From the perspective of etiquette, the title of Beijing is the king of the county, but His Majesty only said the four words of the king of Beijing, not the king of Beijing, which is a huge mistake.

No, or rather, a slip of the tongue.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly looked at each other.

It's just that this is an opening edict, and the picture is a good sign.

At this time, if you stand up and accuse the mistake, I am afraid it is very inappropriate.

As for Chen Wuji, he didn't seem to know, and said with a smile: "Chen Kaizhi, why don't you thank you?" ”

Chen Kaizhi said, you are so funny to me, suddenly there is such a 'beautiful mistake', I didn't say that at the beginning.

He naturally knew that this was a trick played by Chen Wouji, the difference between the prince and the prince is not small, and now the prince of Da Chen in Beijing has been wiped out, wouldn't Chen Kaizhi become the only prince in Beijing, even if he is not in Beijing, the prince is also very pitiful.

Chen Kaizhi hesitated whether to thank him.

Chen Wuji suddenly said: "Oops......" As soon as he slapped his head, he looked at the Empress Dowager with a depressed expression.

Although he didn't speak, he seemed to be saying, I said the wrong thing, the Queen Mother, what should I do?

Oops, it's all because he wasn't calm enough, he was excited, and he said it wrong.

The Empress Dowager is smiling, today is a day of great joy, not to mention that it is His Majesty's first edict, besides, the new emperor has just ascended the throne and is not yet proficient, which is also a matter of course, in the eyes of the world, there is no need to even blame.

After all, such a big thing, if you are wrong, you will be wrong, anyway, Chen Kai's merits are enough to make him a prince.

The question is, should the Empress Dowager correct it?

If it is corrected, it will encounter two problems, one is that she, the empress dowager, seems to be too lenient, after all, the empress dowager is a woman, and it is more appropriate to manipulate it secretly; Secondly, it also spoils the atmosphere of today.

The Empress Dowager looked at Chen Wuji and said with a smile: "Your Majesty intends to be gracious, it is really a saint." ”

She opened her mouth, and the hall suddenly became active, and many people smiled and said loudly.

"Your Majesty."

Emperor Chrysostom said that it was difficult to collect the water, so Chen Kaizhi naturally stopped twisting and hurriedly knelt down.

"Thank you."

Then, there was the complicated etiquette, Chen Wuji only sat upright and stayed until noon, and then it was the banquet in the palace.

At this time, as usual, the Empress Dowager drove back to the harem, Chen Wuji sat on the top, he beckoned to Chen Kaizhi, and ordered the eunuch to say: "Please sit next to King Jingzhi." ”

So someone added a case under His Majesty's desk and asked Chen Kaizhi to sit beside him.

The hundred officials saw it, and they all admired it, but Chen Kaizhi was still quite restrained, and after kneeling and sitting, the two were close, and Chen Wuji smiled in a low voice at Chen Kaizhi: "King Beijing, I have used a few means, what do you think?" ”

Chen Kaizhi glanced at Chen Wuji sideways, and also spoke in a low voice: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be disliked." ”

Chen Wuji looked very calm, his face was full of calmness, as if he didn't care at all, and said to Chen Kaizhi with a faint expression.

"Why do I have to be liked, since someone wants to control me, in fact, in my heart, the emperor's position is not important, the important thing is to live well, I have also read the scriptures and history, and I know that since ancient times, if someone wants to usurp the throne, it is always necessary to eradicate the old Son of Heaven and set up a Son of Heaven who has no backing to ascend the throne, only in this way can it be mastered, and it is also an excessive means, in this case, whether I am happy or unhappy, I can't please it, it's better to do whatever I want."

Chen Kaizhi stared at Chen Wuji, his eyes showed a bit of appreciation: "Your Majesty......" Chen Kaizhi lowered his voice: "The minister just has something to play." ”

Chen Wuji glanced at him meaningfully, and then said with a smile: "We'll go out for a walk later." ”

After three rounds of drinking, all the officials and furniture retreated, Chen Wuji left Chen Kaizhi behind, the two did not speak in the hall, after all, the palace inevitably has ears on the wall, but with a slight drunkenness, to the imperial garden, here is open, secluded, no one around.

Chen Wuji was still not at ease, his eyes looked around, and he made sure that no one was eavesdropping before he said, "You say it." ”

Chen Kaizhi said everything about Chen Zhenjing.

When Chen Wuji heard this, he looked very cold, as if he already knew everything, and then he sighed deeply at Chen Kaizhi before he slowly spoke.

"Actually, even if you don't say it, I know that Chen Zhenjing just provided evidence......" He looked at Chen Kaizhi: "Do you know that now in private, some ministers secretly want to jointly play and ask me to crown the Empress Dowager as the Holy Empress Dowager." They entered the palace yesterday, and the Empress Dowager did not allow it, but this is just a prevarication, and I naturally did not object, thinking about it, they had to ask again and again, and finally the Empress Dowager reluctantly agreed. ”

Chen Wuji walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and his whole person was extremely delicate and elegant in the sun, and then he turned his head sideways and smiled at Chen Kaizhi.

"The Empress Dowager is already extremely noble, but why should she add a saint, isn't it obvious enough? This is to distinguish the Empress Dowager from her, step by step, and now, there have been several governors with troops into Beijing, these governors, have entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager, these governors, even not the town guarding Guanzhong, the Empress Dowager did not call the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, I can't imagine that in other places, there are also her people, she has been in Ganquan Palace for more than ten years, but she has not stopped for a day, not to mention ......" Chen Wuji looked at Chen Kaizhi with a smile: "In the far north, there are hundreds of chiefs, and many of them are convinced by her, This puppet of mine is decided. ”

He said these words very easily, and he didn't seem to care, and he didn't have much anger.

But Chen Kaizhi knew that this was not something that Chen Wuji was willing to do.

Chen Wuji said again: "Not only that, but she also promised me a family affair. Chen Wuji stared at Chen Kaizhi and said with a smile: "This woman is from the Yang family in Guanzhong. ”

Chen Kai looked at him sympathetically.

"It's not too beautiful to be born, I haven't heard of any outstanding beauties in the Yang family in Guanzhong."

"It doesn't matter." Chen Wuji shook his head at him, and the next moment he actually smiled: "It's a mother, I don't care, I just promise, do you know why I want to add your prince?" Our brothers, what kind of people they were in Jinling at the beginning, others may not know, but what, they came over differently, what is it to endure a little hardship, I can bear it. ”

Chen Kaizhi looked at Chen Wuji with admiration, and said with sincerity: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Chen Wuji was still fine, although he could see the sympathy in Chen Kaizhi's eyes, he was smiling at him, and the whole thing seemed calm and calm.

"However, our brothers can't be willing to be pressed and manipulated by others in their lives, I will give you King Beijing today, because you and I are brothers, regardless of each other, don't say that it is the prince, it is this crown of heaven for you, and there is no hindrance, I am not uncommon to the emperor's throne. Secondly, I want to tell the Empress Dowager that she wants to control me, but it's not that simple. Sooner or later, we will have to turn over. ”

Chen Kaizhi nodded his head and said solemnly: "I think the same way." ”

"That's the good for me." Chen Wou-Ki laughed: "Because I have suffered too much in the past, so I can endure what ordinary people can't bear, but you are different, you have to bear the things outside the palace, you are now a prince, you can recruit guards, not only that, but you can also recruit doormen on a large scale, if one day ......" Chen Wou-Ki suddenly became melancholy: "If the Empress Dowager makes a move, if I am gone, but among our brothers, there must always be one person who is still alive, you have to have soldiers and horses to protect yourself, the strength of the Empress Dowager is really unfathomable, I haven't seen it clearly yet." How many hole cards she still has, that's why you need to be more careful. ”

As he spoke, Chen Wou-Ki whistled like a naughty child.

"I have figured out one thing, I want you to be safe, and the life outside the palace is more comfortable, then you have to toss and toss in the palace, toss more, the Empress Dowager's mind has to be put on me, but it will neglect you, you can accumulate your strength well, don't blame the time, Wuji did not remind you, the Empress Dowager has the heart to covet Jiuding, so she must clear the barrier."

Chen Kai looked at Chen Wuji with a pair of clear eyes like water, and couldn't help asking, "What does Your Majesty want to toss?" ”

He has long been surprised by Chen Wouji's strange words, to put it bluntly, Chen Wouji's life experience is too bumpy, and what he has experienced is unimaginable to ordinary people, which is why he has such a character today.

"I didn't think about it, I thought about it." Chen Wou-Ki winked at him, he was innocent like a child at the moment.

But at this moment, a eunuch probed his brain in the distance, and Chen Kaizhi saw it from afar.

Chen Kaizhi immediately coughed in a low voice, and then said, "Someone is coming." ”

"It's definitely coming." Chen Wuji looked indifferent: "What I am doing these days, there are people watching. ”

The eunuch came in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty...... Protect...... His Royal Highness King Beijing ......" He seemed to feel that the three words of King Beijing were a little spared, and then said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager is looking for Your Majesty and King Beijing, saying that she has something to say, she just took a nap for a while, and she is in good spirits." ”

Chen Wuji immediately changed his appearance of pure filial piety, and said solemnly: "I and the King of Beijing went to greet him." ”

The two walked side by side one after the other, Chen Kaizhi originally wanted to slow down, but Chen Wuji also deliberately slowed down, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and when he arrived at Wanshou Palace, it happened that Yao Wenzhi came out from Wanshou Palace, Yao Wenzhi saluted Chen Wouji, and Chen Wuji said: "Yao Gong also came to see the Empress Dowager?" ”

Yao Wenzhi hurriedly said: "The minister has something to report. ”

"Oh." Chen Wuji didn't ask much: "I'm going to say hello." King Beijing, let's go. ”
