Liu Hong was sitting in the main seat, seemingly expressionless, but in fact he was already furious!
He Jin and Yuan Wei have already blatantly attacked the imperial party!
First, he convicted Zhang Wen and tried to kill him directly. Then he strongly praised Liu Zhang and tried to kill him!
OK OK! Your courage is getting bigger and bigger!
"Liu Aiqing, what do you think? The general and the tutor are both asking for credit for you!"
Liu Hong's tone was calm, but Liu Zhang could hear Liu Hong's anger! If he dares to agree, he will definitely not end well!
Liu Zhang refused the promotion proposal without even thinking about it.
"Your Majesty, although I have some merits, I have also committed a serious crime! If the generals ignore the law and beat their superiors like I do, won't the army be in chaos? If my achievements can offset the crimes I committed, then I will I’m so satisfied!”
Liu Hong's expression softened a lot. He was really afraid that Liu Zhang would agree on impulse.
"Your Majesty, the general has made such a great contribution. If he is not rewarded, the officers and soldiers of the three armies will definitely be disappointed!"
He Jin completely ignored the opinions of Liu Hong and Liu Zhang and still insisted on giving Liu Zhang an official position.
If Liu Zhang didn't know the inside story, he would definitely think that He Jin was crazy, and he would not give up until Liu Zhang was promoted!
"Liu Aiqing, it seems that if I don't promote you, I will offend the public!"
Liu Hong's tone was unkind, and he was obviously angry. But Liu Zhang knew that Liu Hong was not angry with him.
"Your Majesty, it would be unfair to not reward meritorious deeds and punish delinquents."
Yuan Wei stood up again and stated his position again.
Liu Hong was about to explode with anger. It seemed that if Zhang Wen was not killed today and Liu Zhang was not promoted, these two people would not rest!
"I..."
"His Majesty!"
Liu Zhang had already seen Liu Hong's dilemma and interrupted him directly.
"What's the matter with Liu Aiqing?"
"If Your Majesty also feels that Wei Chen has some merit, Wei Chen will boldly ask His Majesty for a favor!"
Liu Hong frowned and shouted in his heart that it was not good. Could it be that Liu Zhang could not resist the temptation of high position?
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Liu Zhang leaned over and bowed again, "Your Majesty, I would like to marry Princess Wannian."
Giving up a high position just to marry a princess?
Liu Zhang's decision shocked everyone in the palace, including He Jin and Yuan Wei.
"General Hou, you have to think clearly! General Wei is a person who is even more powerful than the other three!"
He Jin still refused to give up and tried his best to persuade him.
How could Liu Zhang not know He Jin's thoughts? He kept laughing in his heart, but he still smiled gratefully.
"Thank you to the great general and Grand Tutor Yuan for their support. Liu Zhang appreciates it! He is a bit shameless for the post of general, let alone the three generals? Liu Zhang is self-aware and absolutely cannot agree to this!"
After Liu Zhang thanked He Jin and Yuan Wei, he turned to Liu Hong.
"Your Majesty, I have been in love with the princess for a long time, and I ask for your permission!"
"good!"
Liu Hong stood up immediately and was very satisfied with Liu Zhang's performance!
"Liu Aiqing is a pillar of the Han Dynasty, and I have been attracted to you for a long time! What's more, both of you and I are descendants of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty! Your marriage to Wan Nian is definitely a match made in heaven. It can be said that we are closer to each other. a ha ha ha!"
Liu Hong was afraid that other ministers would object again, so he always agreed. Unexpectedly, He Jin jumped out.
"Your Majesty, the general's merits are as high as the sky, and promotion is what everyone expects!"
Liu Hong finally figured it out. He Jin had not dealt with this for so long, which made him a little complacent!
"General, didn't you hear Liu Aiqing say that he doesn't want to be the third-gong general? You insist on letting me promote him. If the general resigns and leaves, who will make up for such a big loss! You!"
Liu Hong's reaction was so intense that it really startled He Jin. He quickly lowered his head to apologize, and at the same time kept winking at Yuan Wei.
Yuan Wei kept looking ahead and ignored He Jin's request for help.
"This matter is settled! On the sixth day of August, the general and the princess will get married! As for Zhang Wen, let him be escorted back to the capital first and then he will be released!"
"Retreat!"
The more Liu Hong looked at these ministers, the more upset he became, and he walked away directly, leaving the ministers at a loss in the palace.
Liu Zhang didn't want to stay here any longer, so he directly pulled Liu Yan and walked out.
"Father, I leave everything to you regarding your marriage to the princess!"
Liu Yan stroked his beard with his hand, a look of ridicule on his face.
"When your father asked you to marry the princess, you were still aggrieved and would rather die than obey! Why, now you have compromised!"
Liu Zhang laughed twice, and he swore in his heart that it was definitely not because of the princess's beauty!
"Father, you have seen the intrigues in the court now and then. There are many things you cannot control!"
Liu Yan nodded, indeed agreeing with Liu Zhang's words.
Since Liu Zhang moved into the Houjiang Mansion and married Cai Yan, the communication between father and son has become even less!
Liu Yan knew that his youngest son had outstanding abilities, but he couldn't help but worry about him.
"I didn't expect that the general and the tutor would recommend you to be the general of the guard! If you agree, you will be many times better than your father!"
Liu Zhang showed a sneer, "Father, how can He Jin and Yuan Wei be so kind? General Wei? I'm not even close to the weak crown, so you let me serve as General Wei? Then if I make great achievements in the future, won't I be crowned king? I It seems they want me to die early!"
"It's good that you know! My father was worried that you would be greedy for official position, so he agreed directly."
Liu Yan was still a little scared. If Liu Zhang impulsively fell into the trap of He Jin and Yuan Wei, he really didn't know how it would end!
A warmth flowed out of Liu Zhang's heart. He could still truly feel his father's care for him!
"Father, don't worry, this pig-killer can't do anything to his son!"
Liu Yan patted Liu Zhang's shoulder happily, and could no longer describe himself as satisfied with his son. Whether their clan can regain the glory of their ancestors, Liu Yan has pinned his hopes on this son!
"My son must not underestimate the general. There are many capable people around He Jin. If you underestimate the enemy and are careless, you will definitely be harmed by him! You must be careful in everything!"
Liu Zhang naturally knew how many capable people He Jin had around him. Not to mention, Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, which one was Yi Yu's generation? But Liu Zhang is not worried. The poisonous warriors around him will definitely be able to see through all the conspiracies and tricks, making him foolproof!
"Father, don't worry. My child is by no means arrogant. He will naturally be cautious!"
No matter how much you talk to Liu Yan, it's useless. It's better to give him some reassuring words.
"Father, please leave the marriage!"
"Don't worry, my father will make sure your wedding is a success! After all, you are marrying a princess, so you can't lose etiquette!"
Liu Zhang felt that he had not saluted his father for a long time, so he bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
Liu Yan nodded with satisfaction, and then helped Liu Zhang up after receiving the gift.
"My son will not be polite, leave everything to your father!"
"Thank you, Father!"
