Chapter 45 Undercurrent
"Ignorous woman, I send Yu Qiao into the palace. You can think of such a trick?! Where do you put me? Where do you put the emperor? If it weren't for Yong'er's sake, I'll give you up immediately!"
Mrs. Chen was beaten and was also scolded by Chen Zizhuang. She didn't understand, wasn't it just for the emperor's woman? How could it be so serious? And, wasn't it your tacit approval?
"Chen Zhong!" Chen Zizhuang's anger was not gone, and he didn't give his wife a chance to speak, so he shouted outside the door.
"I'm here!" Chen Zhong ran in quickly.
"Send your wife to the Buddhist temple and let her reflect on her. If I don't have me, she will not be allowed to come out. In addition, from tomorrow, Yu Qiao will be in charge of the inner house." Chen Zizhuang ordered.
His words are the highest order in the Chen Mansion. No one dares to object, even his own wife cannot do it.
"Yes." Chen Zhong agreed, turned around and bowed to Mrs. Chen: "Madam, please."
"Master, don't, please spare me for Yong'er..." Mrs. Chen realized how heavy the mistake she made was, so she knelt down and cried.
"Reflect on it carefully, when will it be better to reflect on it, and when will it come out?" Chen Zizhuang waved his hand in disgust.
...
"Chen Zhong, check it out, who gave the wife the idea?" Chen Zhong returned to the upper room and Chen Zizhuang immediately ordered.
"yes."
"Catch Hao'er and wait for me in the study."
"yes."
Chen Zhong went down, Chen Zizhuang thought for a while, got up and came to Zhao Yuqiao's room.
"Yu Qiao, I'll put my wife in the Buddhist temple. From tomorrow on, you will be the head of the inner house."
"Master, this... isn't this good? How dare I behave?" Zhao Yuqiao said in panic.
"It's not for you, but for this family. If you have a good relationship with Alan, you can go to the palace to accompany her frequently, so don't get along with her." Chen Zizhuang ordered.
"Yes, Master, I will enter the palace tomorrow and tell Alan what the master is doing. When things get stable, please let the wife out." Zhao Yuqiao was very smart and knew what Chen Zizhuang meant, so he quickly answered.
"Well, that's it." Chen Zizhuang saw Zhao Yuqiao so well, nodded in satisfaction, and turned to the study.
Sitting in the study, Chen Zizhuang felt a little scared.
Mrs. Chen asked Zhao Yuqiao to enter the palace. Although she didn't know who instigated her, she was acquiesced to it. He had two considerations for doing this.
First, he saw that the emperor's attitude towards Zhao Yuqiao was different from others. The look that made people confused, as if familiar, and seemed to appreciate it very much. He thought that the young man admired Ai and was extremely normal to be greedy for beauty. Isn't he just a concubine? It would be given to the emperor. If Zhao Yuqiao gets favored in the future, he will be considered as a guarantee.
Second, he was afraid of someone, that was Chen Jitai.
Chen Jitai held heavy troops in his hand. If he returned to Guangzhou, it would be a considerable force. The Zhang family's father and son plus Chen Shihao's soldiers were less than 5,000, which was not enough to compete with Chen Jitai.
Moreover, if others don’t know, Chen Zizhuang knows that Chen Jitai is ambitious and will definitely not be willing to surrender to him.
What’s funny is that this man is very ambitious and talented, and is too anxious. Before he can make any achievements, he talked to the emperor to open the price. From the moment the emperor saw the disgust he showed when he saw his question book, he could tell how stupid Chen Jitai was.
However, no matter how stupid he is, he has 15,000 troops in his hands. If he continues to go to the fore, he will definitely trample everyone under his feet. The emperor will definitely follow his request because he is concerned about his power.
For the above two reasons, he acquiesced to his wife's behavior.
However, what the emperor said today made him confused again. The emperor looked at Zhao Yuqiao with a special look. Could it be that he was not greedy for her beauty?
Even the words of the Emperor Yu Fuyong came out. This is not as simple as lustful.
Well, from this matter, we can see that the emperor is definitely a wise ruler, a wise ruler with great talent. Looking through history books, no lewd emperor has a good ending. Only an unlucky emperor, who is strict with the law and maintains the rules, can achieve a great cause.
The emperor's warning came out and he also made a statement. In addition, Yu Qiao was dealing with it, so this level should have been passed.
However, Chen Jitai's hidden thunder must be eliminated. If he succeeds, he will probably die without a place to bury him.
He remembered the emperor's actions of putting the question book he had quietly put into his sleeve, and was afraid and regretful: "The emperor is too smart, and his little braid is silently held in his hand. He really shouldn't be extravagant, just report the matter clearly. Why do you have to express your opinions on your disposal?"
...
"Master, the young master is here." Chen Zhong's report interrupted Chen Zizhuang's thoughts.
"Haoer is here? Come in quickly." Chen Zizhuang ordered.
"Uncle, are you looking for me?" Chen Shihao came in and asked.
"Well, Hao'er, you sit first." Chen Zizhuang asked Chen Shihao to sit down, and then asked Chen Zhong: "Chen Zhong, have you found out?"
"Master, Mr. Pan's wife came into the mansion yesterday. According to his maid, Mrs. Pan talked about the inner house with her wife." Chen Zhong said.
"Pan Duoshou?" Hearing this name, Chen Zizhuang frowned and thought to himself: "Does he want to make trouble? Or was he instructed by Chen Jitai?"
Pan Duoshou was the Minister of Personnel of the Shaowu Dynasty and was the relatives of Chen Jitai.
Chen Zizhuang pondered for a while and asked Chen Shihao: "Haoer, Ximen, you are guarding the South Gate?"
"It's my nephew's soldiers who are guarding it."
"Okay. Now you are assisting Lord Chen in charge of the city's security. You must closely monitor Chen Jitai and Pan Duoshou's mansions to see what they have to do. In addition, the city gate is the most important, and you must strictly prevent villains from causing trouble."
"Uncle, Lord Chen has ordered Chen Jitai's mansion to be monitored, and his every move cannot be hidden from my eyes. Since my uncle is determined, my nephew will send some more people to monitor Pan's mansion. In addition, the city gate is strictly guarded, so you are allowed to enter and not leave."
"Oh, since Lord Chen has made arrangements, then forget it. Is there anything abnormal about Chen's mansion?"
"Yesterday, a personal soldier of Chen Jitai disguised himself as a commoner and entered the city and went straight into the Chen Mansion. He never came out again. As for what he had talked about, his nephew didn't know."
"The whereabouts are sneaky, and designation is not an open and upright thing," said Chen Zizhuang.
"Yes, my nephew understands that he must not slacken off." Chen Shihao bowed and agreed.
"Go back, follow Lord Chen's arrangements."
"Yes, my nephew took his leave."
