Bright Spring

Cao Fu was very kind at first, but Chen Xianzhen was so aggressive that he also became a little angry.Although Cao Fu is only a domestic slave in the palace, what position does he have in front of the emperor?The eunuchs and maids in the palace, even the noble concubines, would give him a little bit of sympathy, and most of them spoke politely; but now it's a good thing, and he was reprimanded by a foreign lady!

He said coldly: "Did the emperor seal your concubine? You have to know what your status is."

"It's too deceitful, you are too insulting!" Chen Xianzhen scolded angrily, "You eunuch, go ask the emperor what he did to me in the front hall of Rouyi Palace? Why didn't you dislike me then? Now I hate it."

Cao Fu said angrily: "Who will the emperor visit and call to sleep with, the supervisor of ceremonies will have records, but there is no way to find out what you said!"

Chen Xianzhen blushed and said loudly: "Please come and tell me personally, the emperor wants me to go, won't you even see me once?"

Cao Fu was already full of anger, but after hearing this sentence, he calmed down a little.He suddenly realized again that he was here to run an errand for the emperor, so if he messed up the errand and had to make trouble with the emperor and annoy him, that would be bad.If you can't do this well, how can you be reused?

"Listen to our family." Cao Fu's attitude immediately became better.

"Chen Xiangu, you have clear priorities. The most important thing for you to go to Beijing is for Chen Jiyao's affairs? Now the court has made concessions and offered very generous conditions to recruit Chen Jiyao. As long as he is willing to give up the emperor's title and surrender The king of Annan Kingdom (Chen Zhengyuan), the king will recognize his clan status and give him a title, and he can also get a fief to govern himself; the generals under Chen Jikuo will all be rewarded. Wouldn’t it be a good thing for everyone to be happy to restore the Chen Kingdom? ?

The imperial court will send an envoy to go there with Chen Xiangu.The Ministry of War issued a military order to the Annan Governor's Mansion (the former Jiaozhi Chief Envoy Siyamen) to release some captives and go back to inform Chen Jikuo; then you take a sea boat and dock at the river mouth near Qinghua, and let Chen Jikuo's people welcome you .If Chen Jikuo is willing to surrender, Chen Xiangu's clan status will be justified, why not? "

At this moment, Chen Xianzhen looked at the window suddenly, and said coldly: "If you want to listen, you can come in generously. If you eavesdrop like this, how can you look like a queen?"

Cao Fu looked back at the window, but saw nothing.

... The person standing by the window is none other than Queen Annan, Queen Chen.Not long ago, Chen Xianzhen had a loud voice and agitated emotions, which attracted Chen's attention.She couldn't help being curious, so she came over to hear what happened to Chen Xianzhen.

Mrs. Chen understood the general idea, and already had a bad premonition in her heart.The Taoist nun's hatred may be transferred to himself.

They are all women, of course Mrs. Chen understands women's thoughts.If Chen Xian really felt that there were two people who were sorry for her at the same time, she would probably hate the woman Chen Shi even more.Especially when that man has the ability to give Chen Xianzhen benefits, such hatred is easier to transfer; probably because women subconsciously feel that women are competitors?

Perhaps Chen's life here has been stable for a long time, and she feels that she is becoming more and more timid.For some reason, after being discovered by the Taoist aunt, Chen Shi didn't want to face it.

She thought of the half-step back and back when facing Li Li approaching with his sword in the manor in the city of Thang Long, probably similar to her mood at this time.Unwilling to face it, but could only forcefully hold on.

Chen Shi walked to the door and appeared under the eyes of the two people inside.

Daoist Xianzhen looked at Chen with hatred, and said in Chinese: "I understand, you are the one who slandered the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

Sure enough!

Embarrassed and uncomfortable, Chen thought: I didn't lie, you said it yourself, don't be deceived by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Shi glanced at the eunuch Cao Fu, she remembered that Cao Fu was not there when she spoke ill of Chen Xianzhen in front of Zhu Gaoxu.Chen said in an ambiguous way: "Don't use the heart of a villain to save the belly of a gentleman."

"Hmph!" Daoist Xianzhen sneered, "You are such a different woman, do you know what Annan people will say about you?"

Chen raised her head and said coldly: "If the words you said reach the emperor's ears, do you still want to go back alive? Just be content!"

Daoist Xianzhen took a look at Cao Fu who was sitting next to her, then turned her head and said to Mrs. Chen: "I wish the emperor would kill me, right? The humiliation you have given me will one day be punished!"

Cao Fu raised his hand and said, "Okay, you two, don't be arrogant. Let Chen Xiangu go back with the fleet and tell Chen Jizuo the kindness of the court. This is an imperial decree, and no one can disobey it! Otherwise, it will be decapitation." Chen Xiangu, you have to pack up and get ready, when the day comes for the fleet to set sail, whether you like it or not, you have to set off."

After saying that, he stood up, cupped his hands to Taoist Xianzhen, and said, "You have heard what our family has said, please leave."

Cao Fu turned around, gave Chen another wink, and slightly raised his head outside the door.Mrs. Chen understood Cao Fu's meaning, she should let herself leave together, and don't make a big deal with Chen Xianzhen here.

Chen didn't even say goodbye, and before turning around to leave, she took another look at Chen Xianzhen, only to see Chen Xianzhen's eyes were cold, reminiscent of the letter of the poisonous snake!

At this time, the Chen family already understood that Chen Xianzhen's hatred for her might not be able to reconcile.The Chen family wanted Zhu Gaoxu to simply kill Chen Xianzhen; but now the court is still trying to recruit peace, I am afraid Zhu Gaoxu is unwilling to kill Chen Jikuo's envoy.

Moreover, Chen vaguely guessed: Zhu Gaoxu and Chen Xian really had a physical relationship, even if he is tired of this woman now, he will still give her a way out.That kind of thing between men and women is indeed very strange.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen dismissed her thoughts and tried to force Zhu Gaoxu to get rid of Chen Xianzhen's idea.She didn't want to see that Zhu Gaoxu was a little bored with herself.

When the two arrived in the corridor, Cao Fu changed his expression just now and became very polite. He bent down and said kindly: "Queen, you have to calm down and don't be as knowledgeable as her. Our family is blind, so we let her have a chance to approach." Your Majesty!"

Chen pretended to be relaxed and said: "Forget it, after she returns to China this time, I am afraid that we will never see her again for the rest of our lives."

Cao Fu nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Our family has to go back and return to our orders. Let's say goodbye."

Chen's etiquette said: "Eunuch Cao, go slowly."

As soon as she turned around, Chen Xianzhen's eyes full of hatred, like a poisonous snake's letter, appeared in front of her eyes again. The impression was very deep and unforgettable.

Chapter 724 Don't Be Afraid

The eunuch Cao Fu leaned on a green oil-paper umbrella and walked out of the Rouyi Hall. He was going to see Zhu Gaoxu and report the result of his errand.In the weather of leprosy and drizzle, the umbrella has to be opened crookedly to prevent the head and face from being wet by the rain.

Earlier, he hurt Chen Xianzhen a few words in front of Queen Annan, but he was far from being able to appease him.Cao Fu is not like Wang Jinghong who wants to do something big and make a name in the history books. He just wants to feel at ease. Unexpectedly, that Taoist priest Chen Xianzhen dared to make him very angry.

After pondering for a while, Cao Fu quickened his pace and walked towards Fengtianmen.Cao Fu didn't stay in the Rouyi Hall for too long in the morning, so he guessed that the early court was not over yet, and the emperor should be in Fengtianmen to listen to the government at this moment.

Go straight east along the brick square outside the main gate of Rouyi Hall, and Cao Fu will soon arrive at Wulou.Without anyone stopping him, he passed the martial building, and there was a wide brick floor inside.At this time, as long as you look to the southeast, you can see the towering and majestic Fengtianmen.

Cao Fu walked in through the north gate of Fengtian Gate, but saw that the throne was empty.The case set up by the Imperial Academy is still there below, and some officials on duty are sitting on both sides writing something. No one speaks, and the sound of pens falling on the paper can be heard.

Cao Fu didn't say a word, and walked out of Fengtian Gate the same way.He met an eunuch outside the door, and he stepped forward and asked, "The morning court is over, and the emperor has returned to the East Nuan Pavilion?"

The eunuch bent down and said: "Go back to Eunuch Cao, this servant saw that the emperor has gone to the east corner gate." As he said, he pointed his finger to the east.

Cao Fu nodded, feeling a little strange in his heart.

There are three gates in this place, Fengtian Gate in the middle, West Corner Gate and East Corner Gate on both sides; emperors usually only come to Fengtian Gate, not to the corner gates on both sides.However, there is a saying about the East Corner Gate. It is said that when Jianwen was the emperor, he and his confidant Huang Zicheng discussed the matter of cutting down feudal vassals in secret. .

After a while, Cao Fu entered the east corner gate, and saw several people standing inside, including eunuchs and Jinyiwei Dahan generals.When everyone saw the emperor's confidant eunuch Cao Fu, they all cupped their fists and greeted him.

Cao Fu arched his hands, looked up at the stairs, and went straight to the attic.

As soon as he walked to the attic, he suddenly saw a green-robed official kneeling on the ground and prostrating, while Zhu Gaoxu was standing not far from the stairs.Cao Fu hurriedly took two steps back, lest the official even kneel down and worship him, a eunuch can't afford such a big gift.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Cao Fu, nodded his head lightly, stepped forward to help the official, and said, "Get up and talk."

After Cao Fu and other officials stood up, he went back to the attic and stood silently waiting.

This green-robed official was also strange, to be summoned by the emperor alone, but it turned out to be someone Cao Fu didn't know.Cao Fu often appeared by the emperor's side, who can meet the emperor in close contact, who does he not know?

I saw that the official was very young, but he was yellow and thin.Cao Fu suddenly remembered, not long ago there were more than a hundred new Jinshi?Most of these officials are newly promoted Jinshi.

Zhu Gaoxu spoke first: "Liu Ming, I saw the list in the pedestrian department's newspaper, and Si Zhengyan said, it was you who volunteered to go to An Nanguo to meet Chen Jikuo?"

The official named Liu Ming paid homage: "Return to the Holy Master, as Si Zheng said, this matter is my request."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "At the beginning of Yongle, the Annan people ambushed the envoys and officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and even Dali Temple Qing Xue Yan almost died there. You have just passed the Jinshi examination, so don't go this time."

Liu Ming raised his head suddenly, meeting Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, the two monarchs and ministers looked at each other subtly.

Seeing this, Cao Fu was even more puzzled, when did this new Jinshi get the emperor's appreciation?

Liu Mingdao: "I thank you for your love. I have heard of the achievements of my confidant, and I yearn for it. I am fortunate to be a student of the emperor. Even though I go to Annan, I will not be able to repay the kindness of the saint. Kuangchen thinks that there is nothing to be afraid of on this trip."

"Oh?" Zhu Gaoxu made a sound.
