178 The Dangerous Scholar (2 in 1)(1/2)

"My minister, obey the order!"

The emperor ordered a conversation, but Chen Yichen naturally did not dare to refuse, so he stayed in Wenhua Palace with the strange eyes of the ministers.

To be honest, Chen Yichen really didn't want to stay and "get close to" the emperor this time. After all, he rushed over to attend the imperial lecture early in the morning and stood for an hour or two, and he was already hungry.

The legendary imperial "work meal" of the imperial banquet is extremely sumptuous. It was held by the imperial chef of the Forbidden City. Chen Yichen really wanted to try the taste of the imperial banquet.

Everyone retreated, except for the palace servants, there were only Zhu Qizhen, Chen Yichen and Wang Zhen in the Wenhua Hall.

Looking at Chen Yichen standing at His Highness, Zhu Qizhen sighed and said, "Chen Xiangbei, I have already read the obituary of General Mu from Yunnan Prefecture."

"I have also read the letter you posted in the memorial."

After hearing this sentence, Chen Yichen immediately understood why the emperor's attitude changed drastically today because he saw the post he posted.

"Report to your Majesty, I want to..."

Chen Yichen knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with the content of the post, so he prepared to explain a few sentences, explaining that Luchuan's threat was to prevent problems before it happened.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Zhu Qizhen shook his head, forcing Chen Yichen to swallow his explanation.

"In the eighth year of Zhengtong, I appointed Jiang Gui, the Marquis of Dingxi, as the General of Pingman, and led an army of 50,000 to attack Myanmar and Luchuan with Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji. In this battle, Jingyuan Bo directly attacked Huanglong, broke through the nest of the thief Shousijifa, and captured his tribe and his wife and children."

"The King of Burma was frightened by this and submitted to me, and handed over Sijifa's father Sirenfa. The barbarian leader Sijifa feared the power of heaven and did not dare to show up again. He sent envoys to Beijing to pay tribute and apologize. Officials in the court and inside and outside all persuaded me to be kind and politically and dismissed."

"Since Luchuan Dading, Jingyuan Bo returned to the court. I set up the Longchuan Xuanfu Division in the old barbarians. The order of development, education, customs and talents will be transformed, and forthcoming for thousands of years will be the territory of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Chen Xiangbei, come and tell me, what are the threats and fears here?"

Zhu Qizhen became more and more excited when he said these words. He even stood up from the dragon throne behind him.

After all, in Zhu Qizhen's eyes, the result of the conquest of Luchuan was his great military achievements as an emperor to expand territory.

Now Luchuan Manshou is in a state of mind and fleeing but dare not see the light of day. His parents, wife, children and tribes are both captured by the Daming Heavenly Soldiers, and even his hometown is established.

If this is not considered pacified, would it take three feet to dig Luchuan?

In addition to feeling dissatisfied with his denied military achievements, Zhu Qizhen is also in the rebellious period of adolescents and becoming more arrogant and rebellious.

Although he understood in his previous questions and eyes that Chen Yichen's essence was to speak out in a straightforward manner and worry about state affairs.

But this does not mean that Zhu Qizhen is willing to endure it like this. He must let Chen Yichen know where the mistake is and agree that he is a wise ruler of civil and military proficiency.

If you don’t steam buns and try to breathe, it’s Zhu Qizhen’s mood at this moment.

The voice of Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty Zhu Qizhen resounded in Wenhua Hall, causing the palace servants present to tremble.

It seems that over the years, it is rare to see the emperor so excited and disobedient. Chen Xiu wrote some ruthless words in his post, which made this scene come about.

Facing Zhu Qizhen's inquiry, Chen Yichen didn't know how to answer for a moment, and this was the helplessness that could see through future history.

In fact, what the Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, said was right. Wang Ji used the second expedition to Luchuan, and on the surface he occupied the other party's nest and captured the leader Sijifa's wife and children, which was a great victory and returned to the court.

But the problem is that the most important leader did not grasp the thinking method!

Moreover, Chen Yichen was skeptical about this so-called victory report and felt that the water was comparable to that of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, who conquered the three guards of Wurianha in the early nine years of Zhengtong.

Because in the history books, in July of the tenth year of Zhengtong, the subordinates of Sijifa clan robbed the seal of Longchuan Xuanfu envoy, which was ridiculous!

According to normal logic, if the remnants of the Luchuan regime were completely wiped out, can Wang Ji take over the seal of the Xuanfu Department established by the court less than a year after returning to the court?

It’s okay to steal, how rampant it is to steal?

Of course, Chen Yichen is now in July of the tenth year of Zhengtong, and he cannot determine whether the historical event will happen as scheduled. And even if it happens, the news will be transmitted from Yunnan to the capital, so that Zhu Qizhen will know it may be a few months later.

It is unreasonable to say that Chen Yichen really cannot produce evidence to refute the great military achievements Zhu Qizhen said.

If you take a step back, even if you can take it out, you can no longer compete with the emperor under this situation.

An emperor is an emperor, and his mistake doesn’t mean you can be right!

Looking at Chen Yichen speechless, Wang Zhen had a subtle smile on his lips. As expected, no one could do everything. Chen Yichen is really smart, but he is not so experienced in his judgment of the current situation and is not very calm.

So he spoke and helped: "Your Majesty calmed down. After all, the civil servants were born in the capital for a long time. He was not very familiar with Luchuan, which was far away from thousands of miles away. He was too cautious."

"Otherwise, when the Luchuan Barbarians arrive in Beijing next month, they will apologize and let Chen Xiucheng serve as the special envoy to be responsible for the offense. In addition, the envoys of the barbarians from all over the world will be checked in the Huitong Hall to wait for the tribute. It is better to have two things together. Chen Xiucheng can handle it with the officials of the Honglu Temple."

"When Xiu Xiu saw the grand occasion of the coming of all directions to congratulate and the coming of all directions, he would no longer take the mere Tartars and barbarians seriously."

After listening to Wang Zhen’s suggestion, Zhu Qizhen felt it was very appropriate and immediately nodded and said, “As far as the gentleman said, Chen Xiangbei will serve as the special envoy next month, responsible for the barbarian leader and the envoys of the four barbarians!”

After visiting the dynasty and observing the government, Zhu Qizhen also believed that when Chen Yichen entered the government and understood the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, he would no longer be too conservative and cautious, and would regard the northern Tartars as a great enemy.

As a result, I never expected that a few months later, Chen Yichen did not advance but retreated. Now even the barbarians in the southwest regarded it as a threat to the Ming Dynasty.

When did I become so powerful in the Ming Dynasty?

It seems that the direction of studying in Dongge is wrong. It is time for Chen Yichen to contact the real barbarians from all directions and personally experience their awe, respect and surrender to the Ming Dynasty!

"My me, please follow the sages!"

Chen Yichen kowtowed and took the order. Such a result was completely beyond his expectations.

To be honest, he felt that Zhu Qizhen's appointment today was more like the behavior of a stubborn boy.

Didn’t you ask me to be on guard against the barbarians in all directions? Then I’ll let you see how barbarians in all directions are afraid of my Ming Dynasty, which is not a problem!

It was already afternoon when he left the palace and returned to the Duke's Mansion. Chen Qingtong looked at Chen Yichen and stewed the food like a starving ghost. He said with a heartache and amused: "Husband, eat slowly. Didn't you say that the imperial banquet will be given to you at the imperial court? Why are you so hungry?"

"Stop talking, I was left with a lecture by the Lord and didn't make it to dinner."

After saying that, Chen Yichen seized the time and took two big mouthfuls, and then he felt that he had relieved.

"When I attend the lecture in the future, how can I hide two steamed buns for my husband?"

"It's a good idea, but unfortunately your husband doesn't have the courage to eat in the hall."

"Oh, my husband is so pitiful."

Just as Shen Yichen and Chen Qingtong were joking, their mother Shen hurried over with a serious expression.

"mother."

"Mother-in-law."

Chen Yichen and Chen Qingtong stood up to salute. At the same time, Chen Yichen also noticed that his mother Shen's expression was not right, so he asked, "Mom, is there anything wrong?"

Shen replied in a dilemma: "Chen'er, there are a few relatives coming over in the hometown. You may need to greet him."

Relatives from hometown?

Chen Yichen was really surprised when he heard this. After he was fighting in Yingtian Mansion, he had never seen any relatives from his hometown visit him. Where did this come from?

"Mom, do you have any relatives in my hometown?"

"Well, your uncle's relative."

uncle?

After hearing this term, Chen Yichen finally had some impression. Shortly after her mother and son moved out of Chengguo Duke's Mansion, it seemed that an uncle came to the house once.

Chen Yichen can't remember how good he looks. He only knew that this so-called uncle had arguing with his mother that day and finally slammed the door and left. He never came again, but unexpectedly it appeared today.

It turns out that I live in a poor place and no one cares about the city, and I have distant relatives in the deep mountains.

"Okay, where are they? I'll go and entertain you."

Chen Yichen will not express his emotions like a child as he is.

Besides, no matter what, my surname is Chen, and I am currently affiliated with the genealogy of my mother's family. I still have to do it when I pretend to be polite, which is not difficult for my mother to do.

When Shen heard his son agree, he was obviously relieved.

"They are resting in the inn not far from the Gong Mansion. Why don't Chen'er, let's go there now?"

"Um."

"Husband, mother-in-law, I'll go to see my uncle together."

Chen Qingtong didn't know the situation of Chen Yichen's mother clan. She just simply thought that the elders came over and that she should go to see her as a bride.

"No, you're at home."

Chen Yichen did not intend to let Chen Qingtong go with him. The reason was very simple. He didn’t know this so-called uncle himself, so where did he get the face for his wife to visit him?

In Shen Yichen's concept, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If one day the neighbors of Yingtian Prefecture had the opportunity to come to the capital to "travel", he would be very happy to take Chen Qingtong to meet people.

"good."

Chen Qingtong is very smart. From Chen Yichen's expression of conversation with her mother-in-law, she realized that this in-law's uncle might not have a close relationship, or even some estrangement.

Since the husband has spoken, let him handle the private matters by himself.

Under the guidance of his mother Shen, Chen Yichen came to an inn, which was only one street away from the Gongfu.

You should know that the area where the Gong Mansion is located is Guizhou District, so the inn house prices are naturally not low, comparable to the five-star price in later generations. When Chen Yichen helped Cang Huotou and others find a place in the inn, they were several streets away. My uncle's family is so rich?

Or, what my mother arranged?

With this question, Chen Yichen and his mother Shen walked into a private room in the inn and saw two old and one young and three men standing in the room.

Seeing Chen Yichen and Shen coming in, the men subconsciously stood up, but there was no follow-up action, and the expression on their faces was a little hesitant.

On the contrary, Shen first bowed and said, "Chen'er, let me introduce you to you. These three are your uncles, second uncles and the head of the Shen clan."
