Half an hour later.

The main hall of the Song Mansion.

Chen Chao accompanied Song Dingshan to have tea, during which the two chatted.

Only now did Song Dingshan's pounding heart settle down, and at the same time scolded Chen Chao for hiding such a big thing from him and not telling him.

He's an old man, not dead!

This huge Song Mansion has hundreds of people inside and out.

He Song Dingshan is still alive for a day, and this family is still up to him.

When he came to Chen Chao, he, the head of the family, didn't work.

"Father-in-law, I'm not afraid that there will be too many people who know, delay things, and startle snakes." Chen Chao smiled and said:

"I didn't even tell Qingwan."

Hearing this, Song Dingshan slammed it.

He slapped the teacup in his hand on the table, blew his beard and glared:

"Qingwan is going to give birth at the end of the month, and this is the most exciting time, if you tell her about it, you can get out."

Chen Chao touched his head and obediently listened to the training.

Or this is the only person in the world who can make Chen Dynasty like this.

Stompe!

A short time later, footsteps sounded outside the hall.

Hou Ji took off his blood-covered robe outside the main hall, wiped his face indiscriminately, and then came in, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice:

"Xiangye, Long Wuwei is fortunate not to be dishonored, under Xiao Han's leading charge, and with the support of thousands of officers and soldiers of Chuzhou City on the periphery, we have annihilated all the assassins in Yanyulou, and none of them have escaped, a total of two hundred and thirteen people."

Chen Chao nodded, and said nothing, because this result was expected.

However, after Song Dingshan heard this, his heart fluttered and he was taken aback, "So many people? ”

Hou Ji looked at Song Dingshan and nodded: "There are indeed so many people, and they are all in the open space outside the mansion." ”

When Song Dingshan heard this, he was immediately angry and stood up, "Hurry up and pull it away, what's the matter with it in front of the house." ”

"If you provoke blood because of this, if Qingwan has any accidents, the old man will ask you."

Chen Chao also said: "Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and pull it away." ”

Hou Ji touched his nose and knew that he had done something wrong, so he left the main hall in a gloomy manner and hurriedly sent someone to dispose of the killer's body.

Gather together and burn it, or throw it in a mass grave outside the city, you can deal with it, but you can't put it outside the Song Mansion.

After Hou Ji left, Song Dingshan sat down.

After thinking about it, Song Dingshan pinched the goatee under his chin and said, "In the future, what are your plans?" ”

Chen Chao looked at Song Dingshan and tried to ask rhetorically, "Father-in-law, which aspect are you referring to?" ”

Song Dingshan didn't speak, glanced at Chen Chao angrily, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Chen Chao smiled bitterly.

He knew that the aspect that Song Dingshan was referring to was not about the family, nor about Song Qingwan and the delivery a few days later, but about the affairs in the court.

Since Chen Chao arrived in the Song Mansion, Weng and his son-in-law have not sat down to talk about it, and Chen Chao has deliberately avoided things in the court.

Song Dingshan and Fang Xiu in the capital are the same kind of people, stubborn, stubborn, and loyal to the monarch and patriotic!

There is a Fang Xiu in the capital, which is enough to annoy the Chen Dynasty.

If there is a Song Dingshan, and the two have this son-in-law and father-in-law relationship, it will be even more difficult for Chen Chao to deal with it.

However, looking at today's situation, Chen Chao can't escape.

Just tell the truth.

Clearing his throat, Chen Chao said frankly:

"Emperor Yongxing has been imprisoned in Xinuan Pavilion by his son-in-law, no accident, he will not think of half a step in his life, since the empress ascended the throne, he has suffered a lot of criticism, but the son-in-law will always protect her until she sits firmly on the throne of the emperor, as for when she grows up and is sensible, will she unload the mill and kill the donkey, who knows?"

"After the great purge, the court and the central government have now taken on a new look, and when the son-in-law leaves, Enke has already put it on his daily routine, and I believe that the various ministries of the court will return to normal at the end of summer."

"Several scholars from Wenchang Pavilion voluntarily returned to their hometowns to retire, and the son-in-law was approved."

"Several scholars are old, stubborn in thinking, and their vision is not long-term enough, and without them in the future, there will be a lot less resistance to the task of rejuvenation."

“......”

Chen Chao roughly picked up some important words.

This is the current situation of the Daji Dynasty today.

The goal of the first phase of the Chen Dynasty has been accomplished, and the Daji Dynasty is firmly in his own hands, and there is no opposition.

Song Dingshan listened quietly, frowning at first, and then, for some reason, nodded and stroked his goatee.

Chen Chao suddenly glanced up at Song Dingshan, feeling a little strange..... This stubborn little old man didn't scold, didn't scold him for messing with the dictatorship?

"Do you have enough manpower?"

"What?" Chen Chao thought he had misheard.

Song Dingshan repeated it again, and said calmly: "The old man said, is there enough manpower? The court has undergone such a great change, and it has taken on a new look, and there is a shortage of people everywhere in the six departments, if you don't have enough manpower, the old man has taught a lot of students over the years, although he has no great talent, but he can also be on top at a critical time. ”

In fact, what Song Dingshan wants to say is that the old man and students are all talented, but they are stuck in remote places, and their ambitions cannot be displayed, so you give them a chance.

But he was afraid of face, in front of his son-in-law, how could there be a reason for his father-in-law to beg for help, so he spoke in a different way.

Chen Chao understood what Song Dingshan meant, and immediately smiled: "Lack!" Very lacking! Nowadays, there is a shortage of people everywhere in the Sixth Department of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and the quality of new students is uneven, and they are far less useful than the students of my father-in-law. ”

Chen Chao said this sincerely, Song Dingshan looked at Chen Chao and felt that this kid was not the same as before.

"If that's the case, the old man will make a list for you tonight, some of these people are students trained by the old man, and some are not, but don't worry, these people have their own strengths, and they can be of great use when they arrive in the capital."

Chen Chao stood up: "Then thank you father-in-law for your generosity!" ”

After speaking, Chen Chao remembered something and said: "There is a person who also asks his father-in-law to cut his love, and he must let his son-in-law take him back to the capital." ”

Song Dingshan took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "Who?" The person you can remember is certainly not simple. ”

Chen Chao smiled: "Chuzhou City Lord, father-in-law's proud protégé, Han Xiangyang!" ”

Chuzhou City under the governance of this person, the people live and work in peace and contentment, almost until the night does not close the door, Chen Chao has seen Han Xiangyang several times, this person is not very old, upright and prime, humble and down-to-earth, and people can rest assured.

In general, Han Xiangyang has an appetite for Chen Chao!

can govern Chuzhou City so well, presumably the capital, and even the whole country.

Staying in Chuzhou City, I really wronged this talent!

"Xiangyang...."

Song Dingshan sighed and said: "Speaking of him, the old man really doesn't want to give him to you, if he leaves, this Chuzhou City doesn't know what to do, and the old man doesn't live steadily." ”

"Father-in-law!"

Chen Chao got up, personally filled Song Dingshan's already empty teacup with tea, and said:

"In any case, I hope that my father-in-law will cut my love, this person's son-in-law is going to be decided, and my father-in-law should not hide it, so as not to make outsiders say that my father-in-law is stingy."

"You, you....."

Song Dingshan picked up the teacup and blew it, looked at Chen Chao like this, and pointed at him with a smile.

The meaning is self-evident.

.....

.....

"I heard Yue'e say that the Xiangye and his father talked very happily in the afternoon, and the maids who waited outside often heard their father's hearty laughter, is there such a thing?"

At dusk, Chen Chao had just approached Song Qingwan's house when he heard Song Qingwan's question.

Chen Chao smiled, sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to caress Song Qingwan's stomach, "But nothing can escape your ears and eyes, there is indeed such a thing." ”

"In the afternoon, I had a very good conversation with my father-in-law, and my father-in-law said that I would go to the capital to live for a while when I had time in the future."

Hearing this, Song Qingwan smiled from the bottom of her heart: "Really? Did Father really say that? ”

Song Qingwan grabbed Chen Chao's hand very excitedly and asked if it was true or not.

Chen Chao tried to appease Song Qingwan, don't react so much, and be careful about the tire gas.

Song Qingwan doesn't care, since Chen Chao and Song Dingshan resigned in a fit of anger and returned to his hometown because of political disagreements, he vowed never to set foot in the capital again.

But Song Dingshan said today that he was going to live in the capital for a while, which means that the contradiction between Song Dingshan and Chen Chao has been resolved, how can Song Qingwan not be happy?

Song Qingwan couldn't wait to jump up on the spot, and her excitement was beyond words.

But smiling and laughing, Song Qingwan grabbed Chen Chao's hand and tightened suddenly, and she looked down at her big belly in surprise.

Chen Chao looked at Song Qingwan's appearance, and suddenly panicked in his heart, "What's wrong?" What's wrong with it? ”

Song Qingwan held her stomach and frowned, "It hurts." ”

Chen Chao was stunned, "It can't be that you are going to give birth, right?" ”

Song Qingwan didn't know, she was at a loss, but the pain was getting worse and worse, and her brows were tightly locked.

Chen Chao immediately called someone in: "Yue'e, call the doctor quickly, call the doctor over..... Madame is going to give birth. ”
