Chapter 1148 (1/2)

Dongqing, the capital of the kingdom.

”Master, there are soldiers from the imperial forest outside. The whole house is surrounded. I'm afraid I can't leave today.” Tian Jiu walked in from the outside and said to Ye Yiqing at the back of the book case.

Ye Yiqing said with a faint smile, ”the emperor won't let me resign. I'm sure I won't leave the capital.”

”What about that?” Tian Jiu asked.

”Don't worry. I still have some things to finish. I'll leave after that.” Ye Yiqing said in a slightly cold voice.

Tian Jiu faintly could guess what ye Yiqing said. He nodded softly, ”master, I'll go to prepare what I need on the way.”

”Go ahead.” Ye Yiqing nodded.

Only Ye Yiqing was left in the study. He wrote a letter with low eyes. He wrote several letters in succession. Then he put down his pen and called in his confidant outside. ”Before dark, try to send the letter out.”

”Yes, Mr. Xiang.” This confidant is Ye Yiqing's bodyguard. He is a young man. He was originally a slave. He was rescued by Ye Yiqing two years ago and brought home to teach him martial arts and train him to be a guard around him.

Ye Yiqing looked up at the sky outside. As he walked out of his study and was about to go to the backyard, he saw Cao Yu arguing with Yu Lin Bing at the gate.

”I am a student of Xiangye. Why can't I go in and visit him?” Cao Yu asked angrily to the soldiers who stopped him.

”The emperor ordered that no one should enter the prime minister's residence. Mr. Cao, you'd better not let us in trouble.” Said the commander of the imperial forest in a low voice.

Cao Yu said angrily, ”what do you mean? Is it house arrest? ”

The commander sighed helplessly, ”Mr. Cao, we are also subject to orders. Please forgive me.”

”You...” Cao Yu's face changed greatly with anger.

”Cao Yu, don't argue with the commander in chief here.” Ye Yiqing interrupted Cao Yu's words and stood behind the door with a faint smile, ”what can I do for you?”

When the commander saw Ye Yiqing, he bowed his hands and solemnly saluted, ”prime minister.”

”I dare not. I have resigned as prime minister, and I am no longer prime minister.” Ye Yiqing cast a cold look at the Yu Lin soldiers in front of the door, then turned to look at Cao Yu, ”what's the matter?”

Cao Yu took a step forward. ”The students heard that the teacher was trapped at home, so they came to have a look. The teacher was wronged.”

The commander who said this could not raise his head. The whole court knew why Lord Ye wanted to resign. But now the emperor's practice is too chilling. What can they say? I'm just sorry for Mr. Ye.

Although Ye Yiqing was a civil servant, he was a special existence in Dongqing. He could govern by the government, went to the battlefield, was respected by civil servants and respected by military generals. If dongqingguo lost him, it would be like losing his right arm. This is the reason why Li Heng ordered him to be put under house arrest here.

”I'm not aggrieved. You go back and don't get into this muddy water.” With a wave of his hand, ye Yiqing drove Cao Yu away.

”Teacher!” Cao Yu said with red eyes, ”the teacher has been wronged, but he has to be treated like this. The students will unite with the literati to seek justice for the teacher.”
