The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 339

The Han Dynasty always paid attention to fame and status. Gao Shun is now serving as a school lieutenant, but because of his humble background, he has not made any outstanding achievements in the past two years.It is obviously impossible to promote him to General Du Liao based on Lu Bu's recommendation alone.

Taking this into consideration, Liu Hong rejected this suggestion.

Don't look at the absurd behavior of the emperor on weekdays and ignore the government affairs, but in the general direction of employing people, he is more accurate.

Take the mothie rebellion as an example. When the mothie broke through the prefectures and pointed their finger at Luoyang, all the ministers in the court were panicked, and many people even proposed the idea of ​​moving the capital to Chang'an.Only Liu Hong's attitude was as tough as ever, and the soldiers and horses fighting against the rebels from all walks of life were frustrated one after another. The young emperor got up from the throne and ordered the deployment of troops and horses to prepare for the imperial conquest.

Later, someone recommended Lu Bu, which made Liu Hong suspend the idea of ​​personally conscripting.

As early as the sixth year of Xiping, His Majesty the Son of Heaven, at the age of [-], had conquered Xianbei on a large scale in order to demonstrate the national strength of the Han Dynasty, but the results were not very good. Nearly [-] Han soldiers were led by Xianbei Shanyu Tanshihuai. Dugen, Fumi and other three adults were defeated in a disastrous defeat.

It can be seen that Liu Hong is not a timid and conservative monarch.A series of measures such as making great achievements, selling officials to sell nobles, building cities to raise dogs, and reusing eunuchs are undoubtedly the performance of the faint master in the writings of historians.But looking at it from the perspective of future generations, perhaps, the four words 'distinctive personality' could not be more appropriate to describe Liu Hong.

If you are in a good mood, go to the Chongde Hall for the early court, chat with the courtiers, and listen to their opinions and ideas; if you are in a bad mood, just wave your hand, I have the final say on everything!
He is not only an autocratic dictator, but also a pleasure-seeking Han emperor. He will do whatever he wants to do immediately, act recklessly, and do what he likes without any worries or constraints.

It has been eighteen years since he ascended the throne.

This world is my world!
Everything in the world, thousands of creatures, are all mine!
Liu Hong once said so.

So after his death, his posthumous title was Emperor Xiaoling.

Faint but not mediocre, it is called 'spirit'.

The matter of recommending Gao Shun was over, and Lu Bu did not sigh too much.After all, the qualifications are there. Gao Shun's rank of lieutenant is not a bit short of being a general of Liao Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I will recommend Yan Yi, the former general of Chongwu, to take up this position." Lu Bu carried out his second uncle. In terms of status, qualifications and experience, Yan Yi is undoubtedly the best candidate.He had dealt with the Qiang people in Liangzhou for many years, and had served as a general for many years, so his ability to lead troops to fight would not be much worse.

"Is that Yan Yi who wiped out the whole army of Liangzhou Jiaqi?"

Liu Hong's face was slightly cold, he could be said to have a deep impression of this name.When it was reported to the imperial court, Liu Hong was furious when he heard about it. If it wasn't for Yan Li's money going around, how could Yan Yi stay in Bingzhou unscathed.

The annual expenditure for raising such an elite heavy cavalry is enough to feed several 10 people.

"I implore Your Majesty to give him another chance to guard Wuyuan. Yan Yi will be grateful for His Majesty's great favor, and he will make up for his mistakes and serve the country with his death." Lu Bu begged, if Yan Yi can become General Du Liao, Ding Yuan Even if he wanted to use the barracks, he had to weigh whether he had the strength to compete with the Yan family.

"Since Lu Qing has spoken, I will give you this favor."

Liu Hong was obviously in a good mood at the moment, he turned his head to look at Zhang Rang, "Father, you send someone to inform the Taiwei and tell him what I mean."

Taiwei is the highest military position in the Han Dynasty. In addition to evaluating the merits of military officers across the country, the promotion of generals and above must go through the hands of Taiwei.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Zhang Rang didn't dare to say anything more, so he bowed down, and then called Xiao Huangmen, and asked him to take the emperor's oral order and go to Taiwei's mansion.

"Oh, by the way, Lu Qing is new here. Is there a residence in Luoyang City?" Liu Hong asked Lu Bu.

Lu Bu shook his head and replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, I'm temporarily staying in the Propaganda Hall."

Hearing this, the Son of Heaven waved his hands, and said proudly: "Since you have taken the command of Habayashi Zhonglang, you will no longer be able to live in the Xuanguan. How about this, I will give you a house."

Saying that, the Son of Heaven looked at Zhang Rang again, with a smile on his face: "Father, you lost the bet just now, and I will punish you to set up a house in Luoyang City. This is my gift to Lu Qing, how about it?"

The emperor has spoken, Zhang Rang is reluctant, so what can he do, his heart is bleeding, but his face is smiling: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, with such a magnanimous and considerate heart, it is really a blessing for me, a man, and a blessing for the people. Even if your majesty Not to mention, this old slave will definitely find a place for General Lu."

It is rare in recent years to give officials and courts such favors.

"Sir Lu Bu, thank you for your grace."

With this sentence of thanks, the face-to-face is also considered to have come to an end.

When leaving the palace, Zhang Rang was still leading the way.

Originally, this kind of trivial matter of leading the way and seeing him off could be done properly with just one or two small eunuchs from the Huangmen.

However, Zhang Rang insisted on coming.

First, he wanted to show his attitude to the emperor, and second, he did have something he wanted to say to Lu Bu in private.

"General Lu can become a general in the court at a young age, and his future prospects can be described as limitless. I am here, so I congratulate the general first."

On the wider palace white stone road, Zhang Rang cupped his hands towards Lv Bu, with deep meaning on his face: "If the old man is in trouble in the future, I hope General Lu will help him out."

"Of course, if there is anything you don't understand, the general, you can come to the old man's mansion for advice. The ability to kill the enemy in battle is not as good as the general, but when it comes to being an official in Luoyang, the old man can still teach you a thing or two."

Zhang Rang said it seemingly sincerely. These words not only meant to win over Lu Bu, but also concealed a slight self-deception.

After serving the emperor for so many years, Zhang Rang couldn't see the official situation very clearly.

Your Majesty favors you, even if you are a dog, no one in the entire Han Dynasty would dare to step on it; if the emperor doesn't want to see you someday, even if you are a three-legged prince, you will still fall to pieces.

As a newcomer, Lu Bu didn't understand these things, but he was not so simple as to regard this as Zhang Rang's initiative to show his favor.

The old eunuch in front of him looked benevolent and harmless to humans and animals.Don't forget his identity because of this, the head of the ten permanent attendants!

In recent years, Zhang Rang has killed more gentry party members than Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was born in a military camp, so he knew little about the world and the way of being an official.This also made it difficult for Lu Bu to smile at a character like Zhang Rang, who was always teasing him over and over again.

And if you want to be an official in the ruling and opposition parties, this is still a basic operation.

Frontier fortresses pay attention to force, and when they arrive in Luoyang, especially in the palace, they must pay more attention to brains.

Walking out of the palace, Zhang Rang sent Lv Bu to Yuhe Road before stopping.

"General, please go back to the Carrying Propaganda Hall to rest for two days, wait for the old man to vacate the mansion, and then send someone to invite the general." Zhang Rang said.

Lu Bu turned his head sideways, and when the latter saw him looking at him, he smiled kindly and narrowed his eyes.It was only then that Lu Bu realized that not only could he not see clearly the emperor's mind, he could not even fathom this seemingly twilight old eunuch.
