Chapter 157 Rewards and Punishments
Duan Yao, Yang Feng, and Dong Cheng got up to thank them.

Zhang Ji and Yang Ding sitting on both sides of them suddenly became extremely conspicuous, and countless eyes looked over.

There is contempt and pleasure.

All of this is their own doing, especially Yang Ding.

He was originally the rear general. If he can make meritorious service in this battle, if he goes a step further, the chariot general vacated after Guo Bang's death may be his.

But he missed this opportunity.

Seeing Zhang Ji and Yang Ding, many people sincerely disdain them.

People from Xiliang are people from Xiliang, rude, short-sighted, and ignorant of destiny.

In contrast, Duan Simmer is simply an anomaly.

Yang Ding regretted it too much, wishing he hadn't come.If I knew this earlier, I might as well hide in the big camp and be quiet.

The three of Duan Yao finished their thanks and returned to their seats.

Wang Jiang then announced the rewards of several surrendered generals.

Although Guo Si committed disobedience, he finally came to his senses and fought hard to the death.The imperial court forgets its faults and remembers its merits, and uses its sons as heirs.

Lieutenant General Xie Guang, who made great achievements in battle, worshiped the general.

Li Ying paid homage to General Guiyi.

Li Huan paid homage to General Xingyi.

After worshiping several surrendered generals, they were rewarded for meritorious service.

The one who contributed the most was Guo Wu, who rushed into the battle several times, beheaded the general and captured the flag, and was listed as the first meritorious service.

Followed by Xu Huang, who worshiped Fengche Duwei and Gaoliang Tinghou.

The rest of the generals have their own rewards.

Among them, Wei Jie's son, Wei Meng, served the country with his own body, and presented the school's seal as a posthumous gift, and he regarded his son as a man.

The rewards are all negotiated with the ministers in advance. Although there are some differences, they are generally in line with the principle of rewarding meritorious deeds and punishing others.

After the edict was promulgated, all the ministers congratulated in unison.

The dance music starts, and the real carnival begins.

The Han people are fond of wine and good at singing and dancing.Infected by each other, even Situ Zhao Wen couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and got up to dance.

Watching a group of old officials with white beards dancing, Liu Xie said that he couldn't bear it, so he simply withdrew and let them have a good time.

-

"Your Majesty, the rear general Yang Ding asks to see you." Yang Xiu, who had just been worshiped as a servant, followed in.

Liu Xie pointed to the seat and signaled Yang Xiu to take his seat. "Dezu, you have worked hard these days."

Yang Xiu smiled openly and humbly.

The hard work these past few days has been really hard, but the sudden promotion from a servant to a servant is enough to reward him for his efforts, even exceeding his expectations, and he cannot bear it.

"Your Majesty loves you wrongly, and I am ashamed and dare not take it. From now on, I will work hard and work hard for Your Majesty."

Liu Xie nodded slightly.

Yang Xiu's promotion rate is indeed a bit large.In contrast, Ding Chong entered the job earlier and made more contributions, but he was only promoted to servant.

The reason for doing this is to give Yang Biao a compensation.

This time the soldier Sun Rui has made great achievements in battle, and according to the previous agreement, he will be promoted to the rank of Taiwei.The current Taiwei Yang Biao will either be promoted to a titular Taifu, or be transferred to another position. Anyway, Taiwei cannot do it.There are no vacancies for Situ and Sikong for the time being, which means that Yang Biao will leave the ranks of the three princes.

Although Yang Biao did it voluntarily, the court must give some compensation in order to explain it to the officials.

Exalting Yang Xiu is one of the compensations.

From another perspective, this is also a measure to firmly tie the Yang family to the chariot of the Han Dynasty.

Take my bowl and eat my salary, you will be a Hanchen from now on, and you can only work for me.

"Although this battle was narrowly won, the situation has not changed fundamentally. You and my ministers should not be careless." Liu Xie reminded: "Within three to five days, after clearing the battlefield, you must leave Huayin. Whether to go to Hedong or to Guanzhong, the ministers have some objections , what do you think?"

Yang Xiu's eyes flashed. "Chang'an used to be the capital of Xijing, and Guanzhong has a favorable location. Emperor Gao once used Guanzhong to build the foundation of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years. If His Majesty does not return to Luoyang for the time being, Guanzhong is indeed an option. It's just that there was a severe drought last year, and Li Jue and Guo Si caused chaos. Guanzhong has ten rooms and nine empties, if I go to Guanzhong now, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand on my own."

"You suggest going to Hedong?"

"The two evils are the lesser of the two evils. I suggest that you go to Hedong for a while to gain a foothold. First, when you come to Hedong near Luoyang, you can comfort the ministers to miss the old capital. Second, when you come to Hedong near Taiyuan and Shangdang, your majesty will occupy Bingzhou and send ministers to Guanzhong to echo each other from afar. , it’s not impossible.”

Liu Xie was noncommittal, and signaled Yang Xiu to lead Yang Ding into the account.

After a while, Yang Ding entered the account.

Liu Xie has already taken off his court clothes and put on ordinary clothes.A little less majesty of the emperor, but a little more easy-going.

Yang Ding was inexplicably relieved.

After seeing the ceremony, Liu Xiesui pointed to the opposite seat, motioning for Yang Ding to sit down and talk.

Yang Ding sat down timidly, and pleaded guilty again.

"General, you let me down very much." Liu Xie said bluntly.

Since Yang Ding had the cheek to invite him to see him and took the initiative to plead guilty, he didn't have to be polite.

Rewarding merit is a way to close the relationship, and the same is true for punishing demerits, it depends on the means used.

The most fearful thing is to respect each other like a guest on the surface, but kill them secretly.

"I'm ignorant, I'm guilty." Yang Ding kowtowed repeatedly, weeping uncontrollably.

Half fake, half real.

He couldn't come here for nothing and go back empty-handed.

He himself can be promoted to the rank without adding an official, but his subordinates must get some rewards.How much is one thing, having and not having is another.If he doesn't bring some rewards back, his subordinates will be alienated.

"Get up." Liu Xie sighed, his tone softened a lot. "Next time, you and I will not have to meet each other."

"Wei." Yang Dingru met the amnesty.After a while, he added another sentence. "I don't dare anymore."

"Is the military record ready?"

Yang Ding took out the prepared military merit book from his sleeve, and handed it over with both hands.

Liu Xie took it, but didn't open it right away.He put the military record book on the case, put his hand on it, and patted it lightly.

"This victory was a tragic one. The northern and southern armies lost a lot. The Weiwei battalion was attacked by armored cavalry, and more than half of it was lost."

Yang Ding was startled slightly, and his mood was extremely complicated.

This is in line with his original expectation. The only variable is that the emperor himself went to fight and saved the situation, so his plan fell through.

Now the handle is in the hands of the emperor, and if the emperor wants to recruit elites from his subordinates, he can't do without them.

If he does not give people, the emperor will not reward him, and his subordinates may kill him directly.

But if it is given to someone, his strength will be greatly weakened, and he will have no bargaining capital in the future.

Take a step back, or carry on?

After a brief hesitation, Yang Ding looked at Liu Xie from the corner of his eye, and then made a decision.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Even Li Jue can't beat the emperor, so why should he seek his own death.

This time he hardly participated in the battle, and for his meritorious service, there were no more than a dozen generals who were eligible to be rewarded with their names.

"As Your Majesty wishes."

Liu Xie nodded in satisfaction, and tapped on the military record on the case with his fingers.

"I want half of the people here."

Yang Ding felt a pain in his heart, but he was inexplicably relieved.

He originally thought that the emperor would leave all the people in the general's merit book, and it was a surprise to leave half of them for him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie snorted, opened the military merit book, glanced at it, read it carefully, then picked up a pen, and ticked off the names of the people who needed to be transferred to the North and South Army.

　Erha Wan, who is looking for dog food for book friends, rewards and adds updates.

　　Everyone vote more, especially recommended votes, don't waste them.

　　With the support of all the bosses, the monthly pass is not bad, and it actually entered the top ten of the new book. I am happy.
