Yao Wenzhi seemed to be babbling about his family affairs.

is clearly the first auxiliary scholar of the cabinet, and the object of his speech is also the current auxiliary king, but like an ordinary old man, he just said the words of Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain.

But Chen Kaizhi knew that every word Yao Wenzhi said must have a deep meaning.

So he listened very attentively.

After all, this Yao Wenzhi is not simple, he can see through the thoughts of the Empress Dowager and sit firmly as a scholar, this kind of person will definitely not be just a family affair and talk about innocuous things.

Yao Wenzhi saw Chen Kai's serious look, and then smiled, and the smile was a little bitter: "The children and grandchildren are not promising, but the old man has created such a great business for them, if the old man leaves in the future, he will go west and give it to them, what is the use?" He shook his head: "It's useless, if the old man is gone, they will be like a group of children who carry gold ingots walking at night. Even in the old man's opinion, don't say that it is guarded, and it is not bad if it does not invite catastrophe. ”

"Every time I think of this, the old man can't sleep at night, although the old man is the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, and he should plan for the country, but he can't even keep his home, how can he be exhausted? So...... Over the years, the only thing the old man has done is to give grace, to more people, to give favors, to make people think about the good of the old man, even if it is just a little, at least in the future, the children and grandchildren will be in trouble, maybe, the cause planted today can be planted tomorrow, what is grace? But no one dares to offend. ”

And he said, but tears welled up in his eyes.

"When King Zhao was here, the old man didn't dare to cling to him because he was afraid of offending the Empress Dowager Mu on the other side; Now, the old man neither dares to offend the Empress Dowager, nor does he dare to offend His Royal Highness, but where, the old man's heart is like a mirror, where in this world is there a double thing, today to please this, tomorrow, will offend this. ”

"So...... It's hard to be a man. ”

Chen Kaizhi was indifferent on his face, looking at him with a pair of clear eyes, and spoke indifferently.

"It seems that Yao Gong is also well aware of this principle, since Yao Gong is well aware of the difficulties during the period, he also knows that everything Yao Gong does will have a price in the future."

Yao Wenzhi nodded, with a frank and unrestrained look: "This is also the reason why the old man is waiting for His Royal Highness, he is old and talented, and he is willing to ...... for His Highness."

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said coldly to him: "No need." ”

Yao Wenzhi showed a look of disappointment, he didn't seem to expect Chen Kaizhi to refuse, so he shook his head again and again: "Since that's the case, it's so old...... Ay...... There is one thing that the old man does, and he doesn't dare to tell him. ”

Chen Kaizhi frowned slightly: "What's the matter?" ”

Yao Wenzhi didn't threaten Chen Kaizhi anymore, saying that if His Royal Highness didn't promise anything, the old man didn't dare to tell him, but said without hesitation: "Ganquan Palace, there is still a prince." ”

As soon as this remark came out, Chen Kaizhi was very surprised.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help frowning, and asked with a shocked expression: "Really, is it a real prince?" ”

Yao Wenzhi smiled, stroked his beard and said, "Actually, it's not difficult to guess. ”

It turned out to be speculation.

Chen Kaizhi thinks that this Yao Wenzhi is tricky, this guy really doesn't even have the capital, so he wants to come and rebuild the old with Chen Kaizhi, and he really loses him.

But Yao Wenzhi didn't give up, but said: "Has Your Highness ever thought that the Empress Dowager has been dormant in Ganquan Palace for so many years, in fact, both His Royal Highness and the old man know what the Empress Dowager wants, since she has been planning for so long, she will definitely have a backup plan for everything." Your Majesty, is it really reliable for the Empress Dowager? If it's unreliable, what about it? She must have a backhand, so the old man definitely dares to say that there is a prince in Ganquan Palace, and this prince is a fake nine times out of ten, but what does it matter? Now His Royal Highness seems to have the upper hand, His Royal Highness can take this opportunity to eradicate the Yang family's power in Beijing in one fell swoop, however, Guanzhong is still the back garden of the Yang family, not to mention, the Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager after all, her identity is transcendent, Her Royal Highness wants to bring her down, but I am afraid that without sufficient preparation, it will never be possible. ”

Once the talk frame was opened, Yao Wenzhi was out of control, and he analyzed it endlessly.

"His Royal Highness is preparing, and the Empress Dowager is probably also preparing, the reserve prince must be the Empress Dowager's crucial killer weapon. Your Highness, you should have prepared early. ”

Although Chen Kaizhi was quite disgusted by this guy's talk, he had to admit that Yao Wenzhi's guess was right nine times out of ten.

Chen Kaizhi smiled at him: "Why did Duke Yao say this to this king?" ”

Yao Wenzhi said embarrassedly: "Without him, I just want to protect the Yao family in the future if one day, that's all, in fact, what the old man wants is not that his children and grandchildren can be rich and noble, in fact, this is no longer extravagant, I just want my children and grandchildren to be safe!" ”

Chen Kaizhi nodded, but he didn't agree, for Yao Wenzhi, he was still somewhat precautionary, only nodded and said: "It's not early, Yao Gong, farewell." ”

Yao Wenzhi glanced at Chen Kaizhi deeply, he knew that Chen Kaizhi did not have any promises, just because Chen Kaizhi wanted to listen to his words and watch his deeds.

Chen Kaizhi strode out of the palace and met him, but saw Fang Wucai and Yang Chang hurriedly entering the palace, and the two came together, panting, thinking that the empress dowager urgently summoned the two into the palace.

Chen Kaizhi passed by them, Yang Chang glanced at Chen Kai meaningfully, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze, but Uncle Fang didn't even look at Chen Kai, as if he was a stranger.

These two people received the message of the Empress Dowager and came non-stop, they didn't pay attention to Chen Kaizhi, and went all the way to Wanshou Palace.

Now, the contradiction has only completely reached the surface, just like Chen Wuji bluntly left Chen Kaizhi in public in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, because everyone understands that His Majesty and the King of Beijing want to discuss major matters; These two people don't need any cover-up.

In the Wanshou Palace, the Empress Dowager's face was pale, her eyes were gloomy, revealing anger, and the anger in her eyes seemed to be able to burn all around.

She sat alone in the empty dormitory, and pulled everyone out, waiting for Fang Wu and Yang Chang to arrive, and before the two of them saluted, the Empress Dowager stared at Yang Chang coldly: "What's the matter?" ”

Yang Chang is the governor of the Spiegel Division, specializing in finding out the news, so naturally, he should know what is going on outside?

Yang Chang was out of breath, and couldn't help but stiffen his head and said: "The minister also has a lot of things that are not clear, I only know that Chen Kaizhi was suddenly appointed as the Duke of Wende, and then, Wang Shijie of the Hue Army was held by several brocade guards...... The minister boldly speculated, perhaps...... Maybe someone leaked the news, or Chen Kaizhi was by the side of the Empress Dowager and planted eyes and ears, but it may not be. ”

At the moment, what else can Yang Chang say, this is the only explanation.

The whole thing is really weird and excessive, and so far, Yang Chang can't sort out his clues, except for this explanation, there seems to be no more reasonable explanation.

The Empress Dowager reined in a little anger, squinted her eyes slightly, and said lightly: "The mourning family, I also have some doubts about this, think about it carefully, these plans were originally invulnerable and airtight, but they are controlled everywhere, and they seem to ...... Except for the eyes and ears of Chen Kaizhi by his side, there is no other explanation. ”

The Empress Dowager's face became colder and colder, revealing a little anger: "It's just that not many people know about this plan, even Wang Shijie and others only know the tip of the iceberg, so what, can Chen Kaizhi know so much and clearly?" ”

The Empress Dowager said, staring at Yang Chang deadly, and at the same time, these eyes, like a blade, swept over Fang Wucai's body.

Yang Chang still has palpitations in his heart, his back is wet with cold sweat, he glanced at Fang Wucai sharply, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Actually, I humbly thought that there were only three people who knew about this, and Niangniang would never leak the news, but ......" He looked at Fang Wucai and said sharply: "Mr. Fang, what do you say?" ”

This is all too clear.

Yang Chang almost pointed at Fang Wucai's nose and scolded, you Fang Wucai is Chen Kaizhi's fine work.

The Empress Dowager's face was still as cold as frost, but she still didn't speak, but there was a suffocating killing intent in her eyes.

She said slowly, "Mr. Fang...... How does the mourning family treat you? ”

Now, even she was suspicious, and now that she thought about it, this possibility was getting bigger and bigger, and her seemingly casual questioning also made Yang Chang breathe a sigh of relief, he knew very well that Mr. Fang was dead.

Fang Wucai looked very indifferent, saluted the Empress Dowager, and paused word by word: "The mourning family treats the students like a mountain. ”

"Good." The Empress Dowager owes a debt, leans forward slightly, and looks at Fang Wucai with her eyes, as if she wants to find more clues from Fang Wucai's body: "Since the mourning family has not treated you poorly, then the mourning family wants to ask, Mr. Fang seems to have had some dealings with King Beijing in the past." ”

"Yes." Fang Wucai admitted very calmly: "At the beginning, the student was ordered by King Zhao and others to find out the depth of Chen Kaizhi, but he had some friendship with him. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled: "So, Mr. Fang thinks that what Yang Dudu said, should the mourning family believe it?" ”

The other meaning of this is that you are a good man, are you fine?

I'm afraid that Fang Wu just said the wrong thing and aroused the suspicion of the Empress Dowager, today, don't think about walking out of the Wanshou Palace.

The atmosphere was tense for a while.

Both of them stared at Fang Wu.
