My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 642
In the camp, an army of [-] people was practicing intensely. The infantry were forming formations and the cavalry were charging. The entire campus was filled with murderous intent, just like a real battlefield.

Chen Xuan stood on the high platform, watching the drills of his soldiers, and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

Although this army is a makeshift team, its strength is not bad. With a little training, it can become a good elite soldier.

"Father, the army is adjusting faster than expected. King Zhao has always wanted us to send troops early, even at the expense of food and grass, so should we send troops early to help him wipe out the Japanese rebels?"

At this time, a middle-aged man about 40 years old next to him asked Chen Xuan. His name was Chen Zuo. He was Chen Xuan’s eldest son and his most valued son. He had been taken by his side when he was young and taught him martial arts. Now, Chen Zuo is also a good general.

"Don't worry, King Zhao is narrow-minded and suspicious. If we send troops in advance, he might not only not be grateful, but also feel that I have perfunctory him before, so it is not too late to wait for a full month before sending troops. Anyway, it won't be too late." Just a few days away."

Chen Xuan waved his hand and replied.

Chen Xuan was not very familiar with Zhu Gaosui, but he had very poisonous eyes and was always very accurate in judging people. Through several contacts during this period, he had seen through Zhu Gaosui's character. If he had not been unable to send troops before, he would not have wanted to offend him. other side.

"It makes sense. I have also heard people say that King Zhao is narrow-minded and will retaliate for his anger. In comparison, King Han is more popular among the generals and officers in the army!"

Chen Zuo nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

"In addition to being arrogant about taking credit, the King of Han is indeed a capable general. However, you must be careful what you say in the future and never mention the King of Han in front of outsiders!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan suddenly warned his son with a serious expression.

"Why?"

Chen Zuo asked in confusion. Although the King of Han went to Tianzhu, there were still legends about the King of Han in the army. Especially some time ago, the King of Han entered the imperial city with only three thousand troops and horses, which spread his reputation throughout the Ming Dynasty. Many soldiers in the army called Zhu Gaoxu the overlord of the world.

"You are stupid. The King of Han led his troops into the imperial city and almost captured his majesty alive. Then he kidnapped the prince. Your majesty has long been filled with anger. I heard that many people have been arrested in the capital. Because these things are discussed in private about the king of Han."

Chen Xuan glared at his son and said.

His son is good at everything, but he is too straight-minded. To put it bluntly, he has no discernment. If he is not careful, he can easily offend others.

"I'm not stupid. I never talk about King Han's affairs in front of others. I just chat with a few friends behind my back. I don't have to worry about spreading it."

Chen Zuo said unconvinced.

"I can't say anything behind my back. The news I just received is that the King of Han has proclaimed himself emperor in Tianzhu. Your Majesty will definitely be even more annoyed. So no matter where you are in the future, you can never mention the word "King of Han" again. Remember, 'Misfortune comes from the mouth. out'!"

Chen Xuan angrily said that he was over [-] years old. In the future, the entire Pingjiang Prince's Mansion would be handed over to this stupid son Chen Zuo, so he was really afraid that this son would go out and talk nonsense and give up all his life's hard work. destroyed.

"I know, I just won't say anything anymore!"

Chen Zuo said a little aggrieved.

"Just understand. There are some things you can do, but you must never say them out."

Chen Xuan taught his son again.

"Then what can be done?"

After hearing this, Chen Zuo curiously asked his father for advice.

"Do you know where your cousin Chen Liang has been recently?" Chen Xuan looked around and found that no one was approaching their father and son, so he asked in a low voice.

"Chen Liang? Isn't he a county magistrate in Yunnan?"

Chen Zuo was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion.

Chen Liang is the son of his biological uncle. He entered the Imperial Academy with the support of his father Chen Xuan, and later entered the officialdom as an official. He became a county magistrate at a young age. As long as Chen Xuan puts in more effort in the future, he might be able to do so in the future. He can be promoted, and he can be regarded as a very outstanding young generation of the Chen family.

"Chen Liang recently suffered from a serious illness, and then resigned from office due to illness. Of course, the illness was fake, but the resignation was real."

Chen Xuan stroked his beard and said softly.

"Resign? Why? He got the county magistrate with great difficulty, and I heard that he did a good job. If he can do some activities in the future, and if he can be transferred back to the capital, he might have a lot of potential. Why should he resign?"

Chen Zuo asked in confusion.

Among the entire Chen family, apart from Chen Zuo, Chen Liang is the best. Sometimes Chen Zuo still thinks that in the future, he and Chen Liang will be both civil and military, and the entire Chen family will have to rely on the two brothers to support them.

"I asked him to resign, and after he resigned, he made an excuse to travel overseas. He is probably in Tianzhu by now!"

When Chen Xuan said this, a look of pride appeared on his face.

"Go to Tianzhu!"

Chen Zuo was also shocked when he heard this. His eyes were wide open. He never imagined that Chen Liang would go to Zhu Gaoxu's place.

"Father, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will find out about this, which will cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction?"

Chen Zuo was stunned for a while, then suddenly woke up, and then asked his father worriedly.

"What do you know? I am leaving a way out for our Chen family. The king of Han can attack the capital once, and naturally he can attack the capital twice. Therefore, our Chen family cannot hang themselves on a tree. Of course, we must bet on both ends. !”

Chen Xuan glared at his son, but patiently explained to him that after all, Chen Zuo was the one who wanted to inherit his title, and the family affairs must be explained clearly to him.

"I understand, dad, your talents are no worse than anyone else. Just because you are not an old man in Emperor Taizong Yan's palace, you have worked hard all your life and only got an earl. In comparison, the hero of Jingnan is an unfair prince. , so personal talent is far less than following the right person!”

Chen Zuo finally understood and immediately clapped his hands and said.

"Yes, you can understand this. After all, these years have not been in vain. And as far as I know, not only our Chen family, but also other nobles who have a way, who wouldn't send people to Tianzhu? It's a pity that you brothers are all here On the surface, I can't send it to Tianzhu, so I have to send your cousin there. If you find the right person in the future, you can also send it to Tianzhu!"

Chen Xuan patted his son on the shoulder and said again.

"Son understands!"

Chen Zuo immediately said excitedly that he finally understood what he could do but couldn't say. Every noble family sent people to Tianzhu just to bet on both ends. It seemed that he would have to be more cautious in the future, otherwise he would never be able to do it for the rest of his life. I can only be a count.

Just as Chen Xuan and his son were chatting, they suddenly saw a horse galloping towards them. As they ran, they shouted loudly: "The navy in the port is reporting urgently. The Izumo Daimyo Toji clan has sent troops to attack our Daming Yun Bank." fleet!"
