Straight man of steel

Chapter 408: Unbridled Rewards
It took a month and a half for the army to return to Chang'an City from Touman City, north of Yinshan Mountain.

According to the usual practice, enter from the most lively city gate, the horizontal gate.

But this time, Liu Che was waiting for Wei Qing, his former general, a mile away from Chang'an City.

Zhang Yuan and the others saw Liu Che's chariot from a distance, as well as the civil and military officials waiting to greet them.

"Got home."

A bland sentence that couldn't be more bland floated leisurely in the air, causing many people to burst into tears.

"dismount!"

Wei Qing yelled loudly, and immediately everyone got off their horses, and then they all took a step forward and half knelt down.

"The last general pays homage to His Majesty, long live Your Majesty, and the great man wins!"

Liu Che ran up to Wei Qing excitedly and helped him up.

"Okay, you are all flat, you are all heroes of the big man, you have worked hard in this battle!"

With a ninety-degree bow, Liu Che played the imperial power to the extreme.

This worship brought back the hearts of all the soldiers.

The soldiers who entered the city last time were all soldiers of the Qimen Army, and they usually followed Liu Che. Liu Che had to show a sense of distance and majesty in order to control them.

Now 4% of the more than 90.00 cavalry have never met Liu Che, and the first impression Liu Che gave them was that they were friendly.

"Your Majesty is strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away. This battle is only possible because of His Majesty's determination to win the soldiers!"

There is no doubt that it was Zhang Yuan who flattered him.

Zhang Yuan can accurately grasp when to flatter and when not to.

"What General Ranger said is that as long as His Majesty is here, the soldiers will be determined to win!"

Gongsun He followed immediately, only Wei Qing was still in a daze.

"Hahaha, the generals don't need to say that to me, and I won't take your credit.

Let's go, the people of Chang'an City are still waiting for you. "

Liu Che laughed loudly, took Wei Qing's hand and walked directly to his chariot.

He wanted to sit on the chariot with Wei Qing to welcome the cheers of the common people.

Zhang Yuan and the others also returned to the horse again.

Zhang Cigong was followed by a soldier holding the former general's banner with the head of the Aries King on it, and the same was true of Gongsun He.

Yu Shan, the prince of the Xiongnu, was tied up by Wuhuada and followed behind Zhang Yuan.

As for the Huns nobles, they all bowed their heads in the crowd.

"Look, this is the prosperity of Chang'an City, and this is where you will live in the future."

After going to Weiyang Palace later, Liu Che will show his kindness as a holy king and pardon the crimes of these Xiongnu nobles.

Yu Shan will also be made a marquis.

A great Han prince who is pulled out for others to watch at any time, His Royal Highness Prince Zuoxian of the Huns.

It sounds exciting.

It is nothing for all nations to come to court. What Zhang Yuan yearns for is to capture all the kings, princes and queens of the surrounding hostile countries to dance in Chang'an City. This is the demeanor of a great country.

Before entering the city, all civil and military officials standing on both sides of the city gate bowed to Liu Che's chariot.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations to Da Sima Weiqing on his triumphant return. The great man is all victorious!"

Da Sima!
Everyone was shocked!
Since Liu Che came to the throne, Queen Dowager Dou abolished Tian Fu's position as Taiwei, and this position has never appeared.

Now Liu Che announced to the world in another form, he gave Wei Qing the military power of the whole country.

Zhang Yuan had just told Wei Qing about something that happened not long ago, and it didn't take long for it to come true.

After Wei Qing heard this, he subconsciously looked back at Zhang Yuan, and Liu Che also noticed Wei Qing's look back.

"Teacher, the former general has been named the Great Sima, and he is now among the third princes."

Gold seal and purple ribbon, before the Han Dynasty, only the prime minister enjoyed this kind of treatment.

Now it's two people.

One is in charge of the country's government affairs and assists the emperor, and the other is in charge of the country's military affairs.

In the end who is more important, the prime minister is naturally the leader in peacetime, but now is wartime.

All Liu Che's ruling philosophy is to fight the Huns.

After 2000, in fact, such a government has another name, that is, the military government.

The current prime minister, Xue Ze, is fundamentally a transparent person, and Wei Qing is now an existence above ten thousand people and under one person.

"He deserves it. There is no other man suitable for this position."

After entering the Hengmen, all the flowers floating in the sky are petals, petals of various colors.

Shanglin Garden is estimated to be full of flowers, and Lantian Mountain should be full of greenery by this time.

Zhang Yuan's thoughts have been traveling far away in the sky, and the cheers of the people are getting louder and louder. A brave woman will find a cavalryman she likes to sit on his horse.

As for those Huns, including Yu Dan, they were already stupid.

What kind of city is this?
Compared with Chang'an City, their Xiongnu Da Shan Yu Wang Ting is a pile of shit, worse than shit.

The palace visible from a high place in the distance has already been built with three floors, and each floor is more than ten feet high.

The heights of Weiyang Palace and Jianzhang Palace are higher than the walls of Chang'an City.

Red walls and black tiles, a clean and tidy avenue, and a sunken car track in the middle of the road.

On both sides of the road, countless Han women are spreading flowers, and the ugliest of them are much prettier than their Hun women.

Colorful clothing, scented silk, and yellow and white shining jewelry.

It's all dizzying.

"General Ranger, will I really live in this city in the future?"

Yu Dan suddenly took the initiative to talk to Zhang Yuan.

"Can you dance?"

"Ah? A little bit."

"Then you will not only live in this city, but also have a palace-like house with countless female servants."

"So you can dance so well?"

"Yes, the emperor of our big Han likes people who can dance very much. Men and women are the same, and so are Huns and Han people. We have no ethnic discrimination."

Yu Dan naturally didn't know about ethnic discrimination, and Zhang Yuan said it casually, he just thought Yu Dan was very interesting.

As the first Xiongnu prince to be played to death, and possibly the last, Zhang Yuan always felt that this man had a magical power that made people raise the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

This time there is no tour of the city, straight forward along the horizontal gate, directly under the Weiyang Palace.

The North Palace Gate is wide open for everyone to enter.

Ordinary soldiers, as well as the Xiongnu nobles who were not eligible for rewards, were all left outside Weiyang Palace.

There are two high towers on the right hand side after entering the North Palace Gate. These two high towers are the former Tianlu Pavilion and Shiqu Pavilion, but they are now abandoned.

Going forward is the Jiaofang Hall. Behind the Jiaofang Hall is the Shaofu, which is where Chu Da worked before.

Further ahead is the front hall of Weiyang Palace, and Liu Che plans to announce the reward on the square of the front hall.

Liu Che stood alone on the high platform, with Wei Qing as the leader below, Zhang Yuan and Gongsun He standing on the left and right of him, and behind him were Zhang Cigong, Li Xi, Gongsun Ao and others.

There were dozens of people standing eloquently.

At this time, an eunuch walked out beside Liu Che, and after walking down several steps, he opened the imperial edict that everyone wanted to see.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: The Xiongnu violated the laws of nature, violated human relations, abused the elders and abused the elders, used theft as their business, defrauded the barbarians, and created conspiratorial soldiers.

Poetry is not cloudy, cut down the scorpion, as for Taiyuan, go out of the car to Pengpeng, the city is farther than Shuofang.

There was a former general Qingdu Yanmen to Gaoque, who bowed and led the army, and won great victories. More than ten kings and kings of the Huns were captured, and 12 captives were captured. After the collection of chariots, luggage and livestock, he westwardly settled in Henan, Recovered the old fortress of the Qin Dynasty, expanded the territory of thousands of miles for the great Han, beheaded the light and sharp soldiers, was disgraced in the interrogation, drove more than a million horses, cattle and sheep, and returned with full armor.

Now I am very relieved to promote Wei Qing, the former general's eunuch, to the title of Hussar General, the leader of the Great Sima, and become Marquis of Changping, sealing [-] households.

Ranger General Taixue ordered Zhang Yuanjin to be the Marquis of Xin'an, and sealed off one thousand households.Gongsun He, the general of Qingche, entered the Marquis of Nanmao and closed [-] households.

He promoted Su Jian, the school lieutenant, to the rank of Weiwei, became the Marquis of Pingling, and closed [-] households.Zhang Cigong, the school lieutenant, entered the Marquis of Antou and closed [-] households.

Lieutenant Gongsun Ao entered Jue Heqihou and closed six hundred households.Promoted Zhongfu Zhufu Yan to be the prefect of Wuyuan County.

The remaining bounty goods will not be described in detail one by one. "

Except for Li Xi and Li Guanglian who didn't mention it, all the other generals were rewarded.

As for the rewards of the Huns, it is not time to announce them now.

Now it is a reward for the generals of the Han Dynasty. Instead, if a Hun prince is made a prince, other people will feel more or less uncomfortable in their hearts.

Looking at Liu Che's edict, Zhang Yuan's military merits were assigned to the third position, but Zhang Yuan was already very satisfied.

Gongsun He and Wei Qing are both relatives of the emperor, so it is strange that there are less rewards.

It’s not surprising that the entire edict praises Wei Qing. The great man needs to establish an invincible god of war.

Wei Qing is the best choice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live your majesty!"

After conferring six marquises at once, Zhang Yuan and the others will have to line up in Taichang to learn noble etiquette.

The grand ceremony always comes to an end. Liu Che prepared a banquet for the meritorious men in Weiyang Palace, and the more than 4 cavalry also allowed them to have a carnival for three days and three nights.

Countless drinks and meat were sent to the military camp outside the city.

Except for Wei Qing, everyone's military power was returned to Liu Che.

During the banquet, Zhang Yuan also got to know what kind of ghost Xin'anhou was, and finally he realized that he was a lieutenant named after a place.

And another very important point is that this fucking thing in Xin'an County is to the west of Hangu Pass.

As for where Gongsun He's fief is, Zhang Yuan really doesn't know, but it's definitely not in the pass.

Zhang Yuan thought he could only be ranked third, but now it seems that he is definitely second.

After getting drunk in Weiyang Palace, Zhang Yuan was sent back to his Xinhou Mansion by the eunuch.

A Hou Mansion that is about the same size as Pingyang Hou Mansion.

Because the houses in Chang'an City are well-planned, these marquis mansions are all about the same size.

However, many Liehou will build Houfu in other places, such as satellite cities such as Changlingyi and Maolingyi.

In this kind of place, you can build as big as you have, as long as you don't violate the rules.

As soon as he became a Marquis, Zhang Yuan settled down in his heart the three elements of being a Marquis.

- Absolutely no matter how much the fief's taxes are, as much as the officials of Xin'an County send.

Second, those county soldiers who absolutely don't care about the fiefdom.

Third, you must pay what you need to pay, such as gold, you must send the best gold, and the amount must be sufficient.

Only by keeping yourself safe can you live in peace and quiet.

Zhang Yuan stayed in Chang'an City for half a month this time, ten days of which were spent in Taichang Temple.

In the past, the titles of Dahanqing doctors were all verbal, representing a kind of character.

On behalf of Zhang Yuan, the marquis has completely entered the noble class of the Han Dynasty, and the nobles and the people below are not two kinds of human beings.

Nobles restrain themselves, and they must abide by the etiquette.

What kind of specifications can only be used.

For example, Pingyang Hou and his family have a complete set of chime bells, while Zhang Yuan only has a few, not even one-fifth of them, and they are still unusable.

Music is really something that nobles can play, an elegant art.

Utensils and music are the most able to reflect class.

He also gave Zhang Yuan two ax-like things. It is said that if he makes meritorious service in the future, he can add things to them.

This thing is something that has been passed down forever. The more things are added to the ax, the stronger the family is.

Just as Zhang Yuan was about to return home from Chang'an City, the largest population migration that Zhang Yuan had ever seen occurred near Chang'an City.

When the master father Yan suggested that Liu Che set up Shuofang County, he also suggested that Liu Che immigrate 300 million people to Maoling. He believed that Liu Che's literary and martial arts had reached its peak, and he had to be on top of the imperial mausoleum in order to improve Increase popularity.

Maoling started to be built when Liu Che ascended the throne, and at the same time, Maoling Town was also under construction. Before that, there were no people in Maoling Town. Now Liu Che brought up this matter when the whole country was bathed in the joy of victory.

According to Zhu Fuyan's statement, in order to make the Han Dynasty rich for thousands of generations, all the heroes in the world should be moved to Maoling.

The heroes of the world refer to the big families from all over the country.

Heroes are tyrants, that is, local tyrants and evil gentry who bow their heads to snakes, including powerful clans and upstarts.

Guan Fu, who doesn't know how tall the grass on the grave is, is one of the representative figures, but Guan Fu is considered to be the more promising one among these people.

These people recruited and accepted traitors, tolerated traitors, mixed with the evil forces, and endangered the big men.

At least in Liu Che's eyes, Zhu Fuyan gave Liu Che a legitimate reason to suppress these people.

The best way to deal with the powerful is to uproot them and let them all immigrate to Maoling, right under Liu Che's nose.

If there is any trouble again, troops will be sent to suppress it directly, and these tyrants will not be able to achieve anything.

Liu Che agreed immediately. He believed that this could stabilize the Han Dynasty and ensure the prosperity of Guanzhong, killing two birds with one stone.

In this way, 300 million people left their homes and began to migrate to Maoling.

It was originally a very good thing, but there was one person in this group of people.

A famous knight.

Guo Jie.

Guo Xie didn't know what method he used to persuade Wei Qing to intercede for him.

Wei Qing found Liu Che and persuaded Liu Che, saying that Guo Jie had no money at all, he was not considered a big family, and should not move to Maoling.

Liu Che replied directly to Wei Qing.

A commoner can let Da Sima speak for him. Can such a person say that he is just an ordinary person?

Wei Qing immediately shrank back, his persuasion made Liu Che murderous.
