In the wing room of the restaurant, looking at Cao Cao's smiling face, Ye Zhao shook his head and smiled: "I just know that your meal is not delicious, let's say, what's the matter, if you can help, you must do your best." ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Since Your Majesty returned to Beijing, his suspicions have become increasingly serious, and Cao Cao has no choice but to come to Xiu Ming for help." ”

"What the hell? Between you and me, you don't have to be so secretive, right? Ye Zhao picked up the wine, his eyes wandered in the Drunken Immortal Building, the Drunken Immortal Building, which used to be full every day, seemed to have also been affected and became much colder, although there were still many people, but it did not have the enthusiasm of the past.

"Can Xiu Ming know that His Majesty wants to set up a new army?" Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao and asked.

"Mengde is well-informed." Ye Zhao's eyes fell on the shy flower who was dancing the sword in the middle of the dance floor, shook his head and said: "I can only try my best to help Meng De in this matter, as for whether it will be successful or not, Zhao can't guarantee it." ”

In Liu Hong's previous letter to him, he had asked Ye Zhao's opinion on how to select and distribute the new army, and Liu Hong had already planned in the general direction, but who would be the commander of the new army had not yet been decided.

Ye Zhao is now a guard lieutenant and a lieutenant of Si Li, and the military affairs in the Luoyang Palace, Si Li, and Sanfu are all controlled by him, and there is already a lot of military power, and the commander of the new army will definitely not be Ye Zhao's turn, even if Liu Hong believes in him again, after what happened to He Jin, it is impossible for him to concentrate all the military power on one person.

Moreover, after the assassination in Jizhou, Liu Hong's suspicion was quite heavy, Ye Zhao had just returned to Beijing at this time, if he interfered in the affairs of the new army, it would be that he did not know how to advance or retreat.

"It's good that Xiu Ming is willing to help, Cao has already moved a little, and Xiu Ming doesn't need to do more, if His Majesty asks, Xiu Ming will help Cao say a few words." Cao Cao laughed.

Although Cao Song's Taiwei is a little suspected of being an upstart, after so many years of accumulation, he still has some connections in Luoyang.

"Even if you don't say this, when Your Majesty asks, I will still pull you back?" Ye Zhao glared at Cao Cao and said unhappily.

"I know that it is not too early to cultivate righteousness, so I will leave first." Cao Cao laughed, stood up and bowed to Ye Zhao, and hurried away without waiting for Ye Zhao to return the salute.

This Cao Cao ...... Ye Zhao shook his head, it was really hard to imagine that the fiery Cao Cao in front of him would be the troubled hero in history.

"Slave and maid, see the lord." After sitting for a long time, Ye Zhao was about to leave, and the shy flower who finished the performance came upstairs, nominally to toast Ye Zhao, although many people invited the shy flower to accompany the wine, but seeing that it was the invitation of the Sihai Pavilion, the interested one was silent.

Although the four beauties of this drunken immortal building are good, this Sihai Pavilion is not something that ordinary people can sit on, if they don't have enough identity, no matter how much money they give, ordinary people can't get in.

"How did you know I was here?" Ye Zhao looked at the shy flower in surprise and wondered.

"The Four Seas Pavilion was contracted in the name of the lord, and the old bustard came to pass it on before, and the slave and maid naturally knew." Shy Flower bowed.

"In my name?" Ye Zhao was stunned for a moment, then reacted, looked at the shy flower and said incredulously: "That is to say...... Cao Cao didn't pay? ”

"Since the lord has come, how can he collect money?" Shame Flower shook her head and looked at Ye Zhao puzzled.

"Slut!" Ye Zhao rubbed his temples helplessly, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, I should go back too, you can go." ”

"Whoa!" Shy Flower bowed and obediently exited the room.

Ye Zhao didn't have the heart to stay here, got up and walked out, this Luoyang City is now being killed by Liu Hong, he returned to Beijing this time, he can be regarded as a man of the hour, his words and deeds are concerned, it is really not suitable to hang around outside.

In the next few days, Ye Zhao stayed in the Weiwei Mansion, although Yuan Shao was dismissed from the official position of Si Li's lieutenant, but the mansion was not recovered, and Ye Zhao was alienated from what happened in Luoyang during this time in the mansion.

In addition to Liu Hong's return to Beijing, in the past three months, Liu Hong has carried out a series of changes to Luoyang people, including Luoyang Ling, He/Nanyin, Huben Zhonglang General and other important positions of personnel transfer, this time Liu Hong came with anger, as soon as he came back, tens of thousands of heads fell to the ground, and many people were imprisoned, which made Luoyang people panic, even if they were dissatisfied with Liu Hong's transfer, no one dared to touch Liu Hong's brows at this time, so that Liu Hong made a bold combing of Luoyang.

In terms of military power, Liu Hong separated the captains of the north and south palaces from the Weiwei Mansion, and joined forces with the general of Huben Zhonglang, and produced a series of personnel exchanges, Ye Zhao is now completely isolated from the inner palace, Liu Hong obviously wants to hold the military power of this palace in his own hands, and at the same time, He Jin's military power has also been reduced a lot during this time.

Ye Zhao made a silent calculation in his heart, Liu Hong's transfer did not seem to deal with He Jin, but Hu Ben Zhonglang added the soldiers and horses of the captains of the north and south palaces together, there were nearly 5,000 people, plus Ye Zhao's brigade and three guards and the bus order and the division of the school captain, adding up to 16,000 people, and whether Ye Zhao's brigade Ben Sanwei or Hu Ben Zhonglang general's department, they were all responsible for the defense of Luoyang City, although He Jin's military power was still huge, but the five schools of the Northern Army, the Yulin Army and the Chengmen Tun Army were all stationed outside the city.

In this way, although He Jin's soldiers and horses are numerous, they are all outside the city, and the entire Luoyang City, especially after Ye Zhao led the army back, Liu Hong's control over the army in the city has reached an unprecedented peak, at this time, even if He Jin has any bad intentions, Liu Hong can control He Jin at any time at the first time, although there are many soldiers and horses outside the city, but they dare not rashly attack the city, in this way, He Jin's influence on the government has been weakened a lot.

This hand is very clever, almost through the mood of rage, quietly and completely draining He Jin's military power in Luoyang City.

Whether it is Ye Zhao or General Hu Ben Zhonglang or even the north and south palaces, they are Liu Hong's henchmen, even if He Jin holds the general's talisman, he can't mobilize these people at all.

Sitting on the comfortable Hu bed, Ye Zhao closed the bamboo note, closed his eyes, and frowned: "I'm too anxious." ”

Xi Zhicai on the side took a sip of wine and didn't speak, but Huang Shao and Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao: "What does the lord mean by this?" ”

"Your Majesty's move, you can't say wrong, but very smart, at least for now, there is no problem, He Jin is now in this Luoyang City, is already meat on the chopping board, as long as he slowly removes the minions around him one by one, He Jin has the position of a general, but he has no power to be a general, wait a few more years, whether His Majesty wants to abolish the position of a general or kill He Jin, it is all in a thought, just ...... His Majesty wants to set up a new army, now everyone in Luoyang City is already known, the soldiers and horses in the city have been distributed, in a short period of time, there can be no movement, this to set up a new army, must start from the five schools of the Northern Army, the Yulin Army and the city gate of the army, which will definitely make He Jin uneasy. Ye Zhao lightly clasped the table, looked at Qiu Chi and Huang Shao and said: "You two go back separately, arrange military affairs at the same time, pay close attention to the movements of the General's Mansion, I think Your Majesty should summon me as soon as possible in the next two days." ”

"Whoa!" Huang Shao and Qiu Chi got up, agreed, and left, leaving only Ye Zhao and Xi Zhicai in the room.

Ye Zhao frowned and thought about his thoughts, but Xi Zhicai was drinking silently, and for a while, the room was silent.

"Dong Zhuo has led the matter of Liangzhou Shepherd, Mr. should know." After a long time, Ye Zhao broke the silence and looked up at Xi Zhicai For him, the tilting of these rights in Luoyang is not the point, the focus is on the situation in the whole world today.

Dong Zhuo's refusal of the imperial court's edict to recruit Luoyang this time, and to receive the Liangzhou pastor himself, is definitely not a good thing for the imperial court, with this leader, I am afraid that in the future, there will continue to be people to follow suit, and the imperial court's control over the states and counties will continue to shrink.

"Humble but heard." Xi Zhicai nodded silently, looked at Ye Zhao and said, "What are the plans?" ”

Ye Zhao raised his head, looked at Xi Zhicai, and did not answer this question, but said: "On this tour, I asked the imperial doctor, if Your Majesty's body is carefully recuperated, it may be able to support another five or six years, but for some reasons, I am afraid that it will only have a lifespan of one year at most." ”

Liu Hong was first instigated by Yang Qian, and was administered a fierce drug, which depleted the vitality that had not been raised again, and then in the ice and snow, he ran around one after another, and was even more frightened, and did not have a good rest after returning to Luoyang, followed by killing and some power transfers, and finally directly exhausted himself.

Although Ye Zhao didn't ask the imperial doctor again, after such a toss, Liu Hong's body was afraid that it would be difficult to raise it again, so Ye Zhao judged that Liu Hong's time was running out, and he was very optimistic about a year.

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai raised his head, looked at Ye Zhao, and said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, the lord should seek the foundation of his life as soon as possible!" ”

"Luoyang can't do it?" A touch of unwillingness flashed in Ye Zhao's eyes, with his current status and military power in Luoyang, once Liu Hong died, he may not be able to take advantage of the situation and order the princes to serve the Son of Heaven, but Xi Zhicai's meaning is to let Ye Zhao find a way out as soon as possible, which makes Ye Zhao unwilling, if he can succeed, he may be able to end the troubled times early.

"The lord seems to be in a high position now, but how many soldiers and horses are in Luoyang? If there is really a big chaos in the world, as the lord, I am afraid that the princes of the world will fight together, and the troops in the hands of the lord can be sure to deal with the soldiers and horses of the world? Xi Zhicai didn't answer, but looked at Ye Zhao and said indifferently.

To put it simply, Ye Zhao's identity is not enough to assist the new emperor in governing the world, if he is forced to sit in that position, it will only make the princes of the world have a tongue to crusade against him, and on the other hand, Ye Zhao has no backup at all except for Luoyang's military power.

When Ye Zhao heard this, he silently closed his eyes, and Xi Zhicai didn't say much, and continued to drink silently, and the room was silent again.
