"That's it." I decided to accept my fate, "Lord Ye, you can go back first tomorrow, and in another day, I will leave for Beijing immediately." ”

Ye Juezhi didn't seem to agree with my approach, he hesitated again and again, but still confessed to me, "My lord, Xiaguan is hurrying up this time, rushing to chase you day and night, you should understand Xiaguan's difficulties, tomorrow...... I would like to ask you to return to Beijing with your subordinates. ”

I clenched the fist in my sleeve for a moment, my face froze, and the next moment I was still calm and calm.

"Is this what the emperor meant?" I took a light sip of tea and looked up at him.

"It's not." Ye Juezhi didn't abuse the emperor's name to pressure me, "It's because the lower officials don't want the adults to take a wrong step, and they will be criticized by the Pei Party, and there will be branches." ”

I put down the teacup and paced back and forth in the chamber with my hands in my hands, and finally my heart was ruthless, but I still insisted on my original idea: "This is a decision, you don't need to say more." ”

I have promised Du Rong that I will spend the New Year with him this time, although I can't fulfill this promise now, I have to explain the reason to him in person, so as not to make me a little shorter in front of him in the future.

Also, I haven't seen Master and Master for so long, and now that I've arrived at the doorstep, how can I go back to Beijing like this?

As for what the emperor's order is, what Pei Dang, it's a big deal to wait for me to return to Beijing and make more efforts to deal with it.

"My lord......" Ye Juezhi wanted to persuade again, but I raised my hand to block it, and he had no choice but to exit the door.

"Looks like I'm going to slip away right away." I muttered, sat down by the window, and waited for the night.

Although I don't know Ye Juezhi's ability, but he has been able to stabilize the Central Sect for so long, from the first emperor to the current saint, even Pei Lu didn't dare to beat his idea, and the means behind him must not be underestimated.

Now that he has found him, and wants to get rid of him, then I can only use some tricks to get away with it first, and I hope he will not hate me for this in the future.

The shadow of the mountain was hazy, the moon was hanging in the middle of the sky, everything was silent, there was no light, I estimated that the hour was almost up, so I turned over from the window on the second floor and jumped down gently, taking advantage of the silence of the night to quietly find out of the inn, all the way to the mountain road behind the inn.

The groom had already received an order to wait for me by the side of the road, and when he saw me coming from afar, he quickly lifted the curtain to let me in, and then raised his horsewhip and drove the carriage in the direction of Qizhou.

Originally, everything went smoothly, and the mountain road was almost halfway through, but I don't know if God was deliberately trying to trick me, and the road ahead was blocked by several collapsed giant trees, and it was impossible to pass at all.

"Childe, what should I do? Do you want to take a detour? The groom asked me.

I furrowed my eyebrows and didn't speak.

At that moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves whipping behind us, and then we saw a group of officers and soldiers surrounding me and the grooms.

The dark moonlight reflected the dust that flew up, and Ye Juezhi's figure gradually appeared under this moon dust.

"Meet the Prime Minister." All the officers and men dismounted, and knelt down beside me in unison.

"Lord Ye, what do you mean by this?" I had a smile on my face, but my eyes froze for a moment.

Ye Juezhi saw that I was about to have a seizure, so he immediately got off the horse and saluted me.

"Lord Shen Xiang, after the third watch, you don't rest in the inn but walk here at night, but why?" There seemed to be urgency in Ye Juezhi's eyes, but because of my identity, he couldn't say anything.

"What do you want to do, do you have to report to the adults?" I lowered my voice and waved my sleeves, "Remove all the people you brought to the prime minister, otherwise Hugh will blame the prime minister, you're welcome!" ”

"Your Excellency is angry." Ye Juezhi turned sideways and waved away the soldiers surrounding me, and raised his hand to point to the fallen trees in front of him, "It's not that the lower official won't let you pass, but that heaven will do this, just like the adult asked Miss Lan to give the lower official a drug meal, but the lower official can still come to persuade the adult." ”

Ye Juezhi said in front of so many people that I drugged him, obviously he didn't want to cover me up, and wanted to threaten me with this, if I really went back with him so obediently today, how could he still have the face to stand in front of him on the Jinluan Palace?

"It is said that Lord Ye is a clear stream of high wind and bright festival in the court, and even the emperor looks at you differently." I got out of the carriage and stopped in front of Ye Juezhi in a few random steps, "I also admire you so much, I often use you as a teacher to learn from you." ”

Ye Juezhi didn't understand my intention of suddenly praising him so much, but there must be a demon when things go wrong, and he didn't dare to take it lightly no matter what.

"The subordinate is despicable, and he is ashamed to be ashamed." Ye Juezhi took a step back and bowed to me.

"Since I take you as my teacher, I don't know how such villain behavior is made?" I looked at his small movements, and there was still a faint smile on my face, "Could it be that Lord Ye is also inferior to the outside, and the emperor favors and trusts him in vain?" ”

His mouth was dumb, Ye Juezhi was almost speechless, but the wind and rain of officialdom for more than ten years still made him calm down quickly, he didn't argue with me anything, just took out a green jade from his sleeve and handed it to me.

"Your Highness said that your lord must be able to understand what he means, this huge Qin country is still the world of the Cen family after all."

My face turned pale, and I stared at the green jade in my hand, and finally had no choice but to compromise. fresh

Returning to the carriage without saying a word, I knocked on the wall, and the groom knew what I meant, turned around, and led me back to the inn.

Although the situation was settled, Ye Juezhi still didn't dare to relax, he followed me closely, and he didn't stop until I walked into his room.

"Lord Ye, come in and sit." When I saw that he was leaving, I immediately stopped him.

"Is there anything else going on, my lord?" Ye Juezhi didn't say that he had offended me, so he trembled, scared, and walked in very calmly.

I held out my hand to sit him down, and he sat down as he was told.

"The villagers of Posa Village, has the emperor allowed to temporarily lock up Yanzhou Prison?" I poured him a cup of tea.

Ye Juezhi nodded: "The emperor has already ordered the prefect of Yanzhou to act completely according to your arrangement." ”

"Whew." I put my mind at ease, "That's good, the prefect of Yanzhou is a student of Master Yang, and they won't suffer a loss." ”

"Master Yang? Is it Master Young Master? Ye Juezhi was puzzled.

"That's right, it's Yang Jie's father." I smiled and pushed open the window on my right, "Oh, by the way, what about the assassins?" What did the emperor do with them? ”

Ye Juezhi recalled the look on the emperor's face at that time, and said to me, "After Cai Shaoqing escorted them back to Beijing, the emperor ordered Dali Temple to interrogate them strictly, but ...... They all committed suicide in the prison of Dali Temple. ”

"That's exactly what happened." I sighed and lowered my eyes slightly, "It seems that there is no evidence of any more." ”

"Your Excellency already knows this is going to be the end? Then why do you still ......" Ye Juezhi didn't understand the meaning of such useless work.

I sneered, my eyes were slightly cold, "They always like to come to find trouble with the original appearance, and the original appearance should always return some gifts, and they feel that the original appearance is weak and can be bullied, and they come to challenge the bottom line of the original appearance again and again." ”

Ye Juezhi rarely saw me show such a bored look, but if you think about it carefully, what those people did did really make it difficult to calm down.

"When you return to Beijing this time, you can't help but prune some unruly branches." Ye Juezhi looked at me, "I can not only dissipate some anger, but also share the emperor's worries." ”

"Lord Ye, this is trying to let Benxiang 'charge into battle' alone." I squinted my eyes and smiled, "Although Benxiang can't get used to their style, everyone is colleagues, and Benxiang doesn't need to cut off their lives for personal grievances, right?" ”

"Since the lord holds the Red Lotus Order, there is no personal grievance, I believe the lord also knows in his heart that since the first emperor, the Pei Party has been sitting in the middle of the court, and now, they don't even care about the emperor, the lord just doesn't do it, and the emperor must also eradicate them."

Ye Juezhi does not deny that he has the intention of making me a 'rising bird', but as the head of a hundred officials, I can't escape this 'emerging bird' no matter what, the reason why he put it forward so grandly today, in addition to what he said, the most important reason is that the emperor can't wait.

If the country is not destroyed, the pattern of the Qin country will inevitably change, and the ambition of Pei Lu's wolf son, if he allows his party to grow stronger, I am afraid that one day he will come to the city and destroy the dynasty.

The emperor has been withholding Pei Dang for a long time, and no matter how good his temperament is, he has been smoothed out, and now the arrow is on the string, and it will be shot out after all.

I understand the meaning of Ye Juezhi's words, originally when I decided to return to Beijing, I had already planned to make Pei Lu suffer some hardships, and also to teach him to know who was the head of the ministers in the Jinluan Palace, but now that Ye Juezhi has proposed it, I will not refuse, and it can be regarded as indirectly expressing my loyalty to the emperor.

"Lord Ye, you ordered someone to deliberately cut down trees to block my way, so I won't think too much, as for my mean words and reckless behavior, please Lord Ye, you don't have to take it to heart." I stood up and bowed to Ye Juezhi.

Ye Juezhi dared to accept my salute, and turned sideways to avoid the back. immediately said goodbye and left, "The matter of cutting down trees is indeed done by the lower officials, but this is also thanks to the lower officials specially advised by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before leaving for Qi State. It was more deeply exposed, the adults rested earlier, and the lower officials took their leave first. ”

Ye Juezhi's explanation made me stunned when I heard it, and the slightly cold wind blew in from the window, blowing me cold.

Cen Xi.

On the second day, the weather was clear, the sea was as blue as the sky, and it was a good day to hurry.

Before returning to the capital, I specially said goodbye to the shopkeeper and Miss Lan, who saw that I was leaving, and pulled me into the corner with a red face.

"I went to deliver food to the guest officer last night, but his attendant immediately tied me up, and I didn't eat a bite of food...... Sorry didn't help you. Miss Lan bowed her head guiltily.

"It doesn't matter, Miss Lan was willing to help me last night, I am already grateful, if he is destined to meet in the capital one day, I will be the east and invite the girl to have a big meal." I said.

"I'm not a pig." Miss Lan rolled her eyes and pouted and walked away.

I was stunned for a moment, then chuckled under my breath.

"Childe, please get in the car."

"Just come."
