Ye Chunqiu was still a little surprised by Yang Tinghe's words. He didn't expect that Henan would take action so quickly. Ye Chunqiu looked at Yang Tinghe deeply and felt that Yang Tinghe was not simple. He bowed and said, "In this way, this matter of eliminating traitors will have to be a burden to Mr. Yang."

Yang Tinghe smiled and shook his head again, "It's nothing, I'm just serving Your Majesty. Is Chunqiu here to be on duty?"

Ye Chunqiu said ashamedly: "I'm going to thank you."

When he heard the thanks, Yang Tinghe stroked his beard and said, "It's rare, it's rare. Ye Shixue is so loving to His Majesty. Go, I just happened to sort out the papers of the scholars in Henan."

Ye Chunqiu knew that if you want to defeat someone, at least in the Ming Dynasty, using the fraud of the imperial examination as a weapon was a magical tool, and it could almost make people unable to turn over for a lifetime. The Ming Dynasty's several insurmountable red lines, besides rebellion, are fraud cases of the imperial examination.

Ye Chunqiu didn't say anything more. Although he didn't like this kind of unscrupulous method to defeat an unscrupulous person, it had nothing to do with him after all.

Ye Chunqiu walked out of the East Pavilion and immediately went to the Warm Pavilion. Zhu Houzhao seemed to have expected Ye Chunqiu to come and had been waiting for him here.

As soon as he saw Ye Chunqiu, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said to others: "Three, have I eaten my tiger whip?"

Ye Chunqiu felt a little stiff on his face, so he shook his head gently.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Ye Chunqiu's unnatural face and stopped making fun: "I have been thinking about it and think it's quite interesting, haha... Don't be stern, I'm just joking. After I returned to the palace last night, your grandfather didn't blame me."

Ye Chunqiu's face calmed down a little, and he said, "Who dares to blame Your Majesty? But the eldest father in the family ordered his ministers to curse the emperor and swear to the heavens that he would serve the emperor's kindness well, and he specially reiterated his family motto..."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, her eyes suddenly shone, and her curiosity was causing trouble. She hurriedly said, "Hey, what is your family motto?"

Ye Chunqiu had no choice but to answer: "After loyalty and goodness, naturally..."

"Oh, it turns out that you are loyal and kind. No wonder you are loyal and kind, it turns out that you have a connection." Zhu Houzhao showed a little understanding smile, and then asked again: "Who is Lingzu?"

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but feel ashamed. He was just a small country landlord. This was all used by Mr. Ye, who bragged. Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao took it seriously, but he had to say: "Ye Huishi, the Duke of Wending in the Song Dynasty, was the ancestor of the family."

Ye Chunqiu didn’t know whether the Ye family was the descendant of Ye Shi, Wending Gong, but Old Lady Ye really insisted. Now when His Majesty asked, he had to answer this way.

"It's Ye Shi who strongly advocates resisting the Jin Dynasty?" Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao knew it.

This was also an official who once advocated the resistance to the Jin Dynasty after the Song Dynasty. He was the second place in his early years. He served for three dynasties, served as an official of the Pingjiang Prefecture Observation Office, a Ph.D. in the Imperial Academy, Zuoxuanlang, Imperial Ziye, the magistrate of Quanzhou, and the Minister of War. He advocated the resistance to the Jin Dynasty and opposed peace talks. After the failure of the Northern Expedition, Ye Shi's career was setback.

Zhu Houzhao was obviously interested in such a tough person who was tough on the outside, so she smiled and said, "No wonder it was the loyal and kind descendant. As expected, the emperor of the Song Dynasty refused to listen to your Emperor Gaozu's advice, but I am different. If I listen to you, you will hit whoever you say."

"..." Ye Chunqiu immediately smiled bitterly.

Zhu Houzhao said again: "I didn't expect that your eldest father had this intention and advised you to be loyal. It's rare that he had such intentions. It seems that I have given you a little less reward..."

Zhu Houzhao wandered, and at this moment, the little orange from Renshou Palace came and said, "Your Majesty, Ye Shixue is here too. It just so happened that the Empress Dowager invited the prince and Wannian County Magistrate Ye Jing to the palace to discuss matters, and ordered me to come and invite Your Majesty and Ye Shixue."

Ye Chunqiu said in surprise: "Have my father returned to Beijing?"

Xiao Chengzi smiled and said, "I returned to Beijing early this morning. I went to the Ministry of Personnel to pay the bill first, and then the Empress Dowager invited me to the palace and was discussing the matter."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with the queen?"

Xiao Chengzi couldn't answer for a moment, so Zhu Houzhao stood up and said to Ye Chunqiu: "Let's go and have a look."

Ye Chunqiu was full of doubts. Logically speaking, there was nothing to say about his father entering the palace, but the problem was that he was circulated as soon as he arrived. It was obvious that the Renshou Palace had already greeted the Ministry of Personnel in advance.

But didn’t it mean that the Empress Dowager broke the contract? He refused to accept Jingchu as his adopted daughter? In this way, Empress Dowager Zhang is not considered Jingchu’s family, so there is no need to ask his father and mentor to discuss the marriage.

Or is this breach of contract fake?

Ye Chunqiu was puzzled and followed Zhu Houzhao to Renshou Palace. Sure enough, in this main hall, he saw Wang Hua sitting sideways down, and Ye Jing, who was exhausted, seemed to be saying something respectfully to Queen Mother Zhang.

Zhu Houzhao and Ye Chunqiu went in. Zhu Houzhao first asked Empress Dowager Zhang for peace, while Ye Chunqiu bowed and said, "See the Empress."

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Ye Chunqiu with a kind smile on her face and said, "I've lost weight again. It turns out that a man who has not married doesn't know how to take care of himself. At this age of the emperor, there are already a few concubines. Haha... his face is still red now."

Ye Chunqiu said in his heart, is there any? Where can I blush?

Ye Chunqiu had to follow the words of Empress Dowager Zhang: "I wonder what the Empress Dowager has to give?"

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled and said, "You are busy working for the emperor all day long. Of course, you won't invite you to come if you have nothing to do. Of course, you have to discuss something."

She had a great affection for Ye Chunqiu. From the beginning, she felt that she was owed Ye Chunqiu's favor. If it weren't for Ye Chunqiu, where would she have come from? This was another matter; and in addition, she saved Empress Xia and the Crown Prince. With these three things alone, all the worries of Empress Zhang Tian was solved.

Look at Ye Chunqiu, although he is younger than Zhu Houzhao, he is much more steady than Zhu Houzhao. He is neither humble nor arrogant, and has a heavy face. He just deliberately tried it and said that he blushed, but he did not show any surprise. Looking at Zhu Houzhao, he had moved to Empress Dowager Zhang, and he only knew how to wink.

Empress Dowager Zhang said, "There is one thing that the Ai family has discussed with Wang Aiqing and your father. Now the Ai family asks you what you want, and you can answer it accordingly."

Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhang was talking seriously, Ye Chunqiu cheered up and said, "Listen to me."

Empress Dowager Zhang took a sip of tea before she smiled and said, "Aiqing Ye, did Your Majesty encourage you to go to Datong?"

Is it another matter of Datong?
