In 181 A.D., the third year of Han Guanghe, August 10.

The good news of the Shengle front line and Liu Tai's edict of asking for rewards were sent to the South Palace of Luoyang by the envoys of Northern Xinjiang after the first beams of the morning sun scattered in the sky.

Chongde Hall

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live"

"Zhong Aiqing sit down" Emperor Ling, who got the good news, was full of joy at this time, his fists were clenched, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, obviously excited to the extreme.

"Xie Wuhuang Grace" The hundred officials listened to the order, returned to their own collapses one by one, looked down at the stone slabs of the main hall, and no one dared to whisper.

"Zhang Rang, let's report the victory." Emperor Ling waved his sleeves and said as he sat upright.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Rang's face was neither happy nor sad, and he took out a bamboo tube and took out the good news letter inside.

"Your Majesty, from June 25, the minister Liu Tai raised 230,000 soldiers from the north of Xinjiang out of Shuofang, straight to the Xiongnu (omitting hundreds of words), a total of 186,000 people annihilated the Southern Xiongnu army and civilians, surrendered to the Southern Xiongnu 158,000 households, 486,000 mouths, seized countless grain and grass equipment, so far the Southern Xiongnu in the prairie was really erased, Your Majesty is as powerful as the sea, wisdom is outstanding, the minister implores Your Majesty to name the two new counties for the grassland, I hope Your Majesty will allow it"

"Papahaha, good, good" Emperor Ling got up with laughter after Zhang Rang finished reading the good news, clapped his hands and exclaimed, and then glanced around at the hundred officials who were sitting down, only to see that among the hundred officials, Yuan Kui and his party were extremely worried, sighing one by one, and the appearance of a sad face, and Liu Yan, Liu Yan and other civil officials and many generals were all raising their eyebrows and puffing up, one by one, and they were very happy that Liu Tai had achieved such a big victory.

"Let's talk about it, how should I reward my Han family Qilin'er this time" Emperor Ling looked at the clear appearance in the field, a different color flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile.

As expected, Yuan Kui was the first to stand up, walked to the center of the main hall, and bowed to Emperor Ling.

"If Mrs. En, if you have something to say, just say it." Emperor Ling's face was pale, knowing that Yuan Kui would never say anything good, but he also waved his hand and allowed him to play.

Yuan Kui straightened up with a worried face, arched his hand to Emperor Ling, and said heavily: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Liu is now a very popular minister, sitting in the two states of the border with tens of millions of people, and 15.6 million soldiers and horses under his command. ”

"If Your Majesty rewards again, the old minister thinks that it is a problem to raise a tiger, and the minister dares to ask Your Majesty to remove all his duties from General Liu, immediately capture him and return to Beijing, behead him to show the public to set an example, I hope Your Majesty will give an order!!" Yuan Kui ignored Emperor Ling's increasingly ugly look, lowered his head, and shouted loudly and forcefully, word by word.

Emperor Ling closed his eyes, took a deep breath, suddenly opened his eyes and looked directly at Yuan Kui, his face was hideous, he glared at Yuan Kui angrily and shouted: "Yuan Kui, I have tolerated you many times, but you still don't repent, and you have framed the Qilin'er of the Han Dynasty many times, what do you mean?" Could it be that the royal family of the Han Dynasty is all rubbish, are you willing?? Say!! Tell me!! ”

"Wow", the hall was full of shock, and all the officials looked at Emperor Ling with horror on their faces, and Yuan Kui and his party couldn't help but tremble slightly, and their lips were blue and they looked at Yuan Kui.

"Your Majesty, Lord Taifu has no such intention, I hope Your Majesty is Shengming!!" Sikong Zhang Ji, who was good friends with Yuan Kui, couldn't help but stand up and came to the center of the main hall to bow down to Emperor Ling.

Yuan Kui was scolded by Emperor Ling, and now Zhang Ji came back to his senses when he spoke, only to see Yuan Kui's old face slightly blue, and he bowed down to Emperor Ling and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to the Han Dynasty, Liu Tai is a clansman, and he is really a thief, if he is allowed to develop again, my Han Dynasty will be destroyed in his hands for four hundred years!" ”

Cattle!! Awesome! This is everyone's thoughts on Yuan Kui at this moment, everyone can't imagine that Yuan Kui can be so strong, in the case of Emperor Ling's anger, he still dares to talk nonsense, and now more than 100 officials on the field admire Yuan Kui, even the eunuchs of Zhang Rang's party are also very admired.

"Good 1!! Very good!! Emperor Ling looked at Yuan Kui with a smile on his face, nodded with a gloomy face and said, "Yuan Kui, Yuan Kui, do you really think that you are the fourth and third duke of the Yuan family, I dare not abolish you!" ”

"Come on, depose Yuan Kui's position as the Taifu, and drive him out of Luoyang immediately, as long as I am in one day, Yuan Kui will not be allowed to enter Luoyang for the rest of my life!!" I saw the Spirit Emperor pointing at Yuan Kui, and without waiting for Yuan Kui to refute, he shouted violently, trembling slightly, and his expression was slightly crazy.

"No!!" The armor in front of the hall obeyed Emperor Ling's orders without the slightest expression, and stepped forward to suppress Yuan Kui.

"Your Majesty, Liu Tai'er is a thief who has brought disaster to the country, Your Majesty, you must not tolerate the four hundred years of chaos in my Han Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, Liu Tai, this person must die!!"

Yuan Kui did not beg for mercy, but under the custody of the armor, he frantically struggled and shouted at the Spirit Emperor standing in front of the dragon throne.

Zhang Ji watched Yuan Kui being dragged away, his mouth opened, he didn't know what to say at all, if he talked about the party, Zhang Ji was considered to be a faction in the Kanto region, but Zhang Ji was humble in the court, never participated in party disputes, although he was nominally the prime minister, the head of a hundred officials, but he did his part diligently, never fought for power and profit, so the relationship with anyone was good, in fact, Zhang Ji was also very optimistic about Liu Tai, but Liu Tai touched the interests of the Shi clan many times, and Zhang Ji was also one of the leaders of the Shi clan, So above outsiders and the court, Zhang Ji never discussed Liu Tai.

"Your Majesty, Taifu is impulsive, I hope Your Majesty will be gracious" Zhang Ji bowed to Emperor Ling helplessly.

"I hope Your Majesty will be gracious, Taifu is the pillar of the court, and he can't be wasted." Yuan Kui and the party officials, seeing that the nominal Xiangguo Zhang Ji all made a request, and one by one they accompanied the Tao.

"Hmph, there's no need to discuss it again, you have a heart of waiting, I know very well!" Emperor Ling waved his sleeves, glanced around at the hundred officials present with angry eyes, and said with a cold expression: "If Tai'er had the heart of disobedience, he would have rebelled against me a long time ago, this time Tai'er had a secret fold and I asked for a reward, only asking me to marry a few young ladies of the big clan, without mentioning a word about asking for food for officials, the northern army of millions of troops marched north, I know very well that the money and grain lost in it cannot be liquidated, but Tai'er for the sake of the court, from beginning to end, did not ask the court for a penny of food, and even took money and grain from his own hands to subsidize the court army, such a loyal, filial and filial person, If you say that he has a heart of disobedience, heaven and earth will not tolerate it, the ancestors and ancestors will not tolerate it, tens of millions of people in the world will not tolerate it, and I will not tolerate it!! ”

When the hundred officials heard Emperor Ling's words, they all had shocked expressions on their faces, and they were shocked that Liu Tai had made such a meritorious achievement, and he only had a few beautiful concubines, and he didn't care about the land and titles, and he didn't love the country and the beauty. It seems that there are many kinds of old Liu family, no wonder.

Looking at the stunned look of the hundred officials, Emperor Ling nodded slightly, and said with a slightly hesitant expression: "Tai'er doesn't live up to me, how can I live up to Tai'er?" ”

"Zhang Rang's decree!!" Emperor Ling sat back on top of the dragon collapse, closed his eyes, and commanded Zhang Rang on the side.

Zhang Rang nodded, took a piece of yellow silk from the eunuch who was waiting on the side, cleared his throat, and read aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: The two new counties in northern Xinjiang are temporarily returned to the state moderation, the former Xiongnu old king Ting Meiji gave the name Zhenyuan County, the original Xiongnu new king Ting Shengle gave the name to conquer the original county, and crowned the Tianci Marquis, Tianwei General Liu Tai as the Tianci Shenhou, and increased the food of 4,000 households.
