Yin Le became the president of the Tea Merchant Alliance, and word spread quickly in the capital. In addition, she appeared in the streets and alleys in the past few days to inspect the Liu family's shop. Every time she went there, there was a lot of fanfare, and for a while, Beijing
So many people knew her. Soon, legendary stories about her were also told by storytellers in taverns and tea shops. Of course, no one spread the news that she was favored by the emperor, so there was no news about her.
Her story is probably just about her transformation from a poor girl to a fool's wife, and then to a very important woman in the capital. The storyteller added more spices and magical stories, which made everyone even more curious about Long Yinle.
, and Long Yinle’s identity also adds a bit of mystery.
Wang Zhenxi reported the matter to the emperor. The emperor smiled lightly and asked with a playful expression, "What is the relationship between Chu Ye and her?"
"Logically speaking, it doesn't matter, but the prince seems to be very concerned about this woman." Wang Zhenxi said, "otherwise, he wouldn't need to make suggestions to let this woman become the head of the Liu family."
Chu Kun raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Zhenxi. He put his hand on the armrest of the dragon chair and gently stroked the exquisitely carved dragon head. His fingers felt solid due to these touches. He asked quietly without moving his eyebrows:
"Prime Minister, will your daughter get married to Chu Ye next month?"
Wang Zhenxi was stunned and replied cautiously: "Back to the emperor, yes."
"In this marriage, have you forgotten what you promised me at the beginning?" Chu Kun asked with sharp eyes.
Wang Zhenxi quickly knelt down and said: "I dare not forget that I am just pretending to surrender. My heart is always loyal to the emperor." The word "loyal to the emperor" here has another meaning. Who is the emperor?
Whoever he is loyal to, if he is the emperor, he will naturally be loyal to himself.
"As long as you remember it, don't forget that you were the one who gave the advice when he was chasing Chu Ye. If he knew about it, you wouldn't be able to live without it. You and I are now in the same boat, sharing life and death.
Naturally, we share weal and woe." Chu Kun said calmly. His narrow eyes narrowed, and his brows had an indescribable charm. This man's expression was as evil as a monster. Even though he was used to seeing his face, he still
I couldn't help but feel horrified.
"I understand!" Wang Zhenxi bowed his head and said.
Chu Kun hummed, stretched out his fingers, picked off his nails carefully, and said casually: "As for Long Yinle, I have no interest in her, but I just want to see who is behind her. I am a little strange.
, how could she tell that Chen Pingyuan was assassinated by someone else? Could it be that the person behind it was Chu Ye? Prime Minister, I heard that you and I were also being pursued, but I don’t know why, that Yufeng Sect
He actually refused to accept this business. It seems that this Yufeng Sect is not necessarily a traitor."
Wang Zhenxi was horrified and quickly asked, "Your Majesty, are you saying that someone wants to kill the old minister?"
"Go and check it yourself. With the Prime Minister's ability today, it would be easy for him to find Yufeng Sect to check things out." Chu Kun waved his hand, yawned and said: "I'm a little tired, you go ahead.
"
Wang Zhenxi quickly resigned.
As soon as Wang Zhenxi left, a man entered the imperial study. He cupped his hands and said, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
"You came just in time, I have something to ask you to do." Chu Kun said.
"Your Majesty, please give me your orders!" The man had a face like a crown jewel and a tall figure. He was about twenty-five or six years old and had a high-spirited look on his face.
"Alchemy book, do you still remember that day when you went to Yufeng Sect?" Chu Kun said with a smile, as if what he was talking about was a very relaxed and happy thing.
"Wei Chen remembers." Xue Danshu said. Xue Danshu was the eldest son of General Xue Zixiang, the general who conquered the west. He married Murong Shang's sister Murong Ling'er. He and his father had different political views. Xue Zixiang supported Chu Ye, but Xue Danshu felt that Chu Kun had already
He is the emperor. No matter who the late emperor favored in the past, it can't change Chu Kun's rule. Chu Ye is only the regent, not the current emperor. He is ultimately the emperor of Liu State, not the regent.
Father and son had fallen out many times because of their political disagreements, and Xue Danshu also made it clear that he was loyal to the emperor and could not change his mind.
Xue Zixiang was naturally furious, but as his son grew older, started a family, and had his own ideas, the father could not interfere too much, otherwise, it would only have the opposite effect. So in the end, both father and son decided not to talk about the imperial court at home.
matters, so as not to cause disputes due to different political views between the two people and make everyone in the family unhappy.
The person who approached the Yufeng Sect to assassinate the emperor, Wang Zhenxi and Chen Pingyuan that day was none other than Xue Danshu.
Today, Xue Danshu heard the emperor talk about this and said, "I remember, but the Yufeng Sect paid double the deposit and refused to accept the business."
The emperor's eyebrows moved, and he said with a smile: "Wang Zhenxi, an old man, will investigate this matter soon. You have someone pretend to be a member of Yufeng Cult, and tell him that the person who hired someone to kill someone that day was someone from the Regent's Palace.
This old man has to be on guard. He says he is loyal to me, but how can I not guess his thoughts? He will use the power of the regent to pull me down."
Xue Danshu was a little surprised and said: "The emperor's words are puzzling to me. Now Prime Minister Wang is already the number one person in the dynasty. Even if he goes to the regent, what can the regent give him? It's nothing more than the prime minister's position.
It's just a title, but is it worth taking a big risk for a title?"
Chu Kun smiled slightly, "No, what he wants is not the title, but my kingdom."
Xue Dan wrote: "Then it makes even more sense. The regent is not a stupid person. How can he stand out under the regent?"
Chu Kun raised his eyebrows, "This is why he wanted to marry his daughter to Chu Ye."
"Weichen still doesn't understand."
"I heard that the Miss Wang family is so beautiful that men would lose their souls when they see her. I don't know if it's true or not." Chu Kun raised a sarcastic smile on his lips, "It's just that he doesn't understand, for Chu Ye
Using a honey trap won’t work,”
Xue Danshu finally understood, and he sneered: "But, as a man, he thinks it is the best way."
"That's because he is lustful, or he is too confident in his daughter." Chu Kun realized that Wang Zhenxi's ambitions did not happen overnight, and he has tolerated him for two reasons. The first one is that he has always been ambitious.
His ability is to shake this big tree, but he is not strong enough. Secondly, his strength is equal to that of Chu Ye, why not let the two of them fight to the death, and he can reap the benefits?
Xue Danshu cupped his hands and said, "Wei Chen will do it immediately."
Chu Kun waved his hand and let him go.
Xue Danshu is the commander of the Imperial Palace Guards and the commander of the imperial guards, in charge of one hundred thousand imperial troops. Xue Danshu has been taught by his father Xue Zixiang since he was a child. He has great martial arts skills, literary and military skills, and is proficient in everything. From the day he married his wife, he has focused on his future.
He can be described as a rising star in the political arena.
Xue Danshu didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. Although the emperor had behaved erratically, so far, he had done it to protect himself. Since ancient times, how many emperors have committed conflicts with their peers in order to stabilize the throne? But the emperor did not kill Chu Ye, but
He was named regent. This alone is enough to prove that he has a broad mind.
