CHAPTER XXV
Chen Xinyu and Concubine Su had lunch together, walked out of Weiyang Palace and walked outside the palace, at this time a little eunuch came and muttered in front of Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin walked up to Chen Xinyu and smiled and said, "Niangniang, the emperor wants to see you." ”
Chen Xinyu was puzzled, "Your Majesty?"
"Hmm."
Chen Xinyu exhaled and said, "Okay." ”
The two entered the imperial study, Zeng Weishu, the secretary of the military department, and Yu Min, the middle secretary.
"The little girl Chen Xinyu sees the emperor." Chen Xinyu knelt down and saluted.
Emperor Shunning glanced at it, he looked good, and then said with a smile: "Get up." ”
"Your Majesty." Chen Xinyu got up and saw Yu Min and Zeng Weishu also saluting, "I've seen Yu Xiang, Master Zeng." ”
The two returned the salute and said a few polite words to Chen Xinyu, and Emperor Shunning began to talk about business.
Emperor Shunning looked at Chen Xinyu and said, "Su Tian, the head of the Su family, has come to the capital recently, and he wants to meet you."
Chen Xinyu thought about it, it should be Concubine Su's mother's family, right? Otherwise, who will meet me at this time? Well, since it's my maternal great-grandfather, let's go and see it. After thinking about it, he saluted Emperor Shunning, bent down and said, "Yes."
Shun Ning nodded and said, "After you leave the palace, you will go for a trip."
Chen Xinyu bowed and retired.
After Chen Xinyu left, Shunning said solemnly: "Speaking of business, Shandong, just now Yu Xiang also put forward his opinion, peace talks are okay, but the land must not be cut, it's a big deal to delay time with peace talks, let the border army breathe for a few days, there is a tiger prison behind Luoyang, but how can Kaifeng Mansion and Jeju be guarded?"
Zeng Weishu said: "It is better for the emperor to agree to the peace talks first, so that the border army and the Jeju soldiers have time to breathe, and the method of cracking the law allows the old minister to think about it for a day." ”
Shunning frowned when he heard this, took a piece of music and smashed it at Zeng Weishu, "If you say it, you don't say it!" ”
Zeng Weishu hurriedly knelt down and buried his head in the ground, trembling and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, please give the old minister another day."
Emperor Shunning looked at Zeng Weishu who was kneeling and Yu Min who was looking at the sky and rubbed his eyebrows, "Okay, tomorrow morning, I want to hear the way and tell the envoys of Nan Chen that it is okay to negotiate peace, but I will not accept it if I cut so much land at once!" ”
The two said yes, saluted and left.
After the two left, someone jumped out of the shadows, came to Emperor Shunning and knelt down, took out a token and handed it to Emperor Shunning.
Emperor Shunning rubbed the token and said slowly: "This is the real thing."
Chen Xinyu walked out of the palace and walked to Ning Shu, the two got into the carriage, Chen Xinyu shouted to the coachman: "Go to Su Mansion."
The coachman was stumped, "Which Su Mansion did the young lady say?"
"Su Tian, the head of the Su family who just entered Beijing."
"Miss, I don't know where it is?" The coachman scratched his head.
At this time, Ning Shu said: "I know I'm going to catch up."
After saying that, he got out of the carriage, and the coachman stepped aside.
At this time, Chen Xinyu asked again: "How much do you know about the Ning Shu Su family?"
Ning Shu drove the carriage up, "The Su family is a family of Jiangmen, after the death of the first emperor, they left Lingjing, and now they are settled in Fanyang, and they still have five thousand Su family troops in their hands." ”
Chen Xinyu pondered, "Then the Su family came to Beijing this time to hand over the military power?"
Ning Shu didn't speak, and Chen Xinyu didn't speak either. The carriage became quiet.
After a while, several people arrived at Su's house, Chen Xinyu got out of the carriage and came to the door and said politely to the little girl: "Little girl Chen Xinyu, please see the old master of Su."
When the little girl heard this, she said happily: "Wait a minute, Niangniang, I'll go in and report it."
After speaking, he saluted Chen Xinyu and ran in.
After a while, the little guy ran back and said to Chen Xinyu: "Niangniang, please, the master is waiting for you in the main hall."
Chen Xinyu saluted the little maid and followed the little maid inside, Ning Shu and the coachman were waiting outside the house, Chen Xinyu looked at the house, the trees looked good, the flowers and plants were lush but not eye-catching, and the upstairs of the house were also clean, not like no one had lived in it for several years?
The little maid Xu saw Chen Xinyu's thoughts and said with a smile: "This concubine of Sufu will send someone to take care of it twice a month."
Chen Xinyu patted her head when she heard it, yes, why did I forget about it.
Chen Xin came outside and looked at Su Tian standing in the main hall, dressed in black clothes, with a green jade pendant hanging from his waist, and his hair was full of luxury, but his eyes were bright, and his majestic face was full of lines, not angry and arrogant, worthy of being a Jiangmen family.
Chen Xinyu walked in, and Su Tian also saw her, put away her majestic expression and said with a smile: "It's here."
Chen Xinyu also smiled and knelt down and said, "The little girl Chen Xinyu visited the old master of the Su family. ”
Su Tian bent down and smiled and helped Chen Xinyu up, "It's a good life." ”
Chen Xinyu stood up and changed her words: "Maternal great-grandfather." ”
Su Tian smiled even more, "That's right, sit down." ”
"Great-grandfather Xie, you sit first." Chen Xinyu said with a smile.
"Okay." Su Tian sat on it.
Chen Xinyu followed and sat below, and the maid came in and served tea quietly. Then he left.
At this time, Su Tian said: "This time to enter Beijing is to hand over the right to the army, and to look at you, Yu'er is blessed." ”
Sure enough, it was the right to hand over the army, but Chen Xinyu didn't ask too much and just said modestly: "Thank you, great-grandfather, love, meeting the prince is my blessing." ”
"It's all blessings, it's all blessings." Su Tian said with a smile, then took a sip of tea and continued: "My three sons died two four years ago, my eldest son has been frail and sick since he was a child, and he has never been on the battlefield, none of the descendants of the Su family have brought soldiers, these five thousand Su family troops, I have been bringing them for the past few years, and these five thousand soldiers and horses cannot go out of Fanyang at will without the will of the imperial court, so although those juniors of the Su family have not brought soldiers, they all went to join the army and went to the battlefield in Shandong. When Yu'er comes back, you can rest assured that you will get married, and we will be satisfied. ”
Chen Xinyu looked at the lonely expression of his maternal great-grandfather when he said that his two sons died in battle, and then said that I was excited to marry the prince, I don't know what kind of mood my maternal great-grandfather was in when he said this, when will this troubled era between the north and the south end?
Chen Xinyu is also a little lonely now, if it weren't for these soldiers who have come after him, I don't know if my Daliang can still go to this day.
"Great-great-grandfather, you are amazing." All the words Chen Xinyu wanted to say were gathered into these words.
Su Tian sighed and said: "Forget it, I only brought your maternal great-grandmother back to Beijing this time, and you will accompany her later, I will let the maid lead the way, and after dinner, you will go home again, okay?" After speaking, he looked at Chen Xinyu with a smile.
Chen Xinyu also readily agreed, "Everything is arranged by my great-grandfather." ”
The two exchanged a few more words, Chen Xinyu said goodbye, the maid led the way in front, and Chen Xinyu went to Fuyun Pavilion.
