"You are welcome, general. If you can help, I will definitely help you!" Qiu Liju said with absolute certainty.

"Okay, then I would like to ask you to be handsome, and find a brother who is familiar with the terrain outside the Great Wall for this general. I will go to the northern part of the Great Wall myself." Lu Bu spat, and said lightly.

Time flies, winter goes and spring comes.

The Han Dynasty sent away Zhongping for three years and ushered in Zhongping for four years.

New peaches were exchanged for old talismans. Just after early spring, the first court meeting of the new year was held in the Chongde Hall in Luoyang City.

"Your Majesty, I will see you." All the ministers bowed together and greeted the emperor.

The young emperor sitting on the throne stretched out his hand and patted his mouth, yawning continuously.In recent days, I don't know what's wrong, he always feels a little powerless, and occasionally even has inexplicable irritability.

Fortunately, the good news that came two days ago made him feel much more at ease.

"My lords, two days ago, Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, received a good news. The Youzhou rebel army has completely disintegrated, the Wuhuan people surrendered, and the three counties in Liaodong returned to the Han territory. The head of the traitor Zhang Chun has also been sent to the capital. , Zhang Ju is on the run, but my Zhenbei General has led people to chase him out of the Great Wall."

When Liu Hong said these words, he was obviously quite happy.

"The ministers congratulate Your Majesty, this is due to His Majesty's heavenly power!" All the ministers greeted in unison.

Liu Hong was very satisfied with the reaction of the officials. Recalling the five rebellions last year, Zhao Ci, who was entrenched in Nanyang and caused trouble, was first killed by Jingzhou governor Wang Min; afterward, the barbarians in Wuling counties were also suppressed and surrendered by Ding Yuan; The allied forces of the Xianbei Huns not only failed to set foot in Wuyuan County, but even Shanyu Xubu Gudu Hou died on the battlefield.

Later, the Xiliang rebels were repelled by Huangfusong and Dong Zhuo, and retreated to Guanzhong again.

Now Youzhou is also completely pacified, basically it can be said that it is 'peace in the world'.

"This time Youzhou put down the rebellion, Zhenbei General Lu Bu has contributed a lot, I decided to reward him well. What do you think?" Liu Hong glanced down and asked the officials.

When the officials heard this, they all had their own calculations in their hearts.

The advising doctor Wu Fu was the first to go out, held a wat board, and after saluting, he said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that the rank of General Zhenbei is not low. Although General Lu has military exploits, his seniority in the army is still young. It is good jade, but it needs more consideration. What's more, it is the duty of a courtier to seek thieves for the country, and your Majesty's words of praise are the best rewards for the soldiers. This is my humble opinion."

The ministers nodded one after another, expressing their agreement with this opinion.

Speaking of qualifications, Lu Bu is indeed far behind.He has been in the army for less than ten years, and he has already sat in the position of General Zhenbei. He has been promoted like a rocket, and if he climbs up, he will soon be on par with court ministers like Jiuqing.

In turn, look at these ministers in the court, that one doesn't have a big beard.Among them, those in their thirties can only be regarded as young offspring.

As for Lu Bu, he is only seventy-seven this year, and has not yet reached his thirties.

"What Wu Qing's family means is that the soldiers of the three armies have made meritorious service, and they only need to praise me, and they don't need to give anything, right?" Liu Hong's tone was gloomy. He has been emperor for so many years, it is absurd A little bit, but definitely not a fool.

At the very least, Liu Hong still understands the merits and demerits.

Rewards for meritorious deeds, punishment for demerits,

"Your Majesty, Doctor Wu didn't mean that. He hoped that His Majesty could reward General Lu in a different way. For example, rewarding jewels and property, silk and satin." Dr. Guanglu Xu Xi came out and said respectfully.

Thinking about it, Liu Hong seemed to have some reason. After all, Lu Bu was still very young, and there must be plenty of opportunities for promotion in the future.If you climb to a high position too early, not only will it hurt to fall, but it will also easily breed some unnecessary extra thoughts, such as ambition.

The promotion in the barracks was temporarily waived, but Liu Hong quickly thought of a new plan. He patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Why did I forget this? Noble and Marquis. How about this, I am happy today, and I will give him the Marquis of Fengxiang, and a thousand households in the city of food."

The Marquis of the Han Dynasty can be roughly divided into four categories, County Marquis, Township Marquis, Ting Marquis, and Guannei Marquis with no euphemism.

There are many sources of obtaining marquises, and there are three common ones: First, conferring marquises due to their status, such as relatives of the royal family.Second, it has the merits of supporting or assisting the new emperor and monarch, and the effect is remarkable.The third is to be named a marquis because of military merits, such as Dong Zhuo's Marquis of Xixiang.

The Marquis of Wanhu that people often say is the Marquis of the County.

Of course, there are other reasons besides those mentioned above.

For example, among the ten permanent attendants, nine of the twelve have already been enshrined as marquises, and they have neither military exploits nor the ability to assist the emperor.What do you rely on? What you rely on is opportunism, flattery, and winning the favor of His Majesty.

When the emperor is happy, he doesn't care what cat or dog you are, and with a big wave of his hand, he will directly reward you with a marquis.

Ten permanent attendants can be named marquis, and Lu Bu, as the general of Zhenbei, is not only a confidant of the emperor, but also has solid military achievements.

The officials couldn't say anything more, mainly because of the emperor's face, they could only praise together: "Your Majesty is wise."

Liu Hong has long been able to hear cocoons like these flattering words that are nothing new.

He yawned, tiredness seemed to appear on his sickly face, and all the officials thought that the emperor was going to order to retreat.But at this time, Liu Hong pulled himself together, took a sip of the ginseng soup that was on the table, and after scanning around the courtiers in the hall, he said in a slightly solemn tone: "Besides, I have one more thing. There is something I want to tell all the gentlemen."

It was rare for the ministers to see the emperor look so serious. While pondering in their hearts, they said in unison: "Please make it clear, Your Majesty, I will wait and listen carefully."

Liu Hong, who was sitting on the throne, turned sideways and waved to the palace pillar on the right: "Xie'er, come here."

Beside the palace pillar where the two hugged each other, the old eunuch Zhang Rang bowed his head and led a five or six-year-old boy to Liu Hong.

"My son pays respects to Father Emperor."

The little boy in the black ink prince's suit arched his small palms and bowed to his father with an immature voice, but not impolitely.

"Come, come to me!"

Liu Hong hooked his palms downwards, and looked at the little boy in his eyes. There was no longer the sternness and gloomyness of the past, but only the special love of a father for his son.

The little prince was not afraid at all, he got up and walked a few steps forward when his father called him.He went all the way to the position of the emperor before standing on his feet.

Liu Hong looked at the little guy, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked this son. Whether it was facial features, nose, mouth, or temperament, he was very much like himself when he was a child.He pointed to the empty seat next to him, and the little prince knelt down obediently.

Afterwards, Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang and nodded slightly.

The latter understood, took out the imperial edict that had been drafted long ago, and read it loudly in front of the courtiers: "Prince Liu Xie, intelligent and kind-hearted, treats people with sincerity, and has won my heart. From now on, Prince Xie will He is my crown prince, the heir apparent of the Han Dynasty! I hope that you will assist me wholeheartedly to build a prosperous Han Dynasty, and I respect you!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

As soon as the edict came out, it could be said that there was thunder on the ground, and the ministers in the court almost dropped their jaws.

Regarding the establishment of the reserve, the Son of Heaven didn't reveal the slightest bit of information, and he didn't ask them to discuss it in advance, just like that... it's settled?

This is a matter related to the future national destiny of the entire Han Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Xu Xiang, who was then Situ, shouted and walked out of the courtiers.He disagreed with Liu Hong's edict.

"Your Majesty, think twice!" With a leader, all the officials behind him knelt down, begging Liu Hong to take back his order.

Although he had expected that the officials would come out to dissuade him, seeing them kneeling on the ground, Liu Hong still couldn't restrain his anger.

"I have made it clear and clear in the imperial edict. Why, do you want to resist the edict?" Liu Hong's face became more and more indifferent as the sternness in his chest came up, and he didn't have the slightest idea of ​​changing his mind.He is an autocratic monarch, and things that have been decided will not be easily changed.

"Your Majesty, the little prince is young, and he fears that it will be difficult for him to take on the important task of the country. What's more, the eldest prince has already reached the age of eleven, and has no faults. According to the rules of the ancestors, he should establish a prince and an elder. Even if he wants to establish a prince, he should also establish a prince to argue for his talents. I beg your majesty to take it back." Fate, don't make a big mistake in haste." Situ Xu began to persuade earnestly, and all the courtiers behind him nodded in agreement.

"Blunder?"

Liu Hong snorted and sneered, pointing at the kneeling officials and furiously reprimanded: "When is it your turn to point out my country! Who dares to let me take back my life and punish it as a crime of disobedience? If you drag it down, stick it!" shoot!"
