Chapter 900 [Battle of Kuangbei, the world is peaceful] 15
Mu Linfeng had already explained to Wang Zhizhen and others again that Princess Zhu Ma was unwilling to ascend the throne as the queen, and also agreed with Wang Zhizhen, Shi Kefa, and Hong Chengchou to completely reform the constitutional monarchy into a constitutional system. In other words, the world now has no emperor, and all major events in the world depend on the cabinet resolution. As long as the cabinet passes, things will basically be a foregone conclusion...
For this reason, Mu Linfeng also asked Joshua Tsang specifically for some Western countries if there were similar situations. Joshua Tsang gave Mu Linfeng many similar examples and also told them about the national conditions of those countries. At the same time, Joshua Tsang also told Mu Linfeng that there are more and more students in the school, and Wang Zhizhen has also allocated funds to start rebuilding the college. Joshua Tsang has also hired many new classrooms to teach, and the College of Linfeng has officially gotten on track.
In addition to the annoying war in the north, most of what Mu Linfeng heard was good news. Although Chen Zilong passed away, the students he taught could also stand alone, and continued to implement the policies planned by Mu Linfeng and Chen Zilong across the country, and continue to Chen Zilong's unfinished agricultural reform plan.
Under Mu Linfeng's order, Wang Zhizhen also raised a lot of funds for Fang Jiahang, allowing him and Zhang Xilin to continue the research project on trains and transmissions. It must be completed as soon as possible and connect with Western countries. This is not only Mu Linfeng's hope, but also Mu Linfeng's request for the other party Jiahang and Zhang Xilin.
In order to deal with the war in the north, Hong Chengchou quickly went to the front line of the war in the north since Mu Linfeng received the war report. Originally, Mu Linfeng thought that this might be the last big thing he did in his lifetime and wanted to go there in person, but in the end, he discussed that in addition to the war in the north, domestic stability and future development policies were not much lighter than the war in the north, so Mu Linfeng finally stayed in Nanjing.
Since the last time Chen Jinnan and his son were about to leave Nanjing, they were met by Wang Zhizhen and forced them to stay, the Chen family and his son have been living in Wang Zhizhen's mansion. While Wang Zhizhen reported to Mu Linfeng about the situation of Chen family, Mu Linfeng immediately sent someone to pick up Chen Jinnan and his son into the palace. However, Chen Jinnan's master could not enter the palace. Mu Linfeng could not, but was afraid that a group of more than a thousand people would be sent to guard Wang Zhizhen's mansion in two shifts in 24 hours to prevent the Zheng family from acting badly to Chen Jinnan.
The Zheng family has always been a secret mourning for Chen Hui's death. No one except the Zheng family's army knew that Chen Hui was dead, but after all, the paper could not contain the fire and there was no airtight wall. Although the Zheng family had been secretly hidden for five days, Mu Linfeng still heard from Yang Wan. When Mu Linfeng heard the news of Chen Hui's death, he seemed a little shocked and even sad. However, when Yang Wan said that Chen Hui was likely to die at the hands of Zheng Chenggong, Mu Linfeng felt a little more suspicious in his heart...
After all, Mu Linfeng now knows what the Zheng family army thinks, and he also knows a little bit from Chen Jinnan. Why did the Chen father and son escape from the Zheng family's house? From this, after looking through the whole thing, Mu Linfeng was roughly clear. It is completely possible to imagine why Chen Hui was killed by Zheng Chenggong.
Mu Linfeng took advantage of this day to go to Wang Zhizhen's residence to meet Chen Jinnan and his son. Chen Jinnan and his son were nominally kept in Wang Zhizhen's residence by Mu Linfeng, but in fact it was equivalent to house arrest. It was mainly because Chen Jinnan insisted on leaving, and Mu Linfeng had many things to solve, so he forced Chen Jinnan and his son to stay in Wang Zhizhen's residence...
When Mu Linfeng entered Wang Zhizhen's mansion, Chen Jinnan and his father Chen Ding were reading books in the back garden. Mu Linfeng walked into the back hall and watched Chen Jinnan and his son sitting in the garden, each holding one, and were watching with relish, while Mu Linfeng walked lightly to the two of them.
Mu Linfeng stood beside Chen Jinnan and his son for a long time, but neither of them noticed it. At this time, Mu Linfeng couldn't help it. After coughing twice, Chen Jinnan and his son turned to look at Mu Linfeng, and then they immediately stood up.
Chen Ding immediately bowed to Mu Linfeng and said, "Mr. Mu, I don't know if you are here, you are missing the welcome... It's really a sin..."
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly and said quickly: "It was Mu who disturbed Mr. Chen and his son's good intentions to read books. Mu was the one who was guilty of..."
Mu Linfeng said and looked at Chen Jinnan. He saw Chen Jinnan slowly put the book together and put it on the stone table in front of him. Then he bowed to Mu Linfeng and said, "Jinnan pays homage to brother-in-law..."
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly, nodded, and then said to Chen Jinnan: "Jinnan, I heard that you insisted on leaving Nanjing. Brother Wei has been busy with political affairs for the past few days, and he has no time to clone him. As long as he orders people to Jinnan, you will force him to stay in Nanjing... You won't blame Brother Wei, right? (Mobile reading, ap1(1 Literature Network)"
Chen Jinnan shook his head and said, "Brother, Jinnan knows your kindness, but Jinnan thinks that Nanjing is not suitable for my father and son, so he decided to leave and live to his hometown to continue farming and study..."
Mu Linfeng listened to the immersive speech while signaling Chen Ding to sit down, and then said to Chen Jinnan: "The so-called rise and fall of the country is responsible. Now China is in trouble. It is necessary for people like Jinnan to be brave and knowledgeable, but Jinnan wants to return to their hometown to live in seclusion? Is this your ambition in Jinnan?"
Chen Jinnan looked at Mu Linfeng at this time, sighed slightly, and then bowed: "It's not convenient to say more about how to approach Nan. Just think that Jinnan has let down your high hopes for Brother Jin... Please give up your favor and let my father and son return home..."
Mu Linfeng didn't say anything. After sitting on the stone bench and looking at Chen Jinnan for a long time, he turned to look at Chen Ding beside him and said lightly: "Mr. Chen, do you know what happened to Chen Hui and General Chen?"
Chen Ding frowned when he heard this and said strangely, "Ah Hui? What's wrong with him?" Chen Jinnan also frowned when he heard this, and a trace of ominous premonition surged in his heart, but Mu Linfeng said at this time: "General Chen Hui and General Chen have passed away five days ago!"
As soon as Mu Linfeng said this, Chen Ding and Chen Jinnan's faces changed drastically. For the past five days, they have been trapped in Wang Zhizhen's mansion and cannot go out for a moment. How could they know about these things? What's more, Zheng Chenggong deliberately blocked the news. If Yang Wan had not eavesdropped on the news, I was afraid that Mu Linfeng would be kept in the dark, let alone Chen's father and son...
Although Chen Jinnan and Chen Ding didn't know how Chen Hui died, they already had a premonition in their hearts that Chen Hui's death was definitely related to Fang and the others' departure. Chen Ding's face was full of sadness, tears were already full of his face, and he could not speak for a long time with his mouth...
Although Chen Jinnan was shocked, he was not as sad as his father Chen Ding. Although he was also sad, he did not cry. He quickly asked Mu Linfeng: "Did the Zheng family kill my uncle?"
Mu Linfeng originally knew that Chen Hui's death was related to Zheng Chenggong, but it was just a guess. Now, after hearing Chen Jinnan's question, he became more convinced of his guess, shook his head, and said, "The people of the Zheng family did not die, and seemed to be deliberately concealing General Chen's death... Of course, they did this, I am afraid that they would not want Mu to know except that they did not want Jinnan and Mr. Chen to know..."
Chen Ding was already in a state of silence when he heard the news of Chen Hui's death, but he was sitting there and secretly hurt himself. Chen Jinnan looked at Mu Linfeng and said, "Of course I wouldn't be wrong at this time. If the people of the Zheng family had no idea about the heart, why wouldn't they die? What they wanted to hide was already known to Sima Zhao's heart... Humph..."
Mu Linfeng looked at Chen Jinnan, then pressed Chen Jinnan's shoulder and signaled him to sit down. Then he asked Chen Jinnan: "Jinnan, you decided to leave Nanjing. Is it because you discovered some secret of the Zheng family? That's why you are so anxious to leave Nanjing?"
Chen Jinnan heard this and looked at Mu Linfeng for a long time before he stood up and bowed, "Brother Yi, since that's the case, Jinnan might as well tell you. Since Jinnan returned to Zheng's house that day, the people of the Zheng family have been asking Jinnan what his brother said to Jinnan... Later, the eldest son of the Zheng family deliberately reminded Jinnan, saying that Brother Yi, you are interested in promoting Jinnan, so they are trying their best to win over Jinnan... And Jinnan saw that the eldest son of the Zheng family was not like an ordinary person, and seemed to want to use Jinnan to be unfavorable to Brother Yi... So Jinnan decided to leave the Zheng family as soon as possible and leave Nanjing... After all, Jinnan's uncle is in the Zheng family, and Jinnan doesn't want him to do it... I don't want... I don't want uncle he already... I already..."
When Chen Jinnan said this, he could no longer say anything. Mu Linfeng also understood the whole story of the specific matter, and he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. If it was really as Chen Jinnan said, then Zheng Chenggong would become another strong enemy in Nanjing...
Originally, after Mu Linfeng stopped Yang Wan's words, he decided to arrange the Zheng family's army to go first to see their attitude, and then decide on the next move. At the same time, he could also use the navy to monitor their every move. However, now it seems that Zheng Chenggong's plan has involved Chen Jinnan, but they are afraid that their plan will be far beyond their imagination. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will win every battle, now it seems that you have to be unfamiliar with it...
Thinking of this, Mu Linfeng patted Chen Jinnan on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Jinnan, the more you do this, the more you want to stay in Nanjing and stay with you for your brother... Could it be that you don't understand why your uncle died?"
