Chapter 44 Wretchedness

This empress dowager is really...

Ye Zhao came out of He Hou Hall and called Ren Hongchang to his side, saying, "How many people from the He family have come here recently?"

"I heard that there were three or five hundred people, but they did not come with the army, but came to flee by themselves." Ren Hongchang bowed and said.

No wonder!

When Ye Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile. The He family's roots are in Wancheng. Ye Zhao first migrated to the people of Nanyang, not including Wancheng. After all, Wancheng is the foundation of Yuan Shu in Nanyang, with heavy troops to defend, and Ye Zhao has no time to specifically attack Wancheng. Even if there are those who fall outside occasionally, so many shouldn't follow them and he doesn't know.

With the character of He family, how could he not be ostentatious?

Now it seems that they were not brought by themselves, but they came to join them.

Thinking about it, it is not difficult to understand that when He Jin was alive, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had made a living under He Jin's general's mansion due to political needs. But in his heart, neither Yuan Shao nor Yuan Shu could look down on this butcher. He Jin was alive, because the scholars wanted to use his power, so they were also courteous to He Jin's family in their hometown.

But now that He Jin is dead, Yuan Shu takes control of Nanyang, how could he regard the He family as a reciprocal status as before? It is possible that even a secret persecution and run. The He family's life will naturally be better than before. Even some of the debts owed before will be recalculated as He Jin dies. Without He Jin's blessing, the Yuan family's life in Nanyang may not be very easy, otherwise there would be no reason to come to Hanzhong to join.

It’s just that the He family is easy to deal with. After all, the power in Hanzhong is now in his own hands. To put it bluntly, although he is respectful to Liu Bian and Empress He, he is just etiquette and blocking everyone’s words. In fact, Liu Bian and Liu Xie are actually no different. They are both puppets. Even if Empress He is angry, he cannot do anything to him Ye Zhao.

But this kind of thing will definitely happen in the future. The soldiers under Ye Zhao's command were all old subordinates who had followed Ye Zhao for many years. There was no problem with loyalty. If these people came to seek official positions, what would Ye Zhao do? If they could conquer Bashu, the status of the generals around Ye Zhao would rise higher after the stall was big. At that time, a large number of relatives might pop up. If these people came to seek official positions, Ye Zhao would not be able to refuse directly or speak directly with Queen He today.

This time, Queen He's summoning also sounded a wake-up call to Ye Zhao. Such things will inevitably happen in the future. We have to use the rules while the stall is not big.

Although he is a puppet, he is also the most powerful woman in the world in the world of Han. He doesn't even give her face, and to a certain extent, he can also serve as a warning to later generations.

After thinking about it, Ye Zhao decided to hand over this matter to Xi Zhicai. Although he was also the director of the academy, overall, Xi Zhicai was the relatively leisurely person under Ye Zhao. Moreover, in the Hanzhong Academy, there are mostly children of some soldiers under Ye Zhao's command. It just so happened that Ye Zhao's determination was spread through these children. It was impossible to suppress this idea in the bud and completely eradicate it, but at least it should be slowed down. The official positions under his command should be used to arrange talents. At least until there are enough talents, Ye Zhao is not going to use most of the official positions as rewards.

"The lord's concerns are not unreasonable, but this matter cannot be done too much, otherwise it will be easy for people to feel cold." Xi Zhicai heard Ye Zhao's thoughts and poured Ye Zhao a cup of tea, and said to Ye Zhao with a smile: "Lord, you should know that this person's heart is terrifying. It is really not easy for the lord to gather people's hearts now. If it disperses because of this, it will be difficult to take it back."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't find this difficult." Ye Zhao knocked his temple with his fingers, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

In this world, the most difficult thing to grasp is this kind of favor. Ye Zhao can guess who a person is through his daily expressions and words. Sometimes in a specific context, he can even guess what he thought at a certain moment, but this kind of favor is extremely difficult to grasp. Everything is treated equally and doing things in public. It seems that there is no problem, but if this is the case, why should people work for you to the death?

People should be talked about, but if they pass, they will not work, and then the loss is your own interests.

"Anyway, this matter will be left to you. I hope that Queen He's reputation can suppress everyone's mentality." Ye Zhao stood up and looked at a group of young men running around in the academy and said, "What are you teaching them?"

"Rules." Xi Zhicai stood up and came to Ye Zhao. Looking at the group of young men gathered together to play, he said leisurely: "Didn't the lord say that there is no order without rules. These children are at a fun age. Teaching them to read and read can only use the right method."

"Since this matter is left to you, I will not care about it." Ye Zhao nodded silently and said, "If you have the chance, I will invite a few famous scholars to come to teach and put you here, which is a waste."

"I really like this place, without worldly worries, and without so many intrigues." Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

"It's easy to lose fighting spirit." Ye Zhao looked at Xi Zhicai and sneered: "This is not like what the teacher can say."

"I have some insights!" Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "In fact, if the lord is willing to invite Mr. Bo Ji, Mr. Bo Ji can teach such a person, and his ability to teach others is a hundred times better than his subordinates."

"Don't belittle yourself." Ye Zhao's mouth twitched. If it weren't for his time travel, the original owner of this body would have killed himself. If he hadn't seen the teacher from his disciples, Cai Yong would have taught a talented young man to this way.

However, Xi Zhicai's words reminded Ye Zhao of something. It seemed that shortly after Dong Zhuo's death, Cai Yong was beheaded and questioned for being stubborn as Wang Yun.

When I was reading books in my previous life, I didn’t think that it was nothing to do with me, but now, he didn’t care. If Cai Yong, the old Buddha, could invite him to Hanzhong, it would be of great help to Ye Zhao. Just like Dong Zhuo forcing Cai Yong to become an official, now that he has occupied one force, Ye Zhao also thinks that Dong Zhuo’s method is good.

Moreover, because of his own relationship, Wang Yun probably had a personal grudge against Cai Yong. Once he was in power and Cai Yong insisted on staying in the court, he might not be able to tolerate Cai Yong even if he didn't cry. With Wang Yun's little mind, he would probably not be able to tolerate Cai Yong.

"I want to bring my mentor to Hanzhong, but I wonder what plan does sir have?" Ye Zhao looked at Xi Zhicai and said.

"Mr. Cai's man is upright and his lord has disliked the Han court before and has gradually destroyed him. He has already made Mr. Cai unhappy. If he wants Mr. Cai to come willingly, the lord needs to have a legitimate reason." Xi Zhicai looked at Ye Zhao and smiled.

For some reason, Ye Zhao suddenly felt that Xi Zhicai's smile was a bit obscene at this moment.

"What is the right reason?" Ye Zhao looked at Xi Zhicai and said.

"For example..." Xi Zhicai looked at Ye Zhao and said, "If the lord wants to marry Miss Zhaoji, I am afraid that even if Mr. Cai is unhappy, he will not ignore it!"

"This..." Ye Zhao was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "That's the daughter of his mentor. Can I marry him as a concubine?"

Ye Zhao is not in conflict with marrying Cai Yan. After all, a big beauty is Cai Yan's identity. Even if Ye Zhao's wife is a royal princess, Cai Yong would never allow his daughter to marry someone as a concubine.

"It's not really a marriage. The lord's purpose is to let Mr. Cai come to Hanzhong. He just needs to post to Mr. Cai under this name... What does the lord think?"

"Nonsense, as long as you have this reputation, how can your mentor think it's okay..." Ye Zhao said halfway, suddenly turned his head and looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "Are you saying... a fake drama is really done?"

"From Xi's view, if Dong Zhuo dies, as the leader of Dong Zhuo's savages, Cai Weng will definitely be troubled, and with his character, Cai will not stay in Hanzhong easily!" Xi Zhicai looked at Ye Zhao and said, "Lord, now because of his reputation as Cai Weng, there are many scholars under Dong Zhuo's savages!"

"You go and do it." Ye Zhao patted Zhicai's shoulder on the filming and said, "Zhicai, your face is a little bit worthy of a beat when you smile."

"With the lord here, my subordinates are very relieved." Xi Zhicai said with a smile.
