Chapter 812: The Road to Overlord
The Empress Dowager did suffer a critical blow this time, but she never expected that she would soon regain her foothold, especially the last explanation, which made Chen Kaizhi admire. If it were King Zhao, he might not have such cultivation and would be so vague.
He looked like a ok person.
After the Empress Dowager said that, she glanced at everyone and then stood up. Seeing this, Chen Wuji looked at Chen Kaizhi with a smile in his eyes and also stood up.
The eunuch sang, and the court agreed to end.
But as soon as the Empress Dowager and Chen Wuji left, Yao Wenzhi and others had already retreated directly, but a large number of ministers stayed and surrounded Chen Kaizhi: "Your Highness Beijing, congratulations, congratulations."
Facing everyone's congratulations, Chen Kaizhi was not very happy, but smiled at them.
He knew very well that today's court discussion had made everyone realize what. Many ministers did not have much courage, but it did not mean that they did not know what happened in the court. His Majesty told the ministers so bluntly that he was completely controlled by the Empress Dowager.
At the age of the Empress Dowager, why did she interfere in the affairs of the court in this way?
And the order to seek talents is clearly targeted, which makes people start to worry.
On the contrary, Your Majesty's actions today are obviously favoring this King of Beijing.
In fact, at the beginning, many people accepted the hint that outside the court, King Beijing represented His Majesty.
The worried person originally wanted to be an ostrich, but this good news from the list of heaven and man has ignited hope.
What's more, King Beijing has now entered the dynasty to assist in the government, which is even more exciting.
At least the Empress Dowager dared not hold the emperor hostage, and they couldn't help but have other thoughts in their hearts.
Chen Kaizhi greeted them one by one and said, "You guys are in love. In a few days, I will prepare a few banquets and invite you to have a few glasses of water and wine."
Everyone understood something in their hearts and said goodbye one after another.
Chen Kaizhi also quickly walked out of the hall. The banquet in a few days later was a celebration on the surface, but in fact, it was more like a rehearsal. Whoever is a friend and an enemy at that time could not be clearly defined, at least there would be a preliminary concept.
After leaving the palace, Chen Kaizhi felt happy. Saint, this is something that many people dream of. I didn’t expect it to be realized in him. But he has a clear understanding of it than anyone else, so he must not be proud and complacent. He rode his horse back to the Northern Town Fushi.
When he returned to the Beizhen Fushi, he immediately called Wu Qianshi: "In half an hour, I will go to the imperial prison, please arrange it."
The assistant minister of Wu was as clear as a mirror. His Highness wanted to go to the imperial prison, so he was naturally preparing to meet the death row prisoner, King Zhao.
King Zhao is about to be executed, and now he is waiting for the final review of Dali Temple. Then, after reporting the list into the palace, he will be forced to land.
Since Your Highness has given such instructions, it must be the best confidentiality of this matter, and the fewer people know, the better.
Mr. Wu looked around carefully, then whispered: "I'm so humble and let's make arrangements."
Half an hour later, Chen Kaizhi came to the cell. Perhaps Wu Junshi had made arrangements, at least King Chen Zhijing of Zhao was no longer arranged in a dark and humid environment. The place seemed much cleaner, and Chen Zhijing was treated much better than before.
Although he was wearing a cloth dress, he looked pretty neat and in good spirits, unlike when he first came in.
Chen Kaizhi walked in, paced back and forth for a few steps before stopping. Seeing that Chen Zhijing's eyes were moving on him, Chen Kaizhi smiled at him: "From tomorrow, I will enter the dynasty to assist in the government."
Chen Zhijing immediately showed a complicated expression.
Once upon a time, he also entered the dynasty to assist in government administration. He thought that he had reached the peak of his life, but he never thought that this peak was the end of his life and eventually became a prisoner of death.
Chen Kaizhi glanced at him and saw that he didn't seem to be too emotional. Then he said again: "It's really strange that things in the world. I know why, would I come here and want to meet the emperor's uncle?"
Chen Kaizhi called him the emperor's uncle, which made Chen Zhijing slightly stunned.
However, although Chen Kaizhi called him that, he did not have too many expressions, let alone much tenderness.
Chen Kaizhi stared at him: "Because I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the emperor."
Chen Zhijing heard the words and smiled.
Yes, this is such a wonderful scene.
He nodded: "More than ten years ago, the emperors were assisting in the government, and finally, they were all cut off, leaving only one King Ruyang who was neither human nor ghost. A few years ago, I was assisting in the government, but now I am not as good as death. I think there are not many days to live, and I survive here, like a waste of people. But today... I really didn't expect that you have followed our footsteps. I really don't know whether to cry or laugh."
Chen Kaizhi sat down, looked at him, and said word by word: "Things are nothing but three things. With your past lessons, I will definitely not be like you. I will remember your lessons, and will never allow myself to have any flaws, and will never give people the opportunity to make final calculations."
"I hope." Chen Zhijing didn't have much confidence, but laughed again, and then said earnestly to Chen Kaizhi: "But now, Chen's only hope is on you."
Chen Kaizhi refused to comment, and he raised his eyes: "Also, I have found that mother and son, and they are fine now."
Chen Zhi smiled with a gratitude and looked at Chen Kaizhi. His eyes were a little satisfied. Then he said, "If this is the case, I will have no regrets even if I die."
"Are there no regrets?" Chen Kaizhi shook his head: "If I were the emperor uncle, I would have many regrets and I would be in a state of resentment."
"Repentance is useless." Chen Zhijing thought for a while: "You want to come and ask what are you doing."
Chen Kaizhi said: "I want letters from you to everyone."
Chen Zhijing was stunned and looked at Chen Kaizhi meaningfully.
Chen Kaizhi said: "Mingjingsi has searched your residence and found many letters from you who have interacted with ministers. Most of these ministers are regarded as remnants, but they are not protected now. The Jinyiwei has also checked it, but he feels that the letters that have been searched are probably not just that, but many people have not found any letters, right?"
Chen Zhijing was silent, he thought for a while: "If I told the truth, you might not believe it."
"You said." Chen Kaizhi knew very well that these letters were of great importance, and he did not believe that Chen Zhijing had only such letters. Now, by searching the Zhao Palace, many ministers have indeed been dismissed, but Chen Kaizhi still believed that there were still some hidden people, and even more confidential letters were still in the hands of Chen Zhijing.
I don't want to mention it when I see him.
Chen Kaizhi continued to say to him: "Uncle, I need these letters and contact these people. The strength of the Empress Dowager is really unpredictable. Now that I have assisted in the government, I must be prepared to compete with her. My only trump card at the moment is just the Jinyiwei and the Warriors Camp, but... this is far from enough. These can only temporarily protect me from safety, so that the Empress Dowager dare not act rashly. At most, the imperial guards can help me, but even if I can control the imperial guards, what can I do?"
Chen Kaizhi smiled self-deprecatingly: "These powers can only control the capital, but Da Chen is not only Luoyang City. I think, the emperor understands the meaning of this better than me."
Chen Zhijing shook his head and said with a sorry look: "Speak up, you will definitely not believe it. I have burned all these letters. Even if you want to know anything, I can do nothing."
"It's burned..." Chen Kaizhi's eyes flashed slightly.
Now that he has become an auxiliary government, Chen Kaizhi has long felt urgently that he must have enough strength to deal with the Empress Dowager. He needs to get along with the ministers in the court and gradually consolidate his strength outside the capital. He cannot learn from the King of Ruyang and the King of Zhao now. In order to prevent repeating the same mistakes and completely eradicate the people like the Empress Dowager, he must have enough strength.
Chen Zhi smiled respectfully: "Why do you always think that this king relies on letters to threaten people to cooperate with this king, and that many people have to become my subordinates?"
His rebellious question made Chen Kaizhi silent.
Because he felt that King Zhao should be such a person.
But Chen Zhijing smiled, and then solemnly told Chen Kaizhi: "You are wrong, you are all wrong, it's very wrong. Many people are willing to support me to drive it because they firmly believe that there are people in the court who want to shake the country of Chen for five hundred years. Over the past five hundred years, countless people have long believed that the world is the world of Chen, and that Chen should be the emperor. Many people believe in this and realize it.
In this court, how can they sit idly by the way in this court, when someone wants to overthrow the world of Dachen? Since he was born, he has read the books of sages, the books of sages, the books of sages, the monarchs and ministers, their fathers and grandchildren teach them this way, their teachers and friends teach them this way, their reading, their experience, and everything they have already believed that the world should be like this. You can say that they are foolish and loyal, but in fact, they take it for granted."
"So, once they noticed a certain atmosphere of conspiracy, they would unconsciously pin their hopes on the king like me. This... is the reason why I was able to assist in the government and make a statement. It was definitely not that the court granted a supplementary government titled, nor because I gave it to them, bribed them, and eventually, they left behind their letters of loyalty to threaten them."
"Do you think that by relying solely on these governors, governors, and the chief officials of these places can control these places? They are by no means stupid, and there are even many people who are much more wise than me."
