Eight hundred and twentieth chapters: people block murder
Facing Chen Kaizhi who was as calm as water.
Mr. Wu was very worried. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva before continuing: "Your Highness think about it, this Holy Lord is not someone else after all, how could it be threatened in a few words, humble... I'm really worried."
Chen Kaizhi looked up at Wu Qianshi, then shook his head at him and said solemnly: "It's OK."
Mr. Wu was even more puzzled and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, you are really so confident."
"Because I know this Yan Sheng Gong." Chen Kaizhi smiled, as if he didn't take this matter too seriously.
Mr. Wu frowned, his eyes full of confusion: "This... Your Highness knows what this Holy Lord is... Who is..."
Chen Kaiyi said word by word: "This is a sect!"
As it was getting late, he stood up and walked to the windowsill. He seemed to feel that the windowsill was a little stuffy. Chen Kaizhi pushed the window, and the cold wind came in outside, blowing on his body, and a hint of coolness penetrated into his heart, but he didn't feel cold.
Chen Kaizhi narrowed his eyes deeply, looked into the distance, and then spoke indifferently.
"Look, the sky is getting warmer, and this spring is about to pass. Speaking of which, it is a pity that there is not much drizzle when spring begins this year. There are always many regrets in this world, but the same thing is very beneficial to some people." Chen Kaizhi looked back and looked at Wu Qianshi with a little childlike interest, with a gentle raised corner of his mouth, revealing a smile.
"So people are never the same as people. Why do people always end up being divided into nine grades? For me, these nine grades are not about their origins. For example, although the current Holy Lord is inherited by noble inheritance, these people are confused by his identity. He is born with golden light, which makes people unable to see through him. But I see through it, because there has never been this innate shining golden light in my eyes. If I ignore these, I can see through his skin, his bones, and his heart!"
Wu Chenshi thought something and said, "I heard from Your Highness that he said, and he had a little enlightenment. For example, those high-ranking scholars and ministries who are usually intimidated and respected by everyone. Isn't this the golden light on his body? But once he was convicted and was sent to the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei, he was whipped a few times, but he was still like ordinary people, and he was left with only howling and crying. Does Your Highness mean this?
Chen Kaizhi smiled at him: "It's good that you can understand. Since you have this insight, why do you still care about the so-called saints and so-called nobles? They are just like you, just like you. Noble people may not be afraid of death. Those who are humble may have a few generous righteous men."
Mr. Wu seemed to have become enlightened. After thinking about it carefully, he felt more and more reasonable. He couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness's words are thought-provoking, and the humble ones benefit a lot."
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but shake his head at him: "This is what my uncle taught me."
"Your Highness and uncle, but I don't know which of the nobles is, I really want to see you."
Chen Kaizhi ignored it, looked at him with a pair of clear eyes, and then smiled and joked: "What, you still want to inquire about this king."
"No, no..." Wu Chenshi's heart was shaking: "I dare not be humble."
Chen Kaizhi held the windowsill and looked up at the moonlight. The hazy moonlight was like a crescent moonlight, covering the world with a layer of frost, confusing people's eyes. Chen Kaizhi's eyes were ignorant. He suddenly remembered that when he was in Jinling, he had raised his eyes to look at such a moon. Unfortunately, the person was still this person, and the moonlight was still the same, but the plants and trees around him, the house and the brothel next door had long disappeared.
Chen Kaizhi pursed his lips gently. Although there was no time on his face, his eyes looking at the moon gradually became old. No matter how bright he was, he might have experienced too much and seen too much, and even the bright luster became deeper.
So memories poured into my mind like a lantern, and scenes were so unforgettable, but there were people who wanted to deal with him.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but think: "Why do those memories that are not long ago but are poor still remember them in their hearts? Perhaps, this is a warning to myself all the time, and we must never forget them, because the more poor and humble they are, the more unbearable the memories they are, they will remind themselves every moment that they must never go back to the past. Zhang Ruyu did not stop him, and the former King Zhao could not teach him that he would never be able to do anything. Today... the Empress Dowager is the same. Whoever stops me and takes away everything I have now is my irreconcilable enemy, and those who block me will die!"
That murderous intent passed by Chen Kaizhi's eyes.
Chen Kaizhi then returned to his kindness and said to Wu Qianshi: "I have nothing to do these days, so I'll take a break earlier. Don't take the rumors outside to heart."
…………
The next day, at dawn, there was a mist.
Chen Kaizhi had already rode a horse to Zhengding Gate.
At this time of day, he needs to enter the court. This is the old rule. As a regent, he has the power to enter and exit the palace at any time and has the power to discuss matters. He always cannot avoid himself in the world.
As usual, he got off his horse in front of the palace gate and walked to Wenlou. Today, the Empress Dowager and Chen Wuji came early, and several Grand Secretary of the Cabinet had arrived.
They remained silent, obviously waiting for Chen Kaizhi to come.
Chen Kaizhi came in, bowed, and knelt in his seat.
The Empress Dowager smiled at everyone: "Today, everyone is coming too early, but the Regent is too late."
Chen Kaizhi also laughed.
"I slept a little late last night."
The Empress Dowager smiled again and said, "The Regent is a model for his ministers and workers, but he doesn't know what the Regent is thinking about?"
Chen Kaizhi had no expression on his face, but for a long time, he said casually: "There are scholars outside who slander their subordinates. Do you know if the Empress Dowager knows?"
The voice he spoke was very light, there was not much emotion, nor did he show any anxiety, and he seemed calm and composed.
Yao Wenzhi looked completely unaware of this. Of course, anyone with discerning eyes knew that this was pretending.
As for Chen Yishou, there must be some news and he can't help but show his worry.
Chen Wuji stared at Chen Kaizhi and said, "I know a little about this."
He paused, and then spoke seriously: "I will issue an order now to order the Jinyiwei and Mingjing Sili to take some..."
"Your Majesty..." The Empress Dowager knelt like a rock, but raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Kaizhi with sharp eyes before she said carelessly: "How can the imperial court cut off the road of speech? Your Majesty's new king ascended the throne. Everyone is looking forward to this matter. This matter should be to eliminate the bad policies of the previous dynasty and to innovate at the beginning of the year. If you punish the crime with words, you will only be afraid that the people of the world will not accept it."
As she said that, she did not give Chen Wuji a chance to continue speaking, but looked at Yao Wenzhi and asked lightly: "Yao Qing family, what do you think?"
Yao Wenzhi glanced at Chen Wuji, then looked at the Empress Dowager, and lowered his head: "The old minister thought that the Empress was very worried, but those scholars were too distorted..."
His tone seemed to be trying not to offend him. It was seen that the Empress Dowager's cold eyes fell over and then he smiled again: "So the old minister thought it would be better to make a long-term plan for this matter. In fact, scholars talk nonsense, and this is also a matter of being a long-term practice. Although the late emperors of all dynasties were angry about this, most of them ignored it. Why? It was just that it hurt people's hearts because it could not be done. Your Majesty has the power to accommodate all rivers, and Your Highness Beijing is even more generous. I think it will not be investigated."
He had to say all the good things.
Chen Wuji seemed a little annoyed, his handsome face became gloomy, and his eyes became deep and cold.
Chen Kaizhi laughed and said lightly: "No."
These two words of him made everyone look at each other.
Yao Wenzhi seemed embarrassed, as if he had a premonition that Chen Kaizhi would come to criticize him in the court. If so, his old cabinet master would be out of glory.
The Empress Dowager looked at Chen Kaizhi with a smile and said with an unhappy look: "What, can you say, King Beijing, don't you have any elegance?"
Chen Kaizhi shook his head, "The reason why I think it is wrong is because instead of letting others talk nonsense, it is better to accept Confucian scholars who have prejudices against me and invite them to come. I really want to see and hear with my own eyes what prejudices they have. If I really have done anything, I will naturally have to change it. But if there is a false criticism and the untrue thing, I should also try my best to argue for myself."
“…”
this……
He just said that he was not open-minded enough, but he expected that Chen Kaizhi would be really big.
He would not know how many people criticize him behind his back. Don’t he know that there is no wind or wave? Do you think that the more you distinguish the truth, the more you will be able to understand it?
He even had to debate in court. Isn’t this...Is it enough to be full? You, Chen Kaizhi, still have to fight against all the scholars?
Yao Wenzhi smiled awkwardly: "Your Highness, no wonder your articles are on the list of heaven... I admire them."
The word "admiration" comes from the heart.
After all, not everyone is afraid to face criticism and wants to call the critic in front of him. This is because he doesn’t feel embarrassed enough.
The Empress Dowager was a little surprised at first, then stared at Chen Kaizhi, as if she wanted to see through Chen Kaizhi's thoughts, but she couldn't see through them. She felt a little panicked, but in the blink of an eye, her heart calmed down again, and then she said slowly.
"This is a good thing, there are some misunderstandings, just clarify it. Since King Beijing hopes to clarify it, this is very good. The Ai family will see that in a few days, the court will discuss it and invite the scholars and great scholars to the Zhengde Hall. King Beijing has a perfect tongue, so he will definitely clarify the rumors outside."
