After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 135 Rewards for the Chu Family

After listening to Qi Wushuang's story, Ye Wuwei really didn't know how to comment on this matter.

Especially the Prince of Chu.

In Ye Wuwei's mind, Prince Chu was once a very powerful general, but now he has become a confused man in Ye Wuwei's mind.

"Is it because of this incident that Prince Chu particularly favors Chu Yuyan?"

“Not entirely.

According to the old people in the Chu family, when the uncle saw the scene of Chu Yuyan's biological mother's belly being cut open, he almost collapsed and burst into tears on the spot.

The crying was even louder than the crying I heard later in front of my grandmother’s coffin.”

After hearing what Qi Wushuang said, Ye Wuwei didn't know how to evaluate Prince Chu.

"Is Chu Yuyan's biological mother a very beautiful woman?"

"Why do you think so?"

"If she wasn't very beautiful, how could the Prince of Chu still love her and do so many ridiculous things for her even though he knew she had made a serious mistake?"

"I've never seen her, but I've heard the nanny around my mother talk about her.

They say she isn't particularly beautiful, but she looks delicate and frail, easily attracting men's affection."

Ye Wuwei understood:

Chu Yuyan’s biological mother should be what modern people call white lotus plus green tea.

It seems that whether in modern times or ancient times, white lotus green tea is the biggest killer of men.

Especially a general like the Prince of Chu who is born with a "hero complex".

What about Qi Wushuang?

Qi Wushuang is also a real general. Will he be easily fooled by the white lotus and green tea?

Thinking of this, Ye Wuwei looked at Qi Wushuang.

Ye Wuyi forgot for a moment that he was once a soldier.

Seeing Ye Wuwei looking at him strangely, Qi Wushuang touched his face:

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my face?"

"Will you be fooled?"

Ye Wuwei's question was nonsensical, but Qi Wushuang understood it strangely.

“I am different from my uncle.

Although my uncle was a capable commander of troops and warriors, he grew up in a relatively simple environment. I grew up in the imperial palace, and especially experienced so many assassination attempts.

So I am much more accurate in judging people than my uncle."

"Then you already knew what kind of person Chu Yuyan was?"

"Ok.

But my uncle treats me better than he treats Chi. Even if it’s just for my uncle’s sake, I can’t say anything bad to Chu Yuyan.”

"In that case, why don't you agree with Prince Chu's request to confer the title of County Lady on Chu Yuyan?"

Qi Wushuang squeezed Ye Wuwei's hand again, "You're asking even though you already know the answer."

"What about your other three uncles? How does Prince Bichu treat you?"

“The other three uncles were very kind to me, especially my third uncle.

It's just that due to his status, he couldn't show it too obviously."

At this time, the two had already walked to Qi Wushuang's bedroom.

Qi Wushuang instructed Xiao Dengzi:

"Send someone to find Fu Chi and tell him I have something to discuss with him and ask him to come over."

Ye Wuwei asked, "Are you planning to discuss with Chu Fuchi about conferring titles on the Chu family?"

"Ok.

As you said:

It's just a title and some salary, and it has no impact on the foundation of the Qi Dynasty.

Why don’t I give them some benefits?”

"The main thing is that they were really good to you before, so giving them a title won't chill their hearts.

However, there must be a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and we cannot allow illegitimate children to overshadow legitimate children."

Qi Wushuang was surprised:

"Didn't you disagree with the system of legitimate and illegitimate children before? Why are you suddenly saying there's a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children now?"

"I don't like the idea of ​​distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate children, but since the etiquette is like this, we still have to abide by the rules.

Even Mencius said, 'Without rules, there can be no square or circle,' so we must naturally follow this."

The main reason is that taking concubines was legal in ancient times.

"Who is Mencius?"

"A saint."

"How come I've never heard of it?"

Ye Wuwei said shamelessly: "That's because you are ignorant."

Now that he was in the bedroom, Qi Wushuang was no longer afraid of being seen and was not so honest anymore.

He pinched Ye Wuwei's waist and said, "You're talking nonsense."

Ye Wuwei took off his mask and pointed at his mouth.

"With your mouth so rotten, how can you still be serious?"

Looking at Ye Wuwei's mouth, Qi Wushuang felt guilty. But he still said stubbornly:

"Who told you to be so reckless?"

"How about I bite your mouth open too?"

"Okay, you can bite as much as you want tonight."

Ye Wuwei glanced at Qi Wushuang:

If Qi Wushuang went to court with the same messy mouth as him, their affair would no longer be hidden!

However, you can’t bite the mouth, but you can bite other parts of the body!

It’s my fault that I was so busy begging for mercy last night that I didn’t think about this matter.

……

When Chu Fuchi heard Qi Wushuang's message to him, he was a little worried that Qi Wushuang had discovered that Ye Wuwei had gone to the north.

But when he saw the two people being so affectionate in the bedroom, Chu Fuchi knew that it was not the case.

"What do you want from me?"

When meeting Qi Wushuang in private, Chu Fuchi did not follow the rules, especially when Ye Wuwei was around.

"Wu Wei reminded me today to confer titles on several of my uncles. I think what he said makes sense, and I'd like to ask for your opinion."

Chu Fuchi actually had the same idea, but he was a member of the Chu family after all, and he was afraid of being criticized if he brought it up.

"Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?"

Chu Fuchi was asking this question to Ye Wuwei.

"Didn't I accept five hundred taels of silver from Chu Jianghe today? I can't just accept it for nothing. I have to find some benefits for him."

Qi Wushuang and Chu Fuchi both knew that Ye Wuwei was joking, but with this preparation, the following matters became easier to discuss.

But Chu Fuchi still couldn't say it directly, so he asked Qi Wushuang:

"How do you want to seal it?"

Qi Wushuang looked at Ye Wuwei again: "What do you think?"

Ye Wuyi looked innocent:

"Isn't this a matter between you and the Chu family? Why are you asking me again?"

"Since you brought up the matter, I naturally have to ask you."

"Does that mean you'll agree to whatever I say?"

Qi Wushuang didn't fall for Ye Wuwei's trick:

"That's not necessarily true. It depends on what the matter is. But I have no problem following your lead regarding the Chu family's nobility title."

Ye Wuwei thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll tell you. If there's anything I haven't considered carefully, please point it out."

"You said."

"Of your four uncles, your eldest uncle has been granted the title of Prince of Chu, and the other three uncles have all been granted the title of County Duke."

"Didn't you just say that there should be distinctions between legitimate and illegitimate children? Why do all three uncles have the same title?"

"Didn't you say that my third uncle was also raised by my grandmother? That makes no difference to a legitimate son.

Besides, Taian still needs his assistance."

Ye Wuwei blurted out "third uncle" and "grandmother", but he himself did not realize it.

The reason why Ye Wuwei said this was not only because Qi Wushuang said that his third uncle cared about him the most, but also because he said that his third uncle was the most capable.

Qi Wushuang realized: He slowly said "Third Uncle"? "Grandmother"?

Ye Wuwei's face turned red. What did it mean to pretend not to understand?

Qi Wushuang wanted to hear Ye Wuwei call him "uncle" a few more times, so he didn't press him. Instead, he looked at Chu Fuchi:

"what is your opinion?"

Chu Fuchi thought for a moment:

"Wu Wei is right, Third Uncle is the most capable. With his assistance, Tai An will be able to govern Ying much more smoothly.

However, it would be best to register him under my grandmother's name."

"That's it."

Qi Wushuang asked Ye Wuwei again: "Why did you choose to talk about the county lord?"
