Chapter eight hundred and eighty nine: triumphant return

Chen Kaizhi only glanced at him, waved his hand lightly, and said lightly.

"Get up, what you said does not violate any rules, so why fear it? You don't want me to help you say hello to the city gate manager so that your carriages can enter the city at any time. I tell you the truth that the city gate will not be closed so early from tomorrow. The curfew at night will end, which will save you from worries."

Deng Jie felt a little relieved, as if he had been amnesty.

At first he thought Chen Kaizhi was just an ordinary noble son, and he was hoping to have a relationship with this young man. People who do business would never dislike him for having too many friends, but who would have thought...

At this time, he hurriedly thanked his kindness, but smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty returns safely. I am afraid that... Please forgive me for your crimes, and Cao Min speaks untruely."

Chen Kaizhi instantly understood his thoughts. This guy was doing business in troubled times. He wanted to take this opportunity to pull more supplies from outside the city into the city, so that he could sell it at a good price in the future. But once Luoyang is safe, a lot of charcoal will be sent to the city at any time, and his huge profit will be gone. So for him, whether the horse team can enter the city smoothly at any time now has no meaning, because it is okay whether he can enter the city or not.

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "Your business has been ruined, but my business has just begun."

Deng Jie was stunned. This guy seemed to be a very curious person, and he was brave: "Your Majesty is also doing business?"

"Of course I do business, but this business is a bit big, and it may ruin the bright future of many people. You just said that many scholars and officials may not even be as good as merchants. I agree with this. They all say that eating the king's fortune and being loyal to the king. But some people can't even do this. What else do I expect?"

He raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes as clear as water, and looked at the towering palace from afar.

It's time to clean up the people in the court.

His mood was not affected, but smiled at Deng Jie and waved his hand gently.

"Okay, I have something to do, I'm leaving."

Deng Jie felt like he was dreaming, and was stunned for a moment. He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare. When he raised his eyes, he saw that Chen Kaizhi was already heading towards Luoyang Palace surrounded by the guards. He slapped his forehead suddenly and remembered something.

"Oh, I have to ship it. If I don't ship it, it's bad."

In his mind, what he thinks about is always his goods.

Originally, I wanted to stock up on some money, but now it seems that everything is rising. Once this news comes out, the court issues His Majesty’s will, then everything will fall. At that time, if you want to ship it, don’t talk about profit, you will probably lose your money.

He shivered in fear, and then went crazy and headed towards his own store.

………………………………

In Luoyang Palace.

Although the sky is already dim, today is different from the past and the atmosphere is a bit solemn.

Queen Mother Mu, a grandson of the cabinet, a royal family, a tribe of various departments, as well as civil officials and military generals, are still silent in this literary building.

From early morning to this evening, many people have not yet entered the water.

But obviously, everyone stayed here at the same time. Queen Mother Mu looked at Grand Secretary Su Fang coldly, Wang Jian, Minister of Rites, and familiar faces.

Her heart was very heavy and she looked tired. When she looked at her eyes, everyone was silent.

Including King Zhao Chen Zhijing and the kings, they all knelt on the ground, silently, and seemed very solemn.

Chen Yishou showed anger on his face, but fortunately he held back his temper.

This dispute actually began two days ago.

Rumors broke out in Luoyang that it was His Majesty's commander-in-chief who had already fallen into the treacherous plan of the Guanzhong army. In Guanzhong, there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers waiting for Chen Kaizhi.

Chen Kaizhi only brought the Warriors camp to the scene, how could he withstand the ambush of elite soldiers?

Suddenly, some people thought it was nonsense in Luoyang City, but then they began to doubt it. Finally, from the analysis of various signs, it seemed that they could finally be confirmed.

The government and the country were shaking.

What does Your Majesty mean if he dies or falls into the hands of the people of Guanzhong?

Many people can't even imagine what the result will be.

As a result, some people's silent thoughts began to rekindle.

After all, the Empress Dowager has a very profound influence, and after all, many people have also received the benefits of the Yang family openly and secretly.

Of course, the most important thing is that everyone now understands that under the leadership of the dragon, the Kwantung Army of Hangu Pass took this opportunity to advance westward and conquered Luoyang in one fell swoop, which was even a very likely thing.

Under such circumstances, where to go has become everyone's choice, after all, it is related to your wealth and life.

The first Su Fang to welcome the saint.

In fact, many people never thought that it would be him who stood up. This once low-key Grand Secretary Su seemed to complain about Chen Yishou being the chief assistant Grand Secretary today.

Now people think about it in hindsight, it seems to be understandable.

Yao Wenzhi is an old minister of all dynasties, and his qualifications are far from comparable to Su Fang, so Su Fang did not have much thoughts in front of Yao Wenzhi, but Chen Yishou and Su Fang's qualifications are the same. However, Chen Kaizhi ascended the throne and the candidate for the Chief Supervisor and Grand Secretary naturally fell on Chen Kaizhi's head.

The real terror of this is that Yao Wenzhi is old, so Su Fang can wait. After all, there is still hope. Anyway, he is only fifty years old. If he waits for a few years, he will not be able to wait for Yao Wenzhi's body, and he still has a glimmer of hope.

Chen Yishou is two years younger than Su Fang. With the trust that this new king has given Chen Yishou, he will probably not be able to make a fortune in his life.

Once the emperor and the ministers, Su Fang refused Chen Kaizhi's kindness to win over, but now, it is even more difficult to gain trust. Su Fang even thought desperately, perhaps it won't take long to wait until Chen Kaizhi settled in the world, and it will be time for him to be exiled from the temple.

Of course, although Su Fang had complaints, she was helpless, but now it is different.

Chen Kaizhi will die.

This time there is no luck, and it is even more impossible to return to someone alive.

Since His Majesty was unfortunately killed, this time was a god-given opportunity.

Yesterday, he vaguely revealed his attitude, but today, he simply put forward his own opinions in front of Queen Mother Mu, and his tone seemed strong.

"Empress, at this point, the only priority is to protect the country. If Your Majesty fails, Luoyang will be without a leader, and the Guanzhong army will inevitably attack. At that time, the entire Guandong will be in war. The children of the Chen family will kill each other. If the ancestors and clans have spirits, they will definitely beat their chests and fall to their feet, and they will be sad. I dare to think that it is better to send envoys to discuss peace with the Prince of Mengjin. They are all the same clans, and they are all descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao. What can you say? "

His words were impeccable.

The implication is very obvious. What can the so-called peace talks out?

It was just to conceal the intention of welcoming the Prince of Mengjin into the court.

Chen Yishou attacked on the spot and angrily scolded Su Fang: "The Han and the traitors are incompatible. Now that Your Majesty is in charge, why do you say this? This is really a big deal about the world. Yang coerces the Prince of Mengjin to rebel and resign. The Chen and the country have reached the most dangerous moment. If you want to protect the country, do you rely on peace talks?"

Then, there was a group of mutual attacks.

All the civil and military officials expressed their opinions. Naturally, peace talks are false, and the loss to the Yang family in Guanzhong is true.

In other words, Su Fang, Wang Jian, the Minister of Rites, Liu Zhan, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Kuan, the Minister of War, and many ministers knew very well that they could not persuade Queen Mother Mu and Chen Yishou and others to discuss peace at this time. Queen Mother Mu and others had a firm attitude and were even more likely to compromise.

But...this doesn't matter.

What is important is that when the Guanzhong army enters Luoyang City in the future, the Prince Mengjin will naturally know who is his enemy and who is his friend, and who is his own people. Although they only said a few words to discuss peace here, the world will be settled. The Prince Mengjin will definitely entrust important tasks to some people who are in their hearts.

After the argument.

Queen Mother Mu sighed deeply, then looked around everyone and sneered repeatedly.

"Do you think the Ai family doesn't know what you think? Just a few days after Your Majesty ascended the throne, someone secretly scheming is really disappointing. Su Qing family, the court treats you very well, so what if the Ai family treats you?"

Su Fang was busy and trepidated, looking trembling: "The court and the empress treated their ministers with great kindness."

Queen Mother Mu raised her nose slightly and looked at him with a sneer: "Since that's the case, why are you so bold?"

Su Fang quickly said: "I am just for the country and the country. Besides, I am not interested in the prince of Mengjin, but just me..."

"Enough!" Queen Mother Mu said coldly: "The Ai family advises you not to have such delusions again."

Su Fang calmed down and said firmly: "Since this is the case, my loyalty, the Empress regards it as a poison. I have nothing to say. I beg you to pray to me and return home!"

After he said this, dozens of ministers took this opportunity and knelt down one after another: "I am willing to retire."

Retirement still shows your attitude.

Anyway, at this critical moment, if a large number of people retire, it will inevitably cause greater turmoil. Behind every person in the temple, there are countless middle and low-level civil and military officials. These people may be their disciples or old officials. At other times, they will retire. But now, there is no news about Your Majesty, and the Guanzhong army is like a dark cloud, pressing on countless subjects in Luoyang. At this time, a group of ministers led by Su Fang and others will retire, which may be a fatal blow to the stormy court.
