I Have a Luck Altar

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, and lose your sense of proportion."

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

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

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

Chen Yuan remained calm, his gaze indifferent.

"Outside?"

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

"Uncle's eyes are like torches, 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."

"Ok?"

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 imperial 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 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 be of great use."

"It is also reused if it is released outside."

"I understand now."

Zhang Yantong returned to official duties and claimed to be his 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's eyes flickered, staring at Chen Yuan.

"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 recorded 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 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 is too close to Zhongzhou, 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 more than 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.

"No problem, no problem."

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."

The gold envoy of Yizhou is a senior official of the fourth rank, and he can be called a big official of the frontier. These officials, together with the titled general and the third rank state herdsman, are in charge of the three major affairs of the military, political and military departments of Yizhou.

It is impossible to make decisions only by relying on Xuntiansi.

They only have the right to recommend, and the real decision is still 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 that I'm afraid 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.

For the rest, just wait.

When the time comes, start preparing!

After Zhang Mansion left, Chen Yuan returned all the way to Uncle Wuwei's Mansion, and then slept very comfortably, 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 reporting, Chen Yuan met Jiang He's old friend Li Hongshuang in the main hall under the leadership of a Taoist nun.

He was still dressed in a daoist robe, but even the loose taoist robe could hardly hide Li Hongshuang's graceful figure. He glanced at Chen Yuan very peacefully, and then ordered:

"Okay, you go down first."

"Yes, Lord Guan!"

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

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

"Meet my sister-in-law."

Li Hongshuang suppressed the strange feeling 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 take with 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 kit in front of him without moving for a long time, as if he didn't want to hear any bad news from it, but there was a hint of hope in his heart.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan said tactfully:

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

After speaking, without waiting for Li Hongshuang to say anything more, she turned and left.

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 kit in his hand.

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

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

The young Taoist nun at the side knew that Chen Yuan was a distinguished guest of the temple master, so she did not dare to neglect at all, and told Chen Yuan everything in the temple in detail.

Chen Yuan suddenly saw that another palace was heavily guarded, and was guarding it in the armor of imperial 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 Guannei 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.

It has been six days since she came here to pray for blessings, and it would be almost enough to come again tomorrow. Although she herself knew that this kind of thing was useless, she still couldn't help looking for comfort in her heart.

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

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

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

In the same way, if the fourth prince Sima Ke gains power, she will not let that bitch go.

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

But the problem is, Sima Ke rarely came 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's thoughts were chaotic, a hand that had always been steady and strong suddenly climbed onto her shoulders. Concubine Yang was startled and was about to shout,

But the surrounding area has been completely sealed off, so she won't make a sound even if she screams.

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 do you want to 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.

When Concubine Yang Gui was flustered, a wisp of hot air blew in her ears:

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

Hearing this extremely familiar voice, Yang Guifei 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.

When the soft feeling on her body faded away, Concubine Yang suddenly turned her head, staring at him with great vigilance and a subtle strangeness in her eyes, saying:

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

"Will the empress let this matter get out?"

Chen Yuan put his hands behind his back, as if looking down at her.

Taking a deep breath, Concubine Yang Gui snorted coldly, changed the subject, did not dwell too much on this question, 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 Bengong!"

"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 to you, I am 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 it before, and after Chen Yuan left, she became more certain about the 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 Concubine Shu's death.

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

"You were about to go through my palace's ban 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 in hand. Who is this person? Do you need to say more? "

"This is just a conjecture by the empress. Who would believe it?"

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

Do you think people will believe it? "

Concubine Yang Gui 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? The empress wants to use this to threaten me?"

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

"What do you want?"

"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 had seen something unbelievable.

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

He just stared at Chen Yuan blankly.

"What can Chen do to my mother? I just don't want you and me to turn against each other. My mother, there is one thing you have to understand. No matter whether I have anything to do with the previous harem shock or not, 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 ear, 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 bit older, her skin is still delicate, and 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 her saliva, stared at Chen Yuandao.

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, a flash of extreme indifference flashed deep in 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, making Concubine Yang unable to resist, she put the ban back into Chen Yuan's hands from her sleeves.

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

"what do you wish to ask?"

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

Chen Yuan stared at Yang Guifei and asked.

"Bengong. Bengong doesn't know why Ke'er came to you."

Yang Guifei said in a low voice.

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

"If that's the case, then there's no problem. Your Majesty, please continue to pray."

After Chen Yuan confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Yang Guifei, he turned around and wanted to leave.

But Yang Guifei's voice suddenly came from behind:

"wait wait wait."

"What else is there, ma'am?"

Chen Yuan turned his head.

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? My lady 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.

And Chen Yuan 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 so simple, he wanted to separate himself from one side.

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

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