"Zhao Hanguang has been serving as the Minister of Guanglu Temple since three years ago and is in charge of banquets. He has a cautious temperament and has never made a mistake in the past three years, so he is firmly in his position. It is true that he has not changed."
Although Lian Zhou had been following his master in the North, he was quite familiar with these matters in Beijing.
Shen Yanchuan said: "I remember that he and Han Tong were classmates?"
Lian Zhou nodded: "Yes. The two have known each other for more than twenty years, and they often argued overtly and secretly. Later, they entered Guanglu Temple together, and they both tried their best to seize the position of Guanglu Temple Minister. Unfortunately, Han Tongqi was one step behind. Zhao became Zhao Hanguang's subordinate. It is said that the two of them were extremely difficult to deal with in private and had several quarrels at Guanglu Temple."
Of course Han Tong wanted to take his place, but he just didn't have the opportunity.
Shen Yanchuan nodded: "Then, help him."
Lian Zhou was surprised: "Master?"
Han Yao offended Doctor Ye, why did the master still want to help his father?
Shen Yanchuan seemed to smile.
"Outsiders think that these two people are at odds with each other, but they don't know that they both follow the same master."
Lian Zhou was shocked for a moment: "What!? But Han Tong is not following the second prince, so...so...in this case, Zhao Hanguang is also the second prince's person!?"
Didn’t everyone say that he was mediocre and never took sides? this……
Shen Yanchuan lowered his eyelashes, spread out a piece of rice paper again, and spoke in a casual tone.
"The second prince has a sinister temperament and ruthless methods. The most taboo thing is internal strife among his subordinates. Han Tong is obedient on the surface, but he may not really want this position in his heart. As long as Zhao Hanguang makes a mistake, he can go one step further. Since he wants it, give it to him. he is the one."
Lian Zhou understood: "So, what you mean is... one pot?"
Shen Yanchuan said quietly: "His people have controlled Guanglu Temple for so long, it's time to free up space."
…
Imperial College.
After Murong Ye left, everyone quickly became quiet again and opened books in their seats.
Ye Yunfeng also looked away.
"Hey? Hey!" The young man who first spoke to them waved, "Sit down quickly! If Master Si Ye sees you making trouble, it will be over!"
Ye Yunfeng said casually: "You mean the one outside? He has already left."
"Who? Which one are you talking about?" The young man looked confused.
Ye Jingyan changed the subject: "Everyone seems to be particularly in awe of Master Si Ye?"
"Of course!" The young man's attention was immediately diverted, and he covered his mouth and whispered, "You don't know the origin of Lord Si Ye? He is General Feng's nephew!"
Ye Jingyan's heart moved: "You mean, Feng Cheng, the general who saved the country back then?"
"That's right! His old man has contributed to the founding of the country! Both of his sons died in the battlefield, and only our Lord Si Ye, our nephew, is left. Think about it - what kind of status does this have!"
Speaking of this, Ye Yunfeng became a little interested.
"How come you come to the Imperial College to work as a clerk with such a background?"
A sixth-grade petty official would probably not be allowed to come to anyone with some background in his family.
The young man chuckled and said mysteriously: "You just came to the capital, so it's normal that you don't know! In fact, Master Si Ye also led the army to fight in the past, but didn't something happen three years ago? In the battle of Tongtian Pass, he I planned to lead the army to rescue, but for some reason, I was delayed on the road——"
Ye Jingyan's hand that turned over the book suddenly stopped.
Ye Yunfeng also narrowed his eyes slightly: "Tongtian Pass?"
"Yes! It's because of General Huo..." At this point, he coughed, "It was the time when tens of thousands of soldiers were tricked and killed. When Lord Si Ye arrived, it was already too late. I don't know if he saw it. I was so stimulated by the scene that I asked myself to leave the army and return to Beijing not long after."
"I heard that he stayed behind closed doors for three whole months. General Feng couldn't stand it, so he threw him into the Imperial College."
The young man spread his hands.
"That's about it."
"Master Si Ye was born in the military camp, so he is not so particular. If he sees someone who is displeased and disobedient, he will slap him casually!" I don't know what he thought of, but a trace of bitterness appeared on the young man's face, "That hurts too much! "
Ye Jingyan looked him over.
"I see, thank you for telling me. I just didn't know you..."
The young man laughed and said, "My name is Qiao Zimo!"
Ye Jingyan was a little surprised: "Your Majesty is... Mr. Qiao, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
Qiao Zimo's eyes showed surprise: "You know? I thought you had just arrived in the capital not long ago, so you didn't know anything about this - right! Just now you even guessed Murong Ye's identity, and it's normal for you to know me!"
As expected, there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the capital, especially the Imperial Academy. If you ask casually, you will most likely be a child of an extraordinary family.
Qiao Zimo secretly took out a slingshot from under the book and said to Ye Yunfeng: "You are Ye Yunfeng, right? I just saw that you seem to be quite strong. Do you want to go out to shoot birds after class?"
Ye Yunfeng clasped his hands behind his head, looking uninterested: "It's not interesting, I won't go."
Qiao Zimo was unwilling to give in and continued: "Go ahead! Could it be that you don't know how to do it?"
Ye Yunfeng glanced at his slingshot and sneered: "Is this a piece of crap like yours good enough to hit two birds? It's even hard to hit a rabbit!"
Qiao Zimo's eyes widened: "W-what did you say? I spent several hours carving this with my own hands!"
Ye Yunfeng chuckled and took his slingshot over.
"Look."
…
When Ye Chutang brought Xiao Wu back to Ye Mansion, the sky was already dark.
She was still carrying the snacks she bought from Lanyue Tower.
Xiao Wu climbed to the side table, arranged the chestnut cake on the plate, picked up the first piece and gave it to Ye Chutang.
——A sister’s!
Ye Chutang took it and took a bite.
It melts in your mouth, sweet but not greasy.
In fact, they had already eaten at Lanyuelou just now, but this snack still tasted delicious.
Why.
Ye Chutang held his chin in his hand, feeling melancholy.
Xiao Wu also took a bite of the chestnut cake. Seeing her like this, he moved his butt and sat over.
——A sister also misses the third brother and the fourth brother?
That's right, they have always been together in my memory and have never been separated.
It's really uncomfortable to have two people missing suddenly.
Ye Chutang looked back at her.
Xiao Wu sniffed and pointed to the remaining chestnut cake on the plate.
There should have been a third brother and a fourth brother! Do you want to keep it for them?
She misses them too...
Why.
Ye Chutang sighed again.
"If your fourth brother is away, there will be no one to cook in the future."
Xiaowu, who was about to put away the chestnut cakes and send them to the Third Brother and Fourth Brother to the Imperial College tomorrow: "..."
She silently finished the remaining half of the chestnut cake in her hand.
Ye Chutang: "I don't know if they will adapt to the Imperial Academy on their first day?"
…
The night was getting darker, and everything was quiet.
Suddenly, a sharp and sharp sound broke through the air!
Whoops!
A large flock of birds suddenly flew up!
A voice of shock and anger echoed through the night.
"Who did this!?"
