Chapter 179 Check and Balance

The next day, the public quarrel between Yu Wenzhe and Ye Donglan spread, and there were many discussions in the court.

Even when he went to court on the second day, the atmosphere was very delicate. Ye Donglan stood in front of all the officials, with his head raised, always wearing an indescribable smile.

Yu Wenzhe's eyes didn't stay on Ye Donglan the whole time, "I have something to play."

"Your Majesty, yesterday you mentioned that it was about reform..."

The person in the hall didn't finish speaking, Yu Wenzhe interrupted with a cold face, "Don't mention it again."

All the ministers who didn't know the details of what happened yesterday were all taken aback for a moment, convinced in their hearts that yesterday's rumors did exist, they stammered and didn't know what to say, "This..."

"Your Majesty said there is no need to mention it again, don't you understand?" Ye Donglan also said coldly.

All the ministers in the hall were more afraid of Ye Donglan than Yu Wenzhe, so they didn't dare to say more this time, and they all kept silent.

Yu Wenzhe snorted coldly, and gave Ye Donglan a cold look. Ye Donglan also smiled, and met Yu Wenzhe's eyes faintly. The atmosphere between the two of them was tense.

As a result, the early court ended hastily, and Ye Donglan walked out of the hall, followed by a group of ministers hurriedly chasing after him, "His Royal Highness Lan, please stay here."

Ye Donglan had expected it a long time ago. He smiled and turned to face the crowd, pretending to be surprised, "What's the matter, my lords?"

"His Royal Highness Lan, I want to talk to His Royal Highness Lan about something."

Ye Donglan glanced at several people, nodded and said, "Come with me."

Several people breathed a sigh of relief and followed Ye Donglan away.

Ye Donglan took them to his own palace. Although he usually lives in Julongdian in Yuwenzhe, he also has his own palace to the outside world. Everyone is sure to step into the luxurious palace of Julongdian. There is no one in the palace. There were only a few servants in the court ladies and eunuchs. Instead of planting flowers and plants, the courtyard was filled with weapon racks, wooden stakes and other martial arts tools. Everyone sweated as they watched Ye Donglan's figure.

Entering the house, Ye Donglan didn't call anyone to serve tea, but raised his hand to pour a few cups of tea, "My lords, please sit down."

"Ah, Your Highness King Xie Lan." Several people sat down tremblingly.

Ye Donglan didn't ask any questions, and sipped his tea leisurely.

Everyone looked at each other and shied away for a long time, Wenren Sumin was pushed out and spoke first, "His Royal Highness Lan, it is about His Majesty's reform, and we are still not at ease."

"Oh?" Ye Donglan raised his eyebrows, "Why not be at ease."

"The new emperor ascended the throne to carry out reforms, and the previous dynasty also had them. I understand your majesty's great ambitions, but this rash reform will shake the foundation of the court and cause chaos. Although your majesty is no longer reforming, But I always feel that His Majesty is not reconciled, and I am afraid that he will find other reasons to carry out reforms in the future..."

He said a lot of useless official words, and Ye Donglan couldn't help laughing, "It's better to get straight to the point when you hear about the adults."

"My lords, I understand what the king is thinking. It's just that he is afraid that His Majesty will reform the imperial examinations and select officials, and the children of poor families will flood into the court, threatening the hereditary succession, which will affect the status of the family in this prosperous dynasty. There is no need to be so high-sounding."

The faces of the people froze when their minds were punctured, and then they smiled apologetically, "Even if there is such a reason, it can't be said that I didn't think about the community."

Ye Donglan didn't want to go around in circles with them, "So?"

"I am a courtier. If His Majesty insists on reforming, we will not be able to stop him. Now only His Royal Highness King Lan can check and balance His Majesty. I think..."

"I am also a mere regent, why do you think I can check and balance His Majesty?"

"This..." Everyone hesitated for a moment. In the end, Shen Yuzheng reacted the fastest, and said, "This country was laid down by the regent king. It is comparable to the emperor, so why is it so difficult to check and balance?"

Ye Donglan raised his eyes to look at Shen Yuzheng, and smiled after a while, "Master Shen, I am really lucky for your Shen family, fortunately your son is not like you."

Shen Yu's face froze, knowing that Shen Yuzhou and Ye Donglan had a good relationship, and that he really owed Shen Yuzhou, so he didn't dare to say more.

Ye Donglan waved his hand, his tone was always flat, without a trace of emotion, "Okay, I'm tired, let's go down."
