Yuelai was in the center, Zhang Chao saw the officers and soldiers coming and going downstairs through the window, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing a sly smile.

Zhang Rang would be angry, and he expected to be angry. It's just that now that Wang Yunji has been moved out of the city, and there are people from Tianyan to follow and take care of him along the way, he is not worried that something will go wrong. Zhang Chao was like a person watching the excitement at this time, watching the changes in the situation.

In February 185 AD, a fire broke out in Luoyang, and the South Palace was destroyed.

Among the eunuchs, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong persuaded Emperor Ling to tax acres of land to repair the palace room and cast bronze people to avoid disasters. So Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ordered the world, in addition to the normal rent, the mu tax of ten yuan to help repair the palace. He also issued an edict to send timber and aragonite to the prefecture and county, and transported the Beijing division, and the eunuchs were traitors from it, and the assassins and Taishou increased their private tunes, and the people were resentful.

In addition, it was also stipulated that the assassin Shi, Taishou, Maocai, and filial piety must all pay money to help the army repair the palace, and those who are awarded to the big county must pay 20 or 30 million yuan. Before the new officials take office, they must first go to the West Garden to determine the amount of money. At that time, there may be those who commit suicide because they cannot pay the application. Therefore, when a new official arrives, he must compete to loot the people and accumulate wealth as compensation.

Overwhelmed by the pressure, the people rose up in the west, from Yizhou (present-day Sichuan, Guizhou, and northern Yunnan) to Jiaozhi (present-day Guangdong and Guangxi) in the south. In the Central Plains, there are dozens of rebel armies such as mountains and Huanglong, the big ones have 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, and the small ones are 6 or 7,000, and the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou has more than one million, and the Black Mountain Army is also one million. The rebel army attacked the county and killed the officials, and the momentum was huge, one after another, forming a trend of burning the prairies.

The entire Eastern Han Dynasty has become precarious, and the chaos in the world is intensifying.

Zhang Chao watched all this silently, he knew that the show was about to be staged, and he also needed to hurry up and prepare.

During the day, I went to Cai's mansion, and after exchanging views on the general trend of the world with my future father-in-law Cai Yong, I went to the Houhua Courtyard to chat with Cai Yan for a while.

In the more than a month since he came to Luoyang, Zhang Chao would come to Cai's mansion every once in a while, and after a long time, he naturally became familiar with Cai Yan.

Originally, because of the relationship between the two, they shouldn't see each other more before they got married. But Zhang Chao is a modern person, and he treats these rules as nothing. Cai Yan also wanted to ask him some questions, so they would often meet.

Liu has some opinions on this matter, thinking that it is not in accordance with the rules, and that young men and women have done something impulsively, but it is immoral. But Cai Yong said bluntly, it didn't matter, he said bluntly: "Zhiyuan is a person who does big things, he will not fight on such small things." ”

This is exactly the case, although he often meets Cai Yan, Zhang Chao really hasn't done anything beyond it.

At the earliest, he respected Cai Yan more for the other party's knowledge, after all, he could be listed among the four talented women in ancient times, and he couldn't do it without some real skills.

But after contact, Zhang Chao discovered that Cai Yan has a lot of cute sides. For example, once he says something that the other party has not heard or does not understand, he will chase after him and ask endlessly, and this is when he plays tricks on the other party.

In the beginning, it was said that holding a hand would tell the answer, but later, it became more and more intimate.

Just like today, when Zhang Chao said that there was Chang'e and a Guanghan Palace above the moon, Cai Yan didn't follow it. In her opinion, there could be nothing up there. After asking about this, the two really argued for a while.

In the end, Zhang Chao told the story of Chang'e and Hou Yi, and when he talked about Chang'e eating the elixir and about to soar, he suddenly stopped.

The most feared thing is that he is halfway through the words, where is Cai Yan willing to follow, he has to let him finish speaking.

Looking at Cai Yan's anxious appearance, Zhang Chaoji said in his heart: "I always talk like this, I'm thirsty." ”

"Ahh Then I'll pour you water to drink. Cai Yan said, and wanted to get up in a hurry, but Zhang Chao grabbed his little hand. No! I don't want to drink water. ”

"What do you do when you're thirsty and don't drink water?" Cai Yan asked with a puzzled look.

"The water has no taste, and I want to drink it." Zhang Chao's sly smile hung on his face again.

"Kazu? What is that? Is it fragrant? After hearing this, Cai Yan couldn't help frowning slightly, obviously this was another term she hadn't heard.

In fact, from time to time, all kinds of new words that have not been heard will pop up in Zhang Chao's mouth. At first glance, it was a little incomprehensible, but after thinking about it carefully, it was very appropriate.

"Well, it smells good. And you have it. Zhang Chao said with a smile again.

"I just have it, so why don't you know?" This time, Cai Yan was even more curious.

"Well, that's your saliva." When he said the word saliva, Zhang Chao's face already showed a hint of evil. To say that although Cai Yan is not very beautiful, he does have a temperament that only intellectual women have, and this kind of temperament can indeed fascinate men.

Hearing that Xiangjin turned out to be his own saliva, Cai Yan immediately made a big red face and lowered his head deeply.

At that time, women's feudal thinking was still relatively serious. It's very important to look at your body. Even many women would rather die than do anything beyond the rules in order to protect their bodies. These make Zhang Chao look at it, it is so cute and so sad.

Cai Yan lowered his head, Zhang Chao slowly leaned his head over unrelentingly, and at the same time said, "I have already mentioned to my father-in-law, and they have also agreed to this matter, you are destined to be my wife in this life, so I can't be unruly to kiss you, right?" Besides, I'm just going to kiss it and promise not to do anything else. ”

Listening to Zhang Chao's rhetoric, Cai Yan's face was red to the base of his neck. At that time, women often regarded their husbands as heaven, that is to say, their husbands were heavenly beings in their eyes, so once they had any requirements, they should try their best to meet them.

Deeply educated by such thoughts, Cai Yan finally agreed, after all, he just kissed himself and didn't do anything else.

So, next, our son Zhang Chao will succeed. When the lips met, he could feel the trembling sensation on Cai Yan's body, and he could also feel that the other party's movements were so jerky, and he could feel that the fragrance in his mouth was really sweet, very sweet.

It was really just a taste, although he enjoyed the feeling very much, but Zhang Chao still retreated after kissing it. He didn't want to give Cai Yan the impression that his words didn't count. After saying that, I will only come to Japan, and I will be my own woman in the future, and what I want to do will have opportunities in the future.

kissed and kissed, and then Zhang Chao was going to continue to talk, he said that Chang'e went to the moon, and he missed his husband, and since then he has been alone in the Guanghan Palace, with only a jade rabbit as a companion day and night, and he has never found another man in his life.

When she heard this, Cai Yan actually shed tears, and she couldn't help but say to Zhang Chao: "If I were Chang'e, I would definitely stay there alone, waiting for one day when you come to me, will you come to me?" ”

Looking at Cai Yan's affectionate expectant gaze, Zhang Chao replied very seriously: "I will go to you, I will." ”

Cai Fuzhong chatted with Cai Yan very well, but when he returned to Yuelaiju at night, Zhang Chao's mood was really not very good.

At dinner in the evening, I learned from Cai Yong that the matter of being appointed as a taishou by the imperial court had basically been decided. Zhang Rang and the others have been working hard to operate this matter after receiving the money, but the general He Jin and his family are really obstructing it in every way.

Although it is said that because Zhang Rang has more influence on the Spirit Emperor, there should be no problem in becoming a Taishou, but where he becomes a Taishou is indeed very different.

It's like in Zhang Chao's impression, the best place is, of course, the state.

In terms of geographical environment, it is close to the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other foreign people, and the security situation has not been very good, and few people in the court will pay attention to it. In addition, the Eastern Han Dynasty implemented a friendly policy, to put it bluntly, when those ethnic minorities made trouble, they made money and did their own things.

To be an official there is to swallow your anger and be a man with your tail between your legs, not to mention any oil and water.

It is precisely because everyone is reluctant to go that Zhang Chao likes to go there. Also because of the geographical environment there, in the eyes of others it is a life to be in the nest, but in his eyes it is indeed a place to make great achievements. Even if it is there to train troops in battle, others will not say anything if they know about it.

Therefore, Zhang Chao's goal is to go to the state to take office, and he gave Zuo Feng a lot of benefits for this matter, explaining the goal.

Originally, Zuo Feng couldn't understand how Zhang Chao liked to go to Bingzhou, which seemed to have no oil and water, but was a place with poor public security. It's just that when people asked hard, he agreed and reported this request to Zhang Rang.

If you go to another place, any real power guard, Zhang Rang will have to spend a lot of effort, but if you go to merge with the state, it will be much easier, after all, no one goes to the place? There is no competitiveness.

Zhang Rang also agreed, so that Zhang Chao thought it was a matter of nine out of ten, but no one thought that just today, when discussing Zhang Chao's appointment in front of Emperor Han Ling, He Jin suddenly interjected, saying that Zhang Chao was young and promising, and should not be put in the place where it is difficult to make a difference in Bingzhou, but should be put in Guangling to do Taishou, where there are still yellow turban thieves haunting, let this person go, it can be said that he is doing his duty.

In the eyes of many people, the location of Guangling is much better than that of Bingzhou, at least in the Central Plains, and if something happens, the surrounding counties can provide support. It seems that He Jin is also speaking for Zhang Chao.

Actually, it's very different. Now Guangling is still in the hands of the Yellow Turban Thief, which is equivalent to giving Zhang Chao an empty position, do you really want to seize real power? Well, you've got it down.
