"Sometimes I wonder why your mother is not like your parents at all, when your mother raged the rivers and lakes and used ruthless methods, and your father even sacrificed the people around him for revenge, but you are the only one, why is it not like your parents at all?"

"Everyone acts for no reason, my father and mother act because they have suffered some misfortunes, and I, who have always been around people who love and care for me, so I am luckier than them. Jian Chen said calmly.

Are you really luckier than them?

A man who has been counted by his father since he was born in applause goes so far as to say that he is lucky.

Doctor Ping shook his head and looked at Jian Chen opposite, he didn't understand.

He couldn't understand where the persistence and kindness of the person in front of him came from.

"You take this antidote first. Doctor Ping returned the antidote that Jian Chen had given him.

"Doctor Ping, what are you?" Jian Chen was puzzled.

"To prepare the antidote, I still have to make some preparations, and when I am ready, I will come to you. Doctor Ping said lightly.

"In that case, I'm waiting for the good news from Dr. Ping. Jian Chen took the antidote into his arms.

Doctor Ping nodded, glanced at Jian Chen meaningfully, and turned to leave.

After many days of conditioning, Jian Chen's body finally recovered slowly.

Since he is in good health, there is naturally no reason to stay in the palace anymore.

Chen Jian returned to the mansion outside the palace given to him by the emperor and began to become an official.

The so-called Jixian Academy bachelor was originally an idle errand, and Chen Jian, who was bored, entered the palace to ask the emperor for advice.

"You want to be Commander Yan's deputy?" the emperor was quite puzzled by Jian Chen's request.

"Yes, when he was a Praetorian Guard, the minister regarded Lord Yan as an idol, and now he also asks the emperor for permission to follow Lord Yan. ”

"Jinghua didn't tell you about Commander Yan?" the emperor beat a drum in his heart.

"The princess told the minister. Jian Chen's face was indifferent.

"In that case, do you still want to follow him?" The emperor was puzzled when he learned that Jian Chen knew what Yan Songhe had done to him and asked to follow Yan Songhe.

"The emperor knows that the minister is the leader of the martial arts alliance, and what can make the minister admire is naturally a brave and resourceful hero, so looking at the palace, only Lord Yan is what I admire. ”

"Aren't you afraid that he will do anything to you again?"

"The emperor can rest assured, now that the minister is no longer the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he has also lost his martial arts, Lord Yan should have no interest in me, besides, I am now a county horse, and I believe that Lord Yan will not make a mistake at will. ”

Jian Chen's words silenced the emperor, and he looked at the person in front of him, his expression was a little dazed.

He found that the longer Jian Chen stayed by his side, the more he felt that this person had an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

This strange feeling made the emperor sigh a little in his heart.

Could it be that this is the so-called sympathy?

In the end, the emperor still agreed to Chen Jian's request, not only allowing him to follow Yan Songhe, but also allowing him to participate in some court and political discussions as a county horse.

What the emperor did actually had some implicit meaning.

There were not many heirs of the first emperor, although there were several princesses, but only the emperor was the only son, and in the emperor's generation, not even a princess was born.

Therefore, the emperor wants to cultivate some of his cronies, and if he has a good one day in the future, he will be able to have someone by his side when he chooses the storage position.

And Jian Chen is what he wants to cultivate now.

And the emperor's thoughts, Chen Jian didn't understand.

After he got the emperor's will, he went to Yan Songhe in a grand manner.

Yan Songhe knew what Jian Chen's intention was to ask the emperor for an edict, and although he was angry that the emperor had repeatedly retreated, there was nothing he could do.

The most important thing is that his plan can be carried out soon, and he does not care about some of the emperor's whereabouts at this moment.

And Chen Jian's behavior made Jinghua very puzzled.

In her heart, Jian Chen should have a grudge against Yan Songhe, but now she was surprised to see that he often followed him.

After many inquiries, Chen Jian always laughed and was unwilling to answer.

Jinghua didn't force it, and went with him, because she found that Jian Chen's current depression had swept away the previous depression, and the whole person seemed to have spirits, and she was happy to see Jian Chen like this.

On this day, Chen Jianzheng was ordered by Yan Songhe to return to the emperor, but he saw two people outside the imperial study.

Dong Quan of the Hou Ye Mansion and Lu Qingsong of the Pingyang Mansion.

Since Chen Jian returned to the palace, the emperor sent someone to release the people who were still imprisoned in Pingyang Mansion, reprimanded them, and sent them back to Pingyang Mansion.

After Lu Qingsong returned home, he asked the emperor many times to come to see Chen Jian, but the emperor refused.

Now that he met Chen Jian, Lu Qingsong was quite excited.

Lu Qingsong has already learned everything that happened to Jian Chen.

He blamed this qiē on being used by others to exile Chen Jian to the frontier, so he has always been obsessed.

And Dong Quan beside him hated Chen Jian when he saw it.

This thorn in the eye did not die in the barracks, nor did he die in Tart, let alone in Wulin Yuan, but became a bachelor and became the princess's county horse, which made him extremely angry in his heart.

"The dignified martial arts alliance leader shamelessly begged a woman for protection, which is really a shame for your Jianghu people. "Dong Quan was angry when he saw Jian Chen.

Lu Qingsong saw Dong Quan's bad words, and was about to speak out to defend it, but he laughed to himself when he saw Chen Jian beside him.

"What's so funny?" Dong Quan saw that his sarcasm did not affect Jian Chen in the slightest, and he was furious.

Chen Jian restrained his smile and spread his hands, "The lesson of Master Hou is that Jian Chen didn't listen to Master Hou before, so he was betrayed by his friends and abandoned by the rivers and lakes, which is really regrettable, so Jian Chen is now following the example of Lord Hou, and relying on women to get rich and noble, in exchange for being so decent today." ”

Throwing down this sentence, Jian Chen turned around and shook his hand away.

Hou Ye saw that Jian Chen regarded him as nothing, his old face couldn't hold it, he shook off his hand, and rushed to the imperial study angrily.

Dong Quan's daughter entered the palace as the emperor's concubine, and Dong Quan relied on his daughter's power to climb to her current position step by step, which is no secret in the entire palace.

Chen Jian's words were obviously to ridicule his father and daughter, and he was unwilling to give up after suffering such a great humiliation.

Seeing Dong Quan hurriedly enter the palace to ask for the guilt, Lu Qingsong's brows furrowed.

I don't know why, he feels that Jian Chen seems to have changed now.

It became a little unfamiliar, which made him a little incomprehensible.

In the imperial study, Dong Quan was complaining to the emperor, saying that he should not send his daughter to the palace, which was criticized in vain, and Lu Qingsong knew what Dong Quan was referring to, so he had been persuading him.

When the emperor saw Dong Quan and Lu Qingsong, he said a word to me, but Chen Jian, as a party concerned, seemed to stay out of the matter, watching coldly, and couldn't help frowning.

"Okay, the two families don't need to say much. I came here today to discuss important matters, not to listen to the two of you chattering here about this little thing!"

Dong Quan was very unconvinced, "Your Majesty, Chen Jian is so rude to the old minister as a mere bachelor, if everyone follows him, what face does the old minister have in this court." “

The emperor knows Dong Quan's character, and his daughter Concubine De is happy with the Queen Mother recently, so he is also known for his arrogance in the court on weekdays, but because of the face of the Queen Mother, as long as he is not excessive, he will turn a blind eye.

Now that he has just entered the palace, he has a conflict with Jian Chen, it is difficult to ensure that he said in front of Concubine De, with Concubine De's character, he will definitely chew his tongue in front of the Queen Mother, this matter of Chen Jian, the Queen Mother has just calmed down, and now it is stirred up like this, and it is difficult to bring up the old matter again. Thinking of this, the emperor glanced at Jian Chen.

"Don't hurry up and ask Lord Hou for guilt!"

Seeing that the emperor was glaring at him and knowing the emperor's intentions, Jian Chen walked straight in front of Dong Quan and bent down deeply.

"Chen Jian was reckless, he collided with Hou Ye, and forgive Hou Ye!" After speaking, he retreated without waiting for Dong Quan to speak.

Dong Quan saw that Chen Jian's request was insincere, and wanted to open his mouth again, but the emperor stopped him and said, "Okay, Master Hou, Chen Jian has already asked you for the guilt, this matter is settled, don't worry too much, after all, who picked the matter first, I know it in my heart." ”

Dong Quan saw that the emperor said this, and he had no choice but to retract the words in his mouth unwillingly.

"Today, I want the two families to come to discuss the allocation of grain and grass in Sanping Town. The Emperor came down the hall.

"Sanping Town?" Chen Jian was shocked in his heart, wasn't that Shen Zheng's station?

"Back to the emperor, recently, Tart Snow has repeatedly invaded our frontier, General Shen has suffered heavy losses, and there is no food and grass, so he has to send troops to replenish it. Lu Qingsong said.

"The old minister thinks it's impossible!" Dong Quan said.

"Why does Dong Qing's family think it's impossible?"

"I heard that the imperial court has sent many groups of soldiers to support, but repeatedly robbed in the middle of the road, robbers not only killed people, but also burned grain and grass, resulting in heavy losses to the imperial court. “

"What about the urgency over there?" the Emperor asked.

"The emperor can issue an edict ordering the people in the surrounding towns and villages of Sanping Town to pay more taxes on grain and grass to save the border pass. ”

"Absolutely not!" Lu Qingsong said, "The people at the border have been living in poverty for many years, and now they are increasing their taxes, I am afraid that they will lose the hearts of the people." The minister believed that there should be a dispatch from the imperial court. ”

"If half of the road is plundered again, the treasury will be empty at that time, and the gains outweigh the losses! Is it up to you, Lord Lu, to be responsible for the consequences?"

"All right," roared the Emperor, "I want a way, not to listen to you quarrel here!"

"Jian Chen has a method, you can try it. Seeing that the emperor seemed to be in a dilemma, Jian Chen said leisurely on the side.

"Oh?" the emperor turned to Jian Chen.

"National affairs, how can you be reckless in the management of the rivers and lakes. Dong Quan snorted coldly.

"Master Hou is wrong, this method needs the help of the rivers and lakes. ”

"Dong Quan, Chen Jian is already a bachelor of Jixian Academy, and he will become a county horse in the near future, I hope that Hou Ye will no longer be called reckless in the rivers and lakes, otherwise, I will not be spared. "For Dong Quan's wanton arrogance, the emperor is very angry. He turned to Jian Chen, "You come quickly." ”

"The key to this matter is that the grain and grass of the imperial court cannot reach the border pass, the emperor can change the method, and the grain and grass will be escorted by the people of the rivers and lakes, first, the troops of the imperial court can be preserved, and secondly, the people in the rivers and lakes know very well about the robbery and killing of grass bandits, plus they have martial arts, and they can also resist the robbery of the bandits. ”
