Prince Xiao's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has praised me a lot recently, and has discussed with the officials many times about my promotion. I think that although Manjiang Tower's plan did not succeed, Li Ping, a fool who is at odds with the Ye family, wants to come here to stabilize the Ye family. , I’m afraid I don’t intend to let Li Ping become a scholar.”

A man in low-grade official robes stood respectfully in front of the desk. Sitting on his lower right hand was Shen Yan. Their eyes were on Gong Chengxuan, who was leaning on the desk.

"Brother Wang Xian, don't be deceived by appearances. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."

Shen Yan stood up from his seat.

After hearing what Shen Yan said, Wang You couldn't help but look sideways at him: "What does Brother Shen mean?"

"Although King Yi ordered the censor to keep impeaching the Li family and Li Ping, in the final analysis, there was no major incident between Li Ping and the Yelan siblings. Moreover, he also personally came to apologize and his attitude was sufficient. If your Majesty is really serious, I have promoted you a long time ago, so why do you need to do some empty things? I'm afraid these are His Majesty's expedient measures, and he still prefers Li Ping in his heart."

Shen Yan's words are reasonable, but Wang You is a little puzzled: "He is not as talented as me, and even has bad conduct. There are countless articles of impeachment from the imperial censor. Is it possible that your majesty still wants to forcibly promote him despite the advice of civil servants?" Li Ping?"

"Having said that, in His Majesty's eyes, everything Li Ping did was just a trivial matter." Gong Chengxuan answered the question for Shen Yan, "Now the Emerging Sect and the Aristocratic Sect have been fighting for a long time, and the Aristocratic Sect has a deep foundation and still controls the situation. In the Ministry of Personnel, Your Majesty will definitely not see the aristocratic sect being dominated by one person, otherwise Your Majesty will not support the emergence of a new sect."

After hearing this, Wang You suddenly understood and said: "So your Majesty will definitely not let people from the aristocratic family get such an important official position as Zhongshu Sheren. Because it is equivalent to hanging a knife at the throat."

"So Li Ping has to be eliminated." Gong Chengxuan said solemnly, "But now that Li Ping feels that his status is not guaranteed, he will definitely be very careful. It may be difficult to find any loopholes."

"That's not necessarily the case." Shen Yan said.

"Oh?" Gong Chengxuan looked over after hearing this and saw Shen Yan looking confident, "It seems you have an idea."

Shen Yan smiled and nodded. He came here for this reason. The Manjiang Tower plan failed because of him, so Shen Yan urgently needs an opportunity to express himself and repair the relationship with Gong Chengxuan.

Thanks to him being prepared and wooing Lan Yu around Yelan, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of this.

"Li Ping is arrogant by nature, so why would he obediently go to Ye's house to apologize? Didn't he make a big fuss because he knelt down to apologize? In fact, it was not of his own free will, but Ye Lan used his official position as a Zhongshusheren to force Li Ping to kneel down. "

Speaking of this, Shen Yan was actually a little frightened. He didn't expect that Yelan would understand the situation in the court so well. Fortunately, he didn't lose his composure at that time, otherwise Yelan would have suspected him with his intelligence.

But it happened to be a mistake and gave them a chance.

He paused and continued: "Not only is Li Ping being humiliated, he may not even be able to keep his official position. In this case, does the prince think that according to Li Ping's temperament, he may sit back and wait for death?"

Gong Chengxuan sat up straight and listened carefully to Shen Yan's words.

"I know that the prince hasn't gotten rid of Ye Feng's classmates yet. Isn't now the time for him to come in handy?"

Shen Yan told the two of them his plan.

After hearing this, Gong Chengxuan and Wang You couldn't help but nodded.

Wang You showed an expression of wonder, "In terms of resourcefulness, I am not as good as Brother Shen."

Shen Yan said humbly: "My dear brother, you have disgraced me. Your talent is unparalleled in the world."

Gong Chengxuan stood up and praised: "Shen Qing's brilliant plan, I will completely rely on you in this matter. I must get rid of Li Ping and severely damage the Ye family."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Shen Yan will definitely live up to his trust."

Shen Yan secretly made up his mind that the Manjiang Tower incident had made the prince disappointed in him. If he failed a second time, his position as chief confidant would definitely be shaken, so this time he could only succeed and never fail.

……

After a few days, the rumors outside became more and more intense, and even reached the point where someone would secretly throw rotten eggs in front of Li's house. As soon as Li Ping went out, he was splashed with horse urine. He was so angry that he went into a rage and beat him several times. A common people.

It was not a trivial matter for the children of aristocratic families to beat the common people, and the censor found the right opportunity to impeach him. The prime minister was so angry that he took Li Ping's family law into his hands, and then sent someone to pick up someone in a carriage overnight.

Word spread in the streets and alleys that the prime minister thought that his legitimate son had no future and planned to take the illegitimate son back.

Regarding the vigorous situation outside, Ye Lan turned over the military manual in his hand with great satisfaction and said to Qingye: "The few people you found to spread the news did a good job. I will reward them with more money later and silence them." , don’t show any trace.”

Aoba nodded, "I understand, girl."

During this period of time, the girl kept asking her to ask people to make a big deal about Li Ping. She originally thought that the girl wanted to use this to prevent Li Ping from becoming an official, but the girl denied her last time.

She thought for a long time and still didn't understand why she continued to do meaningless things since she couldn't take away Li Ping's official position?

It's just that girls always have ideas, and Qingye doesn't ask questions.

Seeing Qingye's hesitant look, Yelan put down the military strategy: "Are you curious why I did this?"

Qingye didn't dare to hide his head and nodded.

"Do you think you can spread the news to this point with just the few people you found?" Yelan said, "I'm just throwing a few bricks and mortar, waiting for the big fish to take the bait."

Li Ping is just a sidekick, her real purpose is to prevent Wang You from becoming a member of Zhongshushe.

Now that the bait has been thrown out, we are just waiting for when the two sides will take the bait.

Qingye had anything else he wanted to ask, but Lan Yu shouted from outside: "Girl, the Crown Prince is here!"

Ye Feng's voice came from afar, "Sister, on the way back, I saw your favorite mung bean cake being sold. I bought some and brought it to you to try!"

Hearing this, Ye Lan felt warm in his heart. He stood up and went to the door to greet him. When he saw his younger brother carrying a food box, he couldn't help but said: "You, can't the cook at the mung bean cake make this mung bean cake? You even bought it on the way and brought it back. It's not a bother." ?"

"I took a bite and thought it tasted better than what I cooked at home, so I bought it back. Sister, please try it quickly. If it tastes good, I will invite you to my home later." Ye Feng handed the food box to him like a treasure. Come up and blink at the night sky.

Seeing Ye Feng like this, Ye Lan didn't know what to say.

The two of them sat around the table. Qingye closed the door, opened the food box, and handed the mung bean cake to Ye Lan.

While Ye Lan was eating, seeing her relaxed brows, Ye Feng pulled her sleeve corner, "Sister... I have something to tell you."

"No wonder you suddenly bought me mung bean cake." Ye Lan laughed and said, "You were just waiting to bribe me."
