Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 184

"Where is Liu De!" Ji Yuanwu said again.

"The minister is here!" Liu De's expression changed, finally it was his turn, and he knelt on one knee and kowtowed.

"Yangwei General Liu De, devoted himself to his duties, turned the tide when his grandfather died, and defeated Donghu's [-] soldiers and horses. When Leyang City fell, he wiped out [-] Linhu's army, beheaded Linhu Zuoxian King Tuoba Dashi, and promoted our country. Wei is really the pillar of the country.

Qifu, the grandfather of Liu De, the partial general Liu Shang guarded Dongyu for more than [-] years, and saved the people on the border of Yanzhou from the suffering of war. Posthumously confer the posthumous title of General Liu Shang of the Great Zhou as the fifth-rank Fuguo General; posthumously posthumously posthumously confer the posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous title of the sixth-rank Colonel Liu Kuang (Uncle Liu De) to the sixth-rank General Zhenwei; General Zhenwu; posthumously named Liu Qian (son of Liu Kuang) General Fenwei of the sixth rank.Liu Shang's wife, Zhang Shi, was granted the title of five-rank mansion, to show Liu's achievements and not to forget the heroic soul of the martyrs. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Liu De kowtowed and bowed again. His majesty's reward is not unreasonable. This is to prove to the world that Liu Shang has contributed to the imperial court, and it is also to stabilize the hearts of the soldiers on the border. You see, the imperial court will never forget you. Let's guard the border with peace of mind. !
"Liu De, the general who raised his power, traveled thousands of miles. He made great contributions to eradicating rebels for the imperial court. He is now enshrined as the fourth-rank general Anbei, Marquis of Dong Yu, with [-] households in Shiyi, a thousand taels of gold, fifty pieces of brocade, and pearls." Ten pieces, still guarding Dongyu and guarding against the barbarians. The generals Guan Yu, Dianwei, Xu Hu, Qin Qiong, Zhou Cang, and Peng Yue all rewarded a hundred taels of gold and ten pieces of brocade as encouragement. Guan Yu captured Cao Sui and beheaded Cao Sui. Mao was the chief hero in quelling the rebellion in Beijing, and Guan Yu was granted the title of Marquis of Hanshou Ting to honor his contributions!"

Liu De was taken aback, what does the emperor mean?Although beheading Cao Mao is indeed a great achievement, but the other generals have made no less contributions than Guan Yu. Why is Guan Yu singled out for reward?And one is the title of Marquis of Ting?

By the way, the Marquis of Hanshouting sounds familiar!
Moreover, even though he named himself Marquis of Dongyu and General Anbei, he actually controlled only a county town of Dongyu. Apart from the rewards of gold and brocade, he did not get any more benefits, such as expanding his territory. What, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is quite on guard!

Liu De didn't think too much about it, and quickly thanked His Majesty. Guan Yu and other generals also got up from their seats and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

Liu De cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Yan, the captain of the city gate, made a lot of contributions during the battle with the Beijing camp. If Wei Yan hadn't been well dispatched and commanded properly, the city gate would have been broken by Cao Mao. I have the courage to ask for Wei Yan's help." achievement!"

On the way back, Liu De learned about Wei Yan from Guan Yu and Peng Yue. Liu De did not expect that the Wei Yan he summoned would appear so suddenly and serve as the captain of the city gate.

However, because of Wei Yan's position and Li Zhen's obstruction, Wei Yan did not come to meet the emperor with Liu De and others, and is still cleaning up the battlefield in Nancheng.

Since Wei Yan has meritorious service and will be his own in the future, Liu De saw that the emperor did not award him a reward, so he asked for credit for him.

"Oh? I didn't expect there to be such a loyal and brave man. Li Sima, is what General Anbei said true?" Ji Yuanwu asked Li Zhen, who was not far away, why there was no meritorious official named Wei Yan in Li Zhen's report. ?
Li Zhen looked calm, stood up and said: "Your Majesty! This person does have some small credits, but this person doesn't take others seriously and utters evil words because of his small credits. I think that if such a general holds an important position, wouldn’t the court be ashamed? Besides, being the captain of the city gate isn’t his duty? So I took him out of the credit book!”

At this moment, King Luan, who had been silent all this time, also said: "Your Majesty, the emissary sent by the minister to inform Wei Yan also said that this person is a bit arrogant and disrespectful!"

"This..." Li Zhen said so, and Ji Yuanwu was still a little skeptical, but King Luan said the same, and Ji Yuanwu also thought that Wei Yan was useless, and Ji Yuanwu didn't like this kind of courtier the most, so he said: "If that's the case, then follow Li What Sima said!"

"Your Majesty!" Liu De was persuading: "If you don't reward those who have made meritorious service, it will make the soldiers feel cold!"

"Liu De, pay attention to your tone. As a courtier, just do your duty well. Don't rely on some merit to make progress!" Li Zhen couldn't help scolding Liu De when he saw that Liu De was very displeased.

"Your Majesty! The old minister thinks what General Anbei said is very true. Those who have made meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and those who are guilty must be punished. The good will advance every day, and the evil will stop every day. If this person's character is arrogant and rude, he will not be rewarded. Don't let people in the world say that your Majesty is intolerant, that talented people in the world will not serve the court, soldiers will not go to death, scholars will not sacrifice their lives, and the country will be in danger! Please also reward Wei Yan according to his merits, so that the hearts of the soldiers will be safe. heart of."

"Chen Situ is right!"

Ji Yuanwu nodded and said, falling into hesitation, just said that there would be no reward, but now he changed his words, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
After hesitating again and again, Ji Yuanwu still said: "In this case, then reward Wei Yan with ten pieces of brocade to show his achievements!"

"On behalf of Wei Yan, I thank Your Majesty!"

Liu De was helpless. In Liu De's view, although Wei Yan's credit was not obvious, but he was able to lead the soldiers to guard the south gate. His Majesty's heart can be described as cold, I am afraid that rewarding himself is just to prevent the world from saying that he is unkind.

It's time to go!
But there is one more thing before I leave.
"Your Majesty! I still have something to report!" Liu De said again.

"What else is there for General Anbei?" Ji Yuanwu already seemed a little impatient. In his opinion, Liu De's value has been exhausted, and he should be sent back to that bitter cold place early.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Yang Zichuan, the shepherd of Yanzhou, deliberately did not send reinforcements to support Leyang City, causing Leyang City to be destroyed. There were only one father and son in charge of Leyang City, and only one survived. The people are trembling under Lin Hu's iron cavalry. Your Majesty! Yang Zichuan led the wolf into the house, the crime is heinous, please ask your Majesty to seek justice for the millions of people in Yanzhou!"

Liu De kowtowed to the ground.

"What! Yang Zichuan, how dare he?" Ji Yuanwu looked disbelieving, waved his hand, and shouted, "Where is Yushi Zhongcheng?"

"The minister is here!" An official hurried out of his seat.

"Censor Zhongcheng, do you know about this?" Ji Yuanwu asked.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know, maybe there are some misunderstandings, maybe I don't know if General Anbei has evidence?" Yu Shi Zhongcheng asked with his head down.

"My lord, I don't have any definite evidence, but what Yang Zichuan did is outrageous, and everyone in Yanzhou can testify. How could there be a misunderstanding?" Liu De retorted.

"Okay! General Anbei, please be safe and don't be impatient! I still believe in General Anbei, but Tangtang Zhoumu is an important minister of the country, how can he act lightly without evidence! Censor Zhongcheng said he didn't know, and General Anbei could not produce specific evidence Come on, then I will order Yushi Zhongcheng to send a supervisory censor to investigate clearly and report this matter to the imperial court!"

"The minister leads the order!"

Ji Yuanwu thought for a while and said, "Zhang Zhong!"

"The servant is here!" Zhang Zhong responded quickly.

"Order Song Shi to go with the supervisory censor!"

"Yes!"

"On behalf of the millions of people in Yanzhou, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" Liu De kowtowed.Although he didn't reach his final answer, Liu De was already very satisfied.
