Chapter 112: Stabilize the character
Huangyang Town has a small population and is an insignificant place in the eyes of ordinary people.
However, it is located on the border of Yuzhou, and it is only less than a hundred miles away from the territory of Zhennan Wang.
Therefore, the people of the town did not seem surprised to see two men in bright clothes on tall horses, escorted by sergeants.
just avoided it from afar, and subconsciously made a way for the two.
After talking, Wen Chen learned that it turned out that Lu Youzhi, Wen Yu, had come thousands of miles away from his First Army Division to find relatives for the lord, and it was also the handiwork of Emperor Jingren.
The emperor showed his closeness to his beloved general in front of Wen Yuli, even a few points more than he had been a few days ago, and showed his willingness to dig into the wall many times.
It's just that the old master and servant have known each other for many years, even if Emperor Jingren has an ambiguous attitude, but in Lu Youzhi's words, the prince gave him full trust.
"So Your Highness doesn't have to worry, what others say, Lu doesn't know, but in my case, I won't be stupid enough to chew my tongue in front of the Lord just based on the words of the Holy One." Lu Youzhi said with a smile.
Wen Chen sighed softly and took the initiative to show favor, there must be something he asked.
"Since Mr. Lu has opened the skylight and said something bright, then I will also give Mr. Lu a thorough explanation."
Lu Youzhi's face was straight, "Listen up." ”
Wen Chen's eyes were deep, and he whispered, "But if you want to live in troubled times, not to reach the princes, can Mr. Lu understand what I mean?" ”
Lao Lu deliberately looked for an opportunity to talk to him, just to know his true thoughts, whether he was like someone else, after the transformation of the gentleman leopard, he ushered in the expansion of ambition and delusional idea of fighting for the throne.
Lu Youzhi was stunned, and then nodded slowly.
Wen Chen's character along the way is indeed very different from the news he heard in Qingcheng, he doesn't believe that a family member can write "ask the gentleman can have a few sorrows, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward" Such good sentences, with his own strength to play Qingcheng Taishou around, Wen Chen, in essence, is a gentleman who does not know the general situation.
Coupled with the impression of meeting for the first time in the bathing center, there are only two possibilities for this new prince to do this.
First, show the enemy weakness, like his old son Wen Yuli, let the competitors relax their vigilance, secretly accumulate strength, and finally expose their ambitions.
This situation, Lao Lu is very familiar with it, when Wen Yuli was in Jiaozhou Taoguang and was obedient, he himself was also a participant in the whole plan.
The second possibility is that Wen Chen really doesn't have any big ideals and ambitions, but he knows that the truth that the royal family is as deep as the sea is nothing more than trying to pretend to be stupid and save his life.
However, after hearing Wen Chen's reply, Lu Youzhi sighed at this son's literary brilliance on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was slightly relieved.
It's not that Wen Chen is afraid that he will be able to stir up any storms in the future, it's just that the lord's father and son have been separated for many years, if Wen Chen's bad intentions are discovered, the face of the royal family will not look good after all.
"Your Highness, Lu Mou saw that there was a place to sell pastries, why don't you go and have a look?"
I didn't want Wen Chen to shake his head, "I don't have an appetite, Mr. Lu should accompany me to the porcelain shop." ”
"The road is bumpy, what is His Royal Highness the Prince doing to buy porcelain?" Lu Youzhi was puzzled.
Wen Chen smiled, "The queen mother said that my father likes to collect antiques, and when we meet for the first time, I have to bring a gift, right?" ”
The middle-aged man in the green shirt smiled dumbly, "In this poor and remote place, where can there be precious antiques?" ”
Wen Chen raised his hand and waved the horsewhip, and the horse under his crotch suddenly felt wind under his feet, "Sending fake, can't you stabilize my ignorant villain's personality!" ”
Half an hour later, the two of them each carried a foot-high blue and white porcelain vase out of Huangyang Town, Wen Chen even grabbed two handfuls of loess stones from the side of the road and shook them in front of Han Chuang and other silver-armored soldiers.
When he arrived in Jingzhou, due to his location in the south, the rain gradually filled and the roads were muddy, so Han Chuang had to order to slow down the march, but fortunately, there were no long-eyed mountain bandits along the way to rob.
And Wen Chen became more and more excessive, often taking the two female dependents to laugh and play in the barracks, talking about love, which made the eyes of the silver-armored soldiers red, and their stomachs were full of resentment.
Half a month later, after a tortuous and bumpy journey, the eight thousand silver armor finally arrived at Lincheng, the base camp of King Zhennan in Jingzhou.
From a distance, the black city wall is majestic and majestic, it is three or four zhang high, and the area is more than three or four times larger than that of Qingcheng, and it looks more prosperous, and there is an endless stream of traders entering and leaving the city gate.
Soldiers and horses enter the city.
As a native of Qingcheng, Miss Tan Er was shocked by the scene in front of her, and leaned on the window of the carriage to watch non-stop.
It turns out that the carriages of princes and nobles can also hang bells made of gold!
It turns out that there are three whole streets of the city, which are marketplaces!
And those white people with blond hair and blue eyes, who speak official words in a blunt tone, are they also here to do business?
However, Lingyu was not surprised by this, and just said, "This Lincheng is not much better than the Tianjing City of Dasheng." ”
Wen Chen sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, and at his feet were two blue and white porcelain vases that had been rubbed off by the mud and sand.
Squeak –
The long queue finally stopped at the door of a grand and luxurious mansion.
Although there is a plaque of "Zhennan Wangfu" hanging at the door, it is enough to compare with the imperial palace in Tianjing City in terms of floor area and magnificence, and it is extravagant!
A moment later, a young man wearing military armor and a beard ran out of the gate of the palace, looking at him with thick eyebrows and big eyes, honest and honest.
"The child welcomes the return of the mother!"
"Wen Yue has seen the military division!"
Concubine Chen took her son's arm and introduced with a smile, "Chen'er, this is your second brother Wen Yue, call someone quickly." ”
Wen Chen let out a weak sigh, and clasped his fists perfunctorily, "I'm Wen Chen, I've seen my brother." ”
Wen Yue playfully glanced at the slightly thin young man in front of him, and secretly sneered, but he was still enthusiastic on the surface.
"Good brother, come into the mansion and rest, the second brother will send someone to the military camp to inform his father and eldest brother, and set up a banquet in the evening to catch the wind and wash the dust for you!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly beckoned the people in the house to help carry the few pieces of luggage.
When everyone entered the mansion, Wen Yue quietly stopped the middle-aged man in the green shirt, and asked in his ear, "Military advisor, my third brother...... How is it? ”
Lu Youzhi glanced at him lightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and slowly spit out two words, "General." ”
"How general?"
"Extraordinary."
Wen Yue scratched his head, the military advisor's words have always been meaningful, he is a general, he usually can't understand what he is saying, but the word "general" can still be understood.
Entering the palace, Wen Chen and the four were divided into two groups, Concubine Chen took two prospective daughters-in-law to bathe and change clothes, and the new prince who was carrying two broken vases was taken to the study of King Zhennan by a little eunuch.
"Your Highness will rest for a while, and Your Highness will come soon."
Wen Chen sat on the chair and pounded his legs when he entered the door, crying bitterly, "When will the meal start, the palace is hungry!" ”
The little eunuch smiled awkwardly, said nothing, and quickly retreated.
Wen Chen stopped what he was doing and began to look at the furnishings in the study.
The desk is full of folds, and when I open them gently, they are basically the folds of the work reports of officials from all over the three southeastern states, and each book has the handwriting left by King Zhennan with a red pen.
"Hey! The old man's writing of the dragon and phoenix dance is a bit level! ”
Walking inside, it is the bedroom of the king of Zhennan who rests and recreations after ordinary government affairs, and as soon as he enters the door, he sees a golden domineering gold armor hanging on the wall, which is very eye-catching.
Wen Chen couldn't help but stepped forward and touched it, from the helmet to the boots, every piece of armor is made of gold, heavy, it's not practical, I don't know, but it's definitely expensive!
"Does the third brother like this golden armor? My father specially called you to give it to you. ”
Suddenly there was a hearty laugh behind him.
