Chapter Fifteen Give a Gift(1/2)
"Two generals, can the seven of them be properly accommodated?"
"Don't worry, brother, we went to pick up all their wives, children, and children last night, and sent more than a thousand soldiers to escort them back to Changsha."
Early the next morning, when Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others returned, Wen Du came to ask about the situation.
"Is there anything unusual about his family? For example, resistance or something?"
"Of course there is. After all, we have to stay away from our homeland and go to a strange place. But there is nothing we can do. Staying here will only lead to death. We can only wait and slowly calm down..."
While the three of them were talking, a young eunuch came in.
"Generals, is General Sun here?"
"My Lord is resting. May I ask why my father-in-law is here?"
"It's like this. Your Majesty is going to hold an early morning pilgrimage in the main hall of the Pass. I hereby invite all generals to come and see the Holy Spirit."
"I understand. I will inform the lord for an audience later. I'll bother you, father-in-law."
"It doesn't matter, let's go and inform the other generals first."
"Father-in-law, walk slowly"
After the young eunuch left, Wen Du and the others immediately woke up Sun Jian. After finishing cleaning up, the four of them walked towards the lobby...
"Hey! Brother Seti!"
On the way, Zhang Fei's loud voice reached the ears of four people.
"General Zhang, you are so energetic so early in the morning."
"Brother, don't be so polite, just call me Yide"
"Okay, Brother Yide!"
"Hahahahaha, I, Mr. Zhang, like bold people."
"Do the three generals also want to meet the Holy Spirit? It just so happens that we are traveling together."
Sun Jian invited the three of them to go together, but Liu Bei refused.
"Thanks to Brother Wentai's invitation, it's just that the three brothers and I who came here this time are not princes or generals, and we don't have any soldiers. We are just in the favor of my senior brother, General Gongsun, and have become his pawns, so we can come to join the alliance.
, Besides, I haven’t accomplished anything in defeating the thieves this time, so what qualifications do I have to sit on the same couch with all the princes? But since we meet again, I would like to ask the four generals to take my second brother with them. If you can seal a
With one official position and one half job, Nabei's face will naturally shine."
Upon hearing Liu Bei's request, Guan Yu immediately retorted.
"Guan Mou killed the traitor Hua Xiong to live up to the trust of his eldest brother and his third brother. If he wants to go, the three brothers should go together, otherwise Guan Mou will not fight for this official position!"
After Guan Yu finished speaking, Huang Gai spoke frankly.
"I once heard that the three generals were sworn friends in that peach garden. When I saw them today, what they said was true. Huang admires them!"
"That's not right, brother Xuande, you obviously have meritorious service, why are you so humble?"
"Have you prepared enough for yourself?"
Liu Bei obviously didn't understand what Wen Du meant by Gong, but Wen Du didn't explain much.
"The three generals can come with us to the temple to meet the saint. If anyone makes things difficult, I will have something to say!"
"this……"
"Brother Xuande has no worries. Since Seti dares to speak so bluntly, he must have an idea in mind. I fully understand this."
Seeing that Liu Bei was still hesitating, Sun Jian immediately gave him a reassurance.
"That being the case, I would like to thank the four generals."
…………
"The Marquis of Wucheng and the Governor of Changsha, Sun Jian, have an audience."
"Your Majesty, Sun Jian, comes to see you."
"I will see you, Your Majesty."
"Dear ladies, please get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Sun Aiqing, I heard that as the vanguard general of the Allied Forces, you personally led the army to attack the Xiliang army, captured Baima Camp, and forced the rebel Dong Zhuo. I am very relieved to have such a loyal minister in the Han Dynasty, and I have decided to confer a title on Sun Aiqing.
He is a hussar general, with a golden seal and purple ribbon, and his position is the same as the Third Duke."
"I thank God for his grace!"
When Sun Jian heard that he had been promoted to an official position, he knelt down excitedly again and kowtowed to the emperor.
"Sun Aiqing, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
Afterwards, Sun Jian knelt down on a mat, and Cheng Pu and Huang Gai knelt down behind him. However, Wen Du couldn't bear to kneel down and sat down on the floor with his legs crossed.
Now there are only three people, Liu Guan and Zhang, left in the lobby.
"Aren't you and the other three generals of General Sun?"
"Your Majesty, the three of them are not someone's generals, but close friends of the ministers.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He also made great contributions in this battle against Dong."
"Oh? The three generals looked very angry. I wonder which force they belong to? What are their official positions?"
"Your Majesty, the three Caomin people have not joined the officialdom. They just heard that the princes allied forces to challenge Dong, so my three brothers came to join the alliance in order to do their best."
"I really didn't expect that besides Sun Aiqing, there would be such a righteous man for the country and the people. It is really a blessing for me! Tell me, what reward do the three heroes want? If they can achieve it, I will definitely reward them!"
"Reply to Your Majesty, Liu Bei, a common man, has neither soldiers nor horses to fight Dong's thieves. He really cannot be called a hero, so he dare not ask for anything. However, my second brother Guan Yu killed the opposing vanguard general Hua Xiong for the coalition forces. I beg your Majesty.
Just give Guan Yu a reward."
"Ai Qing, you are being humble. Even if you have not accomplished anything, I should reward you just because you dare to fight against Dong's thieves as a common man. If such a righteous man is shamed, won't the people of the Han Dynasty laugh at me? So the reward is
must!"
"It all depends on your Majesty's reward!"
After hearing this, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty fell into deep thought, and Wang Yun next to him opened his mouth to give advice.
"Your Majesty, the three martyrs killed the enemy for the country, and Guan Yu even killed the enemy general. Therefore, I believe that the official position should not be too low. It is better to choose from the seventh-grade official position. It can not only reward the martyrs, but also show the emperor's grace to the world.
, in order to attract more righteous people to become officials."
"What Wang Aiqing said makes sense. I wonder if Wang Aiqing has already made a choice?"
"Since the three righteous men have no power, I recommend that Guan Yu be commended as Tiger General and the other two be appointed as partial generals to protect His Majesty's safety."
"Okay, just follow what I love you say"
"I wonder if the three righteous men are willing to serve? To protect me?"
"I'm waiting to thank God for his kindness"
"I love you, please take your seat quickly."
…………
"My dear friends, who has any other books to report?"
Emperor Xian asked, and his uncle Dong Cheng stood up.
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, a country cannot live without a king for a day. Now that Thief Dong has been brought to justice, we should consider returning to the capital."
"Dong Aiqing's intention is what I have in mind, but now Luoyang has been burned down by a fire and Chang'an has long been in ruins. Which capital should I return to?"
Speaking of this, Emperor Xian felt like he was about to cry... Then an old minister stood up and spoke.
"Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to find a place to go to court. There are many pedestrians passing by Hangu Pass, so Your Majesty will be inconvenienced here. I suggest that Your Majesty move to Yuan Shu's Nanyang first, and wait for the palace to be rebuilt.
When the time comes, we will move back to Luoyang."
Hearing that a minister supported him, Yuan Shu also smiled on his face, but then someone stood up to refute him.
"Your Majesty, I have a different opinion. I think your Majesty can go to Yanzhou first. After all, the governor of Yanzhou is a clan member of the Han Dynasty."
"In that case, I suggest that your Majesty go to the south first. After all, General Sun's troops have contributed the most in this battle against thieves. Your Majesty can go to Changsha to appease the families of the fallen soldiers to show your kindness. In addition, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, also
Where are the Han clan members?"
"Your Majesty, I also have something to say."
"Your Majesty, I have my heart and I want to report it."
…………
As if some strange mechanism had been turned on, the ministers began to report one after another. Looking at Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, they felt that he was one head and two older.
At this moment, seeing that the situation was somewhat out of control, Wen Du slowly stood up and walked to the side of the ministers.
To be continued...
