There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 859 The dust has settled, Chen Keyan pours wine with bare hands
What a win! ?

Emperor Chen, Su Xian, Chen Keyan, Prince Tian, ​​and all the ministers in the palace stood up from their seats at the same time, all turning their heads to look outside the palace.

I saw that the person who came was wearing armor and a scarlet cloak. He was walking like a dragon and tiger, and he looked like a general.

There were many knife marks and dried blood stains on his armor and cloak, and he looked like he had just retreated from the battlefield.

"The general will pay homage to Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess, Marquis Su, and other ministers."

This person walked into the main hall, performed the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, and then began to introduce himself to his family.

It turned out that he was a soldier in the palace of the princess of Wu State. His surname was Li. He was a school captain and was known as "Li Xiaowei".

In the anti-Japanese team of 1000 people, Lieutenant Li occupied a very important position.

"Captain Li, you just said that our army had a great victory and thousands of Japanese pirates were wiped out?" Emperor Chen tried his best to suppress a trace of ecstasy in his solemn expression.

Captain Li replied loudly:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, our army has achieved a great victory! With the help of wolf traps and mandarin duck formations, 1000 of us fought a decisive battle with the Japanese pirates near Jintan County. The Japanese pirates were all wiped out, but we only injured dozens of people!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Emperor Chen said three good words in a row and was overjoyed. His ecstasy could no longer be suppressed. He looked up to the sky and laughed heartily, with the beard at the corner of his mouth trembling.

He knew that his life was short, and what he needed to do now was to pave the way for King Tian.

For this goal, he was willing to go all out, willing to take medicine to feign death as an emperor, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and even kill the queen's family!
The Queen's family has deep roots in Nanchen. Although Emperor Chen had the intention to suppress them in the past, he had many concerns. This time he dealt with them ruthlessly, and the consequences were indeed very serious.

If Su Xian hadn't instigated the wolf trap and defeated the Japanese pirates, the dignified Nanchen Dynasty would have been humiliated this time, and it would have most likely left troublesome consequences.

Su Xian is really a lucky star... Emperor Chen's heart moved, and the smile on his face did not diminish. He glanced sideways at Su Xian, and there was a faint light in his eyes...

Chen Keyan believed in Su Xian from beginning to end and never doubted it. However, the effect of Langzhen and Yuanyang Formation far exceeded her expectations.

Actually wiped out thousands of Japanese pirates in one fell swoop!

You know, those thousands of Japanese pirates are very powerful in combat, and even the [-] local garrison troops are no match for them.

Furthermore, there were only 1000 people in the team to stop the Japanese pirates, and the time to get familiar with the wolf trap and practice the mandarin duck formation was short, only a few days.

The result is such an amazing effect, which shows how powerful Su Xian is!
She looked at Su Xian motionless, with a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and a sweet and touching smile hanging on the corner of her mouth. It was a smile from the heart...

The ministers in the main hall had already started discussing excitedly. This battle was very important to Nan Chen. They saw how powerful the Langzhen and Yuanyang formations were.

It is finally possible to completely solve the Japanese invasion of Nanchen territory!
The ministers were full of gratitude to Su Xian and came forward one after another to bow and express their thanks...

In addition, Li Qingniu, Zhou Wei, and even Yang Zhilan also had countless thoughts in their hearts, but they were all used to it. Su Xian could always bring surprises, so it was nothing.

After Emperor Chen was happy for a while, he suddenly remembered that the people in the city were still gathering, and his face darkened slightly.

Although the noisy common people are not as serious as the Japanese pirates, they are still very troublesome, because you can't kill them all, right?

Suddenly, Emperor Chen remembered what Su Xian had said before. Killing two birds with one stone can not only deal with the Japanese pirates, but also the people gathered in the city.

Emperor Chen's face immediately became overjoyed, he waved his hand to stop the hustle and bustle in the hall, looked at Su Xian and asked:
"Suhou, you said before that this move can kill two birds with one stone. What about the people gathered in the city?"

Su Xian composed himself and bowed:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, after analyzing various clues, the foreign minister made a bold guess that the Japanese pirates must be related to the Queen's family.

"Now that we have defeated the Japanese pirates, we can transport the corpses of the Japanese pirates back. It would be interesting if the people discovered that there were people from the Queen's family among the corpses of the Japanese pirates."

"..."

Emperor Chen suddenly understood and praised repeatedly:
"Good idea, good method, this move follows the trend, and it really kills two birds with one stone!"

Chen Keyan and other ministers also looked happy and thought this method was wonderful.

King Tian frowned and thought for a while, then asked the doubts in his heart:

"But... Mr. Su, what if, I mean what if, no one from the Queen's family is found among the corpses of the Japanese pirates? What should we do?"

This does seem to be a problem.

The hustle and bustle in the hall fell silent.

Everyone, including Emperor Chen, Chen Keyan, and the ministers, all turned to look at Su Xian, waiting for Su Xian to give a solution.

Su Xian touched his nose, glanced at King Tian, ​​hesitated for a moment, and finally said:

"It's simple. It's better for us to be more flexible. If there is no member of the Queen's family among the Japanese pirate's corpse, we can... add him manually!"

"Hahahaha!"

The hall suddenly burst into laughter, and all the ministers praised: "It makes sense, let's do it like this!"

Emperor Chen looked at Su Xian, nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "No wonder Su Hou has been able to make extraordinary achievements repeatedly. In fact, for many things, the means are not important, what is important is the result."

After speaking, Emperor Chen turned his head to look at King Tian, ​​with a solemn look on his face, and said seriously: "Tian'er, you should learn more from Su Hou. Those who do big things should not stick to trivial matters!"

"Thank you for your teaching, father. I understand." King Tian paid his respects.

Emperor Chen nodded, and after personally arranging the matter, he waved his hand:
"Today, I received the help of Hou Su and completely solved the three major difficulties that have plagued our court for a long time. I am very happy. I am here to host a banquet. I will entertain Su Hou well and I will not return until I get drunk tonight!"

"..."

outside the palace.

In Jiangning city.

People still gathered in the streets despite the darkness.

Although their attention was diverted by the "Japanese pirate attack", they did not forget the original purpose of the gathering.

After the sky completely darkened, the news of the Japanese pirates' defeat came, and the people breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they no longer had to worry about being besieged by the Japanese pirates.

"Su Xian really lived up to his reputation. He created a wolf trap at random and actually defeated the Japanese pirates!"

"And I also heard that there are only 1000 of us, but there are thousands of Japanese pirates. This is a victory of more with less, it is incredible!"

The people discussed it heatedly for a while, and they were all very grateful to Su Xian. Some even said with regret:
"It would be great if Su Xian was from Nanchen, but he will eventually return to Daliang..."

Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd:
"Everyone, now that the Japanese invasion has been eliminated, please look back and look at the present... His Majesty has wronged the Queen and the Queen's family, and we do not accept it!"

"Yes, we are not convinced!" The people instantly entered a state of excitement and shouted in unison:
"Please, Your Majesty, stop persecuting the Queen and her family, and issue an edict to show your guilt to the world!"

"..."

At this time, bursts of uproar suddenly came from the direction of the city gate of Jiangning City.

Someone seemed to shout loudly: "This... this is impossible!"

"What's going on?" The people gathered were very confused, and some even speculated in horror: "Could it be that the imperial court sent a large army to kill us?"

"Everyone..."

A man dressed as an ordinary citizen crowded over, with a shocked and disbelieving look on his face, waving his hands and shouting loudly:
"Over there at the city gate, officers and soldiers brought back many corpses of Japanese pirates, and a small number of them... turned out to be members of the Queen's family!"

These words were like a meteorite thrown into a lake.

In an instant, tens of thousands of waves were stirred up.

The faces of the people suddenly changed. How could they believe it? They shouted loudly:

"Impossible, this is impossible. The Queen's family is a famous family in our dynasty. They usually show pity to the poor and care for the elderly. They often give away rice and porridge. It is impossible for them to collude with Japanese pirates!"

"Yes, Japanese pirates are roaming all over the country, killing innocent people indiscriminately, even the elderly and children... This is impossible, this must be a conspiracy of the imperial court!"

The voices of the people varied, some firmly disbelieving, others hesitant.

However, when someone used a flatbed cart to push the body of the "Japanese pirate" through the streets, most of the people fell silent.

Because many of them recognize the so-called "Japanese pirates", aren't they from the Queen's family?
The Queen's family acted one thing on the surface but another behind the scenes. They deceived everyone and made the people feel ashamed. This was obviously being taken advantage of!
Next, through the actions of the officers and soldiers, they not only caught the person who was the leader in spreading the rumors, but also easily dismissed all the people who gathered.

The entire streets and lanes of Jiangning City were deserted.

A crisis of trust between the court and the people disappeared in an instant...

At the same time, Prince Li’s Mansion.

King Li also received the latest news. Su Xian's Langzhen not only defeated the Japanese sword, but also eliminated the people gathered in the city in one fell swoop!
This...is equivalent to completely cutting off his path!

King Li wailed "Ah", spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground unconscious.

……

Imperial City.

Yue Princess Mansion.

Chen Keyao stayed in the mansion these two days and didn't go anywhere.

However, strictly speaking, she was actually grounded. She was grounded in the house by her sister Chen Keyan, and was not allowed to step out of the house, otherwise she would be fined with copying a hundred books!

But in fact, she vaguely knew what happened in the palace, and she also understood Chen Keyan's intention.

In order not to cause trouble, she stayed in the house obediently for the past two days, holding the "lady cat" Su Xian gave her last time and playing alone all day long.

But for some reason, since last night, the entire palace has become mysterious, and she tried her best to get any news from the palace.

"What happened in the palace?"

Last night, Chen Keyao's room was brightly lit with candles. She sat at the table, rested her chin on her hands, and murmured to herself:
"I hope that my father, sister, and Brother Su can get through this safely and safely. I also want to help, but my sister won't let me..."

Today, the situation in the palace is still mysterious.

However, Chen Keyao learned about everything that happened outside the palace, such as the gathering of people in the city, the rebellion of Japanese pirates in Yixing, etc.

Among them, Su Xian's instigation of "Langzhen" was included.

She doesn't care about wolves or anything like that.

What she cares about is Su Xian!
"nothing."

In the room, Chen Keyao placed "Lady Cat", "Rogue Rabbit" and other rag dolls on the table and sat in rows. She held her chin in her hands and looked at the dolls and said:

"I believe Brother Su will definitely have a way to solve all this!"

As time went on, the sky was getting darker.

The news that Su Xian's Langzhen defeated the Japanese pirates, that the people gathered in the city dispersed, and that the Queen's family was uprooted all came to Chen Keyao's ears.

"I'm just telling you, Brother Su must have a solution!"

Chen Keyao's big round eyes shone with admiration. She threw away the "lady cat" in her hand, grabbed the palace maid next to her and asked:
"Is Brother Su in the palace?"

"There is news from the palace that His Majesty is holding a grand celebration banquet at the Qinzheng Hall, and Mr. Su is naturally there as well." The palace maid replied.

"Having a big banquet?"

Chen Keyao rolled his eyes, clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"Thanks to Brother Su this time. Without Brother Su's solution, my father and sister would have been in dire straits. I will go into the palace and pour wine for Brother Su!"

"..."

After some time.

Royal Palace.

Qinzheng Hall.

Bright lights.

The banquet was opened in the main hall, the dancers were dancing, the sound of silk and bamboo was intertwined with the sound of cups and cups being pushed, and it was very lively.

After Chen Keyan drank dozens of glasses of wine, her face was already flushed.

She held the wine glass and stood up from her seat. After toasting Su Xian again, she suddenly found someone outside the hall door, looking inside.

She could clearly see that it was...sister Chen Keyao?

Chen Keyan blinked, quickly put down the wine glass, walked out of the hall on an excuse, grabbed her sister who turned to run away, acted like a sister, and scolded:
"Why did you come here? Didn't I ban your feet?"

"I'll pour wine for Brother Su!"

As the younger sister, Chen Keyao is naturally shorter. She raised her head slightly, her eyes widened, and she bit her lower lip tightly, looking like she was arguing hard.

"fall……"

Chen Keyan was speechless and had a slight headache, but her sister finally discovered Su Xian.

She stared brightly:
"You are my princess of Nanchen, not a palace maid. Why are you here pouring me wine?"

"I……"

"Stop talking, go back to the house and stay there. If my mother-in-law finds out, she will fine you a hundred copies of the book!"

Seeing these words, Chen Keyan calmed her sister. She smiled with satisfaction, then turned back to the hall, walked to Su Xian's table, lifted the wine bottle with bare hands, and filled a large glass for Su Xian, smiling sweetly:
"Please, Mr. Su."

"The princess pours the wine herself. I don't dare to serve as a lower official. Princess, please don't try to offend the lower officials." Su Xian said with a smile.

Outside the main hall, Chen Keyao witnessed this scene with her own eyes.

She pursed her lips, hammered the golden nanmu door frame of the hall with her two small pink fists, and said angrily:

"I was not allowed to pour wine for Brother Su, but she poured it herself. She was... plagiarizing other people's ideas! I... I... I..."

As Chen Keyao spoke, her expression suddenly turned from gloomy to clear.

Her eyes lit up, she turned around and ran out of the palace, thinking secretly in her heart:
"Hey, you won't let me get close to Brother Su, so I insist on it. Let's see how I can hide it from you!"

"..."

Qinzheng Hall.

The sound of silk and bamboo is still pleasant.

Everyone was already drunk.

When Emperor Chen saw that there was a break in singing and dancing, he took the opportunity to say that he would reward Su Xian generously.

Emperor Chen's reward was very generous. In addition to the shocking amount of material rewards, he also wanted to give Su Xian an official position, and the official position was not small.

Su Xian accepted all the material rewards, which was a huge family fortune. If he couldn't survive in Daliang anymore and came to Nanchen, even if he did nothing, he could enjoy it for several lifetimes.

However, Su Xian refused the official position offered by Emperor Chen without any hesitation.

He is now the Taiwei of Daliang, with a first-class official position. It is very inappropriate for him to go to Nanchen to take up an official position.

Emperor Chen listened to Su Xian's words and insisted twice more. Seeing that Su Xian still refused to let go, he stopped insisting.

Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this and thought to himself:
"That's right, Emperor Chen doesn't stalk me, he also knows how to think about others, and doesn't force others. This is much better than Chen Keyan. I still remember that when I was in Yingzhou, Chen Keyan used all means to fool me into going to Nanchen. !”
