After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

When Ye Wuwei and Qi Wushuang hated the world, some officials' families were not so calm.

Qi Taiwei Mansion

General Qi was asking Qi Guangren, "What do you think of what happened at the banquet today, Grand Tutor Yuwen?"

Qi Guangren thought for a moment and said:

"I'm not sure if Grand Tutor Yuwen had any intention of secretly framing Yuwen Qian by recommending her to Your Majesty, but with Minister Ye messing things up today, even if he didn't, it must have been there."

"What do you think of Minister Ye?"

"A few days ago, there was a disturbance in the suburban new district, but Minister Ye reacted quickly and subdued it on the spot.

Later, Minister Ye's solution was also perfect, with almost no fault to be found, which showed that he was not only decisive but also had vision.

As for today's incident, although Minister Ye's behavior was a bit extreme, don't you think that only by responding in this way can we fundamentally eliminate Grand Tutor Yuwen's thoughts?"

"You're right. After what happened today, it won't be that easy for Yuwen to send a girl to the palace again."

General Qi sighed:

"I'm really old, and my mind can't keep up with you young people. I can't think of a countermeasure like what Minister Ye did today.

Also, the method he used against the two princes a few days ago was also..."

General Qi was too embarrassed to speak out such dirty things.

Qi Guangren hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Father, everything Your Majesty has done in the past two months has benefited the country and the people. Having such a monarch is a blessing for the people."

General Qi sighed again:

"Well, you are a man of your own plans, so do whatever you want.

Minister Ye was right when he said: There is no eternal clan, and no eternal emperor.

Qi Guangren knew that this was because General Qi agreed that he should stand on Qi Wushuang's side and help Qi Wushuang disintegrate the power of the aristocratic families.

Qi Guangren then changed the subject:

"One more thing.

My third uncle asked me to match my cousin with Minister Ye. I went to see Minister Ye today, but he refused."

"Marriage should be between two families. If Minister Ye is not interested, then we can marry into the Shui family.

But this matter needs to be settled quickly."

Qi Guangren asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"I just received news that Princess Yunshang and her children have come to Qamdo to congratulate His Majesty on his ascension to the throne on September 9th. They will be arriving soon.

Princess Yunshang's children are all unmarried."

"You mean Princess Yunshang is asking for a marriage on behalf of her children?"

"Probably."

Princess Yunshang is the daughter of the late emperor and the elder sister of Qi Wushuang. She married the chieftain of Muyi in Nanling.

Nanling is located in a remote area with a harsh environment, long-term miasma, and a depressed economy.

Although it was under the control of the Qi Dynasty, the chieftain had great power in the local area and could be regarded as a local emperor.

Twenty-two years ago, there was a riot in Nanling. In order to quell the riot, the late emperor married Princess Yunshang to the chieftain of Muyi in Nanling.

Although Princess Yunshang's son was named the Crown Prince early on, he still needs to seek help from other forces if he wants to secure the position of Crown Prince, and marriage is the best way.

There is nothing wrong in marrying a chieftain's daughter, but if she were to marry him to a desolate and barren place like Nanling, I'm afraid no girl would be willing to do so.

When the decision was made on the candidate to marry to Nanling, neither of the late emperor's two daughters had been arranged to marry. However, Princess Renshou had a close relationship with Qi Wushuang's mother, Concubine Yu. It was only after the late emperor asked Concubine Yu for help that he married Princess Yunshang to Nanling.

But Princess Yunshang hated Concubine Yu because of this, and also became enemies with Princess Renshou.

Now that Qi Wushuang has become the emperor, if Grand Duke Yunchang asks Qi Wushuang for a marriage based on this matter, I'm afraid Qi Wushuang will find it difficult to refuse.

Thinking of this, Qi Guangren said:

"Even if cousin wants to discuss marriage at this moment, it cannot be with the Shui family, otherwise Princess Yunshang will probably hate us."

The Shui family was the husband's family of Princess Renshou. Princess Renshou relied on her good relationship with Concubine Yu to recruit the second son of the Shui family as her husband.

Hearing what Qi Guangren said, General Qi thought for a moment:

"What you said makes sense, there's no need to make more enemies for no reason.

Tell your uncle the key points and let him make his own judgment."

Qi Guangren agreed.

……

In addition to General Qi, the residence of Grand Tutor Yuwen was also bustling tonight.

It turned out that there was one more person in Yuwen Taishi's house tonight: Yuwen Taishi's illegitimate son, the new Minister of Justice, and County Earl Lu Zhaozhong.

Some time ago, Grand Tutor Yuwen told Lu Zhaozhong that he could return to his ancestral home.

Lu Zhaozhong hated Master Yuwen and the Yuwen family, but his biological mother's obsession was for him to return to his ancestral home, so he went to ask Qi Wushuang for his opinion.

Qi Wushuang said it was up to him, and after thinking about it for a few days, he agreed to Master Yuwen.

The reason why Lu Zhaozhong agreed was that he thought that after he returned to his ancestral home, he might be able to help Qi Wushuang deal with the Yuwen clan in the future.

Tonight, Grand Tutor Yuwen called him to his residence on the pretext of a Mid-Autumn Festival reunion.

After drinking a few cups of wine, Yuwen Taishi asked Lu Zhaozhong: "What kind of person is Ye Wuwei?"

Lu Zhaozhong knew that Master Yuwen was here because of today's banquet, so he thought for a moment and said:

“I am not familiar with Minister Ye, but Your Majesty knew him when he was in Anping County.

When he was in Anping County, he presented His Majesty with a method of refining coke, and His Majesty kept him in Anping County to refine coke.

It was originally thought that it would take many years to produce coke, but Minister Ye only took two years to produce it.

Not only that, he also forged iron weapons.

His Majesty therefore summoned him to Chamdo.

After arriving in Chamdo, he spent all day in the workshop, mingling with the craftsmen, and developed glass, grenades and bombs.

Because of his outstanding talents, Your Majesty trusts him very much.

But he has no friendship with any of us. Besides interacting with Chu Shoufu, Qi Cheng, and Qi Wu, he's only slightly familiar with Commander Nie."

What Lu Zhaozhong said was public knowledge, and even if he didn't say it, Master Yuwen would know it.

For example, he did not mention Ye Wuwei's plan for attacking the imperial palace, or his proposal to change the official system and the official selection system.

As for Ye Wuwei's assassination of the emperor, Lu Zhaozhong would not even mention it.

"I heard that Ye Wuwei was born a beggar?"

“When Your Majesty met him, he was indeed a beggar, but he had lost his memory and did not know his own life experience.

But do you think a beggar can have such great ability?"

Seeing that Lu Zhaozhong had not lied to him, Yuwen Taishi was quite pleased.

Even if I abandoned you and disowned you back then, so what? Don't you still have to please me now in order to recognize your roots?

If Lu Zhaozhong knew what Master Yuwen was thinking, he would probably want to beat him to death!

However, Lu Zhaozhong did not expect that Master Yuwen was so shameless that he added something to the wine he drank.

That night, Lu Zhaozhong rested in the Grand Tutor's Mansion. When he woke up, a girl was lying next to him.

This girl is the second daughter of Zhang Muliao, the most trusted confidant of Grand Tutor Yuwen.

Miss Zhang said that she was ordered by the Grand Tutor to deliver hangover soup to Lu Zhaozhong, but she was raped by the drunk Lu Zhaozhong.

At the right time, Grand Tutor Yuwen entered Lu Zhaozhong's room and witnessed all this, and asked him to take Miss Zhang as his concubine.

Lu Zhaozhong knew that he was being framed by Master Yuwen, but since things had come to this point, there was no point in regretting it. He could only blame himself for not being vigilant enough.
