What else can he do?
In broad daylight, he naturally didn't dare to do anything like forcibly abducting a girl. He just wanted the girl to follow him on her own initiative.
"Really? I think you are the most dangerous! If you don't want me to tell your uncle about what happened today, leave quickly!" Wei Cunqing threatened.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fu turned around and left without saying a word.
Seeing Ye Fu disappear around the corner, Wei Cunqing said nervously, "Qin'er! He didn't do anything to you, did he? Ye Fu has always been a lecher. You should avoid him when you see him next time."
Liu Qin shook her head. "It's okay! He just stopped me and said something, but he didn't do anything excessive. Seventh Brother, why are you here?"
Wei Cunqing smiled and said, "I was out doing something and happened to pass by here. I didn't expect to run into you. Actually, Ye Fu is not a bad person. If I hadn't been here today, he wouldn't have done anything to you."
He had just come out of the prefect's mansion and was about to return to the Prince of Zhennan's mansion. He saw a figure that looked like Liu Qin's, so he followed her. Unexpectedly, it was really Liu Qin, and she also met Ye Fu.
His uncle has two sons. The crown prince Ye Yun is both talented in literature and martial arts. He has been obedient, sensible, mature and steady since childhood. Over the years, he has been in harmony with the crown prince's wife Zhao. Zhao gave birth to three sons in a row and became more and more favored. He only has Zhao as the crown prince's wife and has no other concubines.
Ye Fu is just the opposite. He has been naughty and unlearned since he was a child. He liked to skip school when he was young and caused trouble everywhere with a group of playboys. When he grew up, he was greedy for pleasure and only liked romance. He lingered in red-light districts and had many wives and concubines.
Ye Xiaotian is a man of strict discipline. Naturally, he likes his eldest son who is mature and steady, and dislikes his second son who is uneducated, lustful and incompetent.
He couldn't control Ye Fu and just asked Ye Fu to move out.
Now Ye Fu no longer lives in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, but lives a carefree life in his house in the north of the city.
Normally, the father and son would try not to see each other, but now Ye Xiaotian was busy with his journey north and had no energy to pay attention to Ye Fu.
Although Ye Fu is a playboy and lustful, he is not a wicked person.
Even if he didn't show up today, Ye Fu would at most bother Liu Qin for a while, and would not really do anything out of line.
"Okay! I'm fine! Seventh brother, you should go back soon. You still have things to do in Kyoto. You don't have to be distracted by me. We can take care of ourselves." Liu Qin told him not to be distracted by them.
They were safe at the Liu residence, so she just needed to go out less in the coming days.
"Okay! Be careful. It's the end of the year. Try to stay out of the house unless necessary." Wei Cunqing reminded.
Especially recently, many people have left Raozhou City, but Ye Xiaotian told the prefect not to pay any attention to them. If they want to leave, let them leave on their own.
With so many people in the city, there will always be some who are willing to stay.
The reality was just as Ye Xiaotian had expected. Less than one-tenth of the people in the city left. Most of the people chose to stay and choose to live and die with Ye Xiaotian.
However, Ye Xiaotian did not intend to wait for the soldiers from Kyoto to attack the city. He was already prepared and was ready to rush out first.
In a few days, the envoy of King Zhenbei will also arrive in Raozhou, and then they will discuss returning to the capital to rescue the king.
They have secretly contacted many military generals in the court. Some are willing to help, while others choose to stand idly by. Perhaps the only one who can really stop them from entering Beijing is General Weiyuan Jiang He.
Ye Xiaotian sent someone to look for Jiang He, but Jiang He flatly refused.
Jiang He didn't intend to help them, nor did he intend to stand idly by.
Jiang He’s central army camp has 300,000 soldiers. If a war breaks out, it will definitely cost money and casualties. This is the situation that Ye Xiaotian least wants to see.
But there was no way out. They had no way to retreat. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, they had no choice but to move forward.
In addition to the central army camp, there are also 80,000 soldiers from the city defense camp led by Gu Sanzhong.
These 80,000 people are all soldiers who live a life of luxury in Kyoto City and are nothing to be afraid of. The only one who gives him a headache now is Jiang He!
His Ye family army had only 100,000 soldiers, and together with other generals who supported them, it only made up a total of about 300,000 soldiers.
But their soldiers may not all be of one mind, and may not have the tacit understanding that the soldiers in the central camp have.
"In two days, an envoy from the King of Zhenbei will arrive. After discussing with the envoy, we will march into the capital to rescue the king!
Seventh Brother, the person my uncle is most worried about right now is General Weiyuan Jiang He! He directly rejected the people I sent out. It seems he won't cooperate with us, nor will he stand idly by!
We're bound to run into them on the way north, uncle has no confidence at all." Ye Xiaotian sighed heavily.
Wei Cunqing spoke to comfort him, "Uncle! Jiang He has no reason to help Concubine Yao and Prince Ying! As a military commander, he naturally opposes the harem interfering in politics and Concubine Yao controlling the court.
He rejected us, perhaps just because we were not sincere enough! Uncle, I will go first and persuade Jiang He not to become our enemy.
Jiang He had no reason to protect Concubine Yao and Prince Ying. He refused Ye Xiaotian's cooperation simply because he didn't want to see Ye Xiaotian use the emperor to control the princes and didn't want Ye Xiaotian to control the court.
If he were to come forward to persuade Jiang He, Jiang He would definitely be shaken.
What's more, they still have a sign in their hands! He is not afraid that Jiang He will not compromise.
Hearing this, Ye Xiaotian nodded, "Old Seven is right! That brat Jiang He is afraid that my family will dominate the world! He doesn't even think about the fact that no matter how powerful I am, I am just a prince of a different surname. I have no right to usurp the throne!"
If Jiang He is truly loyal, he should cooperate with them and rebel against Wei Shuo and that treacherous concubine Yao Fengwu!
They are the ones who are ambitious and want to usurp the throne.
And he, Ye Xiaotian, is just a loyal minister who is wholeheartedly devoted to his country and his people!
The court cannot allow Concubine Yao to be in control, and cannot allow Wei Shuo to be the one pulling the strings.
"That's fine! You are His Majesty's prince, maybe he will really listen to you." Ye Xiaotian agreed with Wei Cunqing's proposal.
Jiang He was wary of him and suspected him of having ulterior motives, but he couldn't possibly suspect Wei Cunqing of also wanting to kill his father and usurp the throne, right?
Wei Cunqing was a prince who grew up outside. He forced Wei Cunqing to ascend the throne, but Wei Cunqing was unwilling.
It is absolutely impossible for Wei Cunqing to usurp the throne.
As for Wei Wenyan...
Wei Wenyan was the crown prince of the Eastern Palace. If the crown prince had not been killed, the person who would have ascended the throne would have been the crown prince.
It’s a pity that the prince was killed by Concubine Yao and others.
Since the crown prince is not around and the prince of the Eastern Palace is still around, Wei Wenyan should ascend the throne and become emperor.
"In two days, the task of receiving the envoy from the King of Zhenbei will be handed over to you. Take good care of this matter and there must not be any mistakes." Ye Xiaotian ordered.
Qi Lao specifically asked Wei Cunqing to receive the envoy in person. He had no choice but to give this important task to Wei Cunqing.
