Ye Mingxuan originally planned to send Prince An back to his house in person, but he politely declined.
He smiled and cupped his hands: "General Ye, it's getting late and you drank a lot today, so you don't need to see me off.
The public security in the capital is so good now, and it's not far from my house. Nothing will happen. You should go back and rest early. "
Ye Mingxuan saw that he persisted and did not force himself. He smiled and said: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. Then I will ask the guards to escort you back to the house."
After King An got on the carriage, his expression darkened.
He touched his chin and pondered, why did Your Highness leave King Xia behind? Is there anything you can't say to his face?
Could it be that the old fox handed over the military talisman first today, and His Highness felt that he was more sincere in submitting than himself?
After thinking about it all the way, King An couldn't figure out the reason.
When he returned to the palace, he immediately called several counselors to the study for discussion.
At this time, Li Yunze was asking Prince Xia to talk about family matters, calling Prince Xia uncle in his mouth, making Prince Xia feel happy.
"Uncle Xia Wang, I heard that you had the best relationship with my father when you were a child. Can you tell me what kind of person he is?"
Li Yunze really had nothing to say to him. They were not familiar with each other and had no common language. He could only talk about his father whom he had never met.
"Your father is four years older than me. He has been smart since he was a child and has a good personality. He is my father's favorite."
Speaking of his childhood, Prince Xia fell into memories, with a look of nostalgia for the past and a bit of sadness.
I don't know if he was drunk or not, but he started crying while talking.
Li Yunze was also dumbfounded by him. Seeing him crying louder and louder, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He felt that the time was almost up and he didn't want to accompany him to act here, so he said in a gentle tone:
"Uncle Xia Wang, it's getting late. I'll have someone take you back. My nephew will visit you and your aunt in two days."
Only then did Prince Xia realize that he had lost his composure. He quickly wiped his tears and said, "Your Highness, I am so happy today. I hope Your Highness will not blame you."
"What did Uncle Wang say? Today is a family banquet. We uncles and nephews are chatting about family affairs. How can we blame you?"
Prince Xia immediately smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, I was wrong."
Li Yunze ordered the guards outside the door: "Yan San, send someone to take Prince Xia back to his house."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After the guards helped the drunken King Xia out of the courtyard, Ye Mingxuan walked in with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, your move is very clever. What happened tonight is like a thorn in Prince An's heart. He will definitely be wary of Prince Xia in the future. The friendship between the two princes may end here."
"Although I successfully alienated their relationship tonight, those two people can no longer be used together."
Ye Mingxuan understood what he meant, "Brother-in-law, are you planning to send more troops to the east?"
"No rush, just wait. After killing King Pingnan, Mrs. Qiao and Li Yunhao, I will send Lin Jiang and Mantang to the east to guard, while keeping an eye on King Xia and King An, and then let Chaoyang take over the position of King Pingnan. Let Zhang Daqian assist him."
Li Yunze picked up the two military talismans on the table and asked Ye Mingxuan, "Brother, do you think this arrangement is feasible?"
Ye Mingxuan smiled and nodded, "It's very appropriate. Although Mantang has a good way of fighting, he is not careful enough.
If he was asked to guard the east side alone and deal with local officials, he would definitely not be able to handle it.
If coupled with the meticulous brother Lin Jiang, the two of them will definitely help His Highness protect the eastern border. "
Ye Mingxuan thought for a while and then said: "King Pingnan has been operating in the south for many years. Even if we kill him, I'm afraid it will take some effort to manage it.
Although Chaoyang and Zhang Daqian are not very old, they are both very prestigious in the army, and they are highly skilled in martial arts, brave and resourceful, and as smart as an ant's nest.
The key is that the two of them have a very good relationship, which makes it less likely to cause conflicts. They can unanimously contain local officials, so sending them there is perfect. "
"I think so too." Li Yunze looked at Ye Mingxuan, "Brother, you and your second brother will stay in the capital to help me from now on.
There is no problem on the surface in the DPRK, but those old fritters have their own thoughts, and they are not as peaceful as they appear on the surface.
Moreover, the relationship between the courtiers is complicated, and it can be said that one move affects the whole body. Now we can only stabilize them first, and then slowly deal with it later. "
In fact, both of them know that the affairs between the DPRK and China are the most troublesome now. And don't be impatient, you have to be more cunning and patient than those old foxes.
Ye Mingxuan said solemnly: "Brother-in-law, don't worry. For you and my sister, Mingzhe and I will spend our lives to remove the obstacles. If anyone goes against you two, Mingzhe and I will kill him."
After hearing what he said, Li Yunze was stunned for a moment and bowed deeply to Ye Mingzhe, "Thank you, brother."
"Brother-in-law, you can't do this." Ye Mingxuan immediately supported him with both hands, "We are a family and have grown up together, and our relationship is real.
Even if you and Tongtong are not husband and wife, then we are still good brothers, not to mention you are still our brothers-in-law. Of course Mingzhe and I have to think about you two? "
"That's what the elder brother said."
Li Yunze poured him a cup of tea and talked about King Pingnan again, "Brother, after Tongtong and I get married, I will personally lead the troops south."
Ye Mingxuan understood what he was thinking. If it were him, he would definitely kill his enemy personally.
But Ping An's current status is different, he is the emperor. If you lead the troops to fight in person, what will happen to the affairs of the DPRK?
He advised tactfully: "Brother-in-law, if you go to war as soon as you ascend the throne, what will happen to the court? I'm afraid those ministers will not agree?"
"Brother, I have already thought about this and let Tongtong handle government affairs behind the curtain. You and second brother will assist her in handling government affairs."
Ye Mingxuan glanced at him and didn't dare to answer.
He didn't dare to agree to such a big thing as safety without his sister's consent.
Li Yunze saw that he was just drinking tea and not talking, and asked with a smile: "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Ye Mingxuan put down the tea cup and said helplessly: "Brother-in-law, there are so many poisonous snakes, insects and ants in the south, and I heard that the voodoo magic there is also very powerful. My sister will definitely not trust you to go alone, and she will probably follow you."
Li Yunze shook his head, "It's just that it's too dangerous over there, so I don't want Tongtong to follow him."
"Even if you don't let her go, won't she follow you secretly?" Ye Mingxuan looked at him helplessly: "When you both leave, what will happen to Chao Zhong?"
"That's right. That girl Tongtong is very stubborn and very concerned about my safety. If she insists on following me, who can stop her?" Li Yunze touched his chin and smiled sweetly.
Ye Mingxuan couldn't see him like this and glared at him.
"It's getting late, so go to bed early. The enthronement ceremony will be held in two days, and you'll be busy by then."
After he finished speaking, he walked out. He originally wanted to stay here for one night, but he didn't want to stay here now. He might as well go home.
I remembered that my sister was getting married soon, and now I was upset when I saw this brother-in-law.
Li Yunze shouted: "Hey, brother, why are you running so fast? I haven't finished speaking yet."
Unexpectedly, the more he shouted, the faster Ye Mingxuan ran.
Li Yunze sighed, drank all the tea in the cup, and returned to the room with a smile.
He originally planned to marry Ye Yutong first and then ascend the throne.
But the national master looked at the date, and Master Wuchen also helped him calculate the fortune. Both of them asked him to ascend the throne first and then be granted the title of queen.
He can ignore what others say, but he will definitely listen to what Master Wuchen says.
Now that Ye Yutong has moved to Ye Mansion, he, his uncle, and Uncle Xie Dong are the only ones in such a large courtyard. Although they are surrounded by guards, it still feels empty.
On the way back to his room, Li Yunze was still thinking that after he ascended the throne, he would immediately retract the confession for the Xie family, as well as Dr. Lei's family.
Over the years, Xie Dong and Doctor Lei have helped him a lot.
Especially Lei Taifu, who has helped him train many outstanding military doctors over the years.
He also taught his skills to every student without reservation, and saved the lives of countless soldiers.
Although Xie Dong did not save as many lives as Dr. Lei.
But Li Yunze saw all the help he had given over the years.
Not only did he want to retract their confessions, but he also wanted to give them promotions and titles.
