Chapter 93: Award
Most of the people in the hall looked a little unnatural, especially Yuan Shu, Kong Rong, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Ma Teng. While they were surprised, they seemed to be a little angry.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the side door, where they saw a beautiful queen mother wearing palace robes and a phoenix crown leading a child emperor.
When he reached the top of the throne, Liu Bian sat on the dragon chair, while Queen Mother He sat beside him. At this time, the eunuch just sang again: "All the ministers salute!"
Yuan Shu suddenly shouted: "This is wrong! Everyone in the world knows that the young emperor was killed by Dong Zhuo and has gone crazy, but the young boy in front of him is clearly fine! Could it be that someone wants Li Daitao to change the situation?!"
Seeing Yuan Shu's fierce attitude, Liu Bian shrank his neck in fear and did not dare to say a word. Queen Mother He glanced at Yuan Shu with a cold face and said to everyone present: "I also plan to explain this matter to everyone present.
Previously, when Dong's thieves brought disaster to Luoyang, I had no choice but to use others to pretend to be the emperor to deal with Dong's thieves, while secretly sending the real emperor out of the palace and hiding it among the people. Therefore, the person who was harmed by Dong's thieves was not the real emperor, but a prince.
Just a little eunuch accompanying the emperor.
Not long ago, I entrusted the Fourth Young Master of the Yuan family to find the emperor's son, so he appears here. The emperor's son is fine, and it can be said that it is all thanks to God's blessing!"
Everyone started talking in low voices. Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "One-sided words, who knows whether they are true or false!..."
Zhang Lang took a step forward and shouted: "Yuan Shu, don't you think you are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor by talking to the Queen Mother like this?!"
Yuan Shu's heart was shocked and he was speechless. His face was filled with gloom and yang. This Yuan Shu was not a clumsy eloquent person, but as a minister, he really violated a taboo by speaking like this, which made him unable to defend himself at all.
Argument.
Cao Cao cupped his fists and bowed to Queen Mother He: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Master Yuan Shu was just impatient for a moment, and he had no intention of disrespecting the Queen Mother. Please forgive me!"
Sun Jian and Gongsun Zan also came out to plead for Yuan Shu.
When Yuan Shu saw someone interceding on his behalf, he quickly bowed to the Queen Mother He and said, "I just made a mistake, please forgive me!"
Empress Dowager He cast a grateful look at Zhang Lang, and then said to Yuan Shu: "That's all, I will not pursue this matter." After a pause, she continued: "Everything I just said is true. If there is any lies, I am willing to do so.
If you are struck by lightning from the sky, you will die badly!"
Everyone was shocked. They did not expect that Queen Mother He would dare to make such a poisonous oath.
Yuan Shu hesitated for a moment, clasped his fists and said: "We have the guts to advise the Queen Mother. Whether your Majesty is still the same as before is of great importance. Please allow everyone present to identify it carefully, so as to eliminate everyone's doubts!
"
Yuan Shu still didn't believe that the current Liu Bian was the former Liu Bian, so he still refused to give up. In his opinion, the majesty in front of him was definitely someone Yuan Shao had found to impersonate him in order to seize the greatest power, so he wanted to expose this in public.
a little.
Because although Yuan Shao is the strongest among the princes, he still cannot cover the sky with one hand. At that time, we can use this as an opportunity to join forces with Sun Jian, Cao Cao and others to interrogate Yuan Shao, at least forcing him to withdraw from Luoyang.
As for the others, there is nothing to fear. In front of their huge military power and in the name of justice, who dares to side with Yuan Shao and ask for trouble?
Yuan Shao stared at Yuan Shu coldly and said nothing.
Empress Dowager He glanced at everyone present and said: "It's better to clarify this matter now! Mr. Cao and others, as well as Wang Yun and other lords, all know the emperor. Do you think I am a real emperor or a fake?
?”
After saying that, he took Liu Bian's little hand and stood up, leading him down the jade steps and into the middle of the hall.
"If you don't believe it, you can check it carefully!"
When everyone saw Queen Mother He acting like this, they were already half convinced. Wang Yun and other people who knew Liu Bian carefully looked at Liu Bian, and Liu Bian looked very uneasy.
Yuan Shu was very nervous and looked at Wang Yun, Cao Cao and others with concern. He did not know Liu Bian, and nothing he said would convince others, so he expected Wang Yun, Cao Cao and others to give him the answer he hoped for.
Finally, Wang Yun bowed solemnly to Liu Bian, and then said to everyone: "It is indeed your Majesty, no doubt! Previously, I thought that the so-called Your Majesty was different from the His Majesty in my impression, but now I finally understand what is going on!"
Other ministers who knew Liu Bian also said that the emperor in front of him was the real emperor, and even Cao Cao confirmed this.
At this point, no one doubted it anymore, and Liu Bian was recognized by everyone.
Yuan Shu's face was pale. He couldn't help but look at Yuan Shao, who was glancing over with a proud smile, feeling extremely depressed.
Yuan Shao ignored Yuan Shu and bowed to Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian with clasped fists and said, "Your Majesty will come back and we can hope to revive the great Han Dynasty!"
Others reacted and bowed to the frightened child in front of them: "Your Majesty has returned, and we can hope to revive the great nation!"
Queen Mother He glanced at the people in front of her, her red lips opened and closed: "With your help, the emperor, this man will have a bright future!" Then she led Liu Bian back to the dragon throne and sat down.
Empress Dowager He took out a roll of imperial edict from her sleeve and said loudly: "Luoyang is back, everyone here is a minister of meritorious service! Now I will read out the list of rewards for Your Majesty to reward your loyal ministers."
Everyone looked at the imperial edict in the hands of Queen Mother He, with eager expressions in their eyes.
Yuan Xi couldn't help but glance at Zhang Lang standing opposite, sneered and murmured: "A bitch is a bitch, and you don't deserve today's reward!"
Jiao Chu, who was standing next to Yuan Xi, cast a malicious look at Zhang Lang, and then whispered to Yuan Xi: "After the imperial edict is read out, the second young master will be a legitimate and important minister. Then I will teach that bitch a lesson, and his expression will be determined."
It will be very exciting!”
Yuan Xi couldn't help but laugh, imagining Zhang Lang surrendering in front of him. His whole body became excited and impatient!
"...I specially ennoble Duke Yuan as the prime minister, in charge of all affairs in the court, and at the same time give Duke Bohai the ability to enter the palace with swords and shoes, and praise and worship without recognition..."
There was a slight commotion among the ministers, because such a reward was extremely heavy, exceeding many people's expectations.
"Wang Yun was canonized as Taishi. Cao Cao was canonized as a former general and led the herdsman of Yanzhou. Sun Jian was canonized as a general of the left and led as a pastor of Yangzhou. Gongsun Zan was canonized as a general of the right and led as a pastor of Liangzhou..."
Empress Dowager He continued to read out, and all the princes and important officials in the court received varying degrees of rewards. Especially those princes, the promotions they received were huge and astonishing. Although many of them were just titles, they were of great significance.
In this way, even if someone is dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, there is no way to oppose him at this moment, because in this case, opposing Yuan Shao is tantamount to opposing himself? No one would do such a stupid thing.
For Yuan Shao, such a large reward is also necessary. This is to pave the way for him to truly control Luoyang and control the government. Otherwise, if all the princes start jumping around, things will be difficult to handle.
"Canonize Yuan Xi..." After Queen Mother He read out the awards to the princes and ministers, it was finally Yuan Xi's turn to Zhang Lang and the others.
Yuan Xi opened his eyes wide, with an excited look on his face, and couldn't help but cast a contemptuous sneer at Zhang Lang.
