Chapter 1397: Rewards From the Divine Capital (Part 2)

Then, Zhao Zhong came out to read. What he read was about the princes. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many princes in Shenzhou were displaced and even captured. But after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they were all rescued. In this regard, Zhang Jue did not do as well as some people wanted.

According to reason, the Yellow Turban Army should have killed the entire families of those princes, and then the Dragon Court would have taken back the titles and fiefs, which would have suited the appetite of some people. Unfortunately, it didn't happen!

Then, the elders of the Liu clan came out to speak.

As a representative, it was Liu Yu, who was quite old and senior.

What Liu Yu read was nothing more than words to let the princes return to their fiefs and live a stable life (waiting to die).

The whole process was complicated and formulaic.

After finishing these superficial efforts, it was the main course.

"Da Da Da!" Zhang Rang held an imperial edict and slowly came to the stairs to read:

"In the first month of the seventh year of Guanghe (184 AD), there was a severe drought in the world. Zhang Jiao rebelled, raised the banner of rebellion, spread rumors to confuse the people, and caused cholera in eight states. The kings were displaced, thousands of officials were displaced, and the people were killed. The country was in turmoil. The emperor was decisive, and he followed the will of the people and the will of heaven. He sealed the pillars of the country and recruited strong soldiers from all over the world. The three generals of the north and left were ordered to conquer the Yellow Turban bandits. Many righteous armies sprang up like bamboo shoots in spring to save the people of the world.

The bandit leaders Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang led the people to attack the Divine Capital. The emperor personally came to the city, made a decisive decision for eternity, and sacrificed himself to the destiny of heaven. He suppressed millions of Yellow Turbans with his own ability and saved the building from collapse. His merits were outstanding. Now, the south has been settled, and the north is also clear. Many merits have gathered in the Divine Capital.

The Han Dynasty is fortunate to have Your Majesty! The world is prosperous because of Your Majesty! The Han Dynasty is settled because of all the heroes! End!"

Zhang Rang read out a brief account of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. However, more of them praised Liu Hong's merits.

Indeed, this Yellow Turban Rebellion, due to various changes, created Liu Hong's name!

The words of destiny are still passed down by the people of the world!

After Zhang Rang finished reading, Lin Mu and others were slightly shocked. Here it comes, the next is the reward. Let's see how the Han Emperor Liu Hong rewards and how those ministers argue.

"Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo... Lin Mu... Gongsun Zan..." After that, Zhang Rang began to read a long list of names and asked them to stand out.

"Everyone, this time, the Yellow Turban Army was cleared and the Taiping Dao was exterminated, and many heroes of the righteous army emerged. Of course, the first meritorious ones are still the three Zhonglang generals. They were appointed when the army was defeated and ordered in danger, and they are the pillars of the country!" Han Emperor Liu Hong said in a deep voice.

Looking at the tall and sturdy figures below, Liu Hong's face was full of satisfaction.

These people's qualifications, talents, physical fitness, military strategies, etc. are very good, and they are outstanding people. The Han Dynasty will not decline with these people! !

"My dear ministers, this time, the Left Lieutenant General Huangfu Song fought in the south and north to quell the rebellion, and his merits ranked first. Do you have any objections?!" Liu Hong asked with a democratic look on his face.

The three dukes and nine ministers all looked grim when they heard this. Since the last time you promoted foreigners, you have been arbitrary in the government. Is it pretentious to ask this question now?

But no one said anything.

"Huangfu Song's merits as Lieutenant General should be ranked first!" Yuan Feng and others said.

They would not say anything about Huangfu Song's merits, and they could not say anything.

As for the impeachment memorials secretly sent by some nobles in Jingzhou, they were just a mustard disease and could not shake anything at all.

"In this case. Then pass on my order to appoint Huangfu Song as [General of Chariots and Cavalry] and lead the governor of Jizhou!" Liu Hong said in a deep voice.

As soon as the two terms came out, many heavy breathing sounds echoed in the crowd.

[General of Chariots and Cavalry] is a second-rank official, a general of the state, commanding the troops of the world.

The governor of Jizhou is a high-ranking official. In recent years, the governor's post is more and more like a governor of a state, and his position is even more important! Countless people are flocking to it!

"After the ravages of the Yellow Turban Army of the Taiping Dao, Jizhou has not been able to farm for many months. The people have suffered for a long time and need capable talents to rebuild and restore. Huangfu Aiqing, you are willing to take on the task again?"

"I obey your order!" Huangfu Song immediately bowed and responded.

"However, I dare to ask your majesty to exempt the people of Jizhou from taxes for one year!" Huangfu Song said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"Approved!" Liu Hong agreed without thinking.

"Huangfu Aiqing is a master of military strategy and loves the people like his own children. It is a great righteousness! I will confer you the title of Huaili Hou!" Liu Hong said again in a serious voice.

Conferring a title of marquis? ! ! Everyone's face changed again when they heard it.

Huaili Hou is a county marquis! ! It is Huaili City, the seat of Sili Youfufeng! That is a big city!

Emotions such as envy, jealousy, and hatred lingered in the hearts of other officials.

At this time, a familiar figure walked out from the clan team.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." The figure bowed and said in a serious tone.

"Oh... What does Elder Liu Yan have to say?" Liu Hong raised his eyebrows.

It turned out that it was Liu Yan, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, who stood up!

When Liu Yan stepped out to speak, several officials had strange expressions on their faces, and the plan began! ! !

"Your Majesty, Jizhou is the core of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The people are deeply poisoned by the Taiping Dao, and Jizhou is an important state of our Han Dynasty, supplying countless grain and grass resources to the court. We need to impose heavy penalties to restore the power of Jizhou."

"So I dare to suggest that Your Majesty reward Huangfu Song, the General of Chariots and Cavalry, as the governor of Jizhou, command the military and political power of Jizhou, and restore the order and people's livelihood of Jizhou in one fell swoop." Liu Yan said with a sincere look.

"What? Governor?? ! ! No! ! No! ! "As soon as Liu Yan said this, many officials objected.

"Your Majesty, the position of state pastor, which combines military power and political power, is a hidden danger. It has become an official above the county magistrates, governors and even governors. The state pastor can independently control a party's finances, taxes, and even the recruitment of troops and other matters. , it is easy to breed disaster, absolutely not! Your Majesty!" An official came out and knelt on the ground and shouted.

None of the officials present knelt down, and his doing so showed his strong opposition to Liu Yanzhi's words.

Liu Yan's mouth twitched when he heard those objections. Ma De, I am not the state shepherd, I am just a recommendation! If he wants to take charge of it himself, he doesn’t know how many obstacles he will have to go through! !

Fortunately, the plan was to let Huangfu Song clear the way first, and then make plans for the future!

Lin Mu in the crowd was shocked when he heard Liu Yan's words. The disaster of Zhou Mu has been brought forward again! !

According to Lin Mu’s knowledge, Huangfu Song was appointed as the prefect of Jizhou when Liu Yan proposed it when the imperial army was defeated and retreated during the Xiliang Rebellion. Because Jizhou is a big state that transports strategic supplies, if it cannot recover in time, The situation will be very difficult!

Of course, a lot of those things are just excuses, the real reason is that some people want to introduce a state pastoral system! Completely divide Longting’s authority!

For this system, Lin Mu and other lord players are in favor of this system, because it is one of the important reasons for accelerating the collapse of the Han Dynasty!

"Yangxu, what I said is for the good of Jizhou and the good of the Han Dynasty. How can it bring disaster!!" Liu Yan pointed at the official who was kneeling on the ground and shouted. It turns out that those who knelt down were officials from the General's Mansion.

In fact, General He Jin, who stood at the top, was even more opposed to Liu Yanzhi's words, because Zhou Mu was ruthlessly snatching power and money from him! ! Therefore, he asked Yang Xu and others to stand up and oppose.

"Your Majesty! The state pastoral system should not be activated lightly! Be careful and careful!!" Xun Yu also stood up to dissuade him.
