Yao Wenzhi seemed to be talking about his family affairs.

He is clearly the chief minister of the cabinet, and the person he is speaking to is also the current auxiliary government official, but he is like an ordinary old man, just saying the words of Chen Zhimao.

But Chen Kaizhi knew that every word Yao Wenzhi said must have profound meaning.

So he listened with great care.

After all, Yao Wenzhi is not simple. People who can see through the thoughts of the Empress Dowager and sit firmly on the Grand Secretary will definitely not just talk about family matters and irrelevant things.

Seeing Chen Kaizhi's serious look, Yao Wenzhi smiled and said a little bitter: "The children and grandchildren are not promising, but I have created such a big business for them. If I leave, go away and give it to them, what's the use?" He shook his head: "It's useless. If I lose it, they will be like a group of children walking at night with Jin Yuanbao. With their little promising, this business cannot be kept. Even in my opinion, it would be good not to say that it would be to keep it, not to mention that it would cause a huge disaster."

"Every time I think of this, I can't sleep at night. Although I am the chief minister of the cabinet and should plan for the country, I can't even keep my family. How can I do my best? So... I have done the only thing I have done over the years to give kindness, give more people kindness, and make people think about my goodness. Even if it's just a little bit, at least in the future, my children and grandchildren will have trouble. I can't say that the cause planted today can produce fruit tomorrow. What is kindness? But no one dares to offend."

He said, tears started to sway.

"When King Zhao was there, I did not dare to stick to him because I was afraid of offending Empress Dowager Mu on the other side. Now, I dare not offend Empress Dowager, nor dare to offend Your Highness. But, I am as clear as a mirror. There is no such thing as two things in this world. If I please this today, I will offend this tomorrow."

"So...it's hard to be a human being."

Chen Kaizhi was cold on his face, looking at him with clear eyes and spoke indifferently.

"It seems that Mr. Yao is well aware of this principle. Since Mr. Yao is well aware of the difficulties during the period, he also knows that every thing Mr. Yao does will come at a cost in the future."

Yao Wenzhi nodded, looking open and honest: "This is why I wait for Your Highness only. I am not talented and I am willing to be your Highness..."

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said coldly to him: "No need."

Yao Wenzhi showed disappointment. He didn't seem to expect Chen Kaizhi to refuse, so he shook his head repeatedly: "Since that's the case, so I... Oh... I have one thing, so I dare not tell you."

Chen Kaizhi frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"

Yao Wenzhi did not threaten Chen Kaizhi again, saying anything if His Highness did not promise anything, I would not dare to tell him, but said without hesitation: "There is a prince in Ganquan Palace."

This statement surprised Chen Kaizhi very much.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but frown and asked in shock: "Seriously, is it the real prince?"

Yao Wenzhi smiled, stroked his beard and said, "Actually, this is not difficult to guess."

It turned out to be a guess.

Chen Kaizhi felt that Yao Wenzhi was mysterious. This guy really didn't even have capital, so he wanted to reconcile with Chen Kaizhi, which was really a loss for him.

But Yao Wenzhi refused to let go, but said, "Have you ever thought that the Empress Dowager of the Great Empress Dowager has been dormant in Ganquan Palace for so many years? In fact, both Your Highness and I know what the Empress Dowager want. Since she has been planning for so long, she will definitely have a reserve plan for anything she does. Your Majesty, is it really reliable for the Empress Dowager? Since it is unreliable, then what should I do? She must have a backup plan, so I will definitely dare to say that there is a prince in Ganquan Palace.

,This prince is probably fake, but what does it matter? Since she made careful arrangements, she will definitely have a way to prove the identity of this prince. Now His Highness seems to have the upper hand. His Highness can take this opportunity to eliminate the Yang family's power in the capital in one fell swoop. However, Guanzhong is still the back garden of the Yang family. Moreover, the Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager after all, and his identity is transcendent. If His Highness wants to overthrow her, he is afraid that it will never be possible to accomplish anything without sufficient preparation."

Once the talk was opened, Yao Wenzhi was out of control and analyzed endlessly.

"Your Highness is preparing, and most of the Empress Dowager is preparing too. The reserved prince must be the most important killer weapon for the Empress Dowager. You should prepare early."

Although Chen Kaizhi was quite disgusted with this guy's nonsense, he had to admit that Yao Wenzhi's guess was most likely correct.

Chen Kaizhi smiled at him: "Why is Mr. Yao telling me these things?"

Yao Wenzhi said ashamed: "It's nothing else. I just hope that if one day I can protect the Yao family in the future, that's all. In fact, what I want is not that my children and grandchildren can be rich and noble. In fact, I don't dare to expect this anymore, I just hope that my children and grandchildren can be safe!"

Chen Kaizhi nodded, but did not agree. He was somewhat wary of Yao Wenzhi, and just nodded and said, "It's not too early, Mr. Yao, say goodbye."

Yao Wenzhi looked at Chen Kaizhi deeply. He knew that Chen Kaizhi had no promise, just because Chen Kaizhi wanted to listen to his words and observe his actions.

Chen Kaizhi walked out of the palace and faced him, but saw Fang Wucai and Yang Chang hurried into the palace. The two came together, panting. It was the Empress Dowager who thought it was urgently summoning the two into the palace.

Chen Kaizhi passed them by, Yang Chang looked at Chen Kaizhi meaningfully and quickly withdrew his gaze. However, Uncle Fang never even looked at Chen Kaizhi, as if he was a stranger.

The two of them received the oral order from the Empress Dowager and rushed over without stopping. They ignored Chen Kaizhi and went all the way to Wanshou Palace.

Now, the contradiction has finally become clear, just like Chen Wuji is outspoken in front of all civil and military officials, leaving Chen Kaizhi in public. Everyone understands that His Majesty and King Beijing are going to discuss major events; these two people do not need any concealment.

In Wanshou Palace, the Empress Dowager's face turned pale, her eyes were gloomy and filled with anger. The anger in her eyes seemed to burn the surroundings.

She sat alone in the empty bedroom and held everyone away. When Fang Wu and Yang Chang arrived, before they could salute, the Empress Dowager stared at Yang Chang coldly: "What's going on?"

Yang Chang is the governor of Mingjing Division, specializing in inquiring about information. Naturally, he should know what happened outside?

Yang Chang was panting and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "I also have many things I don't know. I only know that Chen Kaizhi was suddenly ordered to be the Duke of Wende. Then, Wang Shijie from the Hue Army was taken by several Jinyiwei. Afterwards, I thought about it and felt more and more strange. The Empress, Chen Kaizhi and others almost occupied our initiative everywhere, as if they knew everything about us. I... I boldly speculated that maybe... maybe... maybe someone leaked the news, or maybe Chen Kaizhi was next to the Empress Dowager and put his ears in his eyes and ears, it might not be."

At present, what else can Yang Chang say is the only explanation.

The whole thing is really weird and excessive. Yang Chang still can't sort out the clues. Apart from this explanation, there seems to be no more reasonable explanation.

The Empress Dowager calmed down a little anger, narrowed her eyes and said lightly: "Ai family, there are some doubts about this. If you think about it carefully, these plans were originally impeccable and airtight, but they were controlled everywhere. It seemed... there was no other explanation except for Chen Kaizhi's eyes and ears around him."

The Empress Dowager's face became colder and a little angry: "But this plan, not many people know about it. Even people like Wang Shijie only know the tip of the iceberg. So what? Can Chen Kaizhi know so thoroughly and clearly?"

The Empress Dowager said, staring at Yang Chang tightly. At the same time, his eyes swept across Fang Wucai like a blade.

Yang Chang was still in a state of fear, and his back was wet with cold sweat. He suddenly looked at Fang Wucai, then gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, I think that the Empress will never disclose the news if there are only three people who know about this, but..." He looked at Fang Wucai and said sternly: "Mr. Fang, what do you think?"

I can't understand this very much.

Yang Chang almost pointed at Fang Wucai's nose and cursed, "You Fang Wucai are Chen Kaizhi's detailed work."

The Empress Dowager was still as cold as cold as frost, but she still didn't speak, but there was a suffocating murderous intent in her eyes.

She said slowly: "Mr. Fang... How does the Ai family treat you?"

Now, even she was suspicious, and now she thought about it, this might be getting bigger and bigger. Her seemingly careless questioning also made Yang Chang feel relieved. He knew very well, Mr. Fang, he was dead.

Fang Wucai seemed very calm, bowed to the Empress Dowager, and said word by word: "The family treats students with kindness as much as a mountain."

"Very good." The Empress Dowager bowed, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Fang Wucai with her eyes curled up, as if she wanted to find more clues from Fang Wucai: "Since the Ai family has not treated you well, then the Ai family wants to ask, Mr. Fang seemed to have had some dealings with King Beijing in the past."

"Yes." Fang Wucai admitted calmly: "The student was ordered by King Zhao and others to find out the depth of Chen Kaizhi, but he had some friendship with him."

The Empress Dowager smiled: "So, Mr. Fang thought that the Ai family should believe what Governor Yang said?"

Another meaning of this is, are you, Fang Wucai, doing it in detail?

I’m afraid Fang Wu said something wrong, which caused the Empress Dowager to be suspicious. Today, I won’t think of leaving Wanshou Palace.

The atmosphere was particularly tense for a moment.
