Chapter 402 Two Breaks (1)
Cui Du stayed in the palace for two days and then returned to the farm.
Lu Cong came out to greet him somewhat unexpectedly, and joked in a low voice: "Prince Zheng and the other ministers haven't left yet, why did Mr. Cui come back so early?"
Two strong men All the powerful love rivals were in Nanyang Prince's Mansion, yet Cui Du went back to the farm just like that. Are you so confident in yourself and the princess?
Cui Du smiled casually and said: "The two distinguished guests are accompanied by the princess. It is useless for me to stay in the palace. I simply go back to the farm early. I will teach the new batch of farmers to manage the soil and cultivate it intensively."
Now that new grains have been promoted, almost all people can farm. However, the training classes in the farm did not stop. As usual, there is a batch of two months, and the learning content has increased a lot.
Lu Cong admired the big-hearted Mr. Cui very much, so he stopped talking and immediately went to arrange training matters. Mr. Cui is only responsible for attending classes and does not care about other trivial matters. Lu Cong is in the farm, and the most important thing is to coordinate and arrange the training of the farmers.
Zheng Chen and Wang Jin realized something was wrong after not seeing Cui Du for half a day. When he opened his mouth to ask, he realized that Cui Du had already returned to the farm.
Zheng Chen felt unhappy and sneered: "This Cui Du doesn't pay attention to you and me at all."
It is indeed an eyesore to wander around in front of his eyes. But to just leave without saying a word, clearly not taking them seriously, is even more heartbreaking.
Wang Jin sighed in a low voice: "Now I understand why the princess looked at him differently."
Jiang Shaohua is a person who does big things, and he is impatient of being sticky and attentive all day long. Cui Du kept his head down and worked diligently, which was more in line with Jiang Shaohua's wishes.
Zheng Chen heard the meaning of Wang Jin's words, and a chill flashed in his eyes: "Your evaluation of Cui Du is not low."
Wang Jin said seriously: "Put aside personal grudges Not to mention, Cui Du is indeed a capable minister. He only talks about the merit of growing new grains. , is enough to make people awe-inspiring."
Zheng Chen had nothing to say and snorted from his nose: "It's a pity that such a capable minister is only willing to be used by the princess. Showing kindness seems to be of no use.”
Wang Jin was gentle and humble in front of Jiang Shaohua, but he was not so low-key when talking to Zheng Chen. He retorted: "Such a capable minister can't show kindness too much. But you, you look sour, jealous and intolerable all day long. , uncomfortable.”
"If I remember correctly, the princess has never been hypocritical to you. Where did you get the confidence and confidence to put on such a face?"
Speaking of this reunion, Zheng Chen There is indeed something unusually impetuous and sharp about it. It was not like this when I was in the capital before.
Zheng Chen raised the corners of his lips coldly and said: "What I think and do is none of your business."
Then he walked away.
Wang Jin looked at Zheng Chen's leaving figure and confirmed again that something was indeed wrong with Zheng Chen.
……
The people who know you best are not your friends, but your opponents.
This sentence is absolutely true.
Zheng Chen is indeed particularly anxious.
After his rebirth, he did not do anything earth-shattering, but waited patiently like in his previous life. Waiting for everything to progress like in the previous life, waiting for the day when he will regain power.
But the situation gradually got out of control. Jiang Shaohua suddenly emerged and became the biggest variable in the court. Pingzhou was separatized by the rebel army, and now a plague broke out. The entire north was followed by chaos and turmoil. The troubled times were actually a few years earlier than in the previous life.
This feeling of losing control is really not good. He came to Nanyang County not only for personal affairs, but also for another hidden reason. He wanted to ask Jiang Shaohua personally, what exactly was she going to do?
This is also the last time he makes an effort for the old relationship between the two. Cui Du's sudden departure ignited the fire in Zheng Chen's heart. He didn't mean to avoid anyone, and went to the study room of Nanyang Prince's Mansion in full view of everyone: "Please tell me, I have something important to do and I want to see the princess."
Chen Jinyu outside the study frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
Is the princess someone you can meet if you want to?
She responded neither softly nor hard: "The princess is discussing government affairs with Chen Changshi, please wait a moment, Mr. Zheng."
Zheng Chen's eyes turned cold: "Is it right? It is up to the princess to decide whether to see me. Chen Sheren can just go in and report."
Chen Jinyu was not afraid of him, and said calmly: "The princess and Chang Shi are not finished discussing, please wait patiently."< br>
Zheng Chen was unhappy, but he couldn't force his way into the study and went to wait outside with an expressionless face.
This wait lasts for half an hour.
After Chen Changshi came out, Chen Jinyu went to pass the news. After a while, he slowly came over and invited Zheng Chen into the study.
Zheng Chen entered the study with a cold and handsome face.
In the spacious and bright study, in addition to Jiang Shaohua, there were also personal guards such as Song Yuan, Qin Hu, Meng Sanbao.
Zheng Chen opened his mouth directly: "I have something to say to the princess."
Jiang Shaohua glanced at him, turned around and ordered: "You all stand down." Seeing Song Yuan frowning, Jiang Shaohua smiled. Added: "With my skills, no one can hurt me."
That's true. Song Yuan then led his guards to retreat.
The heavy door finally closed.
Zheng Chen took a few steps forward and closed the distance between them to six feet. This is an extremely close distance.
Jiang Shaohua raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you have to say?"
Zheng Chen stared closely into Jiang Shaohua's eyes: "I should ask you this. Cousin Shaohua, you just Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
The two looked at each other, but there was no sense of unforgettable feelings. On the contrary, sparks were flying and tension was about to break out.
Jiang Shaohua said lightly: "This is so ridiculous. You insisted on coming to see me and tell me something. Why are you questioning me now?"
Zheng Chenjun His face sank slightly: "There are no other people here, just you and me. You don't have to act like a princess, you know I'm not afraid of you."
Jiang Shaohua twitched his lips sarcastically: "That's right. If I say I'm afraid, it's probably because I'm afraid of you, the future Prime Minister Zheng."
In his previous life, after Zheng Chen became the Prime Minister of Liang Dynasty, He monopolizes power and is even more ruthless and ruthless than Prime Minister Wang. Zheng Chen's words and deeds are particularly domineering and strong. I usually hold it back, but today I finally exposed it completely.
"With you here, it's really hard to say whether I can be prime minister again." Zheng Chen had no expression on his face, and his words were cold: "Let's not talk about the future for now, just talk about the present. Jiang Shaohua, you are secretly raising troops, sending people to promote new grains, recruiting hungry people, and even sending people to Pingzhou to treat the plague. What are you trying to do? ?”
Jiang Shaohua’s expression did not change: “The purpose of expanding the guard camp is to protect Nanyang County and protect the safety of Jingzhou. The purpose of promoting new grains is to feed the hungry people in the north, and to provide a way for the hungry people. A way to survive. Treating the plague is because the imperial court did nothing to allow the plague to run rampant, so I had to do it."
