The Empress Dowager's words shocked the four people.

If the Empress Dowager showed any emotions at this time, whether it was a big joy or a big worry, it could actually be understood by others.

After all, the phoenix heart is hard to predict.

But, this sudden word, take...the shawl...

Isn't this funny?

But the more the empress dowager is, the more frightening and nervous it is.

If you can touch her temper, know her appetite, and know her behavior pattern, no matter how noble this person is, it will not make people afraid, because she is controllable. As long as you don’t violate her scatter, you will have a clear mind.

In this way, you will know what to say and what not to say.

But like the Empress Dowager, it is really worrying.

Everyone had no idea what she was thinking, what they should pay attention to, this was the most terrifying thing.

After hearing this, the eunuch walked away quickly. It was quite a long distance from Wanshou Palace. Even if it was a quick trip, it would take half an hour. So, the palace seemed to be suffocating and no one spoke, because the Empress Dowager closed her eyes and seemed to be resting, and everyone had to keep silent.

The impatient little emperor seemed to want to move around, but was stopped by the little eunuch beside him and coaxed in a low voice.

The little emperor has grown up a lot, but after all, he is still ignorant. He has no way of knowing how dangerous things have happened in this palace, and he doesn't know that his father is uneasy at the moment, not knowing what his grandmother is planning.

He is nearly eight years old and is much taller than an ordinary child, but his arrogant look has never changed. He will only restrain himself in front of the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Mu. If it were other occasions, he would have been noisy.

It took a long time before the little eunuch left and returned.

The little eunuch took the shawl wrapped in yellow silk to the front of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager took it and gently stroked his hand, as if he felt the softness of the silk thread. After a long time, she sighed: "The weather is getting colder and colder, and winter is coming. The families of all the relatives must have worked very hard to enter the palace every morning."

"Although the Ai family is from a prominent family, the family education is still alive. Since childhood, the mother of the Ai family taught the Ai family. Do you know what she said? Her teachings are still unforgettable. She told the Ai family that no matter what identity, whether it is a mother or a woman in the boudoir, she is expensive or cheap, and there is something that cannot be left behind, that is the female red. This female red cannot be abandoned like a man studying and riding a horse."

The Queen Mother said something, which was elusive. However, she raised her eyes slightly, looked around everyone, smiled, as if she had nothing to say, and swallowed gently before continuing to speak again.

"The Ai family followed her teachings. Whether she was waiting for her name, entering the palace, or becoming the queen, becoming the queen, or becoming the queen, the queen, or becoming the queen, the queen, but this girl did not dare to leave, because this is why women read and ride horses. Why do you men study? Reading is to understand the truth and understand the truth? It is to know the righteousness. After reading books, you will know where the righteousness lies. Even if you are difficult, you will go. Men must learn to ride horses, learn to ride horses, and be well-versed in the world, and be able to support the world, protect the country and protect the people. Otherwise, you will stay in the world and be mediocre, whether you are a prince or a prince, you will be just a confused person."

"This shawl was embroidered by the Ai family. I originally thought to give it to Wuji. Wuji was the grandson of the Ai family. He was about to return to the capital. He was the blood of the late emperor. The Ai family originally hoped that he would be outside for the rest of his life and be safe? Why, because it is difficult to live in the imperial family, sometimes it is not impossible to live a simple life."

She said it with a gentle tone, but everyone listened carefully, not daring to miss a word, desperately trying to exhaust all her talents to explore the profound meaning behind the words of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager finally sighed deeply: "But now, since you insist on letting him go back to court, okay, let's go back to court. The Ai family has weave such a shoulder guard, His Majesty has weave it, Wuji has also weave it, Oh, and..." She glanced at King Liang and King Zheng: "The Prince of Liang, Prince of Zheng, have weave it, this is a little intention. In other words, they are all the emperor's grandsons."

The Empress Dowager said and smiled: "The Ai family can't study, nor have they learned to ride a horse. If you want to express your feelings, you can only rely on this girl to become famous."

As she said, she had grown up, and everyone's eyes moved with her brisk pace. Slowly, the Empress Dowager walked to Chen Kaizhi and stared at Chen Kaizhi. Then, her eyes fell on Chen Zhijing again, and said, "You, in terms of age, you are also considered uncles and nephews, you are the same clan, and they are all descendants of Emperor Taizu, and even men."

Chen Kaizhi and Chen Zhi worshipped: "Empress..."

The Empress Dowager bent down and directly draped the shoulder guard behind Chen Kaizhi. She draped it with a shawl embroidered with gold thread on Chen Kaizhi's body, which brought a hint of coldness to Chen Kaizhi.

Everyone's face changed when they saw it.

The Empress Dowager said that this was woven for the grandchildren, but now it is covered with it on Chen Kaizhi.

This is obvious.

The Empress Dowager's eyes turned slightly, looked at everyone, and laughed again: "You can study, ride a horse, and you still have to be responsible. You should value the country. Last night, it was really shocking. What are the civil and military officials in the court doing? They are all hiding, and they are afraid. What are you afraid of? Some people are afraid of disturbing the people, which is called Mingzhe's self-protection; some are afraid that if they suppress the rebellion, they will arouse suspicion from the court, and they will suffer a great disaster. This is also Mingzhe's self-protection. Those who can stand here must

Either he is good at studying, or he is proficient in riding and shooting. There is no mediocre person. You are all pillars. But everything is bad. If you are not, it is broken by Mingzhe. Because Mingzhe protects himself, he is taboo and dare not take responsibility. So he is pretending to be deaf, pretending to be deaf, pretending to be unable to see his eyes, and learning a lot of skills. As a result, the thief is harming the country and the people. Except for Chen Kaizhi and this Duke of the National Protection, where have the others gone?"

Her voice suddenly became high, her tone was cold and stern. It was just a breeze and drizzle, but now it was like dark clouds pressing down on her head, as if a storm was coming.

The ministers suddenly understood that the Empress Dowager was blaming them for not suppressing the rebellion. Everyone fell to the ground: "I wait for ten thousand deaths."

"You must die sincerely and not use the four words "Psychic and Protective" so mysteriously. You are afraid of death, because you are afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back. Just now, the capital was full of sorrows, but you hid in your own mansion and pretended that nothing had happened."

"This shawl..." The Empress Dowager stared at Chen Kaizhi's eyes and then smiled happily: "Kaizhi, the Ai family gave you, this is not a reward. You have made contributions, calmed down the chaos, and did what you should do. There is nothing you can give to you. This is what the Ai family spent half a month stabbing to express some feelings, which is what you deserve."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone understood what it meant.

The Empress Dowager has already determined the matter. Chen Kaizhi is a hero, which is praising Chen Kaizhi's behavior.

This fool understood.

For a moment, everyone didn't dare to say anything and quietly lowered their heads. No one dared to say that Chen Kaizhi was wrong.

After the Empress Dowager said that, she raised her eyes and looked around: "Now, who else wants to say what? Who else..."

Everyone remained silent and dared not speak out.

Since the matter has been determined, who would still stand up and criticize Chen Kaizhi with so-called ancestral laws and so-called loopholes, which is almost equivalent to seeking death?

"Is there no one?" the Empress Dowager asked sternly.

Everyone was kneeling and did not dare to say anything. At this time, they dared to say something wrong with Chen Kaizhi, which was simply seeking death.

"Okay." The Empress Dowager said lightly: "I am afraid that someone will say something sarcastic or gossip. The Ai family thinks that some people are so ignorant. In this world, it is the easiest to talk about people's length, but the most difficult thing to do. The Ai family didn't like to be the one who makes decisions. After all, the Ai family is old. It should have allowed younger people to take charge of the overall situation. But today, the Ai family understands that it cannot be like this. For some things, it is still the one who should make decisions and issue an order..."

When she squinted her eyes and said the word "Issue" smoothly from her mouth, the waves flowed in her eyes, and the depths of her eyes were even more unsatisfactory.

"Chen Kai made contributions to quelling the rebellion, and he would be given an additional salary!"

Increased salary is not a big reward.

At least it is nothing to Chen Kaizhi.

But she gave her shoulder pads and gave her a reward, which showed an attitude. The Empress Dowager was protecting him. Even if she bombarded the Zhao Mansion, she felt that it was right.

Therefore, it is obvious that if anyone makes a fuss about this matter again, this is going to fight against the Empress Dowager, and tomorrow we will have to wait for the end.

But Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but think in his heart that the word "order" is truly powerful.

The decree for salary increase cannot be drawn by the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager. It must follow the procedures of the court. The so-called issuance of the emperor is to issue the emperor's will. Only the emperor's will is the drafting of the Hanlin Academy's waiting room, and then the cabinet's Grand Secretary and the seal in the palace are stamped with the emperor's seal.

The Empress Dowager issued an order and turned the Hanlin Academy, the cabinet, and the Seal Court into a group of clerks who could only respond, instantly transforming her words into the emperor's will.
