Chapter 411: Promotion
Next, the emperor didn't summon Ye Chen immediately, and Ye Chen didn't know when to summon him, so he started to do his own thing in Luoyang.
He doesn't have any official position at this time, of course, it's okay, except for in-depth discussions with Zhang Ning about life, which is to provide disaster relief around Luoyang, or to collect orphans.
Ye Chen asked Zhang Ning to come forward, took in a lot of orphans around Luoyang, and then settled them outside the city and taught them some things.
Zhang Ning recovered her daughter when she arrived in Luoyang, and her identity was Ye Chen's concubine, and she was asked to collect orphans because Ye Chen wanted to rebuild an intelligence network.
The previous intelligence network had a strong commercial atmosphere, and it was combined with business, using the Ye family's business network to quickly spread out, which could quickly build the intelligence network.
But this also has a disadvantage, that is, the identity of these people is more obvious, they are all members of the Ye family, and their identities are confirmed, they are employees in the Ye family's industry, so the behavior of these people will be restricted.
For example, if an intelligence officer is arranged to work in the Ye Family Restaurant, this person can only stay in the restaurant at ordinary times, and it would be strange if he went out to hang out and not arouse suspicion.
Therefore, Ye Chen wants to rebuild an intelligence network, the identities of the members of this intelligence network are not fixed, and Ye Chen will not deliberately arrange their identities, but will only give them a certain amount of support, and then let them go to a place to collect useful information in this place.
These people do not have a unified identity, nor do they have the label of the Ye family, so they naturally have a lot less constraints in their actions.
And let Zhang Ning come forward because her identity is more convenient, if Ye Chen comes to do it, I am afraid it will attract a lot of people's attention, after all, he is the focus of attention in Luoyang.
And the identity arranged for Zhang Ning was an orphan in distress, and then Ye Chen saw it, Ye Chen coveted her beauty and took her into the room, during which Ye Chen naturally played the role of a womanizer, but he didn't care.
It seems that Ye Chen is really a little lustful, to be precise, Ye Chen's body has become stronger and stronger after cultivating the Overlord Technique, and his ability in that area has become more and more powerful, there was no entertainment in ancient times, of course, he loved the most at night.
Zhang Ning sympathizes with those orphans, and then adopts these orphans, which is logical, a daughter's family does things, and naturally few people pay attention to it.
And those orphans, their backgrounds are simple, and Ye Chen is kind to them, of course there is no problem with loyalty.
It is not very urgent to train them to become intelligence officers, first place them down, arrange them in various Zhuangzi outside the city, and many can also be placed in the city, and separate them from each other, so as to reduce the chance of exposure.
Ye Chen has time, the great chaos has not yet come, Dong Zhuo has more than a year to enter Beijing, and things can be slowed down.
After these orphans were adopted by Ye Chen, they first taught them to read and write, yes, they didn't do anything, except for teaching them some kung fu, the rest was to read and write.
With knowledge and literacy, it is also convenient to pass on information in the future.
The reason why Ye Chen asked Zhang Ning to set up this intelligence system is because Zhang Ning has a talent in this area, Zhang Jiao began to plan more than ten years ago, and secretly developed so many troops, Zhang Ning has been deaf and blind since he was a child, and he has also learned the ability of a body, plus Ye Chen uses some modern knowledge to guide, this intelligence network will only become more powerful.
And the establishment of this intelligence network does not mean that the original intelligence network will be abandoned, not only will it not, but it will be strengthened, Ye Chen also let them develop members, collect orphans, and release them after training.
It is impossible for an intelligence network to be in the hands of a single person, and it is dangerous to have only a single source of intelligence.
The matter was handed over to Zhang Ning and let her deal with it, Ye Chen was very idle all day, and came to Luoyang for a few days, except for paying attention to business matters, Ye Chen basically didn't have much to do, and practiced martial arts all day long and discussed life with Zhang Ning.
Ten days later, news finally came from the palace, allowing Ye Chen to enter the palace the next day.
Finally there is news, Ye Chen is also drunk, what is the illness of this emperor, according to history, he should die next year, although he doesn't know when he died, but he knows very well that Dong Zhuo will enter Beijing soon after his death, and Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing is a big event, and this time does know.
Early in the morning, Ye Chen got up to freshen up, then changed his clothes, and then went out, waiting outside the palace early, waiting for the palace door to open, and then Ye Chen entered the palace.
The ministers went to the early court first, and Ye Chen waited outside the hall.
"Biography, General Jianwei and Marquis Zhangting will meet you."
Finally on his own, Ye Chen tidied up his clothes, and then went in.
When Ye Chen walked in, one after another eyes shot in, Ye Chen's face was as usual, of course he knew that the ministers in the palace were not interested in him, and many people were hostile to him.
He Jin and Yuan Kui's eyes were especially fierce, and they finally got Ye Chen away, and it was only a long time before they came back again.
"Minister, meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live."
"Well, please, Youguo has worked hard all the way, and I am very happy that you can establish meritorious deeds for my Han again." Liu Hong said weakly.
Ye Chen looked up at Liu Hong and found that his face was pale, his face was tired, and his eyes were sunken, and he looked sick.
No wonder Zhang Rang called himself in a hurry, Liu Hong's situation is really worrying, and he was seriously ill some time ago, his body has been hollowed out, and it is not easy to raise it again.
"Your Majesty, this is what a courtier should do."
"Okay, okay, okay."
"Ahem, cough, cough," Liu Hong coughed as he spoke, but his face still showed excitement.
"This time Youguo has made a great contribution to the Han Dynasty, I must reward you well." Liu Hongyi waved his hand and motioned to Zhang Rang.
Zhang Rang held a scroll of holy decrees in his hand, then walked to the front and opened the holy decree to read.
"The emperor said: General Jianwei, Zhang Tinghou Ye Chen, loyal to protect the country" A bunch of praises, Ye Chen's exploits were counted, and then he began to read the reward, which is the point.
"Feng Yechen is the general of Pingbei and the marquis of Jinxi." After a bunch of compliments, Zhang Rang read out the reward, and his official position and title were upgraded by one level.
After Zhang Rang finished reading, the people below first took a big breath, Ye Chen's credit is there, the emperor wants to be rewarded, no one dares to say anything, this is the general of Pingbei, but if you go directly to the knight, you must know that giving a pavilion marquis is already the emperor's grace, how many people can't seal the Hou with a lifetime of hard work, otherwise there will be no sentence "Feng Tang is easy to be old, Li Guang is difficult to seal".
"Your Majesty, this Ye Chen has only made an inch, how can he be a townsman." He Jin couldn't stand it anymore and took the lead in asking questions.
"Yes, Your Majesty, although this Ye Chen has made meritorious contributions, he can give more money and brocade, this countryman is too heavy." Yuan Kui continued.
The two important ministers of the court spoke, and the bottom echoed, and they all wanted to disturb Ye Chen's good deeds.
