"I didn't expect that the king's determination would be so strong!"
Shen Zunli was secretly frightened, sensing King An Cheng's grandeur and ambition. Apart from being impressed, he was also a little worried. He did not fully recover until he returned to Shen's Mansion.
Returning to the study, he thought about it for a while and called his confidants.
"Master, what are your orders?"
Shen Zunli said calmly: "Do you remember the dinner at the palace I mentioned before?"
The man said: "How can you forget? My subordinates have already sent people to prepare. It will probably take a few days..."
"This dinner has to be advanced a few days, and the location is uncertain. However, the preparations I asked you to make remain the same. We just need to speed up."
"Here!"
The man was not vague, but he also felt a bit anxious. He said goodbye to his young master and hurried away, preparing to get busy.
However, he was stopped by a maid in green clothes on the way. After some chirping questions, the maid hurriedly returned to a boudoir.
There was a faint fragrance lingering in this boudoir. There was a woman sitting in it. She turned her head and revealed a face as white as a porcelain doll. Her beautiful eyes moved, revealing a little doubt.
"Miss, I have come to inquire. I heard from Shen Zhuan that King An Cheng will hold a dinner in the next few days, and the Marquis of Linru County will also go there. If Miss is still worried, why not go and have a look in person to see this What kind of person is the king?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid there's something wrong with this."
"What's wrong?" the maid in green smiled sweetly, "I heard that there are many young ladies in Jiankang City who often disguise themselves as men and get together to have fun in private, or..." Her eyes flashed. Turn to, "Which unparalleled hero does Miss still like?"
"Where are there many heroes in the world?" The woman sighed, "My mother has long been talking about marrying her to the clan. Sooner or later, I will find a clan member to marry. I just want to be a stable person."
"Alas, I thought he was the prince of King Ancheng before," the maid also sighed, and seeing the sad look on the young lady's face, she quickly cheered up, "but this Marquis of Linru County did not have many bad deeds in the past, although his reputation is not obvious. , but it must be extraordinary to be valued by King An Cheng. Besides, doesn’t this require the young lady to confirm it in person?”
The woman hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "It's okay to go and have a look. Then again, I'm being too sentimental here, so maybe people still think less of me."
"Young lady is joking!" The maid immediately got excited, "Who can let go of a fairy-like figure like a young lady? If the Marquis of Linru County can be attracted by the young lady, he will definitely not be able to fly!"
.
.
"I can't stay in this world for more than a few days."
On the bullock cart, Chen Cuo suddenly had a sudden impulse and felt something in his heart.
At this time, the bullock cart stopped and Chen Cuo got out.
"Second Young Master, you are finally back."
When Chen Cuo returned to the Hou Mansion, what was waiting for him was not Chen Hai, but Chen He, the steward of the palace.
When Chen Cuo saw it, he knew that something must have happened in the palace, but he didn't mention it. He just smiled and said: "Chen He, you have been in the palace a lot recently. Could it be that you want to come over and work for me?"
"It would be a great honor for me to be able to work for you, your lord!" Chen He bowed and saluted, and what he said made Chen Hai's eyelids jump. Fortunately, he followed and heard the steward of the palace say: "Please, lord, move on. Prince's Mansion, there is something important at home!"
Chen Cuo asked: "Is there someone else coming to visit me?"
Chen He shook his head and said: "It's not that anyone is visiting, but there are two pieces of news..."
Chen Cuo simply interrupted and said: "You can tell me what the news is here, so that I can be prepared and save time from having to go somewhere to find out more."
Chen He's expression changed slightly, and finally he said helplessly: "We have to enter the house before we talk, it's a very important matter."
"Let's go, don't delay." Chen Cuo walked in first, followed closely by Chen He and Chen Hai.
After a lot of trouble, Chen Cuo sat on the main seat. Chen He then stepped forward carefully and whispered: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty has been dismissed."
Chen Cuo thought about it for a moment before he understood.
"Chen Fangtai was fired?"
Chen He wanted to correct Chen Cuo's statement that he should call him brother, but looking at Chen Cuo's look, he couldn't say this after all.
"When did this happen?"
"That's the news I got last night," Chen He sighed. "I heard that there was a mutiny in Lingnan. The king couldn't suppress it anymore, so he had to report it. He was accused and dismissed. The messenger with the decree was already on his way. Forget it.
Calculating the distance, it will be passed in half a month."
"Is he the one who caused the mutiny?" Chen Cuo had no intention of saving face for Chen Fangtai. "If it were for other matters, his clan name and the emperor's favoritism would prevent him from being really accused. But if it involves military affairs,
It’s not that simple anymore.”
Seeing Chen He's ugly face, he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, Lingnan is the land of southern Xinjiang. There are no big enemies around. A moment of commotion is not fatal to the court. If it is Jiangzhou or Jingzhou,
I just made a big mistake when I was there, and now, I guess I just got called back and reprimanded."
Chen Cuo read the collections in Dongguan for five or six days. Not only did he learn the practice method, but he also read a lot of classics and history collections. He also had a preliminary understanding of the general trend of the world, and only then could he make a judgment.
But what Chen He is worried about is obviously more than that.
He said: "Your Majesty is the pillar of our Nankang King lineage, and the face of the prince's and marquis' mansions. Now that he has been dismissed from his official position, I am afraid that many people will fall into trouble. The old lady is worried about this and asked the prince to go there.
Discuss."
"Worry is unavoidable, but I don't care about fame and fortune. You are looking for the wrong person to discuss with me." Chen Cuo waved his hand when he saw that Chen He was still waiting to say anything more. "Chen Fangtai caused a mutiny. He was only punished and dismissed from office. He did not send someone to lock him up.
, in fact, it is to protect him, to lie dormant for a while, and then he can recover. There is nothing to say, let’s talk about the second thing.”
Chen He had no choice but to sigh and said: "Early in the morning, someone came to report that the two... two young masters left by the late king in the north will arrive in the next two days. Let the palace prepare. The old lady is the king.
I was worried about what happened, and when I heard the news, I was so angry that I almost fainted, so you should go and have a look."
What he said before he was obviously wronged by Chen was a bit worried, his tone was urgent, and he also talked about Chen's mother's condition.
"I really have to go and take a look. It just so happens that all the common people are gathered together, so as not to get involved again in the future."
Chen Cuo felt something in his heart and nodded in agreement.
After his physical biological father, Chen Tanlang, went north as a hostage, he and his concubine gave birth to two more sons.
After Chen Tanlang's death, the Qi State in the north said that the coffin and body would be sent back together with the two sons. As a result, the coffin was sent back first, and the two sons seemed to be involved a lot, so that it was never sent. Who would have thought that it would actually be there?
This time comes.
Thinking of Chen's mother's temperament, Chen Cuo had already expected that the future of his two sons in the palace would not be smooth, but it had nothing to do with him.
Thinking like this, Chen Cuo stood up and left, but when he left the lobby, he saw a little pig scurrying from the side and flashing past everyone. The eyes of those who saw it jumped.
Chen Cuo also shook his head slightly, and was about to move on, but suddenly his heart moved, he got a message, and walked towards the direction where the piggy was running, saying: "Wait a moment, there are some things to deal with.
"
"..."
On the other side, the little pig flipped in the air and landed in the backyard, and the little turtle above it screamed twice.
"Don't worry, I have just conveyed the message. The boy's mind has been enlightened, and it is time to stabilize his state. These days, he is in charge of food, drink, and living. This kind of character is incredible. Hehe, he has passed the test! As for
The rest, when he really has the ability to find the treasure, he will naturally have to do some research, but it has nothing to do with you and me, just let him know today."
"Chi chi chi chi."
Xiaozhu nodded and said with emotion: "That's right, it's also his good fortune. If there are deficiencies in the five elements, it just happens to be this opportunity."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Cuo had already walked over.
