Ye Yongjia came out and closed the door, thinking about what role he could play in Wei Huai. But he had just handed a layoff list to Wan Heshun - several people from the Wan Party were written on it.
There were people from the Lu Party and some minor officials who were innocently affected. He was already so manipulated and in a dilemma. If asked how to turn the tide, Ye Yongjia felt that this was a long way away.
He came down from a corridor and saw Cai Xianqing walking through the hall with her head held high.
"Cai...Mr. Cai, long time no see." Ye Yongjia saluted.
"Long time no see," Cai Xianqing said, "Is the prince in the living room?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Nothing's wrong. It's almost the Chinese New Year. The prince asked me to come and have a chat."
"You go ahead."
Just as Ye Yongjia was about to go over, Cai Xianqing grabbed his robe and whispered: "Master Ye, if you want to have a few words with me, just go to Huaiqing Bridge and wait. I will be here in a moment."
Cai Xianqing patted him on the shoulder, and Ye Yongjia nodded.
After the Huaiqing Bridge suffered a flood, there were few people inhabiting it for a period of time. After that, the water calmed down and the scenery gradually returned to its former glory. Now, the bridge is now full of people up and down the bridge.
Ye Yongjia was afraid of being recognized, so he pulled down the hood on his head to cover his eyebrows before walking into the tea shop.
"Master of tea, serve tea." He threw a few coins casually and chose a seat to sit down.
"Here we come." The shopkeeper collected the money and ordered the waiter to bring three bowls of tea, arranged them one after another, and brought them over.
"Thank you very much." Ye Yongjia blew the hot air, took a small sip, and said with a smile.
He waited for a while. Suddenly a man in a black burqa, also covering his eyes, appeared in the tea shop. Without saying a word, he sat down opposite Ye Yongjia.
"Mr. Cai, how did you know I was in trouble?" He asked quietly as he moved forward to propose a cup of tea.
"I had something on my mind when I saw you," Cai Xianqing opened the lid of the bowl, "Just tell me and I can help you to the best of my ability."
Ye Yongjia knew his many plans, so he said: "It's about Mr. Wei's academy being taken over."
Cai Xianqing frowned: "Take over? What are the officers and soldiers of Sihe Academy doing..."
"The problem is that Mr. Wei was deceived by Wan Heshun and promised to do this himself. It would be even harder to get them to give up now," Ye Yongjia said.
"Mr. Wei is a hero. Master Ye once had a teacher-student relationship with him, so he should do his best to save him," Cai Xianqing advised.
Ye Yongjia lifted his hood, and a pair of eager eyes emerged from there: "I beg you to resolve this situation."
Cai Xianqing coughed a few times: "My status is still a little low, so I'm afraid I can't relieve your worries." He pushed away the tea bowl, "But... I am willing to offer a strategy."
"Want to hear the details."
Cai Xianqing leaned into his ear and said a few words. Ye Yongjia was shuddered: "Let Lu Fangxuan get involved?"
"Don't raise your voice." Cai Xianqing looked around and said in a panic, "Yue Gong is a cautious person. The reason why he did not interfere with Wan Dang's actions was because he was not completely sure. If the prefect could give him an opportunity to intervene, then Yue Gong would definitely
Will participate.”
Ye Yongjia was originally in high spirits, but after hearing these words, he hesitated and felt troubled: "After all, I am a member of the King of Wanjun. It is too ostentatious to go out personally."
"Then Magistrate Ye will find someone to speak for you."
"Wei Chong?" Ye Yongjia blurted out and immediately shook his head: "It's difficult."
Cai Xianqing was calm, stroking his beard and smiling: "You have been spending less time with the prince. This Wei Chong is trying to get benefits from both sides. He is not a loyal person. Why don't you take advantage of his bad nature to do things? Of course.
, it’s not okay to tell him bluntly, give him a pole to climb up... Sir, do you know?"
Ye Yongjia was puzzled at first, but suddenly his eyes flashed with golden light: "I understand!"
Cai Xianqing sighed with relief - the plan was done.
"The matter is not over yet." He looked at Ye Yongjia who was about to leave, "Think about the way out."
Ye Yongjia turned back and patted his head: "Yes, if Wan Dang is well-informed and digs out my name, we will be in trouble."
"We can look for help from outside."
"who?"
"Yangzhou has the same knowledge, and Chen has the same robe."
Ye Yongjia was stunned for a while, he felt that the name was very familiar.
"There is a man named Guan Qi who came from Yangzhou. He said that Chen Tongzhi would like to meet you."
"That area of Jiangsu has been recently controlled by the Liu Party."
Cai Xianqing slapped her thigh: "Haha, isn't this force powerful enough?"
Ye Yongjia happily said yes.
Cai Xianqing seemed to have cleared away all the confusion in his heart, and bowed to Ye Yongjia three times happily: "I feel relieved if you can fully understand it! I sincerely wish the prefect an early success, and I will say goodbye."
He walked out of the tea shop with relaxed steps and blended into the bustling crowd. Ye Yongjia had already lost sight of him.
"What? I'll go immediately." Wei Chong was reviewing official documents in a small room. Hearing the news, he was really happy. He had never been summoned by Ye Yongjia during the whole long winter, and he secretly hated Wan Heshun, the old man.
The thing had to be assigned a task of monitoring the prefect, which made him feel left out. Finally, he looked forward to today, when he could truly "see the light of day again".
"Prefect Ye." After Wei Chong gently opened the door, he kept nodding and bowing to Ye Yongjia.
Ye Yongjia also became polite: "Wei Secretary's Office, I made a trip to the Prince's Palace today and am a little tired. This redundant booklet is especially for you to deliver to the Lu Palace and submit it to Yue Gong for reading."
"Sir, rest in peace, I will definitely be able to handle it." Wei Chong was about to receive the roster, squinting his eyes and smiling.
"By the way, someone from the king's side told me: 'If I ask you about taking over the academy, just say you don't know.' Do you understand?" Ye Yongjia refused to let go.
Wei Chong raised his eyebrows and twisted the wrinkles on his forehead; he first touched the tip of his nose, then held up the booklet: "Keep it in mind, little man."
He left the office and asked a horse-drawn carriage to take him straight to Yuefu. On the way, he often thought about taking over the academy, and even couldn't help but ask the groom: "I heard that the academy has been taken over?"
The groom pulled the bridle and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Wei is an upright man and a hero of Nanjing. Since he is willing to let the government take over the academy, it means that the princes of Wanjun are of the same mind as him!"
"You people, can you trust the government?"
"Trust it! Trust it! King Wanjun has always been very kind and doesn't put on airs. You can get along with such a person!"
"These stupid people..." Wei Chong jumped out of the car and muttered secretly with full of hatred and disdain.
Holding a thick stack of brochures in both hands, he entered through the main entrance, went to the courtyard first, and walked up a long corridor. He saw Qi Zi leading a few soldiers walking towards him, and a thick arm was put on his shoulder. He was frightened.
He trembled.
"Secretary Wei, how comfortable are you being a dog of Wan Dang?" he said teasingly, making the subordinates laugh, but Wei Chong blushed and did not dare to lose his temper.
