The owner can be his wife

The army did not move, but the ministers who had stood in the cold wind for half an hour moved. Zhongshu ordered Ji Weisheng to bring the ministers who were behind him to meet him, and the prince on one side beat his hands secretly and followed with flick of his sleeves. Behind him, the sixth son Cheng Wang and the second son Qin Wang are half a step behind.Zhong Shuling saw the crown prince stepping forward, and cleverly gave up the leading position to the crown prince. A group of people stepped on it, and the flowers and mud and snow on the ground failed miserably.

"His Royal Highness welcomes you personally, I am ashamed to be that!" Seeing the prince and his party, Xia Houyin rode his horse forward and dismounted fifteen steps away from the prince to show respect.All the soldiers behind them also got off their horses one after another, and landed on the ground of flowers, the flower juice mixed with snow water seeped from their feet.The soldiers on the side were slightly moved. This scene seemed to bring them back to the battlefield where the war had just ended.But the breath different from the battlefield made them calm down slowly.

"The marshal worked hard all the way, and came with him alone, and he prepared a banquet for the marshal and all the soldiers in the palace." The road ahead is not too far, but the impact caused by the snow after the flowers were trampled still made everyone feel a little bit nervous. uncomfortable.

Entering the main hall, the hall under the bright red carpet is bright and gorgeous. Chen Jian and Yu Wenchang looked at each other, and they pushed Si Kongxiang to the front.Sikong Xiang yelled, "Ah, ah, it's so dazzling, I just came back from the battlefield. What are you doing with this blood, change it to brown, ah no, change the hall, change the hall!"

Si Kongxiang has a special status, even today he has to be tolerant. The prince looked at the scene in front of him and the faces of the officials, smiling but his clenched fists were already turning white.Chen Yan's face was calm, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him, his eyes were empty, his expression was a little tense, and the ribbed muscles on his cheeks were faintly visible.

Zhongshuling coughed lightly, "General Sikong, this place is not for you. This place is for Princess Hongyuan's wedding in ten days' time."

Looking at the eyes of the people around him, he knew that everyone was not notified about this matter at all. Ji Weisheng rolled up his robe sleeves and looked at King Yan. Chen Jian nodded slightly, and he curled his lips. Come on, the Princess Qianchao will be able to marry in ten days.

For a former princess, no one cares about whether she gets married or not. As for when she will get married, it depends on when it will be announced today.Zhong Shuling thinks about the paperwork that Chen Yu wrote, is it considered as one completed?In a few words, a young girl who was still living in Xiyuan in the harem was doomed for life, and even without knowing it, she was suddenly told that she would get married in ten days.

Looking at Zhongshuling who obviously helped him out of the siege with such a far-fetched reason, the prince was not grateful but became wary of Zhongshuling.As the saying goes, Zhao Gao pointed out that a deer is a horse to distinguish traitors, and vice versa, it is obviously a horse. If you insist on calling it a deer, anyone can see that this is what he did.But for this loss, he has to eat even if he doesn't eat it.

Old Liucheng King suddenly let out a sneer, "Weak scholar, it's just a little arrangement to make this face, you General Huaihua, you might as well leave it to me."

The people in front turned their heads and looked at King Yan with a stiff face, and then at King Cheng with a contemptuous expression. Although they all knew that King Cheng was making trouble for no reason, King Yan's expression did make everyone realize that this arrangement is very important to the soldiers. Impact.King Qin frowned slightly, but didn't say a word. He was not in good health, and it was already an effort to welcome him. Now he really didn't want to participate in the fight between brothers.

The silent silence seemed to be reminding the creators of everything, even the marching crowd had stopped for a while, Chen Jian looked relaxed, "If the sixth brother wants to, he can fight for one on the battlefield in Nanman. After all, the sixth brother is young, so it's good to exercise." "The battlefield in the southeast is known to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially the climate there is very different from that of the Central Plains. It should be a place that the soldiers should be afraid of, but they can make a mess there. Go there for two years. , It is still very easy to pick up a military merit.

King Cheng seemed to be annoyed by King Yan's sarcasm, "The real man will go to the north to meet the Huns, and I will ask my father for orders tomorrow!" After finishing speaking, King Cheng walked away in a huff.Chen Yan smiled at the corner of his mouth, "The child is messing around, how can the father be willing to let him fight."

In a word, the faces of the people present were mixed, the most colorful one was undoubtedly the prince, the oldest prince, his only weakness was that he had never served in the army, at this time, Chen Jian alluded to it, and the prince's face trembled slightly.

The crown prince's embarrassment did not last long, or rather, everyone could ignore such a fact, but Si Kongxiang's blood stab hula has already been imprinted in the hearts of all the officials.

The banquet hall where the banquet was held in the palace was actually behind the main hall arranged by the crown prince. Border officers and soldiers sat on the table on both sides, and the slim maids entered one by one, holding seasonal fruits, nectar, and delicacies in their hands.The court music sounded, and smiles gradually appeared on the faces of Lu Zhihan and others.

The warm hall, the sound of silk and bamboo, the slender figure of the dancing girl, and the warm and mellow fragrance different from that of border spirits gradually made everyone's nerves begin to relax.A sharp voice came, and Chen Yu's arrival caused everyone in the hall to stand up one after another.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Although he drank to relax, the soldier's spirit did not dissipate in the slightest.The neat and solemn atmosphere immediately dissipated the joyous atmosphere in the hall.

Chen Yu stepped onto the main seat, his lips trembling slightly.After waving his hand to signal to Director Zhou, Zhou Chengji took out the imperial decree, "The emperor's decree says, all officers and men accept the decree!"

Several people walked to the center, with Xia Houyin at the head, Chen Jian at the bottom left, and the rest knelt down one by one. Zhou Chengji continued to proclaim the decree, except for Xia Houyin who was granted the title of Duke Protector, and Chen Jian who was promoted to the Duke of the County, and everyone else received A reward for being promoted to a higher level.Joy lingered between their brows, and the soldiers really relaxed after receiving the decree to thank them.Those who join the army, apart from the enthusiasm for defending the frontier and protecting the land, are for the military merits and rewards.

Then, on the list of the dead presented by Xia Houyin, the prince saw Chang Lianqing's name, and the prince's face changed slightly. Looking at Xia Houyin below, the corner of his mouth smiled slightly.

Chen Yu once again rewarded these heroes who died in battle, and the banquet continued. "Mingde, how is your health?" There was a small crack in the cup in Chen Yan's hand, and he bowed to stand up, "Thank you for your concern, my son is fine." The person on the throne is closer to himself.

"You are young after all, and you don't know the seriousness. You need to take good care of your body. Let the imperial doctor examine you first. Otherwise, I don't worry about it." Chen Yu's concern makes the eyes of the discerning people look at King Yan even more meaningful. No one believed what happened in the palace. The emperor's words were obviously to protect the prince, but he gave King Yan the highest title among the princes. It was the first time that the emperor conferred a title for three years after he ascended the throne.The prince's political ability and the strength of his mother's family are considerable. In addition, everyone and the prince have worked together in these years, and they are basically in the same team. However, King Yan has military achievements. It cannot be said that Yan Wang will be worse than the prince in political affairs.However, thinking of King Yan’s background, everyone’s shaking hearts stopped a little. There was a prince in front, King Cheng in the back, and even the sickly King Qin had a mother from a scholarly family. Wang suffered a big loss.After all, it is impossible for the emperor to pass on the throne to a prince who cannot control Chao Gang at all.

Retreating to the side hall, Chen Jian didn't hide the coldness on his body, Imperial Physician Liu twirled his beard, and followed the emperor's order to feel Chen Jian's pulse. "It's bitterly cold at the border. It's good for the prince to rest in court for a while. The residual poison on his body has been gone. It seems that the coma at the border is the onset of the residual poison."

"Thank you, the imperial physician," Chen Yan smiled, "When the imperial physician reports to you, please tell Father, I feel a little unwell, so I'll go back home first."

"I will tell you. Don't worry, my lord, everything in the mansion is fine." Imperial Physician Liu whispered, but Chen Jian didn't respond, got up and walked out from the side door.Only two hours before returning to Beijing, a new heavy snow has already fallen.

In Prince Yan's Mansion, there is a beautiful girl lying sideways on the soft couch in the study room, in the secret room below, Chen Jian sits on the main seat, Shen Qing stands behind, and in front of him is Zhongshuling Ji Weisheng.

Ji Weisheng explained to Chen Jian the current division of power in the court, three provinces and six ministries, any change must go through him, but he is the one who can't stand in line the most, and only by not standing in line can he help her child.

"Now the power of the prince is in several powerful officials, basically,"

"Basically, he can intervene in the entire internal affairs, but I can't take a single step in it." Chen Jian's eyes flashed with interest, he got up and stood in front of Zhong Shuling, and bowed deeply.

"The old minister dare not!" Zhong Shuling stood up and returned the salute, with a smile on his face, "Actually, His Highness is not too difficult to move, it just depends on how His Highness plans to go next."

Chen Jian didn't say a word, and now the development of the officials in the court is like a game of go in his mind. He wants to find a crack and penetrate bit by bit.But it obviously takes time, and he can afford it.

"Uncle Ji, do you know Gu Qiyuan from the previous dynasty?" Chen Jian turned his head and changed the subject.

"Gu Qiyuan is also a talent, but it's a pity that it was a mistake." Ji Weisheng shook his head, "This person was the first in the palace examination at the time, but he was arrogant and unruly, which angered the Sui Emperor. , but I heard that a Wenyuanzhuang in the early years had some relationship with him. It's just that this Wenyuanzhuang has become a wilderness in recent years, and people like Gu Qiyuan would disdain to be in it."

Ji Weisheng's words made Chen Yan chuckle, "Uncle Ji, this Wenyuanzhuang is different from Jianghu Caomang. His intelligence network is almost all over Hanbang, and there may be people from them in any corner. And these years, they have sold information through The money earned is probably more than the silver in the treasury."

"How did Your Highness know about this?" Ji Weisheng was a literati after all, he could have insight into the affairs of the court, but he knew very little about the world outside the temple.

"Wenyuanzhuang and I have some friendship." Chen Ji didn't elaborate, firstly, he knew that Ji Weisheng would not understand these immediately, and secondly, he didn't want to waste time on this. "Uncle Ji, I'm [-]% sure that Gu Qiyuan is in Wenyuanzhuang, and his power is no less powerful than that of a temple. Therefore, I want to ask Uncle something."

"Your Highness, but it's okay to say." Ji Weisheng cupped his hands, King Yan seldom asked him for anything, if it was not important, King Yan would not say it here.

"The current owner of Wenyuanzhuang is Gu Yunyu, who was adopted by Gu Qiyuan more than 21 years ago. I want to ask my uncle to help me find out. [-] years ago, on the seventh day of December, maybe his birthday was that day, maybe , this date is the date when Gu Qiyuan brought him back. Gu Yuntai is of great use to me, please trouble uncle." After speaking, Chen Jian saw Ji Weisheng's look of reminiscence.

"21 years ago, it was the time when Gu Qiyuan won the first place in the imperial examination and was released. Could it be that they already had power 21 years ago?" Ji Weisheng smacked his lips and confirmed, "I remember that there were many things in Beijing that year, but at that time I'm still a small Beijing official, and there are many things I can't touch, but I still have a little impression that the Sui Emperor pardoned the world when the seventeenth prince of the previous dynasty was born."

"The Seventeenth Prince?" Chen Jian immediately became suspicious when he heard this title, but Ji Weisheng soon denied it, "The Seventeenth Prince is still in Ciyun Temple. He became a monk when the previous dynasty was destroyed. There will be no mistakes."

"If you want to talk about suspicious things, that is, the king of Huainan seemed to have lost something. I heard that it was a jade inkstone. He searched for it from house to house in the capital. He almost killed all the beggars in the capital." Ji Weisheng's clues are very To be precise, Chen Jian tapped on the table, "The King of Huainan was the prince of the previous dynasty, but he surrendered to our side without a fight. According to his nature, he shouldn't have made such a big move."

It can be said that King Huainan was the earliest group of surrenders from the previous dynasty. King Huainan was violent by nature, but he was as timid as a mouse. Germany.Now it seems that he is not so simple.

Ji Weisheng also sensed the meaning of Chen Jian's words, with a serious expression on his face, "I'll go back and check. If there's anything I need, I'll ask Imperial Physician Liu to report it to you."

"it is good."
