"Hahaha, my champion Hou is back!!"

The Son of Heaven laughed and walked up, Duan Xi had already dismounted, stood aside, bowed to him, and said, "Greetings to Your Majesty!" The Son of Heaven stepped forward and grabbed his hand, and said with a smile: "Hey, why should Duan Jun be polite? ”

"Duan Jun is for me, and he has removed such a big trouble as Tanshi Huai! has opened up thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the general's merits should be worshipped! As he spoke, the Son of Heaven was about to salute him, Duan Xi was so frightened that he almost knelt down in front of him, and hurriedly said: "This is all thanks to Your Majesty's sage, so that the world is under great rule, and foreign enemies are not to be afraid, how dare the minister accept Your Majesty's gift!" ”

Hearing Duan Xi say this, the Son of Heaven got up with a smile, pulled him along, and wanted to walk with him, Duan Xi still didn't dare, followed behind the Son of Heaven, lowered his head, and respectfully, the Son of Heaven pulled him and brought him to the hundred officials, and the hundred officials also visited one after another, Chen Zan, put aside their disgust with Duan Xi first, Duan Xi's military exploits alone are enough for them to respect.

He went out this time, directly wiped out the Xianbei people who had harassed the Han border for decades, and also set up two extremely large prefectures and counties.

When entering the city of Luoyang, Duan Xi was also worshiped by many people, he has now become the first general of the Han Dynasty, and his prestige among the people is high, and He Xiu may be able to compare, and the rest of the important ministers are not qualified, through the sea of cheering people, everyone returned to the palace, and the Son of Heaven held a grand banquet for Duan Xi to celebrate his merits.

The banquet was held very grandly, the singer, the music house, the honor guard, all the officials and officials in Luoyang were all present, except for He Xiu, He Xiu resigned because he wanted to take care of Liu Wei, during the banquet, Duan Xi was still very restrained, he still had fear in his heart, halfway through the banquet, the Son of Heaven slowly stood up, and the voice read out Duan Xi's exploits as a reward.

Subsequently, it is to add rewards, most of these rewards are nominal, such as some special cases like He Xiu, such as titles such as sealing the waiter, after the big reward, the Son of Heaven's brows slowly wrinkled, and the ministers did not find out, but Duan Xi, who always paid attention to the Son of Heaven, trembled in his heart, and the Son of Heaven took out a letter and gave it to the Yellow Gate beside him, so that he could read it.

"Duan Xi seized 3,000 stones of grain and grass, and bribed the officials of Hezhou, as follows" Huangmen read it with a bitter face, and the people who were cheering stopped abruptly, at a loss, Huangmen continued to read, read it word for word, and then handed it to the Son of Heaven, but Duan Xi was extremely unbearable at this moment, his legs were trembling, he fell to the ground in front of the Son of Heaven, and the ministers were silent.

The atmosphere that was originally extremely lively suddenly became extremely cold.

"Hehehe, Duan Jun, but the court is not enough?"

"The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty, and I hope Your Majesty will atone for your sins!" Duan Xi said in a panic, this appearance made all the officials a little unconvinced, is this still the general who beat the head of the alien race? The change was so fast, everyone was a little sluggish, only the Son of Heaven, his face was flat, he couldn't see his joy and anger, and he squinted his eyes slightly from time to time, Duan Xi fell in horror in front of the Son of Heaven.

Originally, he just wanted to deliberately give the Son of Heaven some handles, so that the Son of Heaven could rest assured of himself, but he didn't expect that his behavior would cause the Son of Heaven to be jealous even more. He dug his own grave, and the Son of Heaven looked at him for a moment and exclaimed, "Come on! Bring it in! ”

Hearing this, Duan Xi was so frightened that he was a little distracted, and some soldiers poured in outside the door, but they did not carry weapons, but held a disc, which was wrapped and could not see what it was, the Son of Heaven stepped forward and tore off the cloth on it, but inside was shining gold, which was extremely dazzling, and the hundred officials couldn't understand the meaning of the Son of Heaven, Duan Xi was even more afraid.

Because in the Han Dynasty, so much gold was only used when he was buried when he died.

The Son of Heaven looked at Duan Xi, stepped forward, slowly helped him up, pointed to the gold, and said: "If Duan Jun is short of money, he will tell me that I will never treat any meritorious heroes badly, but the people's and soldiers' are absolutely not allowed to be taken, and you will return the money that you are greedy for ink to everyone, and the gold will be given to you."

Duan Xi was stunned for a moment, slowly raised his head, looked at the Son of Heaven, and there was some disbelief in his eyes, just now, he had already thought of his last words, what was the situation?

"Merit will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, you are greedy and bribed, but if you defeat Xianbei, protect one party, and make merit, I will not punish you, take these golds, if it is not enough, then find me to get it"

"If 100 gold can be exchanged for peace on the border and the people are rich, I would rather spend all my money to make the Han Dynasty permanent and the people happy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Duan Xi got up and bowed heavily to the Son of Heaven, a few tears falling from the corners of his eyes.

All the officials were moved by the affection of such kings and ministers, and even more so by the Son of Heaven, and involuntarily completely possessed and worshipped, headed by Yuan Feng, and shouted: "The Son of Heaven is Shengming!" The Son of Heaven turned his head to look at them, his face was still so calm, and it did not change because of Duan Xi's tears and the worship of hundreds of officials, he shook his head, waved his hand, and said: "Get up, you are at the banquet today, you can't be polite!" ”

Yuan Feng raised his head slowly, for some reason, he seemed to see Emperor Xiaowen standing in front of him, the Son of Heaven is more and more like a great Han Son of Heaven, no, it is more and more like a Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, with the world in his heart, this is for the monarch, and then, the hundred officials continued the night banquet, and their eyes looked at the Son of Heaven, and they became more and more respectful, and Duan Xi was even more ashamed and almost cried.

After the night banquet, the Son of Heaven returned to the harem drunk, went to the Yongning Palace of the Song Queen, entered the palace, the Song Queen personally stepped forward, brought him back to the bed, and let people find the soup, personally fed the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven looked at her with a smile, smiled, and said: "Queen, I have nothing to do"

Empress Song looked at the Son of Heaven who was still half-drunk just now, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "Your Majesty, why is this?" The Son of Heaven smiled and said, "If I don't get drunk, the officials will be very restrained", Queen Song knew in her heart that the Son of Heaven was not telling the truth, but he could show sobriety in front of him, which made Queen Song excited enough.

Her face was flushed, she cleaned up the bed, and suddenly, her brows furrowed, and she asked with some concern: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you have angered Your Majesty?" ”

"Hahaha, this erector, that day he said that I was a fool, I couldn't get angry, so I beat him!"

"This" Empress Song had some sadness on her face.

"Hey, don't worry, when I was young, I was no better than him, and I was chased by Master He with a sword every day!"

"Huh? Then Master He won't treat Bian'er like this! ”

"Hey, I still want him to discipline him like this, but it's a pity, he regards Bian'er as his own grandson and spoils him a lot, but I see that he has grown a lot by his side, at least he has a sword, so let him stay there!" The Son of Heaven said with a smile, and Empress Song continued: "The prince can't live outside the palace for a long time, so let Master He move to the palace and continue to teach the debate." ”

"Master He will never agree, he is extremely stubborn, how could he agree to such an unetiquette thing?"

"Then how about buying a courtyard outside the palace and letting them live a little closer? In that way, Your Majesty will be able to know the situation of the debate at any time, and the Queen Mother has not seen her grandson for a long time, and she is also making trouble in the palace."

"That's okay, then I'll send someone tomorrow to ask Master He"

The two chatted for a while, ready to rest, when Empress Song suddenly asked, "What did the palace maids who served Wei'er do before?" ”

The Son of Heaven frowned and said: "They deceived me, in vain trying to add the notoriety of the above bullying to Bian'er, and separated the father and son, so they were killed by me", Empress Song was a little frightened when she heard this, and the Son of Heaven asked again: "They were sent by you to take care of Bian'er?" Empress Song shook her head and said in a low voice: "It was recommended by He Guiren, and she said that she was a trustworthy palace maid."

"Oh, no wonder she's been saying she's been sick for the past few days," the Son of Heaven whispered, and a few fierce lights suddenly appeared in his eyes, but they quickly disappeared. 11
