Brother Guo Xing entered the palace, but did not see Chai Rong, but asked Zhao Pu to stop him.

"Your Highness, the saint has just taken medicine and has already fallen asleep. I can't bear to disturb the saint, so I can only ask the saint to go to the side palace to rest and wait for His Majesty to wake up."

Brother Guo Xing frowned and seemed very unhappy. He had no good impression of Zhao Pu, especially recently, this guy jumped up and down, as if he was holding the power of the court. What was he!

Your Majesty summoned him and said he had fallen asleep and he would not see him!

Is it because someone takes power to stop him and prevents him from entering, or is it because someone fakes the imperial edict?

At this moment, Brother Guo Xing thought a lot... Don't think that a person who can easily learn calculus is a fool. He just doesn't care about the court. But in the current situation, even a fool can know something is wrong. Brother Guo Xing really wants to have an attack, but a few days ago, Ye Wu personally sent him a letter. Ye Hua wrote it clearly in the letter. No matter what happens, he must be a wooden sculpture, not to say a word, let alone do anything.

"Brother, don't harm me!"

Brother Guo Xing muttered silently and followed the eunuch to the side hall.

The smile on Zhao Pu's face disappeared the moment Brother Guo Xing turned around, and was replaced by solemnity and coldness. The King of Shang was over 20 years old and had started a family and a career. He lost the opportunity to invest in his relationship. Those people wanted to restore the bloodline of the late emperor, but Zhao Pu was not interested at all.

He had a bigger plan in his mind... three people were qualified to attack the throne at the moment, the crown prince was the first, followed by His Highness the King of Shang, the son of the late emperor, and the strongest champion Hou Yehua!

Under Zhao Pu's men, at least three kinds of power have been gathered. First of all, his mysterious allies and important financial supporter are those who support Guo Xingge.

Zhao Kuangyin and other military generals who had just won over were hoping that Ye Hua would ascend to the throne and become emperor and put on a yellow robe.

Among civil officials, many people still adhere to the patriarchal law, and the father dies and the son succeeds, and the prince is a well-deserved candidate.

But in Zhao Pu's opinion, these three people are not good choices.

Needless to say, Ye Hua, and Brother Guo Xing can't do it either.

As for the prince, he is not young anymore, he is very interested and difficult to control.

The ideal thing is to take advantage of this chaos to get all three people out... but it is a big problem to attack whom.

Among the three, the easiest person to deal with is Brother Guo Xing... As long as you spread news that someone wants to support him ascend the throne, you can pretend to be Chai Rong and destroy Brother Guo Xing.

But the problem is that the most important force in Zhao Pu's hands is to support Brother Guo Xing. If you get rid of him first, your own power will collapse... Since he is the easiest to deal with, it is better to put it in the end.

But how to deal with the remaining two people? Should we first abolish the position of crown prince, or to get rid of Ye Hua?

Zhao Pu was undecided, and at this moment, the door suddenly rang, and Zhao Pu was startled. He hurriedly restrained his mind and went over to open the door, and found that it was Lao Wei who was standing outside.

Compared to the past, Wei Renpu has grown much older, his white face turns dark red, and some age spots have appeared. He bent his body, his back is hunched, and he is waiting outside honestly.

When Zhao Pu saw it, he hurriedly bowed, "Grandpa Wei, I'm right for the rest of my life!"

Old Wei hurriedly bowed, "The Chief Auxiliary treats me so much that I am so grateful that I can't repay you!"

As he said that, Wei Renpu wiped his tears.

Zhao Pu was surprised by Wei Renpu's appearance and invited him in. Old Wei was flattered and walked into the duty room. It seemed like a different life... Maybe he was old, so he couldn't control his mouth. Old Wei was nagging and told about his experience of leaving Beijing.

When you have power and power, you will be very good. Once you are in a downturn, the phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken!

Old Wei asked himself, he was pretty good to his hometown people, so he reduced taxes and allocated funds to pave roads and build bridges. As a result, the hometown people heard that he was exempted from his post and returned home, and they all looked at him with the corner of their eyes.

The dignified prime minister actually had to grow and eat by himself. Fortunately, two old servants were there to accompany him, otherwise Wei Renpu would have gone hungry!

"Master Yuan Fu, I can return to the capital entirely by Yuan Fu's merit. I used to have some regrets to Yuan Fu. I hope there are many people in Yuan Fu. Don't worry about me, I will apologize to you!"

As he said that, Wei Renpu actually wanted to bow down and kowtow.

Zhao Pu quickly helped him, with a smile on his lips, and he was about to be happy. This old man actually bowed to him! I, Zhao Pu, waited for this day!

Wei Renpu in the past was so arrogant and domineering that he relied on his old ministers in the two dynasties to rampantly run the cabinet, so how could he take these younger generations into consideration?

Times have changed, and the era of Lao Wei has ended. Only when you have suffered from it can you realize the taste of power. If you lose power, you will be a bad old man who is no one respects. With power, you will be a Grand Secretary under one person!

So don’t lose power if you lose anything!

Zhao Pu was almost sure that Wei Renpu had completely admitted defeat. He was now just an old dog who was waving his tail and begging for mercy, waiting for him to throw a few bones into his stomach!

"Grandpa Wei, the chief minister is still Wang, don't recognize the wrong person!"

Wei Renpu hurriedly said, "Wang Pu is over 60 years old, and he may be able to live better than me! What's more, he married Ye Hua and violated the emperor's taboo. I heard that he went to Xiu Jirang to be the first minister sooner or later, and he is not Zhao Gong's. I still have to rely on Zhao Gong's protection."

"Hahaha, Mr. Wei is polite. There is an old man in the family, as if he has a treasure. Even young son wants to listen to Mr. Wei's guidance sooner or later." Zhao Pu reluctantly said a few polite words. In his ears, there was only hypocrisy and pretentiousness. However, Wei Renpu was so grateful that he was about to cry again.

Zhao Pu pondered for a while and smiled, "Grandpa Wei, you just mentioned the marriage between Wang Pu and Ye Hua. I wonder what you think of these two people?"

Wei Renpu hesitated a little and hurriedly said, "In theory, people with rotten wood should not talk nonsense, but Yuan Fu asked, only knowing everything is enough. Wang Pu only knows how to work and doesn't understand the overall situation. It's nothing great. Ye Hua, he is only thirty now! How many people are still studying and taking the imperial examination at this age, but he is already an important official in both dynasties. Tsk, it's amazing!"

Wei Renpu said this, but his expression was full of poison. His fall had a deep connection with Ye Hua... For many years, Old Wei has often opposed Ye Hua, but at that time Zhao Pu was still Ye Hua's maid. Now his identity is changing, and things in the world are so interesting!

Zhao Pu still valued Wei Renpu's talent very much. Just by his strong support for Guo Wei to fight back and enter Kaifeng, it is enough to show Lao Wei's strength.

When changing dynasties, we still have to rely on the wisdom of our predecessors.

Zhao Pu wanted to say it, but he held it back. He still had to observe whether Wei Renpu was really reliable!

In the next few days, the prince, the two princes, and the cabinet ministers took turns to serve the disease... Chai Rong's condition became more and more serious day by day, and the edema spread to his legs, without anyone to support him, and it was difficult for him to walk.

Chai Rong's diabetes is coming in full force, but His Majesty the Emperor does not know how to control his diet. In addition, he frequently takes magical pills. In recent days, his eyes have been blurred and it is difficult to see things.

After losing his eyesight, the True Dragon Emperor became a blind waste. Chai Rong's irritable temper completely broke out. He cursed people every day, and everyone would be scolded. He often poked eunuchs and palace maids, which made everyone in the palace feel in danger.

At this point, even fools can see that His Majesty is really silly and is not far from death.

During the days of serving the sick, Old Wei sighed frequently, looking worried.

Finally, he came to see Zhao Pu on the voluntary day.

"Yuan Fu, the saint's illness is so severe that soon after, the prince will succeed to the throne. I am afraid that the champion Hou will become a veteran of the three dynasties!"

Zhao Pu didn't expect that Old Wei would take the initiative to mention it, and he would pretend, "Grandpa Wei, Your Majesty dreamed that the people with Fire Deity would replace the Great Zhou Dynasty a few days ago, so he was full of suspicion... I think even if the prince succeeded to the throne, he would be wary of this person with Fire Deity!"

Wei Renpu waved his hands repeatedly, "Yuan Fu was wrong to think so. I know very well that although the death of Queen Fu had something to do with Ye Hua, the prince did not hate Ye Hua for this. On the contrary, he relied on this master even more... As long as the prince succeeded to the throne, he would definitely reuse Ye Hua. He also held the title of Grand Secretary of Jixian Palace. No one could stop him from entering the cabinet at that time!"

Zhao Pu browsed deeply, "Grandpa Wei, since that's the case, what can you do?"

Wei Renpu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I am really powerless. If Ye Hua became the chief minister, I would be afraid that people like me would not have the chance to gain a foothold in the court."

Wei Renpu was in a state of disgrace and desolate manner, just like a white-headed palace maid, without power or power. What can he do?

Zhao Pu looked at Wei Renpu carefully. After a long time, he suddenly said quietly: "Grandpa Wei, what if Ye Hua is removed first!"

Wei Renpu's eyes widened in an instant, and his turbid pupils became clear.

"What? Get rid of him? How to remove him?"

Zhao Pu suddenly took out an imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Renpu, "This is His Majesty's secret edict, let me get rid of Ye Hua, old husband, what do you think you should do?"

Wei Renpu was trembling and looked at the will carefully, with great joy and anxiety.

"Yuan Fu, with this will, Ye Hua's life will be gone, but it's not time to go, and you must not miss the opportunity!"

Zhao Pu asked in surprise: "Grandpa Wei, do you think you want to take action immediately?"

"Yuan Fu, do you think Ye Hua has no eyes and ears in the palace? It's not time to go, but it will change!"

Zhao Pu held the imperial edict and thought about it again and again, "Then I will send someone to pass the imperial edict now, in the name of publishing the imperial edict, I will invite Ye Hua to the palace, and then get rid of him at Xuande Gate!"

"Wonderful!" Old Wei gave a thumbs up, "What should I do if I am clean and neat!"

Zhao Pu thought for a while and said, "I asked Shen Yilun to promulgate the imperial edict... I just got rid of Ye Hua, but earth-shaking events will inevitably cause turmoil in the court and panic. Mr. Wei must stabilize the hearts of others for me!"
