I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 161: Become a Marquis? Two thousand stones?

Here Zhang Rang was watching the play, while He Jin was silent. Over there, the emperor looked at these two mediocre people and became more and more angry, and said in a hateful voice:
"General!"

"My lord, my lord is here!"

"I order you to get me a charter immediately. You must open the road as soon as possible and bring back all my money and meritorious ministers!"

"Ah this."

The emperor asked He Jin to find a way to open the road?

He Jin's face looked troubled and his mouth was full of bitterness.

What can he do?

Although there are still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang, it cannot be said that there are no soldiers available, but they are weapons for the country and should not be touched lightly.

It is said that the Baibo thieves who invaded Taiyuan numbered in the tens of thousands. This is the standard. If there are too few of them, it will be useless. If there are too many, then something will happen.

But the emperor asked him to come up with a solution, and Ding Yuan would definitely not be able to do it on his own, so He Jin racked his brains and could only come up with a compromise:

Could the mere Baibo thief still be able to stop him?

They were already responsible for escorting them back from this trip.

Zhang Rang said it confidently.

After Zhang Rang finished speaking, the emperor fell silent.

Two thousand stones, a title.

Once the third assistant is corrupted or there is a change in the capital, no one except General Huangfu can take on this important task. How can he be easily transferred to Jinyang? "

The Yellow Turban bandits from Gebei in Runan to the southeast have entered the area around Yingchuan with a massive force and may threaten the safety of the capital at any time.

This was the reward that the emperor wanted to bestow on Su Yao.

This is the young hero who put an end to the Xiongnu rebellion after leaving the border with Baiqi.

"No!"

In this way, when he comes back in glory, whether your majesty gives him a two thousand stone promotion or makes him a marquis, there will probably not be so much criticism between the government and the public. "

"How about asking General Huangfu to come out and lead 8,000 men to the Bingzhou Dingyuan troops and garrison in Jinyang. We don't want to win a battle, but just compress the space and open the road to escort General Wang and others back. It should be feasible."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Rang came out of the queue and saluted the emperor:
"In my opinion, this matter of Baibo bandits blocking the road should be left to our Governor Su.

By leaving it to them to handle on their own, Your Majesty will not only save the military expenses of sending out a large army, but also give him another military merit.

General Huangfu can be said to be our final ballast and pillar.

After all, we can't just leave Hedong Baibo across the river and kill them all to Taiyuan to serve as an escort for the emperor's treasure.

Zhang Rang retorted:
"The Kingdom of Liangzhou in the northwest, Han Sui and others are raiding the three auxiliaries, and the former general Dong Zhuo is clumsy and difficult to control.

He Jin couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.

At that time, others might think that he had fallen into someone else's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

That guy, if the Baibo thieves find out, they will laugh to death. If they come back and cross the river decisively, and go straight to Luoyang, it will be a big deal.

A few days ago, the last frontline battle report received was the news that Su Yao had completely quelled the Xiongnu rebellion and that a large number of captives were on the way.

This news can be said to have shocked the capital.

They went one step further than their original plan to only regain the Hetao area, and actually defeated them all in one battle!
A young man with only a weak title actually came out of the country with a hundred horses in less than two months. Not only did he not spend a penny on the court, but he also brought back such a rich harvest, greatly promoted the country's prestige, and accomplished such an achievement.

How to award the reward has become the focus of everyone.

This is also what the emperor is most concerned about.

Privately, he wanted to make great use of this young hero who had brought him such a surprise.

After all, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and others are already old, and Dong Zhuo's performance is not so reassuring.

At this moment, the emergence of such a young hero gave Liu Hong a lot of room for imagination.

What a God-given talent!

However, what he didn't expect was that after the motion to award the reward was issued, it would be met with opposition from the entire court?
Liu Hong expected that Zhang Rang, the eunuchs and the Taiwei Fan Ling who was close to him expressed their opposition.

But what he didn't expect was that those aristocratic families, and even the general himself, were opposed to his hasty reward.

"Then General Wang Rou is an important minister with two thousand stones. He has made great achievements in strategizing and quelling the rebellion. There is no problem in being rewarded with a title.

But Su Yao came from a humble background and had no qualifications, and he was guilty.

This time, he has become the governor of the capital despite being only a weak official, which is already an exceptional promotion.

Although this time it seems that the credit is not small, the essence is just to quell a rebellion in the vassal country, and it is another two thousand stones and a feudal prince.

I urge your Majesty to think twice about such a generous reward. "

That's right, the focus is on the two thousand stones and the title.

The discussion at the court meeting at that time was very intense, and the reason was very simple. The opposite of Su Yao's outstanding military achievements was his lawless attitude.

After killing the eunuch in anger and offending the eunuch, Su Yao became free and his lawless behavior never stopped.

Not only was there a rumor that he assassinated dozens of officials and people in Jinyang, but there was also the fact that in Wuyuan, he implicated local powerful people for no reason, recruited them excessively, and forced them to join the army.

As for going to war without orders, abusing the power of the scepter, marrying the princess of the vassal country privately, and handling the capture in private, it is even more intolerable to those who have a background in Confucian classics.

For a time, everything was said in the court.

Some people suggested that he should be sent to the mainland to serve as a county magistrate, so that he could cultivate himself and hone his character.

There are also suggestions to confer a great title on him and bring him many favors and honors, but to deprive him of his position and prevent him from entering the officialdom.

There were even calls for Su Yao to be arrested and imprisoned, and the charges to be severely investigated.

I really couldn't come up with a solution for several days.

Although Liu Hong could be decisive, he was a little confused in such a posture.

Regarding Su Yao, in Liu Hong's eyes, his label can be described as complex and changeable.

At first, Liu Hong thought this was an endorsement launched by a famous family.

Although he loves his talent and wants to use it, he also needs to be careful.

Therefore, this proposal itself was a test by the emperor. He wanted to see the attitude of the officials inside and outside the court towards this boy.

After all, this person is too young, only twenty years old.

And he, Liu Hong, is getting more and more sleepy now. Looking at the incompetent prince, Emperor Liu Hong has a sense of urgency that time cannot wait for us.

If such a sharp blade, after being sharpened by his hands, became the weapon of those aristocratic families, then Liu Hong would really be shooting himself in the foot.

But now looking at the civil and military arguments and objections in the court, he was confused again.

Who is this Su Yao?
How could he win the disgust of this whole house?

No, it might be a bit too much to say that they were all opposed, but it was true that no one spoke to that kid.

This surprised Liu Hong.

Are those aristocratic families putting on a show for him, or is it true that this kid has nothing to do with them?
Especially the general He Jin, why did he himself start to raise his hands to oppose the people he recommended?

"General, this Su Yao must not be reused!"

It turned out that just before the emperor's court meeting, at the general's residence, Cavalry Commander Zhang Miao, Northern Army Lieutenant Commander He Yong and others had communicated with him early.

"From the original letter, it seems that although this person has great talents, he is like a captive, frivolous, lawless, greedy for money, women, etc."

"Not only was he disrespectful to Shangguan Wangrou, but after capturing the royal court, he actually took the initiative to solicit women in order to have sex with his country's harem!"

"What nonsense are you talking about that there is a Princess Yan here!"

"Arrogant, how arrogant!"

"Moreover, the people of the subject country were sold into slavery and moved into the interior of the prefectures and counties. It was simply arrogant and domineering."

"There are also those who arbitrarily reorganized the system, slaughtered the nobles, overstepped their authority and enfeoffed the country, etc. It can be said that they used the power and spoils of the imperial court to bribe the people and the army. What is their purpose?"

"General, the current situation in the world is in chaos. This man came out of seclusion with a hundred horses, and he can still show such a majestic power that he can destroy the country in one battle.

If he is allowed to control the army of an entire land, if he becomes ambitious, he may easily sweep beyond the Great Wall and the world will be in chaos! "

"How will the general deal with himself as his sponsor one day?"

He Jin was sweating profusely while holding the wine cup. These people represented the opinions of the aristocratic families and celebrities in the world, especially the Yuan family.

That's right, of course Yuan Shao didn't just send a battle report back. At the same time, he also faithfully performed his duty as the censor and sent back all his observations.

Naturally, he was extremely wary of Governor Su, who was unlikely to be his ally.

And it's a coincidence that for those things, Yuan Shao didn't even need to use Spring and Autumn style to distort and slander. Just telling the truth was enough to fully stir the nerves of the civil and military officials of the court.

Therefore, there was the unprecedented and unanimous opposition from all forces that the emperor saw in the court meetings over the past few days.

These stories were brought out and hyped repeatedly during court discussions, which made Liu Hong very unhappy.

How to deal with Su Yao's merits and demerits has not yet been discussed with a reliable result.

Even Lu Zhi, the minister who had been silent until now and was famous all over the world, finally made a proposal that he could be crowned a prince and reward him generously to show his favor and commend his merits.

But two thousand stones should not be given lightly:

"At a young age and with an undecided character, he rose to the top in one step. This may be a disaster rather than a blessing for both the court and the governor himself.

Besides, there is endless turmoil in all directions right now. If His Majesty wants to use him, there are plenty of places for him to shine.

If the reward is so high at the beginning, and the reward cannot keep up in the future, wouldn't it be a grudge against others?
I also ask Your Majesty to think twice. "
