Li Er asked: "Is there any news about Hou Qing's family from Youzhou?"
Hou Junji looked troubled and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, since General Qin sent the news from Zhuozhou ten days ago, there has been no news. Also, the Ministry of War sent a total of more than 20 waves of people to Youzhou to inquire about the news.
But until now, no one has come back, and no one has seen Fei Ge delivering messages. Even Liu Wentong, the governor of Zhuozhou who used to communicate with Fei Ge in the imperial court, has disappeared... Youzhou seems to be isolated from the rest of the world.
"
"It's over!"
"Something is wrong!"
"I'm afraid it's going to be more difficult than ever."
"Yes, Youzhou is the territory of the Lu family. The Lu family has been planning for a long time. It appears that there are 200,000 troops, but I'm afraid there are already a million people. General Qin only has 30,000 troops, so he is outnumbered."
When everyone heard this, they were all frightened and talking about it.
Li Er asked again: "Is there any news about Du He and King Shu?"
Hou Junji shook his head.
Someone said: "From what I see, Prince Consort Du and His Highness the King of Shu may have died for their country. The Lu family's 120,000 troops surrounded Fanyang County. Even if Du Ma and His Highness the King of Shu had wings, they would not be able to fly. Please
Your Majesty, my condolences!"
"Condolences!"
"Your Majesty, please express your condolences!"
"Du He is a good boy!" Wang Gui wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Chen Shuda nodded: "Yes, I never liked Du He before, but now, I admire him as a man."
"What our Tang Dynasty lacks most is warriors like this."
For a time, the sad atmosphere in the hall was particularly thick.
Li Er stood up and said: "The King of Shu is my son. He died a worthy death. He died for the Li family and did not dishonor the face of our ancestors. Du He...I am sorry for Keming..."
He looked into the crowd.
There is an empty spot in the front.
Du Ruhui has not come to court for several days.
Li Er paused and continued: "I am determined to make Du He the Duke of Pingguo. What do you think?"
"I have no objection!"
Everyone said in unison.
Li Er nodded: "Zhongshu immediately drafted the edict. Let's issue it now."
Fang Xuanling agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Er added: "My dear friends, the Lu family's rebellion seems to be a serious matter. Next, the court must have a countermeasure. In view of this, I have decided to issue another decree. All the people of the Tang Dynasty are willing to join the army and suppress it.
Rebels of the Lu family can be rewarded for their military merits. Anyone, regardless of high or low, who kills one enemy will be rewarded with a hundred guan. Those who kill ten enemies will be rewarded with a thousand guan.
, be made a general of the eighth rank, who recovers one county, a general of the sixth rank, who recovers ten counties, be made a general of the fifth rank, and be granted the title of baron, and whoever recovers Youzhou City is made a general of the fourth rank, and is granted the title of viscount... My dear friends,
What do you think?"
The system of military honors has been used in all dynasties since the founding of the Qin Dynasty.
Of course, it is useful when you are conquering the world, but when the world is peaceful, it will gradually fade away.
Since His Majesty Li Er came to the throne, there has not been such a generous reward.
Now His Majesty Li Er mentioned it again, but he was eager to solve the Lu rebellion.
At this juncture, no one objected.
Passed unanimously.
Not long after, two edicts were issued.
The first edict was to confer Du He the title of Duke of Pingguo, with an estate of 3,000 households, and the title would be hereditary.
The second edict is to issue rewards to county officials.
The two edicts quickly caused an uproar in Chang'an.
In the streets and alleys, people were talking a lot.
"Du He is dead! He was granted the title of Duke Ping."
"such a pity……"
"I'm going to join the army and make a fortune!"
Similar discussions continue to appear on the streets of Chang'an City.
At the same time, an inconspicuous group of troops had entered Hu County.
Li Ke followed Du He slowly on horseback and asked: "Teacher, we have made such great achievements, why don't we go to Chang'an City to ask for credit as soon as possible? Why do we come to Hu County?"
Du He's four eyelids were fighting: "Your Highness, I am too anxious to eat hot tofu. Besides, the credit belongs to us and no one can take it away. I really can't do it anymore. I want to go back to sleep first."
With that said, Du He rode away.
Li Ke looked back.
Everyone in the entire mighty army was calm.
No one cares about the credit this time.
"This is what the teacher said. A real man can deal with it calmly even if the sky falls. It seems that the gang of thieves in Guancheng Brigade need to be trained again."
Prince Consort's Mansion.
Du He was driven up the mountain by Xu Zhengdao and ghosts and gods.
As a rich man who is accustomed to a luxurious life, Du He is not used to riding a horse. Even if it is an extremely luxurious carriage, he has been unable to bear it for a long time from Youzhou to Hu County. His body is as if it is falling apart. If it were not for
Xu Zhengdao and the guardians of ghosts and gods carried him up, but it was difficult for him to even go up the mountain.
Finally arrived at the gate of the Prince Consort's Mansion.
From a distance, I saw four beautiful women standing at the door to greet him.
From left to right, they are Princess Li Yuanshu of Runan, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, Mo Yifei and Cheng Yiyue.
The four girls looked at Du He with affection and tears in their eyes.
When they saw Du He being carried over, Li Yuanshu and Li Lizhi rushed over.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
"Are you injured?"
The two asked with concern.
Cheng Yiyue and Mo Yifei also rushed over, looking concerned but unable to speak.
Du He waved his hand: "You two ladies, don't worry. It's just a long journey and a lot of fatigue. The person who wants to hurt me hasn't been born yet!"
Li Yuanshu looked up and down, and sure enough, Du He was not injured.
The big stone of worry in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Then, he looked at Du He affectionately and with a peach blossom face: "Husband, you have been gone for a month, it's time to hand in your homework."
Li Lizhi also came over and grabbed Du He's arm: "Yes, husband, I will make up for all the last nights and todays of this month."
With that said, the two girls took Du He from Xu Zhengdao and Guishen, and helped him towards the Prince Consort's Mansion.
Hand in homework?
What does it mean?
Others don't understand.
But Du He was familiar with this code.
His hands were trembling, and he screamed: "Oh, no, ladies, I can't move because of my husband, I'm going to fall apart."
But the two princesses couldn't care less about this, so they picked up Du He and walked inside.
Xu Zhengdao and the ghosts and gods ran away quickly.
Lu Bu stood there, motionless.
Snapped.
Chen Xiyuan stamped Lu Bu and said angrily: "Idiot, why don't you take me to the house where you live?"
"oh!"
Lu Bu picked up Chen Xiyuan and walked away not far away.
Only Mo Yifei and Cheng Yiyue were left at the scene.
Cheng Yiyue held the sword in her arms and curled her lips and said, "Humph, during the day, Du He belongs to them, and at night, Du He belongs to me..."
Swish.
Before she finished speaking, Cheng Yiyue had already used Qing Gong and disappeared.
But Mo Yifei stood there, stamped her feet, picked up a stone, and hit the rabbit that was grazing in the corner, "Damn Du He, I made people worry about you for a month in vain..."
