Chapter 60
The next day, above the court.

Zuo Feng fell to his knees and kept accusing Lu Zhi of his crimes.

"Nonsense! You eunuch, how dare you slander General Beizhong!"

"General Beizhong Lang is a great Confucian in the world, how could he collude with the enemy and betray the country? Your Majesty, please look into it!"

"Your Majesty, we are willing to protect General Lu Zhonglang!!!"

"This must be a slanderous word for eunuchs, and please majesty to blame this eunuch and cut him into pieces!!!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!!!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!!!"

After Zuo Feng finished speaking, all the court ministers jumped out one by one, wishing to beat Zuo Feng to death in court.

Liu Hong, who was sitting high on the head, looked at the people below who were biting each other, and was immediately annoyed. He winked at Zhang Rang who was beside him.

Zhang Rang understood, and immediately shouted in the spy's voice: "No noise!!!"

Immediately, the yelling and scolding gradually dissipated.

When there was silence, Liu Hong said slowly, "Lu Ziqian stood still and surrounded but did not attack. This is a fact. As for whether he secretly communicated with the bandit chief, he should be escorted back to Beijing for interrogation."

"His Majesty!!!"

"Your Majesty! No way!"

"Your Majesty, it is a taboo for military strategists to change generals just before the battle!!!"

"Your Majesty, Lu Ziqian has absolutely nothing to do with the bandit chief!!!"

Hearing this, there was another pleading voice below.

"Shut up for me!"

Seeing this, Liu Hong couldn't suppress his irritability anymore, and shouted fiercely.

Immediately, there was silence in the court, and there was no more noise.

"There is no need to discuss this matter again. Today we should discuss who will succeed Lu Zhi and capture the thief chief."

The ministers below, after hearing these words, also understood in their hearts that Lu Zhi was bound to suffer disaster.

He Jin also understood, even if he knows, the important thing now is to push the person he likes to go up, and he must not let those who are recommended by eunuchs take over this position.

After all, now that Lu Zhi has besieged all the bandit chieftains in a city, everyone used to pick peaches.

Therefore, he understood that the eunuchs brought Lu Zhi down just to make people pick peaches.

And this just happened to let him take the opportunity to pick up a bargain.

This is also the reason why he didn't plead for Lu Zhi before, causing no one in his faction to speak out.

Immediately, He Jin and Lie replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo, the prefect of Hedong, was young and brave. He once pacified the rebellion in You, Bing, and Liang prefectures with Zhang Taichang. He was brave and good at fighting. If he goes to take over, he will definitely win a big victory. Xiao Xiao The thief heads back to Beijing."

"Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo can be replaced!!!"

"Your Majesty, what the General said is true!!!"

After He Jin finished speaking, several people came out to agree with him.

"The general's words are wrong. Dong Zhuo is really brave, but Pan Feng has made great achievements many times and is unparalleled in battle. He is actually the unparalleled general bestowed by the heavens on the great man. He burned the yellow scarf in Changshe earlier and defeated 18 bandit troops. No one else knows about it. I don’t know, the general must know, right?”

Hearing this, Zhang Rang stood on the high platform above and shouted loudly.

"So what? Do you want a kid to lead an army of tens of thousands?" He Jin snorted coldly and retorted.

"General, in terms of merit, Pan Feng is no worse than the Dong Zhuo you mentioned, right?" Zhang Rang asked back.

"Pan Feng is no more than a brat, and he is already in a high position. He is only about [-] years old. Do you still want to promote him again? What's more, the battle of the Changsha was not the result of him alone. I remember that he had the help of General Zhonglang and Captain Qi, and as for the later Dapo Bocai, the first contribution should be General Huangfu, is it because of these contributions that he should be promoted again?"

He Jin sneered and said slowly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Pan Feng is young and promising. If he makes more contributions in the future, he can be promoted again. But now that the imperial court has rewarded him not long after, if he rewards him again, it will make other officers and soldiers who have made great contributions cherish their hearts." Dissatisfied!"

Originally, it was supposed to wait until the war was settled, and then the commander would fill in the battle report to indicate to the court, and then discuss with the important ministers, and finally decide on the reward.

There is no such thing as Pan Feng who has been promoted one after another, it's nothing more than being promoted, but now he is going to be promoted, He Jin naturally will not allow a person from a rival camp to be promoted so quickly.

"What the general said is very true. The suppression of the Yingchuan rebellion is not due to Pan Feng alone. He has been promoted several levels before, but the other people who have contributed to the suppression of the rebellion have not received any rewards. If Pan Feng is rewarded at this time, how can it be?" Will it not cause dissatisfaction among many soldiers?"

Another person agreed.

"Then Yi Aiqing means that I shouldn't reward him?"

Liu Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was already a hint of anger in his words.

He Jin said indifferently: "Your Majesty, this is not the meaning of the ministers. Pan Feng has made military exploits many times. After suppressing the rebellion, he should be rewarded according to his merits. But at this time, he must not be rewarded again, otherwise the soldiers of the world will not be chilled by him? At that time, I am afraid that the country will be shaken, and the country will be unstable!!!”

"Your Majesty, please think twice!!!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!!!"

"My lord, please think twice, Your Majesty!!!"

Immediately, a group of court ministers bowed and bowed one after another, shouting loudly.

Hearing this, Liu Hong's face twitched, his heart was full of anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Just as He Jin said, if he insisted on going his own way, he might force these people to jump over the wall. At that time, he would not know whether the country was stable or not, and his throne might be really unstable.

Therefore, he could only suppress his anger, and said viciously: "In this case, then I will not reward Pan Feng for the time being, and will reward Pan Feng after the rebellion is put down. Will it shake the country and the country?"

He Jin heard the dissatisfaction in Liu Hong's words, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then he shouted: "If it was rewarded at that time, it will be fine!!"

"Okay then, let Dong Zhuo be appointed as Dong Zhonglang General to take over Lu Zhi's post. If I capture the bandit chief, I will give you a big reward. If you lose the battle, what do you think should be done?" Liu Hong's eyes fell on He Jin asked.

"Then let the court ask for the crime, and the ministers will never say anything!"

He Jin bowed slightly and smiled.

"it is good!"

Liu Hong nodded and agreed.

He tightly grasped the corners of his clothes with both hands, and stared fiercely at the courtiers below.

Not enough, he also wants these eunuchs to hold more power, especially military power.

The military power was all in the hands of He Jin, forcing him to follow He Jin's words and appoint Dong Zhuo.

That Pan Feng has repeatedly sent word through Zhang Rang, explaining that he must be Zhang Rang's person, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion is quelled, he must be entrusted with a heavy responsibility to counter these damned courtiers who disobeyed him!
