Chapter 489: The Empress Dowager
In the usual court discussions, there was no such thing as the sect king and the cabinet ministers who recommended one person in unison.
Being able to be praised by everyone shows that this person is really an extraordinary person, and everyone has confidence in him.
Obviously, everyone regarded Fang Wucai as a god-like existence, as if he had reached the point of being able to do everything, and in his current form, I'm afraid Fang Wucai could not even find the reason for refusal.
Because of the civil and military officials in the court, everyone felt that he could do it and was full of confidence in him.
The only person who has no confidence is Chen Kaizhi.
Chen Kaizhi felt that his hand holding the pen was shaking a little, and his expression also sank. He was about to show his sank, and his uncle was so arrogant that he was too arrogant. If he went to Beiyan, God knew what would happen. How could he know how to negotiate and how to do a mission?
He only knows how to pretend, brag, and coax people. What are the real skills?
These are done.
Chen Kaizhi felt that he was trembling. At this moment, he really wanted to go there on his behalf so that he could be at peace.
The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes patrolled everyone around. Seeing that everyone recommended Fang Wucai, she did not object, but instead restrained her eyes and said slowly: "Since that's the case, then... the wait room..."
Chen Kaizhi hurriedly said: "I am here."
The Empress Dowager looked at Chen Kaizhi, her eyes flashed with love, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "I will write a decree today."
Chen Kai's way: "I obey the order."
The Empress Dowager seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and seemed to have finally solved a problem, and her expression became much more comfortable.
Her eyes turned slightly and looked at everyone, and suddenly said, "There is a letter from Ganquan Palace, saying that the Empress Dowager will choose the day to arrive in Luoyang. Do you know these things?"
The Empress Dowager...of course, the mother of the previous emperor, and even the Empress Dowager would call her a mother.
Of course, she is also the biological mother of King Zhao, but it is said that more than ten years ago, the disappearance of the prince caused the empress dowager to change her temperament and her relationship with the former emperor became tense. Since then, she has been to Ganquan Palace in Chang'an and has been living there.
But now, I suddenly want to return to Luoyang, which makes people doubt.
The Empress Dowager only returned to Luoyang twice, once seven or eight years ago, and another time, the death of the Empress Dowager. After all, she was the biological mother of the Empress Dowager and King Zhao, both of them had to rely on her.
It is said that when the late emperor succeeded the Grand Priest, he was still young. At that time, some people in the court were eyeing the throne of the late emperor, especially several uncles in the royal family. Under the circumstances at that time, the Empress Dowager was very decisive and issued an order directly to order his brothers to lead troops into the capital.
After the troops from Chang'an's hometown entered the capital, they were killed overnight. The next morning, several princes with unpredictable thoughts, the uncles of the previous emperor, disappeared from then on. That night, the matter suddenly became a matter that everyone inside and outside the court and the country were not afraid of. Since then, no one dared to have any doubts about the rule of the previous emperor.
Chen Kaizhi was shocked when he heard the words "The Empress Dowager" and said that according to the records in the Hanlin Museum of Literature and History, this Empress Dowager was the Dinghai Kung Fu Nei for the Great Chen Dynasty more than ten years ago. However, for the past ten years, she has only been staying in the Ganquan Palace in Chang'an and staying away. Now, she is going to come back?
There must be something in this, otherwise it would be unaccustomed to a person who suddenly left the place where he lived for more than ten years.
Obviously, Empress Dowager Mu was a little anxious because the Empress Dowager returned to Luoyang, which would increase a lot of uncertainty.
This Empress Dowager, who was born in Chang'an, originally determined to be the first emperor with her own family, but now, her family still controls the entire Guanzhong and the soldiers near Chang'an.
Chen Zhijing heard the words and said with a smile: "Yes, my brother also received a letter from my mother, saying that it was about to leave after the New Year. Although my mother was old, she was very healthy. As a son, I don't know how relieved I was. Now my mother returned to Luoyang, which really made me excited. Besides..." His eyes were dark and unpredictable, but his face still kept a smile: "My mother hasn't seen his grandson for a long time. If my mother met Your Majesty, I don't know how happy she would be."
He seemed to have a thorn in his words.
The current emperor is the legitimate grandson of the Empress Dowager. His meaning is that, after all, you are just the daughter-in-law of the Empress Dowager. But for the Empress Dowager, I am the bloodline of the Empress Dowager, and the emperor is the grandson. Although the Empress Dowager was very fond of the Empress Dowager when he was alive, the Empress Dowager was very devoured. At that time, the Empress Dowager was overjoyed to learn that the Empress Dowager had given birth to a son, but this child was already gone.
Regardless of whether the Empress Dowager is biased or not, now, she has nothing to be biased.
Only King Zhao is her son, and the emperor is her legitimate grandson. No matter who they are, they are relatives of the Empress Dowager, her blood is flowing on her body.
But Empress Dowager, you, a woman who has no son to rely on, but you interfere in politics in the name of Empress Dowager. Although you have a high status, you are not the daughter-in-law of the Empress Dowager in terms of the order of the eldest and younger people in the palace?
The Empress Dowager has a higher status.
If she supports Your Majesty, she will naturally support me as her youngest son. I am afraid that the life of the Empress Dowager will not be very easy.
The Empress Dowager naturally heard the irony in King Zhao's words, and her expression changed, but it was also a matter of the blink of an eye. She immediately returned to her usual temperament and smiled at King Zhao.
"A few days ago, the Ai family was still writing a book to ask for advice. The mother was indeed thinking about King Zhao. Now that she was back, it was a very happy thing. However, the mother was not in good health. Along the way, the eunuchs and guards in Ganquan Palace should be ordered to take care of them carefully. If there is any mistake, the Ai family will not spare it."
Chen Kaizhi was thinking to himself, why did the Empress Dowager come at this time? He had never seen any signs before.
This Empress Dowager is the mother of King Zhao. Now the Empress Dowager and King Zhao are not in harmony, but I don’t know who this Empress Dowager is interested in.
He was confused, but he didn't say anything.
The Empress Dowager was mocked by King Zhao, and naturally felt uncomfortable. Her phoenix eyes drooped slightly, and then she said lightly: "Okay, the Ai family is exhausted, so let the family retreat."
So everyone stood up, bowed and said goodbye. Queen Mother Mu raised her eyes, looked at Chen Kaizhi, and suddenly said, "Kaizhi, please stay. You are a Hanlin at the Ai family. There are some things to ask you for."
Chen Kaizhi was confused, but he still said with a faint expression: "I obey the order."
The Empress Dowager left Chen Kaizhi alone, which was surprising. Chen Zhijing looked at Chen Kaizhi with a meaningful look, then smiled slightly, and took everyone out.
The Empress Dowager ordered someone to pour tea, slowly picked up the tea cup, carefully pinched the tea lid, scraped off the tea brew, then took a sip, and smiled at Chen Kaizhi, "You drink tea too."
Chen Kaizhi first packed all the records and then took a sip of tea. The tea in the palace was a top-notch and had endless aftertaste. However, Chen Kaizhi did not focus on the tea, but carefully observed the queen mother, thinking about what she was doing to keep her.
The Queen Mother put down the teacup in her hand, sighed deeply, and then asked very seriously: "Do you know about the Queen Mother?"
Chen Kaizhi nodded gently.
"I have read some records in the Museum of Literature and History and have learned a little about it."
The Empress Dowager smiled, then looked at Chen Kaizhi with a serious look on his face: "So, in your opinion, what is the purpose of the Empress Dowager coming to Luoyang this time?"
Chen Kaizhi never expected that the Empress Dowager would ask about her family affairs, but after thinking about it carefully, isn’t the family affairs of the Tian family a state affairs?
Now the empress dowager has a lot of intention to take the exam for her own school. Chen Kaizhi pondered for a moment: "My stupid opinion is nothing more than two possibilities."
The Empress Dowager remained silent and listened to Chen Kaizhi's great opinions intently.
Chen Kaizhi said slowly: "One of this is the Empress Dowager who wants to come to me. After all, she is older. Although Ganquan Palace is a good place, she is older, and she hopes to get closer to her home. After all, this place was the Empress Dowager's home."
"But the second is that the King of Zhao invited the Empress Dowager. But I think this may not be big. If the Empress Dowager really wanted to come to King of Zhao, it would have come long ago. Why wait until this time? I think the Empress Dowager is really careless."
When the empress dowager was thinking a little, Chen Kaizhi naturally knew the empress dowager's concerns. He was most afraid that the empress dowager would be focused on King Zhao and make things difficult for her in everything. In this way, the empress dowager's life would be difficult.
Although the empress dowager has a noble status, the empress dowager is her elder. No matter what, the empress dowager dares to surpass the empress dowager. After all, the empress dowager's identity is there, and if you are not careful, you will gain a reputation of being unfilial.
But now nothing is useful to think about, so Chen Kaizhi did not analyze it any more, but instead comforted the empress dowager.
"Since the Empress Dowager is here, the Empress Dowager, as a child, serves happily. There is no need to worry about other things."
Empress Dowager Mu felt much more relaxed when she heard this, so she nodded to Chen Kaizhi: "Although..." She smiled: "Although what you said means not to say, at least, it makes the Ai family feel more at ease. However... when that is too late, I believe that King Zhao will do his best to show that the Ai family is a woman, but cannot pick him up. Then, you can go on behalf of the Ai family."
Chen Kaizhi was stunned for a moment, I'm just a Hanlin, in what name should I go? King Zhao went, that's to compete for favor, I'm a Hanlin, and I'm a Hanlin, and I'm probably not even having a chance to speak. It's really a ghost.
Wouldn't he betrayed the trouble, and he was so tired that he might have been excluded by the royal family of King Zhao and others. This is not something that anyone can do.
