Li Xingtian returned to the palace in a trance, and Ye Mu's words kept echoing in his mind.

"My eldest brother is the champion of the imperial examination next year, princess, you don't allow anyone, and my brother hasn't married yet, or you can recruit him as a concubine, don't worry, although he is not as good-looking as me, but he is definitely better than other men in Kyoto, anyway, your common enemy is the regent, isn't it better to cooperate after becoming a husband and wife?"

She obviously went to recruit Ye Mu, why was he going to promote his eldest brother? is also the champion of the imperial examination next year, so the tone is inevitably too big!

But for some reason, Li Xingtian felt funny and had some expectations at the same time, who is Ye Mu's eldest brother? Why have I never heard of such a person?

Where did the Ye family come from, even if they cultivated Ye Mu with peerless martial arts, did they actually cultivate another person with peerless talents?

What makes Li Xingtian even more interested is, what kind of enmity does this Ye brother have with Uncle Huang? is so bold to confess to himself, aren't you afraid that you will tell Uncle Huang about these things? How did they know that they were estranged from Uncle Huang?

Ten days later, Ye Mu lived up to expectations and won the champion of martial arts under everyone's expectations, Li Yunze's face on the stage was not very good-looking, because this position was specially arranged by him for his subordinates, but now it was taken away by a person who didn't know where it came from, it was 5,000 soldiers!

But there is no need for martial arts, and in front of everyone's eyes, he can't do other means, so he can only give the government to this hippie smiling boy.

"Found out." Not sooner or later, just after Ye Mu was given an official, his subordinates came to Gu Yunfan to report, "Someone saw that this Ye Mu came to Kyoto with Liu Ziyi, the youngest son of Prime Minister Liu Cheng's family. ”

Gu Yunfan turned his head and stared at him sharply: "Such important news, why haven't you found it until now?" ”

"Please forgive me, sir, I heard that it was because the day they came, the ship that the prince brought fresh fruits from the south arrived at the dock, so everyone went to talk about our ship, plus they were low-key and didn't let anyone from the Prime Minister's Mansion pick it up, so not many people noticed."

"It's all waste, why does the prince spend so much money to support you a year? Even the capital is so slow to inquire about the news, what's the use of asking you? ”

"It's useless for subordinates."

"Let's go down." Gu Yunfan took a deep breath, "The matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is no other way now, just wait for the prince's instructions." ”

"Yes."

Li Yunze was really furious when he learned the news, and he didn't know how many secret guards were punished for this: "Prime Minister Liu, when did he have such a powerful person?" It's really deep enough. ”

"Lord Wang, what should we do now?"

"What should I do?" Li Yunze sneered, "Prime Minister Liu Cheng thinks that everything will be fine if he takes away 5,000 soldiers and horses from me?" Those 5,000 people were under my command before, will they listen to Ye Mu's orders or another matter, there is a shortage of people at the border pass, isn't Ye Mu strong in martial arts? Let him deal with the barbarians, if there is a random mistake, wouldn't it be easy to remove him from his post? ”

Gu Yunfan nodded: "My subordinates understand, so I will inform you." ”

Although the matter is under control, Li Yunze still feels very uncomfortable after being tricked, so the atmosphere in the last few days is extremely tense, and the ministers are all trembling, only the prime minister is at ease, he feels that the Ye Qiu Yemu brothers are really his lucky stars, this is just the beginning, and there are bigger surprises waiting for the regent in the future.

Before the New Year, Ye Mu was sent to the border pass, for the problem given by Li Yunze, Ye Mu said that this is all trivial, the soldiers under his command are disobedient, just fight a few more, the enemy loves to engage in sneak attacks, and no one can escape his sharp eyes, therefore, Li Yunze not only did not calculate him, but let him make several contributions, and the prime minister is not a vegetarian, and immediately asked to promote Ye Mu's official position and increase the soldiers and horses in his hands.

Li Yunze can't disagree on this matter, if he opposes it like this, then those soldiers under his command don't want to be promoted, so they can only grit their teeth and give away the power in their hands.

This year, the regent has a relatively high right to speak, and it is rare to suffer such a big loss in this matter this time, Li Xingtian and Li Xingyun, the two siblings, are in a much better mood, and at the same time, they are more curious about the brother in Ye Mu's mouth.

"Eldest sister, if Brother Ye Mu is really admitted to the top prize, it is not impossible to recruit him as a concubine." Little Emperor Li Xingyun thought carefully and said.

Li Xingtian couldn't help but nod his head: "At a young age, do you still know this?" ”

"How did I not know?" Li Xingyun inserted his waist and said, "You see that Li Xingyun is so good-looking and capable, his brother must be good, although his family background is not good, but he has talent there, he is one scholar and one martial artist, and he will definitely be able to protect his eldest sister in the future." ”

Hearing the young imperial brother say this, Li Xingtian couldn't help but be moved, her love for the younger brother was even more than her curiosity about Brother Na Yemu.

She touched Li Xingyun's head and said, "Don't worry about the eldest sister's marriage, one day, our sister and brother will no longer be controlled by others." ”

"I'll try." The little emperor Li Xingyun clenched his fists and said, "Taifu said that I have made great progress in my studies recently, and I must be in charge as soon as possible." ”

"Don't work yourself too hard, my father is just too tired and can't stand it."

"I also practice martial arts every day, and I will definitely make myself healthy and safe."

Li Xingtian didn't speak again, but her heart was even more distressed, just because she was born in this royal family, so the royal brother is more sensible than any of his peers, and he has to ensure his safety all the time, and sometimes she can't help but complain, why can't her father live for two more years?

During the Chinese New Year, Ye Qiu and Liu Ziyi participated in the examination together, and before entering the Tribute Academy, he saw an acquaintance.

Rong Leqing is here today to send her brother Rong Shen to participate in the examination, after explaining the matters that need to be paid attention to in the scientific examination, she unconsciously looked around and saw a familiar figure.

"What's wrong?" Rong Shen asked with concern, "What do you see?" How about this expression? ”

"I guess I'm wrong." Rong Leqing shook her head, "There's no way he'll appear here." ”

"Who is he? Do you have something to hide from me? ”

"It's none other than Ye Qiu, I saw a back just now that looks very similar."

"That should be just a simple look, Ye Qiu's virtue is unbearable, and he has been deprived of his identity as a scholar, how can he appear here?"

"I think so, it's me who is too careful."

"Don't mention this person again in the future, the prince probably won't like it."

"I understand." Rong Leqing smiled, "Big brother, go in quickly, don't have psychological pressure, the prince said that it is easy to want to be a junior with your talents." ”

"Go back quickly, I will take the test well and win glory for you and your parents."
