The next morning, the Golden Palace of the Royal Palace.
All the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, except Gao Yi, were bowing to Han Emperor Liu Xie.
After all the ministers were back on their feet, Liu Xie looked at Gao Yi with fear, and said with a smile on his face: "Come here, give General Hussar a chair."
"I heard that the elite soldiers and generals under the command of General Hussar have recaptured Runan County and Henan Yin for me, the Han Dynasty. They are indeed very resourceful and quick!"
Gao Yi raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Xie. He always felt that he had other intentions, so he casually cupped his hand.
"It's all thanks to His Majesty's great fortune, otherwise we wouldn't have conquered these two counties so easily."
It was exactly what Gao Yi thought.
Liu Xie's next words revealed his plan.
"Runan County is the second largest county in our Han Dynasty, and Henan Yin is the former site of Luoyang's capital. How could it be captured so easily?"
"I heard that General Ye Baikui under General Hussar's account contributed a lot in this battle, so I'm going to reward him heavily...I guess General Hussar won't object, right?"
"General Ye, I will make you the General of the Western Conquest, the Marquis of Jueyangcheng County, and you will be given the title of two thousand shi."
Hearing this, the officials in the general queue, who were still unclear about the situation for a while, cast envious glances at Ye Baikui or whispered congratulations.
But all the ministers in the court were silent, and they exclaimed in their hearts: Your Majesty's tactic of alienation is so clever!
In the past half month, all the ministers of the court have been staring at Gaoyi's Sikong Mansion.
The news they received was that Gao Yi spent all day in the house, drinking and having sex, falling in love among the flowers.
All the 40,000 soldiers and horses under his command were handed over to Ye Baikui's command.
As a result, many ministers were collecting information about Ye Baikui.
It is said that Ye Baikui's first appearance was in the Battle of Wancheng, where he used his three thousand Euphorbia soldiers to stabilize the eight thousand Xiliang cavalry.
Later, this man and Lu Shengxiang each led an infantry and cavalry army and marched in a hurry on a snowy night. And within five days, they captured five fortified cities one after another, reaching Xuchang City.
Later, during the defense battle of Xuchang, he withstood the fierce attack of 50,000 Cao troops with only 8,000 infantry troops. He even smashed a huge boulder with a sword, which frightened the generals in Cao's camp.
Now Ye Baikui is in charge of the dispatch of a total of 40,000 troops, and he has captured Runan County and Henan Yin in one fell swoop. There is a faint tendency that his achievements will shake the emperor.
At this moment, Liu Xie suddenly attracted Ye Baikui at the court meeting, although this might offend Gao Yi.
But if Gao Yi spoke to stop him, it would be tantamount to cutting off Ye Baikui's opportunity to be promoted to a higher position.
It is very likely to arouse Ye Baikui's hatred, causing the two masters and servants to become separated, and even gradually turn against each other.
At this time, all the ministers in the court were secretly amazed at Liu Xie's intelligence.
Ye Baikui just raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Xie who was sitting on the dragon throne, and then quietly closed his eyes to rest, looking at the emperor like a piece of grass.
Faced with such an embarrassing situation.
As the leader of the royalist faction, Dong Cheng naturally could not sit idly by.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet, step out of the line of courtiers, and say: "General Ye, His Majesty is sympathetic to your hard work and merits, and has specially appointed you as the General of the Western Conquest and the Marquis of Jueyangcheng County. Why don't you accept the order quickly to express your gratitude?"
After a long time, Ye Baikui never responded and completely ignored Liu Xie and Dong Cheng. The situation was extremely embarrassing.
All the officials in the dynasty did not dare to act rashly, for fear of suffering disaster.
Gao Yi glanced at the ministers on both sides, smiled contemptuously, and said nonchalantly:
"General Bai Kui, Your Majesty values you so much, how can you live up to His Majesty's good intentions? Hurry up and accept the order to express your gratitude!"
Even so, Ye Baikui did not raise his eyes to look at Liu Xie on the dragon throne. Instead, he immediately bowed to Gao Yi and thanked him: "Thanks to the lord's generous gift, my subordinates must do their best to share the lord's worries."
Seeing this scene, Liu Xie, who was still lucky at first, suddenly became as listless as an eggplant beaten by frost, and said dejectedly.
"Dear dear sirs, I feel unwell today. I have the right to initiate a memorial, but I have no right to withdraw from the court."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Xu took out a memorial and walked out of the queue of civil servants on crutches. "Your Majesty, your Majesty, Jia Xu has a written memorial."
"Although Cao Cao was defeated and retreated to the Yanzhou area, Xuchang is still too close to Yanzhou and there is almost no military buffer zone."
"If Cao Cao comes back, Xuchang will definitely be the first place to fight, and it will definitely threaten the safety of the emperor and all the ministers."
"Therefore, I propose to move the capital of the country back to the old location of Luoyang Gyeonggi. I wonder what your Majesty and the ministers think?"
Liu Xie couldn't help but fell into deep thought after hearing this.
I originally thought that Jia Xu was a righteous person, so he would definitely take this opportunity to add insult to injury and ridicule himself for not overestimating his abilities.
But he didn't expect that Jia Xu just proposed to move the capital, and his attitude was quite pleasant. It was obvious that he wanted to save the emperor's face and give himself a step down.
After thinking about it, Liu Xie borrowed the donkey from Poxia, put on a slightly dignified air, and said solemnly:
"At this time, it is reasonable and reasonable, so I will trouble Jia Aiqing to take on the matter of moving the capital. Since there is nothing else, then retreat..."
Before he finished speaking, Jia Xu suddenly took out another memorial and said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report."
"The former champion Huo Qubing also served as a hussar general. He once said: The Huns are not destroyed, so why do we care about our family? How heroic that is!"
"But it is precisely because of this that after the champion died young, there was no heir left who could continue to protect my great man thousands of miles across the country."
"Now the Hussar General Gao Yi has reached the age of being crowned, but he has no heirs. Therefore, I ask your Majesty to grant marriage and select a few good girls from aristocratic families to spread the branches of the Hussar General. I hope your Majesty will give you permission." .”
I heard that it was just a marriage to Gao Yi.
Liu Xie agreed directly without thinking.
"Okay! Then according to Jia Aiqing's instructions, you should present all the women that the Hussar General likes, and I will issue a decree to marry you later."
Wait until you retire.
On the way out of the imperial city, Jia Xu accidentally saw Dong Cheng chatting with a group of ministers.
He immediately walked up to Dong Cheng on crutches, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations to General Dong Cheng on your wonderful son-in-law."
After hearing this, Dong Cheng and the surrounding ministers could not help but be stunned.
Lieutenant Yang Biao reacted faster and woke up from his doubts in an instant. He opened his groggy gray eyes and asked tentatively: "Could it be that the person Master Jia is asking for from your majesty is actually General Dong's daughter?"
"What do you mean?" Dong Chengru was struck by lightning and grabbed Jia Xu's collar, roaring angrily: "You old poisoner, you actually played tricks on me."
"Who doesn't know that my Mingyue and Your Majesty are cousins? They were childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. They originally had to wait three months to participate in the palace draft... You! You..."
As he spoke, Dong Cheng's emotions were so intense that blood spurted from his mouth and he fainted.
