The good night is short, and if it is day, it will feel even more unfinished. The tent was full of sweet smells, and after a while, there was the sound of rustling and putting on clothes.
While stroking Ye Mei's smooth back, Jin Xingming said with some gluttonous satisfaction on his face, "Mei'er, why don't you stay with me for a while, it's not dark yet, what are you going to do so early? "
Ye Mei turned her back to Jin Xingming, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, but when she turned her head, she winked again and said with a smile, "Brother Jin is so reluctant to part with me, so he picked me up from that Ye family quickly. Ye Maocai will I keep it tight, and these days are often urging me to enter the palace, if I enter the palace, I will have nothing to do with Brother Jin in this life."
When Jin Xingming heard that Ye Mei was going to enter the palace, he immediately sat up straight and said, "No!" If it was in the past, Jin Xingming didn't know Ye Mei's taste, but now that he turned Luan Feng upside down, he couldn't bear to let go. He simply wants to die on Ye Mei, and if he encounters other women in the future, I am afraid that they will all be turned into wood.
All a man wants in his life is money, right and serenity. After eating fine rice, it will be difficult for a man to eat. Jin Xingming was unwilling to hand over Ye Mei to others, so he was naturally anxious.
Ye Mei snuggled into his arms and said softly, "Naturally I don't want it either, I only have Brother Jin in my heart, but now I can't help myself. So I want to leave quickly, and when Brother Jin and I arrive in Ming Qi, we will be able to To be a pair of immortals, happy every day, so happy."
The beautiful woman is affectionate and righteous, and Jin Xingming got the sweetness again. He was proud of his heart, and he was full of pride for a while, and said: "That's right. I will have people prepare things when I look back today. To be safe, let's take the waterway. This waterway is hidden. , although it is dangerous, it is faster than the other way.”
Ye Mei nodded: "In order to prevent Ye Maocai from having doubts, we will meet again here in five days. Before that, Brother Jin, you should arrange the matter of leaving, and I can also deal with everyone in Ye Mansion."
Jin Xingming agreed, and the two continued to entangle for a while, Ye Mei tidied up her clothes and walked out the door as if nothing had happened. After leaving the Sun's house and getting on the carriage, the guards of Ye's house didn't think much of it when they saw that she was okay. Ye Mei got into the carriage and opened his sleeves, and his jade arms as tender as white lotus were covered with mottled red marks.
Jin Xing Minghou was anxious and rude, and Ye Mei, who was tossing around, was also extremely tired. She looked at it for a while, and then put down her sleeves.
She has always been the master of plucking the wild goose, but today she is committed to people like Jin Xingming, all of which are thanks to Ye Maocai. If Ye Mao hadn't tricked her into getting on a pirate ship, why would she be here? Since she wants to leave Ye Mansion, Ye Mansion always has to give her something to compensate her, otherwise, wouldn't the complacency for so many days be in vain
A look of cruelty flashed in her eyes.
…
Five days later, Xie Jing Xing returned.
In the battle of Ruyang City, the Lu family was completely defeated.
For so many years, the Lu family thought that they were recruiting troops and buying horses, secretly accumulating strength, but they did not know that his opponent was the same. Even his opponent is more diligent than him. From the day Yongle Emperor ascended the throne, he began to plan how to bring down the Lu family. After so many years of planning, how could the Lu family be able to compare
And the real power displayed by Emperor Yongle also shocked some courtiers in the court and the opposition, as if they were poured cold water on their heads. They finally understood that the one who was suppressed by Emperor Xiaowu at the beginning had to be supported by the Queen Mother Jingxian. The young emperor has grown into a beast at an unknown time.
Lu Zhengchun was a lunatic. Ruyang City was broken. He knew that the situation was over. When he had no choice, he rushed into the house and slaughtered his wife and daughter, including Lu Wan'er, who he loved. Gao Yang and Ji Yushu were also present at the time, watching that Lu Wan'er slowly fell down with wide eyes, as if she never expected to die at the hands of her father until the last moment.
Xie Jingxing ended Lu Zhengchun.
When Lu Zhengchun died, he couldn't stop laughing and shouted: "This old man was invincible all his life, and the pommel horse is in the world. Today, he died at the hands of Shuzi! I'm not reconciled!"
Xie Jing Xing cut off his head and said lightly, “Ignorance.”
At this point, the Lu family, a century-old family that had been entrenched in two dynasties in Great Liang, disappeared without a trace. The remnants of the Lu family fled everywhere and handed them over to the Mo Yu army to kill them one by one.
When Shen Miao heard this, she was very emotional, the rise and fall of an aristocratic family seemed very simple, but in fact it was a sign long ago. The Lu family was arrogant and rebellious, and the royal family spared no effort to kill them.
Xie Jing Xing said, "But when I came back, I heard that there was a 'A Letter to the Compatriots in the World' circulating in the market..." He glanced at Shen Miao and the corners of his lips twitched, "Everyone in the world wants to get acquainted, do not know who is the talented and heroic person? "
Shen Miao restrained her smile: "I don't know."
“Let Mo Yujun look for it.” Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows, “If found, if it is a man, then they will become brothers, if it is a woman, then…”
“Just what?” Shen Miao stared at him coldly, as if he was only dissatisfied with the answer and sharpened his knife.
Xie Jing Xing said sternly, "Just dragged it out and beheaded. Who is so daring to dare to be more talented than my wife."
Shen Miao couldn't help but laugh.
When Xie Jing Xing saw her smiling like a magnolia blossom, gentle and pretty, his heart moved, he suddenly stood up and picked her up, walked to the bed and put it down. Shen Miao struggled: "You haven't showered yet."
“Don’t move, let me hold it for a while.” He turned over and Shen Miao lay on top of him, Xie Jing Xing hugged her and buried her face in her shoulders, Shen Miao was a little tickled by his breath, but heard him Said, "Ming Qi may be calling."
Shen Miao was startled and said suspiciously, "What."
“Lu Zhengchun revealed the emperor’s brother’s secret before he died.” Xie Jing Xing’s voice was indifferent, he said, “It seems that Fu Xiu Yi also knows. Fu Xiu Yi will not miss this opportunity.”
It turned out that before Lu Zhengchun died, he said something to Xie Jing Xing, he said, "Guess, when the Emperor Ming Qi knows that your short-lived eldest brother will not survive this year, when will he send troops?"
Shen Miao was surprised, "How could Lu Zhengchun know?"
“It’s hard to guard against family thieves day and night. Besides, the palace is complicated, it may have been spread from the palace.” Xie Jing Xing said, “The Lu family should have wanted to use this news to blackmail the emperor, but in the end they changed their minds somehow. , choose to inform Fu Xiu Yi."
“Treachery by collaborating with the enemy?” Shen Miao frowned.
"It doesn't count." Xie Jingxing said, "Lu Zhengchun's personality should be that he wants to die."
When Shen Miao heard this, she somewhat agreed. Before, Lu Zhengchun also posted signs everywhere saying that Emperor Yongle killed the king and seized the throne, but he just wanted to destroy the reputation of the royal family. At that time, he did not publicize the secret of Emperor Yongle's short life, perhaps to keep this secret, and finally become his killer, the final fatal blow.
It was just that Lu Zhengchun was not a person who could hold his breath, and he did not know why Xie Jing Xing had stimulated him, perhaps he felt that the Xie family was not able to recover, so he just told Xie Jing Xing the news before he died.
Shen Miao said, "Yes, it is indeed impossible for Fu Xiu Yi to give up this opportunity." Fu Xiu Yi's temperament was good at "seizing". Seize the people, things and opportunities that you can take advantage of. Perhaps in his opinion, for an emperor with a short life, once an accident occurs, Great Liang will be in chaos, and it is best to set off at this time. She thought for a while: "It's just that the current Ming Qi is not qualified to fight against Great Liang, Fu Xiu Yi must have done something secretly, and he will only act when he has enough confidence."
Xie Jingxing said, "Before that, let's clean up the Ye family."
“Ye family?” Shen Miao said, “Are you planning to wipe out the Ye family?”
Xie Jing Xing snapped his fingers, “Otherwise we will keep it for the Chinese New Year? Brother Ye Mei, I will make a decision and give it to you, you can do whatever you want.”
Shen Miao took his hand and Xie Jing Xing still had her red string on her wrist, she said, "You have to be careful."
Xie Jing Xing and Shen Miao's conjecture about Fu Xiu Yi was confirmed on the second day. No one would have thought that Fu Xiu Yi would be so impatient, and it could even be said that he didn't care.
Shen Qiu's home letter has arrived.
Different from the previous family letters, most of the previous family letters would write about Shen Xin and their daily life to show Shen Miao that they were living well. But this letter from the family looked very scribbled, obviously the letter was written in a hurry, and looking at the time, it was also a long time, which meant that this letter was in Shen Miao's hands and it took a lot of time.
After opening the letter, Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing read it at a glance, and after reading it, they were all silent.
Fu Xiu Yi started.
It wasn't to fire at Great Liang, but at the Shen family.
Emperor Wenhui was seriously ill, and he entrusted Fu Xiuyi to supervise all the affairs of the court. Fu Xiu Yi fabricated the evidence of the Shen family's crime and directly encircled and suppressed the Shen family. And the Shen family army of the Shen family had changed beyond recognition when they were taken back by the Ming Qi royal family, and there were a lot of spies among them, but the Shen family army was abolished.
Fu Xiu Yi deceived the people of Ming Qi and acted so rudely on the Shen family directly. This time, Shen Xin was well prepared, and he had already started to privately unite with other courtiers who were dissatisfied with the Ming Qi royal family. Although those courtiers were also minor officials, they were more powerful than single-handedly. Secondly, Luo Lianying and Luo Liantai, who were far away in Xiaochun City, also came to Dingjing with the Luo family army. The Luo Family Army can be regarded as being raised by the Luo family. It is not so much the emperor's soldier that it is better to say that he only obeys the Luo Family. In addition, he was also trained under Shen Xin in the past few years. After a lot of teaching, Shen Xin started the Luo Family Army. It is also handy. Apart from these, there were also the people that Xie Jing Xing had left in Dingjing.
At this point, everyone in the Shen family finally knew the identity of Xie Jing Xing.
Although he was shocked, he did not feel disgusted because of the current situation, and Xie Jing Xing had confessed to Shen Xin before, so he could not take the blame. Although Xie Jing Xing's people were not many, they were extremely talented. Especially in the line of snooping news is very good.
Fu Xiu Yi probably thought that he could take down the now weakened Shen family in a very short period of time, but he did not expect that the Shen family had been preparing for this day long ago. Into a dead end, draining his troops.
Shen Qiu said in the letter that the Shen family is now carrying the royal family and has left Dingjing. Although Fu Xiuyi's men have been chasing after them, the Shen family has never let them benefit. Now Shen Xin is discussing with the courtiers whether or not to lift this bastard imperial power.
As for the final result of this matter, Shen Qiu did not mention it. Shen Miao also knew that the Shen family was loyal and loyal from generation to generation, especially Old General Shen had a loyal heart. Turning against the imperial power now is already a great rebellion. After the imperial power is lifted, even if it is a success, who will be the emperor? To re-establish a new king, Ming Qi's princes are by no means good-hearted, and they simply set themselves up as kings? Shen Xin never had that idea.
At the end of the letter, Shen Qiu mentioned one thing.
The current Shen family did not stay in Dingjing, because Dingjing was full of people from Fu Xiuyi, and the Shen family would only be at a disadvantage. They retreated to the Hanguan Valley area, but found many Qin people in the villages around the Hanguan Valley.
The letter ends here.
Shen Miao was silent for a long time before she said, "Fu Xiu Yi started to act, there is a Qin countryman in Hanguan Valley, it is very likely that Qin Qi has joined forces, but if not, Fu Xiu Yi must have this idea."
Xie Jing Xing nodded and looked at Shen Miao again, “Aren’t you worried about your father?”
“Worrying is useless.” Shen Miao said, “Now that I am thousands of miles away, even if I am planning a strategy, I cannot grasp many variables. Besides, when it comes to conquering the enemy, I believe that my parents and elder brother are not easy people. As long as they no longer care about the royal family. If you are as foolish and loyal as before, you will have a chance of winning."
Xie Jing Xing raised his lips and smiled, “Actually it’s all the same.”
Shen Miao looked at him and frowned, "What do you mean."
Xie Jing Xing pinched her face again and said, “If Qin Qi joins forces, it can only explain one thing, they will attack Great Liang as soon as possible, and they must start from the border. Father-in-law and us are actually on one side.”
"Father-in-law doesn't want to establish a new emperor, and he doesn't want to establish his own imperial power. Then he will swallow Ming Qi, destroy Da Qin, and the three kingdoms will be unified, so naturally there is no choice."
Shen Miao's heart moved, she actually had long thought that there would be such a situation, in her previous life to the end, Great Liang did not destroy Qin State, but also attacked Dingjing and captured Ming Qi, thinking that in the future, the three kingdoms will be returned to Great Liang, the world will be There is only one emperor.
“But can you do it?” Shen Miao asked, “The emperor’s secret has already been known by Fu Xiu Yi, don’t think about it, I know that he will definitely release the news. When the chaos in Long Ye occurs, you will have to bear many things, Qin Qi will join forces , I believe that it will not be the opponent of Da Liang in the end, but this process must be very difficult."
Xie Jing Xing glanced at her, "Little girl, has anyone told you not to doubt that a man's 'can't do it'."
Shen Miao paused, Xie Jing Xing was able to make jokes at such a time, she really felt that she had nothing to say.
"Look at it," he said.
…
The collapse of the Lu family shocked the entire Long Ye, but because of the "Speak to the Compatriots in the World", the people applauded. As a result, the courtiers had a new pattern. Those who followed the wave of the Lu family in the past, those who were eager to make a fuss between the Lu family and the royal family, and those who resolutely opposed the Lu family each had new plans. Those who are on the right team are naturally beaming, but those who are on the wrong team are surprised.
Emperor Yongle was by no means a generous and kind emperor who only knew how to favor his concubines. When his heart is hardened, he is harder than anyone else. He is indeed the son of Emperor Xiaowu, and he should never be soft-hearted. At the beginning, Concubine Jing was the most favored concubine in the harem, but now Emperor Yongle is dealing with the Lu family, but he didn't care about the affection at the beginning, let alone the child in Concubine Jing's belly. Even a conscientious person could see that Emperor Yong Le had been forbearing for many years just to deal with the Lu family.
It's really daunting that the emperor has such a manipulative attitude. Because of this, the courtiers were more afraid of him and settled down a lot.
And the Ye family, which is as famous as the Lu family, is now like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and uneasy.
No one would have thought that Emperor Yongle would do it as soon as he said it, and no one would have thought that the Lu family would fall so quickly. Even Ye Maocai, who considered himself shrewd, suddenly realized that something was wrong. He regrets it now, why did the royal family not surrender earlier when they wanted to recruit the Ye family, but now, they have lost this opportunity in vain.
It is true that this opportunity was lost, because Ye Maocai discovered that Emperor Yongle had already begun to deal with the forces of the Ye family.
The Ye family is different from the Lu family. The Lu family is a military general and has its own soldiers. The Ye family is a civil servant. Most of the time, they can only play an auxiliary role. His relationship, power, and connections are all things that everyone is competing for, but now, they all collapsed with the fall of the Lu family.
The Lu family has so many basic forces and troops, and they are all planted in the hands of Emperor Yongle, not to mention the Ye family. But Ye Maocai looked at the situation, and with the understanding of Emperor Yongle's behavior from the Lu family, he became more and more desperate, knowing that Emperor Yongle's Ye family would never open up, and would definitely kill them. Ye Maocai was annoyed at the arrogance that the Lu family had sworn to say at the beginning, and at the same time regretted that it was too late.
Ye Maocai began to prepare to escape, and if it was bad, he would send Ye Hongguang out. Ye Mei and Ye Ke didn't care so much about him, but Ye Hongguang was his only heir, and he had to leave the Ye family behind.
When Ye Maocai was busy, Ye Mei was not idle either.
She came back from Miss Sun's house today and had a good time with that Jin Xingming. Jin Xingming had promised to take her away in three days. In the past few days, Ye Maocai had loosened up a lot on Ye Mei's control, and he didn't seem to care much about where she went or who she met. Ye Mei was not happy because of this, but became more and more nervous. Because Ye Maocai was obviously too busy to take care of herself, she had no time to take care of her life and death. The Ye family was afraid that it was about to reach a very critical moment.
When it comes to the matter of the Lu family, although Ye Mei didn't understand what happened, she also faintly felt that Ye Mao was afraid.
On this day, she came back a little late. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Ye Ke looking left and right in her room, as if waiting for her.
Speaking of which, Ye Mei hadn't seen Ye Ke for a few days. These days, she was thinking about escaping to Ming Qi with Jin Xingming. Ye Mei really didn't plan what to do with Ye Ke, or from the very beginning, Ye Ke was not included in Ye Mei's escape plan. The presence.
A person who had already made Ye Mei feel useless and would only hold her back, and even had selfishness towards her, Ye Mei immediately abandoned it.
Seeing her coming back, Ye Ke asked, "Sister, where have you been? Why did you only come back now?"
"Miss Sun asked me for a handkerchief last time. I only embroidered it yesterday, and I gave it to her today."
Ye Ke complained: "You are also the young lady of the Prime Minister's residence now, why should the young lady of her Sun family instruct you?"
Ye Mei ignored his words and sat down on the side. Seeing that Ye Ke's brow seemed to be anxious, she asked, "How are you doing these days? Didn't Dad show you around to see your colleagues?"
"Don't mention it." Hearing this, Ye Ke immediately lowered his head and said dejectedly: "That's just the beginning. I don't know what I've been busy with these few days. When I asked him, he said that he had something to do, and I was in the manor. I'm so bored." Looking at Ye Mei again, "Sister, when are you discussing with your father about entering the palace, I think your father is looking for excuses to refuse. If you enter the palace and gain the emperor's favor, your father will definitely If you please me, the emperor will also value me. I am proud of my career, and I will help you too, right?"
Ye Mei sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and said with a smile: "You and I are sister and brother, I will naturally help you." She pondered for a while, and then said: "Speaking of which, the relationship between you and father is stronger than that between me and me. Dad's relationship is getting closer. These days, have you seen anything special about Dad?"
"A special place?" Ye Ke was puzzled: "Nothing special."
Seeing that he didn't understand, Ye Mei changed the way and asked with a smile, "It's not about this, for example, what precious things does Dad have, or what secrets, maybe you can find out a thing or two?"
Ye Ke looked at Ye Mei, stunned for a while, and said, "Sister, what do you want to do?"
Ye Ke is a person with more than ambition and lack of intelligence. He is a little clever, but he is easily fascinated by some superficial things, and he is too greedy and should never stop. Ye Mei had said about him many times since she was a child, but it was also because of Ye Ke's arrogance and greed that Ye Mei was able to pass the test so easily.
She sighed and said, "You know, after all, you and I are not the real blood of the Ye family. I heard that my father has been searching for the flesh and blood of the Ye family in private these few days, but he can't find it. Here we are. How should you and I deal with each other?"
She came casually when she lied, but Ye Ke was stunned, and immediately believed it, stammering: "Really... Is Dad really looking for the real Ye family everywhere?"
Ye Mei nodded.
Ye Ke's expression became a little distorted, mixed with anger and jealousy, and he said, "How can Dad be like this, using us and kicking away? Why?"
"That's why I'm not reconciled," Ye Mei said, "I'm fine, but you are different. If the real Ye family bloodline doesn't come back, a lame can't argue with you, and the Ye family will be yours in the future. How can I Watching your things hand over your hands helplessly."
Ye Ke originally had nine points of anger, but at this moment, Ye Mei said it straight to twelve points. He said, "That's right. It can't be!"
"So I thought of a way to find Ye Maocai's weakness. Since he is the prime minister, he will always have some secrets. If we know these secrets, they will naturally be used to threaten him."
Hearing this, Ye Ke took it seriously. He thought for a while, and then said in frustration, "Dad has nothing to do with me. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like there is any secret. But..." His eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered something, anxious. He said anxiously: "Once I was in his study and saw a picture of a beautiful woman hanging on the wall. I thought the picture was good, so I touched it, and he strictly stopped it. At that time, I guessed what the difference was in the picture."
Ye Mei asked, "Then what?"
"Dad told me that there are some things in the painting, but I haven't become an official yet, so it's useless for me. After I become an official, these things will come in handy, and he will give it to me." Ye Ke Spreading his hands: "I can only think of the precious things you said. I saw that what he said didn't seem to be fake, so I didn't go into it. Does it count?"
A hint of joy flashed in Ye Mei's eyes, and said, "Forget it."
"Then I'll try to steal it!" Ye Ke immediately stood up.
"No!" Ye Mei hurriedly stopped him, seeing Ye Ke's suspicious eyes, and said, "Since this is what I thought of, in the end it's me who will threaten him, although it's for you. But if you go to threaten him. , he will be dissatisfied with you, and it will inevitably violate the yang and yin. Why don't I steal it and threaten him with this, so that in Ye Maocai's heart, you don't even know it, and it's still his."
Ye Ke heard this and felt that what Ye Mei said was very good, he slapped his hand and said, "It's still the thoughtful thinking of my elder sister!" Then he looked at her gratefully: "Sister, you are so kind to me. In the future, my younger brother will never forget elder sister's support. Your kindness will definitely be repaid to my sister."
Ye Mei smiled slightly, and her eyes fell on Ye Ke with a faint gaze, and then she said very kindly: "I'm waiting for you to 'repay' me well."
After Ye Ke left, Ye Mei closed the door and slowly darkened her expression.
She kept thinking that during the time she was in the Ye family, she did not get what she wanted. On the contrary, she was still being used by Ye Maocai, and she had to get on her own body because she wanted to escape from the Ye family. For people like Jin Xingming, no matter how you look at this transaction, it is not worthwhile.
And Ye Mei never made uneconomical transactions.
Now the Ye family is going to be unlucky. Before the Ye family is unlucky, she must leave and jump out of the Ye family's ship, otherwise she will be tied and sunk with the Ye family.
But before it sank, she always had to get something back from the Ye family to make up for what she lost.
Since Jin Xingming is going to go to Ming Qi, then one day, she will be able to climb the nobles of Ming Qi and reach the peak of Ming Qi's power. .
As the prime minister of Great Liang, the Ye family must hide some of these secrets in the prime minister's mansion. These secrets are closely related to Great Liang.
No country will shut out the secret affairs of other countries.
This secret is Ye Maocai's hard work, and it is also her stepping stone to the Ming Qi noble man's house.
This thing is what can make up for everything she lost in the Ye family. Now think about it, what did she lose in the Ye family
Free power, forced commitment, and, a stupid younger brother.
