one hundred and forty-two, New Year's Eve

Before I knew it, it was already New Year's Eve and the palace was busy.

On this day, there are many things to do, such as worshiping ancestors, New Year's Eve, and staying up with the New Year. Yue'er and Qiu'er happily took the window flowers they had already tried their best to cut out and pasted them everywhere. The whole yard was filled with their busy figures.

However, the two little girls were not tall enough, so in the end, they still needed Li Ye's help to stick it on the window. The Spring Festival has been the most exciting festival for the Chinese descendants of the year since ancient times.

......

After Wei Chaoren was taken back to the mansion by the Wei siblings, he also temporarily lived in the royal palace.

In the afternoon, Wei Chaoren put on clean clothes and packed up properly, and went to the yard to find Li Ye to express his gratitude alone. He knelt down before he even entered the yard.

He repeatedly promised that if he had the fate in the future, he would go through fire and water without hesitation. I believe Wei Yubai had already told him all.

Li Ye was not pretentious and took what he deserved, and then helped him up. After all, it was a life-saving grace. If he didn't let him kneel down at this time, he would feel that he would owe too much, and he might really need Wei Chaoren's help in the future.

After repeated thanks, Li Ye welcomed him into the small pavilion in the hospital. Yue'er and Qiu'er brought him tea. It was the time to bear it. Wei Chaoren was still his elders.

This veteran on the battlefield is not a strong man with muscles. He is thinner and shorter than Li Ye imagined, and he looks not fierce. Instead, he has an ordinary face and a smaller chin. Anyway, if he only shows his face in the crowd, he is ordinary.

......

Wei Chaoren took a sip of tea. Yesterday his daughter told him that this was the unique taste that the prince liked. He couldn't taste good or bad. For him, drinking things was to quench his thirst, but the prince's impression was suddenly much taller. There were not many young people who could endure hardships, let alone a noble family like the prince.

"I have been in the Censorate Prison and I don't know anything about it outside. I never thought it was so dangerous. If the prince hadn't designed to save me, I would have been killed by the traitor this time." Wei Chaoren sighed with lingering fear.

"Uncle Wei doesn't have to think so much. Peace is a blessing. At least it has passed. And after this incident, you can at least understand the hearts of the people in the capital and be prepared for it in the future." Li Ye said casually. The person behind this incident did a good job and was not leaked. Not only did he not reveal his strength, but he could also get out of nothing afterwards to make Zhu Yue take the blame. This shows that he is good at doing things.

If Li Ye had not traveled over here, Wei Chaoren would probably have no chance to speak from beginning to end. He had already died unjustly when he realized it. Zhu Yue naturally served as the governor of Guanbei, and everyone was kept in the dark. It was really easy to plot.

Wei Chaoren also nodded: "The prince is right. The people in the capital are unpredictable, and they are even more terrifying than the swords on the battlefield in Guanbei. I never thought of Zhu Yue... I have never had any interaction with him, and even if I have never talked and met, he actually harmed me like this!"

As he said that, he took another sip of tea, and then sighed: "There is Yu Cheng'an, the political affairs officer of the dynasty. Yu Bai told me that he tried his best to speak in the court to kill me. Yu Bai thought it might be for his nephew, but he knew that his nephew was an incompetent fool in Guanbei. Even if something happened to me, he would not be beneficial. I have never met Yu Cheng'an and there was no chance to deal with him thousands of miles apart. I don't know why he harmed me..."

Li Ye nodded, he also suspected this issue. It was not logical that Wei Yubai told him that Yu Chengan was to make profits for Guan Bei's nephew, because she did not understand the conventions of the court.

The emperor was worried about the position of an important position of a Jiedushi. After all, he held military power. How could he delegate power if the emperor was not familiar with it? Such a position could only be sent by a high-ranking and powerful person around the emperor. No matter how he calculated that he would not be his nephew's turn.

In this way, Yu Cheng'an's motive is very puzzling. Since it is not good, why should he offend a military governor like this even as the deputy prime minister?

Although the Jiedushi is one rank lower than the deputy prime minister, he is also of a high position and powerful position. Or is Yu Chengan really a noble person who cares about personal gains and losses? Li Ye doesn't know.

"Then what are Uncle Wei's plans in the future?" Li Ye asked.

Wei Chaoren held up the teacup and said slowly, "This defeat was caused by Wei's incompetence. When Your Resignation reprimand, I would probably cut off my position as a governor and let me go back to Guanbei. No position is relevant, I am afraid of staying in Jingzhong..." He did not continue, but Li Ye understood his concerns. He had been stationed in Guanbei for decades, and his family was in Guanbei, and his roots were also in Guanbei. If he stayed in Jingzhong, it would be a big trouble.

Li Ye smiled relievedly and said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about this. If there is no accident in Guanbei Jiedu, it will be you."

Wei Chaoren smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The prince was joking. Wei still felt guilty in his heart for such a mistake, let alone Your Majesty."

Li Ye had no choice but to say that he was speculating that Wei Chaoren would be the governor of Guanbei after the New Year. After all, the emperor wanted to fight to recover the lost territory in the north, and there were only two ways to send troops. One was that the imperial guards set out from the capital, went to Guanbei, and sent troops to the western capital of Liao.

Moreover, at present, the emperor can only go this route. Guanbei will be the top priority. Wei Chaoren has been guarding Guanbei for decades. At this time, temporary replacements are a taboo, unless the emperor is a fool.

There is another way...but it is impossible at the moment.

......

Later, the two talked about some things in Guanbei and Beijing.

Gradually, Wei Chaoren also discovered that the prince had calmness and insights that were not in line with his age, which made him admire him very much.

At first, when I heard my daughter excitedly talk about the prince's various magical tricks, he was still skeptical because the prince was too young. He was only sixteen years old this year. How could he know the key to this and come up with these sophisticated and fatal ideas? It should be that there are experts in the royal palace who are giving guidance.

But after talking to the prince today, Wei Chaoren was completely shocked. He understood that what his daughter said was not a lie. The prince was too calm and sophisticated, and felt like he was a young man.

He speaks without the aggressive spirit of young people or the humility of self-impression that he wants to cover up. Instead, he is steady and calm and extraordinary, just like a person who has experienced vicissitudes of life.

After talking for a while, I left the yard with admiration for Chaoren. I couldn't help but think that the reason why this time was so thrilling was simply because he had no popularity in Beijing and did not understand the complex situation in Beijing. If someone took care of it...

I also thought of the young hero of the prince. My daughter talked about the prince's eloquent spirit last night. If she could get the prince's help, it would be a great benefit to the Wei family. It seems that she had to think of a way.

Wei Chaoren made up his mind and quickly left the courtyard...

......

In the afternoon, after worshiping the stove, stable, gate and main hall of the house, Li Ye began to worship his ancestors under the guidance of Yan Bian. Now he is underage, but he is already the pillar of the royal palace and the head of the family.
