Chapter 49 Sealing the Marquis and Giving Marriage
Full of favors was arranged by Xi Zhicai in the guest room of Weiwei Mansion, even if there was no recommendation from Xi Zhicai, he would take the initiative to come to visit him in the past few days, and it was precisely because of this that Ye Zhao felt deceived.
However, after a simple exchange, Manzhong's ability was initially recognized by Ye Zhao, in addition to his research and opinions on the law, his own talent and political insights are really not bad, even far beyond Ye Zhao's expectations, and he is even familiar with some art of war.
originally thought that he was just a cool official, but when he really saw the deity, Ye Zhao knew that this talent who could leave a name in history and be a high-ranking official in Cao Wei's camp was really not a cool official who could be summarized simply.
Of course, he has no experience in governance, at most he has only made a county order, and he abandoned his official position not long after he took office because he offended the powerful.
But Ye Zhao has no choice now, since he wants to control Hanzhong, he needs someone to take charge of Hanzhong government affairs for him, in terms of military power, Ding Li, Fang Yue and Ji Ling are enough to do it, Hanzhong has just undergone a purge, it is in a power vacuum, it is easy to take power at this time.
"Boning, there are some things, I want to make it clear to you first, Hanzhong and I are very important, but there is no person who can serve as the Taishou of Hanzhong, you first came to my command, I can't give you trust, so the military power, must be in my hands, I will send two people to enter Hanzhong with you, Ding Li is in charge of the army, Qiu Chi assists you in sorting out government affairs, during this time, if it is necessary for government affairs, they will do their best to help you, but if you are found to do anything unfavorable to me, they will immediately imprison you, and at the same time, Qiu Chi will temporarily take the post of Taishou, We must first make this clear, Hanzhong cannot afford to lose as far as I am concerned. ”
It is not difficult to ask Hanzhong Taishou, Ye Zhao now as long as he does not touch the military power outside his control, Liu Hong will give him enough trust, not to mention that it is just a position of Hanzhong Taishou, on the second day after seeing Manzhong, Ye Zhao asked Zhang Rang to convey this matter to Liu Hong, and obtained the military and political rights in Hanzhong, and the military power was given to Ding Li by Ye Zhao, he will lead most of the Ye family's private soldiers to escort a large number of Ye family's property and craftsmen into Hanzhong with Manzhong, Qiu Chi followed more to coordinate this aspect of things, the Ye family's property can be used to develop Hanzhong, Which ones can't be touched, Qiu Chi has been by Ye Zhao's side all these years, and he still understands these things.
I want to use you, but I also have to guard against you, and if you say it so openly, if you change any person with some ability, I am afraid that it will not be comfortable, and you may just throw your sleeves and leave.
But full of favors is definitely an exception.
Man Chong does not ask about human feelings, only talks about the law, Ye Zhao's method may be difficult for others to accept, but for Man Chong, this way to explain things in advance, Ye Zhao can rest assured, he can also know where his scope of authority is, and both parties don't have to bother to figure out the temptation, this way is better.
"Since Ming Gong said so, the pet will not say much, the pet will do his own thing, as for other things, as long as it does not violate the rules, how Ming Gong arranges, the pet will never interfere." Full of pampering bows.
"Good!" Ye Zhao smiled with satisfaction: "Ding Li wants to mobilize people and deploy talents, and Bo Ning can live in this Weiwei Mansion for a few days now." ”
"Whoa." After bowing down and agreeing, he said goodbye and left.
In the next few days, Ye Zhao didn't go out in the mansion again, waiting for the summons of the Son of Heaven, to his surprise, Liu Wei, who always likes to run here on weekdays, has not seen anyone for many days since he returned to Luoyang.
The days passed like this, Liu Hong's illness took a full month, and it got better, and when he first recovered from his serious illness, he immediately summoned his ministers to the court.
When Ye Zhao walked into the court again, he found that the court was much colder than in the past, and the general He Jin was still in the position of the head of the hundred officials, but Yuan Kui, who had also stood in this position with He Jin in the past, was gone, Situ Chen Tan was also gone, and the Taiwei had not been set up since Zhang Wen, and now it was empty, that is to say, now above the court, after He Jin, it was the largest in Jiuqing.
"Excuse me." After the ministers saluted, Liu Hong stretched out his hand weakly and signaled everyone to be exempted.
Liu Hong is really weak, even if in the past month, after the continuous conditioning of the imperial doctor, he has only removed the pain, but the deficiency of the body is by no means something that can be made up in just one month.
After knowing the condition of his body again, Liu Hong almost directly put He Hou into the cold palace, originally because Liu Bian's performance during this northern tour had changed slightly, but because of this incident, Liu Biao became even more disgusted.
"I went out to patrol the river, I wanted to inspect the old house, but I didn't think that my Han would have such a group of loyal ministers!" Liu Hong's eyes swept over the ministers of the court, and sneered: "Zhuqing may think that my methods are too cruel, but I want to tell Zhuqing one thing, this world is my Liu family, no matter how big the family is, you are also ministers, vainly trying to abolish the establishment and subvert my Han country, then please ask Zhuqing to see if his neck is hard enough, and if you wait for your family to have enough to come and talk to me about this abolition!" ”
Perhaps he already knew that his limit was approaching, Liu Hong was full of an indescribable anger, the ministers lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to come out, even He Jin, who didn't dare to look directly at Liu Hong's gaze at this moment.
Looking at the performance of the ministers, Liu Hong took a deep breath, patted the table and said: "This matter is not over yet, the thief Xu Yu is on the run, if you don't kill this person, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in your heart!" ”
He Jin shuddered, Xu You was a staff member of his General's Mansion in the past, and he couldn't escape the blame for committing such a thing this time, without waiting for Liu Hong to say more, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has sent a sea fishing document to all the states and counties in the world, and the soldiers sent Luoyang Jing who is good at criminal investigation to sneak into the people to investigate, I believe that it will not take long to send that Xu You's head to His Majesty." ”
"Humph!" Liu Hong snorted heavily: "As for the family property of the traitor and his dependents this time, I have ordered people to count them one by one, and all their family properties will be confiscated. ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of many people in the DPRK and China changed slightly.
You must know that this time Liu Hong sacrificed a butcher's knife to kill tens of thousands of people, and there were nearly 100 families that were wiped out because of this, and many of those assets were inextricably linked to them, and the marriage between families was the most common, even if his family perished, there was a reason to transfer part of his property to his own name, but now it was cut by Liu Hong so simply and rudely, which is equivalent to cutting off a fortune for many people.
If it was in the past, I am afraid that some people would have jumped out to express their dissatisfaction at this moment, but at this moment, looking at Liu Hong's dangerous gaze, no one in the entire court dared to stand up.
Although those assets are tempting, even if they are taken away, they actually have nothing to lose, but if they jump out at this moment, this majesty is now looking like he wants to kill people, if he pulls himself in and ends up stealing his family and exterminating the clan, it is not cost-effective.
Liu Hong saw that the ministers did not object, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, before he wanted to set up a new army, the ministers not only shirked in every way, the dignified emperor, but he didn't even have the talent to train a new army, or later Ye Zhao came up with the drunken immortal building, so that Liu Hong could scrape together some money and goods that could start the plan, and also let him see how luxurious the courtiers who like to cry poor on weekdays are in private, the world only says that he Liu Hong is mediocre and extravagant, but Liu Hong feels that compared with these people, he is really quite restrained.
However, with the property of these people, the money for the establishment of the new army is finally enough, and after the inspection is completed, Liu Hong is ready to start forming a new army.
Liu Hong knows that his time is short, so he is ready to stabilize Luoyang as soon as possible, and after He Jin's military power is completely taken away, he will revoke the state pastor, and the state and state pastor will return to Beijing to report on their work, the first to open the knife, is that Dong Zhuo, once Dong Zhuo refuses, he will directly send troops to conscript, he will comb the world in the shortest possible time and then hand it over to the heirs.
Seeing that the ministers did not object, Liu Hong was a little disappointed, he wanted to take this opportunity to kill a few more, this courtier is too old, the old one only knows how to care about his family and does not care about the country, Liu Hong feels that above this court, fresh blood is needed to support the backbone of the Han Dynasty.
"Okay, Wei Zhen has already done it, I hope you will do it yourself." Liu Hong sat up straight and said, "Now, it's time for me to reward the meritorious heroes." ”
When the ministers heard this, they unconsciously looked at Ye Zhao, if they said that they had merit, Ye Zhao's merit this time was too great, and many eyes of jealousy or hatred converged on Ye Zhao.
"Ye Zhao!" Sure enough, Liu Hong said directly to Ye Zhao.
"The minister is here!" Ye Zhao took a step forward and bowed.
"This time I went out to patrol the river, but I met Wang Fen, Xu You, and Zhou Jing who rebelled against the ministers and wanted to kill the king, fortunately Ye Qing fought to the death, and I was fortunate to be able to return to Luoyang alive." Liu Hong took a deep breath: "Ye Qing is now a guard lieutenant and a lieutenant of the school, and the official duties are already heavy, I don't want to trouble Qing anymore, but now the court is empty, many ministers have been imprisoned, or beheaded by raiders, for a while, I can't find a suitable candidate to fill the vacancy, Qing used to be Luoyang Ling, quite loved by Luoyang subjects, and today I will make Qing concurrently serve as He/Nanyin." ”
Ye Zhao sighed, the jealous gaze gathered on his body, he even had a burning feeling, as a guard lieutenant, a lieutenant of Si Li, and He/Nanyin, but they were all real power departments, almost including the military and political affairs of Luoyang, if such a big power was still troubled, then these courtiers would rather have more troubles themselves.
"Ye Qing has made meritorious contributions to this escort, and has named Ye Zhao as the Marquis of the Pavilion, rewarded with a thousand gold, and a mansion." Liu Hong seemed to think that the shock of the ministers was not enough, and he took a breath and said: "In addition, the princess of Wannian has passed the year of Jilu, and she has a good impression of Ye Qing. ”
