Chapter 488： I will agree to any conditions!

Chapter 488 I promise you anything!

Zhang Yantong smiled lightly, stroked his long beard and said:

"You're right. You can't be too careless about these remnants of the former Chu to prevent them from taking advantage of loopholes, and you can't be too concerned about them and lose your sense of proportion."

"You must have other things to talk about this time."

Suddenly, he changed his voice and asked why Chen Yuan came.

"Uncle Mingjian, besides visiting uncle this time, my nephew does have some private matters."

Chen Yuan remained calm, his gaze indifferent.

"External release?"

Zhang Yantong frowned, as if he could see Chen Yuan's careful thinking.

"Uncle's eyes are as bright as a torch, and it is indeed a matter of release. According to the rules of the court, only the master of Tiandan is eligible to be released as a golden envoy. This is why my nephew worked hard to practice."

"Um?"

Zhang Yantong narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Yuan with a half-smile.

"Isn't it good to work in the capital?"

"A man lives between heaven and earth, how can he seek stability in a corner? Now the situation of the court is unclear, there are foreign enemies outside, and internal troubles inside. It is safe to stay in the capital, but it is not what I want."

"What do you want?"

"Divide the town into one place, stabilize the situation for the court, make the world peaceful, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. We warriors, we should do so!" Chen Yuan's face gradually became dignified and firm.

It seems that he has really become a good official for the country and the people, and the appearance of his righteous words is full of righteousness all over his body.

"You are extremely talented, if you stay in the capital, you will definitely be of great use."

"Outward release is also reuse."

"I understand now."

Zhang Yantong returned to official duties and claimed to be the envoy.

Fingers tapped on the table continuously, and the only sound left in the whole study was the light tap.

"Also ask uncle to help me!"

"Where do you want to work?"

Zhang Yantong stared at Chen Yuan with flickering eyes.

"You can go to every state in the world."

Zhang Yantong smiled:

"It's a pity that there are no vacancies in the states now. If you want to go, I'm afraid you have to wait a little longer."

"It's okay, my nephew just mentioned it to my uncle. If there is a vacancy, it won't be too late to take up the post."

"Well, this matter should not be too hasty. Uncle has written down this matter and will think about it for you. You must practice diligently during this period of time and don't slack off.

The state capitals are different in the world, and the gaps are also different. The state capitals that are closer to Zhongzhou will be more stable, while those farther away will be much more turbulent. Uncle will try his best to make your golden envoy seat easier. "

"Thank you, Uncle."

Chen Yuan expressed his gratitude on his face, but in fact he hoped that the other party would not be so considerate of him. The distance from Zhongzhou is too close, so why is he in urgent need of strength?

The court's control is not low, and he can be found.

But I can't say too much now, so Zhang Yantong can't think too much. After a month of stability, he can find a way to kill the Jinshi of Shuzhou, and it won't be too late to find him.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Zhang Yantong smiled lightly and nodded, suddenly said:

"Since you have come back, go and take over some matters of the Imperial City Department as soon as possible, and do your job well so that His Majesty can rest assured of you."

Yizhou Jinshi is a senior official of the fourth rank, and can be called a feudal official. These officials, together with the titled general and the third-rank state herd, are in charge of the military, political and military affairs of the state.

It is impossible to rely solely on the Sky Surveyor to be the master.

They only have the right to recommend, and the real decision is made by the emperor.

Of course, generally speaking, the emperor would not say anything more about the golden envoys that can be recognized by the four envoys of heaven, earth, Xuan, Huang, and the four gods, and they will all pass it.

It's just for fear of what might happen.

"Don't worry, uncle, my nephew understands."

Chen Yuan cupped his hands.

He stayed in Zhang's mansion for a while, and when it was almost dark, he offered to leave. In short, the purpose of this time has been achieved, and he announced to Zhang Yantong that he will come back this time, take over the previous seat, and then express that he wants to go abroad. Put it on the ground.

The rest of the matter, we have to wait.

When the time comes, start preparing!

Since Zhang Mansion left, Chen Yuan went all the way back to Wuweibo Mansion, and then had a very comfortable sleep, and did not wake up until the next morning.

After eating breakfast in Fuchu, I went directly to Shuanghe Temple.

This time was similar to the previous one. After the report, Chen Yuan, led by a Taoist nun, met Jiang He's old friend Li Hongshuang in the main hall.

It is still dressed in such an indifferent Taoist robe, but even the loose Taoist robe can hardly conceal Li Hongshuang's graceful figure. She glanced at Chen Yuan very peacefully, and then ordered:

"Okay, you go down first."

"Yes, Guanzhu!"

The Taoist nun who led the way shook her head, bowed and retreated.

After he left, Chen Yuan smiled and cupped his hands at Li Hongshuang:

"Meet my sister-in-law."

Li Hongshuang suppressed the strangeness in her heart, and said lightly:

"He sent you here?"

"Yes."

After hearing the accurate answer, Li Hongshuang pondered for a while:

"What did he ask you to say?"

"This is what Brother Jiang asked me to bring my sister-in-law."

Chen Yuan took out a kit from his sleeve and put it in front of Li Hongshuang.

The other party stared at the bag in front of him without moving for a long time, as if he didn't want to hear any bad news from it, but he couldn't help feeling hopeful in his heart.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan said very wittily:

"Sister-in-law will take a look at Brother Jiang's tips first, and Chen will take this opportunity to take a good look at the Shuanghe Temple."

As she spoke, she turned and left without waiting for Li Hongshuang to say anything more.

After Chen Yuan left for a while, Li Hongshuang also gradually turned his mind, glanced at the direction where Chen Yuan left, and slowly opened the bag in his hand.

On the other side, Chen Yuan, who left the hall, was wandering aimlessly. This is not the first time he has been here, but he has never had a good time. Of course,

The Shuanghe View itself is not very big, and there is almost no landscape.

The young Taoist nun on the side knew that Chen Yuan was a distinguished guest of the master of the temple, so she didn't dare to neglect at all, and explained everything in the temple to Chen Yuan in detail, as she walked,

Chen Yuan suddenly saw that another palace was heavily guarded, and was guarding in the armor of the palace guards. He couldn't help being curious, and asked calmly:

"Which noble person in the palace is this?"

The little nun hurriedly said:

"It's Concubine Yang. Recently, the imperial concubine often comes to the temple to pray for His Majesty and the Fourth Prince."

"Oh, it's her?"

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the main hall, Concubine Yang knelt in front of the portrait of the Taoist ancestor to pray for blessings, her expression was peaceful, and the light veil on her body outlined her figure beautifully. Although she was over forty years old and had given birth to the fourth prince Sima Ke and the eldest princess Pingyang, she was well maintained Well, I also have some superficial cultivation, so I don't look old.

In the eyes of outsiders, he only looks thirty years old.

And this is the time when a woman is in her prime.

She has come here to pray for blessings for six days, and it will be almost enough to come again tomorrow. Although she herself knows that this kind of thing is useless, she still cannot help finding comfort in her heart.

Since Ke'er was reprimanded by the emperor, she has no momentum anymore, and her desire to become a prince is even more uncertain. This is what worries her the most.

If the second prince Sima You was in power, it would be fine, and there would be no grievances between her and the queen, but once the eldest prince Sima Gan became the crown prince and ascended the throne in the future, then there would be nothing good for their mother and son.

She and that **** have long been at odds with each other.

Similarly, if the fourth prince Sima Ke gains power, she will not let that **** go.

Now, she only prays for Sima Ke to be more stable in his work. If he really misses the throne, he must make preparations in advance, and he must not let Sima Qian gain power.

But the problem is that Sima Ke has rarely come to Chunhua Palace since he asked those nonsensical words before. Even if she summoned him, it was all kinds of excuses, which made her feel sad but helpless.

When Concubine Yang was in a state of confusion, a hand that had always been steady and strong suddenly climbed onto her shoulder. Concubine Yang was startled and was about to shout,

But the surrounding area has been sealed off, and she won't make a sound even if her throat is broken.

The person who came was Chen Yuan. After finding out that Concubine Yang happened to be here, he thought about it and decided to find out the details of the concubine first. One was because of the previous ban on entering and leaving the palace. What is the situation.

Why did you come to see him, and still persevere.

After he went home last night, he found that people from the Fourth Prince's Mansion came to send greeting cards, and their words were very sincere. Although he was dismissed by the people in Wuweibo Mansion, he vaguely felt that Sima Ke might Will come again.

And whether the turmoil of the previous incident has passed.

While Yang Guifei was flustered, a wisp of hot air blew in her ear:

"Don't be afraid, ma'am, it's me."

Hearing this extremely familiar voice, Concubine Yang widened her eyes and asked in a low voice:

"Chen Yuan?"

"right."

"Let go of me quickly, or I will die," Concubine Yang Guifei warned immediately, but before she could say anything, her body suddenly seemed to be covered with bugs, which made her feel weak, and if she threatened, she would be ashamed. Nothing was said immediately.

"Otherwise, what does the empress think?"

Chen Yuan sneered coldly.

"You... how dare you be so rude?"

Concubine Yang Guifei was a little limp and weak, she said in a low voice.

"Ah"

Chen Yuan sneered twice, and took half a step back.

Waiting for the soft feeling on her body to fade away, Concubine Yang suddenly turned her head, staring at him with great vigilance and a subtle strangeness in her eyes and said:

"You are presumptuous, do you know that if this matter gets out, you will be a crime against the Nine Clans!"

"Will the empress let this matter get out?"

Chen Yuan folded his hands, as if looking down at her.

Taking a deep breath, Concubine Yang Guifei snorted coldly, changed the subject, did not dwell on this question too much, and asked instead:

"When did you come back?"

"Why, Chen still needs to report to the imperial concubine when he returns to Beijing?"

"You dare to contradict me!"

"Oh, that's all right, you and I are grasshoppers on the same line now, and the imperial concubine should not expect Chen to bow down to you, I'm used to being straightforward."

Chen Yuan said calmly.

Concubine Yang Gui was at a loss for words.

"What do you want to do?"

"Since Chen is here, do you have to return the empress's harem ban to me?"

Hearing this sentence, Concubine Yang's complexion suddenly changed, she stared at Chen Yuan and asked:

"Chen Yuan, tell me the truth, were you responsible for the turmoil in the harem during the ancestor worship hall?"

"What are you talking about? Chen can't understand."

Chen Yuan directly refused.

"Even if you don't admit it, do you think I can't guess it?" Concubine Yang stared at Chen Yuan firmly. She had guessed before, and after Chen Yuan left, she became more certain about this guess.

Chen Yuan probably didn't encounter a bottleneck, but wanted to avoid the limelight.

But she never told anyone about this guess, because if Chen Yuan was involved in this matter, she would not be able to escape. After all, she gave Chen Yuan the ban.

Of course, the most important thing is that she has no conclusive evidence, everything is just speculation, but this does not prevent her from wanting to use this to threaten Chen Yuan.

In this way, if both of them have a handle, they can form a constraint, and Chen Yuan can no longer threaten their mother and son because of the death of Concubine Shu.

Now, all she has to do is to lure Chen Yuan to admit it.

"You were going to go through the ban of the palace before, and it didn't take long for the shock in the harem. According to the guards in the harem, when you were in the ancestor worship hall that day,

Indeed, a stranger entered inside with a harem ban. Who is this person? Do you need to say more? "

"This is just the concubine's speculation. Who would believe it?"

"Really? Then why did you leave the capital eagerly after the ancestor worship was made a big fuss? If this incident is related to the above incident,

Do you think others will believe it? "

Yang Guifei stared at Chen Yuan and said in a concentrated voice.

Chen Yuan's heart sank, his lowered head showed fierce intent, he didn't expect this woman to be a little clever, but his association was very accurate, then, he stepped forward step by step, and suddenly caught her under Yang Guifei's unbelievable gaze. Touching her neck, said lightly:

"So what? Empress wants to use this to threaten me?"

"You are presumptuous, Chen Yuan, please let go of me, otherwise, you will have to" Concubine Yang hadn't finished threatening, Chen Yuan slapped her directly on the face, looking down at her:

"What do you want?"

"Do you dare to hit me?"

"Your concubine, you have to understand one thing. You and I are not equal at all. You want to use this to threaten me. You have made a wrong calculation." Chen Yuan sneered, and thought:

"Senior, let's do it."

"Amitabha!"

Mo Luo's faint Buddha's name came from Chen Yuan's body, and directly enveloped Yang Guifei's body, her face was a little panicked, as if she saw something unbelievable.

This can be regarded as one of Chen Yuan's backhands. If Concubine Yang Gui is honest, then everything will be fine, but if she really finds something,

Then you have to use some means on her.

It is not advisable to directly change the memory, and it is easy to be noticed by others, but Mo Luo was born in Buddhism, and one of the most outstanding methods of Buddhism is to transform people's beliefs.

Chen Yuan had inquired before, it could gradually influence Concubine Yang Gui’s mind, and gradually make her heart surrender to Chen Yuan, and once solidified,

It is impossible to expel it. Her own cultivation base is inferior, and she does not have the ability to expel the influence of this force.

The Buddha's light gradually dissipated, and Concubine Yang suddenly opened her eyes, staring at Chen Yuan:

"Chen Yuan. You. What did you do to Bengong?"

A gentle smile appeared on Chen Yuan's face, he slowly helped Concubine Yang up, and then patted the dust off her buttocks, causing her body to stiffen involuntarily, but for some reason, she didn't get angry at the moment , and there is an inexplicable refreshing feeling in my heart.

Just staring at Chen Yuan blankly.

"What can Chen do to the empress? I just don't want you and me to turn against each other. Empress, there is one thing you have to understand. No matter whether I have anything to do with the previous harem shock, it has nothing to do with it!

do you understand? "

"You and I are standing on the same line now. If I am suspected, can the empress stay out of the matter? I am afraid that the first one to be abolished by your majesty is the empress."

Chen Yuan's gentle voice rang in Concubine Yang's ears, making her delicate body tremble involuntarily.

"How is it, does your face still hurt?"

Chen Yuan put his hand on it again with concern. It has to be said that although Concubine Yang is a little older, her skin is still delicate. She is not as young as a young woman in her prime, but she has an inexplicable charm.

In fact, Chen Yuan just doesn’t like green apples.

"You let go."

Concubine Yang Guifei swallowed, and stared at Chen Yuandao.

If it was according to her temper, she should have reprimanded her long ago, but at this moment she just couldn't lift her hand, so she could only ask Chen Yuan to take it away by herself.

Chen Yuan smiled, an extreme indifference flashed in the depths of his eyes, and said slowly:

"Chen always abides by the way of a minister, how dare he be rude to your empress?"

"you"

"Okay, give me the ban on the harem."

Chen Yuan's voice was like a breeze blowing in spring, which made Concubine Yang unable to resist, and put the ban back into Chen Yuan's hands from her sleeves.

"Chen has one more thing to ask your empress."

"what do you wish to ask?"

"Why did Sima Ke come to see me several times? What's the secret?"

Chen Yuan stared at Yang Guifei and asked.

"Bengong. I don't know why Ke'er is looking for you."

Yang Guifei said in a low voice.

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, which was a bit unexpected. Is there anything else he doesn't know?

"If that's the case, then there is no problem, the empress will continue to pray."

Chen Yuan confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Concubine Yang, and turned around to leave.

But suddenly Yang Guifei's voice came from behind:

"wait wait wait."

"What else is there for your mother?"

Chen Yuan turned his head.

Concubine Yang Guifei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Help Ke'er."

"Why? Sima Ke regarded me as an enemy before. Why should I help someone who is of no use to me? Empress give me a reason."

"You said it yourself, our mother and son are standing on the same line with you now. If we lose power, you will not get any benefits, but if Ke'er becomes the prince, you will also get great benefits. This palace can see I see that you are an ambitious person, don't you want the power to go to the opposition?"

Yang Guifei stared at Chen Yuan and asked.

Chen Yuan, on the other hand, was thoughtful. If he had the right to pursue his ambitions before, but since he knew his identity and understood that the Sima family was not that simple, he wanted to separate himself from one side.

But if you can spend some leisure time, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

"As long as you can help Ke'er ascend to the crown prince, I will agree to any conditions!"
