It was getting late, and Chen De had just explained everything clearly. He walked into Huang Wen's boudoir quite apologetically. The candlelight was dim, and the daughter was already fast asleep on the small bed. The pretty figure was leaning on the baby's bed, with her head buried in her arms. It seemed that she had fallen asleep unknowingly while looking at the baby.
Chen De tiptoed up behind her, a faint fragrance of hair fat filled his nose. He gently held the delicate body in his arms, and just as he was about to be intimate, the delicate body suddenly stiffened, and then a cry of surprise came from him. After breaking away from his arms, Zhou Hou stepped back and combed some scattered locks of hair with his hands. His face was red and he looked at Chen De with a mixture of shock and anger.
Chen De was speechless and stood there at a loss, and said indifferently: "How did you, I thought" He originally planned to use the camera to rescue Li Yu, who had helped him, from Jinling, so he paid great attention to it. Don't have anything to do with Zhou Hou, who knows something went wrong. If this Zhou Hou misunderstands his illness, it will be a huge injustice.
However, Zhou Hou quickly calmed down and explained in a low voice: "Nvshi Huang has not returned from inspecting the injured, so I will take care of the young master on her behalf." In a panic, she blurted out the previous title. The Chen De in front of him was already a prince with tens of thousands of troops, intimidating the barbarians and threatening the emperor. He was no longer the young minister who impressed the emperor with two good poems.
When Chen De saw that she didn't want to pursue the case, he bowed and apologized: "I behaved awkwardly, please forgive me, Madam." Since Zhou Hou was taken to Lanzhou, in order to avoid being noticed, Chen De also addressed her as Madam. Originally, It meant the Duke and Lady of Longxi County, but it seemed to be ambiguous at the moment. Queen Zhou's originally red cheeks were even redder, so she could only whisper: "Since the Lord personally takes care of the young lady, I will go back to rest now." He claimed. When I got out of bed, my cheeks felt hot again. I couldn't help but hold my chest and scold myself for being so careless.
Just at this moment, Huang Wen pushed the door open and came in. Seeing the awkward look of the two of them facing each other in the room, she explained to Chen De apologetically: "There have been many injuries in the city these days, and there are many people in the house. Concubine." I want to arrange for the treatment of the injured sergeant, so I asked my sister to move in and take care of my daughter." Huang Wen said to me, when I came to my sister, Zhou Hou felt palpitations again and her pretty face turned red.
Chen Dezheng felt guilty and said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, you did a good job." The two said goodbye to Zhou Hou, who left in a hurry as if running away. Only then did Chen Dezheng hold his wife in his arms, and the two parted for the day. For a long time, this tenderness, lingering love, and wanton love are really not something outsiders can appreciate. Until the clouds opened and the rain dispersed, Chen Deyou looked with interest at the intoxicating look of the beautiful lady in his arms with rosy cheeks. Huang Wen said shyly, "Don't look at it." while covering his eyes with her hands. Chen De smiled and said, "Finally, you can help me with my lovesickness." Huang Wen spat, "I don't know who you miss, so why do I feel pity for Princess Uighur?"
Seeing that this gentle and pleasant lady was sometimes jealous, Chen De couldn't help but feel happy, and he couldn't help teasingly saying: "Mrs. Mistress, would you like to take a knife and take a look?" Huang Wen was ashamed when she heard this and refused: "Are I that jealous?"
A farewell is better than a wedding. After the tender love, Huang Wen snuggled in Chen De's arms and begged softly: "Sister, I miss Your Majesty and want to come to Beijing with us, is it okay?" Unable to resist, Chen De reluctantly mustered up all his strength, suppressed the surging impulse that had just died down, and said in a low voice: "This won't work. There are many old officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty in Bianliang City, walking around, and once someone is If you recognize it, it will be a huge trouble, and you may miss something important."
Huang Wen could only feel sad for Queen Zhou. He suddenly changed his mind and said, "I have met many courtiers when I was in the south of the Yangtze River. If someone recognizes me, wouldn't it be possible to implicate my husband?" Chen De didn't worry about the repercussions. Laughing, he said in a deep voice: "It's just right. The reputation of being lecherous and dishonest will spread, so that Zhao Jiong will despise me, and it will be convenient." He couldn't explain too much to Huang Wen about the various arrangements after arriving in Bianliang, so he only talked to her The soft words were gentle, and before he knew it, the red candles were burned out and the night was quiet. There were only a few babies crying occasionally, which did not wake up Chen De, who had been working hard all the way. For him, in the past few months, he had never slept like he did tonight. I felt so secure that I didn¡¯t even have a dream.
Setting off early the next morning, under the sad and sad eyes of Hou Zhou who learned the news, Chen De was quite ashamed to ride on his white horse, took Huang Wen's carriage and three hundred tooth troops, and went out of the city to meet Dong Zunyi. Tian Qinzuo, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army who had received a large sum of benefits from Xiao Jiu, also sent him off in person.
The army marched along the east bank of the Yellow River. The Yellow River was a little clear in the west of the river, but when it reached the east of the river, it was already a vast, turbulent and turbid current. The waves were roaring along the way, which opened the eyes of those Shazhou soldiers who had rarely seen big rivers since they grew up. , after arriving at Hezhong Prefecture, he transferred to an official ship and headed to Bianliang. Chen De had no problem traveling by boat or horse. However, more than half of the three hundred tooth soldiers were so faint on the boat that they almost vomited bile. Zhang Zhongyao is also in charge of the Ya military campThe captain of the Yingying camp, whose external identity is the judge of the Jiedu envoy in Anxi, often goes to the head of the boat, thinking about the time when he went to the court to ask for help on behalf of the Guiyi army, and met the Jiedushi envoys from two towns on the way back to Beijing. He made an impassioned speech to the court but was received coldly. past events. When he entered the capital this time, he was supported by tens of thousands of Paoze brothers. Looking at the Western Regions, he had the courage to sweep across all wastes. Even the Central Plains court and the Liao Kingdom had to spend money to win over and appease him. Compared with Jin Xi, Zhang Zhongyao couldn't help feeling filled with emotion.
The boat traveled very quickly and arrived at Bianliang in a short time. Following the old practice of receiving Jiedu envoys, Chen De and the three hundred tooth troops rested for a night at the posthouse next to the pier. Zhang Zhongyao told Chen De about the past events of meeting Zhang Mei and Liu Yanrang here. Chen De touched his palm and smiled and said: "The imperial court has veteran generals and warriors but cannot use them. I will get Zhong Yao and Cheng Ying Yingpao Ze. Isn't it great? It's a big revelation!" He pulled Zhang Zhong Yao to drink until late at night. He seemed to be summoned by the imperial court. Not caring at all. As expected, in order to dampen Chen De's arrogance, Zhao Jiong deliberately left him in the mansion for a month before summoning him to see him.
In addition to the eunuchs, the person who came to summon him was his old friend Wang Qian. He first revealed the truth in Lanzhou City to the court, and then attempted to launch a Zoroastrian rebellion, which almost led to catastrophe. Fortunately, he was foiled by the Inquisition and Xiao Jiu. Therefore, after Chen De received the palace envoy, he saw that he stayed in the palace and his attitude towards him was extremely cold. After hinting several times that the prince was still shamelessly unwilling to leave, Chen De stood up and wanted to return to the inner courtyard.
Just as he stood up, Wang Qian said, "I wonder if Empress Zhou is still well in Lanzhou?" Chen De's body trembled, and he had no choice but to sit down again, picking up the tasteless tea cup and sipping it again. He took a sip, straightened his face, and said in a deep voice: "What Brother Miquan said, I don't understand the next point."
Wang Qian saw that his plan was successful, so he was not arrogant. He stood up and bowed respectfully to Chen Deshen, then said: "Brother Chen, Wang Qian did something wrong to you in the past, and I apologize to you here." Chen De's nose "hum". He said in one voice: "If your wife, children and children are sold to my enemies by me, will you be willing to divorce me?"
Wang Qian choked on his words and said with a wry smile: "I really have some reasons for being dissatisfied. However, Brother Chen did not express his anger towards Zoroastrianism because of this. He did not ban the spread of Zoroastrianism in Hexi and treated it equally with many orthodox religions, which made Wang Qian even more embarrassed. Although I feel ashamed to come to see Brother Chen, His Majesty ordered me to come and announce the summons, but I can't avoid it. Now that I have seen him, I will apologize to Brother Chen. Brother Chen is so generous and I accept it calmly, which makes me feel at ease. Farewell." After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Chen De to speak, leaving Chen De to ponder in his seat. Is this Wang Qian a gentleman with an open mind, or a villain who is good at figuring out people's psychology? In short, he will respect ghosts and gods from now on. The farther away the better. Since he thought that Empress Zhou could threaten him with this matter, he would naturally not tell it out easily. To put it another way, even if he did publicize it, the Empress Zhou people would not be in Bianliang. Who could believe him? There are many civil and military officials in the dynasty, but who has the ability to go to Hexi to look for people? Thinking that there was no other flaw, Shi Shiran turned around and returned to the back hall.
In the morning of the next day, all the wise men gathered in the Chongzheng Hall. The civil and military elites of the Song Dynasty discussed major national events here, from commending chaste and martyr women to preparing for the crusade against Taiyuan. Chen De was fortunate enough to join the ranks of senior generals such as Zhang Mei and Liu Yanrang. He stood respectfully for the whole morning. It was not until the court was about to leave that he completed the memorial for the feudal officials to come to court under the arrangement of the officials of the Ministry of Rites. He originally thought that this would One day of ringing the bell came to an end. Chen De was just about to return to court to loosen his ankle when he suddenly heard Zhao Jiong ask: "After Chen Qing's military career, he suddenly settled down in Bianliang. How can he get used to it?"
Chen De'an replied seriously: "Everyone likes to have fun and hates hard work. Bianliang is prosperous and makes people forget to leave. Is there any reason why De'an can't get used to it?" As soon as he finished speaking, a civil servant in blue court uniform suddenly came out of work and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I am admonishing the official Zhang Yi to impeach the Anxi Jiedu envoy Chen De, who covets the riches of the capital and has the intention to peek at the artifacts of the Central Plains!"
Although Chen De, who has lived in two lifetimes, has almost mastered the legendary golden bell mask's iron-faced magic, he was still so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood! This kind of groundless impeachment is impossible to argue with. It simply shows that Zhao Jiong intended to beat Chen De and deliberately framed him.
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged! Zhang Bai was clearly not angry with Chen for snatching the singer he liked when he was in Jinling, and he took advantage of the suspicion to take revenge on me." Chen De shouted loudly and full of grief and indignation. Zhang Mei, the general of Zuo Xiaowei standing next to him, originally looked calm and untroubled. After hearing Chen De's words of injustice, he almost laughed out loud. In order not to lose the court etiquette, he could only endure it with all his strength. He stopped, but the beard under his chin was still twitching. The same goes for the veteran gangsters Xiang Gong and Liu Yanrang. Their beards were twitching and their eyes looking at Chen De had a hint of warmth.
Note: "Shishuoxinyu.Xianyuan" "Huan Xuanwu pacified Shu, and took Li Shimei as his concubine." Liu Xiao's annotation quoted Yu Tong of the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty's "Jealousy Notes": "Wen pacified Shu, and took Li Shimei as his concubine." The princess was jealous, but she didn't know it immediately. Later, she found out that she went to Li's house with a knife because she wanted to cut him. She saw Li combing his hair by the window, with a beautiful appearance and slowly knotting his hair. He turned his hands to the Lord, with a leisurely expression and a very sad speech. The master then threw the knife and hugged it in front of him: "My son, I feel sorry for you when I see you, let alone the old slave." So he was kind." Later, he said, "I see you still.""Pity" is a word used to describe a beautiful woman.
