Lv Huaiyu watched the scene, his eyes glinting, and tily said, "Your Highness, last ti I ntioned letting Chen Mo beco the Crown Prince's reading companion, perhaps it's ti to consider that again?"
The Crown Prince's eyes lit up even more upon hearing this.
Wouldn't this allow him to often hear Chen Mo's stories?
The Empress heard Lv Huaiyu bring up the old matter again, she frowned slightly but couldn't directly refuse, after a mont of contemplation, she said, "Chen Mo has just taken office, and there are still many affairs that require transition, probably he can't spare the ti for now... If he has ti later, coming to the palace to read together is no problem."
"Alright then."
Lv Huaiyu did not say more.
The Empress said, "If there's nothing else, let us dismiss the court."
The ministers called out "Long live" and then exited the Golden Throne Hall one by one.
...
...
As they walked out of the palace, the bright sunlight poured down, and Yan Peizhi and others appeared sowhat dazed.
Everything that happened at court today completely exceeded their expectations. Initially, they thought Chen Mo was using public office for private revenge, they never imagined that Prince Yu Mansion actually betrayed the nation?
What they didn't expect even more was, in this seemingly uneven ga, it was Chen Mo, a re military officer, who smiled at the end!
Treading over Chu Heng's corpse to step on the court!
"If I rember correctly, during the Heavenly Human Martial Exam, he was just a Fifth Grade martial artist, how long has it been since then?" Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Xu Lin furrowed his brow and said in a low voice, "Could this guy be the reincarnation of so Great Power? Otherwise, it defies logic too much…"
"That's not clear." Feng Jinyu shook his head and said, "But in any case, the rise of the Chen Family is unstoppable."
Though Chen Zhuo is hard to deal with, he is rely an official, his hands can't reach the Six Ministries.
But Chen Mo is different.
The Sky Scale Guard was originally an independent institution apart from the Three Divisions and Six Ministries, dealing in those reconnaissance and intelligence, coercion, investigating officials... "dirty work," like a sharp blade hanging above the heads of all officials, nobody knows when it might fall.
Now with this father and son, one in the open and one in the dark, one speaking and one wielding a knife, who could outmaneuver them?
At this mont, Yan Peizhi suddenly spoke, "No need to worry excessively, the Chen Family may not necessarily be the enemy."
?
Feng Jinyu and Xu Lin exchanged glances, their expressions puzzled.
"It's no big deal for the two of us, we can just swallow our pride." Feng Jinyu frowned and said, "However, the grievances between the Yan Family and the Chen Family have been longstanding, if Chen Mo truly gains power, the first to settle accounts with would certainly be you?"
Yan Peizhi carried his hands behind his back, calmly said, "In the court, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, the conflict between the Yan Family and the Chen Family essentially arises from party discord... But do you think the current Chen Family still counts as the Imperial Consort Faction?"
The two were taken aback by his words.
Power owes duty only to the source of its power.
Behind the Chen Family, there is the shadow of the Imperial Consort, but Chen Mo was elevated single-handedly by the Empress, and now he has been granted the hall na "Heroic and Brave," the so-called factions have beco very blurred.
"This ti the Crown Prince turned danger into safety, he will certainly ascend to the throne in the future, and the Empress's elevation of Chen Mo is to help him build his future team." Yan Peizhi lowered his voice and said, "So what we should fight for is not the small benefits of the mont, but to seize the future!"
Words end here.
The two, having experienced the political world for many years, naturally understood the implication, and their emotions surged.
When the new monarch ascends the throne, he will surely clear the court; whatever they consu now, they will have to pay back in the future, what aning does party rivalry hold then?
What needs to be considered now is how to beco ministers who assist the dragon!
At this mont, Xu Lin looked around, puzzled, "Strange, why haven't we seen Cui Hao today? He didn't attend the court?"
"Heh, you don't know? On the day the ceremony ended, he was sent to the Imperial Prison." Feng Jinyu sneered and said, "Such a huge commotion in the Capital City, soone has to pay the price, do you think he, as the Capital Mayor, can escape?"
"Not to ntion Zhu Qiming, who leaked the city defense map, was one of Cui Hao's subordinates..."
"At that ti, it was fortunate to listen to Chen Mo, and order the arrest of Chu Heng, otherwise both of you would also have to accompany him in the Imperial Prison!"
Xu Lin felt a chill down his spine, and thinking about it now, he was still scared.
If they had sided with Prince Yu Mansion at the ti, or chose to stand by, resulting in Chu Heng's escape, it wouldn't be as simple as dereliction of duty; they would likely be tried as accomplices...
Almost dragged their entire clans into disaster!
Speaking of which, they owe a debt of gratitude to Chen Mo...
"By the way, Mr. Yan, there's sothing I haven't figured out." Feng Jinyu touched his chin and said, "No one sent to the Imperial Prison has been released without charge, so why would Chen Mo want to release your son?"
"..."
Yan Peizhi seed to have thought of sothing, his brow twitched slightly, a shadow flickered in his eyes.
"Maybe he was in a good mood..."
"You haven't reached so underhand agreent with him, have you?"
"Heh heh..."
...
...
"Mr. Chen, congratulations, congratulations!"
"To have a son like Chen Jinyan, the value of this saying keeps rising!"
"A twenty-year-old Grandmaster, what does that an? How can other Heavenly Pride even exist?"
"Not to ntion, jumping three ranks within half a year to join the Qilin Pavilion, this is pioneering history, an unprecedented feat!"
"Which of Chen Qianhu's deeds isn't groundbreaking? You'll get used to it."
Crowded in the center, Chen Zhuo was surrounded by various accolades without end.
Among them, he felt a bit dizzy himself...
How did that cheeky boy suddenly beco a Grandmaster?
Beside Zhuang Jingming, things were relatively quiet, only a few Cabinet ministers accompanied him, even the Minister of Revenue Lv Bojun, who used to interact closely, kept a certain distance from him.
