Before Chen Yuan returned to the capital, Sima Ke was planning to help him succeed, but his reputation was too great and he received too much attention.
If you act rashly, you will be noticed easily.
That's why it's been delayed until now.
And today, Chen Yuan was granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an and was granted the title of Lord of Wu'an, which was definitely a happy event for thousands of households. Naturally, he must be even more happy. In this way, the impression left on Chen Yuan will be even greater.
He had been planning since yesterday, and he had agreed with his mother and concubine that he would completely tie the relationship between them tonight and not allow Sima Qian and Sima You to draw Chen Yuan away.
Chen Yuan frowned, thinking that Sima Ke was really persistent.
Ruthless.
Throw everything away for your own benefit.
Yang Guifei's appearance is indeed extraordinary and her figure is plump. It would be a lie to say that she has no thoughts at all, but Chen Yuan can restrain his thoughts.
After all, he has always been devoted to the Tao.
but now.
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed and he hesitated.
By doing this, he could indeed tie Concubine Yang, mother and son, to his chariot. After all, this kind of thing was too horrifying, and no one would benefit from it if it spread.
Chen Yuan's original intention was to treat mother and son as chess pieces.
Seeing that Chen Yuan was hesitant and didn't answer, Sima Ke's heart skipped a beat and he thought, could Chen Yuan be unhappy or have some other concerns?
Then he quickly said:
"Brother Chen, don't worry about this. It will never be spread. Everything is very careful."
"Your Highness, it is better to focus on the position of the crown prince. Small things will never lead to big things." Chen Yuan said in a deep voice, and after saying that, he turned and left.
"Brother Chen, you."
"Go home."
Chen Yuan replied from a distance.
"Go back home." Sima Ke's eyes flashed with joy.
It’s good to go home, it’s good to go home.
As long as he returns to the mansion, his plan will be completed.
Thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, Chen Yuan's steps were not very fast, but even if he didn't deliberately rush, considering his cultivation, he was still very fast.
After all, although the Prince's Mansion is somewhat far away from Wu Weibo's Mansion, it is still within the scope of the inner city.
Not long after, Chen Yuan returned to the mansion.
The guard waiting in front of the door saluted quickly, with excitement in his eyes.
The news that their uncle was granted the title of Marquis has spread throughout the capital, and they naturally know that he is a Marquis of Che who has thousands of households in the city, and there are only a few in the entire capital.
It is absolutely a supreme honor.
It is estimated that by early tomorrow morning, the imperial edict from above will be issued, either the Wuwei Count's Mansion will be replaced by the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, or the emperor will grant another the finest mansion.
Chen Yuan nodded slightly. Since he had some worries in his heart, he didn't say much. He gave a few instructions and quickly returned to his room.
With a thought, an invisible force enveloped the entire room, and someone was instantly discovered inside.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuan slowly opened the door.
"Empress, show up."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful figure slowly walked out of a dark place in the room. She had a plump figure, flawless white skin, and was wrapped in a layer of black gauze.
The appearance is covered, but this looming situation is even more heart-warming.
The woman slowly took off the black gauze hanging on her face, revealing her true appearance.
She was Sima Ke's mother and the imperial concubine.
"came back?"
Concubine Yang tapped her teeth lightly, her voice carrying a hint of majesty, but at the same time mixed with a touch of tenderness. She looked at Chen Yuan with extremely complicated eyes, filled with excitement, shame, and panic.
It was obvious that she knew what was going to happen today.
"Your Majesty is not resting in the harem, why did you come to Chen's house quietly?" Chen Yuan sat down slowly, poured himself a cup of herbal tea, and suppressed the anger in his heart.
No cadre can withstand such a test!
"Asking knowingly."
Concubine Yang gradually lost her panic and rolled her eyes at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment:
"Your Majesty, Fourth Highness, Chen has his own plans. There is no need for this. He has always misunderstood. Chen is devoted to the Tao and has never been close to women."
Concubine Yang snorted softly, sat down beside him slowly, opened her mouth, and said softly:
"This has nothing to do with Ke'er. It's best if you can help him. If you can't help him, it doesn't matter."
"and you."
"During those days when you were in Liangzhou, I didn't know why, but I always had some weird dreams, and I was thinking about you in my heart."
A flash of surprise flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.
Thinking about it, it must be the hands and feet of Senior Moro that gradually planted the seeds in Yang Guifei's mind, and as a few months passed.
That seed took root and sprouted.
"so?"
"So, even if Ke'er doesn't come to persuade me many times, I will still come."
Concubine Yang said in a deep voice.
Chen Yuan coughed twice:
"This matter is against human ethics, I will still return."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Concubine Yang:
"In that case, when Ke'er saw you last time, why did you..."
Concubine Yang didn't know what she thought of, and a layer of red glow appeared on her face.
Chen Yuan frowned:
"On that day when His Highness comes to see me, if he finds you under the table, what will happen will happen? Your Majesty will not know, right? Chen is also thinking about you."
"Then there's no need to seal my mouth."
"If you don't gag me, why should you gag me? What if the empress accidentally makes a sound? It would be bad."
"You..." Yang Guifei's face turned green and white. She was already so shameless, but this guy took up the air and couldn't help but say:
"Do you dislike my old age?"
Age has always been a problem that troubled her.
Even if she is nourished by spiritual creatures, her cultivation level is still too low and she has no hope of elixir realm. She is bound to grow old gradually, but Chen Yuan stays young forever and has a lifespan of hundreds of years.
Chen Yuan slowly shook his head:
"My empress looks like she is only in her thirties, which is a woman's best years."
"Then you just think that I am not clean?"
"this"
"Since you gave birth to Ke'er, Your Majesty has not been close to me. You won't really have any consequences with me, so why bother to stick to this?"
In this era, the atmosphere is quite open.
Even if it is reconciliation, it will not delay the search for both parties.
Chen Yuan's eyes hesitated and his fingers kept tapping on the table.
Do you want to be a thief?
Looking at Chen Yuan's closed eyes, Concubine Yang gritted her teeth, reached out and grabbed Chen Yuan's fingers, and whispered:
"I have already become so humble, how could you..."
"My dear, please respect yourself."
Concubine Yang's face looked a little ugly, but she still gritted her teeth. She no longer had any shame, and there was nothing worth paying attention to. She immediately said:
"I know a secret of His Majesty's. I wish I could tell you."
"What secret?"
Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and became interested.
He had long seen that something was wrong with Jingtai, but his contact time was still too little and he could not detect the specific reason. If he could know the secret.
It may be of great use to him in the future.
"You want to know?"
Concubine Yang's lips curled up.
"certainly."
"Then you." Concubine Yang whispered a few words.
She bent over and showed her figure vividly. The moonlight fell and just reflected her body. Chen Yuan instantly thought of a sentence in his mind.
The light of righteousness shines on the earth.
"Is your Majesty really wanting this?"
"Is there anything else to say now?"
Concubine Yang asked back.
Chen Yuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, nodded and said seriously:
"Well, since the queen has been suffering from stubborn illnesses all year round, I have no choice but to help the queen and do my best to help the queen solve her problems."
Concubine Yang covered her mouth and chuckled:
"This is the Ambassador Chen Qing who dares to contradict me. Man, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. I am not afraid of you, so what are you afraid of?"
"hehe."
Chen Yuan smiled.
He has never been a gentleman. Although he is devoted to the Tao, he still understands the Tao and Tao, and it is not considered a violation of his thoughts.
Seeing that Chen Yuan had figured it out, Concubine Yang immediately grabbed his hand and whispered:
"You, you, can you slap me a few times first?"
"What did the empress say?"
Chen Yuan almost thought he heard wrongly.
"Slap me a few times."
To be honest, this was the first time Chen Yuan had heard of such a request.
It's somewhat true.
"really?"
"let's hit."
Chen Yuan looked at Concubine Yang who stretched out her face and narrowed his eyes. Naturally, he couldn't go against the woman's wishes, so he immediately raised his hand and took out a big pussy.
"Snapped."
A clear slap sounded.

In the royal palace, in the royal study.
Lights illuminated the entire hall brightly.
Unlike usual, Jingtai did not deal with government affairs. Instead, he put his hands behind his hands and stared at the spring picture he had just drawn. Summer is coming and spring is full of joy.
For some reason, he felt inexplicably irritable, so he subconsciously started writing.
Looking at the green grass in the painting, Jingtai was quite satisfied. He was good at Taoist painting. If he hadn't become an emperor, he would definitely be an outstanding Taoist painter.
"rustle."
Cao Zhengxian, the governor of the imperial factory, dressed in black official uniform, slowly walked closer and bowed:
"I have met your Majesty."
Jingtai shifted his gaze, looked up at the person in front of him, and nodded slightly:
"How did things go?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the focus of attention in the capital has now fallen on Chen Yuan, and there are relatively few mentions of the Governor's resignation."
Cao Zhengxian said truthfully.
Some people are indeed right. Jingtai is indeed planning some things behind the scenes, gradually taking back the power in his hands, and then doing big things.
But he didn't want the matter to be too publicized, so he wanted Cao Zhengxian to guide the trend.
"That's good."
Jingtai said lightly.
"His Majesty's methods are indeed superior to those of many emperors. He can even take back the power of the Governor. I admire him." Cao Zhengxian's words are really not a lie.
He didn't expect that His Majesty would have such means.
It was not a trivial matter to be able to convince Governor Gu Tianqiong to give up the rights of the Tianxian Division. He could not even guess what method Jingtai used.
A simple reward is not enough.
Therefore, he really admires him now.
When Jingtai heard this, a faint smile appeared on his lips. Cao Zhengxian was a veteran of several dynasties and had dressed several emperors since the founding of the Jin Dynasty.
His admiration is still very useful to him.
What he wants to do is not only to surpass many emperors in his achievements, but also to make achievements that surpass Taizu and put the Sima family's current broken country into order one by one.
He has been working hard in this direction.
"It's just that I wonder what method your Majesty used?" Cao Zhengxian carefully raised his head and looked at Jingtai, wanting to know some truth.
Unexpectedly, Jingtai glanced at him lightly:
"It's best that Eunuch Cao doesn't know about this matter."
"Yes, His Majesty said so."
Cao Zhengxian quickly agreed.
"How is the thing I arranged for you to do before?"
"What is your Majesty referring to?"
Cao Zhengxian was a little confused. Jingtai had instructed him to do a lot of things. After such a simple question, he really didn't understand what was going on at the first time.
Jingtai snorted lightly and pointed to the scroll on the table.
Cao Zhengxian suddenly realized it and said quickly:
"Back to Your Majesty, the whereabouts of Painting Saint Wu Daozi have been confirmed to be hiding in Shuzhou. I am stepping up the search. I think it won't take long to find him."
Jingtai nodded slightly:
"This guy is not simple. He has something very important to me in his hands. I will give you another half a year. If you can't find it, don't blame me for being unkind."
"Yes, I obey the order."
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Cao Zhengxian's forehead.
Although he was a strong man at the peak level of God Refining, he still felt fear in the face of this emperor whose cultivation was far inferior to his. He knew very well that even he could not break through the emperor's defense in the imperial city.
What's more, his methods are very weird!
He is a very extraordinary emperor.
"This Wu Daozi is very important. In addition to the things in his hands, I have obtained information. There is also a very important person beside him."
Jingtai narrowed his eyes slightly.
"who?"
Cao Zhengxian was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
This was the first time he heard His Majesty say this.
"The legitimate son and grandson of the former Chu Xiang royal family, Xiang Qianqiu's only son!" Jingtai said word by word.
"Isn't Xiang Lingtian dead?"
Cao Zhengxian knew that Chen Yuan had brought a human head back to Beijing, and that the head was Xiang Lingtian. After many verifications, he also knew the true identity of that person.
The current heir to the Xiang family.
Xiang Qianqiu is the former prince of Chu, so naturally he should be the current patriarch of the Xiang family, and the heir should be his son!
"Xiang Lingtian is not his son, he is just a younger generation whom he values more. Perhaps, the one who follows Wu Daozi is." Jingtai said in a solemn voice.
"How did your Majesty find out?"
Cao Zhengxian felt confused. He had never heard of such a thing.
"I have other channels to investigate. In short, I must capture these two people and bring them back to the capital. I will still be of great use."
"Yes, I obey the order."
Anyway, he was with Wu Daozi. As long as he found traces of Wu Daozi, he would naturally be able to find the so-called Xiang Lingtian's only son.
"These remnants have existed for too long, and the hidden dangers they have brought to the court are too great. They must be eradicated completely." A cold light flashed in Jingtai's eyes.
When the Sima family founded the country, they did not overthrow it from scratch, but established the Jin Dynasty on the basis of the former Chu state. Even many nobles in the capital now defected.
If the Xiang family counterattacks in the future, they may not switch sides again.
This is a huge hidden danger and a thorn in his side.
"Your Majesty said so."
Jingtai let out a long breath, and the atmosphere in the imperial study room was silent for a moment. Cao Zhengxian thought for a while and asked again:
"What position does Your Majesty plan to assign to Chen Yuan?"
Today's award only granted Chen Yuan a title, but did not give him any real power. Cao Zhengxian was delighted and at the same time curious about what the emperor's arrangements were.
The opponent has broken through Huayang and achieved great success, but is no longer suitable for the position of the Sky Patrolling Golden Envoy.
"Chen Yuan."
When Jingtai mentioned this name now, he was already a little unhappy.
This is caused by various reasons, including Liangzhou and other aspects.
In short, Jingtai found this person a little less pleasing to his eye than before.
I feel like this person is not that easy to control.
"What do you think?"
Jingtai asked back.
"I don't know, my Majesty. It's up to His Majesty to decide."
Cao Zhengxian would not make any remarks at this moment, so as not to cause the emperor's displeasure.
"When the Grand Governor resigned from office, he recommended Chen Yuan to me for the position of Divine Envoy of Heavenly Words. However, I don't want to give him this position so soon.
This man is arrogant and untamable, and his loyalty is to the world, not to the Sima family. "
Jingtai said.
Only then did a flash of realization flash in Cao Zhengxian's eyes.
The emperor's character is indeed the most difficult to predict.
"What your Majesty said is not unreasonable."
"And I heard that this person is a little close to the prince, huh." Jingtai snorted coldly.
It would be okay if Chen Yuan's influence and reputation were not that great, but his reputation was known to the world. What if he supported Sima Ke and let the other two princes do it?
"But speaking of it, the Fourth Highness does have some tricks. We all knew that he and Chen Yuan were not at odds with each other before. Deputy Commander Yang was sent to the border because of Chen Yuan. He thought that the two parties would never interact with each other. I didn't expect that the Fourth Highness could actually persuade this person. I don’t know what methods His Highness the Fourth Prince used.”
Regarding the prince, Cao Zhengxian couldn't say much, so he could only follow the emperor's words.
After listening to Cao Zhengxian's words, a smile appeared on Jingtai's face:
"This boy does have some means. He can put aside his grudges and use other means to win over Chen Yuan and get his support. If I hadn't been very fond of him."
Thinking about Concubine Shu, Jingtai still felt a little uncomfortable.
In any case, Sima Ke went too far. If he hadn't been concerned about the impact, Jingtai could have even killed him directly.
"The Fourth Highness's qualifications are indeed extraordinary and his methods are extraordinary."
Cao Zhengxian smiled coquettishly.
Obviously, he also knows some more secret things.
"This time, directing the wind direction to Chen Yuan cannot completely eliminate other people's suspicions, but it is enough." Jingtai said this abruptly, and then suddenly asked:
"Chen Yuan, what are you doing now?"
"I heard that several princes invited him to a banquet. Now, I think he has returned home."
"Well, Chen Yuan is indeed a person. It would be better if he could be completely loyal to the royal family." Jingtai shook his head and sighed.
"Your Majesty said so"
