"It's raining outside?" The emperor slowly raised his head and raised his hand to signal King Yi to speak.

"It's raining." Shen actually came out and said.

"You tell someone to go out and get an umbrella and get ready."

Shen Jing obeyed the order, and even a small eunuch put on a thick robe and went to get an umbrella outside the palace. King Yi didn't dare to make a sound, but watched the little eunuch leave, and Shen Jing also returned to the throne, before he continued: "Erchen is willing to do his filial piety by his father's side, but it is difficult to give up the people under his rule, for fear that they will say that Erchen's is not, thinking that I am going to abandon them." Therefore, I was anxious in my heart, and I said those nonsense and taught you to see the joke. Fortunately, Cai Shilang kindly reminded Erchen to come to his senses. ”

The emperor put his hands on the dragon chair, and a few soft laughs came out from behind the scenes: "My son has a heart for the people, which is really commendable, how can it be said to be a joke?" Moreover, Ge Hanlin's proposal is also a bit sloppy, no one can accept it, and the responsibility is not on you. I will deal with it properly so that you do not fail the people. ”

Seeing that he had covered up the past, King Yi secretly exhaled, kowtowed his head twice, and stood up with his sleeves brushed.

It was night, black clouds and heavy rain. Patches of rain hit the roof suddenly, and then slid down the eaves, forming a curtain of water in front of Ye Yongjia, and there was a crackling sound.

Ye Yongjia was affected by the cold wind blowing on his face, the hair on his sideburns was blown up, swaying wildly, and sporadic raindrops smashed on his face; But he still didn't move, and didn't say a word.

"Tinglong, Tinglong!" Cai Xianqing shivered coldly, and while putting on the fox fur, he shouted to him behind him, "It's not a way for you to think like this!" It's cold, come in! ”

Ye Yongjia sighed, looked down at the transparent raindrops on his sleeves, wiped them away with his hand, then turned around and went into the room, and took off his black gauze hat to the table.

"Put it on." Cai Xianqing hooked a robe with two fingers and threw it in front of him.

Ye Yongjia didn't listen, only stroked the texture of the robe with his slender hands, and sighed again: "The junior is indeed cold, bitterly cold...... But in the midst of this cold, the more urgent you feel, the more you are forced to meditate. Now that you and I have entered a desperate situation, I am most afraid that I still want to be comfortable. Wouldn't it be nice to let it sink so deep into the blood and bones? ”

"Desperate?" Cai Xianqing looked up to the sky and laughed, patted his thigh and said, "Old man, I have lived for most of my life, I have touched everything, and I have never experienced any desperate situation!" ”

Ye Yongjia turned back suddenly: "What about this time?" Although Prince Yi barely supported him, the emperor had already heard those words very clearly-he deliberately opened the topic and let people think about how to deal with it, which is the proof of my speculation! ”

"You also told me, looking at the reaction of the Chen Party, I am afraid that it has already been discussed with the emperor. In this way, King Yi undoubtedly disagreed with the emperor's will! Once the father and son are out of harmony and King Yi loses power, how can my generation still exist in the court? ”

"Tinglong, don't forget," Cai Xianqing pulled a hair from the fox fur and looked at it carefully, "The crown prince killed his brother to ascend the throne back then, and he received much more suspicion than King Yi; However, under the support of the Chen Party, hasn't it been down? The two are indeed related, but in today's eyes, I am afraid they are regarded as equal. ”

"Do you want to act like nothing happened?"

"No, no," Cai Xianqing blew off the fox fur in his hand, "Lord Ye has misunderstood the meaning of old decay, I am just correcting your mentality." After all, the situation has obviously gotten worse from the current point of view, and it is right to take it seriously. I believe that if we want to avoid the disaster for a while, we should let this fire burn back in front of the other party's door. ”

"I want to hear about it." Ye Yongjia clenched his fists, his eyes shining.

"For example, starting from the people around the prince, he created a shocking case in order to cover up King Yi's mistakes. This is called the substitution of offense for defense. ”

Ye Yongjia heard a little bit of reason, and saw that he was so confident and seemed to be talking casually, so he said: "It's not easy to talk here, please come to the back room and talk slowly." Then they went into the inner room one after the other, and lowered the curtains.

"Brother Cunzhao visits His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Cun Zhao went to the study, shouted and knelt down.

The prince's face was full of spring, and he stepped forward to support Cunzhao's arms: "Don't do this red tape." My brother, Chen Gongxuan, have they told you the news? ”

"What's the news?" Seeing that the prince was happy, Cun Zhao hurriedly followed his mind and asked him eagerly.

The prince pulled him up and said with a smile: "Comrade Chen set up a plan to make King Yi fall into a trap!" He has sent Ge Ming to the palace to return to the palace and find out the emperor's intentions! If nothing else, King Yi has offended his father now! ”

Cun Zhao suddenly brightened: "When I said the court meeting, how could King Yi's behavior be so weird, it turned out that Chen Gong 'cut first and then played', making him a criminal who contradicted the emperor!" ”

While talking, I suddenly heard a report from my confidant: "Hanlin bachelor Ge Ming is asking to see." The prince smiled heartily and called Ge Ming to the court again and again; It's time to come.

"Mr. Ge, what did my father say to you?" The prince graciously invited him to sit down and asked.

Ge Ming didn't dare to sit down, bent his waist slightly, and replied one by one: "When the emperor saw me, he first said, 'Today's court meeting is my fault, and you should not be in a hurry to announce your share, lest others suspect you of interfering in the emperor's family affairs, and almost implement this good strategy of pushing the boat down the river. Later, when he talked about King Yi, he said that he 'has always been reckless in temperament, so why should he tell everything in his heart?' As for the meaning of these words, I think His Highness understands them. ”

"It's done!" The prince slammed the table and shouted excitedly, "King Yi has been in the limelight for many days, and finally fell at this critical time. I can finally sit comfortably in my seat in the East Palace for a few days! ”

Cun Zhao followed with flattery: "It's just a few days, King Yi will definitely be in a state of collapse from now on, just wait for an opportunity, give a little advice to the emperor, and then he can be put to death!" Today, you can take advantage of this victory, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and completely pinch out Ye Yongjia's conspiracy! ”

"Brother Cun is so ambitious!" The prince was overwhelmed by joy at this time, and he couldn't be even more excited when he heard these words, "Mr. Ge, can you agree?" ”

Ge Mingwei was already disgusted with flattery, so he was willing to echo him, so he only persuaded him bitterly: "Dong Sheng's appointment has been completed, and the secretary is forbidden to go with him, so he can only share the worries of the king, how can he have a heart of assassination?" Besides, border defense is urgent, and it must not be negligent......"

Before Ge Mingwei could finish this series of rambling words, the prince lowered his face and interrupted him: "Mr. Ge, you are also of the same mind as Gong Chen, why are you so pedantic?" The leaf thief's new policy is tantamount to what the Liu Party did back then, does he want his father to be controlled by others again? If you say so, just let Dong Sheng not go to the border and see how poisonous this king's strategy is! ”
