Chen Yichen's words were like a sharp blade piercing into Zhu Ji's heart. He had fantasized about defeating the other party countless times and letting Chen Yichen kneel down in front of him, but he never expected that he would be defeated in the end and lose so much!

To be honest, Zhu Ji didn't believe it from the beginning. Chen Yichen would have letters to contact Washu in his hand. After all, with Taishi Yesen's strategy and Washune's vigilance in the capital, it was impossible to keep such things in his hand and wait for the future to become a presentation.

But Chen Yichen's long-term strategy and oppression made Zhu Ji dare not gamble on the authenticity of the letters, and could only seize the only opportunity to damage them before submitting them to the emperor.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yichen had no letter at all, and Zhu Ji could not predict that this son actually dared to deceive the emperor in front of the emperor.

Against the backdrop, I am indeed like a clown who is being played with!

"I am willing to accept the loss by betting, but Chen Yichen, don't think you will win now. Your fate will not be much better than mine in the future!"

Zhu Ji, who pressed on the ground, cursed viciously about Chen Yichen who mocked him, but this behavior was more like incompetent fury.

"Drag this person to me, and the Censorate will join hands with the Three Justice Departments to convict and sentence them!"

Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and ordered the Jinyiwei and Jinwuwei to escort Zhu Ji from Fengtian Hall.

The "congratulations" for the first day of the court meeting was originally full of joy, which predicted good weather and prosperity in the new year, and peace and prosperity. However, military disasters and civil strife caused Zhu Qiyu to feel bad and felt a little bored.

Compared with the waves of the previous dynasty, the wife in the harem seemed much more harmonious with the "congratulations" of the Empress Dowager Sun. Even like Chen Yichen's guess before entering the palace, this time, the Empress Dowager Sun not only did not make things difficult for Chen Qingtong, but was also very polite and intimate.

And as the etiquette came to an end, Empress Dowager Sun called Chen Qingtong alone to the side hall, where the Supreme Empress Qian sat.

"I have met the Queen Mother and Queen."

Chen Qingtong saluted respectfully, and was still a little nervous about this scene, not because she was afraid that Empress Dowager Sun would do something.

After all, with his status as the only daughter of Hou Taining and his husband's current status in the court, Empress Dowager Sun could no longer make any outrageous punishment. On the contrary, Chen Qingtong had a premonition that this time he met alone might be related to his husband, and there would be a very difficult scene.

"Ai's family meets in private. Mrs. Chen needs to be polite to her mother, so let's sit down first."

After saying politely, Empress Dowager Sun pointed to an empty seat next to her.

"Mrs. Thank you."

Chen Qingtong bowed and then sat in the seat with a dignified manner. He did not have the fear and restraint of ordinary women meeting the empress dowager and the queen alone.

"Mrs. Chen, this time the Ai family summoned you to come, but there was something to ask for."

"Why did the Empress Dowager say this? I dare not take it."

"No, only Mrs. Chen can do this. Please finish the Ai family."

Queen Mother Sun had to say this, Chen Qingtong could only nod and said, "Yes, Queen Mother."

At this moment, Empress Dowager Sun sighed long before saying, "Shanghuang Tumu Fort fought in the north and did not return to the north. In the words of ordinary people, the orphan and widowed mother were left behind. The queen was even more sad and crying day and night, and her eyes were hurt."

"The Crown Prince Jianshen is three years old this year. When it is time to understand poetry and etiquette, Chen Zhongtang is the third year of the Ming Dynasty, the leader of the literati, and the talent and knowledge of the world."

"The Ai family wants to ask Mrs. Chen to bring a message to let Chen Zhongtang serve as the crown prince Mengshi, and then officially serve as the crown prince teacher after the East Palace "gets out of marriage."

Queen Mother Sun went around in such a big circle with only one purpose, that is, to let Chen Yichen be the teacher of the Crown Prince Zhu Jianshen and form a teacher-student status.

Chen Qingtong was born in Xunqi's family, and her knowledge was far beyond the reach of ordinary rich women. She knew very well what the teacher-student status in the imperial city represented, which meant that Chen Yichen would become a prince's party in the future.

But the question is, can Zhu Jianshen, the position of crown prince, really last long?

If the husband has the power to follow the dragon against the new king, it is inevitable that the Supreme Emperor will be restored to the throne, otherwise there will be a disaster for the death.

As the new king reigned for a long time, his human nature was destined to be unable to let the throne fall. In addition, the eldest son was born last year, and the deposed and established the prince was almost certain.

At that time, as the prince’s teacher, how should my husband deal with himself?

Qianlong Fuchen seemed to have a bright future, but Chen Qingtong knew very well that this was a deep abyss and could not agree to Empress Dowager Sun's request no matter what.

"I don't understand the affairs of the previous dynasty, and I can't control my husband's decision. I hope the queen mother will forgive me for this."

Regardless of whether she would offend Empress Dowager Sun or not, Chen Qingtong knew that she would never let go of her affairs, so she simply refused decisively.

After hearing Chen Qingtong's answer, Empress Dowager Sun's face turned blue in an instant, and her politeness and intimacy were naturally pretending to be. After all, Chen Yichen used the general trend to force him to give up the power of intervening in the previous dynasty. Now he can only retreat to the harem to ask for help. Who would have willingly swallowed this breath?

But Empress Dowager Sun never expected that she had already said the words "humble" and asked for each other, but was still ruthlessly rejected by the other party.

Just as Queen Mother Sun felt that she could not bear to be prepared to attack, Queen Qian, who had never spoken, stood up silently and groped in the direction of Chen Qingtong.

After half a year of tears, Queen Qian's eyesight has been greatly reduced, and the light sensing of one eye is close to that of a blind man. However, for her husband and for the future crown prince to ascend the throne successfully, she is unwilling to give up this hard-won opportunity.

Queen Qian held Chen Qingtong's palm tightly and said with tears in her eyes: "Mrs. Chen, although I am not Jianshen's biological mother, I regard it as my own. The power struggle in the court is changing rapidly, as women in the harem, we can't change anything, so we can only watch it."

"If Jianshen becomes the deposed prince in the future, he may not even be able to save his life. I hope that Mrs. Chen will protect Jianshen for the sake of the children and the emperor's past grace."

"Even if you will not be able to ascend the throne in the future, with the care of Chen Zhongtang, you can at least survive safely!"

After saying that, Queen Qian buried her head and couldn't help crying.

For the royal family, the cruel struggle for imperial power in their memory is not far away. The Jingnan Campaign has only been a few decades since then, not to mention the rebellion of the Han King, etc.

In fact, Queen Qian knew in her heart that the longer the new king Zhu Qiyu was in power, the position of Zhu Jianshen’s crown prince would not be able to be preserved. She no longer had hope for inheriting the position of Grand Priest, and only hoped that Chen Yichen would use his identity as the crown prince to save Zhu Jianshen’s life when the great change came.

If you really want to blame, you can only blame Zhu Jianshen for having an unreliable father who was born in the imperial family!

Looking at the empress Qian, who was honored by the mother of the world, and now she looked so embarrassed and sick, Chen Qingtong felt indescribable.

In addition, she was pregnant, and she could better understand the feelings of being a mother. She said she refused, but she didn't know how to say it.

"Queen, the Imperial Doctor said that you have cried and hurt your eyes. You must not be too sad. Please take care of yourself."

Chen Qingtong put his hand on Queen Qian's arm and gently helped her up.

To be honest, she admired Queen Qian a little. She was deeply in love with the Supreme Emperor and gave her dowry to the Mongols in order to pay the ransom. She was generous to the concubine's son and cried and prayed to the prince to protect the prince.

However, Chen Qingtong was also fed up with the days of fear. Since his husband Chen Yichen became an official, the couple have been together for a long time. From time to time, various critical news came. Recently, they were even admitted to the imperial prison for being punished.

The involvement of the imperial power struggle means there is no way out. If the crown prince really fails to inherit the position of Grand Duchy, it will be difficult for him to retreat without hesitation. Not to mention that his husband protects him well, he may not be able to protect himself at that time.

Chen Qingtong admires Queen Qian very much and has sympathy for being a woman’s wife, but she knows very well that she cannot let her husband be in danger just because of her temporary soft heart.

So she stood up and replied cruelly: "This matter exceeds the limit of the ability of the concubine and even the husband. I hope the queen will understand it."

"If there is nothing else to do, I will sue it."

After saying that, Chen Qingtong bowed to Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Qian, and prepared to be punished by the other party.

Queen Mother Sun didn't expect that all the words would be said, Chen Qingtong was still unmoved. In anger, she immediately shouted: "Rareless, you..."

But as soon as Empress Sun spoke, Queen Qian stopped her and said, "Mother, Mrs. Chen has her own difficulties, and I don't want to force others to do so."

Queen Qian has been miserable throughout her life, but also gentle and kind. Why should women make things difficult for women?

"Mrs. Chen, you go back."

"Yes, Queen, I will leave."

Chen Qingtong bowed again and withdrew from the side hall of Cining Palace.

The women outside were still celebrating the New Year, with laughter and joy. Behind Chen Qingtong, there was a faint sob, filled with a look of despair. The joys and sorrows in the world are vividly displayed, even the lofty Forbidden City is no exception.

Chen Yichen, who was in the previous dynasty, naturally did not know the story of the story. The congratulations ended and the "great banquet" was held according to the convention. However, before this, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu seemed to have forgotten the president of the examination, and there was no clear candidate.

With the wine and the sound of drinking, this time, Chen Yichen, who was already a prime minister, did not have so many officials to speak his heart to him, and he became more polite and greetings in the officialdom.

However, after the "Ding'an Song" representing the end of the dynasty meeting, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, who was on the dragon chaise, said in a slightly drunk voice: "After resigning from the court, Chen Qing came to the imperial study, I have a few words to explain."

As soon as these words were spoken, the civil and military officials present looked at Chen Yichen with envy in their eyes.

There is no doubt that the announcement of the summoning of Chen Yichen alone is likely to be related to the president of the examination. Once the identity of the attendant can be determined, the right to speak in the court in the future will be greatly increased, laying the foundation for power to the court!

Compared to the envy of others, He Pingyan and Yang Hongze's eyes were more jealous and hatred.

It was obvious that he took the initiative and proposed to open a cadet and win a scholar as soon as possible, but Chen Yichen easily picked it. Could it be that the effect of the Dragon's Achievement is so great that the new king can support this son at all costs?

If that's the case, I can only take the shortcut to the dragon!

After the song ended, Chen Yichen came to the imperial study under the eunuch's guidance. Zhu Qiyu, the Emperor of Jingtai, who had shown a slight intoxication in Fengtian Hall, sat behind the imperial eunuch, and looked at the military newspaper from Datong Town.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Regarding Chen Yichen's salute, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand casually, and then said: "In the military newspaper of Datong General Guo Deng, I told the emperor that his brother had entered the pass. Who do you think should be sent to pick him up?"

Datong Prefecture is hundreds of miles away from the capital, so it is definitely impossible for the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen to come here alone, as it is essential to pick up officials.

Did Zhu Qizhen enter the pass?

Upon hearing this news, Chen Yichen's expression changed, because it meant that the assassination of Cang Huotou and others failed and they failed to complete the act of regicide outside the pass.

At the same time, what made Chen Yichen even more worried was the casualties of Cang Huotou and others, and whether the regicide incident was leaked. If it was exposed, even if Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu had extremely hoped that it would be successful, it would never be allowed on the surface.

What greets you will be the end of death!

"I dare not speak nonsense."

Chen Yichen bowed his hand and didn't recommend it. His mind was now in a mess, and he didn't have the mood to think about who would welcome the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen.

"Yeah?"

Upon hearing the answer, Zhu Qiyu's face showed a playful smile, which made Chen Yichen, who was a little guilty, feel more and more frightened.

"Chen Qing used the general trend to force the empress dowager to return to power and retreat to the harem. Why didn't he dare to speak nonsense about such trivial matters?"

When Chen Yichen was about the news of the drum, he realized the emperor's cooperation. Zhu Qiyu also noticed Chen Yichen's plan when he was about to go to the Imperial College, otherwise it would be impossible for the Imperial College to give a memorial and advice as soon as possible.

Realizing that Zhu Qiyu's playful smile did not refer to the assassination outside the Emperor's Pass, Chen Yichen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he replied without saying a word on his face: "I have only done my duty. Your Majesty is the king of sages, and the hearts of all officials and the people of the people!"

Chen Yichen secretly praised him and blamed Zhu Qiyu for his contribution. Although this matter was made by force and was beneficial to the emperor, as a subject, he acted a little out of bounds in a sense and he would never be able to receive the merit.

Sure enough, when Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu heard Chen Yichen's answer, his expression became a little complicated.

He admired Chen Yichen's talent and ability very much, but it was precisely because this boy was too outstanding, which made Zhu Qiyu feel that he could not control this minister. Even after the deaths of King Lu and Song Zhang, he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.

After looking at me and remembering Chen for a long time, Zhu Qiyu suppressed his fear and asked the question he really wanted to know the answer.
