"Daddy...... Lu Duan wants to meet you! Ye Xi gently rubbed his father's legs, and said softly in the most casual tone.

Ye Hua was silent and didn't answer for a long time, Ye Xi couldn't help but stop his hand, looked up, and found that his father was smiling and staring at him.

Ye Xi's heart moved, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

"You kid also learned to sue? Let's talk about it, what hurtful things did Kou Zhun do! ”

"That ......" Ye Xi had to muster up the courage to say: "He is in Tianzhu, granting the power of the ten major princely states and the monopoly of salt, and then using these ten major princely states to act as the main force for counterinsurgency!" ”

Tianzhu is a ghost place, it's frighteningly hot, the weather is hot, you sweat a lot, and you need more salt...... Tianzhu people actually don't have much need, a little bread, a plate of paste, you can eat a meal, provided that there must be enough salt!

Less, but there will be rebellion!

Kou Zhun started with salt, and the princely states who got the monopoly power of salt would of course try their best to raise the price of salt and make huge profits, and the armed forces, Kou Zhun provided them with weapons, and these people became Kou Zhun's thugs.

On the other hand, it has become illegal for other princely states to deal in salt...... Just imagine, how can a mere marriage cause a rebellion that lasts for two or three years!

"Father, Kou Zhun is reducing Ding!"

Ye Xi was shocked and said, "Ten million people died in the rebellion!" He can really do it, so he is not afraid that those unjust souls will seek his life? ”

This is the truth of Tianzhu's counterinsurgency, a salt war, a big war to reduce Ding! The controller behind the scenes is Kou Zhun!

"You've probably heard a saying...... Let the gods and demons fear the wicked! Ye Hua smiled and said: "If you can slaughter 10 million people, you can also be regarded as the best of the males!" ”

"Daddy!" Ye Xi changed color and said: "Kou Zhun is ruthless and resolute, let him take power, it's really terrifying!" ”

Ye Hua smiled: "So you want Lu Duan to come to me to complain?" Let me take Kou Zhun? Ye Hua shook his head, "Kou Zhun has already come, I told him, whether he can become the prime minister or not, depending on his ability, if you want to stop him, you should go to the parliament to think of ideas!" Filing a complaint is a child's trick, you can't win Kou Zhun like this! ”

Ye Hua's tone was very light, but his words were very heavy!

Ye Xi could only slip away and leave his father's study.

As soon as he left, Zhao Kuangyin came, and he went to Beijing to report on his work this time.

Ye Hua looked up and saw that Zhao Da had also aged a lot, his body was obviously fat, and his fat belly couldn't be hidden.

"How much did that kid give you? Let you help him speak! ”

Zhao Kuangyin honestly stretched out his slap and said with emotion: "Fifty percent of the shares!" Fifty percent of the shares of the entire Tianzhu salt company! It's worth about 50 million taels! Master Hou, you, a disciple, are really willing to do this! ”

Kou Zhun this guy is definitely a bad seed, he granted the power of ten salt franchises, and when a big war was over, both sides were exhausted, he jumped out and pretended to be a good person, forcing the ten major princely states to form a joint salt company, and grabbed half of the shares!

Although 10 million people died in Tianzhu, there were still nearly 20 million people, and the net profit of the salt industry every year was as much as several million taels...... No wonder Zhao Kuangyin's belly is so big, this guy is really fat, this belly is full of oil!

"That Hou Ye, I still listen to you, the military will support the eldest prince...... At least my people will! Zhao Da added.

Ye Hua snorted, "What did Ye Xi give you, and you will support him?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly stood up and said in fear: "The eldest prince is the son of the Hou Ye, just rush this point, I should support him, there will definitely be no two hearts!" ”

Ye Hua played with taste: "In other words, without my father, Ye Xi would be nothing?" Alright, you don't have to worry about me...... Since they are allowed to fight for themselves, it depends on their own ability, I don't mix, and you don't get involved. ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded hurriedly. secretly mourned for Ye Xi in his heart...... With such a Lao Tzu on the stall, the little guy is also quite unlucky, obviously the matter of being a father's word, he has to let the little guy fight for himself. Zhao Kuangyin knows how ruthless Kou Zhun is, even if Ye Hua was young, he may not be able to beat Kou Zhun.

If he is allowed to sit firmly in the position of prime minister, there will be a good show to watch in the future!

Zhao Kuangyin thought so, but he took people's money and eliminated disasters for others, at least he couldn't pull Kou Zhun's hind legs!

And Zhao Kuangyin found that Kou Zhun was full of confidence, but in his opinion, Kou Zhun did not have much chance...... He has shallow qualifications, he doesn't have many connections in the officialdom, and although he has some influence in the army, there is still a champion Hou's son, no matter what, it won't be his turn!

Zhao Da racked his brains, and he had no ideas, so he could only watch...... Finally, on the day of the official election, Ye Hua deliberately wore civilian clothes, came to the parliament early, and sat in the most marginal position. From now on, the power of the prime minister will be handed over, but who will become the new prime minister is still undecided.

In the small conference room, several powerful factions were competing fiercely...... First of all, Wei Xianmei, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, is already a very old official, who has been in charge of immigration, in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and has also worked in the Ministry of War, with strong strength and full confidence.

In second place is Ye Xi, he is the eldest son of the champion Hou, in addition to the military, there is also the support of workers' representatives, in addition, in terms of peasant representatives, there are also some advantages.

The third is Lu Duan, who is the preferred prime minister of businessmen.

Facing the three major competitors, Kou Zhun smiled at the big guy, "It stands to reason that I have the least qualifications and shouldn't have come to fight for this position, but I'm so strong, I'd rather fail than quit early!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Xianmei snorted, "Kou Zhun, you don't have to say something nice, since you don't want to refund, then see the real chapter in the number of votes!" ”

Wei Xianmei has repeatedly deduced with her father...... Although Ye Hua was the number one force in the dynasty, Lao Wei had been in business for many years and was in charge of the parliament, and the strength of their Wei family father and son should not be underestimated.

Especially Ye Hua didn't speak, the hearts of the people on his side were scattered, and Wei Xianmei was single-minded and prepared for a long time, and the odds of winning were very big!

What he was most afraid of was that Kou Zhun would suddenly retreat, and even Lu Duan would retreat, and it would become a head-to-head duel between him and Ye Xi, which would not be fun.

There are four people here, just fishing in troubled waters!

Kou Zhun's attitude made him very satisfied.

Lu Duan also gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, I also want to see how many catties and taels I have!" ”

Ye Xi just stiffened his face, and his attitude was also very resolute!

……

The final coordination was also broken, and the four of them rushed out of the small conference room and entered the hall.

The old Wei Renpu struck the hammer weakly.

"Let's start the prime minister's election, let's vote!"

The old man is too lazy to talk nonsense...... The voting began, Ye Hua and Li Shi, as the veteran prime ministers, resigned jointly this time, they lost their status as parliamentarians, so naturally they couldn't vote, and they just played the role of scrutineers.

Li Shi stared silently, and the parliament was mainly divided into six categories: officials, workers, businessmen, scholars, farmers, and the military. Among them, Wei Xianmei's advantage is in the officials, behind Lu Duan stand businessmen and scholars, as for Ye Xi, his advantage lies in the workers and peasants, and the key to victory lies in the attitude of the military.

This kid has to get involved, is there really any hope for him?

Li Shi looked at Ye Hua and wanted to find the answer from his face, but Ye Hua didn't wave, and he couldn't see the slightest ripple...... Li Xian subconsciously moved his buttocks, the speed of voting was very fast, and it didn't take long to open the votes.

Lu Duan, 203 votes; Kou Zhun, 520 votes; Ye Xi 1033 votes; Wei Xianmei, 1150 votes! ”

When this result came out, Lao Wei rubbed his eyes, how could it be?

The joke is big!

How could Lu Duan be so little?

Because according to the voting rules, if you have more than half of the votes, you will be directly elected, if you do not have a majority, you will be eliminated with less than half of the votes, and then the second round of voting will be carried out until the winner with more than half of the votes appears!

In other words, Lu Duan was eliminated in the first round!

Impossible, impossible!

How could a businessman give up on Lu Duan? What are academics doing?

Wei Renpu has been shrewd all his life, and he hasn't understood it!

Frankly speaking, he used a lot of effort to get Wei Xianmei to sit in the position of prime minister, he hoped to kill the most effective Kou Zhun first, and then take down Ye Xi, and finally form a duel between Wei Xianmei and Lu Duan...... In this way, the position of prime minister will only fall into the hands of the Wei family!

Although Lao Tzu never fought Ye Hua, his son won, and Lao Wei can rest assured.

Of course, in order to prevent Ye Hua from detecting and intervening, Wei Renpu's actions were very subtle, and as far as he knew, Ye Hua was indeed not involved.

But the question is, why was Lu Duan eliminated?

It's not scientific!

I didn't have time to think about it, the short negotiation started again, and when the door of the conference room opened, only two people walked out, Wei Xianmei and Kou Zhun!

The second highest vote in the first round, Ye Xi actually announced the election!

It was another bombshell, and countless people were stunned.

Voting began soon.

Wei Renpu's heart became heavier and heavier, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong, his son was going to be unlucky!

Sure enough, Kou Zhun got 1,680 votes, while Wei Xianmei only had a pitiful 1,226 votes!

Compared with the first round, Wei Xianmei only had more than 100 votes, while Kou Zhun had more than 1,000 votes!

What the fuck is going on?

In the end, he was old, and before Wei Xiang could clear his mind, Kou Zhun had already won the victory amid cheers, and this kid immediately sent out an invitation to appoint Ye Xi as the second minister and cooperate with him to form a cabinet...... Before the list of cabinet members was announced, Kou Zhun instigated an expulsion battle, taking advantage of the great victory in the parliament, pushing Lu Duan to the throne and squeezing Wei Renpu's position.

A few days later, Kou Zhun recommended Wei Xianmei to be the governor of the Great Food!

Almost overnight, the old Wei Xianggong lost the parliament, and the little Wei lost the ministry...... The father and son have become the biggest losers!

"Dad, I, I'm not convinced!" Wei Xianmei's eyes were red and said: "It's not that the child can't endure hardship, but the child is unwilling, and if he is not reconciled, he will be defeated!" ”

Lao Wei is really old, he doesn't have much hair, his cheeks are full of black spots, and he is lying there, like a corpse...... After a while, he finally opened his eyes slowly, and a wise light flashed in his cloudy old eyes!

"Don't you get it yet? Kou Zhun took down Lu Duan first! ”

"How so?"

Wei Xianmei was shocked, "Dad, Kou Zhun and Lu Duan are the biggest opponents, in the council, they are for tat enemies?" ”

Lao Wei smiled bitterly, "Yes, it's true that they are-for-tat, but the strength of the two of them is the weakest, if they don't cooperate, they will only be eliminated together!" ”

Wei Xianmei gradually had an idea, "Dad, do you mean that Lu Duan poured his ticket into Kou Zhun?" ”

"Wrong! It was poured into Ye Xi! ”

Lao Wei said helplessly: "Originally, I calculated to eliminate Kou Zhun first, although Lu Duan and Ye Xi are very close, but the businessmen and Shilin behind Lu Duan hate Ye Hua very much, so in this way, in the second round, you can give some votes to Lu Duan, and then eliminate Ye Xi...... That way, in the third round, you're sure to win...... However, Father Ke never imagined that they would do it in the first round! That's amazing! ”

Lao Wei gritted his teeth, lonely and depressed.

"Alas, my father is old in the end, and he is no match for young people!" Wei Renpu patted his son on the shoulder, "Don't be discouraged, your father can survive in a desperate situation, and you can too...... Remember, keep an eye on this Kou Zhun, his Tao is not shallow! Not under the Father...... In your father's life, he was first restrained by Ye Hua, and it was easy for him to retreat, and then there was another Kou Zhun! These two demons are really rare in the ages! ”

Wei Xianggong let out a desperate lament......
