Autumn is gradually approaching.
After careful planning, it has been more than two months since Chen Chao returned to the capital of God.
Today, Chen Chao changed his clothes, but they were still black robes. He was covered in one piece after another. It was difficult to have any other style. Fortunately, he, the guardian envoy, was used to it. Apart from official robes, he only wore black robes.
robe.
But he is like this, but several disciples are not like this. Yu Qingfeng changed into a blue robe today. The quality is good. It seems that Xie Nandu bought it for a few people when he was still in the city of gods. Xie Nandu is flawless in these matters. Not only did he even
The child's current clothes are fully prepared, and considering that children like this grow very quickly, I deliberately left a few sets of clothes that looked a lot too big before but now just fit.
He Liang didn't deliberately change into any particularly good clothes, but just changed into a clean gray cloth shirt. He looked like a scholar. As for the little girl Ning Qingnian, she had always disliked those floral dresses that other girls of the same age liked.
Wearing a plain white dress, she looked very good.
In addition to his three apprentices, who are going to have a meal together today, there is also the master and apprentice pair Yu Xiyi. Yu Xiyi is still wearing a green shirt. His green shirt is actually made of a special material and will not stain the clothes, no matter what he wears.
No matter how long it takes, no matter how you look at it, you will still be spotless. But even so, if you wear it for too long, Jiang Xiaoan, a closed disciple, will still complain about his master, saying that he doesn't care about his image at all, so he needs to change his clothes frequently.
, Otherwise, how can I find a mistress for myself?
However, Yu Xiyi laughed every time, obviously not caring about this matter. However, even though he had fallen in love with such a master, Jiang Xiaoan himself deliberately changed into a floral yellow skirt. The skirt was the one worn by his mother.
I just bought it made of fabric a while ago, and this is the first time I’ve worn it.
When a group of six people arrived at the door of Song Lian's house, Weng Quan, who had been waiting here for a long time, ran over and looked at Chen Chao with a happy face, "Sir, you are finally here."
When Chen Chao was still the deputy commander of the Zuowei, Weng Quan, an official of the Zuowei, naturally had to meet each other every time Chen Chao returned to the capital, but now Chen Chao is already the guard envoy, and the court meeting
He has not participated these times, so this is actually the first time the two of them have met.
Chen Chao glanced at him and tutted, "You can already see the sea of misery right now. It won't be long before you reach the other side, right?"
Weng Quan chuckled, "It's my second uncle who taught me well."
As Song Lian's nephew, Weng Quan has suffered a lot in recent years. After all, such a forgetful uncle would take Weng Quan to practice boxing from time to time, and he didn't hold back his hands at all when they joined hands, which made Weng Quan every time
They all had bruises and swollen faces. Seeing Weng Quan's behavior, the officials at Zuo Wei who didn't know about this relationship started teasing him about whether he was spying on a girl from another house taking a bath.
Weng Quan didn't argue about this, he just practiced boxing silently.
Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "Hurry up and practice your boxing well. When you reach the Wangyou Realm, you can choose the commanders of the left and right guards."
Weng Quan murmured, "As a commander, do you have to forget your worries now?"
Chen Chao heard this and smiled without saying a word.
In the early years, the commanders of the left and right guards were just the other side. When Chen Chao was the deputy commander, his level was not high, but after all, things are different now. Compared with the number of monks in the past, the number of monks in Daliang now is small.
It has already doubled several times.
Even the Guarding Envoy lineage was recruited by the Chen Dynasty. Two people were top-notch in the world. In fact, besides these two people, there were many others who later chose to be loyal to Daliang, but not all of them were of the Guarding Envoy lineage.
, and more were arranged elsewhere by Chen Chao.
But no matter what, in a large Liang Dynasty, not only did he, the guardian envoy, sit at the top, but many people also came in from below to strengthen itself.
Today's Liang Dynasty can be considered a behemoth.
But to restrain the monks and monks who poured into Daliang, in addition to Daliang Law, he, the guardian envoy, was also needed to be there all the time.
All the time, even if they don't do anything, those monks will think twice before doing anything, because if they do something wrong, the Lord Guardian will take action. As for killing people or something else, they don't dare to think about it.
As the saying goes, there are not many true like-minded people.
When they entered the courtyard, they were greeted not by Song Lian, but by that woman. She was glowing with glory. She looked much better than when she first met her when she was still doing laundry.
Chen Chao smiled and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you, sister-in-law."
Talking, He Liangti
When you walk out with your things and go out to have a meal, you still need to have basic etiquette.
The woman looked at what He Liang was carrying and complained a little, "Come for a casual meal, what should you bring?"
Chen Chao smiled and said, "It's not a valuable thing. If my sister-in-law doesn't accept it, I won't be able to eat this meal."
While he was talking, He Liang had already carried the things into the house. The woman had no choice but to roll her eyes at Song Lian, then turned around and went into the house to continue cooking.
Chen Chao came to Song Lian's side, touched the elder brother's shoulder with his shoulder, and asked with a smile, "You are really powerless?"
Song Lian had a serious face and was about to refute, but Chen Chao quickly changed the subject and asked, "What did the Shanshui Sect say?"
Chen Chao left the affairs of Shanshui Sect to Song Lian.
Song Lian nodded and said softly, "I went to the Shanshui Sect once and we had a good conversation, but the sect leader still wants you to go there in person."
Chen Chao raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it me, not His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Song Lian said helplessly, "It's you."
Now, in the eyes of these Fangwai monks outside, the Crown Prince of Liang Dynasty was nominally the one who made the final decision, but in fact it was the Chen Chao who had the final say, especially in matters concerning them, the Fangwai monks.
In fact, just for this point, if it were an ordinary emperor, things would definitely happen if the emperor and his ministers became suspicious. However, this does not seem to be the case in the Liang Dynasty today.
"Originally, I planned that if you couldn't negotiate, I would ask our Yu Da Sword Immortal to go over there and show off his sword energy."
Chen Chao glanced at Yu Xiyi, who frowned and said with an ugly expression, "How come you, surnamed Chen, ask me to do anything that tarnishes your reputation? My reputation as a great swordsman has changed even when I am with you.
It’s so smoky.”
Chen Chao asked curiously, "What? Does Yu Dajianxian still think he has any good reputation?"
Yu Xiyi rolled his eyes and was too lazy to say anything.
Song Lian smiled and said, "If Yu Dajianxian goes there, I guess they will be trembling with fear. Although he may not really agree to this matter, he at least dare not refuse it explicitly."
Yu Xiyi became even more angry after hearing this, "Old Song, who do you think I am? A bandit?"
Song Lian asked, "Isn't it?"
As soon as he said these words, Yu Xiyi said three good words in a row and gritted his teeth. It is estimated that this great swordsman will only be able to continue to suffer from the Chen Dynasty in this life.
Chen Chao said with a straight face, "Do you want me to expose all the lies you said to my disciples before?"
"What are you doing? Aren't we brothers who died? What's yours and mine? Do you still remember such a small thing? It doesn't make sense. It's just a joke. What a big deal."
Yu Xiyi scratched his head with a flattering look on his face.
As Yu Da Sword Immortal, when he walks in the world, doesn't he care most about his face?
"Then I'll go there some time."
Chen Chao rubbed his cheeks and smiled. It didn't matter that he went to the Shanshui Sect, as long as he could finalize the matter.
Song Lian asked, "What about the imperial court?"
Chen Chao said, "Actually, the resistance is not small, but I have met Zhou Wolfberry before."
"Mr. Zhou?"
Now Zhou Gouqi is the acting dean of the academy, and he is also a scholar who forgets his worries. Although his status is not comparable to that of the dean, in general, it is not much different.
With Zhou Wolfberry speaking on this matter, the resistance will be much smaller.
After all, if the leader of half the world's scholars expresses his position, it won't be a big problem.
Chen Chao said, "I still have to go to the Xie family to meet the Xie Shangshu."
After the fall of the Wei family, the Xie family was already the dominant family in the Liang Dynasty. If the ancestor of the Xie family could express his position, the resistance would be much smaller.
With these two here, other things are actually much easier to handle.
Song Lian sighed with emotion, "If you succeed in this matter, you will truly be the most amazing matchmaker in the world."
Chen Chaoxiang
After thinking for a while, he said, "I still have some experience with this matter. After all, it's not the first time, isn't it?"
Song Lian was startled at first, and then realized belatedly that this guy was talking about himself.
Song Lian laughed. Apart from anything else, he was very grateful to Chen Chao for this incident, even though Chen Chao had not charged him less money before.
Chen Chao suddenly patted Song Lian on the shoulder and said softly, "Thank me before, but don't blame me in the future."
Song Lian, who was extremely clear about the current situation, naturally knew what Chen Chao was talking about. Song Lian smiled nonchalantly and said, "You may not even die by then, so how can I blame you?"
Chen Chao cursed, "Old Song, why do you have a crow's mouth?!"
Song Lian didn't take it seriously and smiled slightly.
Afterwards, a group of people sat at a large round table, drinking a lot and laughing happily.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. After the meal, several apprentices stayed here. Chen Chao called Weng Quan to get up and prepare the carriage to go to the Xie family's ancestral home.
Chen Chao was bored and stood at the door waiting for Weng Quan to go to Zuowei and drive the carriage over.
Yu Xiyi came out at some point, sat down on the threshold, glanced at Chen Chao, and asked, "Where are you going again?"
Chen Chao didn't hide anything from this guy.
Yu Xiyi sneered and said, "I'm really busy."
Chen Chao glanced at Yu Xiyi and thought that idleness was nothing but idleness, so he simply sat down and chatted with Yu Xiyi.
"What do you think of my disciple He Liang?"
Yu Xiyi didn't know why, but he was quite satisfied with He Liang. He nodded and said with a smile, "That boy is really good, obedient, well-behaved, and honest."
Chen Chao came up and smiled and said, "Then you can give your closed disciple to Xiao He?"
"What?!"
A powerful voice broke through the sky, causing everyone at the table in the yard to look towards the door, especially Jiang Xiaoan, who was holding a chicken leg in his hand and looked confused, but then he lowered his head, hey, his master
It's embarrassing again, I have to pretend that I don't know him.
Chen Chao smiled awkwardly inside, then lowered his head and held Yu Xiyi's head, whispering, "What the hell are you going to do?"
Yu Xiyi struggled to break free from Chen Chao's clutches and sneered, "Chen, why didn't I realize that your kid is a beast before? How old is Xiao An, and you're already interested in her? You have thick eyebrows and big eyes, too.
Such people."
Yu Xiyi spat on the ground, and then said, "It's impossible, you should give up!"
Turn around and go back to the house.
Chen Chao twitched the corner of his mouth and cursed in a low voice, "Damn it."
When he raised his head, Chen Chao saw the carriage approaching in the distance.
Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and looked a little ugly.
Weng Quan jumped off the carriage and ran over in a hurry, shouting, "Sir, let's go!"
Chen Chaopi asked with a smile, "This carriage..."
Weng Quan took a breath and said with a smile, "Aren't you anxious, sir? All the other carriages in Zuowei are useful, and this old friend is the only one left."
Chen Chao had no expression on his face, he just patted Weng Quan and sighed silently in his heart.
…
…
Chen Chao visited the Xie family's ancestral house and entered through the middle door as always. If he didn't go through the middle door now, it would not be long before this incident would be known to the whole city, and it would happen again.
There are various speculations.
However, this time Chen Chao did not stay too long at the Xie family's ancestral residence. In less than half an hour, the guardian envoy stood up to say goodbye.
Over at the ancestral temple, the spirit of the white-haired ancestor of the Xie family is much worse than before. As an important minister of several dynasties, this Xie Shangshu is really not young.
Chen Chaoqing said sincerely, "Old Minister, please take care of yourself."
The ancestor of the Xie family looked at Chen Chao with his cloudy eyes, and smiled, his face was like countless ripples on the lake, "I used to hold on and didn't want to die because I didn't know where the Xie family would go after death, but now I have
Xie Yatou, it doesn’t matter, Daliang, it’s good to have you as my son, since I have a successor, what reason do I have not to die?”
Chen Chao moved his lips, but before he could say anything, Mr.
The ancestor smiled and said, "But speaking of it, there is one thing. When will you and Xie Yatou get married?"
"
Nowadays, no matter how you look at it, it’s not a good time.”
How kind of people are the ancestors of the Xie family? How can you be the head of the Xie family for so many years and not know the little thoughts of the Chen Dynasty?
"Isn't it a good time? Come to see me, it's because Xie Yatou didn't nod. You, the guardian envoy, can't do anything about it, right?"
The ancestor of the Xie family sat up and said with a smile, "It's strange that the dignified Lord Guardian, the best in the world, still has something he can't do?"
Chen Chao looked embarrassed. Why did this old guy speak so ruthlessly?
To anyone else, this would be nothing more than asking for a fist fight to see which one is tougher, your mouth or my fist.
But facing this ancestor of the Xie family, if you can't say anything, you really can't say anything.
beat?
You bully an old man who doesn't know how old you are, and you still want to show off?
The ancestor of the Xie family said seriously, "From my point of view, His Highness the Crown Prince wants to marry a girl from outside the country, it's very good. You have suppressed the monks from outside the country too hard, and it is inevitable that they will feel sad.
His Highness the Crown Prince's marriage is a message to Fang Wai that I, Daliang, have never thought about the affairs of the world. I have told you to do it. Is there any room for negotiation in everything? Moreover, this Shanshui Sect originally
It’s not a big deal, and this also gave those monks confidence.”
Chen Chao smiled and said, "This junior really wants to decide everything in the world with just one word."
The ancestor of the Xie family glanced at Chen Chao and sneered, "It's okay if you have such thoughts, but everything in the world started with you and will only end with you. Think about it carefully, after you, there will be people like you in Daliang
A person? Who knows how many cultivating sects have risen because of one person, but also declined because of the death of one person. The most recent example is right in front of you. Your Majesty is such a person. When he was in power, Daliang could let him make decisions with just one word. Today's
Can His Highness the Crown Prince do it? Not to mention whether it can be done temporarily, but even in the future, can it be done?"
The ancestor of the Xie family thought to himself and said, "In the future world, as long as Fang Wai can abide by the Daliang Law and treat the people of the world as human beings, it will be a good thing."
Chen Chao said, "The first sentence is easy to handle, but the last sentence is difficult to handle."
The ancestor of the Xie family narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "You have done a lot, haven't you? The new master of Chixin Temple is a very good monk, but having such a one is not enough. He has just started, so he is slow."
Just wait until it blooms and bears fruit."
"Governing a country is like cooking fresh food. It is a lot of hard work. How can it be done in one or two years? Just to say that Daliang has reached this point, without His Majesty's more than ten years of planning, can it be achieved?"
The ancestor of the Xie family glanced at Chen Chao and sighed, "Girl Xie, I don't need to say more about these principles. You guys have such a bad temper."
Chen Chao remained silent.
"As for the Prime Minister, I am already helpless, but I can recommend someone to you. Master Zhang, who is currently in the academy, also entered the court as an official in the early years and became the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He is famous enough. In addition, he is in
Many students from the academy have become officials. He can stand up as a prime minister. He chose to resign because he couldn't stand His Majesty's ascension to the throne. He was born in a poor family, but he still has compassion for the people of the world.
, now it is most appropriate for him to be the prime minister."
Chen Chao asked curiously, "How can he come out now?"
Since Mr. Zhang was not willing to be an official at the beginning, how could he be willing to do so now?
The ancestor of the Xie family laughed and said, "What is happening in the world at this time and that time? Is he blind and can't see it? In fact, he has regretted it for many years. He knows that your majesty is a better king than the deposed emperor. It's just that scholars want to save face. Now your majesty
When I go to the country, His Highness is in charge, so he will naturally be willing to come out."
Chen Chao nodded and said with a smile, "I understand."
The ancestor of the Xie family smiled slightly and stopped talking. He just looked at Chen Chao with too many emotions in his eyes.
It's like this old man saw in this young man the person he wanted to be but didn't.
Still getting old.
The ancestor of the Xie family sighed and said softly, "The current beams are already owned by young people like you."
