Chapter 42: Displacement (4)

Chen Yifan is afraid of things, he has been an official in the DPRK for ten years, and he has always been trembling, never daring to have any objections to political affairs, and he is only a mediocre person. Now that this matter happened, he didn't dare to make his own decisions, but hoped that those homeless people would disperse as soon as possible, so as not to regenerate right and wrong.

When the prince heard this, his heart tightened, thinking of the secret letter he received last night, and he couldn't help but glance at King Qin beside him, and after facing King Qin's cold eyes, he felt a little inexplicably panicked in his heart.

In order to hide his emotions, he had to deliberately brush his sleeves and cover his nose and cough lightly, and then instructed Chen Yifan: "Even if you send guards, how can you still be besieged?" If your four-city guards are not enough, this prince will allocate a thousand forest guards from the palace and order you to expel those homeless people within three days! If there is still one person wandering at the South Gate after three days, you Yunyang Mansion Yin don't have to do it anymore! ”

When he finished speaking, he turned his back to the people, but his anger did not dissipate for a long time.

Chen Yifan was already so frightened that his legs were weak at this time, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The lower official obeys the order!" The subordinate obeys the order! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry! Rest your anger! ”

"Your Royal Highness, please listen to the old minister!" Jiang Chengze stepped forward and said, the prince heard his voice, so he reluctantly turned around and nodded to signal him to say it was okay, but King Qin still looked indifferent and looked at him coldly.

"According to the old minister's intentions, this matter should not be underestimated! The origin of these displaced people is unknown, and if they are expelled by force, I am afraid it will backfire! ”

Prime Minister Jiang's words were exactly what King Qin wanted, seeing that the corners of his eyes were lightly raised, he looked at the prime minister with a smile, and asked, "I don't know what the prime minister's plan is?" ”

Jiang Chengze bowed his hand and said: "You can first order Lord Chen to open a warehouse for relief, pretend to guide you, and then order someone to secretly investigate the origin of these people!" If it is true that the victims of the disaster have been displaced here, the imperial court should treat them kindly. But if it is those villains who have different intentions, they just take this opportunity to follow the vine and catch them all! ”

"Good! Good! That's a great way! According to the king, according to the prime minister's words! Xuanyuan Che's sword eyebrows were high, and he clapped his hands, and everyone present was relieved when he saw this, but the prince on the throne shook his head slightly, and he didn't seem to appreciate what the prime minister said.

Xuanyuan Che saw that his face was not good, so he bowed slightly: "Could it be that the imperial brother has a better solution?" ”

"This ...... That's it! Such a trivial matter, just wait! This prince is tired, go first! The fourth brother and all the adults can take care of themselves! Prince Xuanyuan Lang flicked his wide sleeves, and he had already stepped down from the main seat, and he went in the direction of the East Palace without looking back.

A room full of ministers sighed when they saw the prince leave.

I only heard Xuanyuan Che ask in a deep voice: "Lord Chen, who is the guard of the South Gate?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, the name of the South Gate guard is Shen Can, who is only twenty years old, and can be called a young hero." When Chen Yifan talked about Shen Can, there was a touch of pride on his originally terrified face.

"Oh?! I would like to hear how he can be called a young hero! Xuanyuan Che's phoenix eyes lit up, and he looked at Chen Yifan with some doubts.

I didn't want Chen Yifan to open his mouth yet, but he was robbed of the conversation by the Shangshu Gongyi Mo of the Ministry of War on the side: "Your Highness! What Lord Chen said is true, this Shen Can learned a good martial arts with Master Yongsheng of the White Horse Temple since he was a child, joined the army at the age of thirteen, and followed the hussar general Luo Chengli to Kexixia, which can be called a young hero with both wisdom and bravery. After that, he won Luo Cheng's heart, and at the age of fifteen, he was promoted to his deputy general, but the year before last, he didn't know what he had done, and he was expelled from the army by Luo Cheng in anger, and later became one of the four city guards in Yunyang for some reason. ”

Everyone listened to Gongyimo's mouth, and they all whispered.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu even concluded that he knew the reason why Shen Can was offended by Luo Cheng back then, "I heard that he offended General Luo's pearl in the palm of his hand......"

“……”

"Shen Can?! ......" Jiang Chengze lowered his head and muttered to himself, his thick eyebrows tightened, as if he had something on his mind.

At this moment, King Qin's indifferent voice suddenly sounded, and everyone was shocked and lowered their heads and silenced.

"That's it! Adults don't have to talk about it! All the adults unanimously agree that Shen Can, the guard of the South Gate, is a young hero, and the siege of the city happened at the South Gate again, so Shen Can is responsible for investigating this matter thoroughly! Xuanyuan Che said and glanced at Prime Minister Jiang with deep meaning, and said, "Prime Minister!" But what is the objection to Shen Can? ”

Jiang Chengze woke up from his memories, hurriedly leaned over to salute, and replied: "The old minister doesn't dare!" Everything is in accordance with the will of His Highness! ”

Xuanyuan Che smiled when he heard this, and shouted, "Okay! The herald quickly went to the south gate to pass on the king's oral message, and ordered Shen Can, the guard of the south gate, to thoroughly investigate the siege of the displaced people, and be sure to submit the ins and outs of this matter to the Regent Hall within three days! Make no mistake! ”

"Little obedience!" The messenger at the door saluted respectfully, turned around, and hurried to the south gate.

Therefore, when the day was approaching, the ministers of the regency hall dispersed.

When Jiang Chengze returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, if it weren't for Zhuying's reminder, he would have forgotten about Mrs. Xue's birthday. By the time he came to the Rising Garden, it was already nightfall, and the lanterns in the corridor had been lit.

In front of the few jasmine trees in the courtyard, there was a pale pink figure, who was staring at the young shoots at the moment, and didn't notice that someone was approaching behind him.

"Mo'er, is your mother resting?" Jiang Chengze's voice was very low, but it still startled Yumo, and her body was crooked and almost fell, but fortunately, Jiang Chengze reached out to support her.

Jiang Yumo didn't answer, just stood up from his arms stiffly, raised his eyes and glanced at the night sky, the moon was at the beginning, it was slightly cold, like the hearts of their mother and daughter.

Jiang Chengze saw that her face was blank and silent, thinking that he was angry that he failed to keep the appointment and came, but the recent events in the court really made him sad, according to today's regent hall, the king of Qin and the crown prince are competing against each other, and the Southern Chu Kingdom is afraid that it will be troublesome.

Jiang Chengze's father and daughter both looked at the moon and sighed at the moment, each with their own concerns, but after hearing the "squeak" behind them, Mrs. Xue's soft voice was already in her ears: "Mo'er, it's cold outside, accompany your father into the house!" ”

Only then did Yumo notice that the wind was whirring in his ears, and the spring night was cold, although it was not like the cold winter and winter moon, but it also made people tremble.

Although she was angry with her father in her heart, but now that her mother and relatives had spoken, she could only turn around and hold Jiang Chengze's arm and say, "It's windy, Daddy should go into the house!" ”

Jiang Chengze was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Mrs. Xue standing at the door of the room, he came back to his senses, flicked away Yumo's hand, walked up to Mrs. Xue, and said, "Xue'er, I'm sorry!" I'm late! ”

"Husband doesn't have to be like this! It's just a few hours late, so come in and sit! ”
