Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 42 There must be something strange here
"Isn't this person the county magistrate of Dongyu City? Why is this person famous?"

The Great Zhou Emperor questioned.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Liu Shang is about the same age as the old minister. He once studied in Taixue and was friends with the late emperor. He is good at bowing horses, reading poems and books, and has both civil and military skills. When Emperor Zhuang (grandfather of the Great Zhou Emperor) heard about it, he conquered the northern region. Wei, there was a son of a nobleman riding a horse on the street to hurt someone. The Taizu had a training, whoever rode a horse on the street, beheaded immediately! Liu Shang killed dozens of children of the noble on the spot. Offended many nobles, thanks to the protection of the first emperor, so Emperor Zhuang sent Liu Shang far away to Dongyu City, far away from the capital, and the nobles gave up! When the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he wanted to recall Liu Shang to the court many times as an official. However, due to various obstructions, none of them could be achieved, and it was a pity that the late emperor never forgot about it before his death."

"Ah!" The Emperor Da Zhou stood up with a face full of surprise, and said straightly: "So it is him, no wonder he is so familiar, my father really never forgets him, he has mentioned this person to me many times, and often said that he is a loyal and brave man. scholar."

"His Majesty!"

Chen He knelt down on his knees, his face full of pain, "Liu Shang has guarded the frontier for Dazhou for more than 70 years. Let the enemy army come closer! The second son and the first grandson are not in the battle, leaving only the grandson Liu De. Your Majesty!!! The Liu family is loyal, how can there be disobedience, and I hope Your Majesty will clearly observe!"

"Oh! I didn't expect my Da Zhou to have such a loyal minister."

Emperor Da Zhou was quite annoyed.

After hearing this, Cao Sui turned pale with shock, "Your Majesty, Liu De"

"Okay! Don't talk about Cao Sikong."

The emperor of Zhou Dynasty was full of impatience, he didn't say anything, but he kept muttering in his heart, all these loyal ministers suffered such ordeals because of you gangsters, thankfully I had the foresight to not be deceived by you, hum !

Cao Sui had no choice but to back down, his face was livid and became more and more ugly.

And Li Zhen smiled and said nothing.

"Then how does Chen Situ think to reward Liu De?" Emperor Da Zhou asked softly.

"Your Majesty, after all, Dongyu is a border town, and Liu De's official position is humble. Why not move Liu De to be a fourth-rank Pingbei general, so that the town can be small." Chen He suggested.

"No, Your Majesty, Liu De is still young, how can he suddenly be promoted to a high position? You have to know how many fourth-rank generals I have in Dazhou, and which one is not hard-working. If this kid is promoted to a high position, our soldiers will not accept it!" Cao Sui block road.

"Is it not credit for defeating Donghu's [-] troops?" Chen He retorted.

"It's probably Liu De's luck. Maybe it's because Liu Shang has already defeated the enemy and let Liu De take advantage of it; or it's Dong Hu who withdrew by himself, so what's the credit for it!" Cao Sui said.

Unexpectedly, Cao Sui retorted casually, so he guessed the matter closely. Although if Liu Dedongyu had not been defeated by Donghu, in the end it was Donghu who withdrew his own army. The morale of Donghu's army was low, but they still had the strength to fight. ,This is the truth.

"Cao Sikong, you slander the soldiers guarding the frontier so much, won't the world be afraid of making jokes if you spread it?" Chen He scolded angrily.

"Okay, my two humerus, you said so much is because of Liu De, then Liu Shang has guarded the border for the country for 50 years, but the court has no rewards. Does this mean that the court's rewards and punishments are unclear? I have a way, ministers How about it?"

The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty had a slightly raised beard, proud of the solution he thought of.

"Please also express your majesty!"

"Liu Shang has guarded the border for more than [-] years. After more than a hundred battles, he has worked hard and made outstanding achievements. He is now posthumously named Marquis of Dongyu County. The title will be inherited by his grandson. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Chen He fell to his knees and shouted Shengming, and glanced at Cao Sui, I see what excuses you have to stop him.

Cao Sui knew that Liu De, the county marquis, was destined to inherit, and there was no way to stop him, so he could only think of a way, "Your Majesty, what about Liu De's recruiting order?"

"Well, this trend can't last long, but Dongyu is a border city, and there is a shortage of talents, so it's unavoidable. Let's just do it this time. If there is a next time, we will definitely be punished severely!"

"Yes"

Cao Sui had nothing to say and had no choice but to back down.

"Anyone else have questions?"

All the officials saw that it was all like this, and there was no problem, so they knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is holy!"

"Ha ha!"

The Emperor Da Zhou laughed, it hadn't been so carefree for a long time, all the officials obeyed, this is the majesty of the emperor.

"Come on, draw up an imperial edict!"

"Yes!"

The emperor's imperial decree and the letter from Sikong Mansion were sent to Dongyucheng and Liaocheng (the capital of Yanzhou) respectively on the same day.

During the one month of letters back and forth, Liu De has been busy handling government affairs, training soldiers, organizing people to build houses, occasionally practicing martial arts with Guan Yu, Liu Gui and others, learning how to command troops, and talking to his sister-in-law at home every night , teasing Little Butterfly, although he was busy, Liu De felt extremely fulfilled and very happy.

Of course, there are also troubles. Xi'er has been sad for several days because of Cui Dayong's death. Later, when I heard that Xi'er became Liu De's personal maid, her attitude changed so quickly that it was astonishing. She was very attentive and courteous in every possible way.

Xi'er is kind-hearted. After all, Cui Dayong is his own biological brother. Xi'er's mother came to Liu's house to make trouble for several days, and even made a fuss outside the county government office. Everyone in the city knew about it, which made Liu's house very embarrassed. Xi'er Caught in the middle, but he didn't know what to do, if Liu De was not afraid that Xi'er would be even more sad, he would have killed this shrew long ago, what is it, he is so rampant, he really thinks he has no temper.

Liu De directly told Xi'erming that if his mother dared to be so presumptuous, don't blame him for being ruthless.Cui's mother didn't dare to act unreasonably, but she often spread bad things about Liu De in secret, and some people who knew the truth angrily accused Cui's mother of ignoring the son's benevolence and righteousness, and dared to secretly slander the son, the crime should be punished!

Whenever someone saw Cui's mother, they would point and point. Cui's mother hated it secretly, but there was nothing she could do.

Gongsun Qi reported to Liu De the information on Donghu's withdrawal: "My lord, the final general has found out that it was the Beihu and Qiang tribes united with dozens of small tribes who launched an army of 50 to attack the Donghu royal court, so Dang Yi had to lead the army to withdraw."

"It's a pity that Dongyu's troops are relatively small, and most of them are recruits. Otherwise, if we lead the army out of the grassland, we will definitely take this opportunity to eradicate the Donghu lineage. But that's okay, the Beihu, Donghu, and Qiang are all alien races, not my race. His heart must be different. If the Donghu is destroyed, the Qiang and Beihu will become the next Donghu, so let them eat dogs! Even if the Donghu wins this battle, it will be a miserable victory. Dongyu should have no worries in a year or two. .”

"My lord is wise!"

Gongsun Qi praised Liu De's analysis.

"My lord, the number of refugees in Dongyu City has been increasing recently. If this continues, Dongyu's food and grass may be difficult to maintain, and it won't last until next year's autumn harvest!"

After listening to Tan Zheng's report, Liu De expressed doubts: "This year is not a disaster year, why are there so many refugees?"

Tan Zheng replied: "I sent people to inquire about it, and they said that there were strongmen who took over the mountain as king, plundered property, and destroyed grain fields, but if they didn't kill people, they would just expel the people, that's why so many refugees gathered in Dongyu City. "

"The strongman occupies the mountain as king, how can the state government remain indifferent?"

"My lord, what do you think?"

"There must be something strange about it."

"Call Lieutenant Yannan quickly!"

"Yes!"

　I have a recommendation today, and I will see if there are any recommendations in the future. I hope everyone will take pity on the recommendations and come to me!
