Chapter 3 Luoyang Celebrities

On the twelfth day of April of the second year of Zhongping, the weather in Luoyang City was very good. Ye Zhao took his beautiful concubines to travel around the mountains and rivers all the way, and he was very comfortable. He did not arrive in Luoyang until the deadline given by the court was approaching.

You can see the outline of Luoyang City from afar. As the ancient capital of the Han Dynasty, it is naturally majestic and magnificent in this era. However, in the eyes of Ye Zhao, who has seen the modern steel jungle, this imperial capital, in other words, is far less than that of the mountains and rivers, it is natural to make people feel comfortable to watch.

This was Ye Zhao's second time to come to Luoyang. Outside the Zhengchun Gate, he saw Fang Yue and a team of generals waiting outside the gate from afar. When he saw Ye Zhao's team, he hurriedly came up.

What surprised Ye Zhao was that not only Fang Yue came, but also Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and several other scholars who Ye Zhao did not know.

"Brother Benchu, Brother Mengde still has a road. It has been half a year since Nanyang left. How dare you please greet me today?" Ye Zhao turned over and got off the horse, stepped forward quickly, clasped his fists at everyone and said with a smile.

"Why do you and I need to be so polite?" Yuan Shao said furiously.

"Xu Ming served as the Luoyang Order. We have prepared a banquet in the city. Today, we not only welcome you, but also see you off." Cao Cao smiled at Ye Zhao.

"I haven't congratulated Brother Meng De for being promoted to Jinan Prime Minister." Ye Zhao smiled and said to Cao Cao: "Jinan is a wealthy place. With the ability of Brother Meng De, the day of promotion again is not far away."

"Don't say much about it here. Xiuming you are closest to this place, but it is the last one. I will be punished for three wines later!" Yuan Shao pulled Ye Zhao and said with a smile.

"Sure!" Ye Zhao asked Fang Yue to take his generals back home first, and he followed Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others all the way to the city.

Wherever he went, it was the restaurant that Ye Zhao came to Luoyang. Only then did he realize that this restaurant was actually Cao Cao's property.

"So it's Brother Meng De who is the big family!" Ye Zhao couldn't help but quip in the private room specially prepared for them in the restaurant.

"It's just that you can have a place to meet with you on weekdays, so don't make fun of me." Cao Cao waved his hand and smiled, "I haven't introduced you to Xiuming yet."

"Meng De doesn't need to introduce it, I have already met Xiuming." During the meal, he stood up and bowed to Ye Zhao and smiled, "Does Brother Xiuming still remember Xu Ziyuan's cry?"

"How dare you forget that Brother Ziyuan is a knowledgeable man, and Zhao has benefited a lot." Ye Zhao smiled and returned a bow.

"Xu Ming is too humble. You are now famous above me and you are already a dignified Luoyang Order. You are not as dependent as me and waste your time." Xu You smiled. He had a good impression of Ye Zhao, but looking at the backward boy who used to deal with him, who had to deal with him in the past, now he has achieved something that he could not reach without realizing it. There is a bit of sourness in his words.

Luoyang Order, if it were during the Taiping period, it would be a position that the governor of a state was jealous of the governor of a state. Even now, in Luoyang, it is also a place where countless people compete for power.

Although he regarded himself as a famous scholar and believed that he was indifferent to fame and fortune, if he really put the position of Luoyang Order in front of him, he would probably not be calm.

"Why should Brother Ziyuan belittle himself? Zhao's position is mostly luck, just luck." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"It would be better to have self-knowledge in Xiuming." A middle-aged scholar sitting at Yuan Shu's attack opposite Ye Zhao suddenly interrupted when he heard this.

"This one is..." Ye Zhao was not dissatisfied, but was a little surprised. He had seen not many famous scholars, but not many people were so easy to get hatred for him. After all, since he could become a famous scholar, his emotional intelligence was generally passed. As soon as he got up, he would act like a senior and really think that he was taught by his senior. There were really not many.

"Xiu Ming doesn't know? This is a famous scholar in Nanyang, He Yong and He Boqiu." Xu You smiled and introduced: "Bo Qiu, although Xiu Ming is young, he is not a proud person who relies on his merits."

"This is the best. You are a good son. You are fortunate to be an official in Luoyang. You have already shined your family. In this Luoyang city, the land of Gaoshi, everyone here is above you. I heard that you were disrespectful to Yizhen when you were in Yingchuan. I said this, and I hope that Xiuming can see himself clearly and not do such a presumptuous thing." He Yong said calmly.

Now even Xu You, who wanted to help Ye Zhao save the siege, couldn't answer the conversation.

Ye Zhao suddenly smiled and looked at He Yong and said, "I dare to ask Mr. Bo Qiu in this life, besides his background that we cannot decide, what else can he make in the court and the world?"

Looking at He Yong, Ye Zhao said without waiting for him to speak, "Sir, Zhao has heard of his name, but Zhao is very curious. Mr. Bo Qiu has the name of today. He will not all rely on his family background, right?"

"I'm rude!" He Yong's face turned cold and he shouted angrily at Ye Zhao.

"Mr. I am just curious. I am just curious. People who are like the country and have no size to the people have a high position with the mercy of their ancestors. They are only good at reincarnation. Even if they have no size to make a big deal, they dare to speak out without shame. They have never seen Mr. Zhao personally, but Mr. Zhao's ability is amazing!" Ye Zhao straightened his body and looked at He Yong with a smile: "What Zhao wanted to do most since his lifetime was to be as incompetent as Mr. Zhao, but he could shamelessly evaluate the meritorious ministers in the world. In the future, he would not be able to ask Mr. for advice. I hope that Mr. will be able to give advice at that time!"

"Ye Zhao, be arrogant!" Seeing that He Yong's chest was so angry that it was fluttering violently, and his face turned red, Yuan Shu slapped the table and said sternly: "Mr. Bo Qiu is a noble man. Who are you? How dare you insult me?"

"I am sorry that I can't tell you what a noble man is." Ye Zhao said calmly: "If we only judge the level of origin, why should we fight on the battlefield? We sacrificed our lives and were just to be randomly evaluated by this "high man"?"

Xu You looked at Ye Zhao in amazement. Why did he explode at all when he was a person who was obviously easy to get along with? Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who were standing beside him, sighed. He had known that Ye Zhao was not a worry-free person, but he didn't expect that he would offend He Yong as soon as he came to Luoyang. However, it was not surprising that Ye Zhao dared to use crossbow arrows to Huangfu Song's head and draw his sword with Zhu Jun. Although it was harmless on weekdays, he was never ruthless when he killed people, and he was not willing to suffer losses.

He Yong took a high attitude as soon as he came up, and even said something directly. With Ye Zhao's temperament, it would be right to make him live a better life.

Cao Cao secretly gave Ye Zhao a thumbs up, but Yuan Shao had a headache. He and He Yong were friends, so naturally they could not watch He Yong being scolded by Ye Zhao, but they had a good relationship with Ye Zhao, and it was really a dilemma to be stuck in the middle.

"Xiangming, today is to welcome you and see Meng De off. Don't do this." Yuan Shao looked at Ye Zhao with a wry smile and said, "If I had known this, I would not have invited He Yong. He Yong was not really useless as Ye Zhao said, and he was also heroic. It's just that he attaches too much importance to family background, and even Cai Yong would not be able to like him, let alone Ye Zhao.

"I have a low background, and my knowledge is not as good as Mr. Boqiu. I am also a warrior. I speak out loud and tell the truth if I accidentally say it. I hope Mr. Boqiu should not be as good as me." Ye Zhao bowed and smiled at He Yong.

Yuan Shao felt a headache, so it would be better not to say this.

He Yong's face became even more purple, and he suddenly stood up and sneered: "It's the first time that Yong has traveled around the world that he has seen such a brilliant person. It seems that Yong is a bit redundant here."

After saying that, he ignored the retention of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others and left.

"Xu Ming, Bo Qiu is a famous scholar after all, you have passed a little." Yuan Shao sent He Yong away, and when he came back, he looked at Ye Zhao helplessly.

"My teacher often says that I am too stubborn and not suitable for the career path. Now it seems that there is some truth." Ye Zhao smiled. He didn't care about He Yong's affairs. Dogs that bit people do not bark. On the contrary, people who are like those who are self-reliant in their daily lives are not to worry.

"You always refuse to suffer any loss." Yuan Shao had no choice but to sit down again.

Although He Yong was a little unhappy about the matter, most of the Yuan disciples were present. Seeing that Ye Zhao was not easy to provoke, Yuan Shao seemed to attach great importance to Ye Zhao, and no one jumped out to pick on it anymore. After a banquet, the conversation was very pleasant, and even Ye Zhao was a little drunk in the end.

A banquet did not last until evening. Yuan Shao and others returned to their homes under the escort of the family generals. When Ye Zhao came, he did not bring anyone, so Cao Cao sent Ye Zhao out of the home.

"Xu Ming, Luoyang is different from Liang State, and it is not a military force. It is not a legitimate reason to just show off your strength today. Although it is nothing you can do, He Yong will eventually have a great reputation. After today, your reputation in Luoyang will not sound very nice." Cao Cao and Ye Zhao walked casually on the street. Looking at Ye Zhao's energetic look, he was not drunk at all, and couldn't help but smile.

"In this officialdom, who is an enemy? It's clear." Ye Zhao walked quietly and looked at Cao Cao and said, "I don't have any intersection with He Yong. I showed bad luck when I first met today. Even if I lowered my posture, I would only be regarded as a good bully by him. Since that's the case, why bother myself?"

"You can see clearly." Cao Cao suddenly realized when he heard this. He also felt that He Yong was a little abnormal today. Even if he had a vision on weekdays, he would not be so obvious. He frowned slightly: "It seems that He Boqiu is probably intentionally trying to make you attack and then ruin your reputation. Your Luoyang Order has not yet officially taken office, and has already provoked many people."

He is similar to Ye Zhao, he is better, but in the eyes of many people, the Cao family is just a nouveau riche, and he knows the dirt of Luoyang officialdom.

"Okay, let me see what is unique about this famous Luoyang scholar!" Ye Zhao smiled indifferently. He could not give up the position of Luoyang Order for the sake of these people's words. This is a good place to achieve political achievements.

"Then you have to be careful. He Yong has many friends in Luoyang. If these people come to cause trouble for you, the next life will be difficult." Cao Cao smiled.

"I really envy you. I don't have to be in this place where right and wrong in Luoyang." Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao, and he was really envious.

Fang Yue came from a distance with several guards. Seeing this, Cao Cao bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "I will set off tomorrow, so I will say goodbye first."

"I hope I will have a chance to see you again in the future." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
