Chapter 128: The government and the opposition shake!
"Well, your uncle deserves a reward. What do you think, sir?"
The Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty accepted the etiquette training and reconstruction in the palace this time, but he did not make any mistake in wanting to make Liu Hao a general.
Lu Zhi came out and said: "It is rare to defeat ten with one from ancient times. I sincerely ask Your Majesty to reward Taishou Liu appropriately and encourage the meritorious officials."
Seeing that the situation was developing toward favoring Liu Hao, Grand Tutor Yuan Wei took a deep breath and felt that he should do something.
He hurriedly came out of the queue, bowed down to Danqi, and paused, saying: "I thought that promoting Liu Hao to the post of Yingchuan Prefect was already a heavy reward. At this time, I only need to reward him with money, and there is no need to be promoted."
"I think so too, my ministers."
Sikong Yuan Feng and General He Jin also came out one after another and said: "The governor of a county is already an important minister of the court. He promotes young people too quickly, but it breeds arrogance in their hearts!"
The superior Queen Mother He suddenly snorted coldly and said: "If you don't make people jealous, you are mediocre. Prefect Liu killed tens of thousands of Yellow Turban bandits in one month. It can be said that his hard work is great, so he doesn't deserve a reward?"
"Of all of you here, is there anyone who can lead three thousand new troops and defeat dozens of thieves?"
Lu Zhi replied sincerely: "Returning to the Queen Mother, I will definitely not be able to do it. Zhu Jun can do it reluctantly, but maybe Huangfu Song can do it."
He is also sincere and not afraid of offending people. Fortunately, who are the two people he is talking about?
That was a famous general recognized by the world, a fierce man who defeated millions of Yellow Turban thieves back then, but now he was dispatched to the Han border to defend against foreigners.
He Jin snorted and started to argue: "Many of the Yellow Turban thieves are old men and children, with little fighting ability..."
Before she finished speaking, Queen Mother He's phoenix eyes were slightly cold and she said directly: "General, do you have anything else to say?"
Forehead...
Why couldn't He Jin, the elder brother, hear the coldness in Queen Mother He's words?
"My lord...I have nothing to say for now..."
He Jin shrank his neck and immediately gave up. If the remaining half was left, he swallowed it directly.
Did this idiot butcher realize that Liu Hao was now a pillar of the Han Dynasty that the Queen Mother could rely on?
In a few years, your position as general will definitely belong to him!
Zhang Rang almost laughed out loud.
After a long discussion in the Golden Palace, Empress Dowager He finally finalized the decision and instructed Zhang Rang to declare:
"Confess Governor Liu as a former general, long live the Marquis of Ting, hurry up for 800 miles, and send the message back to Yingchuan County!"
"What!"
Yuan Shao's vision went dark, he staggered and almost fell down in the golden palace, but luckily He Jin held him up!
He Jin also shook his body and opened his mouth so wide that he could almost stuff a goose egg!
Liu Hao, just like that, he was awarded the title of Marquis and General?
Empress Dowager He continued to give orders, and Zhang Rang shouted at the top of his lungs: "Your Excellency, the Minister of Health, has recommended worthy people and has been awarded the title of Yin of Henan!"
Wang Yun was so excited that he hurriedly knelt down under the Danqi and said in a trembling voice: "I obey the decree, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are wise!"
Every time he asked for credit for Liu Hao, Wang Yun acted as a vanguard.
Now his investment in Liu Hao has paid off.
Henan Yin!
This is a powerful official in charge of dozens of counties around Luoyang (equivalent to the mayor of the imperial capital)!
Wow!
Upon hearing such a generous reward from the Queen Mother, there was a chorus of envious exclamations in the Golden Palace.
"Damn it, little old man Wang Yun is so lucky!"
"I heard that this guy sold his daughter to Liu Zixuan, so he took her into his lap!"
"Oh, in a certain family, there is also a daughter who is waiting to be married..."
The civil and military ministers looked shocked, as if they were dreaming.
Wang Yun, an old man, was just a minister a month ago.
In Luoyang City, there are a lot of them.
Now, because he hugged Liu Hao's thigh, he rose to prominence and was awarded the title of Henan Yin!
Liu Hao is even more awesome!
Less than a month later, it was still a jobless young man with no official position who was promoted to be filial and honest.
But now, Liu Hao has conquered Ying County and is famous all over the world!
In one fell swoop, he was granted the title of Marquis!
In the midst of the roaring discussion, Grand Tutor Yuan Wei squeezed out from the ranks of civil servants and bowed down tremblingly. "I still have something to report!"
The Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty said: "I love you, but there is no harm in saying so."
"Yingchuan County originally had good public security, but under the rule of Yuzhou Governor Kong You, the Yellow Turban bandits reappeared, sweeping through the counties and plundering the people, making the people miserable!"
Yuan Wei said solemnly, pointing the finger directly at Zhang Rang.
Zhang Rang was horrified. He didn't expect Yuan Wei, an old ghost, to take advantage of the situation and burn himself!
"I have heard that Kong You, the governor of Yuzhou, was headstrong, nepotistic, and neglected his duties. He even indulged his wife and brother and went rampant in Yingchuan counties, which led to the unpopularity of the people!"
Sikong Yuan Feng came out of the queue immediately and said: "Kong Min is recommended by Zhang Rang, the regular servant. The old minister invites your majesty to order the Tingwei Office to investigate the matter thoroughly!"
"I reported to the Tingwei Office, and it was found out that Chang Shi Zhang Rang was not responsible for the investigation, and that he was guilty of improper employment."
He Jin immediately understood the intention of the two elders of the Yuan family and came out to prostrate themselves.
The boss made a move, and all his subordinates, needless to say, came out one after another to prostrate themselves and said: "I'm waiting for you to report to the Tingwei Office to find out that Chang Shi Zhang Rang is not responsible for the crime of improper employment."
When Emperor Ling was alive, Zhang Rang covered the sky with one hand and offended many officials.
At this time, dozens of officials suddenly fell to their knees in the Golden Palace, and they all followed suit.
He suggested that Zhang Rang be punished severely, which scared him so much that he broke into a cold sweat!
His eyes were darting around!
It's just a small crime if you don't know who's doing it.
But if he is directly questioned in the Golden Palace, then he has no way out and can only choose to fight to the death!
"Old minister is guilty!"
Zhang Rang's heart suddenly turned. After all, he was worthy of being a great official of his generation. With tears streaming down his face, he knelt down on the ground, hugging the young Emperor Han's thigh, and howled: "I thought that Kong Min was originally a famous person with a great reputation and all his talents."
I recommended it to the late emperor, but I didn’t expect him to be such a bastard!”
"Your Majesty, please kill the old minister!"
Listening to Zhang Rang's cry, He Jin thought to himself, "That's not good!"...
