Chapter 975: Resignation
With a bang, a white piece fell on the chessboard. Han Zhong withdrew his hand and looked at Yun Zhao with a smile, "Prince, the overall situation is settled, you are powerless to make the world come true."
Yun Zhao looked at the killing of his big dragon on the chessboard with a frown, shook his head repeatedly, "I lost again, I lost again, when will I win a set?"
Han Zhong smiled, "Your Majesty, you are already amazing. How long have you been learning Go? It has already made me dumbfounded. The chessboard is like a battlefield. Your thoughts are as clever as you think. Weichen already feels that it is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with it. After a while, you can compete with those national players. Weichen is no longer an opponent."
"Don't coax me!" Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "You are completely passive in playing chess with me and rarely take the initiative to attack. As you said, a chessboard is like a battlefield. If you really fight, there is no such a humble thing. However, the black and white words are all the most ever-changing and ever-changing things, which is indeed worth exploring."
"Although there are many changes between black and white, it is still reasonable to find, and on the battlefield, there are even more changes in heaven and man. The famous coaches on the battlefield have only to immerse themselves in a little while and become chessboard masters. However, the so-called Go national player will be afraid that his eyes will be blank when he set foot on the battlefield. Therefore, this black and white play is ultimately a path, and it is a love affair. The prince should not spend too much effort on it. As a result of the excitement, he will kill two games, but there is no need to go deep into it." Han Zhong bowed slightly and said.
Yun Zhao supported his forehead and looked at Han Zhong, laughing: "Han Qing is advising me, I understand, I am really addicted to it during this period." He stretched out his hand to mess up the chess pieces, "Then let's stop here. As you said, it's so exciting. If you come to a few games, you can also be more interested in winning or losing. But you've fallen behind."
"The prince is wise!" Han Zhong bowed and said.
Yaerdan, who was sitting next to Yun Zhao, smiled and put away the chess piece, "It's mine. The prince didn't know how to play chess, but I dragged him into the water. Lord Han wanted to blame me, so blame me."
"I dare not speak nonsense about the joy of the boudoir!" Han Zhong said with a smile.
Yaerdan's face turned red, and he walked to the side with the chessboard and put it away. Wu Fancha pushed the door open at this time, "Prince, the Prime Minister asks for a visit!"
"Oh, Ye Kai wants to see me?" Yun Zhao was stunned, "But what did you say?"
"The chief minister didn't say it, but he came in casual clothes and it seemed not very happy!" Wu Fan said.
Yun Zhao nodded, "I understand, please come here by the Prime Minister."
Han Zhong stood up, "When the Chief Auxiliary comes, the Wei Minister will say goodbye first."
"It's good that you can avoid it. Ye Kai always comes to me because of business. When he comes to see me at this time and is wearing casual clothes, it's probably not business. If you are here, he will have no time to say." Yun Zhao said.
Looking at Han Zhong's back, Yaerdan said softly: "Han Zhong is a very smart person. He must have seen that the last moves you deal with were written by me behind your back, and you used them."
"If it weren't for your moves, I would have lost all the game." Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Those moves are now thought of, but they are just off-the-strikes. It's really strange to say that the chessboard is like a battlefield. I'm unbeaten on the battlefield, but I always have one move on the 19 lines."
"Didn't Han Zhong say that the chessboard is a small path, but the prince is a great path."
"You will be relieved, for nothing. This black and white drama will be enjoyable with you in the boudoir in the future, but I will not ask them to take care of them anymore. He is in pain and I am not happy either."
"The prince said that Han Zhong's chess is really painful. He dared not win big, but he did not dare to give in, for fear that you would see it. I was anxious when I watched this cautiously."
"He is thinking too much, just a game!" Yun Zhao waved his hand.
The sound of footsteps sounded outside the door, and Jaldan whispered: "I'll go back."
"Please, Master, please!" Wu Fan's voice sounded outside the door, and Ye Kai appeared next to the door. Yun Zhao stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Please, Master, Master, Master, Likun."
Ye Kai looked stern, and after entering the door, he bowed deeply to Yun Zhao, "Ye Kai has seen the prince."
"No need to be polite, Wu Fan, show the seat to the Prime Minister and serve tea!"
The host and guest sat down and looked at Ye Kai. Yun Zhao asked with a smile: "The chief assistant doesn't come to the door easily. I'm here to see you today, I don't know what's the price?"
Ye Kai was silent for a moment, "Prince, after the beginning of spring, will the Battle of the Southern Expedition officially begin?"
"Of course!" Yun Zhao nodded, "After the beginning of spring, the battle of the Southern Expedition will officially begin."
"When the previous court discussed, the prince once said that due to logistics supply reasons, this battle might be delayed until autumn. What prompted the prince to change his attention?"
"The plan can't keep up with the changes!" Yun Zhao coughed low. He was unwilling to let Ye Kai know about many things, "Some things have happened that allow us to be confident that we can defeat our opponents in one fell swoop under the current conditions and lay the foundation for the overall situation of victory in the Nanzheng. If the time is delayed too long, it may change."
"I understand." Ye Kai breathed a deep breath.
"Hmm?" Yun Zhao looked at Ye Kai curiously, "What did the Chief Supervisor understand?"
"Prince, Ye Kai has been a general for many years. Under such circumstances, if the prince decides to start a war, it must be that the other party has changed internally. Being a good person is not an incompetent person. He guards Tongzhou, and the prince is so confident, it is naturally because they have changed internally, either Tongzhou or in the south. In short, it is a place that can give them a fatal blow. The prince does not take a long time to defeat his opponent. Only in this way can the prince start a war when the logistics supply is not enough to support a large war, because the prince will not take this risk." Ye Kai sighed.
Yun Zhao frowned. He did not expect that Ye Kai could easily think of this most secret part. In the north, although all yamen and departments were preparing for the war after the beginning of spring, there were no more than ten people who knew the inside story so far. Among these ten people, Ye Kai would never be held, and the other party actually guessed it.
I smiled slightly, no denial, no affirmation.
Looking at Yun Zhao's appearance, Ye was as happy as he knew that the other party would not trust him at all. When he first came to the north, Zhengbei Prefecture seemed to respect him and the emperor very much. However, with the victory of the Zhengbei Army on the battlefield, this kind of respect has become less and less. As Yun Zhao returned to Xingling from the front line, the court meeting in the north was never held again. All the discussions were held in Zhengbei Prefecture, and these meetings were never notified to attend. He was the title of the chief minister, but it was a decoration.
Things are already very obvious.
"Prince, Ye Kai came here today and said goodbye to the prince." Ye Kai sighed and said in shock.
Yun Zhao stood up suddenly, and Wu Fan on the side also opened his mouth in surprise. Ye Kai was leaving? Where is he going?"
"Say your goodbye? Where are the prime ministers going?" Yun Zhao asked in surprise, "Is it because someone disrespects the prime ministers?"
Ye Kai shook his head, no one was disrespectful to him. When all the officials saw him, they would politely call the chief assistant and bow respectfully, but if it was reflected in official duties, it would be a complete indifference, no, ignorance.
"Yes, Ye Kai is old, not only tired, but also tired, and is really unable to serve as the chief minister, so he comes to resign from the prince. Please rest assured. Although Ye Kai resigns, he will not leave the northern land. Hearing that Gaoyang is beautiful, Ye Kai comes to ask the prince for a place to go there to support his old age. Ye's family will farm and study and pass on their own family, and grow and eat by themselves." Ye Kai said.
Yun Zhao held his fingers with his fingers, and in an instant, countless thoughts changed in his mind. Ye Kai was a smart man. He knew that once Tongzhou was broken, Shangjing would be completely under his control. That is to say, Dayue was over, the day when Dayue was over, that is, when the Li Dynasty ended, Ye Kai, as Li Jian's orphan, did not leave at this time, and at that time, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape. Perhaps Ye Kai was not afraid of death, but he still had a large family, several sons and nearly ten grandchildren. At that time, it was difficult to survive. He pulled away at this time, but he asked to go to Gaoyang, which was the place where the Northern Army trained, and his intention was naturally clear.
"Have the Chief Auxiliary decided?" Yun Zhao asked slowly.
"Yes, please help me!" Ye Kai bent down deeply.
"Well, since the Prime Minister's intention has been eliminated, I am not inconvenient to force myself to stay. After all, I will work together and get together and break up!" Yun Zhao knocked on the table, "Gaoyang is indeed a good place. I will ask Wang Gui, the governor of Yizhou, to choose a good place for you. The land will be prepared in advance by the village where the Prime Minister lives. However, life may be difficult if it is only a little land. Is this salary still paid to the Prime Minister's assistant."
"No need!" Ye Kai shook his head repeatedly, "If you are not in his position, you will not plan your own affairs, and you will not dare to receive salary again. You will not dare to hide it from the prince. Ye Kai has been a general for many years and has a small savings. Although there are many people in the family, they cannot be hungry."
"Since that's the case, I won't force myself to do anything. However, the young masters of the Ye family are all talented. Will the chief assistant not consider letting them continue to work for the court?" Yun Zhao said.
"Ye Kai has decided that the Ye family will make a living by studying in the future. If they have the opportunity, they can do business, but they will never be allowed to enter the officialdom and involve political affairs. So I can only thank the prince for his kindness!" Ye Kai seemed very determined.
"Where's good!" Yun Zhao said: "The Prime Minister decided according to the Prime Minister's wishes. After the Chinese New Year, I sent someone to escort the Prime Minister to Gaoyang. At that time, Wang Gui also prepared all the things that the Prime Minister needed."
"Thank you, Prince!" Ye Kai stood up, "Thus, Ye Kai said goodbye."
"Prime Minister Take care!" Yun Zhao said.
