After Liu Ye and Cai Yong ate some wine, seeing Cai Yong's hesitant expression, Liu Ye took the initiative to ask,""Lord Cai is a famous great scholar of the present age. This Prince will definitely not make things difficult for Lord Cai.”
"I wonder why the Imperial Court has asked Lord Cai to come here.”
Although Liu Ye's attitude was a bit overbearing, it made Cai Yong feel extremely touched.
In the eyes of the common people, the Great Confucians were indeed highly respected, but in the court, they were not useful at all.
If it wasn't for the Yellow Turban Uprising and Liu Hong's abolition of the party ban, Cai Yong would probably still be homeless on the streets.
Cai Yong slowly took out the imperial edict and handed it over with both hands: "Reporting to your highness, this old man has been ordered by His Majesty to deliver an imperial edict to your highness.”
"Imperial edict, didn't this king obey the emperor's imperial edict and obediently stay in Yanmen? Could it be that the emperor wants to demote this king to somewhere else?”Liu Ye asked despite knowing the answer. He smiled faintly and then flipped open the imperial edict.
However, he only glanced at it lightly before his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"You want me to send troops to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion. After it's done, I'll be able to return to Luoyang and even be given a fief. Your Majesty is really a great reward.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ye directly threw the entire imperial edict into pieces and casually threw it into the trash pile at the side.
Cai Yong saw this and his expression changed. He subconsciously stood up.
He was originally a person who abided by the rules. According to the rules of the imperial court, disobeying the imperial edict was a capital crime. If he dared to destroy the imperial edict, it would be an even greater crime.
Looking at the imperial edict that had been completely destroyed by Liu Ye not far away, Cai Yong smiled bitterly and said,""Prince Zhao, why are you doing this? Although His Majesty's punishment for Prince Zhao is indeed a little too heavy, as the emperor's father, His Majesty should understand His Majesty.”
Liu Ye said with a face full of ridicule," I understand. How do you expect me to understand him? He even sent troops to attack Yanmen and wanted my life."”
"This king has already let him down by not leading the army out of Yanmen. As for the rest, it is simply wishful thinking for this king to save his life.”
"What? His Majesty sent people to attack Yanmen? This…this is impossible.”
Cai Yong's face was filled with disbelief. He absolutely couldn't believe that when Liu Hong sent him here, he also ordered Bao Xin's army to attack Yanmen.
"Nothing is impossible."
Liu Ye immediately told him about Bao Xin's attack and how he had captured Bao Xin alive.
Hearing that Liu Ye had only sent 5,000 men to wipe out Bao Xin's 10,000 strong army and capture them all, even Bao Xin himself was captured alive by Liu Ye, Cai Yong smiled bitterly, not knowing what to do.
Although Cai Yan was a girl and had some words that she couldn't say, she also felt that Liu Ye's way of doing things wasn't too problematic.
If she were in Liu Ye's shoes, she would definitely support Liu Ye's actions.
At this moment, Liu Ye. He also noticed Cai Yan.
The woman's eyes were clear and pure, like a clear spring, giving people a pleasant feeling.
It also helped Liu Ye to calm down a lot because of the imperial edict.
"Lord Cai, may I ask who this lady is?”
Seeing this, Cai Yong hurriedly introduced Liu Ye,""This is my daughter Cai Yan."
"Yan 'er, hurry up and greet His Highness the King of Zhao."”
Cai Yan stood up and bowed." I am Cai Yan, a commoner's daughter. Greetings, Your Highness."”
"You're Cai Yan, Cai Wenji?" Liu Ye was stunned when he heard this.”
Cai Yan was also stunned by the question,"Your Highness, do you know this commoner?"”
Liu Ye carefully sized up Cai Yan, then slightly nodded and said,"This king, although I have never seen you before, I do know of your existence.”
Upon hearing that Liu Ye actually knew of his existence, Cai Yan was also somewhat happy in his heart.
She was just a little girl, but she was actually known by the high and mighty King Zhao. This was really a joyous occasion.
After chatting with Cai Yong for a while, Liu Ye waved his hand and decided,"
"Lord Cai is tired from the journey. Yanmen is a thousand miles away from Luoyang. If Lord Cai were to return to Luoyang, it would be my fault if any accidents happened during the journey.”
"This Prince will make the decision privately. Please stay in Yanmen for the time being. Don't worry, Lord Cai. I will not treat you unfairly.”
Hearing this, Cai Yong was shocked again and quickly stood up to decline,""Thank you for your good intentions, Your Highness. However, this old man has been ordered by His Majesty to invite Your Highness to send out troops. If this old man stays here, how can this old man report to His Majesty?”
Liu Ye waved his hand and said in an irrefutable tone,"Lord Cai, you don't have to worry about the mission. This king will send an envoy to report to His Majesty.”
"No, Your Highness, I…"
"Men, send Lord Cai down to rest. Serve him well and don't neglect him.”
Cai Yong still wanted to say something, but Liu Ye was already a little impatient. He quickly ordered the servants to bring Cai Yong to the other courtyard of the Prince's mansion to rest.
After sending off Cai Yong and his daughter, Liu Ye quickly called Zhangsun Wuji over and told him the news that Cai Yong had brought.
"Wuji, although I do want to send out troops to kill those Yellow Turban bandits to earn reputation and even take the opportunity to strengthen myself, I am not afraid.”
"But that fellow from Luoyang is really too stingy. This Prince doesn't want to work for him for no reason. I believe Wuji already has a good idea.”
Zhangsun Wuji cupped his hands and said,"I do have some ideas. Please consider them, Your Highness."”
"Since the emperor doesn't want to give it to you, why don't you use Bao Xin's matter as an excuse to send troops to Bing Province and take the opportunity to ask the emperor for Bing Province's land?”
Bingzhou!
Liu Ye smiled faintly. This Zhangsun Wuji was thinking the same thing as him.
Although Bingzhou was mountainous, Liu Ye had to go through Bingzhou, whether he was heading south to Si Li or to Jizhou.
If he could control the entire Bing Province, he would be stuck in a dilemma and it would be easier for Liu Ye to plan.
"Ding! The host has triggered the plot of the Rebellion of the Yellow Turban. The host took advantage of the Rebellion of the Yellow Turban to seize Bingzhou as the foundation. The reward is a random talent.”
"Ding! The host has pacified the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The reward is two random talents.”
A system notification sounded in Liu Ye's mind.
"Suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion and seize Bingzhou?”
" It seems that Lord System and This King have the same opinion, which is exactly what This King wants.”
Liu Ye hurriedly wrote a letter and ordered the Heavenly Net to send it to Luoyang as soon as possible.
At the same time, he mobilized the White Robe Army, Black Armored Army, and Mo Saber Soldiers to attack Bing Province, and even the Si Li Army.
