Emperor Yanwu looked at the secret letter in his hand with a very solemn expression.

"The envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty visits the Ye family in the middle of the night?"

"The Ye family betrayed Dayan?"

Emperor Yanwu felt very complicated about this news, and he sensed something was wrong.

Based on my understanding of Ye Hongtu, the probability of the Ye family joining Da Zhou and betraying Da Yan is very small.

As for why they were wary of Ye Hongtu, it was mainly because the Ye family's control over the troops in the northern border was too terrifying.

The soldiers of Dayan were actually called "Ye's Army", which clearly showed that they did not take the emperor seriously.

If one day those people also put a yellow robe on Ye Hongtu, would Ye Hongtu resist or not?

Emperor Yanwu was already very suspicious, so he didn't dare to bet on such a result.

Moreover, he did not want to have such a "sword" hanging over his head all the time, so he targeted the Ye family and wanted to completely destroy this family.

Not far away, Prince Yan Gu stood with his hands hanging down.

Seeing that Emperor Yanwu was lost in thought, he interrupted him.

After a while, Emperor Yanwu put down the letter in his hand and asked Prince Chong:

"Gu'er, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

Emperor Yanwu also asked whether the Ye family had the possibility of allying with the Great Zhou and betraying the Great Yan.

Ask what to do instead.

It is obvious that Emperor Yanwu has tacitly acknowledged that the Ye family has betrayed Dayan.

I want to know from Prince 괗 what we should do in this situation to be more beneficial to ourselves.

The prince pondered for a moment before respectfully responding:

"Father, I think this is an opportunity."

"One of the important reasons why we can't go all out to deal with the Ye family is that the Ye family is supported by countless people in Dayan and has a very good reputation."

"This incident can obviously undermine the prestige of the Ye family in the hearts of the people of Dayan."

Hearing the words of Prince 괗, Emperor Yanwu nodded slightly:

"You better tell me how we can seize this opportunity!"

Hearing this, Prince 괗 hurriedly continued:

"Father, I think you can issue an imperial decree to the Ye family."

"I denounce you for receiving the emperor's grace, but disappointing you and the people of Dayan."

"How can such a Ye family be called the guardian of the northern border of Da Yan? How can Ye Hongtu be called the "Great General Protecting the Nation"?"

"I think this is enough."

"After all, whether the Ye family betrayed Da Yan or not, just the fact that they met with the envoy of Da Zhou at night is not convincing enough."

"All you have to do is issue an imperial decree and wait for things to develop."

"My intuition tells me that there must be someone behind this. If that's the case, you will definitely not give up this opportunity and will definitely take further action."

Emperor Yanwu agreed with Prince 괗's words.

It is impossible to wield the butcher knife against the Ye family just because of this incident, but it is necessary to further reduce the prestige of the Ye family in the hearts of the people.

"Haha, Gu'er, your suggestion is very good."

"The Ye family's character, if they are really slandered, they will definitely try their best to prove themselves."

"If that's the case, some flaws will inevitably be revealed."

"When the time comes... hehe..."

Emperor Yanwu sneered, and then said to the eunuch not far away:

"Pass on my order......"

At the same time, at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Is everything settled?"

Gu Changhe asked the figure kneeling in front of him.

"Sir, everything has been done."

"The people of the entire Yanjing City know that the Ye family betrayed Da Yan."

Upon hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on Gu Changhe's face:

"That's great, let's go!"

After the man disappeared, Gu Changhe murmured to himself, "Ye family, how are you going to break this situation?"

........

It is particularly lively outside the Ye Mansion today.

Countless people crowded the street in front of Ye Mansion.

Some hot-tempered people who did not know the truth, under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, actually threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs towards the gate of Ye's mansion.

For a moment, the scene outside the gate of the Ye Mansion was in a mess, too horrible to be seen.

"Ye family, get out! Have you betrayed Dayan?"

"What on earth do you want to do by meeting with the Great Zhou envoy at night?"

"It's a shame that you all admire the Ye family so much, but you actually want to be traitors in private. That's too much."

"Get out of here quickly, you must give us ordinary people an explanation..."

With such a big commotion, it is impossible for the Ye family to know nothing.

"Master, it's bad, our Ye Mansion has been surrounded by the people!"

"Master, something terrible has happened!"

The housekeeper ran to Ye Hongtu's residence in a panic, and his shoes almost fell off.

With a creaky sound, the door was opened, and Ye Hongtu stretched out lazily facing the morning sun, looking very comfortable.

In the room, Mrs. Xiao was holding Ye Chuyao and feeding her breakfast carefully.

[Hmm? Did you mishear that? ]

[Your Ye Mansion was surrounded by the people? 】

[Could it be that the news of Daddy's night meeting with the Great Zhou envoy was spread out, which caused the anger of countless people? ]

[Ah, Daddy is too stubborn. He doesn't listen to the baby and now he is suffering! ]

Ye Chuyao felt a sense of sadness in her heart.

Suddenly, breakfast didn't smell so good anymore.

"What's the disturbance?"

Ye Hongtu glanced at the butler, his expression remaining calm.

Seeing this, the butler swallowed his saliva and calmed down a little:

"Master, many people have surrounded the gate of our Ye Mansion."

"They all say that our Ye Mansion has betrayed Da Zhou and Da Yan."

"I told you to go out and give us an explanation!"

Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Xiao put down the spoon in her hand and frowned:

"Master, how are you going to deal with this?"

"I advised you last night not to bring that person into the Ye Mansion, but you didn't listen..."

A look of resentment appeared on Mrs. Xiao's face.

Last night she had asked Ye Hongtu how he would deal with it if something like this really happened.

But Ye Hongtu just said mysteriously that everything would become clear tomorrow.

Now that the Ye Mansion is surrounded and Ye Hongtu is doing nothing, how can she not be worried?

After hearing what the housekeeper said, Ye Hongtu's face remained calm:

"Have you completed what I asked you to do last night?"

Hearing this, the housekeeper was startled and quickly replied, "It's done!"

"That's fine, let's go meet these people together!"

"The fun has just begun."

At this time, another guard from the Ye family came to report:

"Master, the imperial edict has arrived!"

Ye Hongtu raised his eyebrows: "Imperial edict?"

"Haha, our emperor is very quick."

"Isn't this a little too impatient?"

"Let's go, ma'am, and follow me to receive the order."

[Humph, the dog emperor must have gotten the news, and is now trying to take advantage of someone's misfortune! ]

[Dad is such a fool. He has to make things to this extent.]

[놖Let's see what Daddy is going to do! 】

Mrs. Xiao was also very curious. Now that things had developed to this point, she wondered how her husband would resolve the situation.
