Chapter 434 What, Chen Yuan dared to contradict his mother and concubine!
"Presumptuous, Chen Yuan, how dare you contradict me!"
Listening to Chen Yuan's upright words, Concubine Yang Guifei felt offended, and immediately reprimanded her.
No matter what, she is also a noble concubine, how can she allow a foreign minister to contradict her?
Chen Yuan's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and he didn't feel any fear because of Concubine Yang's scolding, so what if he contradicted her? To deal with such an ignorant woman.
You should hit back hard!
Why is Chen Yuan afraid of it?
"This is the answer of the humble minister, and that's all I have to say. The imperial concubine can do it for herself, so I leave!"
Chen Yuan cupped his hands, turned and left.
"you"
Concubine Yang Guifei's tone was suffocated, and her figure was a little unstable. When she called Chen Yuan into the palace, she never expected that he would be so tough, and she didn't care about other things at all.
Contradict directly with words!
Didn't put her in his eyes at all.
Looking at Chen Yuan's leaving back, Concubine Yang's eyes were full of anger and murderous intent. If word got out today, her face would be ruined.
The most important thing is that she has nothing to do with Chen Yuan.
The other party is well-founded, neither humble nor overbearing, and speaks righteously. Even if she makes trouble with His Majesty, she will not get any benefit. Today's Majesty is no longer the Majesty who once loved her.
In recent years, he has completely focused on state affairs and practice. He rarely comes to the harem, and he hasn't even seen her for several months.
If she had been able to cry to Jingtai before, she wouldn't have summoned Chen Yuan into the palace to force her with words.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Several court ladies knelt down quickly, for fear that Concubine Yang Gui would take her anger out on them.
"Mother Concubine, Pingyang also resigned."
Princess Pingyang retreated calmly after saluting, regardless of Concubine Yang's dangerous gaze.
Leaving Chunhua Palace, Chen Yuan did not leave in a hurry, and began to walk through the harem very purposefully, wanting to see the place Jiang He told him before.
But soon, Princess Pingyang caught up with him and made him stop.
"Emissary Chen Qing is preparing for something else?"
Princess Pingyang looked at Chen Yuan suspiciously.
Could it be that in the harem, other than her mother and concubine, are there other nobles calling?
With Chen Yuan's stubborn personality, is it possible that he wants to contradict someone?
"It's nothing, but I saw a good view here when I came here, and I want to take a look again." Chen Yuan smiled, and didn't reveal any other purpose, if he was noticed.
It will be difficult to think about doing things in the future.
Pingyang's beautiful eyes turned, and after a moment of pondering, he opened his mouth and said:
"There are indeed many places in the harem with good views. Where does Commander Chen want to go, if you don't mind, Pingyang will take you to see it."
"His Royal Highness grew up in the harem, so he naturally knows some places. That being the case, Her Highness the Princess is the one to call the shots."
There is still some time before ancestor worship, and there is no rush.
He felt that this Pingyang seemed to be smarter than her younger brother, and if he showed his flaws, he would be discovered easily, and he would rather not go than make her suspect.
"Okay, envoy Chen Qing will go with Pingyang for a while."
Looking at the beauty in palace costume in front of him, Chen Yuan nodded and said:
"it is good."
Walking around, Chen Yuan chatted a lot with Princess Pingyang. He thought that Pingyang also wanted to speak for her uncle, or threatened something because Chen Yuan contradicted his mother and concubine before.
But beyond his expectation, Pingyang did not talk in this direction at all.
Instead, he asked Chen Yuan about some things about waiting for the immortal battle before, and expressed his admiration for Chen Yuan, saying that he won glory for the court and was a model for the younger generation of the Jin Dynasty.
Chen Yuan: "Your Highness is over-reputed, but it just happened to be the meeting."
Pingyang smiled and said:
"In Chunhua Palace before, wasn't Commander Chen very rigid? Why is he humbled now?"
Seeing that the other party really brought the topic to this, Chen Yuan felt at ease, and then said with a straight face:
"People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet. The imperial concubine's words are fierce and aggressive. Naturally, Chen will not bow down to beg for mercy. Besides, the court tried Yang Hucheng because the law is strict and it is a good thing."
"It's good that a person respects me one foot, and I respect others one foot. Does the next sentence Chen Qingshi want to say, if people offend me, I will offend them?"
Chen Yuan did not agree.
But sometimes silence is the best answer.
His character is indeed so.
As far as he is concerned, anyone who provokes him, he will mercilessly wipe out the roots, because he always keeps in mind one sentence, kindness to the enemy,
is cruelty to oneself.
"If Pingyang is the younger brother of the emperor, he will never have any enmity with Chen Qingshi because of this matter."
This sentence can be regarded as Princess Pingyang's faintly creating a gap between herself and the fourth prince Sima Ke, not wanting Chen Yuan to be hostile to her because of this matter.
Hearing this sentence, Chen Yuan looked at Princess Pingyang in surprise.
Judging from what he heard, the relationship between the fourth prince and Princess Pingyang should be very deep. After all, some people say that the reason why Princess Pingyang has not married yet.
I just want to plan for the crown prince for Sima Ke.
"His Royal Highness has clear grievances and grievances, and Chen admires it."
"I heard that envoy Chen Qing has a lot of connections with the master of Shuanghe Guanli?" Suddenly, Princess Pingyang's voice changed, as if she asked inadvertently.
But in Chen Yuan's view, this is probably the reason why she came to find him.
Immediately denied it:
"Where did His Highness hear the gossip again? Shuanghe Temple seems to be a female temple, how could it have anything to do with Chen."
Princess Pingyang took a deep look at Chen Yuan:
"Could it be that Chen Qingshi doesn't know about the relationship between Li Guanzhu and Qingzhou Jiang Jinshi?"
"I really don't know about this. Your Highness might as well tell me."
"Forget it, since the Qing envoy doesn't know, maybe Pingyang has imagined too much." Princess Pingyang smiled lightly, and didn't go any further.
From Chen Yuan's words, she has already judged what she wants to know.
At the same time, he was also a little worried about Sima Ke.
A prince who is not yet a prince has no right to fight against the Li family. Even a word from the general who controls the world's soldiers and horses may ruin his future.
Chen Yuan is not a rootless apple in the capital, he has something to rely on.
Otherwise, he would never be so arrogant and rigid.
If Chen Yuan knew what she was thinking, he would definitely say it.
Whether he relies on him or not, he has such a character. The main reason is that Chen Yuan has a choice, and he doesn't have to go to **** on the boat of the court. This is just the most favorable way for him to climb up.
Of course, Chen Yuan will not sentence the court unless it is absolutely necessary.
With his current reputation and strength, if he is sentenced by the court, he will definitely attract Jingtai to hunt him down regardless of the cost. That is not what he wants, and the price is really too high.
"What, Chen Yuan dared to contradict the concubine mother!"
Listening to the reports of his subordinates, the fourth prince Sima Ke's eyes were full of anger, staring at the bowing man in front of him.
"Returning to Your Highness, the news from the palace is indeed so."
The man quickly knelt down, for fear that Sima Ke would take his anger on him because of this.
"Damn it!!"
Sima Ke let out an angry roar, his face was a little ferocious, and his murderous intent towards Chen Yuan was even stronger in his heart!
Others, his reaction may not be too big, after all, he still has the skill of nourishing Qi, even if Chen Yuan's attitude was stubborn and insisted on taking Xiao Qingmu away,
He finally endured it because of it.
But now he can't bear it anymore, since everyone in the capital wants to see him fight with Chen Yuan, so what about a fight? Could it be that Chen Yuan really dared to kill the current prince recklessly?
Si Ma Ke didn't think Chen Yuan really had such courage.
But he couldn't grasp Chen Yuan's weakness. When he first arrived in the capital, his foundation seemed to be unstable, but in fact, he directly established his majesty through his previous actions.
It can be regarded as stepping on him, Sima Ke, and becoming famous in the capital.
With Zhang Yantong as the backing of a powerful member of the Sky Survey Division, Sima Ke really felt that Chen Yuan was a prickly hedgehog that he couldn't touch or say.
He really dared to contradict directly!
As for framing, he has not never thought about such a thing, and even put it into action. He learned from some secret information in Qingzhou that Chen Yuan ruled out dissidents in Tangshan and monopolized power.
The people there only know that there is Chen Qingshi, but not the emperor.
This is a good excuse, but unfortunately, someone in the palace told him that Chen Yuan had confessed to His Majesty a long time ago, if he wanted to find Chen Yuan's weakness because of this matter, he would even be reprimanded by the emperor .
Speaking of which, Chen Yuan is indeed a smart man. When he met Jingtai on the first day, he confessed the matter. He can let the court investigate, with Jiang He in Qingzhou to protect him.
Dirty water really couldn't splash on him.
"Your Highness calm down."
The guards of the prince's mansion said quickly.
Si Ma Ke's eyes were extremely gloomy. Since he was born, it was the first time he met an opponent like Chen Yuan. He was extremely powerful, talented, and his personality seemed tough, but in fact he had plans everywhere.
And there is a lot of background to support him.
Before he became the crown prince, most of the important officials in the court were still watching. If he wanted to do something, it would indeed be a tricky thing.
Most importantly, how to defeat Chen Yuan is a difficult problem!
At the beginning, he was not so dignified towards Chen Yuan, but when the First Prince and Second Prince wanted to make friends with Chen Yuan, his attitude was very calm.
But that's how it is, under the circumstances of a mistake, he was tricked by Xiao Qingmu, a bitch, and he had a bad relationship with him directly because of Yang Hucheng's matter.
He was also killed by him alone, and took Xiao Qingmu away abruptly, causing him a great loss of face.
If there is still a chance to save him, he is determined not to be an enemy of someone like Chen Yuan, at least before he becomes the crown prince.
cannot be an enemy.
But now, he has already made a move on his side, using some small means to confront Chen Yuan, but the other party doesn't play cards according to the routine, and directly punishes all those who disobey orders.
Now the people of the Eastern Imperial City Division no longer dare to resist any more.
As for the top
The envoys rarely paid any attention to him. The other Alchemy masters may have a higher rank than Chen Yuan, but their power cannot control him.
But it is impossible for him to back down now. Once he backs down, those officials who are watching him will definitely be disappointed with him, causing the balance of the crown prince to tilt towards the other two emperor brothers.
Now that another incident happened, Chen Yuan blatantly contradicted his mother and concubine in the harem, and the conflict between them has become bigger and bigger
It has even reached the point where it is impossible to reconcile.
Just as Sima Ke was thinking about how to plan Chen Yuan, a personal guard below changed his eyes and said in a low voice:
"Your Highness, why not send someone to ask the Eldest Princess."
In the eyes of many people in the capital, the eldest princess is versatile in both civil and military affairs. If she had been a man, the position of crown prince might have been confirmed long ago.
It's a pity that the world is ultimately governed by the rule that men are superior to women.
Even though the eldest princess is talented, she will inevitably marry off in the future.
"Sister Huang." Sima Ke narrowed his eyes slightly. He really admires this sister Huang and has been planning deeply.
It's a pity that the mother and concubine blamed her for what happened back then, so that there is always some estrangement in their relationship, but anyway, he is also her own brother,
It seems that it is not impossible to ask her to make suggestions for him. After all, he is also venting his anger for his mother and concubine. He took a deep breath, and was about to tell his subordinates to report that he wanted to see Huang Jie.
A guard at the door suddenly came in, and said in a respectful and solemn voice:
"Your Highness, there are Dongying warriors outside the mansion asking to see you."
"Japanese Japanese slaves?" Sima Ke frowned and waved his hands:
"Not seen."
People in the Central Plains look down on the Western Regions, Japan, or the Northern Man. In the eyes of the people in the Central Plains, only the land of the Central Plains is the center of the universe.
Other areas are barbarians.
As the prince, Sima Ke's arrogance is naturally higher.
The guard below continued:
"Those Dongying warriors said that they also had a grudge against Chen Yuan, and hoped to see His Highness."
The guard looked up and saw that Sima Ke didn't say anything, his face was still gloomy.
Tell those Dongying warriors.
"and many more."
Sima Ke stopped the guards.
"Does Your Highness have any orders?"
"Let them in."
Si Ma Ke said with gloomy eyes.
An enemy's enemy is a friend. Although Sima Ke didn't want to make any friends with Dongying Wo Nu, now that the other party came to him, he could meet him.
It would be best if they could deal with Chen Yuan.
If you just want to have a relationship with yourself because of this, then just ignore it after meeting.
"Yes."
The guard retreated, and Sima Ke sat down slowly with a calm expression, staring ahead.
Not long after, the guards who had just left walked slowly into the lobby with several warriors dressed in Central Plains costumes. The leader was a young warrior with a long knife on his back.
A lock of long hair hangs on the forehead, with a cold demeanor, and a little stubble around the corner of the mouth.
Behind him are several followers.
Si Ma Ke didn't get up to greet them, but looked around them indifferently, his eyes moving slightly.
The young man headed by stared at the fourth prince Sima Ke, imitating the etiquette of the Central Plains people, cupped his hands and said:
"Ito Ito Ito of Dongying Ito, I have met the Fourth Highness."
Si Ma Ke looked suspicious. As the prince of the current dynasty, he was not completely ignorant, at least he had heard about the three major families in Dongying.
The strongest is the Liusheng family, and it is said that there are powerful people at the level of true emperors in the clan.
Followed by this Ito family.
The faction is definitely the top existence in Dongpu. In recent years, due to the more and more frequent activities of Dongying warriors in the Central Plains, the names of the three major families have spread a lot.
"Ito has lived overseas for a long time, why did he come to the capital now?"
Si Ma Ke looked puzzled.
"The small country of Dongying Cuoer admires the culture of the Central Plains. Kyoto is the place where the essence of the Central Plains gathers. It should also be revered by my Dongying warriors. Therefore, I came to the capital to have a look."
Ito said with a bow.
"If you want to see the capital, you have officials from the Ministry of Rites. Why do you still want me to show you around?"
Si Ma Ke tapped his fingers on the table, narrowing his eyes slightly.
For the audience of these overseas barbarians, they are usually received by officials from the Ministry of Rites, and the Celestial Kingdom is the most important.
The other party came to him, the purpose may not be so simple.
"That's not the case. Yidao came to see His Highness because he respects His Highness's reputation and is the best choice for the next emperor. He hopes to form a good relationship with His Highness on behalf of the three major families of Dongying."
Ito said softly.
"Shut up!" Sima Ke's eyes suddenly focused, and he stopped the other party's words.
The emperor is not dead yet, if these things reach the ears of the emperor, what will he think?
He felt that these Dongying warriors came here to harm him.
"I am the son of my father, so I naturally hope that my father will live forever. Don't mention such pleasant words again, otherwise don't blame me for punishing you."
"It was a slip of the tongue, Your Highness forgive me."
Seeing such a big reaction from the other party, Itou Yidao also said quickly.
"Sit down first."
Sima Ke pointed to the seat beside him and said.
"Thank you."
"Just tell me what your purpose is. My time is limited."
"Yi Dao has just said it, I just hope to make friends with Your Highness, although we are overseas forces, we can wholeheartedly yearn for the Central Plains and want to integrate into the Central Plains,
Your Highness gave us hope. "
"Heh" Sima Ke snorted lightly, then changed his voice and asked:
"Before when you asked the guards to report, you said you had a grudge with Chen Yuan. What kind of grudge is it? As far as I know, Chen Yuan was born in Qingzhou, which is far away from the East China Sea. How can he get involved with Dongying?"
Ito said in a deep voice:
"The three major families in Dongying are connected with each other, Yagyu Shinichi and Yagyu Wuyi were killed by Chen Yuan, that is one, and the longevity tablet that our family set up in Qingzhou was destroyed by Chen Yuan is the second.
This son has always been dissatisfied with our Dongying warriors and wanted to kill him. Tangshan did not allow us and other Dongying warriors to pass by, humiliating us, this is the third. "
"Such a combination of all kinds, how can it not be counted as grievances?"
"Then what are you going to do?"
"To defeat him, only by breaking his Dao heart can we wash away our shame in Japan."
"Oh?"
Sima Ke became interested and was about to listen carefully.
The guards outside came in again, bowed and said:
"Your Highness, the Eldest Princess sent a letter."
"Bring it to me to see."
Si Ma Ke squinted his eyes, and the guard bowed and presented the letter.
Slowly opening the letter, Sima Ke's eyes froze for a moment, a little gloomy and angry, because there were only a few words on it:
"Chen Yuan is invincible, he should suspend his grievances."
Kneading the letter into a ball, Sima Ke looked at Ito with a knife, and said lightly:
"What are you going to do?"
