Chapter 72 Shocking News
As soon as Zhang Rang finished speaking, someone immediately came out to refute.
Cai Yong took a step forward, bowed his hands to Liu Hong and said: "Your Majesty, General Guo saved the country from danger and saved the building from collapse. It is a great achievement to put down the rebellion. Such merit should be rewarded generously, so as not to chill the hearts of the people in the world.
ah."
As he spoke, he showed his true feelings and shed a few tears, obviously feeling extremely grievances for Guo Haoming.
Huangfu Song and others immediately raised their hands and shouted to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please reward me!"
Dozens of people asked for orders in unison, which sounded like the earth was shattering in He Jin's ears. His expression immediately changed. He did not expect that there would be so many people opposed.
Liu Hong didn't say anything. He didn't want to use the topic as an excuse, so he withdrew He Jin. However, Liu Xie's assassination finally told him one thing. He no longer had the capital to be willful.
If there is no legitimate reason, the remaining aristocratic families will not give up. He has lost the upper hand in this game, so he can only endure it now.
Wait until He Jin makes a mistake or another opportunity.
He Jin stepped out of the queue: "Guo Fei is only eighteen years old, how can he have the same experience as the ministers of the DPRK? Even if Guo Fei is a talented person, who can predict whether he will be short-lived!"
He Jin's words made everyone sneer. They were simply farts. He had to make two meritorious deeds before he could be rewarded?
But He Jin's words represent an attitude, an attitude that would rather confront the great Confucian and many heroes.
The court hall fell into silence after all, and the atmosphere gradually became tense, because the superior Liu Hong never made a sound.
Could it be that they guessed wrong that Liu Hong did not want to abolish the elder and establish the younger?
All the courtiers were thinking, they cannot make mistakes in this court. Once they make a mistake, everything will be lost.
When the atmosphere reached freezing point, Guo Hao stood up.
"Thank you for your grace!"
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the court instantly relaxed. All the heroes felt sorry for him, while the general looked soothed.
Guo Hao's speech basically acquiesced to He Jin's suppression of him, and also caused many heroes to lose the foundation to continue to fight against He Jin.
When everyone saw Guo Hao's calm expression, it was obvious that he was not giving in because of fear, and their good impression of Guo Hao became stronger in their hearts.
In their view, Guo Hao's move was tantamount to sacrificing himself rather than asking them to do it.
"If you love your young talents, you should encourage them and do your best for the great man." Liu Hong comforted him dryly, but he was helpless.
Even Guo Hao's initiative to speak made him feel relieved.
He is too old, and the successive incidents have caused him to lose the ability to suppress the family.
For Liu Xie, he could only sacrifice Guo Hao to maintain the balance in the court.
Cai Yong couldn't accept it, so he immediately resigned due to illness. Liu Hong did not stop him and allowed him to leave.
"Meet Dong Zhuo!" The eunuch's sharp voice came from outside the door.
"Xuan"
Everyone was surprised. Wasn't Dong Zhuo sent to Liangzhou to suppress the rebellion? How could he appear in Luoyang?
"Your Majesty, good news. Your Majesty, good news." Dong Zhuo went to the palace and threw himself to the ground, shouting loudly.
"What good news? Tell me quickly!" Liu Hong originally thought something had happened, but Dong Zhuo unexpectedly gave him a surprise.
"Your Majesty, the Qiang rebellion in Liangzhou has been put down, and the leader of the thieves, Han Sui, has been killed!" Dong Zhuo's words were astonishing.
"Dong Zhongying, do you know what you are talking about?" He Jin asked, feeling vaguely that something was wrong.
Dong Zhuo didn't care about He Jin. He could come in at the right time. Naturally, someone in the court had tipped off the news. Otherwise, how could he come in at the wrong time? So He Jin knew all about Guo Hao's troubles.
Guo Hao is now his grandson-in-law. Although it is a bit strange, they are indeed a family now and have a marriage contract.
"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true. Here is a joint letter signed by officials at all levels in Liangzhou. Your Majesty, please take a look."
"Quick, quick, bring it up!"
Liu Hong couldn't wait to take the joint letter from Zhang Rang and was very excited. This was really the best news he had heard recently. He even felt a little healthier.
But when he read the contents of the joint petition, he looked a little strange.
"General, you just said that Guo Fei is still young and not qualified for a big job. You have to wait for Guo Fei to make further contributions before you can be rewarded?" Liu Hong asked slowly.
He Jin felt that he was about to face a disaster, but he still said bravely: "I spoke from my heart. If Guo Fei can make great contributions again, he should be greatly rewarded."
"Then please take a good look at it, General!" Liu Hong sneered and threw the joint certificate on He Jin's body.
"This...how is this possible? Pfft..."
After He Jin read the joint petition, his eyesight turned black and he couldn't control himself for a moment. He vomited out a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious on the spot.
"The general has been working hard on state affairs for a long time. If you are old and weak, you should go home and recuperate as soon as possible." Liu Hong waved his hand and asked Yulin Wei to take the general back to the general's mansion.
The more Liu Hong looked at Guo Hao, the more he liked him, and suddenly he thought of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Huo Qubing.
"Pengju is really my hussar general. Pengju will retreat for now and rest while I choose some rewards for Pengju!"
"We will discuss the reward for General Hussar tomorrow. Let's retreat from the court!"
Liu Hong threw away his sleeves and took care of things, leaving some buffer time for the ministers present, and he was going to make arrangements.
Everyone was still immersed in the titles of General Hussars, and Huangfu Song picked up the joint letter on the ground.
"Peng Ju is really amazing!" Huangfu Song couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the joint letter.
Seeing that many ministers looked confused, Huangfu Song simply read it.
"Han Sui in Jincheng rebelled, prompting the Qiang people in Liangzhou to raise 500,000 troops to rebel. In a short time, half of the city in Liangzhou fell. Guo Pengju, the lord of Beiliang City, was not afraid in the face of danger. He joined forces to determine the outcome of the war, killed Han Sui, and killed the enemy.
There were more than 30,000 people and more than 200,000 prisoners, and all the Qiang tribes expressed their submission."
The joint certificate is stamped with the seals of each city, and each seal has a hint of national destiny, which is obviously the real situation.
"I'm not as good as me!" Even Yuan Shao, who wanted to save face the most, couldn't help but feel ashamed at this moment.
The Qiang rebellion ran through the beginning and end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was a quagmire of war that troubled all dynasties. Every time the court raised troops, it was a waste of lives and money. It can be said that the decline of the Han Dynasty was inseparable from the Qiang rebellion.
In the end, Guo Hao used Liangzhou's local defenders to put down the rebellion. Could it be that the champion was reincarnated?
Anyone who has seen Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry knows that the Qiang people in Liangzhou are really not a simple enemy.
The players who had originally achieved their goals were restless. They were not fools. Guo Hao had already achieved success, and he would follow Boss Dong's path step by step.
As long as they are not as stupid as Boss Dong, what will they do to compete with Guo Hao when the time comes?
The coalition of eighteen princes?
