Chapter 211

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Brother, you reached the peak too early, but it may not be a good thing. Your Majesty... is young now, but he will grow up one day. He... is Emperor Wu after all. direct bloodline!"

Ye Chuan fell silent.

During Xiao Zhiqian's administration, although his methods were peaceful, he was never soft when it was time to use thunder.Under his command, Ye Chuan killed 20 important ministers and their followers in just five days, and 57 other families were exiled.The bloodshed was so bloody that even Ye Chuan, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, couldn't help worrying that the excessive killing might lead to temporary chaos in political affairs, but Xiao Zhiqian issued decrees with confidence and filled all the vacant positions with suitable candidates. They restrained each other and made proper arrangements for unresolved positions. The five-day coup swept away the stale atmosphere, and the entire court took on a new look.

Will the young emperor who inherited Xiao Zhiqian's bloodline have the same courage in time?
Don't know, but there is such a possibility.

Realizing that Ye Chuan was moved, Ye Nan went further and said, "Whether it is as a subject, as an elder brother, or as Lihua's father, I hope you will listen to my advice and give up your position as the Great General Sima for now. Retire bravely in the rapids, don't do what Wanfu points out."

"For Lihua? Empress Dowager Pei wants her to become a queen, isn't it because of my position as the Great General Sima?"

Ye Chuan said sarcastically that the marriage between the young emperor and Ye Lihua was facilitated by Pei Hou and Yi Chunhou behind his back. Ye Nan, as a person with vested interests, wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Ye Nan had fine beads of sweat on his forehead: "It is true that I am not responsible for this matter, but... my brother also needs to know that one person alone is not as good as the rain and dew. Now that the will has just been issued, my brother is not qualified for the job. Because of this reason, the position of Great General Sima was pushed away. The king of Wei must be secretly happy but he did not dare to disobey the emperor's intentions, and appointed another Great General Sima. In this way, Adi is not in his position but occupies the position of Great General Da Sima But the king of Wei, in order to show his magnanimity, will definitely benefit the Ye family. At that time, everyone in the Ye family will occupy important positions, divide the place, and fight all over the world. Wouldn't it be better than my younger brother alone? Is it even more glorious to be in a high position and attract thousands of people's attention?"

"This--"

Ye Chuan was indeed a little moved.Although he knew that Ye Nan's series of actions, the real purpose was to find a balance between the Ye family and the imperial power.It also implied resentment towards Ye Chuan's powerful family who did not show favor to his relatives.

"But...it's not easy to retreat bravely! I'm afraid—"

"I would like to accompany Brother to enter the palace to face the Queen Mother, and we will share good and bad together!"

Ye Nan said anxiously, he managed to loosen Ye Chuan, how could he let the opportunity slip away.

Originally, he came to Beijing this time to send his daughter into the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

"Then it's Brother Lao. It's just a matter of retreating bravely. I need to think twice."

"It's natural."

Seeing that the important matter was over, Ye Nan felt much more relaxed. Seeing the sky getting dark, Ye Chuan felt melancholy again, so he simply got up, waited for the nanny to hug Lihua, who was deeply asleep, into the carriage, and said goodbye.But as soon as he left, Li Ci turned around, walked up to Ye Chuan, and said sinisterly, "Uncle is really sincere."

"He is too selfish, always thinking about both loyalty and filial piety. In his opinion, it is a big mistake to embark on the road of a powerful minister, and he can't make the monarch jealous with his high achievements."

Ye Chuan commented coldly that Ye Nan was quite talented and learned, but he was too much for fame and reputation, so he really didn't like him.

"But what he said is not without merit. You have occupied the position of Great General Sima at a young age. Doesn't it mean that there is no possibility of promotion in the future except for that position?"

Li Ci comforted him gently, reaching out to smooth his frowning brows.

"What's more, the Empress Dowager is narrow-minded, and she took the young emperor to sit on the throne, and she can't tolerate the Ye family."

While talking, he handed the paper scroll that Bai Yinmei got to Ye Chuan, Ye Chuan quickly read it, and threw the paper into the incense burner.

"With such a heart, nothing big can happen."

"But it's just chaos, but it's more than enough."

Li Ci added, she looked at Ye Chuan softly, this man's political wisdom and stupidity, keeping a low profile, always surprises her.

"Then accept the exhortation for the time being, and take a step back."

Ye Chuan said with a smile, and hugged his wife in his arms.

"Mr. Lian was born extraordinary, and has already attracted the attention of those who are interested. If I insist on not being able to stand up and become an extremely human minister, I am afraid that Mr. Lian will... the capital has always been troubled, and you and your children... are compared to the status of the Great General Sima. , I am even more unwilling to lose you and the child. It is just a waste of His Majesty's painstaking efforts..."

A little helpless, but it is also true.

The political turmoil of these years has been forced to get involved every time.They had enough courage to face the storms in the past, but this time, they did not dare to take risks.

Ye Yun is so small and so fragile, as long as she exerts a little force with her fingers, or covers his small face with a coarse cloth, it is possible for him to leave without a sound.

Even for the sake of their children, they have to choose to regress.

"...Perhaps His Majesty already knew that you would make such a choice?"

Li Ci raised her head, stroking the man's stubble with her soft fingers.

"I have heard what you said just now. If the positions of the Great General Sima are exchanged, most of the Ye family can be enshrined as marquises and occupy important positions. In this way, they are advancing by retreating, and the position of the Ye family will be strengthened on the contrary. .”

"But I don't want to give all the benefits of this day to the Ye family."

Ye Chuan held his wife's soft hand with his backhand, and said: "Sanlang is still a junior official from the sixth rank, so why not take this opportunity to let him enter the military department, the fifth rank chief, with the care of his father-in-law's old friend, there will be no wind and waves .”

"This... promoted too quickly."

"I gave up the position of Great General Sima. Wouldn't it be a big loss if I didn't exchange for more good things?"

Ye Chuan said pretending to be annoyed, and this bandit-like speech provoked Li Ci's fists: "If uncle sees your rascal right now, what will he think?"

"What he thinks has nothing to do with me. I am not the one who agreed to Marquis Pei's marriage request. Since you have chosen to be a relative of a powerful minister, don't try to stay out of it! Although the young emperor is young, he is also in the blood of His Majesty. If he is not careful, Han Xiao Queen Huizhang is a lesson for Lihua."

Ye Chuan said angrily, entered into a marriage contract behind his back, and threatened him with long-term plans for his children and grandchildren, which made Ye Chuan feel a lot of dissatisfaction with Ye Nan.

"Forget it, it's better than entering into a marriage contract with our Lord Lian. Lord Lian was born extraordinary and is destined to be a fairy. Even the royal daughter may not be worthy."

Li Ci calmed down, Ye Chuan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Fortunately, Mrs. Lian is not a woman, and they only have one prince... What a fluke! Lihua... Hmph, even if they become virgin queens, it's their own fault!"
