The mood of the First Empress Dowager suddenly became happy, she looked at Chen Kaizhi with blazing eyes, and said with a smile: "Chen Kaizhi, if you are the emperor and grandson of the mourning family, how good it would be." ”

"Ah......" The words that suddenly came out made Chen Kaizhi lose his temper suddenly.

Turning his eyes, he saw that the Empress Dowager threw a meaningful expression at him: "Okay, don't scare you, don't you think it's very difficult to talk to the mourning family." ”

"Not really." Chen Kaizhi smiled: "It's just that the mother is unfathomable, and the prelude to the ministers is right, and I always feel that my brain can't keep up." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled, her face bathed in the sun became more and more shining, but her voice became more and more gentle: "You are honest, honest people are good, you haven't married yet?" ”

Chen Kaizhi nodded: "Not yet." ”

"It's really rare to see an honest child like you, but the mourning family has a niece and nephew, who has recently lost her husband, and now she is still young and in her prime, you see ......"

Chen Kaizhi's heart tightened, even if she was a noble woman like the Empress Dowager, she actually liked to play with mandarin ducks like ordinary women.

Chen Kaizhi's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Niangniang, the minister is actually not honest. ”

"Huh?" The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Chen Kaizhi curiously: "What, do you have a better choice?" ”

Chen Kaizhi hurriedly lowered his eyes, looked ashamed, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he was about to tell the truth.

"Wechen ......"

The Empress Dowager laughed and interrupted: "Okay, let it be your own." ”

Chen Kaizhi had no choice but to retract the words that were about to be spoken, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

After chatting with the Empress Dowager for a while, Chen Kaizhi said goodbye abruptly.

It's just that what the Empress Dowager said today is really incomprehensible, he just left the Wanshou Palace and arrived at the front hall, but at this time, a eunuch immediately came quickly: "Chen Kaizhi...... Receiving the Will......

………………

At this time, in the Wanshou Palace, the Empress Dowager was already kneeling in the dormitory, and the woman who accompanied her was smiling and saying: "Queen Mother, that Chen Kaizhi doesn't know what blessings there are......"

His tone was full of envy.

But the Empress Dowager Mu was standing on one side, and she couldn't help but guess in her heart that Chen Kaizhi and the Empress Dowager didn't know what they said.

The Empress Dowager took a slow sip of tea, then slowly raised her eyes to look at the woman and spoke slowly.

"In the clan, it is rare to have such a person, the mourning family likes such a young man, he has the courage to do anything, and he can do anything, and now the mourning family feels more and more that this eventful autumn is coming, a few days ago, I heard that there is a person surnamed Fang, and he is talking to people everywhere about the catastrophe, right?"

"Yes." The person who called the Empress Dowager the Queen Mother was the eldest princess Chen Yan'er, she was still smiling, and said flatteringly: "The Empress Dowager actually knows this person?" ”

Empress Dowager Mu also knew Fang Wucai, and hurriedly said: "Erchen also knows a little about this person. ”

The Empress Dowager lowered her eyes blankly and said with a sigh.

I don't know if this person's words are true or false, but in this world, there is nothing but reality. There are too many things that are true and false, in fact, there are some things, why bother to talk about truth and falsehood. But there is one thing, he is right, the catastrophe is coming, you, one by one, the glory and wealth have been enjoyed for a long time, where do you know that the way of heaven is impermanent, this is too peaceful, I am afraid that it will not last, it is rare for the mourning family to see such an honest child, so ......"

Speaking of this, she raised her eyes and glanced at the Empress Dowager Mu deeply, her voice paused, and then she spoke again: "So the mourning family makes their own decisions, and they want to sharpen this kid well." ”

………………

Chen Kaizhi was stunned when he saw the eunuch who read out the will, isn't this the old eunuch who has been following him and the Empress Dowager around the imperial garden?

It stands to reason that if it is a holy decree, it should be issued by an official of the Ministry of Rites, after all, it needs to be drafted by the edict and must have a certain procedure; If it is the Empress Dowager's decree, it is also the eunuch of Kunning Palace who will read it, how can it be so decent, it is the people around the Empress Dowager who will promulgate the decree?

Didn't this old eunuch follow him and the Empress Dowager all the time? As soon as he said goodbye, he chased after him, obviously intentionally.

Chen Kaizhi didn't dare to slack off, and said: "Chen Kaizhi listens to orders. ”

"Chen Kai's people, great merit in the court, the courage to do things, now the recovery of the three provinces of Jibei, outstanding merits, no one in the court can be out of the right, give Chen Kai's auxiliary general, lead the fourth-class clan, and make him the envoy of the Jibei Festival, specializing in the political affairs ......of the Jibei army."

Chen Kaizhi hurriedly thanked him, but felt that this decree was not very 'in line', this was obviously not a formal holy decree, but a decree of the Empress Dowager.

………………

At this time, in the dormitory of the Wanshou Palace, it was silent.

Empress Dowager Mu was very puzzled by the Empress Dowager's words, but she couldn't guess the Empress Dowager's thoughts for a while, and she didn't know what the Empress Dowager meant to Chen Kaizhi, so she guessed in her heart, could it be that the Empress Dowager noticed something? Otherwise, how could the Empress Dowager value Chen Kaizhi so much?

If she didn't notice anything, how could the Empress Dowager show her importance to Chen Kaizhi so openly?

Although Chen Kaizhi is somewhat capable, he is still young after all, and with the status of the Empress Dowager, he does not necessarily have to look up to Chen Kaizhi without any background.

But what exactly did she notice, shouldn't the Empress Dowager ask her?

Empress Dowager Mu only felt that it was difficult to guess the Empress Dowager's thoughts, so she could only smile at the Empress Dowager and say.

"Erchen also thinks he's a good kid."

The Empress Dowager also smiled, but the conversation changed.

"So, didn't you ask Chen Kaizhi yesterday about being appointed as a festival envoy? The mourning family will be the master on your behalf, and issue a decree to him, and he will be the envoy of the Jibei Festival, you see, you ...... Don't be surprised. ”

Here, there seem to be two meanings, on the one hand, the Empress Dowager is more than the Empress Dowager, which is equivalent to directly passing the court and the Empress Dowager Mu, and directly promulgating the edict, which obviously makes people feel strange, could it be that the Empress Dowager is showing her authority, and wants to use this to elevate the Empress Dowager Mu?

On the other hand, the Empress Dowager's direct decree is unprecedented, which is tantamount to telling some people that the relationship between Chen Kaizhi and the Empress Dowager is extraordinary and unusual.

In a sense, Chen Kaizhi, the envoy of the Jibei Festival, is only afraid that the gold content is higher, and the balance between the current court, the Empress Dowager Mu and the King of Zhao, inside and outside the court, who doesn't know? Therefore, this Manchu dynasty is either the henchman of the Empress Dowager Mu or the henchman of King Zhao, but this edict is similar to saying that Chen Kaizhi is the 'henchman' of the Empress Dowager.

This weight is not shallow.

Empress Dowager Mu was unexpected, and she didn't allow her to think about it at the moment, so she hurriedly said: "Where do the concubines dare to be strange, everything depends on the queen mother." ”

"It's not going to work." The Empress Dowager smiled, she looked light, and then said: "The mourning family is at this age, what can you do, this time, it's just an exception, the mourning family is old, just want to be able to live for a few more years, it's enough, okay, the mourning family is also lacking, you all retreat, Chen Kaizhi recovered the three mansions of Jibei, this is an immortal achievement, and it is also my great Chen Zhifu, after a few days, let the emperor go to worship the Taimiao." ”

Empress Dowager Mu responded: "Yes." ”

The eldest princess Chen Yan'er also said with a smile: "The queen mother should pay more attention to her body, since the queen mother is lacking, the minister has retired." ”

"Wait......" The Empress Dowager seemed to have thought of something, and said lightly.

Chen Yaner hurriedly stopped, although she was the pearl of the Empress Dowager's palm, but when she felt that the Empress Dowager's tone was a little moody, she was quite nervous.

She looked back at the Empress Dowager and asked puzzledly, "I don't know what else the Empress Dowager commands?" ”

The Empress Dowager suddenly had a frosty face, looked at Chen Yan'er with a pair of eyes, and said coldly: "Take care of your horses, don't cause trouble, you go and tell him, the mourning family knows everything, but Chen Kaizhi once saved the life of the mourning family!" ”

This sentence made the eldest princess confused.

Her eyes were full of surprise, what did this have to do with her own colt?

He...... Do you recognize Chen Kaizhi?

It's just that the queen mother's words, with undoubted majesty, made Chen Yaner's heart chuckle inexplicably, although she was completely in the dark and didn't know what was going on, but the queen mother's words with a warning had to make her pay attention.

So she pursed her lips and replied in a shallow voice: "Yes, Erchen knows." ”

"Go, go." The Empress Dowager regained her kindness and smiled faintly at Chen Yan'er.

And Chen Kaizhi, who received the holy decree, had a complicated mood.

What does this mean? inexplicably entered the palace, inexplicably listened to some words, and inexplicably received an inexplicable edict.

What kind of medicine is sold in the queen mother's gourd?

He doesn't understand.

Chen Kaizhi thanked him, he suddenly found that many times, people should not seek troubles on their own, if there are really unsolvable doubts, then don't think about anything, why bother with their brain cells?

Having said that, General Fuguo, this is a third level in a row, above the lieutenant of Zhenguo, it is General Fengguo, and above General Fengguo, it is the General of Fuguo.

But don't underestimate the title system in the clan, the promotion of this title means the promotion of status in the clan, Chen Kaizhi has now become a real general, not to mention that he has become the envoy of the Jibei Festival, the position of the envoy of this festival, the horse is in charge of the army, the horse is in charge of the people, and the taxes, financial power, and education are grasped, in the eyes of many people, it is the top fat difference.

Although this is only the envoy of Jibei Festival, not the control of the three prefectures of Jibei, Chen Kaizhi is still satisfied, after all, his future territory can obviously only take the route of commerce, what he wants to establish is a commercial city-state, no matter how big the land is, what is the use, farming?
