Chapter 10, Seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times

"Go back, we have already met," Chen Shuyi leaned closer to Yang Ming, her voice barely above a whisper

However, Grandfather Yang Jian was exceptionally formidable. In light of his governing strategy for Jiangnan, he fabricated a reason that Xiao Shilue was coerced, thereby granting a special pardon to Xiao Mohe. This move was intended to reassure the gentry of the south and the civil and military officials of the old Chen dynasty; otherwise, the repercussions would be too extensive, easily inciting unrest in Jiangnan again

Beyond the imperial city lies Guocheng, which is also known as Daxing City

Having finished speaking, Yang Ming turned and left

Yang Ming said: "Chen Shuyi is now a female official in this royal residence, and in the future, she will accompany me to the fief of Hedong. I will ensure her well-being for the rest of her life."

Shen Wuhua covered her face and wept bitterly, unable to make a sound.

The closer she got to Pingkangfang, the more anxious Chen Shuyi became. Ever since the fall of the Chen dynasty, she had not seen her biological parents even once.

Da Ban Xu Jing drove a carriage, accompanied by the guards, heading towards Pingkangfang, where there was a residence that Yang Jian had bestowed upon Chen Shubao

So it was him? Yang Ming nodded and said: This year, at the beginning of the year, Xiao Moke's son rebelled and caused chaos in Jiangnan, do you know about it?

Do not make me ask a second time, nor let me hear insincere words

After nearly ten years, the two still recognized their daughter at a glance

Shuyi

It is easy to imagine how formidable it is

Yang Ming could not help but ask: "Who did you learn your martial arts from?"

Yang Ming said, "You are now mine. How many guts does Yu Wen Shu have to dare to touch you? As for the matter with Father, I will speak on your behalf, as long as you are obedient and compliant, I will ensure your safety. Now, tell me in detail how you came to know that you were being used"

Chen Shuyi sighed softly and said

Intelligent yet wicked and brutal, eager to engage in conflict with others, indulging in lewdness and filth, committing all manner of wrongdoing, this is the foremost of the three evils

The Chen Shuyi before me does not understand the intricacies of politics

Yang Ming said: "Xiao Mo Ke is the General of the Cavalry of the Old Chen, known for his unparalleled bravery. Since he is your master, it is likely that you are not far behind him in prowess"

Chen Shuyi was taken aback: "You ... ... "

Daxing City was subsequently known as Tang Chang'an, which was 2.4 times larger than Han Chang'an and 1.4 times larger than the Ming and Qing Beijing. It was the largest city in the world at that time

His father is stationed in Jiangnan, does he not know whether Xiao Shilue has truly rebelled or not

Is Yang Ming talking nonsense? Not at all

To the west is Chang'an County, to the east is Daxing County, both of which belong to Jingzhao Commandery

Chen Shuyi continued, "I am certain that I cannot return to the Yuwen residence. Yuwen Shu is definitely thinking about how to kill me and silence me. His Highness's father will probably not let me go either"

I don't know!" Chen Shuyi replied coldly

... ...

These three dogs must be killed. Although Yang Ming believes he cannot persuade Yang Guang, there are at least some bastards that he can still find a way to deal with.

"Master," Chen Shuyi said

A group of people left the palace

There is no way, it is winter, he is not sitting in an air-conditioned car with * pictures *, but rather in a cabin with airflow from both sides

Behind him, Chen Shubao's expression was blank; after a long while, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground

It seemed that at a moment, he suddenly realized that his biological daughter, whom he had always been afraid to meet, was actually the one who weighed most heavily on his heart

Xiao Mokai was the General of Cavalry of the Old Chen dynasty, and after the fall of Chen, he submitted to the Sui dynasty

There is a Chinese proverb that goes, "Hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once." This saying is derived from "Hearing a thousand times is not as good as seeing once," and it describes the martial arts skills of Xiao Mo Ke

Although Yang Ming does not hold actual power, he bears the surname Yang, and his father controls the entire Jiangnan region. In terms of influence, it is not smaller than that of Chen Shubao during his reign as emperor

Chen Shuyi stood right behind Yang Ming, unwilling to take another step forward. Her graceful figure trembled slightly, clearly making a great effort to restrain herself

Yang Ming's expression changed suddenly, you little girl are too proud, who do you think you are? Do you think I am easy to talk to?

However, this is certainly something that one would not dare to say out loud

The next day, Chen Shuyi, as a female official, reported early at the Ministry of Internal Affairs and received the entry and exit tokens

Your Highness... some of the old servants in the palace are now crying and kneeling on the ground, weeping in unison

Even if Chen Shubao dislikes his daughter, she is still his only legitimate child

Yang Ming sat in the carriage, cradling the hand warmer that Wan Dong had handed him, draped in a fluffy bear fur coat

Yang Ming furrowed his brows and turned to look at her. This former Princess Chen had a very complex expression on her face at that moment, clearly struggling to hold back.

Corruption and greed are rampant, and there is a disregard for the law, with actions being frivolous. If it were not for Yu Wenshu, he would have long been imprisoned and prosecuted by the authorities

Yang Ming was not particularly concerned, after all, this Princess Chen was also born into a noble family and was accustomed to being in a position of authority since childhood

It is also boring to be idle on the road, so Yang Ming asked again: "What do you think of the Yu Wen brothers, how are they as people?"

Yang Ming smiled and waved his hand behind him, prompting Chen Shuyi to turn around and leave immediately

Chen Shuyi said coldly: "Xiao Moke"

A servant was summoned to report that Chen Shubao, accompanied by his wife Shen Wuhua and a number of children and concubines, was lined up in the front courtyard to welcome Yang Ming

Chen Shuyi lowered her head, biting her teeth tightly and remaining silent

Yang Ming cursed Yu Wen Shi in his heart. Although he did not have a deep emotional connection with his sister who was far away in Jiangdu, the nonsense that Yu Wen Lao San was involved in was indeed very frustrating

Chen Shuyi let out a cold laugh and was almost about to say: Isn't it a piece of cake to deal with you?

Any noble from the Guanlong region can stand on Chen Shubao's head and defecate; the victor takes all, and the vanquished are left with nothing. This is the harsh reality

In the future, the three dogs are greatly favored by their father, each attaining increasingly higher official positions, yet these three ingrates actually committed regicide

He is cunning and shrewd, adept at reading people's words and expressions, unfeeling and ungrateful, yet he has not committed any serious wrongdoing

In contrast, Chen Shuyi seems to be completely unfazed, merely draped in a cotton cloak, her back straight and her gaze directed inward, seemingly lost in thought.

Chen Shuyi finally raised her head, frowning as she looked at Yang Ming: "The Supreme has already confirmed that Xiao Shilue was coerced, and the General (Xiao Moke) was in Daxing at that time, do not speak nonsense."

Who is your master

Regardless of whether they are nobles or commoners, only those born of legitimate lineage are considered to possess true blood inheritance, with their status always elevated above that of illegitimate offspring; this is a deeply ingrained belief among them

Upon hearing her response, the two maids, Warm Winter and Cool Summer, could not help but exchange glances. It seems that this deposed princess still does not understand her own status; how could a servant speak to her master in such a manner

No! He has done it, Yang Ming thought to himself: This kid will marry my sister in the future, and she is my own sister.

Yang Ming believes he has figured out how to deal with her

To the south of the palace city lies the imperial city, where various institutions are located. The offices of the three provinces and six ministries, along with various government offices, are situated here

Even so, he still feels cold

The false smiles that the couple had originally plastered on their faces could no longer be maintained the moment they saw Chen Shuyi

The entire city is divided into two parts, east and west, with Zhuque Avenue, which runs north to south, serving as the central axis

Generally acceptable, but not enough to match the master.

The "Your Highness" they spoke of was clearly not referring to Yang Ming

The Imperial Guard dispatched two teams of elite guards, totaling forty individuals, to ensure the safety of Yang Ming in Daxing

Although she is in Daxing, they are also in Daxing with the books

Chen Shubao can now be considered as living under someone else's roof. Although Yang Jian occasionally invites him to attend some court banquets and they may clink glasses during the feasts, it does not change the fact that Chen Shubao has no status whatsoever

After murdering his father in Jiangdu, Yuwen Shi abandoned his wife and sought refuge with Li Yuan, subsequently marrying a woman from Li Yuan's clan, living a very comfortable life in the latter half of his life

Uncle Chen lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the face of his legitimate daughter. This historically renowned and flamboyant emperor now revealed a sense of desolation and melancholy, akin to a tiger fallen to the plains.

Do you see? This is someone who responds to force but not to softness. When he was kidnapped, he wasn't afraid of death at all, was he? After ten days of training in the Yeting Palace, does he now understand what fear is?

Uncle Chen finally spoke, his voice choked with emotion and tears streaming down his face, but his daughter had already left without looking back

"I beg you..." With a tone of pleading, Chen Shuyi's eyes were filled with tears, ready to overflow at any moment

Currently, Chen Baobao and his wife Shen Wuhua reside there, and the number of household servants and maids is in accordance with the county lord's standards, totaling around one hundred or so, which can be considered as living without worries regarding food and clothing

Chen Shuyi gritted her teeth and struggled for a while, but ultimately gave up her resistance and said: "Your Highness, forgive me, it is Shuyi who has been disrespectful"

Get lost

"Who are you?" Yang Ming asked sternly

Yang Ming's expression darkened as he said: "I went to great lengths to speak on your behalf in front of the Empress, securing your release from the charge of coercing this prince, yet you are even unwilling to address me as Your Highness? Should I then throw you into the Yeting Palace to serve as a laborer?"
