Mingmen Family

Chapter 245
All the men in the room looked at Ye Yaming expectantly.

They were all ashamed deep in their hearts.A big man in the family, but eagerly counting on the 17-year-old girl to solve the problem, they are really useless.

Ye Yaming walked into the room and found a chair to sit down, recalling in her mind what Lu Guanyi had mentioned, and the news about Beijing she had received from Zan'er, while asking Ye Hongchang: "Uncle, what is the third prince?" Such a person, do you know?"

For the past ten years, Ye Hongchang has stayed in the capital most of the time, and he is still in the teahouse business, so he knows some news.

He nodded: "The third prince is born of Concubine Hui. It is said that Concubine Hui came from a family of petty officials, and her natal family is not visible. The second prince is also in a similar situation. Usually the two princes are very low-key and hardly cause trouble, so outside There aren't many rumors."

He said this to Ye Chongming when Ye Yaming came.

It's just that in everyone's opinion, saying this is tantamount to not saying it, and it is of no use to the situation facing the Ye family.

Keep a low profile and don't cause trouble, but now they have found them on the head of the Ye family. It was brought by Wang Kuan, obviously the visitor was not kind.

Ye Yaming nodded.

The information she gathered was similar.

In the 130 years since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, the founding monarch Yuan seized the imperial power of the old dynasty and directly established a new government.After ascending to the throne, in order to consolidate the regime, he had no choice but to marry the daughters of the old family's daughters, and took many daughters from the old families into the palace. As a result, the regime he established was almost overthrown.

After surviving this political crisis, he established a rule that princes who marry wives and concubines can only be the daughters of officials below the fifth-rank official.Rank five or above, especially women from aristocratic families, are not included in the scope of the draft.

Therefore, the concubines in the current emperor's harem are not of high birth, and all of them came from civil servant families.The only exception is Empress Shi who was just abolished from the Duke of Wei's mansion.

When Ye Yaming got the information compiled by Zan'er, he really thought that Wei Guogong's family was stupid. Knowing that the emperor had no choice but to marry Empress Shi, their heads might be chopped off at some point. , but also a high-profile struggle for power.

But after thinking about it, I felt that the Duke of Wei's government had no choice but to do so.

Those who can't fight will be eradicated by the emperor in the end, so it's better to stand up, turn the emperor upside down, and let the four princes sit on the throne, so that their heads around their necks can be stable.

There were the princes from the Yuan Dynasty, and the fourth princes from the successors. The second and third princes with no background naturally had to keep a low profile.

Now that the fourth prince is down, the third prince is starting to cry?

Ye Yaming asked: "Where does the servant live? In Wang Kuan's residence?"

Ye Chongming was stunned, with a look of shame on his face: "As soon as they left, I sent someone to call you, and then I came back to discuss countermeasures with your uncle and father, and didn't check where he lives."

Ye Hongchang quickly added: "It's not easy to investigate, right? If they find out..."

Ok.

The Ye family has always been merchants with low status, and any small official in the yamen can make them kneel down.Now that the prince's servant came, it's normal to be scared to death.

Ye Yaming shouted outside: "Zan'er."

Zan'er quickly ran in: "The villain is here."

"This morning, a tea merchant named Wang Kuan accompanied a servant from the capital to the teahouse to talk to the old man. Go and find out where the servant lives and when did he get in touch with Wang Kuan."

"Yes."

"Before going to investigate, please detour to Mr. Qi's mansion, and send a letter to Mr. Qi for me."

"Yes, girl."

Ye Yaming immediately wrote a letter, and Zan'er took the letter and left.

Seeing Ye Yaming deal with things in a calm manner, although the heart of the Ye family man has not been settled, he is not as flustered and lost as he was at the beginning.

After Zan'er left, Ye Hongchang asked: "The prefect of Qi can't handle the matter of the third prince, right?"

They had considered this issue before Ye Yaming came back.The Ye family cooperated with the two young masters Lu Qi, and young master Lu suddenly went to join the army a year and a half ago, leaving behind young master Qi to do business with them.

Now that the trouble is coming, the only thing they can rely on is the prefect of Qi.But how can a small prefect fight against the third prince?That's why they were worried.

Ye Chongming and Ye Yaming looked at each other, the meaning in his eyes was very clear, he just wanted to ask if the Lu family could handle this matter.

Behind the Lu family is the prince.As long as the crown prince comes forward, the third prince is nothing to worry about.

Ye Yaming said: "Let's not talk about how to deal with it first, let's talk about the situation first. The servants in the palace can't leave the capital without the holy will. The prefect of Qi will definitely know about the servants coming to Lin'an. Check out the situation first. .And didn’t my grandfather make an appointment with them to reply tomorrow? Tomorrow I will go to the teahouse together and have an interview with that servant to find out their truth.”

"What about after the investigation? Ming'er, do you have any ideas? Your fiancé..." Ye Hongchang couldn't help asking.

Everyone guessed that Ye Yaming's marriage was fabricated by himself, and there were no dignitaries in Beijing.Ye Hongchang didn't think so.

He knows his father well and seeks stability in everything. He doesn't have the courage to fabricate such a big lie.You must know that forging official dresses and noble clothes is a crime of deceiving the emperor.The Ye family has not been forced to the point of nowhere, so there is no need to make such a risky move.

Even if the Ye family wants to play a dangerous game, it is impossible for the intelligent master to participate in it.His old man was out of his mind to commit this crime of deceiving the emperor with the Ye family.How about the Ye family, what does it have to do with the master of human intelligence?

He vaguely guessed that it was Lu Guanyi who was engaged to Ye Yaming.

After all, Ye Yaming is beautiful and smart.She went to Huizhou with Lu Guanyi, and secretly fell in love with her day and night. Lu Guanyi broke through the concept of family status and got engaged to Ye Yaming, logically speaking, there was no problem at all.

Furthermore, Lu Guanyi was born in the Marquis Mansion, he was the descendant of the noble family.After returning from Huizhou, he returned to the capital and went to the border.Isn't it normal to be awarded the rank of fifth-rank military officer after a little meritorious service after becoming a noble?
With such a guess, Ye Hongchang later went to Minzhou with Ye Yaming and Qi Ji, and seeing that Qi Ji respected Ye Yaming very much, it was purely the respect that his younger brother had for his sister-in-law, Ye Hongchang confirmed his conjecture even more.

But the old man and Ye Yaming kept silent about who the betrothed was, even if outsiders guessed very badly, they did not come forward to clarify. Ye Hongchang guessed that there was some reason for this, so that they could not tell the outside world.

So even though he guessed the truth, he didn't ask his father for confirmation.

But now that the Ye family is facing such a crisis, he has no choice but to ask.Those present were all close relatives, and Lao Di and Ming'er shouldn't have concealed it from them.
