Jiaochu

"Brother Yan?" Seeing Yan Fei frowning slightly, Ye Lingxi called him.Only then did Yan Fei realize that his brows seemed to be furrowed. The next moment he relaxed them and asked Ye Lingxi what was wrong with his eyes. He saw those big clear and smart eyes curling up into a smile, adding a few words to his face. A suspiciously thin red, just as colorful fireworks bloomed in the night sky, a bright red firework shone over, turning the whole face red.

"Lingxi, let me call the eldest brother over." Ye Xingye ran over excitedly, and after a while, he pulled the person over.Ye Qingran's face looked a little unnatural, like a "strong man" who was forcibly captured~
Ye Xingye handed the last firework stick to Ye Qingran, lit it and said, "Brother, please make a wish."

"Brother, make a wish like this," Ye Lingxi clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and recited the wish silently, "No need to say it out loud."

Under the eager gaze of two pairs of eyes, Ye Qingran clasped her hands together, perhaps making a wish for the first time. Her movements were a little unnatural, and her expression was a little unnatural. Ye Xingye lit the firework stick and asked the other party to make a wish quickly. Under the shining little fireworks In the middle of the night, Ye Qingran closed her eyes. After a few seconds of silence, she opened her eyes. The shining small fireworks were just about to burn to the end. After less than a second, the fireworks were completely extinguished.

"Then let me make a wish too." Hu Yuhan waited for a firework to bloom, then clasped her hands together and closed her eyes to make a wish. After opening her eyes, she said to Ye Lingjue, "Your Highness, let me make a wish too. Maybe you will have good luck." ." At this point, he brought the topic back to the unfinished gossip, "Does His Highness know any confidante in Yangzhou? Even if he is not a confidante, are there any confidante?"

Zhao Ce listened with his ears perked up.

As a result, he was intercepted by Mr. De again this time.

"The three highnesses are here. Go with the servant to see the emperor." Eunuch De said with a happy face. He saw Ye Lingxi again, greeted him diligently, and then led Ye Qingran, Ye Lingjue, Ye Xingye and the others away.

Ye Lingxi looked over there, a little curious about what would happen.

"Is the Emperor planning to marry the three His Highnesses?" Hu Yuhan guessed with excitement on her face and "It's not too big a deal to just watch the excitement."

Nine times out of ten, no, Ye Ling Xixin said.

Here, after Eunuch De led the three of them over, Murongze bowed to the three and saluted, while Ye Qingran showed a little indifference.

Ye Lanchen gestured, and Murong Ze said, "I received a letter from my father a few days ago. There have been recent movements among the barbarians in the north. The tribe headed by the Yue clan has recently been practicing cavalry. A spy has received news that the Yue clan has established a new army. The king is in urgent need of military exploits to consolidate his royal power."

After Murong Ze finished speaking, Ye Lanchen asked the three of them what they thought.

Ye Xingye didn't know much about the Yue clan, and he didn't quite understand why fighting was necessary to establish a new king. Besides, what does this have to do with consolidating the king's power?
Ye Qingran made no suggestion. Ye Lanchen turned his attention to Ye Lingjue and said, "I have a few questions to ask the crown prince." Ye Lanchen nodded, and asked, "I don't know about this new prince." What is the relationship between the king and the previous king?" Murong Ze replied, "The two are father and son. However, the new king's mother was the queen of two previous kings. There is also something to discuss about the new king's life experience." At this point, he paused playfully, allowing the listeners to use their imagination, and then continued, "I heard that the new king has a violent temper and is very warlike. If such a person secures the throne, the north may fall into another trap. In the flames of war.”

Ye Lingjue thought for a moment and asked his second question, "Is there anyone in the royal family who opposes the new king?"

Murong Ze replied: "My father hasn't mentioned it in the letter yet. I will edit a letter when I get back. If I hurry up, it can be delivered within five days. Does your Highness have any other questions?"

Ye Lingjue said: "If the other party really wants to declare war, will they take any action in the near future?"

Murong Ze said: "My father also mentioned this in the letter. According to the news reported by the spies, the size of the cavalry in recent drills has doubled. It is estimated that the other side will declare war in less than a month. My father decided to stay this time. In the north, let the eldest sister come to Beijing to have an audience."

Ye Lingjue thought again and said, "If you want to take something, you must give it to me first." "Your Highness, do you mean to let my father come to Beijing?" Murong Ze said.

"If the other party is eager to make meritorious deeds, they will definitely launch an attack while the prince is away." Ye Lingjue said.

"If my father is not here, and my eldest sister is alone, I'm afraid..." Murong Ze did not continue.

Ye Lingjue said: "Soldiers never tire of deceit, as long as the other side thinks that the prince has left the northern border." He then cupped his hands and said, "In my humble opinion, everything is still decided by the emperor."

Ye Xingye felt both admiration and emotion when he heard this. He lamented why he didn't have as good a mind as his second brother. The first thing he thought of was "If you beat me, I'll be afraid of you." The next thing that came to his mind was "What's the name of the new king? How old is he? Is he married?" Such questions.

When Ye Lanchen looked over, Ye Xingye said sincerely: "Father, I think what the second brother said makes sense."

If Ye Lingxi heard this, he would probably want to butt his head against it again.

After that, Ye Lanchen asked the three of them to retreat, leaving Murong Ze to talk alone for a while, and then Murong Ze also resigned.

Ye Lingxi watched the three people leave first, and after a while Murong Ze also left. She thought that there was probably something going on in the north. If it was something good, it would be okay for her to go and hear about it. Besides, there was only one Zhenbei King. My daughter, I heard that she is married. This good thing is definitely not a matter of marriage. If it is a bad thing, it is probably related to the war. Although her father has been very open-minded to her and allowed her to study in the study room and practice training. She is allowed to learn sword riding and arrow riding, but she is a princess after all and cannot participate in important government affairs like a prince. She pays attention to it and does not point fingers. She can be a child at a young age, but if she is allowed to Her father suspected that she had been instigated by someone, and the consequences were probably something she could not afford.

Heavenly power is unpredictable.

The emperor's home is different from the ordinary people's home. There is a threshold between the family relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

Maybe the king himself hopes to be like ordinary people, with children and grandchildren around his knees and enjoy family happiness, but from the moment he wears the yellow robe, he reaches the pinnacle of power. Once he reaches that position, the king and his ministers become objective facts. There is a clear line, and grace may make that line very small, but it will never disappear.

Because there can only be one emperor.

……

After the New Year's Eve banquet, a young eunuch quietly waited beside the Wei Mansion's carriage.

When Wei Qing came over, the little eunuch handed something to him.

Seeing this thing, his face was a little surprised at first and then a little complicated, as if he had noticed something.
