Chapter 57 The Eighth School of West Park
"It's a pity that it's only one step away!" After saying goodbye to Lu Zhi and others, Ye Zhao went straight to the mansion, told Xi Zhicai what was happening day by day, shook his head and sighed: "The emperor is afraid, otherwise if the emperor could listen to my words today, he would definitely break the current situation!"
"The emperor will naturally be afraid." Xi Zhicai shook his head and laughed: "Although the method used by the lord is a powerful medicine, the great man now is as weak as the emperor's body, and he can no longer stand the strongness of the fierce medicine. Once he follows the lord's plan, he can definitely completely break the ban of the aristocratic family, but the great Han Dynasty will probably be broken here!"
Ye Zhao nodded when he heard this. He did not think that the prefects would hand over the power obediently. More likely, the officials who took office with the famous generals of the bandits were killed. Of course, there was no solution. The court could send strong soldiers to escort them. But in that case, both sides would be defeated. Liu Hong needed the court to have enough deterrent power. What's more, it was still busy with the regaining of military power, so it was impossible to divide the troops. So the best choice at the moment was to comfort the scholars and then take back all the military power in Luoyang.
Then we pacify the states and counties and take back the power of the world into the hands of the court.
However, this kind of thing is obviously not a good family. If Liu Hong is healthy, it is okay to live a few more years until the two princes become adults. However, based on the news Ye Zhao has obtained and Ye Zhao's observation of Liu Hong over the past few days, it is not easy for Liu Hong to survive this year with Liu Hong's current physique.
"I still want to congratulate you on your lord." Xi Zhicai smiled and clasped his fists at Ye Zhao and said.
"He Xiyouzhi? Why can't I see it?" Ye Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "I only know that this time, I offended the entire scholar class. After the governor of the five prefectures and prefectures learned about this, I am afraid that he would hate me to the core."
"But those lords are hard to fight for." Xi Zhicai smiled.
"Brother Zhicai, do you know that sometimes this truth is very hurtful?" Ye Zhao smiled at Xi Zhicai.
"However, since the lord has done it, I believe he has similar ideas. Once the content of this court discussion is spread, it is not only scholars who know it. As the lord said, those who have geniuses but have a little lack of virtue, and those who have no hope of career will probably regard the lord as a wise master. Just wait for the time to come, why worry that no one can use it?"
"Luckily you are a man." Ye Zhao joked: "If you were a woman and you understood my thoughts so much, you might fall in love with you."
Xi Zhicai looked embarrassed, and Ye Zhao couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, I don't have that kind of male style, but I'm just a joke. But Brother Zhicai, you are a few years older than me, and your heart is even more inclusive. Why do you linger in the fireworks place all day long? If there is a woman in Luoyang who can catch up with Brother Zhicai's eyes, even if she robs me, I'll snatch it for you and always call you... It's a bit inappropriate to be in the romantic place after all."
"Thank you, lord, I'm just putting my body down... Don't delay people." Xi Zhicai said with a wry smile.
Ye Zhao looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "Where is the medicine I gave you?"
"Medicine?" Xi Zhicai was stunned. Then she remembered that when Ye Zhao first came to Luoyang, she summoned a doctor to make a lot of pills for him, but Xi Zhicai ignored it.
"Okay!" Ye Zhao gave Xi Zhicai a thumbs up with admiration: "Brother Zhicai really treats life and death as nothing!"
Those medicinal materials, no matter how many people are, they will be shocked if they say the effect of the medicinal materials. The cost of collecting medicinal materials alone is enough to make a wealthy family poor and cannot be asked for anything else. They are directly regarded as garbage in Xi Zhicai...
"Dian Wei!" Ye Zhao shouted directly outside the door.
"Lord, what's the matter?" Dian Wei came to Ye Zhao and asked.
"Zilong will be with me when traveling these days, and will give you an important task." Ye Zhao looked at Dian Wei and said in a stern manner.
"Master, please give me instructions." Dian Wei Surong said.
"Tell him to take medicine on time every day!" Ye Zhao pointed to Xi Zhicai and said in a deep voice.
"Uh..." Dian Wei glanced at Xi Zhicai blankly, nodded and said, "Don't worry, lord!"
"Lord, can you change Zilong?" Xi Zhicai looked at Dian Wei in embarrassment and said, "I don't have a good heart."
"Hmm?" Dian Wei looked at Xi Zhicai blankly, not understanding his meaning.
"I'm not very good either." Ye Zhao patted Xi Zhicai's shoulder, turned around and left, leaving Xi Zhicai and Dian Wei with big eyes.
...
The debate about the court gradually spread, and Ye Zhao naturally received a lot of criticism. Some people even jointly submitted a letter to the court, demanding the removal of Ye Zhao's position as the Weiwei. Such a person with no virtue was not worthy of being a high-ranking minister.
These voices naturally cannot be moved by Ye Zhao. Now Ye Zhao has been regarded as a confidant minister by Liu Hong. How could he dismiss Ye Zhao because of some gossip? However, the attention of the scholars in Luoyang was soon attracted by the new army.
After the court argued that day, less than half a month later, the bandits and bandits from all over the country who were still arrogant in July stopped in mid-August, and the court restored order. Liu Hong was also very happy and seemed to have improved a lot, so he put the matter of the new army on the agenda.
On August 16th, Liu Hong went to court again and discussed the general trend of the world with the court officials. Liu Hong suddenly sighed: "Since Zhongping years, bandits in various places have never been cut off. First, there were the rebellion in Liangzhou, and then the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou. Then, Zhangju and Changsha District Star rebelled one after another. I always feel that I am not in my heart."
"Your Majesty feels like this. It is mostly due to the empty military force in Luoyang. Now all prefectures and counties have soldiers, but the court still maintains the old military force. This shock is naturally greater than before." Zhang Rang, who was standing aside, suddenly stood up and bowed and said, "I think that if the troops in Luoyang should be increased, otherwise if a war occurs, the imperial court will send troops out. Wouldn't Luoyang be empty?"
The ministers' hearts are like mirrors. This is clearly a good word beforehand, but no one dares to say it out loud at this moment.
Liu Hong nodded and said, "What my father said is very reasonable. If it is turbulent today, it is time for our Han army to show its power to be able to be powerful. I plan to form a new army in Xiyuan, with Qian Shuo as the captain of the military school, and lead the new army. There are eight schools under it. Qian Shuo leads one school himself, and as for the other seven schools..."
Liu Hong looked at the officials and smiled and said, "I wonder who can recommend me to you, my family?"
"Your Majesty!" Ye Zhao stood up and bowed, "Feng Fang, Zhao Rong has been loyal ministers for generations, can be a lieutenant of the school!"
This is the candidate Ye Zhao had planned with Liu Hong before. Liu Hong nodded with a smile and said, "I have heard of these two people, so I used them as the commanders of the army to lead a school."
Ye Zhao retreated to the train, Lu Zhi on the side came out and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, although Gao Tanglong is a despicable family, he is quite talented and loyal to Your Majesty. I think this person can be a lieutenant of a school."
Gao Tanglong was elected by Ye Zhao and Lu Zhi and Cai Yong after discussion. He belonged to the imperial party and had some talent. Although Ye Zhao, the new army, did not intervene, he did not want the scholars to grow through this. Therefore, Gao Tanglong was elected.
After thinking for a while, Liu Hong nodded and said, "In this way, I ordered this person to be the captain of the Right Army."
In the court, Wang Yun frowned slightly when he heard this. There was no such person on the list they had received before. I wonder why?
During this period, ministers recommended the counselor Xia Mou as the Left Army Captain. Xia Mou was also an imperial party. In just a moment, four of the seven schools were obtained by the imperial party. In addition to Qianman's school, only three schools could fight for.
Wang Yun winked at one person, and the man hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, had previously quelled the war in Jizhou and had both civil and military skills. Later, due to Wang Fen's involvement, he was removed from his official position for no reason. I think Yuan Shao can lead a school!"
Liu Hong nodded. This was a compromise made by both sides before, and Yuan Shao’s status among the eight schools could not be low. He was named the Central Army Captain, and his position was only under Qian Shuo.
There are two schools left, but because Gao Tanglong was pushed out by Ye Zhao, Lu Zhi and others, the originally planned seat was not enough. He Jin frowned and walked forward first: "Your Majesty, the captain of the Tun Cavalry has been guarding Luoyang for many years and is also loyal to Your Majesty. Now the Tun Cavalry School has been taken over. I think Bao Hong can enter the eight schools."
Even if Liu Hong wants to deal with He Jin, he will not be able to directly eliminate He Jin's military power in Luoyang. That is forcing He Jin to rebel. Therefore, among these eight schools, the General's Mansion must have a school, and Bao Hong is the one introduced by He Jin.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Hong nodded and said, "Bao Hong Zhongyong, since I knew it, I have appointed him as the captain of the lower army."
The three upper, middle and lower schools have the largest share among the eight schools. Now that Bao Hong has obtained the position of military lieutenant, it can be considered as a way out for He Jin, so that he will not let him jump over the wall in a hurry.
Wang Yun's expression changed. As a result, the last school became very critical. He immediately stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Chunyu Qiong is a famous general. He is also brave and loyal and brave. I think this person can hold the position of a school."
"Chunyu Qiong?" Liu Hong raised his eyebrows. The last school of these eight schools was planned to be given to Cao Cao.
Ye Zhao stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have had an interaction with Chunyu Qiong. This man has no ambition and average ability. He is only known as a famous general, but he is hidden by his ancestors. He is actually exaggerated. I think this man is not enough to take on the great responsibility!"
"Wei Wei's words are biased. Chunyu Qiong offended us at the banquet. We're so narrow-minded. Wang Yun looked at Ye Zhao with a bad expression and said in a deep voice.
"I will not bring personal grudges to the court for discussion." Ye Zhao glanced at Wang Yun lightly and said, "I am sorry that I am ignorant and do not know what kind of achievements Chunyu Qiong has, so I can take on this important task."
Apart from the title of famous generals, Chunyu Qiong really has no outstanding record, and Wang Yun couldn't speak for a while.
"Your Majesty, Cao Cao, the general of the Diannong Central Army, has made great contributions since the Yellow Turban Rebellion and has served as the Prime Minister of Jinan. I think this person is more suitable for joining the new army." Ye Zhao bowed to Liu Xie.
