Not only Cui Yi, but everyone in the hall was also silent. They looked at Ye Yongjia in panic, fearing that his untimely words would disturb his mood.
Unexpectedly, Ye Yongjia nodded repentantly, then smiled softly, turned to everyone and said, "I often say that she thinks deeply about the problem, but she is not happy yet. Take a look, is this true?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone relaxed and said one after another: "Mrs. Ye is very insightful and can speak out. Even if we have this ability, we don't have the courage! Those of us who have been officials for many years are not as good as you. ”
Although Mrs. Cui was a little secretly happy, she was always respectful and self-possessed and did not dare to be proud. She just leaned over and said: "I am a woman, how can I understand the important affairs of the court, but the inspiration suddenly appeared..."
While they were talking, someone outside the door shouted: "Master Dong Sheng, the supervisor of the Xuanhua Army and the member of the Ministry of War, is here!"
Ye Yongjia's eyes shone, he clapped his knees and laughed: "Please, please! I haven't seen him for a long time!"
Having said that, he saw Dong Sheng wearing brocade clothes, walking with lunging steps, and walking into the hall with a spring breeze on his face. He first hugged the people around him, and then said to Ye Yongjia: "Master Ye, Dong just went to the palace to report his duties, so I came here." It's a little late, so I hope you can forgive me."
"Isn't this such a small thing surprising?" Ye Yongjia stood up with a smile and looked at him closely. "We haven't seen him for many years. Cong Ming's face has obviously become thinner and he has grown a lot of beard. I can hardly recognize him. ! At first you said you wanted to drink the latest tea when you came back, but as a result, after staying at the border for two or three years, you still have no new tea to drink."
Dong Sheng replied with a smile: "It's not that I'm too busy with military affairs and I can't get away. How can I take a break? I came here today just to congratulate you on the success of your new policy. I don't plan to drink with everyone."
"Why are you in such a hurry," Ye Yongjia said as he invited him to his seat, "I just wanted to ask you about things over there."
Dong Sheng had no choice but to obey, sat down on the seat, and took a sip of wine.
"I remember that the governor of Xuanhua was called Zhang...Zhang or something. He seemed to be very opposed to us." Ye Yongjia said.
"Zhang Chenghuai." Dong Sheng replied, "When I first took office, this person had some dealings with Cun Zhao, which almost caused me to be doomed."
"Yes, Zhang Chenghuai, I remember it. How is he doing recently?" Ye Yongjia asked next.
"This person is still very stubborn and can't listen to my words. He often tries to fight against me. It's a headache."
"He has followed Du Qing for many years, but he is a loyal person," Ye Yongjia said. "Can't you understand him with reason and emotion, and recruit him to our name?"
Dong Sheng shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't be easy. He hates party strife and tries his best to take matters into his own hands."
"But letting him do this is not an option in the long run..." Ye Yongjia lowered his head and rubbed his brow bone with his hand.
"Then get rid of him!" Cui Yi on the side showed a fierce look on his face and said decisively, "It will be beneficial and harmless to remove this thorn in the side."
After Lu Tingci heard this, he couldn't sit still. Ming Huiguang said in his ear again: "Cui Yi's words are almost the same as treachery. If he makes the world poisonous, will the censor feel at ease?"
Tingci left his seat excitedly and bowed deeply to Ye Yongjia: "Sir, we have gathered together for the New Deal, and we only want to benefit the world, and we are different from ordinary cliques. If we hold this sectarian view and exclude dissidents, it will chill the hearts of everyone and cause great harm. Fame.”
"Censor Lu is too arrogant!" Cui Yi shouted, "If the new policy is blocked because of him, it will be up to you what you say!"
Lu Tingci's face remained unchanged: "If the new policy is to harm loyal ministers and good generals, I would rather dismiss from office!"
"you!"
"Stop it all!" Ye Yongjia said with a stern face and immediately interrupted their quarrel, "I have my own plans in mind."
Lu Tingci raised his head expectantly.
"I agree with Chief Cui's opinion."
Ye Yongjia said these words calmly, which shocked both Ming and Lu. Their eyes revealed endless confusion.
"As for how to get rid of it, we still need to discuss it carefully... Let's have a drink first."
Everyone drank until evening and chatted happily for a long time before gradually dispersing. Ye Yongjia put away the table, dishes, chopsticks and dishes. It was getting dark, so he asked for a coal lamp and was about to go to the bedroom.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cui came angrily from behind and said to him: "How can you still nod to Cui Yi's suggestion?"
Ye Yongjia exhaled the smell of alcohol and said casually: "I think it's pretty good... Oh, it's late today, so I won't mention it anymore and go back to sleep."
Ms. Cui refused to listen and snatched the coal lamp from him: "What are you talking about! I thought you were a gentleman. I admired you so much at first, but I didn't expect... you are like those officials."
Only then did Ye Yongjia wake up a little, his expression became serious, and he shook his head with a sneer: "There are too many things going on here, Ms. Cui, that you don't know... My implementation of the New Deal is not just talk on paper, and I can't think in the best direction. At that time, I If you make up your mind to take the path of forming a party, something like this will inevitably happen."
"The struggle in the court is either your death or my death. The foundation of the New Deal is firmly rooted here. It is not in your or my imagination, but in reality. It has a lot to do with reality. Relationships are destined to have a dirty side...perhaps in later generations, these dirty things can be abandoned and forgotten, and only the beautiful side can be cut out. Looking at the grand ideal, one will think that it was also this beautiful back then. .”
After hearing this long words, Mrs. Cui was still a little confused, as if she had heard him babble in his sleep. She could only nod her head in understanding, and then asked in a low voice: "But...but Zhang Chenghuai is not a party member of Chen, so we can't talk about it." Enemy?"
Ye Yongjia sighed: "But he blocked the New Deal after all. I can't keep my hands off the spring water." After that, he softly comforted Cui for a few words, asked for the kerosene lamp back, and walked alone in the dark night.
"Have you seen it?" Chen Tongpao was holding his legs, drinking tea in Zeng Liang's Yamen, and calmly pushed a document to him.
"I already know," Zeng Liang clenched his fists, and it was obvious that he was holding back a ball of anger. "This is another great victory for the Ye Party. I have no intention of watching."
When Tongpao Chen saw that he was angry but not acting, he deliberately incited him and said, "Think about it, what did those country squires do wrong? Because of this tyranny, people everywhere have been killed. It's so miserable."
"The emperor thinks they are in the way, so it's okay to remove them." Zeng Liang said helplessly.
"Well, the Emperor does not need to be involved in everything," Chen Tongpao said. "Although this matter has eliminated the disadvantages of annexation, it also means that these unruly people have no control. It is up to the Emperor to face the problems of the people. In the final analysis, it is still The Leafs have gone too far.”
