Chen Yuan could feel that the Commander-in-Chief of the Tianxian Division seemed a little strange when he faced him. He had not been like this before. Basically, he became like this after returning from Liangzhou.
There seems to be some care.
It's a pity that Chen Yuan was thinking about it and couldn't figure out the connection. He could only guess that Xiao Jing might have something to do with him, but he couldn't think about the rest at all.
The main thing is that this thing is indeed too amazing.
The dignified second-rank official and the almost most powerful Governor of the Tianxian Division was actually related to the Xiang family, a remnant of the previous dynasty. No one dared to think about it.
After mentioning Chen Yuan, Xiao Jing didn't say anything more.
Overall, it went relatively smoothly. Although the south was a bit chaotic, it finally got out of the quagmire of the capital. It gave Chen Yuan a year to grow up, and perhaps he would be given even greater surprises in the future.
Zhang Yantong nodded without saying anything, but Wu Tianxi smiled with slight admiration.
Tough emperor!
This is definitely not a trivial matter. Looking at the entire Jin Dynasty, how many people dare to do this?
Although the emperor only has Dan realm cultivation and his strength is nothing at all, he represents the entire court and the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the entire world.
And with the protection of the national fortune of the dynasty, no one under the true king can get close at all.
Even a powerful true king may not be able to kill the emperor.
At least he didn't think he had the guts to do this.
This is actually not much different from getting tired of living.
Chen Yuan showed kindness to the colleagues who had taken the lead to help him speak. After chatting for a few words as if no one else was around, he left the imperial city and returned to the Marquis Wu'an Mansion.
But at this moment, the scenes in the palace and the imperial study were frightening.
Some valuable porcelain, calligraphy and paintings were scattered on the floor, the fragments were broken into pieces, and the decoration of half of the imperial study room was destroyed.
Jingtai was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, his face was extremely gloomy, his eyes were filled with cold light, murderous intent was surrounding him, and he was surrounded by a huge aura within a radius of several feet.
"call"
Jingtai let out a long breath and frowned.
The bloodthirsty feeling was somewhat uncontrollable. I was provoked by Chen Yuan's confrontation in the Jinluan Palace. Although I suppressed the anger in my heart at that time, it had to be released.
With a wave of his hand, all the broken pieces in the royal study disappeared without a trace and returned to their original state. Apart from missing some decorations, there was not much difference from before.
As an emperor, he should be happy and angry.
And he won't let anyone notice his weirdness.
After a while, a trembling eunuch outside the door whispered:
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Cao has arrived."
"Let him in."
Jingtai's face was expressionless, and he returned to his previous Gujing Wubo look.
Harem, inside Chunhua Palace.
What happened between Jingtai and Chen Yuan in the Jinluan Palace today has been passed on to the imperial concubine Yang Huanyu through many eyes and ears.
I can't help but worry about it.
Contradict the Holy Majesty and disobey the emperor's order!
If it were anyone else, I am afraid that today would not be a good one. If he were not Chen Yuan, there would be blood splattering in the Jinluan Palace today!
It's really shocking and scary at the same time.
The eldest princess Pingyang's face was dull, and she could not tell the emotions. Today's events had also reached her ears. For a moment, she really didn't know whether to be happy or frustrated.
She didn't want to get married and have a husband and children. This was a goal she had set long ago.
For this reason, she gradually pushed herself to become very good, making all the young talents in the capital feel ashamed and did not dare to compare with them. But at this moment, Chen Yuan appeared out of nowhere.
He is better than her!
Unparalleled in the world, he has extraordinary temperament, amazing talent, and superb methods. Sometimes he is ruthless and ruthless, and sometimes he is cunning and secretive.
Sometimes he breaks the situation because of his anger and anger.
Sometimes he is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of thousands of people, just for the safety of the people.
It only took him less than two and a half years to go from a small Ping'an County in a remote place to the world.
Let me ask, who in the world doesn’t know Chen Qingshi?
He is the dream man among thousands of women.
Princess Pingyang thought she would never be tempted, but when rumors spread in the capital, she subconsciously thought about what it would be like to marry Chen Yuan.
In Shuanghe Temple, if Chen Yuan agreed directly, Pingyang would never refuse.
But he didn't.
Treat her like nothing.
He didn't have the slightest intention of being interested in her.
This seemed to be her first failure since she could remember.
And she seemed to have some unwillingness to admit defeat, and unexpectedly went to Lin'an Mansion to see the fish leaping over the dragon gate. When she returned to the mansion, she didn't know what she was thinking at that time.
"I've met my mother-in-law."
Princess Pingyang, who was summoned by her mother, looked at her mother, who had been glowing recently, and bowed in salute.
It is inevitable that some curiosity will arise in my heart.
After not seeing each other for a while, it seems that great changes have taken place in the mother-in-law.
"Pingyang is here, sit down."
Concubine Yang smiled faintly and asked her to sit in front of her.
Not to mention that his attitude towards her is completely different from before, but the gap is definitely not small.
"Thank you, concubine."
With some thoughts in mind, Princess Pingyang sat down slowly.
"Have you heard about what happened at the court today?"
"I've heard some."
Princess Pingyang nodded slightly.
She learned about such a big thing almost immediately, and could predict that such a shocking thing would definitely spread throughout the capital and even the world in a short period of time.
"what are you thinking?"
Concubine Yang asked with a smile.
At the beginning, she did resist Chen Yuan marrying Princess Pingyang, and she felt uncomfortable even just talking about it. But then she met Chen Yuan, and after he suppressed the stubborn illness in her body and dredged her qi and blood, she seemed to give up.
At that time, he persuaded Chen Yuan to accept it.
But he didn't know why, but his attitude was very determined.
It made her confused.
In fact, in her opinion, being able to marry into the Sima family was definitely a good thing for Chen Yuan. Refusing to offend the emperor because of this was obviously not worth the gain.
"Marquis Wu'an has refused, what can I think?" Princess Pingyang pretended not to care. Her temperament was still cold, so that no one would notice anything strange.
"Your Majesty will not let it go. You have also heard about the one-year promise. Chen Yuan cannot complete the goals that Your Majesty has set for him in one year, and he will marry you by then."
"Let's talk about it then, maybe there will be some changes."
Princess Pingyang smiled.
It seemed like it was just a casual remark, but in fact, she had some vague premonition in her heart. I was afraid that something shocking would happen to her one year later.
It feels indescribable, but it does exist.
"Well, you just have to think about it in your mind. My mother-in-law has recently figured it out. You can't blame Marquis Wu An for what happened to your uncle. You can just treat the words I said in the past as in the past. If you really mean it, my mother-in-law will not stop you." your.
Chen Yuan is a good choice. You are not young anymore and you should have considered this matter long ago. "
Princess Pingyang rarely contradicted her mother-in-law and lowered her head without speaking.
After staying in Chunhua Palace for a while, Princess Pingyang stood up to leave. She stood outside the palace gate and sighed softly. She didn't know what she thought of and shook her head.
Chen Yuan, who had returned to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion since he went to court, was not in a hurry to leave immediately. Jingtai had already assigned him responsibilities in front of all the civil and military officials.
He was in charge of military affairs in Shuzhou, Xuezhou, Nanzhou and the three states.
It's impossible to go back on your word.
You may be angry in your heart, but you must keep it in your heart.
The imperial edict has not yet been issued, so he is in no hurry to leave at the moment.
And what he didn't know but could predict came true.
The rumors about the disobedience and disobedience to the emperor in the Jinluan Palace quickly caused a huge commotion in the capital.
Disobeying the imperial authority and disdain to get married.
The world is not settled, so why should we take care of our family?
These things spread quickly and caused great shock.
His popularity is very high, and he is at a recent juncture, so his impact is not ordinary.
Many people ignored the one-year agreement and only talked about his tough fight with Jingtai.
Most people admire it when they hear it.
He said that Chen Yuan was a true husband, and no one in the court could match him.
However, some people think that Chen Yuan is too strong and easy to break. It is obviously a good thing, but he refused it abruptly.
If it were them, they wouldn't need the emperor's marriage permission at all, they would just find a way to propose marriage.
But these people are still only a small minority.
The place that really caused the huge shock was actually Jianghu!
The imperial court and the rivers and lakes have always been in opposition. Even if they are not at odds with each other, they are definitely not much better. In many state capitals below, the rivers and lakes forces are not in favor of the government, and some even hinder them.
There is no way, when individuals gain strength, they will naturally flout the law.
I feel that these things should not be something that restrains them.
They should be talented people.
Therefore, many people call those who take refuge in the imperial court or have a deep relationship with the imperial court as 'eagle dogs'.
But Chen Yuan is one of the few exceptions.
The things he has done in the past two years are not things done by an eagle dog, but things done by a strong man and a good official. Breaking the illusion of Xumi in the capital is still a small matter.
What really made him famous and admired all over the world was the previous battle in Liangzhou City.
After that battle, everyone knew that Chen Yuan died generously and sacrificed small righteousness for greater righteousness. How could anyone not admire him?
It was at that time that his reputation was truly recognized by most people in the world.
Now, Jingtai is standing at the top of the Jinluan Palace, which has made countless powerful people applaud and applaud, thinking that this is what a man should do. After hearing about the one-year appointment, many people even scolded Jingtai for not leaving anyone behind. road.
The imperial court has not recovered Xuezhou for so many years. There are only two jurisdictions under the imperial court, but Chen Yuan is allowed to recover one-third of the territory. Is this a human thing?
The territory of Xuezhou is huge, one of the best in the world.
One-third of the territory must be at least five prefectures.
It’s too hard to imagine.
Because as soon as you make a move, you will be met with the same hatred and resistance from the Blood State, where the martial arts are fierce and most of the fierce people in the world gather together.
Is it so easy to get?
As these people added fuel to the fire angrily, within a few days, things evolved into Chen Yuan angrily criticizing Jingtai for his mediocre martial arts in the Jinluan Palace, and would have killed the king had it not been for the two princes who stopped him.
Some people who had witnessed that scene didn't know what to say after hearing about it.
They all knew that the emperor was still aggressive in nature at the court meeting, and Chen Yuan resisted, so how could he have the courage to angrily accuse the emperor of being stupid?
Even if he has great achievements, he still cannot survive.
Sima Ke originally wanted to go to the Marquis Mansion to meet Chen Yuan after going to court, to deepen the relationship and get some help. However, before he even walked out, the palace's decree came down.
The overall meaning is to let him sharpen himself in the Tianxun Division and not get too close to the court officials.
As for who he was referring to, it was naturally easy for people to guess.
The capital has been so noisy for several days in a row, and Chen Yuan has not gone to court since then to avoid another dangerous situation.
On the second day after returning to Marquis Wu'an, he was in the Tianxun Division.
Chen Yuan, Zhang Yantong and others waited for the imperial edict.
Chen Yuan was in charge of the three southern states of Shuxue.
Zhang Yantong is in charge of Lanzhou affairs, and Wu Tianxi is in charge of Youzhou affairs. They can only return to Beijing after the matter is over.
Only Zuo Tiancheng, a divine envoy, was left to guard the important place in the capital.
Looking at the imperial edict in his hand, a faint smile appeared on Chen Yuan's lips. It had been more than a month since he returned to the capital, and a lot of things had happened.
Now he finally achieved his goal.
Return to the South!
That is his base camp, and most of the Taoist masters of the Taoist Palace are in the south. He can get more help, although he has been a little unstable recently.
But compared to the north, the south is more suitable for him.
The imperial edict is settled and everything is fine.
Chen Yuan was also able to go back safely.
"The matter in Shuzhou is very urgent. Don't delay too long in the capital."
Zhang Yantong walked to his side and said.
I hope he leaves the capital as soon as possible.
In the Jinluan Palace before, he could tell that Chen Yuan was disgusted by the emperor. If he delayed for a long time, he would inevitably be reprimanded or even take back this hard-won opportunity.
"Uncle, don't worry, I understand."
Chen Yuan nodded solemnly.
How could he not understand this truth?
With the imperial edict in hand, he will set off tomorrow. Some of the elites in the capital have already gone ahead, and he will catch up later.
Lu Renjia, the golden envoy of Shuzhou, died. Chen Yuan was the commander-in-chief of the three states. There was also a Tiandan master who went with him, who had a deep relationship with Lu Renjia.
His name is Lu Renyi, and he is his blood brother.
Wu Tianxi is regarded as the golden envoy of this department, but when he met Chen Yuan, he behaved very respectfully and did not dare to be rude at all, which still satisfied Chen Yuan.
"Okay, before I leave, go see Wanshu and say goodbye to her."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yantong turned and left.
He didn't know if Zhang Wanshu was responsible for Chen Yuan's rejection of the emperor's marriage offer, but he felt that it shouldn't be the case. There were deeper reasons, but his silly daughter pretended to believe it.
I sat in the yard all afternoon yesterday with a smile on my face.
Chen Yuan is a rare and wonderful man in the world, but in Zhang Yantong's opinion, he is not a good match.
His ambition is too great and his luck is too good. It is hard to say whether he will be able to grow up in the future, especially now that his relationship with the emperor is not harmonious.
It's just that his daughter likes it, so what can he do?
Is it possible that I still control it?
That's not the case.
He also watched Chen Yuan grow up step by step. If the relationship was too bad, he would not be considered an ally.
"Uncle, don't worry."
Looking at Zhang Yantong's back as he strode away, Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.
After the Tianxun Division carefully understood some of the secrets of the south, Chen Yuan prepared to leave early the next morning, but before leaving, he still had to go to Shuanghe Temple again.
Li Hongshuang did not hesitate to intercede with Li Kuangxiu, who was not on good terms with her, so she naturally needed to be thanked.
I also got to meet the old temple master of Qingyun Temple.
All in all, the time is not too generous.
In order not to waste time, Chen Yuan's first stop was Shuanghe View. He thanked Li Hongshuang and expressed his attitude, but the other party told him not to pay too much attention.
There's not much she can do to help, that's all.
When he got to the south in the future, he would still have to rely on himself.
After chatting for a while, as a messenger, he got another letter from Li Hongshuang and was going to give it to his lover, Tianjian Dao Master Jiang He, when he was passing through Qingzhou.
When he appeared again, it was already dark at noon.
Master Tianxu seemed to have expected him to come. It was rare that he did not go out to practice medicine, but set up a chessboard in the small courtyard.
"A game of chess?"
Old Taoist Tianxu asked softly without raising his head.
"good."
He is not very interested in playing chess, and his skills are naturally not very good. He only knows some simple layouts.
"Snapped."
Tianxu Laozi said casually:
"Pindao first congratulates the Marquis for leaving the capital and returning to the south."
"It's the same thing to congratulate you when I come back."
Chen Yuan's eyes were calm as he picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.
"When are you coming back?"
"The time set by Jingtai is one year from now. If nothing else happens, that will be when I come back."
"Isn't it a little short?"
"It's not short anymore, a year is a long time."
Chen Yuan shook his head.
To others, a year is just a blink of an eye, but to him, it is already a long time.
As long as the children of destiny continue to grow, he can grow up very quickly.
"It seems to be the same for you."
Old Taoist Taixu chuckled.
He had also heard about the speed of Chen Yuan's growth, from a county police officer in the Foundation Establishment realm to the current Marquis of Ten Thousand Households in the Imperial Court, and now the youngest Master Huayang.
It only took more than two years.
"Doesn't the Taoist Master have anything to say?"
Chen Yuan got straight to the point.
The other party met him several times and always taught him. Chen Yuan didn't believe that he just gave some advice because he liked the junior. Wouldn't it be a good idea to talk about it?
"What do you want Pindao to say?"
Old Taoist Taixu asked back.
"What should I say? The Taoist Master knows it in his heart. Does it still need Chen to say it?"
"I really don't know what to say."
Smiling, while twisting the chess piece, Master Taixu said.
"Well, in that case, let's play chess."
Seeing that he was cheating, Chen Yuan stopped asking and just played chess.
Seeing that the game of chess was over and the opponent had forced him to a dead end, Chen Yuan's eyes seemed to really show a battlefield where one party was fighting.
"Master Marquis, you have reached a dead end. What are your next steps?"
Chen Yuan smiled faintly:
"Now that we've been pushed to a dead end, there's no need to do it again. My character will just flip the table. It's hard for me and it's hard for everyone. What do you think, Taoist Priest?"
