Chapter 22 Youzhou Good News
On this day, a person and a rider appeared on the bustling and lively streets of Luoyang. "Youzhou Emergency... Everyone got out of the way, looking at the cavalry dissatisfied. But this scene reminds people of the emergency report half a year ago. Everyone speculated whether there was something wrong with Zhang Chun rushing out again, or maybe Wuhuan went south again. After all, in their hearts, there is only this for the battle report in Youzhou.
The cavalry's battle report and gift list were quickly handed over to Liu Hong by Xiaohuangmen.
Liu Hong held the battle report in his hand and didn't open it for a long time, then turned his head to look at Zhang Rang, "Father, do you say that Uncle Huang is good news or bad news this time?" ”
"This... Liu Youzhou is the minister of my Han humerus, and the governance of Youzhou is well organized, and the minister thinks that it must be good news. Zhang Rang said with some uncertainty.
Liu Hong closed the battle report again and sighed. handed the battle report to Zhang Rang, "Let my father, you should read it to me." ”
"No." Zhang Rang opened the battle report and read it for a while, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
Liu Hong saw Zhang Rang's expression and knew that it was a good thing, so he snatched the battle report and read it carefully.
"Good, good, good. He is worthy of being a captive general who was sealed by my relatives!! Liu Hong's excited heart couldn't be calmed down for a long time. Over the years, the Han has been suppressed by Wuhuan so much, but he has no power to fight back. And this time, Yao Jie not only defeated Zhang Chun's rebels, captured Zhang Ju alive, but also destroyed 5,000 Wuhuan cavalry, which not only gave Liu Hong a sigh of relief, but also earned a lot of light on his face. "Let the father, pass on my order, and gather all the officials to the court."
"No."
It didn't take long for all the officials of Dahan to arrive. And Liu Hong sat directly above.
Liu Hong looked at the people below and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there is good news from Youzhou, a big victory over Wuhuan, which Aiqing is willing to read it to everyone for me?" ”
The officials below were shocked when they heard the good news. I didn't expect that Yao Jie, who had been ridiculed by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military as relying on eunuchs to ascend to the throne, could win more with less, break Wuhuan, and also eliminate Zhang Chun's rebels who had plagued the Han for more than a year.
Look at me, look at you, and no one will answer.
Liu Hong looked at the so-called pillars below, smiled disdainfully, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, didn't you impeach Zhang Rang for accepting Yao Jie's money before?" Don't you think Yao Jie is just an incompetent? What now? Let's talk about how to reward it. ”
"Your Majesty, can you let Weichen see the battle report?" Yuan Feng stepped forward and said.
"What, is Yuan Aiqing questioning whether this war report is true? This is a battle report written by Uncle Huang himself, you can take it and take a look. Liu Hong threw the battle report on the ground and said.
"Wechen doesn't dare." Yuan Feng didn't dare to say anything, and then picked up the battle report and read it. He is the representative of the family, you must know that the Yuan family is the fourth and third dukes, because the way the Han recruits talents is to show filial piety, so there are not a few officials who have a relationship with the Yuan family outside, it can be said that the family monopolizes the position of the imperial court, of course, this is also related to the fact that the children of the poor family can rarely read books, after all, the family still monopolizes knowledge.
Yuan Feng has not looked down on the children of the Hanmen, at this time most of the five schools of the Northern Army have been mastered by the family, and later Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty set up the eighth captain of the West Garden in order to break the family's control of the army, because Yao Jie was born in the Hanmen, plus he relied on Zhang Rang to take the position, so Yuan Feng has always been very disdainful of Yao Jie, and he was indispensable to the people who slandered Yao Jie at that time, and now this battle report came, Yuan Feng subconsciously thought that it was impossible, but soon he also realized his gaffe, and hurriedly asked Liu Hong for his guilt.
After reading the battle report, Yuan Feng found that the war report was indeed written by Liu Yu himself, and the official seal on it could not be faked, Yuan Feng said decisively: "It is the old minister who has no eyes, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive you." ”
Liu Hong also knew that it was not the time to move this old guy, so he directly ignored him and said: "Yao Jie has made a great contribution, how to reward him." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that Yao Jie be appointed as the Taishou of Beiping, so that he could fight against Wuhuan." A eunuch and a minister.
"Your Majesty, Yao Jie just wiped out thousands of Wuhuan cavalry and 20,000 rebels, and the credit is not enough to be promoted to Taishou, and secondly, Yao Jie was originally just a small general who begged for capture, but now he jumped directly to Taishou, and my Han has never had such a precedent." The minister of Yuan Fengyi's department objected.
Seeing the ministers below arguing, Liu Hong felt a headache and said angrily: "Above the court, the Qing and the others are so noisy, what kind of system." ”
All the ministers were silent and did not dare to speak.
"Chuan Zhen's will" named Yao Jie as the general of the four-rank Pingyu Zhonglang, led the post of Beiping Taishou, rewarded a thousand gold, ten brocade cannons, and 5,000 war horses. Liu Hong was already quite optimistic about Yao Jie, and Yao Jie was a son of a poor family, and he would definitely be the vanguard he used to deal with the family in the future, so he gave such a high reward at one time.
"Your Majesty, no." Yuan Feng still wanted to object, but Liu Hong said: "It's so decided." Then he turned and walked away.
Now it's not the Ming Dynasty, the emperor is the monopoly of power, the emperor has made a decision, what else can the ministers below say, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, the minister can make suggestions, but the emperor can't be scolded, the Han Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty, don't kill the doctor.
The holy decree was quickly passed to Yao Jie's hands, looking at the emperor's reward, Yao Jie was also surprised, originally thought that there was Zhang Rang, and he couldn't run away with a four-rank general, but he didn't expect to add a Beiping Taishou, which is equivalent to having his own territory, look at the eighteenth road princes to ask for Dong, in addition to being too guarded, like Liu Bei, they can only follow Gongsun Zhan.
This time it was not only Yao Jie who got the reward, but also Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan was named Guangyang Taishou, and then it was gone, after all, he didn't have Yao Jie's connections, and his results in the battle report were not as shocking as Yao Jie, so he was only sealed as a Taishou, but his reward was normal, and it was abnormal like Yao Jie.
As for Liu Yu, the reward he received was only some money and the like, after all, his official position was high enough that he could not be promoted again.
