Chai Rong took the magic medicine paid tribute by the eunuch for three days in a row, and his spirit was much better than before, and the swelling on his legs seemed to have subsided...... It's just that His Majesty the Emperor sleeps less and less, so that he often gets up in the middle of the night with his clothes on, keeps pacing on the ground, and sometimes stays next to the bookcase, contemplating and meditating, or lifting a pen.

However, after Chai Rong finished writing, he would tear the paper to shreds, throw it into the furnace, and turn it into ashes. It's just that this day was in a hurry, it was not completely burned clean, leaving a corner, and when the eunuch was cleaning, he saw two words that were only half left, he looked at it for a long time, and finally recognized it, it should be "Ye Hua"!

Sure enough, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is just an illusion, and when His Majesty is sick and loses his self-confidence, he will be suspicious of his first minister.

Ye Hua, you're done!

The eunuch quietly withdrew from the palace and secretly placed a wax pill on the wall, which was soon taken away. As soon as he returned, he found the little eunuch coming to call him.

"Senior brother, hurry up, the saint is looking for you!"

The eunuch hurriedly ran in and found that Chai Rong's face was pale, and he was angrily questioning, "What about the medicine, what about my magic medicine?" Bring it to me! ”

The eunuch hurriedly knelt down and climbed a few steps, and with a smile, he took out a small crystal box from his sleeve, which contained a red and bright pill.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is specially found by the slave maid for Your Majesty, it is more miraculous than the previous yellow pill, and ordinary people can't eat it!"

Chai Rong ignored his nonsense, snatched the pill with his hand, and hurriedly stuffed one into his mouth. That anxious look is like a beggar meeting food. Xu felt that it was indecent to eat, Chai Rong was so angry that he flew up and kicked the eunuch out of the way.

"Damn slave, don't get out yet!"

The eunuch grinned in pain, but he smiled in his heart, what kind of male lord Mingjun is! It's not that he was pinched in his hand by a rootless person, holding some big cloves of garlic!

Thinking so in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, he crawled out of the palace and hurried to deliver the news. The eunuch didn't notice that after Chai Rong took the medicine, he hurriedly turned around, spit out the pill into the palm of his hand again, and wrapped it in rice paper. When the embroidered messenger came to deliver the letter, Chai Rong gave the paper wrapped in the pill to the embroidered messenger and took it out of the palace......

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the leaders of the Jurchen tribes, the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom, all came to Youzhou.

Chai Rong was in high spirits, riding a royal horse, letting all the envoys appreciate the demeanor of the Great Zhou soldiers and demonstrating the firearms tactics, and suddenly frightened these people to kowtow to the ground, His Majesty the Emperor was overjoyed, announced a rich reward, and let them return to Beijing with the holy car, and open their eyes again in Kaifeng.

In this way, Chai Rong commanded an army of 100,000 people, surrounded by countless people, all the way back to the capital.

Their pace was very slow, and it took a month to return to Kaifeng.

In Beijing Wenwu, headed by Ye Hua and Li Shi, the welcome ceremony was extraordinarily huge.

The crown prince Guo Zongxun led the horse for his father and welcomed his father back to the palace.

After Chai Rong returned to Beijing, he first summoned Ye Hua.

"I have been absent from Beijing for nearly a year, and I am very relieved to raise military supplies and reduce the generals...... Some time ago, I saw a note from Qing, saying that I was busy with affairs and needed help...... I am going to promote a few cabinet members, what does Ye Qing think? ”

Ye Hua hurriedly said: "The ministers are already overstretched, and they can select talented people to work in the cabinet, and the ministers can't ask for them." ”

"That's good!"

Chai Rong said decisively: "Tianguan Zhao Pu has been cautious and old for many years, and he is worthy of a great responsibility. Shen Yilun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is outstanding in learning, familiar with the rules and regulations, and Lu Duoxun, although this person is a little impatient, but whether it is immigration or preparing for military supplies, he has a lot of merit, just let the three of them enter the cabinet, what does Ye Qing think? ”

His Majesty the Emperor nodded, what else could Ye Hua say, "The sage has a good eye for talents, with the assistance of these three people, the Haiyan River will be clear, and the world will be fine!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Chai Rong laughed loudly, "I am fighting in the south and in the north, and the one I ask for is that the world is peaceful and peaceful, Ye Qing really knows my heart very well!" ”

The monarch and the ministers talked for a while, and Ye Hua came out of the palace.

The next day, Chai Rong called the three new cabinet members into the palace.

It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with it, but the problem is that Chai Rong talked to them for two hours in one breath, twice as much as Ye Hua...... After the three of them left the palace, the holy decree came down immediately, not only let the three people enter the cabinet, but also assigned tasks, Zhao Pu assisted Wang Pu, dealt with the overall situation, and was also in charge of the follow-up matters of disarmament, Shen Yilun and Li Shi were in charge of the major affairs of education, and Lu Duoxun was responsible for finance and taxation.

Getting this result, Li Xi was stupid.

New cabinet members have to study for a period of time, adapt to the position, and sit on the bench before they can be delegated.

Now that he has just entered the cabinet, he has been given great power, and the three new people who have entered the cabinet just correspond to the three old men Wang Pu, Li Shi, and Ye Hua, what does Your Majesty mean by this?

"Senior brother, is it time for me to return to my hometown?

Li Xi is still one year old and not confused, and when he says this, he is obviously complaining.

Ye Hua shrugged his shoulders, "Anyway, I don't want to be tired, it's best to go home and enjoy happiness." ”

Li Xiancai didn't believe Ye Hua's words, "I said junior brother, are you really confused, or fake confused, the knife has been pressed on your neck, and now when you go home, I'm afraid that you won't enjoy happiness, but wait for death!" Sit back and wait! "Li Xian is eerie, like an old ghost with grinning teeth...... Ye Hua was still indifferent.

"You're done?"

"That's it!"

"Okay, I'm going to pick up San'er from school."

Ye Hua didn't stay in the cabinet, he just asked the scribe to settle with Zhao Pu, and the two of them didn't meet each other...... Li Xi gritted his teeth, he has known Ye Hua for almost ten years, according to Li Shi's observation, Ye Hua has always been in a lower position, and when he is at a disadvantage, he will burst out with extraordinary combat effectiveness, all kinds of means, and full of wisdom.

Once he reaches the top position, Ye Hua will gather his edge and give credit to others, including him, who was brought into the cabinet by Ye Hua and became addicted to being a scholar!

"You little guy is bad!" Li Xian snorted: "You pretend to be dead, I also pretend to be dead, I don't believe it, with a knife and axe, you can be indifferent!" ”

Thinking of this, Li Shi simply followed Ye Hua's example, and after settling with Shen Yilun, he took sick leave and went home to pick up the child.

In an instant, the situation changed abruptly.

Wang Pu is still Chai Rong's most trusted minister, but he is alone, and the three cabinet members join hands and share most of Wang Pu's power at once.

Zhao Pu took over Ye Hua's disarmament task, if Ye Hua was quite gentle before, and tried his best to arrange the soldiers who were laid off, when he came to Zhao Pu, it would be completely unreasonable, often a whole battalion, several battalions, regardless of the good and the bad, cut down together.

With the stroke of a pen, many people lost their livelihoods.

Although you can get half a year's military salary from the Du branch, as a severance expense, it is also a drop in the bucket, and the army is full of complaints.

Including Zhao Kuangyin and others, they all pinned their hopes on Ye Hua, hoping that he could come forward and fight for justice for everyone. But the gate of the Hou Mansion was closed, and no one could see Ye Hua's face.

At present, there are continuous rumors in the capital, saying that His Majesty unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, forcing the champion Hou to dismiss the people, and now let the infamy of disarmament be carried by Hou Ye alone, and eighty percent will abolish Hou Ye's military power...... Some people also say that since ancient times, the champion Hou has not had a good end, the birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, it seems that the Hou Ye can't escape this catastrophe.

Being in the whirlpool, Ye Hua was more relaxed and leisurely than anyone else, he was just doing one thing, and that was to figure out what the hell that little red pill was!

"Master Hou, my subordinates have found out that the pill dedicated to His Majesty is extremely similar to the pill dedicated to Wang Pu and Wang Xianggong, if there is any difference, it is His Majesty's medicine, which is even more ferocious!" Yang You bowed down and said, his single eye flashing with anger.

Crazy, someone actually used the medicine of the tiger and wolf to assassinate the Son of Heaven! Do you still have a conscience?

What makes Yang You even more unbelievable is that as the Son of Heaven, he is supreme, and he is so fragile, if he doesn't have a reliable confidant, he doesn't even know how he died.

It's no wonder that throughout the ages, how many emperors have died in vain, and when it comes to it, it makes people shudder!

"Master Hou, do you want to check the source of the medicine next?"

Ye Hua shook his head, "Even if you investigate, you won't be able to find the real murderer...... The worst thing about the current situation is that you have me, I have you, Your Majesty is holding the Heavenly Sword, and I don't know who to cut! ”

Yang Youfu was heartfelt, and hurriedly said: "Hou Ye, could it be that this is the reason why His Majesty wants to promote those three people and idle Hou Ye?" ”

Ye Hua did not deny it, but said with a smile: "If you are going to fight, you must always be able to distinguish between the enemy and me." ”

After being silent for a while, Ye Hua said again: "How are those retired soldiers settled?" ”

"Don't worry, Master Hou, Zhao Pu's grandson is shameless, but there are a lot of us below, and we can't be wronged." Yang You said: "Master Hou's move is powerful, he is clearly disarming, and secretly spreads our people all over all states and counties. “

Boom!

Ye Hua punched Yang You hard.

"What nonsense, I hope they can stabilize the place, this time it is destined to be a life-and-death battle, and the cancer hidden in the court must be removed! I can only do my best and don't hurt Da Zhou too much! ”

Ye Hua stopped talking, Yang You slowly withdrew, he also walked the tunnel, and he went out from the Shang Wang's Mansion, no one could notice.

A few days later, it has been a month since Zhao Pu and others entered the cabinet, and they are very skilled in all government affairs.

Zhao Pu presented Chai Rongjin with the latest progress of disarmament.

"Qi Sheng, the forbidden army in Beijing, the box army in various places, have been abolished, only the 100,000 troops who have returned, and they don't know how to deal with it, please show your majesty!"

Chai Rong thought for a while and said, "Firearms can't be removed, and the rest of the people and horses must be rewarded!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Zhao Pu bowed his body and said, "Sage, is it possible to mix these horses with the forbidden army, retrain them, and fully equip them with firearms?" ”

"Yes!" Chai Rong said in a deep voice.

Zhao Pu stepped forward again, "Your Majesty, the soldiers have been abolished, what should the generals do?" Will it also be abolished? “
