The owner can be his wife

The king of Yan was unfavorable, the former county magistrate of Qingyun County committed suicide in the hall!This news was transmitted back to the capital as quickly as possible, adding some joy to some people's Lantern Festival night.

In the palace, Concubine Chun pinched the brocade handkerchief in her hand, "Mingrui, do you want to help your fourth brother?" Chen Cheng poured a glass of wine for his mother and concubine, "Don't worry, mother, when did you meet fourth brother?" Something went wrong." Concubine Chun rubbed her forehead, "It turns out that your fourth brother is alone, so doing things is naturally much more convenient. Now that you have Gu Yunzhang by your side, if it is true as you said, your fourth brother will not lose his sense of proportion." Far."

"Mother, don't worry, Prince Yan is definitely not the kind of person who will be swayed by emotions." Tuobaying touched his belly that was already rising and falling, "Mother and concubine don't know, when in Turkic, the fourth brother used the Khan Empress and Hu Yanqing The general’s affair just entered my father Khan’s study. In the capital, he also intervened in the matter of Shen Weiwei and Vice-General Sikong. Tell me, how well he knows that feelings are a person’s weakness. So what? Let yourself be swayed by this weakness."

Chen Cheng frowned, "Who told you these things?" These things are not what Tuoba Ying should know.Concubine Chun also looked at her worriedly, if someone with evil intentions started on Tuobaying, it would be impossible to guard against.

Tuoba Ying pursed her lips lightly, and shook her head, "Who else could it be? It's your fourth brother. Before leaving, a letter from Gong Mingyan, who came out at some time, was intended to tell Mingrui, but I think When Mingrui came back that day, his expression was not right, so he kept it a secret." Chen Cheng was startled when he heard this, and then he gritted his teeth, "This fourth child, I'm sure I won't do anything to him."

"What can you do to your fourth brother?" Tuobaying smiled cleverly, tilting her head to look at her husband.Concubine Chun also covered her lips with a chuckle, and tapped Chen Cheng on the head, "You. I forgot what you said when you were a child."

"Mother Concubine, what did your husband say?" Tuoba Ying looked at Chen Cheng's handsome face that flushed instantly, and was particularly interested in the story hidden in Concubine Chun's words.Concubine Chun chuckled, "That year, his fourth brother won three yuan. When he came back, he told me that his fourth brother was not a human being, but a god. God knows, he had already passed the ceremony at that time, so why did he still have such a stupid idea? What do you dare to do to the gods now?"

Before Chen Chengjun blushed, he heard hurried footsteps outside the palace."Mother Concubine, I'm afraid something has happened." Concubine Chun was stunned, what could happen?

In the study room, Chen Yu felt a headache as he looked at the old gentleman kneeling in front of him. "Master Liu, if the news is accurate, why didn't I inform you. Get up first!"

"The news has already spread from Suzhou to the capital, and even the people escorting the child are already on their way. Even if it is not true, there is always a possibility. Your Majesty, I just ask you one thing. Can you send someone to Go and pick up that child, so that I, the grandfather, can confirm whether my poor grandson is still alive." After speaking, Liu Yun knocked his head on the ground, and when he looked up, he was already in tears.

"Lord Liu, are you out of your mind? The five emperors have been lost for many years, but at this moment the wind blows up. It is hard to guarantee that someone will take advantage of it. Even if it is really that child, you can't just fall into the trap of others." Chen Yu had a headache. , when Liu Yun's family offended the former court, it was also because of the operation of the empress and Zheng Guogong. In the end, there was only this old man left in the family, but it was pitiful, but even so, it could not be for the fifth son of the emperor who had no news before Hastily alarming those who are entrenched in the south, especially, he knows that the fifth son of the emperor must have lost his life at this time.

"The queen's son is a son, so my poor daughter is not a son! Chen Yu, don't lose your conscience!" Seeing that the old man was about to lose control again.Zhou Chengji hastily put the sniffing pill under Liu Yun's nose, and the strong smell irritated him, and the old man, who was already full of blood, immediately passed out.

At this time, Chen Yu's face was already gloomy and frightening. "Conscience, if you didn't want to blackmail me one by one back then, why would I hurt my child. Take him down and don't let anyone see him."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhou Chengji bowed, "Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body."

"Go down." Chen Yu waved and sat on the couch next to the desk.The fifth prince, the magistrate of Yangzhou, the bodyguard that escorted the fifth prince, and the underground emperor in Jinling, Jiyuanzhuang.All these seemed to be leading to Jinling, and among his princes, the one who stayed in Jinling for the longest time was Mingde.

"Come here. Draw up a decree." Chen Yu recruited a small servant, "Secret decree, let King Yan thoroughly investigate the matter of the five sons of the emperor in Jinling, and send it out immediately without any mistakes." The servant sealed the Ming paper with a yellow inner fold, bowed and left Go, trot all the way to go.

If Mingde is not involved in this matter, it is appropriate for him to do it. If Mingde is involved in this matter, there may be a reason to restrict him in the future.At this time, Chen Yu had already made up his mind. If Chen Jian didn't find out anything about this matter, the matter of the fifth prince in the future would be his most powerful trump card to control Chen Jian.He cannot bear the crime of confusing the royal blood and shaking the country.

But at this time, it was also night, and Chen Yan and Gu Yunxi were galloping on the official road with two horses. They changed into ordinary clothes, and when they marched, there was only the sound of the horseshoes kicking, nothing else.Lu Zhicheng's death brought the matter to a juncture that was about to become chaotic. At this time, the people who reported to other state capitals should not have arrived. If they were rushed, they should be able to find out something before the news was spread.

The south is in a sensitive period at this time, and any homing pigeons and other things flying in the sky will be shot unconditionally, so I hope we can catch up.

The morning was slightly bright, and the two who had been running for half a night looked at the city gate in front of them and let out a sigh of relief.Chen Yan looked at the slightly pale Gu Yuntai, "Are you okay?"

"It's nothing." Gu Yuntai shook his head, the spring was cold, even in the warm south, he couldn't resist the coldness of the night in early spring.Turning over and dismounting from the horse, Chen Jian was dressing up as a scholar with the Lun scarf on his head.And Gu Yunzhang is also dressed as a Confucian student. In Shanghai now, the most vulnerable people are the scholars, because now, when it is time to pay homage to the inferior saint, it is normal for the surrounding students to come to Shanghai.

Sure enough, there was nothing unusual about the two of them entering the city except that they were envied by a good horse.After entering Huzhou, Chen Yan seemed to be unintentionally looking around and counting the number of patrols and squads from just now to the present. "Huzhou is heavily guarded, and you can tell at a glance that these are not prepared for worship." Gu Yuntai suddenly made a sound, and Chen Yan turned back, "How do you see it?"

"I came here at this time two years ago, just passing by, but I also saw the grand occasion of worship. The magistrate of Huzhou prides himself on being a literati, so he doesn't set up too many defenses every year. This year, how? It won't attract suspicion." Gu Yuntai looked around as he spoke, but no students seemed to notice it.

"You must have never really entered the circle of scholars. In these people's minds, they don't care about anything other than the scriptures, policies, and political knowledge." Chen Jian recalled the things he saw when he was under Master Zhu's school. Scholars, now that I think about it, before becoming an official, who was not full of ambition and beautiful in heart.

"Scholars and scholars are the most disdainful existence in the Jianghu. To use the words of a reckless man, they are full of sour words and don't know why." Gu Yuntai chuckled, "Even the famous old men in the Jianghu will frown when they mention literati. "

"Then you, the owner of the Jianghu villa, have entered the lintel of the royal family, what is there to say in the Jianghu?" Chen Yan's voice was slightly soft, but it caused Gu Yunxi to feel gloomy. "Since Wenyuanzhuang got involved with the imperial court, it has disappeared from the Jianghu. What's more, I am the owner of the village." This disappearance refers to Wenyuanzhuang's relationship in the Jianghu and its past existence.As an intelligence and news center, once it disappears, it will be completely, and no one will have anything to do with it.

"Counting it all together, even if I see someone I used to know now, I'm afraid it's still strangers." In one sentence, the indifference and loyalty in the arena are thoroughly pointed out.Being cool means that you can't take care of yourself, and no one will care about others.Loyalty means that you have a better future, so it is not appropriate to have anything to do with the past.

Chen Yan nodded, "Indeed. If my Zhuangzi and property in Jinling were exposed at this time, I'm afraid I would lose more than half of it." Although it was unintentional, it was enough to surprise Gu Yunxi. He knew that Chen Yan was in another place in Jinling. He has property, but he didn't want him to say this before he was completely trustworthy, or did he underestimate Chen Jian's trust in him?

"By the way, this time it's over. I can take you to Zhuangzi to have a look. I have a Zhuangzi under my name, and the Lingnan lychees produced there are quite authentic." Chen Jian simply pointed out that this Lingnan is not Jinling. range.If Gu Yuntai had the heart, he would know what it meant.

"Thank you so much, brother Chen for your kindness." Since it was a secret visit, it was natural to not reveal his identity.Gu Yunxi is a student, and Chen Yan is as good as a follower, "Wherever it is, it can be done with a little effort."

At this moment, students like this can be seen everywhere on the street, because the two of them face each other from time to time, checking the situation on the opposite side, and they didn't attract anyone's attention.

The auspicious time for worship is approaching, and the light sandalwood incense in the temple has already floated out. Chen Jian and Gu Yuntang glanced at each other, then flashed into an alley, hid the horses, and rolled up the large sleeves of the Confucian robes , turned into a strong outfit, flashed out from the dark alley, and went straight to the government office.

At this time, none of the officials in Huzhou got off their horses, not only because there was a student feast in the year after the year, so as not to shake the hearts of scholars, they kept it secret, but also left room for some people to manipulate.

There is nothing suspicious about the place where files are placed in the magistrate's internal office, and there is not even a file that should have been there. It can be seen that there is no case at all when the incident happened here.

Chen Jian rummaged through the white paper on the desk, secretly thinking that this senior brother who had never seen him before was really meticulous in his work, without leaving a trace. "How could there be no trace at all."

"This magistrate of Shanghai, is your classmate?" Gu Yunxi was holding a copy of "Shi Shuo" personally approved by Master Zhu, which was the same as that on Chen Jian's bookshelf. Although the content on it was different from Chen Jian's book, the handwriting was indeed Zhu Master's handwriting.You must know that Master Zhu will not comment on anyone except his own disciples.

"Yeah, it's just that I didn't have the chance to see it." Chen Jian suddenly saw a hidden compartment under the desk, and gently opened it, "This prefect of Shanghai is my senior brother, but he was born too early. You can also see it from this behavior." He has never forgotten the teachings of the master." In the hidden compartment, several unopened letters were revealed.Chen Jian chuckled and took out the letter.With a small dagger fastened in his hand, he gently cut the envelope from the seal.

"The same master taught me, how can I be so surprised." Gu Yuntai took the opened letter, asked casually, and kept looking in his eyes.

"It varies from person to person." These letters are pleading letters from the officials involved to the magistrate when the incident happened in the South years ago. day.But I don't know, my senior brother probably didn't take this matter to heart.Master Zhu once taught that if the matter is of great importance, scholars only seek self-protection, not adulteration.It's just that among the scholars, I don't include myself.

"Brother, you are probably waiting for people from the capital to come and deal with it." Gu Yunzhang felt a little chilled, a scholar, is he alone?Seeing Gu Yunzhang's expression, Chen Yan's mouth turned up slightly, "A scholar should not be moved by the rich and powerful, nor broken by the strong wind, but only for the peace and prosperity of the land and water, so as to live up to his original intention."

The room was silent, Gu Yuntai tapped the table, that's it.
