Chapter 426: Wooing
"Brother, when the time comes, one person will ascend to heaven, what do you want when you don't have your hands on it?" The Queen Mother continued to promise.
Ye Wanli swallowed his saliva when he heard this, if it was really as the Queen Mother said, he would not have to face the open and secret battles of the court as he did now, this condition seems to be not bad.
It can be said that this position is the pinnacle of power, and he has struggled for most of his life, isn't it just for power? If you can get it early, why not?
To tell the truth, no matter who sits on the throne, Ye Wanli doesn't care, he only cares about his own power, not only him, but the ministers are also vying for it.
This is like a bet, if you win the bet, you will make a lot of money, and if you lose, you will be defeated, and you may be accused of fornicating with the party and being punished by the nine clans.
Therefore, before the new emperor succeeds to the throne, everything is possible, if he really helps the Ye family to sit on the throne of the emperor, then he can be said to be on the rise.
Thinking of this, Ye Wanlian couldn't help but feel excited, kept observing his expression, took in the excitement in his eyes, and asked quietly, "Brother, how are you thinking about it?" ”
"Empress Dowager Xie is kind, but this matter is very important, and the old minister wants to go back to the house and think about it carefully." Ye Wanli got up to say goodbye, although the Queen Mother's words made Ye Wanli very moved, but he did not lose his mind.
There are pros and cons to everything, not to mention, the affairs of the court have always been unstable, and the possibility of failure cannot be ruled out, so he still has to discuss it with his colleagues.
Officialdom is complicated, and everyone has their own circle.
After returning to the General's Mansion, Ye Wanli immediately ordered someone to write letters to his good officials in the court, inviting them to have a small gathering in the mansion.
Nominally a small gathering, but in fact it is a conspiracy, many things, when the old ministers of the court know the doorway, yes, after they received the letter, they rushed to the prime minister's mansion as soon as possible.
In the evening, the study of the Prime Minister's House.
Ye Wanli ordered someone to prepare a table of dishes, as well as two pots of wine, and the officials ate with relish, and the officials were invited to come, and after sitting down, Ye Wanli asked the maids who were waiting to pour the wine to retreat.
"Everyone here is my Ye Mou's confidants, and I have summoned you here today because I have something I want to say to you." Ye Wanli wanted to throw bricks and lead the jade.
"I said Lao Ye, everyone is so familiar, you don't sell it, just say whatever you want." A chubby official spoke as he gnawed on his elbow.
"What do you think of Liancheng?" Ye Wanli listened to the fat man's words and did not sell Guan Zi again.
"Ling Lang is a very low-key person on weekdays, and as for his temperament, we don't know much about it." An old man stroked his long beard and said.
"I heard that some time ago, Ling Lang was inadvertently plotted by a traitor, so he had to find a girl to vent at random, but afterwards he sold the girl to the Qinglou, and then the girl came to the door when she was pregnant, but Ling Lang ordered someone to beat the girl to death on the grounds of mongrel." A sissy man said with a squeezing of his throat.
"But I heard that Ling Lang fell in love with that girl, but the girl was caught red-handed by Ling Lang when she was fooling around outside, and in anger, she ordered someone to beat the adulterer and the woman to death." A man dressed as a scholar spoke.
"It seems that Ling Lang doesn't look at Lyss Wen on weekdays, but he really has a ruthless energy." The fat man spoke again.
"Do you think my son is a worthy of our support?" Ye Wanli asked bluntly.
Several officials looked at each other, but no one spoke, after all, the matter of the throne is very important, and once you stand on the wrong team, you will definitely lose everything.
"It's not a secret, today the Queen Mother came to me to help each other, and after the matter was completed, she promised me to wait for the addition of officials to the knighthood, and I summoned everyone to come here today, just to discuss this matter."
The so-called promise that everyone will be added to the official rank, the Queen Mother naturally did not say this, but Ye Wanli is an old fox, and naturally understands the truth of officialdom, if they are not beneficial, no one wants to be someone else's wedding dress in vain.
That's why he threw everyone a feeling that the queen mother had thrown an olive branch to their forces, in fact, he already had an idea in his heart, and calling everyone over was just a meaning, even if there was an objection, he also thought of a reason to refute it in advance.
"This Ling Lang is indeed a malleable talent, but has the general really decided to give up the emperor's flag? Is the situation in your favor? ”
Indeed, Ye Wanli did think about this problem, but the person he sent recently came with news that Ye Xinlan was not favored by the emperor, so when the queen mother threw out an olive branch, he would hesitate to replan and abandon the emperor's chess piece.
The emperor is good, but if he can't use it, it doesn't make any sense, and it just so happens that the appearance of the queen mother gives him another choice, so he weighs the pros and cons between the two, and weighs how to get the most out of himself.
"General, I heard that the emperor seems to be ignoring Ling Qianjin, if it were me, I would choose Ling Lang." Someone spoke, shaking Ye Wanli's mind again.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door, like the sound of dishes falling on the ground, and then the door of the study was opened.
Aunt Lu staggered in, her face was pale and her eyes were red.
"General Xinlan is already married to the emperor, you can't betray the emperor." Aunt Lu looked at Ye Wanli, a little incredulous.
When the people present saw this, they immediately looked at Ye Wanli with some doubts, this is the aunt of the General's Mansion? If you don't eavesdrop here, you still talk about the government in vain, which is really a big taboo!
Since ancient times, there have been women who are not allowed to talk about the rules of government affairs, but I didn't expect Aunt Lu to tell this kind of thing in front of so many people today.
Ye Wanli glared at Aunt Lu, her face was extremely ugly, this stinky woman really didn't know how to lift, who did she think she was? Can you influence your own decisions?
"Someone, bring her down for me." As soon as Ye Wanli's words fell, two small servants suddenly broke in and took Aunt Shen away.
While being dragged by someone, Aunt Lu shouted unwillingly, "Prime Minister! You can't betray the prince, otherwise what will Chang'an do! ”
Aunt Lu was taken down, and the room fell silent.
Luoyang, Cloud Inn.
When Ming Xuanze arrived, he found that there seemed to be a fierce battle here, and he found nothing but a corner of clothes on the ground.
I don't know who led him here, Ming Xuanze was puzzled, and at this moment, a white dove stopped at the window.
