Chapter 247 Changes
"Haha, Queen Mother. Can you please let everyone sit down first and talk later?" Shangguan Taiqing was also very surprised that the two met each other, but on the surface he was still very calm and spoke to break the deadlock in the hall.
Shangguan Wanrong realized at once that everyone had been standing there for a long time, how could they behave properly, and quickly greeted Chen Yue to take a seat.
Everyone sat down in order, the Queen Mother sat in the main seat, Zhou Zhifeng sat next to the Queen Mother, Shangguan Taiqing and Chen Yue sat opposite each other on both sides of the hall, with clear priorities.
The atmosphere at the banquet was relatively harmonious. What the Queen Mother said during the banquet was nothing more than commending Chen Yue on behalf of the emperor. Chen Yue had worked hard and made great achievements, and he should serve the country well in the future.
Shangguan Taiqing also praised Chenyue and Liangzhou Army from time to time, and frequently raised his glass to drink with Chenyue.
Zhou Zhifeng's eyes glanced at Chenyue from time to time, feeling very surprised in his heart.
At such an age, he can already talk to his uncle and his mother in a polite manner, neither humble nor overbearing. There is obviously a hint of wooing in his uncle's tone.
There was a glimmer of light in Zhou Zhifeng's eyes, and that resolute and youthful face made her heart beat faster unconsciously and her cheeks turned red.
"Feng'er." The Queen Mother suddenly called out, waking Zhou Zhifeng out of his daze: "How did you and General Chen know each other? Tell us."
Zhou Zhifeng panicked and recounted what happened in Lingzhou before. He only focused on the part where he was rescued by Chen Yue. The part where the conflict occurred in the wine shop was mentioned in one sentence. Zhou Zhifeng was really embarrassed to recall it.
That experience.
It turned out that Zhou Zhifeng was bored in the palace at that time, and the war in the southern border reached a stalemate again, so he sneaked out of the palace with a dozen imperial guards and went all the way south to the Lingzhou area, hoping to go to the front line.
As a result, all the guards were dead when they returned. Only after being pressed by Shangguan Wanrong did he reveal the incident of the attack.
Shangguan Wanrong was shocked and frightened after hearing this, so she confined Zhou Zhifeng to Cining Palace.
Shangguan Wanrong originally knew all these things, but he didn't know that it was Chenyue who saved people.
After listening to Zhou Zhifeng explain the reason for the incident, the Queen Mother's face suddenly became more serious. She raised her glass to Chenyue in person and said: "Marquis of Beiliang, I didn't expect that you saved my little girl's life. I'd like to toast you."
Chenyue waved his hands quickly: "Queen Mother, this is impossible. There is no reason for the Queen Mother to toast to her ministers. I don't think that the court official could just watch the eldest princess in danger and not save her."
Shangguan Wanrong said seriously: "This glass of wine is not to honor you as the Queen Mother, but as a mother. You are my daughter's savior, so this glass of wine must be honored!"
Zhou Zhifeng, who was beside her, also followed her mother in raising her wine glass.
Seeing this, Chen Yue could not refuse, so he had no choice but to raise his wine glass and drink it down in one gulp.
Shangguan Taiqing on the side looked at Zhou Zhifeng's strange expression thoughtfully, and suddenly asked: "General Chen, I wonder if you have a family?"
Zhou Zhifeng, who had just put down his wine glass, felt his heart tremble, his pretty face turned red, and he looked at Chen Yue expectantly.
Chenyue nodded without hesitation: "I got married two years ago."
Upon hearing that Chenyue had married, a flash of disappointment flashed in Zhou Zhifeng's eyes.
Shangguan Taiqing's expression did not change at all, and he said with a smile: "General Chen has already been appointed as the Jiedushi of Beiliang Road at a young age, and was given the title of Marquis of Beiliang. He is a leader among people. I believe General Chen's wife is also
He must be a virtuous and virtuous person!”
"No, no, Sir Shangguan has given me the reward." Chen Yue responded with a smile, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart as to why he suddenly talked about marrying a wife.
Several people chatted for a long time in the main hall. It was getting late at night, and just when Chen Yue was about to stand up and say goodbye, something unexpected happened.
A eunuch hurriedly walked into the hall, bowed and said: "Queen Mother, it's bad, something happened!"
Shangguan Wanrong, who was originally cheerful, said with some displeasure on her face: "What can I do at this late hour? Didn't you see that I am entertaining the Marquis of Beiliang?"
The eunuch's body trembled slightly and he said, "Something happened to the Marquis' Liangzhou camp."
Chenyue frowned, what could happen to the Liangzhou military camp outside the city?
Shangguan Wanrong was a little surprised when he heard this and asked: "Something happened in the Liangzhou camp? What happened?"
The eunuch who reported the news quickly replied: "Tonight in the evening, several young men in the city drank too much, and suddenly wanted to go to the Liangzhou camp to have a look. As a result, they were stopped by Liangzhou soldiers at the gate of the camp. Those young men were stopped by Liangzhou soldiers.
Taking advantage of Jiu Jin, he had a quarrel with the Liangzhou Army, verbally abused him, and rammed the hearse in the Liangzhou Army Camp. Then, and then..."
"Then what happened!" Shangguan Taiqing's face darkened and he shouted from the side.
There was already some cold sweat on the eunuch's forehead. He glanced at Chenyue with some fear and continued: "Then those young masters had their legs broken by the Liangzhou Army and are now detained in the military camp. The heads of several aristocratic families
Hearing this, he was furious and forced the large number of people from Jingzhao Yin Mansion to go to the military camp to ask for people. Now the officials of Jingzhao Yin Mansion were confronting the Liangzhou army outside the Liangzhou military camp. The Liangzhou soldiers were very excited and the situation was a bit uncomfortable.
wonderful."
As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, he seemed to remember something again, and then reported the names of those aristocratic families.
Chenyue's eyes turned cold and he remained silent.
Shangguan Taiqing and others were stunned. This Liangzhou army was really ruthless. After all, he was also the son of a noble family in the capital. This leg was broken as soon as it was broken.
However, Shangguan Taiqing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the names of those aristocratic families. They were not big families, just second-rate families in the capital.
Moreover, these people are neither from our own camp nor from the Yuwen family. They have no backing and cannot make big waves.
Shangguan Wanrong was a little confused as to why the Liangzhou soldiers were so cruel. She looked at Chenyue and asked, "General Chen, what is the hearse in the army?"
Shangguan Taiqing and Zhou Zhifeng also raised their heads and looked at Chenyue, wondering why there was a hearse in the Liangzhou Army.
Chenyue said expressionlessly: "Those are the ashes of the 40,000 soldiers of Liangzhou who died in the southern border. I want to take them home."
Zhou Zhifeng's face suddenly turned cold. She was also a person who hated evil very much. The soldiers who fought for the country were still attacked after their death. The sins of those aristocratic families were really unforgivable.
Shangguan Taiqing immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately said: "Queen Mother, without further ado, summon Pang Xiuyuan, Yin of the Jingzhao Prefecture, to the palace immediately to avoid making things worse! The generals in charge of the Liangzhou army should also enter the palace together.
."
After saying this, Shangguan Taiqing cast a look at Chenyue.
Chenyue said: "Let Xue Meng from the army enter the palace."
"Okay!" Shangguan Wanrong also made a decisive decision: "Go to the Liangzhou camp to deliver the oral instructions and ask Yin Pangda and General Xue of Jingzhao Prefecture to enter the palace immediately!"
Chenyue also raised his head and said: "By the way, tell Xue Meng, just tell me my order and tell the soldiers not to act rashly!"
"promise!"
