Chapter 21: Entanglement
After Wei Yingluo heard Ye Yunyi's words, she put away her curiosity, approached Ye Yunyi's side and said: "Tiger father has no dog, if you really do this, you will not be Ye Beijiang's son, I look down on you."
This made Ye Yunyi speechless even more, why could he be Ye Beijiang's son if he caught a spy, it seems that Wei Yingluo is still just a person who only knows the sinister way of the world but has not experienced it personally. If this is left to future generations, morality and righteousness are just tools to cover the mouths of the people.
Seeing that this was the only way, Ye Yunyi couldn't say anything, so he had to call Ye Bo and arrange a courtyard for Wei Yingluo to settle her down temporarily.
"You may stay here for a while, but you are not allowed to go out in the third chapter of the law, and I will send you and your guards out of the city in a few days; and are not allowed to step into my yard, stay quietly in Ye Mansion", Ye Yunyi set a rule for Wei Yingluo, he was afraid that this Wei Yingluo would make trouble again, so that he would not be able to clean it up.
Ye Yunyi, who returned to the courtyard, put down his tired heart, walked to the bronze mirror, and looked at his other self in the mirror, confused, contradictory, and very complicated.
After staying for a while, I slowly sat down at my desk and began to think. Wei Yingluo's sudden intrusion into the Ye Mansion completely disrupted Ye Yunyi's previous deployment.
Originally, if the dispute outside the Chu Palace was resolved, he didn't have to pay attention to the affairs of the royal family, and let those ministers and Taige elders have a headache by themselves, but now that Wei Yingluo is in his Ye Mansion, he can't figure out that he will give others a tongue at this critical moment.
I am not afraid of secretly taking charge of the Secret Pavilion, but my father, who has a heavy army, will become the target of their attack if he is not careful, and even the ancestor who was loyal to the Ye family before is not worried about his father, let alone at this time.
You can rely on the dark pavilion to plan everything in secret, but on the surface, there are some rules that must be followed.
Although Ye Yunyi can send Wei Yingluo out through the secret channels of the Secret Pavilion, which is tantamount to exposing himself to the princess of the enemy country, it is very unwise, it is better to let Wei Yingluo continue to regard himself as the prince of the Ye Mansion of the Chu State.
Therefore, Ye Yunyi could only enter the palace once again and seek another opportunity to send Wei Yingluo out.
The next day, Ye Yunyi put on his court clothes and came to the front hall to prepare for breakfast, but saw that Wei Yingluo, who had resumed women's clothes, was already sitting at the dining table and waiting, Ye Bo brought the last dish, Ye Yunyi sat directly on the top seat and started to eat directly, Ye Bo sat on the left hand side and also entertained Wei Yingluo and began to eat.
The food in Ye Mansion has been improved by Ye Yunyi, coupled with Ye Bo's superb cooking skills, the dishes are full of color, flavor and flavor, Wei Yingluo did not forget to praise Ye Bo's craftsmanship while eating next to him, and Wei Yingluo said non-stop to the whole meal.
The previous Ye Mansion was a little deserted by Ye Yunyi and Ye Bo, but now Wei Yingluo has broken this tranquility.
After eating, Ye Yunyi went directly to the Chu Palace, to be honest, Ye Yunyi really didn't want to enter the palace at this time.
On the surface, he was hanging on the idle position of the Hanlin cultivator, and it was also a false position that he came out to hang after accepting the trial of the Dark Pavilion.
The main task is to be responsible for recording and sorting out the palace collection, which is dispensable for the last dynasty, and his own Hanlin is still under the management of Xie Shuran.
Xie Shuran knows Ye Yunyi very well, he is a petty official on the surface, but secretly he is a cabinet elder who is on an equal footing with him, and he never cares about Ye Yunyi.
Ye Yunyi is also very satisfied with his idle job on the surface of being blessed by his father's merits, and he is happy to be idle.
When Ye Yunyi entered the palace, the Chu Imperial Palace at this time was already noisy, the old school had fallen, there was no suitable heir to the throne, and several ministers were arguing about what to do next.
There was no emperor in the early dynasty, and the Taige and a few of them had to invite the queen Qin Luoyao to symbolize it, and then a few people quarreled non-stop.
Ye Yunyi went to the court but did not go to the main hall, he turned a corner and walked into the Huishu Pavilion after entering the palace gate, according to the usual practice, a petty official like Ye Yunyi could not enter the main hall when he went to the court, and the ministers in charge entered the main hall, and then after the ministers finished going to the court, they returned to their respective positions, and then told the officials below about the instructions.
Ye Yunyi walked into the Huishuge Pavilion unhurriedly, sat on the table of the Huishuge Pavilion, and looked at the "Atlas of the Nations" that he had read before. The surrounding Hanlin corrections were looking for books back and forth, and then sorting them out, and it seemed to be commonplace for Ye Yunyi's boss.
Unconsciously, it was almost noon, Ye Yunyi had finished reading the "Illustrated Chronicles of the Nations", and he hadn't seen Xie Shuran come back to convene the political secretaries of the Taige, it seemed that this time the court meeting was held for a long time.
After a while, Ye Yunyi heard several arguing officials passing by the door of Huishuge and heading towards Taige. Across the door, Ye Yunyi heard that several of them were still talking about who should inherit the orthodoxy of the royal family.
Lifting the book covering his face, Ye Yunyi, who was lying on his back, slowly sorted out his clothes and walked towards Taige.
Let's take a look at what they say, I don't want to get involved in them, let them fight as much as they want, and now the basic big hidden dangers have been solved by themselves, and fighting for these is just a harmless thing.
Which one is the emperor of Chu, after all, is just a squander of the fruits of the labor of the people of the Chu State, and when the previous ancestor fought against the old faction, he had already dispersed the power of the imperial court.
The military power was divided into the defenders and the border army, the imperial court government affairs were divided into three divisions, the Xing Prison Division was in charge of criminal punishment and case judgment, the financial power was assigned to the Finance Department, and the political power was assigned to the Taige.
This has begun to take shape in the later generations of the model of the separation of powers, if he can, Ye Yunyi hopes to promote the further development of Chu Guode's politics, the foundation is already there, and it is difficult for the current Chu State to have people who can convince several parties to ascend the throne.
When they were about to fight, Ye Yunyi took out this set of plans again, and it would not be acceptable to say this kind of idea as soon as he came.
Ye Yunyi had already expected that neither the head of the three divisions nor the Controlling Division would be able to fight for a satisfactory result, and this was the best time for him to come out and solve it.
Before he stepped into the gate of the Taige, he had already heard the three elders inside and the chief officials of the other two divisions arguing, good guy, the palace didn't finish arguing, and came back to continue arguing, which was similar to the vegetable sellers on the street.
"Elder Xie Ge, if you want me to say, you should choose a suitable one of the royal relatives who are locked up in the Xing Prison Division, even if they are guilty, for the sake of the imperial family, the crime will not lead to death, and the inheritance of the great unification requires a legitimate bloodline", this is the voice of the chief officer of the Imperial Division.
Because the old faction was imprisoned before, the current Imperial Division has no support from several imperial relatives and relatives, and it is almost an empty shell, so the chief officer of the Imperial Division exonerates them like this.
"No, the royal family is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that they are guilty of collaborating with the enemy, the crime is unforgivable, and now the only emperor who can inherit the throne is the queen mother, whether it is blood or prestige, she can bear it", this is the voice of Shi Lin, the elder of Taige.
"What about the opinions of the rest of you", Xie Shuran still said in a calm tone.
"Well, we don't have any ideas, it's just that now the border army has blocked the news because of Uncle Chu's rebellion, and now we don't know what the situation is on the border, and the top priority is to get in touch with the border army as soon as possible and send the military rations over", this is the voice of the chief financial secretary.
Ye Yunyi listened outside, and only went in when he saw that it was a lot quieter, only to see a few old men in court clothes on the seats on both sides of the inside, sitting paralyzed regardless of their image.
Seeing Ye Yunyi come in, except for the three elders of Taige who were busy paying attention to their image, the others were still sitting paralyzed, and only the Taige knew their identity, and the other ministers didn't take it seriously when they saw the Hanlin clothes Ye Yunyi was wearing, because Hanlin was Xie Shuran's subordinate official, so there was no fuss here.
Ye Yunyi walked up to Xie Shuran and whispered in his ear: "It just so happens that I need to go to the border to deal with some things, and the matter of escorting military rations can be left to me."
After finishing speaking, Ye Yunyi retreated, and the remaining Ye Yunyi believed that Xie Shuran would arrange it for him, after all, this is a hot potato, and it is appropriate to go by himself, after all, he broke off communication with the border army, which was originally very suspicious, and now that the Emperor of Chu has died, someone must let the border army suppress his emotions.
Ye Yunyi goes, Ye Beijiang will definitely believe it, and only Ye Yunyi can let Ye Beijiang suppress the border army.
When Ye Yunyi heard that the reconstruction and the border army had to contact and escort grain and grass, he thought that this was a good time, he could take people out of the city in the name of the official without arousing suspicion, and at the same time, he could hide his identity well in front of Wei Yingluo.
So Ye Yunyi took over this errand and went to see his father who he hadn't seen for more than ten years.
