"This button is about to be stopped!" Cai Xianqing slapped his thigh and said two words "not good" one after another.

Ye Yongjia frowned, pinched the letter, and read it back and forth countless times before he said slowly: "Old Cai, I see that Niu Yuan will not give up easily. If he wants to repeal the reform, he can calmly recall it with a warrant, why should he deliver a secret letter and urge it so urgently? I'm afraid it's really a difficult thing to let the younger generation go to help. ”

Cai Xianqing asked, "Then what should I do about Xuanhua?" ”

"Xuanhua...... I have to give it to Cai Shilang. Ye Yongjia pinched his fingers and looked into the distance, "You must bear this burden, the Jingshi is not far from here, I will try to come back in a few days......"

Niu Yuan did have a lot of problems in the DPRK. As the progress of the border patrol became more and more in-depth, a piece of sealing the border gate entered the palace, and it also hit the bottom line of the opponents again and again. It wasn't until Shi Yiyi's envoy returned to the capital and reported to Zhongshu Province that "the border patrol has been very effective, and Ye Yongjia is ready to stay for a long time", the ministers could no longer sit still.

At first, it was a private discussion, but Niu Yuan did not say anything about it, and it gradually evolved into a dispute on the surface.

On this day, there was no emperor in the court meeting as usual, and it was presided over by the prince of the prison state, and Liu Zhennian sat in the second seat, quietly watching everyone kneel and worship.

"Tell Your Highness," everyone just stood up, and Hong Lishen walked out, "Today, Xuanhua came to report that Ye Yongjia has made up his mind to stay at the border for a long time, and I would like to ask the imperial court to send more people to help Fengxiang change." ”

"I think......" The prince didn't speak halfway through, but turned his head to look at Liu Zhennian, "It's better for Liu Xiang to say it first." ”

Liu Zhennian hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare. However, since His Royal Highness asked Liu, then Weichen answered well. In my opinion, the meaning of Fengxiang is far-reaching, and the imperial court should do its best to support it in order to achieve effective governance. ”

"Liu Gong Mo believes in the words of the Prime Minister's family, he is too disconsiderate of reality!" The military department Shangshu Wenwu hurriedly said, "You must also understand the suffering of our military department!" He wants to make a big change, so I have to ask this new minister, is he responsible for the expenses of the military department? Is he responsible for the selection of soldiers? Where are a large number of soldiers at the border pass? Oh, don't worry about all these ministers, and I'll just take the blame with my people when the time comes. ”

"Jieshangshu, if you have something to say to me, you don't have to look at the prince and Liu Xiang with that face!" Niu Yuan patted his chest, a little annoyed.

"Don't worry," Li Wenshou also came to help, "If you have something to say, it's best not to talk about things." ”

"Okay, good ......" Niu Yuan stopped the anger in his heart and exhaled, "Jieshangshu, the people and horses at the border pass are almost about to collapse at the touch of a button, and Xuanhua may fall at any time, these crises are in front of us." There are small losses and big losses in state affairs, and if you only pay attention to those small losses, you will end up in a mess, and you will not be able to take care of any expenditure and military resources, and it will not become empty talk! ”

"Hmph, what Lord Fengxiang said is light, after all, it's not you who will pay for everyone!" Hubu Shangshu retorted, "If the army is reorganized, the purchase of armor, weapons, war horses, and artillery will all come out of my household!" The current national strength must not be tossed like this! ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was in an uproar, and the scolding continued.

"Enough!" The prince's roar did not stop the development of events, but only made the courtiers even more reckless, and they blocked the water and asked him for an explanation; Some people even stood on the table and accused Niu Yuan of what he had done since he took office.

"Shut up!" Liu Zhennian slammed his saber on the table, shaking everyone three times, "Didn't you listen to Vice Li's words about participating in politics?" If you have something to say, you will yell in the court, what kind of system will it become! ”

"Yes......" The officials bowed their heads and relented.

"This matter is very important," the prince opened his mouth again, "it is better to let you discuss it for a few days before making a decision." Let the meeting be dismissed today. ”

"Adjournment!" Liu Zhennian put away his sword.

"Why didn't you say a word yesterday?" In the lobby of the ministry, Chen Tongpao was pouring tea for Gao Jizhi.

"Liu Zhennian is still in a dilemma about this, and we have nothing to do with this reform, so why do we have to stand in line once?" Gao Jizhi picked up the tea bowl with two fingers, "Even if there is no me, there are many people who want to oppose the minister." ”

"But you ...... in your heart There is still a bias. Comrade Chen smiled and picked up the purple clay pot for him.

"Yes, the will of the people cannot be violated," Gao Jizhi took out a piece of tea from the bowl, "We are like this tea, we must be soaked in water, without water, there is no use." You think, Shi Yiyi used an iron-beaten private soldier at the border pass, and the two units of this household saved some effort; Secondly, this Shi Du Governor is extremely deferential, and has repeatedly come to Beijing to give some filial piety to the officials, and they naturally like this Shi Yiyi. Unless they are uprooted, it will be difficult to succeed. ”

"I heard that Ye Yongjia is coming back." Comrade Chen revealed the news to him.

"Oh?" Gao Jizhi's eyebrows twitched twice, "Niu Yuan's enthusiasm seems to be gradually disappearing. Do you know what to do? ”

"Xia Guan understands." Ye Yongjia was expressionless, and only lowered his head slightly.

It was afternoon when Ye Yongjia came back. When he saw that the curfew had not yet begun, he secretly rejoiced, and hurriedly went to the various divisions to find the people he had sent, but there was no news and disappeared without a trace. He wondered in his heart, so he had to go to see Niu Yuan first.

"Lord Ye, you're finally back!" Niu Yuan saw him from afar, and hurriedly ran over to greet him, "How are you there?" Have you ever been calculated? ”

"It's okay," Ye Yongjia didn't seem to be very comfortable, "everything is going well." ”

"But I'm very difficult here," he and Ye Yongjia walked to the court, "The ministers are strongly opposed to you staying in Xuanhua for a long time, and the situation is becoming more and more uncontrollable......"

Ye Yongjia didn't say a word, just listened to his speech silently.

"Some people are still sowing discord behind their backs," Niu Yuan raised his head, "It's ridiculous to say that I don't trust you, a newcomer!" I am now unaccompanied, and you alone approve of my reforms! If I don't unite you, I want to alienate you? I don't like to hide it, and the more I hide, the more uncomfortable it becomes, so I tell you all the things in my heart. ”

"The lower officials don't care about gossip, and the prime minister can rest assured." Ye Yongjia bowed.

"Those courtiers are all for the sake of selfish interests, and they don't think about the way of the rise and fall of the country," Niu Yuan sighed with a hidden face, "but I will never come to this official in a drunken dream!" The more powerful they are in obstruction, the more determined I will be. Tinglong, you and I are the only ones in the same boat, and it's a big deal to sink into the water together! ”

Seeing that he was so impassioned, Ye Yongjia had no choice but to throw away the doubts in his stomach and bow to Niu Yuan firmly: "The lower officials are willing to follow the prime minister and never give up!" ”
