What a sin! The most handsome lazy man in the village married a crazy woman.

Chapter 183: The seemingly prosperous capital city is actually not peaceful

"Xiao Jingxuan is a very calm guy. Facing the doubts of those people, he said with disdain, since you have never seen my father, you are even less qualified to question. The emperor has confirmed my identity. What qualifications do you have as a minister to question? What, do you wish that King Pingshan will have no descendants? Do you think you are more capable than the emperor?"

"The brat even said that they wanted to rebel and take over the Pingshan Palace. Those bastards were so scared that they knelt on the ground and cried out for justice. They didn't dare to say another word."

Shangguan Zhenhua found it very funny when he thought about what happened in the morning court. Xiao Jingxuan was a guy who would not suffer any loss. He would confront anyone who questioned him. Even Gao Yi was confronted by him.

"Gao Yi's face was so ugly at that time."

Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an listened with great interest, and had already imagined in their minds the scene of Xiao Jingxuan killing everyone in the Golden Palace.

In the room, Jamel Xiao massaged Ye Tang's head: "The morning court is too terrible. I told my uncle the emperor that I came from the countryside and don't understand the court struggles. I don't understand what the ministers said. Today they dare to question me in the court, and tomorrow they will dare to laugh at me for being from the countryside. I don't want to go to the morning court, and my uncle the emperor agreed."

"Then I took the opportunity to ask the Emperor for some help. I told him that my parents died unjustly and that the soldiers who followed them died with their eyes wide open. I wanted to find out the truth and give them justice. The Emperor agreed."

"Secret investigation?"

"Well, we secretly investigated and the clues pointed to Gao Yi. What we need to do is to expose his tracks and find evidence. After so many years, the evidence is a little hard to find. Gao Yi hid it too deeply."

"In fact, my uncle also had doubts about my parents' affairs, so he had set his sights on Gao Yi early on. However, Gao Yi hid himself too well, and many officials in the court were on Gao Yi's side. Those people were not clean. Gao Yi had been the prime minister for so many years, and he had secretly gathered many people. The most important point is that most of the noble families in the capital had close ties with Gao Yi."

The establishment of the Yuan Dynasty was inseparable from the help of major aristocratic families. These aristocratic families had a profound foundation and had existed for hundreds of years. They produced many talented people. Among them, the four most powerful families were the Gao family, the Qiao family, the Su family, and the Han family.

The Gao family produced the Prime Minister Gao Yi, the Qiao family is the top official and businessman, the Su family has the old imperial teacher Su in charge, and the Han family is good at forging weapons, mechanisms and traps.

When the Yuan Dynasty was first established, these aristocratic families, relying on their merits in following the emperor and their strong background, frequently interfered in state affairs. Some even wanted to place themselves above the imperial power. They treated human life as cheap as grass and killed many of the country's talents.

Emperor Yuanwu could not tolerate the aristocratic families being so arrogant, and had been trying every means to weaken their power. Over the past thirty years, there have been results, and these aristocratic families have become much more obedient.

However, beneath the seemingly calm surface, there are actually undercurrents.

"My uncle always has a premonition that these aristocratic families will rebel one day, especially the Gao family... He asked us to be careful." Xiao Jingxuan told Ye Tang about the situation of the major families.

Ye Tang frowned: "We just met, and the emperor has told you so much. He trusts you too much."

"He doesn't trust me, but my parents..." This is what Xiao Jingxuan thought.

Ye Tang sighed softly. This prosperous capital city was too restless. If she was not careful, she would lose her head. If the world really went into chaos, her golden medal of immunity from death would be of no use.

There can't be any chaos. She still wants to continue living a peaceful life!

Xiao Jingxuan then told Ye Tang the rumors he heard when he came back.

Ye Tang was so angry that he laughed: "Look down on farmers? They eat the rice, flour and vegetables grown by farmers, and use the silk and cotton grown by silkworm and cotton farmers. What qualifications do they have to look down on farmers! How ridiculous!"

Jamel Xiao kissed her face: “Don’t be angry, it’s not worth getting angry with these people.”

Ye Tang looked indifferent: "I'm not angry, I just think these farmers are too shameless."

"The people who spread the rumors are really stupid. What's wrong with being a farmer? I'm proud of being a farmer's daughter. Husband, the rumors say that we are weak and useless. Well, we are weak. We can just play the pig and eat the tiger, making everyone think that we are weak and useless. When the time is right, we will show our talents and blind their eyes."

Rumors are hateful, but they can confuse many people, which may not be a bad thing.

After the couple had finished cleaning up, Lu Taohua and Lu Lihua had also prepared the pork trotter hotpot.

The pig's feet were braised in the morning and soaked in the brine for an hour. They were then paired with sour soup to make a hot pot. They were delicious when paired with bean sprouts, potatoes, tofu and cabbage.

Ye Tang and his companions immediately put aside the rumors and the events of the morning court and focused on eating.

At the same time, all the important figures in the capital knew about the affairs of Prince Pingshan.
