Chapter XXXVIII

Chu Ye said kindly: "The old man doesn't have to be afraid, the general has already informed this king of what you are asking for, but this king is not very clear about some things, and I want to ask the old man in person." ”

"Lord Wang, please ask, the old man must know everything." The old man said.

Chu Ye asked, "Why did the emperor come to your mansion that day?" He'd seen Long Yinle before? ”

The old man replied cautiously: "It should not have been seen, the emperor came to the palace that day, and the old man was very surprised, and the emperor did not say what happened, only sat for less than half an hour, and then met the old grandmother's daughter-in-law, the granddaughter-in-law did not know the identity of the emperor, and said a few words without a form, originally the old man thought that this time the emperor must be blamed, but he didn't expect that before leaving, he asked the old man to prepare for the grandson's daughter-in-law to enter the palace." A few days ago, the prime minister also ordered someone to accept the old granddaughter-in-law as a righteous daughter, so that she could use her new identity to enter the palace. ”

Chu Ye pondered for a moment, and asked as if he didn't care, "Then does your granddaughter-in-law agree to enter the palace?" ”

The old man sighed, "If she is willing, no matter how reluctant the old man is, she will let her go, the problem is that she herself is unwilling, and she scolded the prime minister's second housekeeper." ”

Shao Guohan, the guard beside Chu Ye, was a little strange, "Your granddaughter-in-law is really strange, no matter how bad she is in the palace, she can be crowned a nobleman, but she prefers to stay by the side of a fool." This sentence was asked by Murong Xian.

The old man's face changed, and when he heard Guohan say that Shoutou was a fool, he was not very happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, and he didn't dare to show displeasure on his face, so he only said: "I probably got along, and I always have feelings." ”

Guohan said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say Ling Jinsun, I just feel that things are a little unreasonable." ”

"How can there be common sense in many things in the world? The old grandmother's daughter-in-law acts differently from ordinary people. Before, Lao Yu had some business disputes with others, and she also wrote to settle the old man, so that Lao Yu would not lose a lot of money. ”

"Oh? Tell me about it! Chu Ye asked with interest.

The old man said: "Actually, when it comes to this matter, I am also ashamed, before the old man was sick, the unfilial son and Chen Pingyuan of Xiangping made a deal, and bought a batch of inferior goods at a high price, for which the old man once lost his temper at home. After the daughter-in-law of Sun found out, she wrote to Chen Pingyuan, what was written in the letter, Lao Yu didn't know, but Chen Pingyuan obediently delivered the goods to Beijing because of her letter, and came to apologize in person. Speaking of this matter, the old man still felt confused, he had asked Yin Le before, what was written in the letter, Yin Le explained that it was because he knew that someone was going to assassinate Chen Pingyuan, but he only informed him, and did not help him, why would he be grateful to Dade for personally sending goods into Beijing and insisting on meeting Ye'er and his wife. But now is not the time to pursue this, but first to make the emperor give up the idea of Long Yinle entering the palace.

Chu Ye and Murong Xian glanced at each other, maybe outsiders didn't know who Chen Pingyuan was, but the two of them knew very well. Chen Pingyuan is the brother of today's Concubine Chen, although he is not related by blood, but in private Chen Pingyuan and the emperor have a close relationship, Chen Pingyuan naturally wants to touch the royal light, but the emperor's eyes are staring at the name of the richest man in Xiangping. Xiangping, which was some distance from the capital, had begun to secretly develop military bases, and on the pretext of building embankments, a large number of able-bodied peasants were recruited, and the task of actually repairing the embankments was handed over to the river workers, and the peasants who were recruited back were all secretly trained. Chu Ye had already explored this very clearly before.

Chu Ye said to the old man: "This king is already clear about this matter, this king will think of a perfect way, you can go home and wait with peace of mind." ”

The old man was grateful, he didn't expect the regent to agree so quickly, he thought he would have to work hard. He stood up and saluted: "The old man has thanked the prince, and he has thanked the prince for the granddaughter-in-law of the old decay family!" ”

Chu Ye instructed Guohan, "Send the old man out!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Guohan arched his hand.

The old man also said: "The old man retired, everything, please leave it to the prince, as long as this matter can be done, the prince is the benefactor of the old family, and in the future, the prince's words, the old family, don't dare to disobey." The last sentence is quite meaningful, the old man has been in the shopping mall for many years, and he has never been related to officials, but after experiencing this incident, he knows that he must find a backer for the Liu family, otherwise he will die in the future, and his group of unsuccessful descendants will be swallowed by people even with meat and bones.

Chu Ye was waiting for this sentence, he had a casual smile on his face, and said, "The old man doesn't have to be polite, go slowly!" ”

After the old man left, Murong Xian asked thoughtfully, "You probably want to fight the Liu family, right?" ”

Chu Ye shook his head, "You still can't see clearly?" ”

Murong Xian also shook his head, "What do you mean?" ”

There was a hint of coldness in Chu Ye's eyes, "Chu Kun will go to Liu's house because of the letter that Long Yinle wrote to Chen Pingyuan, reward, no matter what method is used, get that letter, this king wants to see what Long Yinle wrote to Chen Pingyuan, so Chu Kun can't sit still, and he actually wants to visit Liu's house in person." ”

Murong Xian was a little clear, but he still had reservations about Long Yinle, "Even because of this, I still think this woman is too suspicious, who knows what her intentions are?" Aren't you afraid that all this is a calculation? Just wait for us to stupidly walk into the trap set by others. ”

"Whether it's a trap or not, you have to walk through it to find out. Reward, when did you become so timid? How can you be afraid of wolves and tigers? Chu Ye sneered.

Murong Xian said angrily: "Who am I afraid it is for?" Not for you? Just because you've been plotted once before and got away with it doesn't mean you're so lucky every time. ”

Chu Ye didn't have the slightest impression of what happened that year, and he said a little dazedly: "Actually, it's not sure if it was plotted by someone, all the memories of this king about that year have dissipated." ”

Murong said, "Who else will attack you?" It's not a matter of a day or a half that he covets this throne, how many assassinations have he made in the open and in the dark? If it weren't for your mercy that day, this throne would have been yours long ago. ”

Chu Ye said coldly: "Now that the throne has been decided, this king doesn't want to fight for this throne, if he is sincere for the people, this king will not sit on the throne of this regent today and compete with him for a long time." However, the hearts of the people are insufficient, and they get the world, but they have been fighting for many years, conquering the south and the north, making the people miserable. ”

"Hmph, he wants to expand his territory, so as to imprint meritorious deeds in the hearts of the people, in order to stabilize his throne." Murong Xian said disdainfully.

Chu Ye looked at Murong Xian, his expression was a little stupid, "Reward, this king always feels that he has one thing he hasn't done yet, but he racked his brains, but he can't remember what it is, this king seems to have promised a person to do something, but who is that woman and what is to do, this king really doesn't remember." ”

Murong Xian looked at him with some pity, "Probably when you were in trouble, someone once saved you, maybe you promised your benefactor something, but after you woke up, that memory disappeared, and you don't remember it anymore." You also know that the most important thing for you is the promise, the promise you made, even if you go to the soup to complete it, so although your memory is gone, but that promise has carved a mark in your heart, don't be too anxious, the imperial doctor also said that this memory is also possible to recover in the future, and when you remember who you promised to do something, it is not too late for you to do it again. ”
