Chapter 23: Wish-fulfilled
Chapter 23 As he wished, Lu Bu saw that Emperor Ling really wanted to listen to his opinion, so he no longer gave in.
"Then I don't know if Your Majesty wants to be happy for a while, or if you want to have peace and stability for a long time."
"Oh? What's the point of being happy? What about long-term peace and stability? ”
"Your Majesty, after this battle, the Northern Huns suffered a great deal of luck, and most of the strong men in the clan died in battle, such as eagles breaking their wings, and the other tribes of the grassland will not give up this opportunity, and will definitely wait for the opportunity to annex them, even the other two tribes of the Northern Huns themselves will also take advantage of the weakness. If the picture is happy for a while, you can kill Humble Chi and others, and then leave the Northern Xiongnu Right Xianwang to fend for themselves, but no matter which force is cheaper, it will eventually continue to be the enemy of my Han in the future. However, at the time of the life-and-death crisis of extermination, the minister thought that this was also an opportunity to divide and disintegrate the Huns in exchange for long-term peace and stability in the frontier. You can persuade the humble Chi and others, let them go back to inherit the throne of the right virtuous king, and then order them to raise the crowd to vote, just like the Southern Huns voted for my Han, if there is a war in the future, they can drive the Huns to attack each other, that clumsy red greedy and lustful, brave and unscrupulous, this kind of person became the patriarch, what are we afraid of. When Emperor Ling heard this, he was very happy, but he didn't expect that this Lu Bu was young, but his knowledge and strategy were extraordinary, and his martial arts were abnormal, he was really a rare talent with both civil and military skills.
Emperor Ling ordered someone to bring the Hun nobles such as Humble Chi to the palace, the Xiongnu nobles all learned Chinese, and did not need to translate, Emperor Ling asked Humble Chi, if he spared him not to die, and still let him be the right Xian King, whether he was willing to lead the troops to surrender, and move south, that Humble Chi was originally cold and discouraged, and waited for death, and now heard that the Han Ling Emperor not only spared him from dying, but also let him inherit the throne of the Right Xian King, how can he take care of any additional conditions, that is, let him be a cow and a horse for the Han Ling Emperor, and he is also willing, naturally he is full of promises, kowtow and thank him.
In order to show his benevolence, Emperor Ling of Han exempted Humble Chi from the death penalty and let him succeed to the throne of King Youxian, leaving Humble Chi's son in Luoyang as a hostage.
After ordering Humble Chi to go back, he immediately moved his troops south, and temporarily designated Juyanze as the grazing land of the Right Xianwang Department.
The Northern Xiongnu Right Xianwang Department, like the Southern Xiongnu departments, was under the jurisdiction of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General, and the imperial court would appoint it later.
Return the coffin of King Youxian to Humble Chi and bury himself. Recreate a certain golden crown of the right virtuous king to give it to the humble red, as a token of the Han royal family's canonization of the right virtuous king.
The original gold crown entered the royal collection as a trophy. Everything was arranged, and Emperor Han Ling looked at Ding Yuan and Lu Bu with a pleasant face: "Two Aiqing, this time you two have made such a great feat, and you have captured a lot, I should reward you heavily, um," Emperor Han Ling thought for a moment,
"Ordered Ding Yuan to be the captain of the guard, the rank of general of the guard, in charge of the Southern Army, and promoted Lu Bu to the rank of cavalry captain, leading the rank of general of the cavalry, and riding in charge of the feather forest." Emperor Chrysostom Yuyan, as soon as the reward came out, the government and the opposition were shocked, thinking that they would be rewarded, but they didn't expect to be directly promoted to Jiuqing, and they were one of the top three secretaries, General Wei, in charge of the forbidden army in the palace, Lu Bu also jumped from a small military Sima to a cavalry captain, and was also in charge of one of the elite of the forbidden army, Yulin Cavalry, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor cherishes and trusts the father and son very much, and wants to stay by his side and reuse.
When Ding Yuan heard this reward, he was also overjoyed, and he thought that it would be good to be promoted to a thorn history, but he didn't expect to be promoted to the captain of the guard, and he also mastered the palace guard, and becoming a celebrity next to His Majesty the Emperor was just around the corner, so he was full of joy and received the decree of gratitude.
Lu Bu dragged the corner of his clothes behind him, Ding Yuan saw Lu Bu shaking his head imperceptibly from the corner of his eye, and suddenly thought of what Lu Bu had repeatedly warned him before he came, he couldn't stay in Luoyang, he was convinced of the words of this righteous son, and he was ruthless, so he stiffened his head, risked the crime of killing his head that angered Long Yan, knelt on the ground, and said upward: "Your Majesty, the victory of the minister this time is all thanks to the blessing of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, relying on the power of my emperor to deter Xiaoxiao, the minister does not dare to be greedy for the merit of the sky, Your Majesty is so rewarded, the minister is ashamed to be ashamed." The minister joined the army in order not to be prosperous and rich, to be promoted and make a fortune, but to protect the family and defend the country, protect my Han family and the world, and have a clear conscience after death. Therefore, the minister swore that as long as the heart of the alien race does not die for a day, and the alien race of the grassland does not die for a day, the minister will never leave the border fortress, and the minister is willing to guard the frontier for my Han Dynasty forever, and the alien race will never die, and share the worries for my emperor. Lu Bu knelt behind Ding Yuan, and when he heard Ding Yuan's generous statement, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, the old guy is the old fritter, and he said it so high-sounding and impeccable.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty listened to Ding Yuan's generous statement, and he had already been praised to the sky, and he only felt that Ding Yuan's loyalty could be learned, such a person was a real loyal and good general, and he didn't care about promotion and wealth, he looked at His Royal Highness's civil and military officials, which meant to look at people, and then look at you, except for a few honest people with a clear conscience, everyone else bowed their heads in shame.
After listening to what Ding Yuan said, Emperor Han Ling thought to himself, loyal ministers, good people, and looked at Lu Bu again: "Fengxian Aiqing, what about you?" Do you want to enter Beijing or follow Ding Yuan to stay in a bitter cold place such as Biansaina? "Actually, Emperor Han Ling asked this because he wanted to test Lu Bu and see what kind of person Lu Bu was.
Lu Bu knelt down two steps and bowed to the ground: "Back to Your Majesty, although the minister is young, but the mind of Weichen is the same as that of his father. The minister is willing to follow his father and stay in the border to kill the enemy for the country. Emperor Han Ling nodded, that's it, this father and son are really loyal ministers and good generals, how can these people in the court compete for power and power, intrigue, how can he not know that the eunuchs and relatives fight each other, but for the emperor, you must know how to control people, isn't the two parties fighting for a political balance, it is better than a single family.
It is rare that Lu Bu has a loyal and patriotic heart at such an age, and he can't snub such a meritorious minister, which chills the heart of the people of the world to serve the country.
"In ancient times, I had Huo Qu sick and weak in command, and now I have Lu Fengxian to sweep the desert, Ding Yuan, Lu Bu, these heartfelt words of the two of you moved me, as an example for my Han military and civilians, I should call on the world to learn from you two how to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country. With you and other ministers, do your best, the prosperity of the Han Dynasty is imminent, and I am worthy of my ancestors and ancestors. In this way, Ding Yuan, I ordered you to assassinate the history of the state, give you the military talisman, Shang Fang sword, and have the right to recruit soldiers. Lu Bu, a young hero, my Huo Quai, I ordered you to make the Xiongnu Zhonglang general, give the festival, the Xiongnu affairs have the right to cut first and then play, the Northern Xiongnu Right Xianwang Department and the Southern Xiongnu departments are subject to your control, the location of the system is determined by yourself, seal the Marquis of Qianhu, seal you as the Marquis of Jurong, and still reward you with the title of Xiaocai General, I hope that your father and son will work for me, guard the northern frontier for the Han Dynasty, and prevent foreign races from invading the south. Lu Bu is happy in his heart, a few words of good words, in exchange for the state assassin history, make the Hun Zhonglang general, this is the official position he wants.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" After Emperor Han Ling finished rewarding, he pretended to ask the ministers. Zhang Rang is the most observant person, where can he not see the emperor's thoughts, and has received many benefits from Ding Yuan, so he naturally jumped out the fastest to help Ding Yuan say good things.
"Back to the emperor, the old servant also felt that Lord Ding's father and son were loyal, and their hearts were eager to serve the country, and they were the most suitable to assassinate the history and make the Hun Zhonglang general, and make the best use of their talents, and I hope that the two adults will be loyal to their duties and guard the frontier for the emperor and the court." He Jin saw that his old opponent Zhang Rang expressed such a statement, and he was not willing to be left behind, so he hurriedly stepped forward to express his support for the emperor's wise decision.
