Chen Yishou is different from Chen Wou-Ki and Chen Kaizhi.

Like him, since childhood, the fathers and ancestors have warned the so-called sage again and again, everyone around him, are proud to be able to go to Qufu to study, as for the Yan Shenggong, that is the holy vein, in the hearts of scholars like Chen Yishou, Qufu, is their utopia, there, everything is beautiful, and in that utopia, every Yan Shenggong is the embodiment of morality and etiquette, is the place of the Holy System.

It is the place that each of them dreams of and looks forward to going, and it is the sacred place that their ancestors have sharpened their heads to chase.

Now, when the bad news came, he subconsciously felt a sour nose, this old man, who was usually known for his uprightness, suddenly blurred in his eyes, as if the world had stopped, his eyes were confused, and he couldn't see anything.

"Hey, this great misfortune, great misfortune ......" he choked and shook his head: "Today, the Holy Duke of Yan has inherited the throne for twenty and three years...... Hey......" said, his hoarse voice could not continue, and he had lost his voice.

Chen Wuji looked at Chen Yishou curiously, he didn't seem to understand that this cabinet scholar who had been fighting with the Empress Dowager for the past few days had become so sentimental and sensitive today.

Chen Kaizhi was expressionless, and then looked at Chen Wuji, his eyes seemed to say, Your Majesty, although the hundreds of schools of thought are scheming, secretly accumulating strength, and planning great plans, it is just ...... In today's world, there is absolutely no one in the six countries of the world, and it is something that can be shaken by a hundred schools of thought, and such a concept that has been deeply rooted for thousands of years is really terrifying.

Chen Kaizhi stood up and said to Chen Yishou: "Gong Chen, please mourn." ”

Chen Yishou took a deep breath, raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Kai, but remembered something: "Kaizhi, why is there no sorrow?" ”

There was confusion in his voice.

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

Chen Yishou calmed down, he seemed to be thinking, Chen Kaizhi didn't seem to have too much kindness to the Yansheng Mansion, he said for a long time: "No matter what, you have to pretend to be some, old man, say goodbye." ”

He got up and took his leave.

Chen Kaizhi and Chen Wuji glanced at each other, and Chen Kaizhi also nodded: "Your Majesty, the minister is leaving." ”

Coming out of the palace, obviously this bad news has spread throughout the entire Beijing Division, in the blink of an eye, this spring Luoyang City, is actually a little more depressed, many scholars, began to wear plain Confucian clothes, someone on the lintel, hung on the white pan, the whole Luoyang City fell into a faint sadness.

Chen Kaizhi returned to Feiyu Peak, looked up and saw that on the mountain gate, someone had already set up a white pan, and when he went up the mountain, he saw that Mr. Yan and everyone had changed into plain clothes.

Fortunately, Mr. Yan and the others did not show too much grief, but they were teachers, but they were already in pain, their eyes were red and swollen, and they had 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." ”

"Hmm." Chen Kaizhi nodded, respecting or despising in his heart is one thing, but the current atmosphere is like this, he must not appear outlier, deviant, and will only become the object of criticism by the world's people.

Unexpectedly, he and Zhao Wanggang said that Yan Shenggong was no longer good, so he went, and he was really not as good as heaven.

Mr. Yan glanced at Chen Kai and sighed before he spoke: "Seven days later, the Holy Father will be funeral, and at that time, all countries will definitely send envoys to Qufu as soon as possible, and then the Prince of Huaiyi will ascend to the throne." Prince Huaiyi has some grudges against His Royal Highness? ”

Chen Kaizhi said bluntly: "Yes." ”

Mr. Yan frowned, and glanced at Yang Biao and the others on the side, and everyone looked a little nervous.

Mr. Yan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, stroked his beard, and said worriedly: "Then, this matter is tricky. The old man just flipped through the report sent by Jin Yiwei recently, among them, it is the matter of Chen Zi's thirteen articles, "Chen Zi's thirteen articles" was born, because it entered the heavenly list, it instantly swept the world, but whether it is in Qufu or Luoyang, or in various countries, there are both praise and disapproval, after all, there are still some controversies. ”

Chen Kaizhi nodded, he was mentally prepared for this. There are already different views among schools, and Chen Zi's thirteen articles came out of nowhere and put forward his own ideas, which are not only novel, but also not far behind the views of other schools.

But the problem is that people who read this book will naturally have their likes and dislikes, and if some people like it, some people will naturally dislike it, thinking that it is too shocking.

Mr. Yan shook his head slightly.

"Then, the heaviest thing is that the verdict of this book is still on the new Yan Shenggong, that is, the prince of Huaiyi. If, at this time, the prince of Huaiyi attacks this book, it will be troublesome. Once criticized, it represents the attitude of the Yansheng Gongfu, and the scholars of other schools of thought will also be in the same breath as the Yan Shenggong, and His Royal Highness can assist the government because His Royal Highness's article has entered the heavenly list, and once the Yan Shenggong thinks that this book is deviant, the meaning is completely different, and now, Yan Shenggong is gone, and all the scholars in the world miss Yan Shenggong, and they are also very much looking forward to Huaiyi Gongzi, and he makes any ruling on this book, and the impact will be great. ”

"What's more, the Empress Dowager will definitely not let go of this opportunity." Mr. Yan looked at Chen Kaizhi, his eyes were full of worry, and he said intently: "She will definitely take this opportunity to send people to the funeral in the name of saying that the righteous prince will be moved, once the two of them should be together, His Royal Highness's auxiliary government will not only not be guaranteed, but it is very likely that it will reveal huge flaws, giving the Empress Dowager a chance to fight back." ”

Mr. Yan's words are not alarmist.

Now this time is very critical, if the Empress Dowager intends to rectify Chen Kaizhi, then this is a good opportunity.

Obviously, it was against him by the hand of Huaiyi Gongzi.

Chen Kaizhi is not stupid, he knows very well that once it is judged to be deviant, then the thirteen articles of Chen Zi will become demagoguery and demonic rumors, and even, if it is listed as a banned book, Chen Kaizhi will become the target of public criticism.

"So, you must not let Huaiyi Gongzi make this purpose?" Chen Kaizhi said lightly, his face looked extremely cold.

"Yes." Mr. Yan sighed, and then said: "The old man is in Qufu, quite a bit old, and he is also the teacher of the first holy father, this time, the old man wants to go to Qufu for a trip, run for His Royal Highness, no matter what, but also to meet Huaiyi Gongzi, the pain is terrible, perhaps, things still have room to turn around." ”

The others were still nervous, but they were relieved to think that Mr. Yan had a great relationship with the Yansheng Mansion, and if Mr. Yan came out, things seemed to have the possibility of a bright future.

But Chen Kaizhi shook his head and smiled: "This king and Huaiyi Gongzi ......" Chen Kaizhi got up, walked to the windowsill of the study, raised his eyes, and then, he turned around and smiled again: "It can be said that there is an enmity between the heavens, this is by no means someone who said that there is room for turnaround." I think so. ”

"So......" The corners of Chen Kaizhi's mouth hooked slightly, and he actually smiled: "You see, in this world, it has always been like this, even if it is just an article, it can involve countless interests, Huaiyi Gongzi, how much do you know about him?" ”

This sentence turned people down.

Mr. Yan was slightly stunned, and even he didn't dare to guarantee how much he knew about Huaiyi Gongzi.

But Chen Kaizhi said confidently: "You don't understand, but this king understands him very thoroughly, being a man is like writing an article, everyone has a different taste for the article, and in fact, everyone's nature is also different, you understand a person's nature, you 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 order to go to the funeral?"

"Could 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 to the palace five times in the past three days, which is really rare." ”

"It won't be him." Chen Kaizhi nodded far away: "The Empress Dowager has summoned him to the palace many times, indicating that the Empress Dowager has something in her heart, and some things are difficult to make a ruling, so she needs someone around her to speak, and this Mr. Fang, since he is loved by the Empress Dowager, it is impossible to let him go, then Shun Guogong will definitely be left by the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is a person, it is usually difficult to trust a person, once trusted, this person will never let him out of Beijing easily." Nine times out of ten, the people sent are from the Yang family......"

When Chen Kaizhi said this, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more serious: "Now, we have to see if the Empress Dowager has the ability to win over the young son of Huaiyi; Or maybe my Chen Kaizhi's method is more effective. ”

He immediately calmed down and said to everyone: "Gentlemen, in the past few days, there is no need to ask about the affairs of Qufu, I will deal with the arrangements, no matter what rumors there are outside, you gentlemen do not have to keep it in mind, there are only two things that are most important at the moment, accumulate grain and build a high wall." ”

"Mr. Yang, I still have to go to Jibei, Jibei is the land of Emperor Taizu Gao's Longxing, and in the future, it is very likely to be our safe place, Mr. Yan will stay on the mountain and handle official business, Mr. Chen ......" He looked at his uncle Chen Yixing: "You have to be responsible for continuing to recruit the children of the clan to go up the mountain, you are now one of the few elders in the clan, and you are responsible for the children of the clan who go up the mountain, which is the most appropriate." ”
