Check to be the son of heaven!

Sure enough, it appeared!

Speaking of which, Zhang Yongde is really unlucky, in history, he was put down by this trick and gave up the position of the inspection to Zhao Da, and this time, it fell on his head again.

There are many coincidences in the world!

Ye Hua thought about it for a while, then invited his senior brother Li Shi over, and the two of them sat opposite each other in the study, Ye Hua gave a strict order, no matter who came to him, they would all block the drive.

Ye Hua must sort out the current situation, and similarly, Li Xi also has a stomach to say.

"Senior brother, you let me enter the cabinet, but you offended a lot of people!"

Li Xian sighed: "I have never been treated well by civil officials, and even those people under you think that I can't do it, but you just pushed me to that position, I don't know how many people complain about you behind your back!" ”

Ye Hua chuckled, "I don't have any subordinates at all, some people rely on me to get up, but when they take power, there is only business between us, no personal friendship!" ”

Ye Hua is really not bragging, he often corresponds with him, among the civil officials, only his senior brother Li Xian, and among the military generals, there are only Zhao Kuangyin, Han Tong, Yang Ye and others...... The rest of the people, it's not that Ye Hua looks down on them, but among the courtiers, the most taboo is to form a party for personal gain, sitting in Ye Hua's position, the less they come and go, the less trouble.

"Senior brother, listen to what you mean, it seems that some people are unwilling and want to seize power?"

"Not some, but quite a few!" Li Xi corrected.

Don't look at Li Shi's usual hanging, and he doesn't care about fame, but after all, he has studied with Feng Dao for ten years, and he is by Ye Hua's side, and he is very talented.

Chai Rong was injured by the imperial horse, and the first thing everyone thought of was to assassinate the emperor...... But when the spearhead was aimed at Zhang Yongde, and even wanted to put him to death, Li Shi became vigilant, the target was not the emperor, but Zhang Yongde!

Zhang Yongde is nothing remarkable, it is not worth fighting, but don't forget, Zhang Yongde is the concubine of the first emperor, and if you follow him, you can implicate many people, and these people have a common identity: the former ministers of the first emperor!

Analyzing this, Ye Hua suddenly remembered a person, that was Wei Renpu!

Before the old guy was dismissed, he mentioned the first emperor and Guo Wei several times. Ye Hua was noncommittal to Lao Wei's words, and later Wei Renpu was involved in the stock incident, which made his son denounce and leave Beijing gloomily, an old minister of the two dynasties, Wei Renpu, who had been cautious all his life, suddenly fell.

Ye Hua frowned, although Lao Wei was not able to catch it, he was also paving the way for his son, but these two alone were not enough to let him leave Beijing.

In other words, if Ye Hua decided to join forces with Lao Wei when he was in the Western Regions, Wei Renpu would not leave in a hurry.

Lao Wei is afraid!

What kind of forces can make the prime ministers of the two dynasties protect themselves at the cost of stigma? There is really an article in this!

"Senior brother, after I returned to Beijing, I heard some news, Wang Xianggong's death is strange!"

"Wang Pu?"

Ye Hua muttered: "He is the prime minister, he stays in the capital, and he has great power, isn't it enough to protect himself?" If even the prime minister can't save his life...... It is not surprising to get a horse to plot against the Son of Heaven, to get a stone tablet, and to slander the general. ”

Ye Hua's acumen didn't need to be suspicious, he connected things together in an instant.

Li Xian pondered: "I only know that although Wang Xianggong is tired and tired, he has no worries about his life, but a few months before his death, someone offered a kind of elixir, saying that it can boost energy and strengthen the mind." After Wang Xianggong took it, his spirit was greatly improved, and he stayed all night to deal with official business, and there was no fatigue, but a few months later, he suddenly died! ”

Ye Hua was shocked, "Is there such a thing?" What medicine did Wang Pu take? DID YOU KNOW? ”

Li Xian shook his head, "I've only heard about it, and I'm not sure yet." ”

When Wang Pu died, Ye Hua and Chai Rong were still in the Western Regions, and the tone set at that time was to overwork and die of exhaustion. The person who treated Wang Pu's funeral was Lu Duoxun, and the legendary medicine disappeared.

Lu Duoxun also issued a strict order, whoever dared to chew the root of his tongue was immediately punished severely, and many noises were suppressed, and when Ye Hua returned to Beijing, there was only the memory of Wang Xianggong.

Including Ye Hua, he was unwilling to use malice to speculate on the death of an old minister.

But today, when Li Xi mentioned it, Ye Hua thought of the medicine for the war horse again...... Could it be that Wang Pu eats this?

Ye Hua had heard that Wang Pu liked Taoist classics, and he had also refined physical strengthening pills in private...... In fact, the literati of all generations had nothing to do when they were full, and they all had some strange hobbies. Although the current scholars do not collectively take Wushisan, it is not surprising that they occasionally take some elixir.

Especially Wang Pu is busy with work and pressure, and it is normal to eat some strange things.

It's just that Wang Xianggong is afraid that he can't imagine that the elixir that seems to be able to strengthen the body is actually a life-urging talisman!

Moreover, if Wang Pu really died of a plot, then who wants his life?

After Wang Pu's death, Wei Renpu and Fan Zhen left one after another, did these two people notice it, for fear that they would follow in Wang Pu's footsteps and die unexpectedly?

The more Ye Hua thought about it, the more likely it was.

After all, the big guys are all old foxes, and they have been rolling in officialdom all their lives, how can it be so easy, if they say give up, they will give up, if there is really no way, they will never take this road.

Now there is only one question left, what is this force that assassinated Wang Pu and scared Wei Renpu and Fan Zhen to run away?

Li Xi pondered for a long time, he slowly raised his head, and looked at Ye Hua...... "Senior brother, this power is you!" ”

"Me?" Ye Hua snorted, "Senior brother thinks I'm a murderer?" ”

"Of course you're not a murderer!" Li Xi immediately denied it: "I mean, this power is cultivated by you!" ”

Ye Hua took a deep breath and seemed to have an understanding.

For so many years, although Ye Hua abides by his duty as a minister and does not seize power, he has left too many things, so many that they are innumerable...... First of all, there are the large pastures of Youzhou and Yunzhou, as well as the woolen industry, and secondly, there are soldiers' granges and coal mines in Hedong, silk and shipbuilding industries in Jiangnan, and Juntun and sea trade in Lingnan.

If you calculate it carefully, the Juntian of the Central Plains, the financial system, the new style of literati, and even the military training...... Ye Hua intervened, and he intervened deeply.

After many years, it blossomed and fruited, forming interest groups one after another.

Compared with traditional scholars, they are more closely connected with each other, more efficient, and more powerful.

Ye Hua has been working hard, hoping to achieve a rich country and a strong army, hoping to reproduce the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties...... But when the grand goal was achieved for the most part, Ye Hua found that he had cultivated a group of monsters at the same time.

"Senior brother, I still have a little doubt, these forces are in conflict with each other, such as the small peasant economy in the Central Plains and the pasture farm in Yanyun, which are like fire and water, how did they form an alliance? Or rather, who is their common enemy? ”

Li Yan paused, smiled bitterly and spit out two words, "Your Majesty"!

That's right, the opponent of these people is the emperor, to be precise, the powerful emperor!

For example, the mining workshops, these capitalists, they need land, raw materials, labor, and the court needs to revolve around them...... The maritime merchants in the southeast, they want to monopolize foreign trade, and the imperial court should not get involved in it, especially Chai Shouli's wanton gold-making behavior, which makes the merchants envious and jealous.

As for the small-scale peasant economy in the Central Plains, these representatives are opposed to the use of foreign troops.

The reason is very simple, there is not much surplus in the small peasant economy, and the big guys are living tightly.

Chai Rong also blindly uses foreign soldiers, levies taxes, levies Ding, and lays down more land, how much value is it to them? Every time we use troops on a large scale with foreign countries, we don't get the benefits, and we suffer first, so it's better not to fight!

Analyzing this, the whole situation is clear.

No matter who it is, they all hope that the emperor will be more restrained and less careful...... However, Chai Rong is determined and doesn't care about these voices at all, and they don't dare to hope that Chai Rong can change.

Since you can't do it, then find someone to deal with Chai Rong.

Looking at the government and the opposition, the only one who has weight is Ye Hua.

As long as Ye Hua doesn't cooperate with Chai Rong, even if the emperor wants to do things, he can't do it.

At the moment, Ye Hua and Chai Rong are still close monarchs and allies, so what needs to be done is to insert a wedge between the two!

Standing at a sufficient height, Ye Hua finally penetrated the fog and regained control of the situation.

In the past three years, he has been fighting outside, and Da Zhou has undergone too many changes, especially those under his original command, who have stood on different positions because of the divergence of interests.

Maybe the subordinates who used to obey orders will also become disobedient, and perhaps, some of them also want to replace themselves and bring the huge forces under their command......

The people's hearts are sinister, and the situation is unpredictable!

Ye Hua and Li Shi had a long talk, and finally had a clue. As soon as he came out of the study, there was a father-in-law waiting outside.

"Master Hou, the saint is invited!"

Ye Hua didn't think about anything and hurriedly entered the palace.

Chai Rong was dragging a wooden box in his hand, which was filled with Huang Chengcheng's small pills.

"Ye Qing, this is an elixir that someone has given to me, saying that it can strengthen the body and prolong life, which is very precious." Chai Rong said, grabbing a pill, "You can taste it too, the effect is good!" ”
