Dugu Ming slowly raised the small porcelain cup in front of him, slowly drank a cup of tea, closed his eyes, and savored the aftertaste of the tea.

Glass is no longer as expensive as in previous years, although the price is still slightly higher than porcelain of the same grade, but some wealthy families have begun to "retro" again, replacing glass with porcelain and pottery. Naturally, this is also inseparable from the innovation and progress of porcelain and pottery skills, Ye Chang has repeatedly said that any industry, if you don't want to innovate and progress, then it is a dead end, the difference is to die faster and die slower.

But as long as we innovate and find a way to live, even the most old things can glow with new charm.

"Why don't you speak, don't you speak?" Yuan Highway is a little anxious.

Yuan Highway has been a doctor of imperial history for nearly ten years, and the officials in the court are basically under his control, but his ability is limited, so it is difficult to take on great responsibilities, after Dugu Ming and Ye Chang formally formed an alliance, Dugu Ming became the main decision-maker and executor of Ye Chang's family in the imperial court, and he retreated to the second place.

Coupled with Liu Yan and others, although Ye Chang did not interfere in the court like Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, his influence in the court is undoubtedly the first.

"Yuan Gong is a little anxious, this matter is in a hurry, I can't ...... it"

"Don't be in a hurry, it's obviously not right now, the first emperor is seriously ill but he doesn't call Ye Gong back to Beijing, he doesn't call Ye Gong back to Beijing when he ascends the throne, if we don't insist, even if the first emperor is buried, Ye Gong will not be called back to Beijing, what does this mean!"

Dugu Ming smiled slightly and squinted at Yuan Highway: "What do you think you mean?" ”

"The lesson of the wolf is not far away!" Yuan Highway lowered his voice, and his eyes were arguing: "Don't think that you can be alone, although you are a horse, King Wei is also a horse!" Your life is now tied to King Wei! ”

Yuan Highway had such an attack, which made Dugu Ming a little surprised, Dugu Ming looked at him, and said with a smile for a while: "Some people in the court say that King Wei took a fancy to you at the beginning, and he recommended you to Beijing, which was a failure in his life, because you didn't help King Wei at all, and now it seems that King Wei has never looked at the wrong person." ”

Yuan Lu's face was a little uplifted, and he said half angrily and half embarrassed: "Now is not the time to say that I am a person, donkey, just say, what are you going to do, if you are going to wait and see here, then I will find someone else!" ”

"It's not about what I'm going to do, it's about how you're going to do it?" Dugu Ming put down the teacup, stood up, and came to the window. Outside the glass window, the drizzle is hazy, knocking on the flowers and plants in the courtyard, which is a bit strangely beautiful. He was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What do you want, that one has already ascended the throne in front of the Immortal Emperor......

"I know who is arching the matter, Yuan Zai's guy is on the table, the real one is Lu Qi!" Yuan Highway snorted: "If these treacherous evils are not eliminated, Ye Gong will not be able to exert his fists and feet, what I mean is to wipe out these treacherous evils." If that person is interested, he can also be a clay statue in that position, but if he is not interested...... Is Ye Gong's credit smaller than that of Zhou Gong, Yi Yin, and Huo Guang? ”

This is to do the work of the Void!

The cold light flashed in Dugu Ming's eyes, and he stared at Yuan Highway, who did not show weakness and glared back at him.

"What about the infamy?"

"I'm willing to bear it!" Yuan Highway said categorically: "After the abolition, I am willing to assume this responsibility, please remove my official position and chase the countryside!" ”

"You ......" Dugu Ming was stunned at first, moved by the selflessness of Yuan Highway, and then immediately understood that this guy is advancing by retreating.

This guy's age is only fifty, even if he retires for a few years, there is still a chance to recover. Moreover, if he really did the abolition of the establishment for Ye Chang, how could Ye Chang not be impressed.

Even if he does not return to serve as an official, he will always be rich and prosperous for several lifetimes.

"I know that I am not a shallow learner, and Ye Gong recommended me to this high position, and there are many ridiculers at the time. But Ye Gong knows the grace of the encounter, I dare not forget it at any time, and at this time, when I am working, I dare not come out. Yuan Highway said sincerely: "I also have selfish intentions, for the sake of my descendants, I can't retreat at this moment!" ”

"Well, as you said, if you do something to abolish it, how can you guarantee that the one that comes up will be better than the one you have now?" Dugu Ming shook his head, and finally said what he was thinking: "In fact, according to what I see, whoever comes up is the same!" ”

"Huh?"

"Now that one, when he was the grandson, although he was not too close to King Wei, he was also respectful, and in his words, after he mentioned that after he would rule in the future, he would follow the rules and follow the way of King Wei...... But now? Dugu Ming asked again.

Li Li's ascension to the throne is the result of the joint efforts of several parties, Ye Chang himself is outside, although he has cleaned up the court, but five years is enough for some new undesirable people to appear. Of course, these people hope to get the merit of supporting, at least not letting Ye Chang monopolize the merit of supporting, so they jump up and down, eager to do the matter of Li Li's accession to the throne before Ye Chang returns to Beijing.

After that, in order to reward these people and to recover the power, the first policy proposed by Li Li was to completely nationalize the mining rights of the mines, the reason being that the mines were mostly involved in feng shui and had to act cautiously. This order caused a great uproar inside and outside the DPRK and China, and public opinion was ridiculed, but Li Li insisted on not changing it.

He is not a young emperor, in terms of age, he is older than Ye Changdu, so naturally he doesn't need to have a emperor above to take care of him. And Ye Chang's influence in the court is so great, even if he himself is far away in the country, the policy of the court is still controlled by him, which is intolerable for any aspiring and aspiring emperor. The emperor could not tolerate it, and naturally there would be speculators who would do what he liked and jump out to stir up trouble.

Yuan Highway's face turned a little blue: "Dugu Gong's meaning? ”

"Unless King Wei sits in that position, this kind of thing, over and over again, I don't know how many times it will happen." Dugu Ming finally turned around and said with a smile: "It's just that King Wei was favored by the first emperor and was unwilling to do this......

"You, you ......"

"King Wei doesn't want to do it, of course we people have to do it for him." Dugu Ming said slowly: "I am a Tang horse, naturally not selfish, but dedicated to the public......"

"It turns out that Ye Gong was not allowed to return to Chang'an before, and you agreed?" Yuan Highway lost his voice.

Some of the questions that bothered him were solved.

From Li Longji's serious illness to Li Li's accession to the throne, Ye Chang has never returned to Chang'an, only relying on Li Li's manpower, how can he do it! Behind this, Dugu Ming is also fueling the fire!

Yuan Highway thought again that at the beginning, Li Longji almost forced Dugu Ming's family to ruin for the sake of the Yang family, and even his daughter married a man. Although Dugu Ming is the son-in-law of the Li family, he is afraid that the friendship of the Li family has been severed as early as when that incident happened.

"Dugu Gong, you, you, so bold, Ye Gong...... How could Ye Gong allow you to do this? "Yuan Highway wanted to do something about abolishing the establishment, and he was originally bold, but he never thought that this Dugu Ming was more courageous than him, and he simply wanted to change the dynasty. He jumped up, pointed at Dugu Ming, and said in a trembling voice.

Dugu Ming slapped his face lightly, and then, behind the screen, a person walked out.

Yuan Highway was originally startled, but after seeing the face of the person behind the screen, he froze: "Bian Ping! ”

He naturally knew this person who used to be the head of the intelligence investigation by Ye Chang's side. It's just that five years ago, after the pacification of the An Lushan Rebellion, Ye Chang turned him from dark to light, transferred from the intelligence investigation system, and transferred him to the imperial court, where he became a head of the household department, responsible for household registration and management - this is clearly a certain degree of denigration.

Yuan Highway privately judged that it must be this Bian Ping who was angry with Ye Chang about something, but now it seems that his judgment may not be true.

"How is Gong Bian here?" He beckoned to Bian Ping.

"I have a wish, so I came to see Dugu Gong, and I don't want Yuan Gong to come." Bian said slowly.

Although he left the intelligence investigation position, the contacts accumulated over the years are still rare capital. For example, he can directly enter Dugu Ming's mansion and talk to Dugu Ming.

Yuan Highway felt creepy, and he couldn't help but ask again: "Gong Bian is here, does King Wei know?" ”

If Ye Chang instructed, then it was Ye Chang's intention to change the dynasty, and Yuan Highway had nothing to say, just fight for his life and shout with the flag. But if he didn't get Ye Chang's instructions, this operation would be a private matter, and with Yuan Highway's understanding of Ye Chang, I was afraid that he would be blamed for it.

"Ye Gong doesn't know what to do." Bian Pingdao.

"How dare you! If Ye Gong should not, what should you do, will you not be able to put him on the throne? Yuan Highway lost his voice.

Bian Ping smiled: "Fang Cai Yuangong still dares to give up his glory and wealth, and he wants to abolish his official position and do something about abolishing the establishment, what is that for?" ”

"Self is the Chinese Taoist system...... Do you mean that you are willing to give up everything? Yuan Highway asked in a trembling voice.

He originally thought that Dugu Ming and Bian Ping secretly planned this matter, which should be for the sake of personal wealth and prosperity to pass on to their descendants, after all, the support of the merit is great, and with this merit, it is not surprising that the prince and the marquis are crowned. But if Bian Ping said such a thing, if it was from the bottom of his heart, it would not be for this.

"I, the fisherman of the East China Sea, have sunk into the limelight, Ye Gong does not think it is humble, and I have today. Over the years, Ye Gong has raised his face to me, and what he said and referred to is where the Chinese Taoist system is. The martyrs of the ancients, you can sacrifice yourself for righteousness, although I am not talented, where righteousness is, what is it to give up my own wealth? Bian Ping said: "This matter is my most difficult plan, after the matter, I will resign and go back to my hometown to fish!" ”

Yuan Highway swallowed his saliva and turned to Dugu Ming: "What about Dugu Gong?" ”

"Frankly speaking, I have selfish intentions, Li Li is a mediocre man, as soon as he ascended the throne, he wanted to take back the mining rights, and it is reported that some people also suggested that he expand the franchise, not limited to salt and iron, but also cotton, glass, cement, and so on. Although these are aimed at Wei Wang, if Wei Wang can't hold on, he is afraid that all the factory products will be monopolized. Dugu Ming said: "Yuan Gong, as you said, the only person in the world who knows how to benefit the people is Ye Gong, since this is the case, why not let Ye Gong rule the world and benefit the people?" After all, the Taoism of China is for the benefit of the people! ”

"Benefiting the ......"

Yuan Lulu's heart trembled again.

The theory of Taoism was formally put forward by Ye Chang in the thirteenth year of Tianbao, and it caused a lot of controversy at that time, but until now, the mainstream of Confucianism and the mainstream of the world have accepted the theory of Taoism.

In the Middle Ages, Confucius was called a saint instead of a king, because his views were beneficial to the people in the spring and autumn period of war.

Therefore, for the monarch and the emperor, only for the benefit of the people, it is called orthodoxy, if you lose the heart of the people, you will lose the country. This is also the folk saying "those who win the hearts of the people win the world", and it is also what Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said, "Water can carry a boat, or it can overturn a boat".

Now it seems that Ye Chang's Taoist theory is now the best theoretical basis for him to change the dynasty.

Could it be that since the thirteenth year of Tianbao, Ye Chang has realized this?

If this is the case, Ye Chang's ambition methods are beyond the reach of and recklessness!

"It seems that I am worried in vain...... After a while, Yuan Highway smiled bitterly: "It's just that the abolition of the establishment is already my limit, and this is a change of dynasty...... I don't want to be a minister of the Second Dynasty. ”

It was very difficult for him to say this, because since Dugu Ming and Bian Ping had spoken in front of him, they would not allow him to spread the news.

Sure enough, Dugu Ming and Bian Ping's expressions changed, and Bian Ping even showed a hint of hideousness, but the news was immediate.

"Yuan Gong, so far, do you still want to retreat?" Bian Ping said: "You should know that we are all pawns crossing the river, but we can't go back!" ”

Yuan Highway heard the threat in his words, was silent for a while, and sighed: "I will not be a minister of the Second Dynasty after all, but I am afraid of death...... Gong Bian, I will definitely report this matter to King Wei. ”

"After the matter is done, you can dispose of it!" Seeing that he finally gave in, Bian Ping said with a smile: "But at this time, you still need the cooperation of Yuan Gong." ”

"Tell me, what do you want me to do." The Yuan Highway is somewhat depressed.

"It's very simple, you are the Imperial Doctor, the Imperial Historian's advisory, and I want to be influenced by you......"

Bian Ping told his plan, and after hearing it, Yuan Highway couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You want to get away with it." ”

"That's nature, if you want to take it, you must first take it, if not, how can Li Li dare to come out and take this risk?"

Yuan Highway was silent for a while, and then nodded: "Since this is the case, it depends on your ......."

He should do this, Bian Ping and Dugu Ming no longer keep him and send him away. After he left, Dugu Ming said, "Will he tell the truth?" ”

"We are a conspiracy, not a conspiracy, he is a whistleblower, and it doesn't matter." Bian Ping said hesitantly: "And he himself understands that there is no strength in the world that can stop us." Originally, we thought that there should be a suitable person to do this, and he came to the door by himself, this is the destiny of Ye Gong! ”

"I just ask King Wei not to be too angry afterwards." Dugu Ming said: "The people around Li Li, are they safe?" ”

"Naturally safe, it's not the first time he's done this kind of thing......" Bian Ping said this, smiling slightly.

"Not the first time you've done it? It turned out to be him, and you actually put Lu Qi next to Li Li! Dugu Ming suddenly realized.
