Two months passed quietly without realizing it. For people in Chang'an, it is no different from the past, and it can be said that life is getting better and better.

Although the world is now in conflict, there is almost no atmosphere of war in Guanzhong. Since two years ago, Ye Zhao has made every effort to develop people's livelihood, which has also made the people in Guanzhong rich and the population more prosperous. The people of Chang'an have become accustomed to the ever-changing changes in Chang'an City. Even if the altar for sacrifices to heaven outside the city rises up in two months, the people will not have many surprises.

However, for the princes who came to Chang'an to watch the ceremony, the ten-foot-high altar outside the city was still extremely shocking.

Chen Qun walked on the street with a few scholars who came with him, his eyes extremely complicated.

It is not the first time that Cao Cao's envoy came to visit Ye Zhao, but the shock brought by each time is different. If the last time he went to Chang'an, he was shocked by Ye Zhao's strength in his army and the advantages of his soldiers, then this time, not to mention the ten-foot-high altar that rose from the ground, the colorful Chang'an City in front of him brought him an inexplicable impact.

Only a few years have passed? The city that was almost turned into ruins by the Western Liang warlords such as Li Jue and Guo Si. In just a few years, the prosperity that was managed in Ye Zhao was no less than Luoyang in the past.

Why does it give people a sense of prosperity even though they are in a chaotic world?

The heaviness in Chen Qun's heart was indescribable. He represented Cao Cao. This time he came to Chang'an, naturally not to attend the ceremony, but everything in front of him suddenly made him feel an unspeakable sense of powerlessness.

Whether as Cao Cao's strategist or as the helmsman of the Yingchuan family, Chen Qun and Ye Zhao both stood opposite each other, but what they saw and heard in Guanzhong this time made Chen Qun feel like he could not see hope.

Liu Bian ascended the throne and had already settled down. Here he not only met Liu Bei's envoy, but also Sun Ce's envoy, Yuan Shu's envoy, Yuan Shao's envoy and even Lu Bu's envoy.

What everyone wants to return?

Although it may not be so, so many princes sent envoys to watch the ceremony and congratulate him, plus the edict in Ye Zhao's hand and the jade seal of the country...

Chen Qun smiled bitterly. These two things have probably been in Ye Zhao's hands for more than ten years, but Ye Zhao has never taken them out. This tolerance is really amazing.

Chen Qun thought about this issue carefully. If the imperial seal and the imperial edict were taken out earlier, what would happen? It would not be too early. Even if Ye Zhao took out Bingzhou just now, Cao Cao would definitely have a way to unite the princes of the world in the name of the emperor to attack Ye Zhao.

But today, looking at the envoys sent by these princes, I am afraid that even Liu Biao, who is a relative of the Han Dynasty, would not have the courage to be right from Ye Zhaofang at this time.

The situation in the world has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few years. This change is not just a change in the power of the princes, but also in the hearts of the people.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Chen Qun knew very well that the people's hearts now changed with the culture that had been continuously exported to Guandong a few years ago, and the words and deeds of scholars have become increasingly difficult to convince the people.

"Mr. Changwen." An aide called Chen Qun and said in confusion: "This is the way outside the city."

"It's time to leave. If you don't leave, should you stay and watch the ceremony?" Chen Qun sighed.

Several aides suddenly realized when they heard this and said nothing more. They were about to leave, but a group of people came towards them, blocking Chen Qun and his group.

"General Pang?" Seeing this person, Chen Qun's heart sank. This person was a general of the Chang'an City Guard, responsible for the patrol of Chang'an. He smiled and said with a forced smile: "I wonder why General Pang blocked the road?"

Pang De bowed and said to Chen Qun: "Mr. Changwen, lord is welcome!"

"This..." Chen Qunqiang smiled and said, "I don't know what's wrong with the Grand Marshal recruiting me?"

"I will just ask Mr. Changwen to come over. For other things, the gentleman will ask the lord for other things." Pang De pointed out: "Please!"

Looking at the city guards who were faintly surrounded, Chen Qun took a deep breath and smiled and said, "Please lead the way."

The group, under the escort of Pang De, did not go to the Taiwei Mansion, but came to the most famous Zuiyue Tower in the city.

This Zuiyue Tower is built according to the original layout of Zuiyue Tower in Luoyang, but the specifications are higher than those of Luoyang Zuiyue Tower in the past.

Chen Qun was taken to the private room on the rooftop. Here, not only can you see the inside of Zuiyue Tower, but you can also see the scenery outside the window.

Under Dian Wei's escort, Ye Zhao sat on the main seat with a big golden sword. When he saw Chen Qun come in, he reached out and laughed: "Long article is here, sit down."

Chen Qun took a deep breath, bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "I have met the Grand Marshal." After that, he stopped pushing and sat down opposite Ye Zhao openly.

"I heard that the long article is leaving?" Ye Zhao looked at Chen Qun and said.

"Since the Taiwei has made up his mind, Qun has nothing to say, but if he stays here, it is not easy for the lord to explain." Chen Qun bowed.

"It's right. After all, I have a different position from Meng De now." Ye Zhao nodded silently and said, "It's just right, I want to ask a long article to convey Meng De to me."

"Please give me advice." Chen Qun said respectfully.

"No hurry, before this, please read a good show in a long article!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Watch the show?

Chen Qun frowned and looked at Ye Zhao, but saw that Ye Zhao's eyes were already looking out the window, and a carriage was slowly sailing towards this side. Looking at the car, it was clearly the car of King Yong Liu Bian.

Suddenly, dozens of arrow clusters were shot without warning in the houses on both sides. The arrow clusters were extremely powerful and could penetrate the carriage. In an instant, the carriage was shot with holes. At the same time, dozens of people rushed out of the houses on both sides, rushed to Liu Bian's frame, and fought with the surrounding guards.

Chen Qun suddenly stood up, but was slapped back by Dian Wei on the side.

"Taiwei, King Yong..." Chen Qun looked at Ye Zhao in surprise, but saw that Ye Zhao was still calm, as if he had known that this would happen.

"Don't worry, there is no one in the car." Ye Zhao looked at Chen Qun and smiled, "Tell Meng De on my behalf that there are rules for playing chess. If he plays this game of chess with me upright, Ye will accompany him to the end, but if you use these extra-plate moves again, don't blame Ye for using similar methods."

Chen Qun looked at Ye Zhao in surprise and suddenly stood up and said, "This is impossible! This matter is definitely not done by the lord!"

"Sit down!" Dian Wei snorted coldly and pressed him to the ground again.

"Yes or no, it doesn't matter." Ye Zhao looked at the moment when he was gradually being subdued outside the window and sighed: "Now, who is the one in the world who doesn't want King Yong to ascend the throne the most? You and I know it. I don't know a long article, but it doesn't mean that I won't know. I have been with Meng De for twenty years, and you may not understand him better than me. Tell Meng De about my words. I'm afraid it will be the battlefield next time I see you! I hope we have a fair battle, rather than using such means of stealing chickens and dogs."

When Chen Qun heard this, he couldn't help but be silent. After a long time, he nodded and bowed and said, "Qun will tell the lord the words of the Grand Marshal."

"Tomorrow is the ceremony of the ascension of Your Highness. Long Wen is leaving, so I won't keep much. This time I have prepared some gifts and Long Wen will take them away together." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Thank you for your kind gift from the Grand Marshal. Qun is ashamed of his leadership." Chen Qun stood up and bowed to Ye Zhao.

"Go." Ye Zhao waved his hand and Chen Qun bowed and took a break.

"Lord, kill a group of death row prisoners, why did you make such a sound?" Dian Wei glanced at the chaotic street outside the window and looked at Ye Zhao in confusion.

"This question is quite profound, you don't have to understand these." Ye Zhao stood up with a smile, patted Dian Wei on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, tomorrow will be the throne ceremony for His Highness, and there are still many things to do today."

"Here!"

On the ninth day of the sixth month, under the leadership of Ye Zhao, Liu Bian officially held a ceremony outside Chang'an City, changing the year name to the first year of Tai'an. According to the calendar of later generations, this year was 204 AD. On the day of the throne, not only did the princes in the Central Plains except Cao Cao and Liu Biao send envoys to pay homage to congratulate, but also sent envoys from various countries in the Western Regions to pay homage.

Among them, even the great Western powers such as Wusun, Dayuan and Kangju, thousands of miles away, were the first time that the dynasty of all nations appeared in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty. It shocked the envoys of the princes and at the same time went further, strengthening Ye Zhao's reputation and the power of the Chang'an court.

After Liu Bian ascended the throne, his first decree was to restart the prime minister system and appointed Ye Zhao as prime minister, and he was above the three dukes. Although it attracted many dissatisfaction, no one dared to openly oppose Ye Zhao's current momentum.

A few days later, Chen Qun returned to Xuchang and told Cao Cao all the words of Ye Zhao.

"Did the lord really send assassin to assassinate Ye Zhao?" Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao in confusion.

"Now, Guanzhong is in a strict manner. In Chang'an City, outsiders cannot even carry weapons into the city. How can they get in?" Cao Cao shook his head: "And according to Changwen, the crossbow arrow can penetrate the frame of King Yong's car. The crossbow in our army is not as powerful as that."

"Master is saying..." Chen Qun thought about it and felt something was strange. A thought suddenly flashed in his heart and looked at Cao Cao and said, "Is this the Taiwei himself done?"

"It can not only shock King Yong, but also put this crime on our heads." Xun Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm afraid the Taiwei is now in the intention of sending troops to the Central Plains."

"How could it be placed on our heads?" Chen Qun said in confusion.

"Who else in this world has more reason to assassinate King Yong than us?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said, "But I guess he won't come out of seclusion so soon!"

If Ye Zhao's purpose was only the whole world, it would be an opportunity for Ye Zhao to leave the pass, but Cao Cao had already understood Ye Zhao's thoughts and naturally knew that this was not the time to leave the pass. This move more caused dissatisfaction among scholars with Cao Cao, thereby aggravating the conflicts within Cao Cao's power.
