Chapter 39 Who is the woman?
"Brother Chen, how have you been in the court these years?" After the girls set meals, the four moved to the flower hall and sat down. Murong Changtian asked.
"Hey! You have been far away from the court these years, but you should have heard something about the court. Chen Jialuo shook his head and sighed.
"You know, after I quit politics, I didn't want to ask more about the court. If Qinger hadn't been working in the court, I wouldn't have been willing to ask about it at all."
Chen Jialuo approached Murong Changtian's side, looked cautiously outside the door, and then said, "If it hadn't been for our old ministers in that court, the matter would not have been decided by the Gong family."
"I have heard about the power of the Gong family, but I didn't expect it to reach such a point? Then the emperor also let them intervene?" Murong Changtian questioned.
"If it weren't for this, do you think I can't retreat yet?"
Murong Changtian was clear, nodded, and then shook his head and asked, "According to what Brother Chen saw, why did the emperor suddenly order Luo'er to marry Miss Gong this time?"
Because it was the emperor's direct will, he had always suspected that Murong Luo was making a cause in the dark. No matter how bad it was, it was just a little trick made by Luoer to save his mother. But now according to Chen Gallo's words, he can't help worrying about whether the Gong family's move is to win over the Murong family to further strengthen his power in the dynasty? If the Gong family really has such a calculation, then in the future, maybe the Murong family will no longer be peaceful. Thinking back then, he retreated bravely because he didn't want to go into the muddy waters of court affairs, but he didn't expect that after so many years, he still couldn't avoid it.
"I also thought about this. This time, the emperor gave me a marriage, and I didn't even let me know in advance. I think it must be the queen's intention." Chen Jialuo said this and looked at Murong Changtian's expression and continued: "The Gong family is smart. First, they declined the emperor's appointment with their people. Then most of the business was closed, but they only held the most important salt and grain in the country and refused to give up. Then he secretly cultivated a large number of his own forces in the court. Although it does not seem to be an important position on the surface, it involves various fields. In my opinion, the Gong family and the queen's move is also because of our family in the past, there are only two families left. I think the Gong family also wants to use your hand to consolidate the queen's position. Recently, Qiao Guifei has been extremely favored.
The Qiao family is a rookie, and his daughter gradually showed his face in front of the emperor, so his father worshipped the prime minister and became an official. Queen Gong is old, but she has been childless, and Princess Qiao is at the top of the sky. Although she has not given birth to a child, she is still young. Maybe one day she will be favored and successfully give birth to Lin'er, and the position of the queen will inevitably be in danger.
Now the Gong family has chosen Murongluo. I guess it is not only important to value his Murong family, but also to see that Princess Nalan is the emperor's favorite sister. In the future, for the sake of Nalan's son's future, the emperor will also be afraid and will not easily abolish the queen.
In this way, it makes a lot of points. However, Murong Changtian was very unhappy about his unprovoked calculation by the Gong family.
"Brother Murong, I also know what you are worried about. You are no longer an official in the court. Even if something happens in the future, it will not be implicated in you. It's just that Qing'er suffered. He is now a young man and has an official worshiper. He is afraid that when the marriage between Miss Gong and Luo'er is over, the emperor is afraid that he will be promoted. Qing'er holds the military power in his hand, and he will inevitably be pushed to the forefront of the storm in the future. Therefore, I still need to plan more for Qing'er!" Chen Jialuo saw Murong Changtian's eyebrows and silent for a long time, so he made important remarks everywhere.
Murong Changtian nodded, turned his face to look at Murong Qing, shook his head again, and sighed, "Brother Chen said, why don't you know what my brother said? However, once you are in the court, you can't help it, and everything can't be controlled by Qinger. In the future, Qing'er will have to rely on Brother Chen for more help in everything.
"Do you and my brother still say this? You also know that my knees are thin, and I have regarded Qing'er as my own for a long time. Even if you don't open this mouth, I will naturally take good care of Qing'er!" Chen Jialuo held Murong Changtian's fist, looked at the other side of the two children, and said with relief, "Forkenly, Kanger and Qinger are in the military department and have always been fighting side by side, and the two brothers can also take care of each other."
When Murong Changtian heard this, he was also gratified: "Yes! Looking at Kang'er and Qing'er now, I remember how majestic the four of us were when we fought side by side in the past!"
"Hey! It's just that the past is over!" Chen Jialuo also sighed with emotion.
"Has Yan Zhao's child been missing so far?" Murong Changtian suddenly thought of it and asked.
Chen Jialuo lowered his voice and said, "No! However, although the emperor has never mentioned it in front of me, I also know that he has always been secretly visited.
"Hasn't he let it go yet?" Murong Changtian questioned the question.
Chen Jialuo shook his head silently: "Who can easily release this kind of thing?"
Since ancient times, it has been cutting grass out of roots! Even in the battle, Yan Zhao's son was just a young child. However, King Wu of Zhou can't help but worry that one day, Yan Zhao's children will grow up and gather all forces to rebel. I think that there were many old ministers who accompanied Yan Zhao at the beginning. Although they were all anonymous, if they could gather together, it would really not be underestimated. It seems that although King Wu of Zhou has been the son of heaven over the years, he has to be held everywhere from time to time, and his heart may not be better.
It's just that what happened in those years can't be completely blamed on King Wu of Zhou, and Yan Zhao is indeed too ruthless and cruel. But today, he still can't figure out why Yan Zhao suddenly changed his character and actually took action against Chen Jialuo's family, Chen Kang's biological mother and sister. If Chen Jialuo's experience hadn't made him feel cold, he wouldn't have had today's King Wu of Zhou!
But let's take a look at today's Zhou Xiong. Since he became an emperor, he has also changed his nature, but it's good to take good care of their brothers in everything. If it is also like Yan Zhao, he and Chen Jialuo will never sit idly by. Because of this, although he retired, he still let Murong Qing enter the court. However, the emperor may have no idea of Murong Qing, but he can't stand others to instigate him. At that time, can the emperor still remember their past feelings?
Suddenly, Murong Changtian had a trace of doubt in his heart.
"That's all, we don't have to mention these past events! It's not easy for our brothers to meet in these years. They are all one year younger than once. Let's talk more and talk about life. Referring to Yan Zhao's son, Chen Jialuo's face couldn't help showing painful sadness. Murong Changtian quickly changed the topic: "Brother Chen, Kang'er is not young now. Have you ever thought about getting married?"
"I was going to tell you about this. Since you asked first, I have something to say!" When asked about Chen Kang's marriage, Chen Jialuo withdrew his thoughts, stretched his face a little, and showed a smiling face.
Murong Changtian estimated that Chen Jialuo thought of himself and said loudly, "Brother Chen, but it's okay to say it!"
"In this case, I will give up this old face, propose marriage for Kanger here, and let your Wan'er be my daughter-in-law. What do you think? As for the bride price or something, Murong can just say it. Chen Jialuo said and arched his hand and said politely.
Suddenly, I heard two fathers amplify their voices. It turned out that they were discussing their marriage with Murong Wan. Chen Kangrao was a young man who also lowered his head and blushed. However, he was also eager to know Murong Changtian's opinion, and his eyes secretly stared at the two fathers.
Murong Qing next to him has long known the feelings of the two people and anxiously wants to know what his father means.
Murong Changtian looked at Chen Kang's expression and nodded secretly in his heart, but anyway, Murong Wan was also a girl's family. Moreover, in the past years, he owed this daughter, so he could not make a casual decision on Murong Wan's marriage. He must let Murong Wan get real happiness. In order to test Chen Kang, he said, "It is said that Brother Chen personally proposed marriage. I shouldn't refuse, but..." With that, he glanced at Chen Gallo.
"Hey! Since Murong has other plans for Wan'er, it can only be that my Kanger does not have this blessing. Chen Jialuo sighed as if he pretended to regret.
"However, Kang'er is talented, and there must be many ladies and nobles waiting for Kang'er's favor, right?" Murong Changtian was complimenting Chen Kang in words, but in fact, he was secretly observing Chen Kang's reaction and frequently squeezed Chen Jialuo's eyes.
Chen Jialuo took the opportunity to boast about himself, as if he wanted to make Murong Changtian regret: "This does not mean that I praise my own children. Kang'er is really a good son-in-law in the eyes of the major families in the court. Even the emperor has hinted to me many times that he wants to promise the princess to my family."
"Hey! Since Brother Chen said so, my Wan'er really can't stand in Kang'er's bright future.
Seeing that the good thing was approaching, it stopped abruptly. How could Chen Kang be willing? He was busy kicking Murong Qing under the table. Of course, Murong Qing was also anxious. As soon as his feet hurt, he shouted regardless, "Father, does your son have anything to say?"
"Oh? Do you have any different opinions?
