Growth strategy

Li Ke returned to the main hall with a smile on his face, opened the curtain, carefully took off his shoes and went to bed, hugging Jiang Yufei in his arms.

Jiang Yufei felt a warm body approaching, woke up in a daze, and called softly, "Jiang Ke." Li Ke was still smiling, but the smile was more gentle, and replied softly, "Well, I am here."

Jiang Ke is not here, but I am.

Jiang Yufei seemed relieved and closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Li Ke lay down on her side, sniffed the fragrance in her hair, and closed her eyes.

Li Ke lightly held Jiang Yufei's wrist, put two fingers on her wrist, her pulse was steady.

Li Ke carefully painted her wrist, stroking it inch by inch. Finally, he seemed unable to bear it anymore, and hugged Jiang Yufei even tighter. Jiang Yufei groaned slightly as if she was uncomfortable, and frowned slightly, but she didn't wake up.

The gorgeous and luxurious palace is full of rare antiques, the ground paved with high-quality jade, whether it is tables, chairs, and utensils are all exquisite.Light the good incense again, and the purple is dense, filling the palace for a long time, if there is no fragrance, take a light breath, and the whole body will feel comfortable.

This fragrance has an extraordinary origin, Wangyouxiang.This fragrance can weave the most beautiful dreams, but it is taken from past memories, and it is forgotten when you wake up.

On the other side, the Imperial Study Room.

Ye Li couldn't calm down his anger, he swung his sleeves and swept the memorial off the table, indirectly sending a man to the bed of his beloved woman, even a man can't stand it.

The person kneeling below, even though the lights were dim, a scar across his fair face was still very obvious.

"Your Majesty, calm down." The head teacher said, his voice was flat, as if he was speaking casually.

Ye Li frowned, trying to suppress the anger and jealousy in his heart, and asked, "How is things going?"

"Li Ke has already..." The class leader seemed to pause for a moment before continuing: "I have contacted His Royal Highness, and it is not clear what we talked about specifically."

"I see, you go down first." Ye Li waved his hand to let the leader down, and the leader kowtowed and retreated.

A person quietly appeared in the imperial study room, hidden in the darkness, wrapped in black cloth, only showing a pair of ordinary eyes, if you don't observe carefully, you can't find his appearance.

"What was the result?" Ye Li asked lightly.

"His Royal Highness returned to the East Palace alone. He did not invite anyone, and the room was not lit, but His Royal Highness did not go to bed." After reporting the results, the man in black disappeared without leaving a trace.

Ye Li raised his head and rubbed the center of his brows, exhaled lightly, only feeling the lingering tiredness.

Jiang Tang hated Jiang Yufei so much, he would not seize the opportunity presented to him, he really was an idiot, could it be that he was still thinking about the love between mother and child?Indecisive, this country is difficult to hand over to him.

But it doesn't matter, for Jiang Yufei, only the Jiang family and Jiang Ke care about it, the others are of estimated value, and Jiang Tang is just a pawn in her heart to help her revive the family.

Thinking of this, Ye Li felt sore, no matter how he tried to please her, she would be dismissed, and he was not important.

Ye Li closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

I can kill Jiang Ke, or I can completely destroy the Jiang family and smash her pride. From then on, she can only rely on him to live.

Now he has to think about what to do. Since Concubine Rou left the harem, the power in the harem has been difficult to balance, and there have been many conflicts among the upstart faction in the previous dynasty, and the aristocratic faction has faintly gained the upper hand.

If the family faction occupies the main position, it will not be far from his fall from the throne.

Jiang Yufei's actions have sped up recently, and it will not be more than three years before she leaves the palace. Once he connects with the old forces, he will not be far from death.

An uprising with her prestige is also possible.

Ye Lijing's analysis of the current situation seems to be unfavorable to him. After all, once Concubine Rou leaves the palace, he will suffer a lot.

Second Highness Jiang Chao may support one or two.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court." Eunuch Cao said outside the imperial study.

Ye Li got up and asked the front hall to walk.

Regardless of the rank of the official residence, the officials arrived relatively early, sat in the side hall, and talked about state affairs in twos and threes.

Suddenly everyone quieted down, and Gu Chengfeng, the Minister of the Household Department, immediately walked in, the corners of his mouth raised to salute everyone, no matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone returned the salute with a smile.

From the beginning of the early dynasty, Ye Li asked Eunuch Cao to read the imperial decree and appointed Gu Chengfeng as the left minister. It seems that the rumors a few days ago are true.

Gu Chengfeng obeyed his orders, and it was difficult for others to see what he was thinking from his face.

Xiao Yi only raised her eyebrows and glanced at him.

Cai Xiang didn't object aloud either, his white eyebrows seemed to be painted on his face, lifeless and motionless.

"Please play if you have anything to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do."

"Chen Youzuo" suddenly an official came forward to ask for a performance. He was about the age of standing, and he was a literary talent.

Wencai was ranked fourth in the imperial examination that year, and entered the Imperial Academy. He was good at dancing with long sleeves, and he had a good career.

"I heard that a few days ago, an opera singer entered the palace to sing, but she still hasn't left the palace. The concubine in the harem is so close to a foreigner. I really don't care about the emperor's prestige. I ask you to punish this person with a stick as a punishment."

Wencai said loudly.

"The minister seconded the proposal." But after a few minutes, one-third of the officials agreed. Seeing this situation, Xiao Yi's heart tightened. This was an attack on Jiang Yufei. Xiao Yi couldn't help but look at Gu Chengfeng, but she saw Gu Chengfeng The face is flat, free from this matter.

"This..." Cai Xiang stepped forward hesitantly and said: "I heard that this person is now living in Fengqi Palace, do you want to ask the empress for instructions?"

"Cai Xiang's words are wrong. The Empress, as a role model for women in the world, has done something that goes against the norm, and the rule is about to be abolished." Wen Cai retorted, with a particularly loud tone.

Xiao Yi's complexion finally turned ugly, this article has no fear, no one supports him so he doesn't believe it, but he can't speak about it at all.

However, the court was completely silent, and no one seconded it.

Wencai also began to panic, what's going on with this situation, it's hard to catch the queen in the wrong place, why is there no support from the upstart faction.

Wen Cai asked Cai Xiang for help, Cai Xiang bowed his head and said nothing, just stood there, seemingly not seeing Wen Cai.

Shuzi lacks and seeks!

Ye Li seems to have regained his senses now, and his eyes lightly fell on Wen Cai, who is very young compared to the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and there is still ambition that can't be concealed between his brows, but unfortunately, he doesn't know that he is being used by others.

Ye Li said casually, "What's your name?"

"My surname is Wen, and my name is Cai." Wen Cai said cautiously, secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that he was talking about His Majesty's heart.

Heh, the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty are so spineless, but they are just an unfavored waste queen.The emperor probably wants to abolish it, too.

"Absurdly talk about the queen, do you put me in your eyes?"

Wen Cai's face turned pale, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees, dragged down by the guards.

Ye Li's eyes casually slid over the courtiers, how many people here are loyal to the court and him.

Cai Xiang, the people he personally promoted all have double-mindedness, and they are even more worried about others.

Gu Chengfeng and the Gu family don't like him.

Jiang Tang, I'm afraid he always wants to replace it.

The minds of the other princes and courtiers were even more detours, and everyone was trying to seek benefits.

Ye Li got up and left with a flick of his sleeves.

"Back to court" Eunuch Cao's high-pitched voice rang out, and all the officials retreated from court one by one.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites caught up with Gu Chengfeng, and sighed, "The young man in the past is now an official worshiper, but Mr. Gu is really talented and outstanding."

Mr. Chen's words are quite sincere. He hasn't been promoted in the position of Minister of Rites for ten years, but Gu Chengfeng has been promoted again and again in the past ten years. This kind of reliance on family relations is indeed incomparable.

It's just that when the Gu family got up, the aristocratic family would naturally be divided into two factions. The Chen family was planning to establish a good relationship with the Gu family first.

Gu Chengfeng turned his head, "Master Chen." Chen Shangshu waved his hand, not daring to be the one.

"Gu Xiangke would like to go to the Spring Breeze Tower and have a drink with me."

"But it's disrespectful."

The two chatted casually and headed towards Chunfenglou.
