Wuqi stepped forward and grabbed the door knocker of Ye's house, knocked hard for a few times, and soon he saw someone open the door.

"What is the value of your husband?" The man was very polite. Seeing the appearance of the fifth scholar, he bowed.

"I came here yesterday and saw that there was an imperial guard in front of your mansion. Why did I disappear today?" Di Wuqi asked.

"Oh, I retreated last night."

"I retreated last night..." Di Wuqi was a little stunned.

He discussed with Cen Shen for half a night last night. When he tried to solve the crisis in front of Ye Chang, the two made three different plans according to Cen Shen's insistence and deduced all possible situations. But no matter how much they thought, they did not expect that overnight, the imperial guards that had originally surrounded Ye's house would suddenly withdraw.

"What's going on?" Di Wuqi came back to ask Cen Shen, with some reproach in his words: "He left overnight, and Ye Sima looked like he was holding Zhizhu. He should know that this would be the result, right?"

"I don't know..." Cen Shen scratched his head.

"Ye Sima sent you to my side, and who else did he instructed him to do what he did?"

"This...just ask Ye An to arrange matters of the Andong Chamber of Commerce..."

"Anton Chamber of Commerce...so that's it"

Wuqi suddenly realized, but Cen Shen himself was still a little puzzled. Di Wuqi murmured something, his eyes shining because he suddenly felt that he seemed to understand what Ye Chang said that Cen Shen reposted.

Economics determine power in the court

Economics is the broad meaning of financial management. In other words, Ye Chang said that whoever makes the most money will have the greatest influence on the court.

Why was the Emperor of Tang Dynasty the supreme? Because the whole world had to pay taxes to him. If he had money and food, he could raise soldiers and generals and stay in the throne of the emperor.

Ye Chang had the Andong Chamber of Commerce. With the Andong Chamber of Commerce, he integrated a large number of forces that seemed to be a mess in Chang'an City. Although these forces do not have a common political goal, they already have common political interests, that is, the Andong Chamber of Commerce must continue to make money. At present, Ye Chang is the only one who can ensure that the Andong Chamber of Commerce continues to make money.

If Li Linfu did his best to remove Ye Chang, these shareholders of the Anton Chamber of Commerce would weigh the pros and cons and think it would not be worth fighting against Li Linfu for the sake of a profit of hundreds or thousands of yuan a year. Everyone would only find ways to squeeze the final value of the Anton Chamber of Commerce.

But the situation yesterday afternoon made everyone realize that Li Linfu's method of Ye Chang was still mostly a harsh element, and it was not like turning against each other immediately. Since this is the case, they will of course become active, especially in the face of Ye An's new stock raising plan of the Anton Chamber of Commerce, they were all salivating.

Under such circumstances, everyone would naturally lend a helping hand, and it would be only a blink of an eye to transfer the Dragon Martial Army.

But after Ye Chang withdrew from the Longwu Army, he still went out early in the morning. Where would he go?

After listening to Di Wuqi analyzing the relationship, Cen Shen sighed: "I don't think I'm a person like me to work in Beijing. There are too many twists and turns in it, and I can't play it. Not only I can't play it, even Wang Dalang can't play it. However, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Di Wu may not be afraid of the dangers of the storm."

Wu Qi also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm not much better than you, I usually realize it later... But I asked where Ye Sima had gone just now, but the people inside didn't tell me that you are Ye Sima's amsuer. I think you won't hide it from you, so why not ask? If there is a discussion by Ye Sima in this mansion, please bring out a volume and let me take a sneak peek."

"Since I'm here, I'll go in and wait, just books, some of them." Cen Shen saw a false alarm and greeted Di Wuqi: "I was treated by the fifth man yesterday, and I'll let me entertain the fifth man today."

Wuqi followed him back to the door. When he knocked on the door, the person who received him came out just now. When he saw Cen Shen, he immediately said happily: "Mr. Cen is back."

"That's right, Sima... This fifth man was asked by Sima to invite me."

"Oh, the fifth duke, I was just rude, Sima went to Prince Li's house."

"Go to the Li Xianggong Mansion again?" Cen Shen was surprised: "Isn't it a bit unsuitable to go to the Li Xianggong Mansion at this time?"

Wu Qi was also in a fog, and he felt it was a little incredible.

Regardless of whether Li Linfu really wanted to turn against him, his various pressures yesterday seemed to be insufficient with the withdrawal of the Longwu Army. Ye Chang could be said to have regained the situation, and what he should do next seemed to have to stop and act in secret. He went straight to Li Linfu's mansion again, which seemed to be demonstrating to Li Linfu.

With Ye Chang's current situation, he has the ability to protect himself, but if he wants to fight back against Li Linfu, he is a little overestimated.

At this time, Ye Chang was indeed on Li Linfu's moon hall. Li Linfu was talking to him with a smile, but he was still talking about some romance and romantic affairs just like yesterday. When Ye Chang talked about serious matters, Li Linfu would inevitably change the topic.

Ye Chang had no time and energy to play these tricks with the old politician Li Linfu, so he stood up and said, "Li Xianggong, Sima Yuan Highway in Dengzhou, can be the governor of Dengzhou."

"Dengzhou is a good place to go near the sea. I heard that Emperor Wu of Wei is facing Jieshi in the east..." Li Linfu said nonsense and wanted to talk about nothing, but found that Ye Chang's eyes were firm. After saying that, he stared at him without saying a word. Li Linfu's eyebrows trembled slightly.

The young man in front of him was still allowed to play with him two years ago. If he wanted to take the blame, he had to betray Wei Jian, Huangfu Weiming and Wang Zhongsi's infamous little character. Just a year ago, he had to report any thoughts and ideas to himself and gain his recognition.

But now, in just such a short time, he has grown up. Although it is not enough to compete with him, it is already difficult to imagine that he is used as a chess piece.

"The court has its own institutional constraints. You said that the Yuan Highway can be the governor. Could it be that the court's title and salary have become your family?" Li Linfu's voice was very light, his face was smiling, but his words were extremely sharp: "Shiyilang, I have been a general outside for a long time, and it seems that he has been infected with the domineering of the generals."

Ye Chang was still silent and just stared at Li Linfu.

Li Linfu stopped the smile on his face and was stared at by a young man who was dozens of years younger than him so aggressively, which made him feel extremely unhappy. Not to mention that his intention to call Ye Chang as his son-in-law has faded. Even if Ye Chang is really his son-in-law, such arrogance will make him feel grudged.

"The position of the general manager of the Liaodong Marine General Office will be given a real title." Li Linfu said slowly: "Meng Lingcha will be transferred from Anxi Jiedu to Liaodong."

He saw Ye Chang's pupils suddenly shrink, and he secretly felt happy in his heart. His judgment was correct. Liaodong was the foundation of Ye Chang, and only this is the key to his throat.

As for what Ye Chang said before, Li Linfu now doesn’t believe in the matter of building ships and going to sea to seek immortality in Lushun.

"Meng Lingcha is a long-time general in the border area. He is the general manager of Liaodong. Don't worry, I am at ease." Li Linfu said lightly without waiting for Ye Chang to speak: "The governing office of Liaodong General Manager is located in Beisha City."

"The prefect of Dengzhou was succeeded by Yuan Xian. Since Yuan Highway was talented, the court would not treat him unfairly. He chose Shangzhou as the governor in the pass."

Compared to the use of the Longwu Army yesterday, the two personnel appointments and removals mentioned by Li Linfu today are the real threats to Ye Chang.

Meng Lingcha is a long-time general on the frontier. He served in Hexi and Anxi, and had a group of bones in his hands. He transferred him to Liaodong and allocated military equipment and food and salary. It won’t take long to build a troops in Liaodong that were far better than Jilizhou Army. Moreover, in the name of the court, the Jilizhou Army, Jian'anzhou Army, Xiangyang Guard, Jilizhou Governor and Training controlled by Ye Chang were all under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong marching general, which means that Ye Chang's military power was deprived of Ye Chang's military power.

Yuan Xian replaced Yuan Highway as the chief official of Dengzhou, and controlled the main traffic route to Liaodong. In this way, merchants and goods returning to the Central Plains of Liaodong and those who moved to Liaodong were all closely watched. Ye Chang's immigration and dumping would no longer be as smooth as they are now. Moreover, Ye Chang knew that Yuan Xian was one of Li Linfu's confidants and was friendly to Wang Wei. He was originally Secretary Li Linfu and was appointed as the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, but because his brother violated the law, he was implicated by him and was demoted to the Sihu of the Handong. This person was a close confidant of Li Linfu. He placed him in Dengzhou and had a very obvious surveillance.

This is an exchange, and Ye Chang understands this very well. If he wants to retain his duties in Liaodong, or even if he wants to return to Liaodong safely, he must agree to these conditions-even if Li Linfu doesn't have to agree to these conditions.

Ye Chang took a breath and narrowed his eyes.

"Meng Lingcha is familiar with the affairs of the Western Regions. Now Anxi is fighting fiercely with Xiao Bolu. To mobilize Meng Lingcha to Liaodong, how should the Anxi war situation be handled?"

The first question of Ye Chang surprised Li Linfu. What he said was not bargaining, but considering the situation in the Western Regions. Li Linfu couldn't help but squint his eyes and looked at Ye Chang carefully.

This junior really looks a bit like himself. Even if he has selfishness, he should first put state affairs first.

Li Linfu himself treated himself like this. Although he was ridiculed as ignorant of being ignorant, he himself believed that his selfishness was also for the sake of the country. When Li Longji was most respected by him, he directly ordered ten people when he appointed officials in the court and asked the court to grant officials. Others did not speak out because of this old example, but only he thought it was inappropriate and denounced one of them to show justice. He himself promoted from a minor official, so he was very disliked the so-called "artist" who had reached the top with one or two poems.

"Gao Xianzhi can subdue her husband to Lingcha." Li Linfu said.

Ye Chang was a little silent. Indeed, Gao Xianzhi, a Goguryeo man, might be more suitable for being the governor of Anxi than Fu Menglingcha. Although Li Linfu has strong selfishness, he appointed Hu people and poor men as border generals to block the road to becoming prime ministers, but his vision of appointing people is still very accurate. An Sishun, An Lushan, Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan and others have all had great military achievements.

However, because these people are Hu people, they often do not worry about the lives of Tang soldiers. An is like this, but Gao Xianzhi and Ge Shuhan are also like this. Li Linfu's vision is limited to military talents, and his selfishness makes it impossible for him to appoint Wang Zhongsi and others who are more suitable than those.

"Meng Lingcha cannot go to Liaodong, and Yuanxian cannot go to Dengzhou." After a while, Ye Chang slowly said.

"How do you stop me?" Li Linfu smiled and said.

"An Lushan must stop Meng Lingcha, why should I do something?" Ye Chang looked at Li Linfu in the face and said, "Meng Lingcha has no ability to govern and comfort the people. How can he govern Liaodong only by relying on the hundreds of confidants he brought from Anxi?"

Ye Chang knew that Li Linfu was a smart person and had a thorough understanding of the problem, so he did not hide it. He said it very directly. Now An Lushan is controlling Fan Yang and Ping Lu's army. Even Ye Chang has mastered the profits and Jian'an two prefectures. He would come to compete with Ye Chang in a hurry. Moreover, if Meng Lingcha becomes the general manager of Liaodong, he might have to separate Ping Lu's army. He will definitely put all his strength to obstruct this appointment.

There was An Lushan obstruction outside and Ye Chang was not cooperating inside. Even if Meng Lingcha took office in Liaodong, he would not be at ease.

"As soon as Yuan Xian arrived, the profits of the Andong Chamber of Commerce will be damaged. Now I will send a report on the income of the chamber of commerce to Chang'an every quarter. The noble daughters in the court saw that the profits were sharply reduced. How could Yuan Xian have been in Dengzhou for a long time? If the March is insufficient, it will be even more popular with others. The one who harms is not me, but the name of the real man."

Ye Chang's second sentence made Li Linfu smile bitterly.

He looked at this young man he was optimistic about again.

Before he knew it, this young man, with his ability to make money, formed a group in the court with him as the bond. At first, Li Linfu did not notice the formation of this interest group. When he realized it, he found that the group seemed to have lost control.

At least if he does not use all his resources and is ready to kill a thousand people and harm himself, he will not be able to truly oppose the group.

"Since that's the case, we don't have to talk about it anymore." Li Linfu said: "You are now very powerful, and the saint will see you soon. I think that when I come to Liaodong and Dengzhou, the saints will also have arrangements, so I don't need to worry about it."

Now it was Ye Chang's turn to smile bitterly.

He could use the interests of the Anton Chamber of Commerce to check and balance Li Linfu, but he could not use this to fight against Li Longji's intention.

"In the opinion of Mr. Li, what should I do?"

"Don't ask me how I am, I ask you how I can." Li Linfu said.

Ye Chang lowered his eyelids slightly, thinking about what kind of concessions he could make. For Li Linfu, giving more money every year is no longer of great significance, so what kind of concessions he hopes he will make?

"You don't have to hurry, you can go back and think slowly." Li Linfu took the gentleman again, stroked his beard and smiled, "Shiyilang, just think about it before the saint meets you..."

"I will stay in Chang'an from now on." Ye Chang raised his head and suddenly said.

As soon as this said, Li Linfu was so shocked that he used some force on his hand and tore off a few of his beards, which made him almost scream.

Ye Chang's meaning is obviously not to stay in Chang'an for a few days, but to stay in Chang'an for a long time. Doesn't this mean that he is willing to leave Liaodong for the time being?
