Chapter 1 Sincerity
Luoyang, Jiade Palace.
Liu Hong came out of the Jiade Hall a little sleepy, and walked in the back garden with Zhang Rang at will, the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion does not mean that the world is peaceful, on the contrary, because Liu Hong ordered all states and counties to recruit their own brave to clean up the Yellow Turban thieves, so that the states and counties took advantage of this chaos to grow, and now, Liu Hong can clearly feel that the control of the imperial court over the local area is constantly weakening.
This was the biggest impact of the Yellow Turban Uprising on the Han Dynasty, the local control of the military power, and the strength of the Han Dynasty in a year, from the former 100,000 directly increased several times.
For the imperial court, this is not a good thing, if it is not handled properly, this is the prototype of warlord separation, Liu Hong obviously does not want to see this situation formed, so it is very rare, Liu Hong in this year's time, almost every day to go to court, which in the past few years, is almost unimaginable.
"Father, whose world do you say is this world?" Walking in the garden, his eyes were full of withered colors, which made Liu Hong's mood even heavier, and he turned his head to look at Zhang Rangdao.
"This whole world is not the king's land, and the world is naturally His Majesty's world." Zhang Rang couldn't figure out Liu Hong's thoughts, and hurriedly smiled.
"Really? But I can't feel it. Liu Hong laughed to himself.
Zhang Rang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this meritorious policy has been done, I don't know how Your Majesty is going to arrange all kinds of soldiers?" ”
"Do you use me?" Liu Hong sneered: "Yuan Shaosi is the lieutenant, Cao Cao is the prime minister of Jinan, Yuan Shu is the general of the tiger Benzhonglang, Ye Zhao is the Taishou of Nanyang, ha, it has been written very clearly in the general's recital, they are all officials with a rank ratio of two thousand stones, and the general is really willing!" ”
"But this world is Your Majesty's world after all, if Your Majesty doesn't want to, you are a general, and you can't influence Your Majesty, right?" Zhang Rang bowed.
Liu Hong sighed, shook his head and said: "The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the two Yuan brothers also have merits this time, that is, there are no generals, but the official positions of these two people also match, then Cao Cao is quite respected by righteousness, and he is also a rare talent, it is good to hone it, but this Ye Zhao ......"
Zhang Rang said with a smile: "Ye Zhao's outstanding achievements this time, in terms of meritorious service, I am afraid that the three major lieutenant generals are not comparable, but for some reason, but after Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, Nanyang thieves are rampant, now although the thieves have been determined, but they are not as prosperous as before, although they hold military and political power, but they are in name only, and it is unfair to them." ”
"Injustice?" Liu Hong's eyes were a little complicated and said, "I think I have given too much." ”
"Why did Your Majesty say that?" Zhang Rang looked at Liu Hong suspiciously.
"Let my father still remember when Ye Zhao first entered his career, what was his official position?" Liu Hong did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"This ......" Zhang Rang looked at Liu Hong, probably understood Liu Hong's thoughts, bowed his head and said: "Ma Chengling, concurrently the position of captain." ”
"Yes, the military and politics are in control." Liu Hong nodded and smiled: "That Macheng, no more than three thousand, is a small city, and on the verge of the border fortress, the length of time will be threatened by the Hu trouble, I didn't take it to heart, but who would have thought that within three years, he made Macheng Dazhi, with a household registration of more than 10,000, and became a big county in Youzhou, which stirred up the situation in the border area, and Xianbei, Wuhuan and even the Southern Xiongnu were toyed with by it between applause. ”
"Macheng is only a small county, but for three years, it has a battle of princes, if he is allowed to go to Nanyang, and he has the power of military and political affairs, I really can't imagine what the situation will be in Nanyang three years later?" Liu Hong sighed and said: "And this son is both civil and military, and he is even more powerful in governing the army, look at the merits ......."
"He is a disciple of Cai Weng, and he has always been loyal to His Majesty." Zhang Rang said with a smile: "It won't endanger the community." ”
"The human heart is unpredictable!" Liu Hong shook his head: "This person is talented, but if he doesn't use it well, he will eat himself." ”
Liu Hong is in a position, so he naturally will not easily believe in the so-called loyalty, Huangfu Song is also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but when it comes to his own interests, he will also embarrass the court, and people's hearts always have selfish desires.
"Then why didn't Your Majesty recruit him into Luoyang, it wouldn't be considered to bury this person's talent." Zhang Rang said with a smile, since Liu Hong didn't want Ye Zhao to be in charge of the army, although he received benefits, but at this time, he would not go against the emperor's will, he knew very well who gave him the power today, if he had the opportunity, he wouldn't mind helping Ye Zhao, but this premise was that his opinion was consistent with Liu Hong's will, and when the two were at odds, he would not hesitate to choose to support Liu Hong.
"Entering Luoyang, Jiuqing's position is not his share!" Liu Hong shook his head, this is an era when the future is determined by birth, Sangong, Jiuqing, non-virtuous and respected people are not allowed to serve, even if it is Liu Hong, it cannot be appointed and dismissed by his own temperament, now that the party ban is lifted, how many party members return to the court, once they do this, I don't know how many people will come to risk death to admonish, even if Ye Zhao's meritorious service is high, he can't be appointed.
"The slave maid heard that in addition to leading the troops in a good way, Ye Zhao also has a reputation as a god in judging cases among the people." Zhang Rang said with a smile.
Judge cases like gods?
Liu Hong said with a smile: "If there is a chance, I would like to take a look, but although he can sit in this Luoyang Ling's position, he may not be able to sit firmly." ”
Don't look at the Luoyang order is just a county order, but the status is by no means comparable to the general county order, Luoyang is the capital of a country, Luoyang order in addition to the military power is restricted, in charge of Luoyang's judicial, economic, public security and other rights, the status is even higher than a state pastor, in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there have been several strong Luoyang orders, and even the emperor's face is not given.
"That's what Ye Zhao should worry about, why should Your Majesty worry about him?" Zhang Rang said with a smile: "I have heard that Ye Zhao is strict in law enforcement, but I don't know if he can still do this in Luoyang?" The slave was looking forward to it. ”
Liu Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "Yes, let him be this Luoyang Order, I also want to see his ability to solve cases like a god." ”
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Rang bowed down and smiled.
……
Liang Guo, Suiyang.
Ye Zhao didn't worry too much about how the court would place himself, he could calculate the general direction, anyway, the shepherd's side had no part in it, and now was not a really good time for the shepherd's side, so although he gave a gift to the Shichang servant according to the custom, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
The family members have been arranged by Ye Zhao Ding Li and Fang Yue to lead the family soldiers back to Huaixian, but Ye Zhao has not left Suiyang, and Qian Bei, a great talent, has not been dug up here, and Ye Zhao is really reluctant to leave.
In the Qian family's manor, Ye Zhao was bored holding the fishing rod and drowsy, now he is no longer the Suiyang County Order, so naturally he can't continue to live in the Suiyang County Ya, but he has a good reputation in the Liang Kingdom, Zhang Yu and others are kindly invited, and they will not let Ye Zhao go to the guest house, but Ye Zhao most of the time, he lives in Qian Yu's manor.
"This year has passed, and the prince of the mansion does not go back to hold his wife and concubine and wait for the reward from the court, but he is here, what is the reason?" Qian Yu sat on the ground and looked at Ye Zhao with a smile.
"The road ahead is unknown." Ye Zhao was holding the fishing rod and thinking about it, too lazy to look at it.
"The hero who broke the yellow turban is now famous, in this Liang country, I am afraid that the state minister and the county order have never had such a scenery as you, how can you talk about the unknown road ahead?" Qian Yu said with a smile.
"You~" Ye Zhao shook his head and said: "This ability to pretend to be crazy and stupid is becoming more and more refined, this time the edge is too exposed, I am afraid that there are many enemies." ”
"If you know this, why do you want to show it?" Qian was puzzled.
"In this world, there are many things that have to be done, if I learn the golden mean, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do anything in my life." Ye Zhao looked at Qian Bei, with a touch of unconcealed high-spiritedness on his face: "The chaos in this world has been born, I should have made a plan as soon as possible, since Zhicai asked today, then Zhao doesn't want to be with you anymore, Zhicai is talented, many things I can't see clearly, Zhicai can perceive more than me, you and I have met, I invite each other, Zhicai should be able to perceive, no less than three times, Zhaozhi's sincerity is here, Zhicai really doesn't think about one or two?" ”
When Qian Yu heard this, his face became rarely solemn, and he looked at Ye Zhao: "Dare to ask the envoy, if I don't obey, how will the envoy treat me?" ”
"In the Yellow Turban Army, there is a very interesting person, Liao Chun, later renamed Liao Hua, he disagrees with my philosophy, he is a gain and a loss, he asked me why I didn't kill him before leaving." Ye Zhao turned his head to look at Qian Fei and said: "He is not as good as me in commanding the army, politics, and strategy, and he is not much younger than me. ”
"Reasonable, it seems that this time, if Qian doesn't leave with you, I'm afraid there will be a disaster of death." Qian Yu smiled.
"Zhao doesn't want that day." Ye Zhao didn't answer, but shook his head and sighed: "Actually, this is not the time for you to go out of the mountain, let alone the best time for me to recruit you." ”
When Qian heard this, he smiled but did not speak.
"But if the time is not for me, if the time is ripe, what use do I want you?" Ye Zhao turned his head and looked at Qian Yu with burning eyes, at this moment, he did not hide the ambition in his eyes, the Yellow Turban Rebellion had shaken the foundation of the Han family, and it was not difficult for some knowledgeable people to see that it was okay for him to expose his ambitions at this time.
"In that case, the lord deserves to be worshiped by me!" Qian Yu said with a smile.
"Your worship is not sincere!" Ye Zhao shook his head and sighed.
"As the lord said, the time is not right, you forcibly recruit me, but you want me to be convinced, it is inevitable that some strong people are difficult, but I am also a person who cherishes my life, although the minister said that I am only forty, but I did not say that I have the appearance of early death, yes, I am afraid that I will go to Luoyang with the lord, as for the future, and it depends on the will of God." Qian Fei stood up and said.
"Okay, it depends on the will of God." Ye Zhao stood up and said with a smile: "But I believe that Providence is usually on the side of the sincere. ”
"The sincerity of the lord...... Some thin. Qian said with a smile.
"Over time, it will become thicker." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Dian Wei, prepare the horse!" ”
"In such a hurry?" Qian was stunned.
"The edict of the imperial court is coming down, don't give someone a handle." Ye Zhao waved his hand and smiled: "It's just that I have to work hard to run around." ”
Qian Fei: "......"
