242. Chapter 242 The family and the country are the most important
"Do you think the emperor will believe it?" Chen Liang said.
"Since the emperor doesn't believe it, why didn't Chen Quan arrest me together when he was arrested?" Wu Yishan asked in confusion.
"That's because the emperor hadn't wanted to investigate this matter yet, and it's different now." Chen Liang said.
"Where has the situation changed?" Wu Yishan said to Chen Liang.
"It is rumored that the emperor has hidden a lot of money, at least in terms of money, the emperor is not relying on us all." Chen Liang said.
When Wu Yishan heard Chen Liang say that Nangong Ao had enough money to support him, he asked in surprise, "Is it funded by the Ye family?"
Chen Liang knew in his heart that Nangong Ao’s intention was to do this. Money could control everything no matter when. Nangong Ao had hidden a lot of money. Isn’t the purpose of truly supporting the world and not being controlled by anyone?
"No wonder the emperor attacked his cousin so rudely this time." Wu Yishan said.
"Find out where the emperor's gold and silver backer is!" Chen Liang ordered Wu Yishan.
When he heard Chen Liang was about to investigate the emperor's secret vault, Wu Yishan said in fear, "Cousin, if the emperor knows, our heads will not be safe! I think it's better not to check it!"
"Don't worry, even if there is any mistake in the vault, the emperor will not cause any trouble." Chen Liang said with a treacherous smile.
The secret treasury is something that outsiders don’t know. If the matter is shaken out and the emperor has hidden so much money, then if the princes and ministers and the people of the world know, the emperor will not use money but will increase the taxes to collect the funds needed for the war, then the emperor will lose the hearts.
In Funing Palace, Song Qisheng took Ye Wange's pulse and said, "The first time General Cao takes charge of his general and goes to the battlefield is worrying!"
Ye Wange retracted his wrist, "If it were Nan Zhaoren who joined forces with the three princes, the situation would be extremely dangerous. If it were not for the three princes, the situation would be better."
"I want to see the Third Prince and help me find a way to contact the Third Prince." Ye Wange said to Song Qisheng.
Song Qisheng nodded, and Ye Wange asked some questions about the child in her belly. After Song Qisheng said that everything was fine, she let Song Qisheng leave with confidence.
"Empress, Xiangyun from the backyard is back." Xiaozi ran in and reported to Ye Wange.
When he heard that Xiangyun, a spy from Chen Ruhui's sect, was back, Ye Wange said, "Have you gone to see Chen Ruhui?"
"No, I went to meet Chen Ruhui's slave Qiuxiang." Xiaozhi said.
Ye Wange heard that the slave was Qiuxiang, who had gone to see Chen Ruhui's loyal slave. He thought that it must be a good thing, so he asked, "What did both of them say?"
When the two were talking, Xiaozi hid behind the rockery where they were talking, and listened clearly to the content of the conversation, "Qiuxiang asked Xiangyun's servant to put the poison in the tea that the empress drank next month at the flower viewing banquet."
Ye Wange heard Chen Ruhui's use of rotten poisoning methods and smiled sinisterly, "She Chen Ruhui also knows this trick, and in the end she will instruct me to poison me."
The flower viewing banquet next month is held by the Empress Dowager. He brought all the concubines in the palace together and invited the ladies of daughters to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers. Because there were not enough people in Anfu Palace, the servants from each palace were drawn to help. Ye Wange in Funing Palace asked the two slaves in the backyard to go.
Chen Ruhui wanted to use those two slaves to harm Ye Wange, and Ye Wange thought carefully about the solutions in her heart.
At the annual flower viewing banquet, according to the custom, some wealthy and beautiful ladies will be invited to attend. Such a banquet will give those ladies the opportunity to show their strengths and feet. If the Empress Dowager likes it, she will issue an imperial decree to give the marriage.
"Little ruler, go and inquire about the list of the flower-watching banquet this time and see who are participating in it." Ye Wange said.
The small ruler was as directed by Ye Wange, and Brother Ye Wan thought that at this banquet, he would definitely make Chen Ruhui look good.
In this sunny and warm spring day, the women in the palace were busy enjoying flowers and listening to music, while the emperor was busy with war. After the war in the northeast border, the situation of the Cao family army was steadily controlled. However, Cao Tianyue and Hu Tongying struggled to fight in the Liaocheng area.
"Your Majesty, there is a shortage of military supplies in Liaocheng, and the food and grass are only enough for more than ten days." Ye Changyu said to Nangong Ao.
"How long will the war last?" Nangong Ao thought that if the war could end within ten days, then there would be no hurry to transport food and grass.
"Your Majesty, Nan Zhao gathered a million troops to deal with our troops stationed. This is probably a protracted battle." Ye Changyu said.
Nangong Ao's forehead hurts, looked at the map in front of him and said, "Why don't our army go around from behind Liaoshan and attack the enemy on both sides?"
Ye Changyu replied, "The generals stationed in the border are the veteran generals over 50 years old, and General Cao and Hu Tong are now the main forces there. If the two troops split into two groups and attacked each other, they will definitely weaken the power of frontal offense and defense. It will take another four or five days to surround Liaoshan. If the Nanzhao army strives to attack during these four or five days, if our army loses, it will be an uncontrollable tragic situation."
Nangong Ao looked at the map in his hand, listened to Ye Changyu's clarity, and concluded that there was still not enough manpower. If there was another army at this time, they would bypass Liaoshan and attack Cao Tianyue together, then the Northern Tang Dynasty would definitely win in this battle.
"Send Chen Liang to escort the food and grass to the front line, and after Chen Liang arrived, he led a team of men to the rear of Liaocheng and launched a front-and-back offensive and defensive battle against the Liao army." Nangong Ao said.
Ye Changyu did not object because Ye Changyu knew that there was no one available in the court now. If Chen Liang was not sent this time, such a difficult and dangerous thing would probably fall on him.
Chen Liang escorted the grain and grass to the front line. Ye Wange felt that something was wrong. The war was initiated by the third prince. With the third prince's shrewdness, how could the grain and grass arrive smoothly? It would definitely be destroyed during the transportation.
Nangong Ao had long thought of what Ye Wange thought of. It was because of the thought that the third prince would destroy it that Nangong Ao asked Chen Liang to escort it.
Nangong Ao issued an imperial edict to Chen Liang. If Chen Liang made a mistake this time, then Chen Liang's general's head would be in danger.
Of course, Chen Liang understood his current situation, so Chen Liang did not choose to escort food and grass directly from the capital.
Instead, he collected food and supplies from several cities near Liaocheng and sent them to the border nearby.
Song Qisheng went through all the twists and turns to contact the third prince. Song Qisheng told the third prince that Ye Wange knew the mystery of Cao Yan's death.
After hearing this, the third prince sneaked into Funing Palace after it got dark.
Ye Wange knew that the third prince would come, so she did not fall asleep early, but sat on a chair and waited.
Like the Eighth Prince, Ye Wange was not surprised when he broke into the window and came to Ye Wange.
"Are you surprised to see that I am still alive?" asked the third prince.
Ye Wange smiled, "I'm not surprised. I was puzzled when I heard the news of the death of the third prince. The third prince, who was unmatched in martial arts and intelligence, died so easily, and I don't believe it."
"Why did you want to save me at that time?" asked the third prince.
Ye Wange looked at the third prince and said, "For multiple allies."
The third prince didn't understand and speculated, "Does the queen want to use me to give you the exception of Chen Ruhui?"
"It's wrong! Chen Ruhui is also the enemy of the Third Prince. Why did the Third Prince say that he was apart from that poisonous woman for me?" Ye Wange said.
Chen Ruhui killed the woman he loved the most. The third prince killed Chen Ruhui and avenged his beloved person. Ye Wange would not take this kind of kindness to himself.
"Cao Yan was harmed by Chen Ruhui, not because of illness." Ye Wange said.
After hearing this, the third prince had always been calm and self-control. His face was grim and his brows were furrowing, the veins on his neck burst, and the joints of his hands holding his fists turned white.
"Song Qisheng investigated the imperial tomb. When Hang Xiaojian was experiencing the autopsy, he must have been bribed. He concealed the true image." Ye Wange said.
"I will find Hang Xiaojian." said the third prince.
Ye Wange looked at the third prince and said, "I have something to ask the third prince."
"The queen once saved my life, I remember this kindness in my heart. Now I have the opportunity to repay this kindness to the queen, I am very willing." The third prince said happily.
"Dare you ask the Third Prince, is the war between the two places being instigated by the Third Prince?" Ye Wange asked.
The two wars were indeed his actions. Nangong Ao seized his throne, causing the woman he cherished throughout his life to die tragically, and even killed him. These hatreds have long been remembered in his heart, making him unable to think about the affection of brotherhood and endure these deep blood hatreds.
"Yes." The third prince admitted happily.
Ye Wange looked at the third prince, but could not say the words he had already remembered.
Seeing Ye Wange's unspeakable look, the third prince said, "If you have something to say, please say it, don't worry about it."
"The third prince, no matter how deep the hatred he has with the emperor and the Shen family, it is just a family feud. I want to ask the third prince not to provoke war between the country and the country. If the third prince puts the people of the Northern Tang and the Northern Tang in a deep passion in order to avenge personal hatred, and makes the Northern Tang people suffer, I think the third prince will not feel the pleasure of revenge in his heart." Ye Wange said.
"Empress, is this the dragon throne that is not guaranteed for the Emperor's resoluteness, or is it because of his own concern that he can no longer enjoy this glory and wealth?" asked the third prince.
Ye Wange heard the third prince doubt her intention and smiled, "The deep palace courtyard is just a gorgeous cage for me, and the emperor is not a satisfactory husband for me. I don't rely on the royal family to enjoy this glory and wealth."
"Why did the queen plead for the emperor? Seeing that the emperor's throne was out of order, shouldn't the queen who has always hated the emperor applaud?" said the third prince.
