Since someone had started the conversation, someone immediately followed suit. Even the waiter Xiang Xiang started shouting loudly, pushing all the blame for the Yellow Turbine's chaos onto the decathlon, who was led by Zhang Jean. Although these words were a little extreme, it could be seen how unpopular the decathlon was.

"Your Majesty, the decathlon is now a dictator, hiding everything from us. If we do not present him to Zhang Liang and the others, no matter how talented he is, he will not be valued highly. This caused many local officials to spend money and become incompetent even though they were in high positions. Usually, he would only bully the common people, plunder money, and amass personal wealth, causing the people to feel aggrieved and indignant. Therefore, if the Emperor wants to pacify the Yellow Turbans, he only needs to punish Zhang Jean and the others, and the Yellow Turbans will naturally settle down. "

Long before the yellow cloth started, Yang Ci had already sent a letter to Hanling Emperor, be careful of Zhang Jiao's rebellion. However, Liu Hong did not listen to him, and even removed him from his position. Then, when the accident happened, Liu Hong remembered what Yang Ci had said and returned back to his original position.

However, Yang Ci was an honest official, he would not beat around the bush. Now that the group of courtiers was attacking the eunuchs, he turned his spear and pointed the gun at the eunuchs. Originally, everyone was pleading for mercy on behalf of Wang Yun, but now it was a general meeting to denounce eunuchs.

Of course, Yang Ci knew about Liu Hong selling out the officials, but as his subject, how could he dare to criticize the emperor? Although Yang Ci was a loyal subject who dared to speak bluntly, he did not dare to challenge him without considering the consequences. Therefore, Yang Ci could only attack the eunuch while pointing at him, secretly warning him, but he did not dare to expose Liu Hong's weaknesses to his face.

"The Emperor is clear, the servants are loyal and devoted to the Emperor, what Lord Yang said is completely false. The servants have never stepped out of the Luoyang City, how can it be like what Lord Yang said, the Emperor knows about this matter clearly, I hope that the Emperor can understand."

As soon as Yang Ci finished speaking, Zhang Yun and the rest all knelt down and started crying towards Hanling Emperor. Needless to say, this move was especially useful, causing Hanling Emperor's heart to soften immediately. When killing ministers, he could be hard as iron, he could ignore anyone who begged for mercy. However, once these eunuchs began to cry, his heart would ache for them. This was probably the typical state of mind of a monarch.

Liu Hong did not speak, but looked coldly at everyone. In fact, selling government officials was something that the Spirit Emperor did through the decathlon. Just think about it, how could an emperor come out often to conduct official business, so he had to do it through the practical operations of other people. The Spirit Emperor only needed to command from behind. As for Zhang Gong and the rest, they took the opportunity to raise the price even further with the Spirit Emperor's offer. Naturally, the difference between the two prices fell into the hands of the decathlon.

On one side, the ministers led by He Jin were crying, and on the other side, the Eunuch led by Zhang Jean were crying. This made Liu Hong extremely furious, but he did not know who to rage against at the moment. As an emperor, he knew the most basic strategy. When everyone had different opinions, the best way was to listen to more.

"Your majesty, the Puyang is victorious!"

"Your majesty, the Puyang is victorious!"

"Your majesty, the Puyang is victorious!"

Just as the Righteous Hall was in a stalemate, they suddenly heard a Young Eunuch shouting outside the hall. Everyone seemed to have felt his footsteps jumping, holding the good news, he shouted from the entrance of the palace straight away, all the way until the inside of the palace. In a short period of time, the entire Luoyang knew that the Puyang had won, and the imperial government had once again defeated the xanthopanax.

"Pass, let him in."

The Young Eunuch dashed all the way in and kneeled in front of the palace with a 'plop'. Hanling Emperor Liu Hong was so excited that his hands were trembling slightly. He received the victory report from Puyang and quickly scanned through it before exhaling a long breath and sitting on the big chair with his back facing the sky.

"Honored ministers, that Commandant of Youzhou Yang Lin, in order to conquer the Puyang, made her own lithoclast, and was able to throw a huge boulder that weighed over a thousand kilograms. In merely a day's time, she had forcefully smashed Puyang City apart. In the end, they were unable to escape Yang Lin's encirclement. In the end, they were captured by Yang Lin in one go and the entire Puyang was annihilated. "

Liu Hong said vividly, he looked like a storyteller, but did not expect Liu Hong's eloquence to be so good. As he spoke, Liu Hong suddenly stood up from his chair, and excitedly paced back and forth in the hall, stretching his arms and legs.

"This Emperor really wants to personally take the field."

"Congratulations your majesty, you have such loyal subjects and generals, why would you need to personally lead them? No matter what kind of disorderly subjects you have, they can annihilate all of them for you."

Seeing that Liu Hong was happy, the Grand General Ho Jin followed to help him. However, he was excited inside. This report came at the right time, so he decided to pardon Wang Yun when he was still happy. How inappropriate it was to kill someone at such a festive moment.

""

Liu Hong was still walking around the Main Palace in excitement, but he was actually thinking about Commandant of Youzhou Yang Lin. She was truly a loyal general who only cared about war and constantly won battles. Yet, she would never point fingers at the affairs of the imperial court. Who was to be rewarded by such a person?

"Tell me, how should I reward Commandant of Youzhou Yang Lin?"

"Your Majesty, Commandant of Youzhou Yang Lin has pacified the Puyang. However, on such a joyous day, if Wang Yun was executed, wouldn't that be a bit of a disaster? Your Majesty, the great victory of the Puyang, shouldn't you pardon the world? "

The Grand General Ho Jin seized the opportunity and immediately pleaded for mercy on Wang Yun's behalf. Hearing that, although Hanling Emperor Liu Hong understood that this was He Jin taking the chance to plead for Wang Yun, but his mood had improved a lot, he did not want to ruin his good mood, so he waved his hand to His Highness and the other ministers.

"Forget it, let's avoid Wang Yun's death sentence. Let him think about it after returning home."

"Thank you, your majesty."

The ministers kowtowed to Hanling Emperor in unison. This time, they had achieved a complete victory, and each one of them revealed happy smiles. In his heart, he hated He Jin and the others so much that his teeth itched, but he could do nothing about it. After all, He Jin was the Emperor's brother-in-law.

"Alright, get up, tell me how do you want to reward Commandant of Youzhou Yang Lin."

As for how to reward Yang Lin, they were not in the mood to listen. After all, it was only natural for Yang Lin to reward them after winning a big battle. It was just to raise their position, there was no conflict with it, no one would object to it.

"Your majesty, Yang Lin did a great job in destroying the Yellow Mask. This subject thinks that since Yang Lin is a good cavalry man, he can be conferred with me as the middle officer of my troop and transferred to the Guangzong to assist General Huangfu Song in annihilating Zhang Jiao. "As for the generals under his command, they will be given to the general and the uncle according to their contribution." He Jin was, after all, a Great General. Moreover, Yang Lin had won a battle, so it wouldn't be too much to confer the title of a mediator.

is conferred with the title of a middle officer and is given to lead the Liaodong Taishang. The contribution of each of the generals is awarded to the general and the uncle. Hanling Emperor nodded and agreed with He Jin's suggestion. However, he waved the Recital in his hand again, and said to the rest: "Various ministers, this Yang Lin even mentioned that all of the food, weapons and equipment used by the officials and army of Liaodong are privately funded, and are currently unable to bear the burden, and the Liaodong did not collect any taxes. Yang Lin humbly requests the imperial government to pay the military salaries in order to maintain the military requirements. "

"Oh, they still want money and food?" The Grand General Ho Jin asked curiously, he could not understand, these days victory and defeat battles all required officials, who would ask for money? ~ This Yang Lin wants officials and money, isn't he a little too greedy? Even if you become an official, you can make your own fortune. How many officials are poor people? How could he ask the Emperor for money and food? Was this Yang Lin's brain burnt out?

Yes, he said that there is no more food, please bring your troops back to Liaodong. Hanling Emperor threw the Recital on the table, as if he was unsatisfied with Yang Lin's request.

"Your Majesty, that Yang Lin and his subordinates are all farmers and hunters. He only thought of doing meritorious service for the imperial government, getting a reward, going back to buy land, and getting married. I heard that Yang Lin wasn't even able to get married even at the age of twenty-four, and in the end, ended up as the son-in-law who came to our door. " Seeing that the emperor was unhappy, the Grand General Ho Jin immediately took Yang Lin as a joke.

"Hehehe, this Yang Lin can't be a little stupid, right? He's twenty-four years old, and he still hasn't gotten a wife?" Hearing Grand General Ho Jin say that Yang Lin had not married yet, Liu Hong could not help but burst out laughing. He already had a woman at the age of fourteen, and it was a bunch of women at that. He wanted that woman, and that woman was his.

"He's not stupid, but he's a bit poor. If he was scared of poverty, he would think of money. You tell me how much he can sell for a day of hunting. "Hehe."

He Jin also laughed out loud. No matter what, to be able to make the Emperor happy was a skill. However, from the bottom of his heart, he began to despise Yang Lin. Such a greedy person actually had the face to discuss about how to develop agriculture and let the people live a comfortable life. No wonder he sent all of the captives to the Youzhou to farm. This kind of person had high ambitions. Unknowingly, He Jin no longer put Yang Lin in his heart.

"Your majesty, now that the Puyang is so successful, your majesty might as well reward them with some money and food. On one hand, you have rewarded them with contributions, and on the other hand, allowed them to have food and money, so that they could attack Guangzong's Zhang Jiao. "

"Great General is right, then you should reward them more. But don't give it too much, just keep it for later when you've won the battle. "

Liu Hong was a stingy person, and a person who really wanted money. The seller was his greatest masterpiece. It could be said that he had never been there before, never to be seen again. In the end, he had even sold off the majestic throne.

"Your majesty, how much should we reward?"

"Yang Lin now has over thirty thousand cavalrymen and ten thousand lithoclast hands. He has a total of four ten thousand people. Just give him three months of rations and he will be ordered to eliminate Zhang Jiao within three months. "
