Chapter 53: The Canonization Ceremony Begins
The lengthy official queue was waiting in front of the palace gate, because it was a canonization ceremony, and the three people who were in the first position were Lu Zhi, the emperor Fu Song, and Zhu Jun, the right middle lang. He was followed by a large number of court officials, most of whom were vassals beside the three officials, bragging and patting horses.
Although the three of them are all generals in the army, they don't like these intrigues, but it is difficult to avoid these socials in the court. could only answer without a word, and there were officials on the periphery who continued to gather in front of the imperial city.
"General Huangfu, I don't know who you think has the highest credit for this battle to pacify the Yellow Turban?" An old man in a first-class official uniform gently twisted his beard and asked loudly.
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence all around. This old man is none other than Da Situ Wang Yun. This time, the pacification of the Yellow Turban, the reward is imminent, and now the three commanders of the Yellow Turban Battle are here, but he asked this, obviously wanting to separate the relationship between the three, after all, the three of them are fighting to the death on the battlefield, and it is not a good question to divide the high and low at this time.
didn't wait for Huangfu Song to answer, but Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi on the side laughed loudly, and finally Lu Zhi spoke: "Wang Situ asked this question well, and the three of us have already made a decision on this." β
Zhu Jun then said: "Yes, since the outbreak of the Yellow Turbans and the three of us divided our troops to quell the rebellion against the Yellow Turbans, one of us has been fighting on the front line. From Yangzhou to Jingzhou, and then to the Battle of Julu, all the achievements made in the major battles are also on the table, and today Wang Situ will know! β
"Hahaha! Yes, this person has the most credit, and the three of us have no opinion! Huangfu Song also chimed in.
Da Situ Wang Yun naturally has his own eyes and ears in Luoyang, of course he knows who the heat dissipation is talking about, and said lukewarmly on the side: "Hmph, how about military merits?" I don't know exactly how the reward will be......"
Listening to Wang Yun's tone, Lu Zhi and the other three did not look very good. If it weren't for the strategic plan proposed by Xu Yang in the Battle of Julu, I am afraid that the soldiers who could return triumphantly this time would be less than half. And along the way, the three of them knew that General Zhendong often took him by surprise, and he was also the first soldier in the battle, and he was not afraid of death.
I have to say that after fighting together, the three of them liked Xu Yang very much. But just like Wang Situ said, this canonization is not just a matter of military merit at the moment. For example, this Huangfu Song, if there is no huge Huangfu family behind him, it is normal for his military exploits to be buried in a number of officials.
Now, this Zhendong general is also a great military achievement, and he is also recommended by the three of them. But after all, the family is not enough, there is no prominent background, and there are Zhang Rang and others interfering in the court, I am afraid that it will not be satisfactory. However, Zhu Jun showed a touch of clarity on his face, he remembered that Xu Yang was able to be promoted to the general of Erpin Zhendong just by relying on the counterinsurgency of Yan Baihu and Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun in the north, and there must be his own way in this.
Just when several bigwigs were wrestling in front of the palace gate, Xu Yang also slowly walked from behind. Originally, Xu Yang wanted to be with the player, and Xuanyuan Chunqiu and the others also looked like they had something to say. But the two little eunuchs said that the general had a special identity, and Xu Yang was also in front of the order of the reward ceremony and entering the hall, so he was pulled to the front by the two little eunuchs.
"Lord Lu, General Huangfu, General Zhu, the officials are polite...... Xu Yang was directly pulled to the front by the little eunuch, looking at the big guys standing there, but Xu Yang only knew three people, and the other old men could only wait for a while for themselves to introduce themselves.
"General Zhendong, come early!" Lu Zhi looked at Xu Yang with a smile on his face, and the whole person was very satisfied. After all, if there is no Zhao'an Holy Decree behind, I am afraid that the breakthrough of the Yellow Turban is just around the corner, and Lu Zhi really appreciates this Zhendong general from the bottom of his heart.
On the contrary, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun on the side both nodded slightly, after all, there were many people here, and the two of them did not say much.
Wang Situ, who was on the side just now, glanced at Xu Yang coldly, and said disdainfully: "It turns out that this is the famous Zhendong general, and it is really better to be famous than to meet......
What Wang Yun said was sour, and it couldn't be sour, and the status of the officials on Rao is side was not low, but they didn't dare to say it. After all, Huangfu Song and the other three generals have publicly expressed their support for General Zhendong, and now they are still talking about Xu Yang so sourly, I am afraid that only Wang Situ of the Lord and faction dares to say this.
At this time, a little eunuch beside Xu Yang whispered in Xu Yang's ear: "General Zhendong, this person is the imperial court chief Situ Wang Yun, and he is the Zhao'an Yellow Turban he advocates." He belongs to the main peace faction of the court, the general has great military achievements, and he is good with General Huangfu and others, and the general still needs to be more wary of him......"
The little eunuch explained in a timely manner, and Xu Yang knew that this was Wang Situ in front of him when he left. There may not be many people who know about Wang Yun, but if you want to say Diao Chan's godfather, I am afraid that everyone will be very familiar with the initiator of the serial scheme. It was this lustful old man who raised a group of orphaned girls in his house, and then asked them to dance or something for his own amusement.
For Wang Yun, Xu Yang still wanted to get acquainted, after all, this old man should be the key figure of Diao Chan. But now that the old guy is on the same page with himself, where can Xu Yang endure it?
"It turned out to be Wang Situ in person, and I have heard for a long time that Wang Situ is a wonderful person with poetry and wine. I like to raise orphans in the house and train them to be singers for all adults to enjoy together, but I didn't expect that when I saw it today, it was really disrespectful to the old and lustful......" Xu Yang also shot back lightly.
This statement can make Wang Yun's face flush with anger, originally there are many officials in the Han Dynasty who like singers, and some transactions in the secret are also normal. But this can't be said on the bright side, after all, everyone is an official of the Han Dynasty, and they are all civilized people, so blatantly being told about the prostitute in the mansion is still the model of Lori, Wang Situ's face has really become redder than Second Brother Guan.
"You...... You ......" Wang Yun, who was frustrated in his weakness, said in a choked tone, "The dignified general Zhendong is actually full of foul language, which is really insulting...... Insulting Sven! β
Looking at Wang Situ's gray-haired and angry appearance, Xu Yang felt really comfortable.
"Wang Situ's words are different, I, the general of Zhendong, am a rough person, and I would not have been Wang Situ's hobby of these prostitutes and loli. Since Wang Situ and I have different hobbies, then it's better for us to stay away......" In the end, Xu Yang especially said the word "hobby" is very important, and the irony in the words is obvious.
"Vertical ...... Vertical ...... cough cough ...... "Wang Situ is good at court scheming, but where have you ever seen this kind of scene of a little hooligan scolding the street?" At that time, I was a little out of breath.
However, Xu Yang grew up in an orphanage since he was a child, and when he was a child, he often scolded children of about the same age! What is the highest level of swearing? That is, you are not angry when others scold you, you have the confidence to scold others, as long as you do these two things well, then you will definitely go further and further in the matter of scolding, and you will be alone, and eventually leave a legend......
There were also several officials on the side who rushed up to support Wang Situ, and one or two officials wanted to open their mouths to say something to Xu Yang. But when they saw the three Huangfu Song laughing on the side, these officials understood that this game was not something they could intervene in.
"General Zhendong, it turns out that you are here, it is really easy for Meng De to find!" Just after Xu Yang triumphantly walked away from Wang Situ, a hearty voice came from behind.
I saw two people, one tall and one short, one black and one white, coming from behind. These two people are not black and white, but Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Cao Cao is already a little short, and his stocky little black head gives people a sense of heaviness. And Yuan Shao is majestic and handsome, it can be said that the two of them are in stark contrast when they walk like this, maybe this is the opposition between the fate of the two!
"I've seen the three generals, Shao is a little late......" Walking closer, Yuan Shao bowed slightly and saluted.
Cao Cao on the side was much more respectful than Yuan Shao, and bowed at ninety degrees to greet the three of them; "See the three adults!"
Although Yuan Shao was a little frivolous, the three Huangfu Song obviously attached more importance to Yuan Shao. There is no other reason, Yuan Shao's family is illustrious, and the protΓ©gΓ©s of the fourth generation and the third prince are all over the world, which is not good. Moreover, the three of them are inextricably linked to the Yuan family, so it is natural for them to be closer.
As for Cao Cao, the three of them only nodded, but they didn't treat this eunuch so well. Cao Cao didn't care about this, turned to Xu Yang and said familiarly: "General Zhendong, you didn't notify me first when you came to Luoyang." I still have some acquaintances at the north gate of Luoyang, so I can take you around...... This Luoyang City is good, that's ......"
Looking at the "you know" expression on Cao Cao's face, Xu Yang naturally knew what Cao Cao was talking about. However, as soon as he finished talking about Wang Yun, he was "hooked up" by Cao Cao so positively, Xu Yang could only smile helplessly and said, "Hehe...... Next time, next time Brother Hammond ......"
Listening to Xu Yang's tone, Cao Cao thought he was shy. Hurriedly patted Xu Yang's shoulder and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" General Zhendong, who is accustomed to seeing the iron-blooded battlefield, I'm afraid he's still a chick, right? It's okay, it's okay, I'll take you with my brother, you don't have to be so embarrassed. Men, there must be such a time! β
Well, Xu Yang already understands at this time, I'm afraid that these sons and daughters of the family have these hobbies. And it is said that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are good for a little play, I am afraid that most of the games here are these places of wind and snow.
Without the vinegar smell of Wang Situ's sourness, Cao Cao and Xu Yang chatted extremely happily. Yuan Shao on the side seemed to be chatting with Huangfu Song and others very speculatively, but there were a bunch of players at the back of the team, all looking forward with envious eyes, because the closer to the front of the team, the higher the reward, which is a symbol of identity and status.
As soon as the hour arrived, the eunuch on duty shouted from inside the palace gate: "The auspicious time has come, please enter the palace to reward you!" β
The mighty procession rushed in, stretching for two or three miles, and slowly walked into the Forbidden City. On both sides were the elite of the Great Han who had long been on standby, the ninth-order Great Han Praetorian Guards, all of which were dressed in golden armor showing the royal majesty. Just from the gate of the palace to the top of the main hall, the team led by Huangfu Song walked slowly for half an hour!
This section of the road is already relatively long, and the recent days have been more ceremonies, so it is impossible to move forward quickly. Huangfu Song and the other three are also people with status, how to control the rhythm of the way of nature.
When the front team reached the main hall, the rear of the team had just passed the palace gate. I have to say, this line is too long!
Of course, not the entire team has to enter the main hall. Only a small number of people were able to enter the hall for a reward this time, and most of them came to participate in this ceremony to gain popularity. As for the player power, only a few lords such as Xu Yang and Xuanyuan Chunqiu entered the main hall.
However, when Xu Yang turned around and saw Xuanyuan Chunqiu's side, there was still a red rose standing, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the blood-colored rose actually entered the main hall, and the reward should not be low.
Next, Emperor Han Ling said some scenes very officially, which is nothing more than that everyone has worked hard in the battle with the Yellow Turban, and today the hall is not only a reward, but also a banquet or something. Moreover, outside the main hall, a large banquet of 10,000 people was specially set up, but all the officials with heads and faces in the team were given seats and feasted together with the main hall.
After Emperor Han Ling's speech, it was the beginning of the main event. A eunuch took out a scroll of holy decrees at the signal of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and read it aloud: "Zhonglang General Huangfu Song, pacified the Yellow Turban of Jingzhou, galloped to the aid of Julu, and made outstanding achievements!" Today, it is enshrined as Jizhou Muhuai Lihou, and the food is ......"
"The Emperor Fu Song thanks Lord Longen!" Huangfu Song shouted thanks, raised his hands above his head and respectfully accepted his canonization decree, his excitement was indescribable.
This time to pacify the Yellow Turban, it can be said that Huangfu Song is not only the commander of Jingzhou, but also the commander-in-chief of the entire battlefield. This time in the Battle of the Yellow Turbans, it can be said that Huangfu Song shook the sea, and with the already prominent family, he directly became the state pastor who ruled the Han Dynasty.
A burst of congratulatory voices of officials erupted in the entire hall, knowing that there are only thirteen states in the Great Han. Moreover, there are several states among these thirteen states that are under the control of the Han clan, and it can be said that a person with a foreign surname can become the state pastor of the Han Dynasty, which is definitely a glorious thing.
"Zhonglang will Zhu Jun, pacify Yangzhou Yellow Turban, gallop to aid Jingzhou, Yellow Turban rushed to various places in the first battle, contacted all parties, and was outstanding, and now he was named the Great Si Nong, and led Hanoi to guard the ......"
It was another reward will, and Zhu Jun was also excited after thanking him. The land of Hanoi is already rich, and although the gold content of this Hanoi Taishou is lower than that of Huangfu Song Jizhou, it is also envied by others.
The next reward was Lu Zhi, compared to the previous two, although Lu Zhi fought hard against the Yellow Turban Bandits in the Battle of the Giant Deer. However, there was already a matter of the party in the first place, and Huangfu Song and the others did not achieve any results before they arrived, but they only rewarded a fictitious position, but Lu Zhi also smiled at this, and it could be seen that he was really happy because there was no war.
As soon as the rewards of the three commanders ended, I saw the eunuch take out a scroll of holy decrees inlaid with gold rim and emit golden light, and a brocade robe with blue and shining light was neatly folded on the side, and a royal scepter was made.
Seeing this scene, the civil and military officials below all exploded! The people present are all old oilers of officialdom, and they can't tell that this is the main dish coming. Regardless of the style of the brocade robe, no matter what the content of the holy decree is, the three-foot-three royal scepter system alone makes everyone not calm - that is the royal authority, and if such a thing is to be rewarded, it is the existence of a prince.
You must know that since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there is only one king with a different surname - Han Xin. This is also the meaning of the founding emperor Han Gaozu, except for the original seal of Han Xin, which was forced by the situation, no one else is allowed to be crowned king. There is no king with a different surname, so what is the concept of having a royal scepter? This is the king in disguise!
In the midst of the discussion of the civil and military officials, the eunuch read out loudly: "General Zhendong sparks and moonlight, in the battle of the Yellow Turban, the enemy is expected to be the first, and the soldier is the first!" Successively suppressed the rebellion in Yangzhou and Jingzhou Yellow Turbans, conquered the entire territory of Yangzhou, exterminated the Yellow Turban millions, outwitted Shouchun and Wancheng, and the merit was designed. β
Wow!
At this moment, the holy decree made the entire hall, and even the outside of the main hall, remarkable. The officials below were all arguing about the matter, and some of them were still red-faced, as if they were angry.
"Your Majesty, this must not be done! Never! As soon as the decree was read, a thin old man hurriedly stood up and knelt on the top of the main hall and shouted.
Xu Yang saw that this was really an old acquaintance - Wang Situ! Didn't you just scold you, an old pervert? Why are you so excited that I am a champion, and you immediately stand up against it?
Emperor Han Ling above sat on the throne and asked with a flat face, "What does Wang Situ think is wrong?" β
These words were very plain, but Wang Situ, an old fox who was good at guessing the holy will, felt a touch of killing intent! This may have been a warning given to him by Emperor Han Ling, but Wang Situ, who was scolded by Xu Yang in the morning and threw face in front of his colleagues, added that he felt that he was taking advantage of it, so he directly put this warning in the back of his mind.
Kneeling respectfully on the main hall, Wang Situ took a deep breath and immediately said: "Your Majesty, since the beginning of this dynasty, a total of four champions have been canonized. These four are all meritorious people, and they are all prominent people, and they have close ties with the royal family, but General Zhendong is only from an ordinary lord in Yangzhou......"
What Wang Situ grasped was nothing more than that Xu Yang's background was not good, and he did not have a prominent background, such a person was really a wave of people who were excluded in the late Eastern Han Dynasty in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Listening to Wang Situ's words, Xu Yang smiled in his heart. When I saw myself yesterday, Zhang Rang had already counted every step that might appear in this court, don't you think someone will stand up against it? It seems that his identity as an emperor is also going to be announced......
