Chapter 43: Trouble

"Lord, the Queen Mother is invited." When he returned to the General's Mansion, he saw Ren Hongchang coming over and bowing to Ye Zhao.

"The Queen Mother?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows, after returning to Hanzhong, Ye Zhao would visit Liu Wei regularly, and occasionally take Liu Wei with him, but He Hou Ye Zhao did not often visit him, after all, there are some taboos that can still be avoided, not to mention that the relationship between Ye Zhao and He Hou is really not very good, when Liu Hong was still alive, because of He Jin's relationship, He Hou obviously did not have a good impression of Ye Zhao.

"It's okay, when I returned to Hanzhong for a long time, I haven't officially met the Queen Mother, which is a bit rude." Ye Zhao nodded silently, although he didn't know what he was going to do later, but when he thought about it, he should have something to entrust.

didn't go back to the house at the moment, and took Ren Hongchang and Dian Wei straight to the Hongnong Mansion next door.

Hongnong Wangfu is next door to Ye Zhao's General's Mansion, and the specifications are all built according to the specifications of the prince, which is more luxurious and solemn than Ye Zhao's General's Mansion.

Although Hanzhong is now closed and locked, and Liu Wei is now only a waste emperor, not as eye-catching as Liu Xie, but as long as the world is still nominally a big man, the rules must be observed, and if you want to enter the Hongnong Palace, you must enter the main gate in a dignified manner, which is also to tell everyone that Ye Zhao is upright and upright, and there is no bad intention.

Hongnong Wangfu is also guarded by the Nifan battalion, there are fifty people stationed here on weekdays, Ren Hongchang, Li Shuxiang and Ma Nanxiang take turns to be on duty, and today it is Ren Hongchang who is on duty, because he wants to see Ye Zhao later, so he came to pass the word.

"Hongchang, do you know what the Queen Mother is looking for me?" While walking towards the courtyard where the Queen Mother lived, Ye Zhao asked.

The Queen Mother was suddenly summoned, and she must have asked for something.

"This time, the lord migrated the people of Nanyang to Hanzhong, and the queen mother is also a person from Nanyang, and many relatives have come to join recently." Ren Hongchang explained.

I see, feelings are here to seek officials.

When Ye Zhao heard this, he sighed in his heart, this woman is really uneasy.

He Hou in her early thirties is the most moving period of a woman, long-term brocade and food, proper maintenance, and also makes He Hou not look like a child's mother, regardless of temperament, He Hou is indeed a rare beauty, but between the eyebrows, there is a sense of meanness, and it also makes the original exquisite silhouette look uncomfortable.

"Minister Ye Zhao, see the Queen Mother." After Ye Zhao saw Empress He, he didn't look at it much, and bowed his head.

"Ye Hou doesn't have to be polite." Empress He sighed, Ying Ying got up, walked to Ye Zhao's side with a wisp of incense, and said with a smile: "This palace and King Hongnong can survive, and it is thanks to Ye Hou who sacrificed his life to save him." ”

"This is the duty of the minister, and I dare not take credit." Ye Zhao said indifferently: "I don't know if the Queen Mother is looking for a minister, but there is something important?" ”

"It's not much of a deal." He Hou shook his head and looked at Ye Zhao and said: "Ye Qing, I remember that when the emperor was alive, he trusted you the most, saying that you are the pillar of my Han Dynasty, and you will also be the minister of the humerus in the future." ”

"The emperor was wrong to love, and the minister just did his duty." Ye Zhao said indifferently.

He Hou said a few more greetings, most of them were full of beautiful words, Ye Zhao was calm, and he was not moved by He Hou's kind words, just looked at He Hou lightly and waited for the following.

"I heard that this palace is now in ruins in Hanzhong, especially the lack of officials, there are a few people in the palace clan, and the size is also considered talent, I don't know ......" He Hou saw that Ye Zhao did not enter the oil and salt, and finally lost his patience and went straight to the point.

"The government has its own charter, as long as it can pass the selection of the Taishou Mansion, you can go out, the Queen Mother can teach these people to go to the Taishou Mansion to find the full favor, even if there is no minister's words, the Queen Mother's dialect, the full favor does not dare to slack off." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

The appointment and dismissal of officials, Ye Zhao has been handed over to the full pet to be responsible, as long as you are willing to be in Hanzhong, you can go to the full favor, by the Taishou Mansion to make a question, or to say some ways of governance, or to come up with some practical problems for the people who come to the defector to be responsible for solving, the Taishou Mansion will be judged according to its performance, by the full favor, Xi Zhicai is responsible for judging, as long as you can pass the test, you don't ask about virtue, you can enter the Hanzhong office.

"It is precisely because of this that this palace came to find Ye Qing." A look of anger flashed in Empress He's eyes and said: "That full pet heard that he was from the palace clan, so he refused to include it, which is really hateful." ”

"Is that so?" Ye Zhao turned his head and looked at Ren Hongchang and said, "Quickly pass the full favor." ”

"Whoa!" Ren Hongchang bowed to Ye Zhao and turned away.

"The Queen Mother can rest assured, if it is really a move full of favor and prejudice, and if you are talented and not hired, the minister will be severely punished!" Ye Zhao said to the Empress Dowager He, but he secretly shook his head in his heart, Man Pet is notoriously iron-faced and selfless, and it is precisely because of this that Ye Zhao handed over such an important task to Man Pet to do, if He Hou's clan really has the ability, Ye Zhao naturally welcomes it, now Hanzhong does need a large number of talents, but if he just thinks of eating and occupying a seat under his hands, even if he does not have Full Favor, these people Ye Zhao will not use.

At the beginning, he put Man Favor in this position, because he was worried about today's matter, some people's face, Ye Zhao was really hard to handle, so he could only refuse with Man Pet, but he didn't expect to make trouble with him so soon, and let He Hou, who had always seen that he was not very pleasing to the eye, come forward to talk to him in person.

"I hope it's as Ye Qing said." He Hou sat back on the banquet group, although now Hu Bed has gradually been accepted by the world, but as the queen mother, she still feels that she should follow the etiquette, especially in front of a minister like Ye Zhao, she can't lose her prestige.

Ye Zhao just smiled and didn't say anything more, and Man Chong soon came in with a few files under the leadership of Ren Hongchang.

"The queen mother, the lord, Hanzhong is too full of favors." Ren Hongchang arched his hand towards the two.

"Listen to orders outside the palace!" Ye Zhao nodded and said.

"Whoa!" Ren Hongchang bowed and slowly withdrew.

"Full of favor, the Queen Mother said that you refused to hire the Queen Mother's clan and put talents out of the door, but is there such a thing?" Ye Zhao stood beside He Hou and looked at Man Petdao.

"If you don't want to be a minister, you can't!" Full of pampering bows.

"Oh?" Ye Zhao smiled and asked, "Why not?" ”

"Weichen asked the queen mother several relatives three questions, one asked about political strategy, how to govern a county, one asked about water conservancy, how to dredge the river, and the other question was to choose three cases from the case of the lord in the past Liang Guo for him to answer, but if there is a question that can be answered correctly, the ministers will be hired, and then ...... Several He clan members are here, please take a look at the queen mother and the lord. "Full of pampering bows.

"Yo~" Ye Zhao casually took out a scroll and opened it, looking at the text on it that seemed to be dancing, even if he didn't read the content, just with this hand, it was difficult to make people feel good, and after glancing at He Hou, who was ugly, Ye Zhao smiled and handed the file to He Hou and said: "This word...... Eclectic...... As for the content, it can be regarded as a unique insight, but now Hanzhong is in ruins, and it is in urgent need of a solid foundation. ”

He Hou didn't read the file, his own family knew his own family affairs, what kind of virtue his brothers in those clans were, He Hou naturally knew, but at this time, seeing Ye Zhao's ruthless demolition, his face suddenly became a little unbearable, and he frowned slightly: "Ye Qing, if this article is not done well, it may not be talentless, these family members in this palace have come thousands of miles to vote, and they always need to have a background." ”

"Hanzhong is now in ruins, the city needs to be built, the checkpoints need to be reinforced, and money and food are needed everywhere, and there is really no extra money and food to raise mediocre talents." Ye Zhao saluted to He Hou and said: "Queen Mother, forgive the ministers for being rude, if the Queen Mother's clan really wants to be a leader, they only need to have some ability, even if they are poor, the ministers will open the net, but the talents of these few people...... The minister is really indescribable, Hanzhong is not Luoyang, and there are not many official vacancies, if these talented people are allowed to occupy high positions, how will the Queen Mother let the millions of people in Hanzhong look at His Royal Highness? What do those talented people think of Hanzhong? In the long run, who else will come to run? ”

"But the clansmen of this palace come to vote, how to count, they are also relatives of the emperor, so they are rejected like this......" He Hou looked at Ye Zhaodao with anger.

"The Queen Mother, in the palace, there are still some eunuchs, if the Queen Mother is willing, the ministers can immediately clean up for them." Full of pets said in a deep voice.

"You are presumptuous!" He Hou slapped the table and said angrily.

Arrange her family to be eunuchs, don't say whether they are willing or not, where is her face going to go?

"Berning, you go to deal with official business first, and I will discuss with the Queen Mother here." Ye Zhao gave Man Zhong an appreciative look, but his tone was serious, he didn't expect this black face to have such a humorous side.

"Whoa!" Man Pet bowed, turned around and left directly.

"Ye Qing, this is the person you raised the sword? What kind of system does it become!? He Hou looked at the back of the full pet and said angrily.

"Although Berning's words are a little more straightforward, but in the two years of Hanzhong, the great Han was governed in an orderly manner, the people are rich, the treasury is full, His Royal Highness has now lost the throne, and the prince is also Dong Zhuo's puppet, if His Royal Highness wants to regain control of the world, this Hanzhong is the foundation of the place, what is needed is not the sycophant, but can really help His Royal Highness strengthen his own talents, the minister thinks that Berning is not only not punishable, but also should be rewarded." Ye Zhao looked at He Hou and smiled.

"Ye Qing is willing to help defend and return to the Central Plains?" When He Hou heard this, his eyes lit up and he looked at Ye Zhaodao.

"This is the duty of the minister, there are some things, and I hope the Queen Mother can understand, this selection of officials, should be based on merit, not based on their background, so that I can accept the world's talents for my use." Ye Zhao nodded and smiled.

"Ye Qing has this heart, the palace will rest assured, Hanzhong political affairs, the palace will no longer ask about it, I just hope that Ye Qing can remember today's words." He Hou looked at Ye Zhaodao seriously.

"The Queen Mother can rest assured, the ministers will live up to the trust of the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness." Ye Zhao said solemnly.

"It's so good, the palace is a little sleepy, so I won't entertain Ye Qing." He Hou nodded and said.

"The minister also has official duties, so he will retire." Ye Zhao bowed to He Hou, turned around and strode away.
