Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

In the Jue Hall, all the officials and generals sat upright, even if they were hungry and thirsty, they did not dare to move their chopsticks, so as not to be rude, after all, the emperor had not yet arrived.

After half a sound, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang entered the hall on foot under the loud reminder of the attendants.

All the soldiers bowed their heads and knelt down, and said loudly: "The minister waits to pay his respects to His Majesty, and may His Majesty live happily ever after."

Liu Chan knelt on the couch, stroking the air, and said in a deep voice, "Excuse me, gentlemen!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"This time in the Northern Expedition to Liangzhou, the generals of the Han Dynasty went to the northwest. Under the wind, sand and cold, they defeated the Wei army and recovered Liangzhou. They made great contributions and the ministers have worked hard. However, the inner government and the ministers of Yizhou who stayed in Yizhou transported food and grass for my great man. , to appease the hearts of the people is also indispensable."

Liu Chan took the wine bottle offered by Gong'e, held it high in the air, and said, "So I respect you here for a bottle, in order to repay the past one-year-old's labor."

"I dare not wait, Your Majesty has worked hard!"

Everyone moved when they heard the sound, and they all raised the wine bottles on the table and saluted Liu Chan on the couch.

"In the battle of the Northern Expedition to Liangzhou, the prime minister was the prime minister. I hereby honor the prime minister with a bottle, in order to reward the prime minister for his achievements since I ascended the throne."

Zhuge Liang hurriedly raised his bottle, and said in response: "Your Majesty, the late emperor did not regard his ministers as humble and kept them in a grass hut, but sent them to deal with important events before collapse. And your majesty has paid respects to his ministers so far, and I am really terrified."

After drinking a bottle, Liu Chan looked at the ministers and said with emotion: "I succeeded to the throne when I was young. At that time, the country was in danger. There were rebellions from the southern barbarians in the south, Sun Wu in the east, and Cao Pi usurped in the north. Fortunately, the prime minister Assisting, retreating powerful enemies outside, and governing the country internally, there will be a big man who will restore thousands of miles of land, and the land will be as prosperous as three states. How can I reward the prime minister?"

"After thinking about it again and again, I thought that only the tiger ben and the bow and arrow can show the prime minister's martial virtues."

Jiuxi, as the name suggests, is nine kinds of items given to ministers, namely chariots and horses, clothes, Lexian, Zhuhu, Nabi, tigers, axes, bows and arrows, and scorpions.

The tiger ben is the tiger ben three hundred or the weapons such as halberds and scorpions held by the guards of the tiger ben, and those who can repel the evil are awarded the tiger ben.

Bows and arrows are Tong Gong Shi Bai, Xuan Gong Shi Qian, referring to special red and black special bows and arrows, which are given to those who can conquer unrighteousness.

These two things were only given to Zhuge Liang by Liu Chan briefly when Zhuge Liang went to Nanzhong.But now Zhuge Liang has experienced many wars, and the results he has achieved are extraordinary, and he is fully qualified to be admired by these two things in Jiuxi.Therefore, Liu Chan planned to give Zhuge Liang a permanent gift to boast of Zhuge Liang's achievements.

It also happens that one Xipei and one state, Qinzhou is captured, and tigers are given; Liangzhou is captured, and bows and arrows are given.After all, besides the title, Zhuge Liang's official position is already unsealable, so it is better to give some honorary items.

Moreover, if Zhuge Liang can really rely on his merits to win the remaining Qixi, he will basically conquer the land of Qizhou.There are thirteen states in the world, the great Han occupies three states, and there are ten states left in the world. If Zhuge Liang can really conquer another seven states, Liu Chan can give Zhuge Liang the king.What is the Oath of the White Horse?Nothing.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and fell into silence for a while.

Qiao Zhou, who was at the end of all the officials, came out, his huge stature was conspicuous, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your servant Qiao Zhou thinks it's okay. Since ancient times, there have been few ministers who have achieved the merits of the prime minister. He has followed wind and rain for more than [-] years. The first emperor, Your Majesty, wiped out the gangsters for the great Han, wiped out the harm of the people, restored the Han Dynasty, and opened up thousands of miles of land, which Le Yi cannot match. Granting these two things is exactly the merit of the prime minister."

The relationship between Qiao Zhou and His Majesty is well known in the court, and Qiao Zhou's statement means His Majesty's attitude.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, then came out and said: "Your Majesty treats his ministers very kindly, but these two things can be granted if they are temporarily given during the conquest, but it is quite unreasonable to give them now!"

Liu Chan showed a smile on his face, and said: "The prime minister does not need to be overly modest. This is not the nine tins but the two tins. It is just to show the prime minister's martial arts, so there is no need to worry."

As he spoke, Liu Chan blinked and said with a smile, "It's just one tin for one state, and this is rewarded by Fa Liang."

Wu Ban laughed loudly, and said boldly: "According to the words of the old minister, what your majesty said is true, the prime minister conquered the two states and got two tins, and against the Wei Dynasty, there are still eight states, so let the prime minister lead us to wait It can seize the land of several states. If it can prosper the great man Jixing, it will overtake Lu Shang and Duke Zhou!"

While speaking, Huang Hao led his attendants into the room, and Liu Chan stepped down the stairs.

Liu Chan took the three hundred tiger talismans from the tiger and ben, handed them to Zhuge Liang who folded his hands and bowed his head, and said, "The three hundred tiger and ben talismans are obtained from Qing's conquest of Qin."

Then Liu Chan once again held the Tong bow and awarded it to Zhuge Liang. He said in a deep voice, "The Tong bow has a hundred arrows, and the Xuan bow has a thousand arrows. It was obtained by Qing from traveling thousands of miles to conquer Liang. Ge Gong can shoot and kill unruly officials under two thousand stones with this bow. Report to me that Ge Gong's government order is also like my government order."

There is no doubt that the latter sentence is for everyone in the court to hear.At this time, the people in the court were even more afraid of Zhuge Liang's power, but fortunately, although His Majesty was getting older, his respect for the Prime Minister remained undiminished, and the terrible power struggle was avoided.

And everyone's thoughts are also what Liu Chan wants. The monarchs of all dynasties have suspected that their ministers' achievements are too high, especially when they are powerful ministers, the monarch is even more afraid.And Liu Chan's move once again eliminated the doubts in everyone's minds, comforted Zhuge Liang's heart, and at the same time provided support for Zhuge Liang's political governance.

Zhuge Liang seemed to be vaguely aware of Liu Chan's purpose, so he didn't refuse anymore. He thanked him and said: "The old minister should do his best to repay His Majesty with his life, and he will always think of Ji Xing Dahan."

Facing Liu Chan's courteous reception, Zhuge Liang also responded, making another vow in words.

Liu Chan sat back in his seat and said with a smile, "Play music and have a feast."

"promise!"

Suddenly, the bronze bell on the side of the hall rang, musicians played silk and bamboo music, and dancers with long sleeves fluttered into the hall to dance lightly.

Afterwards, everyone in the banquet staggered with cups and cups, and there was constant laughter.After drinking for a while, it was Deng Zhi's turn to raise his glass and pay respects to Liu Chan.

Deng Zhi held up the bottle and lowered it slightly, and said: "The minister Deng Zhi respects your majesty for a bottle, may your majesty be in good health, and the great man Ji Xing."

Liu Chan nodded his head and raised his bottle to sip the wine; Deng Zhi drank it all in one gulp to show respect.

Liu Chan blushed slightly, put down the wine bottle, and said, "I haven't seen Deng Qing for a long time. What Deng Qing did in Jiangzhou is beneficial to the country, and it can be used for the rear of the Han Dynasty."

Liu Chan was alluding to the matter of seizing Li Yan as governor of Jiangzhou and pacifying Jiangzhou.

"I would be honored if I could help the Great Han's Northern Expedition." Deng Zhi replied.

"The sound of silk and bamboo is too noisy. Bo Miao walked around outside the hall with me to get rid of the alcohol." Liu Chan pointed to the outside of the hall and said with a smile.

"No!" Deng Zhi knew that this was His Majesty's intention to discuss important matters with him in private.

After speaking, Liu Chan took Deng Zhi out of the hall, and asked his attendants to ask Zhuge Liang to come find him later.

Under the starlight, the cold wind hit his face, which made Liu Chan sober.

Liu Chan stepped under the moon, with his arms behind his waist, showing his majesty, and said lightly: "I ordered Bo Miao to enter Chengdu, do you know what's going on?"

Deng Zhi stroked his beard and thought for a while, straightened his back, and said, "Maybe your majesty ordered your ministers to enter the capital because Wuxi barbarians rebelled and wanted to dedicate Wuling to the Han Dynasty?"
