Chen Kaizhi was wearing a shawl and naturally knew that this was a win-win result.

At least, from Chen Zhijing's face, it can be seen that although the Empress Dowager had not said anything to him, every word he said to Chen Kaizhi was like a sword, piercing him hard in his heart.

This is obviously slapping him in the face. I believe that King Zhao must feel that life is worse than death at this moment.

Chen Kaizhi said loudly: "I... thank you."

The Empress Dowager just nodded at him and then returned to her position.

The phoenix eyes turned slightly and looked at everyone. She smiled: "About these rebels, if they are just rebellious, they can be gentle. The sky is getting colder. There are so many refugees inside and outside the capital, and so many people are starving and cold. They want to cause trouble. It's no wonder that they are on their heads. However, Jinyiwei and Mingjingsi will definitely attack the real rebels. Once they are discovered, they will kill them. Do you understand?"

Chen Kaizhi nodded heavily and said, "I, follow the order."

The Empress Dowager nodded to Chen Kaizhi with satisfaction and said: "There is still a vacant position in the position of governor of Mingjingsi. Now it is an extraordinary time and can no longer be vacant. The Ai family heard that Zhang Ren, the prefect of Chang'an Prefecture, is cautious and has a very stable job. Since it is an extraordinary time, let Zhang Ren take over as the governor of Mingjingsi. Although he is now in a low position, he is also a talent that can be made."

It was decided, and naturally no one objected.

The Empress Dowager smiled: "Originally, Wuji wanted to return the court, which was a good thing, but unexpectedly, there was a civil unrest, and the original festive atmosphere in the palace was completely diluted."

She then said: "Also, those who have made contributions to quell the chaos last night will all be rewarded. The Ministry of Rites will come up with a charter, and the Ai family will personally inquire about it."

"Abide by the order." The Minister of Rites took office.

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and glanced at everyone, then continued to speak lightly: "Since the chaos in the people has been settled, don't make any big noises, don't let the people panic. The nine gates should be opened as usual, and the others will perform their own duties. This is not a big deal. In the end, there are not so many rioters in this world. Don't be afraid. If the people are afraid, the court should be more calm!"

She was talking, but at this moment, an eunuch came hurriedly and after entering the palace, he bowed: "No...no."

Not good.

When I heard that it was not good, everyone became a little panicked. What happened again?

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "After saying that, what's wrong?"

The eunuch said: "There was news from Mengjin that a mutiny occurred in Mengjin's army and some soldiers were about to rebel."

Mengjin mutiny...

The Empress Dowager's face turned cold, but she was still calm.

But many people were shocked.

Mengjin, this is the only way to enter Luoyang from Chang'an. At this time, a mutiny broke out. The news was self-evident. Obviously, it is of great importance.

You should know that Prince Wuji will return to the court. According to various signs, the only way that Prince Wuji takes is Mengjin.

Once a mutiny occurs in Mengjin’s army, what will happen next?

It seems...all this seems to be expected.

Chen Zhijing had no expression on his face. Although he suffered a huge loss this time, no matter what, it seemed that things were developing towards his own arrangements. He did not dare to see the expression of his mother because he knew very well. Although the mother had already suspected that this was his own arrangement, so what?

If you don’t punish yourself, heaven and earth will be destroyed. Wuji, after all, you have lived for more than ten years. Now you will not lose money if you die.

At this point, Chen Zhijing seems to care no longer at all.

Now that the struggle has come to light, there is no need to hide anything.

So he remained silent.

However, the civil and military officials in the court had their own thoughts. Some people applauded in their hearts, and some were worried. This kind of worry might not be because of the prince Wuji. After all,... Prince Wuji has been missing for more than ten years, and today, Zi has ascended the throne. His status is already awkward. People with conscience are just caring about the old love of the late emperor. Others... really have nothing to do with him.

What they were worried about was that things were obviously not so simple. The civil unrest occurred last night and the mutiny of Mengjin today. Who has such great energy to drive these waves?

It is obvious that judging from the various signs last night, all the struggles have been completely put on the table. No matter how it used to be, everyone was hiding, everyone was afraid of the situation, pretending to maintain the so-called stability of the court.

This was like this last night, today, so what tomorrow will happen tomorrow? No one knows. Everyone only knows that the next thing is the fight between gods and gods, each killing themselves. Where can they go in the temple, and can they still protect themselves? Or, can they be spared?

Deadly silence in the hall.

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows gently, and she outlined a curve in the corner of her mouth, and asked lightly: "Is that true? There is such a thing, Wuji... I will arrive in Mengjin today."

As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone had to express it.

Chen Zhijing stood up calmly. His face seemed to have been torn apart at this time and he had no scruples anymore: "My mother, Wuji is in danger, my son is willing to lead the troops and go to Mengjin immediately."

He said this, but he looked directly at his mother.

The love between mother and son is completely broken today.

The Empress Dowager stared at him. In fact, she didn't know what happened last night and what happened today. It was not only someone was making trouble, but also someone was demonstrating.

You see, in a blink of an eye, a large rebellion can occur in Beijing. In the blink of an eye, Meng Jin mutinys when he says something. So, how many trump cards does his son have not been revealed, and how many methods do he have?

The Empress Dowager hid all these thoughts in her heart, sighed deeply, looking a little tired, but she did not show any sadness, but said, "It's too late, everything is too late. At noon today, if the Ai family guessed well, Wuji would arrive in Mengjin. Mengjin had 7,000 soldiers, but they didn't know how much mutiny. Now even if they lead the troops, they can't save the near fire, Mu..."

She glanced at Queen Mother Mu.

Queen Mother Mu had already exchanged glances with Chen Kaizhi. She knew that she should show a little bit of a mother's love. Mu's eyes suddenly turned red and she choked and said, "My son hopes to go to Mengjin."

"No, you are a woman, what are you doing there?" The Empress Dowager looked at Empress Dowager Mu and said coldly from the corner of her mouth: "Life and death are destined, wealth and honor are in heaven. Wuji is a blessed person, and naturally he can turn misfortune into good fortune."

Queen Mother Mu covered her face very uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to say much.

The Empress Dowager sighed: "It's really not settled, and it's been a while. Now, the Ai family is powerless, so wait, wait..."

She stood up, not seemingly worried, and said, "The Ai family is exhausted. I have been busy all night. How can I bear this old bone? Let's retreat, let's retreat."

She waved her hand and left.

There were countless people looking at each other, but they were at a loss.

Prince Wuji is now in such a dangerous situation, but the Empress Dowager is so indifferent. What is the rhythm?

Queen Mother Mu calmed down a lot, but her face still showed a burning look, but she said, "Disast, everyone, Chen Kaizhi, stay."

This time, Chen Kaizhi's reason was very sufficient. The Empress Dowager was a mother. As a mother, the "son" who had finally lost and recovered was in danger again, so she naturally needed to discuss it with her confidant.

Chen Kaizhi stayed and followed him to Kunning Palace. In the bedroom, Empress Dowager Mu breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly held Chen Kaizhi's hand and said kindly: "You... really worried the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is a little bit short of her. She thought you really wanted to rebel last night."

Chen Kaizhi shook his head: "My son knows the importance of it. Whether it is the person behind King Zhao or the Empress Dowager, it is not simple. What is the number of people in the son son? It is good to be able to protect himself. Please rest assured. My mother is all about my heart."

Queen Mother Mu nodded, as if she was relieved: "I have wanted you to enter the palace these two days and wanted to see you more. Last night you didn't sleep all night and I thought about it. I didn't want to leave you behind, but after thinking about it, it would be better to discuss it with you."

She immediately cheered up and knew that it was not the most urgent thing to talk about the mother-son relationship. Now she felt as if she was in the abyss and wanted to plan for Chen Kaizhi. She said, "Did you notice the reaction of your mother today?"

Chen Kaizhi nodded: "I have noticed it. Mengjin's mutiny is actually expected by my sons. I think that my mother has also expected it. Since that's the case, how could the Empress Dowager not have predicted it? The civil unrest last night, coupled with today's mutiny, was His Highness Zhao's demonstration. I thought about it. The Empress Dowager is so calm and light, and seems to be unhurried and impatient. If you ignore this matter so much, will it be the Empress Dowager... also want to demonstrate?"

Queen Mother Mu frowned slightly, then stretched out: "The Ai family understands what you mean, that is, the Empress Dowager released the news that Wuji will go from Chang'an to Luoyang. In essence, she was waiting for the reaction of King Zhao. The more King Zhao reacted, the more happy the mother was, because... she also wanted to establish her authority, but... how could she establish her authority?"

Chen Kaizhi smiled: "Then wait and see. This is a good show. You can try the depth of the Empress Dowager and King Zhao."

Queen Mother Mu thought: "Yes, I'm watching from the wall. There are so many things that I can't guess. The Ai family was most afraid of King Zhao in the past, but now it seems that King Zhao is not worth worrying about. The Ai family thinks that there must be someone behind the King Zhao. And the Queen Mother is even more difficult to predict, but you have to be careful."
