The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 766 Seeing Hong Jin Finally
"Lord Miao, I did not follow the emperor's order to fight for this Jiedu envoy. Now the Jiedu envoy is Liu Shaoxuan. That kid has no talent at all. I am afraid that the Qingyuan army will fall into Tang's hands sooner or later."

The person who spoke was a bearded man, and he almost couldn't see his face clearly, but the voice sounded quite rough, and he should be a bold man, about 50 years old.

Looking at his whole person, he has the aura of a high-ranking person, he should be a high-ranking official, but feeling the aura in him, he should be a general who leads the army.

Not to mention that he is really a general who leads the army, he is Chen Hongjin who has a very good relationship with Song Dynasty.

Chen Hongjin, the next Jiedu Envoy of the Qingyuan Army, was the most popular, and he was also the one with the highest prestige besides staying in the post.

Chen Hongjin was born in poverty, and it seems that most famous people are either from aristocratic families or from poor backgrounds.

Liu Congxiao is like this, and so is Chen Hongjin. People of this type have one thing in common, that is, they are different from others.

Although this Chen Hongjin is a child from a poor family, he always has great ambitions and always thinks that one day he will be able to gallop the world.

He couldn't read books, so he used all available opportunities to study poetry and prose, but he liked to study the art of war most, and was famous in the village for his talent and courage.

Later, he felt that studying was still useless. In this troubled world, force is still the most powerful, so he started to join the army after he grew up.

After joining the army, he worked for the King of Fujian. He fought very bravely, won the favor of the Wang, and was constantly promoted.

Especially in a battle of attacking Tingzhou, he Chen Hongjin took the lead and charged forward with a big knife in his hand. Soon Tingzhou was captured by the state of Min, and the first victory fell on Chen Hongjin.

Later, he was appointed as the deputy soldier and horse envoy because of his meritorious service, and he also forged a deep friendship with Liu Congxiao and others.

In the sixth year of the Yonglong reign of Fujian, Zhu Wenjin and Lian Chong met and killed the emperor Yanxi of Fujian, and Zhu Wenjin established himself as the ruler of Fujian.

Chen Hongjin, Liu Congxiao, Dong Si'an, Zhang Hansi and others rebelled against Zhu and Lian's party, and were appointed by Yan Emperor Yanzheng as the commander of the capital.

After Zhu Wenjin was killed and Yin Emperor Yanzheng surrendered to the Southern Tang Dynasty, Chen Hongjin also returned to the Southern Tang Dynasty. When Liu Congxiao was appointed as Qingyuan Jiedu Envoy, Chen Hongjin was appointed as the Commanding Army Envoy.

Liu Congxiao always believed that Chen Hongjin was the one who could become the Jiedu envoy to keep the Qingyuan army safe, but no one would have thought that Chen Hongjin would give up this position by himself.

Let the Liu Shaoyu recommended by Zhang Hansi become the Jiedu envoy, and both himself and Zhang Hansi are deputy envoys of the Jiedu envoy.

"Brother Ji Chuan, don't you understand what the emperor means? Since the moment you presented the book of generals and civilians to the emperor, the emperor has regarded you as one of his own, and has never treated him badly."

The Mr. Miao on the opposite side was actually Miao Xun, who did not expect Miao Xun to go to Quanzhou in person, which shows how much Zhao Kuangyin attaches importance to this Qingyuan Army, and sent over his most trusted Suyiwei commander.

"Sir, it's serious. It is the greatest favor the emperor has given me to have a gentleman here. I, Chen Hongjin, am also a person who knows the importance."

Although Miao Xun was only an open position as the commander of Suyiwei in the Song Dynasty, it was not high, he could only follow the third rank.

But in private, everyone gave him the title of "hidden prime minister", which means that he does not have the title of prime minister, but has the real power of prime minister.

"Brother Ji Chuan, the emperor attaches great importance to you. Now he has prepared a mansion for you in Bianjing, that is to say, you have been named Min Guogong by His Majesty. I am very envious!"

Miao Xun is not joking, Zhao Kuangyin really met in Bianjing such a house was for Chen Hongjin.

"Oh, sir, please take me to thank the emperor, it's really the emperor's grace!" Chen Hongjin hurriedly expressed his attitude.

"The emperor said that Chen Hongjin was loyal to the country, and I don't hesitate to bestow him with a title, so Mr. Chen, you are in the heart of the emperor! Haha!" Miao Xun smiled once in a while.

"It's all about the great grace of the emperor. In fact, it's nothing more. It's just the general trend. The Song Dynasty will eventually unify the world. We are now aware of current affairs, so that we can do something practical for the people, so that the people will suffer less disasters. Only in this way is it right for the brothers who died to maintain the peace of this land that day."

Chen Hongjin didn't do it for his own official position, if it was for his own status, he could completely treat the Qingyuan Army as his own private property at this time, and it is also possible to become emperor.

But he didn't do this, so he is still a good person, he knows how to think about the people, and more importantly, he is a person with vision, knowing that the Southern Tang Dynasty will eventually be destroyed by the Song Dynasty. too big.

"Haha, what a person who thinks about the common people. I just like this kind of person. As expected, I came to see you in person, okay." At this time, a young man about 20 years old came out from behind the curtain.

Chen Hongjin was taken aback. He met Miao Xun in secret, and other people were not allowed to come near this place. Who is this young man and why is he here?
"My lord, you are here. By the way, my lord, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Chen Hongjin you want to see."

Miao Xun stood up and introduced Chen Hongjin. Before Chen Hongjin could react, Miao Xun spoke again.

"Brother Ji Chuan, this is my son!"

The identity of the person who can make Yin Xiang called the son is ready to be revealed, that is, he is the eldest son of the prince of Song Dynasty, Prince Zhao Xu.

As for why he didn't say it was Zhao Kuangyin's other relatives, it's easy to rule out that King Jin has been abolished, and Zhao Kuangyin's other brothers haven't come out to do anything.

As for Zhao Kuangyin's other sons, they were all very young, so the son Miao Xun was talking about was definitely Zhao Xu.

"Prince!" Chen Hongjin had to get up.

"Hey, I'm just a young son now. Where did I come from? Master Chen, I don't dare to call you that! Haha, come and sit down."

Zhao Xu's meaning is obvious, I don't want to reveal my identity, so stop talking, I'm an ordinary person.

"Understood, I understand. By the way, I don't know what the young master is here for?" Chen Hongjin didn't know what Zhao Xu was doing here.

Miao Xun basically arranged everything, so when Zhao Xu appeared again, he really didn't know what he was doing.

"I'm fine. I just came to see Mr. Chen. I just want to have a chat with Mr. Chen. I've heard your name all the time. I want to come and get to know you today. Why don't you welcome me?"

Zhao Xu said with a half smile.

Why did the prince come to see him? Although Song Dynasty would send a person with enough weight to stabilize the stability of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, he didn't expect Zhao Xu to come.

"Hehe, you don't have to doubt it. I just came to see you, Chen Hongjin, and wanted to get close to you."
