I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 256 Announcing the reward, Liu Bi's ambition
The next day.

All the officials in the city went out early in the morning to Miyagi.

The return of the army requires meritorious deeds, so the court meeting was held two days in advance.

As for the fact that Liu Bang is not in Chang'an, it is not a big problem. Xiao He presides over it daily, and if there are important decisions that need to be made, Lu Zhi will make the decision.

Everyone followed the attendant who led the way step by step.

After more than a year, they have firmly memorized the various rituals that need to be followed when they go to court. Even if they wake up at Maoshi, their minds are still confused, but their bodies respectfully follow familiar postures and movements. Step into the hall.

"Go to court and pay homage to the queen!" The visitor shouted loudly when he saw all the ministers gathered.

Headed by Xiao He, everyone bowed and saluted: "I have seen the queen."

"Excuse me, everyone." Lu Zhi also stood up and bowed slightly in return.

She is now sitting below Liu Bang's original position, more than three feet lower, indicating that she is not the emperor who really ruled the Han Dynasty, and there is a certain difference.

Moreover, if Liu Bang was sitting at the top just now, he would not have to get up to return the courtesy. He could accept the courtesy of his ministers with peace of mind.

At the end of the meeting and saluting, it is time to prepare for the discussion of politics.

Lu Pheasant raised his eyes slightly, his majesty was no less than that of Liu Bang.

The officials in the palace did not underestimate her because she is a woman. There was a person who spoke contemptuously and casually during the performance here before, but was dragged outside by Lu Zhi's order. If Xiao He hadn't stepped forward to intercede, that person would have almost died at that time. Killed by the stick.

Even if he left a small life, he will voluntarily resign in a few days.

Since then, everyone's awe of Lu's pheasant is almost the same as that of Liu Bang. The "respect" may be a little bit worse, but the "fear" must be higher.

After all, His Majesty's former bold and casual image has not been completely erased from their minds, and Liu Bang is also very friendly during banquets on weekdays, so even if he has a cold face in the court, no one will be too scared.

Lu Zhi was different. Few courtiers in the court knew her likes or taboos, and her elusiveness brought fear even more. No one knew whether they would be dragged out of the hall to be rode because of saying something wrong.

She quickly glanced around the people in the hall, raised the corners of her mouth, and said in an extremely calm tone: "Today's morning meeting, let's not talk about trivial matters. As for what is the most important, everyone should know.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Xiao and I preliminarily discussed the rewards for this victory over the generals of the Huns based on the battle report, but some details are not perfect, and we need you to put forward better suggestions.

Prime Minister Xiao, please announce to everyone the reward that was proposed yesterday. "

The ministers in the hall have different expressions.

Most of the military generals standing on the west side of the hall raised their heads excitedly. They only thought about what position they would be placed in later.

Those generals who did not have the title of marquis were calculating the number of enemies they had killed this time, thinking that even if they sealed three to five hundred households and became county marquis, they would still be making an upward class jump.

As for the group of people who held the title of marquis in the founding ceremony, although they seem to be quite calm, they cannot be completely calm.

Compared with ordinary generals, they have made more contributions and received more generous rewards.

If the strength of this reward is similar to that of the founding ceremony, then there will probably be tens of thousands of Marquis in the hall, and more than a dozen Che Marquis of more than [-] families.

The civil servant standing on the east side had a much more exciting look on his face than those generals.

These rewards do not fall on their heads, so there is no need to be excited at all.

In addition, they have many more things to think about than those generals who only have rewards in their minds.

How can those vulgar warriors understand their vision?

This is the first court meeting presided over by the empress, which may lead to changes in the political structure of the Han Dynasty.

Most civil servants are extremely sensitive to these matters, and can conduct a lot of analysis behind the scenes if there is any disturbance, let alone this court meeting.

Their eyes were focused on Xiao He, waiting for him to read out the specific content of this reward.

Standing up slowly, Xiao He looked as calm as water. He had been in charge of more important occasions than the current one, so this matter would not cause any ripples in his heart.

He unwrapped a roll of silk script from his waist, and read it solemnly: "In May of this year, the Xiongnu invaded the border, repeatedly killed and killed our people. Therefore, the king's division was promoted, and all the generals were sent to raise troops. A large number of people attacked it, and it took half a year to finally drive it out of the fortress. The destiny was clear, and it would not be disrespectful to the big man.

This great victory is due to your majesty's profound benevolence and virtue. The soldiers died and the common people followed, and the Hu people were famous and retreated in fear.

Secondly, there are all the generals working together, bravely raising whips and dancing swords. Without you, the Xiongnu would not know how much they would harm the people. "

After Xiao He finished speaking, he coughed lightly, and he had already stated the essential principles, and then it was time to announce the official reward, which was also the most concerned content of everyone in the hall.

After a pause, he continued to speak: "The first person to fight against the Xiongnu is the general Han Xin, who took the overall situation and made a unique strategy. He added 800 households, rewarded [-] taels, and granted [-] mu of land in Guanzhong.

The one who took the second place is Fan Kuai, Marquis of Wuyang.He leads the troops to walk the small roads, break through dangerous passes, take the lead, and forgets to die.Seal a thousand households, reward a thousand taels, and grant two thousand mu of land in Guanzhong.

The latter is Chen Luo, Marquis of Yangxia, who made the strategy with the Marquis of Yang, accompanied by Marquis Wu, and rushed to kill him.Add a thousand households, a reward of a thousand taels, a thousand acres of land in Guanzhong, and a thousand acres of land in the fiefdom.The third is Jiang Hou Zhou Bo.That……"

There is no doubt about the first group of generals mentioned.

They are the leaders of this Han-Hungarian War. Whether it is the overall planning or the fighting on the local battlefield, this group of people is the highest, and no one can deny it.

It's just that a group of more careful courtiers still muttered.

Zhang Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, and silently twirled his beard.

Chen Luo's name is ranked behind Fan Kuai. Whose idea was this?

It seems that the rewards of the two are almost the same, there is no qualitative difference, but a single ranking is enough to explain many problems.

If this was Yang Xiahou's own choice, then he probably didn't want to be so conspicuous, to avoid being too powerful and attracting suspicion.But if it is the result of the discussion between the queen and the prime minister, it will be another situation.

But no matter what the situation was, Zhang Liang felt that it was unreasonable and contrary to common sense.

"Well..." He stroked the tips of his half-grey hair, exhaled a breath, and muttered to himself, "Something is wrong, something is indeed wrong. The actions of the two parties are not normal. They definitely know something that I don't know. "

After a moment, Zhang Liang lowered his head and came up with a bold but terrifying idea.

If there is a problem with His Majesty, then my retreat speed is still too slow now, maybe I will be involved, hey, pretending to be sick, I must start pretending to be sick tomorrow!
The various conjectures in Zhang Liang's mind were constantly approaching the truth, which did not affect Xiao He in front of him to continue reporting the rewards of those generals.

In the main hall, Xiao Hezhong's energetic voice continued to echo, "... General Zhao Chong, who made great achievements in defeating the enemy, was granted the title of Marquis of the county, with a total of 350 households, a hundred taels of gold, and a hundred acres of land.

General Hu Chang escorted food and grass, warned the enemy to attack, and was named a county marquis. There were three hundred households, a reward of one hundred taels, and a hundred acres of land.

Liu Bi, the crown prince of the Dai State, escorted food and grass, and led his army to retreat from the enemy to show off his prestige during the confrontation. He was rewarded with a thousand taels and [-] mu of land.

General Zhang..."

What he is currently mentioning is the content of rewards for ordinary generals. Except for the relevant personnel, the other courtiers in the palace are already drowsy after hearing this.

However, the phrase "Liu Bi, Prince of the Dai Kingdom" suddenly appeared in the middle, which shocked many people and made them sober.

Except for Daicheng, Dai Wang Liu Xi threw away all the rest of the country and let the Huns cavalry plunder wantonly.

This time the Xiongnu invaded the south, and they benefited the most from Daidi.

Correspondingly, the most severely damaged area of ​​the Han Dynasty was the land of Dai State. The people in Yanmen, Yunzhong Second County, and Yan State, which were on the same frontier, were not as miserable as the people of Dai State.

There have always been rumors in Chang'an, and when the specific situation of the land was sent to the palace, Liu Bang was furious and cursed Liu Xi for half an hour.

Therefore, as the acting crown prince, Liu Bi's achievements in the Han-Hungarian War were not small. The rewards he received should have been at the top of the second echelon. Even with his status, there was no problem in reaching the first echelon.

Just according to what was just announced, he was ranked in the third echelon.

But it is really not something that Xiao He can decide, even Lu Zhi is not easy to make a judgment.

According to Han law, Liu Xi's crime was quite serious, and he would have to be deposed as a commoner even if he did not die, which would also affect future generations.

Although he is a powerful nobleman, his relationship with Liu Bang is not good.

In such a complicated situation, no one dared to reward Liu Bi too much before Liu Bang came back.

After all, Liu Bi had just been granted the title of Marquis of Che, but he was reduced to a commoner because of Liu Xi's involvement. This was not a joke, it was a loss of face for the big man.

As a result, there was a touch of sympathy in the eyes of everyone looking at Liu Bi.

In fact, many people can see the child's efforts on the battlefield. Not everyone has the guts to lead the cavalry to charge towards the Xiongnu elite.

Even if you have the guts, you still have to have the luck and ability to come back alive.

Liu Bi took care of both, and made great achievements on the battlefield, but the rewards he received in the end were no different from those of the most ordinary generals.

Those who knew the inside story shook their heads helplessly, with regret in their eyes.

However, after listening to these contents, Liu Bi's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he calmed down soon.

He has been sharpened on the battlefield, and his whole state has changed drastically from when he left Daicheng, and he can already face terrible things calmly.

What's more, now that I am not in a desperate situation, all the power of interpretation is in Liu Bang's hands.

Liu Bang did not make a final judgment, so it shows that these rewards are not his own results.
