Chapter 2 Luoyang Order

The trees outside the window were already a little green, and the spring was getting stronger. Ye Zhao lay lazily on the bed, holding Xin'er's warm body, and looking at the scenery outside the window.

It has been a while since he returned to Huai County. A few days ago, Cai Yong sent a private message, telling Ye Zhao that the imperial edict arrived soon and asked him to prepare for entering Luoyang.

Although he had already guessed in his heart, Ye Zhao was still feeling a little emotional when the matter was about to come. He seemed to be very destined to be the profession of the county magistrate. From the earliest Ma Chengchang to the Suiyang Order to the current Luoyang Order, he originally wanted to plan for the position of Nanyang Prefect, and even secretly dragged Yuan Shao to tell him about his love in front of He Jin.

Although Nanyang is now abolished, its foundation remains, and it will be destroyed before it is established. When one's own governance is done, the time for the world to be divided will be almost here.

Nanyang is a treasure land of Feng Shui. It is close to Luoyang in the north, Jingxiang in the south, Shu in the west, and can look at the Central Plains in the east. If you can give yourself a few years to manage it, Ye Zhao believes that Nanyang can definitely be restored to its heyday, with 100,000 troops, and watching the world.

Unfortunately, the power competition in the court finally pushed himself to the position of Luoyang Order. Although his power is not small, it is like the Tingwei. This is a good place to offend people, especially when he wants to make achievements, Ye Zhao really can't say how long he can sit in this position.

However, the benefits of pacifying the Yellow Turban are not just the Luoyang ruling. Ye Zhao's connections have been many times more abundant than before in this year. At the same time, the reputation is enough to gain a foothold in the Shilin. Just look at his return home this time, the new Hanoi prefect welcomed him personally. Those prominent families who used to regard him as their juniors also came out to welcome him. Even the prestigious families such as the Sima Family in Wen County sent their eldest son Sima Lang to visit.

In this era, reputation sometimes works better than official titles. Even if Ye Zhao has been dismissed from his official position, the Ye family is enough to be called a prominent family in the Hanoi area. In the past few days, there have been endless people coming to visit him and propose marriages. Uncle Liang's old face smiles brightly every day like a chrysanthemum.

However, Ye Zhao asked Uncle Liang to reject the marriage proposal. My concubine already had Xin'er, but this family member could not be allowed to go out casually.

"Young Master~" Xin'er looked up at Ye Zhao with some timidity. Although she had been a concubine of Ye Zhao for some time, she still couldn't let go of her when she met with each other honestly and had a blind date.

"What's wrong?" Ye Zhao lowered his head and smiled at Xin'er's pretty face.

"It's getting late, and the young master still needs morning exercises today..." Xin'er's soft voice was like a cat, which was unbearable.

"Yes." Ye Zhao looked at the sky outside the window, nodded, lifted the quilt, and let Xiner help him put on his clothes.

"You can rest for a while." Looking at Xin'er who was quickly crawling into the quilt and covering her head like an ostrich, Ye Zhao smiled and turned around and stepped out.

"Master." Shortly after leaving the house, I saw Qiu Chi waiting outside the door.

"How long have you been waiting?" Ye Zhao continued to move forward with a smile and asked casually. He was quite self-disciplined in life and had about the same time he came out every day.

"Just arrived." Qiu Chi smiled and said, "The imperial envoy has arrived in Chenggao. We will arrive in Huai County today. Will we send someone to greet you?"

"Can you know who is coming?" Ye Zhao asked with a smile.

Luoyang was unwilling to leave Huai County. Cai Yong's letter arrived yesterday, and the imperial envoys from the court would not be too long.

"Zuo Feng." Qiu Chi said with a smile. Although Ye Zhao had not entered Luoyang, Ye Zhuang had used the connections he had led to run many caravans over the years. As these caravans were spread out by Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao was still very well-versed in terms of intelligence, at least not very confidential information could be found.

"Old friend." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "There is no need to mobilize the troops. I have something real and back up the gifts for him."

He could have been without any hesitation in the past, but now he has gained reputation and has a lot of eyes staring at him. Although he did collude with eunuchs, he did not want to lose his reputation.

"It's ready." Qiu Chi said with a smile.

"In addition, is Luoyang ready?" Ye Zhao asked.

"I have purchased a house, which is near Shangximen, but it is a bit off. It is difficult to find a house with more than three entrances in Luoyang, and it is not easy to buy, and it is not enough to have money to buy it." Qiu Chi said ashamed.

"Enough." Ye Zhao did not have high requirements for where to live, but it must be spacious enough. The Luoyang Order was a senior official with a rank of 2,000 stones. He could enter the court to participate in politics. He allowed two hundred private soldiers, plus his family, servants, and maids. The house was too small to accommodate so many people.

"Ding Li stayed to visit his home and also assisted Uncle Liang to handle the housework. He ordered Fang Yue to bring a group of people to take care of him first. Don't seem too ostentatious. Today, he was ordered to go to Luoyang for about ten days, which is enough for Fang Yue to clean up the house first." Ye Zhao thought for a while.

Ding Li and Fang Yue are two generals under his command who can lead troops now. The Ye family is now in great business and still have a lot of business to take care of. It is not enough to control it by relying on Uncle Liang. As a military general trained by Ye Zhao, Ding Li has been tested for his loyalty. Ye Zhao is relieved to keep him, and he can also learn from Ding Li. Ye Zhao still attaches great importance to this military general trained by himself.

Qiu Chi went to take care of the matter, and Ye Zhao went to the martial arts venue and practiced with Dian Wei and others who were working hard. In the afternoon, Zuo Feng brought a team of guards to Yezhuang and handed the edict to Ye Zhao.

"Mr. Zuo and I haven't seen each other for a year, but Zuo Gong is more charming than the past. I haven't congratulated Zuo Gong on his success." After the business, Ye Zhao welcomed Zuo Feng into the living room, and his servants served pastries and wine. Both parties were already acquaintances and did not have so many politeness.

"But I'm doing things for Your Majesty, but this matter will still be a blessing for you." Zuo Feng waved his hand and smiled. A few years ago, he was just a small yellow sect, who was white at that time, and even though he could talk to Zhang Rang and others in the palace, to put it bluntly, it was just a dog around Zhang Rang and others that could be replaced at any time.

In recent years, as Ye Zhao's identity has increased and his reputation has become increasingly greater. Zuo Feng has gradually gained the attention of Zhang Rang and others because he was the contact person between Ye Zhao and the Ten General Assistant. Zhang Rang would invite Zuo Feng to discuss in many things. He was no longer the small yellow sect that could be replaced at any time. He also had some prestige among the eunuchs in the palace.

"Your Majesty Zuo, you're welcome." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "If it weren't for Zuo Gong's help, Zhao's career would not be so smooth."

Zuo Feng did not hesitate anymore, but looked at Ye Zhao with a smile and said, "Feng came here this time, in addition to sending the edict on behalf of His Majesty, there is another private matter."

"Oh?" Ye Zhao looked at Zuo Feng in surprise: "I don't know what's going on? If it's about Huai County, Zhao may help you."

Zuo Feng waved his hand and smiled, "It's not Feng's business, but someone is dragged by others and sending a letter to you."

"I dare to ask who it is?" Ye Zhao was even more surprised. Although he had a lot of relationships in Luoyang, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others just gave him a letter directly. Why do you need to pretend to others? As for Cai Yong, it is even more impossible to drag Zuo Feng to deliver the letter.

"You can tell at a glance!" Zuo Feng handed a bamboo tube to Ye Zhao, covered his mouth and chuckled. His feminine expression made Ye Zhao unable to help but get goose bumps.

He quickly took the bamboo tube, and Ye Zhao, who was fearless even when facing thousands of troops, had to admit that he was frightened by Zuo Feng's smile, and he was afraid that he would be unable to help drawing his sword when he looked at him for a moment.

When I opened the bamboo tube, there was a piece of brocade inside, which should be Shu brocade, the very expensive one, with a faint fragrance that seemed familiar.

Ye Zhao opened the brocade and saw a few words written on it with needle and thread: "Bad guy, don't forget what you promised me."

The handicrafts are quite bad, and from an artistic perspective, it is worthless, but when he saw the dark red dots on the snow-white brocade, Ye Zhao felt a little inexplicably, very warm.

"When I tell the princess, Zhao dare not look at it." Ye Zhao looked up and looked at Zuo Feng and smiled: "Princess please wait and see."

"I watched the princess grow up in the palace. This is the first time I have seen the princess be a female red girl. Xiuming should not let the princess down." Zuo Feng smiled teasingly.

Ye Zhao nodded ambiguously and did not respond. Although he didn't know why the princess looked at him differently, this matter was not a very good thing at the moment.

Zuo Feng didn't take it seriously. After that, Ye Zhao asked about Luoyang and sent him to rest. The next morning, he set off for Luoyang.

Ye Zhao received the edict and called all the generals, asked everyone to pack up and follow him on the way.

"This court is too stingy. The lord has made such a great contribution and will eventually become a county magistrate." When he knew that Ye Zhao was about to take office as the Luoyang ruling, Dian Wei and others expressed strong dissatisfaction.

To be honest, the Yellow Turbans in Liang State, Runan and even Nanyang were almost all judged by Ye Zhao. Even the Bocai of Yingchuan was defeated by Ye Zhao first, and then defeated by Huangfu Song. Even the Yellow Turbans in Chenliu were all given to Yuan Shao. In the end, Ye Zhao had only obtained the position of county magistrate. They didn't know what the difference between county magistrates and county magistrates, and they just felt that the court was unfair.

Huang Shao, who was standing beside him, explained with a smile: "The Luoyang ruling has a rank of two thousand stones. He is the same as the governor and governor of each state. He can join the court to participate in politics. His rank is only under the nine ministers. This official title is not low."

"Isn't that still a county magistrate?" Dian Wei said dissatisfied.

Huang Shao was speechless and didn't know how to explain the difference to these people for a while. Qian Mo, who was standing by, smiled and watched without saying a word. Since he came to Huai County with Ye Zhao, he rarely talked. He usually fished by the river and rarely asked about Yezhuang's affairs.

Ye Zhao ignored it, and they would naturally know in the future. He turned his head to look at Uncle Liang and said, "I am afraid I will not be able to come back in the short term when I go to Luoyang. I will ask Uncle Liang for the matter at home."

"Don't worry, young master." Uncle Liang looked at Ye Zhao with relief. Now the Ye family has shown signs of revival with Ye Zhao's rise. For this old man who has devoted his whole life to the Ye family, the Ye family's greatest wish is his ability to prosper.

"Remember to notify the Ye family merchants in Luoyang to prepare what I want in advance and use it when I arrive in Luoyang." Ye Zhao instructed again.

The agreement with the princess must be fulfilled no matter what it says.

"The old slave has sent someone to inform you, don't worry, young master."
