Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Great Zhou going north to fight the Khitan and sweeping the Hedong, Li Hongji used the navy to defeat the Wu Yue navy. At the battle of the Yangtze River Estuary, he burned more than 50 warships, captured 100 ships of all sizes and wiped out more than 1,000 people.

After this battle, the Southern Tang basically controlled the Yangtze River waterway. The navy of Wuyue Kingdom did not easily enter the Yangtze River. From Yangzhou to the estuary of the Yangtze River, all fell into Li Hongji's control.

It was precisely because of the control of the waterway that the Wu and Yue Kingdom became a turtle in the jar. Under the pressure of Li Hongji, they signed an alliance under the city. Wu and Yue praised the Southern Tang Dynasty, and at the same time cut off their relations with the Great Zhou and no longer paid tribute to the Great Zhou.

In addition, Li Hongji unilaterally cut off the tribute from the Khitan, and at the same time, he made a request to the Great Zhou, hoping to re-establish the border and form a good alliance forever.

He said it very well. His real purpose was nothing more than to abolish the achievements of Guo Wei's southern expedition to the Huai River. The Southern Tang Dynasty wanted to be on par with the Great Zhou, and it was no longer just a vassal state of the Great Zhou.

Once he succeeds, it will evolve into the situation of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Li Hongji has wealth in the south of the Yangtze River and natural dangers in the Yangtze River, so he may not be able to compete with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

I have to say that this kid does have some talent and tricks, he is a character, at least much better than his father!

In order to cope with the fierce Southern Tang Dynasty, Chai Rong convened a meeting of imperial prefectures to discuss countermeasures.

Among the ministers who came this time, there were several ministers from the Political Affairs Hall, Fan Zhi, the Minister of Personnel, Zhao Pu, who had just returned from Hebei, Han Xizai, who had just been appointed as the Chief Censor, and champion Hou Yehua.

Speaking of which, these people have official titles, and Ye Hua needs special orders to attend the imperial meeting, which seems very embarrassing.

But just two days ago, Chai Rong set up a hall called Huagai Hall not far from the Political Affairs Hall, with the addition of a Grand Secretary to assist the emperor and counselor of the machinery.

Everyone thought that the emperor would promote a Shuode veteran to take charge of the Huagai Hall and further divide the power of the Political Affairs Hall!

But Chai Rong claimed to the public that although Huagai Palace had the power to counsel the metropolitan police, its main business was to teach the prince. Now Guo Zongxun is five years old and is receiving enlightenment education in the Dazhou Academy. In addition, he needs to find a respected minister to teach and protect the prince.

When everyone heard this, they all understood.

No wonder the Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace has to participate in the maintenance service! It turns out that it is used to teach the prince. This is a very normal arrangement. When the prince becomes the emperor, the prince's master will inevitably enter the cabinet, and it is possible that he or she may even take charge of the Zhongshu. It is natural to participate in the government affairs in advance.

Now it depends on who can become the Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace!

The officials of the Political Affairs Hall were ready to go, and Fan Zhi might not have no idea. There were also some other officials from the middle and powerful sects who had fallen in love with this position and wanted to compete!

Whoever can teach the prince will master the future of the empire and must be active.

Everyone was thinking about how the emperor would choose, whether there were any standards, and how to compete for the position... But before they could make a move, Chai Rong directly announced that the Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace would be the champion Hou.

After this order, everyone vomited blood!

Champion Hou, a martial artist, what kind of grandpa he is? Is he qualified?

All the officials were in agitation and were yelling, "This Grand Secretary is too worthless!" They are not convinced!

However, Old Wei has always been more agile than ordinary people, "Oh, don't argue, the sage will have been obvious, you are confused! Look, Your Majesty said that the prince was enlightened at the Dazhou Academy. The Dazhou Academy was run by the Champion Hou, among which mathematics, astronomy, agriculture, and several textbooks were compiled by the Champion Hou. It is the most suitable for Ye Hua to be the Prince's Master!"

Although Old Wei said this, his heart was bleeding.

Ye Hua has been rampant for two dynasties, and all of these husbands have suffered losses in Ye Hua's hands.

Could it be that the next generation or Ye Hua has the final say?

Will people live?

Old Wei only had one hope left, that is, Chai Rong lived a few more years, and it would be best if he lived a hundred years. He could die before Chai Rong. I wouldn’t care about the rest. Ye Hua had the ability, so he could just poke a hole in the sky!

Ye Hua was very happy when the Political Affairs Hall was full of grief. Some time ago, he complained that there was no place to show his strength, so Chai Rong got him a seat, the Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace!

It’s only a fifth-rank, but it’s not enough to see it, but excluding the Huagai Palace, the word “Master” is left, which sounds much better.

"Madam, your man was also appointed by His Majesty. He is both civil and military! How about it, are you proud?"

Fu San had a dark face and reached out to his forehead.

"You are so happy to come out! Your Majesty asked you to teach the prince, I think what you should do?"

Ye Hua Wuyun shrugged, "What else can I do? You are the prince's aunt, and I am also his uncle. It's all a family and it's all done business!"

After Ye Hua finished speaking, he grabbed his black hat and went to the imperial meeting.

Fu San was left, his mouth was slightly opened, and he was stunned.

Of course Ye Hua was not wrong. Speaking of which, Guo Zongxun is the eldest sister's child and is closer to her, but in Fu San's heart, there is always a hurdle.

A few years ago, when she lived in Ye Mansion, Brother Guo Xing was still wearing open-crotch pants. The little guy ran behind his butt. Whenever he gave him some snacks, the little thing would call him sister crisply. In a blink of an eye, the little guy got bigger and smarter, and became adorable.

He is the blood of the Guo family, and the entire country is his!

My brother-in-law inherited the country of the late emperor. After a hundred years, will the country be given to Guo Zongxun? What should Brother Guo Xing do? What should the Ye family be stuck in the middle?

In theory, she should support Guo Zongxun, which is also the most beneficial choice for the Fu family, but no matter what, the hurdle in her heart is that she cannot overcome it.

Fu San was very upset, so she stepped out of the room and wanted to see the panda relax.

It happened that she found that Brother Guo Xing was commanding several craftsmen, busy.

He built a water truck in his mansion. Later, the river water in the garden drove a series of wooden mechanisms. The water truck was used to drive a string of wooden mechanisms. On the other end were mats woven from straw. There were five pieces in total and they were placed in a wooden trough.

Seeing Fu San coming out, Brother Guo Xing ran over happily.

"Sister-in-law, look, this is my latest work. It is much better than watering the manor outside the city." He happily introduced to Fu San, "The water wheel drives, and the straw mats will swing back and forth. If the straw mat is wet, the water mat can take away the temperature when the water evaporates... This is what my elder brother taught me, and I have tried it. Even at night, the house will not be too hot."

Fu San's eyes lit up, "Is this what you made?"

"Well, I designed it with a few classmates." Brother Guo Xing said: "I originally wanted to install it for the ancestor first, but the ancestor said that she is old and is not afraid of heat, so I asked me to install it for you first. In this way, you and your elder brother won't be hot at night."

What a caring child. Fu San was delighted and reached out to touch Brother Guo Xing's little head. Brother Guo Xing raised his head, "Sister-in-law, are you feeling lukewarm and unhealthy? You can get pregnant soon!"

Fu San's face turned red, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Brother Zhong told me that our family's bloody horses eat well and live well, so they get pregnant with a baby... Sister-in-law, you can't even get a horse, right? The ancestor is so anxious!"

After saying that, Brother Guo Xing suddenly found that Fu San's eyes were wide open and his hair was standing up. Brother Guo Xing turned around and ran away. Although he didn't know where he was wrong, he would die if he didn't run away...

"Congratulations to the Marquis, you have become the Grand Secretary and the Crown Prince's Master. It's so enviable!" Wei Renpu said indifferently.

Li Gu also teased, "The three dynasties are rich and the champion Hou is really amazing! I admire him!"

Ye Hua raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled, "Did you both forget who my master are? Tell you, do your work honestly, my duty room is opposite you, staring at you!"

After Ye Hua finished speaking, he swung his swagger and sat at the farthest place from the dragon throne.

Look at you, you are still a fifth-rank Grand Secretary, ranked last, why are you pretending to be a big clove of garlic? Li Gu was whispering in his heart, thinking that Ye Hua was not qualified to enter the Political Affairs Hall, and Chai Rong was worried that he was in charge of the army, so he got a Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace, and he was not calm to deal with it. If Ye Hua really thought that he had picked up gold, he would be stupid!

Look, if Your Majesty really suspects you, I have a hundred ways to make you unlucky!

Li Gu couldn't forget it. Ye Hua forced him to clear the land of Zhangzhang. Is it easy for me? In order to force him to clear the ancestral tombs of Li's family, the Li family's ancestral tombs were dug up, and the murderer was still not found!

No, this account must be taken into account by your kid!

Li Gu was sulking, but Wei Renpu looked nervous and showed a thoughtful look.

As long as you can participate in the maintenance, everyone will not distinguish between the front and back. It depends on who His Majesty the Emperor trusts more. His Majesty even entrusts the crown prince to Ye Hua. Whoever competes with him for his holy family is purely seeking death.

This kid never speaks empty words. He said that he would stare at the Political Affairs Hall and probably would have to draw his sword!

When Wei Renpu thought of this, he couldn't help but shrink his body and lowered his head. I hope he would not see me for the first time!

Everyone sat down and Chai Rong arrived soon.

The emperor was in a bad mood today, and his face was very serious. "My good friends, I just received an urgent report. In Chenzhou and Xuzhou, there were officials who had cleared the land and colluded with local gentry. The people of a village were dissatisfied with Qingzhang and went to the government to express their feelings, but they were regarded as bandits, and they mobilized people to wipe out the entire village! More than 300 people, no one left!"

What!

Almost everyone's eyes widened, so bold!

At this moment, the new Chief Censor Han Xizai stood up and said, "I have recently counted the reports of the Censors in various places. Some people have indeed impeached the officials and improperly employed people and harmed the people. I beg you to surrender your order to investigate thoroughly!" When Han Xizai said this, his eyes couldn't help but scan Li Gu.

The capital of the capital was the purse of the land, which was chaired by Li Gu. This is naturally the three departments!

Han Xizai!

You and I have been having a good relationship for decades. Your daughter came to visit me at the beginning. I am very happy!
Chapter completed!
