Chapter 746: God-given opportunity
When Mr. Yan saw Chen Kaizhi coming, he smiled, put down the chess piece in his hand, and smiled faintly, "I can't take it down."
Mr. Fang was a little annoyed, snorted coldly, and breathed out from his nostrils.
"What a great chess, I'm about to end, but you're good, you can't even beat it if you can't."
Mr. Yan raised his eyes and smiled slightly at Mr. Fang: "Playing chess is just for self-entertainment. Now I am no longer idle clouds and wild cranes. Look, my lord is here." As he said that, he stood up and bowed to Chen Kaizhi.
Chen Kaizhi was speechless, but he was busy saluting Mr. Fang: "I have met my mentor." He nodded to Mr. Yan: "Hello, sir."
"How? That Your Highness Wuji must be extraordinary, right?" Mr. Yan smiled and asked Chen Kaizhi to sit down. He had no hurdles with Mr. Fang.
Chen Kaizhi was a little taboo, not because he was wary of his mentor, but he felt a little uncomfortable. He had always been a simple person in front of Mr. Fang, but now he was talking about this intrigue, which made him very uncomfortable.
So he smiled awkwardly: "Sir, I don't think this Prince Wuji is important. The important one is the Empress Dowager, and Wuji is just a chess piece."
Mr. Yan closed his eyes, but suddenly said seriously: "You must not be arbitrary. How can the lord be sure that the Empress Dowager is the chess player, and Wuji is the chess piece? Why can't it be Wuji a chess player, and the chess piece is the chess piece?"
After hearing Mr. Yan's words, Chen Kaizhi's body was shocked.
Although I didn't feel enlightened, I suddenly realized that Mr. Yan's reminder opened up a new idea for me.
Yes, all the actions of the Empress Dowager were very strange, or somewhat unusual.
Your Majesty is her grandson now, why did she create another Wuji? King Zhao is her son after all, but why did the Empress Dowager suppress him repeatedly?
Also, why did she go far away? Go to Ganquan Palace in Chang'an?
Why did you suddenly come back and bring Wuji?
Chen Kaizhiren was shocked when he thought this way, and then he said in shock: "All the behavior of the Empress Dowager is abnormal, and even completely contrary to human nature. The things she does are unpredictable. Then... if it is as the gentleman said, perhaps... the Empress Dowager is also a chess piece? The person who plays chess is Wuji... No, Wuji was just born more than ten years ago, or there is another person. But the question is, who can instruct the Empress Dowager in this world, and who in this world can make the Empress Dowager obey this person's words?"
Mr. Yan nodded and couldn't help laughing: "Lord, I just said it casually, and I was not sure. However, things in this world can be explained by not just the superiors and inferiors. In the past, Saint Confucius had 3,000 disciples, and all the disciples followed his advice. Is it because of Saint Confucius' status not as good as Saint Confucius's disciples?"
Mr. Yan immediately looked at Chen Kaizhi and couldn't help but say, "I saw that my lord was full of worries. Did this Wuji make the lord feel fearful? Then... what kind of boy should be like? He must be dazzling and he has no confidence in his lord."
Chen Kaizhi laughed silently. When he saw Wuji today, he was indeed mentally distorted. He was really worried now. In Mr. Yan's opinion, it must be that Wuji was too outstanding, so that Chen Kaizhi became worried. Chen Kaizhi did not point out: "Yes, I was shocked when I saw him. Mr. Wuji is still in charge now and must be planning a throne. King Zhao and others will also try their best to win time. What should we do?"
Mr. Yan asked Chen Kaizhi to sit down, then took a sip of tea, then looked at Mr. Fang and smiled faintly at Chen Kaizhi: "Don't you ask your mentor?"
"Ah..." Chen Kaizhi looked at Mr. Fang awkwardly.
Mr. Fang glared at Mr. Yan and shook his head gently: "You guys plan yours, I only listen to it. I don't have the ability to do this."
Mr. Yan smiled and said, "In this world, everything is false. Is the lord out of the sea?"
Chen Kaizhi nodded: "I've seen it by luck."
"In the vast ocean, there are impermanent changes, or there are storms or waves. Everything is crushed to pieces where these storms pass. But I have seen a mere reef in the sea, standing in the sea, and I don't know how many years have I spent. No matter how big the storm or how terrifying the wind and waves are, they are all unharmed. The lord believes that this is?"
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but focus on his head and echoed: "There is nothing else, the reef is solid and the foundation is deep."
"That's it." Mr. Yan smiled and said, "So... in fact, what's the matter with the strong wind and waves, thunder and lightning? He came from him, but what the lord had to do was to pay tribute to himself. There were still some merchants there, new markets, many workshops, and cultivation began, but this was not enough, but the lord's retreat. The Warriors' camp was an elite soldier, but it was limited by the number of people.
If the army is good and the food is sufficient, the number of people must be used to make up for its shortcomings. As for the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei has great potential, but after all, the time is still short and it is still lacking to temper it. From this, we can see that the lord is now a big family and a big business, but the foundation is not solid. Wuji is not a lord's confidant for the time being. The lord's own foundation is not solid. Therefore, I think that the lord should not spend time on Wuji, why not take this opportunity to consolidate himself?"
Chen Kaizhi nodded: "It takes time to consolidate the foundation in Jibei. It is probably impossible to pull out seedlings and encourage growth; the Jinyiwei also needs time to accumulate. After all, the Warriors Camp is still an imperial guard and has no order. Once it is recruited in large quantities, it is probably aroused suspicion in the palace."
Mr. Yan stared at Chen Kaizhi and asked word by word: "Have you ever thought that since the lord is now a royal family, has the support of the royal family?"
Chen Kaiyi was stunned and frowned deeply: "The clan..."
Mr. Yan smiled and stroked his beard and said, "Lord, you seem to have forgotten that the bad news about Duke Qi has been spread. Duke Qi is dead. I heard... he has a son, and this son is a bit unworthy."
Chen Kaizhi and Mr. Yan looked at each other, suddenly thought of something, thinking: "The foundation of King Zhao is, in addition to the generals and governors outside, is the royal family. If he loses the support of the royal family, his vitality will be greatly damaged. At present, Wuji is coveting the throne, and the Empress Dowager is probably going to take this opportunity to weaken King Zhao... This is indeed a good opportunity for heaven."
"No," Mr. Yan's smile became even more intense, and he asked solemnly: "God-given opportunity. But, has the lord got a solution to it?"
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile: "Actually, King Zhao's patience with me has reached its limit. Sooner or later, he will come to harm me. Since that's the case, then just take him down and I'll think about it again."
After talking about the main business, Chen Kaizhi sat down and chatted with his mentor with Mr. Yan for a few words. Mr. Fang looked at Chen Kaizhi and said in a deep voice: "Kaizhi, the Xun family has asked about your marriage several times."
"According to the teacher's idea, the students do not care about what auspicious day to prepare the six rituals."
Chen Kaizhi agreed very happily.
Chen Kaizhi has no relatives in this world at least for the time being, and his teacher is like a father. He can only be arranged by his mentor.
He doesn't have to worry about the others.
Anyway, he believes that his mentor can do it well.
Mr. Fang was obviously surprised to see Chen Kaizhi agree so readily, but now Chen Kaizhi is busy with official business and naturally has no time to care about these trivial matters, so he nodded: "Okay." He was very satisfied. He didn't want to care about the affairs in the court, so although he could listen to many plans on Feiyu Peak, he had more energy to study here. Originally, when Mr. Jiang was on the mountain, he had a happy time with Mr. Jiang, but now Mr. Jiang has gone to Jibei, and he seems lonely.
Chen Kaizhi seemed very regretful. Although his mentor went up the mountain, he came and went in a hurry and it was difficult to serve him. Therefore, the other party was obedient and rarely disobeyed his intentions.
A few days later, an order came from the palace and asked Chen Kaizhi to enter the palace to meet him. Chen Kaizhi did not dare to neglect and entered the palace directly.
This time, Empress Dowager Mu invited me. Chen Kaizhi arrived outside Kunning Palace, but saw Chen Wuji waiting here.
When he saw Chen Kaizhi coming, he smiled and nodded at Chen Kaizhi. The sunlight fell on him, making him look more and more handsome.
Chen Kaizhi was the one who saw him pursing his lips, and he saluted him: "Have you seen Your Highness, have you come to greet you?"
"Yes." Chen Wuji said with a smile: "My mother is ill these days, so I'll come and ask you for your wishes."
Next, there seemed to be nothing to talk about, and it seemed that they were both embarrassed. Chen Kaizhi said in a mess: "I heard that Your Highness has moved into the royal palace, and he is still used to living there?"
"Everything is fine." Chen Wuji's eyes were staring at Chen Kaizhi, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a faint smile. "In my eyes, there is no difference between living wherever he lives, but he just wants to live in chaos. The Duke of the National Guard is so smart. No wonder he is the commander of the Jinyiwei."
Chen Kaizhi laughed and looked at Chen Wuji's eyes. Seeing that he was looking at him seriously, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Where, if I had such a bright and intelligent ear, I wouldn't have met Your Highness like this today."
Chen Wuji pursed his lips: "But I have heard of some things too."
"Oh?" Chen Kaizhi raised his eyebrows, looked at Chen Wuji very seriously, and then said lightly: "Please give me advice."
Chen Wuji said to Chen Kaizhi with a faint expression: "Have you heard of the Zongshu Duke's proposal? In the ancestral temple in Yingchuan, someone has already proposed to drive the Duke's Duke out of the wall. This was secretly planned by Zong Ling's Mansion. Duke's Duke... Be careful."
