Chapter 802 He Was Deceived(1/2)
Chapter 802 He was cheated
Author: Chu Qianmo
Chu Jingxian has arrived at Xinghe Bofang.
Behind him, there was another person.
Looking at this stubborn and indifferent man who followed every step, he said impatiently: "How long are you going to follow? When you come back from suppressing the bandits, you have nothing else to do? The Gyeonggi Guard is so big, you have been away for so long, and you have no official duties.
Want to deal with it? What are you doing with this idle guy like me?"
After the battle of suppressing bandits, Chu Xinyuan's face seemed to be a bit colder, his edges and corners became more distinct, and his whole body exuded an iron-blooded aura.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with silence, and he asked: "Where is she?"
Chu Jingxian's face didn't look good either. He turned around and came face to face with Chu Xinyuan: "Now you know where she is? When she suffered so much in your house, why didn't you know to take a second look? Whenever you are right
She is better, why does she have to work so hard? She should have been pampered and cared for, but you forced her to rely on herself for everything! Now that she is gone, you have the nerve to ask me where she is! I
I also want to know where she is!"
"She's not dead, is she?" Chu Xinyuan's voice was a little hoarse.
The old man said she was dead. He felt desperate and painful, guilty and remorseful, but so many Gyeonggi guards and him couldn't stop that person. He saw his enemy in front of him, but couldn't take revenge, so he could only watch.
The feeling of escaping made him want to dig deep into the ground to find the person and cut them into pieces.
But when he saw Chu Jingxian in the court hall and heard what he said, he knew that he had been deceived.
Joy rose quietly from the bottom of his heart. At that moment, he really wanted to shout loudly to vent the excitement that seemed to be lost and recovered.
He had been away from the capital for so long, even when he was suppressing bandits, he would still think of that pretty figure.
But he was such a bastard before and did so many things to hurt her. Every time he thinks about it, he is surrounded by guilt and regret.
That kind of longing has formed a knot in my heart. I am so depressed and solemn that I cannot express it to others!
At this moment, he should return to the mansion to discuss more important matters with Butler Liang and his ministers.
But he didn't want to care about anything, he didn't want to pay attention to anything, he wanted to make sure that she was really alive and knew where she was, even if he just took a look, even if she was still lukewarm to him, and he didn't even look at her!
Chu Jingxian cursed: "You're the one who died! She won't die even if you die!"
Being scolded in person, Chu Xinyuan was not angry. He pursed his lips and said, "It's good that she's okay!" Then, this person who had followed him all the way and couldn't get rid of him turned around and left.
Chu Jingxian almost jumped: "How do you know she is okay? I also want to know if she is okay! But now there is no news about her, does she need you to ask this innocuous question? Bah!"
Chu Jingxian glared hatefully in the direction Chu Xinyuan left, and finally entered Bofang.
He called the steward of Bofang over and asked, "Is there any news?"
The manager of Bofang looked frustrated: "Not yet!"
Their people all dispersed, but there was no news at all. They knew that their master was anxious, but it was useless to be anxious about this kind of thing.
Chu Jingxian said: "Expand the scope and keep looking. Also, you can spend money to buy it, as long as there is news!"
"yes!"
Chu Jingxian asked again: "Has anyone arrived?"
The steward said: "Already drinking tea at Hexuan Yaju!"
Chu Jingxian nodded, stood up, and walked into the inner room. After a while, he changed into regular clothes and came out, left the room, and went downstairs. However, he did not leave through the gate of Bofang, but went to the backyard.
There is a back door in the backyard, and the back door leads to an alley. The alley is the back door of another courtyard, but there are no people there. Even the bluestones in the alley have moss that has appeared due to the lack of sunlight for many years.
Chu Jingxian walked to the back door on the slope and knocked lightly. The back door immediately opened and Chu Jingxian stepped in.
This is a third-level house registered in the name of a distant relative of the management. Even if someone were to check, they would not find out that this house has anything to do with Chu Jingxian.
The winding paths in the house are indeed elegant. The flowers in the small garden are in full bloom, and their fragrant fragrance lingers in the air.
However, Chu Jingxian obviously had no intention of admiring the flowers.
He walked quickly through the garden and arrived at a hall on the right front.
There, two people were drinking tea.
Chu Jingxian walked in, saluted and called: "Grandpa, uncle!"
These two people were obviously in a tit-for-tat confrontation in the court, and they disliked Chu Jingxian at all times, and were determined to quarrel with each other. Shen Diancong, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Hu Fengxin, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Both of them also stood up, each bowed their hands and said: "Your Majesty the Seventh Prince!"
The guests and hosts were seated separately, with Chu Jingxian taking the main seat.
Shen Dianchong sat at the bottom on the left, and Hu Fengxin sat at the bottom on the right.
Hu Fengxin first said: "Your Highness, we have found out that the person who specifically handled the grain and grass matter was Zhang Zicheng, the head of the Household Department. This person is neutral on the surface and is not attached to anyone. If we investigate deeply, we will find that he and the First Prince's Mansion
The last aide was a distant relative. But in fact, he was the emperor’s employee!”
Shen Diaancong also said: "We found that person. He also had different identities to cover up. After a lot of effort, we determined his final identity. He is also the emperor's man!"
Then, the two people talked about some people and things, which all happened in the past two years and were aimed at Chu Jingxian.
Because of the occurrence of these things, Chu Jingxian was "estranged" from Concubine De, "turned against" Hu Fengxin, and "strange" from Shen Diaancong.
Yes, Chu Jingxian realized something was wrong from the very beginning.
First of all, it was about the food and fodder matter, which strangled the lifeline of him and the army. It was a vicious design that could make him die on the battlefield directly because of the lack of food and fodder.
If he hadn't been cautious enough to prevent someone from making a fuss about the food and fodder matter and made arrangements in advance, the outcome of the battle would have been unimaginable.
After Chu Jingxian returned to Beijing, he immediately planned the plan.
As for Concubine De, he did not go to the palace to pay her respects for half a month after returning to Beijing. Fortunately, he had already sent someone to talk to Hu Fengxin, so Mrs. Hu took advantage of the opportunity of her wife coming to the palace to pay her respects to Concubine De.
Therefore, in front of others, Chu Jingxian was no longer the filial prince he had been before, and Concubine De was also the concubine in the palace who was resented by her adopted son. Shen Diaancong and Hu Fengxin were no longer external influences outside the palace of the Seventh Emperor.
Hateful political enemy!
At that time, he only thought that the eldest prince or the fourth prince did not want him to return with his military exploits, so they deliberately caused trouble.
But later, when the emperor wanted to use him as a knife, he felt something was wrong, and the person behind the scenes was actually the emperor.
Chu Jingxian was completely disappointed.
His father is always good at calculating people's hearts. None of these princes have escaped. One after another, they are playing with each other like cats and dogs.
He must feel that everything is under control, he can let go when he wants, and he can stop when he wants to! How can things in this world really be so comprehensive?
If you don't hold the knife well, you will sometimes hurt yourself. As a good father, he loves to play with people's hearts, so he holds a little too much knife in his hand.
Shen Diaancong added: "Today the Ninth Prince went to court to listen to politics. On the surface, it seems very normal. After all, he is already sixteen years old. However, at such a time, the meaning is too obvious!"
Hu Fengxin took a sip of tea and said, "Our Holy Sage has made everyone think they are fools."
Shen Diancong smiled: "Those who are in the game don't know what's going on in the game! How could we know that one day, you and I will not be in the game?"
Hu Fengxin stopped talking. Now he is laughing at the people in the game. Maybe he is also in the game.
Chu Jingxian said: "There should be some action these days. Grandpa and uncle, we will just sit back and watch. Those things have nothing to do with us. The situation is chaotic now, and protecting ourselves is the most important thing!"
Shen Diaancong looked at him deeply and said, "Your Highness, do you want to fight for that position?"
Hu Fengxin's face also became solemn, and both pairs of eyes looked at Chu Jingxian.
Chu Jingxian sighed softly and said: "Whether I fight or not, it is not the most important thing. As long as that position does not fall into the hands of cruel and ruthless people, I am also willing to help with all my heart. Uncle, grandpa, you know me,
Ever since I was a child, I haven’t liked those things that calculate people’s hearts!”
Shen Dianchong also sighed and said: "Your mother and concubine don't want you to get involved, she just wants you to live a relaxed and happy life!"
Hu Fengxin said: "But your identity is here. Sometimes if you don't fight and someone forces you to fight, it will be life or death. Think clearly!"
Chu Jingxian smiled faintly: "Uncle, although I don't fight, I still have the power to protect myself!" There was a bit of sharpness in his eyes, "I may not be able to compete for that position, but I still have the power to destroy.
Some!"
Hu Fengxin smiled and shook his head: "You are a fearless young man! Regardless of whether you argue or not, you still have to do some preparations. If you change your mind one day, we won't be caught off guard!"
Chu Jingxian said seriously: "Grandpa, uncle, no matter what you do, you must pay attention to your own safety. The eldest prince, the fourth prince, and the forces behind them are going crazy. When a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, he can do anything. It is not wise to join the game now.
I have entered the game of your choice. You can disassociate yourself from me for the time being and just wait and see!"
There was a hint of deep resentment in his eyes: "The Southern Qi army is pressing down on the border, and the situation in the eastern border is so serious, but their people still want to take action against the eastern border guards, but they are just fighting for the sake of the party, for what they want to fight for
That position was so crazy, but I didn’t even think about the people of the Eastern Territory!”
Shen Dianchong and Hu Fengxin's faces looked a little ugly.
The assassination from within, combined with the situation in the court a while ago, is most likely the result of one of our own.
If Wei Qiangheng had not died, and although his leadership skills were not great, he was good at defense, how could Dongxia lose several cities in a row and be so passive?
Assassinating one's own generals on the battlefield is no different from collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!
But what is even more disappointing is the emperor.
Be it Kong Xi, Chu Xinyuan, or Chu Jingxian, these are all people who have led troops, have experience, and have prestige. And with their status, joining the army is a thrill. Now the situation
I don’t know, maybe more than just five cities were lost. Wouldn’t it be the best choice to send a general like this to lead an army to conquer the lost territory in one fell swoop?
