Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chen Changli could keenly sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere in Luoyang City. If someone lit a fire in it, it was possible that the entire Luoyang City would be burned to ashes.

He couldn't help but feel uneasy, but his mind told him that this uneasy atmosphere was due to opium.

If he wanted the atmosphere to return to what it was before, he had to take advantage of this time to cooperate with the emperor and get rid of all those problematic people.

But if he really did that, he would be helping the emperor eliminate dissidents.

The emperor was autocratic and tyrannical by nature, so he got rid of a group of restless people. No matter what ideas the remaining people had, they would blindly agree with him, making the court his one-man show.

When there is only one voice left in the court, the emperor is no different from a king who has lost his country.

If he doesn't want to become a citizen of a fallen country, he has to find another way and not let the emperor make decisions on his own.

"Even if I thought of this, I have no way to implement it, and I will have enemies all over the court."

Chen Changli's reason told him what to do, but his emotions rejected it.

It's just because the emperor's actions at this moment do seem inappropriate, but for those who have ulterior motives, the emperor's actions will make them fall into despair.

In order to survive, they will rise up in resistance, and then be liquidated by the emperor, restoring a bright future for the people of Luoyang City.

Chen Changli was not a child of aristocratic family who received a careful education. He considered himself a farmer since he was young.

Even though his outstanding abilities earned him the position of general, he never felt that he was superior to others.

Therefore, the people are very important in his heart, and when he has the ability, he is naturally willing to do what he can for the people.

Now the emperor's behavior is beneficial to most of the people. After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Changli naturally leans towards the people.

He sighed slightly and said, "You all have to blame for everything. Your Majesty cannot be blamed."

"What are you mumbling about?" Ye Xuan walked in with his men and heard Chen Changli's words. He was so shocked that he almost died and raised his voice.

Chen Changli's heartbeat suddenly soared when he heard this. When he saw that the person coming was Ye Xuan, he calmed down and said calmly: "It's just something I felt."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan suspected that he had just heard hallucination, but Chen Changli and he were in the same boat. No matter how much resentment Chen Changli had towards the emperor, even if he heard something, he would pretend not to hear it.

Ye Xuan cleared his throat and changed the subject: "Lin Jing arrested a lot of people who were fanning the flames. Most of them were Wulan's spies, and a small number of them had some connection with the remnants of the previous dynasty. I suspect that these few people were related to Liu Yaoyao."

When Chen Changli heard him mention the serious matter, he immediately straightened his attitude and said, "Princess An Qing is trapped in the palace by His Majesty. There are many people guarding her. Even if she makes any unusual moves, her orders cannot be transmitted out of the palace."

"Unless His Majesty intends to use her, he would not let her order out of the palace. But His Majesty was concerned about the Phoenix Gu before. He wanted to get the poison masters under Princess An Qing and let them refine the Phoenix Gu."

"For this reason, he kept a close eye on Princess An Qing and would never allow her to do anything he couldn't tolerate under his nose."

“So I guess those Wulan spies were mobilized by Liu Yaoyao. As for the evidence, it is naturally that Prince Rong is not seriously ill these days.”

Chen Changli turned the conversation to Prince Rong, his tone was extremely light but revealed an affirmation that was hard to ignore.

Ye Xuan coughed and nodded in agreement, "Although Prince Rong pretends to be sick, his ambitions cannot be hidden from others, because he has long been spoiled by His Majesty, so he will not have any patience."

"No one discovered him before, but that was because he stayed in Prince Rong's mansion for many years and never went anywhere. Apart from His Majesty and the imperial physician, no one saw him."

"When he appears in front of people, anyone with a little bit of common sense will find out that he is wrong. I think the reason why His Majesty indulges him is to see how far he can go."

"They arranged for him to stay in the General's Mansion and used Xu Qinglu as an excuse. I'm afraid they knew he wouldn't be able to accomplish anything great. They wanted to trap him in one place first so that the evil spirits in his mansion could jump out!"

Ye Xuan had no impression of Prince Rong at all. If the emperor had not been thinking about him all the time, who would have known that there was such a person like him in the royal family.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that Prince Rong did this on purpose, and the emperor guessed his thoughts and deliberately indulged him.

"Your Majesty may have known that Prince Rong could not accomplish anything. Xu Qinglu's appearance and death were just in time. Otherwise, Prince Rong would probably still have to pretend to be sick at home."

All kinds of thoughts were running through Ye Xuan's mind, but he was teasing Prince Rong and didn't take him seriously at all.

After all, no matter how deeply rooted Prince Rong's reputation as a sickly person is in people's hearts, the current situation is changing rapidly, and the emperor's attitude is as changeable as the weather in June.

Anyone with brains among the civil and military officials can figure out Prince Rong's matter if they think about it in their spare time. Otherwise, why would the emperor let him guard the traitor's body? Isn't it obvious that he wants to label him a traitor?

This is what Ye Xuan thought in his heart and said this to Chen Changli, and he even comforted Chen Changli in the end.

"No matter how related you are to Xu Qinglu, you are not the same kind of people. His Majesty knows this very well, otherwise he would not have entrusted this matter to you."

"So you have to relax and don't let Xu Qinglu's matter get you into trouble. As for Prince Rong, he is no longer stable. You just need to force him to jump off the wall and let His Majesty deal with him. There is no need to put yourself in the vortex and be remembered by others."

The reason why Ye Xuan said so many words in one breath today was also because of the confidence brought by "Afurong".

He knew that in the end, the 'opium' incident would allow the emperor to gain a lot of money and purge some people who were just sitting there doing nothing.

The reason he was advising Chen Changli now was because Chen Changli was confused about the future. In order to make Chen Changli's mind clear, he naturally had to let Chen Changli remember some things and make preparations in private.

Chen Changli understood what Ye Xuan meant by that, and knew that he was a little obsessed. He immediately adjusted his mood and said with a calm smile: "Although Prince Rong is a prince of a different surname, he is also a member of the royal family. Even if I have gained some trust from His Majesty, I dare not squander it all."

"So Prince Rong can be sick if he wants to, and I am also happy to be more cautious when he stays in the general's mansion, so as not to arouse his suspicion and cause trouble for myself."

"You're right to think so." Ye Xuan smiled happily.

Chen Changli shook his head and said, "That's what I thought before, and that's what I told the children. But with the emergence of some spies, I felt a little uneasy. After all, most people are ignorant and stupid, and they can easily be sown apart by others."

"Liu Yaoyao clearly knows this, which is why she dared to stir up trouble in Luoyang City. Fortunately, Lin Jing and I discovered it early, otherwise if the people caused trouble, those greedy civil and military officials would have seized this opportunity to throw dirty water on us."

"Even if we can defend ourselves, it will be too much for us to defend ourselves, because 'Afurong' may have linked Liu Yaoyao with some officials. If they use shady tactics, we will be unable to defend ourselves."
