This reward has won Chen Mu's heart. For him now, he has no shortage of money and power, and the only thing he can reward is fame.
"Chen Mu, thank you Your Majesty!"
"Plain body."
When he raised his head again at this moment, the eyes of the civil and military officials looking at Chen Mu were completely different.
No matter what kind of prince, prince or minister you are, you are nothing in front of this three-clawed python robe.
When this reward is over, the figure in the hall who is less than thirty years old will be the most honorable person in this land besides the emperor.
After the series of awards were over, Chen Mu took the rewarded people back to the courtyard where they temporarily lived.
The few who followed him were all granted official titles. Huangfu was directly granted the title of earl because of the war that destroyed the country. Compared with Han Xiner's duke, it was indeed a few grades higher.
But as far as Huangfu is concerned, he is already very content. He is very aware of his own abilities. He basically relies on Chen Mu, Han Xiner, and the wily Zhang Bowen to get a title.
From the beginning to the end of this war, he was just a helper. If he hadn't followed Chen Mu, he would have had a few acres of land in the village.
It was snowing heavily in Chang'an, and Chen Mu and his party gathered in the pavilion to warm themselves up by the fire.
"A duke in his early twenties, Duke Wushuang, Han Xin'er, you have really implemented the term "unparalleled national scholar".
When Chen Mu raised this question, several people sitting around started to admire him.
"But Han Xiner's performance on the Mobei battlefield this time is worthy of this position."
"It's really a glorious ancestor."
On the contrary, Han Xin'er just smiled faintly, without any complacency in her expression.
Chen Mu has always admired Han Xin'er's disdain for worldly fame and fortune. What he pursues in his heart is always how to realize his own value. He really doesn't value official titles and money.
After chatting for a while, Chen Mu brought the topic back to the topic.
"I have talked with Liu Yuan. Japan has been causing mischief in the dark along the coast. Han Xin'er Huangfu, please take the army to station in Suzhou City. Japan may not send troops, but we cannot afford to lose. Do you understand?"
Han Xiner and Huangfu nodded: "You can go back without worries."
However, Zhang Bowen on the side remained silent. Chen Mu obviously felt that he wanted to say but did not say anything, but did not ask.
After explaining everything, Chen Mu was ready to return to Yizhou.
Compared with these tiring military and political affairs, Chen Mu still missed his small family in Yizhou more. This time he went back mainly to bring Chen Ping'an to meet Liu Si.
Then Zhang Bowen and I went out of the yard despite the heavy snow.
While walking, Chen Mu asked, "What happened just now? Do you have anything to say?"
Zhang Bowen smiled and shook his head: "Nothing."
Chen Mu glanced at him: "Forget it, don't say it if you don't want to. In this battle in Mobei, your contribution is no less than mine, but you deliberately concealed your contribution. Now I will give you nine gifts. Han Xin'er and the others
Don’t you feel uncomfortable when you are given titles and rewards, but you are still just a small local official under me?”
In the heavy snow, Zhang Bowen just smiled sarcastically: "I'm waiting for you to confer the position of chief minister of my dynasty someday. I don't like the title of a dying dynasty."
After hearing this, Chen Mubai glanced at him: "Now Liu Yuan has the spirit of a wise king in every aspect. The entire Longxia's economy and people's livelihood have been improving under his governance. Coupled with this situation,
It’s difficult for me to usurp the throne.”
After leaving the Weiyang Palace, Zhang Bowen patted the snowflakes on his body and simply said: "The power of this court has been exhausted, and it cannot be changed by human power. Besides...I made a divination a long time ago, and Chang'an is the
I am in a dangerous place, and serving as a capital official will cost me my life."
When he heard the last words that were neither human nor ghosts, Chen Mu just smiled and said nothing.
The boat had already parked by the Yellow River. Early that morning, Han Xiner specially escorted Chen Mu to the Yellow River.
"I will be here soon. If something happens, the three armies will be at your discretion. You don't need to report to me, you know?"
"As you command!"
After that, Chen Mu led a group of people onto the boat, but just when the boat was about to leave, Zhang Bowen's expression suddenly became shocked!
"Oops! I forgot my luggage in Chang'an. Brother Chen, please wait for me. There are a lot of important things in it. I have to get it."
"Let Han Xiner take you back on horseback. If you do this, you will waste another hour of my life."
After that, Zhang Bowen ran towards Chang'an City under Han Xiner's horse.
But when he returned to the yard, Zhang Bowen just casually packed a few books and went out.
When Han Xiner saw this, she was extremely confused and said: "You...is this something important?"
Zhang Bowen smiled bitterly and said, "You can only use your brain when fighting, but you didn't realize that I was specifically looking for you?"
"Sir, what do you mean?"
Zhang Bowen said as he walked out: "Brother Chen asked you to lead the army to Jiangnan this time. What do you think?"
When asked by Zhang Bowen, Han Xiner was even more confused.
"Lead... lead the troops to garrison."
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Bowen said: "There are a hundred thousand defenders in the south of the Yangtze River. If you lead the troops there rashly, you will definitely confront the Japanese main force. After the war, even if you beat the Japanese away, we still have
The strength has been greatly reduced."
When Zhang Bowen said this, Han Xiner immediately became vigilant. After careful consideration, she found that this was indeed the case.
"Sir, you are right, we must discuss it again."
After saying that, he was about to get on his horse and go to find Chen Mu, but soon he was caught by Zhang Bowen again.
"I said, why are you so single-minded? Brother Chen, that's what he actually means, but his status is different now. He is the second most distinguished person in the world. He cannot participate in such an unflattering matter. Wait.
Afterwards, we have to bear the responsibility. The main reason is that I don’t want to see us soldiers making wedding dresses for the court in vain."
Speaking of this, Zhang Bowen pretended to have a sad face, looked at Han Xiner, and said seriously: "It is not easy to train these soldiers. Sir, please tell me, what should I do?"
"It's very simple. You can delay in Fufeng for a month due to the weather, and then delay for another month on the way there. I feel that the war may happen in early spring. When the Jiangnan garrison joins the battle, we can go
help."
Hearing this, Han Xiner pondered for a moment and then nodded: "Just do as Mr. said, don't worry."
After everything was explained, Zhang Bowen was escorted by Han Xiner and headed towards the Yellow River again.
Everything was under his control. Zhang Bowen believed that the reason why he came out of the world was to take advantage of this era to stir up troubles.
As for what I just said to Han Xiner, it is just a cover. The most important thing is to use the Japanese to consume the defenders in the south of the Yangtze River, which is the last military strength of the entire Longxia.
As long as both sides suffer losses, Chen Mu will clean up the mess and quickly raise his troops to usurp the throne while Long Xia is dying. This is his ultimate goal.
He can feel that Chen Mu's desire for the throne is gradually indifferent now, but Zhang Bowen will never tolerate it. If he doesn't want to rebel and usurp the throne, he will force you to do it.
For people like Zhang Bowen, the most interesting thing in life is to train and help a person achieve hegemony. If he cannot do this, his life will be too boring.
