After some small talk, the two Chen brothers were really impressed by His Highness. He actually had ambitions to rejuvenate the country at such a young age. This sentiment alone made countless people ashamed. And he chose Guangzhou.
Although we are not greedy for the prosperous and prosperous land, we still do not forget our intention to go to Qiongzhou. This kind of sentiment is even more admirable.
"Your Highness, I heard that the army is being recruited in the palace. Is it going well?" Chen Renweng suddenly asked.
"Alas, Qiongzhou is a barbaric place, the world is as fearful as a tiger, and applicants are not eager to apply." Zhao Bing sighed.
"The world is really in decline. It is the time to repay the kindness of the king when the country is destroyed, but the common people are greedy for things outside themselves. It is really sad and deplorable!" Chen Renweng beat the bed with his hands and said sadly and indignantly.
"It must not be said like this. Everyone has a feeling of pity for their hometown. It is understandable that it is difficult to leave their hometown. It cannot be generalized. This time we attacked the volunteers from various villages in Guangzhou to help the army, so that we could easily capture the city. This shows that they also have loyalty to the emperor.
." Zhao Bing shook his hand and said.
"Your Highness is so benevolent and righteous!" Chen Zeweng sighed, and his heart also stirred up. His Highness did not think that those ordinary people were unwilling to join the army to serve the country. Instead, His Highness defended the ordinary people. He was much better than those bureaucrats who regarded the people as nothing.
"Even though they were like this, His Highness also ordered that the confiscated fields be distributed to the people and tenants who lost their land. They really lived up to Your Highness' love for the people." At this time, Hao Yuntong, who had just participated in the meeting, interrupted.
"Your Highness, I would like to join the commander's residence as a soldier, is it possible?" Chen Renweng asked with a thought in his heart.
"Sigh... Chen Qianshi is a young hero who fights bravely and manages the army well. I have heard about it for a long time. It is what I want to be able to join my commander-in-chief's mansion. But now you are a soldier and horse Qianshi in Guangdong and you are not part of my commander-in-chief's mansion."
I have no choice but to give up my subordinates." Zhao Bing said with a look of regret. He really wanted to call him into the palace, considering that he had a bunch of old men, and the new generation of generals under him had not yet been trained, and there were already gaps.
What is lacking is a young general, who is only twenty-six years old and can just fill the vacancy.
"Your Highness, I can resign from my position as a minister and then join the army of the commander-in-chief." Chen Renweng said in a hurry.
"Chen Qianshi, that's not allowed!"
"Your Highness, do you think Lin Weng is incompetent?"
"Chen Qianshi. This is not the case for my rejection... I had some quarrels with Deputy Privy Councilor Zhang when I was in Jiazi, so we can only stop here!" Zhao Bing hesitated and said, "Just rest in peace in the mansion and don't do anything.
He thought, this king still has something to do, so he took his leave!"
"Dean Hao, why did His Highness and Deputy Ambassador Zhang have a dispute?" Chen Zeweng asked Hao Yuntong who was packing the medicine box after seeing off the prince.
"Alas, it's annoying to talk about this!" Hao Yuntong sighed, "At that time, His Highness took in many volunteers, but the court refused to allocate them because of the shortage of food reserves. Seeing that the food was about to be exhausted, His Highness spent all his money to send people to Guangzhou to buy food.
Fortunately, two ships of grain were bought back before the fall. However, the grain ship was intercepted by the Yingzhou Army when it entered the port. They wanted to take the grain by force, but His Highness sent people to take it back. The two governments became suspicious of each other. After that, Deputy Ambassador Zhang wanted to steal the grain.
, His Highness saw through the ruse, and not only did he not get any advantage, but he was taught a lesson by His Highness, which caused the two governments to turn against each other."
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Chen Zeweng said in disbelief.
"I was in the palace at the time, and this is absolutely true. The rumors about His Highness going to Qiongzhou were also strongly recommended by Deputy Envoy Zhang. He was motivated by revenge and wanted to drive His Highness out of the court." Hao Yuntong couldn't help shaking his head as he spoke, and picked up the medicine.
Box sighed and left...
After sending the two people away, Chen Zeweng asked his servants to take care of them, then beat them all out and closed the door. The brothers sat facing each other and sighed at the same time. They understood the root of His Highness's unwillingness to accept him. Chen Renweng's Guangdong soldiers
Ma Qianshi was originally appointed by Zhang Shijie, but His Highness had a conflict with him, so it was naturally inconvenient to talk about it.
"It's really unreasonable. A prime minister of the current dynasty dares to use both soft and hard tactics to scheme against a child. How shameless!" Chen Renweng was silent for a moment and said in a serious tone, "Brother, is His Highness unwilling to accept me because he is worried that Deputy Ambassador Zhang will cause trouble for him again?"
"You are wrong. His Highness's refusal to accept you is definitely not because you are afraid of him." Chen Zeweng shook his head and said, "You think His Highness dared to snatch back the grain ship with only a group of volunteers in his hands, and then resorted to countermeasures. How could he be cowardly?
He is now holding tens of thousands of powerful troops and is out of town, so he will not be afraid. I think His Highness is considering the overall situation and does not want to completely fall out with him over this matter, thereby affecting the restoration of the country."
"Brother, what I'm saying is that Vice Envoy Zhang always comes here to ask for soldiers and pay, which is good to think about. But now that the people are in poverty, he doesn't show any pity, which is really disappointing. But His Highness knows how to sympathize with his subordinates and care about the people.
One day, we will be able to achieve our foundation." Chen Renweng said. The two brothers are very different in age. People who don't know often mistake him for father and son, but he treats his brother like a father, so he is naturally very convinced.
"Are you determined to join the army of the Commander-in-Chief?" Chen Zeweng looked at his brother and said seriously. He knew that his brother was a kind and righteous person, and His Highness personally treated him and saved his life because he wanted to repay the favor sincerely. Although His Highness is young, he is also important.
Yi also means to cherish each other.
"Brother, does he also have this intention? Alas, His Highness is just worried about the court and is afraid that he will not be accepted!" Chen Renweng was startled, but then he thought about it and said sadly.
"Now is the time when the commander's army is starting to recruit troops. You and I still have three thousand volunteers in our hands, and His Highness also wants to recruit you. As long as you are sincere, His Highness will not refuse. But there are some tricks to avoid it.
It’s difficult for Your Highness to do this.” Chen Zeweng thought for a while and said.
"Brother has a plan?! Tell me quickly." Chen Renweng said excitedly when he saw that things were turning around.
"I'm afraid you will suffer some more, are you willing?" Chen Zeweng asked.
"Everyone has died once, so a little suffering is nothing!" Chen Renweng said nonchalantly...
…………
The backyard of the government office is where His Highness lives, and the three courtyards are where the prince rests. They are all managed by the inner government. Even if it is strictly forbidden to enter without His Highness's permission, it is the most exclusive place in the mansion. But Zheng Huchen
It seemed that he was not subject to this restriction. He only showed his waist card, and the little yellow gate guard on duty let him go. And since he took charge of the Secretariat, he has become invisible. Sometimes the meeting in the mansion requires the Secretariat to participate, and everyone can only
I have met the deputy envoy, so the new officials only heard his name and never saw his true appearance.
In fact, Zheng Huchen is rarely in the palace. The sign of the Secretariat is hung in the palace, and usually only a few clerks are there. Others choose to be stationed in other places and do not work in the same office as other departments. One can avoid people's eyes and ears.
