The emperor was indeed afraid of fighting again, but the victory was won only after heavy losses, and the Xiongnu had been training their elite soldiers for decades, just to take the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

If there is a war, the chances of winning the Great Zhou Kingdom are not great, so the only way is to do what Li Ye said, the emperor naturally wants to make the Great Zhou Kingdom stable for a few more decades.

"What Lord Shangshu said is extremely true, if there is a war, the people will be ruined, and only by changing the development of this case and leaving the Xiongnu aside at this time can we ensure peace."

"The emperor is wise, this Hun deliberately wants to go to war, if this plan fails, there will be other tricks, we must be vigilant as soon as possible, we can't give them a chance."

The emperor couldn't help but sigh that Li Ye was thoughtful, and his analysis of this national situation was even more straightforward, and he couldn't help laughing: "In the past, the Great Zhou Kingdom was deaf to the affairs of the country because the prince was a gentleman, and no one knew that you knew you better than anyone else. ”

These words seem to imply that Li Ye seems to care too much about the national situation, and he has to let the emperor be on guard, worried that he has always been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Li Ye replied calmly: "The emperor appreciates it, give me a heavy responsibility, I must swear to the death to serve the country and solve problems for the emperor, this is the duty of the minister, I can't let the emperor down and disgrace the palace." ”

No matter what Li Ye thinks in his heart, what the emperor knows is that this person is not simple, and he is indeed a material that can be made, as long as he can serve the Great Zhou Kingdom, as long as the emperor does not give him troops, this Li Ye will not be able to set off the storm.

So the emperor still controls everything in his own hands, and let him serve the country as a civil official, which is also a very good talent.

"Lord Shangshu is loyal, how can I not see it, this time the matter will be left to you to do, tomorrow the court will announce to you again At this time, I will naturally know how to cooperate with you, in short, I will not give the Huns a chance."

Li Ye also understood the old fox's thoughts, as long as he didn't give himself real power or troops, then everything was still under his control.

So what the emperor wants now is just a useful talent, and he happens to be able to be used by the emperor, so he won't hurt him for the time being, which Li Ye knows very well.

"Weichen received the order, so go back and sort out the case file."

"I will also give you a promotion according to the agreement at that time, but you must also continue to be in charge of the affairs of the six departments, and there must be no mistakes."

"If Weichen obeys the order, he will not disappoint the emperor."

Li Ye colluded with the emperor and the two of them to make some arguments, and only after everything was okay did Li Ye leave the imperial study and prepare to go back to sort out the case files.

It's just that when I was about to leave the gate of the palace, I happened to see the eighth prince Li Mao, who was standing under the scorching sun, and waved violently after seeing Li Ye, it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

Li Ye thought about it in his heart, he had just talked with the emperor for at least two hours, and when he saw that the eighth prince's cheeks were red and his forehead was full of beads of sweat, it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

"The Eighth Prince is deliberately waiting for Weichen, but this scorching sun is empty, why don't you find someone to summon you, you have to wait for me here."

The Eighth Emperor smiled and said: "You have rarely entered the palace these days, I am not worried that I will not be able to touch you, you also know that my father will not let me out of the palace, and most of the people in my palace are Chen Guifei's eyeliner, if I ask them to pass on the message, wouldn't she know, besides, standing under this scorching sun, I am also used to it." ”

These words are still a little sad, but you can imagine how miserable the situation of the eighth prince in the palace is, as long as there is a day when Chen Guifei's mother and son are in the palace, the other people in the palace will not be happy.

Especially people like the Eighth Prince, who have low ability and status and have no one to take care of them, are naturally the targets of bullying.

Li Ye hurriedly took him to a cool place, "I don't know why the Eighth Prince is in such a hurry to find me." ”

The Eighth Prince looked at it carefully left and right, and whispered into Li Ye's ear: "I got a piece of news about killing you, so I came to tell you." ”

There is too much news about Li Ye, and thanks to the heart of the eight princes, they are still willing to report to themselves under such suppression.

"Then I don't know what kind of news the Eighth Prince has gotten, and who wants to harm me."

"Last night, I couldn't sleep and walked in the Imperial Garden, I happened to pass by the Chaoming Palace, and I saw Chen Guifei and the Six Princes discussing something, I walked in and eavesdropped, and I heard that they bought a master of Dongying, saying that they were going to assassinate you tonight, so that you can't go to court tomorrow."

The eighth prince said extremely quietly, and his expression was also a little frightened, which showed that he was very afraid of this matter, no wonder he waited at the palace gate for so long, because he was afraid that he would miss the opportunity to meet Li Ye.

At the same time, he didn't dare to spread the letter about this matter, and he was relieved only when he told Li Ye in person.

Li Ye was deeply moved, "Thank you to the Eighth Prince for writing this matter, I will definitely be careful after I go back, and I will not let their tricks succeed." ”

"They are going to act tonight, so you must be prepared, if there is really no way to hide, then simply bring the princess to my palace as a guest, saying that they can't go back when they are drunk, they don't dare to do it in the palace."

These eight princes have already thought of a way out for Li Ye, as long as they are in the palace, this Chen Guifei's people really can't start.

Li Ye was grateful, and postponed: "If we are in your palace, this Chen Guifei will most likely suspect you, and will be more difficult for you in the future, your situation in the palace is already difficult, if we persecute you, it is definitely not what I think in my heart." ”

Li Ye was already very grateful for his report, how could it still affect him.

The eighth prince looked a little anxious: "But things have come to this point, so it doesn't matter if it's even involved, it's better to save your life first." ”

Li Ye soothed: "Eighth Prince, don't worry, I will strengthen my defense after I go back, and I will also have a way to deal with it, your reminder is very useful to me, at least I can think of a way to deal with them." ”

The eighth prince saw that he was resolute, and it was not good to keep pressing: "Since you already have an idea, then I won't say much, in short, you must be safe and sound and protect yourself." ”

"Don't worry, the eighth prince, I will definitely not have an accident, thank you again for your kindness, Li Ye will definitely not forget." Li Ye couldn't stay with the Eighth Prince for too long, there were many people in this palace, so he could only say goodbye and leave first.

Li Ye returned to the palace, Qi Ning had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time because of worry, and ran forward when he saw someone entering the door, Li Ye took her hand and made a look, Qi Ning understood that he was silent, and the two looked at each other and smiled and returned to the house and closed the door.
