In the middle of the night, there was a knock on Zhang Ye's door, and the old housekeeper said outside: "My lord, the courtiers in the palace have brought documents." ”

Zhang Ye was depressed for a while, and hurriedly finished tidying up under Zhaoli's service and walked out.

Before leaving, I happened to see Miss Bao's room brightly lit. Zhang Ye walked in first.

Accompanied by the green lantern, Miss Bao was writing with a pen, and said without looking at it: "Go if you have something to do, don't worry about me." ”

Zhang Ye said: "Why haven't you rested yet, your cultivation is low, and if you continue like this, you will lose your life." ”

Miss Bao smiled indifferently, put down the pen and got up, came over to sort out the clothes that were still a little messy for Zhang Ye, and said, "Go, if His Royal Highness wants to come forward to help you solve the matter of Huang Zhongchang and Changkong Lang, you will refuse." ”

Zhang Ye remembered Miss Bao's explanation, followed the courtiers out of the small courtyard, and entered the back of the palace.

Still standing next to Wushuang Pond in a daze, the three baby fish shouted, "Admiral Long is healthy", and she came back to her senses.

"I'm going to let the ministers go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and my uncle to walk around, do you think it's okay?" Changkong turned around and smiled.

Zhang Ye knelt down and said, "No." The ministers represent the royal power, and the royal power represents the unequaled, and the transcendent status of the royal power must be maintained, which is the overall cohesion of the unequaled. When the royal power participated in the following competition, the royal power walked down the temple, representing domineering and competing with the ministers for profit, that was the beginning of the chaos, and that was also the beginning of the ministers' power. In a mature dynasty, the rise of the prime minister's power can be tolerated, but the rise of the 'ministers' forces can never be tolerated to interfere in politics, and the rise of eunuchs and ministers has always been the way to destroy the country. It can directly exacerbate the conflict between the royal power and the gatekeeper, rather than buffering it. ”

He was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him and said, "Get up quickly, it's good, but ...... I suspect your wife said that?"

Zhang Ye's old face flushed.

Fortunately, he didn't care about it, and said a little angrily: "How many ladies are you going to marry? I heard that Mu Zhaojun is also going to marry you?"

Zhang Ye said speechlessly: "Let's discuss the government affairs you summoned late at night, okay?"

He said suddenly, "I called you here to ask about this...... No, in fact, I called you to ask you, do you want to put the body of Her Royal Highness Mother into the Wushuang Pool?"

Zhang Ye did not want to let go of His Royal Highness's body, but after scratching his head and thinking about it for a long time, he felt that it was a bit unreasonable not to abide by His Highness's will and not let his daughter manage the body.

"Okay. Zhang Ye finally nodded and agreed.

"Uh-huh. Changkong nodded and said, "Can you stop marrying Mu Zhaojun after that?"

Zhang Ye didn't dare to agree casually, thinking about it, the schedule for marrying was full, and there was still a Yanjing in Blue Snow City who had not passed the door.

However, it seems that His Royal Highness doesn't like to hear this, so Zhang Ye doesn't dare to say it casually.

"Well, okay. Seeing that he didn't speak, he was a little embarrassed, and said, "Actually, I don't want to ask you about these things, I have nothing to ask." ”

Zhang Ye said dejectedly: "Your Highness, you summoned you late at night and just said these two words?"

Changkong throbbed: "Can't I call you over to chat late at night?"

Her appearance made Zhang Ye a little swoon, and hurriedly said: "Of course you can, I won't go back, I'll talk with you until dawn." ”

Sitting down by the pond, he said that he had started chatting, but on the contrary, he talked about state affairs and asked: "There are a bunch of documents in the palace to promote you as the prime minister, but there are still two important documents, which are my uncle Prince Lang and the minister Huang Zhongchang. What do you think?"

These things have always been confusing to Zhang Ye, but Miss Bao's back also makes Zhang Ye's back familiar.

At that moment, Zhang Ye said: "Huang Zhongchang Xiangye has always been serious, he will wait and see, but it doesn't matter, I have summoned Longwei Sima Huang Min to return to the court, and she will be able to solve this matter after she comes." As for Prince Lang, I don't know much about it. ”

He said abruptly: "My uncle has never participated in government affairs, this is the rule set by Her Royal Highness Mother, but he is the acting patriarch of Changkong, and he also serves as the 'clan minister' of the royal palace, and has always managed the liaison affairs between various clans. Her Royal Highness Mother is gone, and in the Changkong clan, his uncle's influence is second to none, and he also has a certain degree of persuasion among the clans other than Wushuang. It seems that because of your Lady Zhaoli, Zhaoli's own family has a deep influence on Prince Lang, so he has a tendency to reject you. ”

After a pause, he continued with a sigh: "In principle, after Her Royal Highness Mother is gone, they should support me to take over as the patriarch of the Changkong Clan, but unfortunately Mother did not leave an edict in this regard. In addition, my uncle has always been the acting patriarch, since I didn't mention it, and I was raised by my uncle, which means that he is the father, so I can't come forward to ask him about the power and deprive him of the affairs of the acting patriarch, night, do you understand?"

Zhang Ye said: "I understand this. Miss Bao also mentioned that this situation will make your status more transcendent, but at the same time, it will also bring your influence further reduced. In the long run, it is good for the country, but in the near term it is harmful. ”

Changkong throbbed and said, "Night, you tell me specifically." ”

Zhang Ye said: "The long-term benefit lies in the fact that if you do not serve as the patriarch, your royal power will truly represent the country, represent the unequaled, and be above everything, you are not the patriarch, and the decision-making is completely based on state affairs, which further reduces the interests of the Changkong royal family, which is a manifestation of the selflessness of the Grand Duke, and it is also an important step to eliminate the influence of the gate valve in the future." But you've been experiencing a lot of resistance lately. ”

Changkong said softly: "It's hard to decide, you just tell me, do the pros outweigh the disadvantages?"

"Yes. Zhang Ye nodded, although Miss Bao said so, but Zhang Ye herself felt that this was a sacrifice for palpitations.

"Then you just do it. "I trust you and leave it to you." You go to see my uncle, and exchange the honorary power of the Changkong clan and the orthodox position of the patriarch for your power. It's a compromise, a bargain, and politics in the mouth of Her Royal Highness Mother. ”

Although this was what Miss Bao hoped to achieve, Zhang Ye did not immediately agree, scratched his head for a long time and said, "But I still feel a little sorry for you, you have sacrificed too much." Asking you to spit out what you should have is probably the hardest thing to do. ”

Changkong said softly: "Just do it." This is what you gave me, and if you don't come back, I can't have it. ”

Zhang Ye said depressedly: "Or...... Think again. ”

Changkong laughed dumbly and said, "When did you become such a chicken woman?"

Then there was no more to say, and the two of them were back to back, looking at the stars and night by the pond, and fell silent.

After a long time, Zhang Ye said, "If there is nothing else, I'd better leave, right?"

Changkong said with a throbbing voice: "Don't go, in a while, the morning will be dawning." ”

Zhang Ye said: "I am Admiral Long, and I can't participate in the court meeting yet." ”

Changkong said with a throbbing voice: "Then you will wait until that moment to protect your regent into the court meeting." ”

It's inconvenient for Zhang Ye to speak again, so it's okay if he doesn't go back. As in the past, Zhaoli was very difficult to feed, except for the evening, she also had her rules in the early morning, and she could only get out of bed if she had a shot first.

The only good thing is that he and Zhaoli XXOO will not lose cultivation, and it is equivalent to double cultivation, which is of great benefit to Zhaoli.

Of course, the benefits to Zhang Ye himself are not great, and they are not as fast as Zhang Ye's direct cultivation. It's just that limited to the current situation, Zhang Ye has never had time to cultivate, and he can't experience the kind of Gang Qi cycle that maintains high efficiency and high returns for a week......
