Chapter 325: Loyalty
The incense of the Bodhi Temple outside Yanjiao City is vigorous, and the two of them go to the Bodhi Temple to pray for blessings.
Eat vegetarian food together, and then go to the plum forest in the temple to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The palm beads of a bright red cloak stand under the plum tree, which is a painting in itself.
When he went back that day, Yuan Zhen laid out the paper and sketched the beautiful scenery in the plum forest during the day on the drawing paper. When he finished painting and let Zhangzhu look at it, Zhangzhu looked very embarrassed: "I didn't expect your painting to be good." ”
"It's not that expressive, but it's a few random strokes."
In Zhangzhu's opinion, such a few casual strokes are an impossible challenge for her.
"Second son, Lord Song is here." Words from under the window interrupted the two people in the room.
Yuan Zhen heard that he was busy and said: "It's all here, and he is in a hurry to come and think about something, so I'll come." Yuan Zhen said to Zhangzhu again: "You wait for me here, and I will come when I go." ”
Zhangzhu nodded in agreement, and after Yuanzhen left, she took out a piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote and drew on the paper, naughty like a child.
Chu Yuanzhen hurried to see Song Jinfei, Song Jinfei didn't see the palm beads, and he was inevitably a little lost in his heart: "Miss Fu, is she okay?" ”
"She's so nice, you don't have to worry about her." Chu Yuanzhen originally had some doubts about the affairs of the two.
"Oh. That's good. Song Jinfei also specially prepared a gift for the palm beads, which he originally wanted to give to her personally, but it seems that he may not be able to give it out today.
"You're definitely going to get married, aren't you? You're sure you'll live a long life, aren't you? You're not going to bully her, are you? ”
Faced with Song Jinfei's strange questions, Chu Yuanzhen replied very seriously: "Of course I will marry her, do you think I am just playing with her?" ”
"I didn't say that." Song Jinfei has always been optimistic about these two people, and it is inevitable that he will be a little concerned and chaotic.
"Alright, let's not mention these useless things. You must have something to tell me when you came in the dark. Have you withdrawn from the front? ”
Song Jinfei nodded and said, "You didn't expect it, the imperial court gave General Zhuo an order to support the east." ”
"Do you want to fight with King Jin?" Yuan Zhen thought that this was still right, and he asked again: "What is General Zhuo's decision?" ”
Song Jinfei said: "General, he ...... He said he would follow you to the death. ”
Chu Yuanzhen smiled: "It turns out that you were sent to show your loyalty to me?" Why didn't he come by himself? ”
"The general is busy with military affairs, and he said that he will come in two days. Then the overseers sent by the imperial court also arrived, and the general couldn't get out of his body for a while. ”
Chu Yuanzhen frowned, he thought for a moment before asking Song Jinfei again: "I can trust him, right?" "Zhuo Qing's family is said to be in the capital, and he has also learned about this situation in advance. He was worried that the imperial court would use the Zhuo family to blackmail Zhuo Qing.
"On the general's side, you can rest assured as much as possible, there will be no mistakes."
"Well, he has his own difficulties, and even if he really wants to lead troops to support, I won't blame him. Zhuo Qing's ability is not as high as Wei Qian's, but it doesn't pose much of a threat. We also have to do a lot of preparation. You are more familiar with the situation in the army than I am, and you must have a plan in the face of those different voices. Yuan Zhen can also see it.
After the first few battles, Song Jinfei has made a lot of contributions, and he has reinstated his original position as the general banner. If Zhuo Qing was really sent away, who would replace him? Yuan Zhen thought of Yin Chengzhi, who led the troops to take the initiative to attack the Jin people this time. This person's combat command ability seems to be somewhat mediocre and relatively conservative, but the important point is that this person is loyal and obedient. Excluding other generals parachuted by the imperial court, Yuan Zhen hopes that this person will be able to succeed Zhuo Qing in the future.
"You have more contact with Yin Chengzhi and behave well in front of him."
Song Jinfei was a little surprised, but he understood that Chu Yuanzhen must have his own intentions when he said this, and he said, "Don't worry, I know how to do it." ”
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Zhuo Qing invited him to eat New Year's wine, and on this day, Yuanzhen and Zhangzhu both boarded the car and went to the South Courtyard. This time, Zhangzhu was invited as a guest, and he was warmly received just one time, and Yuan Zhen said to her when he was separated from her: "You are comfortable to go and play for a day, you don't have to be too restrained." ”
Zhangzhu nodded in agreement. After Chu Yuanzhen and Zhangzhu separated, they went to other courtyards. That Zhuo Qing saw Yuan Zhen coming and hurriedly got up to greet him, although Zhuo Qing was full of smiles at this moment, but the smile on his face did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and he couldn't hide his tiredness.
This time, Zhuo Qing also invited other Yanzhou dignitaries, and everyone knew each other well, so they said New Year's blessings to each other. Zhuo Qing was all entertaining in the morning, and the guests who came in the afternoon said goodbye one after another, and Zhuo Qing got a moment of relaxation. He personally sent off the political envoy, and then hurried to see Chu Yuanzhen, who was waiting for him over there.
Chu Yuanzhen was sitting in Zhuo Qing's study at the moment, he set up a chessboard and played chess with himself, and when he saw Zhuo Qing coming, he hurriedly said, "The general is here to play this game with me." ”
Zhuo Qing was already anxious at the moment, where did he still have the heart to play chess, but he did not refuse Yuan Zhen's invitation.
"That Lu An, you know where he came from, right?"
Yuan Zhen said: "He is a prison sent by the imperial court? ”
"Yes."
Yuan Zhen could feel the struggle in Zhuo Qing's heart at this moment, and he said, "I heard that you have a son who is very good at reading, and he has already won the lift when he just turned seventeen?" ”
Zhuo Qing said: "Huangkou Xiaoer, it's not worth mentioning. ”
"Is he married?"
Zhuo Qing said: "I got married at fifteen, so I am also a member of my grandfather's generation, although I am only ten years older than you." But I feel like I'm out of the way. ”
Yuan Zhen smiled: "If I am also fifteen years old, the children will also be able to ride horses and shoot arrows." General, you've been separated from them for a long time, haven't you? ”
Zhuo Qing nodded and said, "Yes, my son went back when he got married, and I was really happy that day when I was a grandfather or a letter from the family." ”
While speaking, this game of chess has been played, and Zhuo Qing's chess skills are naturally not Yuan Zhen's opponent. He put away the chessboard and sat there with his legs folded, but he looked relaxed and indifferent.
Zhuo Qing also really admired him when he saw him like this, and secretly thought that he had never seen him panic when the big thing came. However, there is an exception for matters related to Miss Fu.
"You are worried about your family, and you can't worry about them, so go back and see them."
Zhuo Qing was stunned when he heard Chu Yuanzhen say this, and said for a while before he said: "Second son, I didn't mean that, I have shown my loyalty to you, I will definitely follow you, and there will definitely be no second heart." ”
"I know your loyalty, but I also know your troubles. They are all raised by their parents, so why don't you worry about your family. You don't have to scruple here, you can do what you have to do, and the general doesn't have to be embarrassed. ”
Zhuo Qing didn't know what to say for a while, he was stunned for a while and said: "That Lu An doesn't care about him, just tie him up and solve it, it won't constitute a disaster." ”
"But your wife and children are all in the capital!" Yuan Zhen pointed out sharply.
