After Ye Hua left Beijing, Chai Rong found a problem, although he set up a capital inspection and commanded the forbidden army, but the Privy Council was still controlled by civilian officials, Ye Hua was in Beijing, and he could suppress civilian officials, but after Ye Hua went out, the entire military affairs had to be handled by civilian officials.

Xue Juzheng, the privy envoy, was too weak to withstand the huge pressure at all.

Chai Rong intends to promote Zhao Pu and take over as the privy envoy, but the privy envoy is different from the three envoys, and he really has the power of the army, Zhao Pu's qualifications are still too shallow, and there is another problem, Chai Rong did not say it, that is, Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyin are fellow villagers, and they are both surnamed Zhao, although they are not relatives of the Privy Council, but they insist on saying that they have a relationship, and they are not wronged.

If Zhao Pu is allowed to take over as the privy envoy, Zhao Kuangyin should be checked, and the military power of the entire Great Zhou will not fall into the hands of these two people.

Among the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty, only Ye Hua could be trusted unconditionally.

So Chai Rongsi thought about it, and transferred a veteran into the capital, this person is named Hou Yi, his qualifications are quite profound, and he took refuge in Li Keyong in his early years, because he was brave in battle, he was promoted and reused all the way, and he did not fall after several dynasties.

When Guo Wei entered Beijing, Hou Yi chose to surrender, and soon resigned and returned to his hometown in the name of old illness.

Counting, this old man is over seventy years old, but he is strong, I heard that he can eat two catties of meat at a meal, can dance the big iron knife, the former veteran has died, killed, the only thing left is Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, but it is the identity of a relative, and it is inconvenient to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

Hou Yi entered Beijing and became the best choice.

Chai Rong decisively issued an edict and let Hou Yi and Xue Juzheng serve as privy envoys together, regardless of size.

Hou Yi has lived a long time, but he actually knows how to advance and retreat very well, otherwise he would not have chosen to resign as soon as Guo Wei entered Kaifeng.

However, the old man has led the troops all his life, and he is very assertive.

After he met Chai Rong, he talked about military affairs, Hou Yi thought that the northerners were good at riding horses, not good at rowing, rather than wasting financial resources and developing sailors, it was better to capture Bashu first, and then take Jinghu, as long as they occupied the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and then chose the opportunity to cross the river and destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty.

That's how Wei and Jin destroyed Wu Shu and dominated the world.

It's really unnecessary, it's too unwise to waste energy on the sea, to use your own shortcomings and hit others' strengths.

Frankly speaking, Hou Yi's point of view represents the views of many generals, even including the generals of the forbidden army, and the big guys feel that the Great Zhou horse infantry cavalry is invincible in the world, so why waste effort on the water division.

It is precisely because of this situation that Lu Duosun went south to Chuzhou, called to take silver two, but in fact he came to see the situation.

It's just that no one expected that not long after Lu Duosun left, he put on a blood letter with sincere words, and tried his best to echo Ye Hua's proposition!

"I have known for a long time that this surname Lu is unreliable! He shouldn't have been sent south! Wei Renpu said politely.

Xue Juzheng shrugged his shoulders and said in a low voice: "If you don't send him, who is still suitable?" ”

Wei Renpu was speechless, they just felt that Lu Duoxun dared to propose the destruction of the Buddha, he was a fearless character, with a tough personality, and he could deal with Ye Hua.

It's just that they forgot that Ye Hua is much more difficult to deal with than those wood carving clay sculptures!

Didn't Li Gu also oppose Qingzhang at the beginning, but he was forced by Ye Hua to become the vanguard of Juntian, and now it's okay, send Lu Duoxun out, and let Ye Hua become a drummer for the development of water divisions!

Grandma's, Ye Hua, this kid, is a cancer, no matter how good a person is, if you mix with him, you will become bad...... Emotion is emotion, what should I do at the gate?

Who would have expected that Ye Hua would go south almost alone, and Ren Tianxing was just a pirate leader, and they would make such a big move, which was really impressive!

Wang Pu said in a deep voice: "Suzhou has been rich since ancient times, it is a paradise on earth, and now Su Shang has surrendered to become a vassal of the Great Zhou." This is the majesty of the saint and deserves to be celebrated. It's just that Suzhou is far away in the south of the Yangtze River and is not connected to my Great Zhou, so how to deal with it still needs to be discussed in the long run. ”

The prime minister set the tone, and it was difficult for others to say anything.

Lao Wei was full of embarrassment, "Xianggong Wang, what else can I do!" If you want to defend Suzhou, you must immediately send troops south, seize Yangzhou and Taizhou, occupy Jiangbei, build warships, train sailors, and mobilize military rations...... According to my estimates, before our reinforcements arrived, Suzhou was either taken back by Wu Yue or occupied by the Southern Tang Dynasty, which is simply a piece of chicken ribs! It's a pity to eat without meat, and it's a pity to throw it away! Ye Hua's kid, except for causing trouble to us, has no other ability! “

Lao Wei's words attracted a burst of echoes, and the big guy thought about it carefully, what is the benefit of wanting Suzhou, I can't see it at all!

will also because of the relationship in Suzhou, Wu Yue completely came together with the Southern Tang Dynasty and became the confidant of the Great Zhou.

Several ministers, repeatedly discussed, could not make up their minds, at this time, Chai Rong suddenly issued a decree, announcing that they had discussed in the past, no need to ask, it must be to discuss the affairs of Suzhou.

It can be seen that the Son of Heaven is very satisfied with Ye Hua's results.

"This time, the old man takes the lead!"

Wei Renpu said in a sullen voice: "You can't let Ye Hua have the final say on everything, otherwise what use do you want us!" ”

Xue Juzheng gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, anyway, it's not interesting for me to be a privy envoy, I'm the second!" ”

The newly appointed deputy envoy of the Third Division, Zhao Shangjiao, also came up, "The treasury is empty, the sailor is spending a lot of money, we can't carry a black pot for a mere Suzhou!" ”

Several important ministers looked at each other and all nodded.

If you want to say that Ye Hua is in the capital, they don't have the guts, but Ye Hua is not there, then I'm sorry.

We are also important ministers of the court, how can we be other people's followers.

After the ceremony, Chai Rong really asked about Suzhou.

Wei Renpu was the first to stand up.

"Your Majesty, this time in Suzhou, the merchants were unbearable, and they gathered a crowd to expel Wu Yue's officials. They nominally took refuge in Da Zhou, but they just wanted to use the power of Da Zhou to protect themselves, not sincerely. And the businessman is cunning, and he can't be trusted. Besides, Suzhou is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Great Zhou Whip is out of reach, so he can't take care of Suzhou at all...... Therefore, the old minister thought that he might as well act as if nothing had happened, and everything would be as usual! ”

"Your Majesty, the southerners are cunning, don't be gullible, the treasury has limited financial resources, and you shouldn't waste food and salary for the sake of Suzhou." Zhao Shangjiao bowed.

After he finished speaking, Xue Juzheng also said: "Your Majesty, the way to use troops is to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, although the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is dim and unknown, but the Southern Tang Dynasty Navy Division is strong, just relying on pirates, relying on the city of Suzhou, how can the whole overall situation be overturned, the minister thinks that the elite should be mobilized to capture Jinghu and Bashu, this is the right thing to do!" ”

As soon as it came up, there were three heavy cannons, and Chai Rong also frowned.

He pondered that there were constant surprises in Jiangnan, and it should be easy to convince everyone to work together to go south, but who knew that there were more people who opposed it.

Chai Rong calmed his face and looked at the others.

"What do you think?"

At this time, the veteran Hou Yi stood up, "Your Majesty, the champion Hou turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands for rain, stirring up Jiangnan into a mess, and the old minister thought that his means were extraordinary, and he was indeed a rare young talent, a pillar of the country." The old minister felt that he should accept the surrender of Suzhou, and His Majesty issued a holy decree to give a big seal, and there would be no harm to the country! ”

is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, this heart is black enough

His meaning is clearly that he regards Suzhou as a sacrifice, whether he is dead or alive, and it has nothing to do with the Great Zhou, he is completely watching from the wall, and he wants to be the mentality of the people who eat melons.

Chai Rong's brows became tighter and tighter, and at this time, Prime Minister Wang Pu finally stood up.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that if the Suzhou gentry and businessmen really belong to the Great Zhou, we may be able to find a way to take people over, as for Suzhou, we really shouldn't waste our strength."

……

This time it was fun, and almost all the important ministers had the same attitude. Among the few people left, Li Gu knew that his image in Chai Rong's mind was not good, and he had no room to speak at all.

Han Xizai, he is a traditional scholar, he looks down on businessmen in his heart, and he doesn't think that the businessmen in Suzhou can make any noise, but Zhao Pu, he has the heart to speak for Ye Hua, but he is soft-spoken, and in the face of this group of people, he has no room to interject.

The attitude of the ministers made Chai Rong quite surprised, and His Majesty the Emperor couldn't make a decision for a while.

"Let's disperse first, and we'll discuss it tomorrow."

Coming out of the palace, the eyes of several ministers could not hide their joy.

It seems that I have been constipated for half a month, and it is unobstructed all of a sudden!

For many years, I have been suffering in Ye Hua's hands, and I have been bullied by that kid!

This time we finally moved back to a game, you want to start from the southeast, we have to come from the southwest, only the crazy people will think that merchants and pirates can be useful!

Obviously, Ye Hua is crazy!

They looked at each other, and waited until tomorrow, and they still spoke in unison, and it was better to contact several generals in the army and ask them to also write a letter against fighting in Jiangnan, so that it would be more convincing.

The ministers rushed back to the political hall in high spirits, as if they had won the battle.

As soon as they came in, they found Wei Xianmei, the judge of the Third Division, waiting here, Lao Wei glared at him and shouted in a low voice, "What are you doing here?" ”

Wei Xianmei was neither humble nor arrogant, and said indifferently: "Just now, the third division received a foreign order, which is enough for three million yuan, and the lower officials must report to the political hall for ruling." ”

"Foreign orders? Or three million? Where? ”

"Suzhou!"

The two words came out, what glasses, eyeballs, chin, all fell off...... Why is the old face a little feverish?
