Man Chong was arranged by Xi Zhicai in the guest room of Weiwei Mansion. Even if Xi Zhicai was not recommended, he would come to visit him in the past few days. It was precisely because of this that Ye Zhao felt deceived.

However, after a simple exchange, Man Chong's ability was initially recognized by Ye Zhao. In addition to his research and insights in law, his talent and political views were also quite good, even far exceeding Ye Zhao's expectations, and he even knew some military tactics.

Originally, he thought he was just a cruel official, but when he actually saw me, Ye Zhao realized that this talent who could leave a name in history and rank high-ranking officials in the Cao Wei camp was really not a cruel official who could simply summarize it.

Of course, I have no experience in governing, and at most I have been a county magistrate. I left the office shortly after I took office because I offended the powerful and abandoned my official position. Now I have to become a prefect, which seems not very reassuring.

But Ye Zhao had no choice now. Since he wanted to control Hanzhong, he needed to take charge of Hanzhong's government affairs. In terms of military power, Ding Li, Fang Yue and Ji Ling were all competent. Hanzhong had just experienced a purge and was in a power vacuum period. It was easy to take power at this time.

"Boning, I want to explain some things to you first. Hanzhong and I are very important, but there is no person under the tent who can serve as the prefect of Hanzhong. When you first came to my command, I cannot give you trust, so the military power must be in my hands. I will send two people to Hanzhong with you. Ding Li is in charge of the army, and Qiu Chi assists you in sorting out government affairs. During this period, if there is a need for government affairs, they will do their best to help you, but if you find that you do anything that is unfavorable to me, they will imprison you immediately. At the same time, Qiu Chi will temporarily take over the position of prefect. We must first explain this point that Hanzhong cannot be misunderstood for me."

It is not difficult to invite the prefect of Hanzhong. As long as Ye Zhao does not touch the military power outside his control, Liu Hong will give him enough trust, let alone just a prefect of Hanzhong. On the second day after seeing Man Chong, Ye Zhao asked Zhang Rang to convey this to Liu Hong, and the military power was granted to Ding Li by Ye Zhao. He would lead most of the private soldiers of the Ye family to escort a large number of property from the Ye family and craftsmen to Hanzhong with Man Chong. Qiu Chi followed more to coordinate this aspect. The property of the Ye family can be used to develop Hanzhong, and what should he not be touched? Qiu Chi followed Ye Zhao over the years and still knew these things.

I have to use you and guard against you. Moreover, if I say it so openly, no one with some ability will feel comfortable, and I may just leave.

But Man Chong is definitely an exception.

Man Chong acts without caring about human nature and only talks about the law. Ye Zhao's method may be difficult for others to accept, but for Man Chong, if Ye Zhao explains the matter in advance, he can also know where his power is. Both parties don't have to worry about trying to figure it out. This method is better.

"Since Ming Gong said this, Tong won't say much. Tong will do his own job well. As for other things, as long as you don't violate the rules, Tong will never interfere with how Ming Gong arranges it." Man Chong bowed and said.

"Very good!" Ye Zhao smiled with satisfaction: "Ding Li wants to mobilize his troops and have the ability to allocate talents. Bo Ning can stay in the Weiwei Mansion for a few days now."

"Here." Man Chong bowed and agreed, then said goodbye and left.

In the next few days, Ye Zhao did not go out in the mansion, waiting for the emperor's summons. What surprised him was that Liu Wei, who always likes to run here on weekdays, had not seen anyone since she returned to Luoyang.

The days passed day by day. After a month, Liu Hong's illness recovered a little. When he had just recovered from the serious illness, he immediately summoned his ministers to court.

When Ye Zhao walked into the court again, he found that the court was much colder than before. General He Jin was still standing at the top of all officials, but Yuan Wei, who had been in this position as He Jin, was gone, and Situ Chen Dan was also gone. The Grand Marshal has not set up again since Zhang Wen, and now it is hanging in the air. In other words, in the court, after He Jin, the nine ministers are the biggest.

"All the ministers are exempted from courtesy." After the ministers performed the courtesy, Liu Hong stretched out his hand to help him, signaling everyone to avoid courtesy.

Liu Hong is really weak. Even though the doctor has been constantly conditioned this month, he has only eliminated the pain, but his physical deficiency cannot be compensated in just one month.

After knowing his physical condition, Liu Hong almost directly sent Empress He to the cold palace. Originally, Liu Bian's performance during this Northern Tour had improved a little, but this happened, and Liu Bian became even more disgusted.

"I went out to Hejian and wanted to inspect the old house, but I didn't expect that my great man would have such a group of loyal ministers!" Liu Hong glanced at the ministers in the court and sneered: "You may think that my methods are too cruel, but I want to tell you something. The world belongs to my Liu family. No matter how big the aristocratic family is, you are also ministers. You are trying to do something to decree and subvert my great man's country. Then please see if your neck is hard enough, and if you have enough family members, come to tell me about this decree and establish me!"

Perhaps he already knew that his deadline was approaching, and Liu Hong was filled with an indescribable aura. The ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to show off. Even He Jin did not dare to look directly at Liu Hong's gaze at this moment.

Seeing the performance of the ministers, Liu Hong took a deep breath, slapped the table and said, "This matter is not over yet. The thief Xu You is on the run. If you don't kill this person, it will be difficult to relieve my hatred!"

He Jin shivered. Xu You was an aide to his General's Office in the past. He was responsible for committing such a thing. Without waiting for Liu Hong to say anything, he hurried forward and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have sent Luoyang people who are good at criminal investigation into the people to investigate. I believe that it will take soon to send Xu You's head to His Highness."

"Hmph!" Liu Hong groaned heavily: "As for the family property of the extremely family members of the rebels, I have ordered people to count them one by one, and all their property will be confiscated."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the court changed slightly.

You should know that this time Liu Hong sacrificed his butcher knife and killed tens of thousands of people. There were nearly a hundred families who destroyed the clan. Many of those assets were closely related to them. Marriages between aristocratic families were the most common. Even if their family perished, there was a reason to transfer part of their property to his own name. Now, Liu Hong's simple and rough one-size-fits-all approach was cut off from many people's wealth.

If it were in the past, someone might have jumped out to express his dissatisfaction at this moment, but at this moment, looking at Liu Hong's dangerous gaze, no one in the court dared to stand up.

Although those assets are tempting, they actually lost nothing even if they were taken away. But if they jumped out at this moment, this Majesty would want to kill people no matter how he looked. If he pulled himself in, he would be searched and exterminated his family, that would be unprofitable.

Seeing that the ministers did not object, Liu Hong couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Before, he wanted to establish a new army. Not only did the ministers shirk responsibility, but the emperor did not even have the ability to train a new army. Later, Ye Zhao made the Zuixian Tower, which allowed Liu Hong to raise some money that could start the plan, and also made him see how luxurious the court officials who like to cry poor in their daily lives are. People only think that Liu Hong is stupid and luxurious, but Liu Hong feels that compared with these people, he is really restrained.

However, with the property of these people, the money to build a new army was finally enough. After the search was completed, Liu Hong was ready to start forming a new army. As long as the new army was 10%, He Jin's rights would basically be emptied.

Liu Hong knew that he was not long, so he planned to consolidate Luoyang as soon as possible. After He Jin's military power was completely taken away, the provincial governors would be abolished. The provincial governors returned to Beijing to report their duties. The first thing to do was Dong Zhuo. Once Dong Zhuo refused, he would directly send troops to conquer. He would sort out the world in the shortest time and then hand it over to his heirs. In the next day, he would meet the ancestors of the Han Dynasty in the future, and he would also have an explanation.

Seeing that the ministers did not object, Liu Hong was a little disappointed. He wanted to take this opportunity to kill a few more. The ministers in the court were too old. The old only knew to worry about their family and not care about the country. Liu Hong felt that fresh blood was needed in this court to support the backbone of the Han Dynasty.

"Okay, I have already given my power. I hope you can take care of it." Liu Hong sat upright and said, "Now, I should also reward the meritorious ministers."

When the ministers heard this, they unconsciously looked at Ye Zhao. If they said they had made great contributions, Ye Zhao's achievements this time were too great, and many jealous or hatred eyes gathered on Ye Zhao.

"Ye Zhao!" Sure enough, Liu Hong said directly to Ye Zhao.

"I am here!" Ye Zhao stepped forward and bowed.

"This time I went out to Hejian, I met Wang Fen, Xu You, and Zhou Jing, a rebellious minister, who wanted to kill the king. Fortunately, Ye Qing fought to kill the enemy, so I was fortunate to be able to return to Luoyang alive." Liu Hong took a deep breath: "Ye Qing is now the position of Weiwei and the Sili School Commander, and his official duties are already heavy. I did not want to cause trouble to you anymore, but now the court is empty, and many ministers are either imprisoned or their homes are raided. For a while, they cannot find a suitable candidate to fill the vacancy. You were the Luoyang Order in the past and were loved by Luoyang subjects. Today I will order you to serve as the He/Nan Yin again."

Ye Zhao sighed, and the jealous eyes gathered on his body, he even felt a burning pain. He was the three positions of Weiwei, Sili, and He/Nan Yin, but they were all real power departments, almost covering Luoyang's military and political affairs. If such a great power is still a worry, then these court officials would rather have more troubles.
