Chu Chen did not expect at first that such a simple decree would allow the scheming ministers to imagine so many conspiracies in their hearts, but at this moment, he was silently watching the obvious changes in his expressions of the ministers, and he slowly understood.

He looked at Nan Mohao without saying a word. Chu Chen suppressed his anxiety about Zixi, calmed down, thought clearly about the current situation, and then understood what the ministers were thinking.

The young emperor ascended the throne, which was the best time to gather power.

From ascending the throne to taking power, it took a full sixteen years - this long sixteen years, it can be said that Chu Chen and Nan Mohao were the emperors without a reputation.

Without the name of the emperor, you can exercise the power of the emperor.

It depends on who has a higher wrist, who has a deeper scheming, and who can persevere until the end.

Perhaps in the hearts of these court officials in front of you, it would be a matter of time before Chu Chen and Nan Mohao turned against each other - and the facts in front of you represent an irresistible temptation of power.

It is not surprising that ministers who have been immersed in official power for many years have such ideas.

There are countless examples of fathers and sons fighting each other for power, brothers killing each other, and couples complicity with each other. The royal family has no affection, so it seems hypocritical and hypocritical to be engaging in love at this time, of course few people will believe it.

They would not believe that driven by such a great interest - the interests that dominate the world, Chu Chen and Nan Mohao could still maintain the peaceful life they had before.

Besides, the Queen is not in the court right now, and no one can suppress the behavior that binds them.

The anti-seeking of power seems to be a fact that is about to happen before us.

Chu Chen lowered his eyes and covered the deep thoughts in his eyes.

Since that's the case, why not fulfill the thoughts in the ministers?

The morning court ended with different thoughts from the ministers. Chu Chen and Nan Mohao walked side by side in the direction of the imperial study room. There was no one around, so Chu Chen had no worries when he spoke.

"The ministers' silence is because they don't understand the truth of the matter. They think it is a conspiracy." Chu Chen said in a faint tone, "And His Majesty's departure may mean their expectations for them, so he did not question it."

This is the sorrow of a dynasty.

No matter how good Zixi did during his reign, when these pedantic and selfish men realized that their status was threatened, they would rather accept civil strife and exchange for a man as emperor than continue to face the situation where the empress was in power.

Their silence means that they easily accept the result of the empress’ abdication, the young emperor ascending the throne, and the two monarchs assisting the government.

They even secretly expect Chu Chen and Nan Mohao to turn against each other for power, and the winner will eventually usurp the throne - at least, there is no need to continue to be loyal to a queen.

"If I continue to work together with you, it will go against their expectations." A sarcastic curve appeared on my lips, and Chu Chen's tone was particularly calm. "If there is no hope, how can they be motivated to do their duties well?"

Nan Mohao didn't say anything, and his cold expression could not tell anything about him, but he could tell his full intention after hearing Chu Chen's words.

He knew the thoughts of the courtiers better than anyone else.

Like the battlefield, the court is full of heroes in troubled times.
