Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Ye Jingyu's eyes suddenly darkened and he looked at Song Xie coldly.

"Who told General Song that it was Concubine Yao who hurt me?"

Song Xie is a typical person with a simple mind and well-developed limbs. He said without thinking: "This news came from the palace. Everyone knows it. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

Ye Jingyu snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "If you dare to fabricate the truth like this, you are treating me like nothing. If you find out who is the heir, I will not take mercy lightly."

Song Xie still said stubbornly: "As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. The emperor should catch that witch as soon as possible to set the record straight!"

Ye Jingyu's eyes turned cold and he said sternly: "You are just a hearsay person, yet you dare to come here and bark at me. Do you still need to teach me what to do?"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Song Xie was frightened and knelt down with a plop.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am thinking of your Majesty's safety."

Ye Jingyu was furious: "You still dare to quibble. Come here, pull Song Xie out and punish the thirty-year-old boss. If anyone dares to speak about this again, he will be beaten to sixty-five."

Guan Mengting's eyes changed slightly, and he took a step forward: "The emperor is seriously injured, so don't get angry. General Song always speaks freely. I also asked the emperor to forgive General Song for speaking out. He really did it for the emperor's safety. and the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

He changed the topic and said: "Since the Emperor was not stabbed by Concubine Yao, then who was it?"

Ye Jingyu said coldly: "I don't know, it was a masked man who hurt me."

Guan Mengting squinted his eyes and asked, "Has the emperor seen him?"

Ye Jingyu smiled coldly and said: "Isn't it your duty to find out the assassin? If you ask me about such a trivial matter, what use do I have for you?"

Guan Mengting laughed dryly and said, "I'm already investigating."

Ye Jingyu's eyes were condensed, and there was a chill inside.

"The results of it?"

Guan Mengting hurriedly bowed and said: "The veteran is supervising the city patrol, and Marshal Guan and King Jing's Red Flame Soldiers are also tracking down the assassins. A three-pronged approach, I believe there will be news soon, but there is one thing that the veteran doesn't know whether to do. It’s time to say.”

Ye Jingyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Say."

Guan Mengting glanced at Ye Jingyao and said: "I'm afraid it will take some time for the emperor to recover, but he has to go to court this time. The old minister thought that one person was elected to be in charge temporarily so that he could keep abreast of the trends in the court at all times."

Ye Jingyu closed his eyes and said nothing.

Guan Mengting immediately winked at the Minister of Rites.

The Minister of Rites took a step forward and said: "I thought that King Anping had been away from the imperial mausoleum for many days and should return to the court. Now he can share the emperor's worries."

Ye Jingyao curled his lips, clasped his fists and said, "My brother is willing to do his best to handle state affairs for the emperor. The emperor can rest in peace and cultivate himself."

Ye Jingyu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his smile full of sarcasm.

These people no longer want to hide their thoughts.

If Ye Jingyao is allowed to return to court, the court will be in chaos.

As long as he was breathing, this was impossible.

Ye Jingyu slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Minister of Rites.

"Su Huan, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was originally your subordinate, but he was assassinated at home for no reason. The minister did not cooperate with the city inspection department to track down the murderer, but instead recommended talents to me. Ye Jingyao is my younger brother. Is it true that I know him well? Isn’t it better than Master Shangshu?”

Upon hearing the name Su Huan, the Minister of Rites knelt down in a hurry.

He kowtowed repeatedly and said, "I have assisted Concubine Ling in taking care of Mr. Su's funeral. The murderer is also being traced. I recommend the prince because I really think he is qualified."

Ye Jingyu turned his attention to Ye Jingyao, sighed slightly and said: "It's not that I don't want to use King Anping, it's just that my younger brother is too weak. In the past, I ordered him to go to Jiangwu to fight the bandits with the Northern Marquis. He suddenly fell ill, and I couldn't bear to see that the prince's expression was even worse than mine."

Ye Jingyao's face showed a hint of joy, and he said quickly: "I have recovered a long time ago. I promise to help the emperor manage the government affairs."

Ye Jingyu was a little surprised.

"Oh? Emperor brother, are you really doing well?"

Ye Jingyao thought he was going to spit, so he couldn't help but said excitedly: "Of course, I am so active now that I can kill a cow without any problem."

Ye Jingyu nodded.

"Very good. The Marquis of the North is quite lonely at Tonggu Pass, so I will order you to rush eight hundred miles away and rush to Tonggu Pass immediately to keep the Marquis of the Beifang company."

Ye Jingyao almost lost his breath and leaned over, gritting his teeth and said: "You..."

Ye Jingyu raised his eyes slightly and asked with a half-smile, "What? You don't want to go? You should have left the capital a month ago. I have shown mercy by letting you stay here for so long."

Ye Jingyao gritted his back teeth hard, damn, I didn't expect to be defeated by Ye Jingyu here.

Who would go to that hellish place in Jiangwu? Compared with face, the head is more important.

Ye Jingyao said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I suddenly feel dizzy again."

Before he finished speaking, the man fell down with his arms stretched out.

Qin Haiqiu and Han Shi looked at each other, with smiles on their lips.

As expected of the emperor they were optimistic about, how could such a trick escape his eyes.

Ye Jingyu glanced at the ministers and said quietly: "What happened at court these two days?"

Qin Haiqiu hugged the wat board and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, five sluices and three reservoirs have been built now, which has proved the strength of Concubine Yao's concrete, and water has been diverted into the canals. Many people have returned to their homes, and are preparing to Farming again.”

Han Shi also said happily: "The crops in the fields are growing very well. I believe we will be able to harvest the second season in the near future."

The others also talked about some trivial matters. Although the emperor was half-reclined on the bed, Long Wei was still there, so it was no different from the usual morning court.

Li Defu had already received the memorial from the ministers, and the other courtiers who wanted to speak for Ye Jingyao did not dare to say any more, for fear that if they offended the emperor with any words, they would be sent to Tonggu Pass.

Ye Jingyu signaled Li Defu to put the memorial aside and said to the Minister of War: "Will there be any messages coming back from Tonggu Pass in the near future?"

The Minister of War said respectfully: "No, I think there is no shortage of supplies."

He hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's just that Mr. Chen feels that no news may not be good news. I have been in a state of confusion these past few days and it is difficult to put my mind down."

Ye Jingyu nodded slightly.

"You can write a letter to ask about the situation at Tonggu Pass."

Then he said softly: "If there is nothing else, just kneel down."

The ministers looked at each other, then knelt down and left.

After they left, Li Defu hurried over and asked.

"The emperor suddenly said so many words, are you tired?"

Ye Jingyu leaned on the soft pillow, his eyebrows slowly frowning.

"I'm not tired, I'm just worried...worried...that's all. Please step back."
