Chen Wuji smiled, and didn't say anything more, at this time, a eunuch came out and said, "Your Highness Wuji, Niangniang, please go in first, protect the country, and wait for a while." ”

Chen Wuji smiled faintly at Chen Kaizhi and said, "Go first." ”

"Okay." Chen Kaizhi nodded.

It wasn't until Chen Wuji greeted him and came out of Kunning Palace that Chen Kaizhi entered Kunning Palace.

Empress Dowager Mu saw Chen Kaizhi, and without waiting for Chen Kaizhi to salute, she took the lead and said: "This Chen Wuji is really incomprehensible, Kaizhi, what do you think he has planned." ”

Obviously, the Empress Dowager Mu is very worried, and mothers are always worried and afraid at critical times, even if it is the Queen Mother.

Chen Kaizhi also wanted to know what conspiracy Chen Wouji had, but now he was really confused, looking at the worried look of the Empress Dowager Mu, he pursed his lips, spoke lightly, and comforted the Empress Dowager Mu: "No matter what the plot is, the son can do his best." ”

Empress Dowager Mu smiled when she heard this, the worry on her face dissipated a lot, she sighed, and then said lovingly to Chen Kaizhi: "Mourning family, I am worried about you, but I am not worried about you, so how many days ago did King Zhao want to win you over?" ”

Chen Kaizhi nodded: "Yes, he seems to be in a hurry." ”

Empress Dowager Mu sighed again: "You sternly rejected him, he must be even more resentful." ”

In order to avoid worrying his mother, Chen Kaizhi said solemnly: "Actually, King Zhao and I, at this point, have long been immortal, so it doesn't matter whether he is more resentful." ”

Empress Dowager Mu nodded, but did not forget to remind Chen Kaizhi: "Yes, but you have to be careful, he is very resentful." ”

Chen Kaizhi pursed his lips: "Instead of being careful, it is better to simply take the initiative to attack, so as not to worry and be afraid day and night, the queen mother called me here, for what?" ”

Empress Dowager Mu took a deep look at him, and sighed: "I just want to see you, I haven't seen you in the past few days, I feel empty in my heart, these days, the cabinet is there, seeing the wind and the rudder, many things, I have gone to the Wanshou Palace to ask the Empress Dowager to take an idea, mourning the family, but also simply have a leisure, in fact, the mourning family is not a wise person......"

Chen Kaizhi said: "The Empress Dowager is still unwilling to be lonely, but the queen mother doesn't have to worry, let the empress dowager assist the government, as the queen mother said, it is better to have a leisure." ”

When Empress Dowager Mu heard this, she couldn't help but nod her head again and again: "Yes, it's hard to think about idleness." ”

After talking to Chen Kaizhi for a while, Empress Dowager Mu asked again: "In the past few days, the clan has gone to the Qiguo Mansion to pay respects, I heard that you didn't go?" This is not appropriate, the Empress Dowager opened her mouth and let everyone go, not to mention, you are a clan after all, and the Duke of Qi is an elder in the clan, and now that he is gone, he will not go...... I'm afraid that someone will secretly chew the root of the tongue. ”

Chen Kaizhi smiled: "Erchen is preparing to go in the next few days." ”

Empress Dowager Mu said: "The mourning family is relieved, you come here, you should not stay too long, the mourning family will see you, and now, it is an eventful autumn, who is the queen mother's person in this palace, who is the mourning family's person, the mourning family itself is confused, the only credible one is Zhang Jing, you are outside the palace, you have to be careful in everything, it has been an eventful autumn recently, understand?" ”

Chen Kai responded one by one: "Erchen understands." When he saw that there seemed to be a figure outside, and when he heard the small footsteps in his ears, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said in a low voice: "There are people outside the queen mother, son...... Farewell. ”

Empress Dowager Mu also smiled at him, looking at Chen Kaizhi's eyes full of doting: "Go ahead." ”

Chen Kaizhi walked out of the hall slowly, and saw a little eunuch leaning over to avoid it, Chen Kaizhi pretended not to see him and strode out.

In fact, whose eyeliner this person is, for Chen Kaizhi, it doesn't matter at all, for him, whether it is the queen mother or himself, he is now in a weak position, and for himself, the most important thing is to be strong, otherwise, everything else is empty talk.

He walked out of the palace quickly, just arrived outside the palace, there were already a few guards waiting here, one of the Pegasus came from the brocade guard Lux, panting, as soon as he saw Chen Kaizhi, he was busy saluting, this and the wrestler almost looked at Chen Kai with infinite blind worship, and said: "Grandpa, there are eyebrows." ”

"Good." Chen Kaizhi smiled slightly: "Go to Beizhen Fusi." ”

The group hurried to Fusi in Beizhen, and just sat down in the public house, knowing that Zeng Guangxian and Wu Yanshi had been waiting for a long time.

Chen Kaizhi only nodded at them, Wu Yanshi quickly sent an official document to Chen Kaizhi's desk, Chen Kaizhi took a few glances at the draft, and then raised his head: "Is there any evidence?" ”

"Yes." Zeng Guangxian said solemnly: "There are all human and material evidence, and now it is completely controlled. ”

Chen Kaizhi smiled, his eyes were full of joy: "I thought that I would have to wait a few more days, who knows, it was so fast, but I worked hard for you, and you did a good job." ”

"Don't dare."

Chen Kaizhi didn't say anything, in fact, his words were not a compliment, in Chen Kaizhi's opinion, this was their duty, so Chen Kaizhi got up, he was wearing a shawl given by the Empress Dowager, which was particularly eye-catching, Chen Kaizhi said: "Point all the people, do it." ”

In a matter of moments, dozens of brocade-clothed guards have been gathered, this is just a clear agent, and a large number of secret agents have already been prepared.

Chen Kaizhi rode a horse and led people directly to the Qiguo Mansion.

There are bursts of mourning inside and outside the Qi Guogong Mansion, because the Guogong has not yet been buried, and there are many people who come to pay their respects, even if it is now morning, the sedan chair is almost parked in front of the door, Chen Kai got off the horse, and someone in front of the door has already stepped forward: "I don't know who it is." ”

Chen Kaizhi said lightly: "Chen Kaizhi." ”

Hearing Chen Kaizhi's three words, this doorman Ding hurriedly said: "Protector of the country, please." ”

Then he gave Chen Kaizhi a vegetarian hair, Chen Kaizhi tied it around his waist, and the wrestler behind him wanted to go in, but was stopped, Chen Kaizhi said: "Let them go in together." ”

Mending hesitated for a moment, but after all, he still didn't dare to offend Chen Kaizhi, but muttered a few times to the people around him, as if he was ready to go in and report.

Chen Kaizhi hurriedly entered the house with people, passed through the Yimen, along the way, there were many relatives and friends who came to pay their respects, and the clan came a lot, and when Chen Kaizhi arrived at the mourning hall, he saw that in front of the mourning hall, Chen Huang, the only son of the Duke of Qi, and several female dependents knelt here, Chen Zhenjing was actually there, with a Su Mian tied around his waist, revealing a sad look, and whispered something to Chen Wu of the Zongling Mansion.

The Empress Dowager let people come to pay their respects, almost all of the clan's supposed to come came, this Qi Guogong has a high status in the clan, although he is not a close relative of the royal family, but he was also quite popular during his lifetime, so Chen Zhenjing took this opportunity to show some performance, at least judging from the news obtained by Jinyiwei, Chen Zhenjing has been here for four consecutive days, helping before and after. And as soon as he came, many clans were still idle, and they all came to help, making this Qi State Mansion particularly lively.

Chen Zhen saw Chen Kaizhi, but he didn't look annoyed, but stepped forward and said slowly: "Protector, you're late." ”

This understatement seems to be a joke, but in fact it accuses Chen Kaizhi of being very disrespectful to Qi Guogong.

This Duke of Qi has been dead for several days, and you Chen Kaizhi just came, it's really unusual.

Of course, this is what he means beyond his words, and everyone who understands it will naturally understand.

Several other clans in the mourning hall looked at Chen Kaizhi coldly, completely showing unfriendly looks towards Chen Kaizhi.

Chen Huang, the prince who was kneeling on the ground, only glanced at Chen Kai in a hurry, and then immediately lowered his head and ignored it.

A servant lit a stick of incense to Chen Kaizhi, and Chen Kaizhi pinched the incense and stepped forward, and when he arrived at the spiritual seat, he looked at the gilded spiritual seat, but it was the big character of the king of Puyang County.

Chen Kaizhi immediately understood in his heart that after the death of the Duke of Qi, the imperial court was extremely gracious and posthumously sealed him.

From a national duke, he was directly promoted to the king of the county, this kind of sealing, in fact, for the prince of Qi itself, it is meaningless, anyway, everyone is dead, is it the prince of the country or the king of the county, at most, the specifications of the funeral and the tomb are a little different.

But...... This is of great help to his descendants.

Da Chen's clan title will decrease, for example, the Duke of Qi, although he is the Duke of Guo, but once he dies, his son inherits the title of General Zhenguo, and now after the posthumous title, he has become the king of the county, so according to the etiquette system, his son can still inherit the position of the Duke of Guo.

When Emperor Taizu Gao was there, in order to prevent the increasing number of clans, the country could not afford it, so he had to design this set of declining title system, but at the same time, any system, there are always loopholes to exploit, such as this posthumous system, often some of the more important royal relatives, will be particularly favored by the imperial court, and finally this title can be passed down from generation to generation.

It can be seen that this Duke of Qi had a lot of connections during his lifetime, otherwise, the general court would not have allowed it.

Chen Kai put incense on it, and a servant beside him shouted: "Licheng." ”

Chen Kaizhi went to the side of the family and said to the old woman kneeling here and her son Chen Huang: "Please mourn." ”

This old woman is the Duchess of the Kingdom, and now she is the princess of the county, she seems to have seen a little fame, so she first looked at King Zhao, and then looked at Chen Kai indifferently, and said very indifferently: "Thank you." ”

Chen Kaizhi nodded at Chen Huang again, but Chen Huang simply lowered his head and refused to thank him.

Chen Kaizhi smiled, looking very disapproving, he stood up and walked to the side step by step, without any intention of leaving.

Chen Zhenjing looked at Chen Kaizhi, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he couldn't help but speak; "Chen Kaizhi, there are elders in the clan here to cook, you are busy with official business, go busy with yourself."

That means, don't make a mess here, get out of here.

Eviction order, ah, this is.

Obviously didn't want him to stay here for long.
