Xiaoqi

Amidst the sound of kneeling and worshiping, Jin Gu pushed open the door of the imperial carriage, Emperor Liu Xieqiang stretched out his head calmly, looked at the surrounding situation, and said weakly: "Everyone, get up and drive into the city."

After Liu Xie finished speaking, Jin Gu closed the car door behind him, rode his horse and bowed his hands in front of Li Li. After seeing Li Li nodding his head slightly, he retreated to the imperial driver again, waved his big hand, and signaled the driver to continue driving.

The main hall of Changle Palace.

The court meeting, which had been interrupted for more than a month, resumed normal order again. The day after Emperor Liu Xie returned to Chang'an, the morning court proceeded as scheduled.

"Hundreds of officials enter the pilgrimage to meet"

The sky was slightly bright and dawn was breaking in the east, and the main gate of the main hall of Changle Palace opened on time as usual.As Xiao Huangmen stood in front of the palace gate and shouted sharply, all civil and military officials stepped up the jade steps, took off their swords and shoes, and entered the hall in an orderly manner.

Not long after, hundreds of civil and military officials all stood still, and the palace gate was closed immediately.

In the court hall, the position of the upper court in Dong Zhuo's period was impressively adopted, with the officials of the court standing on the right and the generals of the Xiliang Army standing on the left.On the right side, San Gong is in front, followed by Jiuqing, and then there are officials at all levels, with more than one hundred people.On the left, Li Jue, who had closed the door to thank guests for a long time, stands in the front, followed by Li Xuan, Jia Xu, and Li Ru, and the rest are: Xu Rong and Bo Cai, the commanders of the Wuzu Camp, Dian Wei, the commander of the Huben Camp, and Dian Wei, the commander of the Wuwei Camp. Teng Xiao was commanded, Guo Si was commanded by the Qinglong Camp, Tietuo was commanded by the County Mansion Soldiers, Huan Fei was commanded by the Feixiong Bing, Li Dian was commanded by the Supply Battalion, Teng Yu was commanded by the Wushuang Iron Cavalry, Cheng Yi was commanded by the trapped camp, and Li Zheng was commanded by the Longxiang Camp , Zhang Liao, deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, and other battalion leaders.In addition, most of the deputy commanders of the battalions were ordered to come to the court, and dozens of generals in the army, including Hu Zhen, Ma Chao, Talu, Yingu, Tiegu, and Yang Ding, all stood in the court hall.

At first glance, the camp of military generals on the left is not as numerous as the civil servants on the right, but it is more powerful, majestic, and murderous.When the palace gate was closed, the civil servants on the right couldn't help but feel the chilling aura of the generals' camp, which made many former court officials frown, and strong disgust appeared in their eyes.But some civil servants who are timid and save their lives are stooped and do not look sideways. They dare not look at the burly and majestic general on the left, for fear of getting into trouble and losing their lives.

According to the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty, most of the generals in the Xiliang Army are not qualified to go to court. Their official positions are too low to reach the official positions of participating in politics. Many people even have no formal official positions at all and have not been granted by the imperial court. , can only be Li Li's home general and guests.However, the ordinary people and reckless warriors in the eyes of these civil servants have gone to the court one after another, and they are grandiosely serving as ministers with them.It has to be said that Li Li's power is growing day by day, commanding the entire Xiliang army, and firmly controlling Chang'an City.Therefore, if one person attains enlightenment and ascends to heaven, the Xiliang generals who entered the palace this time will undoubtedly be awarded the title of the imperial court.

Chapter 334

The camp of military generals headed by Li Jue entered the court, which made many veterans of the former court feel powerless and desolate in their hearts.

In the past few months, the city of Chang'an has undergone drastic changes, and there have been endless wars and wars.

First, the death of Dong Zhuo, a thug with power over the government and the public, made all the officials applaud and smile happily, thinking that the big man was saved.And although their own interests have been exploited a lot by Dong Zhuo, the foundation is still there. Once Dong Zhuo dies, they will usher in greater fame and wealth.It's a pity that after Wang Yun came to power, he disappointed all the officials. Instead of getting the promotion he expected, he was suppressed by Wang Yun.Almost all major affairs in the court were decided by Wang Yun with a single word. They had no right to speak at all. The situation was the same as that of Dong Zhuo's time.

Wang Yun's move can be described as the best interpretation of the ignorance of literati.

A group of veterans of the imperial party, such as Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, etc. not only failed to gain military power, but were deprived of their existing troops by Wang Yun. Yushi Zhongcheng, and Zhu Jun was also transferred from general to Yushi Zhongcheng.These two famous generals who wiped out the Yellow Turbans were worthless in Wang Yun's eyes. Instead of promoting them, they were made civil servants instead.

The position of Yushi Zhongcheng is neither high nor low, neither high nor low, and it is extremely useful.Usually there are two to three people, but they can also be used flexibly. It is not impossible to appoint five or six people to serve as Yushi Zhongcheng.During the prosperous period of the Han Dynasty, this position can definitely be regarded as an extremely prominent official position, with a wide range of authority, long tentacles, and great authority.However, since the fall of the imperial power, this position is like a tasteless official position, with a name but no real power.Equivalent to idle work.

When Wang Yun was in power, famous generals like Huangfusong and Zhu Jun couldn't get any benefits, let alone others.Wanting to seek fame and fortune from Wang Yun is tantamount to idiot's dream.

Fortunately, Wang Yun's time in power was not long. As the Xiliang army counterattacked Chang'an, the power in the world changed hands again, and Li Jue and Guo Si occupied Chang'an City.As a result, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty ushered in the darkest and most terrifying period of time.Under the rule of Li Jue and Guo Si, soldiers in Xiliang conscripted and plundered, ransacked families and exterminated families at every turn.The officials have no status at all, and they are terrified and panic all day long.

Fortunately, Li Jue and Guo Si didn't rule Chang'an for a long time. Now it's Wuwei Li Li's turn to take charge of the army and serve as regent to assist the country.

Yesterday was a grand and majestic welcome event.Let the officials see hope, and it seems that the day when they hold real power is not far away.Full of longing for the coming emperor.In their view.Although Li Li did not make proper arrangements for the Emperor Shengjia and the Empress Dowager's Luanjia, those are small details and are not worth mentioning.And during the whole process of welcoming the driver, Li Li's performance was remarkable, and he did not appear to be rampant once he was successful, although there were some unsatisfactory things.But in general, he still abides by the way of being a minister.Therefore, they even discussed in private that after all, Li Li was young and immature, so he didn't know how to make good use of such a golden opportunity to take over the power of the world.On the contrary, it is simply stupid to show the majesty of the emperor everywhere, and a bastard with a yellow mouth is not enough to achieve great things!

Among the hundreds of officials in the Manchu Dynasty, there are not a few people who have this kind of thought.For this reason, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night, looking forward to how much benefit they could get and what position they could get at the court meeting the next day.

Now, the morning court is about to begin, civil and military officials enter the court, and the palace gates are closed.

Seeing that there are as many as five or sixty people in the military general camp, and most of the generals are unfamiliar faces, many people with bright eyes among the civil servants suddenly felt that something was wrong, and thought to themselves that this morning's court might just be a change of soup, just like in the past. As always, Wuwei Li Li is by no means a kind person, he is going to monopolize the government.

It's just that what puzzled the officials was that the grand master's chair that had been placed on the right corner of the high platform on the jade steps was missing. Could it be that it was stolen and sold by some eunuch who was not afraid of death?

"His Majesty bows down to the officials!"

Just as the thoughts of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were racing, Dong Hong's sharp and piercing voice resounded through the hall.

Immediately, I saw Emperor Liu Xie, under the protection of two golden-armored generals, wearing a crown and dragon robe, walking steadily to the dragon chair and taking a seat.The two golden-armored generals stood on the left and right of the dragon chair, with sharp eyes and stern faces, looking down at the civil and military officials in the hall indifferently.

"Your Majesty, my lord, long live my emperor!"

All the officials in the hall had no time to see who the two standing behind the emperor Liu Xie were, they bowed their heads and knelt down, shouting long live.However, no one in the military camp headed by Li Jue bowed down. They just bowed and saluted, and the words in their mouths were the same as those of civil officials.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Liu Xie condescendingly looked down at all the officials and bowed down, his expression was quite excited, and his heart suddenly felt boundless pride, his immature heart was pounding, and he regained the feeling of being king.For a split second, he was emotionally agitated and filled with emotions.It's not easy!In order to return to the throne of the dragon chair, he has gone through many hardships and repeated bumps. In the past few months, he has been terrified, afraid that he will never see the scene of all the officials bowing down in unison again.

"Cough!" Just as Liu Xie was secretly intoxicated, a light cough came into his ears, making him tremble all over in fright.Immediately he forced himself to be calm and said in a loud voice: "Everyone is in peace!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" In the main hall, all civil and military officials agreed in unison, and immediately stood up straight, looking up at Liu Xie in the high hall and the two golden armored generals behind him.

"Eh? Li,,,,,,, Li" When many people in the civilian camp on the right saw the face of the person standing behind Liu Xie, dozens of officials screamed in astonishment, and some even directly said Lily's name.

That's right, the person standing on the left side of the dragon chair is Wuwei Li Li, and the Jinjia general on the right is Li Zhi, the commander of the Golden Guards.The person who reminded Liu Xie with a light cough just now was Li Li.Looking around the huge main hall of the imperial palace, except for him, Li Li, who would dare to make any noise in the court hall.

After looking up to see clearly where Li Li was standing, many people in the lower hall were filled with righteous indignation and anger.Because Li Li was standing in the wrong position, it was against the rules of etiquette, it was a big treason!How can he stand on the high platform where the dragon chair is placed, parallel to the dragon chair?

Upon closer inspection, Li Li was indeed standing on the high platform on the left side of the dragon chair, while Li Zhi was standing on the next level of jade steps three feet away from the right side of the dragon chair.

Therefore, Li Li and Li Zhi looked like one was taller and the other was short. Li Li was obviously a head taller than him, and his tall and straight body was one foot taller than the dragon chair.In this way, Li Li stood on the left side of the dragon chair, far more eye-catching than Liu Xie sitting on the dragon chair, like an adult looking after a half-grown child.

"Weichen, Qi, Zuo, Your Majesty!" Just as the civil servants were glaring at Li Li, Jia Xu suddenly came out and said respectfully in a drawn-out tone.

Liu Xieqiang nodded calmly. Seeing this, Jia Xu unfolded the bamboo slips in his hand and said in a loud voice: "Since Fenwei General Lv Bu assassinated Dong Xiangguo, Chang'an City has suffered many wars, and the people have suffered unspeakably. Li Li, the general of Xiaoqi, was crowned as weak. Ling was ordered to garrison Wuwei County on the border of Liangzhou, and successively put down three turmoil in Liangzhou, wiped out the stereotyped army in Liangzhou, subdued Zhangye County and four counties in the Western Regions, and suppressed 30 Xiutu tribes. , General Xiaoqi worked tirelessly to lead his army to defeat Lv Bu's rebel army, rescued His Majesty and the Queen Mother in time, and then eradicated Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and other rebels who plotted against the law, put down Chang'an, and welcomed His Majesty and Queen Mother back to the court. In the past two years, General Xiaoqi has regained Wuwei The achievements of the four prefectures and the suppression of the Qiang rebellion, and the feats of suppressing the Chang'an rebels and rescuing people in distress. Such outstanding feats are rare in ancient and modern times!

Therefore, please Your Majesty to reward General Xiaoqi and the soldiers of the Xiliang Army. I have prepared the rosters, Your Majesty please read them! "

After Jia Xu finished speaking, Chang Shi Dong Hong quickly took the bamboo slips and handed them to Liu Xie for inspection.

When Liu Xie was holding a heavy roll of bamboo slips, a trace of violence flashed in his eyes, but his expression did not change significantly, and he still made a gesture of concentrating on flipping through the bamboo slips.

Although the strange color in Liu Xie's eyes was extremely subtle and difficult to be noticed by others, it could not escape Li Li's eyes.For a moment, his expression didn't change at all, but he sneered in his heart, and a cold and invisible murderous aura emanated from his whole body.

Li Zhi on the right side of the jade steps keenly sensed the strong murderous aura on Li Li's body, his tiger eyes changed slightly, he gave Liu Xie a cold look, and then looked down at the civil and military officials in the hall indifferently.

Not long after, Liu Xie read the bamboo slips seriously, handed them to Dong Hong, and said in a loud voice: "Everything Jia Xu asks, I will approve. Dong Hong, declare the decree!"

"Promise!" Dong Hong bowed in response, immediately walked up to the front of the hall, and read aloud: "By God, the emperor said: Li Jue was granted the title of Chariot General, Marquis of Chiyang. Li Li was General Zhengxi, Marquis of Wuwei. Mansion, false festival, in charge of military affairs, master of killing; Li Xian was General Anbei, Marquis of Wuxiang. Li Xuan, Prime Minister of Wuwei County, was appointed Shangshu, Marquis of Duxiang; Jia Xu was Minister of Huangmen, Marquis of Duting. Xu Rong was granted the imperial title General Pingnan, Marquis of Guannei; Bocai, General Pingbei, Marquis of Guannei; Teng Xiao, General Pingdong, Marquis of Guannei; Guo Bang, General Pingxi, Marquis of Guannei.

Dianwei was appointed General Huben, Li Zhi was General Huwei, Huan Fei was General Huwei, Teng Yu was General Yangwu, and Fan Yong was General Yangwei.

Duan Yan, Pound, Tituo, Jin Gu, Zhang Liao, Talu, Yang Ding, Hu Zhen, Li Zheng, Li Meng, and Li Dian were granted the titles of Zhonglang General.

Ma Chao, Tie Xiao, Yingu, Tiegu, Wang Fang, Meng Chong, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Cao Xing, Yang Qiu, Huan Bao, Huan Lang and other 28 people were appointed as school lieutenants.this"

After reading the imperial decree in one breath, Dong Hong took a deep breath, feeling dry and uncomfortable.He was uncomfortable, and the hundreds of civil servants on the right side of the hall were even more stunned, their eyes almost popping out.

Good guy, two county marquises, two township marquises, five Guannei marquises, general Siping, five miscellaneous generals, twelve Zhonglang generals, and 28 school lieutenants were conferred at one time.In addition to the former generals of the Xiliang Army, there are nearly a hundred generals in the entire left general camp, all of whom are generals with a rank ratio of [-] stone or above.

Such a large-scale imperial conferment, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, apart from the two edicts conferring meritorious officials at the beginning of the founding of the country and Guangwu Zhongxing, this is the third great imperial conferment.

Such an imperial conferment is indeed a rare great conferment in the Eastern Han Dynasty for nearly 200 years, and it is really breathtaking!

Chapter 335

The sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear.

Zhengxi General Mansion.

At this time, the General's Mansion was not the previous Longxiang Li Mansion, nor the Grand Master's Mansion where Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun had lived, but the new mansion where the original Zuo Zhonglang combined Cai Mansion and Situ Mansion into one.

The Cai Mansion originally occupied a large area, comparable to the mansion of the Sangong, but when Wang Yun took power, he was angry and condemned Cai Yong, causing the Cai Mansion to be severely damaged and dilapidated.However, Situ's Mansion, which is adjacent to Cai's Mansion, was also smashed and destroyed after Wang Yun's death. The gate of the mansion was broken, and the courtyard was in a mess.

In view of this, when Li Lili's army entered Chang'an, he ordered people to start repairs, demolish the walls, and merge Cai's mansion and Situ's mansion into one mansion.There are many people and strength, and now the courtyard has been preliminarily cleaned up, and the plaque of "General's Mansion of Zhengxi" has been hung, so the Xiliang Army Commander's Mansion is located here.
