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

As the Minister of Rites, Yang Guangqing seemed to be independent of the six ministries, but in fact he was like an old fox who protected himself well.

When Liu Feng's affairs were exposed, the six departments were shaken. Only Yang Guangqing managed to stabilize himself and protect his people.

He was a very cautious man and knew something about what the queen did in private.

Now that the queen is dead, and her death was unclear, Yang Guangqing had to wonder what the emperor meant by a lavish burial. Did the queen deserve a lavish burial?

"Your Majesty said it himself that I should bury you with honor. You only need to do as His Majesty said. There is no need to overthink."

Su Dequan couldn't figure out what the emperor meant. He just felt that although the emperor seemed sad about the queen's death, he was actually relieved, otherwise he would not have spared the crown princess' life.

But the word "elaborate burial" was said by the emperor himself. As the emperor's bedside companion, the empress had helped him deal with many dirty things. He should have hoped that the empress's funeral could be properly arranged.

"In any case, you should come up with a charter and ask His Majesty to review it. If His Majesty approves it, you can feel more at ease."

Su Dequan had a good relationship with Yang Guangqing and was happy to give him some advice.

Yang Guangqing sighed, "What you said makes sense, but if the queen is buried with honor, the prince must come back to mourn, and under the current circumstances, I'm afraid the prince won't be able to come back."

Speaking of the prince's funeral, Yang Guangqing looked conflicted. As to why the prince went to the border, these old foxes knew it very well. They also knew that the emperor and his wife did not care much about the prince.

But the queen died suddenly. As the queen's son, how could the prince not come back?

However, Tu Yuanzhou is coming with great force and outstanding fighting ability. Although the prince is not as good as Chen Changli, he is also a rare general.

His going to the border to suppress He He could completely relieve some of the emperor's pressure.

If he came back because of the Queen's matter, wouldn't he allow He He to directly break through the border and go straight into the heart of Dajing?

"Your Majesty has his own ideas about this matter. You don't need to think too much about it." Su Dequan knew what Yang Guangqing was thinking. He comforted him in a gentle tone and returned to the palace.

Yang Guangqing understood Su Dequan's meaning and remained silent for a long time before he began to think about the regulations to be presented to the emperor.

He began to get busy, and other well-informed people guessed something from his busyness and gathered their family members to discuss things.

However, they didn't know what had happened in the palace. After discussing for a long time, they couldn't figure out what had happened. Instead, Ye Xuan noticed their movements.

Ye Xuan stroked his beard and thought, but after a while he remembered something and quickly got up and went to Lin's house.

"Something must have happened in the palace." When Ye Xuan arrived at the Lin family and saw Lin Jing, his expression calmed down. "We will know about this matter tomorrow at the latest. By then, we will be able to get a glimpse of what His Majesty is thinking."

Lin Jing was surprised and asked, "Why do you say that? Could it be that you have anticipated what happened in the palace?"

Ye Xuan teased, "If I could have predicted what happened in the palace, why would I have come to you? I would have been waiting at home for dawn to go to court to find out what happened."

"That's right." Lin Jing also knew that he had misunderstood, and couldn't help but say with a smile, "I need to use my brain more, otherwise it will become rotten. I can't even figure out the simplest things."

Listening to his self-deprecating words, Ye Xuan's expression was very sincere, and his tone was extremely sincere: "If you don't mind the trouble, you can ask me for help."

Lin Jing was choked by these words and almost rolled his eyes at Ye Xuan.

He held back and just picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he gently stroked the edge of the teacup with his fingers, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, Lin Jing finally said, "Is there any movement from Chen Changli's side?"

Ye Xuan nodded and shook his head: "His wife and the Crown Princess made some small moves, but he himself is still as quiet as usual."

"That shouldn't be the case." Lin Jing looked surprised.

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? His Majesty has been honest with him, so he has to behave himself to save his life, otherwise His Majesty's eyes will fall on him."

"That's true, but Chen Changli is not a man who will keep quiet, because there is still a prince who needs him to worry about." Lin Jing's expression became a little serious when he mentioned the prince. "The prince should have reached the border by now, but I don't know what the situation is at the border right now. If all the cities on the border are lost, the prince will be unable to turn the tide and will probably become the target of public criticism."

Ye Xuan clenched his hands, pondered for a moment, and said: "We have to find a way to arrange for some people to leave Luoyang City, otherwise we will all be buried here with His Majesty."

"Do you think I don't want to? But the city gate is heavily guarded, and we have no way to arrange for anyone to get out." Lin Jing's face didn't look good.

When he was in the Western Regions, he wanted to return to Dajing, but after coming back and facing the emperor's ruthlessness, he began to miss the days in the Western Regions.

However, no matter how much he missed it, he didn't want to stay in the Western Regions any longer, because the situation in the world was changing rapidly, and he had to come back to make arrangements for his family.

"Chen Changli should have a way." Ye Xuan said affirmatively.

Lin Jing looked at him in disbelief: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I believe in Chen Changli." Ye Xuan did not explain much, only expressed his trust in Chen Changli.

Lin Jing was stunned and stared at him suspiciously. After a while, he asked, "Didn't you go to Duke Cheng'en's mansion to test Duke Cheng'en and then cooperate with him? Why..."

Ye Xuan interrupted him and said, "Chen Changli's wife has been in contact with the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess has been making small moves. Chen Changli knows this, and Lord Cheng'en is a smart man. He knows what to do to be best for Lord Cheng'en's mansion."

"I went to him just to get a definite answer from him. He knew it very well and gave me a direct answer."

"With his answer, I paid more attention to Chen Changli. Fortunately, Chen Changli did not disappoint me."

"Chen Changli hasn't done anything recently." Listening to Ye Xuan's meaningful words, Lin Jing felt that he could not keep up with his train of thought and became even more confused.

"There are some things you'd better not know." Ye Xuan said meaningfully.

Lin Jing was stunned: "Are you worried that I will hold you back?"

Ye Xuan said unhappily: "How could I have such an idea? Don't speculate about me."

Lin Jing suddenly couldn't grasp Ye Xuan's intention. After a long silence, he said unconvincedly: "Chen Changli is a little fox. You have to be careful when dealing with him, otherwise he will remember you. If you want to work with him to do anything in the future, I'm afraid you will be shackled by him."

Lin Jing has never underestimated Chen Changli.

He just couldn't understand why Ye Xuan dared to go to Chen Changli alone and reached an unspeakable deal with him.

"He's not as narrow-minded as you." Ye Xuan said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Are you so sure?" Lin Jing snorted and asked seriously.

"I believe in the prince, and I also believe in him." Ye Xuan's answer was ambiguous.

When Lin Jing heard this, his emotions almost churned, but soon they turned into a sigh.

Ye Xuan heard his sigh and was silent for a moment before saying, "I know what you are worried about, but things will soon have a result. You just need to wait patiently. There is no need to panic."

Lin Jing did not refute him, but he disagreed. He said sarcastically: "Chen Changli has not made any major moves, so how can the matter come to a conclusion? Unless the queen is dead, Your Majesty wants to take advantage of the queen's death, so that Chen Changli can seize the opportunity to work with you to build a plank road in the open and sneak into Chencang."
