Chapter 7 Chen Jianchou
As the royal family of the Dayu Kingdom, the Chen family has been prosperous for many years and is naturally a huge population.
Strictly speaking, Chen Jianchou is a royal family. From his name, we can see that like Chen Jianqiu, they are both in the "Sword" generation, while Chen Shuhua is in the "Shu".
However, because the royal family has too many people, those remote royal families cannot be treated well. They still have to rely on their own abilities to make a living. At most, there are more ways than ordinary people, but they are quite limited.
Because of this, there is a huge gap between Chen Jianqiu and Chen Jianqiu. As the daughter of the king, Chen Jianqiu is a princess who was officially enthroned by the Daxuan court. Chen Jianqiu is just a military officer of low rank, and the former may not know the existence of the latter.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary military officers naturally cannot intervene in such matters involving the court's secrets, but Xu Jiaorong's suggestion to ask Chen Jianchou to investigate is her reason, because Chen Jianchou is in Qingluanwei.
This Qingluan Guard is not the Qingluan Guard.
Because the Great Wei once ruled Borneo for a short time, the Dayu Kingdom followed the example of the Great Wei court in everything, including all official positions, and naturally the famous Qingluanwei was indispensable. It can be said that Borneo has been following behind the Central Plains across the river.
The Qingluan Guard has two main responsibilities: one is to supervise all officials internally and collect intelligence from the outside, and the second is to be responsible for ceremonial guards and guards. Its predecessor was the Yiluan Guard. Therefore, the Qingluan Guard was known as the Emperor's personal army in the previous Wei Dynasty.
Now that the Taoist sect leader and the emperor are separated, there is naturally no saying that the emperor is personally in his own army. In addition, the strength of Beichen Hall has greatly reduced the status of the Qingluan Guard. However, on the side of the Dayu Kingdom, the Qingluan Guard is still a very important institution, and it is the personal army of the king.
Because of this, many remote royal family members were filled in the Qingluan Guard. These royal family members had no inheritance rights and were their own families, but could trust them instead.
Chen Jianchou is one of them, and now he serves as the assistant commander of the fourth rank.
As mentioned earlier, in the Daxuan court, the Qingluan Guard was repeatedly weakened, and now it is only the personal army's chief lieutenant's mansion, and the highest rank is only a third rank.
The State of Dayu maintained the old system of the Great Wei. The full name of Qingluan Guard is the Qingluan Guard General Office. The highest official is the left governor of the first-rank Qingluan Guard. Under it, there are two right governors of the second-rank, as well as several assistants from the second-rank governors and the third-rank governors. Then, there are three commanders. Each commander has two commanders, two commanders and four-rank commanders.
The fourth-rank commander sounds very high, but it depends on where the fourth-rank is. The fourth-rank of the Dayu Kingdom is obviously not comparable to the fourth-rank of the Daxuan court, and it is even more impossible to compare with the fourth-rank of the Taoist priests of the Taoist sect.
When Qi Xuansu took a flying boat to leave Sheji Palace and began a half-month trip to the prefectures and counties.
Everyone's attention was attracted by the newly appointed deputy deputy head of the House, speculating where this newly-rise young and powerful figure would go, whether it would launch a sudden attack, and whether it would play a private visit on the mask of Borneo. Many people were staring at the map of Borneo and guarding the situation.
Even Wang Jiaohe, the real person in the palace, was more concerned about Qi Xuansu's movements and told the people below to do the superficial articles.
At this time, naturally no one would notice the little character Chen Jianchou.
When Chen Jianchou was summoned by Xu Jiaorong, he was still a little confused.
Chen Jianchou's mother died of dysfunction. His father was a military officer. He died in a war to suppress the chieftain. At that time, Chen Jianchou was just twelve years old. By chance, he met Xu Jiaorong. Under Xu Jiaorong's protection, he was not driven out of the house by his relatives who were extremely vulnerable.
Chen Jianchou was diligent and studious, and read Taoist classics and was quite familiar with Confucian classics. He once wanted to get into Taoist classics, but unfortunately failed because of his excessive Confucian thoughts. Later, with the recommendation of Xu Jiaorong, he entered the Qingluanwei of the Dayu Kingdom. During this process, Xu Jiaorong kept giving funding, so Chen Jian hated Xu Jiaorong as his mother and obeyed everything.
In a sense, the relationship between Chen Jianchou and Xu Jiaorong is somewhat similar to that between Qi Xuansu and Qi Niang.
Because Xu Jiaorong's identity is special, Chen Jianchou rarely meets Xu Jiaorong. Most of the time, he can only meet for a short time during some festivals. Now that he is not in the New Year or the Festival, he will naturally be confused when he meets him suddenly, but he can probably guess that Xu Jiaorong has something to look for him.
Of course, the place where the two met was not in Sheji Palace, but in a tavern in Shenglong Mansion, Chen Jianchou is a regular visitor here, and this is also the first time the two met and met.
In the separate private room, Xu Jiaorong picked up the wine glass and smiled and said, "I still remember the first time I saw you, the small villain learned to drink to relieve his sorrows. It was really funny and cute. In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and you have grown up."
Chen Jianchou was a little embarrassed.
Xu Jiaorong did not make too much politeness. After raising his hand to set a ban, he said, "I have something to entrust to you when I see you this time."
Chen Jianchou's face turned solemn, "Please speak with the adopted mother."
Xu Jiaorong pondered for a moment and said, "You should know that the king is sick."
Chen Jianchou was shocked.
About this
Of course he heard about it, but he didn't take it seriously. Today, he was surprised when his mother suddenly mentioned it. Could it be that there is something strange about it? If there is really something strange, wouldn't it be a monarch? Or a witchcraft incident?
No matter which one it is, it is enough to shake the court.
Xu Jiaorong paused and said, "I suspect this is a bit strange. I want you to check it for me. Is there something abnormal in the palace recently?"
Chen Jianchou became more and more surprised.
The Borneo Dao Palace has always ignored the affairs of the palace in the Dayu Kingdom. The master of the government was even more lazy to watch these trivial matters like children playing. His adopted mother, as the secretary of the master of the master of the government, never asked about such matters, but this time she took the initiative to intervene for the first time. Could it be that something was wrong?
Xu Jiaorong looked at Chen Jianchou's expression and continued, "This matter also involves Chief Chen. You have me and I have you. Don't say it's you, even if I can't tell it, you can't tell it clearly. Therefore, you can only conduct this investigation alone in secret and not disclose it at all."
Chen Jianchou felt a storm in his heart and said seriously, "Yes."
Xu Jiaorong took a sip of wine slowly, and his manners were elegant, making people pleasing to the eye at first sight.
Chen Jianchou felt that his mind was in a mess.
The adopted mother suddenly asked about the secret affairs of the palace and said bluntly that the lord's illness was very strange, and it was not aimless. The involvement of Chief Chen, who is the lord's sister, reminded him of a possibility that this matter was not only involved in the secrets of the palace, but also involved open and secret struggles within the Borneo Dao.
Xu Jiaorong put down the wine glass in his hand and sighed softly, "It seems that the world is rising and peaceful on the surface, like the chaos in Fenglinzhou, it is just a disease of scabies, which is not worth worrying about. In fact, there has been an undercurrent. At this time, whether the bigwigs above work hard to govern or do nothing, whether they are lenient or rude, will not affect the overall situation too much. It is lenient and wrong, and the final result will not change greatly. This is the great trend. However, the results of those who are in the general trend are still different. Some will be defeated, some will be disgraced, some will be disgraced, and some will take advantage of the situation to become trendsetters."
Chen Jianchou looked surprised and didn't know how to answer the conversation.
Of course, he could hear the pessimistic attitude in the words of the Mother of Advocate, which was pessimism about the three disputes between Taoism and seemed to imply the current situation in the Borneo Taoist State.
Xu Jiaorong calmed down a little and said, "It's too far-reaching, or the serious matter. It takes less than ten words to find out the cause of the Lord of Dayu, but the matter behind these nine words
Love, if written into a case file in the future, it will probably be piled up like a mountain. I can tell you clearly that this matter is the decision of the Yujing Jinque, and the safety of countless creatures in Fenglinzhou, the lower Guanguan. There is a turbulent and unsightly situation. If you take a wrong step, you will be unable to protect yourself immediately, so you must be careful again and again."
Chen Jianchou had a serious expression on his face, "I must act cautiously."
Xu Jiaorong stood up and said, "I'll give you half a month. After half a month, no matter what degree you find, I'll give me a reply. Remember, you must focus on protecting yourself."
"Thank you for your concern. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Chen Jianchou also stood up.
Xu Jiaorong looked at him, "If this is done well, it may allow you to enter the Taoist sect. As I said just now, the general situation has been determined, but everyone's ending is not determined. What kind of fortune-making method you have depends on yourself in the end."
Chen Jianchou was shocked again.
Xu Jiaorong finally gave Chen Jianchou three talismans, called "Taiyin Concealed Shape Talisman", which can be used to conceal his body. Unless he is a master in the creation stage, he will not notice it at all.
These three talismans, Chen Jianchou can be used to spy on or save his life, all depends on how he uses them.
After Xu Jiaorong left, Chen Jianchou did not leave immediately, but slowly drank the wine in the wine pot alone.
He had a premonition that he was being involved in a whirlpool created by a huge undercurrent. If he was not careful, he would be destroyed. However, this was also his opportunity. As the Mother of the Elephant said, as long as he did it, he could soar into the sky. I think this was one of the reasons why the Mother of the Elephant decided to let him take charge of this matter.
It was not until the evening that Chen Jianchou left the tavern and returned to his residence.
The next morning, he came to the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office and checked some files in the name of handling the case.
Because Qingluan Guard has the responsibility to protect the palace, there will be corresponding records on Qingluan Guard whenever he enters the palace and when he leaves the palace. He does not have to check the national lord's medical records directly. He only needs to use the frequency and time of the Taoist priests and imperial physicians entering and leaving the palace to roughly infer the time when the national lord began to develop.
If he went directly to investigate the national lord's medical record, it would be eye-catching. It is very likely that he had already aroused the alertness of the people behind the scenes before he found any substantial content, and then he was quietly dealt with.
