The next day.
A round of fiery red sun slowly jumped above the horizon, emitting thousands of golden lights, shining in Luoyang City. Luoyang, which has been silent for a night, is like a giant animal waking up. Its breath is getting hot gradually, while the grand temple group is well prepared.
"When the emperor goes to court, I will see you."
Both Liu Ye and Liu Bei are dressed in black and red court clothes and walk steadily on the steps. Liu Bei is full of thoughts. He could not help but think of a joke he had said when he was young.
At that time, in lousang village, Zhuo County, Youzhou, there was a big tree with luxuriant branches. Liu Bei pointed to the tree and said to his childhood playmates, "if I were the son of heaven, I should take this canopy."
At that time, he was just a child, but now he has been wearing a royal robe to meet the emperor. His life is really like a dream.
"I will see your majesty."
Liu Ye, Liu Bei and others bowed down and worshipped. Liu Bian, who was sitting on the throne, opened his mouth and said, "please rise, general and ministers."
"To your majesty." Liu Ye stepped out of the line and said, "after Yuan's family in Runan, Yuan Shu in Huainan had a bad heart and pretended to be the son of heaven. At the end of the day, he led the army out of Yuzhou, exterminating the general Zhang Xun's 60000 people. Yuan Shu fled Shouchun and died on the way."
Liu Bian said happily: "Uncle Huang is actually the first general of the Han Dynasty. In the first World War, the bandit army was destroyed by 60000, and Yuan Shu, the puppet emperor, fled in a hurry. It was really a great shock to the whole world."
"Your Majesty is flattered, but the emperor's Hongfu is extraordinary." Liu Ye said modestly.
"Well, Yang Xiu."
"I am here."
Liu Bian ordered: "according to my will, 3000 households of the local people will be granted as Tangmu city of the general army, and the salary will be increased by 2000 stones, in order to commend the great general's efforts in rectifying the rebellion." Today, Liu Ye has been granted the title of general. In name, he is the highest official position in the imperial court. He is really not sealed. Therefore, he can only be commended in material terms.
Seeing this, some people may wonder why the highest official position is a general rather than a prime minister? Don't both Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao regard themselves as prime ministers and become representatives of powerful officials?
In fact, the position of prime minister was gradually abolished in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and replaced by Sangong. Because the power of prime minister was too great, he was in charge of the government affairs of the whole country. He was really above ten thousand people. Therefore, in accordance with the principle of weakening the power of prime minister, the prime minister became Sangong. In fact, Dong Zhuo called himself the prime minister, which revived the prime minister system, and then Cao Cao inherited the prime minister system for the sake of autocracy.
However, Liu Ye is not so. First, he is from the army. Second, as long as he has real power, it doesn't matter what he is actually called.
"Thank you, your majesty." Liu Ye said: "in addition, Liu Bei, the governor of Yuzhou, also contributed to his resistance to Yuan Shu's army's attack. Therefore, he will not specially bring him into the palace to meet his majesty."
"Oh?" Liu Bian looked over curiously, and Liu Bei immediately stepped out.
"I have met your majesty, Liu Bei."
Liu argued that Liu Yuzhou was the surname of the state, and was he the descendant of Gaozu
"To your majesty, I am the great grandson of emperor Jingdi of Han Dynasty after King Jing of Zhongshan. He was born a white man because of his family's decline. Thanks to the general's support, he has achieved his present achievements." Liu Bei said respectfully.
"Oh? Yang Sheren, get the Royal genealogy. " After hearing Liu Bei's report to his family, Liu Bian immediately became interested and ordered Yang Xiu, the Secretary of the book, to get the genealogy.
Yang Xiu took out his family tree of many years and looked it up page by page. All of a sudden, a happy expression was revealed on his face: "Liu Yuzhou was indeed after the victory of Yasukuni Yasunari. His grandfather Xiong was promoted to be Xiaolian, and his father Liu Hong died early."
Liu Bian said in surprise: "so it is. So I want to call Liu Yuzhou emperor uncle?"
Liu Bei bowed his head in a hurry: "don't dare to be prepared."
"Uncle Huang is really my uncle. Why don't you dare to be my uncle?" Liu Bian said with a smile: "in this case, he made uncle Huang the left general and had the right to attack the four barbarians. I hope that the two uncles will work together to do their best for the court."
Although Liu Bei was overjoyed, he said respectfully, "Bei will certainly live up to his trust and cooperate with the general to revive the Han Dynasty."
Seeing this, Liu Ye also stepped forward: "please rest assured, your majesty, but the end of the church will be alive for one day, and he will certainly demand the treacherous officials in the sea and serve our great man."
"Ha ha ha, OK, OK." Liu Bian was very happy: "after the separation of the court today, please don't leave. I should set up a family dinner in the palace. Please make sure that the two uncles are present."
"I obey my orders."
After Liu Ye finished his report on the expedition against Yuan Shu and Liu Bei, the Zhongshu ordered Xun you to come out and report about the garrison of farmland and the supervision of Xuanwu pool. Although Liu Bian usually obeys Xun you's report, in fact, it's basically handled by Xun you at the same time. Reporting to him is just a passing scene. Liu Bian is not dissatisfied with this. Liu Bian has no ambition. After he ascends the throne of the emperor, he is satisfied to listen to the lectures given by the great Confucians in the early morning and enjoy music and dance.
"Since there is nothing to play, please withdraw from the court."
Liu Bian was impatient to leave his ministers. He took Liu Ye and Liu Bei's hands and said happily, "the general has been fighting abroad all year round, and seldom comes back to Luoyang. Uncle Bei will return to Yuzhou sooner or later. It's really rare to see him today. Please come with me and have a good dinner."Xun you did not advocate extravagance and waste when he built a new city in Luoyang. However, under the command of Liu Ye, he still satisfied the requirements of the palace as much as possible, but at most it was to restore the normal scale. It would not be good to return to the period of emperor huanling.
With the music officials in the palace slowly playing the sound of drum music, four rows of light gauze thin clothes, graceful maids dancing in the hall, Liu Bian looked interesting and appreciated. Liu Ye, on the other hand, looks at Liu Bei quietly. Liu Bei is sitting in a critical position, his face is still, and there is no other look in his eyes.
Liu Ye secretly praises Liu Bei's anger and joy. No wonder he was able to build Shu Han and compete with Cao Cao, who occupied half of the world.
In addition to Liu Bian and Liu Ye and Liu Bei, there were also Xunyu, Xunyou, Yang Xiu, the Secretary of Zhongshu, Ma richen, the imperial servant, and Tang Mao, the senior statesman. Tang Mao was originally the governor of Kuaiji. He was the father of Tang Ji, the wife of Liu Bian. Liu Bian did not abdicate, so Tang Mao naturally replaced Fu Shou as the country's elder.
Liu Ye and Liu Bei get up and go out of the hall. Liu Bian seems to be enjoying himself.
"Your Majesty, I once had an acquaintance with Uncle Xuande and wanted to go to talk about something old." Tang Mao opened his mouth.
"Is the abbot old with Uncle Huang?" Liu argued the strange way.
