868 A Shu dance welcomes Liu Zhang
Liu Zhang's group lowered their heads, just thinking about finishing this journey as soon as possible.
It was easy to wait for this section of the road to come to the main square at the entrance of the palace, and they still had to face the common gaze of the hundreds of officials of the Wei State.
That contemptuous and mocking gaze.
It's really uncomfortable.
But who made them do something like that?
What made Liu Zhang and the others even more unhappy was that the group of people who advocated surrender, especially Xu Jing, had actually changed into the clothes of Wei officials and stood in the ranks of officials, looking at their group of stupid rebels with mocking expressions.
Die to shame!
Despicable and indecent!
Shameless!
Suddenly, all kinds of negative words were born in the heads of Liu Zhang and others.
They looked at Xu Jing and the others angrily, gritting their teeth and hating this group of traitors seeking glory, and wished to let them die here on the spot, with no place to bury.
But in fact, they are the most depressed and helpless people.
Guo Peng was quite good to them, he didn't harm their lives, but only embarrassed them.
And at this moment in their hearts, the most hateful thing is, of course, this group of brazen bastards who wear Wei official clothes to show off their might.
Cui Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as the host of this ceremony, controlled and presided over the entire process, and read out Guo Peng's edict under the gaze of hundreds of officials.
Then Liu Zhang finally waited for the treatment that belonged to him.
Guo Peng thought that although Liu Zhang once resisted Wang Shi's march and brought some trouble to Wang Shi, he finally chose to surrender and gave up resistance, so he was meritorious, and named Liu Zhang as the Marquis of Anle, with 1,300 households in the food estate, quasi-hereditary, and gave Luoyang a set of mansions.
After all, Liu Zhang did not give up resistance directly like Liu Cong, so Liu Cong got 3,000 households, and Liu Zhang only had 1,300 households.
Liu Cong, who was dressed in Wei official clothes and was standing in the group of Wei officials, looked at Liu Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed slightly.
Difficult brothers.
After that, we can make a pair.
Later, Cui Yan ordered them to take off the prisoners' clothes, take off the shackles, burn the clothes, and give them new clothes to symbolize that they would start a new life.
Liu Zhang was awarded the title of Marquis of Anle, but he did not get an official position, obviously he wanted to be kept in captivity.
And the surrendering officials behind him are counted as one, and they are all clearly arranged by the new dynasty.
Wu Yi and Wu Ban were considered to have the ability to command the army and should be appointed, but they needed to be investigated, so they were included in the guard army and served under the command of the guard general Zhao Yun.
Huang Quan and Zhang Su were included in the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Shangshutai, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs is currently very short of manpower.
Zhang Song's big-mouthed cannon is the most special, and he was actually included in the cabinet by Guo Peng and became Guo Peng's close minister.
As soon as this arrangement came out, the main surrender faction who had surrendered in advance was slightly surprised.
They thought that the position they got was already very good, but it turned out that the position that the main battle faction got was not bad, and more importantly, Zhang Song was actually included in the cabinet of the department directly under the direct government of Guo Peng by Guo Peng.
They already know a little bit about the special status of the cabinet in Guo Wei's regime, and those who can enter are all tomorrow's stars who are favored by Guo Peng, what's wrong? Zhang Song is also counted?
This big-mouthed cannon with short limbs and unattractive appearance is actually Guo Peng's optimistic star of tomorrow?
Even the previous batch of Jingzhou ministers were surprised by this, felt incomprehensible, and felt that how could a minister, or a minister of the main battle faction, enter the cabinet?
Some people don't understand Guo Peng's decision, but Guo Peng is the emperor, no matter how much he doesn't understand, he must understand.
They're all just fish.
After the reward and acceptance of those who surrendered, there was a grand banquet of singing and dancing, just as it had been a year earlier.
And this banquet was also extremely luxurious, extremely joyful, and even more luxurious and joyful than the last one.
The beauty of the food, the beauty of the music, the lavish decoration are not comparable to the last time.
Obviously, the fact that the Wei Empire is only one step away from the real unification and the current situation of the Wei Empire's thriving national strength is where this group of high-ranking officials and dignitaries have the confidence to sing and dance to their heart's content.
The glorious scene can also allow the monarchs and ministers of Shu to see through the biggest gap between the Shu Han and Wei empires at a glance.
The gap between the different levels of national strength is too obvious, and if you see the subtleties and think a little, you can figure out a lot of things, and figure out a lot of things that you couldn't figure out before.
The great unification of Wei could not be stopped.
Guo Peng soothed Liu Zhang's mood in a warm voice, personally raised a glass and drank with Liu Zhang, not only that, but also walked off the high platform, called Liu Zhang and Liu Cong together, and drank with them.
"In the past, we were hostile, but now, we are no longer hostile, we can already drink a glass of wine together, in the future, you will move around more when you have nothing to do, don't always be bored in the house, Gui Yihou, you and An Le Hou are the same sect, An Le Hou has just arrived, you have to take care of it, understand?"
Guo Peng looked at Liu Cong with a smile.
Liu Cong smiled intoxicated and bowed.
"Your Majesty's words, Your Majesty...... Keep it in mind! ”
"Hahaha!"
Guo Peng looked at Liu Cong's intoxicated appearance and Liu Zhang's cramped and uneasy appearance, and laughed.
Smart people, smart is good, the smarter you are, the longer you live.
In Luoyang, in Luoyang of the Wei Empire, people who are not smart enough cannot survive, no matter who you are.
Turning around and sitting on the high platform, watching the dancers do their best to show their posture, after a little thought, Guo Peng gave an order.
"An Lehou has just arrived, and he asked the palace people to come to a Shu dance to welcome the arrival of An Lehou!"
Guo Peng gave an order, and the team of court musicians who had been trained and proficient in folk music from all over the country changed the instruments in Shuzhong and played the original Shuzhong minor tune.
And the dancers also changed to a team of dancers who were proficient in Shuzhong dance, and changed into the original Shuzhong dancer costumes.
The makeup is elegant, the clothing is as light as gauze, slightly covering the jade-like skin, hazy, and there is a different kind of beauty.
Subsequently, the elegant Shu minor tune was accompanied by the dancing Shu dance, which bloomed in a different style in the banquet hall in Luoyang.
The Wei officials and generals admired this different style with great interest, and they just had fun.
There were also many people who saw Guo Peng's thoughts, so they looked at the ranks of the ministers in Shuzhong and watched the performance of those people.
For example, Cheng Yu stared at the group of people, not hiding his sharp eyes like eagles and falcons.
Among the groups of subordinates in Shuzhong, only a few showed a comfortable attitude, watching the Shu dance without psychological pressure, and even showed a pig brother-like expression, which was very enjoyable, such as Xu Jing.
And most of the ministers showed a sense of sadness, couldn't bear to look at it, avoided it, and secretly wept, such as Wu Yi and Wu Ban, as well as Huang Quan, Zhang Su and others.
It can be seen that the pain of the loss of the family and country is not something that can be erased by a new official position, and the fact that the family and country have been annexed is so, but this pain is also real.
Liu Zhang also belongs to this category of people.
Although he didn't cry, he didn't laugh, and his eyes never dodged, but he pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth turned down, trembling slightly, it can be imagined that his mood is not stable.
Liu Zhang.
You're not as good as Liu Adou.
Not as smart as he is, not as ruthless as he is.
Of course, someone in Xia Guo is not Sima Zhao.
Guo Peng smiled slightly.
"An Lehou?"
Liu Zhang did not respond.
"An Lehou?"
Guo Peng raised his voice, and Liu Zhang reacted and hurriedly faced Guo Peng.
"Your Majesty."
"An Lehou, you have lived in Shu for many years, and Lone knows that you are used to life in Shu, so I am worried that your life in Luoyang is not comfortable enough, so Lone decided to give you some musicians and dancers for you to watch the Shu dance at any time to relieve the sorrow of missing Shu, okay?"
Guo Peng smiled and said in a gentle tone.
