Chapter 4 The Posthouse in Yu County

It was about to enter the cold winter, and choosing to travel at this time was not a wise decision. This era was different from later generations. He slept all the way. In addition, Ye Zhao was traveling with his family this time, so the itinerary would be slower. The cold winter was approaching, and it was really a disaster to walk. Unfortunately, the imperial court gave him the appointment deadline, but he had no time to escape the cold.

In addition to Fang Yue, Guan Hai, Gao Sheng, Ding Li, Qiu Chi, Meng Hu, Ye Zhao only brought thirty guards this time. The other guards and craftsmen who followed him back from Youzhou were not brought with him. The rest were left to train the Ye Zhuang family's guards Ding. At the same time, for the sake of the safety of the Ye family, these people were trained by Ye Zhao, and had been on the battlefield and had seen the elites with blood. If they were left in the Ye family, Ye Zhao could leave with confidence.

A war horse that was black and had only four snow-white hooves was a gift from a Xianbei tribe when Ye Zhao was in charge of the horse city. It was called Dark Clouds and Snow, and it was very majestic. Even though Ye Zhao never lacked good horses when he was in the border area, this horse was also the most respected among horses and was quite loved by Ye Zhao.

After saying goodbye to the few friends who came to see him off, more than thirty riders protected the frame on the road under the leadership of Ye Zhao.

Pass through the prefectures and counties, cross the Yellow River, and head to Suiyang.

Suiyang was the county seat of the old Liang Kingdom. Liang Kingdom was once a vassal state. After Liu Bang won the world, he had granted seven kings of different surnames. Peng Yue was the King of Liang at that time. Later, Liu Bang killed the king of different surnames, and the Liang Kingdom disappeared. Liang Kingdom was known as a fertile land in the world. Many descendants of the Liu family were named King Liang, the most famous of which was King Xiao of Liang.

Later, due to the rebellion of the kings, although there was still a tradition of being a king, the kings in various places had no real power and could only be an idle prince and enjoy the fief, but could not interfere in local governance. This time, Ye Zhao was appointed as the Suiyang Order, which seemed good, but since the Liang Kingdom had the reputation of being a fertile land, it was naturally a place where scholars gathered. Not to mention that there was a prime minister of Liang, even if there was not, he could not be arbitrary as in Macheng. Although it was considered a beautiful and poor person, it was also a place where people could easily offend people. It was not easy to make political achievements here.

No major incident happened along the way, but along the way, what Ye Zhao saw was only a very serious polarization, with refugees everywhere on the streets and unable to eat, while wealthy families in high families were drunk and dreaming. Even when he was passing through Dongjun, Ye Zhao had seen the tragedy of changing his son to eat.

Ye Zhao came from the end of the world, and he had seen even the tragedy of the world. Therefore, he was able to maintain enough calmness. Although he had compassion, he knew very well that in the face of such things, he could not do anything. He was not in the position of decision-making and could not change too many things by his own strength. Compared with Ye Zhao's calmness, everyone around him, whether Fang Yue, Qiu Chi, Guan Hai and others, as he walked along the way, became more and more silent, and a depressed emotion lingered in everyone's hearts.

"I originally thought that the Central Plains should be a place of prosperity and prosperity." On this day, everyone passed by Chenliu. Seeing Liang State looking at him, Meng Hu, who was following Ye Zhao, suddenly sneered: "Now it seems that wealth is rich, prosperity is prosperous enough, but for some reason, I feel that this place is not as prosperous as Macheng in the past. Lord, is it worth it for us to serve such an imperial court?"

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed. When they said this, they were really a bit rebellious in this era. Qiu Chi looked around and shouted in a low voice: "Guard Meng is careful."

"Be careful!" Meng Hu was originally a raider, and he was straightforward and wanted to say something that he couldn't stand. He glanced at Qiu Chi coldly and said, "I can't do anything as blind as you."

"You..." Qiu Chi's face turned red and pointed at Meng Hu and couldn't speak.

"In his position, plan his politics." Ye Zhao groped in the mane on the horse's back, looked at the desolate world in front of him, shook his head and sighed: "What is the government? I can't comment on it. All we can do is do our own things."

"Lord, I have no other intentions. I just looked at these and felt so nervous." Meng Hu said in a stern voice.

"Then don't go and see." Ye Zhaoyi said: "We have a lot of things to do. Instead of criticizing the current problems here, it is better to do something within our ability. Even if we see them, we cannot control them."

The roots of the great man have begun to rot. In the past, Ye Zhao could not understand the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so why so many people were incited. But now, he has completely understood that when a person cannot survive, even a painting cake can make countless people rush onto the fire.

"Here." Meng Hu nodded silently and continued to move forward after Ye Zhao.

Qiu Chi let out a strong breath. Ye Zhao had already spoken, and he couldn't say anything else. He looked ahead and turned to Ye Zhao and turned the topic: "Lord, the front is convenient to be in Wu County. I heard that Mr. Bo Ji has returned home now and is in Wu City."

Ye Zhao laughed and said, "I have this intention. In short, I haven't seen my mentor for three years. Ali, you go to County to send a prayer letter. It's too late today. We'll rest in the inn for a night and go to the mansion to pay our mentor tomorrow."

"Here!" Ding Li silently took the greeting letter, bowed to Ye Zhao, and rode his horse to Wu County.

Ye Zhao took his men to the inn to stay in the inn first, but when Ye Zhao arrived at the inn, he was told that the inn was full.

"Today's inn is so lively?" Ye Zhao looked at the receptionist with some surprise and asked with a smile. The inn is a place dedicated to reception of officials. In order to avoid congestion, the inns are built in various places, and usually there are few inns full.

"That's not!" the little official bowed quickly and said, "Only one household is here."

"Why is there no place for me to live? Do you, the minor official, despise me?" Guan Hai was furious when he heard this, and picked up the minor official and said angrily.

"I dare not." The clerk grabbed Guan Hai's thick arm with both hands and looked at Ye Zhao with a wry smile, "The one living inside is Fuchunling. Now Ren Man has returned home and has brought more entourages. There are nearly a hundred wives, concubines, maids, and accompanying guards and servants. A total of nearly four hundred people have already occupied the inn."

"But a mere Fuchun Order and a person who has stepped down, what qualifications are there to stay in the inn?" The other party's formation was astonished by Qiu Chi and others. Not to mention anything else, there were nearly a hundred wives, concubines and maids. Compared with Ye Zhao's formation, Ye Zhao's formation was really shabby.

"I don't know anything about this Fuchun Order..." The little official was about to explain, but was interrupted by a light cough coming from the side.
