Chapter 825: Chaos
In Luoyang, in the Weiyang Palace, since winter has entered, charcoal fires have been lit in the main hall, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are listed on both sides. This is a major dynasty once a quarter. According to the rotation, some state pastors, governors and prefects have to come to the dynasty to pay homage to the emperor.
Report on government affairs and participate in parliamentary decision-making.
Liu Yan, Liu Biao and other important officials of the clan and the three princes were in the first row, and the states and counties were reporting on their work. Of course, the focus of this meeting was the victory in the Youzhou War, the defeat of the Goryeo Tartar invasion, and the court discussion on rewards.
At this time, Zhang Rang was reading in a high-pitched voice the military report sent by the general from Youji, as well as the meritorious deeds performed by the generals. This meritorious service report started when Qin Ge was ordered to conduct the Northern Expedition. Half of the entire military report was about Qin Ge.
Battle exploits and number of enemies defeated.
The civil and military officials throughout the court were dumbfounded, and some upright ministers couldn't help but cheer. This kind of military report had not appeared in the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and now some veterans even saw the glory of Emperor Wu's period!
However, because of the news in advance, Yuan Feng, Yuan Wei, Yang Ci, Cui Ke and other important ministers had expressionless faces. He Jin highlighted Qin Ge in the report, making Qin Ge's reputation more and more painful.
.
Liu Yan and Liu Biao closed their eyes to rest. They planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then come out to clean up the mess.
The court meeting began, and they first discussed the financial and food reimbursements of the various states. Nowadays, the Han Dynasty is riddled with holes, and the state governments have suffered losses year after year. In the past, it was the time to complain and attack each other. However, today the court meeting was unusually quiet. Everyone was waiting for the main banquet.
Big meal.
Many ministers were even a little anxious after each court meeting passed. The court today was particularly calm, which made Emperor Liu Hong feel sleepy. He yawned repeatedly and drooled while holding his chin with one hand.
"General, I would like to commend the soldiers who triumphed in the national war!" Zhang Rang's high-pitched voice rang out, and in an instant, the sound of needle drops could be heard in the hall, and even Liu Hong sat up straightly.
Zhang Rang looked at the ministers of the court, with an imperceptible joking at the corner of his mouth, and began to read out the lists of names recommended for conferment one by one. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Chunyu Qiong and others were read out one by one.
All the ministers pricked up their ears and began to brew their emotions. Finally, all the names of generals and schools were read out, and just when they were about to read Qin Ge, everyone's emotions had accumulated to the highest level and were ready to explode.
Zhang Rang cleared his delicate throat, and the waiter on the side ran over and brought a cup of tea. Zhang Rang began to moisten his throat. This sudden stop made several veterans hold their breath and felt very uncomfortable. They wanted to go up and crush this dead eunuch.
Zhang Rang wiped his mouth with a handkerchief without hesitation, took out a memorial from his sleeve and said: "Before we read the memorial for the title of Colonel Qin, we should first read a petition for war to all the ministers.
Bar!"
This made many ministers itch with hatred. This eunuch was so angry that he would not pay for his life.
Seeing that Zhang Rang started to act so secretive, Wang Yun's eyes flashed coldly, something must have changed, damn it! This guy didn't even ventilate himself.
"Qin Ge respectfully reports: I have been graced by Your Majesty..." Zhang Rang began to read out Qin Ge's petition for war from the general to the emperor.
The general idea is that Qin Ge was favored by the emperor, who let him come from a poor family in the countryside and enter the Confucian and Taoist academy to study scriptures. For him, it was like a reincarnation. He thought about how to serve the country every day. Now that the country is in war, he still feels that he can't
In order to repay the emperor's kindness, he took the initiative to ask for war and was willing to lead the army to quell the rebellion in Qingzhou.
Zhang Rang read out the petition, and Liu Hong moved his body unnaturally. Although he had already read the memorial, he deliberately arranged for Zhang Rang to read it at the court meeting.
However, when I think of Zhu Jun's evaluation of Qin Ge's "Great Han Divine Sword", this is a sharp sword that Zhu Jun used his last efforts to forge for himself. Now it has changed, and his heart is filled with emotions for a while, and even oozes from the corners of his eyes. burst into tears.
Yuan Feng, Yuan Wei, Yang Ci, Cui Ke and other important ministers looked shocked and incredulous. Their first reaction was that Qin Ge hadn't been kicked in the head by a donkey!
After narrowly escaping death, he built great achievements and did not want to enjoy high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but he decided to rush to the desperate land of Qingzhou again.
However, when many old ministers heard Qin Ge's report, they covered their faces and burst into tears.
Guan Zhong's petition for war was so sensational. Compared with Qin Ge's loyalty, these people were simply idle and messing around all day long. However, Qin Ge was so loyal and patriotic that he could be regarded as a model for all generations.
With such a loyal hero, this broken man may be able to regain his glory.
"Your Majesty! Everyone says that Qin Xiaowei has the courage of the overlord of Western Chu back then, and his performance in the national war is more than worthy of his reputation. Now the bandits in Qingzhou have sprung up, causing harm to Jizhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and they have become a serious problem for our Han Dynasty. If it is not eradicated, there may be a danger of the Yellow Turban disaster resurrecting. Qin Boxi is brave and good at fighting, and is famous in Dongyue. If he is allowed to go to Qingzhou to quell the rebellion, he will definitely be able to clear up the world and return our great Han Dynasty to a peaceful and prosperous era! I ask you to allow Qin Boxi to be loyal and loyal. Wushuang's petition for war, may my country, the Han Dynasty, be peaceful and peaceful!" Taiwei Yang Ci suddenly came out of the queue, his voice broke the silence of the court, and everyone was shocked.
Yuan Feng, Yuan Wei and other important officials reacted and agreed to Yang Ci's petition. For a while, a large number of people in the court knelt down, most of them were important officials representing the noble clan.
Nonsense, Qin Ge's petition for war at this time is simply a blessing in disguise for the nobles. If Qin Ge conquers Qingzhou, then there will no longer be hidden dangers for the two governors of Jizhou and Yuzhou.
Moreover, these important ministers such as the Yuan family, the Yang family, and the Cui family were all based in Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou. The Liangshan bandits were burning, killing, and looting everywhere, which was simply cutting off their lifeblood.
Now that Qin Ge, a fierce tiger, has taken the initiative to ask for a fight, they have seen endless hope. How could they not support this win-win situation!
Liu Yan and Liu Biao looked at each other with expressions of deep disappointment. They originally planned to let the foreign relatives and the nobles fight each other, but they stood on the shore and watched the boat capsize.
I didn't expect that there really is such a stupid person in the world. Just to repay the kindness of the emperor for letting him practice scriptures, he worked so hard that he even gave up his meritorious official position.
However, it was a good thing for the Han Dynasty that Qin Ge was able to quell the chaos in Qingzhou. Although the two were disappointed, they knelt down to express their support for Qin Ge. All the important officials of the royal family also knelt down in a large area.
Zhang Rang looked at Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and other famous scholars standing upright, and said in a harsh voice: "Master Huangfu! Master Lu! Qin Boxi is your disciple. With such a loyal and courageous petition, how can you all Don’t you agree with the great Confucian who talks about loyalty and righteousness? Could it be that he has done something wrong and is afraid of being punished by God?"
The great scholar Zhu Jun died in the Confucian and Taoist Academy. His body was covered with sores and he suffered the pain of being cut into pieces by thousands of cuts. Everyone said that he was punished by God because he killed too much.
Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi were already in grief when their old friend passed away. They didn't expect Zhang Rang, a picky dog, to be so sarcastic in the court.
Lu Zhi was furious and was about to explode, but Huangfu Song quickly stopped him. After Zhu Jun died, Confucianism and Taoism's influence in the court seemed to have lost a pillar. It was not appropriate to fight with the eunuchs now.
Huangfu Song cupped his fists and said: "Since ancient times, rewards and punishments have been clear, and the court has been clear and clear. Qin Ge has a loyal heart for the country. This is his duty, and the court should first reward him for his merits, and Qin Ge's subordinates are only a handful." With one hundred thousand troops and horses, it is impossible to pacify Qingzhou, and the imperial court must keep up with the dispatch of troops and horses. This is also the duty of the emperor and the duties of all ministers, so as to uphold the emperor's ways and clarify the duties of ministers!"
Although Zhu Jun was tortured by sores before his death, he still read reports on the national war in Northeast China every day.
Zhu Jun saw his disciple overcoming obstacles and supporting the Han Dynasty in a crisis. He left with pride. The only regret was that Qin Ge's life and death were unknown in Snow Wolf Castle at that time.
When he was dying, he specially invited Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi. The only one who was worried was this disciple, so he finally asked them to take care of him.
"Yo! Haha!" Zhang asked this guy to cover his mouth and laugh sweetly, which made all the ministers in the court goosebumps. This was simply an auditory torture.
Seeing Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi's eyes wide open with anger, and their blood vessels bulging, Zhang Rang had been fighting with the Confucian and Taoist Academy all his life, and the more proud he felt, he just wanted to tease these Confucian scholars, and said delicately: "Oh! Look! Look at our two great scholars, do they look like old hens guarding their chicks? We are not eagles! Why are you so nervous? Are you still afraid of unfair rewards and punishments from the court? Here is the general’s request for rewards! I would like to express my gratitude to you, Your Majesty. For Qin Ge's merits, according to the ancestral law, he was awarded the title of Marquis of Champion and Marquis of Shilu Township! He was granted the rank of Third-Rank Miscellaneous Capture General to control the local troops in Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou! He also served as the governor of Qingzhou and commanded the military and political departments of Qingzhou! And Please canonize the brave men under Qin Ge's account and award them to the vacant official positions in various ministries in Qingzhou to inspire the soldiers' combat bravery; General He Jin will be the commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression, and Changshui Colonel Qin Ge will be the vanguard of the bandit suppression to lead the Changshui camp. Send the Northern Army and various gallant troops as the vanguard to completely eradicate the banditry in Qingzhou!"
He Jin's edict requesting the title was read out, and the court fell silent. Qin Ge was originally a fifth-grade Changshui captain, but for having made such a great contribution, he was awarded the rank of third-grade miscellaneous general. Although he jumped a level, it can be said that of the past.
Please make Qin Ge the governor of Qingzhou. No one in Qingzhou dares to take the post now. Many people can accept Qin Ge as the governor. The vacant positions in counties and counties in Qingzhou are given to soldiers who have made meritorious service. Although it is a bit regretful, there is no objection. After all, now Even if they were given positions in Qingzhou counties, no one in the court would dare to send their own clan members to serve.
Thinking that Jiao He was half-dead and that many descendants of aristocratic families who served in prefectures and counties were chopped alive by the bandits, many people were a little trembling with fear.
It's just that this title has a special meaning. Anyone who obtains this title will be the successor of the future general and hussar general, and will have the right to command private soldiers and build a government. Many important officials in the court are unhappy, but now They still expected Qin Ge to go to Qingzhou to suppress the bandits, so they all remained silent.
Liu Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and glanced at the emperor, broke the silence in the court and stood up and said: "Your Majesty! Qin Ge asked for merit before, and now there is a recommendation from the general. It would be best if Qin Ge could single-handedly put an end to the chaos in Qingzhou. If not, there is no one in the world who is more capable of fighting and braver than Qin Ge. If he guards Qingzhou, he can at least eliminate the banditry to a large extent! I have no objection to the general's submission, and I suggest you grant him the title!"
The important ministers in the court saw the support of the clan and looked up to see the emperor sitting on the dragon throne with glaring eyes. How could they not understand that Qin Ge's reward had been approved by the emperor and the general, and the eunuchs had also agreed to support it. Now the clan members of the Han clan seconded it.
, so they could only respond one after another.
Emperor Liu Hong saw the ministers kneeling in the court, holding the armrests of the dragon chair with his plump hands, and kept his spirits up to keep his voice calm and said: "While conferring Qin Aiqing the title of champion, in accordance with the ancestral precepts of Emperor Wu, Qin Ge is given
As a tiger under the emperor, I will be named the 'Big Tiger of the Han Dynasty', and I will bring peace to the world and revitalize the country!"
