Chen Xuan got out of the carriage, buried his head and went to his own house, with a gloomy face, the little guy on the side saw that his face was not good, and he didn't dare to take a breath of anger, so he just trotted all the way behind him.

Chen Xuan walked to Chen Hui's courtyard in one breath, stood still, only knocked twice at the door, and without waiting for the communication, he lifted the curtain and went in: "Big brother." ”

"What's the panic?" Chen Hui put aside the pen in his hand, raised his head to look at his younger brother, and there seemed to be rebuke in his eyes, "Did you burn your eyebrows?" "This year, the weather is cold, the spring is also late, the begonias have been delayed until April, Chen Hui has an early-blooming begonia flower in the window, he fell on the paper, a thin and thin branch, very windy.

Chen Xuan ignored his eldest brother's reprimand, sat on the other side of the small table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it from the very ungraceful cow: "Your tea is cold." After complaining about this, he spoke again, "Big brother, you are resting today, of course you don't burn your eyebrows, I am still running around the streets to appease this and appease that, and you are also impetuous." ”

He was really unhappy, and looked up and glared at his eldest brother's servant: "Hurry up and change a pot, you can't let your uncle drink herbal tea with me." ”

The little guy hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes." He picked up the teapot and ran away with his neck bent.

Chen Hui bent his index finger and knocked on the table, frowning, "When will you be more stable—what happened?" "I'm in a hurry to get on fire like this.

Chen Xuan drank two sips of herbal tea, and seemed to have extinguished the fire above, and finally lowered his voice and said: "Today, the foreigners from several embassies in the eastern suburbs and alleys jointly wrote to Honglu Temple and said something'First, strongly condemn Hengguo's closure of the four northern ports, which violates the norms of friendly diplomatic relations and harms the interests of our countries; Second, the strict investigation of the sailing order is inappropriate in all kinds of laws and regulations, which are harmful and unprofitable in maritime trade; Third, the tariffs of the nine southern ports are too high, and I hope that His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager of Hengguo will consider it carefully. ’”

The so-called "Dongjiao Alley" is what the people call the "Foreigner Alley", and most of the foreign businessmen who do business in Daheng live in the Dongjiao Alley, and a large part of the reason is that the embassies of several countries are also there, so that they have a sense of security backed by the motherland

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel angry again, and counted with his fingers: "Britain, the United States, Franco, and Tsarist Russia have all been mixed with a kick in it." Oh, and that projectile land in Dongying. That's it, even Goryeo was involved in it, it's been a long time, have you even forgotten who your ancestors are? ”

Goryeo is not as good as the previous ones, Goryeo is a vassal state of Daheng, and the king's crown is dressed in nine chapters, which is the same as Yu Jingning's father. In such a country, do you dare to call the Twelve Sons of Heaven a board?

Hearing this, even Chen Hui's face sank.

Chen Xuan then said angrily: "I know that most of these are the policies of the eunuch party, and a small part of them are stirred up by the old faction, and there are many inappropriateness, but these policies are all set by my Daheng's court, and they are my Daheng's housework, and he needs to wait for the barbarians to come and put his beak?" Managing the children at home, how can outsiders point fingers......"

Without waiting for Chen Xuan's atmosphere to finish, Chen Hui immediately interrupted him and said seriously: "You didn't have a seizure on the spot, right?" ”

"Nope." Chen Xuan shook his head and took a few long breaths, hoping to smooth out the depression in his heart, "Honglu Temple is the façade of Daheng, although this remark is excessive, but it is not to the point of insulting the national character, and there is absolutely no reason to attack on the spot, isn't this a loss of the demeanor of a great country?" If I really scolded my mother at them, I would be in vain as a person in Honglu Temple. Besides, our Lord Siqing can really watch me have a seizure on the spot, he has to break my neck and let Yuan Niang and divorce remarry. ”

That's right, Chen Xuan's immediate boss is his father-in-law, and he can certainly carry him when he carries him, but once something goes wrong, the first unlucky one is always Chen Xuan.

"So what happened in the end?" Chen Hui lost his temper when he heard him lose his temper without a donkey, except for hearing that the foreigners had nothing to do, he didn't come up with any other important points.

"What else can I do?" Chen Xuan rolled his eyes and was deflated, "It's not that I'm talking some high-sounding nonsense, I politely lifted the ball back, as if I had said everything, but in fact, I didn't agree to anything." I'll have to be next to me with a smiley face. "Chen Xuan, the old father-in-law, is the champion of the previous dynasty, an out-and-out Confucian, who speaks politely and in the spring breeze, can turn the spring breeze into rain, convince people with virtue, and never use power to suppress you. Chen Xuan's Taoism is still shallow.

Chen Xuan, who only listened to the shallow way, pushed the gold wire glass mirror on the bridge of his nose and said: "It's because of this that I'm talented." ”

Chen Hui glanced at his younger brother, who was so aggrieved that he could only go home to talk to him, and rubbed his eyebrows: "It's not as good as before, when the sea route was not open before, of course we felt that we were the Heavenly Empire." And now that I have made contact with other countries, I know that everyone thinks that they are the kingdom of the Celestial Empire. It is glorious for all nations to come to the dynasty, but who knows what kind of stomach the people of Fanbang who came to the dynasty have? Although we do still have the demeanor of a great power, ......"

He didn't dare to say the latter words, for fear of killing his head if he said it.

But he faintly felt that Daheng, the "Heavenly Empire", was about to be unable to end. Since Qiu Anren ascended to the throne, the miasma in the court has not stopped, and now the thirteen ports have closed four ports, and the remaining nine ports are also crumbling, which always gives people the illusion that the mountains and rivers are about to fall.

Qiu Anren is a demon eunuch, how did he bring disaster to the country and the people to such a point?

Chen Xuan knew what his brother was going to say, so he could only flatten his mouth.

It's just that Chen Hui's worry was only for a moment, and he immediately patted his younger brother's hand: "If the people of our family are not extremely human, at least they can be regarded as the humerus of the court." My father is in charge of the ministry, and my three brothers-in-law and I are all in the cabinet, and in the future, your father-in-law is afraid that he will also hand over Honglu Temple to you. Now although the prince of Pingshuo is a military general, he is also a young man who knows how to make progress and has some ambitions to level the world, and he is good friends with us, and one day we can sweep away all the traitors and greedy people, and open a peaceful and prosperous world to Daheng. Before that, it was the day of Tao Hui and submersion, don't be arrogant and rash, be sure to advance and retreat in a proper way, don't let that traitor succeed! ”

After being dismissed by his brother, Chen Xuan was a little more angry, and he was just about to open his mouth to drop two sentences of his bookbag to show his determination to serve the country and the people. Who knew that before the words could be spoken, a little guy outside rushed in in a hurry, hurriedly saluted and said: "Uncle, second master, the mother next to the third aunt and grandmother came, saying that the third aunt had an accident!" ”
