Chapter 1053 Rumors
,
Zhulan signaled the girl to go down, and then said with emotion: "Da Fang already has four sons, little grandson, what name do you plan to take?"
The Zhou family has so many grandchildren, and they are all direct grandchildren, which is enviable and burdensome!
Zhou Shuren sat on the edge of the kang, "You take it."
Zhulan is a little worried. She has many grandchildren, so it is difficult to choose a name. She really doesn't know how to choose a name. "Mingjing, what do you think?"
Zhou Shuren pulled the quilt and lay down, "It's fine, go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow."
Zhulan also lay down, she really couldn't sleep, the rainy days are especially suitable for sleeping these days, and she slept a lot, "You said the emperor's actions today, will the princes realize the reality and be honest?"
Zhou Shuren thought of King Chu's laughter, "I'm not sure, but you didn't hear the sourness in King Chu's laughter today. It's because my father didn't give me a chance, so I can't help it."
Zhulan envied Zhou Shuren, "If I were a man, I would be able to watch the live version up close. This is much more exciting than watching various costume dramas."
Zhou Shuren turned sideways, "You are a man, so am I not a woman?"
Zhulan's face was full of regret, "That's why I was wearing the wrong clothes at the time. I wish I were a man."
Then he laughed, Zhou Shuren socialized with a bunch of women, just thinking about it makes him happy!
Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes, "You can figure it out, sleep, sleep."
Zhulan snickered and pulled the quilt over, feeling sleepy suddenly, she held her husband's hand and closed her eyes.
The next day, Zhou Shuren stayed after his court? This time he was kept by the crown prince. When he came out of the side hall, Zhou Shuren saw Mr. Chen? Mr. Chen didn’t go to the morning court today? Come out, Mr. Chen entered the palace to see the emperor.
When Old Master Chen saw Zhou Shuren, he smiled. "Master Zhou is leaving the palace?"
After seeing the ceremony, Zhou Shuren said, "Yes."
Mr. Chen stretched out his hand? "It's just that we are going out of the palace together, Mr. Zhou please."
Zhou Shuren took a step back, "Mr. Chen please first."
The two walked for a while? The little father-in-law by my side disappeared? Did old man Chen speak? "When I get old, I yearn for the countryside to find my true self? Master Zhou will come and walk around more in the future? The old man is waiting for you in Zhuangzi."
Zhou Shuren almost fell down? He turned his head sharply, "What do you mean by old age?"
Mr. Chen's eyes are full of smiles,
Touching his long white beard, "The old man has retired. Are our villages not far away? Let's go fishing together in our spare time."
The shock in Zhou Shuren's heart was great? King Qi's biggest backer has retired by himself? Look at his expression and energy? The old man is obviously very happy. This open-mindedness is truly invincible.
The old man walked with his hands behind his back? "There's nothing to admire. It's all about success and failure. The old man is just more greedy for life and afraid of death."
Zhou Shuren's heart is very complicated. The mother clan of these princes, except for the prince's mother clan, has always kept things low-key, and only the Chen clan survived. Yesterday the emperor sent a signal, and the old man came today. This is true. A smart person, who knows how to advance and retreat, and protects the family, Zhou Shuren bowed deeply, "My lord has taught me a lesson for the lower officials, and the lower officials are grateful."
Mr. Chen squinted his eyes, so talking to smart people is easy, "I've been calculating all my life, and I just want to make a good relationship when I'm old."
He used his whole life to teach Zhou Shuren that it is wise to retire when it is time to retire.
Zhou Shuren, "My lord, please."
Mr. Chen just feels relaxed. After today, he can unload all the burdens. In troubled times, he sincerely said that his father joined Mingjun for his family. His father died before the dynasty was established.
After the establishment of the dynasty, he fought for the family, and the journey was full of wind and rain. Now he has managed to secure the continuation of the Chen family. He is worthy of the family and his grandson.
Mr. Chen strode forward, laughing loudly, "Master Zhou, this old man will take a step ahead."
Zhou Shuren stood still, watching the old man leave, and then smiled, he will do better than old Chen.
In the government hall, the emperor and the crown prince sat facing each other. When there were only father and son in the hall, the emperor said: "Let's be like this for the Chen family."
The prince felt a little reconciled in his heart, scolding Mr. Chen, an old fox, there are so many ways to retreat. Among the top aristocratic families, only the Chen family is left. He had to admire, "Yes."
The emperor continued: "In the days to come, officials occupying important positions in the Chen clan will retire one after another, and you can install them now."
The crown prince was stunned for a moment. The Chen family actually backed down so much. Not everyone can have such pressure. This directly weakened King Qi's power. The crown prince looked at his father, who agreed to this deal not for the Chen family. The whole family is especially for King Qi. These years, King Qi has been doing small tricks, because there is old Chen suppressing him, there is no major fault, and the credit is even greater.
The crown prince's heart moved. The younger brothers are in the father's heart, and Qi Wang's position is more important, and the father's behavior is also a father's love. This time, I also want to use the Chen family to make him have a tolerant heart, " My son understands."
The emperor drank tea, he hoped that his elder son would really be tolerant, this was also his selfishness.
In the Zhou family, Zhulan is holding a letter from Xuzhou. The matter in the capital has already reached Xuzhou early. This is a letter from the third child, Kuaima.
Xuehan sat beside her mother, "Mother, Kaesong, the capital city, you didn't write to your second brother?"
Zhulan had already opened the letter, "I'm afraid your third brother will be worried, so I will send it when I open the city gate."
Looking at the letter after speaking, the whole letter was full of worries of the third child, and at the end, Zhulan's expression was not very good, "You also have a look."
Xuehan took it over and looked at it carefully, "There are even rumors that the Zhou family was wiped out."
Zhulan snorted, "Fortunately, your third brother has the brains to not fall into the trap, otherwise we don't know what happened on the way back."
Xuehan put down the letter in her hand, and was afraid for a while, "Mother, first two groups of killers, and then rumors spread to the third brother's ears, this is to destroy our family."
Zhulan's face was extremely cold, "It's a good plan, very good."
Don't worry about Xuehan now, the joy of the birth of her little nephew is gone.
Xuzhou, this is also a coincidence. The capital received a letter from Xuzhou, and Xuzhou also received a letter from the capital. Mrs. Dong was worried that she would not be able to eat and sleep well these days. His eyes were a little dark, and he took a while to quickly get the letter. Seeing the first sentence, everything at home is safe, he let out a sigh of relief, and muttered, "It's fine, it's fine."
Then he came to his senses and called out to the boy, "Go and tell the master that everything is fine in the capital and everyone in the family is safe."
After hearing this, the boy ran away swiftly, and the sad face of the girl and mother-in-law also had a smile on her face. They were all afraid that something really happened in the capital!
Mrs. Dong continued to look at the letter. The letter mentioned the danger, the handling of future generations, and some things that happened in the capital. Mrs. Dong was dumbfounded. In just a few days, so many things happened in the capital, and there were still some After killing the family, Dong was terrified.
Chang Lian got the letter, his tense heart was finally loosened, he got up happily and walked back and forth, then he thought in his eyes, ah, the rumors of exterminating the family were aimed at him, fortunately his father told him over and over again, don't hear any hearsay, seeing is believing.
