As King Fu spoke, the gloomy color in his eyes reappeared, "Liu Xiang rushed over in such a hurry just to tell this king that there is no chance to meddle in the craftsman industry again?" ”

He thought of the look that Jinrong had given him before he walked into the palace. That was Chi Guoguo's provocation, it was to ridicule him for operating for so many years, but it was not as handy as Jinrong when he first entered the court, and it was to ridicule him for his doom!

Liu Chengzhi is also hesitating how to deal with the current situation? Is it tied to King Fu, desperate, or break away from King Fu...... He has cooperated with King Fu for many years, and he has been involved too deeply, and it is impossible to withdraw.

If the household department is a place where you can do things with money, then the ministry is a place where you can make money.

The Ministry of Industry is a place where silver is used, and the various construction funds allocated by the imperial court to the Ministry of Industry every year occupy the vast majority of the imperial court's expenditure. If the use process is done well, it is not inconspicuous, and it does not commit crimes, it can make the family of the handling officials prosperous.

Before Fuwang took charge of the Ministry of Engineering, Liu Chengzhi had been operating in the Ministry of Engineering for many years. From a practical official, he has been smoothly and steadily rising to a high position in Shangshu, and has accumulated a very rich net worth for himself.

During this period, he only did one thing well, and that was to use the silver taels appropriated by the imperial court correctly. If you can do the affairs of the court safely, and you don't lose yourself and your subordinate officials, then you are a capable official.

In the career of mixed officials, the higher the position, the greater the authority, and the more honor and disgrace are things between the lines. Today's King Fu loses power, and tomorrow the officials of King Fu's family will decline.

If it is more serious, it will be turned over by the opponent who has a festival or even a grudge and will be put to death.

has been an official for many years, who can still not mess up things? Even if he doesn't, after losing his power, he doesn't have to worry about being framed by the enemy.

Therefore, the ship of King Fu cannot be sunk.

Liu Chengzhi said: "Your Highness, you have to think of ways to curb the power of King Yu." Otherwise, His Highness and His Highness's subordinate officials, I'm afraid there will really be no chance. ”

King Fu's expression was slightly relaxed, Liu Chengzhi acted too cautiously, and always thought that he could have a perfect plan when encountering problems. But these two sentences are quite passable.

Hum! Liu Xiang has been in a high position for many years, can't he understand such a simple thing? From the moment they chose to support a prince, there was no way out. Unless they haven't offended anyone before, unless they are willing to give up their official positions and become ordinary squires who need to rely on others, and see their family decline early.

"Liu Xiang talked about this today, but what important things came to mind?" King Fu recalled that Liu Chengzhi had informed the emperor about today's discussions, and it seemed that there was nothing special.

Liu Chengzhi said a little bitterly: "Has Your Highness noticed the coal mine mentioned in today's deliberations?" ”

"Coal mines? The kind of black stone coal? ”

"Yes, coal. If there is no steam engine and no blast smelting furnace, this coal mine is a very bad thing. It may be of some use to the common people, but for officials and wealthy people, whether it is used for heating or kitchen, it is far inferior to good charcoal. ”

King Fu had a little aftertaste, "The craftsmen who operate the steam engine and participate in the smelting are not so particular, for the steam engine, as long as the coal is strong, it is like a tiger with wings." It doesn't matter if there are impurities and black smoke or not. ”

Liu Chengzhi nodded, "What's more, Ye Xinyan also proposed today to try to dispose of coal by burning charcoal." Wechen thought that it should be feasible to deal with coal in this way, and maybe it would be successful in a short time. Your Highness, if you let them use coal to smelt with impurities, it may be possible to smelt the fine iron that will astonish the world. This merit is too great. ”

Liu Chengzhi frowned, today's deliberation made him deeply worried. Ye Xinyan's woman's brain didn't know how to grow, and she and the craftsmen and mechanical workshops under her rule could no longer be regarded as common sense.

If Ye Xinyan can't be used by King Fu, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay. Staying for one more day can add a few more points to King Yu's succession.

King Fu's haze for a day seemed to have come out, he squinted slightly, hiding the killing intent in his eyes, "What does Liu Xiang mean ......"

Liu Chengzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, King Yu's reputation and his position in the emperor's heart are already too high and too important. ”

King Fu turned his mind and waited for Liu Chengzhi's next words.

"Your Royal Highness, that Ye Xinyan is really evil, and she can't be allowed to do things for King Yu anymore."

King Fu frowned, what kind of bullshit proposal is this. Your old man made up his mind for a long time and gave such a proposal? Jiang Yifan and Jinrong are sworn friends, and Ye Xinyan started to do business with Jinrong at a difficult time, how could this relationship be broken?

King Fu leisurely looked at Liu Chengzhi...... Could it be that Liu Chengzhi meant to kill Ye Xinyan or Jinrong?

Liu Chengzhi nodded, "The emperor wants to change the pattern of the world, and wants to build the Great Xia Dynasty into a dynasty that opens a new era in his hands." Ye Xinyan's mechanical workshop, every achievement is a bargaining chip for King Yu to succeed to the throne. There are two of them, and His Highness has to find a way to get rid of one. ”

Liu Chengzhi's role in King Fu is similar to Han Yanhui's role in Jinrong. As a complement to the cabinet, they assist the emperor in handling government affairs, and they can support the political views of a certain prince, and they must not blatantly vote to the prince's door.

Liu Chengzhi had already said it thoroughly, and after King Fu sent him away, he summoned his henchmen overnight to discuss countermeasures.

As soon as Liu Yu heard what King Fu meant, he frowned: "Ye Xinyan can't move." ”

The emperor wants to make a different contribution from understanding the emperor, and become an epoch-making emperor who will go down in history. This kind of historical process and epoch-making industry is closely related to Ye Xinyan's mechanical workshop.

It's not that they didn't want to kill Ye Xinyan, because it was too difficult, so they couldn't implement it. The Jiang family's guards are all from the Anguo Mansion and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and they are all hard stubble. In addition, the Jianghu people who live in the Jiang family are not easy to deal with.

What's more, in this case, even if she can succeed quietly, she can't touch her at all.

The emperor counted on Ye Xinyan's idea to create a prosperous world, and killing Ye Xinyan would cut off the emperor's ambition. As long as there is the slightest flaw, even the emperor just guesses, the people of their line will be wiped out.

At that time, what throne will King Fu inherit? It is possible that he will be killed by the emperor directly.

Liu Yu looked at a few people in the room.

It was nearly midnight, and there were a few lights in the room, but they were not very bright. Under the dim light, the faces of several people were inexplicably solemn.

Liu Yu said softly: "Instead of targeting Ye Xinyan and ruining the emperor's ambitions, it is better to deal with King Yu." ”

He paused and continued: "King Yu is favored by the emperor again, he is just a prince. Without him as a prince, there are His Royal Highness, the crown prince, and several young royal brothers. He is far less important than Ye Xinyan. ”

King Fu's cousin Jiang Shuyuan also gritted his back molars and echoed fiercely: "Mr. Liu is right, there are many cases of fratricidal brothers in history. The battle for the throne has always focused on the winner, the prince, and the loser. If we find an opportunity to kill King Yu, we will be the winner of the brotherly battle, which is not a big deal for the prince who is competing for the throne. ”

Zhang Chi hesitated slightly, and when King Fu looked over, he nodded, "Okay, without King Yu, would Jiang Yifan and Ye Xinyan still follow King Yu underground?" At that time, His Royal Highness will be in charge of the industrial development of the world, no matter what Ye Xinyan has done, it will be a generous gift from His Royal Highness to the emperor.
