Pei Qing led the army to welcome back the Son of Heaven, drove away Cao Cao, and recovered Jizhou and Youzhou, the prestige is unparalleled for a while, the world is eye-catching, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is naturally also overjoyed, and Pei Qing is rewarded, with Pei Qing as the prime minister, the general, Feng Wenxi Hou (county marquis), and at the same time continue to increase the fiefdom, and finally Pei Qing has two thousand fiefdoms, and also has the privilege of praising and worshipping the name, entering the court, and going to the palace with the sword, which is also extremely brilliant.
However, the reward of the little emperor is actually a bit harsh, because the general and Wen Xihou have long existed, and the two thousand households of the fiefdom are really not much, and many ministers under Cao Cao in history have more than two thousand fiefs, such as Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Cao Xiu, Zang Ba, etc., all of which have exceeded the two thousand fiefdoms, and even the number of the highest favored households in the fiefs has reached 9,600 households, besides, even if not compared with these people in history, his previous fiefs have reached 1,800 households, Now it's just an increase of 200 households, so what the little emperor actually gave him was just the title of a prime minister and three privileges, but this is also all false, because he had the power to record Shangshu before, and in fact he was originally the prime minister, and those three privileges have no practical use, but the emperor's etiquette is slightly more advanced.
So from the actual analysis, the little emperor gave Pei Qing too little and too harsh, which made many generals and officials under Pei Qing's command indignant about this, and they wanted to enter the palace to ask the little emperor for an explanation, but Pei Qing stopped him.
In fact, the life of the little emperor has undergone earth-shaking changes now, since he came to Luoyang, he has really become the master of the harem, not only has a large number of food and clothing offerings every day, but also the entire palace has been replaced by his own people, he has recruited many new henchmen and eunuchs, these eunuchs are around the little emperor every day to offer slander, around the main topic is to regain power from Pei Qing.
In fact, how can these eunuchs have any good intentions? It is clear that he is looking at the power in Pei Qing's hands, his eyes are red and his ears are hot, and he wants to replace him.
At first, the little emperor categorically rejected the eunuchs' words and reprimanded them sharply, but with the eunuchs' repeated persuasion and slander of Pei Qing, especially the humiliation of the emperor when Cao Cao was in power, this made the little emperor's heart tremble, and his heart began to shake slowly.
In fact, the little emperor himself is not willing to lose power, he also wants to become a figure like Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Han He, get rid of the ministers, regain power, and at the same time secretly make plans in his heart, leaving Pei Qing with his life after seizing power in the future, which can be regarded as a tribute to Pei Qing's achievements over the years, so now he is also high-spirited in the palace and wants to do a great career.
However, the little emperor has not yet taken action, and his sister Liu Ning has already begun to complain about Pei Qing, because Liu Ning had promised that as long as Pei Qing can welcome back the Son of Heaven, he will crown Pei Qing as the Duke of An Han, although Pei Qing refused, but Liu Ning did not give up such a plan.
So Liu Ning rushed to Luoyang from Chang'an thousands of miles away, and went directly to the palace to see the little emperor.
"Sister, why are you here? Don't say a word when you come? If I had known, I would have gone outside the city to meet you in person. The little emperor suddenly saw Liu Ning, a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly said in a panic.
But seeing Liu Ning said lightly: "Your Majesty is the son of today, your status is noble, how dare this palace work for you?" โ
"Sister said with a smile, what is the relationship between us? That's my brother and sister, without my sister, how can I be where I am today? When the little emperor heard this, his face was full of discomfort, and he said with a little trepidation.
When Liu Ning heard this, her eyebrows immediately rose up, and she said sharply: "Do you still know that I am your sister?" Do you remember how I helped you? Since this is the case, then I will also talk to you well, let's not say that Pei Qing once saved my life, and I don't say that he is your brother-in-law's personal relationship, let's just say that if there is no him, you can only be a puppet by Cao Cao's side now, you can't make decisions about life and death, and your wife and concubine can't protect you, but now? You live in this exquisite palace room, enjoy fine clothes and food, and no longer have to worry about the safety of yourself and your wife and concubine being threatened, but have you ever been grateful to him? Your respect for him on the surface looks like that, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that most of those favors are what he once had, you are just a clever name, bluffing, he has made such a great achievement, you just use this reward to send away at will, you ask yourself, is your conscience eaten by dogs? You follow such geldings every day, plotting to seize his throne, vowing to be the second emperor of filial piety and filial piety, I really don't know? Is this your attitude towards heroes? โ
The little emperor has been bullied by Dong Zhuo for so many years, and then by Cao Cao, his temperament is already cowardly, and he is at a loss first, as soon as he heard Liu Ning's words, his momentum suddenly weakened. Hurriedly said: "This is all the provocative words of some villains, I didn't listen to it, to tell the truth, Brother is now thinking about how to reward his brother-in-law for such a great hero, but I don't have an idea in my heart, or Sister you will give you a detailed reference?" โ
"Hmph, villain provoking? Which villain is stirring things up? Such a villain should be killed! Liu Ning suddenly showed murderous anger, and had to ask the little emperor to point out who was provoking, but the little emperor had no choice but to point out a few of the low-level eunuchs and hand them over to Liu Ning for disposal.
Seeing this, Liu Ning immediately gritted his teeth and said: "These people are shaking their lips and tongues, sowing right and wrong, lest the world will not be chaotic, slander the heroes, and make the world chill, it is really hateful", and then ordered Wang Yi, the female official who followed him: "Drag these villains out and kill them with a cane!" โ
Wang Yi is Liu Ning's newly recruited female official, she is a Tianshui person, I heard that the princess recruited female officials, because she has a certain ability, and at the same time she is not willing to live like an ordinary woman for the rest of her life, so she went to apply, and was selected, Liu Ning saw that she had a strong personality, and she also knew how to strategize, so she asked her to replace the previous male officer, to be the Sima of the princess's mansion, and to be in charge of the military affairs in the palace.
Wang Yi didn't shirk it, he really became an officer, this time because Liu Ning went to Luoyang, she personally led the army to accompany her, and now seeing that the princess has an order, she naturally didn't dare to slack off, and immediately waved his hand and ordered dozens of warriors to drag these eunuchs out and kill them all.
Although the little emperor couldn't bear it in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything to stop him, he was afraid of this strong sister since he was a child, and he could only acquiesce like this.
After killing these eunuchs with a rod, Liu Ning said again: "Brother, you are still young, you don't know the hatefulness of these gelding dogs, when my father was in power, if there were no ten permanent servants, how could the situation of my Han reach such an uncontrollable point?" Don't blame Sister, I'm here to get rid of future troubles forever, as for Pei Qing, you can say with your heart, with his credit, you have recovered Sili, Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou Such a wide range of land, so that my Han society is stable, and the national fortune continues, should I not be worthy of this An Han Gong? โ
