After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 662
Prime Minister Chen deliberately called Chen Qiyu back, not to praise him, of course, but for Empress Chen's affairs.

Prime Minister Chen gestured to his son, son-in-law and grandson to sit down, then turned around and took out a few letters from the hidden compartment, and handed them to Chen Qiyu.

"Qi Yu, you were still young, and there are some things that my grandfather wanted to wait for you to practice for a few more years before explaining to you." Chen Chengxiang half sighed, half said with relief: "But your growth has surpassed that of your grandfather's." According to the expectation, every two years after entering the court, he will be able to take charge of his own affairs."

Chen Qiyu opened the letter in his hand with some doubts, but suddenly found that the handwriting inside was somewhat familiar.Isn't that my aunt's word?
He looked up at Chen Chengxiang, then lowered his head, first glanced through the letters quickly, and then fell silent.

It is impossible for Prime Minister Chen to be unclear about the meaning of Empress Chen's letter, but Chen Qiyu is not sure what the grandfather meant when he brought these letters in front of him.

"Aunt has always been able to contact the family?" Chen Qiyu finally chose the least important direction to speak. What he said was a question, but his tone was affirmative.

Prime Minister Chen did not shy away from it. After all, Chen Qiyu was the next head of the Chen family he had identified, and he would have to account for these matters sooner or later.Therefore, Prime Minister Chen clearly explained the matter of the Chen family's secret guards coming and going in the palace. In addition, there were some hidden stakes about the Chen family in the palace. He planned to wait for his son-in-law to leave before explaining to Chen Qiyu in private.

Even though Chen Qiyu had been mentally prepared, Prime Minister Chen's words still surprised him.The point is that the Chen family was so courageous that it surprised him.

It is true that the Chen family had never thought of seeking to usurp the throne, but from the layout that Prime Minister Chen handed over to Chen Qiyu, he could vaguely sense that the Chen family's ambitions were not limited to being an extremely powerful official.

In fact, the Chen family still has greater ambitions, but the ambition of manipulating the monarch is not easy to realize.

The emperor is really not a wise king, but in the words of the princess, he focused all his skill points on the struggle for power and the balance of factions. Although the emperor has never won the battle between imperial power and ministerial power, he has never won. lose.

But even so, Chen Qiyu was still taken aback by the layout of the Chen family behind them.As a promising young man with extremely upright views and national interests above all else, he actually couldn't accept what the Chen family had done.

However, after training in the East Palace for so long, Chen Qiyu has also been trained. Although he does not grow into a superb actor like the prince and princess, he can still keep calm and not miss any clues when things happen.

After Chen Qiyu read the letter, he looked up calmly. His composure satisfied Chen Chengxiang.

"What does grandfather think?" Chen Qiyu carefully tested Chen Chengxiang's attitude.

"I want to hear your opinion." Chen Chengxiang didn't take the bait, instead of answering the question.

Chen Qiyu was silent for a moment, then looked back at his father and uncle Anxihou, this cautious performance made Chen Chengxiang even more relieved.

"Whatever Qi Yu thinks, it's okay to speak up." Chengxiang Chen nodded to him, implying that the two behind him are also insiders, so there is no need to hide anything.

"Inappropriate." Chen Qiyu simply shook his head: "Although my aunt is in a difficult situation at the moment, she is still the queen, the legitimate lord of the Six Palaces. Although it seems that the emperor broke with the aunt and even forced her to stay in Weiyang Palace to recuperate, but before However, the emperor's attitude towards our Chen family has remained the same as before, and there has been no change due to the aunt's incident. Therefore, I think that the emperor's move should be based on intimidation. This threat is not only directed at the aunt, but also at our Chen family. .”

"What Qi Yu means is that what the emperor wants is our Chen family's compromise on the matter of building Dan Palace?" An Xihou asked.

"Yes." Chen Qiyu nodded with certainty: "I think so."

"But I think elder sister's worries are not unreasonable." Chen Qiyu's father was not so optimistic: "Elder sister thinks that the emperor really wants her to go crazy."

"In this regard, I also think that my aunt's judgment is reasonable." Chen Qiyu looked like he was discussing the matter.

Empress Chen's madness is of course a peace of mind for the emperor, and everyone present knows it well.

And although Empress Chen didn't say it clearly in the letter, everyone present was very clear about her plan—to use her own way to punish her.

The emperor wanted Empress Chen to be "crazy", and Empress Chen wanted the emperor to be "sick", so sick that she could only lie on the bed and be controlled by her, so as to achieve the purpose of coercing the emperor and making the princes.

"But if the emperor is seriously ill at this time," Chen Qiyu turned and glanced at his own father: "The prince's supervision of the country is justified, and it doesn't make much sense for the aunt to control the emperor. On the contrary, if the prince becomes suspicious because of this, the aunt still It will be very passive."

Chen Chengxiang nodded, this was also his main worry.The East Palace has been gaining momentum recently, and if the emperor lies down at this time, it will just give the East Palace a legitimate reason to control the government.

A strong and shrewd new monarch is not so easy to control.

"Difficult!" Uncle Chen and An Xihou looked at each other and sighed slightly: "The crown prince is so powerful, even if the eldest sister becomes the queen mother in the future, I'm afraid..."

Uncle Chen did not say the second half of the sentence, but there is no need to say it explicitly, everyone knows it well.

According to the prince's personality, he shouldn't just watch the queen mother control the power of the sixth house.

After hearing Uncle Chen's words, Anxi Hou narrowed his eyes slightly. After pondering for a moment, he said: "If... the new king is not established, and the middle palace is empty, then the empress dowager will be in charge of the sixth for the time being." Gong, isn't it justified?"

Chen Qiyu was shocked secretly, but there was no clue on his face.He raised his eyes and glanced at An Xihou, and said: "There is still the empress dowager in the palace, and that one is not easy to get along with. It is too early to plan for the new king's ascension, so let's think about it first." Think about how to deal with the situation in front of you."

"That's right. It's too early to say these things. After all, Marquis Wu Ding doesn't know what's going on!" An Xihou nodded lightly, and didn't continue to dwell on this topic.

"What? What is my brother-in-law's plan for Marquis Wu Ding?" The uncle of the Chen family glanced at An Xihou with a half-smile.

"Shangguan's position as the Crown Princess is due to her own father, Marquis Wu Ding!" An Xihou replied with a smile: "If Marquis Wu Ding is not around, how can she be the niece of a second-rank foreign minister to occupy the position of the Crown Prince and concubine?" Do you want to leave the position?"

As expected of an old fox, Prime Minister Chen watched his son discuss with his son-in-law for a long time, but still remained silent, as if he didn't care who was the princess.

But Chen Qiyu knew that was not the case.He knew his grandfather well, and he knew that his grandfather had listened to his uncle's words.

　--- Here is the dividing line of the best solution ---
　　For the Chen family, the best solution is for the emperor to be "ill" and the prince to die, and let Empress Chen take care of the young clan.But this has not fulfilled the conditions. Prime Minister Chen is very clear that with the strength of the Chen family, it is impossible to kill the crown princess, let alone the crown prince.
