However, it was said that after Wang Chang became emperor, he became arrogant and excessive in his behavior, and was no longer consulting Ye on important decisions. One day, after Wang Chang was about to hear some matters of state, Ye intentionally walked out of the palace wearing the clothes of a Taoist monk. Wang Chang immediately summoned him back, and stated to him, "There are many things happening with the military and the state, but we have not talked with you for a long time. This is our fault." Ye bowed, and responded, "Your old subject is counseling you poorly, such that after Your Imperial Majesty took the throne, you have not had any good accomplishments to speak of. I beg to retire." Wang Chang replied, "The late Emperor trusted us to you, Lord. If our policy decisions were not good decisions, you, Lord, should speak openly. Why do you abandon us?" He rewarded much gold and silk to Ye, and told Ye to retake his position as chancellor.
