Chapter 336 Another invitation
Li Wuling’s army, staff general!
All the ministers were shocked. The emperor was not going to punish Chen Changan at all. It was clearly giving him too much military power!
Cheng Qinghe didn't want to see Chen Changan rise to prominence, so he clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is absolutely impossible!"
"Chen Changan is still young, how can he subdue those arrogant and fierce generals?"
"If Your Majesty wants to give it, it would be better to reward it to Lu Fengsheng. Please make the decision, Your Majesty!"
"Oh?" The emperor had made up his mind and sneered, "Where were you when Chen Changan led his people to attack the Red Flower Society and fought a bloody battle at Blue Moon Lake?"
"Besides, I sent Chen Changan to serve as the general of the staff because I thought that once the war with Xixia breaks out, Chen Changan can lead the troops and die on the battlefield. This is the best punishment for him!"
"Anyone who dares to resist my will will be deprived of his salary and sent back home!"
With just one sentence, the way for people to give advice is blocked!
Cheng Qinghe was trembling all over and dared not say anything more. The emperor pointed at Chen Changan on the ground and said, "Eunuch Jing, bring Chen Changan to the back hall. I have something to tell him in person!"
"Everyone else please go back. Today's matter is over. Let's adjourn the court!"
The emperor walked towards the back hall. Eunuch Jing could only nod to everyone and order the golden armor guards to bring Chen Changan into the back hall.
Chen Changan's hood was taken off, and he saw the emperor drinking tea there.
Chen Changan was speechless: "Your Majesty, you can't play me like this, right?"
"Master Chen, what are you talking about?"
Eunuch Jing quickly explained: "During the days when you were locked up in the prison, not only Luo Zhuyu was going crazy, but Liu Ruge was also very worried about your life or death!"
"They came up with different plans. Luo Zhuyu went to rescue you, and Liu Ruge asked to see the emperor!"
"She said that as long as you were rescued, she would be willing to marry someone from another country for the royal family. That's why the emperor named her Princess Changjin and told you that you can't participate in the selection of a royal consort!"
"You took the initiative to ask to participate. How can you blame the emperor?"
"What the hell..."
Chen Changan was so anxious that he wanted to swear, and the emperor frowned.
Chen Changan kept his words to himself and said, "How should I know all this? No one told me!"
The emperor put down his teacup and snorted, "Your marriage with *** was arranged by me personally, so how can I allow you to be so presumptuous?"
"Today you have disrupted the marriage-seeking activities of envoys from various countries. I have appointed you as a general of the staff to guard against possible changes in Western Xia. Are you convinced?"
Chen Changan grinned: "I... surrender, Your Majesty, you are the sky of the Great Chu, I can't beat you!"
The emperor was obviously very pleased and told the Golden Armor Guards to untie Chen Chang'an.
"Since you and Princess Changjin are on good terms, and you ruined the marriage, I will adopt Liu Ruge as my adopted daughter."
"Yao married his daughters Ehuang and Nvying to Shun. It is not wrong for me to follow the example of the ancient sages."
"Chen Changan, play your role as a staff general well and don't let me down!"
Chen Changan nodded blankly. These were all easy to deal with.
But Liu Ruge is a jealous person. If this guy gets angry, how can Chen Changan coax her?
"Princess Changjin, you don't need to worry. I will enlighten her."
The emperor shook his head and sighed: "After I appoint you as a general, many people will try to win you over. You must be careful and cautious, and don't take the initiative to cause trouble."
"Remember you promised *** to wipe out King Jing'an... This matter has been delayed for too long."
Chen Changan moved his lips and left the palace with a heavy heart.
He had no intention of exterminating Prince Jing'an. He only thought that the emperor was really ruthless. How could he have thought that the victim was not Xiang Liuli, but Princess Changjin?
Oh, what a headache!
After Chen Changan returned to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion, he locked himself in his room and slept soundly.
When he woke up, it was already dark.
Old Ma pushed the door open and walked in, holding a gold-edged invitation in his hand: "Master, get up and work."
"Tsk tsk, I've received many invitations, from Prince Jing'an, the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Justice, all of them invite you to a banquet, now you'll have something to do."
The emperor had already said that many people would try to win over Chen Changan, so he was not surprised.
As they were looking at the invitations, Sun Jingyi walked in and said, "Brother, there's a Xixia man outside the door. He said he's here to give you a BMW horse."
Chen Changan then remembered that the two Ferghana horses that Chi Shi had promised to give him had not yet been delivered.
Chen Changan brought Lao Ma to the door and saw two BMWs at first sight.
The red horse was like a ball of burning fire, with a strong body and muscle lines as clear as sculptures, and every muscle contained infinite power.
The red mane fluttered freely in the wind, and the eyes were like burning charcoal, bright and sharp, revealing a fearless and domineering aura.
The white one is no less impressive, with its white mane falling softly on both sides of the neck like delicate silk.
Her eyes are as clear as water, like a light snowflake dancing in the air, giving people a transcendental feeling.
The guard holding the arrow saw Chen Changan and clasped his fists respectfully: "Sir Chen, my prince said that he would definitely do what he promised you. He asked me to send you a BMW."
"This red warhorse is named Chixiao, which means sky and lofty. The white horse is called Yushuang. They are both exclusive warhorses of the Xixia royal family."
The old horse liked the two war horses very much, and nodded and said, "Chixiao is okay, he has the spirit to gallop on the battlefield. Yushuang...tsk tsk, she might as well be called a little girl, she is so soft and has no strength."
Chen Changan laughed loudly: "Old Ma, I'll give you that little girl as your mount."
Old Ma smiled and naturally couldn't refuse.
Although the horse's name is not very good, it is indeed a good horse. We rely on it to fight on the battlefield.
When the guard holding the arrow saw Chen Changan taking the horse, he took out a note from his arms with a smile: "Our Prince Holding the Arrow said that in order to let Lord Chen appreciate the speed of the warhorse, he specially held a traditional Nadam Festival in the suburbs tomorrow."
"There will be a bonfire and horse racing. I beg you, Master Chen, to come and enjoy the show."
Chen Changan was now in a state of headache.
Prince Jing'an will ask him to go over tomorrow, and there will be many other adults, plus this Prince Holding the Arrow, so it will be a bit difficult to handle them all.
"Well, well... Well, I can only arrange the time. I can't guarantee whether I can go and have fun with Prince Chishi."
The arrow-wielding guard was about to speak when a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Master Chen, Park Baoying came to your house without permission. I hope you can forgive me."
Park Bo-young walked in. She had a pair of eyes as bright as black gemstones, and her long eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings, making her look lively and playful.
Those eyes sometimes sparkle with curiosity, as innocent as a child; sometimes they reveal a gentle smile that can instantly melt people's hearts.
She was wearing a simple light blue dress with the hem of her skirt fluttering slightly.
She wore a thin white belt around her waist, which perfectly outlined her slender waist.
Chen Changan smiled and said, "Doctor Park, what are you doing here? Has Park Chung-hee agreed to my terms?"
"That's not the case. This is a serious matter and our prince still needs to consider it."
Park Baoying took the visiting card and handed it to Chen Changan: "Tomorrow evening, our prince will be at Jiangbin Lake, waiting for Master Chen."
Well, I’m here to deliver invitations again!
