Time flies, Chen Shaojun did not wait long, and soon a well-established eunuch in brocade clothes with white temples came over.
"Your Majesty, please come with me."
"Then it's my father-in-law."
Chen Shaojun bowed and said.
After returning and entering the East Palace again, Chen Shaojun's feelings were completely different from before.
This time, Chen Shaojun did not enter the depths of the East Palace. A wide curtain fell down where the Crown Prince was, dividing the Crown Prince's East Palace into two halves, the front and rear.
It was the front hall of the Prince's East Palace where Chen Shaojun was summoned.
As soon as he stepped in, Chen Shaojun had a completely different feeling. When he raised his head, the first thing Chen Shaojun saw was rows of tall and burly emperor guards wearing golden armor, who were like gods. These people were wearing strong and sharp weapons.
They stood motionless like statues, and inside their bodies, Chen Shaojun felt vast and endless energy.
These days, the emperor's imperial guards put an extremely heavy pressure on people.
Chen Shaojun quickly withdrew his gaze and looked elsewhere.
In the front hall, there were obviously many unfamiliar faces. These people were still wearing court clothes. Some people's clothes were embroidered with unicorns and unicorns, while others were embroidered with imperial birds and cranes. They were obviously of very high status.
"These are all important civil and military ministers in the imperial court, and I am afraid there are also generals who command millions of troops in the border areas."
Chen Shaojun said secretly in his heart.
The Great Shang Dynasty was very hierarchical. At any other time, it would have been good for Chen Shaojun to be able to see their sedan chairs from a distance. But now, these people were all gathered together. When Chen Shaojun looked at the people in the hall, those in the court were
The civil and military ministers also looked at Chen Shaojun, their eyes full of surprise, but everyone just stared, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Just for a moment, with the sound of footsteps, the golden curtain opened, and the Prince's Third Division and other important officials of the imperial court slowly walked out from behind surrounded by a figure.
"Buzz!"
The figure hadn't appeared yet, and Chen Shaojun felt his whole body tense up, as if a heavy mountain was suddenly pressing down on him, making him unable to move. Not only that, a huge coercion was boundless, as vast as a sea of smoke, and suddenly enveloped the entire hall.
Even though the other party had tried his best to restrain himself, the mere trace of aura he revealed had already made Chen Shaojun feel like he was walking on thin ice, and even breathing became difficult.
Great businessman emperor!
Chen Shaojun's heart trembled, and he immediately understood that the person coming was the legendary Emperor of the Great Shang.
The martial arts of the Great Shang Dynasty flourished, and there were thousands of warriors, but the one in front of me was the strongest in the entire Great Shang Dynasty.
With Chen Shaojun's Qi Yu realm cultivation, he is too insignificant in front of this great merchant emperor who is comparable to ghosts and gods. Chen Shaojun even feels like a small boat in a violent storm, and he will be overwhelmed by the pressure emanating from this great merchant emperor at any time.
Crush.
"Chen Jun, why don't you kneel down when you see His Majesty!"
At this moment, a familiar voice came into my ears and reminded me.
Chen Shaojun's heart trembled, and he immediately understood that it was the Crown Prince and the Young Master who was trying to remind him.
Chen Shaojun quickly knelt down and bowed to salute, but at the moment when he knelt down, Chen Shaojun's eyes swept across the ground and his heart skipped a beat.
Just a few feet away, Chen Shaojun saw a piece of dragon robe. However, at this moment, Chen Shaojun suddenly discovered that the feet of the great merchant emperor were actually suspended in the air.
Not only that, there were strands of golden auspicious clouds under his feet, filling the ground, and in the auspicious clouds, Chen Shaojun suddenly saw a nine-clawed dragon that was as majestic as a prison and lifelike, looming and coiling out.
The nine-clawed true dragon's head was hidden in the golden emperor's robe, and only a section of the dragon's claws and tail were coiled outside, and it was still squirming and entangled around the Emperor Shang.
True dragon destiny!
In the flash of lightning, a thought flashed through Chen Shaojun's mind.
It is rumored that the entire Dashang royal family possesses extremely powerful natural crowns related to dragons, but only the Dashang Emperor has a unique true dragon destiny.
Having this type of true dragon destiny is one that is blessed by destiny and luck. It is difficult to deal with even thunder disasters easily, and it also has the ability to move clouds and rain, and change the climate.
"Everyone get out!"
At this moment, a majestic, rich and noble voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and the great merchant emperor finally spoke.
When he spoke, even the void was buzzing and trembling, as if the emperor's words contained such great power that even heaven and earth had to obey his orders.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
A loud voice of great respect rang out soon, and all the important civil and military officials in the hall bowed, and then retreated out of the hall respectfully.
At the end, there was no one else in the entire outer hall of the East Palace except Chen Shaojun, the Prince's Third Master and the Great Merchant Emperor.
You could hear leaves falling throughout the hall, and it was eerily quiet.
In the dark, Chen Shaojun felt a pair of majestic eyes piercing through the cracked gold and stone, suddenly falling on him.
"I never thought that Chen Zongxi would have a son like you!"
A majestic voice came from above his head. It was just a simple sentence. Chen Shaojun was shocked and his expression changed instantly.
From the beginning to the end, from entering the palace to curing the crown prince, Chen Shaojun always said that his name was "Chen Jun" and never mentioned his identity.
However, Chen Shaojun did not expect that the Shang Emperor had just arrived here and revealed his origins and knew that he was the son of Chen Zongxi.
At that moment, Chen Shaojun felt cold all over his body. He felt that he was naked in that gaze, and there was no secret at all.
However, it only took a moment. Chen Shaojun took a deep breath and quickly came back to his senses.
The emperor's eyes and ears are spread all over the world, and there is a special secret spy organization affiliated with the emperor, which specializes in collecting all kinds of secret information. The Chen family is in the capital, and it may not be that easy to hide it from the great Shang emperor, and Chen Shaojun does not
I don't want to hide it.
"Your Majesty, forgive me. The common people have no choice but to do this."
Chen Shaojun was straightforward, did not deny it, and leaned down directly.
The hall was quiet, and even the Third Prince's Master looked as usual. Apparently, they had found out Chen Shaojun's true identity not long ago.
"You can cure Yi'er, I forgive you."
The great merchant emperor's voice was majestic and powerful, coming from above:
"Although you hid your true identity and should have been arrested and imprisoned, I have kept my word. Since you have cured the crown prince, I will reward you heavily. Tell me, what do you want?"
The voice was unmistakable.
hiss!
Chen Shaojun took a deep breath, his whole body suddenly became tense, and even his breathing became a little rough and turbid.
His eyes unconsciously glanced at the copper kettle dripper beside him, and he didn't have much time left.
No matter what, we must rescue my father and eldest brother.
Chen Shaojun gritted his teeth suddenly, paused and said:
"The common people do not need any reward. They only hope that your majesty can release my father Chen Zongxi and eldest brother Chen Zhengche."
Buzz!
As soon as Chen Shaojun finished speaking, the air in the hall suddenly became suffocated, and the atmosphere became extremely solemn.
"No!"
The Prince's Third Master on the side was secretly anxious, especially the Prince's Young Master, whose eyebrows were furrowed and full of worry.
The emperor's golden words are like a mountain of laws and regulations, each word of which is absolutely unchangeable.
Before that, when I read Chen Shaojun's information, I was worried about this. After all, Chen Shaojun is still too young. If he does this, I am afraid that not only will it be ineffective and he will not be able to save his father and elder brother, but it will do the opposite and attract the emperor's attention.
Displeased and even aggravated their crimes.
But just as this thought passed through my mind, the next moment, Chen Shaojun’s voice came into my ears again:
"Your Majesty, the common people entered the East Palace to treat the crown prince regardless of the risk, just to prove one thing. Our Chen family has absolutely no objections, and there has never been any collusion between my father, eldest brother, and the fourth prince. If not, the common people
There is no need to do anything extra.”
"Your Majesty's order is like a mountain. The common people dare not expect His Majesty to take back his life. They only hope that Your Majesty can send people to thoroughly investigate the matter again, so that those innocent people who have been implicated can be released, and the truly guilty people can be brought to justice."
At the end of the speech, Chen Shaojun knelt on the ground, motionless. It was so quiet all around that he couldn't even hear his breathing.
The Third Master of the Prince was stunned for a moment, then felt relieved. He looked at Chen Shaojun with a trace of deep appreciation in his eyes.
"This child is so smart. In time, he will become a great person! Chen Zongxi is proud to have a son like this!"
The prince and young master secretly thought in his heart.
There were twists and turns. He was originally worried that Chen Shaojun didn't know how to adapt and was too reckless, but as soon as these words came out, the nature of the whole thing was completely different.
It is impossible to disobey your Majesty's orders. It is impossible for Your Majesty to directly release Chen Zhengche and Chen Zongxi. However, it is completely different to send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly. In His Majesty's capacity, there is no reason not to agree.
What's more important is that this child has good intentions and is indeed a talent that can be made.
The prince Shaobao on the side also nodded imperceptibly.
There were too many people involved in the Four Princes Rebellion. In addition to the Chen family, there were also many aristocratic families, court officials, and even princes and princesses who were involved. A considerable number of these people were innocent.
Chen Shaojun wanted to save his father and elder brother, but only the Chen family benefited. If this matter is thoroughly investigated, countless people will be benefited. In the future, the Chen family and Chen Shaojun will definitely receive the greatest gratitude from the entire Shang Dynasty, which will be of great help to them in the future.
.
"Ashamed, only this kid can do it now."
Prince Shaobao said secretly in his heart.
It is not that everyone had not tried to persuade Emperor Shang before, but the Crown Prince was seriously injured and dying, and His Majesty was in a rage, so no one could do anything to persuade him. But now that the Crown Prince has recovered from his illness, and Chen Shaojun has done a great job, these words come from his mouth, and the weight is natural.
different.
"Okay, I allow you!"
The void fluctuated slightly, and just for a moment, the voice of the Great Shang Emperor soon sounded.
Looking at the young man in front of him, even the Emperor of the Great Shang Dynasty had a strange look in his eyes.
"However, I will never change what I have said. I will order people to thoroughly investigate the matter of the fourth prince. You have cured Yi'er, and you should be rewarded heavily. Come, give me the golden elixir of the emperor's way, and reward me with a silver silk dragon suit."
! In addition, your father has done meritorious service in educating his son. When this matter is concluded, he will be rewarded with a second grade of literary character."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After hearing the end, Chen Shaojun's eyes lit up.
My father is a man of liberal arts, and the Minister of Household Affairs is a third-rank official. Literary arts is not as good as martial arts, and there is no military merit to be established, so it is impossible to be promoted so quickly. In addition, liberal arts pays attention to seniority, hierarchy, and it is difficult to make rapid progress in learning.
Things are different, but with the style of Zheng Erpin, everything is completely different.
At least my father's status in literature and Taoism will be greatly improved, and he will not be easily squeezed out by Confucian scholars.
More importantly, literary styles are like official ranks in literary circles, which are recorded in the Confucian Temple's ancestral books.
With this thing, the entire Chen family will benefit.
