Chapter 640: Lingnan Holy Maiden
"Let's take a look."
On the flagship of the Anlan, Chen Pojun, who had already changed his clothes and was about to go ashore to participate in tonight's banquet in the city of Mengjin, sat down. He frowned slightly, and held the letter he had just read in his hand.
Zhang Zhongjian, who was the first on Chen Pojun's right head, also changed into a purple robe at this time and was preparing to go to the banquet. Seeing the letter in Chen Kefuyang's hand, he hurriedly took it.
After reading it in a hurry, he couldn't help sneering, and while passing the letter to Lu Shishen in the back, he said, "Good plan, good plan." Li Yuan's father and son really did not give up, it seems that they have been planning this matter for a long time. If it weren't for King Chen's letter, I was afraid that they would really be caught off guard and fall for their poisonous plan. At that time, even Dean Sun, who has rejuvenated his hands, will be too late. ”
Guo Xiaoke nodded and said, "Yes, if King Chen really has an accident at this time, then my Hebei army will have no leader, and I am afraid that civil strife will arise again." ”
Chen Kefu sneered, "Li Yuan's father and son have a great appetite, and they actually want to take advantage of this banquet to poison this king and Wang Shichong together, and catch them all." He didn't look at his teeth, even if he just gave him a Wang Shichong, it was not something they could digest now. But they are still delusional, and even the king is calculating together. It is self-inflicted, and you cannot live. ”
The letter was soon turned around in the hands of the generals in the cabin, and Luo Shixin, who was anxious, slapped the table, jumped up and shouted, "King Chen, if he is unkind, then we will be unjust." Don't think about any troublesome countermeasures, according to the general, with this letter, let's just send someone to arrest the Li family's father and son and others together, and throw the letter in front of them later, to see if they have anything to say. ”
"Don't be reckless." Qin Qiong pulled the sleeve of Luo Shixin's shirt and bowed to Chen Pojun at the top. "King Chen, it is easy to kill the Li family's father and son, but what King Chen wants is not Li Yuan's father and son. If it weren't for that, a hundred Li Yuan father and son would have already made ghosts. As previously discussed. Now although Li Yuan's father and son have submitted to our court on the surface, for the sake of Hedong, the court still needs to be cautious. The last general thought that Li Yuan's father and son should be killed, but they could not be killed publicly. It's best to get rid of them secretly according to the previous discussion, and blame Li Mi and other tyrants. In this way, the situation in Hedong can be stabilized, and these two troubles can also be eliminated. ”
Chen Kefu nodded, "That's right, this king sees that the time is almost up." Let's go to the banquet, Li Yuan and his son have put on a good show waiting for us. ”
"King Chen, how to deal with Li Shimin's poisonous wine?" Cheng Yanjin said worriedly.
"Let's talk about it then, anyway, now we already know Li Shimin's tricks. Let's see the move when the time comes, let's take a step at a time. Chen Kefu stood up. Now that you know Li Shimin's tricks, there is no need to worry. He didn't want to startle the snake now, he had endured the Li family's father and son for so long. It's okay to endure it for another two or three days. Since Li Shimin's poison only occurred in three days, it is better to pretend that he did not check it. In this way, it will make the Li family father and son think that they have a plan and relax their vigilance, so that his plan to kill people with a knife will go more smoothly in a few days.
"Your Highness, when the time comes, you can tell me about the recurrence of the old disease. The doctor instructed him not to drink alcohol recently. Remember not to drink alcohol. I'll be staring, but I'm afraid of what happens. Chen Lei followed. I kept talking about it.
In the water village, Chen Pojun and his entourage descended from the flagship of the Anlan in turn, boarded small boats, and sailed to the dock. The dark night was like a black curtain, covering the entire sky, and only a few stars were left hanging in the sky, as if a few holes in the curtain were leaking a little starlight.
On the fifth-deck of the Lingbo, Li Yuan stood with his son Shimin and others who were being carried, and looked at Chen Pojun and his party from a distance, lighting torches and sailing to the opposite shore in a small boat. The faces of both father and son showed knowing joy. …,
As long as tonight passes, Chen Pojun, who is high above, will only have three days to live. And their Li family, father and son, will fight the world again, retake Hedong, and make a comeback.
"Jiancheng, Shimin, let's go too, we can't let Chen Pojun wait for a long time." Li Yuan smiled slightly, was in a good mood, and took the lead in getting off the boat. Behind him, Li Tang Wenwu also followed, each boarding a small boat and heading towards the north shore.
The night sinks like water, and the night is as dark as paint.
No one noticed that behind the Li family's boats that picked up people, a boat suddenly came out of the night, quietly followed the Li family's fleet, and quickly got into a small boat.
With a muffled grunt, the rowman collapsed, and then the two black-clad night walkers abandoned their boat and jumped onto it.
Chen Shuda, the minister of Li Tang, who was admiring the night on the boat, heard some movement in the stern of the boat, and just turned his head, but he was already on his neck with an icy and cold dagger. Suddenly, a chill rose in my heart, and I only felt weak.
"Who are you?" He wanted to scream, but he felt the coldness of the dagger around his neck, and recently he could only ask softly in fear.
"You are Chen Shuda?" Another man in black stood in front of him, looked directly at him and asked. Chen Shuda nodded, but suddenly realized that the voice of the person who asked him just now was soft and firm, it was definitely not a man's voice, he was sure that it was a woman's voice. And that voice was definitely the voice of a young woman. At first, he thought that Chen Pojun had seen through the Li family's strategy to arrest people, but at this time, he thought that if it was really Chen Pojun's nephew who wanted to arrest him, how could he send a young woman to come.
After calming down, Chen Shuda recovered a little bit of blood, and his voice was a little louder, "It's Chen Shuda below, dare to ask who this girl is?" I have never made an enmity with anyone, why didn't the girl come to the door, and let people hold each other with daggers? ”
"Put the knife away." The woman in black and black scarf asked the other person to collect the knife, "It's good that you are Chen Shuda, and you are the one who is looking for you." Chen Shuda took the order! ”
"Order? What is the purpose? Whose will it take? Chen Shuda was stunned for a moment, when today, there are so many people who are called kings and hegemons, and there are so many people who are called lonely and widowed, and they dare to be called the son of heaven if they have a little people on hand. In the face of this uninvited guest, as well as this unclear holy decree, he was inexplicable.
The woman on the other side ignored him, and took out a bright yellow silk decree from a burden on her back. Open the chant, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict:"
Chen Shuda still didn't understand it, and it wasn't until he heard the woman behind him chant the Tao and crowned him as the king of Qiantang and the official title of the crown prince Taibao, that he finally understood whose holy decree it was. This holy decree was actually issued to him by his brother, the current Emperor Chen Shen of Southern Chen, and he was actually crowned King of Qiantang. He was already crowned king when he was a child, and later Nanchen perished, and traveled thousands of miles west to Chang'an. has been up and down for most of his life, and he is no longer a person who is desperate when he hears about the throne or something.
Ever since the Sui army broke through Jiankang, he had already understood that the Chen dynasty had fallen. More than 20 years later, his brother Chen Shen Jiangnan returned to China, and he also had a little excitement, but only a little excitement. It has been more than 20 years since he left his homeland, and now he is also a person of nearly half a hundred, and he really doesn't have much affection for Nan Chen. What's more, he already understood that today's Nanchen is just those clans in the south of the Yangtze River who have seized the south. As for the so-called Nanchen Tianzi Chen Shen, he is just a puppet of others. Seeing that they started so early, the more than 50 counties at the time of the uprising, not only did not recover their homeland, but lost their land, and gradually retreated, and Gou An corner of Gou'an.
It's good to die once, he doesn't want to be a slave for the second time. When the country died, the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty was good to the Chen family, but if they died again, they might not have such good treatment. What's more, the Li family treated him well at that time, and the Li family occupied Hedong, playing Yang Jun, Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhua and other world heroes in the palm of their hands, and won the support of the people in Jinzhong, he could not give up the Li family and choose Nan Chen. …,
But now, he hesitated.
"Who are you?" He couldn't be sure if the woman who suddenly appeared was Nan Chen's person, maybe these two people were deliberately arranged by Li Yuan's father and son. He has seen the methods of the Li family's father and son, and he has become more and more unmethodical. Perhaps they were afraid of his Chan status, so they sent people to test him.
"Audacious, dare to speak to our saint like this." The other man in black on one side scolded at this time, and the shiny dagger rested on his neck again.
"Holy aunt?" Chen Shuda was a little confused, suddenly, and seemed frightened. "Aren't, are you?"
"After leaving Jiangnan for nearly 30 years, it seems that the prince has not forgotten everything in his homeland. Not bad, as you guessed. The woman on the other side said slowly.
"Yes, yes, but how did you get here?" Chen Shuda asked in disbelief. After nearly 30 years of leaving his homeland, he never went back, but at this time, when I recalled, a lot of deposited memories came to my heart.
"Now that you know the identity of our saint, you are still so presumptuous, and you are not ready to see the courtesy." The woman with the dagger reprimanded, "Our holy aunt is not only the great leader of the various ethnic groups and Dong in Lingnan, but also the Hainan princess who was personally canonized by the emperor of the Chen Dynasty and who was in charge of the military administration of the 16 counties in Lingnan. Today, when the emperor of the Chen Dynasty sees our holy aunt, he has to personally sit and greet him, even if you accept the reward from the imperial court, then you are just a county king, and you dare to be rude to our holy aunt? ”
Chen Shuda's face was surprised when he heard this, and after a while, he finally bowed to the unseen woman opposite, and if he could say this, it would never be the person sent by the Li family's father and son to tempt.
After the ceremony, Chen Shuda asked in a deep voice, "I still don't know if the holy aunt is okay?" ”
Seeing that her attitude had changed drastically, the woman with the dagger put down the dagger, "The Holy Aunt has ascended to heaven a month ago and followed the Virgin. Now I respect the daughter of the Holy Aunt of all ethnic groups in Baiyue, and my young lady and my holy daughter are in charge of the 16 counties of Lingnan Baiyue, and the Son of Heaven of the Chen Dynasty has decreed that my young lady will be canonized as the princess of Hainan, and the military and political power of the 16 counties in Lingnan will be in charge of the imperial court. ”
