When the mood among the ministers was boiling, Mi Yang, whose hand was tightly grasped by Liu Bei, also looked at the Emperor of Han next to him, who had just called him his adopted son.
It wasn't until this moment that Mi Yang knew why Liu Bei didn't tell him in advance that he would be relieved of his post as general.
Liu Bei was protecting him.
If Liu Bei had told him about this in advance, he would definitely tell him his true purpose.
But that would undoubtedly put Mi Yang into a difficult situation.
Chang'an is not a military camp. Liu Bei, who lives in the palace, is followed by daily officials day and night.
The living official will faithfully record the scene he saw in the history books, so that Mi Yang will cause considerable controversy in later generations.
The reward given by Admiral Tiance has transcended the category of ministers.
In this case, as a minister, Mi Yang knew about this in advance, so why didn't he risk his life and refuse?
In order to prevent future generations from having such doubts about Mi Yang, the best way is to keep it secret first, and then directly announce it to the world with the authority of the emperor in a public place.
Liu Bei's love for him is really reflected in all aspects.
As he thought about it, Mi Yang's eyes turned red.
At the same time, Mi Yang also knew that Liu Bei created a title for himself as General Tiance, not just to reward himself.
He is also paving the way for Liu Chan.
After the victory in the Battle of Nanzheng, he was already a general and a prince.
And then he regained Chang'an and even the entire Guanzhong old land for the Han Dynasty. This kind of contribution can be said to be greater than any contribution he made in the past.
Therefore, Liu Bei must reward himself again.
Otherwise, if he, who was the first to make the first contribution, was not rewarded, then how could others who had made military exploits in the Northern Expedition have the right to be rewarded?
But how to reward yourself is quite a headache.
The reward can be divided into two aspects, one is power and the other is reputation.
In terms of power, there is still room for improvement.
But in terms of reputation, he has already reached the top of the list of ministers - the Marquis of Qi.
According to common sense, the next higher up from marquis to duke, but Mi Yang knew that it was impossible for Duke Liu Bei to award him a reward.
As an emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei's bottom line was that no stranger should touch his title.
And if you can't reward yourself as a duke, how can you reward yourself with a title?
It is not feasible to increase the number of food towns.
Relying on the merits of regaining Guanzhong, if you want to reward yourself by increasing the amount of food, the increase must start at least 10,000 households.
But before, I already had more than 10,000 households. If I added at least 10,000 households, how could I have a big city with a permanent population of more than 20,000 households after the world had been in war for many years?
It is impossible for Liu Bei to directly reward himself with the two capitals of Chang'an and Chengdu as food towns.
After leading the troops to regain Guanzhong, Mi Yang faced a situation where there was no reward.
When there was no reward, and when he encountered a merit that must be rewarded, Liu Bei could only imitate Emperor Wu and reward Huo Qubing, and came up with a brand new title for Mi Yang.
In order to make this title match Mi Yang's contribution, Liu Bei raised the status of General Tiance to the level second only to the emperor.
And with the establishment of the title of General Tiance, not only the current situation of Mi Yang with no reward has been effectively solved.
Even after Liu Bei's death in the future, Liu Chan will not face the dilemma of being unable to reward Mi Yang.
Because Liu Bei specially opened up a new reward path for Mi Yang that no other minister has ever had.
The title of General Tiance awarded by Liu Bei is essentially a title.
This title is not subject to the ancestral system and does not conflict with Mi Yang's status as Marquis of Qi. In this case, Liu Chan will have many ways to reward Mi Yang in the future.
If Liu Chan is asked to lay the foundation, he may not be able to do it.
But if Liu Chan is asked to build a tall building on the foundation, he can accomplish it.
It can be said that Liu Bei's decision to reward Mi Yang as General Tiance today was not only out of an emperor's consideration, but also out of a father's painstaking efforts.
Of course, Liu Bei's painstaking efforts as a father were devoted to both Liu Chan and Mi Yang.
Although the ministers were extremely shocked by Liu Bei's appointment of Mi Yang as General Tiance, after all, the status of General Tiance was too high.
But no matter how strong the shock in his heart was, none of the ministers came out to stop Liu Bei at this time.
There are many reasons for this scene - the emperor's supreme authority, Mi Yang's unparalleled achievements.
But there is another very important reason that cannot be ignored.
That reason is:
When Liu Bei's words of canonizing Mi Yang as General Tiance reached the ears of the tens of thousands of Han troops below the high platform, compared to the shock of the Han officials, the reaction of the tens of thousands of Han troops was more direct.
Almost at the same time, tens of thousands of Han troops raised their heads and looked towards the high platform.
Although the lights on the high platform were brightly lit, many Han soldiers could not see Mi Yang's face clearly due to the distance.
But they all know Mi Yang's figure!
When they saw Mi Yang standing by the high platform, tens of thousands of Han troops thought that Mi Yang was waiting for their response.
So there was no need for the courtesy officer's guidance. The next moment, tens of thousands of Han troops raised their spears and faced the figure on the high platform:
"Admiral Tiance!"
"Admiral Tiance!"
At the moment when tens of thousands of spears were raised high, countless cheers and shouts could not help but come from the mouths of tens of thousands of Han troops.
The cheers and shouts of tens of thousands of people were like a surging tide, drowning the hill-like platform in an instant.
But before they could react, the hundreds of Han ministers who were sitting on the high platform felt that the words "General Tiance" were all over them in all directions.
As time went by, the shouts of tens of thousands of Han troops became more intense.
If the tens of thousands of shouts just now could only be regarded as the sound of surging tide, then later, the shouts of tens of thousands of Han troops had turned into the sound of huge earthquakes shaking the mountains, making the whole place inside and outside Changling rumbling like earthquakes.
ring.
Among the hundreds of Han ministers who were shocked, no one dared to act or speak rashly.
The tens of thousands of Han troops guarding Changling today are all the elite Han troops who followed Mi Yang in his Northern Expedition last year.
For tens of thousands of Han army elites, they watched with their own eyes how Mi Yang led them to defeat the enemy again and again, and how he led them step by step to the foot of Chang'an.
The Han soldiers who have experienced this have great admiration for Mi Yang, and they are Mi Yang's staunchest supporters!
With the merits of the Marquis of Qi, he should be the general of Tiance.
And from now on, I should be a member of the Tiance Army!
Does anyone dare to dispute this?
Amidst tens of thousands of long-lasting shouts, a chamberlain was walking quickly towards the high platform holding a jade plate in his hand.
The chamberlain's feet were shaking with every step he took.
It was obvious that when he just left, it was quiet up and down the high platform, but he didn't expect that when he came back, the world he was in was already shaking.
How can a little chamberlain not be afraid?
But with the sacred mandate in hand, this chamberlain still tried his best to summon up the courage in his heart and kept moving towards the high platform.
The chamberlain's hurried appearance on the stage naturally attracted the attention of all the Han ministers on and off the stage.
Looking at the chamberlain walking past quickly, although the jade plate he was holding was wrapped in a piece of white cloth, it was not difficult to see through observation that what was on the jade plate was a sword.
But for no reason, why did this chamberlain suddenly come to the high platform with a sword in his hand?
The chamberlain was moving very fast, and every time he passed by a Han minister, such a question would appear in the Han minister's mind.
However, the questions in the hearts of the Han ministers did not last long, because as the servants successfully climbed to the top, the questions in their hearts were about to be answered.
Watching the leaving chamberlain, Liu Bei had a smile on his face after finally bringing him what he wanted.
Liu Bei first asked his chamberlain to stand aside, and then motioned to Mi Yang to calm down the world.
After receiving Liu Bei's signal, Mi Yang nodded slightly.
Then, under the attention of tens of thousands of Han troops, he raised one hand high to make a waving flag.
Even though Mi Yang did not have a military flag in his hand at the moment, tens of thousands of officers in the Han army immediately understood what Mi Yang meant after Mi Yang's actions.
So almost the next moment, the tens of thousands of shouts that had caused a commotion in the world suddenly stopped.
Just as Liu Bei said, the world became quiet again.
After seeing this astonishing scene, many Hanchen could not help but feel filled with emotion.
Should this be said that Ji Fang Erlang is well-trained? Or should it be said that Mi Yang's control over the army has reached an unimaginable level?
After the heaven and earth returned to peace, Liu Bei lifted up the white cloth covering the jade plate under the watchful eyes of all the Han officials.
After the white cloth was unveiled, the full view of the objects on the jade plate officially fell into everyone's eyes.
Just as he had guessed just now, the object was a sword.
But after seeing the entire sword, some veterans' breathing became rapid again.
The sword was three feet and six inches long, with a dragon and phoenix as the handle, and the body of the sword was carved with divination patterns with graceful lines.
Just looking at the appearance, you can tell that the value of this sword must be extraordinary.
But compared to the value of its appearance, the meaning of the sword itself is even more extraordinary.
Because this sword is Liu Bei's personal sword.
After Liu Bei took control of Yizhou, he ordered world-famous craftsmen to mine iron from Jinniu Mountain and forge eight extremely sharp swords.
Liu Bei kept one of the eight swords as his personal sword, and the other seven were awarded to the three princes and four distinguished ministers.
Although the current sword has the same origin as the other seven swords of the ministers.
But ever since this sword was used as a personal sword by Liu Bei, it has acquired extraordinary significance in the eyes of Han Dynasty ministers for many years.
Now Liu Bei takes out this sword, what is his intention?
Why else? It can't be taken out to absorb the moonlight essence.
"Zi Sheng."
Liu Beicai didn't bother to care whether the eyes of others were red or not, whether his breathing was rapid or not, he just aroused Mi Yang by himself.
While calling Mi Yang, Liu Bei stretched out his hands to take the sword from the jade plate and handed it to Mi Yang:
"When I forged this sword, I wanted to be able to hold this sharp sword and kill all the villains in the world with my own hands.
It's a pity that I am getting old, and I think it will be difficult for me to go to the battlefield in the future.
However, the sword should not be stained with dust.
I present my sword to you today, hoping that you can inherit my ambition and use this sword to assist kings, defeat sycophants, and protect the people.
I have not named this sword before, but now that you are the general of Tiance, I will name this sword 'Tiance'."
After finishing speaking, Liu Bei handed the Tiance sword into Mi Yang's hand under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Faced with Liu Bei's love, Mi Yang burst into tears of gratitude, and after receiving the Tiance Sword, he quickly thanked Liu Bei deeply.
“I will definitely not disappoint His Majesty’s high expectations!
The flag of Tiance will be fluttered only for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty!"
Mi Yang's answer made Liu Bei very satisfied.
And at the moment when Mi Yang took over the Tiance Sword, Liu Bei once again announced a major decision to his ministers:
"As the prince said, General Tiance will make great contributions to the country!
In accordance with the merits of General Tiance, I today worship General Tiance as the Grand Sima, the official official of the three divisions, and the commander-in-chief of all Chinese and foreign military forces!"
With Liu Bei's wisdom, since he would give Mi Yang a huge reward in terms of fame, how could he forget about it in terms of power?
Da Sima, isn’t it coming?
