"Where is Liu De?" Ji Yuanwu said again.

"The minister is here!" Liu De's expression was on the screen, and it was finally his turn, so he stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and kowtowed.

"Yang Wei general Liu De, loyal to his duties, when his grandfather died, he turned the tide, defeated 100,000 soldiers and horses of Donghu, and when Leyang City fell, annihilated 100,000 Linhu troops, beheaded Linhu Zuoxian King Tuoba Dashi, raised the prestige of our country, and was really the pillar of the country.

And husband, Liu De's grandfather, the general Liu Shang guarded Dongyu for more than 50 years, so that the people of Yanzhou border Li people from the suffering of war, is a great merit, Liu's family is a loyal martyr, how can I make the hero cold, posthumously named the Great Zhou general Liu Shang as the general of the five auxiliary countries; posthumously named Liu Kuang (Uncle Liu De), the captain of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as the general of Liupin Zhenwei; posthumously named Liu Sheng, the captain of the Great Zhou Dynasty (the father of Liu De), as the general of Liupin Zhenwu; Posthumously named Liu Qian (Liu Kuang's son) as the general of Liupin Fenwei. Posthumously awarded Liu Shang's wife Zhang as a five-grade edict with a pleasant life, in order to show Liu's merits, do not forget the martyr's soul. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu De kowtowed and bowed again, His Majesty the Emperor's reward was not ungenerous, this is to prove to the world that Liu Shang is meritorious to the imperial court, but also to stabilize the hearts of the border soldiers, you see, the imperial court can't forget you, rest assured to garrison the border!

"Yangwei General Liu De is not far away, for the imperial court to remove the rebellion, the credit is very rich, now named the four products of the Anbei general, the Marquis of Dongyu, 1,200 households, reward 1,000 taels of gold, 50 brocades, 10 pearls, still guard Dongyu, guard against the Hu people. The generals Guan Yu, Dian Wei, Xu Hu, Qin Qiong, Zhou Cang, and Peng Yue were all rewarded with one hundred taels of gold and ten brocades for encouragement. Guan Yu captured Cao Sui and killed Cao Mao, which was the primary contributor to quelling the Jingying Rebellion, and then named Guan Yu as the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion to show his merits! ”

Liu De was stunned, what does the emperor mean by this? Although the killing of Cao Mao is indeed a great achievement, the merits of other generals are no less than Guan Yu, why did Guan Yu propose it separately for reward? And one is the title of the Marquis of Ting?

In other words, the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion is a little familiar!

And although he named himself the Marquis of Dongyu and the General of Anbei, in fact, he only controls a county town in Dongyu, in addition to the gold and brocade that he is rewarded, he has not gained more benefits, such as expanding his territory or something, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is very well guarded!

Liu De didn't think much about it, and hurriedly thanked His Majesty, and Guan Yu and other generals also got up from their seats and thanked the emperor.

Liu De arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, when fighting with the Beijing camp, Wei Yan, the captain of the city gate, was quite meritorious, if it wasn't for Wei Yan's good scheduling and proper command, the city gate would definitely be broken by Cao Mao, and the ministers would be brave enough to ask for credit for Wei Yan!" ”

On the way back, Liu De learned about Wei Yan from Guan Yu and Peng Yue, and Liu De didn't expect that Wei Yan, who he had summoned, would appear so suddenly, and also serve as the captain of the city gate.

However, because of Wei Yan's position and Li Zhen's obstruction, Wei Yan did not come with Liu De and others to meet the emperor, and is still cleaning up the battlefield in Nancheng.

Since Wei Yan has meritorious service and will be his own person in the future, Liu De saw that the emperor did not reward him, so he specially asked for merit.

"Oh? I didn't expect that there would be such loyal and brave people, Li Sima, what General Anbei said is true? Ji Yuanwu asked Li Zhen not far away, why didn't Li Zhen report the meritorious minister named Wei Yan?

Li Zhen's expression was calm, and he stood up and said, "Your Majesty! This person does have some small merits, but this person relies on a little bit of merit, and he doesn't take others in his eyes, and he speaks evil words, which is really hateful, and Weichen thinks that if such a general holds an important position, wouldn't it make the court humiliated? Besides, isn't it the duty to be the captain of the city gate? So the minister took him down the merit book! ”

At this time, King Luan, who had been silent, also said: "Your Majesty, the envoy sent by the minister to inform Wei Yan also said that this person was a little arrogant and rude, and there was no one in his eyes!" ”

"This..."Li Zhen said this, Ji Yuanwu was still a little skeptical, but King Luan also said so, Ji Yuanwu also thought that Wei Yan was useless, and Ji Yuanwu didn't like this kind of courtier the most, so he said: "Since this is the case, then according to what Li Sima said!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Liu De was persuading: "If you don't reward your merits, wouldn't it make the soldiers feel cold!" ”

"Liu De, pay attention to your tone, as a courtier, just do your duty. Don't rely on some merit to get an inch! Li Zhen looked at Liu De very unpleasantly, and couldn't help but scold.

"Your Majesty! The old minister thinks that what General Anbei said is extremely true, meritorious service must be rewarded, and guilt must be punished, then the good will advance day by day, and the evil person will stop day by day. If this person's character is arrogant and rude, and he will not be rewarded, will not let the people of the world say that His Majesty is not tolerant of elegance, and the talented people in the world are not serving the court, the soldiers do not die, and the scribes do not sell their lives, and the society will be in danger! Please also ask Your Majesty to reward Wei Yan according to his merits, with the heart of the soldiers and the heart of the world. ”

"What Chen Situ said is reasonable!"

Ji Yuanwu nodded and said, falling into hesitation, just said that he would not be rewarded, and now he has changed his words, isn't it a slap in the face?

After hesitating, Ji Yuanwu still said: "Since this is the case, then reward Wei Yan with ten brocades to show his merits!" ”

"Ministers Wei Yan has thanked Your Majesty!"

Liu De is helpless, in Liu De's opinion, although Wei Yan's merits are not obvious, but he can lead the soldiers to guard the south city gate, and the credit is definitely no worse than Peng Yue, Zhou Cang, and Xu Hu, but he is only rewarded with ten brocades.

It's time to leave!

But there's one more thing before leaving...

"Your Majesty! There's one more thing to do! Liu De said again.

"What's the matter with General Anbei?" Ji Yuanwu was already a little impatient, in his opinion, Liu De's value had been exhausted, and it was time to send him back to the bitter cold land as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, Yanzhou Mu Yang Zichuan deliberately did not send reinforcements to support Leyang City, resulting in the destruction of Leyang City, Leyang City guarded five father and son, only one person survived, most of the territory of Yanzhou was full of sorrow, all into scorched earth, and the people of Li were trembling under Lin Hutie's horse. Your Majesty! Yang Zichuan led the wolf into the house, the crime was monstrous, and he asked His Majesty to seek justice for the millions of people in Yanzhou! ”

Liu De prostrated to the ground.

"What! Yang Zichuan, how dare he? Ji Yuanwu looked incredulous, waved his hand, and shouted: "Where is the imperial history?" ”

"The minister is here!" An official hurriedly stepped out of his seat.

"Yu Shi Zhongcheng, do you know about this?" Ji Yuanwu asked.

"Your Majesty, the ministers really don't know, maybe there are some misunderstandings... I wonder if General Anbei has any evidence? Yu Shi Zhongcheng lowered his head and asked.

"This lord, there is no definite evidence below, but what Yang Zichuan did is angry and resentful, and the people of Yanzhou can testify, how can there be a misunderstanding?" Liu De retorted.

"That's it! General Anbei, don't be impatient! I still believe in General Anbei, but the dignified state pastor is an important minister of the state, and he can't move lightly without evidence! Yu Shi Zhongcheng said that he didn't know, and General Anbei couldn't come up with specific evidence, so I ordered Yu Shi Zhongcheng to send a supervisor to check the imperial history and report the matter to the court! ”

"Command!"

Ji Yuanwu thought for a while and said, "Zhang Zhong! ”

"The slave is here!" Zhang Zhong hurriedly responded.

"Order Song Shi to go with the supervision of the imperial history!"

"Yes!"

"Thank you for the millions of people in Yanzhou, Your Majesty Longen!" Liu De bowed. Although he did not reach his final mystery, Liu De was already very satisfied.
