Yu Wen Honghao's resignation was actually tantamount to voluntarily giving up the control of the power that Zhu Feng had worked hard for many years. This huge power included officials and businessmen of Yan State, as well as many great masters and masters of Yan State. There are a large number of people in the Yan Kingdom who support Zhu Feng, which is enough to affect the structure of half of the Yan Kingdom.

When Yu Wen Honghao elected the prince's uncle as prime minister, it meant giving up these powers. You must know that they have been fighting with the prince's family for many years, and the two sides are almost in a balance. Once the uncle becomes the prime minister, the huge number of the prince's family will be The power will become a dominant one.

"Prime Minister Yuwen, are you kidding me? Do you know what is the first thing I will do after I become prime minister? Think carefully before talking to me." The uncle sneered. Of course he did not believe Yu Wenhong. Hao's words.

Although Zhu Feng is currently dead, as long as Zhu Feng's confidant Yuwen Honghao is in the position of prime minister, it will still be very difficult for the prince's faction to expand their sphere of influence and control more power in the Yan Kingdom, at least in the short term. Can't do it.

To a certain extent, Yuwen Honghao is more difficult to deal with than Zhu Feng himself. This man is very resourceful. The reason why Zhu Feng has been able to run the Yueyuehua Restaurant with peace of mind during these years is precisely because of Yuwen Honghao's huge help. Zhu Fengren was abroad and left almost all domestic affairs to Yu Wen Honghao to take care of.

"Uncle Guo, when you become prime minister, the first thing you do is to execute all the people under the Crown Princess and carry out a purge." Yu Wen Honghao looked calm and told a cruel and bloody fact, "Among them Including me. You will be the first to kill me, but I no longer care.

Yu Wen Honghao said sincerely: "Now is the time to give up the internal fighting and fight against the Great Zhou Dynasty together. No matter how much you hate the empress, she is dead now, in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If we swallow our anger, we will definitely be beaten by other people. If the country looks down on you, the people of Yan will not be able to hold their heads up wherever they go in the future.”

"Prime Minister Yuwen, I will discuss this matter with the prince. You can go back for the time being and wait for news." Yuwen Honghao finally gave an answer.

"Then I'll wait for your news." Yuwen Honghao left with his attendants.

The uncle stood in front of the prince's palace door, watching Yu Wen Honghao leave, with a sneer on his lips.

Halfway through, one of Yu Wen Honghao's attendants finally couldn't help but asked: "Prime Minister, you can give up your position as prime minister, but you must not hand over your military power. Once we lose our military power, we will be completely doomed."

"Are you afraid of death? If you are afraid of death, I will allow you to leave now." Yu Wen Honghao, who was feeling depressed, responded. This attendant has followed him for many years and is his right-hand man. Even husband and wife can't share joys and sorrows, and they can go their separate ways when disaster strikes. He doesn't expect all of his subordinates to be as willing to sacrifice everything for the Crown Princess as he is.

"Master Prime Minister, the Crown Princess promoted you back then, and you promoted me, otherwise I would have died on the way to escape. I am not afraid of death, but your subordinates think it is too hasty for you to hand over military power so easily. "

Yu Wen Honghao said helplessly: "We don't have much choice. If we continue to bargain, it will only delay the princess's revenge. You saw it just now. Even if I am willing to hand over military power and give up the position of prime minister, my uncle will not be able to do anything." I didn't agree on the spot. As the prince may wake up, these chips are very important to us, but they may not be the most valuable chips to Uncle Guo and others." Just now, Yu Wen Honghao noticed Uncle Guo's look, and the other party looked at him. The conditions proposed, although showing a certain degree of desire and excitement, as well as a little surprise, were completely inconsistent with his psychological expectations. The prince's uncle was a man who regarded his position of power as more important than his life. He should have been more excited.

At that time, the old King of Yan looked at the prince's face and gave the uncle an opportunity to make a contribution and put down a rebellion that broke out in the Yan Kingdom. At that time, the scale of the rebellion was not large, and the number of rebels was only 20,000 or 30,000. However, King Lao Yan gave him 200,000 elite soldiers and generals, which was almost a huge credit to him.

The uncle immediately took his three sons and an army of 200,000 to the place where the rebellion broke out. However, the uncle was incompetent and his three sons lacked actual combat experience. He insisted on going his own way on the battlefield and did not listen to the opinions of the military adviser and deputy generals. The result was a disastrous defeat. Among the 200,000 troops, 150,000 were captured and 50,000 were killed or injured. , causing the worst shame and humiliation in the history of Yan State, and for a time became a laughing stock among other countries.

When the news came back to the capital of Yan State, the old King Yan was furious and threatened to demote his uncle to a commoner. Unexpectedly, in order to appease the anger of the old King Yan and keep his title, the uncle actually killed his three sons and returned to the capital with the three heads, performing a drama of pleading guilty. Seeing this situation, King Lao Yan could only let his uncle go without demoting him to a commoner.

Therefore, just now Yuwen Honghao discovered that Uncle Guo's attitude was a bit strange. It is a fact known to the whole world of Yan State that the uncle of the state covets the position of prime minister. The purpose of defeating the traitors and establishing meritorious deeds was precisely to compete for the position of prime minister and take charge of the government.

Later, Zhu Feng took control of the Yan State, and the uncle tried every means to please Zhu Feng, hoping to serve as prime minister. At that time, wherever Zhu Feng went, the uncle followed him, almost begging, without any respect or dignity from the uncle. .

However, the position of prime minister was extremely important, and Zhu Feng naturally could not give it to him. The uncle completely turned to the prince family and became Zhu Feng's enemy in the future, confronting her tit for tat at every turn. He firmly opposed what Zhu Feng wanted to do, and he firmly supported what Zhu Feng opposed. In short, he would do anything crazy to bring Zhu Feng down.

But just now, when the uncle learned that he could become the prime minister, he showed more distrust than excitement and ecstasy. This made Yu Wen Honghao a little puzzled. But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any reason for the other party to refuse. Shouldn't he agree directly and readily?

Yu Wen Honghao was now exhausted both mentally and physically. He didn't want to think about these things anymore. He only thought about revenge. He smiled bitterly and said: "Let's go and keep vigil for the empress. Alas, the old King Yan passed away. If the empress hadn't supported her all these years, the Yan Kingdom would She may have been ruined by this group of people a long time ago. My empress's achievements are comparable to those of any emperor in the history of Yan State. Now that she is dead, she cannot enter the imperial temple, cannot be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and does not even deserve a state funeral. "

Yuwen Honghao felt miserable in his heart. Looking up, the sky suddenly became gloomy.

"It's strange. The sky was clear just now, but it suddenly rained." (End of Chapter)
