Luoyang Imperial Palace.

"Hahaha...! Good! is worthy of being the ancient townsman who I personally sealed, and he really lived up to my hopes! ”

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty sat on the top of the main hall, looking at the good news in his hand, and couldn't help laughing.

And Zhang Rang, who has become the head of the ten permanent attendants, bowed his head on the side, his face was cloudy.

At this time, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty looked at Zhang Rang with a happy face and said, "Zhang Qing, come, you can also take a look at this good news, and see how brave my ancient townsmen are!" ”

When Zhang Rang heard this, he took the good news with a smirk, in fact, after this good news came, he was the first to read it, but he didn't dare to say it to Emperor Han Ling, so he had to pretend to look at it.

After he pretended to read it, he congratulated Emperor Han Ling with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have won this good general!"

If there is a big chaos today, and there are many moths and thieves, I think that this must be God to help Your Majesty, so this good general will be produced to help Your Majesty stabilize the world. ”

When Emperor Han Ling heard this, he was overjoyed and laughed: "Hahaha...!" What Zhang Qing said is extremely true!

There are many people in the world, but no one can bring good news to me.

And this ancient villager has no fists and no courage, but he can defeat hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans, so it can be seen that God must help me to destroy the moth thief! ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he asked Zhang Rang: "Zhang Qing thinks that the ancient townsman can get this meritorious service?" ”

"No!" Zhang Rang's words of prevention blurted out without thinking.

"Huh? What do you mean? Seeing that he was so decisive in stopping him, Emperor Han Ling asked with a somewhat puzzled frown.

At this time, Zhang Rang also knew that he was a little excited, and after sorting out his thoughts, he had an idea.

I saw Zhang Rang straighten his clothes and crown, and said to Emperor Han Ling with a straight face: "Your Majesty, if it is undecided today, the yellow scarf has not been extinguished, if Your Majesty rewards the ancient townsman now, I am afraid that he will be sluggish."

Wouldn't it be better to let him lead troops to encircle and suppress the yellow turbans in the world, and then reward them after the yellow turbans are extinguished? ”

"That's ......," Emperor Han Ling thought about when he heard this.

After a while, Emperor Han Ling came back to his senses and nodded and said: "What Zhang Qing said is reasonable, then Li Zhi is young after all, if he is allowed to get a high-ranking official at this time, I am afraid that he will really slack off the war." ”

Speaking of this, he frowned and said to Zhang Rang: "But ......, if you don't reward your merits, I'm afraid that people in the world will think that I treat heroes harshly, right?" ”

When Zhang Rang heard this, his eyes rolled, and he had an idea, and then said to Liu Hong with a smile: "Your Majesty really can't help but appreciate it." ”

"Huh?!" Emperor Han Ling glared at him when he heard this, and scolded angrily: "It is Zhang Qing who says that he will not be rewarded, and it is you who is said to be rewarded!" What the hell does the Qing family mean?! ”

Seeing that Emperor Han Ling was angry, Zhang Rang hurriedly comforted him with gentle words: "Your Majesty is angry, and let the slave and maid explain." ”

Saying that, Zhang Rang squinted his eyes, looked in the direction of Yingchuan and continued: "Your Majesty really can't appreciate the ancient villagers at this time.

But... The slave maid heard that the ancient townsman had married a few years ago, and his wife was a side branch of the Xun family.

With such an identity, it is a little unworthy of the title of the Marquis of the Ancient Township, if His Majesty gives his wife as the king, wouldn't it be the same as rewarding the Marquis of the Ancient Township? ”

Emperor Han Ling's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said urgently: "Zhang Qing is talented! Why didn't I think of this?! ”

Speaking of this, after thinking about it for a while, he asked Zhang Rang: "Since this is the case, then this can't be stingy, do you know if Li Zhi has other wives and concubines?" ”

When Zhang Rang heard this, he knew that Emperor Han Ling had found a way to reward him without spending money, so he was so happy.

After thinking of this, Zhang Rang respectfully replied to Emperor Han Ling: "Your Majesty, as far as the slave maid knows, there is a wife and two concubines in that hometown. ”

If Li Zhi was here, he would definitely be shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect that he had returned to Yingchuan, and Zhang Rang still knew him well, how could he not be surprised? !

Not to mention Li Zhi, and at this time Emperor Ling of Han.

When Emperor Han Ling heard this, he nodded with satisfaction: "Well, this Li Zhi is clean and self-conscious, so, come here!" ”

When a small chamberlain on the side heard this, he immediately came to the front and said respectfully, "Please give instructions from Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty thought for a while and said: "After thinking about the edict of the Wenshitai, the ancient townsman Li Zhi made this great achievement, I can't treat him lightly, and the wife of the ancient townsman is the king of Yangzhai County, and the two concubines are the kings of the ancient townspeople." ”

"Whoa." After hearing Emperor Han Ling's order, the little chamberlain answered and hurried away.

After Zhang Rang saw the little chamberlain walk out, his eyes rolled, and he had a bad thought in his heart, and quietly glanced at Emperor Han Ling, and saw that he didn't pay attention to himself, so he sneaked out.

After coming to the outside of the hall, Zhang Rang called out to the little chamberlain, and whispered in his ear: "When you go to announce the edict this time, find an ugly man......"

After Zhang Rang explained to the little chamberlain like this, he returned to the main hall with a smile.

And at this time, the Northern Battlefield.

"Good, good!" Lu Zhi held the battle report in his tent and applauded loudly.

As the deputy general, Guan Yu saw that his teacher was so happy on the side, so he asked curiously: "But what good news is coming?" Why is the teacher so happy? ”

Lu Zhi laughed and handed the battle report to Guan Yu, and said while laughing: "Look at you, your brother is very capable!" ”

As soon as Guan Yu heard about Li Zhi's matter, he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately took the battle report and read it, and Xi Zhicai on the side also came to him curiously, and glanced at the battle report.

After reading the battle report, they all had a look of surprise on their faces, and they praised loudly: "Brother Xingzhi is very capable!" It's really exciting! ”

When Lu Zhi heard this, he nodded with satisfaction: "When I was in Luoyang, the old man saw that Xingzhixian's nephew was a talent and wanted to leave him as an official, but unfortunately he was not here.

And if there is a big chaos today, and moths and thieves are everywhere, the virtuous nephew of Xingzhi did not stay out of the matter, but instead summoned the villagers to pacify the yellow scarf, this is the righteous man of the country!

After the yellow scarf here is pacified, after returning to Luoyang, the old man will definitely push the virtuous nephew to His Majesty, let him be an official in Beijing, and seek the benefit of the world.

It's a pity that such a talent is not used by my big man, this time the old man is no longer dependent on his temperament, even if he is tied up, he will be tied to Luoyang as an official! ”

Speaking of which, Lu Zhi hated iron a little, he felt that Li Zhi was good everywhere, but he was lazy and unwilling to be an official, but it was very annoying.

If Li Zhi was just a mediocre person, then he wouldn't bother to pay attention to it, but now it seems that Li Zhi is an unborn genius, how can such a person let him be abandoned in the countryside?

Lu Zhi made a decision in his heart, no matter what happened this time, as long as Li Zhi entered Beijing, he would leave him in Luoyang, and if he dared to refute, he would break his legs! See how he goes back!

Just when Lu Zhi was thinking about how to deal with Li Zhi fiercely, Guan Yu on the side interrupted his thoughts.

"Teacher, please rest assured, after the Yellow Turban is pacified, my brother will inevitably enter Beijing as an official."

"Oh?" Lu Zhi glanced at Guan Yu in surprise when he heard this, and then asked suspiciously, "Why are my disciples so sure?" ”

Guan Yu saluted Lu Zhi and apologized: "Teacher, forgive me, the last time the disciple went to attend his brother's wedding, the elder brother told the disciple about it.

At that time, the elder brother said: This is not the time to be an official, and when he stays until the other day, the brother will inevitably enter Beijing as an official, and the virtuous brother should not be impatient. ”

Speaking of this, Guan Yu paused, sorted out his words, and then continued: "From this point of view, it's not that my brother doesn't want to be an official, but it's not time.

Now, my brother has achieved fame and made such a great contribution, presumably he will stay in Beijing as an official this time. ”

"Well, that's true." Lu Zhifu nodded and praised with a look of relief on his face: "Xingzhi's virtuous nephew Yunwen Yunwu, it's a pity not to be an official......"
