After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

Chapter 178 Ye Mansion Confiscation 1

That night, the King of Qi hurried into the palace.

Emperor Yong looked at the so-called evidence of Ye Zhennan's treason presented in front of him, and he looked deeply at his second son.

"Chu'er."

Emperor Yong looked at Ying Chu with a deep gaze. "The Ye family has been loyal to Dayong their entire lives, and Ye Zhennan is even more loyal to me. If it weren't for the Ye family defending our country, Dayong would have been razed to the ground by the enemy's cavalry long ago! I don't believe he would betray me and Dayong!"

"Father!"

Ying Chu showed a look of regret: "Your son also believed in General Ye, but the evidence is irrefutable. As early as twenty years ago when Ye Zhennan went to the Dongyi to fight the enemy, he had already been secretly communicating with the Western Zhou Dynasty. And Ye Xiruo was so audacious that she got pregnant with the Western Zhou prince - the current monarch, Chu Tianhe's bastard!

Now, they have even secretly brought Chu Tianhe into Kyoto, intending to meet with him secretly. If I hadn’t discovered it in time, they would be…”

Emperor Yong interrupted him: "Where is Chu Tianhe now?"

"I have been trapped in the palace by my son!"

Ying Chu immediately said, "As long as the emperor gives the order, I will immediately lead people to arrest Ye Zhennan!"

"Arrest Ye Zhennan?"

"That's right!"

Ying Chu's voice was resounding and powerful: "Ye Zhennan is colluding with the Western Zhou Dynasty. He must not be allowed to serve as the Protector of the Nation General again. He must not continue to control the 300,000 Ye Family Army. I request that Ye Zhennan be arrested immediately. If he resists, he should be killed on the spot!"

Emperor Yong was not moved by Ying Chu's anger, but looked at him deeply. When Ying Chu opened his mouth, he asked, "You want to kill Ye Zhennan immediately, but what about Chu Tianhe? Are you planning to kill him too?"

"This……"

Yingchu hasn't thought about this issue yet.

In his opinion, when his father heard that Ye Zhennan was colluding with the Western Zhou Dynasty, even if he didn't believe it, he should be angry and upset. Emperors have always been suspicious since ancient times. How could he possibly trust his ministers completely?

But why is Father so calm now?

Although Ying Chu was puzzled, he still replied respectfully, "Father, Ye Zhennan and Chu Tianhe are colluding, so they both deserve to be killed. However, Chu Tianhe is the king of Western Zhou after all. If we kill him rashly, I'm afraid it will cause war between the two countries..."

"You knew it would cause war between the two countries?"

Emperor Yong sneered and decided to give his son one last chance. He threw the evidence at Prince Ying's feet and said coldly, "I don't believe that General Ye will rebel. I don't believe this evidence. Tonight, just pretend you have never been to the palace!"

"Father——"

"Wang Shun!"

Eunuch Wang immediately pushed the door open and walked to Prince Ying's side: "Your Highness, please go back..."

Ying Chu didn't expect that even after he had put the evidence in front of his father, his father still believed Ye Zhennan! What kind of magic potion did that old man give his father to make him so confused?

This is treason, an attempt to take over his kingdom!

Any emperor would not tolerate this, so how could my father insist on doing so?

Now Chu Tianhe is in his palace, and he has already made arrangements for Ye Zhennan. The time, place and people are all right. How could Ying Chu give up?

When he sent people to Western Zhou, he expected that Chu Tianhe would definitely send people to Dayong to confirm the news he passed on, but Ying Chu did not expect Chu Tianhe to come in person, and he came secretly.

This is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

My father is getting old and confused, that's why he indulges Ye Zhennan like this, but it doesn't matter, my father doesn't have the final say in Dayong!

The next day.

On the first day of the new year, the emperor came to court and all officials paid homage.

On this day, all the princes, kings, and even civil and military officials would appear in the Golden Palace in neatly dressed clothes.

Emperor Yong comforted all the officials as usual and listened to some civil and military officials' plans and arrangements for the New Year. There was nothing new. When he was about to leave the court, the King of Qi suddenly stood up.

"Father, I have something to report to you!"

The King of Qi stood before his ministers with a stern expression.

Emperor Yong, who was about to leave, stopped. He looked at Ying Chu with disappointment in his eyes, and finally sat back on the dragon throne.

"explain."

The emperor's flat voice came from the dragon throne.

The King of Qi stepped forward and said, "Your son is going to report General Ye Zhennan for secretly communicating with the Western Zhou Dynasty and attempting to overthrow our Great Yong Dynasty!"

"what?"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Everyone was confused for a moment, thinking they had heard wrongly.

Wang Mi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, scratched his ears and pointed his ear at Ying Chu: "Your Highness, Prince of Qi, what did you just say? Could you please repeat it again? We didn't hear it clearly."

Other court officials also nodded.

They also felt that they were hallucinating and hoped that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi could say it again.

King Qi faced the crowd and raised his right hand: "I say that Ye Zhennan is secretly colluding with foreign enemies. The evidence is irrefutable. The evidence is in my hands!"

As he spoke, the King of Qi glanced at the court officials.

An official from the Wang family immediately came up to examine the evidence. When he saw the contents, he was furious: "How ridiculous! We trusted General Ye so much, but we didn't expect him to be such a person!"

"Yes, secretly communicating with Xi Zhou will result in the punishment of all nine generations of your clan!"

"They actually became relatives with the King of Western Zhou, and Yan Qing happened to be engaged to the Fourth Prince. Their hearts are horrible! Their hearts are horrible!"

As the Wang official spoke, he distributed the evidence in the King of Qi's hands to other officials.

Officials such as Wang Mi took the evidence and examined it, which recorded in detail how Ye Zhennan and his eldest daughter Ye Xiruo went to Dongyi to fight against the enemy twenty years ago.

During the process of annihilating the enemy, Ye Xiruo, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, actually left the battlefield and went to a small country near Dongyi to contact Chu Tianhe, who was then the crown prince of Western Zhou. She even secretly had an affair with him and became pregnant.

After Ye Xiruo became pregnant, she returned to Beijing and married the newly crowned top scholar Yan Junyuan.

Later she gave birth to a daughter, Yan Qing.

……

At the end of those memorials, there was a mark that made everyone stare in shock.

"Chu Tianhe!"

"This, this is the seal of the Western Zhou Dynasty!"

“This evidence is real!!!”

It turned out to be the jade seal of the Chu Kingdom in the Western Zhou Dynasty!

The old ministers in the court still did not believe that Ye Zhennan had secret dealings with the enemy country, but the seal of the enemy country was a hot slap in the face of the court officials.

Everyone looked at Ye Zhennan.

"Old General, can you say something?"

"Yeah, is this true?"

Some people couldn't help but get angry, but were met with sneer from Wang's officials: "The King of Western Zhou has already stamped his seal on it, how could it be false? It's true that even if you are on guard against thieves within your own family, you can never be sure!"

"That's right, the more seemingly loyal someone is, the more dangerous they are..."

The court officials immediately started arguing.

Emperor Yong looked at the calm Ye Zhennan, secretly cursing him as an old fox, and said with a stern face, "Old General, do you have anything to say?"

"Minister, I have nothing to say."

Ye Zhennan took two or three steps forward, knelt on the ground, and said in a resounding voice: "When I was young, I followed Emperor Wenzong in his campaigns. The first spear in my hand was given to me by Emperor Wenzong. When I was young, I also served the late emperor in guarding the four great dynasties of Dayong. I fought against the Xiongnu, repelled the Hu people, defended the Western Zhou Dynasty, and resisted the barbarians..."

"Tear--"

Ye Zhennan suddenly tore open his court robes.
