Chapter 569: Looking forward to it, worrying about it
"The general is famous all over the world, and celebrities from all over the world compete to admire. As long as the general raises his arms and shouts, the heroes and heroes will take refuge in the wind, just like the hope of the world in the Qin period. ”
Yang Ling is extremely talented, and he has a group of military generals under him, and he has a heavy army.
With such a good opportunity in front of him, he didn't even consider separating one side, but chose to go back and tie his hands, which really puzzled Lu Xun.
"I've made up my mind, don't persuade you."
In the face of Lu Xun's persuasion, Yang Ling just smiled slightly, but did not explain too much.
The night gradually deepened, Wu Zhen, as the protagonist, had already been taken down, and everyone got up and retreated.
After leaving the lobby, Gan Ning couldn't help but stop Pang Tong.
"The general is loyal and righteous, but as subordinates, can we just watch him jump into the fire pit?"
"General Xingba, don't be impulsive, lest you do something wrong with good intentions."
Pang Tong sighed and persuaded with good words,
"But the general's family is all in Xudu, if we do something, won't we harm the general?"
Gan Ning stomped his feet angrily and said with a depressed face,
"Then why don't we do anything?"
Pang Tong looked around, and then said in a low voice,
"The general has always been a thoughtful person, if His Majesty intends to harm him, how can he be arrested?"
"Don't worry, with what I know about the general, he will definitely have a backhand!"
"Let's just be restless!"
Everyone thought about it carefully and felt that Pang Tong was reasonable.
Yang Ling has always had no last resort, and he will definitely deal with it!
……
In the next few days, the affairs of General Yang Ling, as well as the local government affairs of Yangzhou, were gradually handed over to Wu Qian.
And after that night's banquet, Wu Zhen was also much more low-key, and he didn't dare to be as arrogant as before.
After all, the order Cao Pi gave him was to let him control the local situation.
If he makes too much trouble and forces Yang Ling, Gan Ning and others to rebel, then Cao Pi will definitely not let him go!
After everything was taken care of, Yang Ling embarked on the road to Xudu.
In addition to Sun Shangxiang, there were three brothers, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zhao Yun, as well as two students, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, as well as Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, the commanders of the pro-soldiers.
They set out from San'in and after arriving in Jianye, they changed to a waterway from the Yangtze River into the Misu Waterway.
After going ashore at Chaohu Lake, change to a horse-drawn carriage and head all the way to the northwest.
After a month-long journey, the group finally returned to Xudu.
Outside the city of Xudu.
As the king of a country, Cao Pi led hundreds of civil and military officials to the gate of Xudu and personally greeted Yang Ling.
"The general really lived up to my expectations and successfully pacified the Jiangdong traitors, and I am very happy!"
"Please rest assured, the general, I will not forget your merits!"
Cao Pi affectionately held Yang Ling to show his favor.
If you don't know the grievances between the two of them, you should only be loyal to the king, and you will be happy!
"Your Majesty has a good reputation, this is all under Your Majesty's command!"
Yang Ling is also pretending to be authentic.
"Let's go, let's go back to the palace and talk."
Cao Pi took Yang Ling into the car of the Son of Heaven and took the lead towards the city.
The rest of the hundred officials followed closely behind.
After a while, everyone returned to the Xudu Palace.
Cao Pi sat in the high seat, and sent someone to place a seat for Yang Ling.
"Zhongda, read the will."
Cao Pi nodded at Sima Yi.
Sima Yi stood up unhurriedly, holding a scroll of holy decrees in his hand, and began to read it aloud in public.
The content of the holy decree is also simple, and it is a reward for the meritorious people who pacified Jiangdong Middle School this time.
But anyone who does not have a knighthood starts with the nineteenth-rank Marquis of Guannai.
As for the marquis of Guannei and the liehou, they are generally promoted by one level.
What cannot be promoted is also to increase its food.
Like Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun and other generals who are close to Yang Ling, they are also promoted to the next level.
It's just the same as before, they are all famous, but they have no real power!
After rewarding the others, it was Yang Ling's turn!
Sima Yi glanced at Cao Pi and said loudly,
"The great general Yang Ling has made great contributions, worked hard and made great contributions to the Great Wei, and now the general Yang Ling is the prince of Ding, and the food has been increased to 24,000 households!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was in a commotion!
Strictly speaking, the Han Dynasty did not have the title of duke, only two kinds of princes.
At the beginning, Wang Mang usurped the world of the Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself the Duke of Anhan.
Since him, only Cao Cao has been named the Duke of Wei.
And not long after Cao Cao was named the Duke of Wei, he became the king of Wei.
Yang Ling's Duke of Dingnan, although it sounds far less noble than Cao Cao's Duke Wei, but it is also a rare honor!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
Yang Ling looked flattered and hurriedly bowed.
"There is no need to be polite, although Jiangdong is destroyed, but the world has not yet been calmed, and in the future, I still need to make the difficult public to share my worries."
Cao Pi said with a smile.
"The minister should bow down and die!"
Yang Ling said solemnly.
……
After the dinner in the palace, Yang Ling returned to his mansion with a little drunkenness.
A group of wives and concubines led by Cao Qing had been waiting in the lobby for a long time.
Seeing Yang Ling returning, they all came forward with some excitement.
"Husband......
Looking at a group of warblers and swallows, Yang Ling couldn't help but laugh and said,
"Your husband understands your concerns, do you know what your husband is looking forward to?"
When all the women heard this, they all blushed.
Cao Qing couldn't help but whisper,
"Husband-jun is messing around again, Lan'er, Yuan'er, and Yue'er are all here."
Yang Ling laughed and took turns hugging his children.
As the harem grows bigger and bigger, Cao Qing, as the main mother, also specifies strict rules.
Including her, all wives and concubines must follow the rules in order to ease up with Yang Ling.
In this way, it is also to avoid the phenomenon of jealousy.
On the first night of Yang Ling's return, he was naturally accompanied by Cao Qing, who was the main mother, and Mi Zhen, who controlled the Yang family's business.
……
After a cloud and rain, Yang Ling hugged left and right, enjoying the aftermath cigarette that Cao Qing had lit for him, and spit out the smoke ring beautifully.
The three of them chatted and talked about Cao Pi's canonization of Yang Ling as a difficult public.
"Your Majesty named her husband a duke, and it is clear that she is roasting her husband on the fire."
Yang Ling sneered.
"Why is that?"
Cao Qing said with some doubts.
"Sister, think about it carefully, since Emperor Guangwu of the previous dynasty pacified the world, how many people have been named dukes?"
Mi Zhen asked softly.
"It's just my father."
"That's right, and after the first emperor was named the Duke of Wei, he was named the King of Wei. Not long after his death, His Majesty became independent on behalf of Han. ”
Mi Zhen's beautiful face showed a sneer,
"Your Majesty named Fujun as a duke, just to make the world feel that Fujun has the heart of rebellion!"
"What? Your Majesty...... That's what you think? ”
Cao Qing was taken aback.
