"Isn't this person the county magistrate of Dongyucheng? Why is this person famous? ”

Emperor Da Zhou asked.

"Your Majesty, Liu Shang is similar in age to the old minister, he studied in Taixue, he was friends with the first emperor, he was good at bowing horses, good at reading poetry and books, both civil and military, when Emperor Zhuang (the grandfather of the Great Zhou Emperor) heard about it, he was recruited as the northern lieutenant, and it was at a time when there were noble children who rode horses on the streets and hurt people. Liu Shang killed dozens of noble children on the spot, and since then, the Jingshi has collected traces, and no one dares to offend! However, it also offended many nobles, fortunately, the first emperor was able to protect it, so Emperor Zhuang sent Liu Shang far away to Dongyu City, away from the Beijing Division, and the nobles gave up! When the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he wanted to recall Liu Shang to the court as an official many times, but due to many obstructions, it could not be done, and the first emperor also remembered it before his death, which was quite regrettable. ”

"Ahh The Great Zhou Emperor was full of surprise, stood up, and said straightly: "It turned out to be him, no wonder he is so familiar, my father really remembers him, and has mentioned this person to me many times, often saying that Shang is a loyal and brave man." ”

"Your Majesty!"

Chen He knelt on his knees, his face full of pain, "Liu Shang has guarded the frontier for the Great Zhou Dynasty for more than 50 years, throwing his head, spilling blood, covering his liver and gall, going through a hundred battles, wearing several wounds, and fighting fiercely at the head of the city at the age of seventy, not allowing the enemy army to get close to the front!" The two sons and one grandson were not in the battle, leaving only the grandson Liu De alone. Your Majesty!!! The Liu family is a loyal martyr, how can there be a heart of disobedience, and I hope that Your Majesty will be aware of it! ”

"Oops! I didn't expect my Da Zhou to have such loyal ministers..."

The Great Zhou Emperor was quite annoyed.

After hearing this, Cao Sui was shocked: "Your Majesty, Liu De..."

"Alright! Cao Sikong don't talk about it. ”

The Great Zhou Emperor was full of impatience, and he didn't say anything, but he kept muttering in his heart, these loyal ministers suffered this ordeal because of your group of turtle grandsons, and I was prescient and not deceived by you, hum!

Cao Sui reluctantly retreated, his face was pale, and he became more and more ugly.

And Li Zhen laughed on the side and said nothing.

"Then how does Chen Situ think to reward Liu De?" Emperor Da Zhou asked softly.

"Your Majesty, Dongyu is a border town after all, and Liu De's official position is humble, so it is better to move Liu De to the general of Sipin Pingbei to make the town small." Chen He proposed.

"No, Your Majesty, Liu De is still young, how can he be suddenly promoted to a high position, you must know how many four-rank generals I have in the Great Zhou, which one is not a high level of hard work, if this child is promoted to a high position, I am afraid that the soldiers of our army will not accept it!" Cao Sui stopped.

"Isn't it a credit to defeat the 100,000-strong army of Donghu?" Chen He retorted.

"I'm afraid it's Liu De's luck, maybe Liu Shang has already defeated the enemy army and let Liu De pick up a bargain; Or it was Donghu's own withdrawal of the army, how can it be credited! Cao Sui said.

I didn't expect Cao Sui's casual rebuttal, so he guessed the matter eight or nine times ago, although if it wasn't for Liu De Dongyu would have been broken by Donghu, but in the final analysis, it was Donghu's own withdrawal of the army, and the morale of the Donghu army was low, but there was still the strength of a battle, which is an indisputable fact.

"Cao Sikong, you slandered the soldiers guarding the frontier so much, aren't you afraid of the world's jokes when you spread it?" Chen He angrily scolded.

"Okay, my two humerus, you say so much because of Liu De, then Liu Shang has guarded the border for the country for 50 years, but the court has no reward, doesn't this mean that the court's rewards and punishments are unknown? I have a law, how about you ministers? ”

The Great Zhou Emperor's beard was slightly curled, and he was proud of the way he had thought of it.

"Please also make it clear to Your Majesty!"

"Liu Shang has guarded the border for more than 50 years, after more than 100 battles, hard work, meritorious service, and is now posthumously named the Marquis of Dongyu County, and the title is inherited by his grandson, how about you?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Chen He knelt on the ground and shouted Shengming, glancing at Cao Sui, I see if you have any excuse to stop it.

Cao Sui knew that Liu De, the county marquis, was destined to inherit it, and he couldn't stop it, so he could only think of a way, "Your Majesty, what about Liu De's recruitment order?" ”

"Well, this wind can't be long, but Dongyu is a border town, and there is a lack of talents, so it can be avoided, this time it's like this, if there is a next time, it will be heavily punished!"

"Yes..."

Cao Sui had nothing to say and had no choice but to retreat.

"Do the rest of us still have questions?"

When the hundred officials saw it, what else could be wrong with this, Hulala knelt down, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

"Haha!"

The Emperor of the Great Zhou laughed, I haven't been so happy for a long time, and the ministers are not obedient, this is the majesty of the emperor.

"Come on, let's draft an edict!"

"Yes!"

The emperor's decree and Sikongfu's letter were sent on the same day to Dongyu and Liaocheng (the capital of Yanzhou), respectively.

...

In the month of back and forth letters, Liu De has been busy dealing with government affairs, training soldiers, organizing people to build houses, occasionally practicing martial arts with Guan Yu, Liu Gui and others, learning the method of commanding the army, and returning home every night to talk to his sister-in-law and sister-in-law, teasing the little butterfly, although busy, but Liu De feels extremely fulfilled and happy.

Of course, there are also troubles, Xi'er was sad for several days because of Cui Dayong's death, Cui Dayong bullied people and died innocently, Xi'er's mother and Cui Dayong were not friendly to Xi'er, and often beat and scolded, and when Xi'er entered Liu's mansion, their attitude began to change, and later heard that Xi'er became Liu De's personal maid, the change in attitude was eye-popping, very attentive, and flattered in every way, which can be described as extremely snobbish.

Xi'er has a good heart, after all, Cui Dayong is his biological brother, Xi'er's mother came to Liu's mansion for several days, and even splashed and rolled outside the county office, making it known all over the city, making Liu's mansion embarrassed, Xi'er was caught in it, but I don't know what to do, if it weren't for Liu De's fear that Xi'er would be even more sad, he would have killed this shrew a long time ago, what is it, it is so rampant, I really don't have a temper.

Liu De directly told Xi'er Ming that if his mother dared to be so presumptuous, don't blame herself for being ruthless. Cui's mother didn't dare to spread the wilderness openly, but she often spread bad words about Liu De in secret, and some people who knew the truth of the matter angrily scolded Cui's mother for not knowing the benevolence and righteousness of the son, and dared to secretly slander the son, and her crime should be punished!

Whenever someone sees Cui's mother, they point and point, Cui's mother secretly hates, but she is helpless.

......

Gongsun Qi reported to Liu Deyu the information on the withdrawal of Donghu troops: "My lord, the last general has found out that it was the Beihu and Qiang tribes who united dozens of small clans to attack the Donghu royal court with an army of 500,000, so Gongli had to lead the army to withdraw. ”

"It's a pity that my Dongyu troops are small, and most of them are new soldiers, otherwise if I lead the army out of the grassland, I will be able to take this opportunity to eradicate the Donghu lineage, but it's okay, the North Hu, the East Hu, and the Qiang are all alien races, and the hearts of non-my race will be different, if the East Hu is destroyed, the Qiang and the North Hu will also become the next East Hu, just let them eat the dog! After this battle, even if Donghu wins, it is a tragic victory, and Dongyu should be worry-free in a year or two. ”

"Lord Shengming!"

Gongsun Qi heard Liu De's analysis and praised.

......

"Lord, the number of refugees in Dongyu City has been increasing recently, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult to maintain the grain and grass in Dongyu, and it will not be able to last next year's autumn harvest!"

After listening to Tan Zheng's report, Liu De asked: "This year is not a disaster year, why are there so many refugees?" ”

Tan Zheng replied: "I sent someone to inquire, saying that there are strongmen who occupy the mountains as kings, plunder property, and destroy grain fields, but if they don't kill people, they will expel the people, so Dongyu City will gather so many refugees." ”

"The strongman occupies the mountain as the king, how can the state capital be indifferent?"

"What do you think, lord?"

"There must be something strange in this..."

"Recruit Captain Yannan quickly!"

"Yes!"
