When the news of the victory at the border pass came to Kyoto, the civil and military officials did not show any joy.

The eldest prince, who was sitting next to the dragon chair, also frowned.

Regarding the folk rumors, he naturally did not know about them, which made him disgusted and afraid of Chi Chenlian in his heart.

If Chi Chenlian really comes back, I'm afraid that those groundless words now may really become true!

He finally sat in this position, and he never wanted to be a puppet.

And the same is true of civil and military officials.

There used to be two prime ministers who pressed Chi Chenlian, and now the two prime ministers have died one after another, and Chi Chenlian still has the terrifying Shen'an Division in his hands.

In this case, the people had to be afraid of him.

So, it was obvious that it was a victory, or that kind of big victory, but the civil and military officials were not happy at all.

"Great Prince, in this case, we must reward General Li in a big way! General Li is like a god in his soldiers, so he will have such a big victory. ”

An official said this below, which made the eldest prince's eyes light up.

"That's right, General Li won the battle for my Da Liang this time, even my father will reward him lavishly!"

Yes!

Chi Chenlian has the Shen'an Division in his hands, as long as he supports Li Zeran, who has military power in his hands.

Both of them are feared, but they are able to check and balance each other.

The eldest prince remembered what his father had pitted his maternal grandfather and the empress's maternal family against each other over the years, and thoroughly understood the checks and balances that the emperor needed to master.

His gaze fell on the second prince who was submissive, and said, "What do you think of the second emperor's brother?" ”

When the second prince heard the eldest prince call his name, his body trembled, and he whispered: "Brother Great Emperor, although General Li has made great contributions to the victory, the teacher also has merit, and in addition, the soldiers have also made great contributions. The eldest brother of the emperor cannot forget them when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds. ”

The eldest prince's face sank, he just asked the second prince casually, and he also wanted to show off, but he didn't expect the second prince to not understand his face and really answer his question.

He was unhappy in his heart, and his face was revealed, but when he spoke, he still said: "What the second emperor brother said is that this matter will be handed over to the two adults of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials." ”

"Yes!" The two adults stood up and received their will.

By the time Chenlian returned to Beijing in late winter and early spring of the following year, the people who should have appeared on both sides of the street to welcome them back were nowhere to be seen.

Li Zeran knew the rumors in Beijing, and the old man looked at Chen Lian cautiously: "My lord, are you okay?" ”

To be honest, although Li Zeran also felt that Chen Lian was not a good person, he was the biggest hero to be able to defeat Hu Guo this time.

The people have gone too far for him to do this.

Who knows, Chen Lian was very calm, he didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction, coughed lightly, and said to Li Zeran: "You have to appease the emotions of the soldiers, the official is tired, so he won't enter the palace, you enter the palace and talk to the eldest prince." ”

Li Zeran nodded yes.

When he returned to the mansion, Chen Lian asked people to declare the imperial doctor.

The original body has been poisoned by the cold poison for many years, and he has been staying at the border this winter, and he can't take care of it as in previous years, but he really hurt this body again.

The imperial doctor came tremblingly, and after prescribing her a few bitter pills to nourish her body, she fled and left.

"Tsk."

He couldn't hold back at all, and snorted softly.

How to say it, the pen of the literati is sometimes really powerful, no, his already bad reputation has now added a lot of stigma.

Chen Lian closed his eyes, lay on the bed and pretended to sleep, thinking in his heart how this crime could not be borne in vain.

Chen Lian returned to Beijing for half a month, stayed in the mansion and did not go to court.

However, many court officials, whether they were trying to save face or being real, came to his mansion to go through a process.

The great prince who is now in charge of the country is no exception.

For half a month, Chen Lian has stayed in the mansion honestly, and everyone who saw him was surprised by the fragility of his body.

It really felt like someone who was going to die at any moment.

They were happy and apprehensive, but they were more and more careful about his attitude, but they were happy to spread the news that Chi Chen's life was not long enough.

When Chu Yun was brought to Chi Mansion, his mood was very complicated.

Now there are rumors among the people that Chi Chenlian was seriously injured on the battlefield this time, and his life was not long in coming.

When he first came, there were quite a few people on the street, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

Even Huang Ju was smiling recently, and when he asked him, he only said that his wife was pregnant, but those close to him knew that he was also happy that Chi Chenlian was about to die.

He couldn't tell why he was in a complicated mood, instead of being happy like the rest of the people.

For the officials and people of Daliang, Chi Chenlian, who mastered the Shen'an Division, was a veritable god of killing.

Such a person is like a knife hanging over everyone's head.

They can't break this knife, so they can only wait for it to decay on its own.

But is that really the case?

Chu Yun thought about the manpower and silver that had never been lacking in repairing the river in the past six months, and his compensation for the people who died in accidents, he felt that Chi Chenlian might not be what others thought.

Every time he had this thought, he felt guilty again.

He has not suffered much in the past six months, but the rest of his family can only live the life of ordinary people.

He pursed his lips, and when he was brought into Chi Fu's study, his face became much colder.

"It's coming."

As soon as he entered, he smelled a bitter smell of medicine, sighed in his heart, and raised his head to look at Chi Chenlian behind the bookcase.

He seemed to be a little more slender, and he sat there, the wind blowing through the open window beside him ruffling his hair.

Crow hair like ink, red lips like cherry blossoms, the contrast of the two colors, produced a strong visual impact, occasionally the hair drooped, the tears in the corners of the eyes were as red as blood, making his whole person as if the demon king was coming to the world.

He lowered his eyes, "Grass people Chu Yun, I've seen King Yuanxuan!" ”

Chen Lian listened to the title he chose, his eyes flashed slightly, "Get up." ”

Speaking of which, the eldest prince didn't like him in his heart, but he had to reward his expression lavishly, which was really funny.

The eldest prince said that he would make him a king with a different surname, and even came to the palace in person to ask him what kind of title he needed.

He didn't even think about it, so he used the word "Yuan Xuan".

Thinking of the sudden change in the expressions of the eldest prince and the courtiers who came with him at that time, he couldn't help but laugh, but he quickly stopped.

The words Yuan and Xuan are not something that can be used casually.

He used the word "two words" together, thinking that everyone was wary of his ambitions.

I have to say that seeing that they hate and fear him, and they look like they can't do him, Chen Lian's unhappy mood because of the bitter medicine is also soothed.

"How's the canal progressing?"
