Chapter 149
Chen Yunxian poured a cup of tea, "I asked you to subdue the Mei family, but I didn't say when."
"Brother, do you want me to subdue them later?" Chen Yun said thoughtfully, "After I become an official?"
"You only need to bear a name now. After you become an official, they will naturally be your help." Chen Yunxian said.
Hearing this, Chen Yun pondered for a moment, "Brother wants me to go to the Ministry of Industry?"
"I think you are very interested in these things." Chen Yunxian smiled and said, "It suits you."
With him under his cover, Chen Yunjue only needs to do what he wants to do.
Chen Yun thought about it, the Ministry of Industry is really a good place for him.
The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rituals, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry, although the Ministry of Industry is ranked at the bottom, this department plays a significant role.
When it comes to water conservancy, civil engineering, ordnance, minerals, textiles, etc., it just so happens that Chen Yun still has a lot of ideas. When he came to the Ministry of Industry, he had room to display them.
In other departments, Chen Yunzhen really didn't have the confidence to do practical things.
Sea-going ships happen to be under the supervision of the Ministry of Industry.
"Brother is bothering you." Chen Yun said with a smile.
In order to find a place where he could display his abilities, his elder brother must have spent a lot of effort.
Chen Yunxian smiled lightly, "It's a trivial matter, I don't need to worry about it."
"When will you leave for the Royal Hunting Garden?"
Chen Yunxian said, "In previous years, autumn festivals were mostly held in July and August, and the hunting garden will be obtained before August, and the departure will be at the end of the month at the latest."
The Royal Hunting Garden is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the emperor's travel is even more cumbersome. By the time the Royal Hunting Garden arrives, it may be the end of July.
After hearing the words, Chen Yun had a bottom line in his heart, "What should I do to prepare?"
"Just take your Liuyun bow." Chen Yunxian said with a smile.
Chen Yun was startled when he heard the words, "This...isn't this cheating?"
Chen Yun had already told his brother about the effect of the Liuyun Bow. Anyone who uses this bow can hit a hundred shots with a hundred hits.
Chen Yunxian said with a smile, "Although anyone can use this bow with perfect accuracy, not everyone can draw it. You have practiced martial arts since childhood, and your skills are extraordinary. You have great strength. If someone else is born with supernatural power, otherwise It is impossible to draw this bow."
When he knew the function of this bow back then, he pulled it but never pulled it away.
Although Chen Yunxian is good at literature, he is not a weak scholar. He is also good at horseback riding and archery. He has a lot of strength, but he can't draw this bow. Even with all his strength, he can't draw this bow.
But his younger brother, when he was still in the academy, could easily draw the bow.
"I know I can't pull this bow if I don't have the strength..." Chen Yun excused, "Even if I don't use this bow, my arrow skills are not bad. Why does my brother insist that I take the Liuyun Bow?"
"This year's autumn is different from previous years. The emperor plans to set up a ring in this autumn. The person with the most prey will be the top prize. As for the reward, the emperor allows the person who wins the top prize to mention it himself." Chen Yunxian said.
As the emperor's confidant, Chen Yunxian knew only the latest news.
But Chen Yun also felt that the emperor would set up a ring, most likely because of his elder brother's instigation.
"Why does the emperor want to compete in the arena on a whim?" Chen Yun asked, staring at his brother.
Chen Yunxian said frankly, "I suggested it."
Chen Yunjue: "..."
Really, it is also strong to be unreasonable.
"Brother, aren't you afraid that the emperor will know your selfish intentions?" Chen Yun asked with a headache.
Chen Yunxian smiled and said, "Don't you know that you are the emperor?"
Hearing this, Chen Yun was startled, "Does the emperor know all about it?"
"Maybe the emperor doesn't know about the Mei family, but the emperor knows that you are good at martial arts. The competition is my suggestion. Letting you participate in the hunting is also my request to the emperor. Of course the emperor knows that I am helping you." Chen Yunxian drank After taking a sip of tea, he said leisurely.
He has done a lot of things for the emperor in these years, and the emperor is willing to give him this face.
As for whether Chen Yun could support it, it was up to him.
Chen Yun's heart felt hot when he heard it, "Brother..."
"Okay, don't act like a child. Although the Liuyun bow is perfect, you can't slack off yourself." Chen Yunxian said.
"I see, brother."
Coming out of the elder brother's yard, Chen Yun returned to Xiao Yu'er's yard.
It was still a few days before leaving for the Royal Hunting Garden, but Chen Yun was not in a hurry, he practiced martial arts every day, and then went to the Lin family to teach.
As for the evidence of the Mei family, his elder brother has already prepared it, and he only needs to present it to the imperial court.If Biquku couldn't eat as much food as he was fed, then he was a waste.
As for why his eldest brother made such a fuss, it was probably for the sake of the Mei family.
Tell them that it was him, Chen Yunjue, who helped.
Although it may not be effective, it is a signal that Chen Yunxian is unwilling to bear this kind of favor.
Chen Yunjue didn't care whether the Mei family was grateful to him or not. His elder brother's plan had never been miscalculated.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of June, and the day to set off for the royal hunting ground was just around the corner.
Today, Chen Yun borrowed to teach Lin Rui brothers to read, and Dai Yu was also here.
After Chen Yun had finished his class and assigned his homework, he and Dai Yu went to the study.
"Brother Yunjue, you are leaving tomorrow. I went to the Huguo Temple to ask for an amulet, so you can take it." Daiyu gave the small wooden box in her hand to Chen Yunjue.
Chen Yun borrowed it, opened it, took it out, and said with a smile, "I will wear it with you because of Yu'er's kindness."
"Stop talking..." Daiyu glared at him, "Be careful when hunting, don't be reckless."
"I'll pay attention."
"That's good."
Lin Ruhai was also on the hunt this time.
However, when going hunting with the emperor, the subjects were not allowed to bring their family members.
I heard that the emperor is going to take his concubines to the hunting grounds, but this is also a common occurrence, not unusual.
After returning from the Lin Mansion, I had a good night's sleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Chen Yun didn't practice martial arts anymore, because he had to queue up early.
Although they were going to participate in the autumn festival, they were not in a hurry. At the end of July, the group finally arrived at the Royal Hunting Garden.
Next to the Royal Hunting Garden is a palace, where the emperor lives and other officials live in tents.
After two days of rest, the hunt officially began.
According to the rules, the emperor was required to shoot the first arrow, but before the arrow was shot this time, the emperor publicly said that he would set up a ring. This ring is not for people to compete in the ring, but for shooting and hunting. The hunting usually lasts for more than 20 days. Whoever has the most prey is the first.Since it is a competition, there are naturally prizes.
The emperor allowed the first name to be mentioned by himself.
As soon as the rules of this competition came out, the people who participated in the hunting were very excited.
This reward is equivalent to a promise from the emperor, who wouldn't be excited?
If this is an exam, Chen Yunju is the one who got the exam questions ahead of time.
Chen Yunzhuo didn't use the Liuyun Bow at first, he wanted to see where his level was.
He has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he often goes hunting with his friends in the suburbs of Beijing. His shooting skills are not bad, and now he is at home in the Royal Hunting Garden.He only shoots when he is aiming, and he has never missed a shot all day long.
When it was time to count the prey, Chen Yun got the first place of the day without any suspense, which attracted the attention of many people.
Most of the people who came to participate in the hunting this time were the sons of nobles, and many of them were proficient in shooting and hunting, but they still lost to Chen Yunzhu.
For three consecutive days, Chen Yunjue was number one.
After finding out the details of these people, Chen Yunjue was not polite, and took out the Liuyun Bow.
The hunt lasted for more than 20 days, and Chen Yunjue won the first place for more than [-] days.
On the day when the hunt ended, Chen Yunjue was naturally the undisputed No.1.
"You are Chen Yunju? I have heard of you." The emperor still has a deep impression of Chen Yunju.
Chen Yunjue knelt in front of the emperor, "The student is exactly Chen Yunjue."
"Your elder brother has praised you more than once in front of me. When I saw you today, you are indeed a young talent with both civil and military skills." The emperor is now in a good mood.
It can be seen that he is the Lord of Destiny. When he was the emperor, not only would he be able to produce a large number of ministers, but he would also have these amazing young talents as candidates.
"The emperor won the award, but the students dare not be."
"There is no need to be modest. You are the leader of this hunting competition. I have promised you a long time ago. What reward do you want?"
Chen Yun was very calm, cupped his hands and said, "The student would like to ask Your Majesty to retry the case of the Mei family's rebellion."
The emperor was taken aback when he heard the words, he had an impression of the case of Mei's rebellion.
Two years after his father's enthronement, there were constant wars along the coast. Wu Tianyou was a student of the old man of the Mei family. Not only did he personally stand up to impeach the Mei family for colluding with foreign thieves, he also produced a lot of evidence.
In fact, he felt very strange at the time.
The Mei family is a prominent family in Fujian. They have lived in Fujian for generations. Most of the warships of the imperial court were made by the Mei family. The Mei family may have some family secrets. The warships have been improved by the Mei family, and they have been improved every time. .
The Mei family has never been involved in the struggle for the heir apparent, and they have been pure ministers for generations. He does not believe that his family has colluded with foreign thieves from Southeast Asia.
But he was only a prince at that time, and he had no right to speak at all. At that time, the war in Nanyang was tense, and the navy was defeated. His father was angry. At this time, Wu Tianyou stood up to impeach the Mei family for collusion with foreign enemies, and presented evidence , Said that the Mei family leaked the structure of the warship, which made the navy lose the battle.
At that time, his father was angry, the evidence was well-founded, and the Mei family was sent to prison.
It was Tai Fu Yan who gave up his face to beg His Majesty to save the Mei family's life, but it was only to save their lives. The Mei family's house was ransacked and the whole family was exiled.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, someone would come forward to reverse the case for the Mei family.
You must know that Wu Tianyou is currently in a high position, and with his status as a foreign relative, he is firmly in the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and the official residence is from the first rank.
If there is any wink, you have to wait for Wu Tianyou to retire before filing the case.
The emperor is not a fool either, he looked at Chen Yunxian, then at Chen Yunju.
The two brothers were obviously well prepared.
"Zizi is ignorant, so the Mei family is in vain, and the evidence of rebellion is solid, so what else can we investigate?"
Wu Tianyou is both the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and the father of the imperial concubine, so he naturally followed during the hunt.
Just now Chen Yunjue proposed to retry the Mei family case, he didn't react at first, but the emperor's sudden silence reminded him of the good deeds he did back then, and he couldn't wait to reprimand Chen Yunjue immediately.
Chen Yunxian smiled softly, "Speaking of which, Mr. Mei was still Wu Shangshu's mentor back then. Why did Wu Shangshu insist on killing them all? Could it be that there is a ghost in his heart?"
"Chen Yunxian, don't talk nonsense." Wu Tianyou was very afraid of Chen Yunxian.
Although Chen Yunxian is young, he is an extremely difficult opponent.
Chen Yunxian didn't know that Wu Tianyou thought he was a difficult opponent, otherwise he would have to laugh.
To be his opponent?You deserve it too?
"In the case of the Mei family's rebellion, the emperor also met with the late emperor. Please forgive me. The emperor must also feel that the Mei family has been wronged?" It was not Chen Yunxian who spoke, but Chen Puhe.
Both are six ministers, Chen Pu and Nian Lao do not participate in the hunting, but he is in a high position, so he still has to accompany the hunting.
