Seeing Chen Yichen's face showing a contemplative expression after hearing the civil servant taking action first, Shi Heng, Duke of Zhongguo, thought that the other party's attitude had loosened, so he rang the railway while the hot: "Looking north, no matter whether you have the idea of ​​interfering in becoming a crown prince, the officialdom has reached the level of you and me, and when a major change comes, he is destined to be unable to survive alone."

"Instead of being passive at that time, it is better to join forces with this boss to take the initiative!"

Faced with Shi Heng's re-entry, Chen Yichen still had a contemplative expression. His brain was rotating rapidly at this moment, and he was thinking too much, which was far beyond the scope of supporting the crown prince alone.

Taking the initiative to attack is one of the few consensuses of Chen Yichen and Shiheng. People are destined to be in control of the world. Those who are in the officialdom want to stand by and watch the big thing about becoming a crown prince is simply a dream.

However, the three paths of support for the traditional ministers, the emperor could not understand Chen Yichen's body, and was completely blocked by the checks and balances of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu. The emperor only wanted a "lonely minister" who was loyal to his lineage.

Now that the civil servant group has taken action in advance, Shi Heng and other upstarts have formed a rival to the party and spies, and have become the slowest and passive strategically. They must find a way out to make arrangements in advance, otherwise they will fall into passiveness everywhere.

However, working with an extremely ambitious man like Shi Heng is almost equivalent to seeking a flirt with Hu. Chen Yichen knew very well that in his initial mentality, he was not like-minded with the other party, and even if he cooperated, the day would sooner or later turn against each other.

And according to Shi Heng's current growth rate of forming cliques and making personal gains, if he cannot cooperate with him until the end, he will become a disaster for raising a tiger. Many things he has experienced have given Chen Yichen a lot of life experience, one of which is to never underestimate the ancients.

When you really turn against each other, even if you have the perspective of God in history, you may not be able to play with them.

Seeing Chen Yichen appearing in hesitant again, Shi Heng's enthusiasm was instantly extinguished. He is simple and rough in character, and he hates the kind of indecisive corrupt scholar who agrees or refuses to do something in one sentence. He always thinks about everything here and looks forward to it. He doesn't look like a person who has accomplished great things?

I don’t know what happened to Chen Yichen in the past few years of conquering the three guards of Wurianha. I remember that even the Supreme Emperor dared to abandon him in the enemy camp. After the Tartars withdrew their troops, they immediately made a decision to rush to Liaodong thousands of miles away, but now they are completely different.

Just when Duke Zhongguo Shi Heng thought he would definitely not be able to continue his talk, Chen Yichen slowly stretched out his right hand and raised the wine glass on the table and said, "Donal Zhongguo treats each other so sincerely, how can I ungrate you? I will do this glass of wine first, and I hope to achieve great things together in the future!"

After saying that, Chen Yichen drank the glass of wine in one go, showing a sincere look.

To be honest, when Chen Yichen suddenly changed his attitude and agreed to cooperate, Duke Zhongguo Shi Heng couldn't believe it in a moment. However, he quickly came to his senses and raised the wine glass on the table and said, "With the help of Master Chen, we will definitely stand at the top of the court in the future and live up to the emperor's ambition to be an official!"

Shi Henghong's face was full of heroism. Now most of the troops in the capital and the nine sides were controlled by his own party members. A group of Confucian scholars in the civil service group, who were powerless, really rely on their words when the great change came. Can they still be stronger than swords?

Being an official is for power. Who doesn’t want to be inferior to one person or even go further and supreme?

Not only Shi Heng was full of passion, but even Dingyuan Bo Shi Biao, who was a little teasing just now, said happily: "That's right, now only our honorary and relatives can join forces to suppress Hu Yi's civil servants."

"Gei Master Chen, I was disrespectful just now. Now I punish myself for three cups. Please don't be surprised."

Shi Biao has been following Shi Heng since childhood and has been through life and death. His personality is simply carved from the same mold. He immediately picked up the wine glass on the table and poured a few glasses of apologies.

Regarding this holiday, Chen Yichen waved his hand casually and said, "What a small matter is worth mentioning? Dingyuan Bo has been worried about it."

"You are right. From now on, we will be our own people. Master Chen can hold a boat in his stomach, so you don't have to take Shi Biao to heart."

"

Since we have reached a strong alliance today, we must be drunk and let the beauty come up to help us liven up!"

The main thing has been agreed upon, so it is time to have a lot of joy. After the guard standing at the door received Shi Heng's order, he notified the old mother of Chenxianglou to call the girls to accompany him.

Soon the whole room was filled with a group of belles, including the courtesans recently selected by the capital. Just from the appearance, they were still so beautiful.

However, Chen Yichen was not very interested in women. As early as the Winter Solstice Poetry Festival in Yingtian Prefecture, he had seen many beautiful women, and later he met several courtesans in the capital.

But the beauty is easy to grow old, and a new generation has changed into old people. I don’t know whether the courtesans who used to be lonely after they were old and deteriorated, or whether they found a good family to marry someone else’s wife.

But what surprised Chen Yichen was that he actually felt a sense of familiarity on the face of a musician playing the pipa, and always felt like he had seen it before. Relatively speaking, this woman in green clothes seemed to have thousands of words in her eyes when facing Chen Yichen's gaze.

Chen Yichen and the musician woman's eyes quickly attracted the attention of Chen Huan, the legitimate son of Taining Marquis. He always maintained a stance of not speaking during the entire process of Shi Heng's win over.

In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Huan is Chen Yichen's wife's brother, and Chen Qingtong is still the only daughter. In theory, as a brother in her mother's family, she would have a very close relationship. However, Chen Heng did not forget the scene in the mourning hall of Chen Ying, Hou Taining. In front of his father, Chen Yichen threatened to break his legs.

In addition, the family of the Taining Marquis' Mansion was basically emptied by Chen Qingtong's dowry and became Chen Yichen's wealth. Chen Huan had deep resentment in his heart and always wanted to take revenge.

But things in the world are impermanent, and who can want his enemy to become the object of favor from Duke Zhongguo Shi Heng. This made Chen Huan able to suppress his resentment and dissatisfaction and sit next to him as a guest.

Now seeing Chen Yichen seems to be interested in this musician. Chen Huan dare not do the breakup. He still has the courage to disgust the other party. So he used the alcohol to directly stretch out his hand, pulled the musician playing the pipa and hugged it into his arms. In frightened, the woman screamed.

"Do you know who I am? I'm asking you to drink with me to save face, and then I'll call the old mom to sell it to the trash!"

The places of the Ming Dynasty were also divided into grades. The top ones were naturally the Agarwood Tower in the capital. The women in them were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and were specially used for the top scholars and officials. If they were attracted by a minister, they could still be free from being a lowly person and having no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

The worst thing is the secret prostitutes in the tile house. When they fall there, they basically have no chance of getting out of it. They will soon become a deserted flower and willow in the fall. The powerful women present today are all clear in their hearts that this is definitely not a joke.

Sure enough, after this threat, the musicians in green dared not say much, so they could only lower their heads and let Chen Huan hug them. This scene was even more of a big deal in the eyes of Shi Heng and others. Not to mention selling it to a tile house, even if it killed someone on the spot, what's wrong with their class?

But at this moment, Chen Yichen finally remembered who this green musician was. Isn’t this the girl who accompanied her name Liu'er in Xueling Pavilion back then?

I didn't expect that after so many years, I would meet at Chenxianglou. The only thing that has not changed is that she still likes green clothes.

"It is said that a beautiful lady is a gentleman, but if a girl doesn't like you, what's the difference with a gangster?"

Chen Yichen stared at Chen Huan and said this sentence in a calm tone. This scene was very surprised when Shi Heng and others saw this scene. After all, in ancient times, it was important to not be made public. Outsiders would not know the relationship between Chen Qingtong and her parents' family.

So in the eyes of others, Chen Yichen had a marriage relationship with Chen Huan after all. As for the sake of a musical genius who was completely unrelated, would he sarcastically?

"Gei Master Chen, what do you mean?"

Chen Huan's face turned pale in an instant. He did not expect Chen Yichen to be so straightforward and disrespectful, completely changing his previous modesty image.

"It means you don't

It's loved by people, and this is the one who happens to know this girl Liu'er, let it go."

When Liu'er heard Chen Yichen say her name, she was filled with surprise. She didn't expect that the humble brothel woman could still remember the prestigious prime minister after so many years.

Shi Heng and others also reacted at this moment. Chen Yichen knew this musician. Could it be that he was jealous?

However, compared with Chen Huan, the legitimate son of Taining Marquis, it is obvious that Chen Yichen's status and importance are far more than many times. Chen Ruyan, the deputy minister of the Ministry of War, immediately started to smooth things over and said, "There is no grass everywhere in the world. Since this girl is an old acquaintance of the Grand Sima, Mr. Chen should not take away the love of others."

"That's right. We need to have a way of treating guests. Miss Liu'er will sit over."

"I didn't expect that Master Chen Ge still had an old acquaintance in Chenxiang Pavilion. Real people don't show their appearance, haha."

Everyone present said something and tactfully eased and joked, but Chen Huan's face was extremely sinister. He did not expect that his future Taining Hou would be so unrestrained in the eyes of his party members and showed one-sided persuasion.

"Chen Huan, I don't want to say something again."

Chen Yichen named him this time, and at the same time, his aura suddenly burst out, which was completely different from the humble and low-key appearance before. The pressure vaguely overshadowed Shi Heng, the Duke of Zhongguo present, making everyone feel breathless.

It was not until this moment that people like Shi Biao and others understood why the Zhongguo Guild valued Chen Yichen so much and did not hesitate to lower his identity to actively win over and show goodwill. This boy was really hidden to the extreme and had reached the state of being powerless without anger!

Faced with these warning words, Chen Huan instinctively let go of his palm in fear, and his expression on his face was gloomy and gloomy. Liu'er took advantage of the situation and stood beside Chen Yichen, but just like before, she was still sitting normally.

"Come on, come on, come on, let's continue drinking!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solidified, Shi Heng immediately raised the wine glass to liven up. Liu'er raised the wine pot at the same time and poured wine for Chen Yichen, while saying, "Liu'er thanked Mr. Chen Ge Lao for helping him, but I am already Pu Liu's body, and I can't bear to be Chen Ge Lao's kindness."

After all, Liu'er was wandering in brothels, and the worldly style was not far from being so different. She knew very well that Chen Yichen would help her to help her get ahead, at least she would offend the legitimate son of Taining Hou and affect the atmosphere with other officials in the court.

How can I help a brothel girl?

When Liu'er heard the panic words, Chen Yichen smiled calmly and said, "It's okay, you don't have to take it to heart by raising your hands."

Not to mention the legitimate son of Taining Marquis, even the current Taining Marquis has never taken it seriously. He deserves nothing to be the word "offended" by himself?

In addition, Chen Yichen is willing to do this, in addition to helping Liu'er to rescue the siege, more to establish his authority in front of his fellow disciples such as Zhongguo Duke Shi Heng. Since the two sides now have a cooperative relationship, they cannot leave a humble and cowardly impression in the hearts of reckless men like Shi Biao, otherwise it will be easy to be arrogant.

What Chen Yichen wants is "strong alliance", not Shi Heng, Duke Zhongguo, is above him!

After drinking a few glasses of wine, a false peaceful scene was quickly restored. Time passed by minute by minute, and finally the time was about to disperse the wine. Everyone stood up and said goodbye to each other. Shi Heng was obviously a little bit much. With the help of his nephew Shi Biao, he staggered out of the room.

Looking at Chen Yichen who was about to leave, Liu'er sent him to the door in an extremely reluctant to part ways, and then said softly: "Young Master Chen, go slowly."

"Young Master Chen" is the most unforgettable impression in Liu'er about Chen Yichen when she first met. She also knew that this farewell today would be almost impossible to meet again in the future.

Liu'er thought that Chen Yichen, who had drunk too much, would not be aware of the change in his name, but unexpectedly, a voice came from his ears: "Nianhua Yi Lao, Qinlou Chuguan is not a place to settle down after all. With the name of me as an old acquaintance, I should leave early and this is a place of failure."

After saying this, Chen Yichen left Chen Xianglou without looking back. When he met by chance, he could use his reputation to leverage Liu'er, so he could only help here.

The group of people scattered at the banquet and returned to the sedan chair, who was originally a drunk model.

Shi Heng's eyes immediately returned to the Qingming Festival. His nephew Shi Biao knew that his uncle had a lot of money, so he could not get drunk at all. He did not look any unexpected when he saw this scene.

"Uncle, Chen Yichen changed his mind later and agreed to join forces with us so readily. Do you think he has any intention?"

"What are you willing to do without any intention?"

Shi Heng replied disdainfully, if Chen Yichen had no ambition and intentions, how could he participate in planning the establishment of a crown prince?

"Uncle, I mean Chen Yichen is not easy to control. Will there be any hidden dangers when joining forces with him?"

Just a banquet, Chen Yichen gave Shi Biao an unfathomable impression. Even if he deals with an old fox like Hu Yi who has experienced the Six Dynasties, he does not have that inexplicable sense of heart and oppression.

"Shi Biao, there is a saying that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. It just so happens that Chen Yichen and I are both fierce tigers. Let's experience it slowly."

After Shi Heng finished speaking, he leaned on his back mat and closed his eyes to rest, and stopped talking.

Chen Yichen, who was on the other side, also returned to his carriage. When Bian He saw the boss coming back, he immediately asked carefully: "Master, Shi Heng talked to you something. He is ambitious and not a good person."

"I talked about joining hands to establish a crown prince."

Bian He was not surprised that Shi Heng had the ambition to intervene in the position of a crown prince. After all, Guo Deng, Dingxiang Bo, Mongolia, had been verified as early as the southern part of the desert.

"How did the proprietor respond?"

"I agreed."

"What, agreed?"

Bian He's expression was filled with shock in an instant. What Shi Heng did was definitely not a blessing for his family and country. Chen Yichen had long promised that he would suppress Shi Heng's ambition and autocracy after returning to the court, so why did he agree to work with him?

Isn't this accomplice for the tiger?

Looking at Bian He's surprised expression, Chen Yichen was as calm as ever, and replied in a calm sentence: "The rule of operation in the world lies in the word "power". Shi Heng wanted to use the power of the Duke's lineage to suppress opposing civil servants and clan relatives."

"I also need to use his power to suppress a class that is stronger than the vassal."
