Chapter 164

Chen Jingzong didn't know when he would wake up, and Emperor Yuanyou still had something to do today, so Hua Yang asked his younger brother to go to work first: "You take Pavilion Elder Chen and General Qin with you, it won't help if they stay here.I don't even bother to see them."

Emperor Yuanyou understood: "Then let's go first, if the son-in-law wakes up, sister will send someone to inform me immediately."

Hua Yang nodded, but called his younger brother who had already walked two steps away, and said with concern: "Didn't it scare you? This is the first time you have seen this scene."

Emperor Yuanyou's face became hot: "I'm not a child anymore."

With water still in Hua Yang's eyes, he said softly, "Even if you are a head taller than my sister, you will always be my younger brother with me."

Emperor Yuanyou was annoyed that his sister underestimated him, and felt warm in his heart for such gentleness, he hesitated for a while, and left quickly.

Following his appearance, there was a commotion in the yard, all the accompanying officials were concerned about the consort's injury, and it disappeared after a while.

Hua Yang bypassed the screen and watched the imperial physician administer medicine to Chen Jingzong.

The bleeding had stopped, and a layer of medicinal powder was sprinkled on the wound. The imperial doctor carefully bandaged the son-in-law, and wrapped the gauze around the son-in-law's shoulder and neck.

After finishing his work, the imperial doctor turned around, bowed to the long princess and said, "Don't worry long princess, the son-in-law is young and strong, and he will recover after a month of recuperation."

Hua Yang: "I'm sorry to trouble you, go to rest first, I'll call you again if I need something."

The imperial physician resigned, and gave some instructions to Chaoyun, Chaoyue, Fugui and others who were guarding the outside room.

Hearing that the imperial physician had also left, Hua Yang sat down by the bed.

Although the gauze covered Chen Jingzong's wound, the blood red from the wound still leaked through the gauze.

Such a long spear point, if you are not careful, it may stab Chen Jingzong's shoulder right through, or, if Chen Jingzong goes up to meet him and misses his sight, the spear point may stab his vitals!

Chen Jingzong opened his eyes quietly, just in time to see a pair of tear bumps falling from her eyes, and when he saw her, she turned around quickly.

Chen Jingzong was injured on his right shoulder, and it was hard to raise his hand to avoid tearing the wound. He moved his arm along the bed, moved it to her side, tapped her leg with his finger, and said in a low voice: "I know it's just an act, what happened?"Gold beads."

Huayang was silent.

Chen Jingzong said to himself: "I can hear you, tell the old man that I am your man, and I am closer to you than to him."

With his interruption, the sourness in Hua Yang's heart gradually calmed down, he glanced at him, but didn't know what to say.

Chen Jingzong held her hand: "Okay, okay, don't say anything else, just the fact that you scolded the old man, my trick is worth it."

Hua Yang glared at him: "Shut up."

Chen Jingzong wanted to say: "Are you pretending, or are you really angry?"

Hua Yang was silent.

It's time to act, and also understand that the father-in-law is that kind of person, not only the father-in-law, but anyone else's elders would have relieved Qin Yuantang like that under the circumstances at that time, but Hua Yang knew that Chen Jingzong could not be injured, he was doing it to cooperate with herHer plan was also a risk she took for her father-in-law and the entire Chen family.

Those who don't know are not to blame, but when father-in-law said that, Hua Yang still had a fire of ignorance, and she couldn't tell how much it was true and how much it was a play when she scolded her father-in-law.

Chen Jingzong coaxed her in turn: "I'm used to it, not only to me, but he also treats the eldest brother and third brother, it's just that you didn't see it."

Hua Yang pressed his hand: "Don't move around, carefully pull the wound."

Chen Jingzong: "The general's shot was so painful that I lost half my life."

Hua Yang subconsciously went to see his injury.

Chen Jingzong: "Hurry up and take a breath of my immortal energy, and I won't be in pain anymore."

Hua Yang: ...

Chen Jingzong pointed to his mouth with his left hand.

His eyes were bright and playful, and he clearly wanted to take advantage of her soft heart, but his injury was real, he bled so much, his face turned pale.

Hua Yang covered his eyes with his hands, his eyelashes fluttered for a while, and then they closed obediently.

Only then did Hua Yang lean over and gently press his lips.

Just as Chen Jingzong was about to open his mouth, Hua Yang backed away early, glared at him and said, "Take care of him at ease, don't worry about anything else."

Chen Jingzong sighed: "Employees face forward, don't use people to face backwards, you were not like that that night in the barracks."

Hua Yang glared at him.

Chen Jingzong pretended to sleep for an hour and then woke up. When the news spread, Emperor Yuanyou and others came to visit again.

Hua Yang still looked angry at Qin Yuantang.

Chen Jingzong was open-minded, took all the faults on his own head, talked and laughed with Qin Yuantang, and said that he would ask Qin Yuantang for pointers on marksmanship after he recovered.

Qin Yuantang thought to himself, even if he is not the commander-in-chief, he will never compete with Chen Jingzong again!

After waking up, everyone was relieved to see that they were in good spirits.

As soon as the atmosphere eased, Chen Jingzong turned his gaze, stared at his old man a few times, and suddenly said to Hua Yang: "You can arrange someone to carry me back to your place, I feel uncomfortable living here."

Chen Tingjian lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Hua Yang cooperatively asked people to prepare wooden frames.

Emperor Yuanyou looked at the father and son who quarreled when they met, and thought that it was important for the son-in-law to recover from his injuries, and staying away from Chen Tingjian would also help his physical and mental recovery.

In this way, the four little eunuchs worked together to move the son-in-law to the wooden frame, and then carried the son-in-law, who was unwilling to stay with his relatives to recuperate, back to the courtyard where the long princess stayed in front of Pavilion Elder Chen.

At noon, all the officials accompanied Emperor Yuanyou to a banquet, and after the banquet was over, they went back to their respective homes.

In the Commander's Mansion, Qin Yuantang leaned back on the Taishi's chair regardless of his manners as soon as he entered the main room, with his head resting on the back of the chair, with a depressed expression on his face.

Qin Ji signaled his subordinates to retreat, and then comforted his father: "Father, don't worry, I don't think Pavilion Elder Chen or the son-in-law intends to blame you."

Qin Yuantang glanced at his son and sneered: "How can they be unreasonable when everyone is watching? But what's in their hearts, only they know."

Only a fool will take face-saving seriously.

Qin Lu: "They're too embarrassed to care about that little injury? But the soldiers from the last battle wouldn't take it to heart."

Qin Yuantang: "That's the Chief-of-Staff, son-in-law, don't treat them like ordinary soldiers."

He frowned tightly, and in his head he had already imagined that Pavilion Elder Chen would find an excuse to deal with him soon after he returned to Beijing, at least he would have to demote an official to relieve his anger.

The general thought he had seen through the officialdom, so how could he be persuaded by two young sons?

He was not in the mood to rest for a while, and in the afternoon, Qin Yuantang had to pretend to be nothing to go to accompany the driver in front of the imperial court.

Finally at dusk, Emperor Yuanyou was going to rest, Qin Yuantang went out with a group of officials, then stopped Chen Tingjian, and said sincerely: "The general wants to visit his son-in-law, may I ask the old man to lead the way?"

The son-in-law was injured by him, this was the first day, and he should have made this trip due to emotion and reason.

All the officials looked at the Chief-of-Staff in unison.

Chen Tingjian half-mocked himself: "I have never been at odds with the son-in-law. Going with you will only make him angry at you. The general should go by himself."

After speaking, Chen Tingjian strode away.

Officials: ...

It seems to make sense!

The officials who had watched the lively scene for a while dispersed quickly.

Qin Ji: "Father, I will accompany you."

The son-in-law was already favored by the long princess because the eldest son was sour, Qin Yuantang dared to bring the eldest son, the younger son was also handsome, and it would easily cause trouble if he brought the eldest son.

In the end, Qin Yuantang waved his hand and told his sons to wait outside the post house first. He invited a palace official to lead the way, and came to the other courtyard where the long princess lived temporarily with a devout expression.

The other courtyards moved forward and backward, guessing that officials would come to visit, and Chen Jingzong lived in the front courtyard.

Hua Yang was sitting by the bed talking with Chen Jingzong, and when Chaoyun reported that General Qin wanted to visit his son-in-law, the couple exchanged a tacit look.

"Please come in, General."

Chaoyun went out to spread the message.

Chen Jingzong looked at the long princess who moved to the foot of the bed and sat upright, and asked, "I can just lie down, or should I say something?"

Hua Yang: "The pleasantries are yours, and the business is mine."

Soon, the sound of footsteps came from outside, and the strong and burly General Qin followed behind Chaoyun. Zhaoyun's petiteness made him look like a door god, but this door god's restrained expression of doing something wrong detracted a lot.prestige.

In fact, Qin Yuantang is not afraid of Chen Jingzong, what he is afraid of is the long princess who is very difficult to provoke at first sight!

I heard that the deposed king of Xiang was molested on the head of the eldest princess by his eyes covered with feces, and was whipped mercilessly by the eldest princess. The whip was not enough to calm down, and the eldest princess actually wrote a letter for the people of Lingzhou.The first emperor sued the king of Xiang, which directly led to the abolition of the king of Xiang, and the eldest princess even got a king whip from the first emperor!

Beat the king's whip and beat the king's whip, the prince can beat him, let alone beat him as a general!

Entering the inner room, Qin Yuantang saw the long princess sitting by the bed at a glance. The beauty is so beautiful, and the majesty that cannot be disobeyed is really bluffing!

Without seeing clearly what the long princess looks like, Qin Yuantang immediately lowered his eyes and saluted respectfully: "I will never see the long princess."

Hua Yang: "Back off."

Qin Yuantang: ...

He just arrived, and the long princess sent him away, so you don't want to see him?

Fortunately, Chaoyun's soft voice came from behind: "Yes."

Qin Yuantang's heart was thrown high by the words "long princess", and quickly fell down again.

"The general is free."

Qin Yuantang heaved a sigh of relief, stood up straight, and looked at the son-in-law who was lying on the bed with a rather happy expression: "How is the son-in-law's injury?"

Chen Jingzong smiled and said: "The general should know better than me about this physical injury. Just keep it. It's no big deal. You don't have to come here to visit it. It would make me feel delicate if it spreads."

Qin Yuantang thought to himself, you are squeamish, the emperor is the most squeamish, the long princess is the second, and you, the son of the Chief-of-Staff, can be the third!

Nagging in his stomach, the general's face was still very sincere: "I still blame the young general, an old man, my son-in-law humbly asked me for advice, because I forgot to measure my opponent, and I wanted to force my son-in-law to admit defeat, but if I pay more attention,The son-in-law doesn't have to suffer like this."

Chen Jingzong: ...

Your flattery is as good as your marksmanship!

Hua Yang couldn't listen anymore, and said to Qin Yuantang: "When the general was fighting against the Japanese in the southeast coast, his son-in-law was just an ignorant boy running around all over the mountains. How can he match your match? The general's humility is a virtue., but you shouldn’t just talk about it and lose your sincerity.”

Chen Jingzong: "Wait a minute, I went to the mountains to hunt, and I can practice archery only after hunting. How did I end up running around all over the mountains? How did the ignorant boy start?"

Hua Yang glared at him: "Shut up."

Chen Jingzong shut his mouth, but his expression was dissatisfied.

Qin Yuantang was stunned, what do you mean, was the long princess just praising him?

A chair had been prepared for a long time, Hua Yang raised his hand, smiled and said to Qin Yuantang: "General, please sit down."

Qin Yuantang was stunned again.

If the long princess is like an ice peony made of cold snow when she is angry, now the long princess smiles brightly, and the ice peony that is so repulsive immediately turns into a spring peony that melts with the warm sun, graceful, luxurious and beautifulPeerless.

Fortunately, Qin Yuantang was old and was a great general with golden arms and iron horses, so he was not fooled by the beauty of the long princess.

He looked at the chair next to him, hesitated for a moment, and sat down with his hands on his knees, unable to hide his nervousness.

Hua Yang saw it, and said in a low voice: "Before Ji Zhou in the future, the general I imagined would be as tall as a mountain, as proud as a pine tree, and treat me as a long princess with courtesy but neither humble nor overbearing. At this moment, the general is sitting in front of me.But he didn't even dare to look at me, he was trembling like walking on thin ice, and I just felt sad."

Qin Yuantang raised his head in disbelief, and looked directly at the long princess a few steps away.

There were tears in Hua Yang's eyes: "I would like to ask the general to explain, but because there is no suitable reason, I have to ask the son-in-law to use a bitter trick, and I have to blame the general, but I saw the general complaining about such a trivial matter.I am really ashamed to break my knot in front of me."

How many people relied on General Qin to survive under the Japanese pirates and Duoyan, how could she stand up to his kneeling for such a hero?

Qin Yuantang watched the tears of the long princess fall, and it seemed to be dripping on his heart, making his heart feel hot and humid.

He is so flattering and flattering to Chen Tingjian, how can he care about the long princess who kneels down and cares about the son-in-law?

The long princess blamed him, that's right, a little girl in her early twenties, how can he be serious with a little girl?

However, when the long princess whom he regarded as a delicate girl said such heartwarming words in a soft voice, Qin Yuantang found that he really felt aggrieved and helpless, but these were not worth mentioning at all.The grievance and helplessness immediately disappeared without a trace because of the long princess' understanding.

He couldn't keep staring at the long princess, lowered his head, and comforted awkwardly: "It's all small things, small things, don't cry."

For half his life as a soldier, he always put his head on his belt every time he went to the battlefield, he really didn't mind it.

Holding the veil in his hand, Hua Yang sucked away the tears little by little to avoid more gaffes.

Chen Jingzong said sourly: "Obviously I was the one who got hurt."

Hua Yang glared at him.

Qin Yuantang looked at the young couple, puzzled and said: "The long princess wants to see the last general, why does she have to use this method? If there is something wrong with the son-in-law, the last general may have to die as an apology."

Hua Yang calmed down, and said: "Because what I want to tell the general is related to the future of you and your father."

Qin Yuantang was taken aback for a moment before he realized that the father in the long princess's mouth was Pavilion Elder Chen.

Qin Yuantang said solemnly: "The final general is all ears."

Hua Yang: "Since my father started implementing the New Deal, there have always been officials opposing the New Deal inside and out, and they have tried every means to accuse my father of various crimes. I believe the general has heard of this?"

Qin Yuantang nodded, and habitually flattered Chen Tingjian again: "Pavilion Elder Chen is for the country and the people, and he is a minister of great virtue and virtue. The emperor and queen mother are wise and will never be fooled by those villains."

Chen Jingzong snorted: "You will wear a high hat for him."

Qin Yuantang: ...

Is this son-in-law really the real son of Pavilion Elder Chen?

Hua Yang: "Father is naturally a virtuous minister, but have you ever thought about it, if you continue to have a close personal relationship with your father, once those people catch you, how will they criticize you and your father? The Inner Pavilion colluded with the side generals.It is taboo in the court."

Qin Yuantang's complexion changed drastically, and he knelt down in front of the long princess: "The last general dare not, the last general swears to the sky..."

Hua Yang: "Get up and talk."

Qin Yuantang didn't move.

Chen Jingzong patted the bedside: "Do you want me to climb down to help you? Or do you want the long princess to help you in person?"

Qin Yuantang had no choice but to stand up again because of this nonsense.

Hua Yang continued: "You don't have to swear to God, I know why you want to befriend your father, it's just that you are on the battlefield, and you have seen too many military officers who were not reused because there was no one in the court, including those who did not lose their military achievements in the past.To your General Hu and General Yu. You are all famous generals in this dynasty, but you were unable to fully display your abilities due to factional disputes in the court. This is the fault of the court. You gave the gift to your father out of helplessness, so there is no need to be ashamed."

Qin Yuantang's eyes turned hot, the long princess really understood him!

Hua Yang: "I'm just a girl, I can't influence the officialdom, but I'm a long princess who married into the Chen family. I'm familiar with the emperor's temperament, and I also know how my father is. I also grew up listening to the prestige of the general., After arriving at the border, I personally inquired about your deeds with the nearby people. The people really love you, and I love the general as much as the people, so I can't just watch you go on the wrong road."

"The general is well trained, and my father admires you. If you don't give gifts or write flattering letters, your father will support you when you encounter any obstacles and trifles. However, if you give gifts and write letters foolishly, you will only send gifts to those who oppose your father."The officials gave him the opportunity to frame his father."

"If you have to give gifts to train and lead troops with confidence, then I will show you a clear way."

Qin Yuantang's breathing was stagnant, and his tiger eyes were fixed on the long princess.

Hua Yang smiled and said: "If you want to give a gift, you can give it to the emperor. Father will grow old, and the Chief-of-Staff will be replaced. Only the emperor will sit firmly on the dragon chair. In the end, he will send you good officials and generals away."

Qin Yuantang's eyes flickered slightly.

Hua Yang smiled lightly: "Does the general think that the emperor is still young, and what he says is not as effective as the Inner Pavilion?"

Qin Yuantang hurriedly said: "The last general dare not!"

Hua Yang: "That's what you think in your heart. But I have already said that my father cherishes your talents. As long as you guard Jizhen well, he will always support you, and so will the emperor. You will not get any superfluous gifts from your father.You are filial to the emperor, and you are loyal to the emperor with all your heart, the emperor feels it, if someone speaks bad things about your collusion with your father in the emperor's ear at this time, how can the emperor believe it?"

Qin Yuantang finally wavered.

By the way, Hua Yang told him his younger brother's views on the Qin family's army that day: "The emperor is far more open-minded than you think. What he wants is the bravery of the frontier army, and what he wants is the prosperity and strength of the country. He is in the palace and cannot personally command the frontier army., I can only trust you generals. Your loyalty to the emperor means that the Qin family army is loyal to the emperor. As long as the emperor believes in you, then even if your general Qin retires in the future, the Qin family army left behind will still be trusted and reused by the emperor."

"But once you patronize the Inner Pavilion and make the emperor suspect, not only will your future be ruined, but the entire Qin family army will be implicated. If the Qin family army is scattered, who will guard Ji Zhou? Who do you believe can defend better than the Qin family army?"it is good?"

Qin Yuantang's complexion changed drastically.

Obviously, compared with his own future, he values the safety of the Qin family army and Ji Town more.

Hua Yang knew that he had really listened to it now, and finally said: "General, if you are loyal to the emperor, you should trust the emperor. If you believe, loyalty comes from the heart, and only such utter loyalty will let youThe emperor will use you without doubt."

Qin Yuantang knelt down again, and said sincerely: "Don't worry, long princess, you will not be taught!"

Hua Yang got up, walked in front of him, and helped the general with his own hands: "I also promise the general that as long as I am here, I will definitely speak well for you in front of the emperor. Whoever dares to frame you, the first emperor gave me a promise."The king whip will fall on whoever it is."

Qin Yuantang never expected that when he entered the door, he was still worried that the long princess would whip him with a whip, but at this time the long princess told him that she would use the whip to protect him!

General Qin, who was used to flattery, was at a loss for words at this moment, not knowing how to express his gratitude.

Hua Yang smiled: "But I still want to remind the general that you can give the emperor a gift, but don't give any beauties or other things that may lead the emperor astray."

Qin Yuantang suddenly blushed.

One year, he gave the Chief-of-Staff the fur seal kidney, a specialty of his hometown, thinking that if the Chief-of-Staff wants to regain his glory, this tonic is just right!

But how could the long princess know about this!

"The last general, the last general dare not!"

Hua Yang: "Well, the general has been delayed here for a while, it's time to go back, I hope the general will keep what I said just now a secret, and don't tell anyone, including the two sons."

Of course Qin Yuantang would not say that he would bring this secret into the coffin as it related to the future of the 100,000 Qin family army!

"The long princess and the son-in-law have a good rest, and I will retire at the end!"

After saluting solemnly, Qin Yuantang turned and left.

Hua Yang breathed a long sigh of relief.

Chen Jingzong was puzzled: "You seem to have something in your words just now. Could it be that he gave the old man a beauty, and there are other things that are not serious?"

Hua Yang: "It is said that he gave his father a gift for the first time, and indeed he gave a beauty, but my father confiscated it."

Chen Jingzong: ...

Hua Yang also shook his head helplessly, General Qin really did something wrong with good intentions.

In his previous life, the sixth crime committed by his younger brother for his father-in-law was colluding with side generals.

The side general is naturally Qin Yuantang.

At that time, the new Chief-of-Staff Zhang Pan joined a group of officials to impeach his father-in-law on seven charges, and his younger brother sent Jin Yiwei to investigate. The files clearly listed the letters and gifts between Qin Yuantang and his father-in-law over the past ten years.Because the father-in-law is not greedy for money or sex, apart from Qin Yuantang giving heavy gifts and being returned the first two times, the latter are all ordinary souvenirs. The problem is that Qin Yuantang wrote to his father-in-law and claimed to be "a dog under the door".Every word of flattery clearly puts father-in-law ahead of the emperor!

In addition, Qin Yuantang is very domineering in military training, often disobeying Governor Ji Liao's restraint, and his father also removed three governors for him. From the outsider's point of view, this is the collusion between the Chief-of-Staff and the border generals.

When he was reborn, Hua Yang didn't understand why his younger brother was so cruel. Obviously, his father taught him carefully and devoted himself to the court, but if his younger brother deliberately favored his father, he would not be able to offend the entire Chen family.

Six years are about to pass in a blink of an eye, and Hua Yang has already understood the crux of the problem.

It was the younger brother who resented his father-in-law first, so that he would stand by and watch behind him.
