The good relationship between Mu Anzhi and Pei Ruyu was well known in the imperial capital. Pei Ruyu was demoted to an official position in Northern Xinjiang and was sent three thousand miles away because he was dissatisfied with Emperor Mu Xuan's appointment as a crown prince and stood up for Mu Anzhi in the court.
However, the good relationship between the two of them is that they don't stay with their wife every night. They sleep in the same bed in the same room, no, they sleep together. This is a bit good... It makes people wonder if you have another relationship.
.
Du Changshidu told Huan Li privately, "If Lao Hua were here, I would have to admonish His Highness privately."
Huan Li said, "His Royal Highness had no one to help him back then, but he had a close friend like Pei Zhuangyuan, who was very affectionate."
"Of course. They grew up together, and I think they are no different from brothers." Du Changshi has an older brother in his family and understands this feeling very well.
Huan Li said, "Better than a real brother, your Highness's brother..."
Du Changshi glanced at Huan Li and said to himself, not only are His Highness's brothers strangers to each other, but my junior brother Hu's brother is also a scumbag. Huan Li was dissatisfied, "What's that look in your eyes? I thought everyone was as lucky as you, like Du Shangshu."
What a good brother."
"What a pitiful look in your eyes." Du Changshi almost made Huan Li angry to death.
When Pei Ruyu, Bai Muxiang and his entourage left for Northern Xinjiang, Mu Anzhi Li Yuhua felt a lot of reluctance to leave. Governor Chen advised, "In two or three years, Mr. Bai and Mr. Pei will definitely return to the imperial capital to report on his duties, and we will see you again then."
After seeing off his old friend and his entourage, Mu Anzhi thanked Governor Chen for leading the troops to welcome him. Governor Chen repeatedly said, "If someone is so bold, I should lead troops to Luoyang to bring His Highness back!" Governor Chen is in charge of Zhili military affairs, so he can
Mobilize the troops from Zhili. However, without an imperial decree, he cannot lead troops to other provinces. Although this statement is somewhat false, it is also due to Governor Chen's kindness.
"Fortunately, there was no danger." Mu Anzhi reciprocated, "Chen Zhuangyuan is very brave and brave, and he fought with me against the enemy. I think his martial arts is not inferior to his literary talent."
Speaking of this nephew, Governor Chen also had a bright face and said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. A Jian still needs experience. Fortunately, he was born with sincerity. If he doesn't act when His Highness is in danger, then he is not the son of the Chen family."
"
Tang Mo smiled and said, "Governor Chen, I killed the enemy with A Jian, why don't you praise me?"
Governor Chen laughed heartily, "Xiao Mo, you can't overstate your merits."
Tang Mo also smiled with his eyes bent, "You praise me so much that I feel embarrassed."
Governor Chen arrived with his army, and Mu An and his party could finally feel at ease. In addition to the captives being handed over to Governor Chen's care, there were also many injured soldiers under Qin Ting's command who could rest and recuperate.
Regarding Pei's following speculation, Mu Anzhi found an opportunity to tell Qin Ting. Without waiting for Qin Ting to refute, Mu Anzhi gently pressed his shoulders and said, "I know there are reasons in this world for people to be estranged and not close, but I am not someone who can pretend to be stupid."
Since I have this suspicion, even if there is no evidence that you have lived and died with me, I have to tell you. If I am wrong, that is fine. If I am really right, you should pay attention to it yourself.
No matter what your plan is, don't do anything stupid like that of father and son, otherwise all my words will be wasted."
After saying that, Mu Anzhi turned around and left.
As for what Qin Ting wanted, no one knows.
Governor Chen was respectful and courteous to Mu Anzhi, and served him attentively throughout his stay. Especially when Mu Anzhi had an injury on his arm, he specially invited a famous doctor from Zhili to have a look at it, and made sure again that His Highness's injury had healed, and that he would be ready in three days and five hours.
After he recovered, Governor Chen felt relieved.
Governor Chen privately inquired with his nephew about the assassination, and Chen Jian told the truth. Governor Chen sighed, "It's really dangerous. These thieves can actually use a crossbow. If Lord Pei and the others hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid they would have been killed."
Something big happened."
Chen Jian nodded, "But His Highness the Third Highness is extremely brave. There were many rebels and when the Dragon and Tiger Guards were unable to stop him, His Highness led twenty of us into the enemy camp and took the enemy general's head. It's really a good idea to capture the thief first."
To capture the king, Your Highness the Third is braver than anyone else."
"After all, he is the son of Empress Liu." Governor Chen whispered. The Liu family originally started out as a martial artist. Not to mention, my late father-in-law was also a good warrior. The Third Highness has the blood of the Liu family in his body. If you inherit a little bit of it, you will be stronger than others.
.
Governor Chen was very scheming and based on Chen Jian's narration, he said, "The scouts of the Qin family are either incompetent or have problems. Stay away from the Qin family. Don't get too close to the Third Highness. You, the top scholar, are just serious officials, no matter who takes the position."
, will all use you.”
Chen Jian responded seriously, but he was a little disapproving in his heart. It is true that anyone in power will use him, but how can he be the same as Conglong. If you want to become the prime minister, you will never get to the top without His Majesty's favor. The prince has Lu beside him.
There were children from various families who were brought in by high-ranking officials from various dynasties. His cousin Chen Zhuan was already by the prince's side and had been his companion since he was a child. It was impossible for the prince to be closer to him than to his cousin.
Although His Highness is not the Crown Prince, His Highness has always been eyeing the throne. Moreover, judging from the past few years in the Ministry of Punishment, His Highness is a talented prince. What's more, His Highness is also surrounded by talents.
Chen Jian glanced at her uncle and said, "Uncle, there is something I want to tell you."
"Whatever it is, just say it." Governor Chen always valued his nephew very much.
Chen Jian told Governor Chen about Bai Muxiang's transfer to the Ministry of Industry, "The Third Highness suspected that it was a subordinate of the Lu family. Pei Zhuangyuan and the Third Highness had a close relationship. Master Bai and the third prince's concubine were actually cousins.
Master Bai stopped working as soon as she heard this, and said she would give her a discount when she went back, and all the weapons she developed from now on would be handed over to the craftsmen and supervisors of the Ministry of Industry."
"The Ministry of War is in dire straits." Governor Chen said, "I heard that the powerful crossbow developed by Lord Bai is far superior to the kicking crossbow."
"It is lighter and more labor-intensive than a crossbow, and it is more powerful. One arrow can pierce the rebels wearing iron armor. Moreover, this kind of crossbow can be used by one person. I saw that the guards holding the crossbow fired ten arrows in a row without showing any signs of fatigue.
Prime Minister." Chen Jian said, "We have looked at it and found that it is indeed a first-class weapon in the army. With such a powerful crossbow, from now on, the crossbow will gradually be abandoned."
Governor Chen couldn't help but be envious, "I really don't know where that old fox Prime Minister Pei got such luck to find such a good wife for Pei Zhuangyuan."
Chen Jian smiled and said, "Uncle, whenever I see Prime Minister Pei, I want to learn from him."
"I'm far away in Zhili, so I wrote to your father to ask for advice. Your father wrote to say that since you won the first prize, you said that there are so many people getting married that it's worrying. They are all good marriages, and he can't make up his mind.
, Discuss with me." Governor Chen said, "Xiang Wei has a granddaughter who is still young. She is the younger brother of the Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty Ambassador who is currently the pacifier of the two lakes also has a daughter. Ren Man, the pacifier of the Tang Dynasty, has returned to the imperial capital to report on his duties. He is catching up.
Chunwei, I heard that you won the first prize, and I was very interested. Then there is the daughter of the Xie Shangshu family, who is a noble lady. These three families are all first-class families, which one do you think is better?"
Just as Chen Jian was about to speak, Governor Chen stared at him, "Don't talk about not having a family before you have achieved fame. If you win the first prize, you won't have a family. Those who don't win the first prize don't deserve to live?"
"That's not what I meant." Chen Jian said, "Now even the prince is bound to be assassinated. I think this sign is not good. Someone in the court must rebel. I am not sure who I can get married to at the moment. It is better to wait until the situation becomes clearer and the marriage is not urgent.
"
Governor Chen sighed, "I can't understand why the rebels actually attacked the third prince. Although the third prince is noble, he has no chance of being crowned emperor. The third prince is indeed at odds with the Lu family, but the Lu family is the crown prince's maternal family. As long as
When the prince ascends the throne, he will be honored for the rest of his life."
"I can't figure this out either," Chen Jian said, "So, I thought about it. What is there about His Highness that would make the rebels want to kill him even if they are exposed? It must be His Highness who has given them a huge threat. Although
We cannot see that His Highness has such great value and ability, but the rebels must know."
Governor Chen propped his head, "Yeah, it's so strange."
Chen Jian said, "Uncle, what would you think if I followed His Highness?"
Governor Chen suddenly raised his head, "What did you say?"
"I want to follow the Third Highness." Chen Jian said seriously, "The Third Highness must be a very threatening person. Maybe he himself doesn't know it yet, but the rebels reminded me. Now that the imperial court is in turmoil, although the prince lives in the East Palace
, The Third Highness has begun to gather talents around him. The eldest brother is with the East Palace, and the uncle is His Majesty’s confidant. If you want the family to prosper, it is necessary to bet on the Third Highness."
Governor Chen frowned deeply, "But His Highness is trying to win you over?"
"It would be strange if he didn't win over me." Chen Jian smiled.
"Still laughing. As long as you can be an official safely, your future will be good, so why take such a risk." Governor Chen didn't agree, but he didn't firmly object.
Chen Jian knew that there was a way. Chen Jian said, "The Third Highness already has Pei Zhuangyuan, Du Changshi, Hua Changshi, Huan Li, and there are people in the Ministry of Punishment who are willing to be loyal to him. I should go there earlier so that I can have my position. Let's
Privately speaking, if His Highness the Third Highness is flying in the sky, the number one scholar will be nothing. There will be a new one in three years. I'm afraid that by then, I won't be able to squeeze in even if I want to."
After all, Governor Chen was a high-ranking official in the region and could not be convinced with just a few words. He asked his nephew, "Do you think so highly of His Highness?"
Chen Jian said, "If it hadn't been for this assassination, I wouldn't have wanted to be with His Highness. The court is stable, and as long as the Crown Prince makes no big mistakes, His Highness will have no chance no matter how unwilling he is. But once chaos breaks out, it will be hard to say.
This time when His Highness returns to the court, the Crown Prince will be blamed. His Highness will be highly recommended by the Crown Prince when he comes to Henan. Someone plots against the Crown Prince and murders His Highness. Once there is chaos in the world, it will be taken by those who can. As long as the Third Highness controls the Northern Territory, he will
It's the dragon returning to the sea. Don't forget, Master Bai is an unparalleled genius in weapons."
"All the troops in Northern Xinjiang are in the hands of Marquis Lu. Even though Marquis Lu is from the same clan as the Duke of Lu, he is also an uncle and nephew and a cousin of His Highness the Crown Prince. Could it be that Marquis Lu doesn't get close to the Crown Prince and instead helps His Highness the Third Prince?" Governor Chen asked.
, "This is absolutely impossible. The survival of the family is at stake, and Marquis Lu will never help His Highness seize the throne."
"If Marquis Lu and Duke Lu were like our uncles and nephews, how could they split their clans?" Chen Jian asked rhetorically.
Governor Chen was furious at these words and scolded, "You are also the top scholar in a new subject, and you are becoming more and more unruly in what you say."
"Besides, you are not the champion Pei. You have been friends with the third prince since childhood, so why take such a risk?" Governor Chen thought to himself. His Majesty has always loved young talents. He has been the champion for two consecutive times. Of course, his nephew
As the number one scholar, Governor Chen's face is also very glorious. However, this young man is not very stable, and he doesn't want to live a peaceful life.
Chen Jian said, "I don't want to miss this opportunity. If everyone else is in the midst of the storm, I stand by and watch. How can I be willing to do so?"
"Is it easy to endure wind, rain, thunder and lightning?" Governor Chen asked, "I am probably getting older. I don't think there is anything wrong with living a peaceful life."
"His Majesty didn't have any chance of winning back then. You weren't following His Majesty, and you didn't live a peaceful life at that time. Now you think I don't want peace. Maybe it's because I'm like you, uncle." Chen Jian accused.
, "The roots are here with you."
Governor Chen was slapped down by him and laughed angrily, "Stop being so naughty. This matter is beyond discussion and I won't agree to it."
"My grandfather must have told you this at the beginning." Chen Jian complained, "You elders, you were very noisy when you were young, but you expect us to be benevolent, righteous, propriety and trustworthy." Then she said nice things to coax Governor Chen, "Me too.
"Uncle, you are as great as a mountain. Uncle, you will definitely be remembered in the history books. I don't say that a young man is better than a young man, nor can he lose his family reputation."
Governor Chen was also young. Although he was a little annoyed that Chen Jian was willing to live a peaceful life and insisted on joining Mu Anzhi, he understood in his heart that no one was like this when they were young. When the storm was turbulent, no one wanted to move the river and stir up the storm.
It may work, it may not work.
However, during such a vigorous and exciting time, the whole life is different.
It's just that he is his uncle. Although he treats Chen Jian slightly worse than his own son, he still feels that this is his own flesh and blood. The child who has been distressed for many years wants to bet his life's future on a prince with a limited winning rate.
Governor Chen was so worried that he could not sleep for several nights.
Elders are really not made by humans!
Governor Chen recalled the angry quarrels he had with his father over gambling, and thought to himself, is it your spirit in heaven that is taking revenge on me?
