Emperor Jianyuan raised his eyebrows, and faintly, "Oh? He sighed and asked: "Chen Yanqing, you have your back against the big tree of Changping Bofu, and you are a Jinshi with the top two names, why did you sit in the position of the county commander for five years, and your performance was excellent every year, but you were never promoted?" ”

Emperor Jianyuan's tone was majestic and indifferent, but his dark eyes were like a cold pool, but they brought an invisible pressure to people.

Chen Yanqing was in a cold sweat, this is a risky question, how to answer it to meet the emperor's wishes.

Chen Yanqing only hated that he had been away from the center for many years, he was not a person in the heart of the emperor, and he had no connections, and he probably didn't know as much about Emperor Jianyuan as the people in the capital.

Usually, a capable minister like Chen Yanqing has an extremely glorious background, and he is generally evaluated as superior and can be promoted after staying in office for one year; After serving for three years, even if it is a flat transfer, he should not continue to be re-elected in the position of the magistrate of Huaizhou.

Chen Yanqing has not been promoted for many years, so he naturally knows that this is the handiwork of Changping Bofu, and the person who pressed him at the beginning was his biological father; Later his brother-in-law; Later, it was his own nephew.

But these words cannot be said in the presence of the Holy One.

Although the family not only did not bring half of Chen Yanqing's help, but could only hold back, Chen Yanqing did not dare to say a word about Changping Bofu.

Just ask, how can Your Majesty dare to use a courtier who can even care about his own family glory and affection!

What's more, in order to return to the center, Chen Yanqing's reputation for many years cannot be easily ruined.

Thinking about this verse, Chen Yanqing respectfully arched his hand towards Emperor Jianyuan, and replied in a solemn voice: "Back to Your Majesty, the matter of eating the king's fortune and loyalty to the king." Weichen is a county parent official, and being able to do some practical things for the people in office is already His Majesty's great kindness to Weichen. ”

Chen Yanqing's words were impassioned, but Emperor Jianyuan's expression did not fluctuate for half a minute.

For Chen Yanqing's avoidance and refusal to answer, Emperor Jianyuan just lifted his thin lips, the curvature of the corners of his lips was slightly cold, and he said with a smile: "Chen Aiqing understands righteousness and is very relieved. There is still a lack of a parent official in the land of Bashu, according to Chen Aiqing's opinion, who is suitable for me? ”

Chen Yanqing's eyelids trembled.

The appointment and dismissal of officials below the fifth rank can usually be solved by the officials, so why alarm His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty said this, naturally with deep meaning.

Chen Yanqing chewed on Emperor Jianyuan's words several times in his heart, especially the sentence "Qianchang Pingbo" that His Majesty said!

His brother-in-law is the prince's own uncle, the father of the crown princess, and the future abbot, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always respected Changping Bo, his uncle and father-in-law, and even an incompetent person like Chen Ze has been given a position as a subordinate official of the East Palace.

As for himself, he is just the cousin of Princess Xianyong, and he is separated from His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats his uncle even more with face. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed in Huaizhou for more than ten years!

If his brother-in-law was really withdrawn from his title by His Majesty, Chen Yanqing didn't dare to imagine what would be waiting for him!

What he didn't dare to think about was what kind of big mistake his brother-in-law had made, so that His Majesty wouldn't even care about the face of the prince!

Chen Yanqing's heart has been flooded by the tide of fear. His fingers under his forehead trembled.

Chen Yanqing's eyes only dared to look at Emperor Jianyuan's dark hem, and the five-clawed golden dragon embroidered with gold thread on his robe was dignified and powerful, making him once again soberly realize that what is called Tianwei is unpredictable.

Myself...... What to do?

Even in the years when he was begging for a living under his mother-in-law, Chen Yanqing had never been so frightened in his heart.

Your Majesty has this question, if you take the initiative to ask for help, you can only stay in the land of Bashu until you die in this life. But if he refuses, won't it prove that what he just said is a lie?

"Your Majesty, We're a minister, we're a minister......"

Chen Yanqing's voice trembled slightly, his body was sweating like pulp, his lips trembled, and the next sentence "I am willing to share my worries for Your Majesty" seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, so it was blocked in his throat.

Chen Yanqing passed on the high school back then, what a scene! He has countless ambitions in his heart, just waiting to show his strength in the officialdom.

However, after being appointed, the top five on the gold list, except for Chen Yanqing, who was sent to Huaizhou to make a seven-grade county order, the rest of the people all stayed in Beijing.

The champion entered the center and became the housekeeper beside His Majesty; Tanhua was accused of being a concubine, and Princess Jincheng, the prince's sister; Even the same department behind Chen Yanqing, together with Bangyan, was appointed by His Majesty to serve the imperial history.

Time flies, time flies.

Now, Tanhua, who is the same year as him, was implicated in the rebellion case because of Princess Jincheng, the sister of the abolished prince, and the grass on the grave was three feet high. As for the champion and the leader, one official worships too much and is in charge of the party; The other became the second product of the Tobe Shoshu.

And I, after ten years, have achieved nothing!

Chen Yanqing had a deep unwillingness in his heart. What's more, he also has a sister-in-law who has perfectly inherited his reading talent, and he won the Xie Yuan in one fell swoop in the township exam.

Even if Chen Yanqing was willing to accept his fate, he couldn't bear to let his only sister-in-law be buried.

"Your Majesty...... We're guilty, we're guilty! Chen Yanqing thought of his son, but he couldn't hold back, and burst into tears for a while.

Emperor Jianyuan did not take Chen Yanqing's disgrace to heart. He was more interested in Chen Yanqing's tears.

Tears may represent weakness, or they may just be playing, but the fear in a person's heart cannot deceive people.

Chen Yanqing has a weakness, and the weakness represents weakness.

Emperor Jianyuan would not use a perfect courtier, let alone a saint!

He smiled faintly and said slowly, "Oh? What is Chen Aiqing's crime? ”

Chen Yanqing shook it to the end, his body couldn't help but swing, but the tremor in his voice was forced to suppress himself, and he said very calmly: "Your Majesty, Weichen should not deceive Your Majesty." Weichen is ambitious and unwilling to continue to wander in a remote place. We-Chen......"

Unlike Chen Wei, the former Changping Bo who is still handsome and elegant in middle age, Chen Yanqing's sideburns have been added with a few strands of silver, and his forehead and eyes are covered with wind and frost lines, and even the fingers that should be pampered look very rough.

Emperor Jianyuan laughed, it seems that Chen Yanqing has really suffered a lot over the years he has been released.

"Chen Wei made a big mistake and was taken off his knighthood and sent back to his hometown."

A grinding sound of the hem of the robe sounded in Chen Yanqing's ears, and Emperor Jianyuan sat back on the throne.

He straightened out the dark gold lines on his cuffs and continued: "The prince is disrespectful to me, and he is confined to the East Palace by me. ”

Emperor Jianyuan's words, listening to Chen Yanqing's ears, were like a shock, he raised his head blankly, not understanding what His Majesty's words meant.

"As the prince's foreign family, the Chen family's words and deeds should represent the prince's decency. Chen Wei's father and son were ashamed of the emperor's grace, and they didn't want to share the worries of the prince, but bent the law for personal gain, ran rampant and domineering, and relied on the prince's momentum to do misdeeds, and I had to be punished. ”

The sword hanging above his head finally fell, Chen Yanqing's heart beat like a drum, for so many years, he didn't have half the benefit of standing in the Bofu, but he had to be affected by Chen Wei's father and son......

Chen Yanqing's tongue flashed with a trace of bitterness, and he trembled and pleaded: "Your Majesty, Weichen ......"

Emperor Jianyuan raised his hand, his majestic face was cold and handsome, and his cold eyebrows were dyed with a layer of sacred golden light by the candles in the main hall.

He said slowly: "I can't ignore the dignity of the prince; If the prince makes a mistake, he needs his subordinates to persuade him in time......"

Emperor Jianyuan paused, and his majestic voice seemed to be dyed with a bit of mildness: "I summoned you back to Beijing because there is still a lack of a 'family order' in the East Palace, and you are the prince's uncle, and it is perfect for you to take the position." In addition, I would like to crown you as a Grace Bearer, hoping that you will fulfill your duties and be loyal to the king. ”

Chen Yanqing didn't realize that he still had such a creation, and the prince's family order was from the fourth grade. Cheng Enbo is a third-class earl.

His eyes first showed a look of disbelief, and then a huge ecstasy welled up, his head was on the ground, he kowtowed "bang bang", and said with tears: "Wei Chen thanked Your Majesty!" Wechen will definitely be smeared with liver and brain in the future to repay His Majesty's grace! ”

The courtiers listened to their beautiful words about themselves, and Emperor Jianyuan was the emperor, and he listened to them more than a dozen times a day, and his ears were almost calloused.

For Chen Yanqing's heartfelt gratitude, Emperor Jianyuan was even more untouched in his heart. He said lightly: "Chen Aiqing, step aside." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Yanqing's face was excited, his eyes were full of tears, and he had not yet recovered from the "twists and turns" just now. Chen Yanqing tried his best to straighten his face and withdrew from the main hall very respectfully.

Wei Zhao glanced at the empty inner hall, and couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch the crease between his eyebrows. If you do this yourself, I'm afraid that you will offend Mianmian again. I don't know when she will figure out what a king is! What a grace!

……

After leaving the palace, Princess Fuqing cried all the way back to the princess's mansion.

When Chu Yan heard the palace maid coming, Princess Fuqing had already returned to the main room.

Chu Yan was so anxious that he ran all the way back to the main courtyard, and as soon as he entered the inner room, Princess Fuqing pounced on him with tears on her face: "Cousin." ......" The sweet and pleasant voice revealed a slight hoarseness, as if it contained endless grievances.

His wife has always been strong, but now crying like this, Chu Yan is distressed and worried.

Chu Yan stretched out his long arms and hugged Princess Fuqing into his arms, as if he had coaxed a pair of children in the past, gently patted Princess Fuqing's back, and said softly: "Why are you crying like this, be careful of your face." ”

"Cousin! I hate ...... so much" The soft words of the person next to the pillow comforted her, not only did not let Princess Fuqing collect her tears, but cried even more fiercely.

"Wan'er, what's going on?" Chu Yan's voice was softer, although he knew in his heart that there was only one person in the world who could make his wife so wronged.

"Father, father, let me be cautious in my words and deeds, and don't do superfluous things......" Princess Fuqing's nose was red from crying, and she sobbed and choked: "Father also said that I don't understand the rules, ignoring the royal face, and let me think about my own ......"

Princess Fuqing didn't listen to heavy words. But at this very sensitive time, once the father's punishment comes down, I am afraid that the capital will immediately spread the rumor, and by her diverting attention, the prince's grounding does not seem to be serious.

Not to mention...... Princess Fuqing also holds the authority in the palace.

Princess Fuqing is a married daughter, even if she is the eldest daughter of Emperor Jianyuan, the matter of taking charge of the palace is still incorrect and unreasonable.

The reason why Princess Fuqing was able to firmly control the palace power in her hands was not only because of her own scheming and skill, but also because of the emperor's favor for her.

Princess Fuqing knew that once she was reprimanded by her father, those who praised the high and stepped on the low would be afraid that they would immediately find another high branch.

Even if her father does not take back her palace power, she will lose the hearts of the people in the palace.

At that time, what is the difference between her and Chen Rong, who was completely elevated by the eunuch and the palace maid in charge of the East Palace!
