This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 497 Rebellion
Prime Minister's House.

Not long after Ye Zhen's carriage arrived at the door, Jiang Zhengyang, who had already changed into casual clothes, came out to greet her.

It was only after he came out to take a look that Wen Ruyan got out of the carriage with Ye Zhen, an inexplicable expression appeared on his face, but he was also very human, and he returned to normal in an instant.

"I pay my respects to the princess." Jiang Zhengyang saluted Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen waved her hand: "You don't need to be too polite, Prime Minister."

But Wen Ruyan cupped his hands at Jiang Zhengyang and said, "I've seen the prime minister."

Jiang Zhengyang nodded, then stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation, and said, "Please"

in the hall.

Jiang Zhengyang and Ye Zhen sat at the main seat, while Wen Ruyan sat at the bottom. After the servants brought cakes and hot tea, Jiang Zhengyang waved his hands and screened all the servants away.

There were only three of them left in the hall.

Seeing that he was so cautious, Ye Zhen frowned and asked, "Why is the prime minister looking for this palace today?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Zhengyang stood up suddenly, and under the surprised eyes of her and Wen Ruyan, he went straight to Ye Zhen and knelt down.

"My lord is guilty!"

Ye Zhen and Wen Ruyan were shocked.

I saw Ye Zhen hurriedly got up and helped Jiang Zhengyang up, saying: "Why is the prime minister like this? What is your crime?"

Jiang Zhengyang bowed his head: "I let the princess and the prince bear the pressure for several months. I can't share the worries for you two. This is a felony. I hope the princess will forgive me!"

To be honest, Ye Zhen was at a loss when Jiang Zhengyang said it so bluntly, she didn't know what to say.

Even Wen Ruyan who was sitting by the side frowned.

A few days ago, Ye Zhen always wanted to get Jiang Zhengyang's help, but Jiang Zhengyang never agreed, and it was Wen Ruyan's plan later that he fell to Ye Zhen's side.

It's also because of this, Ye Zhen has never really trusted Jiang Zhengyang in her heart.

Voluntary and forced are two different things.

For example, General Zhao Mingyuan, when Emperor Qi was seriously ill, he resolutely turned to Ye Zhen, and even gave up his life to help her, that's why Ye Zhen trusted him very much, no matter how big or small he was, he never hid it from him.

But Jiang Zhengyang is different. Many times when Ye Zhen faces him, she will involuntarily raise a trace of vigilance in her heart, just like today, when Jiang Zhengyang said that she had important matters to discuss with her, Ye Zhen was afraid that Jiang Zhengyang would lie to her, so she took Wen Ru Yan also called out.

In fact, this matter has always been a thorn in Ye Zhen's heart. It's better if no one mentions it when they meet each other, but now Jiang Zhengyang said it on the bright side, which really made Ye Zhen a little embarrassed.

After a while, I only heard Ye Zhen smile, and then said: "It's all over, why should the prime minister care so much? Now that you help me, the pressure on my shoulders is indeed much less, and I haven't thanked the prime minister yet."

Jiang Zhengyang shook his head, Ye Zhen frowned slightly seeing him like this.

He only heard him say: "I do have some unavoidable reasons for doing that. Originally, I didn't intend to talk about it, but I was afraid that the princess would not trust me, which would affect the overall situation, so I just invited the princess to talk about it today."

"Difficulty?"

Ye Zhen and Wen Ruyan looked at each other, and seeing Wen Ruyan shook her head cryptically, signaling her to listen, she then said, "What does the prime minister mean by that?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhengyang did not answer her question, but turned around and looked at Wen Ruyan who was at the side. A trace of surprise appeared on Wen Ruyan's face at that moment.

"Sun Gongzi is a great talent. He designed Yu Feng and Li Qingzheng one after another, which caused all the civil officials in the court to panic, and forced me to lean on the princess, but it is amazing. This official admires it."

As soon as he said this, Ye Zhen's face suddenly changed, but Wen Ruyan's expression was calm, he stood up and cupped his hands at Jiang Zhengyang, and said: "The prime minister really guessed it."

Jiang Zhengyang smiled slightly and said, "Didn't you already guess that I guessed it?"

These words sounded like charades, but Wen Ruyan still understood.

But before he could speak, Jiang Zhengyang said again: "But Mr. Sun thought I was forced to help the princess because of helplessness?"

Ye Zhen was taken aback for a moment, but a gleam of light flashed in Wen Ruyan's eyes.

I only heard Jiang Zhengyang say again: "I am the head of all civil servants. Although I have a certain right to speak in this situation, this position is actually a double-edged sword. Your Majesty is seriously ill, and the prince monopolizes the power. I don't know how many people in the court. My eyes are on me, so at this time, I can't stand on the side of the princess, Mr. Sun, do you know why?"

Wen Ruyan thought for a while, and then said: "To make Ye Lingxuan feel at ease!"

"That's right, Ye Lingxuan doesn't want to bear the notoriety of regicide, so he won't rebel for the time being, but if at that time I stood by the princess and put pressure on him, then everything is uncertain, don't you think?" ?”

Hearing this, Ye Zhen asked at the time: "In this case, why did the Prime Minister choose to help me in the end? Didn't you say it was not because of Mr. Sun's design?"

Jiang Zhengyang smiled and said: "This is the second thing I invited the princess to say today!"

Ye Zhen was taken aback, and Wen Ruyan frowned slightly.

There were only three of them in the hall at the moment, but the expressions of the three were all different.

Jiang Zhengyang first set his sights on Wen Ruyan, and then said: "The reason I am standing with the princess at this time is because the time is ripe."

As soon as he said this, Wen Ruyan and Ye Zhen were stunned for a moment.

"opportunity?"

"That's right!"

Seeing Ye Zhen looking at him with a puzzled expression, Jiang Zhengyang continued to say: "I spent several months and worked hard to instigate the vice-commander of the Imperial Forest Army to rebel. He is now my man!"

Jiang Zhengyang's words are not astonishing and endless.

As soon as his words fell, Ye Zhen exclaimed suddenly: "You said Meng Qiyuan is yours now?"

Jiang Zhengyang smiled and nodded: "This person has always been dissatisfied with Murong Qianjun, and always wanted to replace him, but Murong Qianjun has won Ye Lingxuan's trust, so he has no chance at all! So, if he has no chance, I have a chance!"

Jiang Zhengyang went on to say: "Now that there are our people in the Imperial Forest Army, as long as we find a way to get rid of Murong Qianjun, all the power of the imperial palace will fall into our hands. Ye Lingxuan is facing each other head-on, so he may not necessarily be at a disadvantage!"

Ye Zhen was already overwhelmed with surprise, she never expected that the prime minister who had never been trusted by her would give her such a big gift!
Seeing that Ye Zhen immediately saluted Jiang Zhengyang with excitement, and then said sincerely: "It turns out that the prime minister has been thinking about me all the time. I wrongly blamed the prime minister, and I hope the prime minister will forgive me!"

Seeing her like this, Jiang Zhengyang quickly helped Ye Zhen up with both hands, and said eagerly: "Princess, you must not do this, you are breaking the evil minister, eating the king's salary, you should share your worries, your majesty trusted you so much back then." As for me, now that he is seriously ill, how can I just sit back and do nothing while watching you and the crown prince suffer?"
