On the surface, this banquet was a celebration, but in fact it was intended to encourage some people in the north and tell them that the people sent by the court this time could really solve the problem.

Chu Qingyun and Ye Qingran were also at the banquet, but Ye Qingran seemed to be in a bad mood and didn't take a few bites.

"What's wrong?" Chu Qingyun asked softly.

"The problem of rogue bandits has been solved, but the plague in the west has not yet been solved. This is also a deadly thing."

After listening to her words, Chu Qingyun also felt that the matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the plague will only become more serious.

They can still sit here safely at this time, just because the plague has not come yet, and if one person is infected, the others cannot escape.

"Then why don't I accompany you there? This banquet is just a show, so you don't have to stay long."

"You are the prince. This is a banquet hosted by the third prince. There are other ministers here. It is not appropriate for you to leave the banquet in the middle."

Chu Qingyun shook his head: "I don't have to give them face."

"Many of these ministers know me, and they did not embarrass me because of your face. If I take you out of the banquet at this time, they don't know how they will arrange for me behind the scenes."

Ye Qingran smiled and said, "I don't like trouble, and I don't like trouble you."

Chu Qingyun wanted to say something else, but Ye Qingran stood up, said hello and left. He didn't even have time to say "pay attention to safety."

Seeing Ye Qingran leave, the ministers who were whispering seemed to have changed the topic, glanced at him silently, and then said: "This Ye Qingran is already a sinner. Your Majesty is merciful and spared her life. Only let Ye The family was exiled to the north, but I heard that their family ran away."

"Yes, such criminals should be reported to His Majesty and executed immediately."

Hearing these words, the third prince frowned and began to wink at them: "My lords, you'd better have your meal first. We can talk about these things later when we have time."

But these ministers did not seem to intend to give him face, and continued: "Although she has made some achievements in the disaster relief in the north, it is ultimately the credit of the prince and His Highness. She just got a little light and cannot bear the guilt."

"Does Ye Qingran's disaster relief work in the north need to be reported to His Majesty at the same time?"

"Then there's no need for it. We've already said that the merit is not worth the punishment and the result of the punishment cannot be changed, so why bother reporting this matter?"

Their words were very targeted, completely ignoring the dark-faced Chu Qingyun and the nervous-looking third prince.

"Are you done?"

Chu Qingyun looked at the people who were speaking coldly, "This matter in the Northern Territory is in my eyes. Exile is not a capital crime. There is no reason to execute it directly. What's more, disasters occur frequently in the Northern Territory, and many people have fled to other places. She He is also a normal person, doesn’t he have the right to escape?”

The ministers stopped talking, but their faces were clearly unconvinced.

He snorted coldly: "If you don't report anything that saves people from fire and water, then I would like to ask, what useful things have everyone here done?"

When he and Ye Qingran led the remaining common people to resist the bandits, these people were still on the road. Even if they came, they only ended up. Even if they were to be credited, they could only be counted among the Third Prince. On the body.

These ministers are the least qualified to criticize Ye Qingran.

After hearing what Chu Qingyun said, the ministers did not dare to refute, and turned their attention to the third prince, trying to get the third prince to come forward and say a few words for them.

But they forgot that the third prince did not support their opening from the beginning, but they did not listen, so the third prince just drank in silence and ignored them.

But he couldn't escape the fight between these people. Chu Qingyun asked: "What do you think, the emperor's nephew?"

When Chu Qingyun called him by name, the third prince paused for a moment, then put down his wine glass and replied: "My nephew believes that no matter whether it is merit or demerit, it should be reported to the father truthfully, and it is up to the father to decide whether to repay the demerit or not. It’s really biased.”

After hearing what he said, the ministers were a little unhappy, but they did not dare to speak due to Chu Qingyun's power, so they could only grit their teeth and endure it.

Seeing that the third prince was so sensible, Chu Qingyun did not intend to embarrass him. He just nodded: "The emperor's nephew is a sensible person, but the people under his command should also be taken care of, so as not to miss the emperor's important events."

Hearing the threat in his words, the third prince was inevitably a little displeased, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he replied obediently: "Yes, my nephew understands."

Seeing how obedient he was, Chu Qingyun couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Judging from the information obtained through his investigation, the third prince would not be so submissive. He was just too cautious, so he chose to be patient at this time.

Such people need more attention than those who speak arrogantly.

Seeing that the third prince did not stand up for them, a minister stood up and said with his hands in his hands: "I'm sorry to be blunt, but Ye Qingran is not only a sinner, but also a deposed queen. The prince was once the emperor's sister-in-law. I'm afraid the prince is too close to her." Not a good thing.”

Chu Qingyun picked up the wine glass and sneered: "Haha, I wonder when Master Yan will get involved in royal affairs? Could it be that Master Yan can be your Majesty's master once he reaches the northern border?"

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Yan's face turned pale: "You...I..."

He pointed at Chu Qingyun and said nothing useful for a long time.

"What are you talking about? Master Yan has forgotten his dignity and inferiority. What kind of crime should he do if he commits the same crime?!"

Chu Qingyun put the wine glass on the table and was immediately shaken to pieces by his internal force.

He stood up, walked to Master Yan and stared at him: "Master Yan, wasn't he so articulate just now? Why aren't you talking now?"

Everyone understood that they really angered Chu Qingyun.

They did not expect that the Xiaoyao King, who had never been seen before, not only had the ability to calm the situation in the north, but could also gain a foothold and establish authority among many officials, even though he had never been involved in court affairs.

As for Master Yan, he was used to scare the monkeys.

Others did not dare to speak out, for fear that the fire would burn themselves.

Only the third prince couldn't stand it and spoke up: "Sir Yan has already said what he said, so it's better to bow his head and admit his mistake. I believe that the emperor's uncle has a lot of money and won't argue with you."

Mr. Yan knew that he was no match for Chu Qingyun, so he had no choice but to go down the slope, bend down and hold his hands in his hands: "I made a mistake in my humble position. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Chu Qingyun said solemnly: "Is this your attitude of admitting your mistake?"

Master Yan was sweating profusely and clenched his teeth: "I don't know how to humble my position..."

"Kneel down."

The two words were spoken softly, but they were as heavy as a thousand pounds on everyone's heads.

"I say, kneel down."

Chu Qingyun narrowed his eyes, "Is it possible that Master Yan doesn't want his head anymore?"

"Yes, I know my fault despite my humble position."

Master Yan knelt down with a plop, "Please spare your life, Your Majesty!"
