Chapter eight hundred and sixteen: great misfortune

Chen Yishou is different from Chen Wuji and Chen Kaizhi.

As intoxicated as he had been intoxicated since childhood, his father and ancestors repeatedly warned the so-called saints that everyone around him was proud to be able to study in Qufu. As for Yan Shenggong, it was even more of a holy line. In the hearts of scholars like Chen Yishou, Qufu was their utopia, where everything was beautiful, and in that utopia, every Yan Shenggong was the embodiment of moral etiquette and the place of the sacred kingdom.

It is the place that each of them dreams of and is extremely looking forward to going to, and it is the sacred place that their ancestors have been sharpening their heads for generations to pursue.

Now that the bad news came, he subconsciously felt a soreness in his nose. The old man, who was usually known for his straightness, suddenly blurred his eyes, as if the world had stopped, his eyes were confused and he could not see anything.

"Hey, this is a great misfortune, a great misfortune..." He choked and shook his head: "Now Yan Sheng Gong has inherited the throne for twenty or three years... Alas..." As he said, his hoarse voice could no longer continue and he was already speechless.

Chen Wuji looked at Chen Yishou curiously. He seemed unable to understand. The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet who had been contradicting the Empress Dowager these days had become so sad and sensitive today.

Chen Kaizhi had a expressionless face and then looked at Chen Wuji. His eyes seemed to say, Your Majesty, although the various schools of thought were deliberately and secretly accumulated strength and planned major plans, it was just... In today's world, there was no one in the six countries in the world, which could be shaken by the various schools of thought. Such a concept that has been deeply rooted in thousands of years is really terrible.

Chen Kaizhi stood up and said to Chen Yishou: "Mr. Chen, please feel sorry for me."

Chen Yishou took a deep breath, looked up at Chen Kaizhi's eyes, but remembered something: "Kaizhi, why are you not sad?"

The voice was full of confusion.

Chen Kaizhi said lightly to Chen Yishou: "I don't want to, I really can't pretend." He spread his hands.

Chen Yishou calmed down. He seemed to be thinking that Chen Kaizhi obviously did not have much kindness towards Yansheng Gong Mansion. He said for a long time: "No matter what, I have to pretend, I will say goodbye."

He stood up, said goodbye and left.

Chen Kaizhi and Chen Wuji looked at each other, and Chen Kaizhi nodded: "Your Majesty, I will say goodbye."

After coming out of the palace, it was obvious that the bad news had spread throughout the capital. In a blink of an eye, the spring-filled Luoyang City was a little more desolate. Many scholars began to wear plain Confucian clothes, and some people hung white pans on the lintel, and the entire Luoyang City was in a faint sadness.

Chen Kaizhi returned to Feiyu Peak and looked up and saw that someone had already raised Baipan on the mountain gate. After going up the mountain, he saw that Mr. Yan and others had all changed into plain clothes.

Fortunately, Mr. Yan and others did not show too much grief. However, the teacher was already in pain, his eyes were swollen, and he obviously cried for a long time.

Chen Kaizhi invited Mr. Yan, Yang Biao and others into the study. Mr. Yan looked at Chen Kaizhi and said lightly to him: "Your Highness, it's time to change into plain clothes."

"Yes." Chen Kaizhi nodded. It was one thing to respect or despise him. But the current trend is like this, and he must not appear alien. He will only become the target of criticism of the world. As he said that, someone had prepared a simple shirt and Chen Kaizhi replaced him. Then, Chen Kaizhi knelt down and looked at Mr. Yan and others. This time, the bad news suddenly came from Yan Shenggong was a bit surprised.

Unexpectedly, he and Wang Gang told Zhao that Yan Shenggong was not good, so he went there. It was really worse than God's calculations.

Mr. Yan looked at Chen Kaiyi, sighed, and then said, "Seven days later, the Holy Lord will be in funeral. At that time, all countries will definitely send envoys to Qufu quickly. Then, Mr. Huaiyi will ascend to the throne. Mr. Huaiyi has some hatred towards His Highness?"

Chen Kaizhi said bluntly: "Yes."

Mr. Yan frowned and looked at Yang Biao and others beside him, and everyone seemed a little nervous.

Mr. Yan frowned deeper and stroked his beard and said worriedly: "Then, this matter is difficult. I have just read the recent report sent by the Jinyiwei, including the Thirteenth chapter of Chen Zi. "The Thirteenth chapter of Chen Zi" was born and became popular all over the world because it was on the Tianlist. However, whether in Qufu, Luoyang, or in various countries, there are praises and criticisms, and after all, there are still some controversy."

Chen Kaizhi nodded. He was mentally prepared for this. There were different opinions among schools. Chen Zi's Thirteen Articles emerged and put forward his own opinions. They were not only novel, but also not inferior to those of other schools.

But the problem is that people who read this book will naturally have their likes and dislikes. If someone likes it, they will naturally have people who like it and think it is too shocking.

Mr. Yan shook his head gently.

"Then, the most important thing is that the ruling of this book is ultimately on the new Yansheng Gong, that is, the Prince Huaiyi. If Prince Huaiyi criticized this book at this time, it would be troublesome. Once it was criticized, it would represent the attitude of the Yansheng Gong Mansion. Xuegong from other schools would definitely be in harmony with Yansheng Gong. Your Highness was able to assist in the government because His Highness's articles were included in the Heavenly List. Once Yansheng Gong believed that this book was arbitrary, the meaning would be completely different. Now, Yansheng Gong passed away, and scholars all over the world missed Yansheng Gong and looked forward to Mr. Huaiyi Gong. Any ruling he made on this book would have a great impact."

"What's more, the Empress Dowager will not miss this opportunity." Mr. Yan looked at Chen Kaizhi, his eyes full of worry, and then he said intently: "She will definitely take this opportunity to send someone to attend the funeral to persuade Young Master Huaiyi. Once the two of them cooperate with each other, your highness's assistant government will not only be unsecured, but also very likely to reveal huge flaws, giving the Empress Dowager a chance to fight back."

Mr. Yan's words are not alarmist.

It is very important now. If the Empress Dowager intends to punish Chen Kaizhi, then this is a good opportunity.

It was obviously to deal with him by the young master Huaiyi.

Chen Kaizhi is not stupid. He knew very well that once he was ruled as a rebellious person, then these thirteen articles of Chen Zi would become deceiving people's hearts and infatuating people. Even if it is listed as a forbidden book, Chen Kaizhi would become the target of public criticism.

"So, you must never let Mr. Huaiyi issue this academic order?" Chen Kaizhi said lightly, his face seemed extremely cold.

"Yes." Mr. Yan sighed and said, "I am in Qufu, and I have some old friends and are also the teacher of the ancestors of the ancestors. This time, I want to go to Qufu and run for His Highness. No matter what, I have to meet Mr. Huaiyi, and I am very sad. Perhaps, there is still room for improvement in things."

The others were still tense just now, but they thought that Mr. Yan and the Yan Shenggong Mansion had a close relationship, so they were relieved. If Mr. Yan took action, things seemed to be in a dark and bright situation.

But Chen Kaizhi shook his head and smiled: "I and Young Master Huaiyi..." Chen Kaizhi stood up, walked to the windowsill of the study, raised his eyes and looked at it, then he turned around and smiled again: "It can be said that there is an irreconcilable hatred. This is definitely not something that someone says, but there is room for change. I deeply agree with this."

"So..." Chen Kaizhi's lips curled up slightly, and he actually smiled: "Look, this has always been the case in this world. Even if it is just an article, it can involve countless interests. How much do you know about Mr. Huaiyi?"

This sentence turned people down.

Mr. Yan was slightly stunned, and even he could not guarantee how much he knew about Mr. Huaiyi.

But Chen Kaizhi said confidently: "You don't understand, but I know him very thoroughly. Being a human being is like writing an article. Everyone has different tastes about the article. In fact, everyone has different natures. If you understand a person's nature, you will know how to deal with such a person, so..."

Chen Kaizhi said this and paused: "So Mr. Yan, you must not go to Qufu. No one here is allowed to go. I have my own way."

"But now, the only question is, who will the Empress Dowager ask to go to the funeral?"

"Can it be that Mr. Fang?" Chen Yixing couldn't help but say, "This person is now the heart of the Empress Dowager. It is said that the Empress Dowager has summoned him into the palace five times in the past three days, which is really rare."

"It's not him." Chen Kaizhi looked far away: "The Empress Dowager summoned him to the palace many times, which means that the Empress Dowager had something in his heart and some things that were difficult to make a judgment, so someone around him needed to speak. Since Mr. Fang was loved by the Empress Dowager, he could not let him go. Then Duke Shun would definitely be left by the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager usually finds it difficult to trust a person. Once he trusted him, he would never let him leave the capital easily. Eight out of ten people sent were from the Yang family..."

When Chen Kaizhi said this, the smile on the corner of his mouth became even more intense: "Now, we have to see if the Empress Dowager has the ability to win over Mr. Huaiyi; or if my Chen Kaizhi's method is more effective."

He then calmed down and said to everyone: "Sir, you don't have to ask about Qufu's affairs these days. I will make arrangements. No matter what rumors are outside, you don't have to remember them. At that time, there are only two things that matter most, to accumulate grain and build high walls."

"Mr. Yang, you have to go to Jibei. Jibei is the place where Emperor Taizu Gao of Longxing. In the future, it is very likely that it will be our place to settle down. Mr. Yan stays on the mountain to handle official duties. Mr. Chen..." He looked at his uncle Chen Yixing: "You must be responsible for continuing to recruit children from the clan to go up the mountain. You are now one of the few elders in the clan. It is most appropriate for you to take charge of the children of the clan to go up the mountain."
