Han family achievements

Chapter 513 Misbehavior
"Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhi..."

Liu Bian narrowed his eyes and looked at the vast south.

It has to be said that these three southern states are really big, with vast land and sparse population, and have not yet been developed.

"The Shi family is truly extraordinary. They were able to withstand Yuan Shao's army of 100,000..."

Liu Bian touched his chin and chuckled.

It has to be said that among the aristocratic families of the Han Dynasty, after hundreds of years of development, none of those that have made it to prominence are simple ones.

Huangfu Jianchang looked at it for a while, then said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, the secret talks in the Imperial City Palace also found a piece of news that there are barbarians helping the Shi family, but there is no actual evidence yet."

Liu Bian hummed, nodded with some emotion, and said, "It's almost the same."

Since Emperor Guangwu's restoration, the rebellion of the barbarians in Jiaozhi has never been completely resolved. The former governor of Jiaozhi, Zhu Fu, fought against the barbarians many times, with both sides winning and losing.

The scholars and the barbarians have been at odds with each other countless times, but they never thought that they would eventually collude with each other and become accomplices to each other.

Huangfu Jian was silent and didn't say anything.

He was only a captain in the Imperial City and had no right to advise Liu Bian on such military and national affairs.

If you really have to speak, you have to be extremely cautious.

Liu Bian looked at it carefully for a long time, and said to himself: "Divide Jiaozhi equally? If Liu Biao really wants to send troops, he will be courting disaster. I'm afraid that Jingzhou will be swallowed up by Yuan Shao in one gulp!"

Huangfu Jian said: "Your Majesty, Liu Biao is also bargaining, saying that it is not suitable to send troops in the cold winter, and it is very likely that he wants to reap the benefits of being a fisherman."

Liu Bian shook his head and said, "They are all mediocre people. Without the trend of the times, they will not be able to achieve anything. Don't worry, let's wait and see."

Huangfu Jian raised his hand and said, "Yes. I'll take my leave."

Liu Bian suddenly waved his hand and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Pan Yin."

Huangfu Jianchang was a little curious. He put down his hand and looked at Pan Yin who was walking towards the screen.

Pan Yin brought out a plate and came in front of Huangfu Jianchang.

Huangfu Jian stared blankly at the purple-red flying fish dress, a golden token, and a sun-moon long sword on the plate.

Seeing him in a daze, Liu Bian came over, reached out and touched his clothes, and said with a smile: "These are made specially for you by me. They are your official uniform, token, and sword."

Huangfu Jianchang still didn't understand, and said: "Your Majesty, didn't you give it to me before? These are..."

Liu Bian said with a smile, "That was given to the Imperial Palace Colonel, but I feel that Colonel is not enough to match your merits. I plan to promote you to the rank of General, at least the same as the third rank of the imperial court, plus your title, so that it will be worthy of your status."

Huangfu Jianchang was surprised and delighted. He immediately knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!"

Liu Bian reached out his hand, pulled him up, and said with some emotion: "Your Huangfu family, I, and the Han Dynasty have all made great contributions, and this is what you deserve. I have asked the Grand Marshal's Mansion to draft this general rank, and I will issue an order to you soon. The rebels have fought, and we have had a few years of peace. It's time for you to get married. Do you have someone you like? If not, I will ask the Queen to help you find one. Many girls from the aristocratic families in the capital are well-educated, gentle and lovely."

Huangfu Jianchang felt both grateful and embarrassed. There were indeed quite a few people he liked, but he couldn't marry all of them home as his wives.

Liu Bian looked at his hesitant expression and suddenly remembered something. He waved his hand unhappily and said, "Okay, you decide for yourself. Let your brother report it to the queen and check it out. If you want more, I will marry you."

"no, I'm fine,"

Huangfu Jian shook his head repeatedly and said anxiously: "My status is special, so I still need to keep a low profile and do things in a low profile."

Liu Bian was thinking about how many things Cao Cao had messed up because of women, and wanted to persuade Huangfu Jianchang, but he felt it was not appropriate, so he had to say: "It's up to you. After you get married, you should focus on being a husband and a father. You should be responsible for your wife and carry the responsibility on your shoulders." "I will remember this." Huangfu Jianchang was an extremely smart man, and he could easily hear Liu Bian's advice.

Liu Bian didn't say much, and said, "Okay, go ahead. If the money is not enough, just take it from the inner treasury."

Huangfu Jianchang breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and said solemnly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After saying goodbye and leaving Chongde Hall, Huangfu Jianchang pulled up his hood and disappeared into the darkness. At this moment, he inexplicably felt at peace.

He left quickly. He was familiar with the palace and quickly left the palace and went to the imperial government office in the southeast corner.

"Mr. Cheng!"

Huangfu Jian, holding a plate, excitedly pushed open the door of Cheng Yu's duty room and strode in.

Cheng Yu was writing a document. When he looked up and saw Huangfu Jianchang, he hurried forward, closed the door, and said, "Second Master, is there something good?"

Huangfu Jian sat in Cheng Yu's seat and said with a smile, "Yes, His Majesty has promoted me to the same rank as the third grade."

Cheng Yu did not congratulate him, but instead looked thoughtful and asked, "So sudden? Does His Majesty have something to tell you?"

Huangfu Jianchang picked up the teacup, poured himself a cup, and said comfortably: "No, His Majesty is going to grant me a marriage, so that I can live a peaceful life for two years. Old Cheng, tell me, is His Majesty's favor to my Huangfu family great..."

Cheng Yu glanced at him and said, "The Huangfu family has three marquises in one family, which is unparalleled in the world. The grace of heaven is great. But have you ever thought that your majesty is the emperor, and every move you make has a purpose."

Huangfu Jian drank his tea and blinked. He looked at him and said, "You mean, His Majesty is going to give me a mission? But he didn't say it. Is there any need for His Majesty and I to play dumb? I'm not one of those foreign officials."

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "This is what's weird. Your Majesty didn't say it clearly. This is the point."

Huangfu Jian thought carefully about the situation of the Han Dynasty, especially his duties, and said, "There is nothing special for me to do. The court will not use troops against the Three Qiang for the time being. The southerners are fighting among themselves. The Xianbei in the north are unusually honest now. There is nothing I need to do personally..."

Cheng Yu sat down opposite Huangfu Jianchang and said, "I can't think of it either, but I think it won't be more difficult than before, maybe just a little more troublesome."

Huangfu Jian imitated Liu Bian and waved his hands, saying, "Who cares? His Majesty won't want me to die. It's just that things are a little more troublesome. We just need to do it honestly."

Seeing that he was so open-minded, Cheng Yu did not say much and said, "There is one more thing, which is what I found out in Jizhou, especially the many dirty things involving the salt administration. I thought that His Majesty would be furious and rain down thunder on Jizhou as he did in the past, but His Majesty has not taken any action for so long, which is really strange."

Huangfu Jianchang took out an apple from his arms, took a big bite, and said, "It's not just you. Those people in the court also think that His Majesty has changed. They suspect that His Majesty is planning something big, and they are terrified and cautious."

Cheng Yu was also very familiar with the imperial court. He knew that the court was currently at its busiest, so he shook his head helplessly.

Huangfu Jian was eating an apple, staring at Cheng Yu with his eyes flickering constantly.

Cheng Yu was so shocked by his gaze that he couldn't help but wrap up his clothes and said, "Second Master, don't try to hit on me. I'm fine here and don't want to go out and cause trouble."

Huangfu Jian smacked his lips, wiped his saliva, and said, "The Grand Sima Mansion is actually a good place."

Cheng Yu was stunned.

Grand Marshal's Mansion? That's Cao Cao's territory.

He looked at Huangfu Jian quietly, his expression gradually becoming strange.

Huangfu Jian seems to be out of tune and usually talks a lot of nonsense, but this sentence is obviously not one of them.

Second Master, do you also suspect Cao Cao of doing something wrong?
