Chapter 414: The Murong Clan Arrives in Beijing!
Empress year, late summer.
The Murong family's convoy from Huainan officially arrived in the capital today!
There were more than ten carriages in the group, plus the accompanying maids and guards, and the team was quite spectacular.
In the carriage, everyone looked listless and wilted.
In this era, there has never been a good experience of going out for a long distance, not even by horse-drawn carriage.
The beautiful woman Lu Shi stretched out her hand and lifted the curtain, admired the scenery on the outskirts of the capital, and then said to Murong Chong, who was riding a horse in parallel:
"Son, come in, my mother has something to tell you."
In the carriage, Lu and Murong Yue's mother and daughter sat opposite each other.
Murong Yue was counted all the way by her mother, and when she saw her eldest brother coming, she could be regarded as grasping a life-saving straw.
She wanted to get up and flee, leaving room for the two to talk in the car, but was ordered by Lu to sit back again.
Lu stared at his son, frowned and said:
"The marriage has to be done with great fanfare, I really don't know what he thinks? Is it because everyone is dying fast enough? ”
Lu's mouth is straightforward and quick, what to say.
According to Chen Chao's meaning, he wanted to carry a sedan chair to welcome Murong Yue back to the Prime Minister's Mansion!
But when you marry a wife in the capital, you still marry the former queen mother, are all the princes in the capital blind? Can't recognize who Murong Yue is?
Murong Chong stretched out his little finger and dug out his ears, turned his head to look at the scenery outside, and said unconcernedly: "Mother, Xiangye has his own plans for doing this, so we don't have to worry about it." ”
According to Murong Chong's understanding of the Chen Dynasty, the Chen Dynasty had a deep meaning in doing so.
The Chen Dynasty wanted to use this incident to test the bottom line of the princes of the imperial court against him, and to what extent did he tolerate what he did?
After the Chen Dynasty fully grasped the power of Daji, it wanted to carry out drastic reforms to Daji, and these reforms were much more difficult to accept.
Chen Chao wants to take advantage of this big wedding to test the bottom line of the princes and formulate a plan for the follow-up reform!
“..... Mother, what do you want to do so much? It's just adding to the troubles. ”
Murong Chong waved his hand and said, "It's good for me, sister, and younger brother to do the things outside, and the glory of the Murong clan is on the shoulders of our brother and sister." You and your father are old, and in the future, we will travel every day, eat and drink, and give us a few more younger brothers and sisters while our bodies and bones are still good. ”
Murong Chong, Murong Yue, and Murong Ting's three brothers and sisters are all from the Lu family!
Like the intrigue in other families, the sisters fight to the death for a little profit, their heads are broken and their blood flows, and even the brothers are not harmonious because of this, these phenomena cannot be seen in the Murong family.
The relationship between the three brothers and sisters has been very good since childhood, and they were worried that their youngest son Murong Ting would not learn and go on a crooked path.
But now it seems that this concern is completely unwarranted.
Lu Shi took a deep breath and said, "But..... Can your sister be happy when she gets married? Chen Chao has never been able to see through this person as a mother, what if he doesn't want your sister in the future? ”
Don't say that you can't see through it, who in this world dares to say that you can see through Xiangye?
Murong Chong thought of this in his heart and rubbed his forehead.
Murong Yue hurriedly interjected and took the initiative to hold her mother's hand: "Mother, Chen Chao won't want me, he treats me very well." ”
Murong Chong also said: "Mother, Xiangye really has nothing to say to his sister.... Let's not talk about this, I'm about to enter the city, and the master said that he will come to pick it up in person, and my mother will be able to see your granddaughter in a while. ”
"Mother, I can tell you, Sugar Baby is so cute, you will love it when you see it."
“……”
.....
On this day, when the sky was bright, the sleepy-eyed sugar baby was picked up from the bed by the maid.
Holding the little guy and squatting by the pool, the maid took a toothbrush made of pig bristles and carefully brushed Sugar Baby's teeth.
Sugar Treasure nested in the maid's arms, her head tilted, and her eyes had not yet opened.
The maid saw Chen Chao coming, stood up straight with Tangbao in her arms, and said to Chen Chao: "Xiangye, the eldest lady can't wake up." ”
"Try again." Chen Chao said with his hands behind his back.
The maid shook Sugar Treasure gently, trying to shake Sugar Treasure awake, and said as she shook it, "Miss, Miss, wake up, wake up." ”
Sugar Baby was indifferent and continued to fall asleep with his head tilted.
Chen Chao stretched out his hand to rub his brows, pinched Tangbao's little face, and whispered: "Tangbao wake up, your mother found that you wet the bed last night." ”
"Huh?"
Sugar Bao reflexively opened his sleepy eyes, yawned, and saw Chen Chaohou cry out "Dad".
"Dad, I'm sleepy."
She raised her head, her mouth was full of bubbles, and she was worried: "Mother? Mother won't take a feather duster to smoke candy treasure buttocks, right? ”
"Before your mother pumps your ass, Daddy will take you to your uncle."
"Uncle?"
Speaking of this, Tangbao was not sleepy all of a sudden, and quickly washed up under the service of the maid, and then took Chen Chao's hand and walked outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, for fear that Song Qingwan would catch up with Song Qingwan, who was walking slowly.
"Will my uncle let me ride on his neck?" Sugar Baby tilted his head and asked.
"Even if you want the moon in the sky, your uncle will find a way to pluck it from the sky for you."
Murong Chong has nothing to say to the child, and spoils him like a princess.
"Okay, yes, yes, I want the moon in the sky..."Sugar Treasure said happily.
Chen Chao was silent, hoping that when Tangbao met her uncle for a while, her uncle would be able to meet this request.
After not waiting long outside the city, Chen Chao saw a convoy with the banner of the Murong clan slowly approaching from the end of the official road.
Chen Chao hugged Tangbao and greeted him, and when he saw the Murong family who got off the carriage, everyone was very happy, Tangbao was quickly carried away by the Lu family, and went to the pavilion next to the official road to rare her granddaughter.
Chen Chao and Murong Chong stood in the distance, whispering.
Murong Chong said mysteriously: "Xiangye, I brought you some people this time. ”
Although Chen Chao and Murong Chong were standing together, their eyes were touching each other with Murong Yue, who was playing with Lu and Tangbao in the distance, and secretly sent Qiu Bo.
"Xiangye? Xiangye, wake up. Murong Chong shook Chen Chao.
"Who?"
Chen Chao came back to his senses and asked without interest.
"On the way back, I brought some disciples from the Baijie Sect along the way, and now they are in the carriages behind."
Murong Chong said excitedly.
"Really?"
Chen Chao was also excited, and his eyebrows raised.
At the beginning, he asked Murong Chong to assist Steward Mo in contacting the Baijiemen disciples who were scattered in various places, and tried to persuade them, but he didn't expect Murong Chong to directly bring people back to the capital in one step.
Again, Steward Mo is reluctant to enter Beijing, which does not mean that other Baijiemen disciples are unwilling.
"How many are there?"
"Twenty or so."
"Let's go, let's see."
Chen Chao beckoned, and then, under the leadership of Murong Chong, came to the rear of the convoy, lifted the curtain and looked inside.
I saw a family sitting in the car, there were women and children and children, and the most important thing to face Chen Dynasty here was the middle-aged man, who was a disciple of Baijiemen, and the women and children and children were his family members.
Looking at the situation in the other carriages again, Murong Chong said:
"Among them, there are a total of five Baijie Sect disciples, and the rest are their family members."
Lowering the curtain, Chen Chao smiled and patted Murong Chong's shoulder: "Five, less is less, but it's better than nothing." After a while, these people will be sent to Qingshan County to find a place to be closely protected. ”
"Yes."
The gunpowder factory of the Chen Dynasty was secretly built in Qingshan County, but few people know the detailed address, even if Li Yu launched a mutiny at that time, he sent people to search for the carpet, but no clues were found.
Han Zhong has always been in charge there.
Chen Chao plans to raise these Baijiemen disciples for a period of time, serve them with good food and drink, let them gradually relax their guard, and then test their loyalty, and only then will those who pass the test be put into the research and development of muskets and artillery.
