Chapter 695: Li Jiancheng Is Also an Honor [Subscribe]

A flying pigeon flies in the blue sky on the road from Nanjing to Lushan. It carries the anxious mood of its new owner, as well as the overwhelming sadness and pain.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...The Queen Mother is too cruel..."

"Even if my master is not his direct grandson, he is still his biological grandson. How could she be so cruel and watch her biological grandson jump into the fire pit?"

"Aunt, why do you think the Queen Mother is so cruel and hard-hearted? If my master doesn't tell me, what about me? What about me?"

"When I married into the Chen family, although it was your aunt who came forward, it was the Empress Dowager who was behind the scenes. From the relationship between the Huang family, I still want to call her great aunt. She is my biological great aunt. Why? Just watch my family being destroyed?"

Xiao Huang burst into tears. A series of events had hit her so hard that her nerves were about to collapse.

Chen Gang didn't know who was inciting him to suddenly resign and run to Annan. Chen Gang didn't go to the Yamen for several days in a row, and he didn't know the news until Xiao Huang finally asked. You must know that Chen Gang has been vaguely suppressed a lot in recent years, not to mention that he himself is not a very capable person.

He has no ability and no vision. If he is not unlucky, who will be?

The emperor finally secured a title, but it was just so-so. In the officialdom, he was stuck at the third rank, deputy ministerial level, and had no real power.

Therefore, Xiao Huang seldom asked him about official affairs, for fear of irritating her husband's pride. But she never expected that Chen Gang would hand in his resignation letter without saying a word. When Xiao Huang found out, Chen Gang was not only ready to pack up and leave, but also sent out letters of invitation, inviting teachers, students and friends from the "old Confucian sect" to go south together to build their ideal country. country.

Although the three heroes are still fighting under the banner of "Qing", although the front line has captured Hanoi, the three heroes are still the governor's palace.

When Xiao Huang knew all this, people would go crazy.

In her eyes, if Chen Gang abandoned his current official position and went to Annan, he would be jumping into a pit of fire. No matter how powerful a third-rank official is, he is still a high-ranking official. What does Annan mean to him?

I don’t know if it was due to the suppression Chen Gang suffered over the years. Xiao Huang was very sensitive. She felt that even if Chen Gang went to Nan Ruan, it would be much better than going to Hanoi. Then she tried hard to persuade Chen Gang, but the latter refused to listen, so Xiao Huang went to find helpers, relatives and friends to persuade her. Almost no one agreed with Chen Gang's decision. But Chen Gang, who has become increasingly insignificant in the Chen-Han Empire, is a bastard who is determined to go to Hanoi.

Helpless, Xiao Huang went into the palace to ask for an audience with Mrs. Huang. But Mrs. Huang gave Chen Gang a piece of Ruyi the next day, and in an instant, Xiao Huang's volcano erupted. Mrs. Huang was just playing tricks on the tiger. When she saw Chen Gang going to a dead end, she not only refused to help him, but also pushed him along. "The old lady is too cruel..."

Princess Song, Chen Cong's wife, looked anxious and wiped her niece's tears with a handkerchief. Fortunately, she had asked everyone to leave beforehand. People outside heard these words and thought they were disrespectful to the old lady.

"It's not as serious as you think. Chen Gang is also the grandson of the old lady. How could the old lady watch him go to a dead end?"

Although Huang said this, the treatment Chen Gang suffered in the past few years has clearly told him that the suppression may not be obvious, but the suppression really does exist.

Chen Gang's identity, perhaps due to previous entanglements, has kept him depressed. Mrs. Huang also knew something that her niece didn't know. That was what the old lady in the palace told her: "Ms. Gao is such a good mother." The old lady attributed the vague suppression Chen Gang had suffered over the years to The same thing happened to the Empress Dowager. It is believed that it was Gao's interference that kept her two grandsons at odds.

As for Chen Gang's biological mother, she hasn't received the jade certificate yet.

In despair, Xiao Huang thought of the Supreme Emperor of Lushan, and Chen Gang lived a comfortable life for a few years when his father was in power. Regarding this matter, Xiao Huang felt that Chen Hui could dissuade Chen Gang.

It's just that Xiao Huang didn't know what her husband was thinking about this matter, and she didn't even know that her husband had already sent a secret message to Lu Shan.

Chen Gang's decision to submit his resignation was by no means an impulsive choice, but after repeated consideration.

Outsiders can't feel the 'depression', so why can't he feel it himself? Although Liu Wen, who is supposed to be the one, has been moving from the third-grade official position over the years, how can the power in Chen Gang's hands be compared with Liu Wen? The latter has already held the title of minister, and is a giant in the entire cultural and educational system, the one who holds the real power. Even the head of the department was very polite to Liu Wen. Of course, the top leader of the Ministry of Culture and Education was also very polite to Chen Gang, but this 'politeness' was different.

Chen Gang wants to make changes, and he is no longer young. Compared with those years ago, he is already very mature. He does not want to be chained to the Ministry of Culture and Education all the time, and is praised by everyone from top to bottom with a raise of hands. He hopes to be exposed to some practical things, lay a foundation for the future, and accumulate experience.

Chen Hui had told him a long time ago that although Chen Ming would not give him the title of king, he would give him a very good piece of land. Chen Gang is confident in his father's words, so he needs to get in touch with some practical work now to prepare for the future. He didn't want to behave like an old rich man in the country when he came to his own land one day, knowing nothing but farming.

"Do you really think I was impulsive? I have discussed this matter with my father a long time ago. My father supports my decision. This is not self-exile, nor is it jumping into a pit of fire, nor is it seeking death. I Everything we do now is for our future!”

In the main room of Chen Gang Mansion, all the servants are gone. Chen Gang drove them back, and then he dropped a letter in front of Xiao Huang.

Chen Gang's face was a little distorted, his expression was a little ferocious, and his expression was a little excited. Chen Gang is very excited now!

"The future of our family is not in Nanjing, but in North America. It is thousands of miles away in North America."

"I've always been at the Ministry of Culture and Education. What's the use of staying in Nanjing?"

"I should know how to govern a country."

"I will never get this opportunity in Nanjing. I have to go out. Go to Annan. Only there will I have the opportunity to face all difficulties. Only then will I have the possibility to face many difficulties in governing a country."

"Do you think this is simply a self-exile?"

"Do you think the current emperor will kill me, or Chen Jie, Yang Zhengjie, and Wu Xiongguang, who have been held in the palm of my good brother for a long time?"

"Do they dare?"

"No matter what happens, I am still Chen Ming's eldest brother, his half-brother. Who dares to touch me?"

Chen Gang knew his own weight very well. Of course he was a coward when facing Chen Ming, but to outsiders, in front of Chen Jie and the others, he was an absolute VIP.

The 'support' crisis triggered by Chen Gang cost him a lot of money, but if this money can be exchanged for his real governance experience - what else can give people more experience than 'reforming' against one force? Woolen cloth?

Although Chen Gang disapproved of this damned 'Dream of Great Harmony' from the bottom of his heart. He felt that this was more like the three heroes clearing local obstacles for Chen Han to go south. But since Chen Jie and the others were willing to commit suicide, the three heroes had already considered the causes and consequences. This was not a hasty decision made in a short period of time, but was made after more than half a year of hesitation, and the three forces were listed together. If there was no collusion between them, Chen Gang would not believe it.

Xiao Huang's crying stopped.

She looked at her husband with some fear. She really hadn't thought about this. Women, except for a few variations in the sky, most women are not political animals, especially Xiao Huang, who has been deliberately avoiding these problems these years.

Her eyes cannot see the distant future. The fiefdom in North America only exists in her dreams, and Xiao Huang has never thought about how to build it after she obtains the fiefdom. In her mind, a fiefdom meant being noble and above all others. It seemed that all the honor and power she longed for came to her in the blink of an eye.

She will have the most gorgeous palace, with countless people worshiping her respectfully, but she has never thought about how to build it...

"You have seen everything I have experienced in the past few years. In Nanjing, I really didn't have any chance." What does it mean to be a third-rank official who is used as a memorial tablet?

Even if he is to be responsible for cultural and educational work in a province, he would rather be a brand in Nanjing city.

"There will be no danger in going to Annan. You can rest assured on this point. They don't dare to hurt me. On the contrary, they will do everything possible to protect my safety."

“There I will be exposed to everything I want to be exposed to and learn how to build a country.”

"I, Chen Gang, are by no means an incompetent person. I can do everything that my second uncle, Chen Quan, Chen Min, Chen Guang, and Chen Liang can do. ... It's just that they don't give me this opportunity."

"Have you forgotten the rumor from back then?"

"My father, Li Yuan, is alive, and the current emperor is Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who conquers the world. Who do they say I am? Li Jiancheng. But my 'Li Jiancheng' only has an identity, not an ability."

"Wen Daya, a famous official in the early Tang Dynasty, said: The prince and the king are all endowed with sage strategy. They spend money on charity and humble themselves as lowly officials. If you catch a disciple with a lot of hair, you will be raised in prison. Every skill can be praised and every skill can be achieved. It is not a bad idea to fight against the etiquette. Yun Juan. Therefore, it is impossible to win the hearts of scholars and common people."

"How does Master Wang evaluate Li Jiancheng? Although Taiyuan was started by the King of Qin, its achievements will have an impact on Chang'an. Although the achievements are not achieved, they will continue to work together and work together." These evaluations are very high. "But what about a hundred years later when I, Chen Gang, will be sealed in a coffin? Can I have such an evaluation? What have I done?"

"I have never led troops in a war, and I can't talk about cooperating. I can only be regarded as a small clerk under my father's account."

"The "Old Tang Book: Jiancheng Biography" says that after Jiancheng became the crown prince, "Gaozu was worried that he was not good at political writing. Every time he ordered him to study current affairs, since it was not a major military matter, he would make a decision." That is to let Li Jiancheng take charge of daily life. Government, learning to be an emperor. Even if the history books are revised according to the tune set by Taizong Li Shimin, we can't find out how bad Jiancheng was in politics at this time. On the contrary, we can know that Jiancheng's experience in this area is at least better than that of Emperor Taizong. Li Shimin is much richer."

"Now I am not even worthy of the three words 'Li Jiancheng'. And the current emperor's great achievements are beyond the reach of even Li Shimin."

In the history of China, even if the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties are included, the territory of Chen and Han today is the most vast, right?

"I don't want to leave a reputation in future youth history that is worse than even that of Li Jiancheng."

"No matter what kind of reform Annan is, I will be deeply involved in it and accumulate enough experience for the future."

"Our future country may not be as large as the current imperial court, but it will definitely be rich, stable, peaceful and healthy." Unconsciously, a small obsession took root in Chen Gang's mind and has now grown into a small tree. In his heart, he has never given up the idea of ​​competing with Chen Ming.

Sometimes Chen Gang would think to himself that if Chen Hui had not adopted him out, he might really become the prince. That is because he is definitely not Li Jiancheng, and he will never let Chen Ming become Li Shimin. This vast country, this powerful empire, will be ruled by him. Although Chen Gang knew very well when he woke up that this was impossible. Unless he can change his biological mother, unless he can become a legitimate son...

And sometimes Chen Gang's beautiful dream will be awakened in a sea of ​​blood and swords. Some of them were Chen Ming who led an army and attacked Lushan, just like Li Shimin, the Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, who killed his brother and imprisoned his father; some of them were his delusions known by Chen Ming, and then Shi Meng and Liu Wu, the two eagle claws, led the imperial guards and the inner guards to attack his mansion...

At that time, Chen Gang would always break out in a cold sweat.

"No matter how bad it is, I will be Li Jiancheng, not Li Zhiyun, Li Yuanjing, Li Yuanchang, and other sons of Li Yuan whose names are unknown."

In these years of depression and frustration, Chen Gang has read a lot of books. Especially the biographies of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin, he can recite them by heart.

Li Yuan's sons are not only Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, nor are they Li Yuanji and Li Yuanba, who are also famous, and there is also Li Pingyang who married Chai Shao. Li Yuan's children together have more than 40 people, including 22 sons and 19 daughters.

But how many of them are passed down in history and novels?

Only five.

Sad, sad. At that time, Chen Gang knew that "Li Jiancheng" was also an honor. Countless people put him together with the wise and brave Li Er, which was the greatest compliment to a person.

Chen Gang held his breath in his heart. Even if he was frustrated and could not compare with Li Shimin, he would become "Li Jiancheng" and leave his name in history. Instead of being unknown like the remaining dozen sons of Li Yuan.

Imagine that if the story of the Chen family's uprising became a legend passed down by word of mouth in the future, and he, Chen Gang, became Liu Bang's eldest brother and second brother, ignored by the masses, or even ridiculed, how sad it would be.

Chen Gang clenched his fists, his eyes sparkling, he had already contacted a group of people. Presumably this can also help Chen Ming a lot...
