MTL - I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man-Chapter 236 Comprehensive Fanwai: Return to the old flowers (1)
In March of the spring, the grass warbler flies. It is the season when all things sprout and flourish.
With the warmer weather, the people in Beijing couldn't wait to take off their heavy winter clothes, put on light spring clothes, and take advantage of their free time to travel and enjoy the lush green scenery.
Taiye Lake, the capital of Beijing, is naturally a popular destination for countless people.
The blue waves are all overwhelming and mighty, compared to ordinary people's outings on the river, rafting on the lake. The nobles have a much more luxurious way of playing. In particular, there are hundreds of wealthy mansions on the northern shore of Taiye Lake, one more luxurious than the other. Many have drawn in the lake water, with strange rocks as shores and green water as pools, and circled their own small Taiye Lake.
A manor in the east of it is rare today. This was originally a villa of an old king in Beijing. After the rebellion against the king, the heritage was cut off and it was taken back by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was not until the year before that that there was a new master, who was given to the newly enlisted Ennanhou. That is the emperor's cousin Chen Pin.
Today, Chen Pin hosted a banquet in the middle school and invited relatives and friends who were familiar with him. Compared with the veterans of the capital, the extravagant banquet that attracts hundreds or thousands of people at every turn. The court's upstart today is obviously very simple.
No more than a dozen friends and relatives were invited. Most of them are friends of Chen Pin's former classmates, or colleagues of the Hanlin Academy. If there is anything special, he is the new brother of Chen Guogong.
Since last winter, Nan Chen returned and dedicated the sailor fleet and the land of six counties. The emperor Long Yan Dayue also paid a generous reward to the deceased monarch. The hereditary Chen Guogong did not say that he also gave a lot of estates.
Four or five months later, after the formal ceremonial closure of the Qianyuan Hall, the pair of brothers lived in Yuci's mansion and made very few appearances. This is the first time to go out to a banquet.
Chen Yan stood on the lake and looked at the rippling lake.
Chen Li accompany him and laughed: "En Nanhou also prepared a boat for this trip. Later we can go to the lake to play. From the waterway gate in front, we can directly enter Taiye Lake."
Today, he pulled Chen Yue out of the house. Although as a king of the dead, you have to keep a low profile, but your own big brother is too low-key. I'm bored reading and writing in the study room all day, I'm afraid I'll be bored.
Taking advantage of Chen Pin's invitation today, he took him out to relax.
Before, there were many honorable wealthy men who invited the two to dinner. Since returning and being sealed, the wealthy wealthy men have been very interested in this southern Chen Yulang, and there are even some beauty-loving wealthy men who have repeatedly invited and tangled. It was just that Chen Feng was high, and the emperor often rewarded him, and no one dared to go too far.
Chen Li is not interested in such a boring banquet, let alone Chen Ye. During the Chinese New Year, I only walked around with Pei Ye and Fang Yuan a few times.
However, Chen Pin is an exception. As a newcomer to Beijing, he is low-key and doesn't like to deal with the wealthy family. He visited the Chen Chen brothers several times, perhaps because he came from the same source after all.
After getting in touch, Chen Xi didn't hate this gentle and elegant cousin, so he was willing to go out today.
I have been reading at home for too long, and I feel really bored.
The spring was bright, and Chen Ye felt a lot more cheerful. The two walked along the river, and soon reached the corridor.
Two big ships are ready.
The host Chen Pin greeted him with a smile, "The boat is ready, and we are waiting for two."
More than a dozen scholars on the shore have turned their attention. On any occasion, Chen Ye is the focus of everyone's eyes, not only because of his special identity, but also because of his outstanding appearance. And just above the banquet, his talent for exporting chapters has even convinced these scholars.
Chen Pin happily led the two to a large ship on the left. Most of the others boarded another.
That ship is more luxurious and exquisite, and there are dozens of singers with good color in it.
The ship where Chen Wei is is much quieter. Singer didn't have even the few servants she served. The scenery of the big ship is wide and comfortable.
Knowing how quiet Chen Chen was, Chen Pin did so.
There were also a few scholars who were with them, all quiet people who simply visited the lake to enjoy the scenery.
Chen Li smiled, "Couldn't the cousin be introduced?"
Chen Pin introduced these young people with a smile. To his surprise, most of them came from the Nan Chen family.
In particular, the scholar named Ye Kuang was handsome, talkative, and generous, and seemed to be a friend of Chen Pin.
"This is Ye Kuang, my classmate who was studying in Chengzhou Academy. He is from Yezhou, Michigan. He wants to participate in the next year's imperial examination. He came a year ahead of schedule, thinking of studying in the college here. .
Ye Kuang was the one who sent Nan Chen a love letter to Chen Pin when he was searched by Pingxiying. Later he passed it to the emperor, thus exposing the evil behavior of the southern army. Later, due to the war between the two countries, the situation in the capital city was very tense. Ye Kuangsheng was afraid of exposure and did not dare to stay long. He gave up the opportunity of the imperial examination and went straight south. Now that Haiqing Heyan and Nan Chen return, it is natural to try Jingke again.
Ye Family of Michigan, Chen Li shook his hand with this familiar name. Looking at Ye Kuang's eyes was a little complicated. Even Chen Yi was surprised, and could not help but glance at him and his brother. Fang asked, "You are a child of the Ye Family in Michigan, and Ye Zeli is yours ..."
Ye Kuang immediately replied: "It is the ancestor."
This sentence is embarrassing. Ye Zuli was the head of the Ye family. Ten years ago, Da Zhou soldiers and horses went south. It was he who secretly opened the city to surrender, which led to the defeat of the Michigan front, and even Bai Feihengdu soldiers were killed. He didn't feel anything at first, but at this time in front of this person, he felt a sense of shame.
No matter how to argue, grandfather is a betrayer.
A few scholars around him couldn't help showing different expressions.
Instead, Chen Huan calmed down and asked, "How good is he?"
"Uh, grandfather died of illness six years ago." Ye Kuang said carefully. Today his father is in charge of the big picture.
Chen Yan glanced at Chen Li and continued to smile: "I heard that you have an aunt married in Beijing."
Ye Kuang was very surprised: "I didn't expect Guogong to have heard of it."
Chen Yi smiled and said, "I have seen Ye Shanggong in the palace. She is intelligent and kind. I wonder if she is doing well now?"
No wonder he knew that his aunt had been a female officer in the palace for many years. Ye Kuang suddenly realized.
"My aunt is a man of extraordinary intelligence and talent. She has a lot of fate and was delayed by the palace ..." After speaking for a while, Ye Kuang came to his senses and quickly stopped. He was relieved to see that Chen Zhen was not angry, and even a kind of nostalgia appeared on his face.
"The aunt married the Jiang family in Beijing. These years, her uncle was released and is not in Beijing. However, he has already been reassigned in the spring of this year. It is said that he should be in harmony with the husband and wife and live in peace." Ye Kuang laughed.
"Ye Shanggong is full of talents and appearances. It was indeed the injustice of Nan Chen's court that delayed people." Chen Yi whispered.
Ye Kuang was very uneasy. He could not think that the last emperor of the Southern Chen Dynasty was so gentle and amiable, he said quickly: "It's just making things happen, and entering the palace as the official is the official woman." How can it be considered a delay.
"It's just an old thing, you still remember it so much." Chen Li interrupted the two with a smile.
Then everyone changed the subject.
Seeing Chen Huan's mild manner, several other scholars also gradually interjected, and the group talked quite warmly.
"Gonggong's" Xijiang Fu "was my favorite fu, and I started to recite it when I first entered the school. So far, I still feel full of chanting." A young man worshiped authentically.
"These years of vulgar affairs have plagued me, and I haven't had the mood to linger on poetry for more than a decade." Chen Yi smiled, "But if I have leisure in the future, I can pick it up."
With a smile, he was even more glorious, and everyone felt envious and close, but he did not dare to profane easily, and he became more and more respectful in his speech.
Several people had a chat, and Chen Pin ordered his servant to deliver fruit snacks.
Soon after the talk, Ye Kuang and Chen Pin got the fishing rod out again, clamoring for fishing.
Seems very lively, where is some quiet person. Chen Li looked at his cousin funny.
I spent a day in the upper reaches of Taiye Lake and had a dinner in Beizhuang.
Chen Ye and Chen Li set off to return.
They left the floor early, and the rest of the banquets had to visit the lantern festival at night.
"It's been a long time since I heard that Nan Chen Emperor was shocked. He was unparalleled in the world, and today I know that rumors are true."
"Well, in my opinion, it's hard to tell the full glory of such an immortal just for these eight characters."
"Not only is his talent extraordinary, but also such a corporal sage is so approachable. Seeing the death of Nan Chen is a matter of God's will and the crime of non-war."
This topic was a little bit extraordinary, and a few people quickly took a breath, regretful.
****
It was already dark.
Chen Kun rode on his horse and walked side by side with his brother. Surrounded by guards.
"It's good to walk out." Chen Li laughed.
For the first time, his brother appeared in the upper circle of Da Zhou, and it became the focus of everyone's attention. It's a good start.
Imagine the bleak days of the Nan Chen Clan who had been captured in Beijing. Their brothers were lucky enough.
Chen Yan said, "Otherwise you won't see your outstanding cousin."
"Ha, I was surprised to see him."
"Don't you think about meeting each other?"
"Forget it, knowing that they are doing well, I'm also assured, why bother to live side by side." Chen Li said with emotion. He is not a glorious identity now. Instead, the Ye family has worked for Da Zhou and the door is innocent, so don't disturb the quiet life.
And looking at the situation of the Ye family, when Ye Rou was lucky in the palace by Emperor Long An and gave birth to the prince, it was obviously concealed. Not even Ye Kuang, the bitch.
Anyway, there were not many people in the palace who knew about this in the days when the soldiers were in trouble.
It was a regret that Ye Rou had never been promoted in that year, but now it seems that he was blessed by disaster.
Chen Min paused and couldn't help but said, "Willn't such a party be probed by Qian Qiansi?"
As the surrendered host of the enemy nation, he came out for the first time to a banquet. Most of the participants were officials and scholars with a background of Nan Chen.
"Meeting some stingy lords, maybe they really think so, but now this one doesn't have such a small belly," Chen Li laughed.
"Well, it's my gentleman's heart to the gentleman's abdomen." Chen Zheng was serious.
Chen Li looked at him carefully, but he couldn't eat his own starling, was he kidding, or was he just a noisy man?
"Don't think too much, it's a bit upset, you all admire him so much." Chen Yan smiled and shook his head.
Regardless of whether it was Bai Guangxi or Chen Li, in fact, Wen Miao paid a visit to the south and returned to the south.
The emperor said that it was honest, thick, and gentle. In fact, if you take it seriously, the means are very dark and insidious. Chen Li secretly groaned, such a person, it is easy to make people feel hypocritical. But somehow, the emperor always felt particularly frank.
It's weird. Chen Li also couldn't explain the feeling of contradiction.
However, this cousin Chen Pin has a simple temperament and is worthy of association.
"Let's invite them to hunt in Bezhuang next month. It's boring to read a book at home every day," Chen Li suggested cheerfully. When the Emperor was sealed, the emperor also generously rewarded many manor fields. Brothers loved hunting when they were two teenagers.
The two were talking, passing through the woods in the east of Taiye Lake, and a sudden whistle came from the front.
Chen Li hesitated. This sound seemed to be a whistle of action in the Perak camp.
Not far away, is there any action in the vicinity of Perak Camp? And listening to the tone of the whistle as if asking for help.
Chen Li hesitated slightly, then turned around and said, "My brother, you take someone home first. I'll check it out."
Chen Yimei, "I don't know what it is, why work?"
"Perhaps my former colleague, I'll say hello." Chen Li laughed.
Chen Ye was helpless, and could only assign a small team of guards to follow him. He did not leave, but stopped and waited.
However, unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Chen Li was not returned. Chen Xun gradually realized that the situation was wrong, and ordered Lei Yangbing to take the guard to check it.
Da Zhou's hereditary first-class men can have a guard of no more than a thousand people. After the return of Nan Chen, all the generals such as Yuan Chong transferred to North Korea. Lei Yangbing refused to leave Chen Kun and became the captain of the guard.
Soon after the investigation, bad news was brought back.
Chen Li is missing!
At that time, the six guards who followed Chen Li were found stunned on the ground.
After Lei Yangbing's emergency treatment, they woke up and explained the scene at that time.
Several of them followed Chen Li to the east. The woods were denser here, but the whistle gradually lowered. Chen Li ordered them to divide into three groups to search for the source of the sound. After a short search, several guards were quietly resolved. Already.
Although the number of guards who remained with Chen Ye was small, they were all elites of Nan Chen, who could be stunned by each other so quietly. The opponent must be a master and more than one.
Chen Yan was sweating for a moment, how is Chen Li now?
Lei Yangbing knelt down and pleaded guilty, "all the subordinates were negligent." And comforted, "Grandpa please don't worry, this hands-on force did not hurt the guards, just stunned, showing that they are not malicious to us."
"That's for us. But not for Jiudi!" Chen Yan gritted his teeth.
Over the years, Chen Li has been dormant for many weeks, and has done a lot of things that hurt them, and may have also formed a powerful enemy. At this point people were taken away, and I still don't know what to do.
There has never been such a moment, I regretted myself for letting Jiudi lurk the enemy.
How to do? Their brothers were completely isolated in the capital. Bai Guangxi went south to build a base ten days ago to prepare for the recruitment of the southern army, not in the capital. And Chen Pin is just an empty Ennanhou.
After a short hesitation, Chen Min gritted his teeth and said, "Go to Qingyunfang, Pei House immediately."
