"Zhao Hanguang has been in office as the Minister of Imperial Household Affairs since three years ago, and is in charge of banquets. He is a cautious person and has never made a mistake in the past three years, so he has been able to keep his position and has indeed never been replaced."
Although Lian Zhou had been following his master in the north before, he was quite familiar with the things happening in the capital.
Chen Yanchuan said: "I remember that he and Han Tong were classmates?"
Lian Zhou nodded, "Yes. The two have known each other for more than 20 years, and have fought overtly and covertly. Later, they entered the Guanglu Temple together, and they both tried their best to grab the position of Guanglu Temple Minister. Unfortunately, Han Tong was one step behind and became Zhao Hanguang's subordinate. It is rumored that the two of them don't get along well in private, and they quarreled several times in the Guanglu Temple."
Of course Han Tong wanted to take his place, but he just didn't have the opportunity.
Shen Yanchuan nodded: "Then, give him a helping hand."
Lian Zhou was surprised: "Master?"
Han Yao offended Doctor Ye, why would his master still help his father?
Shen Yanchuan seemed to smile.
"Outsiders think that these two people are in conflict with each other, but they don't know that they both follow the same master."
Lian Zhou was shocked for a moment: "What!? But Han Tong is not following the Second Prince, then... so, Zhao Hanguang is also the Second Prince's man!?"
Isn't it said that he is impartial and mediocre and never takes sides? this……
Chen Yanchuan lowered his eyelashes, spread out another piece of rice paper, and spoke in a casual tone.
"The Second Prince has an unpredictable temperament and ruthless methods. What he hates most is infighting among his subordinates. Han Tong appears to be obedient, but he may not really want this position in his heart. If Zhao Hanguang makes a mistake, he can move up one step. Since he wants it, give it to him."
Lian Zhou understood: "So, you mean... to kill them all at once?"
Chen Yanchuan said calmly: "His people have controlled the Guanglu Temple for so long, it's time for them to make room."
…
Imperial College.
After Murong Ye left, everyone quickly quieted down and opened their books in their respective seats.
Ye Yunfeng also withdrew his gaze.
“Hey? Hey!” The young man who first spoke to them waved his hands, “Hurry up and sit down! If Lord Siye sees you making trouble, you’ll be finished!”
Ye Yunfeng said casually: "You mean the one outside? He's gone."
"Who? Which one are you talking about?" The young man looked confused.
Ye Jingyan changed the subject: "Everyone seems to be particularly respectful to Lord Siye?"
"Of course!" The young man's attention was immediately diverted, and he covered his mouth and whispered, "You don't know the origin of Si Ye? He is General Feng's nephew!"
Ye Jingyan's mind moved: "Are you talking about the general Feng Cheng who had the merit of saving the emperor?"
"Yes! He was instrumental in founding the country! Both of his sons died in battle, leaving only our Si Ye Lord as his nephew. Just think about it - what kind of status is this!"
Speaking of this, Ye Yunfeng became a little interested.
"With such a background, how could he come to the Imperial College to be a small dean?"
A minor official of the sixth rank would probably not be allowed to come if his family had any background.
The young man chuckled and said mysteriously, "You just arrived in the capital, so it's normal that you don't know! In fact, Lord Siye used to lead troops to fight, but something happened three years ago! In the battle of Tongtian Pass, he originally planned to lead the army to rescue, but somehow, he was delayed on the way--"
Ye Jingyan's hand, which was turning the pages of the book, suddenly stopped.
Ye Yunfeng also narrowed his eyes slightly: "Tongtian Pass?"
"Yes! It was because of General Huo..." At this point, he coughed, "It was the time when tens of thousands of soldiers were killed. When Lord Siye arrived at that time, it was already too late. I don't know if he was shocked by the scene. Not long after, he asked to leave the army and return to the capital."
"I heard that he stayed indoors for three months, and General Feng couldn't stand it, so he sent him to the Imperial College."
The young man spread his hands.
"That's about it."
"Si Ye, you come from a military camp, so you don't have to be so particular. If you see someone you don't like or who doesn't obey, you can just slap them!" The young man remembered something and a trace of bitterness appeared on his face, "That hurts so much!"
Ye Jingyan looked him over.
"I see. Thank you for telling me. I just wonder if you..."
The young man smiled and said, "My name is Qiao Zimo!"
Ye Jingyan was a little surprised: "Your father is...Mr. Qiao, the Minister of Works?"
Qiao Zimo was surprised. "You knew? I thought you had just arrived in Beijing and didn't know about these things. Oh, right! You even guessed Murong Ye's identity just now, so it's normal for you to know me!"
The capital city is indeed full of hidden talents, especially the Imperial College. If you ask casually, it is very likely that he is a child of an extraordinary family.
Qiao Zimo secretly took out a slingshot from under the book and said to Ye Yunfeng, "You are Ye Yunfeng, right? I just saw that you seem to be very strong. Do you want to go out and shoot birds after class?"
Ye Yunfeng folded his hands behind his head, looking uninterested: "It's meaningless, I won't go."
Qiao Zimo was unwilling to give up and continued, "Go ahead! Could it be that you don't know how to do it?"
Ye Yunfeng glanced at his slingshot and sneered: "Is this crappy thing of yours enough to shoot two birds? It's hard to even shoot a rabbit!"
Qiao Zimo's eyes widened: "What did you say? I spent several hours carving this by myself!"
Ye Yunfeng snorted and took his slingshot.
"Look."
…
When Ye Chutang brought Xiaowu back to the Ye Mansion, it was already dark.
She was still holding the snacks she bought from Lanyue Tower.
Xiaowu crawled to the small table, placed the chestnut cakes on a plate, and picked up the first piece for Ye Chutang.
——Sister’s!
Ye Chutang took it and took a bite.
It melts in your mouth, sweet but not greasy.
In fact, they had already eaten at Lanyue Tower, but the snack still tasted delicious.
Why.
Ye Chutang held his chin with one hand, looking melancholy.
Xiaowu also took a bite of the chestnut cake, and seeing her like this, he moved his little butt over and sat over.
——Sister, do you miss your third and fourth brothers too?
That’s right, in my memory they have always been together and have never been apart.
It's really hard to adapt to the sudden disappearance of two people.
Ye Chutang turned around and looked at her.
Xiaowu sniffed and pointed to the remaining chestnut cake on the plate.
There should have been a third brother and a fourth brother! Do you want to leave it for them?
She missed them too...
Why.
Ye Chutang sighed again.
"With your fourth brother not around, there will be no one to cook for you from now on."
Xiaowu, who was about to put away the chestnut cakes to send to his third and fourth brothers at the Imperial College tomorrow, said: "…"
She silently finished the remaining half of the chestnut cake in her hand.
Ye Chutang: "I wonder if they are adapting to the Imperial College on their first day there?"
…
As the night deepened, everything was quiet.
Suddenly, a rapid and sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard!
Whoosh—crash!
A large flock of birds suddenly took off!
A voice mixed with shock and anger resounded through the night.
“Who did this!?”
