Ye Yunyang was invited out of prison, and Lu Zhuo specially arranged a carriage to send him back to the temple.

Everyone was puzzled by his sudden release from prison, because Chi Wenbai's arrest had just happened, and it had not reached the ears of Huo Hong and the others, and they were thinking about how to go to the emperor to intercede.

Dongfang Yixue was so happy that he immediately boiled bath water and clean clothes for him, although the prison was still dry, he hadn't taken a bath for several days, just to wash away his bad luck.

Ye Yunyang came to the bath room, and the hot water in the big wooden barrel in the middle was belching white gas, and Dongfang Yixue also sprinkled petals in it.

"Hehe, why don't you wash it together?" he suggested with a wicked smile.

The beautiful woman blushed: "Don't talk nonsense, you hurry up and wash, I'll go out first." ”

"Don't mind, let's ...... together"

Before he could finish his words, the beauty fled in a puff of smoke.

There's no way, it seems that you have to hurry up and do the last step in the future, otherwise it's really not good to always maintain this feeling of being separated.

He had just finished halfway through the wash, and Dongfang Yixue's voice sounded outside the door: "Yun Yang, you hurry up a little, His Majesty the Emperor has summoned you into the palace." ”

"Got it!"

An hour later, wearing the duke's uniform of Zanxin County, he appeared in front of the emperor and the crown prince in high spirits.

The emperor looked him up and down, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, it seems that the prison life in the past few days has not had any effect on you. ”

Generally, people who have experienced prison will have some changes in their personalities, and most of them will show that their edges and corners have been smoothed out.

Ye Yunyang is a young man, he is at the age of strong blood, and the emperor does not want his personality to change because of this trivial matter.

"The minister is ashamed. "It's rare for him to be polite, he went to prison to show others, the emperor and the crown prince have made a clear statement on this, since it is a formality, there will naturally be no change in thinking.

The Emperor nodded, glancing at the crown prince.

The prince opened his mouth and said: "Now it has basically been ascertained that Cui Xinli and Xiao Yichun are the culprits who betrayed your father, and as their top bosses back then, Ji Yuze can't get rid of it." And Taiwei Chi Wenbai is the initiator of the public opinion attack on you, and the driving force behind it, these four people are guilty, so the father ordered them to be sent to prison. ”

Cui Xinli and Xiao Yichun entered the prison to explain that Cui Xinli is the main general of the sixth grade, Xiao Yichun is from the fourth grade, and the official rank of the two is not high, and in the imperial capital, where there are many officials like dogs, they cannot be seen at all.

Ji Yuze is a third-grade Shangshu, to be honest, he was put in prison, the reason is a little far-fetched, his criminal responsibility is to connive at his subordinates' misdeeds, according to the normal punishment system, at most he is demoted, and it is difficult to even dismiss the official.

And now that he is in prison, it is obvious that he will be dealt with strictly, so the nature has changed, it is estimated that the dismissal is the lightest, and as for the heavy, it is possible to cut off the head.

Besides, Chi Wenbai, who is ranked as the third duke, is in charge of the Han Empire's soldiers and horses, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is above 10,000 people under one person.

According to the laws and regulations of the empire, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, but there is also a rule that the punishment is not a doctor, and with Chi Wenbai's official rank, he has already surpassed the traditional sense of a doctor.

However, he was also thrown into prison, which is somewhat intriguing.

Coupled with the words that Chi Wenbai said when he saw Ye Yunyang, people couldn't help but think deeply.

On the way home, in the shower, and on the way to the study, he thought about it, but he couldn't come up with a result.

After listening to the prince's words, he suddenly realized, I see! No wonder Chi Wenbai said that he had fallen into the pit, and asked him if he had joined forces with the emperor, obviously he was used by the father and son in front of him.

Although Ye Yunyang didn't care about the affairs of the court, he had also heard that the emperor was afraid of the imperial lieutenant controlling military affairs, and Chi Wenbai had many henchmen, and he had reached a situation where he could not be defeated.

In the front-line army, at least more than sixty percent of the generals are either himself or the henchmen of his subordinates, and they obey his words, and sometimes the emperor's orders are not easy to use, and the generals and soldiers only listen to him.

With Liu Qi's shrewdness, of course, it is impossible to tolerate such a thing, and he has long wanted to start cutting Chi Wenbai's power.

However, Chi Wenbai was extremely shrewd, and he was usually cautious, and the emperor failed to catch any of his handles, and he could not attack him without a reasonable excuse. After all, he has a lot of influence in the military, and rashly convicting him is likely to cause discontent in the army, and even a serious consequence such as a mutiny.

The emperor had to endure and quietly wait for Chi Wenbai to take the initiative to make a mistake.

As the old saying goes, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, Chi Wenbai was careful enough, but he still capsized in the gutter.

This gutter is called Ye Yunyang.

According to normal practice, after Ye Yunyang sent Cui Xinli to Dali Temple, he himself should be convicted, but the emperor deliberately did not punish him, in order to make Xiao Yichun and Ji Yuze have a sense of crisis, and then pull their boss Chi Wenbai into the water.

Chi Wenbai really lived up to expectations, came up with a strategy to use public opinion, and used his connections in the officialdom to instigate officials to criticize Ye Yunyang.

According to Ye Yunyang's original thoughts, he was just targeting Cui Xinli and Xiao Yichun, and he didn't think that Ji Yuze could be involved, and the other party was punished somewhat, so he was satisfied.

As for Chi Wenbai, he didn't even think about it.

Looking at the smug expressions on the faces of the emperor's father and son, he smiled indifferently and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being the master of Weichen, the minister is grateful." ”

This is not nutritious at all, and it is obviously used for perfunctory.

The emperor was not happy at the time: "What, you are not satisfied with what I have done?"

Ye Yunyang said in his heart You are the emperor, where do I dare, and said: "Your Majesty enforces the law impartially, and I admire Weichen very much, but when I am used as a gunman, I am always a little unhappy in my heart, and the minister is not good at hiding what I think in my heart, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Whoever uses you as a gun, make it clear." ”

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do you have to say it so bluntly? You two have used my case to bring down many years of great trouble, and I have done a great thing for Your Majesty by mistake, so instead of punishing me, you should reward me, right?"

The father and son glanced at each other, and the emperor scolded with a smile: "Little slippery head, I can't hide anything from you! Let me tell you the truth, this time I did use you to deal with Chi Wenbai, and you didn't disappoint me, but you completed the task unintentionally, not to help me solve problems under subjective consciousness, so I don't need to thank you." And it's an indisputable fact that you tortured to extract a confession, and even if you have merit, it can't replace the mistakes you have committed, isn't it?"

Ye Yunyang spread his hands: "You are always the emperor, and what you say is a golden rule, and you dare not and cannot refute it as a courtier." ”

The implication is that the master is not convinced.

The emperor smiled: "Boy, don't be dissatisfied, if you change someone else and make such a serious mistake, you will be dragged out and beheaded a long time ago." ”

The crown prince echoed: "Yes, if it weren't for my father's best to protect you, I would have taken your life with those twists and turns." ”

Ye Yunyang squeezed out a smile: "In this way, I have to thank you two, you might as well talk about it, why are you in a hurry to deal with Chi Wenbai?"

Emperor Zhengse said: "It is because of your agreement with the ghost-faced horse that the Qin people will no longer interfere in the affairs of the Southern Barbarians, and the Han Dynasty is about to use troops against the Southern Barbarians." Chi Wenbai's control of the world's military affairs has reached the point where it has to be solved, with him, the recovery of the Southern Barbarians will definitely become very complicated, and even complicated, I will never allow such a thing to happen. ”

As early as when he was fighting against Nanshan, Chi Wenbai was a member of the opposition party, claiming that it was impossible to conquer the Nanshan bandits, and in the end it would definitely cost the people and money.

The military bigwigs all said so, and the generals also held opposing opinions, if it were not for Liu Qiqian's arbitrary decision, the matter of conquest of the south might have been stillborn.

Even if the expedition to the south became a sure thing later, Chi Wenbai still got in the way, refused the army that the emperor wanted to dispatch several times, and pushed back for various reasons, and the plan to conquer the south almost went bankrupt because of this.

In the end, thanks to Ye Yunyang's strange move, first of all, the troops of the southern expedition were further compressed, and the emperor was able to draw manpower from the army that was not controlled by Chi Wenbai, especially the recruitment of 100,000 Vietnamese troops to participate in the war, which was simply a stroke of genius.

Including the later Iron Eagle Army, as well as the 100,000 defenders of Nanyue Mansion, and the 50,000 army that finally served as the raid on the City of Thieves, these armies have one thing in common, that is, they were not touched by Chi Wenbai's henchmen.

Strictly speaking, Emperor Liu Qi was able to defeat the Nanshan thieves because he defeated Chi Wenbai first, and these military transfers were all carried out behind the Taiwei Mansion.

Chi Wenbai calculated everything, and the only thing he didn't calculate was that Ye Yunyang gave advice to the emperor.

After this incident, Chi Wenbai hated Ye Yunyang in his heart, so he would deal with him without thinking about it after the Cui Xinli incident.

Compared with the recovery of Nanban, the battle of Nanshan can only be regarded as a small test, Chi Wenbai suffered a loss last time, this time he will definitely spare no effort to fight against the emperor, of course the emperor can't tolerate him.

Only by taking Chi Wenbai can the emperor dare to send troops to the South Barbarians with confidence.

So when Xiao Yichun confessed that Chi Wenbai was the driving force behind the scenes, the emperor ordered him to be arrested and imprisoned without thinking, and all of them were left behind.

After listening to these explanations, Ye Yunyang smiled bitterly: "It seems that I went to Leopard Taowei to find Cui Xinli's trouble, and I helped Your Majesty a great favor by mistake." ”

The emperor laughed: "So what you said, I named you General Fulin, it is absolutely correct, you are my Fu General." ”

Ye Yun raised his eyebrows and raised: "Then you are still so stingy, if you don't give a reward, forget it, and punish me, is this reasonable?"

The prince turned his face: "Yun Yang, how did you talk to your father, it's not big or small!"

The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile, "You want a reward, right?"

Ye Yunyang nodded like a chicken pecking rice, his bottom line is that merit and demerit are compensated, and it doesn't matter what the reward is, as long as you don't punish me again.

"Well, I will reward you......" The emperor rolled his eyes and said, "...... I will reward you with a two-month vacation, you have been named the prince of Nanshan County for so long, and you haven't been to the fiefdom, but it is the place where you fought, go and see. ”

Ye Yunyang's eyes widened, and the black line on his face, your sister's ...... Ahem, your sister is too old, it's not appropriate to attack her, it's your granddaughter's!

Your granddaughter's, pit me again!
