Imperial Palace, Chongde Hall.

Although the little emperor has been transferred to Chang'an, the palace in Luoyang still has a large number of palace maids and eunuchs, as well as guards on duty.

On weekdays, Dong Zhuo also discussed court politics with courtiers here.

However, since Dong Zhuo was injured, he has gradually fallen lonely here.

Today, there is a lot of noise in the Chongde Palace, and the excitement is more than in the past.

Most of the courtiers were full of joy and told their friends about their excitement. There are also people with panicked faces, and their eyes are rolling. Or with a pensive look on his face, he looked at the courtiers in the hall with different expressions, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Lieutenant Sili, General Zhonglang, Lieutenant Ting, and Marquis of Changping have arrived."

Just when the ministers were talking, the shrill voice of the little eunuch sounded outside the main hall.

When the ministers heard this, they immediately looked solemn and stopped talking.

When Li Hao appeared in front of the main hall, the civil and military officials bowed down one after another and said, "Meet Lu Tingwei." ”

Li Hao walked in the center of the main hall, his eyes slightly turned to look at the Chinese military officials who bowed down around him, and a special emotion suddenly appeared in his heart.

The first time he went to court, he still met the little emperor in white, and few people paid attention to him at that time.

The second time he went to court, he was awarded the title of lieutenant.

At that time, for the civil and military officials, the only thing that Li Hao deserved their attention was the identity of Lu Bu's younger brother.

Other than that, there's nothing else to look at.

Now less than a year later, when Li Hao returned to this hall again, the feeling was completely different from what he had ever felt before.

This time, he is no longer a dispensable foil, nor is he valued by the aura of others.

This time, he will be the protagonist of the temple and the new helmsman of this vast empire!

Li Hao quickly came back to his senses, with a gentle smile on his face, and also returned the salute, saying, "You are polite, Hao deserves such a great gift." ”

"Tingwei eradicated the traitor Dong Zhuo and returned the world to prosperity. If Tingwei is worthy of it, no one in the world can accept this gift. Liu Shan's voice was like thunder, and he said loudly.

As Li Hao's first batch of subordinates, he was also entrusted with important tasks after Li Hao developed.

Now Liu Shan is no longer engaged in the former Sili Lieutenant Department, but Tingweiping, who has a rank of 600 stones. Ting Weiping doesn't seem to be high, but if you look at the court, Tai Shiling and Jun Cheng are only at this level.

For Liu Shan, Ting Weiping is already a high-ranking official who he dared not imagine before.

Because of this, he is also the most loyal to Li Hao.

At this time, Liu Shan saw that Li Hao eliminated Dong Zhuo and became a great hero for the recovery of the Han Dynasty, and he would soon be able to reach the peak of his life, and his heart was extremely excited.

Seventeen-year-old Tingwei will even be able to go one step further soon.

Liu Shan didn't dare to imagine what Li Hao's future would be, the third prince or a higher existence.

But he knows that Li Hao's future will not stop at Jiuqing.

And as long as Li Hao climbs higher, he can follow Li Hao's footsteps towards a brighter future.

There was no shortage of wise men among the courtiers, and soon someone followed: "The court lieutenant has worked hard and made great achievements, and he deserves this gift from us." ”

"If it weren't for Tingwei, the people of the world wouldn't know when they would be able to see Lang Lang Qiankun."

There are civil and military officials in the court who want to slap their beards, and naturally there are ministers who are not used to Li Hao's young pride.

An old minister with gray hair walked out, glared at everyone with cold eyebrows and dissatisfied, and scolded: "The big thing is not settled, how can you judge the merit." ”

When the people heard this, they followed the prestige.

Sikong Zhang Wen!

When they saw the person who spoke, they immediately understood who it was and how not to give Li Hao face.

Sikong is the only official title of the three dukes, and it is even higher than Jiuqing.

And Sikong Zhang Wen was a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he had served in extremely honorable positions such as Taiwei, so his status in the court was extremely high. When the civil and military officials saw Zhang Wen come forward to scold, where did they dare to continue to make noise.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, someone stood up and said: "Sikong didn't mean to scold the monarchs, it's just that although the Dong thief is under control, there has not been a public execution, and there are nearly 200,000 Xiliang troops outside. ”

"Yes, yes, I want to celebrate, but we also have to wait until we execute the Dong thief and pacify the chaos of the Xiliang Army before we talk about the merits."

Zhang Wen is a figure who has been in the court for decades, and he also understands that what he said just now is a bit heavy, and he has invisibly offended many people.

Now someone has paved the steps for him, and he naturally walks down.

Zhang Wen smiled and said slowly: "The old man confirmed this intention, although we have won a good victory now. However, if the internal troubles have not been eliminated and the external enemies have not been eliminated, how can we be complacent. ”

"Zhang Sikong taught a lesson."

"Hey, I was careless."

As soon as Zhang Wen's words fell, many courtiers immediately respectfully cheered.

Li Hao stood aside, smiling at the scene in front of him, without any words.

Zhang Wen received the support of the courtiers, and his face couldn't help but feel a little more proud. He stroked his beard and looked at Li Hao, and said gently: "This time I was able to reproduce the universe, and I made great contributions to the festival." But the closer we get to success, the less we can afford to be careless. ”

Liu Shan's face was not good, and the other courtiers who took refuge in Li Hao were also slightly ugly.

In their opinion, the success of this military coup basically relied on Li Hao's lieutenant Si Li and Zhang Liao's merge state army. If there was no Li Hao's existence, how could they have their current laughter.

And Zhang Sikong's attitude as if teaching the younger generation a lesson really made many people unhappy, and Li Hao felt unworthy.

Li Hao didn't show too much anger, smiled and arched his hand: "The lesson is that Zhijie has been taught. ”

Zhang Sikong saw Li Hao bowing his head, thinking that he had controlled the overall situation, and became more and more complacent.

However, he was not completely carried away by the victory, and stroked his beard and smiled: "Zhijie is modest, the old man is at Zhijie's age, and he can only fight cocks and dogs, look for flowers and ask willows." ”

The courtiers smiled kindly, and said with a smile: "What Zhang Sikong said is extremely true, a strange man like Lu Tingwei in the world can only be seen once in hundreds of years. ”

Li Hao is neither humble nor arrogant, and always maintains an indifferent smile.

He had already expected the current scene.

In the final analysis, the reason why these people were attached to him at the beginning was nothing more than that Dong Zhuo put too much pressure on them. Now that Dong Zhuo has been controlled, it is completely understandable that these people have other ideas.

Zhang Sikong said suddenly: "Although we have controlled Dong Thief at the moment, His Majesty has not returned from Chang'an, but someone needs to go to Chang'an to answer him, and by the way, report such a great joy to His Majesty." ”

Zhang Sikong said, deliberately showing embarrassment, and hesitated: "If you want to say that this rebellion, Zhijie is the most suitable person to welcome back Your Majesty."

But at present, there is still trouble in the city, and there are nearly 200,000 Xiliang troops outside. Now, except for Zhijie, who has the ability to dispatch troops and horses from all sides, others are afraid that they do not have this kind of prestige. If Zhijie leaves Luoyang, I am worried that there will be another accident in the city. ”

Li Hao sneered in his heart, did he really come?

It's really a dog that can't change eating, and the internal and external troubles haven't been solved yet, so they can't wait to grab the credit, ridiculous old thing.

But that's fine, I don't have to do it myself.

Li Hao sneered in his heart, with the young emperor Liu Wei in his hand, how could he need the puppet emperor in Chang'an City!

These people think they can grab credit, but they don't know that they are digging a grave for themselves!

When they welcomed back the puppet emperor, they didn't know what the expression of the young emperor Liu Wei would be.

Li Hao was disdainful in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.

He smiled and said, "What Sikong said is very true. In my opinion, it is better for Sikong to lead part of the Chinese military forces to Chang'an to greet His Majesty, and I will stay in Luoyang to lead the overall situation, okay? ”

Zhang Wen looked at Li Hao unexpectedly, he didn't expect him to agree so neatly.

Although Zhang Wen felt a little strange, in the face of Li Hao's monstrous contributions, he would not be stupid enough to refuse. He had a teachable expression, his smiling old face turned into a brilliant chrysanthemum, and he laughed and said: "Okay, good, what Zhijie said is very true, and the old man can only be ashamed." ”

The other courtiers had different expressions, some looked at Zhang Wen with envy, some looked at Li Hao with pity, or felt unfair for him, and some were already thinking about how to hug Zhang Wen's thighs.

And Liu Shan and others have very bad eyes.

Only Li Hao, with a gentle smile, is like a big boy next door.

It's just that no one knows what it means behind this smile.
