When Ye Chang arrived at Prince Jin's mansion, it was just dawn.
Qian Han stepped forward to knock on the door, the gatekeeper opened the door, saw that it was the carriage of Prince Rong An's mansion, he was stunned, said, "Ye Shizi wait a moment, the younger one will report right away." After that, he hurried to the inner courtyard.
The king of Jin was old and didn't need to go to the morning court. Now he just got up and was standing in front of the window, sighing.
The gatekeeper informed the butler, and the butler quickly ran into King Jin's courtyard, stood at the door, and said hastily, "My lord, Shizi Ye is here."
The king of Jin was startled when he heard the words, and he didn't realize it for a long time. He asked the housekeeper, "Who are you talking about?"
The butler said, "Ye Shizi."
King Jin was stunned for a moment, remembering that he heard that Ye Chang had returned to Beijing, and had a quarrel with the eldest prince yesterday, which was very lively. These years, he has concealed it well in front of Ye Chang, but after so many things happened in Beijing, he can feel Ye Chang's indifference and alienation towards him, and gradually distanced himself from him. He thought, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, some things he did will be exposed sooner or later. Ye Chang has really grown up and can't be fooled anymore.
He didn't think it was a big deal at first, if he wanted to win that chair, support his own son, and cooperate with Xiangjun Wang Liyingwai, sooner or later this Southern Qi would be theirs. As for Ye Chang, if he is sensible, he will live, if he is not, then he can only deal with it.
But unexpectedly, the deposed prince exposed himself and was taken back from Lingyun Temple by Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan. In a blink of an eye, he became the eldest prince again. The emperor ordered him to supervise the country. After he supervised the country, the emperor disappeared. Disasters broke out everywhere, and public grievances arose everywhere. The eldest prince couldn't handle it, so he went to Dongjing for food. Let the king of Xiangjun, who was originally in a cooperative relationship with the eldest prince, quit. Now the two are at an impasse and their relationship has collapsed.
After the relationship between the First Prince and the King of Xiangjun collapsed, the situation of him and everyone in Prince Jin's Mansion was in danger. Although the Eldest Prince has not moved the Prince Jin Mansion, he knows that as long as the King of Xiangjun raises his army, the Eldest Prince will take over the Prince Jin Mansion immediately.
The eldest prince sent Liu Yan to Dongjing to urge food. He thought over and over again, but still didn't stop him. He felt that it was an opportunity for his favorite grandson to avoid the vortex in the capital. In his heart, he could only hope that the King of Xiangjun would treat his nephew kindly for his sake, so as not to be cruel.
He knew in his heart that Liu Yan was protected too well by him, and most of the time, he was too innocent.
Sometimes he wished he was Ye Chang, if Liu Yan was Ye Chang, he wouldn't have to worry so much about his future.
These days, he was thinking of a way, thinking of a comprehensive solution, which could not only keep Liu Yan, but also keep the Prince Jin Mansion. Therefore, he sent a letter to tell Liu Yan to wait in Shonan City and not go to Dongjing for now.
He knew in his heart that once the king of Xiangjun raises his army, his relatives will not recognize him, and anyone who blocks his way will die.
But he thought for many days, but he couldn't come up with a good solution. Now he can't sleep because of worry day and night, and his hair and beard are all white.
Hearing that Ye Chang came to the Jin Palace, countless thoughts crossed his mind for a while.
"My lord?" the butler couldn't help asking when he heard that there was no movement inside for a while.
King Jin came back to his senses and ordered to the housekeeper, "Please, Shizi Ye, come to the living room. This king will go to the living room to meet him."
The housekeeper answered yes and went immediately.
King Jin dressed quickly, went out of the room, and went to the living room. When he arrived, Ye Chang had already arrived.
Ye Chang was sitting in the living room, on the chair he used to sit on when he came to the Prince Jin Mansion, someone made him a pot of tea, but he didn't drink the tea cup, and was shaking the cup gently with his hand. Seeing King Jin coming, he didn't get up, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few months, why does the prince look so much older?"
King Jin stroked his beard and saw that Ye Chang still looked the same as before, but the expression between his brows and eyes seemed to be different, with a faint dignity and dignity, he took a deep breath, "This king is old, I heard that you are here Jiang Nan was seriously injured, and now he has recovered from his injury?"
Ye Chang said, "Although the injury has not healed, it is not a serious problem."
King Jin nodded, "That's good." After saying that, he came over and sat down, and said, "Have you found the concubine? Who hijacked her? How bold."
Ye Chang said, "The eldest prince's people."
Although King Jin had already guessed it, he was still taken aback, "Is there such a powerful person as the eldest prince? Can he kidnap the concubine from you and hurt you?"
Ye Chang said, "Yes."
King Jin sighed, "I didn't expect that."
Ye Chang looked at King Jin with a half-smile, "Yeah, I didn't expect that." After speaking, he held the cup and said, "Just like I never thought that the cup of poisonous tea I drank in Prince Jin's mansion was written by you personally. I didn't expect that the old prince of the clan who has always taken good care of me had a hand in the death of my father and mother in the battle. Hidden behind the concubine Yuegui, Duke An, and Marquis Jingjing, collaborators and traitors, It turned out to be you."
Although the King of Jin knew that Ye Chang already knew about it, he never thought that he would single-handedly find him in the Prince Jin's mansion so lightly, sit in his living room, and tell him face-to-face. His face turned pale for a moment, and he couldn't hold back.
Ye Chang looked at him and shook the cup, "I don't even dare to drink the tea from Prince Jin's Mansion. Now that Nuan is not by my side, I'm afraid that after I drink this tea, no one will come to rescue me."
King Jin held back for a moment, "Since you already know everything, it must be convincing evidence to tell me so in person, and I have nothing to say." After he finished speaking, he sighed deeply, "The only thing to blame is that the current emperor is not The blood of the Liu family can only be blamed on your father holding the imperial edict in his hand, but let the remnants of the previous dynasty take the position of emperor. I am really unwilling."
Ye Chang sneered, "You are unwilling, so you want to overthrow the Southern Qi Dynasty?"
The King of Jin said, "I didn't overthrow the Southern Qi Dynasty, I just wanted to take over the ancestor's country."
Ye Chang said, "It's just that you want to take over the ancestor's country. But what you have done is nothing more than seeking skin from a tiger. Whether it is Concubine Yue, Concubine Xiao Xian, or the eldest prince, which of these three people is the best?" For the sake of the Southern Qi? Twelve years ago, if it weren’t for my father, the Southern Qi would have been trampled by the Northern Zhou. Last year, if it weren’t for my father-in-law and Nuaner, the Northern Zhou would have already entered. At that time, will the Southern Qi still be the Southern Qi? , What you want is to turn the foundation of your ancestors into a subordinate regime of the Northern Zhou Dynasty? To bow down to the Northern Zhou Dynasty?"
King Jin said, "Of course not. All I have to do is to unite with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, eradicate dissidents, and then eliminate the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and sit on the world."
Ye Chang sneered, "It's too idiotic!"
The King of Jin was silent for a moment, then said weakly, "Now it seems that what you said is right, it's a fool's dream! But the matter has come to this point, even if this king dies, he will not be able to absolve himself of the blame, and he will not be able to save your father and mother. Even if you die, you will not be able to restore the former court situation in Nanqi."
