

Yang Tinglin walked to the gate of the harem and stopped, arching his hand and smiling: "I can only send it here." Chen Xie smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Anyway, thank you brother for today's matter." Yang Tinglin said: "Yes, you and I are in-laws." ”

Chen Xie ....... Well, the in-laws are the in-laws. Wu Zhi led Chen Xie inside, and when there was no one around, he spoke: "Let's settle down in Sihua, and then go and see you." Chen Xie smiled and nodded in understanding. The two are old friends, and everyone understands this. Looking back at Chen Xie, who is calculating, Wu Zhiyi will give an explanation.

didn't go to see the emperor, but was taken to a side hall by Wu Zhi, and then the thing smiled slightly and said: "Sihua, I'm waiting outside, you go in, and after speaking, our family will take you to see the Long Live Lord." ”

Well, Chen Xie instantly understood, Zhu Youzhen was really anxious.

The courtyard was small, empty, and a young girl stood in the courtyard, her face nervous, her cheeks flushed, and she whispered in a low voice.

"Zhu Yujiao, I have seen Lord Chen, the Supervisor of the Five Towns." Seeing Chen Xie coming in, Princess Zhu Yujiao of Kunxing stepped forward to Wanfu, and her movements were a little tense. Chen Xie wanted to see her, which naturally made her very nervous. I haven't slept well in the past few days, and I think about it a lot, what will he say to himself? How to answer and so on. As a result, there was no answer, and when I really saw him, I could only speak by instinct.

"Princess, call me Sihua, it seems that you all know, since this is the case, I will talk straight to the point. I am willing to marry you, will you marry me? Chen Xie spoke very naturally, and he didn't even pay the number of courtesies, just like a conversation between friends who were very casual. This attitude made Zhu Yujiao feel a little relaxed, and she was not so trembling when she stood there.

"This, an unmarried woman in the world, if she knew that her future husband was you, I am afraid she would be willing." This answer was very simple, and after not being nervous, he spoke sharply, and dared to look up at Chen Xie. At this moment, Chen Xie saw the above very clean eyes. It's like a crystal clear lake, calm and waveless.

People who grew up in the palace can still have such a pair of eyes, Chen Xie feels that he will leave the rest to himself.

"I'll call you by your name. From now on, you're not a princess, and I'm not an overseer. We're friends, very close friends, the kind that can say anything. I'm positioned like this, are you okay? If you have no opinion, sit down and talk. Chen Xie smiled, stepped forward and pointed to the grape trellis in the yard, where the tender green of spring crawled all over the shelf. There is a long stone bench next to the shelf, and a swing shelf three steps away.

Zhu Yujiao walked to the edge of the stone bench, hesitated, and chose a swing shelf three steps away, sitting on it, there was no nervousness in her eyes, only curiosity remained. Chen Xie walked unhurriedly to the stool and sat down, took out a cigarette and lit one, and then smiled: "You know, I came back from overseas, probably because of this, I like the sea." So, if you and I are together in the future, if I go to the sea to drift, will you go with me? ”

Zhu Yujiao did not answer this question immediately, but tilted her head and looked at Chen Xie carefully, while her body swayed slightly on the swing. When her eyes met Chen Xie's eyes, Zhu Yujiao didn't dodge, and after a minute of silence, she withdrew her eyes, showed a smile and said, "Your questions are so weird, you didn't ask a lot of questions I thought." Since I am married to you, I will naturally follow you. Even if you go to the ends of the earth, if you don't give up, I won't leave. ”

The answer is very clear, Chen Xie has no problem. At this time, I realized that I was too formal. Treat this little girl as an adult, and I always feel that the people who grew up in the palace will be more complicated. In fact, even if it is complicated, she is a little girl.

"I see, no problem. I think there should be a little more time, come, I'll push you. Chen Xie didn't wait for her to agree, he already stood up, walked behind him and pushed gently. When the swing swinged, you could see the green tendons on the back of her nervous hands. Very white to the skin, almost transparent visual effect. Well, it seems to be a little skinny.

The swing swinged, and when Chen Xie didn't speak, the girl on the swing kept biting her lip and laughing. It's a wonderful feeling, and he has an intimate temperament that seems to make people's hearts unguarded. Will this man be a colt in the future? It's not like ah, it's like an older brother. Time flowed silently, and the girl's face was always smiling. Every time I secretly turned around, I could see the attentive look on his face and the gentleness on his face when he smiled.

Half an hour later, Chen Xie stopped, held the swing and said, "I should go, His Majesty should be waiting for me." Remember, between us, first and foremost, friends, then other relationships. So, what you want me to be like in your heart, you must sue me. ”

"You look very good now, and you have the favor of the king, what more can you ask for? People can't be greedy, God will blame. The voice was very thin and soft answers. Chen Xie breathed a sigh of relief, the last moment was Chen Xie's most secret question.

Chen Xie left, the tall back disappeared around the corner, Zhu Yujiao's face flushed slightly, and her eyes were reluctant to leave. A palace maid came out of the room behind her and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess." The little princess's face turned even redder, and she bowed her head and said, "I was so nervous just now, I don't know why, but when I speak, I'm not nervous." (To be continued......)
