The re-opening of the state pastoral system also represents the further weakening of the royal family's control over local areas. Unlike the governor, the state pastor has direct mobilization of troops and has the right to appoint and remove officials in the state. Military power and human rights fall into the hands of the state pastor, and the influence of the court on the local officialdom will be greatly weakened.

Ye Zhao had to sigh that the aristocratic family had chosen the right time this time. Before the war in Xiliang was over, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou resurrected and mobilized all the troops in Luoyang, causing the aristocratic family to take action at this moment, causing the imperial court to fall into an embarrassing situation where there is no military force to adjust.

As for the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Hanzhong, Jingxiang and even the Sanfu, although these ministers boasted so well, Ye Zhao did not believe even a punctuation.

Not to mention the three pictures, he participated in the pacification of the Yellow Turbans in Jingzhou. Even if there were a few fish that had escaped the net, if they did not hide in the mountains and became their own mountain king, they would come out to cause trouble. It was simply because they didn't die quickly enough. Moreover, the so-called "Yellow Turban Remnants" appeared this time, which was extremely targeted. Su Gu, Hanzhong and the people who protected Su Gu, died. The layout planned by Ye Zhao for Liu Hong was almost uprooted apart a year ago.

These "Yellow Turban Remnants" were simply aimed at the promotion of paper books. Before the impact caused just now was expanded, they were strongly suppressed by these "Yellow Turban Remnants". How could this be the style of the Yellow Turban?

But what Ye Zhao didn't expect was that Liu Yan, who was a sect, was actually standing in the camp of the aristocratic family this time.

Who will benefit the state patriarchal system reboot the most?

Liu Hong could indeed send the royal family to serve as the governor of some prefectures and counties, but how many people in the royal family could take on this important task? In the end, they would have to choose a respected person from the aristocratic family to take on the role. In this way, the aristocratic family would gain greater real power.

The court meeting ended in a strange atmosphere. The ministers dispersed. Ye Zhao, who was about to leave the palace, was called by Qian Man and was taken back to the palace.

When he saw Liu Hong again, Ye Zhao could clearly feel that Liu Hong was much more haggard. It was only less than a cup of tea, but at this moment, Liu Hong gave Ye Zhao a feeling like an old man who was about to die. He was not in appearance, but in his mental state. Because Ye Zhao's mental power was different from ordinary people, he felt more clearly about this.

"I am Ye Zhao, please see Your Majesty." Ye Zhao bowed to Liu Hong and said respectfully.

"Ye Qing, can I... still believe you?" Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao, with a different brilliance in his eyes.

"The heaven can tell my heart about Your Majesty." Ye Zhao bowed and said.

"If I hadn't been for the small profit this time, Ye Qing's plan would not have been slapped in one year." Liu Hong sighed. The Hanzhong Bookstore brought too much profit. Just one month's profit would be worth the military pay of the fifth school in Luoyang. It was not that Liu Hong didn't want to listen to Ye Zhao. He just wanted to push this time limit back and use Hanzhong Bookstore to alleviate the economic pressure and give him more money to form a new army.

The general He Jin, who was promoted by Liu Hong himself, is now a little overwhelming. Liu Hong urgently hopes that the general's power will be captured in his hands again, so that he can undermine He Jin.

The huge profits brought by Hanzhong Bookstore made Liu Hong lose his usual mind. Seeing the benefits of this huge profit, he ignored the harm that Ye Zhao mentioned at the beginning.

"No one is wrong. Your Majesty has done a good job. I can understand your Majesty's difficulties." Ye Zhao sighed secretly. The emperor is rich in the world. If he had no choice, how could he be like a poor man who was confused because of this small profit? But in this way, the affairs of the bookstore have made the aristocratic families feel alert. Even if he gives himself a year or even longer, Ye Zhao can't complete the plan silently like in Hanzhong.

Liu Hong waved his hand and smiled, "Ye Qing doesn't need to be enlightened for me. You suggested that you spread the papermaking and printing technology to spread. I guess you have concluded that it was the most suitable time. Now it seems that it is just as Ye Qing expected."

Ye Zhao didn't say anything. It would be enough for businessmen to see the benefits in this kind of thing. Neither himself nor Liu Hong were suitable for too much involvement. Unfortunately, it would be meaningless to talk about these things now.

"I ask you, if papermaking and printing are announced to the public at this time, can the situation be restored?" Liu Hong suddenly stared at Ye Zhao and asked in a deep voice.

Ye Zhao greeted Liu Hong's gaze and shook his head slowly: "The time has passed. If you force this announcement at this time, I am afraid that the world will be filled with smoke and smoke, and my country will be in the Han Dynasty..."

Ye Zhao did not finish his words, but his meaning was clear. Since the aristocratic family already knew about this, if Liu Hong insisted on doing this, it would only arouse the anger of the entire aristocratic family. A Hanzhong Bookstore had already allowed the Yellow Turbans of Hanzhong, Jingxiang and the Three Auxiliary Land to rise again. If Liu Hong sacrificed these two things at this time, it would certainly break the situation, but the Han Dynasty would bear the full counterattack of the aristocratic family.

The court is now full of smoke. If there is another wave, it is probably not necessary to come to Beijing to break up the fragile court and enter the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The royal family, like the Zhou emperor in the past, became a mascot.

Ye Zhao, as a close minister of today, just offended Yuan, and may die even worse!

Liu Hong nodded silently, looked up at Ye Zhao and said, "According to your opinion, what should I do now?"

"Quickly quell the wars of all parties!" Ye Zhao said in a deep voice: "The Qiang people in Xiliang and the Yellow Turbans of Jizhou have already made Luoyang lose their deterrence, so they can do something. The Yellow Turbans dare to launch riots in Sanfu, Hanzhong, Hanzhong, and Hanzhong. When the wars in the two places are quickly quelled, the troops will be brought back to Luoyang, and the control over Yingchuan and Jingxiang, Your Majesty has restarted the state patriarchal system, and you can use remote and remote places such as Yizhou, Yangzhou, Youzhou, and Xiliang. However, the rich places such as Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Jingzhou must not use them, but must be held in your Majesty. In addition, Bingzhou is close to Luoyang and is a key border defense area. You must not use them to separate the military power, and the military power of the general..."

Ye Zhao looked up at Liu Hong.

"How?" Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao.

"Too heavy!" Ye Zhao said in a deep voice.

"You... are really loyal ministers!" Liu Hong walked to Ye Zhao's side, patted Ye Zhao's shoulder heavily and said, "Don't worry, Ye Qing, I have long been worried about this matter. At this time, according to Ye Qing's words, first quell the civil strife and then gain military power."

"Your Majesty is wise." Ye Zhao bowed and said.

"I'm tired, please step back." Liu Hong waved his hand tiredly.

"Here! I'm leaving!" Ye Zhao bowed and slowly retreated from the hall, then turned around and walked out of the palace.

"Tianxia..." Looking at Ye Zhao's back, Liu Hong sighed silently, turned his head to look at Zhang Rang and said, "What do you think this son is this?"

Zhang Rang was stunned, unable to figure out what Liu Hong meant, and bowed and said, "I don't know, but I just look at Wei Wei's words and deeds, so I should not be like a traitor."

"It's not so easy to distinguish between loyalty and treacherous." Liu Hong shook his head and sighed: "But Ye Qing said it right. Now we should focus on stability. I have not chosen the wrong Wei Wei."

...

Both Ye Zhao and Liu Hong, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, had a very consistent view on the current situation, which was to seek stability and stabilize the current situation first. If the Han Dynasty collapsed now, it would be of no benefit to anyone. In order to solve the problem of Xiliang as soon as possible, Liu Hong moved Yuan Wei to the Taifu, and Zhang Wen replaced the position of Taiwei, hoping that Zhang Wen could resolve the chaos in Xiliang as soon as possible.

As for Jizhou, Liu Hong was not too worried. Yuan Shao fought well in this battle. He defeated the Yellow Turban Army several times. Most of the remaining Yellow Turban Remnants fled into the Taihang Mountains. After half a year of war, Jizhou became increasingly stable.

The army sent by the imperial court to Jizhou has begun to return to Luoyang in batches.

Ye Zhao has gradually reduced the number of times he met Liu Hong alone during this period. He has already felt that a large number of strange faces have been constantly appearing around his Weiwei Mansion recently. Not only the Weiwei Mansion, but the Ye Mansion in the past also had similar situations. Even a few days ago, Liang Shu sent someone to send a message to the old house in Huai County that there will always be many new faces appearing near the Ye family recently.

Although Uncle Liang is just a housekeeper, the old man who has lived for most of his life has no great wisdom. However, he is not incapable of managing the Ye family in an orderly manner. At least his eyes are very bright and he can be very good at training. As long as he takes a look, he can roughly know what the other party is doing.

A large number of "unemployed vagrants" appeared near the Ye family, and they were not peddlers at first glance, which naturally aroused the vigilance of Uncle Liang.

This means that someone has already put his attention on himself. After all, the Hanzhong Bookstore incident has had too much impact, and it almost caused a riot among the aristocratic families. Although the storm has passed, the aristocratic families have obviously not given up on exploring the root cause of this matter.

As a close minister of the emperor, Ye Zhao had already thought that something would happen when Liu Hong refused to expel the technology and made arrangements in advance. Ye Zhao had ordered Ding Li to quietly escort away the craftsmen secretly over the years. The Ye family's workshop also mainly focused on creating some agricultural tools, furniture and other things. In this era of underdeveloped criminal investigation, it was enough for Ye Zhao to remove all kinds of traces calmly. This family that was secretly investigated naturally could not find anything. As long as Liu Hong did not shake off this matter, no one would know that Ye Zhao was the planner of the matter.

For those who were secretly surveillance, Ye Zhao asked everyone not to pay attention to it and live whatever they should do. Ye Zhao calmed down and focused on training the two schools under the Weiwei, and occasionally pulled out the female barracks to train together.

However, without the battle, Ye Zhao naturally would not waste a lot of money on these people. After all, it is not his own soldier, so it is impossible to eat meat every meal. In addition to the basic training required every day, he basically maintains the intensity of training every five days.

As for the female barracks, as soldiers brought by Ye Zhao himself, even if they cannot be together frequently now, the training intensity has not been relaxed. One year is enough to make these female soldiers undergo complete changes.

Time passed the third year of Zhongping without realizing it. Just when Liu Hong thought that the world was becoming more and more stable and could reconsider how to deal with the scholar class, reality gave him a fierce slap. At the beginning of the fourth year of Zhongping (187 AD), Xiliang fell. Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, and Fu Xie, the prefect of Hanyang, died in battle. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Chun, a native of Yuyang County, and Zhang Ju, joined forces with Wuhuan to launch a rebellion in Youzhou, killing Ji Chou, the prefect of Wuhuan, Liu Zheng, the prefect of Youbeiping, and Yang Zhong, the prefect of Liaodong, and even raised the flag to be called emperor!
