Chai Rong died, and followed the previous will and kept the funeral simple.

Grand Secretary Wang Pu and Wei Renpu agreed to the temple name Shizong and the posthumous title of Emperor Ruiwu Xiaowen, and were buried in Qingling. A great emperor passed away in a sad way.

Unlike many Emperor Yingrui who died, the court and the country were mixed up, and the prince fought for the throne, and blood flowed into a river. After Chai Rong's death, everything was smooth. Crown Prince Guo Zongxun inherited the throne under the support of his ministers.

After ascending the throne, Guo Zongxun was appointed as the Grand Tutor of Ye Hua and the Grand Tutor of Zhaowenguan, and the Grand Secretary of the National History. Wang Pu was appointed as the Grand Secretary of Jixian Hall, Wei Renpu, Fan Zhi and Li Si, and was in the same cabinet and the Imperial Service.

In this way, the situation of the five prime ministers was confirmed. Ye Hua was the prime minister, Wang Puci, and the remaining three were group prime ministers.

Although the current Great Zhou is calm on the surface, the old and the new are alternating, and the burdens of several Grand Secretarys are the heaviest.

Including Fan Zhi, they had to wait day and night to deal with the chaos of national affairs.

On the 50th day after Chai Rong was buried, someone suddenly came to report that the Grand Tutor Chai Shouli passed away at home.

Upon hearing this news, the five major scholars put down their work at hand, and looked very solemn and regretful. Especially the three old ones, they silently lowered their heads.

Chai Shouli was not very good in the early years, but Chai Shouli worked hard in his later years to build a fleet and make money overseas, and spent his efforts on his son's territory.

Especially on the last days, he was not untied and took care of his son. Although the time was short, he could feel that it was Chai Shouli's happiest time.

As a father, he doesn't need anything. As long as he can be with his son, he is very satisfied.

Since Chai Rong passed away, Chai Shouli has been as if she was sucked and her whole body is empty. He gritted his teeth and held on to wait for forty-nine days to pass... Only after the seventh day can Chai Shouli leave with peace of mind!

The old lady loves deeply and solemnly!

Old Wei couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. Without warning, Ye Hua walked to him, "Grandpa Wei, you go to the house to have a look!"

"I...I'm afraid it's inappropriate!"

Old Wei had long broken up with his family, and he was even more disgusted with the infamy just to push his son... At that time, Wei Renpu might not have expected that he would have a chance to make a comeback.

"Father and son are by nature, Mr. Wei, you are afraid that you understand the mood of Taifu Chai the most... Although the country must be governed strictly, you cannot ignore human feelings, especially father and son's family affection. Do you think so?" Ye Hua smiled and said, "If you feel shameless, then let me accompany you!"

"fart!"

Old Wei was so angry that he swears, "I am his father, so why are you shameless! I don't need to get involved in my family affairs!" After saying that, Mr. Wei hesitated again, "Now the state affairs are busy, I still have to be busy with the matters of the parliament...or..."

"You are still scared!" Fan Zhi walked over with a smile, "Brother Wei, go ahead, I will help you with your business."

Wang Pu and Li Si also came over and said with a smile: "There are no relatives in the world, father and son. Wei Xianmei is a talent that can be made. Guardian Wei should make a good on-demand broadcast. Don't let him feel guilty, be open and honest, and be a dignified official!"

Fan Zhi also said: "That's right, we old people can't hold on for long. If you father and son can worship the minister one after another, it will be a good story in the world!"

After the persuasion of the four people, Mr. Wei finally stood up and walked outside with big strodes. When he arrived at the door, he suddenly turned around, bowed deeply at the few people, and then resolutely went to the Wei Mansion.

Watching Lao Wei leave, everyone looked at each other and laughed. Fan Zhi said, "For many years, the Political Affairs Hall has always been intrigue and has not stopped for a moment. Most of the energy is spent on fighting each other. When will it be like today, and you can focus on your wholeheartedness!"

The old guest clenched his fists tightly, "We are the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the Chinese seedlings, are the most noble and intelligent people in the world. For thousands of years, we have overcome all obstacles and dominated the Central Plains. The four barbarians have been trembling and panic, and they all surrendered. Since the Anshi period, the vassal states have been separatist and the mutual severity has been given Shatuo, and the Khitan can take advantage of the opportunity to poison the Central Plains and harm living creatures... Looking at the gains and losses of all generations, if they are united, they will be invincible in the world, and if they are divided, they will be internal and external troubles, and they will be humiliated. The lessons are heavy!"

Wang Pu smiled and laughed, "Mr. Fan's great speech is very sharp! But everything is easy to say but difficult to do. People's hearts are like water, and people are like smoke. How to grasp everyone's hearts is quite laborious!"

Li Si said: "Aren't we doing this now, letting everyone enter the parliament, giving different groups of people and the power to express opinions, governing the country is to balance and coordinate and try to satisfy everyone." After he said that, he asked Ye Hua with a smile, "Junior brother, what do you think?"

Ye Hua thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's too difficult to satisfy everyone. I can only say, try to satisfy the Chinese people first. If it can't be done, it will satisfy most people in the country! If one day, the cabinet becomes a cabinet of gentry and officials, or a wealthy businessman, we will fail!"

Ye Hua's expression became particularly solemn... Obviously, a magic sword was raised high... It's time to kill someone!

Wei Mansion, Flower Hall.

Wei Xianmei bent, poured a glass of wine for her father, and then poured herself another glass.

"Dad, you have been wronged over the past few years. It's all because of your unfilial piety. Your child apologizes to your father!"

Old Wei waved his hand, "Okay, let alone useless. I'm afraid I can never help you again for my father's return to the court this time. Ye Hua asked me to organize a parliament. These representatives from all over the country and industries must be talented. They will definitely stare at the civil and military officials in the court and specifically look for your faults. If you kid falls into their hands, I'm afraid there is no reason to show mercy for your father!"

Wei Xianmei shook her head vigorously and laughed: "Don't worry, Father, I have already thought about it. After so many things, if I can't soar like an eagle, fight for the sky... I still need my father's wings to protect me, I really deserve to die!"

Wei Xianmei was full of confidence... In fact, since the old Wei did not hesitate to take his own flag and pushed his son, Wei Xianmei has been a spy and joined Zhao Pu's disciple.

In the past few years, he silently observed how Zhao Pu formed a clique for personal gain, how he pretended to be a tiger, and how he planned to rebel until he was completely defeated.

At the same time, Wei Xianmei was also feeling Ye Hua's ability to be elusive and moved above the sky!

After comparison, Wei Xianmei completely understood what it means to be a good fighter without great achievements.

Ye Hua never went to win over his party members. In the officialdom, relying solely on a large number of people and powerful people, he could not win. A truly wise man is good at creating momentum.

The so-called general trend is always going well!

What is the general trend?

The harmony between the king and the minister is the general trend!

As long as Chai MR and Ye Hua do not turn against each other, no one can beat them. All the foundations of Zhao Pu are based on the fact that the king and his subjects will eventually have a battle, and it is not surprising that they are defeated in a big way.

Then someone asks, is it difficult to maintain harmony between the monarch and the minister?

Of course it's difficult!

Two equally powerful people can only share hardships and never be rich.

The world is peaceful, and wise rulers and powerful ministers will inevitably fight to the death!

Don’t talk about feelings, even father and son will not work.

Maybe someone will ask again, since that's the case, what's going on with Ye Hua and Chai Rong? Are they two separated from the human category?

Of course not!

Ye Hua established the Great Zhou Academy many years ago, and later Qi Tongwen went to Beijing to run a school... A large number of neutral and objective scholars appeared in addition to the ministers.

They carefully studied the problems of the Great Zhou... They have many reports every year to remind Chai Rong that the situation of the farmers in the Great Zhou was and how bad the treatment of workers was. The merchant capitalists who had mastered absolute wealth kept corrupting officials... The rapid development of industry and commerce not only brought prosperity to the country and strengthened the army, but also brought countless problems. Each item could make the Great Zhou Dynasty doomed!

In contrast, the little conflict between the monarch and the minister may really be nothing!

"Dad, do you know, how many people in Jiangnan have starved to death since the beginning of winter last year?"

Wei Renpu's face changed color, "What did you say? Can anyone starve to death in Jiangnan?"

Wei Xianmei smiled bitterly and asked, "How can it be without it? Dad, Zhongyuan has formed a cooperative, which is not easy to deal with, but Jiangnan is not... Many merchants transported the grain from Hedong and other places to Jiangnan at low prices, and then sold it on a large scale to lower the price of grain!"

Low food prices are certainly a good thing for cities, but for grain farmers who are already difficult to survive, it is no less than a catastrophe!

"The price of grain is too low, and it works hard for a year, but it can't stand the income of working in the city for a month... Many farmers abandoned their land and entered the city to work!"

"Those rich people took the opportunity to annex the land to plant mulberry trees and cotton!" Old Wei was so keen that he immediately captured the key, "It's really easy to calculate. It's a low price of grain, and he got labor and land, killing two birds with one stone!"

Wei Xianmei shrugged, "Who said it was not? It was just that they did this and the countryside became more and more declining. It was not surprising that those who could not enter the city lived in poverty, the villagers went bankrupt, and some people starved to death!"

Wei Xianmei sighed: "I dare not say anything else. The champion Hou has a very clever view. Capital can only eat people! And it is a belt and bone, swallowing it alive, and not a polite!"

Wei Xianmei hummed and smashed the table, shaking the plate and bowls, and Old Wei also had a serious expression.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that they were so crazy that it seemed that the court was going to kill people again!"

Wei Xianmei shook her head, "Dad, people should be killed, but as long as they are profitable, there will be people who will continue to do it... The most urgent task is to immigrate to the outside world quickly and open up the market quickly, especially in Liaodong and Nanyang. One is fertile black soil, the other is rich in water and heat, and it can be cooked three times and four times a year. If people are moved out, the pressure on the land will be reduced. When the food outside comes in, the court can take out more resources to help the poor. Also, if the market is opened up and the power of capital is directed outside, it will not be able to harm the Great Zhou!"
