My wife is not a demon

Chen Mu smiled wryly and waved his hands: "I really can't win this kind of woman, so I have no interest in her."

The girl smiled.

……

After the two had been tender for a period of time, Chen Mu took her out of Jiyue Tower.

Just after leaving the pavilion, I happened to run into an acquaintance.

It was Mr. Ruan.

Judging from Mr. Ruan's slightly drunken appearance, it is obvious that this normally dignified teacher has also come to drink flower wine.

After seeing Chen Mu, Mr. Ruan was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly brightened: "Master Chen?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I can't see it."

Chen Mu patted the other party's shoulder very familiarly, and teased. "I didn't expect you, Mr. Ruan, to come to this kind of place."

"It's just a man's nature." Mr. Ruan was honest.

He turned his gaze to the cold-tempered Young Commander next to Chen Mu, was stunned for a moment, and soon came back to his senses, pulling Chen Mu aside: "Master Chen, since I happened to meet you, there are some things I want to talk to you about." talk."

"OK, no problem."

Chen Mu was also refreshed, seeing a teahouse next to him, "Go up and find a place to talk?"

"it is good."

Mr. Ruan nodded.

The three of them came to the teahouse and found a box.

Seeing that Mr. Ruan looked at Shao Si Ming and hesitated to speak, Chen Mu smiled and said: "Don't worry, she is my new wife, so you can speak up if you have anything to say."

Mr. Ruan stretched out his thumb in admiration: "Amazing."

Waiting for the waiter to bring tea, he closed the door tightly, and said straight to the point: "Master Chen, has there been any progress on the case of the raccoon prince?"

Chen Mu's slightly narrowed sharp eyes burst out with a gleam of brilliance.

After a few seconds of silence, he said softly, "There is some progress, but...it doesn't matter now."

"Why?" Mr. Ruan was stunned.

Chen Mu casually took the jade hand of the girl next to him, and while playing with it, he said: "Mr. Ruan, you are also my friend, so I will tell you frankly, the reason why the Queen Mother in Qingyu County wanted to find the prince was because the emperor is about to take over the government. But now that the queen mother has reversed the situation, there is no need for the prince to appear."

Hearing the other party's words, Mr. Ruan frowned tightly and remained silent.

Chen Mu understood his feelings: "I know you belong to the royalist faction, and you desperately want to find the crown prince to be orthodox. But I think that if the people in the world are healthy, it's good to keep the current situation. If the crown prince really sits The throne, what if it turned out to be a foolish king? Wouldn’t this great country be gone?”

Mr. Ruan's expression was bitter: "Your Excellency Chen can take it easy. No wonder many officials in the court said that you have no respect for the imperial power."

"I am not in the same world as you."

Chen Mu made a pun.

Mr. Ruan suddenly straightened his back and stared at Chen Mu with burning eyes: "Master Chen, do you really think that if the Queen Mother is in power, the people in this world will be able to live in peace?"

"I don't know, but I understand that the policies of the Empress Dowager over the years have revived the already declining dynasty to a certain extent."

Chen Mu smiled. "Before the Empress Dowager came to power, you knew better than me what was going on in the Great Yan Dynasty. There were natural and man-made disasters, and the people complained constantly. Coupled with the aggravation of foreign troubles, it can be said that the country has gone downhill, isn't it?"

Mr. Ruan nodded: "That's right, all the officials in the DPRK admit it. Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager's ability to govern is very good, but she is a woman with a foreign surname after all. Unless the Empress Dowager has enough time to reform the system of the ancestors, but this requires How long? Ten years? 20 years? 50 years?

The establishment of a dynasty is not as simple as building a house. It is formed by stacking countless systems. When someone wants to change the system fundamentally, it has already indicated that the dynasty is about to be destroyed.

The inheritance of royal blood is the greatest system, and no one can change it.

The queen mother is not a saint, she also has her own selfishness.

She wants to be the first empress in history, she wants to step down the Great Yan Dynasty and re-establish a dynasty that belongs to her.

But her enemies are not just the faction officials who opposed her in the DPRK, but the people all over the world, because everyone has accepted the old rules and systems. When one day suddenly changes, will the people live in peace? "

Chen Mu smiled slightly, and said in a nonchalant tone: "You think too much, most ordinary people actually care about whether they can live a good life, they don't care who is in power."

Looking at Mr. Ruan's flushed cheeks, Chen Mu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old Ruan, you view affairs from the standpoint of an official. I suggest you go to the bottom of the civil society and change your perspective again." .”

Mr. Ruan shook his head with a smile and sighed.

He knew that he couldn't talk to Chen Mu.

The other party's thinking is completely different from theirs, and it feels like the education that Chen Mu has received since childhood is different from theirs.

"Forget it, the old man doesn't talk about any big reasons."

Mr. Ruan held the teacup with both hands, shaking the tea leaves in the cup and said softly. "But there is one thing I have to tell you. We recently found out that the emperor seems to be cooperating with a mysterious force."

"Mysterious forces?" Chen Mu frowned.

Mr. Ruan said: "Although the emperor is young, his temperament is quite extreme, and he is easy to fall into extremes. Once he is pushed into a hurry, he may do things we didn't expect."

"for example?"

"Palace change!"

Mr. Ruan spat out two words.

Chen Mu, who was savoring the girl's delicate jade fingers, paused, then laughed and said, "The Queen Mother is not a vegetarian."

"Yes, the queen mother must have taken precautions, but after a long time, she will eventually be negligent."

Mr. Ruan leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice. "My lord Chen, the Queen Mother is no longer as ruthless as before, and has become a little soft-hearted. You have to understand how fatal it will be if a big man who is seizing power becomes soft-hearted.

Why doesn't the queen mother let you continue to track down the whereabouts of the prince? Is it because of fear?In fact, she just didn't want Concubine Xu's only blood to die.

But the emperor was different, he was already a little crazy after being oppressed, otherwise the Dongzhou massacre would not have happened.

The old man dares to assert that if the Queen Mother continues to maintain this 'benevolence', then there will be a round of bloody storms in the Great Yan Palace, and the world will also be in great turmoil. "

Chen Mu thought for a long time, picked up his teacup and asked, "Is the emperor still secretly tracking down the prince's whereabouts?"

"Yes."

Mr. Ruan nodded. "When he came from Qingyu County, he sent people to investigate secretly. You know that. With such a threat, if you keep him alive, can your majesty sleep well?"

At this time, Chen Mu seemed to understand the intention of the other party in saying these words to him, but his eyes flashed a compelling light: "So there is progress on the emperor's side?"
