Chapter 421: Attack from both sides
The emperor remembered him again and entrusted him with an important task. Ye Mo knew very well that the emperor had murderous intentions for him again.
Therefore, he was not surprised at all when the emperor assigned him to deal with those officials who asked for the crown prince every day.
The officials who dared to go to Zhezi to ask for the crown prince were mostly old men with high moral character. If he dared to touch these people, it is conceivable that he would be torn to pieces by the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
Ye Mo raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. The emperor was still as ruthless as ever. He was forced to go to a dead end!
But why?
He is now a "waste" and is no longer a threat to the emperor.
Ye Mo returned to the Changle Marquis Mansion with a gloomy expression. After entering the study, he took out the note that Chu Yao had given him.
After reading the note, Ye Mo's eyes narrowed and he was silent for a while. He walked to the lamp, lit the note, and then quietly watched the note burn away bit by bit.
The note said that the Li family told the fourth prince that he and Shi Zhenghe's family were old acquaintances, and the fourth prince revealed this to the emperor.
Ye Mo frowned and thought about this. He felt that the emperor's sudden "re-use" of him was not just because he knew Shi Zhenghe and his family.
Even if Shi Zhenghe’s family’s kung fu was really taught by him, he felt that the emperor would not care too much.
Five ninth-grade warriors may be a considerable force to others, but to the emperor who controls the Liangyi Palace and the Royal Guards, he will not take them too seriously.
Ye Mo thought about the undercurrent of the ongoing dispute between the princes.
Shi Fuxin is the master of the eldest prince, and Shi Zheng and his family naturally side with the eldest prince. If the emperor hates Shi Zheng and his family because of this, he thinks it is impossible.
For the emperor who wants to balance the relationship between the princes and stabilize the situation of the court, the emperor must be happy to see the eldest prince standing up to restrain the four princes.
Compared with the four princes who have been favored since childhood, the eldest prince's influence in the court is still too weak. The Shi family and Shennongtang behind Shi Fuxin can just help some of the eldest princes.
Therefore, the emperor would not think of ‘dealing’ with Shi Fuxin and the Shennongtang behind her.
There must be some other reason here!
Ye Mo rubbed his eyebrows, and at this moment, Ye Lanzhi came in.
"elder brother."
“Lan Zhi, why are you here?”
“I asked the kitchen to stew the bird’s nest and brought you a bowl.”
Ye Lanzhi placed the bird's nest in front of Ye Mo and watched Ye Mo pick it up and eat it.
Seeing that Ye Mo was eating without even frowning, Ye Lanzhi asked worriedly: "Brother, is the emperor making things difficult for you again?"
Ye Mo put down the bowl and wanted to divert the matter, but when he thought about it, if something happened to him, he couldn't let his sister be unprepared: "You know my reputation in the court, there are very few cruel officials. Able to die well"
Before she finished speaking, Ye Lanzhi's face turned pale: "Brother, you are just a 'waste' now, so the emperor won't let you go?" With that, she started walking in the room eagerly.
"elder brother!"
Ye Lanzhi thought of something and suddenly rushed to Ye Mo: "Brother, don't you have a disciple of a top master? Send her a message and ask her to take you out of the capital."
Hearing his sister's words, Ye Mo's expression suddenly changed, and his mind that was a little confused before suddenly became clear.
How could he forget this?
Yes, if there is any value that can be used in him now, the only one who can use it is Bai Yueguang, the disciple of the supreme master!
The emperor is afraid of Jianghu warriors, especially the masters with superb martial arts. Just looking at the four major headquarters yamen in the southeast and northwest in recent years have become more and more aggressive towards Jianghu sects, we can see how determined the Emperor is in banning martial arts.
The supreme master is definitely the emperor’s number one target!
Could it be that he wanted to intimidate other top masters by attacking Bai Yueguang? Ye Mo took a pen and wrote down his guessed thoughts on a piece of paper, preparing to give it to Chu Yao when he went to the Supervision Department tomorrow.
Ye Lanzhi stood aside and watched silently, without disturbing Ye Mo. Her eyes flashed with deep worry, and then a look of struggle flashed across her face. Slowly, her eyes gradually became firmer.
“Brother, I won’t disturb you anymore, I’m going back to my room.”
Chu Yao got Ye Mo's note. After reading it, his face became more solemn.
‘The emperor’s goal is Bai Yueguang! ’
He guessed that the fourth prince's revelation that Ye Mo and Shi Zhenghe's family had an old relationship was for Shi Liu, but he didn't expect that Bai Yueguang would be involved.
Chu Yao was also very aware of the emperor's taboo, and the fact that Shi Liu was Bai Yueguang must not be exposed.
When he returned to Prince Rong's Mansion that night, Chu Yao gave the note written by Ye Mo to Shi Fuxin.
After looking at it, Shi Fuxin pressed her palm hard, and the note turned into scraps of paper. She said coldly: "The prince and the Wei family just fell down not long ago. I originally thought that nothing could happen to the other princes at this time, but now I see..."
Speaking of this, Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Yao suddenly: "Do you know the relationship between our family and Ye Mo?" Otherwise, how could she help Ye Mo pass the note?
Chu Yao shook his head: "I'm not particularly sure, but I can guess a bit."
Shi Fuxin was silent for a moment, and then said: "Ye Mo is the leader of our four brothers and sisters in learning martial arts."
Although he had already guessed, Chu Yao was still very happy after hearing it from Shi Fuxin. This at least proved that there was a little more trust between them.
Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Yao: "I won't watch the emperor touch Ye Mo." After a pause, her eyes showed a cold light, "Since the fourth prince has taken the lead in attacking, if I don't fight back, I will attack him Disrespectful.”
Chu Yao said quickly: "Don't mess around. This time is different from us overthrowing the prince and the Wei family. This time the emperor personally participated. If you don't do it right, you will die without a burial place."
Shi Fuxin also understood this: "Don't worry, I won't mess around."
Being able to bring down the prince so smoothly was actually due to a large part of luck. If the queen mother hadn't messed up the harem, the prince would have been a tough nut to crack.
Although the fourth prince is not as strong as the prince, he also does not have the ability to deal a fatal blow like "the queen mother filthy and messing up the harem".
Concubine Liu is not as courageous as the Queen Mother. Even though she has done a lot of dirty things in charge of palace affairs, these are not enough to bring down the fourth prince.
Chu Yao: "I have already sent people to keep an eye on the Liu family. Although the Liu family has been very arrogant in recent years, they have only committed petty troubles."
Said, looking at Shi Fuxin, "It was a fluke that the prince fell. I'm afraid it will take a lot of energy and time to deal with the fourth prince."
Shi Fuxin said "hmm": "I'm mentally prepared."
At that time, Fuxin was thinking about how to deal with the fourth prince. On the other hand, the emperor saw that Ye Mo was not making any move, so he gradually increased the number of errands assigned to him.
During this period, due to the resignation of the former crown prince, the situation in the court in which the four princes and their family were dominated was gradually restored to its previous stability as the eldest prince gradually gained more wings in the court.
The eldest prince, the fourth prince, and the other princes all unite with each other, forming a triangular situation where the princes check and balance each other again.
Because the eldest prince kept the fourth prince in check, it was convenient for Shi Fuxin to secretly find the reason for the fourth prince. Perhaps because of the prince's lesson, the fourth prince and the Liu family cherished feathers more and more. After a few months, Shi Fuxin was not caught. What's wrong with them?
Time has entered the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.
Shi Fuxin was walking on the street, looking at the streets that were getting more and more New Year-like, but there was no trace of joy about the upcoming New Year on her face.
The emperor actually sent Ye Mo to conquer the four top masters in Dachu Ming Dynasty!
Although she transferred ten ninth-level warriors from Master Xiang to secretly protect Ye Mo, in the past few months, Ye Mo was still on the verge of life and death several times.
Obviously the emperor wants to use Ye Mo's life and death to force Bai Yueguang to show up!
What alarmed Shi Fuxin the most was that she discovered that she was being watched, and the person watching her was one of the top masters who guarded the emperor's safety.
The emperor actually sent the supreme master to monitor her. Is he already suspecting that she is Bai Yueguang?
In the past, the four princes were causing trouble from time to time, and in the later, the emperor was secretly spying on her. Even though Shi Fuxin felt that she was mentally strong, it was quite a headache.
