Chapter 261: Candidates for Envoys

Yang Changye fainted from vomiting blood in anger, and the Yang father and son were finally carried out of the Golden Palace by the joint efforts of the eunuchs, and this impeachment against Xu Boyan ended here.

In the final analysis, Emperor Yongxing did not dare to provoke Xu Boyan again.

Afraid that Xu Boyan would lead the troops to rebel, he could only temporarily grieve the Yang family.

……

"Don't say anything else in advance, Emperor Chu has already sent a letter and agreed to marry the eldest princess of Chu State, and we will send Chu Yan back, and the two sides have reached an intention." Emperor Yongxing returned to the dragon chair as he spoke, and after sitting down, he glanced at the ministers below, "Everything else is easy to say, it's just the envoy candidate who escorted Chu Yan back, and there is no specific location yet, so let's take advantage of today's discussion to see who is appropriate?" ”

The prerequisite for the eldest princess of Chu to marry is that Daji has to send back the six princes who are loved by Emperor Chu.

And in the past few days, the imperial court has been talking about this matter endlessly.

Going to Chu is a chore, not to mention the long distance, if something goes wrong on the road, then the responsibility will be great, and not only to send people back, but also to bring the eldest princess of Chu back from Jinling, it is really not good to have no ability.

"Back to Your Majesty, I think that the ranger general Murong Chong in the battle of Yunzhou has outstanding achievements, is young and promising, bold and careful, and can shoulder this heavy responsibility!"

The first person to stand up and speak turned out to be Chen Chao?

That's right, it was indeed Chen Chao who spoke.

He suggested that Murong Chong take on the important task of envoying Chu this time.

Murong Chong, who was standing in an inconspicuous position in the column of military generals, was slightly startled, what was the situation? Why didn't anyone say anything to my ward in advance?

But soon, he understood that this was an opportunity in front of him.

As long as this mission is successfully completed, not to mention the addition of officials to knighthood, rewards will definitely be indispensable.

If the Murong clan wants to gain a firm foothold in the dragon and tiger pond in the capital, it is far from enough to see a ranger general, and the official has to rise one level.

So, Murong rushed out of the column and hugged his fist: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go!" ”

Emperor Yongxing did not express his opinion immediately, but said: "Is there anyone else who wants to go, stand up, compare, and see who is suitable?" ”

In fact, in his heart, he was reluctant to let Murong Chong go, Murong Chong is now the chief general of the Changsheng army, after the Changsheng army returned to Beijing, he naively thought that as long as the identity of the traitor of the Chen Dynasty was exposed in front of the army, the Changsheng army would be centrifuged and no longer loyal to the Chen Dynasty.

But he was wrong, looking at it in the past few months, the Changsheng army is still the descendant army of the Chen Dynasty, especially the main general Murong Chong and those Zhaowu captains, who are desperate for the Chen Dynasty.

Emperor Yongxing really regretted that he had not done it at the beginning, because he was naΓ―ve to think that as long as his heart was more sincere than that of the Chen Dynasty, these generals would be loyal to him, not the Chen Dynasty.

Who knows, who knows...... Chen Chao did a haircut acting head.

Emperor Yongxing was defeated.

If Murong Chong successfully completed the task of envoying to the Chu State, after he returned, this official position would have to rise by one and a half levels.

Emperor Yongxing didn't want to watch the Chen Dynasty's power further expand.

So, he handed Zhou Mi, the secretary of the military department, a look.

Zhou Mi is a loyal monarch faction, as long as Zhou Mi launches a personal candidate, Emperor Yongxing has a way to send this person out to replace Murong Chong.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, someone from the military department came out.

But it's not Zhou Mi, but a waiter.

"The minister thinks that General Murong is young and vigorous, and he is not thoughtful, so he is not suitable to take on this important task, and the minister recommends Dingyuan General Zhou Feng to take on this important task!"

Chen Chao smiled.

is the second generation of officials who have not achieved enough things and have more than failures, and they have a good father.

How does he compare to my eldest brother, Murong Chong?

Before Emperor Yongxing could open his mouth to speak, Chen Chao looked at the soldier who recommended Zhou Feng and said:

"Forgive the candidate recommended by the waiter, I don't dare to agree, the waiter said that General Murong is young and vigorous, and he is not thoughtful? Could it be that General Dingyuan is very thoughtful? If the Battle of Yunzhou hadn't been blindly commanded by General Dingyuan in the early stage, would we have been so difficult to fight? ”

Zhou Feng was exposed to his scars and hid in the crowd and couldn't raise his head.

Well, he's just looking for a good dad.

For the rest, he's just a scrap of wood.

Choked on speechlessness, the squire shook his sleeves and sighed, returning to the queue.

Emperor Yongxing slowly closed his eyes, and at this moment, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness again.

Chen Chao looked at the courtiers and said lightly: "Although Murong Chong is young, he is bold and careful, and I need such a talent." ”

"Take this opportunity to hone it well, and it may not be impossible to become successful!"

"What do you think?"

Prime Minister Chen Chao has spoken, what other opinions can the people below have?

Some of the Chen Dang's dogs couldn't wait to stand up and arched their hands: "What the prime minister said is very reasonable, General Murong can shoulder this heavy responsibility." ”

"No one is more suitable than General Murong."

"I think it's okay......"

"I think it's okay."

Everyone, you say a word to me, Murong Chong has to go this time.

Chen Chao finally looked at Emperor Yongxing, no longer in an inquiring tone, more like an order, "What does Your Majesty think?" ”

Emperor Yongxing opened his mouth, with a hint of bitterness in his tone, and said stubbornly: "What Father Ya said is very reasonable, then let General Murong go." ”

"Thank Your Majesty, the minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust!" Murong Chong said excitedly.

……

……

After the end of the pilgrimage.

Chen Chao went straight to the imperial study, and every time he came here, Chen Chao found that Emperor Yongxing was always looking at excerpts.

When you are an emperor, you always have endless excerpts.

Chen Chaozhen felt pain and misfortune for Emperor Yongxing.

It seems that being an emperor is not so happy.

Emperor Yongxing was reminded by the three treasures beside him, only to know that Chen Chao was coming, and raised his eyes to look at Chen Chao, "Father Ya sits casually, and I will deal with the matter at hand first." ”

"Okay." Chen Chao replied lightly, picked up a place to sit down, and Sanbao came to pour tea.

At today's court meeting, the matter of going to Chu has been finalized, the envoy is set up as 500 people, and Murong Chong is the main envoy of the mission, and he will leave for Chu within ten years, and arrive at Jinling, the capital of Chu State, at the end of the year.

If nothing else, I will be able to come back in the spring of next year.

Taking a sip of tea, Chen Chao looked at Emperor Yongxing and asked casually, "Does the second prince know that His Majesty has chosen a marriage for him?" ”

The eldest princess of Chu will eventually marry the second prince.

But the second prince is still fighting for the country in northern Xinjiang, and he got a daughter-in-law in vain.

"I don't know, I'll find out in a few days, I've already sent a message to him."

Emperor Yongxing looked at the fold in his hand, reviewed it, and asked rhetorically, "What is the father asking for?" ”

"Oh...... Just ask. ”

After speaking, Chen Chao frowned, slightly worried.

"Although it is not my turn to marry the prince and the princess, if the second prince does not return to Beijing all the year round, how can the marriage of the two be handled? Is it that the princess has been hanging out all the time? Let the family wait in the capital all the time? ”

"This father doesn't need to worry, after the eldest princess comes, I will give her a mansion to live in temporarily, and still treat her as the eldest princess until the second prince returns to Beijing."

Chen Chao smiled silently, thinking in his heart:

These two princes were originally the crown princes of Daji.

Emperor Yongxing is relieved that the second prince will return to Beijing?

In the capital, there are still many henchmen of the second prince.

If the second prince returns to Beijing, it is difficult to say whether Emperor Yongxing's position is stable.

And the second prince in the kind of wild land in northern Xinjiang, nominally for the country, in fact, is no different from exile.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Chao was too lazy to entangle anymore, he came over this time for business, put down the teacup, Chen Chao said: "Under the new year, there is no major event in the court, and the minister wants to go to Chuzhou." ”

Emperor Yongxing raised his eyebrows, put down the fold in his hand, and looked at Chen Chao, who was calm on the chair: "Chuzhou? What did Father do there? ”

"Accompany my wife to raise a baby, and by the way, I went to visit the minister's father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Song Lao Shangshu is in Chuzhou?"

"That's right."

Emperor Yongxing thought about it, touched his smooth chin with his hand, muttered a soft sigh, and said, "But Chuzhou is too close to Jinling, and people are terrible." ”

After speaking, Emperor Yongxing deliberately glanced at Chen Chao.

Chen Chao knew what Emperor Yongxing was talking about.

Emperor Chu recruited him into Chu as the prime minister.

In this special period, at a critical juncture, Chen Chao was not in the capital, but deliberately went to Chuzhou.

Chuzhou is on the north bank of the river, and Jinling is on the south bank of the river.

The distance between the two places is only a few hours, and it is difficult not to wonder if Chen Chao really wants to take the opportunity to run away and go to Chu as the prime minister.

If this is the case, Emperor Yongxing doesn't know if he should be happy or something else?

I am happy because the Chen Dynasty finally left Daji, and Daji no longer has a traitor to control the government, and he, the emperor, finally has the opportunity to show his strengths.

But the Chen Dynasty went to the Chu State as the prime minister, and the Chu State was like a tiger with wings, and Daji's situation would be more difficult than ever.

"Do you have to go?"

Chen Chao smiled slightly, "The minister's will has been decided, I have to go!" ”

Then, Chen Chao said calmly: "Your Majesty is not worried that Murong Chong is young and will not be thoughtful when he serves as an envoy to the Chu State, and it just so happens that the minister will accompany him and go to Jinling to meet the Chu Emperor for a while." ”

The atmosphere in the study suddenly became silent.

Emperor Yongxing stared at Chen Chao's face, trying to see some clues from his face.

But in the end, I couldn't see through it, so I could only say helplessly:

"Since the Father has made up his mind, let it ..... Go and come back quickly, Daji still needs Yafu to come back and preside over the overall situation....."
