Chapter 95: Rewards
Suddenly, he asked King Zhao. King Zhao was in a mess, but knew that the situation was hopeless and he should never continue to get entangled in this matter.
He was indeed a little caught off guard by this sudden situation. How could he have thought that the terrifying heavenly plague would have been completely eliminated?
He tried hard to calm himself down and said with difficulty: "Emperor Taizu Gao has sent a dream to this life, which shows that his character is of great importance in this life. My brother failed to monitor for a while, so please forgive me."
The empress dowager's face turned cold and said, "Since he is of great character, the Ai family still remembers that the Tongzhi of Jinling actually accused him of making a fool of himself. But if this happens, come and take the Tongzhi of Jinling! He will punish him severely!"
King Zhao and others said one after another: "Empress and wise."
"As for Chen Kaizhi..." the Empress Dowager said slowly: "You guys, what does it mean?"
Yao Wenzhi took the lead and said: "Chen Kai's contribution is also of great significance. I believe that he should be honored and granted official positions to show his merits."
The Empress Dowager just smiled: "Where is the Minister of Personnel?"
The next moment, someone came out of work: "I am here."
"What do Zhao Qing's family think?"
"I think Mr. Yao said very well."
The Empress Dowager said indifferently: "But he is just a little scholar after all. If he is rewarded with great rewards, it will be inappropriate. What's more, this time, he relies on the great kindness of Emperor Taizu Gao. Look at the Ai family, let's forget it. Okay, I will issue an edict to the world."
"Abide by the order."
Everyone agreed.
The empress dowager arrived at Mingyue Pavilion. Today, her mood suddenly became clear. She was a woman who was as hard as iron, but now she suddenly became sentimental and couldn't help but burst into tears in her eyes.
Sitting down in Mingyue Pavilion, she ordered someone to take the memorial, and then looked at it. Seeing Chen Kaizhi's name, she couldn't help but tremble slightly. When Zhang Jing poured her tea, the queen mother said lightly: "A person who is not good enough, leave."
The female officials in Mingyue Pavilion, all the inner officials, have retired, and here, Zhang Jing is left alone.
Zhang Jingxi said unhappily: "Congratulations to Empress, congratulations to Empress..."
The Empress Dowager suppressed her hand: "It's too early to be happy now. This is God's protection. No, it is the protection of the ancestors. Emperor Taizu has only left behind such a direct descendant as Kaizhi. This is the appearance of Emperor Taizu Gao, and it is also the appearance of Wuji auspicious people."
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "I never thought of it. But... I heard that Mr. Yao asked Chen Kaizhi to be appointed, but the Empress refused. What is this... mean?"
The empress dowager took a sip of tea, her hair was lowered, and her eyes were also pulled down. She only looked at the tea foam rippling in the tea, and said lightly: "There are too many risks in Luoyang. Now the son of the King of Zhao is the emperor, and the royal family is even more in love with the King of Zhao. Now the Ai family can stabilize the court because the people like Zhao can afford it. They can wait for five years or ten years. When the King of Zhao's son grows older, the Ai family will return the power to his son."
"It is precisely because of this that some people, although they often make small fuss, are just small fuss after all. But what if the Ai family recognizes Wuji?"
Zhang Jing suddenly realized.
The Empress Dowager said coldly: "If you recognize him, many people will be unable to wait, because they cannot guarantee whether the son of King Zhao will still be the emperor in the future? Therefore, the court that could have been generally calm will be in chaos. In this way, a war is inevitable, and it is continuous turmoil, either you die or I die."
Zhang Jing hurriedly said, "The Empress is far-reaching."
The Empress Dowager showed some fatigue and continued, "But since we don't recognize each other, how can the Ai family keep the safety of this child? The King of Zhao is staring at him. If the Ai family seems to be too seriously considering Kaizhi today, the King of Zhao will not pay attention to this child. The child is still too weak after all. The Ai family would rather be here and make him fall into the market for the time being. This is better than letting him get involved in this dangerous situation. Therefore, the Ai family deliberately did not care about it. The Ai family didn't care about it, and even made some people care about it. They lost a game and needed to regroup and they couldn't care about this child."
Zhang Jing sighed: "The Empress's words really show her love for licking her calfs. Is it just that the slave has transferred a few warriors from the Mingjing Guard..."
"No need." The Empress Dowager shook her head: "Now don't let people notice any clues. Life is still long. The Ai family now has at least hope. From today on, the Ai family still has many chess to arrange. There should not be any amazing actions at the moment. Unfortunately, the child is a weak scholar. If he is a martial artist, he can protect himself in times of danger, and the Ai family will not be so worried."
As he said that, the Queen Mother glanced at Zhang Jing deeply: "So we must be patient now."
"But..." Zhang Jing was still a little worried. He was really scared by this heavenly plague.
The Empress Dowager smiled faintly and said, "But we can't do anything at all. This time, Emperor Taizu Gao gave this child a dream, which happened to be a chance. The Ai family did not grant any gifts or rewards, but they still needed to give him something."
Zhang Jing said: "What is the Empress Dowager who gave me?"
The Empress Dowager said: "Before Emperor Taizu Gao's death, there was a sword left, a "Wenchang Tu". This sword and book are all relics of Emperor Taizu Gao. Emperor Taizu Gao's death was urgent and he did not explain any words. This sword is now enshrined in the Taimiao, but no one can understand this "Wenchang Tu". Now it is put on the high pavilion and hidden in the Qilin Pavilion, only for the remembrance of the descendants of later generations."
The Empress Dowager smiled: "Since this child was taught by Emperor Taizu Gao in his dream, it is not wrong to say that he was half of the disciple of Emperor Taizu Gao. Since that's the case, giving this book to Chen Kaizhi is a compliment to him. No one can understand this book anyway, but this is the relics of Emperor Taizu Gao. As long as it is transferred to him, for this child, it is like a talisman on his body, and an iron certificate for the death of the alchemy. Ai family... I just want him to be safe and safe. You can take the "Wenchang Tu" and order someone to go to Jinling and give it to this child."
Giving a book...
Zhang Jing's eyes lit up suddenly. Yes, this book does not have much effect, but it is of great significance to leak out of the palace. For Chen Kaizhi, it is equivalent to a disguised protection.
But... he hesitated and said, "But although this "Wenchang Tu" is not cared about in Qilin Pavilion, it is ultimately a relic of Emperor Taizu Gao. If it is awarded, I am afraid..."
The Empress Dowager said lightly: "For this matter, the Ai family will greet the royal families. This book is useless anyway. They all say that they are descendants of Taizu and always call it Taizu Taizong. But how many of them really take Taizu Taizong in their hearts?"
"I understand." Zhang Jing bowed to the Empress Dowager.
The empress dowager stood up, she looked up at the countless beautiful scenery outside Mingyue Pavilion, and couldn't help but sigh: "God has really given the Ai family a big surprise. Zhang Jing, the Ai family really feels that the colors are much more colorful in front of her."
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "That's the Empress's joy. Oh, and there is also Mr. Wang who is kneeling in the Longmen Academy outside the palace."
A sharp trace of sharpness flashed through the queen mother's eyes: "Issuing an edict, the king's political slander, confusing the public, driving him out of the Kowloon Academy, and allowing him to return home, and not step into Luoyang."
This famous Mr. Wang, who is known for his knowledge of astronomy and geography, probably didn't expect that he had such a bad luck and wanted to pretend to be a famous scholar, but he encountered such a bizarre thing.
Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "Would the Empress give the "Wenchang Tu"? Should I let the slave go there in person?"
"No need." The Empress Dowager stretched out her eyebrows: "Everything cannot be passed. There are legitimate reasons for awarding the "Wenchang Tu", but even so, the Ai family is still afraid of being suspicious. If you go again, wouldn't it be a waste of doubt? Just condemn an internal official to go."
