Chu Ye said kindly: "Don't be afraid, old man. The general has informed me of your request. However, I am not very clear about some things and would like to ask the old man face to face."
"My lord, may I ask, I must tell you everything I know," the old man said.
Chu Ye asked: "Why did the emperor come to your house that day? Has he met Long Yinle before?"
The old man replied cautiously: "I have never seen him before. The emperor came to the mansion that day, which surprised me very much. Moreover, the emperor didn't say why he came that day. He only sat there for less than half an hour. Then he saw me.
The old man's grandson's daughter-in-law didn't know the emperor's identity, and even quarreled a few words. Originally, the old man thought that the emperor would blame him this time, but he didn't expect that before leaving, he actually asked the old man to prepare for his granddaughter-in-law's entry into the palace. Recently, the prime minister also
According to my fate, I want to adopt my old granddaughter-in-law as my adopted daughter so that she can enter the palace with her new identity."
Chu Ye pondered for a moment, then asked indifferently, "Does your grandson-in-law agree to enter the palace?"
The old man sighed, "If she is willing, I will let her go no matter how reluctant she is. The problem is that she is not willing, and she even scolded the prime minister's second housekeeper."
The guard beside Chu Ye, Shao Guohan, was a little strange, "Your granddaughter-in-law is really strange. No matter how bad she gets into the palace, she can be made a noble person, but she insists on staying with a fool." This sentence was what Murong Shang told him to ask.
of.
The old man's face changed. Hearing that Guo Han said that Shou Tou was a fool, he was not very happy, but he did not dare to get angry, and he did not dare to show his displeasure on his face. He only said: "Probably after we get along, we will always have feelings for each other.
.”
Guo Han said: "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to criticize Ling Jinsun. I just think things are a bit unreasonable."
"There are many things in the world, how can there be common sense to follow? Lao Chen, my granddaughter-in-law, has different thoughts and ideas from ordinary people. Before, Lao Chen had some business disputes with others, and it was she who wrote to him to smooth things over so that he would not suffer any losses.
A large sum of silver."
"Oh? Tell me!" Chu Ye asked with interest.
The old man said: "Actually, I am very ashamed to talk about this matter. Previously, when Lao Chan was ill, his unfilial son made a deal with Chen Pingyuan of Xiangping and bought a batch of low-quality goods at a high price. For this reason, Lao Chan once stayed at home.
She lost her temper. When Sun's daughter-in-law found out, she wrote a letter to Chen Pingyuan. I didn't know what was written in the letter, but Chen Pingyuan obediently delivered it to Beijing because of her letter and came to apologize in person." said
The old man was still confused about this matter. He had asked Yin Le before what was written in the letter. Yin Le explained that it was because he knew that someone wanted to assassinate Chen Pingyuan, so he only informed him and did not help him.
Why did he gratefully deliver the goods to Beijing in person and insist on meeting Ye'er and his wife? But now is not the time to pursue this, but first to make the emperor give up the idea of Long Yinle entering the palace.
Chu Ye and Murong Shang looked at each other. Maybe outsiders didn't know who Chen Pingyuan was, but they knew it very well. Chen Pingyuan was the elder brother of the current concubine Chen. Although they were not related by blood, Chen Pingyuan interacted with the emperor in private.
It was so secret that Chen Pingyuan naturally wanted to get the glory of the royal family, but the emperor had his eyes fixed on the name of the richest man in Xiangping. Xiangping was some distance away from the capital, and had begun to develop military bases secretly, using the construction of dams as a base.
The reason was to recruit a large number of able-bodied farmers, and the actual task of building the dam was handed over to the river workers. All the farmers who were recruited were trained in secret. Chu Ye had already found out this very clearly before.
Chu Ye said to the old man: "This king is already clear about this matter. I will think of a perfect solution. You can just go home and wait in peace."
The old man burst into tears with gratitude. He didn't expect the regent to agree so quickly. He thought he would have to put in a lot of effort. He stood up and saluted: "I thanked the prince. I thank the prince on behalf of my grandson's daughter-in-law!"
Chu Ye ordered the man of the country, "Send the old man out!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Guo Han said with cupped hands.
The old man also said: "Then I will resign, and I will leave everything to the prince. As long as this can be done, the prince will be the benefactor of the old man's family. From now on, the prince's words, the old man's family will not dare to disobey." The last sentence is quite meaningful.
Yes, the old man has been in the shopping mall for many years and has never been related to officials. However, after experiencing this incident, he knew that he must find a backer for the Liu family, otherwise if he died in the future, his useless descendants would probably be killed.
The person swallowed all the flesh and bones.
This was what Chu Ye was waiting for. He had a casual smile on his face and said, "You're welcome, old man. Let's go slowly!"
After the old man left, Murong Shang asked thoughtfully: "Are you trying to take advantage of the Liu family?"
Chu Ye shook his head, "You still can't see clearly?"
Murong Shang also shook his head, "What do you mean?"
There was a hint of coldness in Chu Ye's eyes, "Chu Kun went to Liu's house because of the letter Long Yinle wrote to Chen Pingyuan. No matter what method you use to get that letter, I want to read it.
What exactly did Long Yinle write to Chen Pingyuan? It made Chu Kun unable to sit still and actually wanted to visit the Liu family in person."
Murong Shang understood somewhat, but still had reservations about Long Yinle, "Even because of this, I still think this woman is too suspicious. Who knows what her intentions are? Aren't you afraid that this is all a trick? Just wait until we are stupid
Walking awkwardly into the trap set by others."
"You have to walk through it to know whether it's a trap or not. Shangy, when did you become so timid? How can you achieve great things if you are afraid of wolves in the front and tigers in the back?" Chu Ye sneered.
Murong Shang said angrily: "Who am I afraid it is for? Or not for you? You were plotted once before and escaped by chance. It doesn't mean you are so lucky every time."
Chu Ye had no memory of what happened that year. He said in a daze: "Actually, I'm not sure whether he was plotted against me or not. All my memories of that year have disappeared."
Murong Shang said: "Other than him, who else would attack you? He has been coveting the throne for a long time. How many times have he been assassinated overtly and covertly? If you hadn't been merciful that day, this throne would have been yours long ago.
.”
Chu Ye said coldly: "Now that the throne has been decided, I don't want to fight for this throne. If he truly serves the people, I will not sit on the position of regent and compete with him for a day. However, unexpected events
With insufficient support from the people, he conquered the world, but he continued to fight for years, conquering the south and the north, making the people miserable."
"Hmph, he wants to expand his territory so that he can impress his achievements in the hearts of the people, and also to stabilize his throne." Murong Shang said disdainfully.
Chu Ye looked at Murong Shan with a confused look, "Shang, I always feel that there is one thing I haven't done yet, but racking my brains, I can't remember what it is. It seems that I have promised someone before.
, I want to do something, but I really don’t remember who that woman is and what she wants to do.”
Murong Shuang looked at him with some pity, "Maybe someone saved you when you were in trouble. Maybe you promised your benefactor something, but after you woke up, that memory disappeared, and you don't remember it either. You
I also know that what you value most is your promise. The promise you made has to be fulfilled even through fire and water. So although your memory has disappeared, the promise has left a mark on your heart. Don't be too anxious, Yu.
The doctor also said that this memory may be restored in the future. When you remember who you promised to do something, it will not be too late for you to do it again."
