Chapter 47: Rewarding the Four Generals
Chapter 47 Reward the Four Generals
Wang Yi helped Wei Ji, the two of them were not theoretical, but they were pulled by Pei Qian and others:
"Adults are angry, adults are angry."
"Brother Wei, don't worry! Brother Wei, don't worry! ”
Yang Yan saw that the three of them came out to show off a wave, and finally said: "What's wrong with us, we have traveled thousands of miles to protect Your Majesty and do our duty, if you don't leave, I will let people beat you out." ”
Although everyone was unwilling, under the leadership of Pei Qian, Wang Yi Wei was pulled out of the Wei Mansion.
"Damn! These four villains are so abominable that they should be punished for their pretense of the Son of Heaven. ”
As soon as everyone returned to the Taishou Mansion, they were all scolding, and they jumped like thunder.
Now that the four bandits have just entered Anyi City, they are so arrogant and reckless, and they will pay it back in the future, and they can't help but feel sad.
"Hey! The situation of the prince is even worse than we expected! The Son of Heaven was placed under house arrest as soon as he entered the city, and he had to find a way to get in touch with His Majesty. Pei Qian was still calm and persuaded from time to time.
Liu Xie was in the Wei family's study in the backyard, and while selecting books, he asked Jia Xu, "How is it!" Li Le blocked Wang Yi Wei from visiting them. ”
Jia Xu replied: "Your Majesty, Wang Yi and the others have been blocked back by Li Le, and they don't dare to return to this mansion for the Wei family, but they should ask Your Majesty to discuss tomorrow, hold a court meeting to show that the world is coming, set up the capital Anyi, and prepare sacrifices, and finally take the opportunity to complain to Your Majesty, and want to return to the Wei family's century-old wealth and money." ”
Liu Xie took out a book, which was full of annotations made by the Wei family after reading it, read a sentence, and then praised: "The Wei family is really a cultivator, these annotations have the style of a monk, I think this Wei Ji should be a person with real talent and hard work, and it is okay for him to go back, but with Li Le's greed, he is reluctant to think about it." ”
"Forget it! That's it! I'll sacrifice a little more, you go and call Li Le and the four over, and I want to talk to them. Liu Xie put down the scroll in his hand and said, Jia Xu bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty! There shouldn't be a need to pass it on, they will come to Your Majesty first. ”
Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "That's right!" They bragged about the cowhide, but they didn't get dirty, so they had to ask me for it, and you said I wanted to give it. ”
Jia Xu shook his head: "Of course you can't give it, now is the time of non-war, how can the four generals gain a foothold, Your Majesty can refuse them because of their lack of meritorious service." ”
"Good!" Liu Xie nodded, and at this time Zhou Gang came in and reported: "Your Majesty! Yang Cheng and others ask to see! ”
Liu Xie walked out and sat down at the head of the writing seat: "Let them come in, how about Jia Aiqing grinding ink for me." ”
"No!"
Jia Xu stepped forward, took the grinding stone, took a little water, and began to slowly grind back and forth in the inkstone.
Soon Yang Cheng and the four of them came in, and when they saw that the Son of Heaven had spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, they looked very elegant, and they all said: "Wait for Yang Cheng, Han Xian, Hu Cai, and Li Le to meet Your Majesty." ”
Liu Xie raised his head, glanced at it lightly, and said, "The four of you came just in time, I was about to write a holy decree to seal you in person, and now Jia Aiqing is about to grind it, and I will be able to write it later." ”
"Thank you for Your Majesty's reward, I don't know how Your Majesty will reward me."
When the four of them heard that Liu Xie was going to add a reward, they were immediately overjoyed, the little emperor really didn't rob in vain, and he knew how to be grateful.
"Hmmm! Originally, I couldn't tell you before my decree was written and announced, but the four of you have the feeling of fleeing with me, and you have the grace to protect me, so it doesn't hurt to tell you, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, your merit should be set as the third class.
General Yang Cheng was promoted to General Wei, as for the other three generals, you are all from the Baibo Valley, serve the imperial court, brave and good at fighting, I will take a special number with white characters, General Han Xian worships General White Bear, General Hu Cai worships General White Tiger, General Li Le worships General White Leopard. Liu Xie said solemnly.
Yang Feng frowned slightly, although General Wei was one of the four major generals, he was not listed, and it was not much different from the general he wanted.
Han Xian and the four of them were also a little dissatisfied, what about the hussar general, and the chariot general?
How can the white bear, the white tiger, and the white leopard be miscellaneous generals, Han Xian bumped into Hu Cai, and Hu Cai said: "Your Majesty! How can we be miscellaneous generals, we are waiting to protect Your Majesty to the death, Your Majesty escaped, shouldn't we reward our chariot generals and hussar generals? ”
Liu Xie's face was not good when he heard this, and his eyes stared at Hu Cai: "What are you anxious about, there are many opportunities to make meritorious contributions in the future, and now the three of you have taken a title that has never been seen before and no one has come after, this is a titled general, and others will not want it in the future, now worship you as a titled general, and it is not better to make meritorious contributions and continue to be promoted, surprise step by step, step by step, and at the same time, you can also block the mouth of the crowd and prevent you from being criticized by others." ”
General Liu Xie picked up the pen and threw it away angrily and said: "The law of the Han Dynasty is no battle and there are no four generals, there are only 100,000 soldiers without generals, there are only 50,000 soldiers without chariots, there are only 30,000 soldiers without hussars, and there are only 20,000 soldiers without guards. ”
The four of them were stunned.
What is the law of the Han Dynasty, they don't know anything, they don't understand it at all, listening to the meaning of the Son of Heaven, it seems to be a reason, and they are a little confused.
Seeing that they were frightened, Liu Xie pouted and played with his arms, and said with his arms folded on his chest: "Besides, I am not such a stingy person, and I didn't get you a special General Wei, or not." ”
After speaking, Liu Xie put his face to the side, looking like I am a child, I am stingy, what do you like.
Although the emperor invited Anyi, there were still hundreds of soldiers around him, and there were Wang Yi and other foreign ministers from Ganhedong, so they didn't dare to be too presumptuous to Liu Xie.
can't do whatever you want like Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan.
As Liu Xie said, can you continue to make meritorious contributions and be promoted to knighthood in the future?
The Son of Heaven is in hand, so why worry about this, so he doesn't want to make a fuss, and half-coaxed and half-agreed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
"Is this good?" Liu Xie sat up straight, picked up the pen and moistened the ink, and then wrote the holy decree, and at the same time continued to say in his mouth: "Although it is not a war now, it is not necessary to fight a war to make meritorious contributions.
I have heard that there are hundreds of thousands of people in your Baibo Valley, and if these people can move into the county towns around Anyi and register and make a register, it will be a great achievement to increase the number of households. ”
Han Xian and the three of them glanced at each other, Baibo Valley was their old nest, how could they easily move out, the hundreds of thousands of people there were their subordinates who said it sounded good, and slaves who worked for them, providing supplies and soldiers.
Then Hu Cai said: "Your Majesty! Now in the middle of winter, the weather is cold, they have moved out and have no house to live in, and they will wait for the next year, and they will come out without land to cultivate, otherwise they will not flee into the mountains that year. ”
Hu Cai's words are half-true.
It is true that there is no land planting, because the land is in the hands of the three major families, which occupies eight or nine floors, and the rest is in the hands of the small families.
However, the people who entered the Baibo Valley were not all the original Hedong residents, but most of them fled from various states after the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
