Chapter 362 Who is important to the emperor and his wife
Eunuch An entered the inner hall of the imperial study and walked to the emperor's side.
"Your Majesty, General Zhongzhongyong is here, saying that he is here to restore his life."
When Mr. An said this, his eyes swept over Wu Jiang's body, and his eyes were somewhat profound.
The emperor raised his hand to straighten his wide cuffs and glanced at Wu Jiang's body.
"Oh, but isn't this lieutenant here sent by General Zhongyong to revive him?"
When Wu Jiang heard the emperor's question, he immediately clasped his fists and prepared to defend himself, but the emperor ignored him.
"Go and summon General Zhongyong in."
"Yes!" Eunuch An waved his floating dust and walked towards the outside of the Imperial Study Room.
"The emperor has decreed that General Zhongyong enters the palace." An Gonggong sang loudly, and Cheng Hanyan arranged his clothes, took off the weapons from his waist, and entered the palace wearing armor.
The emperor was a little stunned when he saw Cheng Hanyan's heroic appearance. He looked very much like him.
If she were a woman, she would really think that Concubine Chun was still alive.
"General Zhongyong is also here to return his mission? You didn't send your deputy Wu here, why did you have to go there yourself again?"
The emperor quickly came to his senses and remembered the business, so he asked.
After the emperor asked the question, Wu Jiang showed an embarrassed smile and took the lead in knocking him down.
"Yes, General Cheng, didn't you already ask me to come and restore the emperor's life? Why do you have to go there in person again? Is it possible that you are worried?"
When Cheng Hanyan heard what Deputy General Wu said, he didn't feel offended by him at that time. He just greeted him with a warm smile.
"Vice General Wu was overthinking it. It was the envoy from Beimang who asked me to bring a message to the emperor. Vice General Wu entered the palace in a hurry. The envoy from Beimang said that he had called you for a long time but didn't stop you, so he had to let me go again.
.”
As soon as Cheng Hanyan said these words, he was slandering Vice General Wu in disguise for neglecting the Beimang envoy.
The smile on Lieutenant General Wu's face became more and more hypocritical, and he was about to say a few words to defend himself.
The emperor had already stretched out his hand and waved it in the air, telling them both to shut their mouths.
This was the imperial study room, not the vegetable market, and they were arguing with each other in front of him.
"Okay! Now that General Zhongyong is here, Lieutenant General Wu, please go back first."
The emperor was obviously unwilling to listen to what Vice General Wu had to say and immediately asked him to step down.
Vice General Wu had no choice but to give in. Before leaving, he glared at Cheng Hanyan fiercely.
"Wei Chen resigns!"
The emperor did not answer, but waved his hand to ask him to leave quickly.
After Vice General Wu left, Cheng Hanyan first reported to the emperor in a serious manner how to arrange the Beimang envoy and Princess Nalis and which post they would arrange for.
Of course, he also complained to the emperor, saying that he had left the team escorting the Beimang envoy midway after entering Beijing.
The reason was that when he took the imperial order to leave the capital, he forgot to explain to his wife who had just entered the capital from the countryside of Xianping County that day.
And his wife was now pregnant with Liujia, and brought a five or six-year-old child with her. She was orphaned and widowed and had just arrived in the capital for the first time. Before he had time to entertain and make arrangements, he left the mother and child in the general's mansion.
He didn't tell him where he went, which made his wife worried for nothing.
So today I heard in the tea house that he escorted the envoy from Beimang back, and also heard the people's opinions that he was going to be sent to Beimang to be the prince's consort.
Their wife was heartbroken and almost fell ill. The baby in her belly was only five months old. If an accident happened, he would really regret it.
That's why he hurriedly brought his wife home to comfort her, regardless of the emperor's orders.
Now I am returning to the imperial city to return my life. Firstly, I am returning my life, and secondly, I am coming to plead guilty to the emperor.
The emperor heard that Cheng Hanyan was sleeping in the capital and left the team guarding the Beimang envoy, but he had made arrangements in advance for Wujiang to send the Beimang envoy and Princess Naris to the post house.
After returning home, he also went to the post house to take a closer look at the residence of the Beimang envoy and Princess Nalis, and made proper arrangements.
This move can be regarded as making up for the mistake, but leaving the team without permission is a serious crime.
The emperor was still a little unhappy after all, but when he heard that Cheng Hanyan's wife was more than five months pregnant with Liujia, he couldn't help but think of Concubine Chun who was buried in the fire with the child.
Sad emotions surged into my heart for a moment, and some people could understand Han Yan's actions.
"In your heart, which is more important, the emperor's life or your wife?"
The emperor's words may seem like a casual question, but they actually contain a hidden secret.
Cheng Hanyan is neither humble nor arrogant, and speaks the truth without hiding anything.
"Back to the emperor, I don't want to lie. In my heart, my wife is worth more than anything else, even the life of a tiny dust. Although the emperor's life is greater than the sky, it cannot be compared with my wife."
Eunuch An was a little anxious after hearing what he said, and the emperor's face gradually darkened.
"Okay! A good saying. Although the emperor's destiny is greater than the sky, it cannot be compared with your wife."
Listening to the emperor's words of anger or admiration, Eunuch An was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. I have no great ambitions. I am willing to serve as an official in the court just to protect my wife so that she will not be bullied by the powerful. If I were wearing this official uniform, not only would it not be able to protect her, but I would also
If she is frightened, I would rather not be an official."
The emperor was naturally very angry after hearing what he said.
He never expected that the minister he valued so much was actually a person who only cared about a small family and not a big family.
I was really disappointed with him for a while.
"That being the case, if you don't take off this official title, you don't have to be a general anymore."
The emperor was also very angry when he said this. He originally thought that he had found a capable general, but in the end he wanted to rely on him to check and balance with Prime Minister Jiang.
Now it seems that he is so unreliable. He only cares about his small family and does not have a big country in mind. His eyesight is really short-sighted.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. General Cheng may not mean what you think. General Cheng is a man who values affection and righteousness. There are rumors that when General Cheng entered the military camp, his wife was afraid that the generals would not have enough food and grass, so she donated a lot of
forage."
"It can be seen from this that both of them are people who have the righteousness of their family and country in their hearts. However, if you want to compare carefully, people will be divided into distance and distance. As for General Cheng, Mrs. Cheng accompanied the general all the way here. General Cheng
He must not want to let his wife down."
"It doesn't mean that General Cheng has no country in his heart. If General Ruocheng is really that kind of person, why would he rather stay in jail and fight with the Southern Barbarians so that our country can really win such a victory and let the people live and work in peace and contentment?"
Eunuch An immediately stood up to speak for Cheng Hanyan, hoping that the emperor would calm down and not blame Cheng Hanyan for his inappropriate behavior.
"According to what you said, Cheng Hanyan is still a caring and righteous person who has the righteousness of his family and country in his heart."
"Your Majesty, if you think about it carefully, if General Chen has no country or dynasty in his heart, he can buy an official position."
