atypical prostitute

Chapter 262
"In the main hall today, that woman's complexion is really comparable to that of a magician!"

The breeze was blowing slowly, the water was calm, leaning on a railing near the water, King Wei Xiaoyao held the title, while Ye Chuan sitting opposite him was just a taste of it.

"Those old foxes sent by the emperor are trying their best to crown you king and let us fight with each other, but they didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so dishonorable!"

"This... how do they know that I have a fateful friendship with the prince, how can we separate with just a letter of the king's edict?"

Ye Chuan spoke slowly. His urgent return completely disrupted the Queen Mother's revenge against the Ye family. According to this woman's temperament, she was bound to be punished for the serious crime of returning without calling, but the imperial faction had already decided to support her. Ye Chuan's plan to resist the king of Wei, how could it cause her to get sidetracked?Therefore, Pei Ling'er's sentence of punishment had just begun, and was mercilessly interrupted by Zhao Wangzhao and Yue Wangsheng, who advocated Ye Chuan's crown as king.

Being ignored by the emperor faction, or even treated as a burden, Pei Linger's anger can be imagined.Therefore, when today's court discussed the Ye family's different surnames as kings, although there were three kings to protect them and twelve local governors to jointly name them, it was Wei Wang's faction who insisted on refusing to do so, and the Empress Dowager Pei was vague. Only at noon did they leave in a huff.

However, General Ye and the regent Wei Wang, who were still fighting with each other in the court hall, were sitting in the Xianyu Pavilion and drinking in harmony in a blink of an eye.

Because they are allies, at least, they are all allies until the success of the kingship.

Ever since the great victory in Gaochang and the calls for being kings with different surnames in the court, Ye Chuan has been paying close attention to every move in the capital. He knows that Pei Linger hates his husband and wife to the bone. The Ye family holds great power.

And the news that the cousin of the Liu family was dismissed because he favored his concubine and killed his wife confirmed his speculation.

Whether it is Pei Ling'er or the members of the emperor's faction, it is an expedient measure to give different surnames the title of king. After driving away the wolves and tigers, the Ye family cannot escape the fate of killing donkeys!

After figuring this out, he resolutely chose King Wei.

Now that he is an envoy of the Liangzhou Jiedu, he already has the qualifications to play in the overall situation of the country, why should he be someone else's pawn!
At least, Pei Linger is not worthy!No one from the emperor faction is worthy!

Originally, for the face of the first emperor, he would be loyal to the young emperor, at least maintain a stalemate with the king of Wei, and guard the country for the young emperor.However, the Empress Dowager is too narrow-minded and acts too arrogantly. She obviously wants something from him but never forgets to hurt his relatives and friends first!

She really thinks that she is the late emperor, what the late emperor can do, she can also do? !

"Of course, according to the ancestral motto of 'the king doesn't see the king', after you succeed in becoming the king, you and I should be careful not to be involved in the meeting today."

Ye Chuan pretended to be humorous and added, but King Wei's expression changed instantly, but he turned into a smile immediately after being well-preserved, and said: "I was worried that you would draw a line with me because of the imminent seal of the king. Come on, let us become closer."

"It's really the empress dowager's perverse behavior, I can't help being angry!"

Ye Chuan said lightly, the empress dowager's suppression of the Bai family and Liu family was brutal and simple, King Wei was fully capable of stopping it, but he deliberately let the unjust prison go!It was clearly to make the Ye family and the Pei family form a deadly feud!
If it is said that Pei Ling'er is going against the grain, why isn't Wei Wang insane?
It's a pity that King Wei still underestimated the strength and awareness of the Ye family, and in just three days, he rushed to help and prevented all the misfortunes before they happened!
Sensing that Ye Chuan seemed unhappy, King Wei explained with a smile again: "The matter of Wu Dehou... If I intervene, maybe I can come back, but in this way, it may expose the friendship between you and me, and affect Brother Ye's life." Big plan to seal the king...Brother Ye won't blame me for not saving him, will he?"

He explained with a smile on his face, and Ye Chuan also answered hypocritically.

"Why doesn't Ye know that the lord's forbearance is for the sake of the overall situation? If the lord didn't send the letter in time, I'm afraid today's court would have been blood-splattered for five steps!"

"Yes, the sad thing is that neither the Queen Mother nor the Emperor faction can see my efforts. They fear me and hate me, always doubt me and disobedient... Worrying that I will become Wang Mang!"

Speaking of this, Wei Wang's face was sad.

The private affairs of the Prince Regent and the Empress Dowager had long been an open secret in the capital, but Ye Chuan was a little surprised that King Wei was so open and honest.

"According to the last emperor's will, assist the young emperor and empress dowager, work conscientiously, and dare not hold grudges."

After finishing the scene, Wei Wang let out a long sigh, and said with a wry smile, "The one who should really sit on the throne... is me...Back then, the emperor had no intention of leaving the throne to His Majesty at all! I burned the real will to assist their mother and son Ascending to the throne, I handed over the country, but... was suspected by their mother and son of disobedience!"

"My lord, did you regret your original decision?"

"It would be a lie to say that I have no regrets. If it wasn't for worrying that I would not be able to convince the public, and that I would not be able to take on the important responsibilities of the country... I would never hand over the throne to their mother and son! But now... I can't not regret it! Even Yin'er In the future, he will become a master, but his mother is—"

Speaking of this, King Wei sighed again, put down the wine bar, with a sad expression.

"Even if it is for the sake of the future, we must ask the queen mother to stop meddling in government affairs!"

Speaking resolutely, King Wei grabbed a handful of fish food, broke it open carefully, and fed it to the koi in the pond.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, he was waiting for Ye Chuan to express his opinion, he knew that Ye Chuan would definitely agree with this suggestion.

Sure enough, after a short period of hesitation, Ye Chuan also grabbed a handful of fish food from the white porcelain vat after the rain, walked up to King Wei, stood beside him, and casually fed, saying slowly: "Yin and Yang are upside down, female Ji Sichen is a harbinger of chaos. But she is the Empress Dowager after all, so it may be difficult for her not to interfere in the government affairs."

"So I need Brother Ye's help."

King Wei said without hesitation, "The empress dowager is unscrupulous, relying on nothing but the young emperor. This time, the emperor sent Ye brother to be the king, so as to suppress my power! It is foolish for the empress dowager to persecute brother Ye's relatives and friends at this critical moment." Veterans who are loyal to the orthodox royal family have also criticized her quite a bit. Therefore, this king thinks that if we work together, we may really be able to force the Queen Mother to return to the palace!"

"Appreciate further details."

Ye Chuan stopped feeding the fish and listened carefully to King Wei explaining his plan.

King Wei smiled slyly, and said: "It's just that I will wrong Brother Ye a bit."

"how do I say this?"

"King Liang's palace is extremely deep, and he is an elder. We can't touch him. But Zhao Wangzhao and Yue Wangsheng are not inseparable. They have long had resentment towards the Queen Mother, and have clashed with Pei Linger more than once."

"With Pei Linger's temper, there are very few people who don't resent her." Ye Chuan said in agreement.

Wei Wang nodded and said: "So I simply followed their wishes and made a big fuss, advocated the ancestral system, and resolutely opposed the title of king with different surnames. And the more I opposed it, the faster the people sent by the emperor would speed up the appointment of the king. !"

Having said that, King Wei glanced at Ye Chuan, who showed a tacit smile.

"Pei Linger's recent overactivity has already annoyed the Emperor's faction. If she jumps up and down again, she will completely anger the Emperor's faction! At that time, without us doing anything, they will let this empress dowager, who has achieved more than nothing, return to the deep palace as soon as possible Take care of your life!"

King Wei said viciously, although he and Pei Ling'er had skin-to-skin relationship, but which beauty can make a man more fascinated than the world?
He is a rational and greedy man. Between the country and the beauty, he chooses to embrace the country first and then the beauty.

"Of course, just doing this may not make her completely secure! As long as Your Majesty remains His Majesty, Pei Linger's retreat to the deep palace is also temporary."

The additional sentence exposed the ambition of King Wei.

Ye Chuan, who had known for a long time that King Wei would not be able to satisfy the status of regent, lost no time in probing: "The enmity between the Ye family and the Pei family is ultimately the empress dowager's disapproval. If she can let my Ye family go, how can I?" Dare to do things to the extreme? But she persisted and even intensified, forcing our husband and wife to have other thoughts. She is the empress dowager, even if she is forced back to the deep palace and never asks about political affairs, she is still the empress dowager. Your Majesty After all, he will grow up to be an adult, and he... all goodness and filial piety are the first!"

The seemingly inadvertent sigh ignited King Wei's dying ambition again.

"Indeed, all goodness and filial piety come first. Your Majesty may be broad-minded, but the Queen Mother is..."

He murmured and repeated that this time he teamed up with the Ye family to force Pei Ling'er to hand over power, no matter whether he succeeds or not, he will severely offend this narrow-minded woman!

Is it—

instead?
King Wei was sober, he knew that he did not have that prestige.

He is already the regent, and he is only one step away from the big position, so he can't fall short at the last moment.

These delicate changes of King Wei did not escape Ye Chuan's attention, he smiled and deliberately changed the topic.

"I heard that the Empress Dowager favors the Celestial Master more and more, and she has no taboos about entering and leaving the palace. Although the Celestial Master is a cultivator and not stained with the world of mortals, he is a man after all. Such behavior will inevitably damage the dignity of the royal family."

"...General...be cautious..."

King Wei said bluntly, Ye Chuan knew that his heart was full of turmoil, but he took it easy, provocatively said: "Recently there have been strange things related to the celestial master in the capital, I wonder if King Wei has heard of it?"

"What's weird?"

Ever since Pei Ling'er was entangled with himself, and at the same time, he had been entangled with Chu Qing, Wei Wang had drawn a clear line with Chu Qing. He knew that Chu Qing had a big background, so he could only stay away from him. What kind of moth, he doesn't mind adding insult to injury.

"A child living near the Tianshi Mansion dreamed for half a month that the Tianshi Mansion was surrounded by purple flames, and there were countless ghosts screaming in the fire. When the watchmen passed by the Tianshi Mansion in the middle of the night, they would hear very scary sounds. Terrible, like someone who died unjustly crying in his head."

Ye Chuan said jokingly, King Wei laughed.

"Folk rumors are often distorted, not enough to be believed."

"However, you must not be careless about ghosts and gods! What's more, even I, who is far away in Liangzhou, have heard of this rumor, and I don't know what the capital looks like! Those ignorant and stupid women have even suspected that the celestial master is possessed by demons! "

Ye Chuan said earnestly, ever since his wife was assassinated and left her soul, his hatred for Tianshi Mansion can be said to be deeply rooted.And King Wei also knew that Chu Qing had failed to assassinate the Ye family twice, and the enmity between them would have to be resolved sooner or later.

Since he had broken up with Chu Qing a long time ago, he was also happy to send this troublesome guy to the Ye family.

Sui said: "Brother Ye said this, but I suddenly realized it. Yes, there are indeed some unbearable rumors in the capital recently. For example, the 27 massacres are all related to the Celestial Master... It must be groundless, and it may not be without reason."

This clearly means strict enforcement.

So Ye Chuan smiled, and he raised his head gently and murderously restrained, and said, "But I don't know what your Highness Zhao Wang and Yue Wang think about the strange things in Tianshi Mansion?"
