Luoyang, Jiade Hall.

Liu Hong came out of the Jiade Hall a little sleepy and walked casually in the back garden with Zhang Rang. The end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not mean that the world was peaceful. On the contrary, because Liu Hong ordered all prefectures and counties to recruit bravely to clean up the Yellow Turban thieves on their own, the prefectures and counties in various places grew stronger by taking advantage of this chaos. Now, Liu Hong can clearly feel that the court's control over the local area is constantly weakening.

This was the biggest impact of the Yellow Turban Uprising on the Han Dynasty. The local government controlled the military power. The Han Dynasty's military strength increased several times in a year from the past 100,000.

For the court, this is not a good thing. If handled improperly, it is the prototype of warlord separatism. Liu Hong obviously did not want to see this situation form, so it is rare that Liu Hong went to court almost every day during this year, which was almost unimaginable in the past few years.

"Father, who is the world in this world?" Walking in the garden, his eyes were full of withering, which made Liu Hong feel even more heavy. He turned his head to look at Zhang Rangdao.

"All this under the world is the king's land, and the world is naturally the world of Your Majesty." Zhang Rang couldn't figure out Liu Hong's thoughts and quickly smiled.

"Is that true? But I can't feel it." Liu Hong laughed at himself.

Zhang Rang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this meritorious plan is already ready. I wonder how Your Majesty is going to arrange all kinds of soldiers?"

"Do you use my title?" Liu Hong sneered: "Yuan Shao's Sili Captain, Cao Cao is the Prime Minister of Jinan, Yuan Shu is the General of the Hu Ben, and Ye Zhao is the Prefect of Nanyang. Ha, the general's memorial has been written very clearly, and they are all official titles with a rank of two thousand stones. The general is really willing to give up!"

"But this world is His Majesty's world after all. If His Majesty doesn't want to, even a general can't control His Majesty, right?" Zhang Rang bowed and said.

Liu Hong sighed and shook his head and said, "The Yuan family's four generations and three masters, and the Yuan brothers have made achievements this time. Even if there is no general, these two people's official positions are matched. Cao Cao is highly praised by Yi, and it is also a rare talent. It's better to train it, but this Ye Zhao..."

Zhang Rang smiled and said, "Ye Zhao's outstanding achievements this time, but in terms of his merits, I'm afraid that the three generals of the Central Army are not as good as those of the three generals. But for some reason, they are ranked among Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. The thieves in Nanyang are rampant. Although the thieves are determined, they are no longer as prosperous as before. Although they have the power of military and political affairs, they are in name only, which is unfair to them."

"Unfair?" Liu Hong said with a complicated look: "I think I've given too much."

"Why did Your Majesty say this?" Zhang Rang looked at Liu Hong in confusion.

"Let your father remember when Ye Zhao first entered the official career, where was his official position?" Liu Hong did not answer, but asked back.

"This..." Zhang Rang looked at Liu Hong, probably already understood Liu Hong's thoughts, and lowered his head and said, "Ma Cheng Ling, also holds the position of Chief Commander."

"Yes, the military and political are in control." Liu Hong nodded and smiled, "There is only three thousand households in Macheng, which is a small city, and is on the border. It will be threatened by Hu's dangers for a long time. I didn't care about it at first, but who would have thought that within three years, he would have ordered Macheng to be governed with a household registration of more than 10,000 yuan, becoming a major county in Youzhou, which would have stirred up the border storm. Xianbei, Wuhuan and even the Southern Xiongnu were played with and applauded by them."

"Macheng is only a small county, but in just three years, it has given him a formation of princes. If he was asked to go to Nanyang and hold military and political power, I really can't imagine what the situation in Nanyang will be in three years?" Liu Hong sighed: "And this son is both civil and military, and he is even more powerful in governing the army. Look at the achievements..."

"He is a disciple of Weng Cai, and he has always been loyal to His Majesty." Zhang Rang smiled and said, "It should not endanger the country."

"It's hard to predict!" Liu Hong shook his head: "This person is talented, but if he uses it badly, it will backfire himself."

Liu Hong was in a position, so he naturally would not easily believe in the so-called loyalty. Huangfu Song was also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but when it involved his own interests, he would still make things difficult for the court. People always have selfish desires.

"Then why didn't your Majesty recruit him into Luoyang? It would not be considered as burying this talent." Zhang Rang smiled. Since Liu Hong did not want Ye Zhao to take charge of military power, although he had received benefits, he would not go against the emperor's wishes at this time. He knew very well who gave him his power today. If he had the chance, he would not mind helping Ye Zhao, but this premise was that his opinion was consistent with Liu Hong's will. When the two were contrary, he would choose to support Liu Hong without hesitation.

"When entering Luoyang, the Nine Ministers have no share in his position!" Liu Hong shook his head. This is an era where the origin determines the future. The three dukes and Nine Ministers are not allowed to take office without respect for their virtues. Even Liu Hong cannot be appointed by his own temperament. Now that the party ban has been lifted, how many party members have returned to the court. Once he does this, I don't know how many people will come to risk their lives to give advice. Even if Ye Zhao's merits are of high status, he will not be able to take office.

"I heard that Ye Zhao is not only good at leading troops, but also the reputation of judging cases among the people." Zhang Rang said with a smile.

Deciding a case is like a god?

Liu Hong smiled and said, "I want to take a look when I have the chance. However, although he can sit in the seat of Luoyang Order, he may not be able to sit steadily."

Don’t look at the Luoyang Order is just a county magistrate, but its status is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary county magistrates. Luoyang is the capital of a country. In addition to the restricted military power, the Luoyang Order controls the judicial, economic, public security and other rights of Luoyang, and its status is even higher than that of a state governor. In the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, several powerful Luoyang Orders were issued, and even the emperor did not give him face.

"That's what Ye Zhao should worry about. Why should Your Majesty worry about him?" Zhang Rang smiled and said, "Su Wen Ye Zhao was strict in enforcing the law, but I don't know if this can still be done in Luoyang? I'm a little looking forward to it."

Liu Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this and said with a smile: "Yes, let him be the Luoyang Order. I also want to see his ability to judge cases like a god."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Rang bowed and smiled.

...

Liang State, Sui Yang.

Ye Zhao was not too worried about how the court settled himself. He could figure out the general direction. Anyway, Mu Shou's side had no place, and now it was not a real good time for Mu Shou's side, so although he gave gifts to the Ten Changshou as usual, he was not too concerned.

The family had been arranged by Ye Zhao to Ding Li, and Fang Yue led the family soldiers back to Huai County, but Ye Zhao did not leave Suiyang. Qian Mo, the big genius, had not been dug up here, and Ye Zhao was really reluctant to leave.

In the Qian Family Manor, Ye Zhao held the fishing rod bored and was drowsy. Now he is no longer the magistrate of Suiyang County, so he naturally cannot continue to live in the Suiyang County Government. However, he is famous in Liang Kingdom. Zhang Qiang and others warmly invite him, so he would not let Ye Zhao stay in the inn. However, most of the time, Ye Zhao lived in Qian Mo's manor.

"This year has passed, and the mansion will not go back and hold his beautiful wife and concubine waiting for the imperial court to reward him, but he is lingering here. What's the reason?" Qian Mo sat on the ground and looked at Ye Zhao with a funny look.

"The road ahead is unclear." Ye Zhao held the fishing rod and thought about his thoughts, too lazy to go and see.

"The hero who defeated the Yellow Turbans is now famous. I am afraid that the prime minister and county magistrate have never had such glory as you in this Liang Kingdom. How can you say that the future is unclear?" Qian Mo said with a smile.

"You~" Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "This ability to pretend to be crazy and stupid is becoming more and more pure. This time he is too sharp, so he is afraid that he will make many enemies."

"Since you know this, why do you still have to show your strength?" Qian Mo said inexplicably.

"In this world, there are many things that have to be done. If I learn the doctrine of the mean, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve success in my life." Ye Zhao looked at Qian Mo with an unconcealed uproar on his face: "The chaos in the world has arisen, and I should have planned it early. Since Zhicai asked today, Zhao doesn't want to be vain with you anymore. Zhicai has talent. Many things that I can't see clearly. Zhicai can better understand than me. I have met you and I, and I will be able to detect the intention of inviteing each other. No less than three times. Zhao's sincerity is here. Zhicai really doesn't think about it?"

Qian Mo heard this and his expression became so serious that he looked at Ye Zhao: "I dare to ask the envoy, if I don't follow, how will the envoy treat me?"

"There is a very interesting person in the Yellow Turban Army. Liao Chun was later renamed Liao Hua. He disagrees with my philosophy, so he gains and loses again. Before he left, he asked me why he didn't kill him." Ye Zhao turned his head and looked at Qian Mo and said, "He was in charge of the army, in politics, and his strategy was not as good as me. I don't think he is harmless to me, so what do you think by letting it go?"

"It's reasonable. It seems that if Qian doesn't leave with you this time, he may be killed." Qian Mo said with a smile.

"Zhao doesn't want that day." Ye Zhao did not answer, but shook his head and sighed: "In fact, this is not the time when you come out of the mountain, nor is it the best time for me to recruit you."

Qian heard this and smiled without saying a word.

"However, I don't want you if the time is right, what's the use of me?" Ye Zhao turned around and looked at Qian Mo with a bright look. At this moment, he did not hide his ambition. The Yellow Turban Rebellion had shaken the foundation of the Han Dynasty. It was not difficult for some people who knew it. It was impossible for him to expose his ambition at this time.

"Since that's the case, the lord should accept my benefactor!" Qian Mo said with a smile.

"Your worship is not sincere!" Ye Zhao shook his head and sighed.

"Just as the lord said, if the time is not right, you force me to be convinced, it would be a bit difficult for me, but I am also a person who cherishes my life. Although the minister said that I was only forty, he did not say that I had died young. Therefore, I was afraid that I would go to Luoyang with my lord. As for what happened in the future, it depends on the will of God." Qian Mo stood up and said.

"Okay, it depends on the will of God." Ye Zhao stood up and smiled, "But I believe that God's will usually stand on the side of those who are sincere."

"The sincerity of the lord... is a bit thin." Qian Mo said with a smile.

"As time goes by, it will be thicker." Ye Zhao smiled happily and said, "Dian Wei, prepare for the horse!"

"So anxious?" Qian Mo was stunned.

"The imperial edict from the court is coming down soon, don't give someone a handle." Ye Zhao waved his hand and smiled, "I just have to work hard and have some luck."
