Chapter 316 The beginning of chaos

At this time, the emperor Liu Fuling in the palace was also asking the ministers for political advice.

Because Huo Guang was still dealing with the aftermath of the Wang Family Rebellion, only Shangguan Jie, Sang Hongyang and Jin Rixi entered the palace at this time.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the princes to confer the title of Marquis of Yunyanghou Junzi Huan?"

Emperor Liu Fuling looked puzzled and said

Shangguan Jie smiled when he heard this and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Is this just to appease Marquis Yunyang?"

Liu Fulin said, "Is that really true?"

Sang Hongyang stood up and said, "Your Majesty is so smart that by conferring the title of Marquis on Zhang Huan, you are also beating the Marquis of Yunyang!"

Liu Fuling said, "Marquis Yunyang opened up the Western Regions and was a hero of the Han Dynasty. Why is this so?"

Shangguan Jie said, "The Protector of the Western Regions is hanging outside alone...Is this just a reminder to Marquis Yunyang of the ways of a monarch and his ministers?"

Just as Liu Fuling was about to speak, Shangguan Jie said first, "Thunder and rain are a sign of your grace. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry!"

Liu Fulin nodded when he heard this and did not continue to speak.

At this time, Jin Rixi had a thoughtful expression on his face.

Although he did not agree with making Zhang Huan a marquis, he did not express any objection.

But the most puzzling thing is that the general Huo Guang also did not object to making Zhang Huan a marquis.

Huo Guang acted like this, but all the princes in Chang'an were confused.

Three days passed by in a blink of an eye, but today was the day when Zhang Huan was officially canonized as a prince.

Zhang Huan stood in the front hall of Weiyang Palace and couldn't help but think of Master Zhang Yue.

But Huangmen's voice soon brought him back to reality.

"Er Dang..."

"I respectfully obey the imperial edict!"

Zhang Huan acted step by step and followed etiquette.

The emperor encouraged Zhang Huan as usual, and the ceremony began step by step.

Because Zhang Huan was not a military meritorious prince, the ceremony of canonization was much lower than that of Zhang Yue in the past.

Although the Grand Sima General Huo Guang and the Prime Minister Che Qianqiu did not participate, the basic etiquette was still carried out in accordance with the due etiquette.

This time, Da Xingling was also responsible for leading the ceremony and presiding over the ceremony...

As the music officials rang the bells on both sides of the hall, played the drums, harp and sheng, and played the accompaniment song "Han Yi" for the title of marquis, Guang Luxun began to read out the policy for the title of marquis aloud.

"Wuxu Day, October 18, the second year of the First Yuan Dynasty."

"Zhang Huan made the imperial edict...the Marquis of Guangping!"

After the complicated canonization ceremony, the emperor summoned Zhang Huan alone.

"You are Zhang Huan, the Marquis of Yunyang?"

Although Zhang Huan was canonized as Marquis of Guangping, the young emperor still called Zhang Huan the Marquis of Yunyang.

Zhang Huan didn't care about this, but Huang Menling on the side quickly reminded him.

"Your Majesty shall be called Marquis of Guangping!"

Liu Fuling heard this and said to Zhang Huan, "I am rude. Don't blame Marquis Guangping..."

Zhang Huan heard this and paid homage with great salute, "Your Majesty is serious. I am the Marquis of Yunyang..."

The emperor nodded, "The Marquis of Guangping is still in the Orphan Army now?"

Zhang Huandao said, "This is your Majesty's order. The Kuang Orphan Army is your Majesty's own army...it is really my luck!"

Next, the emperor asked Zhang Huan some questions, but Zhang Huan just answered them casually.

Although Zhang Huan was young, he knew in his heart that this was not the time to invite favors. Zhang's best choice was to hide his clumsiness.

After the emperor asked a few more questions, he gradually lost his patience.

Soon Zhang Huan was sent out of the Xuanshi Palace by the emperor.

When leaving the propaganda room, the emperor gave Zhang Huan a pair of armor and a ring-headed sword.

However, after Zhang Huan left, the emperor sighed, "The Marquis of Guangping is not as good as his lord!"

Zhang Huan was overjoyed after learning the emperor's evaluation.

Although the emperor didn't think highly of Zhang Huan, he still deserved the honor and favor he deserved.

On that day, the emperor held a banquet for Zhang Huan in the palace, and Zhang Huan also met the ministers and princes as equals for the first time.

…

When Zhang Huan left the palace, it was already the second watch.

Because the emperor was worried about Zhang Huan's safety, he specially arranged for the guards in Ji Zhe's palace to escort Zhang Huan back to his residence.

"Thank you, sir!"

Outside the Yunyang Hou Mansion, Zhang Huan thanked the poet and guards who sent him back to his home.

"Second and third sons, please come into the house and rest!"

Zhang Huan invited.

Both the poet and the palace guards said, "Thank you so much, sir. I need to return to the palace to give orders..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huan had no choice but to order Zhang Kun to give some gifts to everyone.

After the poet and the guards left happily, Zhang Huan turned around and left the house.

"Greetings to the Lord!"

Everyone congratulated Zhang Huan with joy.

At this time, Zhang Huan was the only one with a smile on his face, but there was no joy in his heart.

"reward……"

Despite this, Zhang Huan still greatly rewarded everyone in the mansion.

"How does Zhang Jiacheng think so-and-so should act?"

After the servants dispersed, Zhang Huan solemnly asked Zhang Kun for advice.

Zhang Kun thought for a while and then said, "A gentleman should invite Pao Ze and the general family in the mansion to have a banquet!"

Zhang Huan heard this and said, "Cai, we still need to ask Zhang Jiacheng to handle this matter!"

Zhang Kun bowed and said, "A gentleman should immediately submit a letter asking him to return to Yunyang!"

Zhang Huan was stunned when he heard this, "Why is that so?"

Zhang Kun said, "Be at peace outside!"

Zhang Huan was shocked when he heard this, "What does the Prime Minister mean, is there still unrest in Chang'an?"

Zhang Kun looked around and whispered, "Have the generals and generals of chariots and cavalry spoken out in support of the gentleman becoming a marquis?"

Zhang Huan shook his head, "I haven't heard of this!"

Having said this, Zhang Huan suddenly realized.

At this time, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat, "Thank you so much, Mr. Eunuch!" He said as he was about to salute Zhang Kun.

Zhang Kun quickly stood up, hugged Zhang Huan, and said excitedly, "Why is a gentleman like this? A servant is just a lackey under the king's sect..."

The next day, Zhang Huan hosted a banquet in honor of the military commander Pao Ze and the Tong family in accordance with Zhang Kun's instructions.

During the banquet, everyone kept congratulating Zhang Huan.

Although Zhang Huan has long understood the truth, he still feels a little bit carried away.

After everyone left, Zhang Huan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At the same time, he also secretly warned himself that he should learn from adults and not be surprised by favors or humiliations.

Lying on the bed at night, Zhang Huan couldn't help but feel filled with emotion as he thought about what he had experienced in the past few days.

He muttered: "Do Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang really want to seize power from Huo Guang?"

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep, so he simply got up from the bed.

Zhang Huan took out the gilt-bronze talisman he got today. It was a certificate of appointment and a symbol of power.

The seal is engraved on it: "I inherit the order of heaven and observe the ancient times, and establish you as a monarch. Make the river like a belt and Mount Tai like a strong one. The country will be in eternal peace, and the Miao descendants will be in love."

Looking at the words above, Zhang Huan kept thinking about what Zhang Yue once said to him.

"Huan'er, you are the representative of the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion in Chang'an and the Protectorate of the Western Regions in Chang'an..."

"Although you are young, you need to be cautious in everything you say and do...especially Shangguan Jie and Huo Guang..."

Zhang Huan couldn't help but sigh at this moment, "Your Excellency, this is really a clever plan!"

…

At the same time, in the Yunyang Hou Mansion in Luntai, Western Regions, Yang You was also discussing Chang'an government affairs with Zhang Yue.

"The prince is really a master of miraculous calculations!"

Zhang Yue shook his head when he heard this and sighed, "This is not a blessing for the great man!"
