Chapter 50: Rewarding the Great Meritorious Emperor and Recruiting to Beijing

Quiet! After Zhang Rang finished reading the battle report, the court suddenly became very quiet. The civil and military officials looked at Zhang Rang like clay sculptures, as if hoping that he would suddenly say that the battle report just now was a joke, while Liu Hong was also stunned and didn't know.

Unconsciously, he sat up straight. Zhang Rang was very satisfied with this situation, because in his heart, both Liu Yan and Liu Zhang belonged to the emperor!

"Father! Are you kidding me?" Liu Hong was surprised and actually brought out the title he used to address Zhang Rang in the palace. However, at this time, no one paid attention to such minutiae!

Zhang Rang glanced at the ministers and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how dare I deceive the emperor? It is a serious crime to deceive the emperor, and you will be beheaded!"

"Yes! Deceiving the emperor!" Yuan Wei seemed to have reacted, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, please punish Liu Yan for the crime of deceiving the emperor! How old is Liu Zhang this year? Leading troops to the Karasuma Palace? Your Majesty, please

Send someone to investigate to prevent Xiaoxiao from faking military exploits and deceiving the court!"

Just when Yuan Wei was talking nonsense, a little Huangmen came in and stared at Zhang Rang anxiously. Zhang Rang was standing next to the emperor, but it was difficult to pass. If it were normal, Liu Hong wouldn't care what the little Huangmen said, but today he

As soon as he heard the good news, Yuan Wei jumped out to dampen his interest, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Zhang Rang, what does that little Huangmen want to say? Let him come out and repay him! What does he look like when he's trembling? How did you train him!" Liu Hong couldn't bear to take out his temper on Yuan Wei. Zhang Rang and Xiao

Huangmen was unlucky as the emperor's domestic slave.

"Yes!" Zhang Rang looked at the little Huangmen and sighed in his heart: "Little brat, I can only blame you for your bad luck!"

Although Xiaohuangmen usually had contact with the emperor, it was obvious now that the emperor was not in a good mood. He knelt down in front of the emperor tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty! There is an envoy from Youzhou... sent

...Send it..."

"Xuan!" Liu Hong frowned when he saw Xiao Huangmen's stumbling words, but he was a little happy to hear that there was an envoy from Youzhou. Although the Youzhou war report just now was not complete, he would rather believe it was true.

. Even if Wuwan is not as good as the Xiongnu, except for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which emperor in the Han Dynasty has achieved such a great victory in the war against foreigners? Before Xiao Huangmen finished speaking, Liu Hong couldn't wait!

"Hey! This little brat is really lucky!" Zhang Rang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the envoy from Youzhou is so tired, I'm worried..."

"What are you worried about? My hero is working hard outside, why can't I bear this dust?" Liu Hong glanced at Zhang Rang and said, "I have something to ask him, so as not to make some people suspicious and chill me.

People’s hearts!”

"Yes!" Zhang Rang understood what the emperor meant. In fact, when he said this, he wanted to slap Yuan Wei in the mouth. Zhang Rang received Liu Hong's order and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree to send an envoy to Youzhou!"

The envoy sent by Youzhou, Shi Shiran, walked into the hall while the song was being sung. When he saw the emperor, he immediately saluted and said: "I, Shi, see your majesty!" It turned out that Liu Yan was worried that the pawn could not explain clearly, so he asked Shi A to go to the capital.

He went there and gave gifts to the emperor, empress, Zhang Rang and others. Of course, there was also Shi A's master Wang Yue.

"It turns out it's you!" Liu Hong was very happy. He was the one who arranged Shi A next to Liu Zhang. Naturally, he is very familiar with Shi A. Liu Hong asked, "I wonder why the emperor sent you here?"

"Your Majesty, by the orders of Mr. Liu, the Governor of Youzhou, and the Young Master, the Governor of Youzhou, I am sending you a New Year's Day tribute gift for Your Majesty!" Shi A smiled and said, "This is the gift list from Mr. Liu, the Governor of Youzhou, and it is also the spoils of war for the Young Master!"

"So, is it true that Liu Zhang led his troops into the Karasuma Palace?" Liu Hong stared at Shi A, fearing that he would say otherwise.

Shi A smiled and said: "Your Majesty, although the young master is very domineering to some people, he is loyal to your majesty. How could he do anything to deceive the emperor? Five years ago, the young master arrived in Youzhou and began to preside over military training.

Later, I met the gunsmith Tong Yuan on the streets of Youzhou. The young master studied with Tong Yuan for five years. The first thing he did when he came back was to attack Wuwan. I was also lucky enough to visit Wuhuan Mountain!"

When Liu Hong heard this, Long Xin was overjoyed, and he asked with a smile: "In that case, what gift did the emperor's brother give me? Let's make an agreement first, if it is not a good thing, I will not accept it!"

"Your Majesty, what can a foreigner like Karasuma have? It's nothing more than livestock such as pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, and horses!" Shi A smiled and said: "This is the gift list from the governor, please accept it!"

"Zhang Rang! Go and get it!" Liu Hong was a little excited. This is so important! Although this battle has nothing to do with Liu Hong, as the emperor of the dynasty, having such a great victory will be recorded in the annals of history.

Zhang Rang took the gift list and handed it to Liu Hong. It was indeed full of cattle, sheep and horses, but the number made Liu Hong's eyes widen. These were all money! Liu Hong excitedly handed the gift list to Zhang Rang and said: "

Read this gift list and let those who judge a gentleman with a villain's heart know how generous the emperor's uncle and emperor's brother are, and save them from being slandered all the time!"

"Yes!" Zhang Rang was stunned again after taking the gift list. However, he quickly recovered after being shocked by the battle report. After calming down his excitement, Zhang Rang read: "The governor of Youzhou pays tribute to... Jianniu

Fifteen thousand heads, 20,000 high-quality war horses, 40,000 sheep, large and small captives, a thousand horse slaves, a number of other various Karasuma utensils, three sides of the Karasuma King's large banner! In addition, there are three BMWs presented to Your Majesty!"

Shocked! Even the King Wu Wan Dahu has three sides. Yuan Wei dare not say that Liu Yan sewed it himself. But with such a great achievement, wouldn't Liu Zhang want to shake things up? Suddenly, Yuan Wei smiled sinisterly! Great achievements are blessings and disasters.

, How can a person with great achievements overshadow his master have a bad end? So Yuan Wei stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the governor of Youzhou has made such merits and deserves a big reward, so I made him a hussar general. Jihou, I don't know what your majesty is doing."

What do you think?"

Others didn't know Yuan Wei's plan, but Zhang Rang understood. Yuan Wei wanted to flatter Liu Zhang and kill him! Seeing that Liu Hong was a little moved, Zhang Rang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you can't!"

Liu Hong still trusted Zhang Rang. He knew that Zhang Rang's objection was definitely not intended to go against Liu Zhang, because Zhang Rang often spoke well of Liu Yan in front of him. Basically, all the gold and silver bribed by Liu Yan were taken by Zhang Rang.

Rang took it out to honor Liu Hong. However, he still had to do it to save face. Liu Hong asked somewhat displeasedly: "Zhang Rang, do you think Liu Zhang's merits are not enough for the title mentioned by the Grand Lieutenant, or do you think I just listened to him?"

"I don't dare!" Zhang Rang and Liu Hong have been cooperating for so long, so they naturally understand each other's thoughts. Zhang Rang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Zhang is only thirteen years old. If he suddenly reaches a high position, wouldn't his foundation be unstable? Besides,

, Master Liu sent troops without permission, which is not a small crime. After all, although he has the position of Habayashiro, he does not have the right to command an army of 20,000. His Majesty cannot give him such a high reward even if his merits are reduced to crime!"

Zhang Rang emphasized the age of thirteen, and Liu Hong suddenly reacted. Indeed, Liu Zhang is only thirteen years old this year. If he becomes a hussar general now, and if he performs meritorious service in the future, what will the emperor reward him with? But so

Liu Hong would not be able to live without a heavy reward for his great achievements. In a dilemma, Liu Hong asked with a smile: "What does Zhang Qing think Liu Zhang should be granted?"

Zhang Rang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, what you reward is not important. What is important is your kindness. I heard that the young master has been practicing martial arts abroad all year round and is dedicated to serving the country. How about your majesty arrange a marriage for him. As for the official position, it is enough.

I don't care if I think about the young master! It's a pity that the young master is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, otherwise, wouldn't it be better for your majesty to recruit him as your son-in-law!" Although in ancient times, there was a saying of a close relationship, there are also people with the same surname who do not get married.

When Zhang Rang said this, Liu Hong also felt a little pity.

Zhang Rang and Liu Hong were happy, but Yuan Wei was not. Yuan Wei stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the ancients often said that a sage king should have clear rewards and punishments. If you follow what Mr. Zhang said and just take a casual look at Liu Zhang's great achievements,

I'm afraid Mr. Liu Zhang won't have any objections, but it has chilled the hearts of loyal ministers and warriors in the world!"

"Why does this bastard always have trouble with me!" Liu Hong cursed in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face and said: "The lieutenant's words are very reasonable! In this case, let Liu Zhang come to Beijing, and I will ask him what he wants.

! By the way! Let Liu Zhang also bring those generals who have made meritorious deeds to the capital to show me!"

"Your Majesty, if you saw this, you would definitely be surprised!" Shi A said with a smile: "Among these generals, the eldest is Huang Xu, the son of Weichen and Colonel Huang Zhong. The others are all about the same age as the young master and are his teachers.

brother!"

"A hero comes from a young age!" Liu Hong's eyes lit up and he said: "In this case, I have to meet him in person! I said that as long as Liu Zhang can make great contributions to the Han Dynasty, I will treat him as a champion. Now he personally takes the lead

He marched directly into the Karasuma Palace, his merits are no less than those of the champion, and he is younger than the champion. This is the pride of this dynasty, my pride! Zhang Qing, pass on my will, and make Liu Zhang the Zhonglang General, the champion.

Before the end of the year, I ordered the governor Liu Yan and the champion Hou Liu Zhang to come to Beijing to have an audience!"

"I obey the order!" Zhang Rang quickly accepted the order. Since Liu Hong had issued the order, it had become a fait accompli. No matter how much Yuan Wei wanted to object, he was powerless. Standing below, Yuan Wei finally understood what lifting means.

A stone was thrown at one's own feet.

Your Majesty announces Liu Zhang’s arrival in Beijing!

After the disbandment of the dynasty, the news swept Luoyang like a storm. Five years ago, Liu Zhang was a nightmare for the wealthy families in Luoyang. The wealthy families finally drove him out of the capital. Now this nightmare is coming back. Liu Zhang suffered a lot back then.

All the children of the aristocratic family were preparing to go to the countryside to hide in order to avoid being repaired by Liu Zhang.

Just when Luoyang was in chaos because of Liu Zhang's return, Liu Hong called Shi A into the palace. Wang Yue stood beside Liu Hong and couldn't help but feel very happy when he saw that the apprentice who used to laugh and play around him had finally grown up.

When Shi A brought the gifts prepared by Liu Zhang to Zhang Rang, Wang Yue and Liu Hong, the three of them all laughed. The children were still the same as before. However, what made Liu Hong a little embarrassed was that Liu Zhang also brought a gift.
