Step by Step Chapter 100 Strange State Capital
Chen Xuan's eyebrows tightened, and he sat there without saying a word.
"What's wrong?" found Chen Xuan's difference, and he was inexplicably a little worried when he looked like that.
"It's all right, Your Highness." Chen Xuan immediately adjusted his expression.
"Although my uncle disagrees with my father's political opinions, he is brave and loyal, and you go to him, if nothing else, he can't avoid it just because of your identity."
"What about you?" Zhao Qi asked a little worriedly.
"It's okay, you guys go talk first, I'll just meet with the elders." Chen Xuan saw the worry of the five princes, not so much to ask Chen Xuan to help introduce him, in fact, the five princes were still a little worried about doing bad things with good intentions. Now it's okay, Chen Xuan himself proposed to meet with the elders, and it doesn't matter if he meets before or after.
"The official name of Chen Zhou Mansion in this area is very good, you two don't have to worry." Yi Zhinan patted Zhaoqi on the shoulder.
When life and death are at stake, there is new hope because of the good official name, and I hope that this last straw can pull me into the quagmire.
Through the curtain of the door, there are occasional crowds of people passing by on the way of the carriage, or chatting and laughing happily, or you chasing after me in a hurry. The sound of hooves came and went on the bluestone path, as if playing a cheerful song to welcome the soldiers.
"Your Highness, this is it." Yi Zhinan gave a hand, but Zhaoqi did not stretch out his hand.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door, the door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man with kind eyes appeared in the crack of the door, and asked in a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant,
"Who are you looking for?"
Yi Zhinan turned his head to look at Zhao Qi, and then said solemnly,
"This is Li Gongzi from the capital, who wants to visit Chenzhou Mansion."
The man looked Yi Zhinan up and down, squinted at Zhao Qi and the carriage in the distance, and was stunned to come back to his senses, and then closed the door heavily and went in to report,
"Please wait here."
Zhaoqi looked at the state capital up and down, and after the founding of the Dahua Dynasty, the establishment of its state capital was based on the appearance of the previous dynasty. In front of the door, two unicorns stepped on lotus flowers to show their identity. Looking at the wall of this gate, it is high and thick, much better than the capital, is it the barbarians of Xiliang?
Before Zhao Qi could figure out this problem, the door slowly opened again, and it was still the middle-aged man.
"My lord said, even if it is Li Gongzi from the capital, he should go to the government to find him, and ask the son to go to the government tomorrow and wait." After that, before Yi Zhinan's reply, the door was about to close.
But before he could close the door tightly, it was held back by a strong hand.
"I'm Chen Xuan, the second son of Chen, please see my uncle."
The man, as if he knew something, looked at him carefully, bowed halfway, and then turned back.
"It seems that this Chenzhou Mansion is indeed a good official who is upright and unashamed." The fifth prince was not stunned by the rejection just now, but he said it quite appreciatively.
"But even this upright and good official refuses to see you at home." Yi Zhinan quipped.
"You're saying he's going to be able to help me." The fifth prince did not answer the question, but said firmly.
It's just that Chen Xuan is still standing there without saying a word, he knows how much his uncle hates his mother, so he is not sure whether his uncle will see him, he actually has no bottom in his psychology.
The door slowly opened again, and it was not only the middle-aged man who welcomed them in, but also an old man with a long beard, who seemed to be a member of the house.
"Hello uncle." Chen Xuan recognized at a glance that this person was none other than the elders of the clan who had followed the second uncle for many years, but the official position was not obvious, and he had seen them in the mansion.
"It seems that Childe still remembers old decay." Because of Chen Xuan's call, this person was obviously in a good mood.
"This is the old Mr. Chen Yiru in my clan." Chen Xuan hurriedly introduced to the two.
"Chenzhou Mansion is busy, so the old decrepit ancestors will greet the three of them, please." Seeing that the others were already white-bearded, his voice was not loud but powerful.
The two of them have met.
Chen Xuan stepped forward, and the door opened by Chen Xuan in Chenzhou Mansion obviously did not intend to deal with political affairs in the mansion, so the five princes were also very knowledgeable and stood behind Chen Xuan.
Through the corner door, walk the corridor, the layout of the courtyard is quite simple, the first two pine and cypress trees in the courtyard appear particularly lush, so lush that people feel a little abrupt.
Entering the main hall from the left, the four people followed the ceremony of the guest of honor to the left, Zhaoqi ranked first on the left, and then Chen Xuan, and then Yi Zhinan. The old gentleman walked straight to the first person on the right and sat down.
Looking at this situation, Chen Zhoufu is planning to meet.
"I haven't seen Mr. for many years, and I know that my body is good when I see Mr. like this." Chen Xuan stepped forward and shushed coldly.
"No one in the West wants to come, because it's bitter cold here. I think it's good here, the people are open, the cattle and sheep are enough, and this mink coat is scarce in the capital. Chen Yiru touched his white beard and said.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, this old Mr. Chen is quite kind, it shouldn't be difficult to speak when he is the governor of the state mansion.
There were already a few handmaidens dressed in caramel color with crescent belts entering lightly, either preparing tea or delicate pastries. With a smile on his face, he didn't squeak and said nothing, and he walked away after putting it on, and he couldn't find any fault with the thoughtful courtesy.
"I also think so in the next, I still think the western capital is the best after a trip to the south and the north." Yi Zhinan took a sip of tea and said kindly.
"Who is this?" Chen Yiru touched a large handful of his white beard and said with a suspicious expression.
"This is a friend of mine, Yi Zhinan Yi Gongzi." Chen Xuan got up and introduced, and Yi Zhinan bowed again.
Chen Yiru replied with a half-salute, nodded, and looked at Li Zhaoqi, who was dignified and extravagant on the first seat.
"Presumably this is Li Gongzi from the capital?" Li Yiru asked as if he was a little cautious.
"In the next ......." words have not had time to finish, only to hear the hearty and bold voice come,
"It's really snubbing the five princes, please don't be surprised."
The group got up.
Zhao Qi smiled, looked straight ahead and looked down at Chenzhou Mansion Road,
"The people of the state capital are working for the country and the people, and I am really disturbed." After that, he bowed slightly.
"I can't afford it." Chen Zhoufu rushed over to support him.
Chen Xuan watched silently, it seemed that his uncle's body was still very tough, and it was really good for him to be able to walk like this at his age.
The two exchanged politeness, and the Chenzhou Mansion invited the five princes to the main seat, saying that they had to be courteous to the monarch and ministers. Although the five princes excused themselves several times, they finally sat firmly on the top left.
"I've seen my uncle." Chen Xuan stood up and saluted.
The corners of Chen Zhoufu's mouth moved and he didn't speak, just waved his hand, and Chen Xuan sat down with interest. Looking at Chen Zhoufu's enthusiasm for the five princes just now, and then looking at Chen Xuan, Yi Zhinan also laughed silently, people who don't know the inside story must think that Chen Zhoufu doesn't like Chen Xuan. But just now, it was obviously because of Chen Xuan's name that he found this door.
The fifth prince looked towards Chenzhou Mansion.
The old Mr. Chen waved his hand, and the person at the door immediately walked out, and he stepped forward and said,
"I'll go to the study and wait for the state capital."
"No, you can come along." Chen Zhoufu looked ahead, slowly got up and saluted respectfully to the five princes,
"I really had no choice but to make this decision just now, and I hope the five princes won't be surprised."
The fifth prince was silent and looked at him quietly.
"Just now, the next person came to report that Li Gongzi from the capital was coming, and I was discussing in the study at the time, although they were all staff members in the house, but it was difficult to keep one or two people who were not strict in their mouths, so they didn't let the next person invite you in."
Yi Zhinan almost wanted to laugh, "Please come in" This Chen Zhou Mansion is really good at using words.
I don't know if this Chenzhou Mansion has the bloody nature of the year.
"The state capital is thoughtful, but I am reckless." The fifth prince got up and helped him up.
"It's just that I don't know what His Highness has done this time, and General Liu should be responsible for reading the emperor's secret letter."
Sure enough, the father gave the Chenzhou Mansion a secret letter, which means that the father may not trust this General Liu, and maybe he can still be saved.
Thinking of this, he was a little heartbroken, and curtsied,
"Please Chenzhou Mansion save me!"
Chen Xuan and Yi Zhinan also knelt down with a thud.
"Your Highness, you are the fifth prince today, who dares to harm you? Why do you say so much to save you? "It's rare for Chen Zhoufu to pretend to be confused.
The fifth prince turned his face away and did not speak.
"Chenzhou Mansion, the people in the Xia Substitute Hall, escorted the five princes all the way from the capital to the Western Capital, and we have experienced several robberies and assassinations of the dead soldiers along the way, but fortunately, we all came, and the five princes are fine."
After saying that, he took a deep breath and said,
"But just yesterday, after we waited for General Liu for three days, he came to see us late at night, and without saying a word, he sent the five princes to the south of the city to hide."
"Why be invisible?" Chen Zhoufu didn't quite understand.
"General Liu said that it was the emperor's intention, and we also understood that the emperor meant not to reveal the identity of the five princes, so that he could act better. But General Liu, the queen of people, also did not recognize the identity of the five princes. ”
"This is a big rebellion, did he eat the bear's heart and leopard gall?" Chen Zhoufu roared loudly.
The whole hall, oh no, there was no sound in the whole courtyard.
Needle drops can be heard.
Chen Xuan felt that something was wrong, and when he looked at the old gentleman and saw that he didn't move, he stood up and said,
"I also ask my uncle to administer justice for the five princes."
Chen Zhoufu turned his head and looked at Chen Xuan and didn't say much, but glanced at Chen Yiru.
Chen Yiru opened the door in the right corner, there was no one in the courtyard, he opened the curtain and said,
"Let's go."
Chen Zhoufu strode out.
Then a few people came out.
Just showed up and walked through the corridor, and the others turned around the room, and strangely, there was not a single subordinate on the way.
That is to say, when they came to the main hall, some people saw them, and they did not meet a single person from the main hall to the study.
The only people who knew that they had entered the study were Chen Zhoufu and Mr. Chen, who led the way in front.
