In the following days, Ye Wuyi was busy with the demolition work.

After many rounds of communication, negotiation, and intimidation... finally, the residents of the six western districts of the city agreed to the court's demolition plan and signed a demolition agreement with the court.

Ye Wuwei led the imperial guards to set up tents, stoves, etc. in the open space on the outskirts of the city, and temporarily relocated the residents in the west of the city there.

Captain Wang and his three hundred guards were also stationed near the residents in the west of the city to protect their safety.

……

While Ye Wuwei was busy as hell, Qi Wushuang also encountered some trouble.

Little Dengzi tiptoed into the side hall of the Taiji Palace and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Ren is still kneeling outside, asking you to make a decision for him."

What kind of bullshit is this?!

Qi Wushuang frowned and rubbed his temples. He had been sleeping poorly recently and his headaches were getting worse.

Looking at Qi Wushuang who was becoming increasingly haggard and thin, Xiao Dengzi said softly, "Minister Ye always has a lot of ideas. Why not let him come up with one?"

Qi Wushuang paused rubbing his temple, then put his hand down, and his brows relaxed.

"Go see Wu Wei in person and tell him I have something to talk to him about."

After finishing speaking, Qi Wushuang paused for a moment and then continued, "If he is busy, it's okay if he doesn't come to the palace. Let him help come up with some ideas."

Xiao Dengzi agreed.

I don’t know what happened between Your Majesty and Minister Ye that day?

Since that day, His Majesty has become even more silent, saying only a few words a day, and he has become noticeably haggard and thinner.

However, it seems that His Majesty is still very "favorable" to Minister Ye, and even whether to come to the palace for an audience is up to Minister Ye's decision.

Xiao Dengzi found Ye Wuwei in the Sixth Ward in the west of the city.

At that time, Ye Wuwei and the imperial guards were helping the residents in the west of the city to relocate.

Seeing little Dengzi, Ye Wuwei stopped what he was doing and greeted him: "Eunuch Deng, how come you have time to come today?"

Little Dengzi looked at Ye Wuwei. Although he was wearing coarse clothes, he was still full of energy.

Thinking of the haggard and emaciated Qi Wushuang in the Taiji Hall, little Dengzi suddenly felt sorry for Qi Wushuang.

Little Dengzi said unkindly, "Minister Ye, His Majesty wants to see you."

"what's up?"

Seeing that Ye Wuwei had no intention of entering the palace, Xiao Dengzi could only take him to a quiet place nearby and tell him what happened.

The three princes fought over the private property of the former emperor. Qi Yuli was beaten by his two younger brothers, and the property allocated to him was also snatched away by his two younger brothers. General Qi became ill and was bedridden due to anger.

Qi Yuli knelt in front of the Taiji Hall and asked the new emperor to make the decision.

The new emperor couldn't just raid the homes of the other two princes just because the brothers divided the property unevenly, so he was troubled.

"Minister Ye, His Majesty is already busy with state affairs every day, and he still has to worry about these trivial matters. Please share some of his burden."

Ye Wuwei really didn't expect that Qi Yuye and Qi Yuchang would even give up their reputation for money!

After all, they are all born as princes and have half the blood of aristocratic families in their bodies!

Ye Wuwei gave Xiao Dengzi an idea.

As Xiao Dengzi listened, he thought to himself: Only Minister Ye could come up with such a cunning idea!

After Ye Wuwei finished speaking about his idea, he said to Xiao Dengzi:

"You should take care of His Majesty's daily life and advise him more often.

Don't drink on an empty stomach, don't overeat, try to stay up late less, and get more rest."

Little Dengzi glanced at Ye Wuwei: "My persuasion is useless."

Ye Wuwei was silent for a moment: Never mind, there are some things he shouldn’t worry about.

After returning to the palace, Xiao Dengzi told Ye Wuwei about his idea.

Qi Wushuang smiled:

"Only Wu Wei could come up with such a tricky idea, but this is the only idea that works best against shameless people."

After he finished speaking, he asked again, "Is Wu Wei Ke okay?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Dengzi was a little dissatisfied: "Minister Ye is doing very well and looks radiant."

Qi Wushuang was silent.

Originally, he wanted Ye Wuwei but couldn't get her, and Ye Wuwei had also tried with him before, so naturally he didn't have any psychological burden.

Ye Wuwei couldn't be blamed for what happened between them, he could only blame himself for not falling in love first.

But he really couldn't let it go from then on!

Seeing that Qi Wushuang had no other instructions, Xiao Dengzi went down and ordered Qi Yuye and Qi Yuchang to be "invited" to the palace as guests.

After Qi Yuye and Qi Yuchang entered the palace, they were locked up in a side hall with guards guarding the door.

There is no toilet in this side hall.

Qi Wushuang had people deliver water and food on a regular basis every day, but he would not let the two of them leave the house.

A day later, Qi Yuye couldn't bear it anymore and asked the person who delivered the food to tell him that they wanted to see His Majesty.

Qi Wushuang didn't meet them and asked Xiao Dengzi to meet them.

Little Dengzi said:

"Please calm down, my two princes. It is because Prince Ren has been kneeling before the Taiji Palace every day, begging Your Majesty to make a decision for him. Your Majesty has been unable to do so, so you invited the two princes into the palace as guests."

Qi Yuye angrily said, "Is this a visit? This is imprisonment!"

Qi Yuchang was smarter and asked, "What exactly does Your Majesty want?"

"His Majesty said: This is a matter between you three brothers, and you three brothers need to discuss it among yourselves. It is not for him to make the decision.

Tomorrow, His Majesty will have Prince Ren come to discuss this with you."

On the second day, Qi Yuli was taken to the outside of this side hall.

Naturally, nothing was done to reach an agreement that day.

At the same time, Empress Zhuang and Concubine Yuwen both asked to meet Qi Wushuang, but Qi Wushuang refused.

Grand Tutor Zhuang and Grand Tutor Yuwen also came forward to plead for Qi Yuye and Qi Yuchang. Qi Wushuang pushed the matter to Qi Yuli with one sentence:

"If you want to plead for mercy, go to Prince Ren. As long as Prince Ren agrees, I have no objection."

Faced with such a huge fortune and now with Qi Wushuang's support, Qi Yuli naturally would not agree.

However, Imperial Tutor Zhuang and Imperial Tutor Yuwen really didn't want to make a fuss over such an embarrassing matter again and again, so when they saw that Qi Yuli refused to agree, they stopped.

Five days later, Qi Yuye and Qi Yuchang finally compromised and promised to return the property they had stolen from Qi Yuli after returning home, but Qi Yuli insisted on returning the property first.

Two days later, Qi Yuye could no longer hold on and ordered someone to return the property that had been stolen from Qi Yuli to Qi Yuli.

Qi Yuye was released.

It is said that Qi Yuye was stinking when he came out.

Qi Yuchang held on for two days longer than Qi Yuye, but finally, seeing that Qi Wushuang had no room for maneuver, he had to return the property to Qi Yuli.

Qi Yuchang was locked in the room for two more days, and his body smelled only worse than Qi Yuye's.

After Qi Yuli recovered his property, he went to thank Qi Wushuang. Qi Wushuang said calmly:

"It was Minister Ye who came up with the idea, so if you want to thank someone, thank him.

Also, you have to pay someone to repair that side hall, otherwise it will just be abandoned."

Compared with the lost property that was recovered, Qi Yuli would naturally do such a small thing.

In addition, Xiao Dengzi and the guards guarding Qi Yuye and Qi Yuchang all received red envelopes from Qi Yuli.

Qi Wushuang has already spoken, so Ye Wuwei’s thank-you gift will not be small.

Ye Wuwei didn't take this matter to heart, but after Qi Yuchang knew that it was Ye Wuwei's idea to lock him up in the side hall without a toilet, he truly hated Ye Wuwei.

Because that was the greatest humiliation he had ever suffered in his life!

Knowing that Ye Wuwei was in charge of the demolition, Qi Yuchang began to plan something bad to deal with Ye Wuwei.
