The military report from the border passed to the Dongling Dynasty, and the government and the people were shocked.
The methods used by Kun Wushang were too insidious. Looking through the history books, only the famous general known as "Human Tu" during the Warring States Period can be compared.
One pit kills 400,000 soldiers, and one turns the good soil and water into a barren land.
Emperor Ning was furious, and regretted it after his anger. Why didn't he just take Kunwu's injuries to Dongling, or simply kill him!
If he hadn't been a woman, he wouldn't have lost tens of thousands of soldiers in vain!
Tens of thousands of Gu’s soldiers, who were loyal souls who had been hard-trained for generations, died in the poisonous hands of Kunwu’s wounds, and there was no room for resistance...
After thinking about it, I always sighed.
Du Yushi Ji Daogong was waiting here, standing beside him was Chen Yushi, who had already been in the cabinet, now known as Chen Ge old.
The two veterans stood below and looked at each other, clearly seeing the regret of Emperor Ning.
Old Chen Ge stepped forward, "Your Majesty, this is not the time to regret. Gu Hou sent a letter back and asked the Ministry of Household to help collect detoxification medicinal materials. It is not known that Zhenjiang Princess may use these medicinal materials to detoxify the water and soil at the border."
Ningdi slowly nodded, "This matter has to be handled by the Ministry of Households as soon as possible, and the Ministry of War will help. No matter how many medicinal materials are needed, we must alleviate the toxicity in the water and soil as much as possible. Once the poison penetrates into the surrounding city, it will not be the only ones who suffer. Soldiers!"
Old Chen Ge nodded, "This matter, the old minister immediately planned to order. There is another matter, Gu Jiajun was seriously injured, but the Xikun army was in front of the army, and there is no intention to retreat. Will your Majesty send reinforcements to help Guhou? ?"
Ning Di thought for a moment and waved his hand, "This is not necessary. Gu Hou is steadfast. If he needs reinforcements, he will tell me. If you don't say that we don't have to worry about it. Instead, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households should be more active in military supplies. Use your brain, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
The munitions are used in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households. This old man, Mr. Chen, can understand, why is it related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs
He was about to ask a question. Ji Daogong, who had been silent all the time, glanced at him, and Chen Ge gave him his hand and put it down. After thinking about it, he said: "Yes, the lieutenant generals are still weak even after detoxification. Gu Hou and the generals have worked very hard. The minister will order the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War to send more good food, and then the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare the Zhenjiang Princess separately for the necessary items that the princess needs."
Ningdi nodded, satisfied with his understanding, and didn't have much to add.
The two veterans exited the imperial study room, walked along the long corridor towards the outside of the palace, and talked in a row.
They were colleagues who had worked together in Yushitai for many years, and they cooperated with each other tacitly. Chen Ge said: "I would like to thank Ji Lao for the point. If it weren't for you, the official almost forgot Princess Zhenjiang. Speaking of this, the border crisis has been resolved. , And it's up to the princess to turn the tide."
Ji Daogong did not take credit. "Where, the cabinet has not yet formed in its initial construction, and the order of the first and second assistants has not yet been determined. Chen Ge has a lot of clues when he entered the cabinet, and it is inevitable that he will be negligent. On the other hand, although the cabinet is not fully formed, the old cabinet is also now. You don’t need to claim to be an official under the official residence."
Ji Daogong is particularly blue-eyed towards Chen Ge Lao. After two dynasties, he has spent the past few years. Ji Daogong has a unique keenness for the affairs of the DPRK.
The recent series of changes in the DPRK and China gave him an ominous premonition. The more so, the more he hoped that a pure and upright person like Chen Ge Lao would be in the position.
Hearing what he said about the first assistant and second assistant, Chen Ge jumped between his eyebrows and vaguely realized something, and he vaguely realized what he said, "The lower official has served in Yushitai for many years, and he admires the old man Ji very much. Thanks to Mr. Ji. , The subordinates must be conscientious and dedicated to assist Your Majesty."
Ji Daogong pursed his lips and smiled, his gentle gaze revealed the wisdom and transparency of the ancients.
The two continued to walk forward.
"When the cabinet was first established, Your Majesty has completely left the prime minister Yin Shuo aside. There is no plan to include him in the new cabinet, nor the intention to abolish the position of prime minister. But since ancient times, there is no precedent for the cabinet and the prime minister."
Ji Daogong's words were very meaningful. Old Chen Ge thought for a while before he said: "That's true. Your Majesty knew that the cabinet was first established. Many things were dealt with without a charter, but he would rather hand it over to the cabinet than allow Prime Minister Yin to intervene. Especially Gu Jiajun. His Majesty seems to be very taboo against Prime Minister Yin."
Ji Dao fair said: "Yin Shuo's prime minister's power has been emptied, but the position of the cohort is real. It is heard that Princess Danyang was very dissatisfied with the cohort at first, but now it is like glue. Chen Ge must pay attention to himself, don't let people be here. At this time, I took advantage of the cabinet's loopholes."
Old Chen Ge stopped in a daze, suspecting that he had misunderstood Ji Daogong's meaning.
He was suggesting to himself, would Yin Shuo take advantage of the cabinet's failure to gain a firm foothold in the court, and attack the ministers
The Yin family has accumulated for several generations, and has the identity of a concierge, plus the help of the second prince, the brother-in-law... it is not impossible.
For the first time, Mr. Chen Ge thought of his domineering old man. If the political enemies of the DPRK and China wanted to attack him, they would be the first to find Chen Chuxiu.
I was about to thank Ji Daogong, and when he looked up, the old man's figure had already gone very far.
Looking at it this way, there are quite a few Xianfeng Dao bones of the God of Medicine Xunchi.
…
"Has the son come back?"
When Chen Ge returned to the mansion, the first thing he did was to find Chen Chuxiu.
The servant stepped forward and replied, "The son and the younger sons of the father-in-law's family have gone out to race horses. They said they must come back before dark. Please don't worry, Lord."
"Hmph, he often visits the youngest sons of the Gonghou family. They don't need to inherit the family property and have their own father and brother. Can he be the same? Although he is young, he is my only son! I will provoke the mansion in a hundred years. How can you fight with those people?"
Old Chen Ge would indulge him on weekdays. Today, when he heard Ji Lao, who had never talked much, pointed him in person, his heart hung in the air for fear that Chen Chuxiu would be on a business trip outside.
The servant counseled: "Master, don't be angry. The son is a little more playful. Isn't it because he is younger? After two years of age, he will naturally become more stable. Besides, the son is playing outside, and he didn't provoke anything. Isn't it a catastrophe?"
"It's too late to cause a catastrophe! Others didn't touch him because of my face. My identity is not noble, but no one in Manchu knows my most precious son? Now my identity change is coveted. I'm afraid that people who didn't dare to touch him before, now they want to take the initiative to look for him!"
The subordinate was stunned, "Master is now a cabinet veteran, a first-grade senior, who else would dare to play with the son?"
Old Chen Ge sighed, "I'm not the only one of the first-rank princes and the princes of the same grade. Hurry up, send more people to get the prince back!"
The servant immediately bowed, "Yes, the minion will order someone to find it!"
There are many racecourses on the outskirts, some for civilian use and some for official use. If there are royal family members among the sons who travel together, they may also be in the royal racecourse.
The subordinates of the Chen Mansion went to various racecourses to look for Chen Chuxiu, and the people who reported that they had not seen Chen Chuxiu.
Old Chen Ge was anxious, and at first he thought of waiting for Chen Chuxiu to come back to beat him, so that he would not dare to leave the house at will these days, and now he only cares about whether he is well.
He has only such a son in his life, and he must not fall into the hands of a villain!
Just as it was getting dark, there was a whistling sound from outside the gate. Chen Chuxiu slid in with his shirt in his hand and swaggered in from outside the house.
As soon as I walked in, I saw a grand teacher's chair placed in the middle of the empty courtyard, and Mr. Chen Ge was sitting upright on it.
No, this is a posture to beat the son!
When Chen Chuxiu saw a bad situation, he was going to run away, and he heard a loud shout from behind, "Come back!"
If you can run, the monk can't run to the temple. He is angry at all times. Now he can let the old man vent his anger, so as not to anger his body.
Old Chen Ge walked over with his hands behind his back, "Where did you go?"
"Go to Ningxuan Mansion and visit the Princess Xikun."
"How many times have I told you, don't call him by name directly! That is the royal family clan of your majesty's generation, and all the princes and princesses will call you cousins, are you not big or young?"
Old Chen Ge blew his beard, "You are in a good relationship, so let's call it down privately. Why did you tell the people in the mansion that the little sons of the Gonghou family went to race horses? Do you know that for your father, you have searched for the racetracks on the outskirts of the city? , Just dig three feet!"
Chen Chuxiu said, "Originally, I was going to race horses. Who knows that the fifth member of Uncle Weiyuan's family, the slug named slug, knocked over other people's oil-seller's oil barrel on the road without equestrian skills. Two barrels. Oil is not a big deal. Damn that slug doesn't pay for the money, and the blame is blocking his way. The boy didn't play with this kind of villain, and simply turned around and went to Ning Xuan Mansion."
It turns out that there is still such an accident.
When Chen Gelao saw him coming back safely, half of his anger had disappeared in his heart. Seeing that his son had a clear distinction between good and evil, the remaining half of his anger had almost disappeared.
He asked: "You just left like that?"
Chen Chuxiu said: "No, before I left, I gave the oil seller a silver coin, which was considered a compensation for his gas. I also asked him to clean up the oil on the ground to prevent others from riding a horse and slipping and hurting their feet. By the way..."
"By the way?"
Chen Chuxiu laughed dryly, and by the way scolded the fifth son of Weiyuan Bo's family about this kind of thing, and still don't tell his father, lest his father's anger that he finally died down will be reproduced.
"It's nothing, by the way, I bought the cakes from Yushanlou, my wife's favorite, and then I went to visit him and his wife!"
Hearing that he hadn’t caused any trouble, Chen Ge’s expression relaxed, “You’re still sensible. My father doesn’t want you to mix with those dudes, just because I’m afraid you will learn bad things from them. not worried."
He took out his hand behind his back, Chen Chuxiu's eyelids jumped, and he drew back subconsciously. After a closer look, he found that he was empty in his hands, without a board or a whip.
"Father, you scared me to death, I thought you were going to hit me!"
"Are you still afraid of being beaten?!"
Old Chen Ge raised his voice and thought for a while, his tone eased, "Hungry after going out for a day, right? Go eat first, and after eating, I have something to say to my father."
Chen Chuxiu took his arm affectionately, "Yes, I will help you in for dinner!"
The troublemaker, the bastard, has a first-rate ability to cause trouble outside, and it's not bad to go home and act like a coquettish to please your children.
Old Chen Ge didn't say anything, but was sweet in his heart. As soon as he walked along and asked him what he had seen and heard when he went to Ningtang Uncle's Mansion, Chen Chuxiu answered one by one.
Chen Ge said: "When you make friends, you should make good teachers and helpful friends. I used to be a father and I was afraid that you would cause trouble. I told you not to get too close to him. One is that he is a royal family member and his father’s status as an old uncle. If you provoke him, Father can't keep you. Secondly, he married Princess Xikun, his identity is more sensitive, and he is afraid of you causing trouble for his father."
"But these days, it seems that the Xikun princess is very knowledgeable. After Ning Xuan got married, she took an errand in the court and became more stable. It seems that he used to be sloppy in the past, but he doesn't want to be serious. Friends, you can still keep in touch."
Chen Chuxiu didn't lift his head either, "Yes, yes, I have been learning from him! Dad, watch out for steps—"
After a meal, Chen Ge thought for a long time whether to tell Chen Chuxiu about the situation in the court.
Tell him that his children may not be able to understand it, so it would be bad to spread it out. If you don't tell him, with his arbitrary disposition, I'm afraid he won't be obedient.
After weighing for a long time, Chen Ge planned to hide half and reveal half, "Xiu'er, there is a change in the current position of the father for the father. This change is seen by others as a grace, but it will also attract some people's jealousy. Daddy knows you listen. I don’t understand, it’s okay. Dad just wants to tell you that you'd better not go out these days and stay in the house obediently..."
"Father is trying to say that someone who doesn't want a cabinet to be established will start with you, who has the most hope to become the richest man, and find Daddy's weakness from the child, right?"
Old Chen Ge was taken aback. He didn't expect his stubborn son to understand so thoroughly.
How could he know these things about North Korea
Chen Chuxiu put down his chopsticks and looked at him with a smile, "Father, your reaction is too slow. The person you are worried about has already done something to the child."
