Chen Yixin looked back and saw that Chen Xiaotian had stood behind her at some point. Chen Yixin's face turned red and said, "Father, when did you come?"
Chen Xiaotian smiled: "I also just arrived. Yixin, you have talked to Camp Chief Meng in detail, but you have left out the most important point. ”
Chen Yixin nodded and said, "Understood." He turned to Meng Yong and said, "Battalion Commander Meng, the General's Mansion has prepared a thousand taels of silver as your consolation money, I don't know what you think?"
Meng Yong's eyes widened, and he said loudly, "More...... How much?!...... A thousand taels?"
Chen Yixin said: "If Camp Chief Meng is not enough, we can discuss it again." ”
"Enough...... Enough! Enough!"
Chen Yixin smiled and continued: "I bother Camp Chief Meng to go to the gate of the mansion to register his address, and tomorrow I will send someone to send the silver taels to the mansion." ”
Meng Yong nodded in agreement, and walked quickly to the door, secretly rejoicing as he walked: "My annual silver is less than twenty taels, and one thousand taels of silver is enough for Lao Tzu to live happily for most of his life, and it is not a loss to masturbate Lao Tzu's official money." Besides, Chen Fu's original intention was not to make a big deal out of it, and with Chen Xiaotian coming forward, presumably the above would not deal with us too heavily. In this way, not only did he keep his official position, but he also made a windfall, which is really a good thing that he will not lose money. ”
Chen Yixin saw Meng Yong walking away, so she came to Chen Xiaotian and briefly told the story.
Chen Xiaotian nodded after hearing this: "You handled it very properly, tomorrow morning, I will go to Kou Dujun and Master Li, and tell them what happened tonight, just say that the old man of the Apocalypse sent people to rescue his accomplices, and the sergeants and guards in the palace were invincible, so they robbed the people, and this matter is over." ”
Chen Yixin said: "Lord Li, that's easy to say, but I'm afraid that Kou Overseer won't believe it so easily." ”
Chen Xiaotian said: "It doesn't matter if he believes it or not. Right now, the old man of the Apocalypse is messing with Jinling, if he can't catch them as soon as possible, the saint will blame him, and he Kou Huairen will have to walk around without eating. Now he and I are grasshoppers tied to a rope, and he can't fly or run away from me. ”
Chen Yixin'e frowned slightly and said: "Having said that, I always feel that King Qi and Kou Huairen have not been well-intentioned, and they always want to kill us as soon as possible." As soon as the explosion in the ring took place, I heard that someone in the court immediately took a copy of you, saying that you were negligent in your defense and hurt the people because of your own personal affairs, and asked the Holy Lord to punish you severely. ”
Chen Xiaotian twisted his beard in his hand and smiled slightly: "You said that there is indeed such a thing. However, I believe that not only will He not punish me, but on the contrary, he will trust me more. ”
Chen Yixin was confused when she heard this, and said puzzledly: "Father, I don't understand this." Even if the Holy One cares about your merits and does not pursue this matter, how can he trust you more because of this matter?"
Chen Xiaotian laughed and said, "Yixin, although you are very clever, you still know very little about the way of officialdom." ”
"I also hope that my father will give me advice. ”
Chen Xiaotian nodded and asked rhetorically: "After this piece of music that I have participated in is sent, can someone in the court refute it for me?"
Chen Yixin said: "It's strange to say. Lord Sun, the official who has always been good friends with you, and Lord Huang, the envoy of the three divisions, did not refute for you, and even Lord Hai, who has always been known for his uprightness and outspokenness, did not say a word, and no one in the court argued for your father. ”
Chen Xiaotian smiled: "This is not surprising, because I told them that no matter who impeaches me for various reasons, you should not argue for me." ”
Chen Yixin was puzzled: "Why is this?!"
Chen Xiaotian did not answer, but asked, "Let me ask you, if you are a saint, what will the ministers do that will cause you great disgust?"
Chen Yixin thought for a moment and said slowly: "Could it be a party?!"
Chen Xiaotian stroked his palms and laughed: "Yixin, you are really smart, you can understand a little! That's right, it's a party." What every monarch in all dynasties hated most was the collusion of ministers to deter the imperial power. Especially when the saint has just ascended the throne, the imperial power is not stable, and what he is most afraid of is that his ministers will form a faction, and the tail will not fall. Now that I've had an accident, it's not terrible to have someone to join me, but the most terrible thing is that someone has just joined me, and someone immediately jumped out to defend me, so that I am a person with henchmen in the heart of the saint, and it is inevitable that I will be wary of me in the future. ”
When Chen Yixin heard this, she nodded and said: "Now that no one in the court stands up for my father, it means that my father is just alone and has no comrades, so the saint will trust you more." ”
Chen Xiaotian twisted his beard and said: "Yes, what's more, I held a martial arts competition for you to recruit relatives, which was approved by the Holy Lord, otherwise how dare I make it so grand?"
Chen Yixin said unhappily: "Okay, it turns out that my father is to deal with the errand assigned by the saint, so he held this martial arts competition for his daughter to recruit relatives?"
When Chen Xiaotian heard this, he sighed and said: "Being a father is also involuntarily! Yixin, as a father is an important minister of the court, many small things in ordinary people's families are major matters related to the pattern of the court in our family, such as your marriage. ”
"How can my marriage have anything to do with the court?"
Chen Xiaotian said: "Yixin, you are not the daughter of ordinary people, you are the beloved daughter of my protector general Chen Xiaotian." Whoever marries you is married to the general who protects the country, has formed an alliance with me Chen Xiaotian, and stands with the 100,000 elite soldiers of the Jiangbei battalion, do you think this is a matter of the court?"
"Yes...... But the daughter wants to find a Lang Jun she really likes, who is afraid that he is just a cloth cloth and grass people, or a weak scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, as long as the daughter is in love with him and the two are happy, even if the daily coarse cloth and morning and evening salt, it is also happy. ”
Chen Xiaotian sighed, stroked Chen Yixin's black hair with his hand, and said slowly: "Yixin, how can my father not know your thoughts? You don't know how many people have broken through the threshold to say goodbye to you since you became an adult, whether it is a high-ranking official or a relative of the emperor and the country, your father has politely declined, and once your father knows your mind, he has always disdained to be with these bureaucrats and aristocrats in your heart. Second, as a father, I also hope that your mother can put on a wedding dress for you with her own hands and see you marry out beautifully. Although my father has been busy with official business in the past few years, he has rarely walked around the rivers and lakes, but he has been sending people to look for your mother's traces. Although nothing has been found so far, my father believes that sooner or later, your mother will return to us. ”
Chen Yixin looked at her father's firm eyes, and her heart was full of mixed feelings. Once upon a time, she complained more than once why she was born in Jiangmen, when others were laughing and playing with her brothers and sisters, she could only be accompanied by knives, guns and sticks, and the Four Books and Five Classics. When others were playing coquettishly under her parents' knees, she only faced the scolding and scolding of the master......
Whenever she thinks of this, Chen Yixin will be sad, but today she saw Chen Xiaotian's resolute eyes, and she felt a little happy in her heart, because she has such a great father, no matter what twists and turns he goes through, it is only temporary, and in the end he will definitely lead himself and lead everyone in the General's Mansion out of the haze and welcome victory.
