Chapter 023: Brother Junchen
Chen Gong Qiancheng Palace.
Chen Kuncheng sat on the dragon chair, frowning, holding the imperial seal in his hand and looking left and right.
In front of the hall, the breeze and the bright moon stand on both sides.
Chen Kuncheng: "Qingfeng, Mingyue, you and Chu Xiao have been brothers and sisters with widows since childhood, and they have been born and died together for so many years, and now the widow's wishes have come true and the power is in his hands, so he should be waiting for you to worship the prime minister, but Chu Xiao is cold to the widow's heart, and this matter will ......be discussed later."
The bright moon and the breeze all changed their faces, and they bowed down at the same time.
Mingyue said loudly: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much. My two brothers swore to serve to the death, and they didn't care about fame and fortune. As long as His Majesty is protected and the people of the Chen Dynasty are benefited, this heart is enough. ”
Chen Kuncheng pondered for a moment, got up and walked down the hall, and helped Mingyue and Qingfeng up, "Look at the two of you, how have you become timid and cautious, and you kneel at every turn." In the future, when there are only three of us, there is no need to be polite. ”
Mingyue and Qingfeng got up, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in unison: "Your Majesty Xie......"
"Let's see, why it's here again." Chen Kuncheng patted the shoulders of the two of them, looking approachable, "The three of us brothers take care of each other with all sincerity, share blessings and misfortunes, share life and death, and these rituals are all for outsiders to see." ”
The bright moon and the breeze are grateful, and they each show their loyalty.
Chen Kuncheng was satisfied, returned to the dragon chair and sat down, and sighed, "The widow is fortunate to have the two of you, otherwise, there is not even a trustworthy person in this palace...... Alas, these days, somehow, this heart is not always steady, but it is better to sleep peacefully in the barracks. ”
Mingyue: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, the last general has strengthened the vigilance, and the city gate garrison is full of elite soldiers, Your Majesty can rest easy." ”
Chen Kuncheng smiled bitterly: "The widow also wants to sit back and relax, but this side of the imperial seal, if you don't keep it in your hand for a while, you will suffer from gains and losses...... You say, did Chu Xiao collaborate with the enemy and betray the country? ”
Qingfeng: "Chu Xiao has been shouting grievances, and he has begged us to ask for a face." In the opinion of Wei Chen, Chu Xiao has been loyal and good for generations, and he has no second thoughts about the first emperor and His Majesty, and he may be used by others, so he is negligent for a while......"
"A moment of negligence? Then why is he the only one who was put in prison who was ordered to sleep and was able to cheat to death to save his life? When he was executed, he happened to be rescued by a master? ”
Chen Kuncheng sneered.
The breeze and the bright moon were unable to answer for a while.
Chen Kuncheng: "The banyan tree in the execution ground is nearly ten meters high, and that person comes and goes freely, as if entering a no-man's land, thinking that this person's martial arts are not below you and me." Chu Xiao knows this palace well, if one day, he takes this master to sneak into the palace, wouldn't the widow be in danger? ”
Mingyue: "Our two brothers are always on our feet, and we must do our best to protect them." Your Majesty's peace of mind. ”
Chen Kuncheng's brows twisted into a big pimple, "Well, be careful in everything, be prepared...... Is there any news about Su Yuzhe and the Zhou Dynasty army? ”
Qingfeng and Mingyue glanced at each other.
Mingyue stepped forward and said in a panic: "Back to Your Majesty, the secret agent came to report in the evening that Su Yuzhe had returned to the dynasty and ascended the throne on the way to become emperor." After returning to the court, he resorted to iron-blooded means to wipe out Zhou Yunchen's remnants! ”
Chen Kuncheng was stunned: "What did you say?" Su Yuzhe has returned to the dynasty? ”
Mingyue trembled: "Exactly." ”
Chen Kuncheng took the case: "This is what you call strengthening vigilance? I have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and they have driven straight in, and it is just a matter of bloodbathing the imperial city overnight. At that time, my father was lax and credulous; Our strong generals are stationed outside the fortress, and the imperial city is weakly defended; Zhou Yunchen and Su Yuzhe cooperated with Xu Guifei, Chu Xiao and others, and his father was unable to prevent it, and it was understandable that he encountered unforeseen circumstances. But now that there are tens of thousands of strong soldiers, concentrated in this projectile land, they actually let the tiger return to the mountain, so that Su Yuzhe and his million-strong army can easily triumph......"
Chen Kuncheng was so angry that the green tendons on his forehead jumped, "This is a great shame!" ”
Mingyue: "Your Majesty is angry. There are many strange things about this matter, Weichen has visited for many days, and learned that the Zhou Dynasty army pressed the border before, and there was no long-distance attack all the way to attack the city and plunder the land, but like a divine soldier descending from the sky, suddenly appeared in the imperial city in the middle of the night, invincible. One of the oddities; On the day when His Majesty led his troops back to the court, Su Yuzhe defected to the battle, and only transferred 50,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the city, and the rest of the million troops, our side never knew where to hide. At that time, Su Yuzhe was in power and had a strong army, so he could send troops to fight with His Majesty after killing Zhou Yunchen, but he really kept his promise and shook hands with His Majesty, and missed the opportunity in vain. On the contrary, he refused to discuss the plan with His Majesty, and planned to send the golden cicada out of the shell in the name of the funeral of the ninth princess. The second of this strangeness; A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the lake, swept away the nine princesses and Su Yuzhe, the whereabouts of the nine princesses' bodies are unknown, but Su Yuzhe was able to be safe and sound, and personally led the army to return to the dynasty in triumph without knowing it...... Wei Chen suspects that there is a secret passage hidden under the mountains of my Da Chen! ”
Chen Kuncheng was shocked when he heard this: "What? Hidden in the dark tunnels? Doesn't that mean that my Dachen land is already in Su Yuzhe's bag? He can come when he wants, go when he wants, and he can be unimpeded and reckless? ”
The breeze and the bright moon bow their heads and acquiesce.
Chen Kuncheng was very anxious, staring at the imperial seal in his hand and said hatefully: "Even if the widow has this jade seal imperial power, what is the use?" The internal orders are not clear, and there is no way to defend against the enemy externally, my big Chen Jiangshan has become his Su Yuzhe's back garden! The widow sits on this dragon throne and is not safe, how can he feel at ease? ”
The breeze and the bright moon held their breath and didn't dare to say more.
Chen Kuncheng looked at the nest of the two henchmen, and became more and more annoyed: "It's ridiculous! In the past, we led troops to fight in the south and in the north, killing the enemy bloodily all day long, and making great achievements in nine deaths and a lifetime, how glorious is it? Thinking that Da Chen Guotai and the people are safe, he has no worries, how could he have thought that we are defending his back garden of Da Zhou? Ahh ”
As he spoke, Chen Kuncheng suffocated his chest, his throat was sweet, and he spit out a mouthful of blood, almost turning his back on his back.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty take care of the dragon, take care of the dragon! ”
The breeze and the bright moon were shocking, and they continued to persuade them.
"What's weird, one, two, three? Isn't it clear? Su Yuzhe had long wanted to kill his father and usurp the throne, and it was inconvenient to do it in the Great Zhou, for fear of being charged with rebellion, and it would be difficult to calm the will of the ministers and be unpopular with the people. He took a long-term view and took it step by step. Obviously, he obeyed Zhou Yunchen to expand his territory and seek to obtain the Flying Phoenix Map; Secretly, he sent a large army to dig up my Chen family's country, open up tunnels, and secretly arrange troops......"
The more Chen Kuncheng spoke, the more angry he became, the more angry he became, the more he wanted to say, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "He said that he wanted to cooperate with the widow for a win-win situation, and the two countries have friendly exchanges and exchanges since then. ”
When Chen Kuncheng said this, his chest was uncomfortable, he picked up the teacup on the case and drank two sips in a row, and gasped for a long time before he felt smooth.
