There is a dragon

"Why didn't you say something like this earlier?"

As the emperor with the highest status in Wei, he had no idea that such a shocking thing happened under his nose.With a sullen face, Ye Jingshu asked sternly, and the surroundings became so quiet that one could hear the sound of breathing.

Wang He trembled even more: "I thought it would be solved soon, after all, this is not the first time..."

When the old national teacher was there, many palace people disappeared. At that time, the old national teacher reported to the late emperor that he suspected that some palace people had stolen, and even dealt with a group of palace people for this.The former emperor passed away, perhaps to meet the new owner of this palace, not many people here paid attention to it, and more palace people disappeared until recently.

Wang He's eyes are full of worry, more and more palace people are missing, even those who have already left the palace cannot be avoided, and the rumors behind the scenes are getting stronger and stronger, he doesn't know where those rumors come from Yes, but he waited on His Majesty day and night, knowing in his heart that these matters had nothing to do with His Majesty!

Before Ye Jingshu promoted him, he had been in the lower position for many years, and he knew better that the little people pay more attention to the immediate interests, and if the upper echelon does not take action... the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest, this sentence is not just words.

"I implore Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Wang He nodded and hit the ground loudly.

The psychic national teacher once lived in a haunted palace, but he ignored it and moved away when he knew it was haunted.

Ye Jingshu sneered: "In this world, there are no ghosts and gods. I don't believe in them. Don't spread the word to those of you below. I will naturally send someone from the old master to investigate."

Wang He stood up in panic: "Your Majesty, be careful, don't let people enter there at will - those who go in and those who can come out are not normal."

If it cannot come out, no one dares to guess what the consequences will be.

No one dares to approach the palace in the northeast corner now. The rumors of ghosts are well known to the people in the palace, and some people say that because Ye Jingshu is not in the right position, he is not an orthodox king, and cannot suppress this evil spirit, which makes the ghosts more and more powerful. .

——After all, everyone knows that Ye Jingshu entered the capital suddenly and forced his troops to break into the former emperor's palace. If there is nothing tricky in it, who would believe it?

16 years ago...

16 years ago, the whole family of the Shen family was wiped out, Qin Yan left the palace, and returned to Qin after thousands of miles. At that time, the old master moved into the Zhaixing Building, and there were constant disappearances in the palace, and Shenxian San was even more popular...

Tightening his fingers, Ye Jingshu swung a sword suddenly. This sword was caught off guard, with the aura of wind and clouds. When the palace people behind him came back to their senses, the grass and trees behind them had already been cut clean, and they were even more horrified.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

The plopping sound gradually increased, and no one dared to look up at the furious king.

Ye Ruiwen was carried into the palace by people sent by Ye Jingshu.

"Your Majesty..." Ye Ruiwen panted, "Is there something urgent for Xuanchen to enter the palace late at night?"

On this big night, he was ready to go to bed, but he was caught out of the bed, his clothes were not neatly dressed, and he didn't wear a crown, so he went to the audience with disheveled hair.

Ye Jingshu sat on the throne with a sullen face, examining Ye Ruiwen without saying a word.

"His Majesty?"

Ye Ruiwen's heart was pounding. He obviously didn't wear much, but he was sweating in the cold night.

The silent palace was completely silent, only the chiming clock was ticking, and Ye Ruiwen noticed that at some point, all the palace people had retreated, leaving only him and Ye Jingshu.

"The reason why I urgently summoned the emperor in the middle of the night is because there is something I can't figure out, and I asked the emperor to explain it to me."

With one hand resting on the jade seal, Ye Jingshu stared at Ye Ruiwen without blinking: "I have always wondered about one thing. How did Uncle Huang know that I am the one who will inherit the throne?"

In the capital city a year ago, the first emperor was critically ill, unable to get a drop of water, and was drowsy most of the time. Various families were fighting openly and secretly, waiting for the first emperor to ascend the throne.

"Uncle Huang suffers from a leg problem. He has been loyal and loyal for so many years and has been with the late emperor for many years. I think he knows a lot of things. I left Beijing when I was young, and I have no impression of the capital, nor have I received the teachings of the late emperor. The late emperor entrusted me, so the emperor's uncle is so relieved to hand over the country to me?"

Taking a step back, Ye Ruiwen is also from the Ye family, so he hasn't been distracted for so many years?

In terms of talent, Ye Ruiwen is no worse than the princes. Rather than handing it over to someone who doesn't know what kind of person to squander, it is better to replace him.With his prestige over the years, this one is not difficult.

"My mother left the palace many years ago and has not been in contact with Beijing for many years. Does the emperor believe that I am of royal blood?"

As far as his face is concerned, Ye Jingshu's appearance is not quite the same as that of the Central Plains, and he can be seen at a glance as a mixed race.

Qindi is far away from the capital, and it is not impossible for a child to die on the way. Qindi has no concept of loyalty and widowhood, so it is not impossible for Qin Yan to have another child or find another one to impersonate.But the first emperor directly informed the situation in the capital with just one letter, and let him directly enter the palace to ascend the throne, but Ye Ruiwen never stopped him along the way, and even took the lead in kneeling down to worship Ye Jingshu as emperor.

Except for the surprise and disapproval of the aristocratic family, everything went so smoothly.

"Because your majesty is exactly the same as your mother." Ye Ruiwen said after a long time, "I believe that the princess will not make fakes, and she doesn't bother to do such things."

……Indeed it is.

In Ye Jingshu's memory, her mother led all the tribes in Qin by herself. As long as the Shen family in the capital was not mentioned, she would always remain calm and self-reliant.

She is an extremely proud woman, and she has never lowered her head in her life, and she disdains the actions of despicable people.

"Your Majesty was born of the late emperor. There is nothing wrong with that. And I also believe that Your Majesty will manage the land of Qin like a princess, and make this country as prosperous as the land of Qin."

"I didn't expect the emperor's uncle to be so trusted and respected by my mother. My mother has a spirit in the sky. I am gratified to think about it."

"The princess is magnificent and capable, and I cannot help but admire him." Ye Ruiwen bowed his head, feeling very emotional.

Back then, the beauty was unparalleled in the world, and she came from the distant Qin land. Unlike this elegant and gentle girl from a family full of capital, she carried a long sword with a heroic spirit, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Uncle Emperor..." Ye Jingshu stared at Ye Ruiwen who was on the ground, his voice was so cold that it could break through ice, "How did Uncle Emperor know that mother is no longer alive? Back then, I never leaked any news to Beijing. "

The chiming bell made a small sound, but it was deafening in Ye Ruiwen's ears.

He lowered his head, cold sweat dripped from his temples drop by drop, forming small pits the size of beans on the floor.

Even the first emperor only learned the news that Qin Yan was no longer alive from Ye Jingshu before his death, and Ye Ruiwen was waiting outside the palace at that time.Ye Jingshu never told anyone that Qin Yan had passed away.Jingzhong also thought that Ye Jingshu was the emperor, and Qin Di was still in Qin Yan's hands, and secretly lamented that she had a good life, staying away from the capital to escape the bloody storm and finally reaping the fruits of victory.

Qin Yan hated the first emperor, and before he died, Ye Jingshu was not allowed to report, and he was asked to stay in Qin for the rest of his life and not allowed to go out, and he was even more unwilling to admit that the first emperor was Ye Jingshu's biological father.

After Ye Jingshu became an adult, Qin Yan reported that the land of Qin should be under the control of Ye Jingshu, and the former emperor agreed to make Ye Jingshu King of Qin, which led everyone to think that Qin Yan took the initiative to give up the power to Ye Jingshu.In fact, it was not the case. At that time, she was already dying, and soon after, she left depressed.

Ye Ruiwen's voice was hoarse: "Your Majesty, as expected... She was raised by the princess, and she is exactly the same as her."

Seemingly informal, but in fact he is as meticulous as a hair, caressing to the point of death, and can turn his face if he disagrees, but he has a temper that is not right about things and people, and insists on fairness and justice in his heart.

Just saying that the news of Qin Yan's death has not been made public is an extra layer of protection for herself - Qin Yan is Ye Jingshu's mother, if something happens to Ye Jingshu in Beijing, she will definitely not let it go.

"Back then, I was the one who sent the imperial edict to the king. After sending it, I didn't leave immediately. Instead, I stayed in Qin. It didn't take long before I heard that there was something wrong. I went to ask to see him, but was driven away. I came out. Not long after, I saw you going out of the funeral..." Ye Ruiwen slowly recalled, "After the funeral was over, I left Qin, but I didn't hear any news, so I knew you blocked it."

The first emperor hadn't been in touch with Qin Yan for many years. As long as Qin Di didn't say anything, he wouldn't know about it.

"I just know a few years more than the first emperor." Ye Ruiwen pursed his lips, and slowly adjusted, "Besides that, I am no different from him."

"No difference?"

Ye Ruiwen smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, if you want to know anything, just ask, don't expose your scars."

"My mother's departure from the palace seems to be related to the Shen family's affairs. I know why?"

"The Shen family..." Ye Ruiwen paused, and suddenly remembered, "This is how the late emperor used this to let you enter the capital?"

Unconsciously, the hand that was playing with Yuxi also stopped, Ye Jingshu sat up straight: "It seems that the Shen family's destruction of the family is really hidden."

Ye Ruiwen snorted: "The Shen family... The Shen family's vain attempt to spy on the sky has caused disasters and attracted fire from the sky. No matter they are old or young, they are all gone." Seeing Ye Jingshu's unwillingness to believe it, he added, "This is the sky. After that, all the people and things related to the Shen family will also disappear."

As the number one mechanical family in the Great Wei Dynasty, the Shen family had many ties to the Ministry of Industry, but after the fire of the Shen family, many officials of the Ministry of Industry also died one after another, which made the Ministry of Industry, which was originally not so good, even more insignificant.

"Guo Tian?" Ye Jingshu frowned, it was the first time he heard such a statement, "Who said this?"

"Old teacher."
