Listening to Chu Hongze's words, Chen Mingjie couldn't help sighing, thinking of what happened recently, he felt sad and cold in his heart, "Lord Wang, you don't know, since the crown prince ascended the throne, a lot of things have happened......

The old emperor fell ill and died, and the court was in an uproar, and the crown prince Chu Hongchen naturally deserved to succeed to the throne, after all, this country cannot be without a king for a day.

Even though many people don't want to see such a situation, but the crown prince Chu Hongchen still succeeded to the throne smoothly and became the new emperor of Longteng Kingdom......

The crown prince Chu Hongchen was very humble when he first succeeded to the throne, and he always consulted the old ministers in the court if he was not sure, and he was also courteous to the courtiers on weekdays, so that many of his ministers were very satisfied until ......

On that day, he still went to court as always, and he was still calm and unspeakable, but the old prime minister of Song suddenly mentioned the matter of looking for Chu Hongze, the king of Rui, and the emperor began to pretend to agree, but suddenly it was like a different person, his temperament changed greatly, and all the loyal ministers who were dissatisfied were killed by various means.

All of a sudden, the ministers above the court suddenly everyone was in danger, and everyone was afraid and kept silent, even if the people were bored and the emperor's indulgence later, no one dared to say a word, and the current court did not look like a court at all, and it was very depressing.

Hearing this news, Chu Hongze couldn't help but be furious, he didn't expect things to turn out like this, there were many important ministers in the court in the past, but now they are ......

"Bang" slammed on the table with a bang, Chu Hongze was extremely angry in his heart, this was the country and subjects left by his father, he didn't expect to be so ruined by Chu Hongchen, this is simply ......

Thinking of this, Chu Hongze looked at Chen Mingjie, who was also full of anger and dared not speak, and said, "Lord Chen, the emperor is so unclear about right and wrong, the ministers of the court and the central government are in danger, and the people of the world are even more miserable, and this king ...... I was also confused about the cause of my father's death at that time, and I wondered if the adults could help the king? ”

This has been said very obviously, now the situation in Longteng Country has been made miserable by Chu Hongchen, and such Chu Hongchen is even more spurned and disgusted by Chu Hongze, he has a big plan in his heart, and naturally needs the support of these people, so ......

"This ...... This ......" Chen Mingjie actually thought of this when he saw Chu Hongze, and now Chu Hongze officially invited him, if you want to say that you are not impressed, it is fake, after all, the old emperor at the beginning had the grace of knowing him, and now the new emperor He also looks down on it, and the daily life of worrying also makes him a little irritable, he ......

However, even if there are thousands of reasons to join the house, he has to consider his family, he is now old and young, and there are dozens of people in the house, this thing is not something that can be done without scruples, and the risks involved are immeasurable.

Now that the crown prince Chu Hongchen has rightfully ascended the throne, all the forbidden troops in the capital are in his hands, and there are almost few upright ministers in the court, what does this Rui Wang use to fight him?

It's not a trivial matter, and there are so many things to consider and plan for, and their chances of winning are slim to none, which ......

Thinking of the entanglement, Chen Mingjie also fell into hesitation, he really didn't know what to do, after all, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, he ...... And how to choose?

Chu Hongze had been observing Chen Mingjie's face, and naturally he could see that he had fallen into hesitation now, and the expression on his face told him that he was very embarrassed by his words at this moment.

Chu Hongze thought about it, and finally sighed, he knew what Chen Mingjie was thinking now, and he also knew that in the current situation, even if he forced him to obey himself, and there was no benefit in standing on his side, it was indeed the most beneficial for the other party to live as well as now.

So, in the end, Chu Hongze sighed, he understood that Chen Mingjie also had difficulties, even now he was still able to be loyal to himself and the old emperor, but in the face of the current situation, he had to protect his family, otherwise he would end up like other loyal ministers, all of whom were killed by Chu Hongchen.

And now, the way to effectively get rid of this extinction is to stop following Chu Hongze, although he still agrees with the old emperor and Chu Hongze who is alive now, but the current situation is like this, he is also helpless, he will be persecuted, and fall into hesitation.

"It's okay, Lord Chen, this king understands your current situation, and this king doesn't want to embarrass you." Chu Hongze patted Chen Mingjie on the shoulder and signaled him not to hesitate any longer, "That's it, I understand you, so I'll give you some time, don't have a headache about this matter now, after I leave, you can slowly think about this matter, and give me an answer after a while." ”

Chen Mingjie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he knew that it was very wrong for him to fall into a state of hesitation like this now, but he really had no choice, after all, he was old and young, and the whole family could not do without him.

At that time, his family will be implicated, if that is the case, he feels that it is better to simply let himself die without a corpse, rather than dragging his family down.

Now Chu Hongze can give him a chance to think about his decision, and Chen Mingjie feels very grateful, after all, now Chu Hongze is equivalent to giving himself a chance to think about what kind of position he should stand in.

Thinking of this, Chen Mingjie hurriedly raised his head and arched his hand at Chu Hongze, and then said politely to him: "Lord Rui can be so reasonable, and the old man is really moved, then His Royal Highness King Rui should go back and wait for the news of the old man, the old man will definitely think about this matter well in these days, and make a careful choice." ”

Listening to Chen Mingjie's words, Chu Hongze nodded, and then left here, giving Chen Mingjie plenty of time to think about it.

In fact, he was also thinking about his next plan, he knew that it was useless for him to force Chen Mingjie to obey him now, and if he was rebellious and uncomfortable, he would probably denounce himself.

It's not that he doesn't trust him, but because now that the old emperor has gone, and his real hesitation is also because of his family, Chu Hongze is not confident enough to think that their Jiangshan Sheji is more important than his family.

……

An hour soon came, Wen Ruyi closely followed the passage of time, and found that an hour had actually passed, but Chu Hongze never came back.

While anxiously waiting, Wen Ruyi couldn't help but be a little worried, and then remembered that Chu Hongze asked her to let him wind before leaving, so Wen Ruyi got up directly, and then planned to go out to find Chu Hongze.

Just when she was about to go out directly, Chu Hongze walked in from outside, and Wen Ruyi saw that Chu Hongze came back safe and sound, and her heart was suddenly surprised.

So she hurriedly stepped forward to care about Chu Hongze's condition, and while talking to him, she checked if there were any small wounds on his body, "I'm scared to death, an hour has come, I didn't expect you to come back yet, I was almost in a hurry to find you." ”

Chu Hongze let Wen Ruyi rummage through his body to find out if there was a wound, and said with a smile at Wen Ruyi: "Don't you see I'm fine?" And it didn't take time, and I happened to come back with a little step, just afraid that you would worry. ”

At this time, Wen Ruyi finally checked Chu Hongze's body and found that he did not have any scars on his body, so he was relieved.

At the same time, she remembered that this time Chu Hongze had been out for an hour, and she didn't know what kind of result she had gotten.

So, Wen Ruyi looked at his face seriously, and asked him: "You know I'm worried about you, but what's your situation?" Why did you go out for an hour? What the hell is going on? Tell me about it. ”

Chu Hongze pondered for a moment, and without too much hesitation, he directly told Wen Ruyi about his inner thoughts, not to mention that even if he didn't want to say it now, there was nothing to hide from Wen Ruyi, after all, the person he trusted the most in the world now was Wen Ruyi, so his plan was to tell Wen Ruyi, he didn't want her to worry about him anymore, which was understandable.

"I just went to the house of a loyal minister, and he explained the recent situation, it seems that as long as the loyal ministers before my father and emperor expose a trace of dissatisfaction with Chu Hongchen, they will be directly killed by Chu Hongchen."

Wen Ruyi said with an indignant face after hearing this: "I can't imagine that this Chu Hongchen is so ruthless, no wonder he has been on the throne for so long, why have no ministers objected to his behavior, it turned out that he was interrupted in such a despicable way!" ”

After saying these words, Wen Ruyi remembered what Chu Hongze said again, so she continued to ask, "You go on, didn't you go to find that loyal minister?" And then what happened? Maybe he just told you about it, and then you came back......"

Listening to Wen Ruyi's words, Chu Hongze naturally shook his head, and then immediately began to explain the specific situation of his trip this time.
