Chapter nine hundred and fortieth: hard work
Chen Kaizhi's words were both warnings and a little consolation.
This is already very obvious. If you are peaceful and peaceful, even if you are a favor, the Great Chen court will not do any harm to you!
Liu Aotian and others were just feeling scared at this moment, and their hearts were mixed, leaving only submissiveness.
Chen Kaizhi took a few sips of tea comfortably, eliminating some fatigue, and then stood up and said, "I have said so much, don't you want to say anything at all? It seems that in your heart, I'm afraid you are not satisfied, right?"
"No...I dare..." Liu Aotian finally spoke at this time.
Although Chen Kaizhi's tone was a little calmer at this time, he still felt the coldness inside.
Liu Aotian knew very well that Chen Kaizhi was waiting for them to express his opinion, and this attitude was still necessary.
But after some trouble just now, he did not have the arrogance. He could only smile bitterly and said, "Your Majesty has expressed the difficulties of the court, what else can I say? As a minister, I heard that Your Majesty has difficulties. How dare I... make a rash? Even if you want to make a difficult situation, you should not make it difficult for Your Majesty. I have to bear it. Your Majesty wants to reproach you now, and I will... "
He gritted his teeth and knew that the An Yi army had to express his stance. Who made him the most powerful? He said: "I have three sons. From now on, I will divide these three sons into three towns. In the future, I will divide the An Yi army into three hundred years."
Chen Kaizhi nodded, finally smiled, and said, "Very good. Although Liu Qing's name is a bit domineering, it seems that he knows it. You are an old minister. I have recorded this kind of heart."
Obviously, Liu Aotian satisfied him, and the other governors were helpless. At this point, things were already for sure, so they had to express their opinions one after another.
Chen Kaizhi was satisfied just now, and the coldness on his face seemed to slowly fade away. He slowly stood up and said, "Since that's the case, everyone should rest. I should go back to the palace."
He was free and easy, but how could the governors dare to rest? They flocked to see him off, and when they rushed to the front of the State Guesthouse, they were shocked to find that outside the State Guesthouse, the guards were all over the imperial guards.
It turned out that when the palace learned that Chen Kaizhi had returned to Beijing, Empress Dowager Mu and the cabinet scholars dared not be negligent. They quickly issued an order. Tens of thousands of imperial guards came to pick them up almost without stopping.
The person in charge is Grand Secretary Chen Yishou!
Chen Yishou led all officials. When he saw Chen Kaizhi coming out, he breathed a sigh of relief, relieved his heart, and then bowed to the ground and said, "I am late to welcome the emperor, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Chen Kaizhi frowned and said to Liu Aotian behind him: "Look, I hate being hugged the most. This time I just came to talk to you, so I came alone, with the intention of saying some intimate words, who would have thought..."
Chen Kaizhi said it easily, but Liu Aotian suddenly felt a chill on his back. He didn't know whether this was an intentional arrangement or what. Perhaps when Chen Kai came before, a large army had arrived outside. He could even imagine that if he had been tougher just now, the result might be different again.
Liu Aotian pressed the scared touch and said with a hurried smile: "Your Majesty is saying that the son of a thousand gold cannot sit in the hall, let alone the body of a thousand gold. It is better for your Majesty to be cautious when traveling."
Chen Kaizhi also smiled and said, "I am here in the State Guesthouse, why should I be cautious? You are my ministers, so what's the problem? Well, there are so many people here, and everyone is not at ease. I've given up on the chariot and I've returned to the palace."
As he said that, a chariot came, Chen Kaizhi rushed forward, Liu Aotian and others bowed and knelt down to see him off. Under the heavy escort of the imperial guards, the chariot slowly headed towards Luoyang Palace.
After seeing the Holy Lord away, Liu Aotian still felt a burning pain all over his body. This whip was really not very good. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and turned around and saw the governors behind him looking at each other one by one, everyone laughing and crying.
Yang Du couldn't help but murmur, "Mr. Liu, your Majesty is here and I'm caught off guard. But why is Mr. Liu so anxious to express his opinion? This... isn't it too urgent? Now we have all promises, and the road is ready... Alas... This is inappropriate, at least... even if you can't stop your favor, you should vaguely talk about it today. At least you have to wait for the court to reward more. Isn't this the same as doing a business? Your Majesty asks for a price all over the sky, and we must pay back the money..."
Liu Aotian shook his head worriedly and said, "Didn't you see that something is wrong? I'm here to ask you, Your Majesty is in Jibei, why did it come in a blink of an eye, but there was no news in advance? Is this reasonable? Even if Your Majesty is a little casual, how can you be so tight when returning to Beijing? Not only that, Your Majesty came here alone when he arrived at the capital. Didn't you see His Majesty ask what he said? Ask if we were treasonable, what a pity is this? Ask if we were treasonable, what a heart-wrenching statement was like. Ask this sentence, there is no room for this. Even if we had a troubled Ministry of War a few days ago, we were all after the meritorious service and were the vassal screens that the court relied on. No matter what, I would not treat it like this. So I just thought about it and felt that... Your Majesty returned to Beijing this time,
Something big happened, and in this capital, some rebels must have been involved. That is why Your Majesty came here day and night. His Majesty was anxious and caught everyone off guard, but came here alone. It was also because he was eager to ask us to express his opinion. If we really involved those rebels, we would naturally be without a burial place. Because of this, I feel that the water is too deep. Although we are all people who are powerful, we are all people with families and careers, and have served the court for generations. At this critical moment, if your Majesty misjudgment something, we will really be without a burial place. We make a fuss for profit, but once we are involved, it is the crime of death. At this time, will we dare not agree?"
Yang Du and others also recalled it at this time, and they felt cold after hearing it, and said with fear: "So, is there really someone who rebelled?"
If someone really rebelled or was planning something secretly, then the matter would be clear. Your Majesty hurried back to the capital to clean up the situation. The Jiedushi happened to make trouble at this critical moment. The first thing Your Majesty had to determine was the loyalty of the Jiedushi. Therefore, it was to see if the Jiedushi dared to rebel. If Your Majesty came to the State Guesthouse alone and the Jiedushi didn't dare, then... Your Majesty could rest assured.
But if the Jiedushi is still rebellious in front of Your Majesty, then... for Your Majesty, any possible threats need to be eliminated immediately, so... this time is more like a test. Through this one-on-one meeting, we will test the thoughts of the Jiedushi. If we deal with them properly, then we will be our own people. Your Majesty can wholeheartedly deal with the real rebels. If you feel that the Jiedushi is worried, or the Jiedushi really has the possibility of rebellion, and you will see Your Majesty coming alone, you will inevitably tear your face and take action directly at the State Guesthouse.
Now that I think about it, it's really scary. The situation just now is so subtle. If I'm not careful, it would be bad.
But... Yang Du couldn't help but doubt it again and couldn't help but say, "Since that's the case, if we really have a different intention, then Your Majesty just came alone, wouldn't it be... Isn't it... just to test us, isn't this risk too great?"
Liu Aotian's eyes flashed: "Your Majesty is an extraordinary person. I have heard that Your Majesty is not weak. Besides, I see the person he brought with him, his hand is always in his sleeve. I am afraid that there will be many rumored hand-splashes there. Moreover, when Your Majesty arrives, the guards will flock to you when they hear the news. Your Majesty still has the power to protect themselves. Now Your Majesty loves swords and goes astrays. Even if he takes risks, he is willing to give it a try."
Yang Du let out a sigh and couldn't help but say again: "But, who...who wants to rebel?"
It seems that no one can answer this question, and everyone is silent.
……………………
Just in the east city of Luoyang, outside a large courtyard, is a bustling crowd.
But in this courtyard, it is surprisingly quiet.
It was already dark at this time.
There were only a few lanterns in the courtyard, and the light of the lanterns was hazy. Even in the middle hall, there was only a candle, which made it very dim.
However, in the middle hall, dozens of people stood up, one by one without saying a word.
The person sitting in the head seemed to be an old man. He was drinking tea slowly. At the same time, someone hurried in outside and said, "Your Majesty went to the State Guesthouse. It is said that he had beaten the governor of An Yi Army, and he was only then put back to the palace."
"It seems..." the old man sighed and said, "It seems that Chen Kaizhi has noticed something. He... is very knowledgeable. Alas, since he ascended the throne, he has been working hard to cure and eliminated many hidden dangers. After his sanction, the Jinyiwei and Mingjingshi have become more and more effective. Sooner or later... he will follow the clues and understand the truth. What should you do? Should you sit back and wait for death, or try hard?"
