Chapter 1524: When it comes
Wearing this thousand-year-old suit, Ye Jing smiled bitterly in his heart, but had to thank him for his grace. In fact, His Majesty's frugality had no effect on the Ye family. After all, those who were cheated were still the poor and innocent people.
The hajj finally ended. Ye Jing left with gratitude, and all the officials also surrendered. Seeing Ye Jing today gave them a new understanding of the future prince. The situation in the court was unpredictable. However, this time Ye Jing returned to the court, people smelled some bad meanings.
Ye Chunqiu was left alone. Zhu Houzhao looked at Ye Chunqiu with a smile, looking at Ye Chunqiu with a provocative look, with a smug smile on his lips.
Well, you don’t like wearing old clothes, then I will give your father a thousand-year-old clothes.
How could Ye Chunqiu not understand Zhu Houzhao's thoughts, but he did not take these things to heart. Instead, he said: "Your Majesty, my father actually brought hundreds of letters from Yang Yu and the Yang family's account books, all of which were brought to the capital. Tomorrow, my brother will personally send those things into the palace."
"Ah..." Zhu Houzhao seemed a little surprised and said, "Didn't it mean it's already burned?"
How could it really burn? When we came, although Ye Jing and Ye Chunqiu only mentioned this matter briefly, the father and son were in love, so how could Ye Chunqiu not know what was going on?
To the outside world, it can only be said to be burned. Only in this way can we calm everyone's hearts, otherwise it will inevitably lead to turmoil in the court and the public.
But if you really burn these letters and books to protect others, wouldn’t this betrayal?
Ye Chunqiu said: "Your Majesty, these letters and books involve too many people. Once they are exposed, they will inevitably make people uneasy. I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble at that time, so my father dare not admit it in front of all the officials. Please forgive my father's deception just now. My father did this just for the sake of the court. In fact, my brother thinks that the vast majority of people who have dealt with Yang Yu may not be his accomplices. In most cases, it is just a matter of personal relationships on the face of officials. Your Majesty can take a look at these letters and books in private. There is no need to make a big fuss. Your Majesty remembers the people involved in it, and there is no need to mobilize the masses. The so-called "the water is as clear as it is, there is no fish, and the people are as careful as it is, this is the reason."
Zhu Houzhao actually felt that it was impossible to really burn those things at first, but now she understands what it means, but she smiled and said, "You father and son are also playing tricks. But it doesn't matter. I won't blame you. You are also for my own good and for the sake of the Ming Dynasty."
Why didn't Zhu Houzhao understand the plan of the father and son? What is loyalty? This is loyalty. In the end, he did not deceive him, and he also solved the matter perfectly. Who has something to do with Yang Yu? Of course, the fewer people know, the better. This is a little secret between the Ye family and Zhu Houzhao. Of course, it may also involve Liu Jin, a factory manager of an expert factory.
So Ye Chunqiu did not explain too much, but said, "Your Majesty knows it in his heart. Some things are indeed not worthy of being told by outsiders."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Yesterday, the King of Zhou came to report that he wanted to promote the good things between my aunt Princess Yongkang and your father. What does your father think about this?"
Ye Chunqiu knew that the enthusiasm of the King of Zhou came from his hope to be completely connected with the Ye family, and also knew that Zhu Houzhao was not opposed to this. Thinking back to the beginning, Zhu Houzhao himself wanted to promote the princess and Ye Jing.
I have to say that the husband of Princess Yongkang passed away early and is now alone. Originally, the princess would inevitably be irresponsible for remarrying, but there were people in the royal family who had already done this matter, and His Highness Yongkang also had long admired Ye Jing.
Zhu Houzhao is not bound by the world, so he naturally strongly agrees with this. Empress Dowager Zhang is willing to become a beautiful woman. This is a natural thing. Ye Jing refused at the beginning, but this time, the situation is a little different. However, Ye Chunqiu still respects Ye Jing's wishes.
However, Ye Jing had already made an explanation with Ye Chunqiu today, and Ye Chunqiu had a good impression of Princess Yongkang.
At this point, there should be no obstacles to this matter.
Ye Chunqiu said: "It depends on Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao understood and said happily: "Okay, I know, but Princess Yongkang is my aunt after all, so it is more suitable to ask her mother to make the decision."
After Zhu Houzhao said that, the two looked at each other and smiled. Ye Chunqiu had just stood up and said, "Your Majesty, my father has just returned home. I must be at my knees and listen to my father's teachings. Your Majesty, I will say goodbye."
"Go, go." Zhu Houzhao shook her hand, looking happy.
Ye Chunqiu said goodbye and left. Just after passing the Meridian Gate, an eunuch from Tongzhengsi came to say, "Duke Zhenguo, Duke Li asks you to go to the cabinet."
Li Dongyang?
Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips. Logically speaking, he should have seen him in his private residence, but when he met in the cabinet, was there any business?
Ye Chunqiu did not dare to be negligent. When he arrived at the cabinet, Yang Yiqing happened to come. Yang Yiqing nodded at him with a smile and said, "Duke Zhenguo, I am just talking to you. I can't expect that Cao Cao will arrive."
Ye Chunqiu knew that it was Li Dongyang who was looking for him, but he never expected that Yang Yiqing would have something to do, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "I wonder what Mr. Yang has to give?"
"The order cannot be discussed." Yang Yiqing shook his head and then said, "It is for military affairs. Although I entered the cabinet, I have no other skills. I only have some understanding of military affairs. Just talk about the defense of the town here. I always feel that there are some omissions, but this is just a personal opinion and may not be taken as it is true. The Duke of the Town is familiar with military affairs, so I really want to ask for advice."
His attitude was very humble, and he never acted like a person who was young because Ye Chunqiu was young. It can be seen that he was a real person who was really hardworking. Ye Chunqiu said: "Then next time, Chunqiu will definitely visit Mr. Yang. I can't ask for advice. However, Chunqiu needs to ask Mr. Yang for more guidance."
Yang Yiqing stroked his beard and smiled and said, "It's good. Oh, you come to the cabinet, but someone invites you? Go, I won't disturb you."
When he heard Ye Chunqiu say he would definitely visit him when he was about to come, he knew that Ye Chunqiu was not available now.
Ye Chunqiu nodded to him, and after saying goodbye to him, he arrived outside Li Dongyang's public housing and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
