Chapter 5 Reckless

"What's wrong?" Ren Hongchang, who had been led by Ye Zhao, hurriedly broke away from Ye Zhao. Ye Zhao turned his head and looked at Ren Hongchang in surprise.

"Mo...Mo general is humble and dare not rush to the top. Thank you for your lord, the lord, the generals of the lord, for rejecting the empress dowager." Ren Hongchang bowed and said, after excitement, calmness followed.

Ye Zhao had three women. In this era, as a prince who held real power, Ye Zhao's number of women was almost pitiful. Not to mention those high-ranking officials who also held heavy power, even many county magistrate-level officials, the wives and concubines in their families were combined in double digits.

This is also related to the environment of the times. From the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present, wars have never stopped. A large number of men died in battle, and the status of women will naturally begin to decline.

Ye Zhao's three women, one is the maid who served him since childhood, one is a princess, and the other is a junior sister. Each of them has a deep emotional foundation with Ye Zhao. Compared with her background, she is not as good as Liu Wei and Cai Yan, and she seems to be unable to compare with Xin'er. Ye Zhao is obviously a person who attaches great importance to feelings. After waking up, Ren Hongchang dared not expect too much.

Sometimes, once a woman is moved by a man, she will belittle herself to the dust, not to mention that Ren Hongchang is now an old girl.

"Then... do you want me to break my promise?" Ye Zhao looked at Ren Hongchang and smiled.

"I dare not!"

"The empress dowager has witnessed this matter. Since this marquis has spoken, then you, Ren Hongchang, will be the woman of the Ye family in this life. Let's go, don't think too much, and have met the two ladies." After Ye Zhao said that, he turned around and walked towards the mansion.

Taking a concubine is different from marrying a wife. As long as the wife nods, there is no need for a ceremony. However, as a general who has followed Ye Zhao for more than ten years, Ren Hongchang has also made meritorious contributions and is also the leader of the Niefan camp, so it is naturally impossible for him to have no ceremony.

Liu Wei and Cai Yan were sure that Ye Zhao would feel uncomfortable when he wanted to take a concubine, but they did not stop him. Both Ren Hongchang recognized him. Even for Liu Wei, Ren Hongchang was a man who tried his best to protect Liu Hong, and he followed Ye Zhao for more than ten years. Now that he was going to be accepted by Ye Zhao, she still couldn't object.

The matter of taking concubines began to spread in the officialdom of Sichuan. After all, for the ministers, even Ye Zhao took concubines, it was a happy event, and they each gave congratulations.

At the same time, under the leadership of Ma Nanxiang, Nefan Camp happily helped Ren Hongchang hold the wedding. On the day Ye Zhao took his concubine, he let go of his courage to make things difficult for Ye Zhao.

...

Bang ~

The joy from the palace and the courtyard next door had changed its taste in Liu Bian's ears, and it seemed to be a mockery of him.

Originally, he was unwilling to marry Ren Hongchang, but this woman was nearly ten years older than him, so she was Ye Zhao's confidant.

But he didn't want to be the same thing. Ye Zhao openly refuted He Hou's face and directly turned the woman who was originally his concubine into his own woman. Even if the matter was not settled, Liu Bian felt his head turned a little green, so he broke his favorite porcelain pot in anger.

"Ye Zhao, it's too much to deceive others!" Liu Bian roared gritting his teeth. Today, the Nefan Camp collectively passed the Taiwei Mansion, which also made the royal mansion's defense much empty.

"Why should my son be angry?" Empress Dowager He sighed quietly: "It was because of my mistake. Ren Hongchang followed Ye Zhao for ten years and had the opportunity to get married, even becoming a wife, but he refused..."

"So what?" Liu Bian gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, Ye Zhao shouldn't bully me like this!"

"Defend!" He Hou frowned slightly and looked at Liu Bian and said, "When did you become so violent?"

Queen He suddenly realized that her son was almost exactly the same as Liu Hong when she was young, especially her expression when she was angry!

"Mother! My son is unwilling to give up!" Liu Bian looked at Empress He and said hoarsely.

Empress He shook her head, what if she was unwilling to give up? This time, in addition to having feelings for Ren Hongchang, Ye Zhao had to knock on Liu Bian. When did this originally harmonious relationship between the monarch and the ministers become so bad?

"Your Highness!" An old man hurried in outside the door and said happily: "Your Highness, great things have been accomplished!"

"Ren An?" Seeing this person, He Hou looked displeased: "What are you doing here?"

If these people hadn't secretly provoked, how could the relationship between Ye Zhao and Liu Bian have reached this point?

"Return to the Queen Mother, Ye Zhao's final date is today! Old Furter is here to report the good news!"

"Oh?" Seeing the old man, Liu Bian frowned and said, "Why did Gong An say this?"

"I want to know too!" A cold voice sounded, but a guard suddenly rushed into the palace and surrounded Ren Antuan.

"Man Boning, why are you here?" Seeing the visitor, Ren An trembled and scolded sternly: "Telemen privately into the royal palace, do you want to assassinate Your Majesty!?"

"Random!" Before Man Chong could speak, He Hou was already shouting angrily: "Ren An, General Man is clearly here to capture you, what does it have to do with my son?"

"Too...the Queen Mother!" Ren An turned around and looked at the Queen Mother incredibly.

"I am going to see Your Highness and Empress Dowager!" Man Chong said lightly to Liu Bian and He Hou: "I am ordered to capture the traitor. I hope King Hongnong will forgive me if I am disturbed."

"An Gong is a famous scholar in Shu and a minister of the humerus. When did he become a traitor?" Liu Bian looked at Man Chong and said sternly.

"I'm going to ask them now!" Man Chong clapped his hands, and several guards came to Man Chong with blood stains.

"Someone actually wanted to use the day when the Grand Marshal took a concubine to plot against the intent of assassination. Your Highness thinks, can he bear the crime of treason?" Man Chong bowed to Liu Bian and said.

Time passed three hours ago, and it was the auspicious time when Ye Zhaona married Ren Hongchang. Someone secretly mingled into the Taiwei Mansion with the servants led by officials from all walks of life.

On a happy day, if it is an ordinary official, it will definitely be the place to prevent the most relaxed. In the eyes of those who are interested, Ye Zhao's concubine is so generous, and it is the best time to assassinate Ye Zhao.

But these assassins who easily crept in from the main gate and held sharp blades were easily taken down by the guards of the Taiwei Mansion when they tried to enter the inner courtyard.

The guards of the Taiwei Mansion have always been loose on the outside and tight on the inside, not to mention that there are a large number of soldiers from the Nevant Battalion here today. These girls have had anti-reconnaissance and reverse infiltration training. These temporary assassin teams were all Luo Wang before they even saw Ye Zhao. Under Man Chong's torture, they obtained enough intelligence and evidence, and there was also the incident of Man Chong leading his troops into the royal palace.

Ren An saw the assassins who were beaten and no longer human-shaped. His heart trembled, but he did not reveal it. He just said angrily: "What is this?"

"The confessions of these people are all ordered by you to assassinate the Grand Marshal!" Man Chong looked at Ren An and said, "Please follow me and wait for a walk."

"Man Chong, you are like this, you may be arguing of a slander." Liu Bian frowned and looked at the unhealthy assassins and said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness is such a bad word!" Man Chong shook his head: "I heard that Your Highness had learned to judge cases with the Grand Marshal. You should know that these people were interrogated separately. With the most severe punishment, sixteen people could not hold on and died. Three of them were already crazy. The only few remaining people reported the name of Ren An in extreme pain. In order to determine whether it was true or not, we asked this method three times before we could confirm that these people had a bad intention and were not considered a retaliation."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Liu Bian said angrily.

"I dare not, I am just explaining the facts. Please do not interfere with my official duties!" Man Chong said to Liu Bian with a polite manner.

"Absurd..." Liu Bian wanted to say something else, but was pulled by He Hou.

"I don't know about this matter. Wang'er just couldn't bear to see the famous scholars ending like this, so he made a statement and made a mistake." Queen He looked at Man Chong and said with a smile: "The general is to enforce the law, don't care about me and Wang'er."

"Xiang Empress Dowager Xie understands." Man Chong waved his hand, and a soldier took Ren An away with a depressed look. Then Man Chong bowed to the two of them, "I want to interrogate the prisoner, so I will say goodbye."

"General, go slowly!" He Hou nodded with a smile.

"Bastard, too much!" Looking at the empty palace in a blink of an eye, Liu Bian realized that no one was guarding the palace today, which made the man Chong go straight to the palace and catch people so unimpededly. It was clearly intentional.

"My son doesn't have to be angry. Ren An Wumou wants to assassinate Ye Zhao. Such Wu people don't need to be heartbroken for him!" He Hou shook his head, and was speechless about Ren An's actions. Not to mention that the fierce generals around Ye Zhao were just a Nirvana camp. It is impossible for these groups to sneak in and assassinate Ye Zhao at this moment, let alone Ye Zhao's own guards.

"Mother, is this saying that Ye Zhao has already started to attack Ren An and the others?" Liu Bian looked at He Hou and said, "Today is Ren An, tomorrow is Zhang Song, and then is he lonely!"

"No!" He Hou shook his head. If it weren't for these things, Ye Zhao wouldn't even be able to turn against Liu Bian. It can only be said that Liu Bian stretched his hand to a place where he shouldn't have applied, which would have caused Ye Zhao to such a fierce reaction. If Liu Bian had always been interested in crafts, the situation today would not have happened.

Seeing that Liu Bian didn't believe it, He Hou smiled bitterly and said, "Now it seems that my son is of great use to Ye Zhao, otherwise he wouldn't just knock on the mountain and shock the tiger like this. Ren An might have been deliberately put in."

"My mother said..." Liu Bian's heart moved and looked at Empress He.

"I didn't say anything. What my son wants to do now is not how to fight for power, but to keep a low profile and wait for the times to change!" He Hou shook his head and said, "The scholars in Shu have been defeated by Ye Zhao and are unable to fight against Ye Zhao at all. My son must not be with him, but have been plotted against by these people!"
