"Me?"

When Kong Rong heard Liu Ping say that it was himself who took the first credit in Xuzhou, his eyes suddenly widened and he was stunned.

The surrounding ministers were also in an uproar when they heard it,

After a while, Kong Rong said in a sneering voice: "The reason why Liu Gong was able to successfully take Xuzhou is that Liu Gong imitated Su Qin Zhang Yi and other eloquents to persuade Cao Bao and the Danyang Army to be loyal to the imperial court, what does this have to do with the old man?"

Liu Gongmo wasn't joking with his old man, right? ”

At this time, Liu Xie was also surprised, looked at Liu Ping and asked: "Where did Liu Qing start with this, Kong Qing has always been with me, and he has never helped, how can he say the first thing?" ”

Liu Xie naturally understood that Hua Xin's words just now were to lure out Cao Ren for Liu Ping, and to ask for credit for Cao Ren in a good name, but Liu Ping did not mention Cao Ren, but instead mentioned Kong Rong.

Kong Rong is a scholar, and he has nothing to do with Xuzhou Mao, how can Liu Ping take the court's reward as a gift and give it away at will?

Thinking of this, Liu Xie's face changed.

"Your Majesty probably didn't know that Kong Shaofu personally appeared at the Wenhui and presented the articles of the princes to Xuzhou scholars," Liu Ping said with a straight face: "It is precisely because of this incident that this led to the fruit of the pottery merchant's arrest, and later led to Cao Bao's rescue and humiliation."

In this way, the minister can successfully persuade the pottery merchant Cao Bao and the two, this is the first credit of Xuzhou, isn't it Kong Shaofu? ”

There was silence in the room for a while.

"So that's the case, Liu Gong praised it, the old man didn't dare to be ashamed, he really didn't dare to be ashamed," Kong Rong waved his hand again and again, and explained to the people around him with a smile: "When the old man came back from the Wenhui, he was still annoyed because he didn't persuade the potter.

As a result, Liu Gong told the old man at that time that the great achievement had been made, and the old man still didn't understand what he meant. ”

Everyone nodded after hearing this, many people had heard Kong Rong talk about it, and at that time they thought that Liu Ping was just fulfilling Kong Rong's face, so they comforted him casually.

I didn't expect to figure it out now after listening to Liu Ping's explanation, and Kong Rong did seem to play a role.

Of course, this is also because Liu Ping is far-sighted and scheming.

At this time, Liu Xie already knew that Liu Ping did not regard the court's reward as a gift, so he bowed his head slightly and said: "Liu Qing's words are reasonable, Kong Qing has indeed contributed to the court in this matter, and he immediately rewarded Kong Qing with 100 silk horses as a reward." ”

This year, under the management of Liu Ping's native field, the native field has reaped a bumper harvest, as if today's son already has a little money in his hands.

There is copper in the waist and there is no panic in my heart, and at this time, the meritorious heroes are also more confident, and they are no longer like before, relying on the official to make a wish at every turn.

Speaking of which, this is also the result of Liu Ping's inaction at the beginning.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Although Kong Rong felt that he was ashamed of it, after all, this was Liu Ping's goodwill, and he couldn't forcibly reject it.

It's a big deal to find a chance to return this favor in the future.

As an official in the court, isn't it just that you help me, I help you, and the sedan chair carries people?

A hundred silk horses are not much, but this is the emperor's reward, which represents the supreme glory, and the symbolic meaning is far greater than the actual meaning, which naturally attracts the coveted by the rest of the ministers.

They gathered around Liu Ping one after another, and some people laughed playfully: "Dare to love Liu Gong is the reincarnation of Emperor Wenchang, whoever sticks to him will be rewarded for meritorious service." ”

Emperor Wenchang is since the beginning of the pre-Qin period, Taoism absorbs folk beliefs and forms the secular gods who dominate the fame and position, and there are many officials to worship, and the legend is that they can be promoted and made rich.

Although the man was joking, everyone seemed to have some truth when they thought about it, and even Kong Rong, who obviously failed to persuade the potter, turned into a great achievement.

Sticking to Liu Pingbian, it seems that indeed anyone can make meritorious contributions.

"The princes are laughing, how can there be such a thing?" Liu Ping felt embarrassed.

But he was thinking in his heart that not everyone who was sticking to him could make meritorious contributions, the key was to see who he wanted to give the credit to.

For top Vs like Kong Rong, of course, you have to be enveloped, maybe it will be useful in the future.

Waiting for everyone to be quiet for a while, Hua Xin continued: "Since Kong Shaofu is the first person to make meritorious contributions, I don't know who the second person is? ”

Hua Xin still had to work hard to lure out Cao Ren, but he didn't expect Liu Ping to say categorically: "It's Lu Qi!" ”

Hua Xin's legs were weak, and he thought that Cao Zixiao could only rank third, right?

"Then General Lu Qi is the daughter of Lu Wenhou?" Liu Xie still has an impression of Lu Qi, and he also named Lu Qi as the general of Huya, and gave him the Hou of Guannei.

In fact, the female marquis did not violate the ancestral system, this kind of thing was very common in the Han Dynasty, when the female minister Xu Cheng was named the Ming Female Marquis by the Emperor Gaozu with her clever ability to look at the appearance, and the people who ruled in the later dynasties were many effective imitators.

"Exactly!" Liu Ping nodded, and said with a straight face: "At the beginning in Xuzhou City, Lu Qi's whereabouts were discovered by Zhang Fei.

However, in order not to expose our whereabouts, Lu Qi risked his life, deliberately led Zhang Fei in the opposite direction, and dragged Zhang Fei to death.

Therefore, he later defeated Guan Yu and took the city. ”

In fact, after Liu Ping asked about the situation at that time, he also felt a burst of happiness.

If it weren't for Lu Qi's unwillingness to expose his whereabouts and lead Zhang Fei to the south of the city regardless of his own safety, even if the Danyang army rebelled, it would be difficult to attack the city.

So at this time, Liu Ping really wanted to give credit to that girl.

"The daughter of Marquis Lu Wen," Liu Xie muttered to himself, he still missed the imperial court when Wang Yun and Lu Bu were jointly in charge.

It was also a brief moment of power in his life.

Liu Xie thought for a moment before saying, "In that case, I will give Lu Ji a virgin and a maiden to enter Liu Qing's mansion." ”

All the ministers were a little dazed when they heard this brainless reward.

Only Liu Ping knew that Lu Qi's identity was too embarrassing before, if he was just a general, he would be held by him all day long to "hug his sister and kill".

It's just a skin-to-skin blind date all day long, but she can't even be counted as a maidservant, to be exact, she can only be regarded as a female prisoner who has made meritorious contributions.

Now even the emperor can't look at it, so he gave the virgin a concubine and ordered Lu Qi to enter Liu's mansion, which can be regarded as giving Lu Qi a legitimate identity.

Because Liu Ping already has a wife, Lu Qi can only be regarded as a concubine when he enters Liu's mansion, but he is married by the emperor and blessed by a virgin woman and a maiden, and there is no concubine in the world who can have such glory.

"Minister, thank you for your grace!" Liu Ping said respectfully.

Then, the Son of Heaven finally named Cao Ren as the general of the expedition to the east and gave him the Marquis of Gaoping Pavilion.

This official position is the same level as Cao Chun Xiahou Yuan, but the title is one level higher.

Only then did everyone realize that in fact, how to reward Cao Ren, the emperor had already known in his heart, and he was not at all in the morning or evening when Liu Ping proposed it.

……

Besides, Lu Qi rushed all the way back to the place where they lived.

It was a secluded courtyard, and although Liu Ping had removed the surrounding guards, they still felt that they were prisoners.

So he usually acts in a low-key manner, and he doesn't dare to deal with others, even the maids and maids are in the past.

"Mother!" Lu Qi jumped off the horse in front of the door, shouted heartbreakingly, and ran in......
