At the same time, it can be said that some people in Luoyang City are sad and some are happy.
Sad people, they did not expect that Yuan Shu, Huangpu Song and Lu Zhi could make such great contributions in less than half a year.
Except for the person sitting on the dragon throne, everyone felt happy. The others were people with whom they had conflicts of interest or family members.
After all, if one person achieves the Tao of chickens and dogs and ascends to heaven, they can also benefit from it.
At this moment, Zhang Rang was holding several good news messages sent to Luoyang from various places, including Yuan Shu from Nanyang, Liu Yan from Youzhou, Huangpu Song, Lu Zhi and others.
The other copies were also sent by Gong Jing, Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao. All of them were about the great victory of the Yellow Turban Army, which was like a shot in the arm for the current big man.
When receiving these things, Zhang Rang immediately started to pack his things. Then he entered the palace. At this time, Emperor Ling was still thinking of ways to deal with the affairs of the queen and the general.
After all, he had hinted the queen many times, but the general still didn't know how to restrain himself. If this continues, it will be very difficult for him.
After all, no matter what, the queen is the sister of the general. And he was also the person he intended to support, but he didn't expect that this person would be so stupid and be used as a gun by others.
At this time, Zhang Rang had already entered the palace. When he saw Emperor Ling, he immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, what a happy event."
"What a happy event."
Shouting and trotting at the same time. He stepped on his clothes many times and almost fell down, but he didn't care and just kept running towards the Ling Emperor's position.
Emperor Ling did not show too much excitement. Instead, he sat haggardly on the chair and said, "Father, what kind of happy event can make you lose your composure like this."
"Could it be that all the thieves of the Yellow Turban Army were wiped out?"
Emperor Ling seemed to say such a sentence in a teasing tone, without any hope.
But Zhang Rang said happily: "Your Majesty, you are really clever."
"The memorials in the hands of this slave are all good news about the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army."
"There are good news coming from Nanyang, Youzhou and Qingzhou."
"There are even ones from the direction of Liangzhou. This is a great joy."
Afterwards, Zhang Rang lowered his body and handed the memorial to Emperor Ling. Emperor Ling's face, which was already very haggard, had a rare rosy look on his face, and he happily took the memorial from Zhang Rang's hand.
After looking at it for half an hour, he said tremblingly: "Father, is all this true?"
"I, the Han Dynasty, can be saved?"
Zhang Rang himself cried with joy and said: "Your Majesty, all this is true."
"Your efforts are not in vain, our Han Dynasty can be saved."
After confirming again, Emperor Ling immediately said: "My eldest father, inform all ministers."
"They must come to the court within an hour to attend court. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded."
"I will reward these heroes greatly this time. Let the people of the world know, let my people know that their majesty is not stupid yet."
Afterwards, Emperor Ling laughed loudly after finishing speaking. Zhang Rang also immediately sent someone to notify these people to go to court and explained the seriousness of the matter.
Now, it's not just Luoyang where the storm is coming. Every place has different situations, and Cao Cao, who was still on the road at this moment, said to Liu Bei: "Brother Xuande, we are going to Luoyang this time."
"I must entertain you well. You are a hero. A true hero. I, Cao Cao, admire you."
"It won't be too late for you and your two virtuous brothers to leave after the imperial court's reward comes down."
The reason why Cao Cao could say this at this time was because Liu Bei's talent made Cao Cao want to recruit him.
Moreover, Cao Cao also wanted to receive such talents under his command. Cao Cao respected Liu Bei more and cherished his talents.
Liu Bei: "Thank you for your appreciation, General, but Bei Zhi is not here."
"I can only live up to the general's good intentions."
Cao Cao laughed loudly and said: "Brother Xuande, it doesn't matter. As long as one day you figure it out, Cao will definitely sweep the bed to welcome you."
"Today's words, always count."
Cao Cao is still as heroic as ever. But he didn't know that Liu Bei would also be his strong enemy in the future.
In Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo is now sitting in his seat. While playing with the beauty, he said to Li Ru: "We only eliminated some remnants of the Yellow Turban Army this time. The memorials reported to the court this time are all embellished."
"Is there really no problem?"
The current Dong Zhuo is not the powerful Dong Xiangguo. Now, although he really wants to be promoted and make a fortune, he still has a lot of worries.
After all, his own good news was false and exaggerated his own achievements. Along the way, the largest group of Yellow Turban rebels that the team he led eliminated was only 5,000 people.
But there are absolutely no rebels like Yi Qushuai. This time Dong Zhuo also listened to Li Ru's plan and exaggerated his achievements.
Li Ru fanned the feather fan in his hand and said, "Don't worry, as long as we don't say anything. Who knows, the court will definitely not be stingy with the reward."
The reason why Li Ru was so confident was because he was sure that the Yellow Turban Army had been wiped out. Now the remaining ones are just defeated soldiers, and even if they know about it, they can't make any trouble.
In Nanyang and Yuan Shu, they never discussed the matter of rewards. This is because Yuan Shu is confident enough. After all, such achievements are enough for his two brothers to obtain the official position of a military general.
Yuan Shu is currently writing a letter to his uncle. Inviting him to attend her wedding with Zhen Ji when the time comes, and when Yuan Shu just brought Zhen Ji back, Cai Wenji cried for a long time because of this, thinking that Yuan Shu disliked him.
Helpless, Yuan Shu could only coax her for several days. This matter was finally over. As for Feng Yuan, she wished that Yuan Shu would marry more.
After all, she was very aware of Yuan Shu's power. If she wasn't pregnant now, Yuan Shu would probably not let her go.
Of course, Zhen Ji also successfully integrated into this big family. And Cai Wenji pitied Zhen Ji's fate even more. Since knowing this, she has always acted as a good sister in front of Zhen Ji.
At the court, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty looked down at his ministers and said, "Ministers, after reading these memorials."
"What do you think should be done to reward these ministers who have made great contributions to the imperial court, especially Yuan Zhoumu? You adults can express your opinions, but I may not necessarily adopt them."
At this time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty could be said to be extremely domineering. Almost not allowing anyone to question his decision, the last words were spoken to his brother-in-law, General He Jin.
Just to prevent him from jumping out at this time and disrupting his good deeds.
And He Jin really didn't want to be the first person anymore. At this time, Wang Yun stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"Now Nanyang Prefecture Mu Yuan Shu Yuan is already the largest first-class official in the imperial court. If he reaches the top again, he should be crowned king."
"Although Yuan Zhoumu's achievements are indeed enough to be crowned king, the Han Dynasty has not had a king with a different surname for hundreds of years."
"Therefore, I think that Mr. Zhou Mu can be rewarded with more gold, silver and jewelry for his contribution."
Wang Yun is indeed an old fox, and he wants to erase Yuan Shu's contribution with just a few words.
At this time, an official from the Yuan family's team stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think Wang Situ's remarks are inappropriate."
"Credit is credit, fault is fault. What's more, Yuan Zhoumu has not made any mistakes. To erase his merits like this is really harmful to military morale."
"Among these memorials, three of them mentioned Yuan Zhoumu's contribution. It can be seen that Yuan Zhoumu's contribution was recognized by several generals."
"To deny it like this is really a bad influence."
As for Cai Yong and Yuan Wei, they said nothing because they avoided suspicion. But they were all very happy in their hearts, especially the old man Cai Yong.
He knew that the better Yuan Shu was, the happier his daughter would be. Moreover, the previous influence will slowly dissipate.
Everyone will only know that he is Yuan Shu's wife, and that is enough.
There were many people talking about it in the court, but in short, Yuan Shu could not get the most people to make him king. After all, the power of the Yuan family in the court is too great now. Now that there is a king with a different surname, they don't have to play with it.
Finally, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty stopped them and said: "I think, according to your wishes, Yuan Zhoumu should never be crowned king, right?"
"Okay then, let's draw up the decree."
"It is God's destiny, the emperor has decreed. Yuan Shu, the current pastor of Nanyang Prefecture, has made great achievements in suppressing bandits, so I have specially drafted this edict."
"Feng, Yuan Shu's wife Feng Yuan is the first-grade imperial concubine and enjoys the first-grade salary of the Han Dynasty."
"Feng, Yuan Shu's concubine Cai Wenji is the second-grade royal wife, and enjoys the salary of the second-grade emperor of the Han Dynasty."
"Moreover, in the future, Yuan Zhoumu will marry more wives and concubines. They will all be granted the title of third-grade imperial concubine. They will enjoy the salary of the third-grade Han Dynasty. No more than five people will be allowed, and they will be blessed for three generations."
The power of Emperor Ling's imperial edict was like a huge bomb dropped in the court. It immediately set off a thousand waves and caught them off guard.
Of course, there must be Emperor Han Ling's own considerations involved. He wanted to recruit Yuan Shu and make him his own.
At this time, even Wang Yun and Ding Yuan had no time to regret. But it's also a good thing for them. At least Yuan Shu is not a king with a different surname now.
But the rest of the ministers in the court did not think so. It is estimated that those who want to go to the Yuan family to propose marriage will probably trample the threshold of the Yuan family.
Moreover, this is only a reward for Yuan Shu and his family. The memorial also mentioned that the general who killed the leader of the Yellow Turban Army had not yet been rewarded. At this time, these ministers probably had their own plans in mind.
