The day of the throne ceremony was set on the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, and there were still two months left before now. There was enough time for the princes to send envoys, so that Ye Zhao could make enough preparations.

After some busy schedule, Ye Zhao became idle.

Not only him, but also Xi Zhicai, Li Ru, Fa Zheng and Guo Jia have also stopped busy, which is also the characteristic of the Chang'an official system today.

Ye Zhao and the most core people will formulate strategies and directions, then dispatch tasks, and then refine them by each department at a time. This process will not exceed three days at most, and then be executed.

The altar used for the throne ceremony outside the city has begun to have a rough outline. In order to ensure that it can be completed within two months, Ye Zhao specially transferred 10,000 slaves from Zhangye to speed up the completion.

"Young Master." Uncle Liang's hunched body tried hard to come in from outside with the biggest steps.

"Uncle Liang, calm down, I am almost seventy years old. What if something goes wrong? Just let the servant do something." Ye Zhao stood up helplessly, picked up a bowl of water from the table and handed it to Uncle Liang and smiled: "What's so urgent?"

"I have been running all my life and I'm used to it." Uncle Liang smiled and said, "Young Master Zheng is back!"

Although Ye Zhao is now an extremely powerful minister and has a great power in the world, in the Ye family, Ye Zhao has always been a young master for Uncle Liang and has not changed this title in recent years. Until now, Uncle Liang is over 70 years old, and Ye Zhao has just left him.

When Ye Zhao heard Ye Zheng come back, he said angrily: "You are neither big nor young, you can't come in? Why are you tired of running around in Uncle Liang?"

He was nothing, but Liu Wei, who was beside him, stood up excitedly and said, "Uncle Liang, where is Zheng'er?"

It’s not that Liu Wei is excited. Ye Zheng came back with Ye Zhao and was sent to the military camp to train. Until now, it has been two years since Liu Wei has never seen her son. Although she has a second son now, her love for Ye Zheng has not changed at all, so she has complained a lot about Ye Zhao.

"Just outside the door, the young master has not summoned him and dared not surpass the courtesy." Uncle Liang said with a smile.

"That's right. Since I have gone to the army, soldiers should look like soldiers." Ye Zhao smiled in front of Liu Wei's resentful gaze and said, "Let him come in."

"Okay!" Uncle Liang nodded and was about to run out, but was pulled by Ye Zhao.

"Uncle Liang is sitting here. Just let the people do this kind of thing." Ye Zhao turned his head and said to a maid, "Go and call Zheng'er."

"Here!" the maid agreed and trotted out.

"Madam, I heard that Zheng'er has done a good job in the army in the past two years. Although there has been no major war, he has performed excellently in several military exercises and has led troops to suppress bandits." Ren Hongchang held Liu Wei's hand and smiled.

Although he has rarely been inquired about military affairs since he married Ye Zhao as his concubine, Ma Nanxiang would tell her some information from time to time. As Ye Zhao's eldest son, although Ye Zhao said nothing about it, in fact, Ye Zheng's every move in the army was under Ye Zhao's control.

"You said that a good scholar should go to the army, why should you start with a small soldier?" Liu Wei looked at Ren Hongchang complainingly. Although she was telling Ren Hongchang, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was for Ye Zhao to hear.

"I want him to go to the army to hone his will. Who doesn't know that Ye Zheng is my eldest son? Don't say too much, just let him be a general. After being found out by the generals, how can he still hone his skills?" Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "Has Madam ever heard that a loving mother defeated her son?"

"But..." Liu Wei wanted to say something else, but saw a young man coming in from outside the door.

Seeing the group, a hint of joy appeared on his face: "Father, mother, second mother, third aunt, fourth aunt, and child are back!"

The person who came was naturally Ye Zheng. After two years of military career, his face was a little tender and elegant, more firm, and his skin became dark. His eyes were like a sharp sword, with a bit of majesticity.

"Young Master, have you noticed that Master Zheng is almost exactly the same as you were at this age!" Uncle Liang looked at Ye Zheng and smiled.

"Uncle Liang, Zheng'er is my son, of course she looks like me." Ye Zhao stood up, walked to Ye Zheng, reached out to punch Ye Zheng, and smiled and said, "But it's not all like me. When I was fifteen years old, I was not as strong as that."

Uncle Liang nodded when he heard this. Indeed, when Ye Zhao became an official at the age of 16, he looked like a weak scholar. Now Ye Zheng is less elegant than Ye Zhao at that time, and has a sense of perseverance and coldness that is unique to soldiers.

"Zheng'er, come quickly!" Liu Wei quickly pulled Ye Zheng to her side, groped Ye Zheng's cheeks, and said with a distressed feeling: "My son has lost weight."

Ye Zhao said: "Where did the madam see it? I just think Zheng'er is much stronger than before."

Although Ye Zhao also taught Ye Zheng martial arts and physical fitness in the Taiwei Mansion, it was not as good as the atmosphere in the army. Moreover, Ye Zheng had to follow Ye Zhao to learn to govern politics at that time. He actually didn't have much time to exercise every day, but in the army, he spent most of his time training, especially in the recruit stage.

"Don't worry, my mother, the child is the elite soldiers guarding Chang'an. There are two eggs and one pound of beef every day, and the dough is enough, how can you lose weight?" Ye Zheng smiled and comforted.

"I said you have lost weight, but you have lost weight!" Liu Wei glared at Ye Zhao with some shame and anger, and said to Ye Zheng.

"Okay, okay!" Ye Zheng said hurriedly.

"Tell me, how do you feel when you have two years of training in the army?" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Return to my father, at the beginning... it was not very good. Every day the rooster crowed and had to get up. Those teachers would attack irregularly in the middle of the night, and they couldn't even sleep well. When they were recruits, they had a lot of training tasks every day. They didn't squeeze the last bit of strength out of their strength, and the generals in the army didn't allow them to rest. The child almost became a deserter at that time." Ye Zheng said with lingering fear when he thought of the career of recruits that he couldn't look back on.

"Of course, there is a place to select prides." Ye Zhao nodded. The new recruits guarding Chang'an is not like the troops in other places. They practice every three days, but there is a lot of training time every day. He looked at Ye Zheng with a smile, and Ye Zhao asked, "Why didn't he escape?"

"The army is under strict supervision. Although it will not kill people, once the deserter is caught, he will punish the three armies. The child... cannot afford to lose this person." Ye Zheng said suddenly.

"The military training is so difficult?" Liu Wei said incredibly: "Who has decided on such a training method?"

"I." Ye Zhao glanced at Liu Wei indifferently and said, "The Nefan Camp was also trained in this way back then, even more difficult than this."

"Sister?" Liu Wei turned her head and looked at Ren Hongchang.

"That's true. The training of Nevana Camp is now weakened." Ren Hongchang nodded silently and said, "But although it's hard, in that year, that period was the best time."

"Why is this happening?" Liu Wei looked at Ren Hongchang in confusion, and then at Ye Zheng.

"Just IV Aunt said, although it is bitter, a group of brothers in the army share the joys and sorrows. That feeling cannot be felt here." Ye Zheng smiled.

"My son is the son of the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty, how can I..." Liu Wei was a little dissatisfied when she heard this. What is Ye Zheng's identity? How could he call his brothers and brothers to a group of soldiers?

"This is the friendship of soldiers." Ye Zhao glanced at Liu Wei lightly and said, "My Ye family is not from a high family. Don't lift yourself too high. If there were no grassroots soldiers who defended their country and fought bravely to fight the enemy, how could this peace in Guanzhong today?"

"I don't have this intention." Liu Wei complained a little, but when Ye Zhao looked down, he didn't dare to say anything. Ye Zhao held half of the country in recent years, monopolized the power, and won many battles. His power had already been achieved. Although it was not intentional, once Ye Zhao calmed down, his aura was beyond the reach of no one to resist.

"Don't get angry, Father." Ye Zheng said hurriedly.

"I heard that you were already elected as the Chief Commander before you returned. If it weren't for this recall, you might have been promoted to Chief Commander now." Ye Zhao's expression slowed down and he looked at Ye Zheng and said, "There is no war, it is not easy to be promoted to Chief Commander."

"When I came back to my father, there was no major war, but there was a military exercise every three months in the army. Those who performed well in the military exercises could be promoted to one level. In the past two years, there have been eight military exercises. Each time, the child can rank in the third place, first the elite soldiers, then the sergeant commander, the commander, the squad leader, the army general, and the army Sima. Then, two consecutive times, the child seized one level, and only once was the difference, he could be promoted to the commander." Ye Zheng said proudly.

It sounds very powerful, but Ye Zheng has been taught martial arts and military skills since he was a child. The starting point is higher than that of ordinary people. In the academy, he has contacted the generals of the army such as Xu Rong, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao. Ye Zhao personally gave guidance, with rich theoretical foundations, and he also participated in the Battle of Bingzhou with Ye Zhao. If the person from a new recruit to an elite soldier is looking at personal combat power, then from the sergeant commander, he will take the lead and control these abilities. Ye Zheng has a rich theoretical foundation. As long as he has a starting point and constantly explores the way to lead the army in practice, it is not surprising that he can achieve such results.

It sounds like a little unfair, but where does it come from in this world? Ye Zheng did not rely on his own identity, but instead relied on his ability to get to this position step by step. In this era, it is a bit too fair.

"After this throne ceremony, you don't have to go back." After a moment of silence, Ye Zhao said.

"Why is this?" Ye Zheng looked at Ye Zhao in confusion.

"No need." Ye Zhao looked at Ye Zheng and said calmly: "I asked you to go to the army to hone your will and experience the hardships of soldiers, but it is not to be a soldier. Your origin gives you a starting point that ordinary people cannot describe, but it also gives you a burden that ordinary people do not have. What you have to shoulder is not just these. The experience in the army has ended here. You don't have to participate in this throne ceremony. After the end, I will arrange for you to be a county magistrate as a student of the academy. In addition, you cannot take office in the name of Ye Zheng. Three years later, you will come to see me again with a prefect."

Ye Zheng was a little reluctant to leave when he heard this, but he still bowed and said, "Here!"

"I'm leaving again?" Liu Wei said reluctantly.

"I'm not joining the army this time, I can't help but go home. The county magistrates in various places have holidays every month and will have a post-replacement. As for what step they can go, it depends on your ability." Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "During his tenure as a county magistrate, he still cannot reveal his identity, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, my father, I know what to do." Ye Zheng hesitated for a moment, looked at Ye Zhao and said, "There are several capable subordinates in the army, I wonder if they can bring them together?"

"But!" Ye Zhao thought for a while and nodded.
