After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

Jiang Chen and the envoy have finished their trip in the Northern Kingdom, and the group will return to the Xuanwu Dynasty soon.

Not long after leaving the capital, it started to fall, with snowflakes flying all over the sky.

Soon, the snow on the road covered the horses' legs, and it was very difficult for the large group of people to continue moving forward.

Seeing the ice and snow everywhere, the general from the North who accompanied them came to the King of Wei and said:

"Your Highness, King Wei, look at how heavy the snow is falling. It is impossible to go to the inn to rest as originally planned. Moreover, this extremely cold weather is also a kind of cold weather for those of you from the south. Challenge. Now that the road is blocked by heavy snow, we may not be able to leave even if we want to. Why not stay in an inn nearby first, and wait until the snow stops and the road opens before leaving."

King Wei looked at the white land in front of him, and then at the people accompanying him, who were also trekking with great difficulty.

He turned to look at Jiang Chen beside him and said:

"Deputy Ambassador Jiang, I think what General Han said is right. The snow is falling so hard. As we move forward, we will not be able to reach the village or store behind. If we are trapped here by the heavy snow, we will freeze to death by night." Not here."

Jiang Chen looked at the heavy snow flying in front of him, turned to Wei and said:

"I agree. King Wei is right. If we are really trapped here in this bad weather, we will freeze to death sooner or later. It is better to find a place to stay first so that everyone can avoid the snow. It seems that even God wants to keep us for a few more days."

Han Qiyuan, who was on the side, immediately ordered his followers to check if there was an inn closest to here.

Not long after waiting, the attendant who checked them came back and took them to an inn about five miles away.

Seeing the business coming, the store owner hurriedly made way inside:

"My lords, it's freezing outside. Please hurry inside. It seems that this heavy snow will not stop unless it rains for three or two days. The heavy snow will block the road and you won't be able to walk for a while. of."

Jiang Chen looked at the store owner and said:

"The store owner is right. I wonder if there can be room in our store with so many of us."

When the store owner heard what Jiang Chen said, he was afraid that his business would be lost, so he quickly said to him: "Yes, I can live in it, I can definitely live in it. There is a big heated kang in the house, so I can ensure that you all can live comfortably. Yes. Just don’t worry.”

Jiang Chen looked at the shopkeeper in front of him who had a flattering look on his face, fearing that they would leave. He looked at everything here with vigilant cold eyes.

King Wei quickly ordered him:

"Then lead us in quickly. If there is anything delicious in the store, just go up. Our people are all hungry. Remember to be fast and take good care of us. Your benefits are indispensable."

The shopkeeper nodded and bowed, and said to him quickly:

"Don't worry, sir. You follow the waiter to the store to have a rest. I will go to the kitchen to make arrangements immediately."

Jiang Chen was led into the room. As the store owner said, the inside of the room and the outside were indeed two different worlds.

Looking at the extremely warm room, Jiang Chen took off his coat. The entourage beside him took the clothes from his hand and shook off the snowflakes on them. Putting the clothes aside.

At this moment, the waiter walked in with a pot of water.

"Sir, drink some hot water to warm yourself up first. The food will be ready soon."

As soon as the waiter walked out, Jiang Feng opened the door and walked in. As soon as he saw Jiang Chen, he said to him:

"I didn't expect that we would encounter such horrible weather as heavy snow on the way back. It seems that we will have to stay here for two more days."

When Jiang Chen saw Jiang Feng come in, he stood up and greeted him:

"Brother is here, please sit down."

Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Chen in front of him and said:

"We brothers, it is a rare opportunity to be together. Since I came here, I saw that you have been busy. This time, you were able to get rid of Yeluhan with your own efforts. You really helped their northern country a lot. To Otherwise, once Yeluhan leads his troops to attack the capital, I am afraid that even the emperor's position will not be saved. And Yeluhan hates Fan Yao so much. If he succeeds, Fan Yao will not even be able to save his life. Do you think he has taken advantage of you? "

Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Feng sitting there and couldn't guess his intention of coming to his place.

He and Hu Peng have always been like lackeys, clinging to King Wei's side and trying to please him everywhere.

He knew that Jiang Feng had surrendered to King Wei a long time ago. In his heart, King Wei had the power to support Hu Gao, who had the power to support both the government and the public. It should be a matter of time before he takes the throne. As long as he holds on to this thigh tightly now, his future will all depend on King Wei.

Thinking of this, he said to Jiang Feng:

"Where did the big brother come from? Yeluhan's rebellion was unpopular in the first place. The traitors and traitors were found and punished by everyone. How can these credits be attributed to me alone?"

Jiang Feng said to him:

"This is all your credit. If it weren't for you, how could they have subdued Yeluhan without even a single soldier? Fan Yao wouldn't have been able to secure the position of prince so quickly. When he was with us When I was in the Hou Mansion, I really didn’t expect that he had such a strong background. It seems that you know people better. Fan Yao is also grateful for meeting you as a friend, otherwise, he would not be so good. Good luck."

Jiang Chen said to Jiang Feng in front of him:

"The most important thing about making friends is getting to know each other. I didn't know he had such an identity before. Now that he has such an opportunity, I'm really happy for him. It's not because he met me. Such luck. By the way, I forgot to ask you why you and Hu Peng came to the North Country. Is there something wrong with you coming so far?"

How could Jiang Feng dare to say that he came to inform King Wei about Fan Yao, not to mention that the purpose of his trip was Jiang Chen in front of him. He only said to him perfunctorily:

"I heard Hu Peng said that you were coming as envoys to the Northern Kingdom, and he also wanted to come here to see more. So he asked Dun to come over with him. Originally, he just wanted to come here and see the scenery of the Northern Kingdom. But he didn't expect that Yeluhan would rebel. It was a major event. It turned out to be a false alarm, and I didn’t see any scenery.”

Jiang Chen continued to ask him:

"When you passed the border this time, did you go see grandpa and father?"

Jiang Feng saw Jiang Chen asking this. When he came, I just wanted to hurry up with Hu Peng to catch up with the King of Wei and come to report a message. Where have you ever thought about going to see your grandfather and father? So he hesitated and said.

"When we go back, let's go see grandpa and father together. We were in a hurry when we came. We didn't go to meet them."

Before Jiang Chen could speak, his men came over to report. Let Jiang Chen go out to eat.

Jiang Chen said to Jiang Feng.

"Come on, let's go outside and eat first. Don't keep King Wei waiting too long."

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he stood up first. He really didn't want to talk to Jiang Feng about topics that even he couldn't talk about.

Jiang Feng saw that Jiang Chen had stood up, so he had no choice but to stand up as well. The two came to the lobby of the inn one after another.

Looking there again, it was already full of people. King Wei invited them to sit down next to him and said while eating:

"I didn't expect that all of us would have dinner together in an inn like this. Besides, it's still snowing heavily outside. In fact, Jiang Chen should compose a poem to cheer up the scenery. The best poet here is undoubtedly You are here. We are all looking forward to it."

Jiang Chen was already very hungry at this time. He wanted to quickly fill his stomach and then go back to the house to have a good sleep.

Since entering the Northern Kingdom, he has been thinking about Fan Yao's affairs, so he has not slept well at all.

After Fan Yao was injured, he stayed by his side day and night. Finally, I was able to take advantage of the snowy day and have a chance to let him have a good sleep and rest after eating.

Who would have thought that the king of Wei, who pretended to be elegant, actually asked him to compose poems in public. After taking a few mouthfuls of food, he put down his chopsticks. Then he said to King Wei:

"Your Highness, King Wei, what's the point of writing a poem alone? The one here is not a scholar with great literary talent. Why don't you start with me? I'll give them a sample introduction, and everyone will write an impromptu poem. If someone comes to If you can’t do it there, you’ll have to drink a drink as a penalty. This way everyone can participate and it can also improve the atmosphere at the dinner table.”

At this moment, Jiang Chen just wanted to finish his meal and leave here quickly, so he first recited a poem about snow, and then let the person next to him take over. He happened to be eating the food in front of him. Seeing Jiang Chen being so perfunctory and unable to show any interest, King Wei said to Jiang Chen beside him:

"Jiang Chen, why do I look at you and see that you are not happy at all? Do you think that people like us are not worthy of reciting poems against you?"

Before Jiang Chen could answer, Hu Peng who was on the side also took over and said:

"Jiang, a great poet, is only worthy of exchanging literary talents with those masters and great scholars. Our inferior poetry will not arouse his interest. Am I right, Jiang Chen?"

Jiang Chen heard Hu Peng's sour words in his ears. He was not disturbed by his words at all and was still eating by himself.

When he put down his chopsticks, he said to Hu Peng, who had been bullying him since he was a child:

"Why do I smell a sour smell? Who's jealous? I'm just hungry and want to eat a few more bites. What's more, wasn't I the first poem? I think it will be over soon. It's your turn. If you have the ability to talk about people, you'd better think about the poem quickly."

Hu Peng was ridiculed by Jiang Chen and became so angry that he became angry. He said to Jiang Chen in front of him:

"Jiang Chen, don't look down on others just because you think you can write a few poems. Although I'm not as good at writing as you, but I, a distinguished Jinshi on the list, am not as bad as you think. I will be able to write it right now. If you think of a song, I'll show it to you. I, Hu Peng, didn't give it to me for nothing."

When Jiang Feng saw that Hu Peng was having sex with Jiang Chen, although he was very happy in his heart, on the surface, he still pretended to be a peacemaker and said to them:

"Okay, okay, wouldn't it be a joke to quarrel over such a trivial matter? Besides, Jiang Chen is still a deputy envoy with status. We are trapped here, and there is no entertainment in the first place. King Wei asked everyone to Reciting poems and drinking wine at the dinner table is a way for us to relax. Hu Peng, it's your turn soon, be careful if you write poorly and make everyone laugh."

Hu Peng looked at Jiang Feng and said:

"Who are you looking down on? If I can't even compose a poem, how did I get admitted as a Jinshi? Although I'm not a member of your mission, I won't let you look down on me."

King Wei looked at Jiang Chen and saw that Jiang Chen was still minding his own meal, as if what Hu Peng said had nothing to do with him.

He raised the wine glass in his hand and said to Jiang Chen beside him:

"Come, Jiang Chen, let's have a drink. Our trip to the Northern Kingdom is well worth it. And you have gained a lot. You can help the Northern Kingdom with just one person and without spending a single soldier." Reversed the situation. Helped them resolve the crisis of the upcoming coup. It was Yeluhan's fate to meet you. I guess he couldn't understand that he, the great marshal of the Northern Kingdom, would sink his boat and lose his fortune just by you. In the hands of a foreign envoy. He is probably in prison now, gnashing his teeth and hating you."

Jiang Chen understood that Yeluhan was not the only one who was gnashing his teeth and hating himself.

His actions not only hindered King Wei's plan to come here, but also made Hu Peng and Jiang Feng travel thousands of miles here to help King Wei. In the end, everything was ruined because he allowed Yeluhan to enter the palace.

Seeing that King Wei was still very polite to him on the surface, he really didn't know why he hated himself in his heart.

From Hu Peng, who was used to being arrogant and never concealed himself, you could feel the resentment he felt towards him in his heart at this moment.

Jiang Chen raised the wine glass in his hand and pointedly said to King Wei:

"Yeluhan was arrested, which is not due to me. It was because he was blind and arrogant and could not recognize his position. As the emperor's nephew, he not only did not thank the emperor for his favor. He also had to look at Shu, thinking Holding a dove and occupying the magpie's nest. The position of the prince should have been occupied by Fan Yao, who had the blood of the emperor in his body. And relying on the power in his hands, he sent people to hunt down Fan Yao several times. In the end, he even frantically led his troops. The capital was forcing the palace. It was his failure to recognize the situation and find his own position that led to his failure. He couldn't blame anyone at all. In fact, he was completely blinded by the throne. If he hadn't given birth to this Zhu Gai Thinking about it, he can definitely make a career in his position. This can only be blamed on him being unsatisfied with the status quo and wanting to usurp the throne. Therefore, this person cannot be too greedy. If he is not careful, he will let himself go. His reputation is ruined and his future is ruined.”

In King Wei's ears, he thought about every word Jiang Chen said about Yeluhan, as if he was talking about him, and every word hit his heart.

Yeluhan is like a mirror of himself, and his current situation is very similar to Yeluhan.

So every word Jiang Chen said was like a needle inserted into his heart.
