CHAPTER IX
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the official government opened, and the early dynasty began.
In the Taihe Palace, civil and military officials, the left of the text, the right of the military.
The four prime ministers of Daliang, Shangshu left and right, Zhongshu Ling, and Pingzhang Sanpin under the door were all present, and in front of them were the prince Xiao Yunli and the king of Yan, Xiao Yu
The king of Chu had asked Emperor Shunshun Ning to leave Beijing, and the king of Jin and the second prince were idle princes and princes, and the princes never went to court.
Emperor Shunning looked at the civil and military officials who bowed their heads, and at a glance locked on Huang Lin of Dali Temple and the Chengwang of Shuntian Mansion looked at them and said: "Huang Aiqing, I asked you Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and Shuntian Mansion to investigate the assassination of King Yan, and it can be determined that some of the generals of Qingzhou have taken refuge in Nan Chen, and brought the dead to Lingjing to assassinate King Yan. And there were also traitors in Luoyang, so they used Xia Shui arrows to blame the king of Chu. ”
After hearing this, all the officials were shocked.
Huang Lin stood up and said, "Is this serious? ”
"Now it can be determined that Qingzhou and Luoyang already have Da Chen's spies, and I also asked the King of Chu to leave Beijing immediately and go to Luoyang, Yang Shaoqing, you take some of the people of Dali Temple, and go to Luoyang to meet the King of Chu at the end of the early dynasty, and you must find out the spies within a month, as for Zhang Aiqing and Sun Aiqing, you will take some of the people of the Criminal Department and some of the people of the Military Department, and go to Qingzhou with King Yan tomorrow to investigate, and you must find out the spies within a month, and the prince will go with you." Emperor Shunning said
Zhang Wei, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, Sun Hao, the right attendant of the Military Department, and Yang Hesu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, knelt down and said: "The minister is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he will complete His Majesty's will for the sake of Daliang." ”
Emperor Shunning nodded and looked at Zhongshu Ling Yu Min and said, "Yu Lao has something to add to this matter." ”
Yu Min stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is serious, and the trade between Luoyang and Nanchen in Qingzhou should be cut off immediately, and the pre-war deployment should be carried out after the settlement of the spies, and the jurisdiction of other generals should also be investigated, there may be more than these two places."
Shunning looked at the other three prime ministers: "Do the three prime ministers have any objections?" ”
The three prime ministers stood up and said, "The ministers have no objections. ”
"Okay, I'll do it according to what Yu Xiang said, Zhongshu Province ordered to cut off the trade between Luoyang and Nanchen in Qingzhou, and the areas under the jurisdiction of other generals should be carefully investigated, if there is an abnormality reported back to Beijing, the pre-war deployment will be postponed in advance, and it will be cold in the north, and we still have three months."
After Emperor Shunning finished speaking, the hundred officials knelt down: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"Retreat!"
After the next dynasty, Xiao Yu came to Chen's mansion.
Chen Lexin and Xiao Yu discussed in the main hall.
Chen Lexin took a sip of tea: "The prince is going to be dangerous, so that Ai's body is weak, so the minister won't let her go, but I beg the prince to protect the little girl." ”
"Lord Chen, don't worry, there are people from the Military Department and the Criminal Department, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I will definitely be able to protect Miss Chen."
Chen Lexin nodded reassuringly
Xiao Yu said goodbye to Chen Lexin and came to Chen Xinyu's courtyard.
I still saw her back sitting in the courtyard, and Xiao Ming and the two were still talking.
Chen Xinyu was a little depressed: "Daddy looked depressed when he came back from the court, saying that it was dangerous to go to Qingzhou, and he didn't let me go with my mother, I begged him for a while, and he promised to let me follow His Royal Highness King Yan, I must protect my own safety, and my mother can't go." ”
"Miss, sir, I am also worried about the safety of Madame and you by doing this." Xiao Ming said
Chen Xinyu took a bite of osmanthus cake: "I know, with His Royal Highness King Yan by my side, what danger can I have, but Qingzhou is so dangerous; I'm worried about the safety of my two older brothers. ”
Xiao Ming was just about to speak when she saw King Yan behind her.
"Miss, His Royal Highness King Yan."
Chen Xinyu was puzzled: "Ah, King Yan? ”
It's really true when I turn my head
Hurriedly saluted: "The little girl sees His Royal Highness King Yan." ”
Xiao Yu walked over and helped Chen Xinyu up: "I told you that you don't need to be so restrained." ”
Chen Xinyu smiled: "Lord Wang, please take a seat." ”
Xiao Yu sat down and motioned for Chen Xinyu to sit down as well.
Xiao Yu picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite, it was quite fragrant.
After eating, he said: "When your two brothers go to Qingzhou, I will transfer the two of them to me, and this time there is also the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War, and the prince, I will let your two brothers and the people of the Ministry of War protect His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince's safety is the top priority, so you can't be negligent, and you have my people to protect you, you can't walk around at will when you go to Qingzhou, don't go out in the Taishou Mansion if you have nothing to do, I will arrange two secret guards to be by your side, if you encounter any danger, immediately surface your identity, I will rush to rescue you as soon as possible, When the matter is settled, you will go back to Beijing with the prince. ”
Chen Xinyu listened very seriously: "Thank you, Lord Wang, I am not afraid of you by my side at all." ”
Xiao Yu smiled
Chen Xinyu also smiled
"I still have to go back to the palace to arrange things, I can't accompany you, I will come to the Chen Mansion to pick you up early tomorrow morning, and then go to the West City Gate to go to the prince Huihe, and arrange the things you want to bring." Xiao Yu stood up and said.
As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, he thought about it.
That's right
Chen Xinyu was just about to speak
Xiao Yu took the first step: "By the way, let's take you to my palace, I see that you are bored." ”
Chen Xinyu just wanted to say yes: "Ah, the prince is my father, he won't let me go out." ”
Xiao Yu pulled up Chen Xinyu and walked out: "What are you afraid of with me, Xiao Ming and Master Chen will say that I will send Miss Chen back in the evening." ”
Xiao Ming was happy: "Yes." ”
Xiao Yu drove the carriage away.
The two walked on the streets of the Imperial City.
Talented and beautiful.
Walking to Yanwang Mansion, Xiao Yu glanced at Chen Xinyu: "You can go shopping, I'll go to the study to do something." ”
"Ah, yes, good lord, go girl." Chen Xinyu was a little dumbfounded
"Old Qian, take Miss Chen for a casual stroll, and I'll go to the study to do something." After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he walked to the study.
Old Qian was stunned, when did the prince bring the girl to the palace for so many years. Could it be that the iron tree of the prince has bloomed?
Lao Qian turned around and said to Chen Xinyu with a smile and hurriedly, "Miss Chen, please." ”
Chen Xinyu was a little confused: "Ah, yes." ”
After Xiao Yu finished dealing with things, he came out and saw Chen Xinyu in the garden and walked over.
"What's the matter, do you like it?"
Chen Xinyu turned around and said with a smile, "I like it." ”
Xiao Yu also smiled. I'll bring you here often after I like it.
However, Xiao Yu didn't dare to say it, he wasn't sure if he could come back.
At this time, Lao Qian came to report: "The princess and concubine are here." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Su came over: "Yu'er, the girl will leave tomorrow, I'll come to see you..... who is this?" ”
Yu'er didn't lie to me?
Xiao Yu saluted: "Mother, this is Chen Xinyu, the daughter of Lord Chen, the secretary of the ministry." ”
Chen Xinyu saw that it was the concubine Niangniang and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Little girl Xinyu, meet the concubine Niangniang." ”
"Ouch, good girl, get up." Concubine Su blossomed, and hurriedly helped Chen Xinyu up: "In the future, when you see this palace, you don't have to be so formal, just be a family, hahahaha." ”
Chen Xinyu was stunned: "Ah, Concubine Niang, this is not good." ”
Xiao Yu held his forehead and sighed
Concubine Su said happily: "Anyway, you don't have to be so restrained, there are not so many rules here in this palace." ”
Chen Xinyu said yes after listening to the salute
For dinner today, Concubine Su was rarely in the Yanwang Mansion, and she served Chen Xinyu with vegetables at the dinner table and talked to Chen Xinyu again. Anyway, I like this daughter-in-law who hasn't passed through the door very much.
After eating, Concubine Su went back to the palace.
Xiao Yu still didn't use a carriage to send Chen Xinyu home.
"My mother is like that, she likes you very much."
The two talked as they walked
"The concubine is very kind and easy to get along with, hehe."
Xiao Yu smiled, he took her hand, she hated shyness and did not refuse.
In the evening, on the streets of the imperial city, the two held hands and enjoyed happiness and tranquility.
