Chapter 222: Chance Encounter, Avoid Death

Time passed in a flash, and it was already two hours later in a hurry, Jia Chen put on the court clothes with the help of Cailuan and Xiangling, wiped the darkness and went out.

At this time, there are already people on the streets, sparse, sparse, three, three, two, two, not many, most of them are a family, this hour, probably out to pay New Year's greetings.

This reminded him that in modern times, the taste of the New Year has become more and more faint with the improvement of living conditions, and many young people are at home and do not want to go out.

The Hou Mansion is not too far from the Daming Palace, and after a short time, he came to the palace, the Daming Palace is brightly lit, the nose is slightly fanned, and a faint smell of incense and candles is permeated in the air.

At this time, the Daming Palace was already full of people, and he was relatively late, the civil and military officials were polite to each other, saying auspicious words for the New Year, the scene was so lively, Jia Chen stood still by the place of the hanging flower gate, and watched this scene quietly.

Suddenly, a voice came, making him slightly stunned, his identity is sensitive, except for a few officials who have already known each other before, others should not come to him.

"Champion Hou~ Happy New Year!!"

Not far behind Jia Chen, there were two princes in python robes, who were the previous Chu Ye and Chu Xuan, that is, the third prince and the fifth prince.

Jia Chen turned around and saw these two walking towards him with a smile, Chu Xuan was the same age as Jia Chen, Chu Ye was slightly older but also limited.

"I've seen two highnesses~"

Jia Chen was not rude, and greeted the two of them with a smile.

"I wish the two Highnesses good health and good luck~"

Hearing this, Chu Ye laughed and said to Chu Xuan beside him, "Look, I'll just say that he won't say that auspicious word!! Fifth brother, you're welcome to be a brother with that dragon seal!!"

Chu Xuan on the side looked unhappy, it seemed that the two of them had made a bet, and he seemed to have lost.

"You shouldn't make this bet with the royal brother!"

Hearing Chu Xuan's words, the three princes couldn't help but laugh.

Jia Chen smiled and shook his head, "Dare to ask what the two highnesses are talking about, if so, I would like to hear it!!"

Chu Ye waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just a joke between me and my fifth brother!"

"I would like to hear about it~"

Chu Ye continued: "Just now our brother came over, and he made a bet, I said that when the champion Hou was polite with our brother for a while, would he say a good New Year directly, or say something beautiful!! '

"The fifth brother guessed that it was 'Happy New Year', and I guessed that it was beautiful!"

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth twitched twice, and he complained a little unhappily: "Champion Hou, you said that you are a big old man, even Versace screams wow, isn't it good to be simple?" I have to learn from those words that have lost my teeth······

Looking at the five princes in front of him who did not hide his unhappiness at all, Jia Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, this is in the palace, not in his own house, he can say whatever he wants in the house, when he goes out, it is better to pay attention to a little bit, this is also respect for people.

It's this one, it's really interesting, born in the royal family, and the people who have been cultivated since childhood are all moody and angry, but this one is happy and angry on his face, which is a little different.

However, looking at the other party's age, he sighed softly in his heart, the other party is not very old, and it is understandable.

Compared with the fifth prince, the third prince Chu Ye looks more mature and stable, and he always has a smile like a spring breeze on his face, which makes people look very comfortable.

"Fifth brother, how do you speak?"

After teaching a lesson to the five princes, the third prince apologized to Jia Chen, "I'm sorry, my fifth brother is very straightforward, he will say whatever he thinks, if there is anything inappropriate, please don't mind the champion Hou~"

Jia Chen waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

"Your Royal Highness, your straightforward temperament is quite in line with my temper, if you are free in the future, you might as well come to the house to do it, of course, if you are not afraid of being beaten~"

In the end, Jia Chen also made a joke, and Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows, "What, do you dare to beat His Highness?" '

Jia Chen smiled

shook his head, "There are no good things in the house, only fists and feet are still there, and the distinguished guests are coming, so you have to show sincerity~"

Chu Xuan looked at Jia Chen, and was a little speechless for a moment, it was the first time he had heard that beating people could be so reasonable!

"Forget it then! I'm afraid that the prince's small arms and legs can't even stand your three punches and two kicks!!"

Chu Ye on the side heard the two of them still laughing and not saying anything, but when he looked at Jia Chen, his eyes were slightly different, their status was noble, and few people dared to joke with them, but Jia Chen not only opened it, but also bluntly said that if he wanted to become his guest, he had to pass his fists and feet.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, in the end, he was a person who came out of the battlefield, and the army was always respected by the strong, if he really wanted to get the support of this person, it was estimated that it would not work to blindly Corporal Lixian.

After a few more greetings, Chu Ye spoke again: "When I came to the palace to ask for peace these days, I overheard something, and now I see that Hou Ye is not unhappy, if there is any offense, please forgive me~"

When Jia Chen heard the words of the third prince, he was a little surprised, what could he hear in the palace? Still have to talk to yourself? Suddenly, he frowned, he didn't have anything close to him in the palace, only the eldest sister who had just been recognized.

"I heard that in the past few days, the old lady Zhen has taken care of Concubine Yi's mother, and she will invite her to come over every day to mention her life, and the good relationship is like her own juniors, I am not suitable to say this, but because of this special time, the Zhen family has done that kind of thing, or less involved with those few, when the Hou Ye enters the palace to visit, I still have to share the benefits and disadvantages with her~"

Jia Chen's expression flashed a hint of understanding, and sure enough, this matter is really about the eldest sister he recognized, but I'm afraid that the words of the third prince are still not true! That old lady Zhen is a member of the Zhen family, and she took action to destroy their clan, this one is afraid that she will be unwilling, and even resentful, and I am afraid that asking Yuan Chun to go over is not only to teach her face to face, but to think that it is the most likely thing.

But what is the plan for this third prince to say this here, the matter involves the harem, it shouldn't be something that a prince like him can talk about, right? He is not afraid of evil those science and Taoist officials, or the ladies of the harem, when the pillow wind blows, it is much more powerful than any yin wind. But no matter what the other party is, in the end, he has sold himself a small favor, Jia Chen hugged his fists and thanked: "Thank you Third Highness for this matter, I will definitely tell her when I go to visit my sister again!"

Chu Ye smiled and nodded, and after a few more greetings, he left with the fifth prince Chu Xuan, today's work of these princes is not easy, Emperor Ming Kang will take them to worship the heavens and ancestors, and they are very busy!

Standing in the small courtyard, after watching the two princes leave, Jia Chen thought about Yuanchun, if the old lady really intended to embarrass Yuanchun, he probably wouldn't be very easy to do, listening to Jia Yu's words before, the two worshippers were living in seclusion in Taihe Palace.

If you make a move, it is difficult not to be noticed, and if you are discovered, I am afraid it will be difficult to end, after all, the murder of a concubine of the current dynasty is already on a par with the assassination of the emperor.

After that, I am afraid that there is only one way to go, and once the two worshippers are aware of their identity, I am afraid that they will target themselves, with the situation of one enemy and two, I am not yet fully sure, and this matter may have to be slowed down.

As for what Jia Jing said to himself in Xuanzhenguan, he also felt a little pressure in his heart, because in the end he mentioned two words "Yin Temple", so Jia Chen also concluded that the Chu royal family is afraid that there are still many unknown insiders, once he steps on the wrong step, I am afraid that the ending will not be as good as he thought.

In this way, if you want to break the game, you have to plan carefully.

After standing for a while, Dai Quan walked out and called everyone to go to court.

Today's big court meeting, a group of civil and military officials are very complete, Ming Kangdi first summarized this year's harvest, but after reading it together, a group of civil and military officials have different looks, several of the major things are done by Jia Chen, such as what is to pacify the nine sides, the big break the White Lotus Sect anti-thief, etc., although the other few are not trivial, but compared with these two

Get up, that's a lot of discoloration.

Ming Kangdi looked at the recital prepared by the cabinet, and his eyes were also quite emotional, merit is merit, passing is excessive, the big guy is not blind in his eyes, and his ears are not deaf, the good and the bad can still be distinguished, although Jia Chen is a little rebellious, but the things on the recital are indeed much better than in previous years.

After that, he said that he had said that he had made a mistake, nothing more than the few things that were poked out by Jia Chen, the problem of the rule of the Ming Dynasty, a small person who was entangled with many ministers in the court, this matter Emperor Ming Kangdi has always remembered, and there is the defense problem of the capital.

The two elders of the White Lotus Sect were able to hit the capital with tens of thousands of people, which was an irony for the defense of the capital, in other words, it was a slap in the face of Emperor Ming Kang.

When he said this, Zai Fu Fan Yuanhe took the opportunity to bring up the matter of reorganizing the army in Beijing, and Emperor Ming Kangdi naturally knew what the other party meant, but after knowing the huge cost of the Great Snow Dragoon Army, he had already extinguished this idea, who would raise this army after the reorganization? Himself? Don't be kidding, the palace itself is not enough, if you allocate money from the treasury, it is estimated that the head of the household will curse.

Several other people saw that Ming Kangdi was weird, so they didn't join together, and Jia Chen, who was standing below, was quite strange, what happened to Ming Kangdi today, maybe he definitely didn't expect that Ming Kangdi would give up the idea of co-opting one day because he couldn't afford to support people.

"Jia Chen~~"

"The minister is here~"

"Last year, you pacified the nine sides, retreated the white lotus traitor, swept away the ministers, and the hoe girl did the reform, which was a great achievement, but there were also times, I won't go into details, I now reward you with a gold medal to avoid death, and avoid three deaths, I hope you will make persistent efforts to protect the country and the people~"
