Yan Jing came out of the palace and met his eldest brother not long after.
"Second brother, are you just going to watch me being roasted on the fire?"
Yan Mei looked at his brother angrily, his mood was not as bad as usual.
Yan Jing shrugged and said, "Brother, you have wronged me!"
"In that situation, do you think I could interrupt casually?"
Hearing Yan Jing's words, Yan Mei recalled the situation at that time, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
"At that time, it was not convenient for me to speak, but later on, I helped you a lot."
Yan Jing told him what he said to Emperor Yongping later.
"Second brother, I'm lucky to have you!"
Yan Mei was really a little scared this time.
Although the Zhenjun Marquis was also the founding Marquis, at that time, with several generations of Zhenjun Marquises taking charge of the Imperial City Division, their family's influence in the military had declined a lot. But in terms of face, the nobles in the military did not reject the Yan family too much. After all, the status of the Imperial City Division was quite fearful.
If this time, because of him, the Zhenjun Hou Mansion is on the opposite side of all the nobles in the army, then the Yan family will really have no way out.
"Brother, I really think that the archers who appeared later may be people from the Luck Path."
"impossible!"
Hearing Yan Jing's guess that the archers belonged to the Jie Luck Dao, Yan Mei's first reaction was to disagree, "The Jie Luck Dao is suppressed by our Imperial City Department. It is absolutely impossible for there to be such a personnel arrangement in the capital."
"The masters of the Luck Path have already fled in panic. Under the Holy Spirit's will, the interior of the Luck Path has already fallen apart."
"Brother, you are just too confident!"
Yan Jing sighed, "The Master of the Luck Path has escaped, and his trace is currently unknown, but where is the Saint of the Luck Path? From the beginning to the end, have you discovered where the Saint of the Luck Path is?"
"Still impossible!"
Yan Mei still disagreed with Yan Jing's judgment.
Previously, he issued a death order to completely eliminate all disciples of Jie Luck Dao in the capital. At that time, there was a reward from Emperor Yongping, and not only the disciples of Jie Luck Dao but also the petty thieves in the capital were cleaned up.
Under such circumstances, the saint of the destiny path would not dare to enter the capital even if she was too brave.
"Brother, I admit that the Imperial City Division did a lot of things some time ago. At that time, what about recently? During this period, the Imperial City Division has been very leisurely, right?"
"Also, the Jie Luck Dao has been lurking in the capital for so many years. There must be quite a few nobles and ministers related to them!"
"Before, you all turned a blind eye."
"Now, how can you be so sure that no one is secretly protecting the people of Jie Luck Dao?"
"Brother, you know much better than I do about what seizing luck, transshipment... means to you nobles!"
As long as there are still people who want to climb up, and as long as there is still competition for interests, then there will always be a place for the Path of Luck to survive.
It is a joke to completely eliminate the path of luck.
"You mean there are people from the Luck-Jie Dao now in the city?"
"Definitely!"
Yan Jing didn't even need actual evidence to support his guess.
Yan Mei fell silent.
As Yan Jing said, the nobles have always had a need for the Path of Luck. After all, the methods mastered by the Jie Luck Dao are really very useful to the high-ranking nobles and royal families.
"Brother, don't even think about targeting Jie Luck Dao again!"
Yan Jing sighed softly, "If you want to completely eliminate the path of luck, you must first let the Holy Master completely eliminate the people in Qin Tianjian. Do you think this is possible?"
"Emperor Taizu didn't completely eliminate the path of luck. I'm afraid the fundamental reason was not that the path of luck was hidden too deeply, but that Emperor Taizu didn't want to completely eliminate the path of luck."
"Second brother, be careful what you say!"
The original truth is not difficult to guess. However, this so-called truth can be guessed, but cannot be told.
Emperor Taizu was a bright and divine being. No stain is allowed to exist in his life.
"Brother, it's just a talk between us two brothers. What's the big deal?"
Yan Jing glanced at his eldest brother and continued, "Brother, I want to resign!"
"What? What did you say?"
"You're crazy!"
When Yan Jing said he wanted to resign, Yan Mei's first reaction was that his brother was crazy and his head was not normal.
Now Yan Jing is already a bachelor of Chongwen Pavilion. As long as he takes one step further, he will join the pavilion and become the prime minister, standing at the pinnacle of civil servants and officials.
"Brother, can't you just listen to what I have to say?"
"Talk nonsense!"
Yan Mei stared, stretched out his hand and pressed Yan Jing's shoulder, "Don't act blindly here, come on, follow me home, let's have a nice talk!"
Once upon a time, Yan Mei didn't want his brothers to study literature.
But as Yan Jing went smoothly in the imperial examination, and later in the court, Yan Mei didn't have too many ideas. Instead, he felt that Yan Jing was on the right path.
But now, Yan Jing unexpectedly said "resign" out of nowhere. How could he accept this
"Fine!"
Yan Jing did not argue with Yan Mei immediately, but calmly followed Yan Mei back to the Zhenjun Hou Mansion.
In fact, if Yan Jing only had this idea before, now he has made up his mind.
Growing up, he discovered that as long as his elder brother opposed it, as long as he did it, the result would be good.
Now, with his eldest brother reacting so violently to his intention to resign, he would be a fool not to resign.
"What's your plan again?"
Seeing Yan Jing's cooperation, Yan Mei felt more and more that this matter was not simple.
The two are brothers. After spending many years together, Yan Jing understands his eldest brother, and Yan Mei also understands his younger brother. Yan Jing's attitude is so cooperative, which is definitely not a good sign.
"Brother, look at what you said, what ideas can I have?"
Yan Jing smiled slightly, "Of course I'm thinking about how to convince you!"
"You think I'm stupid?"
Yan Mei sneered, and without waiting for Yan Jing to explain, he continued, "No matter what your plans are, I tell you, you can't even think of resigning!"
"Brother, you are being unreasonable!"
Yan Jing looked at his eldest brother with a smile, "Tell me, since we were young, what did you want to do, and I held you back?"
"let me see!"
While controlling Yan Jing to return to the Zhenjun Hou Mansion, Yan Mei recalled every detail of their relationship.
Although I really want to deny it, in fact, the relationship between their brothers is really as Yan Jing said. No matter what he wanted to do, Yan Jing never held him back.
"Brother, don't think about it, you can't think of it!"
Yan Jing gave his eldest brother a look, "Why don't you listen to why I want to resign?"
"Okay, you say it!" (End of Chapter)
