Chapter 217: The Emperor (1)

Zhou Yu of the court so blatantly refused Liu Hong's reward, which made all the civil and military officials sweat for Zhou Yu. What Son of Heaven? The Son of Heaven is sitting on countless rivers and mountains and countless people, and what he gives out is a great favor. There is a saying that thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen, and the king makes the ministers die, and the ministers have to die! For a while, the hall was quiet, and no one dared to make a sound, even if they wanted to fart, they had to hold back at this time.

"Gong Jin—I know that you are a good boy, but you must remember that my words are holy decrees and cannot be disobeyed! Father-" At this time, Liu Hong's face was very calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Your Majesty - the old slave is here!" Zhang Rang quickly got up and approached Liu Hong, and then knelt at his feet motionless.

"I will redraft a decree for me, enshrine Zhou Xian as the Pavilion of the Han River, and add a Shangshu order title; Zhou Yu, the Mu of Yangzhou, was appointed as the general of Nanyang Pavilion and Pingkou, and he could select 5,000 soldiers and horses from the Yulin Army at his disposal. Other rewards remain the same - "In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yu was promoted again, not only did the title of the marquis not change, but there was an additional title of Sanpin general, and there were 5,000 elite soldiers for him to deploy, and when it came to this, no matter how stupid the civil and military officials were, they knew that Liu Hong was not angry, and those who dared to disobey Liu Hong in their memories did not walk out of the palace alive, Zhou Yu was an exception.

"The old slave leads the decree - Your Majesty, are the other meritorious personnel rewarded together?" Zhang Rang knew that Zhou Yu's resignation just now made Liu Hong feel good, who is the richest person in the Han Dynasty now? Everyone will definitely say that it is Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, but he has always been by Liu Hong's side, and the poorest person in the world is Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven! In order to prevent officials from forming a party and endangering the community for personal gain, Liu Hong pulled up the power of his relatives to contend with him, but in history, the dictatorship of his relatives endangered the society was also everywhere, and they formed a force with these crippled eunuchs, and now they are the weakest in the three-legged power. In the Han Dynasty, there have been countless natural and man-made disasters, official salaries, and so on in many places that need to be spent, but there is not a penny in the treasury, and there is no way to come up with such a business of selling officials to make some money. This time, Liu Hongneng generously rewarded so much money and said it with gritted back molars, and Yangzhou Dajie broke the rumor that the Han Dynasty had exhausted its strength and stabilized the situation of the Han Dynasty. Zhou Yu's refusal to reward Liu Hong made Liu Hong feel that this kid was a loyal minister like his father, and he didn't want to go back to Yangzhou to enjoy life when he was young, but wanted to go to Jizhou, the nest of anti-thieves, to quell the chaos for himself, this is a real loyal minister!

"It's up to Zhou Yu to come up, and my father will reward it! If it's okay, just disperse! Liu Hong glanced at Zhang Rang, and then glanced at the generals He Jin and Sikong Yuan Feng with inquiring eyes, the actual meaning is very clear, that is, I am tired, you should be more interesting and retreat by yourself! Don't spoil my mood—

He Jin and Yuan Feng surprisingly did not oppose Liu Hong's opinion, and the other civil and military officials saw that the two bigwigs did not move, and they would not rush out stupidly to touch their heads. Zhou Yu is not in line with the etiquette law of the Han Dynasty at such a young age, but there are many things that are not in line with the etiquette law, and it is not something that these courtiers should be able to manage one by one.

Liu Hong saw that he didn't object, he stood up and walked away, and the civil and military officials knelt on the ground one after another and shouted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live, long live-"

"Lord Zhou—congratulations! How about going to the General's Mansion in a while? As soon as he arrived at the end of the class, He Jin took the lead in coming over to congratulate Zhou Yu, and he also thought that Liu Hong, the son of heaven, would be so generous this time, and directly rewarded the two marquises, which was the first time in the Han Dynasty. However, Zhou Yu is usually quite filial to himself, and there is no need to hide it at this time, as long as Zhou Yu follows into the General's Mansion, then he will be labeled as He Jin in the future.

"Wait-general, the old man is also about to feast Lord Zhou and wash the dust for Lord Zhou! There are not many young and promising young people like Lord Zhou, and they will have to help each other as officials in the same dynasty in the future! Yuan Feng stood up with a smile at this time and interrupted He Jin's words, so that Zhou Yu couldn't speak.

However, Zhou Yu was standing in the middle and waiting, he felt that Liu Hong would definitely not give him such a big reward so simply, which was equivalent to pushing himself to the cusp, and then he just patted his ass and left, which is not like an emperor's approach. He was happy to go to He Jin's invitation, but Yuan Feng also invited himself, so his intentions were a little intriguing.

"Lord Yuan-Lord Zhou is not only Yangzhou Mu now, but also General Pingkou, and he still needs to hand over 5,000 elite soldiers to General Ben, and he doesn't have time to go to the banquet!" The general didn't wait for Zhou Yu to speak, and directly and neatly mentioned that Zhou Yu rejected Yuan Feng. He Jin sneered secretly in his heart, isn't the banquet held by the Yuan family just a weasel giving a chicken a New Year's greeting and being kind? There are not a few people who have been planted in the hands of this old man over the years, and they finally met someone who looks pleasing to the eye, but they can't let this kid be harmed.

"General-Lord Zhou hasn't spoken yet, and the old man is still waiting for Lord Zhou to speak? Lord Zhou, this is a plaything for the old man, why don't you let you palm your eyes? Saying that, Yuan Feng smiled and took out a jade ruyi from his cuffs and shook it in front of Zhou Yu, his eyes full of banter.

Damn old thing - this must be Wang Yun's old thing's ghost idea, wanting to tie himself up with a woman, it seems that their beauty trick has been tried and tested, and Lu Bu after that is just more famous. Hmph - it's just that you can't think that my Zhou Yu's woman and beauty can move, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't want to startle the snake, Lao Tzu would have started to take Yu Ruyi out a long time ago. Zhou Yu smiled and reached out to take the jade Ruyi in Yuan Feng's hand, and said: "Lord Yuan-your old body can still make this thing so round, it seems that you have put a lot of effort into it, but isn't this thing just put there to see?" It's a panic to put it at home, as for the banquet you always said, why don't you send me a list later, so that I can see who will accompany me? Generally, I have a problem with eating, not to mention eating, people who are not pleasing to the eye can vomit when they look at it! As long as the adults have a banquet, the official will definitely go—"

"Good, good, good - with Lord Zhou's words, the old man will prepare! It must satisfy Lord Zhou-" Yuan Feng, who was ridiculed by Zhou Yu so much, still had a spring breeze on his face, and didn't mind what Zhou Yu said at all, he was really old and refined. Yuan Feng achieved his goal and walked out of the hall first, and the rest of the people were only He Jin and Zhou Yu who had not yet left.

"Gong Jin—then why don't you go to my mansion now? I'll go with you to the old guy's banquet tonight, even if he wants to play any tricks, he has to weigh it-" The people around him left, and He Jin immediately spoke to Zhou Yu as an elder, he really didn't want Zhou Yu and the Yuan family to have too much to do with it, even if there were a lot of unpleasantness between the two of them before, but there were only eternal interests and no eternal enemies in the officialdom.

"Thank you, General, for your love—then let's talk while we walk?" Saying that, the two of them were about to walk out of the main hall and go straight to the General's Mansion.

"See the general, Lord Zhou - Your Majesty's Imperial Study summoned Lord Zhou to go!" As soon as he got out of the main hall, he met a little eunuch who ran over to stop He Jin and Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu knew that Liu Hong still had a backup move waiting for him, and it seemed that his previous preparations were right.
