Da Chu, court.
"Chen Shou, the guard of the central capital, beheaded many people in the battle of Yunzhou and was named Xinpinghou."
"Li Kang, the general of Polu, fought bravely and surrendered more than a thousand enemy troops. He was granted the title of Marquis of Quyang."
"Situ Bai, the former guard of the army, seized useless weapons and equipment and was granted the title of Marquis of Qinghe."
"..."
Xiang Chong sat on the dragon chair, his ears numb.
Fan Li went up to commend him for his military merits, and in one breath he granted titles to more than 60 generals.
This is too much!
"Um, Duke Jin?"
"Um?"
Hearing Xiang Chong's cautious voice, Fan Li, who was deep in thought, had to interrupt his thoughts and glance at him sideways.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
This is the Jinluan Palace, where ministers report to the king.
Fan Li was too lazy to talk to Xiang Chong.
There is no way around it. The [Five Emperors Alliance] in half a month will really make Fan Li worried.
"It's...it's nothing serious."
Xiang Chong swallowed, thinking that I am not as good as Xiang Ning as an emperor.
However, Fan Li defeated the Ming army in a battle and captured a large number of prisoners. The result frightened Xiang Chong.
"Are there too many people in this trip?"
"Sixty-four people have been granted the title of marquis. From now on, they will all be supported by the Chu treasury. I'm afraid the expense will be too high?"
Xiang Chong accompanied him with a smile, looking like everything was easy to discuss.
Hearing this, Fan Li looked at the other party in surprise.
This guy actually knows how to settle accounts?
Of course he understood Xiang Chong's thoughts.
Is it just a suspicion that he is showing favor to others, winning over people's hearts, and threatening his throne?
funny.
The work of winning over people's hearts has been done by the previous generations of the Fan family.
At Fan Li's generation, he has no need to win over people's hearts.
The hearts of the Chu people have long since returned to the Fan family.
But Fan Li felt angry when he saw Xiang Chong sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a dragon robe and looking nondescript.
Xiang Ning is still suffering in the Daci Dynasty!
"His Majesty."
Fan Li's face suddenly turned cold when he thought of Xiang Ning.
"These sixty-four generals were all rewarded for their merits. It was because of their bravery on the battlefield that Your Majesty now enjoys a good life sitting in the Golden Palace."
Xiang Chong's face turned red with shame as he listened.
Fan Li did not intend to let him go yet, and continued to say coldly: "Of course, your majesty is the emperor of Chu. The so-called thunder and rain are all your kindness. If your majesty is not willing to reward meritorious ministers, I can also stop according to the order."
OK!
Xiang Chong almost blurted out.
Of course he would be willing to save a lot of money.
"It's just." Fan Li paused, pointed outside the palace and said, "Your Majesty, please go to the military camp yourself and inform the soldiers about the decision of whether to reward meritorious service or not."
ha?
He goes to say it?
I don’t even dare to go if I have the guts!
He had heard about how loyal the Chu garrison was to Fan Li?
Someone heard a fox barking outside the military camp, and someone dug up a one-eyed stone statue.
When the weather was cold, the garrison soldiers cooked white snake soup for Fan Li and put a yellow robe on him to keep out the cold.
Thinking of this, Xiang Chong's mouth twitched.
"Well, the soldiers fought hard on the front line, and being granted the title of Marquis is nothing... haha, it's nothing."
Seeing that the two of them had finished chatting, the eunuch continued to read out the benevolent edict of the marquis.
After a long time, all sixty-four garrison generals were granted the title of marquis.
Xiang Chong remembered something again and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Jin, what do you think about the Five Emperors Alliance? Should you go, or not?"
Fan Li sighed after hearing this.
"Before I return to the court, I have received the news."
"The emperors of the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu have agreed to attend the Mianchi [Five Emperors Alliance] in half a month."
"If I, the great Chu, do not join the alliance, wouldn't I be standing outside others and ruining the friendship of the alliance?"
Xiang Chong's face was full of bitterness.
"However, I heard that the [Three Emperors' Alliance] was very dangerous in the past, and I really don't know what to do with this [Five Emperors' Alliance]."
Fan Li gave Xiang Chong a strange look.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"I... don't dare to go." Xiang Chong said embarrassedly.
Fan Li's expression became even stranger.
"The five emperors will make an alliance, and I will take part in it. What is your majesty going to do?"
After saying that, the air seemed to be quiet.
Fan Li scratched his nose in embarrassment and thought to himself that he seemed a little rebellious just now?
Xiang Chong also looked at him with horror on his face, wondering if this guy was going to have a showdown?
"cough!"
With a dry cough, Fan Li forced himself to smooth things over.
"What I mean is that Mianchi Mountain is high and the road is far away. Your Majesty's body worth thousands of dollars is not suitable for traveling far. I am willing to share your worries for your Majesty."
"Okay, okay!"
Xiang Chong agreed immediately.
"I feel very relieved that Duke Jin is loyal to the king and the country, so I would like to ask Duke Jin to go there on my behalf."
…
…………
Mianchi, the ancient place of alliance, is also an ownerless place.
This place is full of plains, without any obstruction.
The princes of the Spring and Autumn Period gathered here to show openness and fairness.
Coincidentally, today's Mianchi is caught between the Wei, Han, Wu and Dachu states.
Based on the relationship between the four countries, there will certainly be no dispute over the ownership of the Mianchi boundary.
It just so happened that Mianchi had no city or people, so we simply assumed that it was an ownerless wasteland.
The day before the agreed date of the alliance, Fan Li had arrived in Mianchi. For safety reasons, the person who came was still a clone.
He was curious.
Empress Yaoguang betrayed her trust and killed Zhuge Liang and three other people. Why did she have the nerve to convene an alliance?
The Alliance of Five Emperors is of course different from the Alliance of Three Emperors, and it is not at all the rivalry between emperors and emperors that Xiang Chong thought.
"Perhaps it's a press conference? To defend the war in Yunzhou?" Fan Li thought in his mind.
On this trip to Mianchi, Fan Li only brought four thousand guards, but no real masters accompanied him.
Wu Zhui needs some time to recover from his injuries after the battle with the Saint of Arrows.
In terms of safety, Fan Li is not worried at all.
He expected that whether it was true or not, Empress Yaoguang was here to convey her goodwill, and it was even more impossible for her to do something that would threaten his life in front of Cao, Liu, and Sun.
Unless Yaoguang gives up the Five Nations Alliance, but how is this possible?
"Mr. Jin, you are well."
Fan Lizheng stood alone on the top of the altar and looked at the scenery.
Here is a spacious terrace that can accommodate hundreds of people, perfect for holding meetings.
Hear sounds, sometimes far and sometimes near.
Fan Li heard the news and went away, only to see an emperor's ceremonial guard coming towards the altar.
The escorting soldiers were mighty and tall, and the dragon flag was fluttering with extraordinary momentum.
Fan Li saw the person clearly.
Fang Yi, who has a purple beard and blue eyes, has a big mouth and is wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, is also looking at Fan Li with a smile.
"Oh? His Majesty Emperor Wu?"
Fan Li only bowed his hand.
Sun Quan didn't mind either and returned the favor.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Once upon a time, Fan Li was already the Duke of Jin of Chu, and Sun Quan at that time was just a chariot and cavalry general of the Han Dynasty.
Now that he has proclaimed himself emperor, his cultivation has broken through to the Mahayana realm, but he does not dare to act like a superior in front of Fan Li.
Because Sun Quan was in charge of the country, Fan Li was also in charge of the country.
"Your Majesty came so quickly. I arrived one day early. I thought I would only see Your Majesty tomorrow." Fan Li said with a smile.
"well!"
Sun Quan listened and shook his head repeatedly.
"Unfortunately, Gong Jin died in battle. I originally wanted to ask Empress Yaoguang for an explanation. Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to invite me. Due to important matters, I have to bear it temporarily."
Fan Li nodded.
The three Cao, Liu, and Sun were indeed top-notch in their endurance skills, otherwise they would not have been dormant in the Han Dynasty for many years.
"Why didn't your majesty come with your majesties, Emperor Wei and Emperor Han?" Fan Li asked curiously.
These three guys used to advance and retreat together.
"this……"
Sun Quan looked strange, looking angry and embarrassed.
Just because it was Fan Li who asked the question, Sun Quan couldn't help but give him face.
After sighing, Sun Quan replied depressedly: "Besides the war in Yunzhou, I have been busy recently to appease the survivors of the Old Han Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao's fellows are not only competing with me for the survivors, but also Liu Bei is causing trouble..."
