If you are not disloyal, you are not clear!

Liu Wei suddenly felt a little panicked in his heart, although He Hou said such things at the beginning, but he was unwilling to let Liu Wei be a canary for a lifetime with peace of mind, so he wanted to use Cai Yong, hoping that Cai Yong could help him contact some righteous people who were interested in the royal family!

Cai Yong is a little pedantic, but not stupid, at this time, what does Liu Wei want to do with the righteous people of the royal family, Cai Yong naturally knows, but Guanzhong has experienced successive wars, and it is the time to seek stability, and it is not easy to have such a situation now, and the internal struggle should not continue, at least not at this time.

persuaded Liu Wei a few words, and then Liu Wei said some angry words, which were angry words in Liu Bian's opinion, but in the ears of this old man who had been loyal to the Han family all his life, it was difficult to accept.

was originally sandwiched between Ye Zhao and the royal family, in a dilemma, and there was torment in his heart, but now, Liu Wei was not only inconsiderate, but maliciously speculated and squeezed, which made Cai Yong's heart depressed, plus since the incident in Shuzhong, he was already depressed, and Liu Bian's words finally became the last straw that crushed Cai Yong.

Liu Wei was also a little apprehensive when he heard the news of Cai Yong's illness, but he didn't expect that Ye Zhao would come to the door directly.

Faced with Ye Zhao's attitude that was very different from the past, Liu Wei was a little cowardly, and said glutinously: "I don't know about this matter, maybe they said something to Cai Weng that shouldn't be said......"

"Got it!" Ye Zhao glanced at the celebrities whose faces changed slightly, and waved his hand: "Take it down!" ”

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Several celebrities were shocked when they heard this, but the guard battalion brought by Dian Wei had already pounced on them like fierce gods, and they couldn't help but kick these people to the ground.

"His Highness is too young, it seems that His Highness's staff still needs to be carefully selected by the ministers for His Highness." Ignoring the angry pleas and scolding of several celebrities, Ye Zhao saluted Liu Wei and said, "It's late at night, so the minister won't disturb His Highness's rest." ”

It is impossible to kill Liu Bian, not to mention that in the future, Ye Zhao will use Liu Bian's name to occupy the name of righteousness and fight against the Xuchang Imperial Court, and the crime of killing the monarch, Ye Zhao does not want to wear it, Ye Zhao can only attack Liu Bian's prestige and right to speak to the greatest extent.

"Lord, what should you do with these people?" Out of the palace, Dian Wei glanced at several celebrities and bowed to Ye Zhao.

"Send it to Man Pet and tell him that I want to kill people, but I also want to be famous, including the one who died inside." In the palace behind him, Liu Bi could vaguely hear his unwilling roar, Ye Zhao glanced at several strategists and said indifferently.

"Whoa!" Dian Wei nodded and didn't say anything more.

In the palace, Liu Weijun's expression was a little distorted, and he looked at the direction Ye Zhao left and roared: "Traitor, An dares to bully Yu Gu like this!" ”

"Your Highness, don't be angry." Concubine Tang, who heard the news, hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Liu Wei, and comforted.

"Slut, you're laughing at Lonely!?" Liu Wei had red eyes, looked at Concubine Tang fiercely and said angrily.

"How dare a concubine?" Concubine Tang hurriedly shook her head and said.

"Slut, come over to me!" Liu Wei couldn't help but say, pulled Concubine Tang over, and frantically tore her clothes.

Concubine Tang's face was pale, and she hurriedly said, "Your Highness, don't be here!" ”

"Shut up!"

The sound of scolding gradually changed its taste, and the precious clothes were also frantically torn, Liu Wei needed to vent, but whether it was Ye Zhao or the subordinates in this house, he couldn't move, so he could only find the closest people around him to vent.

In the back hall, He Hou, who had already heard the news, looked at the two people who were gradually stacked together, sighed leisurely, and said to the maidservants behind him: "Dismiss the maids and subordinates around you, don't let them come over." ”

"Whoa!"

A little disappointed glanced at Liu Bian's figure, He Hou sighed, and walked away silently, now, he has no hope for Liu Bian, the only old minister who can be influential by Ye Zhao's side is angry with Liu Bian, at this time, she really doesn't know which way to go, why is he a little tired, he doesn't know why Liu Bian, who was obviously very well-behaved and docile at the beginning, became like this.

Cai Yong is gone, who else can be relied on in this Chang'an City?

When Ye Zhao returned to the Taiwei Mansion, it was already very late, Liu Wei and the others didn't expect Ye Zhao to come back at this time, before Ye Zhao said that it would be half a month for a short time, and a month for a long time, it was only a few days?

"Husband, what happened?" Liu Wei looked at Ye Zhao suspiciously, and the other three also looked at Ye Zhao worriedly.

"It's fine." Ye Zhao stretched out his hand and took Cai Yan into his arms, and looked at everyone with a smile: "The exploration of the mineral vein is relatively smooth, and the rest of the things will be done by yourself, you are all pregnant, and you should come back to accompany your wife more." ”

Cai Yong's matter, in the end, he still didn't let Cai Yan know, although according to the doctor, Cai Yong's deadline is afraid that it will be these days, but if he can delay it for one more day, he is really afraid that Cai Yan will not be able to accept this blow.

Cai Yan was keenly aware that Ye Zhao had something to hide from them, but he didn't ask obediently.

"It's late at night, go back to your room and rest." Ye Zhao supported Cai Yan and hugged Xin'er, these two stomachs were already very big, and he was ready to accompany the two tonight.

……

Cai Yong didn't survive in the end, on the third day of Ye Zhao's return to Chang'an, when he died and his life was dying, Ye Zhao finally took Cai Yan and Cai Yi to Cai's mansion and saw the old man for the last time.

Cai Yong's death represents the end of an era, over the years, the old ministers of the Han family have passed away one after another, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi are now Cai Yong.

Cai Yong's downfall, but also represents the complete fall of Chang'an's banner on behalf of the Han family's loyal ministers, in the past, Cai Yong was alive, and he could also shelter some courtiers loyal to the Han family, with him, even if the situation is difficult, these courtiers will support Liu Wei's side, but with Cai Yong's death, it also represents the complete dissipation of the faction of Ye Zhao's subordinates and loyal ministers of the Han family.

However, for Ye Zhao, this faction has no effect, what he really cares about is that Cai Yan fell ill because of this.

was already pregnant, but now that he has suffered such a blow, if it weren't for Ye Zhao's early preparation and timely care, even if he could save the child, I am afraid that he would have fallen ill.

……

In March, Chang'an was bathed in the spring breeze, on the ridges, the people of Guanzhong had begun to rush for the spring ploughing at the beginning of the year, the beginning of the year was in the spring, the people of Guanzhong were looking forward to a better life in the coming year, and they also had reason to think so.

Since Ye Zhao took power, not only removed a large number of miscellaneous taxes left by Li Dao and Guo Yan, leaving only agricultural taxes and commercial taxes, but also the tax rate was extremely low.

And last year's manure was resisted by everyone, but a small number of people who accepted the government's promotion, last year's production doubled, so that many people in the last year was not over, they have run to the government to ask for the manure production method, if you can be like those people, this year's grain harvest may usher in a big explosion.

In addition, the animal husbandry in Longyou has also begun to bear fruit, and people who have some surplus grain at home have begun to take the initiative to go to the government to buy some chickens, calves and other livestock to store.

As for the cultivation of fruits and vegetables, because everyone is still struggling with food and clothing, it has not developed rapidly, but Ye Zhao is not in a hurry, people's needs are constantly improving with the change of living standards, and when the people no longer have to have a headache for food and clothing, they will naturally begin to pay attention to the improvement of living standards, and then it is the time when these fruits and vegetables really develop.

At present, most of the fields used to grow fruits and vegetables are unrented official land, which is rented by the military or some officials.

After all, the army needs to maintain a nutritional balance, and the huge demand can only be self-sufficient at present.

In addition, Ye Zhao also began to encourage the conduct of private trade, at the latest next year, the commerce of Guanzhong will usher in a metamorphosis like Shuzhong, when the trade between Shuzhong and Guanzhong will begin to circulate, and at the same time, there will be more private caravans in the Western Regions.

After a year of renovation and governance, Chang'an has regained some prosperity, although it cannot be compared with the heyday, but it is many times better than the lifeless atmosphere that Ye Zhao just occupied this city.

Last year, the population of Guanzhong stopped declining, and even increased the population by 10,000 households.

It sounds like a lot less than the previous increase in the population of 100,000 in Shuzhong, but at the beginning, the population of Shuzhong could increase so rapidly, firstly, Ye Zhao continued to naturalize the Nanban and Qiang people, and more importantly, Guanzhong was in turmoil, and most of the population in Shuzhong over the years was from Guanzhong.

Now that Guanzhong is occupied by Ye Zhao, it is difficult to find a place around that can absorb a large number of people, and the strategy of the surrounding Qiang people is still in a soft assimilation state, and many of the 10,000 new populations have returned from Shuzhong, in fact, the increase in the population of the entire Ye Zhao force has not increased much.

According to the predictions of Xi Zhicai, Li Ru, Man Chong, Yan Pu, Fei Guan and others, in addition to Ye Zhao's sphere of influence, it is difficult to have a population explosion like in previous years, if you want to continue to increase the population, in addition to encouraging childbirth, you have to find a way to the surrounding areas, naturalizing the Qiang people and the Hu people is one, but it is best to occupy Xiliang as soon as possible, through the north and south, even if you are not ready to send troops to the Central Plains for the time beingIt is also necessary to grasp the Silk Road in its hands, so as to absorb the population, resources and talents of the countries and grasslands in the Western Regions.

In short, in the fifth year of Jian'an, unless there is a war in the Central Plains that affects the general trend of the world, the goal of Ye Zhao's forces is basically to develop itself.
