Chen Kaizhi was silent for a moment, leaning slightly on the back of the chair, looking at Wang Shijie with clear eyes, and then said casually: "What else do you know about that prince?" ”

People are like this, once they pry open their mouths, they no longer have any burden in their hearts, they know everything and say everything, anyway, it makes no sense to hide it.

Wang Shijie swallowed his saliva: "The criminal officer is a little thirsty. ”

Chen Kaizhi glanced sideways at the brocade-clothed guard on the side.

Soon, a cup of tea was delivered, Wang Shijie drank it all, wiped his mouth after drinking, and then said to Chen Kai: "I only know that this prince is not a big Chen person." ”

"It's not Da Chen, so where are you?" Chen Kaizhi squinted his eyes slightly, looking at Wang Shijie very seriously.

"I was fortunate enough to see him from afar." Wang Shijie was silent for a moment, and then said: "He was talking to someone, but halfway through the conversation, when he saw me coming, he seemed to be on guard, so he changed his language, thinking about it, he thought that I couldn't understand what he said at all, but the criminal officer had some insight, although he didn't understand the meaning of his words, but he felt that what he said was ...... Wa language. ”

Wa language.

Chen Kaizhi frowned, his elbow leaned slightly against the case, his eyes became deep, and he asked Wang Shijie word by word: "Can you be sure?" ”

"Sure." Wang Shijie said: "The criminal officer has had some dealings with the Japanese people, there is a Japanese monk who once came to Luoyang, and when the criminal officer was young, he was a friend and could hear his voice; This person is very proficient in Japanese language, but what does a prince do to learn Japanese language? Therefore, the criminal officer boldly guessed that this Chinese language was his mother tongue. ”

"So, you're still a widow?" Chen Kaizhi smiled, and he was skeptical of Wang Shijie's words, because he couldn't confirm whether Wang Shijie's words were true or false.

Wang Shijie was worried, but Chen Kaizhi didn't seem to believe it, and hurriedly said: "Where do you dare to deceive Your Highness when you are guilty of official affairs." But ......," he dragged out, "it's not surprising. ”

"Oh?" Chen Kaizhi still looked at Wang Shijie with a smile.

Wang Shijie coughed a few times before continuing: "Your Highness, think about it, the person selected by the Empress Dowager will definitely be far-sighted, this person must be able to be used, but at the same time, there must also be a background, if you use this person to conclude an alliance with someone, for the Empress Dowager, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." ”

Listening to Wang Shijie's words, Chen Kaizhi nodded subconsciously.

The Empress Dowager has always been very strategic, and she will weigh the pros and cons of everything she does.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Chen Wou-ki, Chen Wou-Ki has a great relationship with the Hundred Schools of Princes, the Empress Dowager has mastered the secret of Chen Wou-Ki and let him ascend the throne, in essence, he can control Chen Wou-Ki as he wants, and at the same time, because of Chen Wou-Ki, he has received the strong support of the Hundred Schools of Princes.

It's just that the only thing that the Empress Dowager didn't expect was that Chen Wuji was unwilling to obey, and even risked being deposed and openly turned against the Empress Dowager.

This was something she had never expected.

She didn't know anything about Chen Wou-Ki's past, so she couldn't control Chen Wou-Ki.

She should be thinking about how to abolish Chen Wou-Ki now.

As for the next substitute, naturally you must not find ordinary people, because after all, only the Empress Dowager has a crucial handle, so why not choose someone who can make the Empress Dowager more powerful.

"You mean, the Empress Dowager's choice of this person will inevitably lead to the Empress Dowager being able to get the support of the Japanese people, but what is the use of getting the support of the Japanese people?"

Wang Shijie shook his head: "I don't know, the Empress Dowager's thoughts, it's hard to guess, the criminal official ...... It's just conjecture. ”

Chen Kaizhi felt that what he said was also reasonable, this woman was not simple, not something that ordinary people could guess, so he couldn't help but sneer.

"That's what I said, there is one more thing, this king wants to ask you, in addition to Guanzhong, what do you know, how many governors and festival envoys have a lot to do with the queen mother."

Wang Shijie shook his head: "The criminal officer doesn't know much about this, only that among the troops stationed in Beijing, there should be people from the Empress Dowager." ”

"Huh?" Chen Kaizhi looked at Wang Shijie and frowned deeply.

Wang Shijie sighed and said: "The Empress Dowager acts, there will always be leeway, this time it is the Hue army, but there must be soldiers and horses who do not move, but it may not be known which way the army and horses are, in addition, among the guards, I am afraid that there are also people from the Empress Dowager." ”

Chen Kaizhi nodded: "Very good, if you still know something, or remember something, ask someone to take pen and ink for you, and write it down, I hope what you say is the truth, otherwise it will ......"

Chen Kai smiled, and got up, as soon as he came out of the torture hall, Wu Yanshi chased after him, and couldn't help but say: "Your Highness is really powerful, just a few words, and then taught this Wang Shijie to speak." ”

Chen Kaizhi walked with his hands behind his back, glanced at him sideways, and laughed: "In this world, everyone has their own weaknesses, grasp this, and everything will always fall into place." ”

"Your Highness's teachings, keep them in your heart, Your Highness, now that you know that there is still such a person in this Ganquan Palace, do you immediately let Jinyi Wei ......?"

Chen Kaizhi pondered for a moment, but shook his head: "Don't act rashly." ”

"Yes, yes, I remembered that the land of Guanzhong is full of the ears and eyes of the Yang family, if Jin Yiwei rushes forward, he may not be able to please anything. But...... Come to think of it, now that things have come to this point, will the Empress Dowager immediately invite the prince to come to Beijing, if so, it is better to intercept and kill him halfway. ”

"Why do you want to intercept halfway?" Chen Kaizhi looked at Wu Yanshi strangely.

Wu Yan was stunned: "I don't know ...... Your Highness"

Chen Kaizhi said angrily: "This is the killer weapon of the Empress Dowager, even if it is sent to Luoyang this time, it must be strictly guarded, it is not easy to intercept and kill, and it is very easy to startle the snake." What's more, the king is the least worried, but this prince, because the things in this world, really can't be fake, fake can't be true, about today's interrogation, must not be publicized, if the queen mother plans to get this pseudo-prince to Beijing, it is bound to prepare for the final showdown, and there is nothing bad about the showdown, but the queen mother is a very cautious person, and will definitely make the most thorough preparations, according to this king, the queen mother will not only let this pseudo-prince come to Beijing, but even her strength in Guanzhong will also pour out, so it's good, Then fight to the death, this king, and I'm afraid they won't dare to come. ”

As he spoke, Chen Kai smiled and walked away, he suddenly looked back and looked at Wu Yanshi: "By the way, King Ruyang, can you find out your whereabouts?" ”

"Nope." Wu Yanshi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not that he is humble and unwilling to do his best, one is that the whereabouts of this King of Ruyang are already weird, and there are no clues so far, and second, this matter must not be leaked, so the people sent must be absolutely trustworthy people, but they don't dare to make a big splash, go around according to the map, and the people who can really be used are just dozens of people, let them investigate, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack." ”

Chen Kaizhi nodded and smiled slightly: "Let's go to Beizhen Fusi." ”

All the way back to Beizhen Fusi, as soon as he arrived at the door, there was a strong man at the door and said: "Your Highness, there is a person who asks to see." ”

"Who?" Chen Kaizhi was still thinking about Wang Shijie's confession in his heart, the truth of this person's confession was true or false, and he still needed to digest it slowly, so he was a little abrupt.

"I don't know, but ...... What he was holding in his hand was a letter of recommendation from the Jeju Governor Deng Jian, and he was humbly thinking that the Jeju Governor Deng and His Royal Highness ......"

Chen Kaizhi suddenly understood, strode in, and when he arrived in the hall, he saw a person with a hat on his head, covering the upper half of his face, sitting there quietly, and the whole person looked very mysterious.

This person can't see his face, but from his figure and body shape, Chen Kaizhi has no impression at all, he has never seen this person.

Therefore, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but step forward and said, "I still want to ask for advice." ”

When this person saw Chen Kai coming, you didn't stand up, but said, "His Royal Highness King Beijing, be polite." ”

He said politely, but he still sat down.

Chen Kaizhi smiled, in the past year, very few people have dared to be so 'polite' in front of him, everyone is respectful when they see him, it can be seen that this person is extraordinary, so he smiled: "Dare to ask your friend's surname." ”

The man was silent for a long time before he smiled and said, "The old man knows that His Highness will definitely ask, if you don't ask clearly, you won't be able to talk about it deeply, right...... Then see the light of day. ”

As he spoke, he took off his hat.

Chen Kaizhi looked at him, but he only saw the upper half of his face, but he was slightly stunned, this face was actually deformed, or rather, almost all of them were scars, obviously left by burning, his hair was thin, revealing his skull, and there were shocking scars on his skull, like a person who had experienced countless lives and deaths.

Chen Kaizhi frowned slightly, but he still remained calm, and seemed to be patiently waiting for this person to report to his home.

This extremely ugly person sighed and said, "The surviving person has seen His Highness, and His Highness must have been waiting for the old man for a long time." ”

Ruyang Wang ......

Chen Kai was stunned, his eyes widened in horror, and he looked at him incredulously.

This man is the king of Ruyang, but ...... Chen Kaizhi originally thought that this person was not only a person who planned a lot of things behind the scenes, but he must be a dignified person, or a fairy wind bone, which can be seen in this hateful face, but he still felt unacceptable, and then, Chen Kaizhi said: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness...... Could it be that the scars were left more than ten years ago? ”

"That was a long time ago." King Ruyang sighed, his eyes drifted far away, far away, as if he remembered the past, and sighed: "I didn't expect that there are so many people here who remember." ”

Chen Kaizhi smiled slightly: "I just heard His Royal Highness King Zhao mention the old prince." ”
