Chapter 462: Winning or Losing Has Been Determined
Shen Yi looked at Dongfang Ye steadily. This man in white was his former imaginary enemy. He had stayed in the capital for a few years, so he naturally knew how people in the capital evaluated Dongfang Ye. He had never understood it, but he was just a terminally ill prince. , has no real power and no official position, so why is it praised by so many people.
However, after hearing the words "talent in managing the world" from the emperor's mouth, he has always been hostile to Dongfang Ye. People who pride themselves on their talents are like this, proud and jealous, and he has always been unwilling to do so. He believed that a young master who never left home could be capable. It was not until he read an article about the implementation of the New Deal from the emperor that he felt frustrated for the first time.
People like Shen Yi have a noble heart, and that kind of unwillingness to admit defeat will turn into a kind of unspeakable jealousy, which will lead to resentment that makes Yu Yu and Liang Liang. This is the case for him towards Dongfang Ye.
"I knew that you must be secretly controlling this time." Shen Yi's tone was clear.
Thinking about it, the Shen family is quite powerful in Linyang, and has some connections in the capital. The Ministry of Punishment dare not take action against the Shen family in such a big way, and the aristocratic families who are usually on good terms with the Shen family have also closed their doors to thank guests. , even the Ji family acted helpless. Except for Dongfang Ye's instruction, who else could have such power in the capital.
"If you hadn't taken Liu Yun away, I wouldn't have killed you." Dongfang Ye is also someone who disdains lying to find excuses. He never likes to implicate innocent people, nor does he like to make a fuss. Shen Yi is indeed related to King An. But as the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone. In An Wang's case, except for those who were deeply involved in the case, Dongfang Ye still adhered to the principle of exempting others if possible, and just beat them. After all, a group of officials were fired at once, and he Neither the emperor nor the emperor wants to see such a situation.
"Dongfang Ye, I really don't understand you. You told me straight to the point that Liu Yun is your weakness. Aren't you afraid of me opening my mouth?" Shen Yi frowned slightly. At first, he was very interested in Liu Yun, but he didn't dare to. With all the fanfare, Dongfang Ye is doing well now. Not only does it let people know that he dotes on his wife, but he also doesn't shy away from his enemies in front of his enemies. It really makes him feel an indescribable frustration.
As a strong enemy, he will naturally find ways to find the opponent's weaknesses and attack them. However, Dongfang Ye is different. He directly tells the opponent where his weaknesses are. This is not blind exaggeration, but a kind of self-confidence. Even if I tell you, I His weakness is the momentum that you can't do anything about. Naturally, Shen Yi can't do such a move.
"I just want Liu Yun's whereabouts." He didn't bother to say more to him, and directly made his request.
Shen Yi pursed his lips. If it were anyone else, even if he hadn't done anything to Liu Yun, he would probably have said some nasty things to anger Dongfang Ye at this time. However, Shen Yi was a scholar after all, so he couldn't say such things. Yes, even though he thought his methods were despicable, he could not do such a thing after all.
"What good do I have?" After all, he still loved himself more. Between Liu Yun and himself, the choice he made several times was his own.
Hearing his words, Dongfang Ye's eyes flashed with disdain, such a person was really not worthy of being his opponent.
"The emperor personally intervened in your case. I don't think I have the ability to change the emperor's opinion." Dongfang Ye knew what Shen Yi was thinking. To be honest, things have reached this point and it is almost impossible to turn around. .
"Then at least... protect my parents." This is probably the first time that Shen Yi has considered others. He is quite sophisticated and vicious, but he is still a filial son after all. His father has reminded him several times not to try to achieve success in one step, but he still does it after all. He didn't obey. He thought he could get benefits from King An and escape unscathed, but he didn't expect that he had been targeted by Dongfang Ye for a long time. That guy was obviously a standard planer and then acted. Now it seems that it should come I'm afraid I can't escape.
"Okay." Dongfang Ye nodded. For Magistrate Shen, Dongfang Ye and the Emperor all praise him more. He is a rare understanding person in this chaotic situation. It's just a pity that he is Shen Yi's father, so he is doomed. It was impossible to just sit back and watch. Now that something happened to Shen Yi, Master Shen secretly asked many people to find out the news, and even asked Dongfang Ye.
Seeing Dongfang Ye agreeing so readily, Shen Yi's eyes flashed with surprise. He actually didn't understand Dongfang Ye. This strategic guy was hiding in the dark. His power was beyond his imagination, but the more so. Shen Yiyue didn't understand.
"Master Shen is a good official." Dongfang Ye rarely gives such a high evaluation.
In his opinion, not being completely fair and honest means a good official. An official who knows how to use personal connections, knows how to measure, and knows how to connect the past and the next is what the court really needs. Although Mr. Shen is a parent official in Linyang, his influence is not considered Although he was young, he was absolutely unambiguous when it came time to express his stance to the court. This is what a person who has been in officialdom for many years should look like.
As for Shen Yi, he may be a little more talented than his father, but after all, he is too self-reliant and only wants to reach the sky in one step, which is doomed to his failure.
"She was taken to the palace." Shen Yi was silent for a long time and finally told Liu Yun's whereabouts.
Dongfang Ye was shocked, and as his mind wandered, he seemed to have grasped some key points, but there were still some questions he couldn't figure out.
"That day King An sent someone to ask me to take her to the palace, but I was stopped outside the palace gate. Later I heard that something happened to King An, and I knew something was wrong." He didn't need to say what happened next, Dongfang Ye could also guess that with Shen Yi's intelligence, he knew that as soon as King An died, the court would immediately deal with King An's people. Because they had not figured out how to deal with King An before, his people were all waiting in the sky prison for disposal. This time, King An's people may be in trouble.
"She didn't come out?" Dongfang Ye frowned. If Liu Yun was in the palace, why didn't the emperor send someone to tell him?
It's unreasonable to say this. If others don't know about Dongfang Ye's relationship with the emperor, doesn't he himself know about it? To be honest, although the emperor often plots against him, he still stands by his side when things really happen. The emperor is the kind of person who says, "Ah Ye can only be plotted and bullied by me, and no one else is allowed to touch him." What's more, the emperor has already seen through that he captured Shen Yi for Liu Yun, so how could he hide everything?
Thinking of this, Dongfang Ye frowned again, unless... that playful emperor was just watching a show.
"Dongfang Ye, you are a lucky man." After receiving the emperor's appreciation and Liuyun's love, Shen Yi sneered and turned his back. Dongfang Ye had everything he dreamed of, but it was a pity that the confrontation between them had not yet begun. Once it begins, it ends.
Hearing Shen Yi's words, Dongfang Ye was startled for a moment, and then he understood. Looking at his back, he sighed secretly. Shen Yi was a smart man, but it was a pity that he was too narrow-minded. Such a person would not be accepted by the court after all.
But at this time, he didn't have time to think too much about Shen Yi. His affairs were taken care of by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple. All he worried about now was Liuyun. Without saying anything more, Dongfang Ye turned around and left the Prison of the Criminal Department and went to Walk towards the palace.
But he didn't expect that the emperor kept Liu Yun not just to watch the show.
