As the saying goes, nephew Mo Ruomu, no one knows Chen Yu better than the old lady. Regardless of her body, she rushed forward and grabbed Chen Yu's hand, refusing to let go of anything: "You must not go!" Your father died in battle, and I have never complained for so many years, because I know that is his ambition in life. Even at the last moment of his life, he won't regret it, but my son, you're different. You don't like the twists and turns of officialdom when you are young, you just want to be an idle wild crane, if you stay for the Chen family, I won't be blind! ”

An old man's words are enough to show her determination.

But Chen Yu shook his head with a smile: "Mother, those are no longer my ambitions now, now I just want to guard my mother and the Chen family well." ”

The old lady wanted to say something more, but opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything.

Chen Yu turned his head to the housekeeper and said, "Uncle Chen, you send your mother back to rest, I will go out for a trip, and I may come back later." ”

Then he turned away under the gaze of the housekeeper and the old lady, and soon disappeared completely from people's sight. The old lady's eyes were full of tears, full of remorse: "I shouldn't have used myself to blackmail him in the first place, I should have let him leave the capital early!" ”

It turned out that Chen Yu had the idea of leaving the capital back then.

At that time, he was young and vigorous, and he didn't care about the consequences, and he was about to leave the capital to go to the rivers and lakes, and the critical moment was that the old lady had little time to spend on herself, and she didn't even have a person to do her filial piety in front of the grave when she didn't want to die, so she stopped her. If she had known today, the old lady would never stop him!

The old lady closed her eyes in despair: "Creation makes people!" ”

On the other side, Chen Yugang walked out of the door of the mansion with the little servant.

The little guy followed him in confusion, confused. His son-in-law is a well-known filial son in the capital, except for a few years ago when he almost left the capital for his dream, he has never done a single thing to disobey the old lady, what is wrong today? Just when he was waiting outside the door, he faintly heard the sound of arguing inside, and then his son-in-law rushed out of the door with a gloomy expression.

Doubts are doubts, but the little girl didn't dare to ask more, only said: "Son, didn't you just return home?" You haven't even sat down yet, where do you want to go? “

"Go to the palace." Chen Yutou didn't reply.

The Chen family was not far from the palace, and it didn't take long for the two of them to come outside the palace gate.

Originally, Chen Yu was still thinking about how to sneak into the palace to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, but he never expected that as soon as he came to the palace gate, an attendant greeted him with a smile.

"This is the young son of Old General Chen's mansion, right? The minions were ordered to wait here. The chamberlain said respectfully.

Chen Yu's face changed again.

The people of the entire palace are working hard for the royal family, and at this time, Feng Changqi is not in the capital, so it is naturally clear whose orders he is taking. It seems that the other party is 100% prepared before going to the Chen Mansion, and he has calculated that he will definitely not leave the Chen family alone! Chen Yu secretly gritted his teeth and scolded the inkstone in his heart I don't know how many times.

"Father-in-law, please lead the way."

The palace people who reported the news came to the outside of the imperial study first, and at that time, Zhu Yan and Lord Shen were discussing matters, and when they heard Chen Yu coming, their eyes lit up.

Holding the inkstone, he rarely showed a happy mood: "Good come, invite Chen Gongzi in." ”

Chen Yu was invited in like this.

The two people in front of him, one is an important minister of the court above 10,000 people under one person, and the other is His Royal Highness the Prince of Meng Liguo, both of whom are extremely noble statuses, but when he entered the door, he did not have the slightest inferiority complex, and there was a great style of general in his words and deeds.

is really worthy of the son of the general, just his appearance and bearing, I don't know how many times better than Liang Kun!

If the person who led the army to attack Jiangcheng was Chen Yu, those people in the court who talked about Liang Kun's identity would probably have nothing to say. What worries me the most at the moment is Chen Yu's loyalty.

Fang Tou Yan was discussing this issue with Lord Shen, Lord Shen proposed to let Chen Yu be the main general, Liang Kun as the deputy general, and at the same time check and balance each other, and then take a cronie who Tou Yan felt trustworthy to secretly supervise, so it was natural to have Chen Yu firmly in his hands.

However, Zhu Yan has a different idea, that is, to use the lives of more than 100 members of the Chen family as a threat, especially Chen Yu's mother should be taken as a hostage. Everyone knows that Chen Yu does not chase fame and fortune, the only estimate he cares about is blood kinship, and they can use blood kinship to firmly control Chen Yu.

Lord Shen had expressed his approval at the time, but now that he saw Chen Yu's appearance, he suddenly felt that this plan was not feasible again.

Holding Yan smiled and praised Chen Yu, and waited until the other party obviously showed a dissatisfied expression, he stopped his mouth and asked Chen Yu why he came this time.

Chen Yu didn't expect him to throw such a question, after all, it was the Yan who went to the Chen family to ask for someone, and he was the one who asked the chamberlain to wait in front of the palace gate, so he couldn't be ignorant, right?

Chen Yu gritted his teeth: "When my father was alive, it was the responsibility of the people to rise and fall in the country!" In the past, the first emperor of Meng Li had never been in trouble, and the grass people slacked off, thinking that they were dispensable....... However, after hearing about Meng Liguo's current situation in the teahouse in the past two days, he couldn't sit still. Caomin wanted to follow his father's example and join the army and do his part for Meng Liguo, but at this time, Meng Liguo did not have a conscription, so Caomin wanted to ask His Highness for a favor. ”

"Do you really want to join the army? How did this king hear that you are an idle person, and you don't like the things of the court the most on weekdays......."

"That was before, and now Meng Liguo is at a critical juncture of life and death, and the grass people can't sit idly by! I also hope that His Royal Highness will give the grass people a grace for the sake of his father's birth and death for Meng Liguo, and let the grass people go out with the army! ”

Holding the inkstone deliberately pretended to be hesitant.

On the contrary, Lord Shen couldn't sit still, he was afraid that the play would scare away this talented young general, so he squeezed his eyebrows at the Yan: "Your Highness, just give him a chance." ”

"Okay, since Lord Shen has said so, then this king will make an exception. However, tell Chen Gongzi in advance that it is not a trivial matter for this army to start, and it was originally scheduled to set out tomorrow, and it is impossible to suspend the progress for you alone...... "It is very difficult to hold the inkstone."

Chen Yu is such a smart person, although he has never entered the officialdom, but because of his special background, he has a lot of contact with people in the officialdom and has a relatively good understanding.

As soon as Zhu Yan brought up this tangled matter, he immediately responded: "Since the grass people have decided to go out with the army, they are naturally fully prepared. I don't have to wait for me with the army, I can go with the army tomorrow. ”

"Okay, it's not a loss to be the descendant of General Chen, there really is a general's legacy! The king of tomorrow will personally send you out of the city. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Holding Yan had a satisfied smile on his face, in his eyes, the Chen family was just a fish in a net, and it was impossible to set off any storms, so he didn't take Chen Yu's thoughts seriously, waved his hand and said: "Since Chen Gongzi has made up his mind to go out with the army tomorrow, then hurry back and prepare." ”

As soon as Chen Yu left the imperial study with his front foot, Lord Shen fell to the ground with a thud on his back foot.

Holding Yan was slightly furrowed by his sudden movements, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Lord Shen, what do you mean by this?" You were the one who elected General Chen's only son that day, what does this mean now, do you think it's inappropriate? ”

"No, Xia Guan didn't mean this, Xia Guan just felt that the previous plan was a little inappropriate."

Before, he said that he would take hundreds of people from the Chen family, including Mrs. Chen, who was quite prestigious in the capital, as hostages to blackmail Chen Yu, Lord Shen had always taken this sentence to heart, and waited for the right time to mention it to Zhan Yan. He really felt that this plan would cause even more turmoil.

"Old Madam Chen is different from the old lady of ordinary people, she is the widow of Old General Chen, and she has a backbone. Up and down the Chen Mansion, even the subordinates have arrogance...... Your Highness, if you insist on using the Chen family as a bargaining chip to blackmail Chen Gongzi, I am afraid that it will backfire at that time. ”

Holding Yan said disapprerovingly: "How is it counterproductive?" His Chen family is a declining family, is it possible that he can still rush to the palace to settle accounts with this king? ”

He just saw that the Chen family had declined and could not set off a storm in the capital, so he would personally come to the door to ask for someone.

"The Chen family can't do this, but many people in Meng Liguo who respect General Chen can do this kind of thing, if they learn that the Chen family has such treatment, I'm afraid they will ......."

Lord Shen had already made his words very clear, but he still couldn't listen to him.

After all, he is a person from the rivers and lakes, even his ambition and vision are much higher than ordinary people, and it is inevitable that there will be cramped times, just like the matter in front of him, Lord Shen repeatedly persuaded him not to attack the Chen family, he had to deny it, and insisted on his own ideas, regardless of the feelings of others.

"This king knows in his heart, Lord Shen, don't say more, come on, send Lord Shen out, this king is tired and wants to rest for a while."

Immediately, an internal official respectfully came to Lord Shen: "Lord Shen, please." ”

Lord Shen glanced at the inkstone from afar and let out a long sigh.

The old lady of the Chen family has a strong temperament, which is comparable to the late old General Chen, if she is forced into a desperate situation, no one dares to guarantee that she will not do something that will break the net! Lord Shen wanted to persuade Yan not to be too ruthless, but he couldn't persuade him, so he could only secretly pray that the things he was worried about would not happen.

The news that General Chen's only son went out with the army did not take long to spread, and the first to receive the news was a county guard who was about to go to Jiangcheng to serve Feng Changqi, and when he heard this, he suddenly stood up.

"Trouble! In the future, we will have to face another fierce opponent! Although Chen Gongzi has never entered the barracks, he has already had a few strategies at a young age, and he is a good general! If he leads the troops to fight, Jiangcheng will be in danger! I have to rush to Jiangcheng as soon as possible to report this matter to the national teacher! ”
