Not long after, Sun Shao led the imperial envoy in, and to Lu An's surprise, this envoy was not a eunuch, but a middle-aged scribe with a beard, but also had an elegant bearing.

"General Lu, under Liu Zhi, I am here by the order of the Son of Heaven!" As soon as the middle-aged scribe came in, he bowed to Lu An.

"Lord Liu, don't be like this, as the messenger of the Son of Heaven, your lord is like the Son of Heaven himself, how dare you accept the Lord? Gift! Lu An returned the salute very humbly.

"General Lu is really as humble and polite as rumored, the Son of Heaven finally didn't misunderstand you!" Seeing that Lu An was quite respectful to him, the messenger of the Son of Heaven, Liu Zhi showed a smile of satisfaction on his face, and then became very serious: "Wuling is too guarded by Lu An to receive the order!" ”

"The minister takes the order!" Lu An knelt down on one knee and said solemnly.

"In the spring and April of the first year of Xingping, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said: Wuling is too guarded by Lu'an, for the official to have a way, for the benefit of one party, is the great weapon of the country, specially added to the Yangzhou pastor, specially approved the right to open the government freely, and then received the rank of general of Zhengdong!" Liu Zhi took out a piece of yellow brocade from his arms and read it out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu An received the holy decree, in addition to joy in his heart, but he felt a little incredible, although it is now a troubled era, and the official position is not as valuable as the prosperous era, but he did not expect that Emperor Han Xian in addition to giving him the Yangzhou pastoral seal he wanted, but also set up a general Zhengdong whose gold content is definitely not lower than that of the state pastor, you must know that the general Zhengdong is second only to the position of the general among the military attachés, and it is slightly inferior to the third duke, and this is a real power military position, which can allow him to expand his armaments justifiably, at this point, It's better than the state pastor.

"Is General Lu wondering, why did the Son of Heaven give you the post of General Zhengdong in addition to the Yangzhou Mu you asked for?" Liu Zhi seemed to see through Lu An's thoughts and asked with a smile.

"Don't hide it from your lordship, I'm really confused!" Lu An did not deny it, nodded and said.

"General Lu, do you know that the Son of Heaven has only made you a Yangzhou pastor, but he has been blocked by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!" Liu Zhi did not answer this question, but asked again.

"It's embarrassing for Your Majesty!" Lu An felt guilty on his face, but he was very disdainful in his heart, this was something he had long expected, most of those ministers in the court and central government were from wealthy families, could they not make a fuss about it, but this could only disgust him at most, as long as Emperor Han Xian had a little knowledge, he would not refuse his appearance.

Now in this troubled era, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty himself is like a puppet in the hands of Li Dao Guo Yan, without any real power, let alone control the world, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, basically whoever fights is who, but for the sake of righteousness, they will ask the court for a corresponding official position, if the court does not give, although there is some impact on the princes, but the princes can completely show their official positions, still dominate one side, but in this way, it has greatly damaged the majesty of the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty at this time does not have any strength to suppress, So no matter who it is, even if it is a bandit, as long as you control one side and ask Emperor Han Xian for a corresponding official position, there is basically no problem.

"Hey, this kind of embarrassment is nothing to Your Majesty, what really makes Your Majesty sad is the endless chaos of ministers and thieves, there were Dong Zhuo in the past, and now there are two thieves in Li Dao and Guo Yan, firmly controlling the government, for the sake of the trouble, even Your Majesty himself was put under house arrest in the deep palace by the two thieves, and what is even more hateful is that there are so many assassins and state pastors in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, but few people are willing to raise troops to serve the king." Liu Zhi sighed.

"I only hate that my Lu An is not strong, and he can't save His Majesty from fire and water!" Lu An seemed to be moved, and his eyes were red.

"It's good that General Lu has this heart, Your Majesty often tells us in private that the princes of the world in this world, the only ones who are truly loyal to the Han are Cao Mengde and General Lu, and now Your Majesty often regrets that he couldn't stand up and punish the Dong thief with you that day, otherwise he would never have come to this point!" Liu Zhi sighed.

"It's a pity that at that time, I, Lu An, had nothing but force, otherwise I would definitely be able to rescue Your Majesty from the clutches of the Dong thief!" Lu An recalled the past, to be honest, if Emperor Han Xian really stood up to preside over the situation and led the civil and military officials to help him when he was chasing Dong Zhuo that day, it would be difficult for the Han Dynasty to really turn over, but unfortunately now that the times have changed, the Han Dynasty has been irretrievable.

"Forget it, the past will not be mentioned anymore, and now Your Majesty is trying to overcome public opinion, not only sealing General Lu as the pastor of Yangzhou, but also adding the rank of General Zhengdong, I hope that the general can work hard for the revival of the Han family in the future, don't let Your Majesty down!" Liu Zhi changed the topic and instructed.

"Don't worry, my lord, I, Lu An, will definitely do my best for the Han family and die!" Lu An was very "firm" and said. Now, he finally understands why Emperor Han Xian will appoint him an extra general to conquer the east, which obviously regards him as the last straw of the Han Dynasty, it is estimated that Cao Cao is also one, but this is destined to be the wishful thinking of Emperor Han Xian, and now, whether it is him or Cao Cao, they will no longer fight for the Han Dynasty, or the goal of their struggle is no longer the revival of the Han Dynasty.

"Okay, what a good one who has done his best to die, General Lu is worthy of being a famous general with both civil and military skills, Your Majesty can be assisted by a courtier like General Lu, and the revival of the Han Dynasty is expected!" Liu Zhi was obviously moved by Lu An's words, and a smile appeared on his face that could not be concealed, he couldn't wait to return to Chang'an and tell the emperor that even after a few years, Lu Xuantong was still the Lu Xuantong who dared to kill Dong thieves for the sake of the country, and was the hope for the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty.

、、

Liu Zhi rested in Jiangdong for two days, and then hurriedly returned to Chang'an with a lot of treasures sent by Lu An, and after sending Liu Zhi away, the first thing Lu An did was to raise all the core civil and military forces under his command, for example, Gan Ning was named General Yingyang, although it was only a miscellaneous general, but it was finally justified, and it could be regarded as having a regular number when he went out to lead troops to fight in the future, otherwise he was just a small Sima of other departments, but he led tens of thousands of troops, which is really difficult to manage.

And after a period of fermentation, Lu An was named Yangzhou Mu and Zhengdong General by the imperial court and the matter of the whole Jiangdong was also completely spread to the entire Jiangdong range, which made Jiangdong's large and small families more cautious, and even many small families directly took the initiative to come to the door to express their willingness to accept Lu An's new policy and adapt the family, which is the benefit of a formal official position. is to have the support of the imperial court, the name is justified, and it is completely justified in reason, so that others have no way to blame
