The new list of Emperor Zun Pavilion was updated in the afternoon, and the people in Ye Mansion learned the news before dinner.
They were busy spreading rumors about Fang Jue and failed to notice it in time. By the time they found out, it was almost dark.
"..."
In the dining room, the Ye family looked at each other, and no one moved their chopsticks.
The old man could not eat yet and was not present, but everyone was silent, not because they were afraid of the old man's blame.
They have long understood that after the old man dies, all that can be left to them is the family property.
In such a large Ye family, there is no one who can take over. In the future, the Ye family will inevitably be far away from the center of power.
Ye Hongyi is promising, but she is a girl after all, so being able to serve in the Hanging Sword Division is a blessing, but she cannot make any real achievements.
Therefore, money must be in your hands and you cannot give out half of it.
Because once the old man goes west, all connections will be unreliable. This time is a lesson... only the money in hand is real!
It was also because of this that everyone in the Ye family spared no effort to default on their debts, even at the cost of losing face and falsely accusing their benefactors.
But when the list of geniuses came out, the Ye family suddenly realized that all of their previous actions were like a clown.
Fang Jue doesn't need any reply or justification at all.
On a single list, this kind of honor is enough to wipe away all unfavorable remarks about him.
As long as it's not rebellion or patricide, the reputation of being number one on the wizard list is enough to overshadow him!
What's more, now, even the servants of the Ye Mansion suspect that what their master ordered is a false accusation.
"It has only been a few hours, but the trend has changed." Ye Gong said helplessly, looking at everyone.
Everyone here understood that this time they failed to steal the chicken, but instead lost the Ye family's face.
"The new list of Emperor Zun Pavilion is not updated sooner or later, but at this juncture..." Everyone complained.
At this time, Ye Linger thought of something:
"Fang Jue comes from Emperor Zun Pavilion in Taihuang Mountain..."
"this!"
The second son of Lord Ye Guo asked: "Is it possible that his relationship with Emperor Zun Pavilion is unusual?"
"I really learned from the old Pavilion Master, isn't it a big banner?..."
There is no hope of luck, and at this moment, everyone is regretful.
Suddenly, Ye Ling'er's mother sighed:
"Ling'er had a misunderstanding at the time and said she was willing to marry him... If we don't regret it, maybe we can climb the God's Pavilion..."
Emperor Zun Pavilion!
These three words are as important as Mount Taihuang.
If the Seven Kingdoms are the secular world, then the Emperor Zun Pavilion is an existence that transcends the world and stands at the top of the world to comment on the world.
Over the years, people who have walked out of the Emperor's Pavilion have been treated with courtesy by all parties no matter where they go...but no one has come down from the mountain to join the world in the past hundred years.
Therefore, Fang Jue said that he studied under the old master of Emperor Zun Pavilion, which is not very credible.
In the eyes of everyone, it is like someone saying that he studied under a saint... he is a scholar, and he is a disciple of a saint...
But now it seems that Emperor Zun Pavilion really values Fang Jue and would even create a new ranking for him!
This time, Ye's toy took off his clothes and smashed his own foot.
"Even if he is from Emperor Zun Pavilion, can't he be a villain with bad conduct?" Ye Guogong's eldest grandson narrowed his eyes and said viciously, intending to follow the rumors to the end.
But as soon as he said this, not only did he not get the support of everyone, but he saw ridicule from his sister Ye Ling'er.
"Emperor Pavilion will never delay its authority for the sake of one person."
"That's it, let's let this matter go. If we continue to do this, if Emperor Zun Pavilion really takes action for him, we will be finished!"
"That's what I mean too. Please apologize and ask for peace..."
Ye Mansion was scared.
They are not even afraid of the emperor, and feel that the emperor dare not bully their meritorious family, but Emperor Zun Pavilion is different. If they offend this extraterrestrial behemoth, they will die miserably.
Without certain deterrence, how can Emperor Zun Pavilion be judged by the world?
…
After dinner, Ye Hongyi returned to Ye Mansion.
She didn't plan to come back originally, but His Majesty didn't want Fang Jue to have an ugly fight with Ye Mansion. After all, both parties are very important in his eyes now.
Ye Guogong was a veteran of three dynasties and a top figure in the military. The emperor needed him to stabilize his power.
Fang Jue was listed as the number one prodigy in the world by Emperor Zun Pavilion. Xiao Pingsi was very curious about what his prodigy was.
If it is just a medical skill, then there is nothing to deal with.
"Red..."
Ye Gong greeted him personally, but at this moment, his face was full of regret.
Ye Hongyi said nothing and entered the main hall together with Ye Gong.
The old Duke was awake and staring coldly at everyone in the Ye family. When he saw Ye Hongyi coming back, his expression softened slightly.
"Grandpa." After paying her respects, Ye Hongyi sat next to the old Duke's bed.
The room was quiet, everyone in the Ye family seemed like children who had done something wrong and were waiting for the judgment of adults.
"Dad...what should we do?" Mrs. Ye Gong broke the silence.
The old man slapped the bedside angrily: "Do you still think of me as your father?"
Everyone bowed their heads.
"What did I order?"
"I asked you to apologize, but you are better off spreading rumors everywhere. If my old friends in the army hadn't come to see me... haha, I didn't know that you had done such a good thing!"
"I think you have become successful. Now you are in charge of the Ye family? Have I been sidelined? My words are useless, right?"
Ye Guogong has been immersed in the government for decades and has seen many such deceptions, but one day he himself was also deceived.
If he were in the army, he could kill these idiots!
"Ahem...Dad, you can't say that. Aren't we doing this for the Ye family..." the second daughter-in-law muttered.
Ye Hongyi said coldly: "Is it for your own pockets?"
"you……"
"Hongyi, how can you say that to your second aunt? Don't forget that you also need a share of this family property!" the second young master snorted.
Bang!
The old man threw the pillow over and hit him so hard that stars appeared in his eyes.
"What kind of family property is divided!?"
The old man glared and cursed: "I'm not dead yet! What the hell do you want to share in the family property!?"
The children and grandchildren were frightened and did not dare to take over. They expected their elders to die early. This was a very unfilial crime.
In this world, a person can get away with being dishonest and dishonest. But if someone is unfilial, once his reputation spreads, he will be in trouble. No one dares to be with such a person.
"With your virtues, even if I donate my property to the Ministry of Household Affairs, I won't leave it to you!" The old Duke was furious and wanted to throw something away, but there was only one pillow.
The old man who didn't get anything was so angry that he punched his thigh.
"How did I give birth to these things!"
Seeing her grandfather and others making such a fuss, Ye Hongyi felt a little comforted.
At least there are two people in this family who are sensible.
"Grandpa, the matter has come to this. It's useless to scold them anymore. Let's think about how to make things right first." Ye Hongyi was tired of hearing this.
If I continue to make trouble, there will be no results, I will just feel irritated.
Thinking of what Divine Doctor Fang said in front of Zhuangzi outside the city, Ye Hongyi was a little worried that he would regard Ye Mansion as an enemy.
Despite the current prosperity of the Ye family, it is actually already declining.
The old man only has a few more years to live.
In his early years, in order not to be suspected by the emperor, the old man did not make any friends, nor did he get close to the military generals... He did not even have a favorite disciple.
At present, the Ye family is favored by the emperor, but in the next two generations, there are no talents who can carry the cauldron.
It's impossible to get along in the army.
If you only rely on your title to survive without real power, then there is no difference between the palace of a prince and the palace of a wealthy person.
As for other connections... When Ye Guogong was seriously ill and about to die, many of his friends deliberately cut them off because they were worried about being attacked by Ye Guogong's enemies.
And Fang Jue...he is too young!
He is less than twenty-one years old and is the number one prodigy in the world. Although he has not shown his talent yet, he will eventually.
Such a person has a bright future. Based on His Majesty's attitude towards him, as long as this person is truly talented, he will definitely be reused in the future.
After all, he is someone endorsed by Emperor Zun Pavilion.
Offending a future powerful minister... would risk catastrophe for the Ye family.
Although Ye Hongyi has only served in the Xuanjian Division for a few years, she has also seen the decline of several princes' mansions. It is simply because they provoked too many people when they were in power, and now they are being punished.
"Hong Yi, what do you think we should do to remedy this?" The old Duke looked at his eldest granddaughter.
