Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space
Chapter 873 The fisherman’s advantage
Ye Xuan was surprised. He thought Chen Changli would continue speaking according to his words, but he didn't expect him to ask him back.
Correcting his attitude, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have some guesses about what you are thinking. As a minister, I cannot take them seriously, otherwise, Your Majesty will abandon me as a useless person."
After he said that, he stared at Chen Changli deliberately. Seeing that he looked calm, as if he had no thoughts in his mind, he couldn't help but put his hand on his lips and coughed.
When Lin Jing heard his cough, he immediately looked at him and saw that his face was red from coughing, as if he was going to cough out all the lesions. He looked at him worriedly.
But Ye Xuan coughed a few times and then stopped. Seeing this, Lin Jing didn't know what he was thinking, so he sighed: "Your Majesty's mind is hard to guess. If we, as ministers, guess his mind, wouldn't it make His Majesty suspect that we are presumptuous and have the intention of treason."
As soon as he said this, Ye Xuan glanced at him, and the melancholy in his eyes was enough to make Lin Jing's heart skip a beat.
Although he guessed that Ye Xuan would worry a lot about his son, he never expected that Ye Xuan would be so depressed about this.
He wanted to comfort Ye Xuan, tell him to stop thinking too much and to concentrate on dealing with the troubles that the emperor might throw at him.
But before he opened his mouth, Ye Xuan said calmly: "We are not the worms in His Majesty's stomach, so we naturally don't know what His Majesty is thinking. But there is one thing we can do, and that is to guess his thoughts through some of His Majesty's actions."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Changli and said with a smile in his voice: "Chen Changli, what do you think?"
"Lord Ye, if you have anything to say, just say it." Chen Changli came to see Ye Xuan because he had some doubts about his and Lin Jing's possible behavior.
Now seeing the two of them flattering each other, as if they had seen through what kind of person the emperor was and were ready to shrink like quails, the more Chen Changli thought about it, the more he felt that these two people had guessed what the emperor was going to do and were planning to do something specious to protect themselves.
Although he had some guesses about what Ye Xuan and the other were going to do, he also knew that he couldn't guess their thoughts for sure. He could only express his attitude and let them reveal some information appropriately.
Ye Xuan understood Chen Changli's thoughts and suddenly realized why the emperor did not intend to use him.
The emperor himself felt guilty about employing a general who was smart and able to guess his intentions. He was afraid that the general would rebel once he got the military power.
When Ye Xuan thought of this, he sneered at the emperor's thoughts.
If Chen Changli had the intention of rebelling, the emperor would not be able to stop him no matter how hard he tried. It would be better for him to find a way to make the best use of this person.
Unfortunately, the emperor was old and confused, so he decided to send the prince to the border and leave General Chen Changli in Luoyang City.
The civil and military officials are not fools, so how could they not guess the emperor's thoughts?
After they knew the emperor's intention, and considering that Chen Changli was close to the prince, they naturally would not help Chen Changli.
However, the emperor's move also vaguely revealed his true thoughts to outsiders. The civil and military officials and the emperor were originally shackled to each other.
Seeing that the emperor was digging his own grave, the civil and military officials who were interested in the matter wanted to obey the emperor's wishes and snatch more power from him.
The emperor must have been aware of the thoughts of these officials, but he could not control them and could only barely control the current situation.
Now the two sides are balanced, but this balance can be easily broken. Ye Xuan saw this at a glance and wanted to persuade the emperor.
But the emperor had been bewitched by the Phoenix Gu and was convinced that it was real. He was not willing to believe him at all and naturally ignored him as a marginal figure.
Ye Xuan guessed the emperor's thoughts and felt both sad and relieved.
He has been staying at home for the past month, trying to avoid the emperor's possible slaughter.
"Since the crown prince went to the border, Lin Jing and I have met with His Majesty a few times, but His Majesty's health seems to be getting worse. That's why he blames us for not bringing back the deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect."
Ye Xuan spoke in a deep voice, his calm and indifferent expression was somewhat obscure, as if the emperor he was talking about had done something bad, which made him dare not easily blame the emperor until now. But if he really didn't say anything, he would feel very uncomfortable and even more depressed.
Chen Changli soon realized this, and after a moment of silence, he said cautiously: "The deputy leader died because he offended Harijula. Harijula is the current king of Wulan. If your majesty is dissatisfied, you can send someone to find Harijula. I believe that according to Harijula's character, she will definitely send an apology to your majesty."
Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Lin Jing laughed loudly for a long time before pointing at Chen Changli and saying, "What kind of temper does Harijula have? You know that if His Majesty really sends someone to look for her, she will be very angry. After all, Harijula is ambitious and has already set her sights on Dajing."
Lin Jing touched his beard and said with a smile, "Hehe is eyeing Dajing covetously. Harijula might try to keep himself out of trouble and then find a way to reap the benefits."
"If Your Majesty cannot convince her to help Dajing, she will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble."
Ye Xuan agreed with Lin Jing's words and said quickly: "I dare not have much contact with such an ambitious woman. Most of His Majesty's people are good-for-nothings. If they run to Harijula, it will only make Harijula more ambitious."
Chen Changli recalled that Harjula had once wanted to cooperate with the crown prince, and calmed down his emotions and said, "Lord Ye specifically mentioned the deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect. Isn't it because he wanted to say that Your Majesty might have learned the truth about the deputy leader's death through Harjula's people? If so, if he is willing, he can get what he wants through Harjula again."
Ye Xuan frowned slightly when he heard this. During the time he stayed in Wulan, he had actually seen through Harijula a long time ago.
Harijula is not only ambitious, but also wants to completely control Wulan, so he sets his sights on Dajing.
Dajing should have been a huge mountain that Harjula could never cross in his lifetime, but Dajing is now facing internal and external troubles, and the strength displayed by the traitor Tu Yuanzhou is even more powerful.
If Harijula feels that Dajing is not in an advantageous position, he will most likely cooperate with Hehe, and then Ulan will become an external threat to Dajing.
However, this matter is easy to understand, but the emperor is not a human being. No matter how worried Ye Xuan is about Dajing's future, he has no good ideas at this moment.
He could only look at Chen Changli with an inexplicable expression, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty is the ruler of the world after all, how can you do this? Besides, he has many people under his command who do some dirty things for him. Instead of hoping that His Majesty will change his mind, you might as well hope that his people are as stupid as pigs and can't accomplish anything great."
