"Father, we can't let Qian Yu go on like this, otherwise what else can we do to instigate rebellion against the border troops?"
Chen Yuan was very anxious.
Chen Guogong turned a deaf ear to this and sat in his study quietly sipping tea.
Shi Donghai said with a smile: "Young Master, there is no need to worry. The Queen's marriage is coming soon. All we have to do is persuade her to return home and wait for her to help us control the Imperial Guard. Everything Qian Yu has today, whether it is money or a new city, is ours." Something in it.”
Chen Yuan suddenly understood, and after thinking about it carefully, he asked: "What if the little sister disagrees?"
"There's no reason why she doesn't agree."
Chen Guogong put down the book heavily, his face looking sinister.
If the unfilial daughter hadn't temporarily drawn a clear line with the Chen family, he would be sitting in the emperor's position now.
"Sir, now that His Majesty wants to accompany the Queen to visit the bride, and has invited so many important officials, it is because he has seen what you are thinking."
Shi Donghai's eyes were as vicious as ever.
Chen Yuancuo said in astonishment: "If the emperor insists on taking away the queen, what can he do?"
"Every official belongs to me, so what can the emperor do on his own? If I am pressed for help..."
Chen Guogong smiled coldly, and the study was filled with murderous intent.
He was so driven that he dared to kill the emperor on the spot, not to mention that when he came to the Chen family, he couldn't help the emperor!
Shi Donghai said: "Master, have you ever thought about who is advising the emperor? This person is so resourceful that he is hard to guard against every time he makes a move. Is it Zhao An?"
"Yes, father, Zhao An must die, and Mr. Zhou, whose talents have been shown and who is a die-hard royalist, must be killed as soon as possible to prevent future troubles." Chen Yuan followed suit.
Chen Guogong said: "When the emperor comes to the Chen family, as the chief steward of the imperial family, Zhao An will definitely come. Then you can find an opportunity to create some accidents and send him on his way."
"Here!"
Chen Yuan and Shi Donghai looked at each other and started to argue.
a whole day.
Most of the merchants in the capital have gone to the new city, and some are secretly observing Chen's movements, not daring to offend Chen's majesty.
In addition, the merchants have prepared gifts and are waiting to present them to the Duke tomorrow.
The next morning.
Zhao An helped the empress change into her dragon robe.
Today, she is full of majesty, high-spirited, and majestic in her movements, somewhat like a king.
Chen Yuru was also ready, Chang Ming disguised herself as a little eunuch and joined the honor guard.
As the chief steward of the imperial palace, Zhao An must always be with the empress.
The Luan Jia was activated, accompanied by hundreds of imperial guards.
The Chen family's mansion was bustling with activity, with hundreds of officials present, as well as wealthy families coming with lavish gifts.
Chen Guogong was dressed in a purple python robe, sitting firmly on his head with a smile on his face. Sitting next to him was his eldest wife, Mrs. Jiang.
Jiang is the legitimate daughter of a Jiangnan aristocratic family. Her family is knowledgeable and has a profound foundation. Her father was the elder of the Central Pavilion at that time, and he was full of talents all over the world.
Chen Guogong's current achievements are indispensable without the support of the Jiang family, so he still respects the Jiang family and only brings her to such important occasions.
Soon, some officials discovered something was wrong, because Chen Guogong did not seem to have prepared seats for the emperor and empress.
Everyone in Chen's direct lineage was very happy, but they didn't take the emperor seriously at all.
In a corner of the hall, Xu Ruqing and Chu Liuyun looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads.
Chen is too domineering. How will it end? Will a conflict break out?
Jiuyin knelt down behind Xu Ruqing, her pretty face filled with coldness. Because she was not allowed to wear weapons today, she was empty-handed now.
If anything really happens, she must seize the weapon as soon as possible.
At this moment, a steward came to Chen Guogong and said something. Then Chen Guogong waved his hand and asked people to temporarily add seats to the left and right in front.
Everyone was stunned.
Is this the plan to let the emperor and empress sit at the bottom?
"Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived——"
A eunuch's loud voice came, and everyone stood up.
Chen Guogong and Mr. Jiang looked at each other and stood up to greet them.
Chen still has to do this superficial job.
Under countless gazes, the empress pulled Chen Yuru, who was wearing a phoenix robe, and came with a smile on her face.
Zhao An followed suit, scanning the entire audience with the corner of his eye.
All the high officials of the imperial court were here, including Xu Ruqing and several important noble disciples, and even Prince Ning and Qian Yuwei were present.
What a big battle.
"Long live my emperor——"
Everyone knelt down, except Chen Guogong and Jiang Shi. They only bowed down.
The empress' face sank, and Chen Yuru also frowned slightly. She knew that her father wanted to rebel, but this was too wild.
"Hey, I'm so glad that Your Majesty and the Queen are here."
Chen Guogong smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
The empress held back without saying anything, her eyes swept over the ministers, and finally locked onto Prince Ning who was kneeling on the ground, and called her uncle.
Prince Ning said piously: "Your Majesty deigns to condescend to share the joy with me. This is God's great grace. I want to drink a few more drinks today."
"It's rare that I have free time. Today I would like to congratulate the Duke. You can feel free to do whatever you want and get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the officials sat down sparsely.
The empress looked at the two newly-installed side seats, and Chen Guogong planned to go there first and seize the host's seat with Jiang.
At this moment, Zhao An suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty, Madam!"
Chen Guogong and his wife were startled and turned their heads subconsciously. The empress and empress took this opportunity to step forward and sat down in the master's seat in an orderly manner.
By the time Chen Guogong and others reacted, they had already taken their seats.
He stared at the playful Zhao An angrily, "Eunuch Zhao, what do you want me to do?"
"Hey, Your Majesty came here today and prepared generous gifts, including a pair of emerald coral reefs, a pair of white jade plaques, a night pearl from the East China Sea, gold blinds, and thousands of pieces of silk. In addition, he also found a BMW horse for the great prince."
Zhao An introduced many gifts seriously.
Chen Guogong's eyelids were twitching wildly, he clasped his fists and said thank you, and then with a sullen face, he greeted Mr. Jiang to sit down at the side table.
Originally, he wanted to give the emperor and the unfilial daughter a slap in the face and make them lose face in front of the officials, but in the end, he was tricked by a dog slave.
Shi Donghai hid in the shadow somewhere and looked at Zhao An coldly.
Now he is 100% sure that it is Zhao An who is making plans behind the emperor's back. If this person is not removed, great things will happen!
There were sparse sounds in the hall. Some people wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and some looked teasing. In short, they all had their own agendas.
Ning Wang, Xu Ruqing, Qian Yuwei and others looked at Zhao An with fiery eyes. He dared to fool Chen Guogong in person. With such courage, it is no wonder that the emperor valued him so much.
The empress took a sip of fragrant tea and said nothing more.
Chen Guogong smiled when he saw this, "Your Majesty is here, the flowers are shining brightly, and I just happened to get some good wine, which I will offer to your Majesty for tasting."
He clapped his hands, and Chen's servants immediately brought the wine jar. When he opened it, he could smell the refreshing aroma.
The expressions on the officials' faces became extremely exciting, because this was the royal tribute wine!
