Queen Mother Mu’s thoughts are really hard to guess.

Yao Wenzhi and others are now in a state of confusion. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a major change in the court.

However, Yao Wenzhi and others had nothing to question, but hurriedly said, "Please give me instructions."

Empress Dowager Mu knew that she was impulsive now. If such a change happened, she would first see what Liu Bi had to do to protect the safety of King Zhao, Empress Dowager and others.

But now she can't care so much anymore. She felt heartbroken and only had one thought in her mind, that was Chen Kai's death.

Her son is dead.

The revenge of killing a son will be revenged.

She must not let Liu Bi go, so she held her hands tightly together, her face becoming more pale and bloodless. However, at this moment she knew that she could not be too excited, so she took a deep breath and tried to calm her grief. Her foggy eyes looked around everyone before she slowly said.

"In any case, it's a pity for this writer Chen Xiu. This time he went to welcome the robbers and encountered the thief army. He must have been desperate and tried his best to protect the integrity of the Empress Dowager. The Ai family can almost imagine that he..." Empress Dowager Mu tried his best to speak in a calm and calm tone, but his voice still couldn't help but choke: "It can be imagined that he must be surrounded by the thief army in the end and died at the utmost strength. This... is my loyal and kindness of Chen."

At this time... the Empress Dowager just cared about Chen Kaizhi.

The four bachelors became suspicious.

Is it okay for the Empress Dowager or the King of Zhao?

Or maybe Empress Dowager Mu is unwilling to touch the real sadness, or maybe Empress Dowager and His Highness Zhao are not dead yet, so it is too early to say that they are.

So everyone listened patiently.

When Queen Mother Mu thought of the scene of Chen Kaizhi's tragic death, her emotions began to lose control again. She sniffed her nose with difficulty, restraining her sadness and tears in her eyes, and then continued to say: "A loyal minister like this, the Ai family still remembers the articles he wrote and the contributions he made. Now, he died loyally and dies in battle. Can we be indifferent and forget him?"

"If you don't reward merits, it's against the way of heaven."

Yao Wenzhi and others nodded one after another: "The Empress said it well. You need to reward merits and punish me if you have any mistakes."

Now everyone follows the thoughts of Queen Mother Mu, and it is indeed not the time to anger Feng Yan.

Queen Mother Mu's eyes flashed and asked with a very serious look: "So, how do you appreciate it?"

"This..." Even Chen Yishou, who was most heartbroken at Chen Kaizhi, was wandering at this time. The situation is still unclear, and it is really inappropriate to be in a hurry to reward.

Moreover, why did Empress Dowager Mu only care about Chen Kai? He felt a mess in his heart and couldn't help but say, "Please give me a break."

"Okay." Empress Dowager Mu suppressed the grief in her heart: "Since you don't say it, then the Ai family will say it personally. Since it is a reward, Chen Kaizhi, after all, is a national surname. He has been orphaned since childhood. But according to what he said, he came from the Chen family in Yingchuan. According to the Ai family's views, other rewards are stingy, so just put him into the royal family."

Belonged to the royal family.

Everyone was stunned.

I have never heard of such a reward.

However, when the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu Gao gave his surname several times, but that was a long time ago. But now, he directly classified a person with the surname Chen into the royal family.

You should know that Da Chen was extremely strict in the management of the royal family, and the royal family was divided into the royal family and the clan surname.

In order to prevent the problem of too many descendants of the royal family of Dachen, Emperor Taizu Gao had already ordered that the Chen family be divided into two, and the relatives of the Five Dynasties were royal families. Not only did the court provide support, but also gave them a favorable position. The emperor could even rely on them to govern the world.

The relatives outside the Five Dynasties were classified as Zong's surname. The so-called Zong's surname was just Chen's surname and did not have any special preferential treatment. Of course, because the ancestors were royal families, they would have more or less favorable treatment, but apart from these, there would be no preferential treatment.

This approach actually avoids a problem.

The problem is that as the population of the royal family increases, if everyone enjoys preferential treatment from the royal family, then the royal family will continue to develop like a snowball. For example, now, the royal family has maintained its 3,000 people, which is a relative within the Five Dynasties. These people are real nobles, some have entered the court to observe politics, some have been in military affairs, and some have opened governments in the local area, and have penetrated into all aspects of Dachen, but have also become the backbone of the stable Dachen.

But how many clan surnames are there in Dachen? According to the household registration statistics, there are 390,000 people. These people are also the bloodlines that have been passed down from Emperor Taizu Gao, five hundred years ago when Emperor Taizu Gao was there. If they were not divided in this way, then these people would have become royal families who enjoyed offerings, with nearly 400,000 people, and they would have eaten up all the family of Dachen long ago.

Therefore, now, many people in Dachen think of Emperor Taizu Gao's foresight. If it were not for this national policy, Dachen would have been overwhelmed.

Chen Kai's surname is Chen, and he claims to be from Yingchuan. Although his family's genealogy is no longer verified, it is not a lie, because there are so many clan surnames in the world, there is really no need to lie, but it is obvious that it is inappropriate to upgrade from clan surname to clan family. This...is obviously something wrong. This requires a new yellow book and a Taimiao.

Just before hesitating, Empress Dowager Mu said seriously: "This is the Ai family just wants to ask what you mean. After you say it, you can speak freely."

Yao Wenzhi was enlightened: "The old minister thought that this matter was nothing wrong. Chen Kaizhi was a scholar and also entered the Tianren Pavilion, and he was loyal to the court. I think that if Emperor Taizu had spirit in heaven, he would not blame him."

He took the lead in making a statement.

In fact, this is a very simple truth. If Chen Kaizhi was still alive, he would not dare to agree, but Chen Kaizhi was dead and death was the most important thing, and he did not leave any descendants. The so-called "entering the royal family" would not be able to enjoy the treatment of the royal family. At most, it would be to find his bones and go to the burial of the small tombs around the imperial tomb. Others would not have any impact on the court. As for the Zongling Mansion, it obviously doesn't matter. Just treat it as a posthumous seal. What's the matter?

Living people cannot be concerned about dead people.

What's more, Queen Mother Mu is in a heavy mood now and there is no need to object.

As soon as he saw Yao Wenzhi nodded, the other bachelors were not able to disobey and said one after another: "I'm going to discuss it."

Queen Mother Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her child was dead. In any case, she should have made him recognize his ancestors. Now that his corpse has not been found, he cannot admit it. But at least, she must first confirm the identity of Chen Kaizhi's clan, so that the clan can give some comfort to the late emperor and himself.

She sighed: "Then order the Sect Ling Mansion to come here."

Queen Mother Mu's behavior was very strange, and she seemed to be very urgent about it, fearing that the matter would fail in the end.

Zhang Jing understood the thoughts of Empress Dowager Mu very well. He felt very uncomfortable, but he had to hold back. He knew that the Empress Dowager was planning for his children and their future affairs and became a royal family before he could be buried in the cemetery. At that time, the Empress Dowager could even let him be buried near the tomb of the late emperor. As for the recognition of each other, he could do it slowly, but the subsequent funeral was unhurried.

He nodded quickly: "I'll go and invite me now."

After a while, the Zong Ling Mansion, Chen Wu, came in. Chen Wu was the general of the auxiliary state in the royal family. He saluted first: "I've seen the Empress."

He glanced at the sight of several Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and couldn't help but feel suspicious. Generally speaking, the matters of the royal family, the handling of the Zong Lingfu, had nothing to do with the political affairs handled by the cabinet. Why did he suddenly call himself at this time? A eunuch passed on Liu Bi's letter to him? When he opened it, his body trembled, and then his eyes turned red and tears burst out: "Old ancestor, ancestor...the Empress Dowager...the old man..."

Then, he fell to the ground and burst into tears.

Empress Dowager Mu looked at him coldly: "The editor Chen Kaizhi died to protect the Empress Dowager. Now people are in panic and should reward loyal people. Only in this way can people know that when the country is in trouble, the court will never be dissatisfied. Do you think?"

"Yes, yes." Chen Wu was in a mess.

Queen Mother Mu said again: "The Ai family intends to include Chen Kaizhi in the royal family. What do you think?"

"Ah..." Chen Wu's face turned pale. This was something that had never happened before. He couldn't help but say, "But the Empress, Chen Xiu, is dead."

Suddenly, he woke up, yes, he was dead.

Since he died, death is the greatest. At this time, if he opposes, not only will the Empress Dowager dislike, but he will not help but be stung by the backbone behind him. Such inhumane. After all, this is just a small task. Chen Kaizhi is alive, and it is difficult for him to ascend to heaven. Even if the Empress Dowager forces him, he will never dare to set a precedent. Otherwise, the royal family will not tear him away. But now... it is very different. Everyone is dead, and Chen Kaizhi has no descendants. What are you afraid of when he agrees? He said without hesitation: "Empress, eight or nine out of ten Chen Kaizhi are the surname of the Zong, and he must be the descendant of Emperor Taizu Gao. Now he has made great contributions and is both civil and military in his lifetime. It is admirable. I think it is appropriate to give him a royal family."

Queen Mother Mu's heart was extremely calm, but she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She seemed to have received a little comfort in her heart. She made up her mind to first recognize her as a royal family, and when the time is ripe, she would recognize her son. In any case, she would not cause the child to suffer grievances during his lifetime, and would still be punished after death.

"Then, you should prepare the silver plate immediately and include it in the yellow book of the Zongling Mansion, the cabinet, prepare the order. Today, we will issue it and announce it to the world!"
