After hearing this, Zhang Gaoyi raised his lips slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Oh? I see. It seems that we have thought of this for you. I hope you won't regret what you said today."

After saying this, he patted Jia Mingyu's shoulder meaningfully, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

At the same time, Princess Fuxia's Mansion welcomed a special guest - Marquis Fengyang.

Ye Zifen could never have imagined that Zhang Gaoyi had just mentioned this person to her yesterday, and today this Marquis of Fengyang actually came to her on his own initiative.

In fact, the fact that Marquis Fengyang could endure until today to come to the house was already his limit.

Yesterday, Jia Mingyu revealed to Marquis Fengyang the advice given to him by the general and Princess Fuxia, that is, to go to other places with Old Master Song and Princess Fuxia to build a college.

When Marquis Fengyang heard this proposal, he thought it was ridiculous.

After all, he was the Fourth Prince's right-hand man, but now he was to be transferred away from the capital to do the thankless task of building an academy. Naturally, he was extremely unwilling to do so.

However, Jia Mingyu immediately added, "Perhaps this is the will of the current emperor! After all, they are the most trusted people around the emperor. How could they say such a thing casually?"

These words were like a sharp sword, deeply hurting Marquis Fengyang's heart.

In fact, for the Fengyang Marquisate, the wisest choice is not to get involved in the vortex of the struggle for the throne.

After all, if you choose the wrong camp, you may face a catastrophic disaster.

However, the Fourth Prince came in person, pushing the Fengyang Marquis' Mansion to the forefront and putting it in a dilemma.

What's worse is that the Fourth Prince actually knows about a fatal mistake that Marquis Fengyang once made.

At that time, Marquis Fengyang led the officials of the Ministry of Works to build the imperial mausoleum for the late emperor. However, some of the building specifications were not fully implemented in accordance with the requirements of the emperor at that time.

This should have been buried deep underground with the burial of the late emperor, becoming an eternal secret.

But it is not known how the Fourth Prince learned about this matter. It is said that he even has solid witnesses and material evidence.

If this matter were to be exposed, Marquis Fengyang would undoubtedly be sentenced to death.

Although Marquis Fengyang himself did not have much ability, the marriages of Marquis Fengyang's Mansion have always been the most enviable in the capital.

The daughters of the Marquis of Fengyang married into various prominent families, and the daughters-in-law they married into the family were also women from various large families.

It can be said that although Marquis Fengyang’s official position was not high, he was an important hub connecting the major families.

Because of this, no matter which force it is, no one is willing to easily become an enemy of Marquis Fengyang.

At this time, Marquis Fengyang was filled with helplessness and distress.

The pressure from the Fourth Prince had already put him under tremendous pressure, and now, even the new forces that had not yet made their stance clear were beginning to come after him.

Although he believed that these two men were quite powerful, one was wealthy and the other had a large army, if he could get their support, his chances of reaching the top would increase by at least 50%.

At the beginning, he also thought about helping the Fourth Prince persuade the two to support him.

However, from recent activities, it can be seen that people are directly following the emperor's arrangements, so he gave up on it.

But I don’t know if the Fourth Prince himself has accepted this reality.

The son admired the general very much and expressed his willingness to give his full support.

After all, their family has been in the military for generations. If his youngest son can restore the family's glory, he will naturally feel extremely gratified.

However, what he never expected was that after getting his youngest son, the other party actually coveted the entire Fengyang Marquis Mansion.

When he thought of the emperor standing behind those two men, Marquis Fengyang couldn't help but fall into deep trouble.

He really had no choice but to rush to meet Princess Fuxia early in the morning.

He wanted to test her attitude personally to see if there was any room for maneuver.

"Alas! I am not a person of outstanding ability, but I still have to face such a difficult problem. When will my sons grow up? I really hope to leave these troubles to them. Why are Princess Fuxia and the general so powerful at such a young age?"

When Princess Fuxia stepped into the front hall, she saw Marquis Fengyang frowning and thinking about something with a sad face.

He seemed so lost in his own thoughts that he didn't even notice her arrival.

At this moment, Ye Zifen coughed lightly, attracting the attention of Marquis Fengyang.

When Marquis Fengyang heard the voice, he immediately stood up and bowed to Ye Zifen.

Even though he was the Marquis of Fengyang and came from a distinguished family, he still had to perform this great ceremony in front of the princess who had already entered the Jade Plate.

At this moment, Ye Zifen was wearing a light and simple dress, looking quite neutral, so no one would think there was anything wrong for a woman to visit Marquis Fengyang.

Perhaps it is because Ye Zifen herself gives people the impression of being someone who can accomplish great things, so people naturally ignore her gender.

Ye Zifen returned a half-bow and invited Marquis Fengyang to take a seat, while Nanny Qi signaled the little maid to bring Marquis Fengyang a cup of hot tea.

After Ye Zifen sat down, she asked, "Could it be that after returning home, your son informed the Marquis of our proposal, and the Marquis was suspicious, so he came to ask in person?"

Marquis Fengyang nodded expressionlessly and replied, "The general suggested that I leave the capital and go to the north to establish an academy. He also said that even Princess Fuxia is involved. I wonder how I can help?"

Ye Zifen did not answer his question directly, but said earnestly: "My Lord, party disputes are of no benefit to the country or the family. Can you give up? Get out of this quagmire."

Marquis Fengyang frowned and said nothing.

Seeing that Marquis Fengyang was unmoved, Ye Zifen continued, "I don't deny that the Fourth Prince is also a very good heir to the throne, but have you ever thought about which of the Emperor's princes is not a dragon among men? Why did Marquis Fengyang choose the Fourth Prince who is neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son?"

When Marquis Fengyang heard this, his eyelids twitched unconsciously.

He sighed in his heart, so that's it! He finally understood why these two young people could be valued by the emperor.

Ever since he supported the Fourth Prince, no one dared to question this issue.

Everyone thought that he wanted to help Marquis Fengyang advance to a higher level, so he took the risk to win the credit of following the dragon.

However, their Fengyang Marquis Mansion has money and connections. As long as he doesn't commit suicide on his own initiative, can't he continue to be the Fengyang Marquis in peace and stability?

Thinking of this, Marquis Fengyang couldn't help but sigh that Princess Fuxia was really insightful!

She saw through the mystery at a glance and asked directly, revealing the answer in one sentence.
