After a major purge, Cheng/Du gradually returned to peace. After Ye Zhao informed Zhang Song and others of the plan and evidence of the crime, most officials breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, even if he is in a high position, sometimes he will use some means to follow the law to wipe the boundaries. This time, Ye Zhao suddenly raised a butcher knife without warning, which made many people unable to understand, and many people were even more in danger.

The announcement also made everyone feel relieved. It turned out that Zhang Song and others had such a plan. People who had nothing to do with this matter were naturally relieved. Those related to it were also trying their best to clear their relationship. In fact, at this time, Ye Zhao had not been looking for it and was no longer prepared to pursue it. After this incident, the officials of the Shu family were almost killed. In addition to increasing the number of official fields, the impact of the Shu family on Shu was already weak to the limit.

At the same time, after this incident, those who originally wanted to pass Liu Bian's path also gave up their thoughts. It was obvious that Liu Bian had no ability to fight Ye Zhao in this Shu, and the two sides had already had a feud, so naturally no one dared to get too close to Liu Bian anymore. Even the craftsmen who had traveled to and from the Hongnong Palace in the past have now consciously separated from their relationship with Liu Bian.

Now in Liu Bian's Hongnong Palace, the Nefan Camp has been withdrawn to become the guard of the Taiwei Mansion, while the Nefan Camp has been replaced with an army to guard the army. No one except the necessary purchasing personnel are allowed to enter the Hongnong Palace.

However, some people will be afraid of Ye Zhao's power, while others will not, such as... the one in front of them.

"How dare the concubine son treat King Hongnong like this!" Cai Yong pointed at Ye Zhao and roared: "Who are you?"

"Don't calm down, husband..." Cai Yan looked at the two of them with some concern. The two most important men in their lives were really not the result she wanted to see.

"Zhao Ji retreated!" Ye Zhao and Cai Yong spoke at the same time, looking at each other, and there was no sound at the same time.

Cai Yan sighed and took Ye Zheng and Cai Yi away. Such a scene was really not suitable for the presence of the two children.

"Does my father-in-law know why today's happening?" Seeing Cai Yan leaving with his two children, Ye Zhao looked at Cai Yong. Some things he had to make clear. Many times, his father-in-law and mentor had a good starting point, but it was too easy to be used by others. He had to face the opponent's open and secret arrows and had to be careful of his teammates pulling his legs, which made him very distressed.

"I know you are eloquent, but this time, you treat King Hongnong so harshly, so you are accusing of being disrespectful to the emperor! Cai Yong looked at Ye Zhao and said sternly.

"If it weren't for me, he would have died long ago. How could there be so many things today? I saved King Hongnong and repay the kindness of the late emperor for the help of the late emperor!" Ye Zhao looked at Cai Yong and said in a deep voice: "Besides, in the years since I entered Sichuan, have I ever had any usurpation towards King Hongnong?"

"What about this time?" Cai Yong frowned.

"Zhang Song is a cunning person, and is quite dissatisfied with many of my policies in Shu. He has always been indifferent to his heart!" Ye Zhao looked at Cai Yong and said, "Zhao didn't know why his father-in-law recommended these people to King Hongnong, but these three people secretly instigated King Hongnong to be hostile to me!"

"I have been brave enough for this Han Dynasty. I have a home for three years but cannot return. I slept in the open and fought on the battlefield. However, King Hongnong was instigated by these people and wanted to murder me!" Ye Zhao patted his chest and laughed: "I'm so heartbroken! There is today's grand occasion in Shu, which was built brick by brick. Now that Shu is stable, there is no reward, but the rabbit is dead and dog is cooked. What should my father-in-law asks me to do? In the future, I will send troops out of Sichuan and restore the Central Plains. I cannot fight while being warned, and also beware of villains stabbing in the back!"

"But your approach is a bit too much!" Cai Yong looked at Ye Zhao and his momentum became a little weaker. If he hadn't brought Zhang Song and others to see King Hongnong, there wouldn't be what happened today.

"Maybe, but I have no other way!" Ye Zhao shook his head and sighed: "If you want to be a loyal minister, you can't be too capable. That will be very tiring. Not only do you have to worry about this messy world, but you also have to be careful of the suspicion and assassination behind it. Now, the child is tired and no longer wants to be this loyal minister."

Looking at Ye Zhao with a tired face, Ye Zhao's path was what he watched as he walked to this day step by step. His father-in-law and mentor seemed to have never given any help except to teach him knowledge. Now he is even more suspicious of being dragged down, and he can't help but feel a little bit of self-blame in his heart.

He didn't know how he got out of the Taiwei Mansion, and He Man kept following him. He thought a lot along the way. When he introduced Zhang Song and others to Liu Bian, he felt that Liu Bian had already reached the top and should form his own power. But he didn't think about whether Liu Bian was as harmonious as before when he gradually grew up.

Now it seems that I am afraid that it will not be possible. Even if Liu Bian doesn't want it, those who submit to Liu Bian will think... In this way, helping Liu Bian will harm Ye Zhao, his son-in-law, and his most proud disciple. But if he doesn't help, he will be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and his lifelong belief will not allow him to do so.

Ye Zhao stood at the gate of the Taiwei Mansion and watched Cai Yong's figure disappear at the end of his sight. On this stretch of the road, Cai Yong seemed to have become ten years older.

"Husband..." Cai Yan trotted to Ye Zhao, and his hands couldn't help but hug Ye Zhao tightly.

"Don't worry, my father-in-law and I are fine." Ye Zhao sighed. His father-in-law is already 63 years old this year. It's better not to be too serious about some things: "Let my father-in-law be purified for a while, he is a little confused now."

"Um."

...

In the next two months, the central Sichuan gradually returned to peace. Cai Yong did not go to the Hongnong Palace again these days. He was afraid of facing Liu Bian's disappointed eyes. He heard what He Man said, Cai Yong has been cultivating his character recently. He occasionally went to academy to teach or teach Cai Yi carefully.

As for Ye Zheng, he is studying in the academy with his preferences, and occasionally goes to Cai Yong's mansion to find a solution. However, Ye Zheng now prefers Ye Zhao to help him solve his doubts. His father's erudition is not inferior to Cai Yong's. Moreover, Ye Zheng feels that although what his father said is not profound, he can understand it.

Ren Hongchang rarely participates in the training of Nefan Camp. Recently, the girls in Nefan Camp discovered that their master seemed to be much tenderer than before, and there was a little less anger from the past between his eyebrows, and his eyes became softer.

Although he was just a concubine, many soldiers of the Nefan Camp felt a little dissatisfied. After all, Ren Hongchang followed Ye Zhao for ten years and worked diligently, but in the end he had only a concubine, which made people feel distressed. However, now it seems that Ren Hongchang is doing well.

Recently, in addition to reading official documents every day, Ye Zhao has been with four beautiful wives and concubines most of the time, as if he wants to vent all the energy he has been holding for three years in one breath.

In early March, Guan Yu, Xu Rong and Zhao Yun led their troops to Chengdu. Ye Zhao gave the generals ten days off to reunite with their families. After Guan Yu decided to stay in Shuzhong, he reunited with his wife and later gave birth to a son named Guan Xing. He is now three years old. Zhao Yun also started a family in Shuzhong, but he has not yet left a marquis. Ye Zhao hopes that these powerful generals can pass on their excellent genes and provide more useful talents for the future.

Ye Zhao, these ten days are also the time Ye Zhao left for himself and his wife and children. If he embarked on this path, he would have more time to get together in the future. He wanted to spend more time with his family in this limited time. His two sons have obviously become more attached to him recently.

Liu Wei and the other two obviously knew that it was time to part. They were very obsessed with Ye Zhao recently, especially Ren Hongchang, who had just married recently, relied on his strong physical strength to linger with Ye Zhao until late at night before falling asleep.

Ten days passed by, and Ye Zhao pointed at Xi Zhicai with a slightly dark circle of eyes, saying, "I will tell you about the situation in the past three years of the Central Plains."

"Here!" Xi Zhicai bowed, then walked to a map of the territory of the Han Dynasty, outlined it on the map with a red pen, and said: "Now outside Shu, it is probably so differentiated."

"Since the first year of Jian'an, after the emperor left, the generals of Xiliang, the three auxiliary places, annexed each other, and Li Jue and Guo Si also gradually became rifted, because the lord gave them a book that year. Although the generals of Xiliang fought hard, there were not much loss in terms of people's livelihood. Three auxiliary places, Xiliang can be regarded as one. These two places are a bit chaotic and the population loss is serious." Xi Zhicai pointed to the three auxiliary places.

"In addition, Lu Bu and Liu Biao have regional contact with our army. Since Lu Bu entered Nanyang, he has been well managed. However, most of the population of Nanyang was moved away by his lord, and later killed by Lu Bu, resulting in a sharp decline in the population. Lu Bu now has more than 70,000 troops. Liu Biao in Jingzhou plays the land of Jingxiang, mainly in civil governance. In recent years, in addition to occasionally friction with Yuan Shu, the conflict with Lu Bu is mainly fierce!"

"In the Central Plains, Cao Cao occupied most of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Pengcheng, Langya and other places. Last year, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou for the third time. The specific news has not yet come. However, among the ministers, Xuzhou is now unable to resist Cao Cao. Although he is in a place of four battles, Cao Cao's troops have gone through battle formations. I think it is the strongest among the princes of the Central Plains!"

"In addition, Yuan Shu takes advantage of the Yuzhou part and Yangzhou. Last year, Yuan Shu took advantage of the time when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou and joined forces with the Yanzhou family to annex Yanzhou, but was defeated by Cao Cao's return army. Although his life is prominent, his military power is insufficient. He has many soldiers and few generals, but his remaining power cannot be underestimated."

"In the north, Yuan Shao has now embezzled Qingzhou and Bingzhou, and has the power to dominate the north. Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu in the Youzhou area were fighting with each other, and it was impossible to decide the lord of Youzhou. Yuan Shao also looked at him, so he saw the lord of Youzhou. In the view of Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, when Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan decided to rule the overlord of Youzhou, it was when Yuan Shao embezzled Youzhou, so the four states could be regarded as Yuan Shao's power."
