Chapter 216

Thinking that ye Tiancheng wanted to plot against himself, Yan Liqiang felt funny at first, but in the twinkling of an eye, he understood that in Ye Tiancheng's eyes, he was just a 15-year-old boy of an ordinary family.

His age and strength may be excellent among his peers in Pingxi County, but in the eyes of people like Ye Tiancheng, he is almost the same as the little white rabbit in the eyes of the big gray wolf, which is a good object for him to attack his mind.

"Sheriff, what's the use of saying this now?" Yan Liqiang sighed and looked at Ye Tiancheng in the room. "You are now a prisoner next to the patrol Envoy Sun, and I am the attendant next to the patrol envoy. Your Ye family has been uprooted by Ganzhou governor Shi Leisi and adults. Although I am young and haven't seen much of the world, you don't think you can buy me now?"

"My post of prefect is appointed by the imperial court. No one except the imperial court, even Shi leisitong of Ganzhou, can remove me. Although sun Bingchen is an inspection envoy, he has only the responsibility of inspection, not the right to announce and transfer. Even if I have a problem, he can respond to the imperial court rather than take me down. At the moment, what they have done has exceeded their power, As long as there is no official order from the imperial court, my identity at the moment is still the Sheriff of Pingxi county. As soon as I arrive in the imperial capital, the prime minister will be able to make decisions for me and the Ye family, help me clear my grievances, return my innocence, and return our Ye family justice! " Ye Tiancheng looked solemn and generous. If ordinary people were deceived by him.

"Sheriff, do you know why Lord Sun asked me to come here to watch you?" Yan Liqiang sneered, "you still want to go to the imperial capital. It's good if you can get out of Ganzhou with your life. Lord leisitong may have thought of hundreds of ways to kill you in Ganzhou. You'd better pray that God can let you leave Ganzhou alive. Besides, what if you live to the imperial capital? Lord Sun is sent by the Emperor..."

"As soon as you hear this, you know, little brother. You probably don't understand the situation of the Great Han Empire and the imperial capital?" Ye Tiancheng in the room looked at Yan Liqiang with a strange look, "do you want me to tell you so that you can understand!"

"What does the situation between the Han Empire and the imperial capital have to do with you?"

"My Ye family and I Ye Tian have become the backbone of the prime minister's party. Of course, the situation between the Han Empire and the imperial capital has something to do with me!" A smile appeared on Ye Tiancheng's face. "I guess sun Bingchen has never told you this. If you know this, you won't be easily confused. I'm afraid the promises sun Bingchen gave you are just a mirror in the end. It can't be true!"

"Really, tell me, I'm all ears!" Yan Liqiang said with leisure.

"Let me ask you a question first. Do you think the imperial power and the relative power of the Han Empire are stronger or weaker?"

Yan Liqiang said without even thinking, "of course, this is the Emperor..."

The word "emperor" was said, but Yan Liqiang suddenly reacted and quickly stopped. In the impression of ordinary people, especially those baptized by various film and television dramas in Yan Liqiang's previous life, if you ask a modern person, many will say that it must be the strongest imperial power. In fact, which is stronger or weaker between imperial power and Prime Minister power is really a difficult question to answer.

Not to mention the world of silver continent, even in the ancient history known to Yan Liqiang in his previous life, take China as an example. In many ancient dynasties, the competition and game between imperial power and Prime Minister power were very common. Everyone had the impression that the prime minister must listen to the emperor. That was basically a pattern gradually formed after the Ming Dynasty, but before the Ming Dynasty, During the period from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties, it's hard to say whether the power of the prime minister was greater or the power of the emperor. In some dynasties and some historical periods, the power of the prime minister could overwhelm the power of the imperial government. For example, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of the prime minister was greater than the power of the imperial government. Even in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the competition between the power of the imperial government and the power of the prime minister was endless. The emperor and scholar bureaucrats ruled the world together, Is the representative of the literati class.

The situation of the Great Han Empire in silver mainland is somewhat similar to that in ancient China, but there are also special features. The Great Han Empire has both emperors and prime ministers. In such a world with military respect, it's hard to say whether the imperial power is strong or the prime minister's power is strong

"Little brother, I guess you've reacted. For thousands of years, the Empire of the Han Dynasty has always been that if the emperor is strong, the imperial power is strong, and if the prime minister is strong, the prime minister is strong. It's hard to say how much authority a person can have if he doesn't have the power to dominate the world. Since Yingzong, the royal family of the Han Empire has lasted three generations, nearly 200 years, No one has ever been a peerless strong man of Emperor Wu's cultivation. In this generation, Emperor Yuanping has been weak and ill since he was a child. In fact, it's needless to say that he is the prime minister. He is a magnificent and beautiful prime minister. He is one of the few advanced level masters of Emperor Wu in the Han Empire. In this imperial capital, which is stronger or weaker between imperial power and Prime Minister power? " Ye Tiancheng looked at Yan Liqiang with deep eyes. "Don't make a mistake when you know these, little brother. Don't say that sun Bingchen wants to continue to be his patrol envoy when he returns to the capital this time. I'm afraid it's hard to protect himself!"

"Since everything is as you said, the prime minister's power is so great, your Ye family and your Ye Tiancheng are both the irons of the prime minister. Now in Ganzhou, why do they end up like this?" Yan Liqiang asked calmly.

Yan Liqiang's question made Ye Tiancheng's eyes flash a gloomy and cold breath, but in the twinkling of an eye, the gloomy and cold on Ye Tiancheng's face turned into indignation, "the so-called horse stumbles and people miss. How can ye Tiancheng and the Ye family think that since Sun Bingchen and Lei Sitong are so bold, Since you dare to unite and fight against the Ye family... "I heard that Lord Leisi is behind you, but the Imperial Senate!"“ Yes, the Imperial Senate is indeed the third force in the Han Empire in addition to imperial power and Prime Minister power! " Ye Tiancheng calmed down for a moment, "but in Dijing, the influence of the prime minister on the Senate is absolutely above the emperor's majesty. What leisitong has done now is more that he planted our Ye family for private revenge. If leisitong wants to dominate Ganzhou, he must kick away our Ye family. What he has done now is estimated to have not been transmitted to the Senate, It doesn't mean that the Senate will certainly support him to fool around in Ganzhou. That's why he wants to uproot our Ye family in Ganzhou, because he knows that as long as one of our Ye family can survive, he will be able to turn over... "What ye Tiancheng said is true or false, but after listening to Ye Tiancheng's words, for Yan Liqiang, There is still a feeling of sudden enlightenment. Before, he still couldn't see clearly and didn't understand many things. Now, he suddenly understood the things behind Sun Bingchen, Lei Sitong and ye Tiancheng... In short, this time in Ganzhou, It was the joint counterattack of his Majesty the emperor and the Senate against the current prime minister who was in power. Although his Majesty the emperor and the Senate joined hands once, the two sides still had differences. In terms of the interests of both sides, the Senate was like the local princes of the Han Empire. What they cared about was the control of the place and the territory they could get, The emperor behind Sun Bingchen cares about the impact of this matter on the central power of the imperial capital... Because of this, all the Ye family who fell in the hands of Lei Si are dead, while ye Tiancheng who fell in the hands of sun Bingchen is still alive, and sun Bingchen wants to take ye Tiancheng to the imperial capital as a chip. Further think, if you are the patron of Ye Tiancheng and ye's family, what are you thinking now after knowing that ye Tiancheng fell into sun Bingchen's hands? Since the emperor wants sun Bingchen to bring ye Tiancheng to the imperial capital, he must not let Sun Bingchen bring ye Tiancheng to the imperial capital. If the enemy agrees, I object, and if the enemy objects, I agree. This is the basic principle of political struggle - there are only two ways to achieve this goal, or, Save Ye Tiancheng from sun Bingchen before he enters the imperial capital, or let Ye Tiancheng die before he enters the imperial capital. After losing Ganzhou, the Ye family is in disgrace. In the eyes of his big backer, ye Tiancheng naturally has no value. Moreover, at this time, ye Tiancheng has already put on the hat of traitor and traitor, which has long been smelly. I'm afraid whoever gets involved will have bad luck + 3. Therefore, I'm afraid the dead Ye Tiancheng can better reassure that person, No matter what evidence Ye Tiancheng has, as long as ye Tiancheng dies, everything will be dead. At the moment, ye Tiancheng may have become an abandoned son. Before the Ye family was taken down, the emperor and the Senate had a tacit understanding. They stood together and could take down the Ye family at once... After the Ye family was taken down, the prime minister and the Senate wanted to bring the Ye family to an end. Would the prime minister and the Senate have the same tacit understanding at this time? Before, Yan Liqiang didn't see it clearly, and all he wanted was the scenery of the imperial capital. At this time, after seeing the entanglement behind this matter, Yan Liqiang couldn't help but have a bone chilling chill, and the whole person couldn't help shivering. If you really want to take ye Tiancheng back to Dijing and follow sun Bingchen, I'm afraid the danger along the way will exceed anyone's expectation. Just when Yan Liqiang suddenly thought about it, two servants in the post house came over with a plate of wine and vegetables and a smile...
