Chapter 456: Going to the grassland as an envoy? Isn't that going to die?
When Emperor Dajing heard what Cai Jing said, his face suddenly changed!
He was thinking about what kind of position he should give Jiang Chen!
Now, he hadn't expected that Cai Jing would come!
Although Cai Jing is very ambitious, sometimes he is really a worm in his stomach!
Be sensible!
"Lord Cai, tell me what you think!"
Emperor Dajing asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, I think that Marquis Jingyuan is a rare talent who is both civil and military!"
"Our court should reuse you!"
"Now, the negotiations between Dakang and the grassland have not been concluded, and Jingyuan Hou once defeated the grassland!"
"Your Majesty, why not send Marquis Jingyuan to the grassland as an envoy to be in charge of the grassland negotiations!"
"I believe that with the prestige of Marquis Jingyuan, he will surely make Cao Yuan retreat!"
"Maybe, we can spend a lot less on food and grass!"
Cai Jing said seriously.
When Emperor Dajing heard this, he was also very happy!
"Yes! How could I have forgotten about this!"
"If Marquis Jingyuan goes to the grassland to negotiate, it might really have a miraculous effect!"
"Lord Cai is indeed smart!"
In the eyes of Emperor Dajing, the people of the grassland should be afraid of Jiang Chen.
After all, Jiang Chen defeated them completely.
And since he let Jiang Chen be the envoy, he didn't need to give Jiang Chen military power!
From then on, Jiang Chen naturally became a civil official!
This... kills two birds with one stone!
But Emperor Dajing had no idea how dangerous Cai Jing's plan was!
There are countless people on the grassland today who want to kill Jiang Chen!
Once Jiang Chen goes to the grassland, it is uncertain whether he can come back alive!
The reason why Cai Jing made this suggestion was that he wanted to use Cao Yuan's hand to get rid of Jiang Chen, the thorn in his side!
……
Soon, Eunuch Zhang learned the news.
Eunuch Zhang's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Let Jiang Chen go to the grassland as an envoy!?"
"Haha, Cai Jing, you really can think of this!"
Eunuch Zhang now wants to crush Cai Jing to death.
However, Emperor Dajing had already agreed, and he had no power to change it!
However, General Luo and his men are on the grassland, so Jiang Chen should not die if he goes there, right?
At the same time, Jiang Chen was in his new house.
Looking at this mansion, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh: "This mansion, in the capital, probably needs a lot of money!"
"Your Majesty, you are so willing to give me this!"
"Haha, Lord Marquis, this mansion actually has a connection with you!" Xu Meng said with a faint smile.
"Hmm? Are you related to me?"
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, not understanding what Xu Meng meant.
"My Lord, you don't know that this mansion...was once owned by Murong." Xu Meng said in a deep voice.
When Jiang Chen heard Xu Meng's words, he understood instantly!
Murong!
That means, this house was once the house of Murong Yan’s family!
Unexpectedly, he not only married Murong Yan, but also got the Murong family mansion!
"My Lord! There's someone at the door asking to see you!"
Just then, a guard walked in.
"who?"
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
He doesn't have many acquaintances in the capital, right?
"Your Excellency, it's the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Lord Luo Ye!"
"Luo Ye?"
When Jiang Chen heard this name, he was immediately delighted!
He remembered that Luo Ye was the fifth adopted son of General Luo.
That is his elder brother!
But why is Luo Ye here now?
Shouldn't Luo Ye avoid suspicion at this time?
……
Soon, Jiang Chen came to the door and saw Luo Ye.
"Lord Luo!"
"Lord Jiang!"
After the two met, they began to compliment each other politely.
After all, this is at the door, so they still have to be careful.
However, after Jiang Chen brought Luo Ye to the study, the two of them immediately changed their expressions.
"Fifth brother, why are you here?"
"You should know the rumors in Jiangnan now. His Majesty is not sure about my attitude. If you come to me so blatantly, I'm afraid... it will be disadvantageous to you!"
After sitting down in the study, Jiang Chen said with a worried look on his face.
"Haha, don't worry, Ninth Brother. The more blatantly I come, the less likely His Majesty will suspect me!"
"Besides, I came here this time because I have something important to tell you!"
Luo Ye said with a faint smile.
However, when it comes to important matters, Luo Ye's face turned gloomy!
"Fifth brother, what's the urgent matter?"
"Your Majesty, you won't really believe the rumors and attack me, right?!"
Jiang Chen looked worried.
Even though he had made countless preparations, he was still afraid that His Majesty would take action!
As the saying goes, the mind of an emperor is hard to predict. Who knows...what the emperor will do?
"Don't worry, Ninth Brother. His Majesty probably has no intention of taking action. However... the latest news I received is that Cai Jing and His Majesty suggested sending you to the grassland as an envoy!"
"Your Majesty, he should have agreed!" Luo Ye said with a worried look on his face.
"What!?"
Jiang Chen felt like crying but had no tears when he heard this!
Letting him go to the grassland as an envoy, isn't that sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth? ?
The people of the grassland hate him to death!
The first thing you do when you see him is to kill him!
……
"Ninth brother, this matter... should have been confirmed, so... I hurried to inform you."
"Although it's full of dangers for you to go to the grassland, your godfather and others are at the border, so... nothing should happen, right?" Luo Ye said uncertainly.
"should!?"
Jiang Chen was speechless.
"Fifth brother, you know what I did to the grassland people!"
"Those grassland people are now eager to chop me into pulp!"
"I……"
Jiang Chen was really convinced!
It’s a good thing that His Majesty Dajing could think of this!
Let him go to the grassland as an envoy!
"Ninth brother, don't be too pessimistic. If you can negotiate things through on the grassland, you will definitely have smooth sailing when you enter the officialdom!"
"It's unlikely that you'll be able to be a military commander, but... you can be a civil official!"
"I think the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel are both very suitable!" Luo Ye comforted.
"Hey, Fifth Brother, don't think too much. Let's talk about it when I return to the grassland alive..."
Jiang Chen said bitterly.
"Hahaha, ninth brother, why do you have to do this? My foster father knew that you would be worried, so he gathered some of his personal guards together. There are a total of twenty of them, and they are all first-class fighters!"
"Take it with you when you leave, and it will keep you safe on the road!"
"As for when we get to the grassland, your foster father will protect you!"
Luo Ye said, patting Jiang Chen on the shoulder.
Jiang Chen saw that the matter was done and had no choice but to accept it.
However, I don’t know if His Majesty the Emperor will summon him before he leaves!
After sending Luo Ye away, Jiang Chen felt very upset.
Not long after Luo Ye left, Jiang Chen received a message from Eunuch Zhang, asking him to go to Eunuch Zhang's residence in the evening.
It seems that Eunuch Zhang should have also known the news.
I don’t know if Eunuch Zhang can help him…
