After undergoing a major purge, Cheng/Du gradually regained their calm, and most officials were slightly relieved after Ye Zhao informed Zhang Song and others of the plot and incriminating evidence.

After all, being in a high position, sometimes even if it is for official business, he will use some means to follow the boundaries of the law, Ye Zhao suddenly raised the butcher's knife without warning this time, which made many people unable to understand, and many people were even more at risk.

As soon as the announcement came out, it also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that Zhang Song and others had such a plan, and people who had nothing to do with this matter were naturally greatly relieved, and they were also trying their best to clear up their relationship, in fact, at this time, Ye Zhao didn't go to find it, and he was no longer ready to pursue it, after this incident, the officials of the Shuzhong family were almost killed, in addition to increasing the number of official fields, the influence of the Shuzhong family on Shu was already weak to the limit.

At the same time, after this incident, those who originally wanted to go through Liu Bian's path also dispelled their thoughts, it is obvious that Liu Bian has no ability to fight with Ye Zhao in Shu, and the two sides have become enemies, naturally no one dares to get too close to Liu Bian, and even those craftsmen who came and went to Hongnong's Mansion in the past have now consciously broken away from the relationship with Liu Bian.

Now in Liu Wei's Hongnong Palace, the Niefan Battalion has been withdrawn and become the escort of the Taiwei Mansion, but the Niefan Battalion has changed to the army, and no one is allowed to enter the Hongnong Mansion except for the necessary procurement personnel.

However, some people will be afraid of Ye Zhao's power, and some will not, such as ...... The one in front of you.

"Concubine An dares to treat King Hongnong like this!" Cai Yong pointed at Ye Zhao and roared, "Who are you?" ”

"Father is angry, husband is ......" Cai Yan looked at the two with some concern, the two most important men in her life were-for-tat, and it was really not the result she wanted to see.

"Akihime stand down!" Ye Zhao and Cai Yong spoke at the same time, glanced at each other, and lost their voices at the same time.

Cai Yan sighed and left with Ye Zheng and Cai Yi, such a scene was really not suitable for the two children to be present.

"Father-in-law, do you know why there is today?" Seeing Cai Yan leave with his two children, Ye Zhao looked at Cai Yong, there are some things, he must make it clear, his father-in-law and mentor, many times the starting point is good, but it is too easy to be used, he has to face the opponent's open guns and arrows, and he has to guard against the pig teammates, which makes him very distressed.

"I know you can be eloquent, but this time, you treat King Hongnong so harshly, you are rebelling against the king! Great disrespect! Cai Yong looked at Ye Zhao and said sharply.

"Back then, if it weren't for me, he would have died a long time ago, how could I come to so many things today, I saved King Hongnong, and I repaid the kindness of the first emperor!" Ye Zhao looked at Cai Yong and said in a deep voice: "Besides, over the years since I entered Shu, have I ever had a little encroachment on King Hongnong?" ”

"And what about this time?" Cai Yong frowned.

"Zhang Song is a cunning person, and he is quite dissatisfied with many of my policies in Shuzhong, and he has always been double-minded!" Ye Zhao looked at Cai Yong and said, "Zhao doesn't know why my father-in-law introduced these people to King Hongnong, but these three people secretly instigated King Hongnong to be hostile to me!" ”

"I have worked hard for this great man in the world, I have a home for three years and can't return, I sleep in the open air, and fight on the battlefield, but King Hongnong is instigated by these people and intends to murder me!" Ye Zhao patted his chest and said with a smile: "It's cold! In this Shu, there is today's grand occasion, which I built with a knife and a gun, brick by brick, and now Shu is stable, and there has never been half a reward, but in exchange for a rabbit and a dead dog, my father-in-law asked me what to do? In the future, I will wave my troops out of Sichuan and restore the Central Plains, I can't fight while guarding against villains stabbing knives in the back! ”

"But you're doing it a little too much!" Cai Yong looked at Ye Zhao, his momentum weakened a little, if he hadn't brought Zhang Song and the others to see King Hongnong, there would be no today.

"Perhaps, but I have no other way!" Ye Zhao shook his head and sighed: "If you want to be a loyal minister, you can't be too capable, it will be very tiring, not only to manage this messy world, but also to guard against suspicion and assassination behind it, now, the child is tired, and he no longer wants to be this loyal minister." ”

Looking at Ye Zhao with a tired face, Ye Zhao's road is that he watched step by step to get to today, his father-in-law and teacher, in addition to teaching him knowledge, seems to have given no help at all, and now he is even more suspected of dragging his feet, and he can't help but feel a little self-blame in his heart.

He didn't know how he got out of the Taiwei Mansion, He Man had been following, he thought a lot along the way, when he introduced Zhang Song and others to Liu Bian, he also felt that Liu Bian had already won the crown and it was time to form his own forces, but he didn't think about whether Liu Bian and Ye Zhao were as harmonious as before when Liu Bian gradually grew up.

Now it seems that I am afraid that it will not be, even if Liu Wei does not want to, those who belong to Liu Wei will also want to...... In this way, helping Liu Wei is harming Ye Zhao, harming his son-in-law, and his most proud disciple, but if he doesn't help, he is a loyal minister of the Han family, and his lifelong beliefs will not allow him to do so.

Ye Zhao stood at the door of Taiwei's Mansion and watched Cai Yong's figure disappear at the end of his sight, but this part of the way, Cai Yong seemed to be ten years older.

"Husband, ......" Cai Yan trotted to Ye Zhao's side, and couldn't help but hug Ye Zhao tightly with both hands.

"Don't worry, my father-in-law and I are fine." Ye Zhao sighed, his father-in-law is sixty-three years old this year, and there are some things that should not be too good: "Let my father-in-law clean up for a while, he is a little messy now." ”

"Hmm."

……

In the next two months, Shuzhong gradually returned to calm, Cai Yong did not go to Hongnong Wangfu these days, he was afraid of facing Liu Bian's disappointed eyes, listening to He Man, Cai Yong has been cultivating himself recently, occasionally going to the academy to teach, or carefully teaching Cai Yi.

As for Ye Zheng, now he is studying in the academy according to his preferences, and occasionally goes to Cai Yong's mansion to seek solutions, but Ye Zheng now prefers Ye Zhao to help him solve his doubts, his father's erudition is not weaker than Cai Yong, and Ye Zheng feels that although his father's words are not high and unfathomable, he can understand them.

Ren Hongchang has rarely participated in the training of the Nefan Camp anymore, and recently the girls of the Nefan Camp have found that their main general seems to be much more tender than before, and between his eyebrows, there is also a little less anger in the past, and his eyes are becoming more and more supple.

Although he was only a concubine, many soldiers in the Nefan camp felt a little dissatisfied, after all, Ren Hongchang had followed Ye Zhao for ten years and worked hard, but in the end he only got a concubine, which made people feel distressed, but now it seems that Ren Hongchang is doing well.

Recently, in addition to reading official documents every day, Ye Zhao has been tired of being with four beautiful wives and concubines most of the time, as if he wants to vent all the energy he has held back for three years in one go.

At the beginning of March, Guan Yu, Xu Rong, and Zhao Yun led the army to Chengdu/Du, Ye Zhao gave the generals a ten-day holiday, so that they could reunite with their families, Guan Yu decided to stay in Shuzhong, and then gave birth to a son, named Guan Xing, and now he is three years old, Zhao Yun also got married in Shuzhong, but has not yet stayed in the Hou, Ye Zhao hopes that these fierce generals can pass on the excellent genes and provide more useful talents for the future.

And Ye Zhao, these ten days are also the time that Ye Zhao left for himself and his wife and children, embarking on this road, there will be more time to get together less and leave more in the future, he wants to spend more time with his family in this limited time, and the two sons have obviously been sticky to him recently.

Liu Wei and the four of them obviously knew that it was time to separate again, and they had been particularly obsessed with Ye Zhao recently, especially Ren Hongchang, who had just been married, and relied on his strong physical strength to linger with Ye Zhao every day until late at night before falling asleep.

The ten-day period passed in a flash, the Taiwei Mansion, the main hall, Ye Zhao said to Xi Zhicai with slightly dark eyes: "The situation in the Central Plains in the past three years, tell you." ”

"Whoa!" Xi Zhicai bowed, then walked to a map of the territory of the Han Dynasty, sketched it on the map with a red pen and said: "Outside of Shu now, it can probably be distinguished in this way. ”

"Since the first year of Jian'an, after the Son of Heaven left, the three auxiliary land of Xiliang generals annexed each other, Li Dao and Guo Yan also disliked, because the lord gave them a volume, although the Xiliang generals fought hard, but in terms of people's livelihood, the loss is not much, Sanfu and Xiliang can be regarded as a piece, these two places are a little chaotic, and the population loss is serious." Xi Zhicai nodded to the three auxiliary places.

"In addition, Lu Bu and Liu Biao have regional contact with our army, since Lu Bu entered Nanyang, the governance is good, but most of the population of Nanyang was moved away by the lord, and then Lu Bu was killed, so that the population decreased sharply, Lu Bu now has more than 70,000 troops, and Jingzhou Liu Biao plays the role of Jingxiang, mainly Wenzhi, in addition to occasional friction with Yuan Shu over the years, mainly with Lu Bu The conflict is extremely fierce!"

"In the Central Plains, Cao Cao occupies most of Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou Pengcheng, Langxie and other places, last year Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou for the third time, the specific news has not yet come, but between the ministers, Xuzhou is now difficult to resist Cao Cao, although it is in the land of four wars, but Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have gone through the battle array, and the minister thinks that it is the strongest one among the princes of the Central Plains!"

"In addition, Yuan Shu according to the part of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, last year Yuan Shu took advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, and united with the Yanzhou family to annex Yanzhou, but was defeated by Cao Cao's return army.

"In the north, now Yuan Shao has invaded Qingzhou and merged with the state, and has the tendency to dominate the north, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu in the land of Youzhou are contending, unable to decide the lord of Youzhou, and Yuan Shao is looking at the side, in my opinion, when Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan decide the overlord of Youzhou, it is when Yuan Shao invades Youzhou, and the four states can be regarded as Yuan Shao's forces."

"In addition, there are still Liaodong Gongsun Du and Jiaozhou Shixie, but the minister thinks that such a place is vast and sparsely populated, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"
