Early the next morning, Qingzhou Zhiguo Yuan took many chapters, escorted by one hundred elites of the guard battalion, took a carriage to carry many exquisite gifts to the north of the naval base Tatecheng, transferred to two naval army paddle ships, and rushed to Luoyang against the water.

Liu Cun did not stop at all, and continued to hold secret meetings with Gongsun Pei, Guan Ning, Ji Wei, Lu Pei, Lu Jiu and other confidants and civil and military personnel, preparing to launch a merciless attack on the most arrogant Beihai Kingdom and those family landlords in Anle County.

Without waiting for Liu Cun and his subordinate Wenwu to finish formulating the suppression plan, the captain of the Linzi City Gate hurriedly came to report: "The envoy sent by the emperor has arrived at Shili Pavilion in the west of the city, the honor guard is grand, the forbidden army is nearly 100, and the forbidden army commander who came in advance informed that the holy decree has arrived!" ”

Guan Ning immediately reminded Liu Cun that it was expected that the emperor would fulfill his promise and the holy decree to enshrine Liu Cun as the Marquis of Jieting had arrived, otherwise it would not be so big.

Liu Cun hurriedly ordered the incense case to be put down, quickly finished changing clothes, and led his subordinates to go out to the west gate to greet the angel, and everyone was happy to see that the angel who delivered the decree this time was still the emperor's close attendant and eunuch, with a smile on his face and a dignified appearance of Zhang Dun.

The grand honor guard of the angels, shook the city of Linzi, tens of thousands of people poured out of their homes, bathed in the vast grace of heaven that had not been seen for many years, from the west gate to the city in the city on both sides of the street, all the people who burned incense and worshipped, the grand occasion was unprecedentedly extremely touching.

Zhang Dun, who was in the luxury car, was quite moved, and turned to Liu Cun, who was riding a horse outside the car, and sighed: "Our family has been on patrol for 12 years, and we have traveled all over the nine states of our Han Dynasty, and it is the first time to see such a grand and touching scene. Packed with social ji! ”

In front of the main hall of the Assassin's Mansion, the ceremony of announcing the decree was particularly solemn. Liu Cun and hundreds of civil and military officials knelt together, facing the honor guard that symbolized the emperor's grace. Respectfully listen to Zhang Dun read aloud the holy decree of General Dangkou and Liu Cun, the assassin of Qingzhou, as the Marquis of Jieting.

After Zhang Dun finished reading out, the voices of hundreds of people shouting long live sounded, and after a while, the earth-shattering cheers of the soldiers and civilians of the whole city sounded outside the high wall.

Zhang Dun handed over the holy decree to Liu Cun, and helped Liu Cun, who was thanking him again, to help him up: "Lord Zijian, listen to this cheer that resounded throughout the world, and all the people supported it!" ”

This is the gratitude and support of the Qingzhou military and people to the saint, and the honor won by Wechen is not only for Wechen in the eyes of the people of Qingzhou. It is also the grace of God that has given me millions of people in Qingzhou! Liu Cun is now more and more able to speak, and he is becoming more sensitive and cautious.

Zhang Dun solemnly explained: "The adults have misunderstood the meaning of our family, what kind of person the adults are are our family knows, but the adults are right, our family has also heard it, and we have seen it along the way, this is indeed the gratitude and cheers of the people of Qingzhou to the emperor's grace, although the emperor gave grace to the adults, but in the minds of the people." They all think that the emperor values Qingzhou and sees millions of Qingzhou people, and everyone feels that they have also received grace and glory. That's why there is such a thunderous roar! ”

"Your Excellency is incisive!" Liu Cun is not light, not heavy, a sycophant.

Zhang Dun laughed and served tea at the invitation of Liu Cun and the civil and military officials.

After drinking half a cup of fragrant tea, Zhang Dun proposed to visit Liu Cun's new mansion. Liu Cun readily agreed and walked to the middle garden with Zhang Dun. Walking through the spacious and elegant courtyard, which is not luxurious, a group of civil and military officers accompanied several retinue eunuchs and lieutenants of the forbidden army to follow from afar.

Zhang Dun was very interested. Without any tiredness, he talked to Liu Cun about the war in Jizhou like an old friend, and soon informed him of another important reason for the trip: "There is another matter that is not in the holy decree, and it cannot be conveyed in public. ”

"Do as your lord commands." Liu Cun realized that the matter was likely to be quite important.

Zhang Dun nodded with satisfaction, and whispered as he walked, his face and eyes were full of solemnity: "The emperor instructed that when he saw Liu Aiqing, he said to him: I accidentally learned that Aiqing was the sixth generation grandson of King Dongping, and I was surprised and happy in my heart, and I sighed!" Over the years, I have received a lot of good things from Aiqing, and I have also levied on Aiqing every year, and I have been endowed with it every year, which has made Aiqing suffer a lot of grievances, and I am a little sorry, Zhang Dun, you accompany Liu Aiqing for me, and tell Liu Aiqing that I really want to see him as a royal brother, if the war between Jizhou and Qingyan is not so tight, let's come to Luoyang, I not only want to see if Liu Aiqing looks like the rumors outside, but also have a lot to say to him. ”

Liu Cun's eyes were flushed, no matter what he had said about Liu Hong before, the real words conveyed at this moment made Liu Cun grateful: "The minister accepts the order!" ”

Zhang Dun breathed a sigh of relief and patted Liu Cun's arm with concern: "My lord is loyal, our family can understand it!" You're welcome, this is the truth, our family has seen many imperial relatives, princes and ministers, and feudal officials, just like Lord Zijian's gratitude from the bottom of his heart! The emperor didn't misunderstand Lord Zijian. ”

Liu Cun nodded silently, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and approached Zhang Dun slightly as he walked, and asked, "My lord, is the saint in good spirits now?" ”

Zhang Dun glanced at Liu Cun appreciatively, and told in a low voice: "It is precisely because it is not good that the emperor is so anxious to let our family come to pass the decree, otherwise we should wait until Jizhou and Qingyan are completely stable, and then I will announce that the Lord will enter the court to discuss meritorious deeds, alas! To say something that should be slapped, the emperor's energy is getting weaker and weaker, and he has always been in a trance for the past two months, and he even asked our family twice whether his mausoleum is in place? Not a good sign! ”

Liu Cun was very surprised: "In this case, let's leave for Luoyang in three days, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Dun immediately understood why Liu Cun had to wait for three days, nodded and said with satisfaction: "Just bring the contribution of next spring and this year's together, let the saint be happy, the saint likes the set of gold and jade porcelain tea set fired by Lord Zijian himself, and he loves it every time he uses it, and once he joked to Lord Cai Yong, who couldn't get his wish when he wanted to touch it, if you can get me a set back, I will let you get back to the addiction of Sangong, haha!" ”

Liu Cun couldn't help but smile, and after a few words of laughter, he told Zhang Dun the truth about his recommendation of Cangci to serve as the Taishou of the Plains and Xu Sheng to serve as the Governor of the Plains, and asked Zhang Dun to help him analyze whether he could get the emperor's approval.

Zhang Dun immediately reciprocated Liu Cun's trust, shook Liu Cun's hand heavily, and said quietly as he walked: "It's not that our family doesn't know the importance of the matter, with the adult's current reputation and status, as well as the identity of the imperial prince who was soon informed of the world by the Zongzheng Mansion, as well as the emperor's fierce loyalty to the court and outstanding achievements over the years, the lord only needs to open his mouth, not to mention the plain is too guarded, it is not difficult to get the title of the general of Zhendong and then a prince or something!" The emperor and the ministers of the court are now as clear as a mirror, and they have a very high evaluation of the adults, and more than one important minister spoke up at the court meeting, saying that if there were no nearly one billion dollars and taxes handed over to the emperor and the court in recent years, if there were no adults in Langya and Qingzhou who spared no effort to accept the displaced people to open up the wasteland to save themselves, and without the huge assistance of the adults to Jizhou and Yanzhou, the current situation may be worse than the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the first year of Zhongping! ”

Zhang Dun said this, and looked at Liu Cun, who shook his head slightly: "My lord, don't think that the government and the opposition are chaotic and the world is turbulent, and the emperor and the court can't see Lord Zijian's hard work and silent efforts. Lord Huang Wan, who has a good relationship with adults, is one of them, and the emperor is by no means as absurd as those who slander with ill intentions, on the contrary, the emperor can see it more clearly than anyone else, but my Han has too many shortcomings, and the emperor has more than enough strength, adults must not lose confidence in the emperor and the court, the emperor still has to rely on the adults. ”

"Master Xie's teachings! Liu Cun knew how to do it. Liu Cun's two sentences show his heart.

Zhang Dun nodded appreciatively: "That's good!" Let's do it, let's not go, get a good glass of wine to drink, I want the kind of burning knife in your army, our family likes that taste, although I bought a bottle of Langya tribute wine in Luoyang City, fragrant and sweet, unparalleled in the world, but our family still likes the simple and unpretentious but evocative burning knife in the Langya army. ”

Liu Cun was slightly surprised: "I knew that adults liked it, and I would have asked someone to send it to you." ”

Zhang Dun was happy: "Then let's say it, our family is not greedy, it would be good to get two altars a month in the future." ”

"How can the two altars work? In this way, in addition to the burning knives in the army, other kinds of wine should also be sent two cases a month, otherwise I am worried that you will scold me for being petty when you turn around. Liu Cun said with a smile.

Zhang Dun laughed after hearing this, took Liu Cun's hand and walked back together, and the two who had put down their worries talked while walking, laughing easily and calmly.

The few entourage eunuchs and lieutenants of the forbidden army who followed behind were very surprised, and couldn't help but look at each other, they had never seen Zhang Dun, who was deeply favored by the emperor, have such a natural, cordial and unscrupulous side, and they were unconsciously stunned.
