Chapter 142: The Marquis
Ding Yuan walked towards the main hall and walked in front of Dong Zhuo, the two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoJust when everyone was looking at the two of them, waiting to watch the show, suddenly a shout rang out, "The Son of Heaven has arrived!" ā
As soon as the voice fell, I saw Liu Bian walking up under the protection of the two guards, and the ministers below competed to salute and pay respects, and at the same time shouted in their mouths: "Meet Your Majesty!" ā
Behind Liu Bian, Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, also followed and stood by Liu Bian's side. As for the Empress Dowager He, who was supposed to appear in the main hall to listen to the government, she has now been frightened due to excessive sadness and has stayed in the palace to rest.
"Young Master, please get up quickly! Hurry up, please! ā
Liu Yan regained his spirits, and at a glance he saw Han Yan in the crowd, shouting repeatedly.
"Ahem! Your Majesty has an order, please rise up! ā
Liu Xie, who was standing next to him, heard his brother's words, his face suddenly changed, and without waiting for the ministers to react, he hurriedly shouted loudly.
"Ahh Yeah! Ministers, please! Ministers, please! ā
Liu Bian is just a little simple, but he is not a fool, when he heard his younger brother say this, he also knew that he had made a big mistake, and quickly changed his words.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers glanced at each other, and their faces were indescribably ugly, but in front of the Son of Heaven, they still had to keep good etiquette.
However, Han Yan's back was now soaked with cold sweat. The Son of Heaven doesn't know, doesn't he understand?
The merit is higher than that of the Savior, and the sin is more than plotting! To put it simply, what about General Li Guang during the period of Emperor Wen? The northern attack on the Xiongnu is not a small credit, but he did not have a marquis before he died. Is it because the credit is not big enough? Think about Fan Hao next to Han Gaozu, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, but a person who slaughtered dogs, his military achievements were not as good as Li Guang in later generations, but by virtue of his behavior of rescuing the driver at the Hongmen banquet, he had to be named the Marquis of Wuyang. For the emperor, no matter how great the merit is, there is no greater than saving the emperor's life, and no matter how deep the crime is, there is no more heinous crime than seeking power and usurping the throne.
Now, Han Yan's credit is the Savior. What expelled the eunuchs and pacified the rebellious soldiers, these credits have nothing to do with Han Yan, but Han Yan saved the Son of Heaven, of course, and King Chen Liu.
Today, in the court, Han Yan was rarely rewarded, and the ministers were naturally extremely envious, but that's all. No matter how many rewards the ministers give, they are just jealous, but the Son of Heaven's practice of only caring about the young master and ignoring others makes the ministers' jealousy of Han Yan turn into hatred!
But at this point, it's useless to talk about anything else, Han Yan can only comfort himself with 'not being jealous is a waste'.
"Your Majesty......"
The ministers got up, and Yuan Kui took the lead and stepped forward to salute.
Next, it was Yuan Kui's performance for himself and the people close to him, Han Yan didn't listen, and he didn't like to listen, but recalled the dream he had on the carriage last night, what did it mean?
After Yuan Kui finished talking about the people close to him, he swept away Han Yan and Dong Zhuo and the others who had the same face as usual, and took a deep breath, "Your Majesty! The former general led the army to quell the chaos and made great achievements, while the young master had a trip to the Savior. Both of them deserve a big reward! The rest of the people should also have some reward......"
"Hmmm! I've thought about it. The young master has a meritorious role in rescuing the driver, entering the discussion Lang, and sealing the county marquis! ā
Without waiting for Yuan Kui to finish speaking, Liu Wei waved his hand, interrupted Yuan Kui's words, and said by himself.
As soon as Liu Yan's voice fell, the hall was like a fried pot, and there was a lot of discussion. No one thought that Liu Yan would directly add Han Yan as the Marquis of Xu County, originally everyone guessed that it was just a Pavilion Marquis at most, but now when he said this, everyone was dumbfounded.
The vassals of the Han Dynasty were similar to those of the Qin Dynasty, and they were also divided into twenty ranks, with the lowest being the public and the highest being the liehous. Among the twentieth ranks, the ninth level is the ultimate that ordinary people can achieve, and from the tenth to the eighteenth rank of knighthood is already better than the minister! The nineteenth rank is the marquis of Guannei, and the position is regarded as the secretary. And the highest-ranking liege is the same as the three dukes!
Among the liehous, they are divided into three classes, which are the pavilion marquis, the township marquis and the county marquis. The most direct difference between the three is only a slight difference in the size of the fief, but because the size of the fief is completely different, just like in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the natural identity of the fief is more noble.
"This ...... Your Majesty, isn't it a little ...... the young master's reward?"
Yuan Kui's face showed a look of embarrassment, revealing a wry smile.
"I have made up my mind, Taifu doesn't have to say anything!" Facing Yuan Kui's rebuttal, Liu Bian looked very annoyed, waved his hand, and interrupted Yuan Kui's words, "The rest of the people have their own rewards, and someone will announce it after the court meeting." If nothing happens, then disperse! ā
"Your Majesty! The minister has something to say! ā
Dong Zhuo glanced at it, took everyone's reactions, and then stepped forward and saluted.
"Huh? Is it a former general? Don't be in a hurry, I have already ordered you to be crowned the general of the chariot cavalry, and then the reward will come down. ā
Liu Yan, who had already gotten up and wanted to leave, saw that it was Dong Zhuo who spoke, sat down again, and said like an endorsement.
"Your Majesty, the minister is not asking for a reward, but has other important matters to report to Your Majesty!"
Hearing his reward, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, but he still had a serious look on his face.
"Huh? Something important? Tell me about it! ā
Perhaps infected by Dong Zhuo's serious appearance, Liu Zhuo's also began to get serious.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Last night, the lieutenant of the Chinese military academy led the army to capture the thief, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no fish that slip through the net, and now the personnel in Luoyang City are mixed, and his subordinates want to bring some of his soldiers into Luoyang to guard Luoyang, and also save some small thoughts! ā
Dong Zhuo faced Liu Yan, but his eyes kept drifting towards Yuan Kui and Yuan Shao and the others behind him, and his meaning was self-evident.
"Your Majesty! No! Foreign troops entering the city is a big taboo! ā
Seeing that Dong Zhuo was directly attacking him, Yuan Kui's face immediately changed, and he hurriedly shouted loudly.
"Shut up!" Liu Bian originally liked to be quiet, but now that Yuan Kui is making such a big noise, he naturally doesn't like it, and no matter what Yuan Kui thinks in his heart, he directly scolded loudly, and when he finished scolding Yuan Kui, he looked at Han Yan again, "Young Master, what do you think about this matter?" ā
Han Yan, who was named by Liu Yan, felt that he was being targeted by two wolves, and when he looked carefully, it was Dong Zhuo and Yuan Kui who looked at him at the same time. Lowering his head to avoid the eyes of the two, Han Yan thought about it carefully, then raised his head and said indifferently: "What the general said is reasonable, but what Taifu said is not wrong. ā
"That'...... So what to do? ā
The answer he got didn't match what he thought in his heart, Liu Wei was naturally dumbfounded, and instinctively asked.
"In this way, it is better to let the general of the Che Cai lead the army into the city, and then lead the army to be stationed in the South Palace with the lieutenant of the Chinese Army, and the two sides, one east and one west, jointly protect the safety of the palace."
For Yuan Kui and Yuan Shao, the two uncles and nephews, Han Yan is a hundred worried, and of course, he has no trust in the later general of the cavalry, so letting the two hold each other is already the best result that Han Yan can think of.
"Hmmm! It makes sense. But Nangong has just destroyed ......"
Recalling the Nangong that had been destroyed a lot because of last night's chaos, Liu Bian felt sad in his heart, after all, he had been playing there since he was a child, how could he not be sad?
