Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 450
All the officials were also very concerned about this banquet in the Liangyi Hall.

Many people even stayed up all night, waiting for news from the palace.

When it was learned that none of the people who were invited was missing, naturally some people were happy and some were worried.But more people know that Liu Song's world probably cannot be changed.

really.

the next day.

The imperial edict conferring eight people as the Dukes of the state was officially promulgated.

Immediately afterwards, there was an edict to reward those who made meritorious service in this battle.

A large number of soldiers and school officials were named viscounts and barons.

But once it reaches above "Bo", this reward is to be cautious.

After several rounds of screening, only more than a hundred titles of "Count" and above were awarded, and the rest were not selected even if their military merit was slightly inferior. The entire military merit group has been conferred into three groups.

The first one is Zhu Lingshi's big bosses. Under the temptation of the Duke and Fengguo, they have already stood on the side of the emperor and separated from the soldiers who fought side by side with them.

The second is the nobleman above the earl.

Rare things are more expensive, and everyone knows that in the future, titles above Earl Liu Song will become more and more valuable, and titles below will become cheaper and cheaper.Naturally, they will not harm their own interests for others, so they will instinctively join the side that maintains their own power.

The third is the meritorious officials below the earl.

Especially the soldiers who have reached the level of "Viscount" in military exploits naturally feel unwilling in their hearts.

Those who went up were all named hereditary earls, and those who went down were very clear in their hearts, knowing that they would not be able to jump across the world, and they were all very happy when Xiao Fu was safe.

But compared with other profiteers, their complaints are somewhat insignificant.

With a single move, the originally huge military group was divided into three small pieces by the emperor, and the big heads were well fed by the emperor. A future crisis quietly disappeared with the reform of the Liu Song title system.

The next thing to do is to give money to those who should give money, and give land to those who should give land.Let them become "superior men" after this war, and stimulate the martial spirit of the whole country.

After ending this seemingly calm but turbulent struggle, Liu Yizhen finally had time to deal with some of his personal affairs——

Helen's.

In any case, she killed her father and several elder brothers.

Hiding for such a long time without seeing her, and the Empress Dowager Sun helping to appease her, but it was not a serious solution.

After a long time, Liu Yizhen came to Helian's palace again.It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion, but the flowers and plants inside look a bit dark, as if they have inherited the owner's decadence and depression.

Helian, who heard Liu Yizhen's visit, rushed out to greet her, but her swollen eyes still revealed her true state.

"I have someone make some mutton soup and bring it to you. The wood used to burn the meat is red willow from Hetao. I heard that the aroma is very special."

"And this smell...you should be very familiar with it."

"..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

He Lianshi opened the food box, and the mutton soup inside was still boiling hot. Liu Yizhen thoughtfully handed her a spoon and asked her to eat.

Putting the mutton soup into his mouth, Liu Yizhen quietly watched the rouge on Helian's lips melt in the hot soup.After a while, the hot soup in the spoon refused to go into his throat for a long time, and a few big tears fell into the dizzy soup spoon, and the splash inside made Helian finally couldn't help crying.

"You should have known there would be such a day, but it did come too soon."

In a national war, the most important thing is the fighter, otherwise it is the consumption of national power.

He Lianbo knew that he could not kill Liu Yizhen, so he desperately wanted to capture Hanzhong and force Liu Yizhen to return to the south.

However, what he did in this round was to kill himself.

Liu Yizhen didn't tell Helianshi about this, because he knew that Helianshi didn't understand and didn't want to hear it.

"Now your elder brother, Helian Gui, has changed his surname back to Liu, and he has been named the new Xiongnu Shanyu. I promise you that as long as he doesn't make trouble, I will leave a way for Helian's blood."

For Liu Yizhen, Liu Gui has indeed lost its use value.

At this stage,
Liu Song's own cavalry force has not yet been formed, and it is temporarily unable to achieve complete control over the grassland.Therefore, it is impossible to put Liu Gui, the "Hun Shanyu" back on the grassland and let him grow up to become another threat to the north.

Such a Xiongnu Shanyu was really no threat to Liu Yizhen.

Therefore, Liu Yizhen's assurance to the Helian family was true.

He walked up to Helianshi and took her into his arms.

"I know that your home is gone now, the only thing I can do is to save your family."

When He Lian heard this, she cried louder and more helplessly, wrapping her arms around Liu Yizhen, she couldn't help crying.

Liu Yizhen also took advantage of the situation and hugged her back: "All your relatives have been taken back to Chang'an by me. If you want to see me, I can arrange for you to meet."

He Lian shook her head and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty, don't you understand? The concubine now...is really only His Majesty."

As soon as these words came out, even Liu Yizhen felt guilty, and even slightly squeezed Helian's tighter with his arms.

After a long time, Helian finally collected her emotions, and looked up at Liu Yizhen with those pitiful eyes.

Liu Yizhen also looked down at Helianshi, but saw that her originally bright face had already become emaciated, and the black hair hanging from the left and right were a little withered and yellow.

The plumpness of her body seems to have been completely wasted, and the originally plump figure was tightly bound by the ribbon, and she no longer had the charm before.Yingying's waist was also missing a few inches, and it looked full of mourning and sadness.

The Helian family usually showed a tough and capable face, but today such resentment has never happened before, but Liu Yizhen's heart trembled when he saw those eyes.

"I……"

"I have already informed the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will not call you there again."

"in addition……"

Liu Yizhen scratched his head: "If you need anything, tell me, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Helen shook her head slightly.

"Your Majesty, what do you think gold, silver and treasures are for your courtiers and concubines?"

Her brows were in a daze, and Helian bit her red lips lightly, with some determination and unwillingness: "The concubine just wants His Majesty to accompany the concubine for a while."

"..."

Hearing this, Liu Yizhen not only felt a headache, but his waist also began to ache intermittently.

"Is there... really no other needs? If you want, I can accompany you to Hetao next year?"

He Lian shook his head resolutely, and at the same time his tone was even more decisive: "I don't have anything to ask for, I just ask that Your Majesty can accompany me for a while."

"..."

"nature."
