Chapter 41 Choice
Ye Zhao sat cross-legged on the bed, maintaining this posture for a long time. The sky outside the window had gradually dimmed, but the lights were not lit in the room.
People often fear the darkness, but Ye Zhao prefers such an environment. In the quiet darkness, people's thoughts will gradually settle down, and the restlessness during the day will gradually calm down, allowing their thinking and mood to remain in a calm state to think about problems.
"Young master, I'm holding the light." Xin'er came in with a candle lamp and looked at Ye Zhao worriedly. Since Ye Zhao came back in the afternoon, she has locked herself in the room alone, and her face was as serious as Xin'er had never seen before. Xin'er was very worried, but she didn't know how to help Ye Zhao.
"It's so late." Ye Zhao came to his senses and looked at the sky outside the window.
"Xin'er will take care of the young master to wash up." Xin'er asked the maid to bring a basin of water and said softly: "Young master has been busy all day, so I guess he is tired."
"Okay, let the maids do these things in the future." Ye Zhao nodded and stood up, moved his body for a while, and after sitting for so long, his waist became a little stiff.
"Xin'er is willing to be a servant to the young master for the rest of her life." Xin'er smiled gently and wiped Ye Zhao's cheeks with a wet towel.
"How about you tell me that we will go back to Huai County?" Ye Zhao asked suddenly.
"I listen to the young master." Xin'er nodded obediently, looked at Ye Zhao carefully and said, "Young Master, what big thing happened?"
Ye Zhao shook his head. The big thing has not happened yet. However, if he continues to chase Liang Fa, the fuse of this era may have been detonated in his hands. He doesn't know whether he can bear the consequences.
"It's okay, just talk." Ye Zhao took Xin'er's hand towel and wiped his face hard.
Qian Mo said it right. Although he didn't say it clearly, Ye Zhao also figured it out. No matter whether the emperor or the aristocratic family was playing with fire, at this time, when the three major forces of the imperial power, the aristocratic family and the Taiping Cult were in conflict, since he could not be a chess player, then what he could think about now was who would be a chess piece. Simply put, he would be a leader.
In terms of justice, we naturally have to stand on the side of the imperial power, because even if we stand on the side of the aristocratic family, we can’t get many benefits for ourselves, but we must never break up with the aristocratic family.
That's probably what Qian Mo wanted to express?
After thinking about this clearly, Ye Zhao suddenly felt much more relaxed, and many things that he couldn't understand suddenly became clear.
"Lord, Mr. Qiu is asking for a meeting." Outside the door, Dian Wei's muffled voice sounded.
"Let him come in." Ye Zhao handed the wet wipes back to Xin'er and nodded to him.
Xin'er hurriedly left, and soon Qiu Chi came in quickly.
"Why did you come back so late?" Ye Zhao sat on the bed and looked at Qiu Chi and said.
"Lord, Zhou Xiangyan's incident involves a lot of concern. The people in Suiyang are in a state of grievances. I hope they can handle it carefully. It is best if the lord can hand Liang Fa and a group of accomplices to the Prime Minister's House for interrogation." Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao worriedly and said.
"He wants it?" Ye Zhao sneered and nodded, "Then give it to him."
"Lord, this..." Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao in surprise. This is a great achievement. Just give up someone so easily?
"This case has already involved the Prime Minister's Office, or even the Prefecture. I, a small county magistrate, is no longer suitable to interfere in this case." Ye Zhao leaned against the bed and sneered: "We will no longer interfere in this case, but the benefits we should still be required. We cannot control how the Prime Minister's Office will handle it, but we must not lose the credit."
He is willing to take a step back, but sometimes, if you retreat too quickly, it will make people gain more and more ambitions. This degree must be grasped, otherwise it will not be beneficial to him.
"Here, I will do it now." Qiu Chi's expression turned solemn and bowed to leave.
After Qiu Chi left, Ye Zhao sat on the bed, stood up and walked to the desk after a moment of silence, and shouted to the door: "Dian Wei, send someone to call Ding Li."
"Here."
Ye Zhao spread out a roll of bamboo paper and began to write quickly. Since the drama is about to begin, it is time to use the connections he has always maintained.
Soon, Ding Li stepped in and bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "Lord, you are looking for me."
"Among the generals around me, you followed me the earliest." Ye Zhao kept writing in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "You are also the person I trust the most. Now, there is one thing that concerns my future career. I only believe in you in this matter!"
When Ding Li heard this, he felt a stream of passion coming up and said loudly: "Lord, it's okay. As long as the lord gives the order, even if it's a sea of swords and fire, Ding Li will not frown."
"There is no swords and seas of fire, there is a letter that you want to send to Luoyang!" Ye Zhao finally stopped the pen in his hand and looked at Ding Li and said in a deep voice.
"But leave it to Mr. Cai?" Ding Li looked at Ye Zhao when he heard this. He naturally knew the relationship between Ye Zhao and Cai Yong. In Luoyang, he was the only one Ding Li could think of.
"No, you must not see this letter to your mentor." Ye Zhao shook his head: "Do you still remember Zuo Feng?"
"Remember." Ding Li nodded and said, Zuo Feng passed the imperial edict twice. As Ye Zhao's first subordinate, he was naturally familiar with it, just that eunuch...
"Give him the letter and ask him to pass it on to Zhang Rang on my behalf. Remember, be kind and don't underestimate these eunuchs. Our career depends entirely on them!" Ye Zhao said in a deep voice.
"Lord, with your ability, why do you have to aggrieved your reputation and condemn the eunuch?" Ding Li was puzzled. Even though he was ignorant, he knew that following the eunuch would not have a good reputation. Even if he had fallen into this land today, it had a direct relationship with these eunuchs.
"In the future, we will be a general. Don't be so naive to think about things." Ye Zhao patted Ding Li on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "The career of officials is not as simple as you think. Do what I said."
Ordinary people think that the imperial party they are supposed to be Cai Yong and Lu Zhi, but in fact, the real imperial party is precisely these eunuchs. The emperor wants to fight with the party members, but as the emperor, he is not good at ending, so he can only use it. And these are the only people who can use it around the emperor.
However, people in the world are easily guided, and the emperor's government orders over the past two years are indeed a bit ridiculous. These eunuchs usually take the blame for the emperor, and the public opinion in the world is still in the hands of scholars. How could the reputation of eunuchs be good?
"As for the order!" Ding Li finally knew why Ye Zhao chose him, and it was really inappropriate for others.
"Tighten your mouth, don't tell others about this." Ye Zhao said in a deep voice.
