Chapter 410: Return to Luoyang again
Leaving from Jixian County, Ye Chen went to Luoyang, but there was no need to be in a hurry along the way, because the emperor would not hang up for a while, so Ye Chen and they would not be very early in the morning and late in the evening.
He passed by this way, and it was just a matter of spending the night in a tent in the wilderness, and when he entered the city and had a room, Ye Chen rolled the sheets with Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning was born in martial arts, had good flexibility, and could withstand it many times, but he tried a lot of postures with Ye Chen.
One evening, Ye Chen and the others arrived outside Luoyang City, but he did not enter the city immediately, but chose to settle down at the base outside the city.
Zhang Qing was not at the base, he usually dealt with various things in the city, and Ye Chen did not call him, but only sent someone to inform Ye Chen's residence in Luoyang.
Ye Chen inspected the base, and at this time, in addition to the original five hundred guard battalions, there were more than a thousand soldiers who had been trained, and these soldiers were all trained according to the standards of the guard battalion.
The base is very busy, after all, the Du Kang wine around Luoyang is supplied from here, and Luoyang is surrounded by rich lands, and the consumption capacity is very high, so the demand is naturally large.
This base, the place where it is against the mountain, has been secretly dug out of several passages, even if the exit is blocked, then they can calmly retreat, this is what Ye Chen asked at the beginning, after all, Luoyang is too dangerous now.
When Ye Chen was close to Luoyang, almost all the families in Luoyang City knew that Ye Chen was back, and of course there were joys and worries about Ye Chen's arrival, but there were many worries and few joys.
He Jin and Yuan Kui and others faintly showed signs of cooperating again, after Ye Chen left Luoyang, the Shi clan group represented by He Jin and Yuan Kui fought very hard, after all, they represented two interest groups.
However, when they were fighting, there were times when they cooperated, because Zhang let them also have an army in their hands, which threatened them, and the military power in Jian Shuo's hands made He Jin and them like a fish in their throats, and they wanted to get rid of it quickly, but Zhang Rang's energy was big, and it was really difficult to start for a while, so they could only be restricted by various methods.
Jian Shuo was not removed, this Ye Chen came to Luoyang again, which made He Jin and Yuan Kui very nervous, since Zhang Rang mastered a force, he became more and more powerful in the court.
Ye Chen knew a lot of news in Luoyang, and the intelligence officers he had arranged before had been collecting all kinds of information, so he was very familiar with the situation when he arrived in Luoyang.
When he arrived in Luoyang, he naturally had to go to see Zhang Rang first, Ye Chen asked people to send a post, and then go to Zhang Rang in the evening.
After that, Ye Chen entered Luoyang City, and after entering the city, he called Zhang Qing to learn about some specific things.
In terms of business, the money bank business has grown, but the share has not increased much, and several other companies are still suppressing the Ye family money bank, but the money bank business is growing rapidly here, and many people have begun to accept the money bank.
After the Mi family also joined the Qianzhuang camp, almost the entire Han Dynasty had Qianzhuang, and many counties also developed, and more people came into contact with Qianzhuang, and more people used Qianzhuang.
As the center of the entire Han Dynasty, Luoyang has a lot of people coming and going, and there are naturally more people who use the money bank's business, so the money bank's business is developing rapidly, and the Yejia money village is naturally also developing to a certain extent.
The whole of Luoyang is in a state of prosperity, and all kinds of business are very good, of course, Ye Chen knows that this is a false prosperity, and it may collapse at any time.
That night, Ye Chen went to Zhang Rang's mansion, he wanted to know why he was in such a hurry to summon him to Luoyang, you must know that the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan will not be formed until August, and it is only more than three months at this time.
"I've seen Master Zhang." Ye Chen didn't give gifts this time, the two of them were already a community of interests, and there was no need to give gifts, but the necessary etiquette was still needed.
"Well, it's been hard along the way." Zhang Rang nodded, there was no superfluous expression on his face, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.
After Zhang Rang finished speaking, he didn't make any other moves, half-squinting, as if he was thinking about something, while Ye Chen had been standing respectfully beside him.
Ye Chen was respectful on the surface, but in fact, he had scolded this old gelding thousands of times in his heart, but there was no way, he was still the middle waiter, and he had to bow his head.
After a long time, Zhang Rangcai opened his eyes and said to Ye Chen with a smile: "Zhang Tinghou, please sit down, this person is old, and he forgets about things, so Zhang Tinghou has been standing for a long time." ”
"It's okay, it's okay for young people to stand more, but Lord Zhang is tired of serving His Majesty."
Zhang Rang smiled very satisfied, and did not continue the topic, in fact, he was testing Ye Chen, after all, Ye Chen had been away from Luoyang for some years, whether he was still the original Ye Chen, and whether he could still be trusted by him.
Zhang Rang was suspicious, although he knew that Ye Chen's interests were tightly tied to him, but Zhang Rang still didn't trust Ye Chen, just now he was testing him to see if he was still as respectful to himself as before.
The result of the trial made Zhang Rang quite satisfied, and Ye Chen stood for a long time without showing an impatient look.
"This time, General Ye was summoned to Luoyang because you have made great contributions to Zhang Chun's rebellion and the affairs of the foreign Koubian, and Your Majesty will reward you well."
Ye Chen deliberately looked happy after hearing this, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and said, "Thank you Lord Zhang for your support." ”
Ye Chen did not thank the emperor but Zhang Rang, which made Zhang Rang very useful, and this matter was indeed operated by Zhang Rang, in order to further win over Ye Chen, and at the same time find a reason to recall him back to Luoyang.
"Haha, this is all General Ye's dedication and His Majesty's kindness, and I will repay Your Majesty well in the future."
"Yes, my subordinates understand, and I must serve Your Majesty and Master Zhang well."
"Haha, you're a wonderful person."
Zhang Rang heard Ye Chen say that he would serve him, of course he was happy, and he brought him to Luoyang, so that he didn't need him to serve himself, this Ye Chen was on the road, and he was naturally happy.
"This time you have made a great contribution, Your Majesty has a reward, you go back first, in the past few days, Your Majesty has occasionally felt unwell, and you can't go to court, and when Your Majesty goes to court, you will be rewarded."
"Yes, thank you, Lord Zhang, my subordinates will retire."
"Slow" Zhang Rang stopped Ye Chen, who turned around to leave, and took out a token from the side to Ye Chen and said: "This is a token to enter the palace, you can enter the palace at any time during the day, and it is not so convenient at night, but if there is an emergency, you can also use this token to inform our family at the palace gate, I can't go out of the palace often recently, you can enter the palace directly if you have something." ”
"Also, Your Majesty's reward this time will definitely satisfy you, I don't know how many people will envy General Ye at that time, haha." After speaking, Zhang Rang laughed.
Out of Zhang's mansion, Ye Chen was holding a token in his hand, confused, and didn't know what Zhang Rang was doing.
However, one thing can be determined, that is, the emperor's health must be bad, and he will not be able to go to court at this time, Zhang Rang does not dare to leave easily at this time, so he gives himself a token and can enter the palace at any time.
As for what reward the emperor would give him, and it would make many people envious, Ye Chen felt a little inexplicable.
"No matter, if the emperor gives him a good errand, then just do it, otherwise it's a big deal and leave, hum."
