Chapter 55: The Great Confucian Chen Yan

The next day, Ji Qingchen came to Chen Yan's mansion to visit this great Confucian.

As for Chen Yan, he had only met him once when he had just arrived in the king, and that was when the ministers of the court and the central government went out of the city to greet him. At that time, it was only because of Chen Yan's prestige in the Great Yan Shilin and Chen Qingzhi's status that he paid more attention to it, and felt that when a person did not continue to uphold the ancestral Yu Wei and the connections of the war battlefield, but abandoned the martial arts and entered the imperial examination and achieved a meritorious career, then this person's courage and insight are enough to make people awe-inspired.

Now that he was going to the house to meet the old man in person, he was a little nervous, not because of timidity or excitement, but because of respect from the bottom of his heart, and respect for the spirit of not conforming to rules and daring to go his own way.

When he arrived at Chen Yan's Shangshu Mansion and received Chen Yan's study through his family, he found that Chen Yan was dressed in civilian clothes in the study, which looked very elegant. The two greeted each other and sat down as the guest of honor, and Chen Yan asked, "Your Highness came to visit the old man this time, is it for the purpose of receiving the envoys of the Three Kingdoms in a few days?" ”

"That's right! I came to worship Chen Lao this time, just to tell Chen Lao that the issue of receiving the missions of the Three Kingdoms is all arranged by the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, and I will not interfere. Ji Qingchen said very politely, and he also called Chen Yan "Old Chen", wanting to deliberately bring the relationship between the two closer.

"This is not necessary, since His Majesty has asked His Royal Highness Nine to assist the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, he has His Majesty's intentions, how can the old man let His Highness stay out of the matter?" Chen Yan waved his hand and said, "However, as the Heavenly Empire, we still have to treat the Three Kingdoms Missions with courtesy this time, so as to show the bearing of Great Yan, and I hope Your Highness can understand this." ”

Chen Yan stared at Ji Qingchen's eyes tightly when he spoke, as if he wanted Ji Qingchen's assurance.

"Thank you for Elder Chen's teachings, this light dust knows the way." Ji Qingchen said very calmly.

For Chen Yan's almost forced conversation, his face was very respectful, and he was not dissatisfied with Chen Yan's contempt for himself. But in his heart, he despised the benevolence and righteousness shown in Chen Yan's words, he had heard many people scold Chen Yan as a corrupt Confucian, saying that Chen Yan only knew the Tao and abided by etiquette and did not know how to be flexible, and now when he heard Chen Yan say this sentence to himself, he really felt that these people were right, Chen Yan was really a little pedantic. Imagine that Lingnan, Xishu and Donghuang came together this time, and the momentum was violent, that is, they wanted to force marriage, and wanted to make peace with Dayan, and Lingnan also sent the copy of the national letter to King's Landing City in advance, just to let the monarchs and ministers of Dayan think clearly about the pros and cons, the meaning of the threat is very great, they want to get more and greater benefits from Dayan. It can be said by Chen Yan that for such robbers, Dayan still treats them with courtesy and slaughters them in vain. What kind of bullshit is this, no wonder my father would ......

No wonder the father would ...... Thinking of this, his body suddenly trembled, and he seemed to understand the real reason why his father had to let him assist the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple! Could it be that the father emperor meant that he wanted to be a little tougher on behalf of Dayan when he received the Three Kingdoms missions in the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple? Think about Chen Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and his uncle Ye Qingchen, two scholars who are just polite and polite, if they really face the ruthlessness of the Lingnan Yi clan and the Western Shu and Eastern Wilderness missions, it seems that they are really at a disadvantage, and they really can't show the strong side of Dayan. With some considerations, and then thinking of a conversation with his father in the imperial study, he suddenly understood the real reason why his father asked him to assist Dali Temple and the Ministry of Rites.

After suddenly realizing what he should do, Ji Qingchen said goodbye to Chen Yan and left Shangshu Mansion.

Out of Chen's mansion, he rode a horse and hurried straight to the Kunshan military camp. When they arrived at the barracks, they summoned Bai Xiangcheng and Li Changzheng to the big tent of the Chinese army, and told Bai Xiangcheng and the other nine people about Emperor Yan's appointment and his own speculation.

After hearing this, the crowd was silent for a moment.

Bai Xiangcheng opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty means to let His Highness show a tough side in his dealings with the Three Kingdoms Missions, so that the Three Kingdoms Missions can see Great Yan's attitude towards their audience. But this is to have the strength to rely on, if His Highness does not have a strong guard by his side, Xiang Cheng is afraid that the Lingnan Yi Clan's mission will provoke His Highness at that time, if His Highness does not have a few guards around him, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with! ”

"Lingnan Yi clan? It's just a bunch of barbarians who bully the soft and fear the hard. Li Changzheng scolded disdainfully, "What are you afraid of!" As long as Brother Jiu takes the Long March with him at that time, and the Lingnan Yi clan dares to say no, I, Li Changzheng, will show them that the soldiers of Dayan are not easy to mess with. ”

"Humph! Is it just a bunch of brutes? With the current cavalry battalion, they can be cleaned up, and there is no need for Brother Jiu to ask for a strong guard with His Majesty. Wang Yin said. He was even more arrogant than Li Changzheng.

"That's right! There are a few of our brothers, and we are the strongest guards around Brother Jiu, the Lingnan Yi clan, afraid of him! Liu Qingqing scolded.

He seems to be named Sven, and his appearance is very feminine, but he is actually a very character.

Immediately, Zuo Zongquan, Hou Xiaotian and others also opened their mouths to shout, expressing their contempt for the Yi people, and did not take the envoys of Lingnan, Western Shu and Eastern Wilderness in their eyes at all.

Because in their eyes, Dayan's biggest enemy at present is the departure from the country that has been established for more than 300 years and the murderous and brutal Beirong. Instead of hiding in the mountains and forests, the Lingnan Yi tribe and the two projectile subject countries of Xishu and Donghuang.

Ji Qingchen in the big tent of the Chinese army listened to the gossip of the nine people and did not stop it, he knew that in the thinking of the nine people, the noble identity of the noble children of the family had been deeply rooted, and it was impossible for them to lower their identities and put the Three Kingdoms and Dayan on the same platform to analyze the problem. He knew that this kind of thinking was unacceptable, but if he wanted to solve this problem, only by defying the law and competing with the three countries could he change their views, so he quietly listened to the discussion of the nine people without saying a word.

After waiting for a moment of discussion among the nine people, they found that His Royal Highness the Nine, who had been silent, knew that he had said too much, so he closed his mouth, and Ji Qingchen said coldly, "There are still nearly ten days before the Three Kingdoms Mission arrives in King's Landing, and this time the Xiaocai Battalion will compete with the second brother's Pingzi Battalion and the fourth brother's trapped camp, and when the time comes, you must strive to improve the combat effectiveness of the Xiaocai Battalion as much as possible regardless of the injuries, that is, after these two battles, the Xiaocai Battalion will be injured by three or four hundred people, and we can also bear it, As long as the combat effectiveness of the cavalry battalion is greatly improved, it must be at such a price. ”

"What does Your Highness mean?" Bai Xiangcheng asked puzzled.

In two competitions, it will reach three or four hundred casualties, and how much confrontation intensity does it take to do it!

"I estimate that after the Three Kingdoms mission arrives in King's Landing, it will cause a lot of trouble and turmoil, and it may be necessary to use the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to solve the problem at that time." Ji Qingchen said, "So the Xiao Cavalry Battalion must have the strength to fight." ”

"No!" Bai Xiangcheng and Li Changzheng received the order.

"Then you can go back and continue training!" Ji Qingchen said.

"No!" Everyone is ordered to leave!

After everyone left, he stayed in the big tent of the Chinese army for a while, and then hurriedly left the Kunshan military camp on horseback.

When I returned to the mansion, I saw Zhang Rang coming in a hurry, and when I saw him, I immediately said, "Your Highness, Jiang Rou suddenly appeared in Jiang Guifang today, but she only stayed in Jiang Guifang for half an hour. It's just that when she left Jiang Kwai Fong, our people followed her on the street, and we didn't find her specific address. ”

"Jiang Rou?" After hearing the news from Zhang Rang's mouth again for more than ten days, Ji Qingchen felt a little strange, so he couldn't help but ask Zhang Rang, "What do you say she is doing as a woman in Jiang Kwai Fong?" ”

Kong Kwai Fong is the largest green building in King's Landing.

"This, the minion doesn't know what to do!" Zhang Rang said embarrassedly.

He is a eunuch, he used to stay in the palace all day, and now he often trains "iron clothes" and a few secret guards with Guo Quan, how can he know what a woman is doing in the Qinglou? However, after a deep sigh, he still replied in a low voice, "Is it related to the Three Kingdoms Mission?" ”

"Yes! Very possibly! Ji Qingchen affirmed, "In more than ten days, the missions of Lingnan, Xishu and Donghuang will arrive in King's Landing, and according to my analysis, there seems to be a connection between these three kingdoms and Beirong, and now there is a Jiang Rou who has left the country, which is in line with the current situation, Liguo, Beirong, Xishu, Donghuang and Lingnan want to ally to deal with Dayan together." ”

"This-" Zhang Rang was stunned by Ji Qingchen's words. He felt that if it was really like what His Highness the Ninth said, the five countries of Liguo, Beirong, Xishu, Donghuang and Lingnan wanted to unite to deal with Dayan together, with the strength of the five countries, as long as they could unite to fight with Dayan, I am afraid that Dayan would be able to sit back and wait to be killed at that time!

"Your Highness, isn't this a bit alarmist?" Zhang Rang pretended to be bold and said.

"It's a bit of a bit. But isn't that possible? Ji Qingchen asked rhetorically, seeing that Zhang Rang was nervous and didn't know how to answer his question, he continued, "You remember, when the Three Kingdoms mission arrives in King's Landing, you must keep an eye on Jiang Rou's every move, and you can't let her escape like this time!" ”

"Minions understand!" Zhang Rang replied.

"Last time, you were asked to select thirty capable people from the six hundred 'iron clothes' who were trained to be responsible for collecting information on all parties in King's Landing, and now I will give them a name, they will be called the Inner Factory, they will all be called the factory guards, and you will be the governor of the Inner Factory." Ji Qingchen said, seeing that Zhang Rang was so excited, he paused, didn't let Zhang Rang thank you, and continued, "Also, Feng Tang you recommended last time, I have read the information of this person, and I think he is a talent who can be used by us, so you will summon him to the inner factory to be an enshriner, and then see his performance!" ”

"Minions command!" Zhang Rang replied loudly.

"By the way, you go to Feng Tang now and let Feng Tang spy on Jiang Rou." Ji Qingchen said.

Zhang Rang agreed, bowed down and exited the study.

Now that Ji Qingchen already knew the real reason why Emperor Yan asked him to assist Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, he spent the rest of his time focusing on the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion competed with the Pingzi Battalion of the Second Prince and the Trap Camp of the Fourth Prince, a total of 80 people were seriously injured in the two battles, and the minor injuries reached 103 people, plus the casualties of the first battle with Ji Qian's forward battalion, nearly 300 people could not participate in the training. However, after these three cruel competitions, the combat effectiveness of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion after the three wars has increased rapidly, as long as those who are familiar with the Xiao Cavalry Battalion will find that the current Xiao Cavalry Battalion will find that this cavalry composed of gentlemen has now initially possessed a Xiao Cavalry Zou shape. And whether it can be called a real horse, now is only a matter of time!
