After waiting for the Wanshou Palace, after the report, Zhao Zhenjing entered the queen mother's bedroom, bowed his head, and said honestly: "The son greets the queen mother." ”

The Empress Dowager has been in Wanshou Palace since she arrived, usually she is closed, and she does not care about the idle affairs of the foreign court, and the officials originally thought that the Empress Dowager deliberately came back from Ganquan Palace, and must have hoped to interfere in the government affairs, who would have expected that the Empress Dowager was just recuperating in the palace.

At this time, the Empress Dowager was sitting on the phoenix chair with a faint expression under the service of several eunuchs, using a silver spoon, and was gently sipping the ginseng soup.

Hearing this, she raised her eyes and glanced at Chen Zhenjing, and then said, "Why, it's so late today?" ”

Chen Zhenjing thought in his heart, the queen mother is really careful, he knows that although his mother is just a casual question, in fact, she is knocking on the side, if he answers badly, there may not be good fruit to eat.

He picked out some unimportant words and said: "The death of the sons and ministers is all because of the military situation in Zhangqiu." ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and secretly glanced at the Empress Dowager, then got up, walked to the Empress Dowager's side, and bowed his head: "This matter ......"

"The matter...... The mourners know. The Empress Dowager looked at Chen Zhenjing casually, and then said slowly: "Isn't it that Chen Kaizhi crossed the river and defeated the two thousand Yan army?" ”

Chen Zhenjing was stunned, this is the military information that came just now, and it will only be more than an hour at most, but the queen mother got the news so quickly, how did she know?

While thinking, he secretly glanced at the Empress Dowager, and felt more and more that the Empress Dowager was not as simple as living in the palace.

So he said cautiously: "It's just that this thing is not good, Queen Mother, the current situation in the world, Queen Mother Shengming, can see it clearly, the so-called pull a hair and move the whole body, and this Chen Kaizhi has nothing to think about the overall situation, he is happy now, but what next?" ”

The Empress Dowager said indifferently: "However? ”

Chen Zhenjing saw that the Empress Dowager was not annoyed, and couldn't help but exaggerate.

"So, Erchen thinks that he is ignoring the overall situation, just thinking about making a name for himself, and now people in Luoyang say that he is good, but it seems that the court is afraid of war, but if you understand a little bit of the details here, who doesn't know, once the war starts, it will be ruined, and the society will be shaken."

"There is one more thing...... Chen Zhenjing's eyes fluttered, and then said: "Today is more interesting, Empress Dowager Mu heard that Chen Kaizhi was about to be besieged by the Yan army, seeing that this Chen Kaizhi was about to finish, but he wanted to mobilize the army to rescue, Queen Mother, this Chen Kaizhi and Empress Dowager Mu are not related, but Empress Dowager Mu is so concerned about Chen Kaizhi?" Erchen is thinking, Chen Kaizhi and ...... Ahem...... Erchen may be guessing, but he just thinks ...... I think that this Chen Kaizhi and Empress Dowager Mu may have something unspeakable, if so, this is not a trivial matter, this ......"

The Empress Dowager was still eating ginseng soup with her head down, as if she hadn't listened to him at all, while Chen Zhenjing carefully observed the Empress Dowager and said probingly.

The relationship between Chen Kaizhi and Empress Dowager Mu did make Chen Zhenjing suspicious, but whether there was a relationship between them, Chen Zhenjing didn't care, what he wanted to do was to use this relationship as a weapon.

If these words can really make his mother suspicious, the queen mother, as the queen mother, will never ignore this, and as long as the queen mother is angry and stands on her side, then the queen mother, I am afraid that the good days will come to an end.

He was proud in his heart, and waited for the Empress Dowager to send the Empress Dowager Mu.

However, the Empress Dowager ate the ginseng soup, gently put the porcelain bowl aside, and then said to the eunuch beside her: "Clean your mouth." ”

So the eunuch hurriedly took the silver basin, and then took a cup of tea to the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager ate tea and rinsed her mouth, then took the towel and wiped her mouth, looking at Chen Zhenjing with slightly squinted eyes, and said casually: "Chen Kaizhi is surrounded?" ”

"Yes." Chen Zhenjing saw that the queen mother was not angry, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and continued to explain with added vinegar: "He took a city fortress from the Yan people, and he hasn't returned yet, I'm afraid that at this time, the Yan army on the front line of the three prefectures in Jibei has already made a move, this guy is willful, and he has caused so much trouble to the imperial court, and he is still ......."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her face darkened slightly, her eyes became indifferent, she frowned, and then said lightly: "Wait, the mourning family wants to ask you, in fact, the mourning family also cares about Chen Kaizhi's life and death, and even wants to let the military horse gallop to rescue him?" ”

Chen Zhenjing was stunned, as if he couldn't believe what his ears heard.

His mother told him to save a courtier, an inconsequential person?

He even widened his eyes in shock, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly: "Queen Mother...... This...... This ......"

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, and suddenly sneered: "Is it in your heart that your queen mother also has something to do with Chen Kaizhi?" What's the ulterior to do? ”

When Chen Zhenjing heard this, he was stunned again, and the whole person was at a loss.

He understood that the queen mother was defending Chen Kaizhi and Empress Dowager Mu.

Originally, he just wanted to say a few bad words about the Empress Dowager Mu, Chen Kaizhi was dead anyway, but the Empress Dowager Mu was the thorn in his side, and he desperately hoped to get the full support of the Empress Dowager.

That's why he connected Chen Kaizhi and Empress Dowager Mu, the purpose is self-evident, this is to shake the legitimacy of Empress Dowager Mu.

The reason why Empress Dowager Mu can interfere in politics is because she is **, because he is the wife of the first emperor, but what if she is reluctant to do so?

So why does she still have the mother's honor in the world? Why do you want to do politics?

But he never imagined that his tentative words would cause such a big displeasure to the queen mother, and make the queen mother say such heavy words, he really didn't guess his mother's thoughts, and at this time he was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, poofed, knelt directly on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Erchen...... Sons and daughters are dead! ”

"You ......"

The Empress Dowager was so angry that she trembled at this time, her face was even as white as paper, she looked at Chen Zhenjing with wide eyes, her body trembled, and finally grabbed the porcelain bowl containing ginseng soup on the case and fell to the ground hard.

Syllable......

The porcelain bowl was shattered, and the fragments splashed everywhere, and they actually splashed on Chen Zhenjing's body, even though the fragments hurt a little on his body, but Chen Zhenjing didn't dare to cry out in pain.

At this moment, Chen Zhenjing was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, so he only said in fear: "Erchen is just guessing ......"

"Guess?" The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows, and said with a sneer: "It's a shame that you are still the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, you are a noble man of Tianhuang, no matter how Chen Kaizhi is, he is also the son of our Chen family, not to say that he has saved the mourning family, just say that others are in Zhangqiu, willing to fight a decisive battle with the Yan army, this is my Da Chen's warrior, Da Chen's world, what do you rely on, is it your mouth?" Or rely on countless soldiers who defend the border towns? No matter what the consequences of this dispute are, and what trouble it causes, as long as the troops are mobilized, we should share the same hatred for the enemy, as a prince, don't you even understand such a truth? He doesn't understand the overall situation, and he keeps saying that he is going to die......"

The Empress Dowager's voice became unusually cold, as sharp and piercing as a knife.

"What did he take to die? Isn't he shedding blood for our Da Chen? Now that he is besieged, you are of the same clan as him, and he is the same dynasty as him after Emperor Taizu Gao, but you are here to say such a thing? You...... You are really ashamed to be a minister, ashamed to be a son of man, how can the mourning family have a son like you! ”

The Empress Dowager became more and more excited, her face was pale, she reluctantly held the case with her hands, her chest rose and fell slightly, she was so angry at the moment that it was difficult to breathe.

The next moment, she held the case with one hand, covered her chest with the other, and glared at Chen Zhenjing angrily, her tone became more and more aggressive.

"In other places in the Mu family, the mourning family won't talk about it, but you don't understand this, she understands! She knew that the soldiers were in front, no matter whether they were right or wrong, the court should stand up for them, only when the soldiers were loyal to the country, they caused a lot of trouble, and the court was behind; The soldiers are surrounded, and as the rulers, they will care about their safety and will think of all possible ways to rescue them; Only in this way can the subjects of the world be willing to fulfill their duties, the civil officials will not love money, and the military attaches will not be afraid of death; You don't even understand such a superficial truth, and you still have the face to slander others here? ”

"The mourning family tells you that the mourning family has heard the news of Chen Kaizhi's danger now, and the mourning family is even more anxious than the Mu family, you can ignore this matter, others can pretend to be deaf and dumb, and the mourning family can't just ask! Do you know why, do you know why? ”

Chen Zhenjing was really frightened, although the queen mother was also strict with him in the past, but he had never seen the queen mother move so much!

The Empress Dowager's question, Chen Zhenjing didn't dare to answer rashly, although it was a mother and son, but he couldn't guess the mother at all, just said hesitantly: "Son...... I don't know! ”

The corners of the Empress Dowager's mouth twitched, and there was a touch of sadness in her sneer, even if she was so angry at the moment that her heart hurt, but her voice was still loud.

"Then the mourning family will tell you, you have remembered it for the mourning family: the cornerstone of the Great Chen Jiangshan Sheji does not rely on the goodwill of the six countries, nor does it rely on the mediation of the so-called Yansheng Mansion, let alone the small belly chicken intestines of you people, from the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, it is the soldiers who are not afraid of death to protect the society, ignore the six countries, disdain the Yan Shenggong, and the country can be saved, but if it chills the hearts of the military and civilians, it is the time when the building will fall, all of them are called here, and the mourning family has something to say! ”

"Yes, yes, I'll go." Chen Zhenjing responded in surprise and helplessly.

In fact, Chen Zhenjing was still very unwilling in his heart, but at this time, he was helpless and could only obey the orders of the Empress Dowager.
