"Although Mrs. Zhongying has passed away, the marriage between His Highness and Madam Ye only lasts for ten days. I'm afraid there is no way to push it back. I can only feel sorry for Uncle Zhongying and do it later, right?"

Eunuch Li could see what Emperor Liang was thinking, but if he was so ruthless, he, as an emperor, would not be able to speak.

He is His Majesty's eyes and His Majesty's mouth. Such words that go against common sense and rules should be spoken by a servant like him.

Yu Wenchun nodded immediately, "Yes, Uncle Zhongying can't be blamed for this. It is really an unexpected incident."

Yuwen Yan saw that Emperor Liang did not express his position, "I don't think so. Since Mrs. Zhongying passed away and the Ye family was mourned, Erchen's wedding will be postponed for one year as usual. Since it is postponed, I will take 300,000 taels to support my second brother." Mine veins were dug, and the people and troops were stationed to prevent the enemy from invading."

He refused to take out the money confiscated from the homes of Sun Daxiu and his family, and he was planning to take it away directly?

Shangshu Hube immediately jumped, "How is this possible?!"

"Your Majesty, stationing troops and people is a big move. A mere 300,000 taels is not enough. Moreover, the repair of river embankments requires cloth and silver, the granary and the construction of bridges all need money!"

"The Ministry of Industry has already owed repair money to various places that have not been settled. The door of my home is about to be broken into pieces by people from various prefects!"

"The weapons of the Ministry of War are all rusty. Not to mention fighting, even killing a chicken can't wipe the neck. The safety of the beam is not the first priority? I also need money!"

"There will be imperial examinations next year to promote new talents, and the Ministry of Rites also needs silver. After all, this is the front of Daliang."

...Several ministers asked for money one after another, nagging again and again.

Emperor Liang felt a buzzing in his ears, as if countless bees were flying.

"okay!"

He suddenly became so angry that he slammed the table!

"Don't I need money? I have already warned the palace to reduce expenses!"

Emperor Liang blew his beard and stared, losing his good expression.

All the adults also shut up and stepped back, staring at Yuwen Yan.

Emperor Liang was really helpless, "I decree that the marriage will continue as usual. Even if I go to the mines to station soldiers and people, you will not be needed. Are all my sons useless?"

"Get married in Beijing in a down-to-earth manner!"

"Of the three hundred thousand taels, I will allocate 200,000 to the household department to check for leaks and make up for the vacancies. I will use the other one hundred thousand taels for my own use."

When Emperor Liang spoke like this, he shifted the focus of the conflict to the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.

Yu Wenyan could only obey the order, "My son, I obey the order, but you must take away the title of my father-in-law."

Emperor Liang really couldn't understand why he refused to let Ye Mingyuan occupy that official position?

"After all, it involves the ancestors of the Ye family..."

"It's a pity that our children and grandchildren don't live up to expectations."

Yu Wenyan left no room for doubt and made it clear that he would not give him any money unless he took the title. Emperor Liang had no choice but to order Eunuch Li to issue a reprimand.

"What kind of trick is the fourth child playing? Wanting a father-in-law without a title?"

"Then Ye Mingyuan really doesn't have much ability. It doesn't matter whether he has this title or not."

"How can it be the same? A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. At least it has a butt curtain to hide its shame."

"???"

There is no way to refute this, but the ministers have no intention of thinking about Ye Mingyuan. They immediately followed the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and went to the wormwood shop to ask for money.

Yu Wenyan left the palace and went straight to the Ye family. At this time, Eunuch Li had already announced His Majesty's decree. From today on, the Ye family's title of Earl of Zhongying was taken back. The specific reason was not stated.

Ye Mingyuan was devastated after taking the decree, as if he was holding his own life in his hands, and just sat on the chair blankly.

Ye Qingyou thought about it carefully and was not surprised by this penalty. On the contrary, when Ye Jingzhi found out, she burst into tears again.

Before Ye Qingyou could say a word of comfort, Chen De immediately announced: "The Fourth Highness is here." Ye Jingzhi's crying stopped suddenly and he hiccupped for a long time.

Before Ye Qingyou could go out to greet him, Yu Wenyan had already walked in from outside.

"The wedding will proceed as usual, and the preparations will remain the same." He looked at Ye Mingyuan and sized him up, "It's just that Uncle Ye can no longer wear the earl's clothes. Let someone prepare new ones as soon as possible."

The wrinkles at the corners of Ye Mingyuan's eyes were also mixed with moisture. Although he said "good" three times in a row, after all, he was deprived of his title in his generation, and the bitter taste in his heart was really unbearable.

"Father has nothing to be sad about. It's better to just receive a title than to receive a head."

This decision to seize the title was made immediately, and it was obviously Yu Wenyan's deliberate decision.

It won't help if someone goes back to the old score later. His Majesty has already given the order to seize the title. Is it possible that he still wants to pursue and chop off two more heads? On the contrary, it will disgust His Majesty.

Ye Mingyuan naturally knew this truth, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you very much!"

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuori

Ye Qingyou: "???Can you be more careful?"

"What's the point of inheriting the title? It's better to fight for it yourself." Yu Wenyan looked at Ye Jingzhi, "When your filial piety period expires in one year, I will give you a chance."

Ye Jingzhi: "Forget it, the opportunity is good, I have to live to survive, right? I'd better be an idle young master in the capital...otherwise, I can help You'er manage the shop?"

He is really good at eating, drinking and having fun, and he really knows how to taste delicious food from all over the world.

Ye Qingyou glanced at him, "One year of mourning requires a vegetarian diet. You should study vegetarianism first."

Ye Jingzhi sighed, but didn't say no.

Ye Qingyou was not in the mood to talk about what was going to happen in the future, so she asked him to accompany her father to rest first. She and Yu Wenyan left the study and slowly returned to the courtyard.

"What price did His Highness pay for this? It's really hard on you." Ye Qingyou held Yu Wenyan's little hand and showed her rare coquettishness.

Yu Wenyan walked slowly, "How can I repay this king?"

Ye Qingyou smiled and glanced at Chuntang who was following behind, "There are so many people..."

"It's not the first time, you're actually shy?" Yu Wenyan looked at her red ears, and his heart was filled with desire.

If it weren't for the wedding that was still ten days away, Aunt Hua wouldn't allow him to come often. He wished he could hold Ye Qingyou to sleep every day.

Ye Qingyou poked him quietly, raised her hand to call him to lower his head, "Actually, I also miss His Highness very much..."

With her soft call, the string in Yu Wenyan's heart completely broke!

He couldn't hold it any longer and hugged Ye Qingyou directly.

Ye Qingyou held his neck and hid it, not daring to look up at all.

"Your Highness, you are really..." Aunt Hua was originally at the back. When she saw this scene, she was so frightened that she called out quickly.

Grandma Chang stopped her quickly, "Sometimes it's better to turn a blind eye."

Aunt Hua was helpless, "I only have time to be the tutor." She could restrain Ye Qingyou's words and deeds, but she could not win over the two people's indulgent hearts.

Grandma Chang said, "I'm afraid the person you're teaching is not quite right..."

Naturally, Grandma Hua didn't think about it carefully and hurriedly followed.

I just followed him and didn't see anything I shouldn't have seen.

Because someone who shouldn't have appeared in Ye Qingyou's house.
