On the 10th day of August, Shao Xun was ordered to go south, searching for homeless children and teenagers all the way, and did not arrive in Handan until 15 August 15.

Liu Yu's face is not very good-looking.

Wei County Taishou Feng Song had a black face, and the soldiers and horses he had finally recruited were half killed by Shi Chaoyin in Handan City.

"Governor Liu."

"General Shao."

After the group finished saluting, Shao Xun asked, "Haven't captured Jisang yet?" ”

"I saw his whereabouts in Chiping ten days ago, and there were only more than 1,000 people under his tent, and he was forced by General Gou to die in the grass, and he should not live for a few days." Liu Yu replied.

"That being the case, but do you want a teacher? When will the reward be given? Shao Xun said, after speaking, he pointed to the thousands of sons of the Silver Spear Army and the Yamen Army standing in armor in the distance, and said, "They are all waiting to get the reward home." ”

"General Shao, this is yours." The king jumped out and said, "I have heard that you have entered the army everywhere, but you have made a lot of money by collecting grain, grass, and goods, and what reward do you want?" Don't worry about Taifu? ”

Shao Xun didn't seem to hear his noise, and only asked, "Taifu Ke has issued a military order?" ”

"No, I didn't." Liu Yu said: "But it's just a few days. There will definitely be a reward, the king has made a great contribution, this time or can be knighted, and the gold silk will be issued together. ”

According to the convention, when knighted, in addition to the food eup, there will also be a silk silk reward, which is generally equal to the number of food eups.

Xun Miao of the National Dynasty once suggested that the following princes should be dismissed, and the upper subordinates were subordinated to them - although they were not completely abolished, and occasionally people were given the position of township marquis and pavilion marquis, but in the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, there were only five cases of township marquis and only 25 cases of pavilion marquis, far less than the number of princes.

Since then, the title system has been dominated by kings (county-level) and princes (county-level), and occasionally one or two strange ones will appear.

For example, when Liu Yu heard the rumors, Gou Xi would be named a county marquis.

The county was originally given to the king, but the result was given to the prince, which can be described as wonderful.

But don't worry, the county level of the dynasty and the exclusive prince was awarded to the king of Zong, that is, the "county king", which is wonderful.

But these two are not the norm, generally speaking, the county feudal king (sometimes there will be dukes at the county level, mostly the title of the clan is reduced), the county feudal princes are normal, and the liehous rarely appear.

"Oh? Who can be knighted? Shao Xun asked with interest.

"I heard that it's the county marquis." Liu Yu said with a complicated expression.

Twenty-year-old county marquis is not uncommon, but most of them are from families, and there are very few people from poor families and commoners.

Ten years ago, Li Ju, who participated in the pacification of the Qi Wannian Rebellion, had to be sealed as the Marquis of Dongming Pavilion and 700 households after making meritorious contributions.

Sima Lun usurped his position, and even his own slaves were knighted, so that the title would not be so mysterious, and Shao Xun could be regarded as catching up with a good time.

This man!

"This marquis may be the prime minister?" Shao Xun asked again.

"Yes." Liu Yu sighed and said.

Shao Xun was overjoyed.

His grandmother's can finally have a few official positions to place talents, so it should be able to attract talents to vote, right?

"Taifu will be rewarded for his merits, and he really believes in people." Shao Xun praised.

Liu Yu was like eating a fly, very uncomfortable.

This time it's really over, I didn't consume Cheng Shao Xun, I was in a hurry, and I was tricked by Shi Chao, I don't know what Taifu will think.

Shao Xun didn't bother to care what he thought.

Sima Yue chose the latter among the official titles and titles, which was in line with his stingy character.

It doesn't matter, you don't want to give a name, but the world is like this, anti-thieves everywhere, no matter how stingy you are when employing people, you will inevitably give in a little bit after all.

This is the general trend, and no one can stop it.

Thinking of this, Shao Xun immediately called Tang Jian and asked him to bring a letter back to Beijing.

******

In the Luoyang Taiji Palace, the court meeting has just ended.

Sima Chi, the Son of Heaven, left Wang Yan, Xun Fan, Gao Guang and other courtiers to ask questions on a small scale.

Everyone first talked about a few financial matters, and then the topic turned to the Hebei Rebellion.

Ji Sang had already been caught by Gou Xi a few days ago and executed directly, and the second round of rebellion in Hebei was put down, and now it was time to reward meritorious deeds.

"Gou Xigong pushed the first, was awarded the title of Marquis of Dongping County, ate 3,000 households, and gave 3,000 horses of silk, and I have no objection. Such ministers deserve a great reward. Sima Chi said: "Another 50 pieces of gold and silverware and 10 female musicians will be given as a reward for their merits." ”

The scholars immediately drafted the edict.

Gou Xi is the assassin of Yanzhou, and Dongping County is under Yanzhou, which is at the door of the house, which is very good.

Wang Yan has no opinion, in fact, he is a little delirious now.

Yesterday, Cao Fu actually came to visit and mentioned Shao Xun's performance in the Hebei Rebellion, which made Wang Yan a little surprised.

He did know that the group of people left behind in Luoyang by the Sikong Shogunate were closely related, and Cao Fu was the main one.

But he didn't expect that Cao Shangshu, who was over seventy years old, was willing to speak for Shao Xun, which couldn't help but make him start to re-evaluate what the relationship between these people was.

Of course, things weren't as complicated as he thought.

It's just a living fossil that has experienced the Three Kingdoms era, and after being snubbed, he casually exerts a little kindness to young people who are still willing to respect him.

The relationship behind Cao Fu is extremely complicated, Wang Yan also has to respect him as a senior, and now the two belong to the same camp (Sima Yue's two military advisors before and after), Wang Yan did not shirk and agreed.

What's more, he also wants to make a deal with Shao Xun now.

For Wang Yan, he would rather make a deal with this person than with Gou Xi, who was an uncle from other states, because the latter was not a general of the forbidden army and it was difficult to influence the center of Luoyang.

Gou Xi was named a county marquis, which was set by Taifu, but he didn't specify which county.

At this time, it was agreed that receiving Dongping County would not be a disadvantage to Gou Xi.

Shao Xun was named the county marquis, and Taifu also pinched his nose and agreed, and the specific fief will be discussed next.

"Shao Xun is the second in terms of merit, he can be named a county marquis, and there are 1,400 households in the city, which is the second marquis. and gave 1,400 horses of silk. After Gao Guang finished speaking, he looked at the Son of Heaven.

Sima Chi read his eyes and said, "Give thirty pieces of gold and silverware, and four female musicians." I read Hu Wuqing's good news, and his writing was flying, and there was no lack of enthusiasm. Shao Qing is loyal to Xu Guo, I really love him, and Qing quickly chooses a good fiefdom. ”

Wang Yan was still there, and he didn't speak.

As Sima Yue's representative, if he doesn't stop it, then there really is no one to stop it.

Of course, there was no reason for him to stop it.

"Your Majesty." Xun Fan said: "Or you can choose a county in Hebei to seal it." ”

Sima Chi's face was pale, and he secretly said in his heart that Xun Taijian still remembered his old hatred. This is not good, Shao Xun is the person I like, and I have to find a way to resolve the enmity between them.

He has been making frequent moves recently, not only trying to win over Shao Xun, but also secretly contacting several other people, such as Miao Bo, the general of the forbidden army, and the Miao Yin brothers.

These two are the grandsons of Sima Fu, the king of Anping, and the younger brother of Miao, the former concubine of Sima Hao, the king of Hejian.

Both generations of father and son have served for the East China Sea King line, and they are actually retainers.

But retainers can also betray the lord, and judging from the situation of contact, there is a chance.

In this regard, Sima Chi's heart was happy.

Miao Bo and Miao Yin are retainers, Shao Xun is a general, and when they betrayed Sima Yue one by one, he wanted to see what Taifu's expression was.

Or maybe there is a huge risk in it, which may make Taifu angry, but so what?

The struggle for power does not allow for the slightest retreat.

Sima Chi loves power above all else, and he has to do it, and for that he can take great risks, and he can sacrifice everything for it.

"No." Gao Guang observed his words and looks, and saw that the Son of Heaven was unhappy, so he said: "Gou Xi can be sealed Yanzhou Dongping, Shao Xun in the battle of Feixiang, beheaded two generals, captured and killed 10,000 people, why is he so harsh?" ”

Xun Fan ignored him and only said, "But it's up to Your Majesty to decide." ”

Sima Chi's face was expressionless, and he looked at the highlights.

Gao Guang understood and said: "During the Cao Wei period, Cao Wen, the king of Handan, changed his title to the king of Luyang, and 4,400 households were sealed. To the national dynasty, the Wei clan descended to the Luyang County Gong, and 1,800 households were sealed. Now that the country is divided into counties, it can be resealed. ”

After the division of Luyang State, it became Luyang County, which was subordinate to Nanyang State.

Geographically speaking, it is located in the south of Liang County, very close to the garrison of the Yamen Army, and can be given to Shao Xun - Henan County is an important place in Gyeonggi, which is not suitable for taking out and dividing it, so it can only be found in Xiangcheng, Nanyang and other places around Liang County.

"Yes." Sima Chi nodded in agreement.

The scholars immediately began to draw up the purpose.

"Your Majesty." Gao Guang paused for a moment, and then said: "Shao Xun asked Lu Zhi, the former secretary of the middle school, to be the minister of Luyang. ”

"Overkill." Sima Chi sighed lightly and said, "Yes." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan was helpless and said, "But it's up to Your Majesty to decide." ”

He actually knew about it. When Lu Zhi became Lu Yangxiang, he was bound to refuse the job of sacrificing wine in the shogunate given by Sikong, and Shao and Lu did this, but they really didn't give face to Taifu.

But there is nothing wrong with it on the surface.

Shao Xun is Taifu's "favorite general", Lu Zhi is Taifu's favorite talent, they are all "his own people", how to say?

It's just a trivial matter, and it's not worth stumbling upon.

He wanted to meet Shao Xun a little bit now.

There was confidential news from the Taifu Shogunate that the King of the East China Sea was not in good health, which made Wang Yan a little worried, and he had to perform a precautionary stunt again and lay out in advance.

He knows his strengths and weaknesses.

As far as the military aspect is concerned, he will definitely not be able to play, there must be collaborators.

The collaborator can't be one yet, which will greatly weaken their right to speak.

It is best to have several people in charge of the forbidden army, and no one will obey anyone, and in the end, it will be decided by him Wang Yan, so as to maximize the benefits.

Shao Xun was the first person he had his eye on, and the others had to continue to investigate.

As for whether the Son of Heaven will come to fight for the forbidden army, he thinks it is possible. This is to be vigilant, and now it seems that the Son of Heaven is also interested in Shao Xun, which makes Wang Yan feel a little crisis.

A young man from a military family began to be won by the big guys, and he was really lucky.

"When did Taifu order the withdrawal of troops?" After agreeing on the matter of knighthood, Sima Chi was in a good mood and asked.

"Or in September." Xun Fan, Gao Guang and others couldn't answer this matter, so they could only be told by Wang Yan.

"After the class teacher, let Shao Qing enter the palace to meet him." Sima Chi said happily.

"Yes."

Wang Yan's face was indifferent and he didn't say anything.

The Son of Heaven did not hide it at all, and he recently appointed Liu Jun as the left servant of Shangshu to fill the vacancy after he became Sikong. I heard that he also plans to meddle in the Shangshu system and push the highlight to the position of Shangshuling.

From this and that, Wang Yan can also conclude that the Son of Heaven must also be wooing the generals of the forbidden army, and Shao Xun is just one of them.

is so anxious, can Taifu sit still in Xuchang?

If you go out and hide, do you know what the consequences will be? The lessons of the year and seven months in Xuzhou still haven't eaten enough.
