God-given mother: The villain cub is super clingy

The emperor was old, and he knew that the treasury was not rich, and there were no military generals. The rebels had been entrenched for several years. At first, they did act under the name of bandits. It was said that they had found the treasure of the previous dynasty, so they had the capital to start a rebellion. In just a few years, they had become a force to be reckoned with!

He even led the people to say that he was stupid.

The emperor knew that the climate in the northwest was dry and the people were suffering, but he was powerless. Local officials were replaced one after another and no results were achieved. One of the reasons was probably the obstruction of the court officials.

"What did the prince say?"

"He said the emperor has been wavering. If we don't add fuel to the fire, I'm afraid the northwest will become a major threat to the court!"

After a little thought, Ye Yin understood the prince's plan.

He is preparing to cut off the source of the problem!

The emperor did not want to start a war, but once the war broke out, he felt that the northwest was not very important. He was really getting confused!

Just imagine that once the rebels break free from the shackles of Xiashu Pass, their momentum will be like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins. They can gallop thousands of miles to the south, heading straight for the prosperous capital, and even cross the north bank of the Huai River, with beacon fires radiating the sky; in the north, they can easily retreat to the hinterland of Yongzhou, relying on the natural barrier, ready to strike.

If the imperial court slacks off at this moment and allows this force to go unpunished, this force will grow like weeds and become a cancer that is difficult to remove, causing endless harm. One day, it will turn into a giant beast that devours peace and become a major threat to the country!

This situation is like a sword hanging over our heads. We cannot afford to lose any time and must act decisively to avert danger and keep our country safe.

But he hesitated! He wavered!

He is old after all!

The more aggressive you are when you are young, the more timid you will be when you are old!

He took away the military power of many generals and suppressed them constantly, which resulted in a situation where there were no generals available in the court when war broke out.

That was the situation of the Southwest Palace back then, and now he is the only one left.

Over the years, Ye Yin has had some rebellious thoughts, but he really hates that position!

He just wanted to see what would become of him in the end.

Therefore, he often stayed in the southwest. Even though his power was growing stronger and the emperor had no way to deal with him, he just wouldn't rebel. He wanted to be the thorn in his heart that would make him unable to sleep or eat when he thought about it!

"Don't disrupt the prince's plans. Just cooperate when he needs you."

An Jiu was still confused. He hadn't figured it out yet! But the master already knew everything?

Ye Yin felt tired and glanced at An Er, meaning that he should explain.

"The Crown Prince is retreating to advance. The pro-war faction is keeping a low profile right now. Their goal is to let the pro-peace faction jump around more. If they jump around too much, they will become proud. Although the Prince of Liang is very calm in the court, he is constantly making small moves in private. The Crown Prince has sent people to secretly collect evidence. Once the evidence is complete, he will impeach him in court and let the emperor know who is the one who cares about the country!"

"Furthermore, Your Majesty has been deliberately elevating Prince Liang over the years, misleading him into believing he could compete with the Crown Prince. This is actually just a court balancing act. Prince Liang's mother, Concubine Li, comes from an obscure family and possesses no useful talents. She herself is clueless and only knows how to be jealous. How can she be compared to the Empress?"

"You must know that the Empress is the mother of a nation, and her family is full of talented people. Her grandfather was a veteran of three dynasties, her father was the Imperial Tutor, and her brother is the youngest head of the Hanlin Academy. Although His Majesty is old, he is not foolish. He knows that the future monarch must be the Crown Prince!"

"The reason I put the Crown Prince under house arrest this time is simply because I feel he's been advocating for war lately, has a somewhat hardline attitude, and has repeatedly offended his superiors, and I'm not happy with him!"

After hearing this, An Jiu already understood about 70% of it.

Fortunately, he is just a secret guard. He only needs to be loyal to his master and have great martial arts skills, so he doesn't need to think too much. Such a complicated matter really makes his head dizzy. He has to fight and make peace, but he also has to be scheming and fight with his mind. It's really troublesome!

Although both are secret guards, there is a clear difference between them. An Er has gone from secret to open and become an important person in charge of the southwest palace in the capital, while An Jiu is still just a secret guard. This shows the difference between having a brain and not having a brain.

Shadow looked at these two people and felt very emotional!

It seems that I should use my brain more in everything in the future, otherwise I will be so stupid that my master will be mad to death.

However, An Jiu is not without his merits. At least his lightness skills and disguise skills are unmatched, which also means that his position beside his master is destined to be unshakable.

As for myself! Besides kung fu, I also have to rely on my mouth!

At night, Ye Yin changed into night clothes and quietly went to the East Palace.

Hearing the familiar code, the prince's eyes lit up with joy, and he immediately cleared everyone in the room.

"Tianci, you're back? I told them not to inform you, but why did they still let you know?"

Ye Yin found a random place to sit down, looked at him carefully, and felt relieved when he saw that he looked fine.

"How can I cooperate with you if I don't know?"

The prince smiled slightly, as if he had expected him to say so.

"I told you, I can't hide it from you. Did you guess it?"

Compared to just now, the prince was more casual, with an air of ease all over his body. As he spoke, he walked to the tea table, sat down, and began to make tea. His movements were elegant and skillful, showing that he had done this many times.

"Tell me your plan."

The prince raised his eyebrows and smiled, his gentle eyes full of cunning.

"You've guessed it, why don't you tell me about it."

This brat is being naughty again! Ye Yin leaned back, completely losing his composure on the soft chair, tilting his head and slightly squinting his eyes.

"I'm too lazy to bother."

"Here, try it! This is your favorite Yizhichun tea. I only got a small packet, so I saved it for you!"

Hearing this, Ye Yin finally became a little interested. He picked up the cup, put it under his nose and smelled it, revealing a look of satisfaction.

"Hmm, new? Pretty fresh!"

A hint of pride appeared on the prince's face, "Then look at who I am!"

His youthful temperament was clearly revealed.

The way the two of them get along is extremely natural and harmonious, without any of the awkwardness between a ruler and his subjects. Instead, they seem like brothers who have been together for many years.

The prince admired and worshipped him, treated him intimately and casually, and even addressed him as "I".

Then he began to talk about his plan, and at the end he was like a child waiting for praise, waiting for Ye Yin's judgment.

"Aren't you afraid of pushing them too far?"

The prince lowered his eyes, a hint of worry appearing on his face, and his youthful temperament was completely gone.

"I'm not afraid. I'm only afraid that the world will fall into chaos and the people will suffer. When that happens, the people will have no way to survive. That's what I fear most! I just hope to do my best to maintain peace in this world."

"Also, they've always wanted you to stabilize the southwest, but in my opinion, if it weren't for you, he would have already lost his throne! You've always known me. I want to sit in that position, not just for the sake of the world."

Ye Yin couldn't bear to see his expression, so he replied lazily.

"In that case, let's follow your plan! I'll take care of the rest!"

In the blink of an eye, the prince's face lit up with joy, his gloomy expression gone. "I knew it! You will definitely support me!"

"However, you must also be prepared. After all, my strength is limited. Even if you succeed in the end, they may not let me deal with the rebels."

"I know that even if there's no one available in the court, this war must still be fought. I don't believe that, apart from you, among the generals who represent half of the court, there's no one who can defeat those traitors! If you're really so cowardly, it's like telling the people that the world is going to be in chaos! Then the people will have a harder time. If that doesn't work out, I'll go to the battlefield myself!"

The prince had a firm expression, and there was a kind of compassion on the young man's face, a compassion that came from the heart.

If Ye Yin had not grown up with him and knew his temper well, he would probably think he was too kind!

Now it seems that beneath the surface of Renhe, there is still a bit of bloodiness!

As the future heir to the throne, both means and benevolence are indispensable.

So, intentionally or unintentionally, he became the invisible knife behind him.

"If that's the case, then just go for it! Remember, don't hesitate! If one day you have to go to the battlefield yourself, there is only one possibility..."

The two looked at each other deeply, and both understood the situation that Ye Yin was talking about.

"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about you! I heard that you went to the northwest in person this time. What did you gain?"

Ye Yin put down the teacup and told him about his trip to the northwest. The two adjusted some plans based on his trip to the northwest.

It was only at the end of the Yin hour that Ye Yin yawned.

"It's getting late. I'm leaving now. My whereabouts cannot be exposed for the time being. Be careful!"

"it is good!"

The prince was reluctant to leave, so he stood up and walked him to the window, watching him disappear into the darkness. Only then did he turn around, a smile on his face. If he had felt a little worried before, after meeting Ye Yin, that little bit of worry in his heart disappeared. He felt safe and secure, and even if there were any unknown risks ahead, he didn't care!
