"Changzhishan?"
Yingping was a little confused as to why his adoptive father suddenly asked about this person. Yin Jingting, as Yingping's teacher in the palace, had met Yi Hongyan, and Yi Hongyan often went to Yin Jingting's house to learn about Yingping's situation. But Chang Zhishan is currently an idle person with a vacant job, so his sense of existence is naturally very low. Moreover, his adoptive father has never met Chang Zhishan, so Yingping feels a little strange when his adoptive father mentions this person at this time. .
"He is very leisurely now. He talks the least and leaves early every time when discussing politics. I think he wants to leave early and go home to take care of his grandson? Fatty Gongsun and Chang Zhishan didn't deal with each other before, but now all the affairs of the Privy Council are at stake. With that fat man taking care of it, can Chang Zhishan not be depressed? I heard that Chang Xiaotian was transferred out of the customs and is now back in the Privy Council. People have to bow their heads under the eaves. If I were Chang Zhishan, I would have reported it long ago. God heard that he has returned to his hometown."
Yi Hongyan was speechless for a while. Hearing what Yingping said, he couldn't ask any more questions.
"It's the one named Wang..."
Facing Yi Hongyan's silence, Wang Yanqing's appearance appeared in front of Yingping's eyes again, which made him feel a headache.
In fact, we have been getting along quite harmoniously with Wang Yanqing in the past three years. Yingping was not so stupid as soon as he started to be tough with the Wang family. Not to mention that Wang Yanqing had a deep foundation in the court, just based on Wang Yanqing's status as uncle. Even if Yingping wants to find trouble, he still has to look at the empress dowager's face; secondly, in fact, Wang Yanqing has not done anything arrogant in recent years. Perhaps it is because Yin Jingting is still in the court, and in general Wang Yanqing is more responsible. of. Wang Yanqing's ability was nothing to say. He managed the household department in an orderly manner. Yingping even understood why Wang Yanqing was so important. But as that day approaches, Yingping has to consider some issues. For example, if he wants to make certain changes to the Ministry of Household Affairs after taking office, how will the officials of the Ministry of Household and Residence react? For example, when Prime Minister Yin finally reaches old age, will Wang Yanqing still be as peaceful and self-reliant as he is now? It has been three years since Emperor Tang left. Don't look at Wang Yanqing's honesty, but many key positions in the government and the public have long been controlled by the Wang family. Even Wu Ze, who was demoted to prison, has become the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. If it were not the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel The post is still held concurrently by Prime Minister Yin. I'm afraid the officials in the court are all members of the Wang family, right? Thinking of this, Yingping sneered in his heart, hum! Don’t think that I can’t understand these moves. When I turn eighteen, we’ll show off again!
Yingping was thinking wildly when suddenly his eyes drifted to Ye Changshan. Looking at Ye Changshan who was still eating and drinking, Yingping's eyes suddenly lit up, and his tense expression gradually relaxed, and his smile came back to him. face. Yingping looked at Ye Changshan with a smile, his eyes shining with excitement, and he shouted——
"Long gown!"
"Ah?" Ye Changshan was eating vigorously when he heard Yingping calling and he didn't react for a while.
"Let's discuss something with you"
Yingping had a wicked smile on his face, which made Ye Changshan feel numb, because according to the usual routine, Yingping would often trick people at this time.
"What's the matter?"
A vegetable leaf was still hanging in Ye Changshan's mouth. He looked at Yingping blankly, not knowing what bad idea Yingping was thinking.
Looking at Ye Changshan's cute look, Yingping said solemnly: "Are you interested in joining me in the palace?"
"Ah? Entering the palace?"
"Um!"
"What are you going to do in the palace? Be a eunuch?" Ye Changshan asked very straightforwardly.
Yingping rolled his eyes, being a eunuch? If you were asked to join the palace as a eunuch, Yiyi, I'm afraid this girl would kill the king with a knife. Seeing Ye Changshan give an answer that he had never expected, Yingping was a little bit dumbfounded. He quickly explained: "What are you thinking about? I want you to join the palace as a guard, so I have a brother by my side."
Hearing this proposal, Yi Hongyan's eyes also lit up. Now Ye Changshan's cultivation has made great progress. Compared with three years ago, it can be said to be an earth-shaking change. It would be good if he could enter the palace as a guard to protect Yingping's thoroughness. Idea - Although now with the support of Yin Jingting, the Wang family does not dare to act rashly, but the situation in the palace is complicated, and no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents. It would be great if Ye Changshan can enter the palace to accompany him.
Ye Changshan did not express doubts about entering the palace. Instead, he questioned Yingping's power. He asked: "Entering the palace? Imperial guard? Do you have such power now?"
It turns out that the royal bodyguards were originally led and served by royal children, and their grades were naturally not low, usually from the third to sixth grades. Nowadays, the royal family members have almost left the imperial family, but after all, the royal family has spread its branches and leaves, and has some royal relatives. There are people here, but the blood relationship is no longer as close as it used to be, so the Emperor of Tang also allowed some descendants of loyal ministers who suppressed the rebellion to enter the palace and take up positions.
"You doubt me!?" Yingping couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced. He was an emperor after all, so he was naturally a little embarrassed when being questioned at this moment. He said with absolute certainty: "I am the king of a country! Even if I haven't personally taken charge yet, can't I still arrange for a bodyguard?"
"But……"
"Changshan, this is a good idea. You should think about it carefully." Yi Hongyan persuaded Ye Changshan before he could say anything.
Looking at Yi Hongyan's sincere eyes, Ye Changshan also knew what it meant. In fact, how could he not know the pros and cons? Although Yingping is now the emperor, his situation is really like walking on thin ice, and he is afraid that if he is not careful, he will be doomed. If he can enter the palace to protect him, if nothing else, he can at least protect his safety at critical moments, but...
Thinking of this, Ye Changshan glanced furtively at the girl next to him - but life in Shanmen was good. Although it was a bit remote, it was good that he could be with his sweetheart every day. Now that Yingping has entered the palace, he and Yiyi are the only juniors in the courtyard. They often go down the mountain together to visit Yi Hongyan, and sometimes they even go to the palace to visit Yingping together. In fact, Ye Changshan also vaguely felt something, but he was timid and never dared to pierce the window paper. He felt that this was very good and happy. In his opinion, he could just wait until he was old enough to go directly to Yi Hongyan - —Why are you looking for Yi Hongyan? Of course it's a marriage proposal, aren't all the young men and women in the village like this?
Ye Changshan, who was not familiar with the affairs of men and women, had no idea what his daughter's family was thinking. Thanks to Yiyi's gentle temperament, he just watched Brother Changshan wait stupidly.
"Then after I enter the palace, can I go back to the mountains?" Ye Changshan's heart has always been about the girl. Although he did not dare to say it openly, he always cared about her.
"Go back to the mountains? Yes, why can't you go back?" Even the concubines in the palace can go home to visit their relatives, why can't the guards? Yingping thought in confusion.
"oh..."
"Then you agreed?" Yingping was a little excited. He was very happy to be able to trick Ye Changshan into staying with him in the palace.
Faced with Yingping's request, Ye Changshan would naturally agree. He also knew that Yingping was lonely in the palace, so it would be better for him to take care of her if he could enter the palace to keep her company.
With a 'ta--' sound, I heard a pair of chopsticks being thrown lightly on the table. This sound seemed to be intentional, not too heavy for fear of losing etiquette, but not too lightly for fear of not attracting other people's attention. .
Yingping and Ye Changshan followed the sound and saw Yiyi pouting, as if she was unhappy about this feeling.
"Yiyi..." Seeing that Yiyi was unhappy, Ye Changshan started to speak awkwardly again, feeling a little at a loss.
"Hey, Yiyi, what's going on?" Yingping smiled playfully when he saw that his sister seemed to be playing tricks.
"You all enter the palace and leave me alone outside..." Yiyi muttered.
"Yier! Your brother and the others are talking about big things! Don't make trouble!"
How could Yi Hongyan not know what her daughter was thinking? After years of getting along with him, he naturally knew Ye Changshan's character. He was very reassured about this young man, so he let Yiyi live in Shanmen. But now his mind is completely on Yingping's safety and his daughter's. The matter was nothing in front of Ying Ping, so he stopped his daughter with words.
"Hey! Yiyi, brother, this is for your own good."
Of course Yiyi didn't want to accept this, she turned her head and snorted dissatisfied.
Yingping licked his face and moved to Yiyi's side. Regardless of the disgust and dissatisfaction in his sister's eyes, he continued to whisper to Yiyi: "Think about it, if your elder brother Changshan enters the palace and does well in the palace, he can get a career. , you will also marry more gracefully in the future, won't you?"
Yingping said in a very low voice, Ye Changshan and Yi Hongyan almost didn't hear what Yingping said.
Career? Hmm... That makes some sense. After all, Brother Changshan is quite capable. It wouldn't be a big deal if he stayed at Shanmen all his life. Moreover, Brother Changshan once said that when he was a child, his parents hoped that he could become an official and gain some fame. It's not a bad thing to say that this life was in vain... Thinking that this matter would be beneficial to Ye Changshan, the dissatisfaction and unwillingness in Yiyi's heart calmed down a lot.
But suddenly, Yiyi's face suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple, what...what...? What did my brother just say...? Marry well? Why did this damn brother say it so directly? Yiyi wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground at this moment. She raised her hand and punched Yingping hard. She looked up and saw Ye Changshan staring blankly outside the hall in deep thought. He didn't seem to have heard Yingping's words just now. The little heart calmed down.
Yi Hongyan noticed the childlike behavior of Yingping and Yiyi, which made him relax a lot. Seeing that Ye Changshan agreed, he finally felt a little more at ease. The entanglement between Emperor Tang, the lady, the Queen Mother and General Chang seemed like yesterday, but now they did not expect that these juniors would once again have great entanglements with this Tai Chi Palace. Emperor Tang has passed away, the lady has left, and now But it was the turn of their flesh and blood to face all this again, fate... bad fate... who could tell the things inside this clearly? It's just that this time Yi Hongyan doesn't want tragedy to happen again.
Miss! Late Emperor! If you have spirits in heaven, you must bless Yingping!
