Chapter 438: The Situation Begins to Change
Ye Chen sent Wang Yun away, people were still confused, and he welcomed Mr. Lin into the office again. lā
"See the lord."
"Well, sit down."
The two sat down, since there were no outsiders at this time, of course it was Ye Chen who was the master.
"Lord, according to your orders, our people have begun to act quietly, but in some places, the strength of our Ye family is really weak, and there is even almost no strength of the Ye family, which is very difficult to transport the money out." Mr. Lin said.
"I know it's very difficult, but if we have a few major states today, although our Ye family has no strength locally, our fleet along the Yellow River and the Yangtze River has been able to reach it. When the time comes, under the guise of trade, try to ship it out. ”
"Yes, my lord. So what should the surrounding areas of Luoyang do? ”
Ye Chen took a deep breath, the situation in Luoyang now made him a little confused, and it was very difficult to deal with it, and the forces of all parties were fighting each other, it was too complicated.
"Alas, there can't be much movement in the Luoyang area for the time being, the ants are moving, let's come little by little." Ye Chen sighed and said.
The two of them conspired in the private room for a long time, and sorted out the plan well, and finally Mr. Lin said with a smile: "Lord, can you give me some tea." ”
"Haha, take it, I'll ask someone to send you a few catties later."
"Hehe, lord, I'm not all for myself, as soon as your tea tasting conference opens, this tea will become the object of the pursuit of the powerful, and when the time comes, when I meet guests, I will put this tea on the table, and things will be much easier." Mr. Lin laughed embarrassedly.
Ye Chen waved his hand to let him go, he knew the effect of this tea, others didn't know, and thought he got it from the emperor, Ye Chen said at the tea tasting meeting, this tea is scarce, and most of it has been sent to the palace as a tribute.
It's not easy to buy outside, so the tea of Mr. Lin's office is obtained from the palace, and most people will think like this, and then Mr. Lin's office will become more and more mysterious, and there are many conveniences when doing things.
After the tea tasting conference, many people knew about the Ye family's new tea, but most of them only heard its name, but did not see its shape, of course, among some powerful people, it can still be seen occasionally.
The Ye family sells tea very simply, taking the high-end route, non-powerful people can't get it, even if it's powerful, they can only get it after reaching a certain height, which makes the price of tea double, but this tea itself is very expensive, when there is no new tea of the Ye family, the previous tea cakes are also very expensive, and only the palace and some powerful people can afford it.
Ye Chen sold tea and made a lot of profits, not only the tea was expensive, but even the tea set had to be sold several times.
After the tea tasting conference, in addition to the big sales of tea and the rolling of money, Ye Chen became more and more low-key, trying not to get involved in right and wrong.
And Wang Yun's invitation was forgotten by Ye Chen, recently he has been spending more and more time in the barracks, after training every day, he learns from Xu Huang, Xu Huang is worthy of being a top famous general, except for not having been baptized on the battlefield, he is very powerful in all other aspects.
In this way, the time advanced to the end of 187, when the emperor Liu Hong had changed from a serious illness to a critical illness, and the news of the emperor fainting often came from the palace.
Every time news comes out, it will affect the nerves of many people, but Ye Chen is relatively calm, because he knows that the emperor still has a few months to live.
However, this unusual aura also spread to the military camp, in addition to Ye Chen, including Cao Cao was involved, and they often went to He Jin's house to gather to discuss the situation.
Many people understand that as long as Liu Hong dies, then there will be a dragon fight.
Liu Hong's condition not only affected the situation in Luoyang, but other places were also greatly affected, Ye Chen received news the day before yesterday that Dong Zhuo was going to buy weapons again.
You must know that Dong Zhuo has not had a big war in the past two years, and there has been no big order except for the purchase of some weapons for daily consumption.
Before, Dong Zhuo refused the imperial court to let him enter Luoyang as an official, so the imperial court sent tens of thousands of troops to prepare to recruit him, but the strength of the imperial court was insufficient, and in the end he could only confront him with Chen Bing to guard against him.
Ye Chen wondered, Dong Zhuojin hadn't had any big wars in two years, so why did he buy weapons on a large scale?
Sell, of course, sold to him, if you have money, you can make it first, but Ye Chen collected the money first, and then only one-third of the goods were sent, the reason is very simple, the previous year had been in Liaodong with the Xiongnu and Xianbei war, suffered heavy losses, and did not recover, and this year, busy recovering, did not build weapons.
Ye Chen did this just to test Dong Zhuo's reaction, and after answering like this, Dong Zhuo expressed his understanding and did not urge, so Ye Chen judged that they were more just to prepare, and did not have the intention of entering Luoyang.
Also, in history, until He Jin summoned him to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was not ready, and the vanguard was only 3,000 people.
On this day, Ye Chen competed with Xu Huang on the school field, the two went back and forth, the fight was fierce, and the soldiers next to him shouted and cheered together, so it was not lively.
This situation is often staged in the barracks, and Ye Chen also likes this atmosphere very much, which can greatly mobilize the soldiers to train and stimulate morale.
However, this time it had to be stopped halfway through the process, because the palace was over.
The person who came was not sent by Zhang Rang, but the queen.
"Then what are you looking for me again?" Ye Chen was puzzled along the way, afraid that he would be yin again.
Since Ye Chen gave the queen to Qiang X, the two sides still maintained a superficial relationship, and the queen still sent people to give gifts and condolences from time to time, but she didn't summon Ye Chen again, and this time she suddenly summoned him, which made him very puzzled.
Entering the palace, this time the queen didn't care whether she avoided suspicion or not, and after letting Ye Chen enter the palace, she sent everyone else out, and then closed the palace door.
Ye Chen looked at Empress He with a smile, and Empress He couldn't help but remember that the last time she was tossed by Ye Chen in this palace for more than an hour, the whole person almost collapsed.
Thinking of this, she blushed and avoided Ye Chen's gaze.
"Ye Chen, I won't hide the purpose of summoning you here this time. I'm afraid the emperor doesn't have much time left, so I think you should understand that Bian'er is the eldest son and the best candidate to inherit the throne, so I think you should understand your own position. The queen said.
Ye Chen slandered in his heart, Liu Wei did inherit the throne in history, which shows that in the end, the emperor still did not fight He Jin, and from the fact that so many people in the eight captains of the West Garden were so close to He Jin, they knew that the emperor's move had failed.
But now it's different, Zhang Rang in the palace has 3,000 forbidden troops, Jian Shuo has 3,000 soldiers and horses outside, plus the soldiers and horses in Ye Chen's hands, in Luoyang, He Jin's advantage is not obvious, and it is not as good as history, so if the emperor insists on establishing Liu Xie when he is alive, it is possible to succeed.
