Chen Yuan immediately understood the thoughts of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, but Chen Yuan did not object immediately.

It's not that Chen Yuan cares about the title of a marquis, but he wants to consider the consequences if he rejects Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

The most obvious consequence is that you, Chen Yuan, have two ambitions.

What do you mean when my majestic emperor gives you a title of marquis and you don't want it?

Do you look down on me? Or do you look down on this Liangxiang Hou?

Therefore, it is impossible to refuse, you can only accept it.

As for whether there will be any estrangement between Liu Bei and Liu Bei after taking over.

Chen Yuan believed that Liu Bei would not be that stupid.

If he was really that stupid, it would be impossible for Guan Yu to return.

Historically, the treatment Guan Yu received from Cao Cao was no worse than Chen Yuan's current treatment.

Guan Yu's Han Shoutinghou was also invited by Cao Cao for him.

At this time, Liu Bei was still hanging out with Yuan Shao.

If Liu Bei was really suspicious of Guan Yu, he would not have flooded the Seventh Army and shocked China.

Therefore, since Liu Bei was not suspicious of Guan Yu, he would not be suspicious of Chen Yuan either.

After all, Chen Yuan's wife and father-in-law are both in Xiangyang.

However, as a result, some plans are completely disrupted and need to be rearranged.

However, in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

To be honest, Chen Yuan wanted to keep Luoyang when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, but it might be beyond his reach in Jingzhou alone.

If Chen Yuan was in Luoyang, there would be much room for maneuver.

After thinking about it, Chen Yuan bowed to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and said: "Your Majesty is so kind to you. If Yuan refuses again, it will appear that Yuan is ignorant of the heaven and earth. In this case, Yuan will be ashamed to accept it."

Chen Yuan didn't do any tricks of making concessions and concessions because he didn't need to.

Now that Chen Yuan is standing on the moral high ground, he can do things more casually.

As long as it doesn't go too far against the world's ideas, you basically have nothing to fear from public opinion attacks.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and Liu Qing were relieved when they saw Chen Yuan agreed.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty even smiled: "It's so good, it's so good."

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty seemed to have thought of something: "Do you have a residence in Luoyang, sir?"

Chen Yuan nodded, probably guessing what Han Ling Emperor wanted to do.

It's nothing more than building a big house for yourself.

Sure enough, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty waved his hand: "Sir, you are a marquis, how can you not have a residence in Luoyang?"

After saying that, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty shouted: "Zhang Rang, come in."

Although Zhang Rang was a little far away, he still heard it.

Hearing Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty calling him, Zhang Rang arrived at the door of the hall in a few flashes, and then walked in: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty asked directly: "Are there any uninhabited mansions in Luoyang?"

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty asked a somewhat general question, but Zhang Rang immediately understood the meaning.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty asked about the official residence.

That is, the house that the government says it owns.

There are two types here, one is owned by the Shaofu, which is the property of the royal family.

One is owned by the Dasi Agricultural Bureau and is the property of the imperial court.

Houses like this owned by the Shaofu are generally used by the Liu family and are not suitable for Chen Yuan.

Therefore, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty must be asking about the house below the Dasi Agricultural Office.

Zhang Rang knew this.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are currently thirty-six empty houses under the Department of Agriculture, four Marquis Mansion, and thirty-three remaining houses."

"What are the origins of those three princely mansions?"

"Xinxihou's Mansion, Anfenghou's Mansion, Xianqinhou's Mansion and Champion's Mansion."

The Marquis of Xinxi is Ma Yuan, the Marquis of Anfeng is Dou Rong, and the Marquis of Xianqin is Dou Gu.

These three can all be said to be famous generals and good ministers.

Let’s not talk about Ma Yuan. The name of the corpse wrapped in horse leather will be passed down through the ages.

Dou Rong was originally a warlord at the end of Wang Mang's new dynasty, but later he surrendered to Liu Xiu, and he brought the five counties of Hexi to surrender.

Therefore, this person's merits are very great, and he is also good at doing things, so he has a good death.

Dou Gu is Dou Rong's grandson.

This man was capable of both military and political affairs. He broke through the Western Regions militarily and spread the power of the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions again.

It laid the foundation for Dou Xian to conquer Shi Yanran in the future.

The champion is Dou Xian.

I want to mention here that Dou Xian has always been compared with Huo Qubing.

Because the two people's life backgrounds and achievements are very similar, and even their titles are the same: Champion.

However, the obvious difference is that this person is not as simple as Huo Qubing. He wants to be a powerful minister.

Dou Xian defeated the Xiongnu and became famous.

So Geng Kui and Ren Shang were his minions, Deng Die and Guo Huang were his confidants, and Ban Gu and Fu Yi were appointed as the shogunate.

At that time, many officials such as governors and governors came out of his house.

The minister's servants shot Zhi Shou and Le Hui committed suicide one after another because they violated Dou Xian's wishes.

The courtiers were frightened and looked to the wind to carry out the decree.

At this time, Dou Xian was as powerful as an emperor.

Needless to say, the outcome was horrific and the Dou family was completely wiped out.

Let’s not talk about this man’s character, just talk about his achievements. The four wars against the Northern Huns directly caused the Northern Huns to disappear from the historical scene, and the historical records are missing.

According to the British historian Edward Gibbon in "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire", at that time "these Huns who fled from the victorious enemy" adopted the strategy of "turning to the west".

They first made a long-distance raid to the Black Sea and Danube River areas in Europe, and then, together with the indigenous Goths here, continued to invade westward until they came to Rome, which ultimately led to the ancient empire "becoming stronger under the influence of many 'barbarians'"

"Under military pressure", it collapsed.

In other words, Dou Xian indirectly led to the demise of the Roman Empire.

From this point of view, this person's achievements can be regarded as shining through the ages.

We cannot deny his achievements just because he is arrogant and domineering.

Of course, in this era, Dou Xian's reputation is very bad, and denying Dou Xian is also politically correct.

Therefore, after listening to Zhang Rang's words, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty said: "Sir, what do you think of this Prince's Mansion?"

Chen Yuan thought for a while: "Your Majesty, I wonder if it is possible to give the champion's palace to the minister?"

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was immediately stunned.

"Sir, you must know that this champion is not the Huo Qiaoqi who sealed the wolf's place in Xu."

Chen Yuan nodded: "Wei Chen naturally knows that this champion should be Dou Xian and Dou Bodu, who suppressed Shi Yanran."

"Since you know this, sir, why did you choose this evil house?"

Yes, in the eyes of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the mansion Dou Xian lived in was an evil mansion.

To be honest, no one has lived in this champion house since Dou Xian's death. Thanks to the government, there are always people to keep it clean, otherwise it would have been abandoned long ago.

However, the furniture inside was also from a long time ago.

Generally speaking, the champion house is not as good as the other houses.

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Don't you know that the mountain is not high, if there is an immortal, it will be famous; if the water is not deep, if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. This is a humble house, but I am virtuous."

Good guy, Chen Yuan was so pretentious that he shocked the emperor and Liu Qing.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty exclaimed in admiration: "Sir, you are indeed a moral gentleman. How can you be afraid of a mere evil government?"

Chen Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "Your Majesty is overly complimentary. I just don't want such a great mansion to go to waste. I believe that after what I have done, this mansion will not be vacant in the future."

Chen Yuan wants to support this mansion with his own reputation.

In reality?

In fact, Chen Yuan felt that the champion's house must be bigger than the others.
