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

Ye Xuan discovered that Lin Jing had great resentment towards the emperor, but he had never revealed this in front of him before.

For a moment, he actually felt that Lin Jing was also blaming him, after all, he did not help him take good care of his family.

And because of the money he gave, those greedy beasts took advantage of Lin Jing's wife and children, making them suffer.

"Lin Jing, if you have any dissatisfaction, you might as well tell me. Although we haven't seen each other for decades, the friendship we had when we were young is not fake. I am willing to understand your thoughts and help you untie the knot in your heart."

"What do you mean? Ahem, did you misunderstand?" When Lin Jing heard Ye Xuan's words, he couldn't help but look at Ye Xuan in surprise.

Facing his serious look, Lin Jing felt his throat itchy and couldn't help coughing a few times.

After pouring him a glass of water, Chen Changli immediately glanced at Ye Xuan. Seeing that he looked worried about Lin Jing, he said, "Regarding Lord Lin's matter, I think I can also help."

"That's not necessary." Lin Jing took the teacup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. He felt much more comfortable and then he firmly rejected Chen Changli.

He wanted to settle accounts with some of the beasts in his home, but this matter could be big or small. Ye Xuan was willing to cooperate, so he pretended to persuade him.

Then it would be enough to let Ye Xuan teach those beasts a lesson. There was no need to get Chen Changli involved, otherwise those beasts would end up in a desperate situation.

Lin Jing still had a lot of things to do, so he was not willing to let these people cause a fight to the death and waste his time.

"You don't have to get involved in this." Ye Xuan glanced at Lin Jing, then said to Chen Changli, "Those people in the Lin family are parasites. Lin Jing wants me to make a fuss so that he can use my hands to clean up all these parasites."

"You are a first-rank general. Although you had some contact with Lin Jing in the Western Regions and the relationship between the two of you is pretty good, if you get involved in this kind of thing, I'm afraid you'll get criticized."

"The Sixth and Ninth Princes are still eyeing you covetously. If you cause any controversy, His Majesty will definitely think too much. Other officials with ulterior motives will also take this opportunity to add insult to injury and bring you to ruin."

When Ye Xuan said this, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the emperor's unclear attitude towards Chen Changli.

"Although His Majesty does not intend to use you, your presence can deter some villains, so before the matter is settled, His Majesty must also hope that you can stay safely in Luoyang City."

"But His Majesty is old, and he is thinking about the Phoenix Gu, so how can he pay extra attention to you? Therefore, when some officials join hands, you are no match for them."

After saying that, Ye Xuan was silent for a while before continuing.

"Rather than being in a passive position because of their ulterior motives, it is better to abandon everything completely, so that you can do something under the nose of His Majesty."

Chen Changli smiled bitterly and said, "I know that His Majesty has been sending people to keep an eye on me. I have also tried to deceive those people and prevent them from noticing my every move. But these people are very good at hiding. Although I have found them, I have no way to deceive their sight."

"I had no choice but to have my people disguise themselves as me to divert their attention, and then go out and do something."

After a pause, Chen Changli looked up at Ye Xuan and said with a slightly serious expression: "My method does work, but your majesty's people are not useless. They will soon realize what I have done."

"So His Majesty told me his thoughts candidly. After I figured out his thoughts, I had to give up some of my plans and acted in a law-abiding manner."

"Lord Ye, our emperor is very suspicious, and his methods are endless, but I have never experienced them myself, so sometimes I have the courage to deal with his majesty."

"But all the civil and military officials were personally selected by His Majesty. How could they have such courage? Your Majesty is arbitrary and overbearing. These officials should know His Majesty's temperament very well. How dare they tease His Majesty's beard?"

The reason why Chen Changli expressed such doubts was that he felt that the actions of some officials were too obvious, and it felt as if they were doing it on purpose, with the purpose of helping the emperor to lure out some people.

"It's only been one day. Who knows which officials are on the same side as Your Majesty and which officials appear to be loyal to Your Majesty but have actually long since betrayed Your Majesty?"

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and continued speaking calmly with a smile.

"I'm afraid that many people will not be able to sleep tonight. They will gather together to discuss things like we do, but they will not be able to come to a conclusion in a short period of time."

"Although the Sixth and Ninth Princes are coming with great momentum and are unstoppable, as if they are going to capture Luoyang City and officially ascend the throne, there is only one throne, and the two princes are fighting for it."

"If they want to decide the winner, they have to stalemate for a period of time, and this period of time is when the civil and military officials really place their bets. The rest of the time is just for them to wait and see."

"So tonight's excitement is just a flash in the pan. Starting from tomorrow night, they will restrain themselves and concentrate on doing their job for Your Majesty, and strive to convince Your Majesty of their loyalty."

Ye Xuan accompanied the emperor through the fight for the throne, and the late emperor was even more suspicious than the emperor himself.

Ye Xuan lived in fear and trepidation under the control of the late emperor.

Therefore, he clearly knew how difficult and terrifying the fight for the throne was back then. The current fight for the throne is not even a drop in the bucket compared to what it was back then.

Most of the civil and military officials who had experienced such a struggle for succession like him had already died, and a small number of them were promoted after the emperor ascended the throne.

Even with the advice of their family elders, they still felt nothing about what happened back then. Although they could still feel the emperor's suspicion and knew how difficult it was to live under his rule, they did not think that the emperor would be as crazy as the previous emperor.

They gathered together tonight to discuss things without any concealment. They wanted to communicate with the whole family, but they also wanted to test the emperor.

"They have a lot on their minds. If possible, we can spend more time interacting with them and understand some things from their words and actions."

When Lin Jing heard Ye Xuan's words, his brows unconsciously frowned.

He had some guesses about how the civil and military officials would react, but he didn't expect Ye Xuan to say that.

He had never thought that the civil and military officials would take this opportunity to test the emperor's mind, but when he thought of those old foxes, he felt that there was great potential for this matter and quickly gave suggestions.

Ye Xuan disagreed: "Contacting them will only make us seem like we have the same ideas as them."

Chen Changli agreed: "Lord Lin, although His Majesty is unwilling to use you, your achievements in the Western Regions are enough to leave a mark in his mind. He will not allow you to have any contact with other officials unless he personally orders you to do so."
