Those days when Mrs. Yazhai

Shen Xi sneakily appeared in Shen Qi's yard.

Shen Xi couldn't help being curious: "What are you doing?"

Shen Xi hurriedly pulled Shen Qi into the house, and did not forget to put the bolt on the door when he got there, so he dared to speak.However, as soon as the words opened, Shen Qi was shocked: "Fourth brother really wants to give up the throne to me?"

It's not that Shen Qi has never thought about this matter, but it's just thinking about it.He felt that Shen Xi was still too young, and it was inappropriate to entrust him with such a heavy burden now.

Shen Qi was very puzzled, he had never mentioned this matter in front of Shen Xi, why would Shen Xi suddenly ask herself this way.

"Why do you ask that?"

Shen Xi looked a bit embarrassed, but after hesitating, he still told the truth: "Lord Yuan always comes to me these days, and he asks me insinuatingly if I want to be emperor. At first I didn't want to talk to him, but today he said that someone sent him I went, and said that it was the fourth brother, you don't want to be the emperor anymore, and you want to give it to me."

Speaking of which, Shen Xi raised his head to look at Shen Qi, and asked in doubt: "Didn't you send him to find me?"

Shen Qi shook his head blankly, and said, "I don't know that Mr. Yuan very well."

Shen Xi frowned, "But Master Yuan is a very nice person, he doesn't seem like someone who would tell such a lie."

Shen Qi stared at the distressed fifth younger brother for a while, then suddenly asked: "Do you know Mr. Yuan very well?"

Shen Xi replied in a daze: "When Father was still alive, he would often tell me which adults in the court were trustworthy, and I would understand after listening more."

Shen Qi suddenly thought: Shen Xi has always been raised as the heir to the throne.

In the final analysis, he actually snatched something that should belong to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi took Shen Qi's hand, and said with a serious face: "Don't worry, fourth brother, I will not listen to Lord Yuan, I will never hurt fourth brother, fourth brother is very suitable to be the emperor."

Shen Qi smiled wryly, rubbed Shen Xi's hand, and said, "Xi Xi doesn't need to comfort me like this, I know in my heart whether it's suitable or not."

After finishing speaking, Shen Qi felt depressed again.There was no smile on his face, and he began to stare quietly at the teapot on the table in a daze.

Shen Xi watched the fourth brother not speak for a long time, and then thought of the rumors outside in recent days, thinking that the fourth brother was worried about those things, so he comforted him: "You don't need to worry about the recent things, Ye Ye With the Prime Minister and General Ye here, everything will be settled."

Looking at Shen Xi's devout eyes, Shen Qi began to think seriously: Should the throne be returned to Shen Xi?

Shen Qi patted Shen Xi's shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Thank you."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the matter between Shen Xi and Jie'er, and hurriedly asked again: "Have you met Jie'er recently?"

Shen Xi slightly shook his head feeling disappointed, and said, "I haven't seen Ke'er recently."

"Why?" Shen Qi asked in surprise.

"I heard that provincial relative Lu Heng always goes to the Prime Minister's Mansion when he comes back."

Shen Xi implied that Ke'er had no time to see him recently because he was busy with Lu Heng.

Shen Qi had just witnessed the emotional entanglement between Zhong Mo and Gu Nanjiu, and now he didn't want to get involved with his fifth younger brother and Ke'er, so he patted Shen Xi on the back encouragingly, and said, "Je'er doesn't like it. Lu Heng, you may have misunderstood something, talk to her carefully next time we meet, and clear up the misunderstanding."

Shen Xi knew that his fourth brother had faced a lot of things in recent days, and he didn't intend to let Shen Qi worry about his affairs anymore, so he didn't say that he saw with his own eyes the happy conversation between Ke'er and Lu Heng, but just nodded obediently. He nodded and left Shen Qi's small courtyard.

After the troublemakers were arrested, the imperial city was really quiet for a few days.

Ye Linjiang's desired effect of killing chickens and monkeys was achieved, and he began to investigate the reasons for the riots among the common people.

The result was no different from what he had guessed.

Mr. Zhao spent a lot of money to send a group of people from the north to the imperial city to make trouble. In the imperial city, Mr. Shang helped to fan the flames, so this farce, which seemed to be seeking justice but actually threatened the emperor, went smoothly. here we go.

When Prime Minister Ye heard the news, he thought about it for a while, and then solemnly gave a suggestion: "Kill the person who took the lead in making trouble."

It was not the people in the north who took the lead in making trouble, but Master Zhao's confidants. Ye Linjiang felt that it was not impossible to kill, but he still had some concerns.

"The people in the imperial city don't know that the leader is not a suffering people. Killing him may cause public anger."

Prime Minister Ye said with a cold face: "Why do they dare to be angry? It is a treasonous thing to clamor in the city to ask the emperor to abdicate. It is already a kindness for the emperor not to hold them accountable. Do they really think that Shen Qi will abdicate the throne?" Go out and follow their wishes? They are just ordinary people, and some of their thoughts are destined to be delusional."

Ye Linjiang looked at Prime Minister Ye with a cold face, and thought: Shen Qi wants to give up the throne, but you are the one who doesn't want to give up the throne.

But he also knew in his heart that it was no longer a question of whether to give up the throne or not. Mr. Zhao and Mr. Shang obviously wanted to join hands to ruin Shen Qi's reputation and take the opportunity to pull Shen Qi from the throne.

The throne may not be given up, but he has to help keep Shen Qi's reputation.He couldn't let Shen Qi come back innocent but with a bad reputation.

From now on, Shen Qi will live happily with Chang'an for the rest of his life.

So Ye Linjiang nodded slightly to Prime Minister Ye, and said, "I'm going to order someone to post a notice and behead him on the street in three days' time."

When Ye Linjiang was leaving the gate, he happened to meet Lu Heng who was looking for Ke'er again. He couldn't help frowning, and asked impatiently, "Are you here again?"

Lu Heng saluted Ye Linjiang politely, and said softly, "I'm here to see Jie'er."

Ye Linjiang couldn't guess what Ke'er was thinking, and couldn't care less about interfering in this matter, so he could only nod his head and say, "Je'er is in the room."

Lu Heng came to look for Ke'er for several days in a row, and everyone in the prime minister's house felt that their young lady's good news was about to come, so on the way to find Ke'er, Lu Heng was often discussed quietly by the servants in the mansion.

However, his purpose of coming to find Ke'er is not as everyone guessed.

Before Lu Heng returned to the imperial city, Chang'an suddenly found him, and sincerely wanted him to do a favor.

Chang An said that he wanted to replace Shen Qi from the throne smoothly.

This sentence is easy to say, but everyone knows how difficult it is to do.

Lu Heng was very puzzled at that time: "There are many ways to step down from the throne, why not use the simplest one?"

He remembered that it was dusk at that time, and the setting sun was reflected on the ground. Chang An stood with his hands behind his back in the small courtyard of his house, with a smile on his lips, and his tone was soft: "Because I don't want him to be sad when he thinks about being the emperor. I will be sorry, I want him to be happy in the future."

Lu Heng understood at that moment: the simple method would probably cause Shen Qi some infamy.

So Lu Heng agreed.

However, this is a big job and a dangerous job. After Lu Heng came back, he thought about it for a long time before he thought that he could ask Jie'er for help.
