Chapter 22: The Ministers of the Humerus

Chapter 22 The Deyang Palace, the minister of the humerus, is the place where the emperor of the Han Dynasty usually holds court meetings, and the space is vast, and it is said to be able to accommodate 10,000 people.

On both sides of the hall stood large and small officials, civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, and in the center was the throne of the dragon chair, the current emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, sat on the throne and looked down.

A few days ago, Luoyang suddenly received six hundred miles of Yunzhong County urgently, it turned out to be a long-lost good news, it said that Yunzhong County Taishou Ding Yuan defeated the Northern Xiongnu Youxian King twice under the Yunzhong City and Yinfeng Canyon, his son Lu Bu led more than 1,000 fine horsemen into the grassland, thousands of miles to attack the Youxian Wang's court, burned Zhao Xincheng, and captured the prince of Youxian Wang, but I didn't expect that after two days, the good news came again, saying that it was outside Junji Mountain, Lu Bu actually broke 1,000 and shot the Right Xian King, and now he is escorting the prisoners, the coffin of the Right Xian King, and a large number of trophies, The prisoners who entered Beijing came.

This is a grand event of the Han Dynasty in the past hundred years, and it is also a rare victory in foreign warfare, what the emperor pursues is Weijia Hainai, Wenzhi martial arts, and the history books are famous, and now Ding Yuan, Lu Bu and his son have sent a great merit, a great victory that has not been won in a hundred years, how not to make His Majesty the Emperor excited.

This is a glory that several generations of emperors have never had since Emperor He. Especially when I heard that this Lu Bu is only eighteen years old, he is good at kung fu, his archery skills are like gods, and his reputation as a young hero is far and wide.

Therefore, after the meeting of Xuan Dingyuan's father and son, Emperor Ling paid attention to it, Shaoqing, two military generals came in from outside the palace, and the two of them followed the rules under the guidance of the eunuchs, and every word and deed was in accordance with the courtesy of the ministers, and the sword was unloaded at the entrance of the palace, and he was meticulous, and this performance won the favor of the emperor first.

"Victory is not arrogant", walking in front is a black armor general, a middle-aged man, his complexion is also dark, dignified, quite a general's style, and one step behind him, one step after another is a tall young man, ape arms and bee waist, sparse eyebrows, handsome and extraordinary, a silver helmet and silver armor, but wearing a white cloak, really a talent.

Ding Yuan father and son came to His Royal Highness, knelt down under the guidance of the eunuch of the celebrant and bowed, pressed the right hand with his left hand, raised his hand to increase his forehead, and then bowed 90 degrees, after straightening his body, his hands were eyebrow again, his knees knelt down, and he bowed slowly, his palms touched the ground, his forehead was attached to his palms, and his mouth was praised: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Then straighten up, the emperor shouted flat, only to raise his eyebrows with his hands, and after standing upright, his hands can be put down, fortunately, the eunuch has benefited and guided carefully, otherwise it will be a great crime of disrespect if something goes wrong, where will Ding Yuan and Lu Bu know these etiquette.

His Majesty the Emperor was very satisfied with the humble attitude of Ding Yuan's father and son, and the bow ceremony was also clear-sighted, which added to the impression.

"Ding Aiqing, this great victory, your father and son have made great contributions, and they will quickly explain the details in the future, so that those of us who have not been there can also feel this thrilling process." Ding Yuan heard the emperor's question, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen just did what he should do as a courtier, and did his duty as a courtier." This great victory all depends on the emperor's majesty and might, my Han Dynasty is prosperous, we invite the luck of the heavens, only to achieve a big victory, in addition to the process of the war, Weichen is far less than the dog Fengxian experienced, a lot of ideas, ideas are he came up with, rushing to Zhao Xincheng, capturing the prince of the right Xian Wang, shooting the right Xian Wang are all his own hands, the minister is brave, but also ask Your Majesty's permission, let the dog Fengxian first personally for His Majesty to solve the doubts, wouldn't it be better? ”

"Good! Good! Good! Emperor Ling happily said three good words in a row,

"What Ding Aiqing said is extremely true, such heroic deeds, it is natural that the young hero should tell it in person is the most perfect, Lu Bu, you come close." Hearing Emperor Han Ling summoning him to approach, Lu Bu hurriedly bowed his head and bent over, moved forward in small steps, and walked to the place where the eunuch was blocked, and he was about to bow down again.

"No courtesy, no courtesy, no need to be polite, straighten up, let me take a good look," but the words of dissuasion came from the Ling Emperor's dissuasion, Lu Bu complied with the order and straightened up, now the distance is no more than five zhang, Lu Bu can easily see the person sitting on the dragon chair.

A man wearing an emperor's robe and an ordinary appearance was looking at him, the real age should be twenty-seven years old Emperor Han Ling, probably because of the excessive wine color and irregular work and rest, but he looked like a forty-year-old middle-aged man, if it wasn't for the majesty of some emperors, it was really hard to believe that this was the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty.

Lu Bu didn't dare to look directly, but Emperor Ling was able to see this handsome young man clearly at close range, and the more he looked at it, the more he sighed, such a young and handsome young man, with excellent martial arts and excellent strategy, it seems that my country is steaming day by day, and heroes are coming out in large numbers.

Emperor Ling was very fond of Lu Bu, so he ordered Lu Bu to go through all the details, and Lu Bu then started from the beginning, how he ran thousands of miles away, how to capture Clumsy Chi, how to shoot the Right Xian King, but did not mention the Sun Divine Bow, nor did he say the details of the captivity of the Hun women and horse treasures, but it was still said that it was very exciting, so that Emperor Ling of Han and the ministers listened to it with fascination and admiration.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ordered someone to inspect the corpse of the King of the Right Xian, and there was an official who had sent an envoy to the Northern Xiongnu to prove that it was indeed the King of the Right Xian himself, and presented the seized gold and silver treasures, the Emperor of the Han Ling personally inspected these gold and silver jewelry, and looked closely, and couldn't help but sigh, many of the gold and silver ornaments were given to the Huns when the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu were in harmony, and now they have returned to the hands of the Han people as trophies, it is really 30 years of Hedong and 30 years of Hexi, in fact, this is what Lu Bu deliberately, he screened the treasures of the King of the Right Xian in advance, Deliberately picked out all the jewels of the past of the Han Dynasty and used them as offerings.

Lu Bu took this opportunity to offer the golden crown of the Right Sage King alone. Emperor Ling is like a treasure, he can't put it down, this is the Eastern Han Dynasty, a rare Xiongnu leader of the monarchy mark.

In the end, Emperor Ling asked people to put a group of Northern Xiongnu captives such as Humble Chi to the main hall, looking at these nomads who had become the confidants of the rulers of the Central Plains Dynasty since the pre-Qin era, and now they have become prisoners, and there was a burst of emotion, such a great monarch as Emperor Qin and Han Wu, who spent his whole life to exterminate these nomads, but he was able to capture the prince of Youxian Wang, and even shot Youxian Wang, destroying one-third of the strength of the Northern Xiongnu.

Emperor Ling of Han looked at these Hun captives, his face was pale with fright, he was panicked all day, he felt happy, and turned his head to ask Lu Bu, who was standing on the side: "Fengxian Aiqing, these Huns are all captured by you, how to deal with them, I want to hear your opinion." Lu Bu thought to himself that you can do whatever you like, why do you have to let me say it, but after thinking about it, I don't dare to slack off.

"The ministers are afraid, how to deal with these Huns, such a military event, how can the ministers dare to speak falsely?"

"Where does Aiqing say, you and your father have made such a great achievement, I will be rewarded, from today on, your father and son are both ministers of my Han Dynasty, and there are many places to rely on in the future, you don't have to be modest, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Hearing Emperor Ling's evaluation of Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, His Royal Highness and the ministers all looked at each other, and the emperor's words were true, it seems that Ding Yuan's father and son are soaring in this dynasty, and those who are active are already thinking about how to get closer to these two, and the eunuchs who hold the power, as well as the relatives and the faction, also have their own thoughts.

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others thought that these two people knew everything and knew how to be filial, and Ding Yuan had already arrived in Beijing, at the suggestion of Lu Bu, and sent Li Su to give generous gifts to the ten permanent servants who held great power, especially Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who were the leaders, and bought a mansion in Luoyang to give to the two.

Zhang Rang and the others were very satisfied, and the eunuchs had no choice but to hold the power in their hands and these things outside their bodies. thought that the two of them would soar in the future and could be used as Austrian aid, and the two had no foundation in the court, so they were not afraid that they would seize the power in the hands of their own people.

The faction of foreign relatives is headed by the uncle He Jin and He Miao brothers, at this time their power is still very limited, He Jin has not yet become a general, and he is only a master craftsman and a general in Yulin, and he controls part of the Yulin army, but his sister has been made the queen, and is deeply loved by Emperor Ling, and the He brothers are also becoming more and more powerful, especially the ministers of the court, and the gate lords are more willing to collude with their relatives, and they are like fire and water with the eunuchs.

They also hope to get the support of the local powerful factions, but now some of the assassins and taishou in the Kanto states are under the eunuchs, and some people are hanging high on their own business, and they really don't have much power to rely on, so they urgently need fresh blood to join.
