"Lord, the Empress Dowager is invited." When he returned to the general's mansion, he saw Ren Hongchang coming over and bowed to Ye Zhao and said.

"Empress Dowager?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows. After returning to Hanzhong, Ye Zhao would visit Liu Bian regularly and occasionally bring Liu Wei with him. However, Empress He and Ye Zhao did not often see each other. After all, there are some taboos that can be avoided. Moreover, the relationship between Ye Zhao and Empress He was not very good. When Liu Hong was still alive, because of He Jin, Empress He obviously had no good feelings for Ye Zhao.

"Okay, I have been back in Hanzhong for a long time and have not officially met the Empress Dowager, so I am a little rude." Ye Zhao nodded silently. Although he didn't know what Queen was going to do, he thought it was something to ask.

He didn't go back to the mansion now, and took Ren Hongchang and Dian Wei straight to the Hongnong Mansion next door.

The Hongnong Prince's Mansion is next to Ye Zhao's General's Mansion. The specifications are all built according to the prince's specifications, which are more luxurious and solemn than Ye Zhao's General's Mansion.

Although they are next door, the two sides are not close to each other. The gates of this gate are talking about the main gate. Although Hanzhong is now closed and Liu Bian is now just an abolished emperor, not as eye-catching as Liu Xie, as long as the world is still a great man in name, they must abide by the rules that should be followed. To enter the Hongnong Prince's Mansion, you must walk into the main gate with dignity. It is also to tell everyone that Ye Zhao is open and upright and has no intention of doing anything.

The Hongnong Prince's Mansion is also under the supervision of the Nefan Camp. Fifty people are stationed here on weekdays. Ren Hongchang, Li Shuxiang and Ma Nanxiang take turns to be on duty. Ren Hongchang is on duty today. Because He Hou had to meet Ye Zhao, he came to communicate.

"Hongchang, do you know what the Empress Dowager is asking me for?" Ye Zhao asked while heading to the courtyard where the Empress Dowager lives.

The Empress Dowager suddenly summoned her and must have asked for something.

"This time, the lord moved the people of Nanyang to Hanzhong, and the empress dowager was also a native of Nanyang. Recently, many relatives have come to join us." Ren Hongchang explained.

So that's it, feelings are for the official.

When Ye Zhao heard this, he sighed in his heart, this woman is indeed worried.

Queen He, who is in her early thirties, is the most touching period for a woman. Her long-term luxury and well-maintenance also makes Queen He not look like a mother of a child. Putting aside her temperament, Queen He is indeed a rare beauty, but there is a sense of meanness between her eyebrows, which also makes her originally delicate outline look uncomfortable.

"My minister Ye Zhao, please see the Queen Mother." After seeing Empress He, Ye Zhao did not look at her for a long time and bowed her head.

"Mr. Ye doesn't have to be too polite." Queen He sighed, Yingying stood up, walked to Ye Zhao with a ray of fragrant wind, and smiled and said, "I and King Hongnong can survive, and I have to rely on Mr. Ye to sacrifice his life to save him."

"This is the duty of the minister, and I dare not take credit for it." Ye Zhao said calmly: "I don't know if the Queen Mother is looking for the minister to come, but is there any important matter?"

"There is nothing important." Empress He shook her head and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "Ye Qing, remember that during his lifetime, the Emperor trusted you the most, saying that you are the pillar of my great man and will be the minister of the debate in the future."

"The former emperor is wrong, and I just do my duty." Ye Zhao said calmly.

Queen He exchanged a few more greetings, mostly praises. Ye Zhao was calm and was not moved by Queen He's beautiful words. He just looked at Queen He lightly and waited for the following text.

"I heard that Hanzhong is now in a state of disrepair, especially lacking officials. There are a few people in my tribe, and they are considered talents in their size. I don't know..." Seeing that Ye Zhao was not in trouble, He finally lost his patience and made a clear idea.

"The government has its own regulations. As long as it can pass the selection of the prefect's office, it can become an official. The empress dowager can teach these people to go to the prefect's office to find Man Chong. Even if there is no minister's words and the empress dowager's dialect, Man Chong will not dare to neglect it." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Ye Zhao has already handed over the appointment and removal of officials to Man Chong. Anyone who is willing to serve in Hanzhong can go to Man Chong's place, and the prefect's office will give questions, some governance methods, or some practical questions to those who come to join. The prefect will be responsible for the judgment based on his performance, and Man Chong and Xi Zhicai will be responsible for the judgment. As long as he can pass the test, he will not be concerned about his morality and can be admitted to Hanzhong.

"It is precisely because of this that I came to find Ye Qing." A look of anger flashed in He Hou's eyes and said, "When Man Chong heard that he was a member of the tribe of this palace, he refused to include it. It was really hateful."

"What happened?" Ye Zhao turned around and looked at Ren Hongchang and said, "So quickly send Man Chong."

"Here!" Ren Hongchang bowed to Ye Zhao and turned around and left.

"Don't worry, if it is a prejudicial act of Man Chong, and if he is talented and does not hire him, I will definitely punish him seriously!" Ye Zhao said to Empress Dowager He, but he shook his head in his heart. Man Chong is famous for being selfless. It is precisely because of this that Ye Zhao handed over such important tasks to Man Chong. If the He clan members of Empress He are really capable, Ye Zhao will naturally welcome him. Now Hanzhong does need a large number of talents, but if he just wants to make a living and take up a seat, even if he does not have Man Chong, Ye Zhao will not use these people.

When he put Man Chong in this position, he was worried about what happened today. Ye Zhao was really not good at sacrificing some people, so he could only use Man Chong to refuse. Unexpectedly, he would make trouble for him so soon, and let the Queen He, who had always looked down on him, come forward to talk to him personally.

"Hope is as Ye Qing said." Empress He sat back on the court. Although Hu Sousu has gradually been accepted by the world, as the empress dowager, she still feels that she should follow etiquette and law, especially in front of ministers like Ye Zhao, she must not lose her dignity.

Ye Zhao just smiled and said nothing more. Man Chong quickly came in with some files led by Ren Hongchang.

"The Empress Dowager, lord, and Hanzhong Prefect Man Chong brought him there." Ren Hongchang bowed to the two of them.

"Of course outside the palace!" Ye Zhao nodded and said.

"Here!" Ren Hongchang bowed and slowly withdrew.

"Man Chong, the Empress Dowager said that you refused to hire the Empress Dowager's tribe and put the talents out of the door. Is this a matter?" Ye Zhao stood beside He Hou and looked at Man Chong.

"I don't want to do it, but I can't do it!" Man Chong bowed and said.

"Oh?" Ye Zhao asked with a smile: "Why can't it?"

"I asked the Empress Dowager and his relatives three questions, one question asked about political strategy, how to govern a county, one question asked about water conservancy, and how to divert rivers. Another question was to choose three cases in the Liang Kingdom's past to answer them, but if one question could be answered correctly, I would hire them. However... the answers of several He clan members are here, please ask the Empress Dowager and the lord to take a look." Man Chong bowed and said.

"Oh~" Ye Zhao took a random scroll and opened it. Looking at the words that seemed to be dancing. Even if he didn't read the content, it would be difficult to make people feel good with the words. After looking at He Hou, who looked ugly, Ye Zhao smiled and handed the file to He Hou and said, "This word... is not concise... As for the content, it is considered a unique insight. However, now Hanzhong is in a mess and needs to be strengthened. I think it is better to choose some people who are just right."

Queen He didn't read the file, and her family knew her family's affairs. Her brothers in her clan naturally knew what kind of virtues were. However, when she saw Ye Zhao exposing her mercilessly, her face suddenly became a little uneasy. Eye brows frowned and said, "Ye Qing, if you don't do this article well, you may not be talentless. These family members of this palace must have a background when they come to invest thousands of miles away."

"Hanzhong is now in ruins. The city needs to be built and the checkpoints need to be reinforced. Money and grain are needed everywhere. There is really no extra money and grain to raise mediocre talents." Ye Zhao said to He Hou: "Empress Dowager, forgive me for being rude. If the Empress Dowager tribe really wants to become an official, I only need some ability. Even if it is a little worse, I will also open my eyes. But the talents of these few people... I really can't describe it. Hanzhong is not Luoyang, and there are not many vacancies. If these talented people are allowed to live in a high position, how will the Empress Dowager let the millions of people in Hanzhong look at His Highness? Also, how do those talented people view Hanzhong? In the long run, who will come and join us?"

"But the people of our tribesmen come to vote. How can they calculate? They are also relatives of the royal family, so they are kept out like this..." Empress He looked at Ye Zhao with anger.

"The Empress Dowager, there are still some eunuchs in the royal palace. If the Empress Dowager is willing, I can purify her immediately." Man Chong said in a deep voice.

"You are arrogant!" He Hou slapped the table and shouted angrily.

Arrange her family to be eunuchs, not to mention whether they want to, where will she put her face on?

"Boning, you go and handle official duties first. I will discuss with the Queen Mother here." Ye Zhao gave Man Chong an admiring look, but said seriously. Unexpectedly, this black-faced face also had such a humorous side.

"Here!" Man Chong bowed and turned around and left straight.

"Ye Qing, is this the one you hold the sword? What kind of decent attitude is that you are rude??" He Hou looked at Man Chong's back and said angrily.

"Although Boning's words have become a little more straightforward, in Hanzhong, the vast Hanzhong was governed in an orderly manner, the people were rich and the treasury was full of treasury. Your Highness has now lost the throne, and the Prince Xie is also a puppet of Dong Zhuo. If Your Highness wants to regain control of the world, Hanzhong is the foundation. What you need is not the flatterer, but the truly able to help Your Highness strengthen his own talents. I think that Boning is not only not punishable, but also rewards." Ye Zhao smiled at Queen He.

"Ye Qing is willing to help the defense and return to the Central Plains?" He Hou's eyes lit up when he heard this and said to Ye Zhao.

"This is the duty of the minister. I hope that the Empress Dowager can understand some things. This is the only way to select officials, not to look at their origins. Only in this way can the talents in the world be used by me." Ye Zhao nodded and smiled.

"I feel relieved when Ye Qing has this heart. I will not ask about the political affairs in Hanzhong. I just hope Ye Qing can remember what he said today." Queen He looked at Ye Zhao seriously and said.

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother, I will live up to the entrustedness of the Queen Mother and Your Highness." Ye Zhao said solemnly.

"It's so good that I'm a little tired, so I won't entertain Ye Qing anymore." He Hou nodded and said.
