During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Zhang Zhenghai sighed, "Your Majesty really plans to reopen the Ye family's case, but wouldn't this cause waves?"

As the commander of the guards, Chu He used to be a soldier beside General Ye. He has a natural affection for the Ye family. "General Ye is loyal and patriotic. It is absolutely impossible for him to commit treason."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Zhenghai with meaning.

Zhang Zhenghai happened to meet his gaze, and he was confused and said with a bit of annoyance.

"Of course I can trust General Ye, but the case back then was a sensation. Every crime was serious, and how many people were involved in each case? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to stir up trouble if we conduct a thorough investigation now?"

Seeing that the world was peaceful, he wanted to have a good rest and did not want to see blood flowing into a river.

The emperor has not been very strong in the past two years and rarely does anything to stir up trouble. The prince does a lot of jumping up and down, but he can't make any waves.

His Majesty suddenly wanted to investigate the Ye family's rebellion case, which always seemed to be contrary to his previous formal style.

The cold wind shaved my face like a razor, and the hot breath I just exhaled turned into dense needles pricking my face and neck in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Zhenghai shrank his neck, glanced at someone from the palace passing by, and quickly straightened up, stopping at the palace wall.

Chu He landed one step in front of him and turned to look at him, "Sir, are you worried that a thorough investigation of the Ye family's rebellion will shock the court?"

Zhang Zhenghai neither nodded nor shook his head, his expression was a bit complicated.

"When I first discovered the traces of Ye Shaohua, I had doubts, but at that time there were no soldiers to send in the court, so I had no choice but to inform Your Majesty of his whereabouts and let him attack the Xianbei people. Now I don't know whether the original decision was right. Still wrong.”

Chu He curled his lips, "General Ye has great merits, but he was plotted by a villain. Now a thorough investigation of the Ye family's rebellion case can be regarded as a wake-up call for those with ulterior motives. Your Majesty's move is probably to beat the crown prince, and even more so. The prince has cleared the obstacles, but I don’t know if the prince can understand.”

Zhang Zhenghai took a breath and nodded after a while, "But I think your majesty's thoughts will be in vain. The prince is close to the aristocratic family. More than half of the women in the East Palace are from aristocratic families. It is not that easy for the prince to put aside the relationship with the aristocratic family. .”

Not everyone can refuse a member of the aristocratic family.

Needless to say for ordinary people, the aristocratic family can crush them to death in minutes. Even the prince can only be close to him when faced with the aristocratic family's pursuit and interception.

"If the first prince is still here..." Chu He suddenly sighed.

Zhang Zhenghai was startled, "You dare to say this without fear of reaching His Highness the Crown Prince's ears."

Chu He couldn't stand Zhang Zhenghai's cowering look, "Don't worry, there's no one around. The conversation between you and me won't reach the prince's ears. I'm just feeling a little emotional."

Zhang Zhenghai looked around and sighed: "The first prince had character, but Huiji died young. This world is not only your majesty's world, but also the world of the aristocratic family. The first prince was too strong. This is not what the aristocratic family wants to see. "

Chu He's shoulders relaxed, "Indeed."

Zhang Zhenghai's eyebrows jumped and he looked at Chu He in shock, "Do you think Ye Shaohua's appearance has something to do with the former prince? The two were once brothers, and they both practiced martial arts under General Ye and had a deep relationship."

Chu He frowned, looking forward to it, "If this is really the case, it will really be chaos."

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, His Majesty went to the military camp to sympathize with Ye Shaohua's chamberlain, who finally arrived, read a long list of gifts, and finally presented a land deed. “General Ye, you must be familiar with this house.”

Ye Shaohua's brows trembled. Of course he was familiar with it, "This was the Ye family's house back then. I thought His Majesty had given this house away long ago."

"How could it be? Your Majesty has often missed General Ye over the years, but for some reason he couldn't predict and stayed in this house. The prince had asked for it before, but was rejected by your Majesty. Your Majesty also punished him for this. The prince is here."

Ye Shaohua tightened his grip on the land deed and invited the servant in.

Guo Hao and others hurriedly stopped the accompanying officials from the Ministry of Rites.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites thought that His Majesty had a secret order for Ye Shaohua, so they took advantage of the situation and left.

The chamberlain walked into the tent, and after confirming that no one was around, he knelt down with a plop, tears gushing out like water that had been simmering for a long time and said, "Slave Feng Ji Zhong pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Luo Tingye's eyes turned red and he quickly helped him up, "Get up quickly."

Feng Jizhong was originally a chamberlain in the East Palace, but he did not serve Luo Tingye and was only responsible for cleaning the study.

During the visit to the palace, he stayed in the palace because he was infected with the cold. Later, Luo Tingye died, and a large number of people in the East Palace were transferred away. Some of them died quietly. It was Eunuch Fulin who saved him and took him back. As his apprentice, he stayed in the royal study to serve him.

The emperor often appointed him to read out imperial edicts because of his service to Luo Tingye. Now he was considered the number one figure in the palace, and even the prince did not dare to embarrass him easily.

Although Feng Ji was a noble person in front of others, he always thought of Luo Tingye in his heart.

Feng Jizhong cried for half the time, his eyes were red from crying, but he was happy in his heart, "Before I came, the master said that I could see His Highness, but I didn't believe it. Now that I have actually seen him, I always feel like it's a dream."

Luo Tingye groaned: "Only Eunuch Fulin in the palace knows that you are alone. He sent you here, which shows that you are trustworthy."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jizhong immediately knelt down to express his loyalty, "I have been serving His Highness since I was a child. Although I am not as close as the people around His Highness, Your Highness is kind to me. If it hadn't been for Your Highness, I would have been beaten to death. How can I forget this great favor that His Highness saved me and taught me how to read and write?"

Luo Tingye helped him up and breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course Gu believes in you, but what happened back then has always been a thorn in Gu's heart. There was a traitor beside Gu, but to this day, Gu doesn't know. Who is this traitor?"

Feng Jizhong's red eyes raised, and he followed Luo Tingye step by step, "Master has been secretly investigating this matter. For this reason, his only nephew was killed."

"I know."

After waking up in Hewan Village, Luo Tingye spent a long time investigating before he dared to contact people in the capital.

The only person he could trust in the palace was Eunuch Fulin, but when Sun Ming brought the news that he was still alive, he brought back the news that Eunuch Fulin's clan had been exterminated.

He knew that those people must have done it, and they did not want Father Fulin to investigate, but he also knew that his father-in-law was upright and would not change his determination.

In order to prevent him from doing something irreversible, Luo Tingye secretly went to the capital and met with Eunuch Fulin.
