You are a magnificent Duke, and you don't find any serious things, but you just toss about this...

Queen Mother Mu couldn't help laughing and thought to herself, could it be that she was tired of making trouble these days and seemed to be unwilling to care about any major issues, so she wanted to find a small matter and take the opportunity to be lazy?

Queen Mother Mu seemed to feel that she had seen through her son's worries at first sight, and she felt sympathetic. She coughed and looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, my son-in-law thinks that since Chen Aiqing wants to have some leisure time, it is understandable. It is better to be clear."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Since that's the case, you ask the Ai family what they do. The Ai family... I have said that I came to Luoyang to live my life and ignore all the messy things outside. You are the Empress Dowager, and now you are the Regent, so you will make the decision."

Queen Mother Mu smiled and nodded, "Since that's the case, you can hear the Chen Qing family, and the Ai family is approved."

Chen Kaizhi has actually been experiencing the subtle relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Mu. Empress Dowager Mu seemed very cautious and asked about everything. It was obviously afraid that she was afraid that the Empress Dowager would not be counted when she knew it.

But the Empress Dowager, she seemed to never interfere with such trivial matters, which obviously also reflected her wisdom.

Their ways of getting along can be seen at a glance. It seems that both sides seem a little cautious, and they are definitely not as "friendly" as they appear.

Of course, this is the Tian family, so how can it be as simple as ordinary people's lives? How could Chen Kaizhi not understand?

He felt relieved when he heard Empress Dowager Mu's permission: "Thank you, Empress."

Queen Mother Mu looked at Chen Kaizhi a few more times, and when she saw the joy passing by Chen Kaizhi's face, she couldn't help feeling a little gentle.

But the eldest princess said, "Kaizhi's sweet mouth is really enviable. A young man is liked by others."

This sounds a little harsh.

Chen Kaizhi replied indifferently: "Your Highness, how dare I compare with my son-in-law?"

“…”

The eldest princess actually choked.

Originally, what she meant was that Chen Kaizhi was handsome and a young man, and Empress Dowager Mu especially favored him.

She is the eldest princess and the queen mother's sister-in-law. She already knows what she says.

But Chen Kaizhi directly fought back. In Chen Kaizhi's context, the eldest princess liked Chen Kaizhi very much. However, Chen Kaizhi certainly did not accept it, so he quickly said modestly, where, where, how could the subordinates compare to the prince-consort?

This means that the eldest prince is courting Chen Kaizhi, but Chen Kaizhi refuses to keep his fucking and never be jealous of the prince-consort.

Naturally, the eldest princess became embarrassed and coughed twice to cover up.

The Empress Dowager smiled and looked at the eldest princess angrily: "You are becoming more and more disciplinary. Why are you so unrestrained?"

The eldest princess blushed and hurriedly accused him of guilt: "My son knows his mistake, and I will definitely be careful in my words and actions in the future."

"That's it." The Empress Dowager nodded.

In fact, why can't she hear the small battle between the two, and she can't help but admire Chen Kaizhi's eagerness. However, she scolded the eldest princess instead of scolding Chen Kaizhi, so she naturally thought that the eldest princess caused trouble, so she said, "Chen Qing family, you are now the Duke of the National Protection. In a few days, Your Majesty will follow the rules and should go to Shanglinyuan to hunt, so you can go to the driver."

Speaking of this hunting, it was the rule of Emperor Taizu Gao. It was originally divided into spring hunting and autumn hunting. The emperor had to take important ministers and close relatives to participate, which was to allow the descendants to temper themselves and not be weak.

However, afterwards, two hunting in this year turned into one hunting in a year. Now, it has become one hunting in three years. The so-called hunting eventually turned into an outing and a flower stand. It was just a walk and a look. After a few days, the guards returned. They were responsible for catching various preys, circled them, and then let the princes and ministers shoot arrows at the terrified prey inside in this fence. Then the eunuchs opened their throats and shouted a few times: "Divine Arrows" and other words, and came back with countless "trophies".

Chen Kaizhi has no interest in this kind of hunting at all. Damn, this is not hunting, it is like taking it to a pigpen and shooting. Do you have the nerve to call yourself a sharpshooter?

Chen Kaizhi lacked interest and said, "I have been a little short of my life these days and want to cultivate one or two."

"Oh." The Empress Dowager seemed regretful: "The Ai family and Mu family wanted to go there too. They wanted you, the Duke of the National Guard, to accompany you, and there was no need for you. After returning, the Ai family ordered people to send you some prey, which was also a kind reward. You are a royal family and Duke of the National Guard, and from then on, you will be considered a family..."

When she talked about the family, Empress Dowager Mu's body trembled slightly, and suddenly she felt that it was meaningful.

On the contrary, the eldest princess's face was tense, but she didn't dare to say anything.

"If you are a family, you have to walk around often. The Ai family has always been a clear distinction between grudges. If you are a real person, even if you are a distant relative, you will be your own nephew. But if you are not at ease, even if you are closest relatives, you should be your enemy and your enemy."

Chen Kaizhi had a deep understanding of these words, which was true. Didn’t the Empress Dowager, who had eliminated his close relatives without any mercy, and the late emperor was able to consolidate his power?

Of course, Chen Kaizhi did not dare to say these old things, and replied with a humble look on his face: "I understand."

Then he chatted with the Empress Dowager for a few more words before Chen Kaizhi said goodbye.

…………

In the Tianren Pavilion, after Chen Kaizhi left, several scholars and Mr. Yan were still in shock.

At this time, everyone was eating tea in the hall, but they all had their own thoughts.

Suddenly, Jiang Xueshi said: "Chen Kaizhi won't cause any trouble for himself, right?"

After he said this, everyone finally came back to their senses.

Yang Biao shook his head and said, "No, I am worried, but he dare not cause trouble."

Mr. Yan nodded and said with a point of view: "Yes, I don't know how many difficult roads will be taken in the future. If you don't even have this little courage and don't act decisively enough, you will only blindly look forward to it. If you don't dare, then you won't dare to seize the throne, it will be difficult to protect yourself."

Chen Yixing was a safe person. He frowned and said, "You can't make such a judgment. My brother, Prince Zhao, is the regent prince after all, and his party is everywhere in the government and the country. If you really cause trouble, how will it end in the future?"

"So..." Mr. Yan's eyes showed a bit of firmness and said seriously: "This requires him to have enough courage and courage, and enough wisdom. These are indispensable for a saint. I am not intentionally trying to make things difficult for him, but I can spare my life and give it all to the prince in order to have an opportunity with the late emperor. However,... Once I want to seize the throne, it will not be possible to rely on me alone. If I run for him, I must pull many close relatives and friends under the prince's wings. But if Chen Kaizhi's ability is insufficient, wouldn't this kill many innocent people?"

"So, if Chen Kaizhi really has the potential of a saint, then he will bet. But if not, I hope he can enjoy the wealth in front of him for the rest of his life and do not breed other delusions. Otherwise, even if he really succeeds in seizing the throne one day, if he is just mediocre and always makes plans, what is the difference between this... and the people at present? We are discouraged, and we are looking for a wise master, but we must not be a mediocre talent. For this reason, this person must be a dragon and a phoenix among people."

Everyone nodded.

But... it's a very uncomfortable thing to wait after all, but fortunately they have been waiting for too long and for a few days.

...

Chen Kaizhi said goodbye from the palace and left the palace. He had just arrived at the Meridian Gate, but saw a carriage coming slowly in front of him.

Chen Kaizhi's eyes and ears were better than ordinary people. From a distance, he saw that it was King Zhao's car.

Today...it's a coincidence.

But I wonder what would happen if King Zhao knew that he had raised the knife secretly?

Chen Kaizhi has now strengthened his confidence, but he became calm at this time. He and the car driver passed by, walked to his group of horses who had been waiting outside the palace. He was about to get on the horse, but someone behind him called him: "Duke Guo."

Chen Kaizhi looked back and saw that King Zhao had gotten out of the car. Although the weather was not yet on the biting cold wind, he had already put on a fox fur and looked a little bloated.

King Zhao narrowed his eyes, called Chen Kaizhi, and looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, revealing a few meaningful expressions.

Chen Kaizhi didn't want to pay attention to him, but after thinking about it carefully, he stopped. He looked at His Highness Zhao with a smile. His mood today was completely different. In the past... maybe he regarded him as an enemy and a "bad guy" who often provoked him, but now...

Chen Kaizhi actually discovered that in his eyes, this person was more like his prey.

Chen Kaizhi slowly walked forward and said, "Hello, Your Highness."

He was calm and calm, without any anxiety or dissatisfaction.

King Zhao looked at Chen Kaizhi up and down, with a bit of tolerant anger on his face, and said, "Do you have no such king in your eyes?"

"What does Your Highness mean?" Chen Kaizhi clearly saw that King Zhao was trying his best to hide the shame and anger in his heart.

Chen Zhijing said coldly: "What's going on with the Minister of Rites?"

Chen Kaizhi knew in his heart that Chen Zhijing must be angry at this moment. The Minister of Rites, who thought it was his followers, was inexplicably done this time. This fall, even if Chen Zhijing, could not even be dragged down by the king of heaven, and had violated such a big taboo, it had reached the point where both man and gods were angry. It would be difficult for him to recover in the future.

But for King Zhao, the loss is really considerable without the help of the Secretary of the People!
