Ye Wenxuan still knelt down, his voice calm: "Your Majesty doesn't know anything. Although the Ye family's major general has made achievements, he is also guilty!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Emperor Donglin's eyebrows suddenly frowned.

Ye Wenxuan kept observing Emperor Donglin's expression. Seeing that the surprise on his face was not like a false statement, he realized that he really didn't know the true identity of the major general of the Ye family.

Thinking of this, he hesitated a little. Should he say it or not?

"Let me tell me, what crime did Major General Ye commit?"

Ye Wenxuan lowered his eyes and decided to test again, "The Ye family army is the sharp blade of the country. The Ye family's major general led the Ye family army to attack the city and capture the village in Hexi and take down the Nanjun. This is indeed a great achievement, but his identity is not enough to enjoy such achievements!"

His voice became lower and lower, and finally he was so low that Emperor Donglin could hardly hear: "He was not a man from the Ye family. In a critical situation, he had no choice but to use his identity as a man from the Ye family to lead the crowd to fight for the old ministers. If he had to worry about it, he was guilty of deceiving the emperor. Naturally, I cannot let Your Majesty give him this merit, so please forgive me!"

"What do you mean?" Hearing this, Emperor Donglin felt relieved. He originally suspected that the Ye family's major general was a citizen of the enemy country, but he did not expect that he was just a non-Ye family member!

He patted Ye Wenxuan on the shoulder, "My country needs the protection of your Ye family, but it is not only your Ye family. Who is giving this achievement to? Besides, I am just giving him the title of his due merit, so why can't he give it?"

Ye Wenxuan still bowed his head, and his attitude was respectful but not surrendered: "Your Majesty is wise. I believe that this person is not the legitimate son of the Ye family, and it is not suitable to continue to stay in the Ye family Military Commission for important tasks, and it is more appropriate to choose another talent."

This made Emperor Donglin hesitate. The commandership of the Ye family army is the top priority. If it is controlled by the children of other surnames, it is difficult to guarantee that Ye Wenxuan will not have any unfair intentions. If something happens to the problem, it will be bad.

Ye Wenxuan has always been cautious and will not make brainless decisions easily. Such a request must be due to the cause.

However, if this person is not allowed to continue leading the Ye family army to fight, wouldn’t it be a shame for the other loyal people? This would be like a heavy loss for the court.

Emperor Donglin fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Emperor Donglin seemed to have signs of letting go, Ye Wenxuan continued to work hard: "I believe that the Ye family's major general made great contributions to this dispatch of troops, but his identity is different in the end, so it is not advisable to stay in the army for a long time. Your minister begs Your Majesty to think twice, take back the order, and reward gold, silver and fertile land instead to commend his military achievements."

Hearing this, Emperor Donglin looked serious: "Ye Aiqing, I know the general's doubts. But if outsiders know that I am afraid to promote Major General Ye to the commander of the Ye family army because of Major General Ye's identity, then how should the Ye family army convince the public? Since I have given the order, how can I repent? Besides, I am not such a pedantic and incompetent lord. Such a brave and good fighter should be rewarded. Major General Ye is a military general, and it is the right way to kill the enemy bravely. However, I will also take into account Ye Aiqing's wishes and prevent him from getting involved in the Ye family army."

Emperor Donglin paused, as if he had made up his mind. "I decided to give him a fifth-rank military general and let him take charge of the capital."

"Your Majesty!" Ye Wenxuan's face was full of shock. He didn't expect that the other party would make such a decision. Ye Zhaoyan led the troops to the capital and would sooner or later reveal his identity flaws. How could he hide it?

Instead of continuing to conceal it, it is better to confess it earlier to avoid major mistakes.

He took a deep breath and decided to burn his boat, "Your Majesty, I..."

Ye Wenxuan was about to defend himself, but an anxious voice from the guard came from outside: "Report to Your Majesty, I'll ask for a meeting."

"Prince!"

King Qing walked in and knelt down to pay his respects.

Emperor Donglin raised his hand and signaled him to flatten him, "Why are you here? But if you have something to do, come to me?"

King Qing stood up, glanced at Ye Wenxuan who was kneeling in the hall, and turned to respectfully said: "I have indeed reported something."

"You can speak out."

King Qing did not rush to speak, but stared at Ye Wenxuan and looked for a while. "Your Majesty, General Ye has been in the palace to meet His Majesty for a long time. Could it be that there is anything else that has not been reported?"

Emperor Donglin nodded, "The general told me something important, so he said a few more words to me."

"I don't know what a tricky thing it was, it took so long?"

Emperor Donglin was silent for a moment, but the matter was not concluded, and he didn't know how to speak.

Seeing this, Ye Wenxuan's thoughts were heard, but he did not reveal anything on his face. "This matter is of great importance, and I hope the prince can allow the minister to express his feelings in private."

"Oh? What big thing makes General Ye feel like he is facing a great enemy, and he is going to avoid me, the idle prince?" King Qing looked very interested, as if he was very interested in this secret.

Ye Wenxuan did not answer. He just looked at Emperor Donglin quietly. Emperor Donglin pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Since King Qing has this intention, Ye Aiqing might as well give King Qing a face, even if it comes to it."

Ye Wenxuan stood up, knelt respectfully on the ground, and said to Emperor Donglin: "Your Majesty..."

There was already a plea in his tone.

King Qing is more cunning than Emperor Donglin. It is not a blessing to make a fuss at this time, and Ye Wenxuan dared not bet.

When Emperor Donglin saw him insisting, he said helplessly: "Since that's the case, I'll go to the side palace to say it."

"Slow down!" At this time, King Qing stood up and bowed, "I will tell you about it. I have something to tell you about it, which is related to the major general of the Ye family. Please do not blame me for exceeding the rules."

Emperor Donglin frowned, "Can you say the same thing as Ye Aiqing?"

Ye Wenxuan secretly shouted, but sure enough, the next second, King Qing glanced at Ye Wenxuan, his smile was cold, but his tone was soft: "I recently heard that the Ye family's major general is quite sensitive, so I specially sent someone to investigate his identity. This really made me discover a big problem. I think it should be made public at this time!"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Donglin cheered up.

The corners of King Qing curled his lips and looked at Emperor Donglin and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of a woman named Ye Zhaoyan in the Ye family?"

Hearing these three words, Ye Wenxuan's whole body stiffened and sweat oozed from his forehead.

Emperor Donglin nodded slightly, "The daughter of the Ye family?"

"No, it's the Ye family's legitimate daughter!"

"Why mention this person?"

Qing Wang smiled and said, "According to the spy's return, the young lady of the Ye family went to Hexi with General Ye and disappeared on the way to Nanjun. Soon after, the major general of the Ye family led his army to set off. Can Your Majesty see that something is strange?"

"Ye Zhaoyan has anything to do with this major general of the Ye family?"

King Qing shook his head and smiled, "These two are the same people."

Same person?

Emperor Donglin was silent for a while and suddenly laughed, "Is this absurd? The major general of the Ye family is a man and Miss Ye is a woman. How can the two of them confuse each other?"
