Ye Hua narrowed his eyes, and the light that shot out of his long and narrow eyes fell on the shadow wall where his son disappeared, and he suddenly said faintly: "Brother Yang, do you think he can still succeed?" ”

"This ......" Yang Ye paused, did not nod directly, this is the value of Yang Ye, never believe it, "Master Hou, everyone needs to exercise, no one is born a famous general...... The eldest prince is talented and intelligent, and with the mention of Hou Ye, I hope that it won't be long before he can stand out among young people and become the second champion Hou! ”

Ye Hua shook his head again and again, "Brother Yang, I think your words are wrong!" ”

"Oh? Does Master Hou think that the eldest prince still has any shortcomings? ”

Ye Hua still shook his head, which made Yang Ye puzzled, isn't your son quite good? Why still not?

"Brother Yang, what do you think of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang?" Ye Hua asked suddenly.

Yang Ye smiled bitterly, "Master Hou, I don't read much, where can I judge the ancients!" However, as far as I know, the overlord of Chu is brave and good at fighting, born in a famous family, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and is a young hero, although he failed in Wujiang, there are many people who have admired Xiang Yu in the past dynasties, as for Han Gaozu? It seems to have a mixed reputation! ”

Ye Hua patted Yang Ye on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Your evaluation is quite kind, even if Liu Bang ascends the throne and becomes the emperor and establishes the Han Dynasty, he is still an old rascal!" It's no wonder that Xiang Yu is good at everything, Liu Bang can't do anything, why did the country fall into Liu Bang's hands, but Xiang Yu could only kill himself? ”

Yang Ye's eyebrows gathered together and formed a mountain peak, this question is really difficult to answer, could it be that in the dark, there are really days that can't be done?

Seeing that Yang Ye was at a loss, Ye Hua smiled and said, "Brother Yang, if you can think about this problem clearly, you will understand why I don't worry about Ye Xi." ”

Yang Ye took a sharp breath, he hadn't figured out Liu Bang Xiang Yu's question yet, but he understood what Ye Hua meant, "Master Hou, yes, are you afraid that the eldest prince will be like Xiang Yu?" ”

Ye Hua didn't deny it, but let out a long sigh, looking worried.

Since he took over as prime minister, it has been seven years, Guo Zongxun has been married, and the children are running all over the place.

In the government and the opposition, there are opinions on returning the political emperor, of course, Guo Zongxun does not have the courage to seize the power of his father-in-law, and he does not have the mind...... Things in the world are so complicated, except for Ye Hua, no one will settle down, this is the reason that the first emperor Chai Rong has known for a long time, how can Guo Zongxun not know.

On the contrary, he also hoped that Ye Hua would worry more about snacks and share more for him.

"Up and down the government and the opposition, alternating between the old and the new, this is inevitable! No one can sit in that position for too long, or three or five years, or ten or eight years, and the power will be handed over to the next generation! ”

"Don't!"

Yang Ye stood up in shock, this dignified general actually looked cramped and uneasy.

"Master Hou, if you want me to say that in this world, except for Master Hou, no one can take the helm for Da Zhou...... The Son of Heaven respects the Hou Ye, and we people are convinced of the Hou Ye, but those literati are afraid of the Hou Ye...... If Hou Ye is a master, I really don't know what it will be like. Yang Ye paused, "If Master Hou really has a heart, then he should also arrange a good candidate." I, I think the eldest prince is a very good candidate! ”

Ye Hua waved his hand, "You, what did we just say, that kid may not be qualified!" ”

Yang Ye said with a smile: "Even if the eldest prince is worse than the Hou Ye, but with the Hou Ye here, the eldest prince is enough to take on the heavy responsibility!" ”

"No, no!"

Ye Hua stubbornly shook his head, "Brother Yang, if you tell me something from your heart, can my descendants get the sincere support of the generals in the army?" ”

Yang Ye's face turned red, how dare he answer this question! Ye Hua also sensed that something was wrong, so he smiled and said, "I don't mean that the yellow robe is added, but I want him to lead the group and hold up a piece of the sky, do you think it's appropriate?" ”

"I'm really asking for advice, others may not tell me the truth, I hope you Yang Wushu tell the truth!" Ye Hua added.

Yang Ye was entangled for a long time, since Ye Hua asked so bluntly, it was not easy for him to hide it.

"Master Hou, how much have you done over the years? Even if you don't have any official position, you still have a response. Emperor Taizu and Emperor Sejong came to the battlefield in person, and naturally there was no problem with the rivers and mountains that were defeated. And today, I am afraid that there is no prestige of the first emperor. From this point of view, if the eldest prince only relies on the identity of the son of the Hou Ye, I am afraid it is not enough. But he can exercise, as long as he makes more contributions and shows his talents, he doesn't have to worry about not being like Hou Ye! ”

Ye Hua sighed, "What you said earlier is indeed true, but Ye Xi is my son, let him do things and go through training, there are too many people who hold stinky feet, can he really get experience?" I don't think so! ”

"Of course, I didn't kill him with a stick, the opportunity was given, if he had the ability to surpass me, he could naturally play, if not, we should also make plans early!"

We!

These two words carry a lot of weight!

Even with Zhao Kuangyin, Ye Hua didn't use these two words.

Yang Ye is a native of Linzhou, and it is because of Ye Hua that the Yang family belongs to the Great Zhou, from this point of view, Ye Hua has the deepest relationship with the Yang family!

It was Ye Hua who commanded the destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty and the recovery of Linzhou, and from that moment on, the Yang family obeyed Ye Hua's orders.

Ye Hua, this guy has always been cunning, and he has a lot of back-hands, and he left Yang Ye in the Western Regions, just in case. After all these years of ups and downs, Ye Hua survived and did not use the Yang family.

But in the next matter, Ye Hua couldn't help but rely on the Yang family.

"Brother Yang, a strong country must have a strong core...... This core has to be a team, not a single person! This is also the reason why I denied Ye Xi. Since the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the core of maintaining the country is the Confucian gentry and landlord group! Of course, during this period, it has also experienced the evolution from a family to a humble family, but the core is still the same. If there was no such Confucian gentry group, China would have been torn apart long ago by virtue of an emperor alone. ”

Ye Hua didn't talk nonsense, the emperor was just one person, and only a few wise and martial founding monarchs could maintain a huge empire on their own. Once it reaches the hands of the mediocre Son of Heaven, the country will decline.

Without the core group to sustain it, it would be torn apart in an instant.

This is true of the Huns, this is true of the Turks, this is true of the Khitans, and the same is true of the Alexander Empire.

Throughout ancient and modern times, there are only a few groups that can constitute the core of a country...... One is the Confucian literati group, the second is the aristocratic group, the third is the religious group, the fourth is the commercial and financial group, and as for the fifth, it is the military group!

Needless to say, the aristocratic and religious groups were defeated by Confucianism, and it turned out that they could not survive in the lands of the Central Plains either.

The first three were not within Ye Hua's consideration.

It stands to reason that in the industrial age, it is reasonable to hand over to the industrial, commercial and financial group...... But Ye Hua knows the virtues of these guys, once they are allowed to do whatever they want, then the common people will be miserable.

Come to think of it, the last one seems to be a good choice.

Of course, the military group envisioned by Ye Hua is not the kind of feudal town, but a kind of officer corps similar to Prussia!

That's right!

That's it!

The Germans are brave and good at fighting, full of resilience, and completely invincible...... The Prussian officer corps is where the bones of this little strong man lie!

Unlike other countries, which had a state and then an army, Prussia was a country founded by a group of Teutonic knights, and gradually grew and grew, unified Germany, and became a force that determined the fate of Germany and even Europe.

Although the officer corps was born into the nobility, it was only an honorary title and had little to do with the wealth of the land...... The members of these officer corps, who have received a rigorous military education and have a wealth of practical combat experience, are rigorous, resolute, and powerful, and can be called the sword of the empire! Even the enemy was jealous of the officer corps and tried everything to destroy them, even cutting off the lands of East Prussia from Germany in order to completely destroy the foundations of the officer corps......

Ye Hua is not a "moral stick", but he is full of interest in the officer corps, if he can establish a strong and resolute officer corps, externally, he can maintain a huge territory, and internally he can prevent the civil officials from becoming bigger and suppress the merchant group, and at the same time, it is also a kind of constraint on the emperor...... All in all, the gun is not messy, and any mess can be suppressed!

Not many people knew Ye Hua's thoughts, and even Fu San didn't know it.

Yang Ye, Chen Shi, plus Ye Zhong and Ye Xiao, are more or less aware of it.

And Yang Ye is in the Western Regions, so he is responsible for carrying out this matter!

As the place with the most complex geographical environment, the largest number of various tribes, and the daily occurrence of battles, the Western Regions is the best place for martial artists to test.

In the past ten years, the soldiers who learned the martial arts of the Great Zhou Dynasty basically had to go to the Western Regions for training, and only with outstanding performance could they be reused.

Yang Ye, who guards the Western Regions, is the president of Wufu Practice University!

He assigned tasks to those experienced rookies, and scored their performance...... "Master Hou, in the past, the door was passed on, father and son successively, and later Master Hou added martial arts, taught soldiers to read and write, and really cultivated some talents." But the real celebrity will be played, and the bloodless martial artist will always be a rookie! ”

When Yang Ye said this, he was full of domineering, not to mention that he was equipped with firearms, the bravery of the soldiers and the wisdom of the generals still played an indispensable role.

"Master Hou, if the equipment situation is similar and the supplies are similar, I can defeat two soldiers from the Central Plains with a soldier from the Western Regions, and the officers who go out from the Western Regions are much more fierce than those guys!"

Ye Hua said with a smile: "I am confident in terms of combat power, but I can't just fight and rush, I also have to have brains!" ”

Yang Ye smiled, "Hou Ye said this, I just wanted to introduce someone to Hou Ye!" ”

"Who?"

"Kou Zhun!"

"Kou Zhun?" Ye Hua was a little dumbfounded, and Yang Ye also frowned, "Master Hou, have you heard of it?" ”

Ye Hua shook his head and smiled helplessly: "You better talk about him first, what good things did you do?" Worth recommending to me? ”

"Master Hou, this surnamed Kou can not only fight, but also have brains, some time ago, he led people to sneak into the territory of the Samanid Empire and took off the head of Emperor Iben!" Yang Ye said excitedly.
