Chapter 54, court memorial
Jiade Hall.
The emperor sits on a high throne, with hundreds of officials arranged in four rows below.
"According to Tianshun's timing, he was ordered by Ziming. Huangfu helped Song quell the rebellion and was promoted to Jizhou Mu; Zhu Jun was promoted to General of the Right Chariot and Cavalry, Liu Bei was promoted to Bingzhou Mu, Cao Cao was promoted to the Governor of Dongjun, and Sun Jian was promoted to the Governor of Changsha..."
The high-pitched voice of the eunuch Zuo Feng echoed in the palace, and all the officials looked at each other in disbelief.
This reward... is so generous!
That's all for Huangfu, Song and Zhujun. They are both veterans.
Young people like Cao Cao and Sun Jian suddenly became governors of a county, and the most conspicuous among them was Liu Bei who soared directly into the sky and was directly promoted from a commoner to the head of a state.
As soon as Zuo Feng's voice stopped, Sikong Yuan Wei stepped out of the queue without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, I have objections. Although Liu Bei has extraordinary achievements, he was only a commoner before and may not be qualified for the position of a state."
As the head of the Yuan family, his statement instantly won the support of a large number of former disciples and officials of the Yuan family, as well as some old friends of the Yuan family.
Some people say that Liu Bei's qualifications are too low and that doing so is counterproductive.
Some people also say that he should first practice in the capital for a few years.
Liu Hong seemed to have expected it, and was not upset when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and said: "To be honest, I also feel that Liu Bei was promoted too quickly."
The officials who came out to object looked at each other, some of them unable to guess what kind of medicine the emperor was selling in his gourd.
Yuan Wei had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he never thought that the emperor sitting above him was an incompetent person.
An emperor who was helped up to the throne by his relatives, but in the end turned around and eliminated his relatives. His power skills were never bad.
As for why the Han Dynasty was governed to such a war-torn situation today, the main reason is that...he was unable to change the situation of being the last in the aristocratic family, so he chose to give up on himself and indulge in sensuality.
He is a foolish king, but he is not an incompetent king.
Just listen to Liu Hong continue to say: "The reason why I reward Liu Bei like this is because I had a dream last night."
Dream?
All the officials looked at each other, and their intuition told them that this was the emperor's next excuse.
Liu Hong was still minding his own business and said: "I dreamed of my great ancestor, and he told me that he had chosen a general to protect the country for me, and that this person was a relative of the royal family."
"Do you think Liu Bei is the person chosen by Emperor Gaozu?"
"But if not, how could he put down the Yingchuan and Qingzhou rebellions just by being a commoner?"
???
All the officials were speechless, and even Yuan Wei did not continue to object, although most of them believed that the dream was fake and was fabricated by the emperor for the sake of rewards and promotions.
But who dares to question it?
The emperor even moved Gaozu out, which shows that he was determined to win this matter. In order to make it appear that Liu Bei's promotion was not so outrageous, even the rewards for Sun Jian and others were much richer.
If anyone dares to jump out at this time, Liu Hong will kill him for disrespecting Emperor Gaozu.
Even Yuan Wei, the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes.
So, under the intimidation of Gaozu's name, Liu Bei successfully promoted Bingzhou Mu.
"Your Majesty has an order to summon Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao... to the palace."
After a while, Liu Bei, neatly dressed, followed Cao Cao and others to the palace.
Upon seeing this, all the officials immediately understood and even prepared their official uniforms. This was simply an internal decision.
——
This is an elegant house and Mi Zhu's property in the capital.
"This must be Guo Fengxiao who was strategizing and winning the battle thousands of miles away. I am Mi Zhu, whose name is Zizhong."
"My dear, Guo Jia, I made Brother Zizhong laugh."
The first meeting between Guo Jia and Mi Zhu was a bit strange, because the other party gave him, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu a beauty as soon as they arrived.
It was Bian Yuer and others from Tianxiang Tower, and it was Mi Zhu who paid for the redemption.
"My fair lady, it's human nature for gentlemen to be quarrelsome." Mi Zhu also felt a little strange about meeting her new colleagues in Goulan for the first time, but she didn't care much about it.
It doesn't matter whether a person is romantic or not, what matters is his ability.
Although Mi Zhu doesn’t like shopping in Goulan.
Guo Jia looked at the handsome young man with interest. Mi Zhu's temperament was similar to Xun Yu's. They were both the kind of people who looked very upright and behaved like a gentleman.
"Hey, you are so funny, I, Mr. Zhang, like you." Zhang Fei laughed and walked up to Mi Zhu, patting her thin shoulder heavily. This was his way of expressing his love.
However, not everyone can bear this kind of enthusiasm and cheerful way of greeting.
Hiss~
Mi Zhu took a breath. Although he was proficient in the Six Arts of a Gentleman, he was just a scholar after all.
Guo Jia saw this and said angrily: "Yide, are you saying hello or hitting someone?"
Zhang Fei retracted his hand brightly upon hearing this, only because his reaction was too enthusiastic.
Guan Yu hesitated for a moment and then said, "Thank you, Mr. Zizhong."
"Brother Yun, you're welcome."
In fact, the children of aristocratic families in this era often went together to have fun in Goulan, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei practiced martial arts hard in their early years and never tried it.
Last night, except for Liu Bei, the entire army was wiped out.
At present, it is not ruled out that Liu Bei secretly eats it, but he just hides it well. After all, a hero cannot enjoy the beauty after fighting for such a long time.
Guo Jia looked at Mi Zhu and said with a smile: "How about making tea and talking about it?"
Mi Zhu naturally had no objection, and he also had expectations for Guo Jia.
"I have my wish, but I dare not ask for my ear."
——
"Fengxiao thinks that my lord may successfully propose the state merger today?"
After a cup of tea, Mi Zhu was the first to speak.
He knew that based on his lord's contribution, as long as the identity of the royal clan was confirmed, rewards would be inevitable. However, the position of the head of a state was of great importance, and Liu Bei originally had no official position, so it was really difficult to ensure success.
Guo Jia took a sip of tea, then put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Zizhong... there is never an absolute in this world, what do you think?"
"What Fengxiao said is true."
"But Jia is 90% sure that this will happen."
"How can I see it?"
"Secrets must not be revealed."
Guo Jia betrayed him, but Mi Zhu was not annoyed. Instead, he secretly thought about where the other party relied.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but complain: "The military advisor is good at everything, but he just likes to show off."
Guan Yu also smiled and nodded, obviously agreeing with this statement.
Guo Jia smiled and said nothing. In his opinion, Liu Bei's military achievements were sufficient, and there were eunuchs to help him. The final key was whether the emperor nodded.
As long as he agreed, it would be useless for others to obstruct him. The emperor of Han Dynasty at this time was not a puppet. At least he still had the right to speak in the capital and in the court.
Just then, Liu Bei came back.
"My lord, I am very proud of the spring breeze. It seems that everything went well on this trip."
Done!
From the smile that couldn't be concealed on Liu Bei's face, Guo Jia instantly concluded that Bingzhou had been obtained.
Liu Bei said sternly: "Thanks to the emperor's respect, we will fulfill our duties to the best of our ability."
