Chu Chen didn't expect at first that such a simple will would allow the scheming ministers to imagine so many conspiracies and tricks in their hearts, but at this time, he silently watched the obvious changes in the ministers' expressions, and slowly understood in his heart.

Quietly glancing at Nan Mohao, who was silent, Chu Chen suppressed the anxiety about Zixi in his heart, calmed down, and thought about the current situation clearly, so he understood what the ministers were thinking in their hearts.

The accession to the throne of the young emperor is the best time to gather power.

From ascending the throne to pro-government, it took sixteen years - these long sixteen years, it can be said that Chu Chen and Nan Mohao are the emperors without proper names.

Without the name of the Son of Heaven, he can exercise the power of the Son of Heaven.

It depends on which of the two has a higher wrist, who has a deeper scheming, and who can hold on to the end.

Perhaps in the hearts of these courtiers in front of them, it was only a matter of time before Chu Chen and Nan Mohao turned against each other - and the fact in front of them represented an irresistible temptation of power.

It is not surprising that ministers who have been immersed in officialdom for many years would think like this.

In history, there are countless examples of fathers and sons turning against each other, brothers killing each other, and husbands and wives calculating each other for power. The royal family has no family affection, and it seems hypocritical to talk about intercession at this time, of course, few people will believe it.

They would not believe that under the drive of such a big interest, the interests of the world, Chu Chen and Nan Mohao could still maintain the previous peaceful coexistence.

Moreover, now that the empress is not in the court, no one can suppress the behavior that binds them.

For the sake of power, it seems to be a fact that is about to happen.

Chu Chen lowered his eyes and hid the deep thoughts under his eyes.

In that case, why not fulfill the thoughts of the ministers?

After ending the early dynasty in the different minds of the ministers, Chu Chen and Nan Mohao walked side by side in the direction of the imperial study, there was no one around, and Chu Chen had no scruples when he spoke.

"The silence of the ministers is due to the fact that they do not know the truth of the matter, and they think it is a conspiracy." Chu Chen's tone was light, "And His Majesty's departure may mean to them the expectation in their hearts, so they didn't question it out loud." ”

This is the sorrow of a dynasty.

No matter how well Zixi did during his reign, when these pedantic and selfish men perceived that their position was threatened, they would rather accept civil strife in exchange for a man as emperor than continue to face the situation of the empress in power.

Their silence means that they easily accepted the result of the abdication of the empress, the accession of the young emperor to the throne, and the auxiliary government of the two monarchs.

They even secretly expected that Chu Chen and Nan Mohao would turn against each other for power, and the winner would eventually usurp the throne - at least, they would not have to continue to be loyal to an empress.

"If I continue to work with you, it will be against their expectations." There was a hint of ridicule on his lips, and Chu Chen's tone was extremely calm, "If there is no hope, how can they have the motivation to do their duty?" ”

Nan Mohao didn't speak, and his cold expression couldn't tell any of the thoughts in his heart, but Chu Chen's words, he knew the whole meaning by listening to them.

He knew better than anyone what the courtiers were thinking.

The court, like the battlefield, is a hero in troubled times.

If Chu Chen and Nan Mohao, who are auxiliary ministers, have no selfishness and always maintain the same front, then the ministers have no interests to pursue, as long as they maintain the mentality of not making mistakes, how can they be motivated to really do a good job in politics?
