Guo Xingge entered the palace, but he didn't see Chai Rong, but asked Zhao Pu to stop him.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shang, the saint has just taken the medicine and has fallen asleep, I can't bear to disturb the saint, so I can only ask the king of Shang to go to the side hall to rest and wait for His Majesty to wake up."

Brother Guo Xing frowned, looking very unpleasant. He doesn't have a good impression of Zhao Pu, especially recently, this guy has jumped up and down, as if he has the power of the court in his hands, what kind of thing is he!

His Majesty summoned him, and said that he had fallen asleep, and that he was gone!

Is there someone who is trying to get power and stop himself from entering, or is there someone who is falsely preaching the holy decree?

At this moment, Guo Xingge thought a lot...... Don't think that a person who can easily learn calculus is a fool, he just doesn't have his mind on the court. But in the current situation, even a fool can know that something is wrong. Brother Guo Xing wanted to have a seizure, but a few days ago, Ye Wu personally sent him a letter. Ye Hua wrote clearly in the letter, no matter what happens, he must be a wood carving clay sculpture, don't say a word, let alone do anything.

"Brother, don't hurt me!"

Brother Guo Xing muttered silently, and followed the little eunuch to the side hall.

The smile on Zhao Pu's face disappeared the moment Guo Xingge turned around, and was replaced by solemnity and coldness. The king of Shang has passed the age of twenty, and he has also started a family, and he has lost the opportunity for emotional investment, and those people want to restore the bloodline of the first emperor, but Zhao Pu has no interest at all.

He had a bigger plan in mind...... At present, there are three people who are qualified to impact the throne, the first is the crown prince, followed by His Royal Highness the King of Shang, the son of the first emperor, and then there is the strongest champion Hou Yehua!

Under Zhao Pu's hands, at least three forces were gathered, first of all, his mysterious ally, and an important financier, was the one who supported Guo Xingge.

Zhao Kuangyin and other military generals who had just been recruited hoped that Ye Hua would ascend the throne and become emperor, and the yellow robe would be added.

Among the civil officials, many people still adhere to the patriarchal law, and the prince is a well-deserved candidate.

But in Zhao Pu's opinion, these three people are not good choices.

Needless to say, Ye Hua is not good, and neither can Brother Guo Xing.

As for the prince, he is not too young, he has a lot of ideas, and it is difficult to control.

The ideal is to take advantage of this chaos and let all three of them out...... It's just that it's a big problem who to attack.

Among the three people, the easiest to deal with is Guo Xingge...... As long as the news is spread that someone wants to support him to ascend the throne, he can fake Chai Rong and abolish Guo Xingge.

But the problem is that the most important force in Zhao Pu's hands is the one who supports Guo Xingge, and if he gets rid of him first, his own power will collapse...... Since he is the easiest to deal with, it is better to put it last.

It's just that the remaining two people, how to deal with it, should they abolish the prince's position as the prince first, or get rid of Ye Hua?

Zhao Pu was undecided, and at this moment, the door suddenly rang, and Zhao Pu was startled. He hurriedly gathered his thoughts, went over to open the door, and found that it was Lao Wei standing outside.

Compared with before, Wei Renpu is much older, his white skin has turned dark red, and he has some age spots. He was bent over, his back stiff, and waited honestly outside.

Zhao Pu saw it and hurriedly saluted, "Xianggong Wei, it is reasonable to be late!" ”

Lao Wei hurriedly said, "Lord Shoufu is so courteous, so that the old man is grateful, and there is nothing to repay!" ”

As he spoke, Wei Renpu wiped his tears.

Zhao Pu was very surprised by Wei Renpu's appearance and invited him in, Old Wei was flattered, and when he stepped into the duty room, it was like a world away...... Xu is old, so he can't control his mouth, and Lao Wei chatters about his experience of leaving Beijing.

When you are powerful, you are good, but once you are down, the phoenix is not as good as a chicken!

Old Wei asked himself, he was not bad to his hometown, he gave them tax exemptions and exemptions, and allocated funds to pave roads and bridges, but when his hometown people heard that he was exempted from official duties and returned to his hometown, they all looked at him from the corner of their eyes.

The dignified prime minister, he actually had to grow and eat by himself, but fortunately there were two old servants with him, otherwise Wei Renpu would be hungry!

"Lord Yuanfu, the old man can return to the capital, it all depends on the work of Yuan Fu, the old man has a place to be sorry for Yuan Fu in the past, and I hope that Lord Yuan Fu has a lot, don't care about the old man, the old man will make amends to you!"

Saying that, Wei Renpu actually wanted to bow down and kowtow.

Zhao Pu hurriedly helped, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his heart was about to bloom, this old man actually bowed his head to himself! I, Zhao Pu, have been waiting for this day!

In the past, Wei Renpu was so arrogant and domineering, relying on the old ministers of the two dynasties and rampaging the cabinet, where would he look at their juniors.

Time has passed, the era of Lao Wei is over, only after suffering below, do you know the taste of power, lose power, you are a bad old man that no one can look down on, with power, you are a bachelor under one person!

So what to lose, don't lose power!

Zhao Pu was almost sure that Wei Renpu had completely conceded defeat, and he was now an old dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy, waiting for himself to throw a few bones to satisfy his stomach!

"Xianggong Wei, Shoufu is still Xianggong Wang, don't recognize the wrong person!"

Wei Renpu hurriedly said: "Wang Pu is past the sixtieth year, and he may not be able to live past me!" What's more, he married Ye Hua, committed the taboo of the Son of Heaven, I heard that he went to repair Jiyang, and sooner or later he was not Zhao Xianggong's, and the old man still had to rely on Zhao Xianggong for protection. ”

"Hahaha, Wei Xianggong is polite, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. Later students also want to listen to Wei Xianggong's guidance sooner or later. Zhao Pu reluctantly said two kind words, listening to it in his ears, there was only hypocrisy and hypocrisy, but Wei Renpu was grateful and was about to cry again.

Zhao Pu pondered for a long time and said with a smile: "Wei Xianggong, you just mentioned the marriage between Wang Pu and Ye Hua, I don't know what you think of these two people?" ”

Wei Renpu hesitated slightly, and hurriedly said: "It stands to reason that people who are rotten wood should not talk nonsense, but Yuan Fu asked, only know everything and say everything." Wang Pu can only work, he doesn't understand the overall situation, and it's not a big deal. It's Ye Hua, he's only over thirty now! How many people are still studying for the imperial examination at this age, but he is already an important minister of the two dynasties, tsk, it's really amazing! ”

Wei Renpu said this, but his expression was full of poison, and his downfall had a deep relationship with Ye Hua...... Over the years, Lao Wei has often opposed Ye Hua, but at that time, Zhao Pu was still Ye Hua's horse, and now his identity has changed, and things in the world are so interesting!

Zhao Pu still values Wei Renpu's talent very much, so he relied on him to force Guo Wei to fight back and enter Kaifeng, which shows the strength of Lao Wei.

When changing the dynasty, we still have to rely on the wisdom of the old-timers.

Zhao Pu wanted to say, but he couldn't help it, he still had to observe and determine if Wei Renpu was really reliable!

In the following days, the crown prince and the two princes, as well as the cabinet princes, took turns to serve the sick...... Chai Rong's condition is getting worse day by day, the edema has spread to both legs, no one can help him, and it is difficult to even walk.

Chai Rong's thirst-quenching disease is menacing, but His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know how to control his diet, and he frequently takes magical pills, in recent days, his two eyes have been hazy and difficult to see.

Lost his eyesight, the true dragon Tianzi became a blind waste, Chai Rong's irritable temper completely exploded, scolding people every day, anyone will be reprimanded, and often scolded the eunuchs and palace maids, so that everyone in the palace was in danger.

By now, even fools can see that His Majesty is really about to die, and he is not far from death.

On the days of illness, Lao Wei sighed frequently, looking worried.

Finally, on this day, he took the initiative to see Zhao Pu.

"Yuanfu, the saint's illness is so serious, not long after, the crown prince will succeed to the throne, I am afraid that the champion Hou will become the elder of the three dynasties!"

Zhao Pu didn't expect Lao Wei to take the initiative to mention it, he still had to pretend, "Xianggong Wei, Your Majesty dreamed some time ago that the person of fire virtue would replace the Great Zhou Jiangshan, so he was suspicious...... I think even if the crown prince succeeds to the throne, he will be wary of this fiery man! ”

Wei Renpu waved his hand again and again, "Yuan Fu is wrong to think so, the old man knows that although Empress Fu's death has something to do with Ye Hua, the prince does not hate Ye Hua because of this, on the contrary, he relies on this master more...... As long as the crown prince succeeds to the throne, he will definitely reuse Ye Hua, and he also holds the title of scholar of Jixian Palace, and when the time comes, he will enter the cabinet, and no one can stop him! ”

Zhao Pu frowned, "Xianggong Wei, since this is the case, what can you do?" ”

Wei Renpu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The old man is really powerless, if Ye Hua becomes the first assistant, I think of a person like the old man, I am afraid that there will be no chance to gain a foothold in the court." ”

Wei Renpu is happy and desolate, just like a white-headed palace maid, without power and power, what can he do?

Zhao Pu looked at Wei Renpu carefully, and after a long time, he suddenly said faintly: "Wei Xianggong, what if you get rid of Ye Hua first!" ”

Wei Renpu's eyes widened instantly, and his cloudy pupils became clear.

"What? Get rid of him? How to get rid of it? ”

Zhao Pu suddenly took out a holy decree from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Renpu, "This is Your Majesty's secret decree, let me get rid of Ye Hua, old minister, what do you think I should do?" ”

Wei Renpu trembled, looked at the will carefully, and was overjoyed and worried.

"Yuanfu, with this will, most of Ye Hua's life will be gone, but without further ado, don't miss the opportunity!"

Zhao Pu asked in surprise: "Wei Xianggong, do you think you want to do it immediately?" ”

"Yuanfu, do you think Ye Hua has no eyes and ears in the palace? Without further ado, it will change! ”

Zhao Pu held the holy decree and thought for a while, "Then I will send someone to pass the decree now, in the name of announcing the edict, invite Ye Hua to enter the palace, and then get rid of him in Xuande Gate!" ”

"Wonderful!" Lao Wei gave a thumbs up, "Clean and neat, what should I do!" ”

Zhao Pu thought about it for a while, and said in a heart: "I'll let Shen Yilun go and announce the decree...... It's just that Ye Hua was eliminated, but the earth-shattering event will inevitably lead to turmoil in the court, and people's hearts will be panicked, Wei Xianggong will stabilize people's hearts for me! ”

Wei Renpu was dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "Yuanfu has a life, and the old man dares not to obey...... It's just that the old man thinks that people go to tea and cool, and the world is better than that, when Ye Hua dies, his minions and henchmen will change their courts, Yuan Fu don't have to worry! ”
