Chapter 64 Liu Qingfeng Champion General(1/2)
The Xianbei army in Bingzhou is pressing down on the border, and the two imperial courts in Yanzhou are competing for territory. They are fighting fiercely. The prefectures and counties in various places have begun to disobey the imperial orders. This is the problem that the Luoyang imperial court is facing now.
This is also Dong Zhuo’s intuitive feeling.
In the court hall, there was a lot of quarrels over the war in Yanzhou every day. Because the attack could not be taken for a long time, some people even proposed to replace Xu Rong.
Dong Zhuo naturally did not understand the rhetoric of civil servants. He was tired of listening to it, so he did not go to court and hid in his mansion to have some peace and quiet.
Until the military report from Bingzhou came.
King Bohai went to Bingzhou, and the Xianbei army retreated after hearing the news.
What a win!
Dong Zhuo read the military newspaper and was so impressed that the King of Bohai took action, one against the other. This time he severely slapped those who talked too much against King Bohai.
He retreated the foreign army without spending a single soldier. What a majesty and courage the King of Bohai has!
"Tian Jing, prepare your car quickly, we are going to court!"
Tian Jing, the chief registrar, was still curious as to why the general, who had not gone to court for several days, was in the mood today.
"Mr. Dong, there are no important matters to discuss today, so there is no need to go in person." Tian Jing explained.
"They have nothing to do, but we have something to do! King Bohai slapped those pedantic people in the face, so we are going to give them a slap and enjoy ourselves! Hahaha! Go quickly!"
"Okay!"
Tian Jing left quickly.
Above the court, a minister was talking about the drought this year, and suggested that His Majesty open an altar to worship the sky and pray for rain. Otherwise, I am afraid that food production will be greatly reduced and many people will go hungry.
Suddenly, a group of civil servants agreed with each other, while the military officers looked at the impassioned civil servants as if nothing had happened.
Without Dong Zhuo here, almost no one discussed martial arts. Even if they did, Dong Zhuo was not here, but in the end it was all in vain.
"The general has arrived!"
Suddenly there was an announcement outside the hall.
When Dong Zhuo came, the civil and military officials suddenly woke up and consciously shut their mouths, while the military officers began to get excited, it was their turn.
Although Dong Zhuo was fat and stout, he still walked vigorously and quickly arrived in front of the palace.
"Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo, goes to see you."
"General, please rise!" Liu Xie responded very skillfully.
Dong Zhuo stood up, looked left and right at the civil and military ministers, raised his voice, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, Bingzhou Army Report, after King Bohai took office as Bingzhou Mu, not a single soldier was wasted, and the Xianbei army was panicked after hearing his reputation.
Withdraw the troops, and the danger of merging the state has been resolved!"
Dong Zhuo's words immediately caused an uproar.
Can the Xianbei army be forced to retreat without losing a single soldier? This kind of thing is almost unheard of.
You must know that the border areas of the Han Dynasty have been invaded by foreign tribes for a long time, especially in Bingzhou. During the time of the first emperor, Wuyuan County and Yanmen County had garrisoned troops for many years. However, all of this seemed to have changed after King Bohai became the prefect of Yanmen County.
.
"The King of Bohai has a famous town on the border. It is really a blessing for the great Han Dynasty! A blessing for His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, King Bohai has made great achievements again. He should be highly rewarded and rewarded to the three armies to strengthen the might of our Han army!"
The clever civil servants began to show their merits, and asking for credit for King Bohai was a big favor.
"Your Majesty, the general has made meritorious service by recommending the King of Bohai, and should be rewarded!" Jia Xu also made a rare speech in the court.
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He thought Wen He was better and thought about himself everywhere.
Then Jia Xu's words aroused a wave of followers and echoes.
They were more willing to make friends with Dong Zhuo than Liu Qing.
When Liu Xie heard this, he was immediately troubled. King Bohai was already the king, how could he give him a reward? He couldn't help but look sideways at the curtain.
The Empress Dowager behind the curtain was also lost in thought at this time, thinking that this King of Bohai was really amazing, he could actually achieve this step.
Different from other people's praise, what she felt was pressure, which made him a little dazed.
"The Empress Dowager?" Liu Xie asked softly.
Empress Dowager Dong recovered from her daze and said: "The King of Bohai has become a great minister. Your Majesty can reward you with some gold, silver, jewels, beauties and so on."
After hearing this, Liu Xie said to the ministers: "Do you have any suggestions regarding rewards?"
The ministers looked at each other in confusion. On one side was the King of Bohai and on the other was Bingzhou Mu. How should they be granted the title?
At this time, Lieutenant Yang Biao came forward and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Bohai is a young and talented man who uses troops like a god and is always invincible. He has the demeanor of a champion. Why not make him a champion general?"
"What the Lieutenant said is timely, and we agree with it!" Dong Zhuo looked at Yang Biao and said with a smile.
"Yes." The Empress Dowager responded softly, because this was undoubtedly just an honorary title and had no authority.
Liu Xie nodded gracefully and organized his words.
"Liu Qing, King of Bohai, shocked the Xianbei army and protected the stability of our northern border. He was named a champion general and gave him a holiday ax. He also received a bounty of ten thousand and a thousand pieces of silk from the treasury..." Liu Xie paused again. Woman, reward
What should a woman say?
So he tilted his head again and asked about the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Dong replied softly: "Your Majesty will either reward you with hundreds of thousands of slaves, or grant you a marriage. The King of Bohai has a noble status. If you want to grant a marriage, the woman must be born above the nine ministers."
Liu Xie understood, but thought he didn't understand it all. Fortunately, he was a smart man, so he asked the ministers: "I would like to grant another marriage to King Bohai. Sirs, do you have a daughter with a hairpin in your family?"
As soon as Liu Xie said these words, the ministers discussed in an uproar and focused their attention on the three princes and nine ministers. They were curious, envious, and jealous. There was no doubt that this was an excellent opportunity to make friends with the King of Bohai.
Yang Biao sighed, it was a pity that he did not have a daughter, and then he began to wonder if there was a suitable person among the Yang family in Hongnong.
Even Dong Zhuo couldn't help but think of his granddaughter Dong Bai, but it was a pity that Xiaobai was too young! His Majesty said that he should be old enough to do so.
Attendant Wang Yun lowered his head and said nothing, thinking about it. He actually thought of Diao Chan, but his current official position was too low.
The ministers were talking a lot, but two people looked strange and remained silent. One was Cai Yong and the other was Xun Shuang.
They both have one thing in common: they are both Liu Qing's father-in-law.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were bluffing and bluffing, and what they wanted to do was to steal their son-in-law!
The two of them looked at each other. They were two people who were busy working on their own affairs and almost didn't care about government affairs. However, today's court meeting involved private matters.
Xun Shuang thought for a while and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, ministers! The King of Bohai has appointed Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Yong, the imperial censor, as his queen. If I think that I can't recommend her to her, it's better not to recommend her."
Xun Shuang's words made almost half of the people shut up. They had heard of Cai Yan's reputation. Not only was he beautiful, but his literary talents could put many scholars to shame.
When Yang Biao heard this, he glared angrily. This sentence almost blocked his chances. He had never heard of any particularly outstanding women in his clan. As the former prefect of Yingchuan, how could he not know about Xun Shuang?
His daughter is also married to Liu Qing, and he also knows that Xun Shuang's daughter is not as good as Cai Zhaoji, but now he comes to make such a request, and he curses in his heart, "Shameless old thing!"
When Xun Shuang said something, Cai Yong, who was originally a little transparent, suddenly became the focus of attention. Only then did everyone know that the original King and Queen of Bohai was actually Cai Yong's daughter!
I had the illusion that a big boss was actually in front of me!
After much back and forth, there was no conclusion. Dong Zhuo thought for a while and decided to just give up. These two conditions were too difficult to meet.
What the Sangong and Jiuqing lack is not a daughter, but a daughter who is both talented, beautiful, and capable.
Looking around the world, how many women are there?
When the topic ended, Cai Yong gave a grateful smile to Xun Shuang, the terminator.
There was no escaping the marriage granted by the emperor, and the woman who was granted the marriage usually had a very high status, and would even be named a princess. It was a chance to fly to the branches and become a phoenix, but Xun Shuang ruined it with one word.
In the end, I had to decide on the name of the general and the financial rewards.
After the court was over, Wang Yun was casually putting on his shoes outside the palace. Unknowingly, he stuffed his right foot into his left shoe. Should such a perfect opportunity be ruined?
In the past, he offended the eunuchs and almost died several times. Yuan Wei took him out of prison many times and protected him.
The kindness of saving a life should be repaid with life.
Originally, he wanted to join the Ruyang court, but he received a summons from Dong Zhuo, so he took advantage of his plan and came to Luoyang to act as an internal agent of the Yuan family. However, so far, it has been of no use.
But this time, he instinctively sensed a big opportunity.
In Luoyang, Wang Yun learned that the Bohai King had a close relationship with Dong Zhuo. This time Liu Qing was appointed Bingzhou Mu, and it was Dong Zhuo who voluntarily gave up the Bingzhou Mu and strongly recommended the Bohai King to take over.
It would be of great significance if Diao Chan could be sent to the Bohai Queen's Palace.
Wang Yun was so lost in thought that he was stunned on the spot.
Dong Zhuo happened to be passing by and looked at the staggering Wang Yun with interest.
"Master, why are you so distracted? You are wearing the wrong shoes." Dong Zhuo said with a smile.
"General!" Wang Yun quickly greeted him and changed his shoes in a panic.
"What difficulties does Master have?" Dong Zhuo asked.
Dong Zhuo still valued and trusted Wang Yun very much. After all, his reputation as a tough eunuch suited Dong Zhuo very well.
Wang Yun was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he would have an opportunity so soon, so he sighed: "I have a daughter who is extremely intelligent. Her country is beautiful and fragrant. She hides in the clouds when she sees the bright moon. She has admired the King of Bohai for a long time. Now,
I heard that His Majesty wanted to marry the King of Bohai, so I thought there was a chance, but now I want the position of Jiuqing, but I am a lowly official and do not have the qualifications, alas..."
