In mid-to-late July, Cao Xiu rushed to Luoyang with the entire team.

Just like when Liu Cong and others came to Luoyang a year ago, they also came to Luoyang in the hot summer.

At that time, Guo Peng sent the governor of the capital to rarely see He Zheng to give cold drinks to Liu Cong and others, and this time, Guo Peng also sent the governor of the capital to rarely see He Zheng to lead the team and give cold drinks to Liu Zhang and others.

Chilled sour plum soup, chilled sugarcane juice and other chilled juices, as well as a kind of cold food called ice bowl, which is made by the old fireheads themselves, plus almonds, fresh walnuts, grapes, peaches, pears, and ice cubes, mixed together, it tastes unique in hot summer.

In the hot season, the weather is hot, Liu Zhang is sitting in the carriage, and he can't stand the heat anymore, after all, Liu Zhang is not thin, he is even more afraid of heat, and the cold drink given to him by Guo Peng can be regarded as saving him once.

Liu Zhang, who hadn't eaten a cold drink since last year, thanked He Zheng for a while, and then took the cup with the cold drink and drank it in a big gulp.

The cold sweet juice went down to his stomach, Liu Zhang felt a lot more comfortable, and then picked up the ice bowl again, looking at the dazzling array of fruit slices of different colors in it, as well as the bottom layer of ice cubes, he was amazed.

Liu Zhang's food is actually relatively simple cold drinks, Guo Peng didn't expect that when he didn't take the initiative to bring it up, the group of old fireheads actually took the initiative to start trying cold drinks with milk.

Once, I made a bowl of cold drink called milk flower, which even reminded Guo Peng of the taste of milk ice cream.

Of course, these are exclusive to the royal family, and the cost is too high, Guo Peng himself is not very willing to eat, let alone give it to Liu Zhang, a little juice to drink, and an ice bowl to eat, which is the right thing for him.

In addition to Liu Zhang, He Zheng also sent cold drinks to Liu Zhang's family, as well as some important officials and their families, as well as a carriage and a bucket of ice cubes to cool them down.

Of course, only important officials have such treatment, and those small fish and shrimp naturally do not have that kind of treatment.

They don't deserve the luxury of ice.

Storing ice cubes costs a lot of money!

If it weren't for the fact that it could be rewarded to meritorious officials or close ministers in the summer to win people's hearts, Guo didn't plan to build such a large ice cellar, and was going to reduce its size by two-thirds, just let the royal family use it themselves.

But in the summer, rewarding the courtiers with ice cubes is really a good way to win people's hearts and reflect the emperor's compulsion, and this ice cellar really has to be repaired.

When it was cold last winter, all the Shangshan supervisors went out to dig up ice outside Luoyang City, and then transported them back to the palace piece by piece, and it took several days to fill the cellar.

And in the summer, it's time to use it.

In the middle of summer, giving a cup of royal cold drink to the important ministers that he fancies, the effect of winning people's hearts is by no means an ordinary reward can be compared, it is really good.

It's really expensive though!

But it's worth the money.

After receiving the cold drink from the emperor, Liu Zhang expressed his sincere gratitude, and then knelt down outside the city with great consciousness and thanked the emperor in the city for his kindness.

"Minister Liu Zhang, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then, the Shu Han ministers, who had also been rewarded with cold drinks, also quickly knelt down and thanked the emperor in the city for their kindness.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

I have to say that Liu Zhang's awareness of identity change is very good, and he is very responsible as a fish and meat, He Zheng feels that Guo Peng will be very happy if he knows.

Guo Peng was really happy, and after He Zheng sent Liu Zhang and others to the post house to settle down, he went to the palace to report to Guo Peng and told Guo Peng about it.

Guo Peng smiled.

"Liu Jiyu is also sensible, knowing that I am a knife warrior and he is a fish and meat, so I have to make a gesture in time, but unfortunately, I still had a little idea before and did not surrender in time, otherwise, I would have to give him 3,000 households to eat and drink for him.

But it's okay now, not to mention saving a lot of money, you can also put people directly in Yizhou, and then it is not difficult to control Yizhou, Liu Jiyu can be regarded as a contribution to me, if he needs anything, you will try to help him, satisfy him, and don't be honest. ”

"Yes."

He Zheng replied and went to work immediately.

The news of Liu Zhang's arrival in Luoyang soon spread in the streets and alleys of Luoyang, and everyone from officials to ordinary people found it very interesting.

Because a year ago, it was almost at this time, Liu Cong of Jingzhou was captured and went to Luoyang to surrender to His Majesty the Emperor, and at this time of this year, Liu Zhang of Yizhou came to surrender again.

The successive victories have stimulated people's nerves.

This message convinced them that the army led by His Majesty the Emperor was invincible, that they lived in an invincible country, that they were not well taxed, and that they had something to eat.

The cohesion and people's hearts belonging to the Guo Wei regime are constantly born, born, born, and improved.

The memories belonging to the Han Empire are constantly disappearing, while the memories belonging to the Wei Empire are constantly being born and consolidated.

In this way, the Wei Empire continued to fundamentally replace everyone's memories of the Han Empire, and established their consciousness and inertia as subjects of the Wei State.

Liu Zhang's establishment of Shu Han caused some small waves, but it didn't make any sense, and after he was eliminated, the small waves no longer existed.

People will only believe that the will of heaven requires the Wei Dynasty and Han, and the time has come for the Wei Empire.

Whether some people want to admit it or not, this era has come, and inertia has been formed that will not be easily broken.

The remnants of the last Han Empire will also resign themselves to their fate.

When Liu Cong was spending his days drinking and drinking at home with the money rewarded by Guo Peng, when he heard that Liu Zhang was captured to Luoyang, a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed in his eyes.

After Han Song, who was working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, heard about this incident, he only paused a little bit in his hands, and then returned to normal, and continued to find out the graphic materials related to the Western Regions recorded by the official records of the Han Emperors in the past dynasties, and summarized and recorded them.

Liu Zhang and his surrender team were announced three days later to attend the surrender ceremony held by Wei Tianzi.

The cadres and others all need to change into prison uniforms, put on shackles, and walk to the main square of the palace to surrender to His Majesty the Supreme Son of Wei in the world under the custody of Wei soldiers in a humiliating manner.

Then His Majesty the Emperor of Wei would announce their forgiveness and reward, giving them a new status belonging to the Wei Empire, and they would begin a new life with such a new identity.

Liu Zhang still didn't know what arrangements Guo Peng gave him, he asked He Zheng, but He Zheng didn't give him an accurate answer, just said that he would be satisfied, which made Liu Zhang a little uneasy.

Changing into prisoner's clothes and wearing shackles, Liu Zhang led the team to walk in front of a group of ministers, and his mood was very depressed.

On the way to the palace, there were a large number of curious onlookers on both sides of the road, watching what happened to the "traitors" who were defeated by their majesty, and pointing at them from time to time, which embarrassed Liu Zhang and others.

This is what they have to do, because they resisted, they caused the losses of the Wei army, and they had to appear here as sinners to appease the anger in the hearts of the Wei people.

So no matter how embarrassing it is, give it to me!

This group of people are all the main battle faction among the local and Dongzhou people in Yizhou, excluding Xu Jing and other main descendants, which can be regarded as differentiated, so those who are in the main surrender faction feel very happy.

They had already set off for the palace in advance to receive the reward given to them by the emperor, and when Liu Zhang and the others appeared, they would stand in the queue of Wei officials, which could be regarded as Guo Peng helping them to compensate for the injustice they had encountered on Liu Zhang's side before.

Now this group of people is gloating, waiting for Liu Zhang's group to appear in front of them.

With an extremely embarrassing gesture.

It is conceivable that even if this group of people becomes officials in the court in the future, they will become two groups of people who are hostile to each other and hate each other, and they will definitely be incompatible with each other.

As soon as he thinks of this, Guo will feel happy and happy from the bottom of his heart.

It's really fun to have them fighting back and forth or something.

This group of people must not be allowed to be harmonious, and it is absolutely necessary to let this group of people divide into factions and continue to fight and fight.

Otherwise, Guo will not feel at ease.
