Chapter eight hundred and forty-fifth: direct descendant
Yao Wenzhi's smile was so clear that he analyzed it.
Target…Jibei.
Although Jibei also has an armed force recruited by local governments, after all, Chen Kaizhi's main force is in the capital. If there are indeed Japanese pirates who are troubled by the people of Northern Yan to plan to attack Jibei, then Jibei will be in the most dangerous situation.
Once forced into the Japanese pirates, the entire Jibei will be looted and nothing will be left.
Yao Wenzhi said again: "King Beijing, now the situation is urgent, and the various troops cannot discuss any good reasons for the time being. The most powerful thing about the Japanese pirates is not because they are really strong in military strength, but because they come with the waves and can go with the waves. They can be said to be unable to defend and disturb them. They may land in Jibei, launch a surprise attack, or land in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and then march straight into the hinterland of Jibei. Even it is unpredictable whether they will land from Yandi in the north and go south immediately."
Chen Kaizhi nodded: "Since that's the case, let the military towns of Denglai, Jibei and Jinan have strengthened their defenses."
Yao Wenzhi nodded: "The order has been issued, so be afraid..."
The Empress Dowager took over Yao Wenzhi's words at this time: "What the Yao Qing family means is that they are afraid of a slight mistake. Yes, the Japanese pirates are coming, and the seas of our court have been declining for a long time. I am afraid that most people will be useless. Once something goes wrong, it will shock the government and the people. The Ai family wants to allocate a military horse to prevent Japanese pirates, but which military horse should they send? This is a trouble, King Beijing, what do you think?"
Chen Kaizhi didn't understand that this was the killing move of the Empress Dowager.
The Japanese pirates were invading Jibei, with their clear purpose of targeting Jibei. Once the Japanese pirates attack Jibei, their rear would be completely unstable, which forced them to try their best to prevent them. Once they were divided into troops to prevent them, the new prince in the capital might have arrived in the capital, and the Empress Dowager could completely plan the decree.
What is this called? Let's fight the world. It's obvious that the Empress Dowager wants to take action in the capital, but she is afraid that she can't beat Chen Kaizhi, so she let the Japanese harass Jibei and make him mess up his troops in a panic, so the capital was under her control.
He won't be fooled?
But the Empress Dowager was unwilling to accept Chen Kaizhi's proposal. For her, she obviously wanted to fall into a dilemma.
The matter of the Japanese pirates was planned by the Empress Dowager.
The only thing Chen Kaizhi can do is to make a choice based on it, but no matter what choice is, it is enough to put Chen Kaizhi in a dilemma.
Chen Kaizhi smiled, "Then I have some soldiers and horses in Jibei, so I can resist it."
A hint of disappointment flashed across the Empress Dowager's face, but she said lightly: "Since even King Beijing doesn't care about it, let it go and discuss it later."
Although Chen Kaizhi was determined to fight with the Empress Dowager in the capital, he also understood that at this time, he could no longer drag it down. If he dragged it down, it would be detrimental to him. Then, he had to show up with the Empress Dowager as soon as possible. Chen Kaizhi smiled immediately: "There is one thing that I remembered, Taigong Yang, I don't know when he died?"
Taigong Yang could only have one person, that is, the father of the Empress Dowager.
Chen Kaizhi suddenly said these words, which made the ministers in the hall slightly stunned. The Empress Dowager also had a trance for a moment. She then smiled: "Why, King Beijing is actually interested in Taigong Xian?"
"But according to the Jinyiwei report, Yang Taigong was not dead. Do you know that the Empress knows this?"
This was originally told by King Ruyang of Chen Kaizhi, but Chen Kaizhi has now thrown it out, clearly using this to counterattack.
The Empress Dowager's face darkened, her eyes turned, she looked at Chen Kaizhi, and said coldly: "What are you saying? The Taigong has long been dead and has been buried. Why did King Beijing say this..."
Chen Kaizhi said bluntly: "Since the Jinyiwei found out, he naturally dared to assert that, but he didn't know why Yang Taigong pretended to die. This is very interesting. Why do the dignified royal relatives do this? Empress, if I expected it, I would just be buried under the tomb of Taigong first. Naturally, I have no intention of offending the Empress. My intention is that if Taigong first is still alive, wouldn't it be a good thing for the Empress Dowager? There must be some hidden information here. For the Empress Dowager, I will do my best to find out the truth and give the Empress Dowager justice."
A trace of anxiety was clearly seen in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, and this anxiety was captured by Chen Kaizhi. Chen Kaizhi understood in his heart that this Yang Taigong must be the most important part of the Yang family's planning and had a great relationship. Now Chen Kaizhi wanted to tell the Empress Dowager that he had already learned about all this, and soon all the arrangements and plans of the Yang family might completely surface.
The Empress Dowager did not express her voice: "This kind of self-proclaimed speechless thing is ridiculous." She looked around the ministers, and the ministers obviously found it incredible. Of course, many people were thoughtful. Those who could stand here were all extremely smart people. Obviously, they also knew that since King Beijing would raise this question, it would obviously not be groundless.
Chen Kaizhi's side did not give the Empress Dowager a chance to breathe, and pressed step by step: "And based on this clue, the Jinyiwei has discovered many old things from more than ten years ago. Because this matter is so important, the minister has to order a thorough investigation. What do the Empress think?"
The old story from more than ten years ago is mentioned suddenly, and the Empress Dowager looked at Chen Kaizhi. Chen Kaizhi obviously wanted to attack regardless of everything and dig out many ugly things.
But the question is, how much does this person know?
Or, what has the Jinyiwei found?
Has it touched the root?
The Empress Dowager was not sure at all. She realized at this moment that the affairs of the Japanese pirates and Jibei had already made Chen Kaizhi anxious, and it seemed... had begun to throw out all his trump cards.
This... certainly shocked the Empress Dowager, especially Chen Kaizhi mentioned the Taigong and the old story more than ten years ago, which shows that Chen Kaizhi has been secretly exploring this matter these days.
But this is not a bad thing either.
A smile appeared in the depths of the Empress Dowager's eyes.
Dogs that can bite people will not bark.
Now, Chen Kaizhi was obviously panicked and a little anxious, so he was anxious. Now, he directly attacked him in front of him, which shows that Chen Kaizhi was very impatient, and an impatient person means that he would keep making mistakes.
It seems...it's time.
The Empress Dowager smiled: "The Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal army. If you notice something, follow the clues and investigate it, it is okay. As long as it is beneficial to the court, how could the Ai family stop it?"
The Empress Dowager then said, "However, I talked about the old things from more than ten years ago..." She still smiled, her red lips pursed, as if she was a little hesitant, but Zhizhu was holding them, "The Ai family also remembered some old things, that is, the former emperor had two children, one of them was the descendant of the remnants of the sons."
She said these words casually, and suddenly, the palace was in an uproar.
Previously, the Empress Dowager had said that she had already caused countless speculations. Although it was not as shocking as the world was, many people who were interested had already felt like a storm was coming.
But now, when this was said by the Empress Dowager, it was completely different. The ministers all looked surprised, and some people could not even close their chins.
The Minister of Rites is very important, and he is busy working: "Empress, the remnants of all the sects... Please give me a message."
The Empress Dowager admired everyone's reaction, smiled, and then sighed, "Hey, it's all old things. Now, the Ai family has mentioned what they are doing. However, when King Beijing talked about the old things from more than ten years ago, it made the Ai family some... But, in fact, the Ai family also knew about this matter, and it was reported by Mingjingsi. The late emperor did have two sons, one of whom was a legitimate child and the other was a illegitimate child. However, he disappeared at the same time. Later, Mingjingsi dealt with some old documents from many years ago. Only then did he know that the late emperor had issued an oral order on this matter long ago and would never allow anyone to disclose it."
"When Ai's family found out, they were also very surprised that one of the two sons of the late emperor had, which was related to the remnants of the sons. Tell me, how strange this is, but this matter needs to be investigated in depth. Ai's family has ordered Mingjingsi to check the secret documents that had been kept more than ten years ago as soon as possible. I think that in the past few days, all the truth will be revealed to the world."
The ministers all found it incredible.
The prince whom the remnants of the sons?
The ministers were all from imperial examinations and read the Four Books and Five Classics. Almost everyone received the education that the remnants of the sons should be cut into pieces since childhood.
But I never expected that there were still many remnants of the sects in the palace back then.
If you think about it carefully, it is really creepy. Could it be that the person next to the late emperor and such a rebellion?
So, why did the remnants of the philosophers get into the palace? The purpose is obviously self-evident. It may even be that the disappearance of the prince was caused by these remnants. What is even more terrifying is, what conspiracy does the remnants of the philosophers have?
Such incredible things make people anxious because everyone knows that this is a huge scandal. Once it is spread, it will definitely shock the world. Not only the scholars of Dachen, but also the military and civilians will pay attention to it, but even the Yansheng Gong Mansion and other countries will pay great attention to it.
Of course, no matter what, the prince's mother is a remnant of all sons, but his father is the emperor after all, but under the current situation of respecting Confucianism, the identity of this prince is really too sensitive.
So, the Minister of Rites couldn't help but say, "Empress, is it because he said that he had lost a prince from the remnants of his sons?"
The voice he spoke was trembling, as if he was most afraid of was another situation, that is, His Majesty now...
