Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 483 Emperor Xian of Han entered Chang'an, General Lu Bu!

A month passed quickly, and after the fall, the weather gradually began to turn from hot to cool.

When Liu Xie sent people to Jizhou to bring Zhen Mi and his eldest son Liu Jue from Yecheng to Chang'an, the army led by Lu Bu and Guo Jia also arrived in Chang'an.

Outside the city of Chang'an, a huge army marched along the official road towards Chang'an City. Both sides of the road were filled with people who came to welcome the triumphant army after hearing the news.

Every soldier couldn't help but straighten his chest at this moment, with his hearts filled with incomparable pride and excitement.

Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang rode their horses together. Seeing such a lively scene, smiles appeared on their faces.

"Kong Ming, you have made a great contribution to the success of this campaign against Cao Cao. I think you will definitely have a place on the second floor of Lingyun Pavilion."

Guo Jia smiled at Zhuge Liang.

The Battle of Chibi was very crucial. If Zhuge Liang had not destroyed Cao Cao's main force in one fell swoop through this battle, the fight against Cao Cao would have continued for a long time.

Considering Zhuge Liang's performance in this battle and his military achievements, he will definitely be able to escape to the second level of Lingyun Pavilion.

As for the third floor, that is a bit difficult. After all, there are only five people who can reach the third floor now.

Of course, Xu You can definitely reach the third floor.

After all, he endured humiliation in Cao's camp for so long, successfully persuaded Cao Cao to surrender and commit suicide, and also captured the false emperor alive. It really is unreasonable not to ascend to the third level.

"Then I'll borrow the good words of Minister Guo."

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, with some anticipation in his heart. After all, this was something that would go down in history, and even he could not escape the temptation.

Sima Yi, who was at the back, felt a little uncomfortable as he listened to the conversation between the two people in front.

"Zhuge Cunfu has made great achievements this time, and he will definitely enter the second floor of Lingyun Pavilion, but I am still wasting time on the first floor..."

Sima Yi did not make any contribution in the fight against the enemy this time, so it was naturally impossible for him to enter the second floor of Lingyun Pavilion.

One can imagine how upset he felt when he was surpassed by Zhuge Liang.

However, Sima Yi was not someone who would be easily discouraged. He quickly regained his spirits and made up his mind: "Although the world is now unified, I still have a place to use my talents."

"As long as I work harder in handling government affairs in the future and let Your Majesty see my loyalty and diligence, I may be able to enter the second floor of Lingyun Pavilion after my death."

"Yeah! That's it!"

Sima Yi regained his spirit. Since he could not compare with Zhuge Liang in military achievements, he decided to find another way.

No matter what, the ranking cannot be lower than Zhuge Liang, at least it must be on the same level!

On the other side, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also in the team, enjoying the cheers and praises of the people.

After the war, the three of them completed the duties assigned by the emperor, and naturally they had to return to Chang'an to report on their work and achievements.

"This is Chang'an..."

Liu Bei looked up at the most magnificent city in the world and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

For him, Chang'an was a place that only existed in the mouths of others, and he had never been to Chang'an.

But now he had finally arrived at the imperial capital he had longed for, and he had come here as a meritorious official.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei felt his eyes moisten.

Zhang Fei said, "Brother, we should be happy to be in Chang'an. Why are you crying?"

Liu Bei wiped his tears and smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that the wind and sand are too strong and I am a little blinded."

He then turned his gaze to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and said sincerely: "Second brother, third brother, I can get to where I am today entirely thanks to your help. If it weren't for you two, I'm afraid I would still be weaving mats and selling shoes."

"The best thing I have ever done in my life is to acknowledge you two as brothers."

These are Liu Bei's true feelings.

Hearing these heartfelt words, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't help but be moved and their eyes were red.

"Brother, what are you talking about!"

Guan Yu held onto Liu Bei's hand tightly and said, "When you and I swore brotherhood in Taoyuan, I vowed to be with you through thick and thin, and to be with you through thick and thin."

"If it weren't for my brother, I would just be a fugitive, and I might not know where I am now."

"To have achieved what we have today is not the result of any one of us, but the result of our brothers working together."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Me too!"

Liu Bei was overwhelmed with emotion when he heard this. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears and choked up, saying, "Today's sandstorm... is too strong."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei burst into laughter.

At this moment, in the black carriage escorted by Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Ju Yi and Taishi Ci, surrounded by the army.

Emperor Xian of Han was carefully lifting a corner of the carriage curtain and looking at the scene outside through the gap.

"Is this... Chang'an?"

Emperor Xian of Han murmured to himself with mixed feelings.

He was forced to move the capital to Chang'an under the control of Dong Zhuo and his generals Li Jue, Guo Si and others. That was the most humiliating time in his life.

At that time, Dong Zhuo was arbitrary and domineering. He was just short of shitting on his head and manipulating him like a puppet.

As time passed, Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and others had long since turned into dry bones in tombs and turned into a handful of yellow earth, but he was even more miserable, having gone from being a puppet emperor manipulated by others to a prisoner at the mercy of others.

He couldn't even keep the title of emperor.

Someone stole the country passed down by our ancestors.

He is a sinner of the Han Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xian of Han could not help but feel sad. He covered his face and cried, feeling extremely heartbroken.

……

After arriving in Chang'an, the army remained stationed outside the city, while Guo Jia, Lu Bu and others entered the city and headed for the palace.

"Xuan——"

"Duke Wen Lü Bu, Imperial Censor Guo Jia, Minister of the Chancellery Xu You, Minister of the Left Zhuge Liang, Palace Attendant Sima Yi, Governor of Jingzhou Liu Bei, Marquis of Duxiang Zhang Liao, Marquis of Guanjun Zhang He, and General Zhao Yun..."

"Go to the palace to see the emperor——!"

The sound of the eunuchs singing rituals came from Chengming Hall and echoed in the empty square outside the hall.

After hearing the singing, Lu Bu and other civil and military officials walked along the imperial road guarded by the Yulin Guards towards the majestic hall at the end of the steps.

Everyone's heart was filled with excitement.

Inside Chengming Palace, there were many dignitaries.

All civil and military officials have put on the most solemn attire today. The majesty of the Han Dynasty and the solemnity of the Celestial Empire are fully displayed at this moment.

Sitting on the main seat in the hall, Liu Xie was wearing the imperial crown that he would only wear on important days, exuding infinite imperial majesty.

Led by Xu You, the greatest contributor to the campaign against the rebels, Lu Bu and others followed closely behind and they entered the hall together.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you——!"

Everyone paid homage to the emperor above.

Liu Xie looked at the ministers below through the crown tassels, and did not ask them to stand up immediately. Instead, he smiled and asked the ministers on his left and right: "My dear ministers, what did you see?"

All the ministers were stunned when they heard this.

What did you see?
Just when no one spoke, Yang Xiu rolled his eyes and stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen the pillars of the Han Dynasty!"

"Lord Wen and the Chief Censor are the pillars that support the Han Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xie choked.

This was what he was going to say, he was just pretending to ask so that he could say it out loud, but Yang Xiu answered it first. This kid really has a stubborn character.

After glancing at Yang Xiu, Liu Xie smiled and said, "Yes, they are all the pillars of our Han Dynasty!"

"Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the country has been divided, the mountains and rivers have been shattered, the princes of the world have divided their own kingdoms, the people have suffered, and the country is in danger of collapse."

"It is thanks to the efforts of all of you, my dear ministers, and countless soldiers that we have achieved the unified world we have today."

"Mr. Wen and his men are the best among these ambitious and capable officials. They are worthy of being called the pillars of the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Xie's words made Lu Bu and others very excited.

The pillar of the Han Dynasty!

What a high evaluation!
Guo Jia bowed deeply and said: "It is our duty to support the Han Dynasty and be loyal to Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is the one who has made the most significant contribution to the Han Dynasty's resurgence and the subjugation of the four barbarians!"

All the ministers in the hall echoed and praised.

Liu Xie laughed and continued, "I haven't seen you for a while. Feng Xiao has become more and more talkative."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"But I am not a person who thinks highly of myself. I know all the contributions of you dear ministers."

"Now that the rebellion has been crushed, it's time to reward them according to their merits."

What I just said were just polite words. The highlight of today is rewarding people according to their merits.

Liu Xie's eyes first fell on Xu You, and he sighed, "Ziyuan, I haven't seen you for a few years. You have lost weight."

"His Majesty!"

Xu You's nose was sore when he heard this, and he bowed down directly, saying with tears in his eyes: "In the past few years, I have missed Your Majesty all the time, and I want to return to Your Majesty to serve you."

"I have been imprisoned by the thief Cao, and have wanted to commit suicide many times to thank Your Majesty, but I have not seen Your Majesty unify the Han Dynasty, and I am unwilling to give up, so I have been lingering on until now."

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of you!"

Xu You cried as he spoke, and many ministers couldn't help but raise their hands to wipe away their tears when they heard his words.

Of course, I don’t know whether it’s true or not.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xie said, "Fortunately, Ziyuan, you are alive. Otherwise, I would have lost an arm, and the position of Shangshu Ling would have remained vacant."

At this point, Liu Xie paused for a moment, then continued, "Xu You, listen to my orders!"

Xu You was shocked and bowed his head quickly: "I am here!"

Liu Xie said: "Xu You endured humiliation and hardship in Cao's camp for several years, persuaded Cao Cao to surrender, and captured the false emperor alive. His meritorious service is outstanding."

"In recognition of his merits, he was granted the title of Marquis of Anguo, appointed as the Minister of Chancellery, and allowed to enter the third floor of Lingyun Pavilion!"

An Guo is on the same level as Yang Biao's "loyalty and righteousness" and Zhang He's "championship", and is more valuable than an ordinary marquis.

Not only that, his name was listed on the third floor of Lingyun Pavilion, making him the sixth minister to enter Lingyun Pavilion!

Although all the ministers knew that Xu You would be rewarded handsomely this time, they still couldn't help but feel envious after learning the content of the reward.

Xu You is really going to soar to the sky this time!

The only drawback was that he was already quite old, and his family and descendants were killed by Shen Pei, so there was no one to succeed him.

However, as long as they can work hard to give birth to one or two children, this wealth can still continue.

"My lord, thank you for your grace!"

Xu You was moved to tears and kowtowed deeply.

All the hard work over the years has not been in vain!
After accepting the title, Xu You stepped aside and did not mention the matter of Cao Chong.

Now is the time to reward people based on their merits. It would be a shame to say these things. He is not the kind of person who lacks tact.

This kind of thing can only be reported to the emperor in private.

After conferring the title on Xu You, Liu Xie asked, "Where is Kong Ming?"

"The minister is here."

Zhuge Liang stepped out and saluted with great grace.

Liu Xie smiled and said, "Kong Ming, you have lived up to my expectations and succeeded in defeating Cao. I am very pleased."

"I confer upon you the title of Marquis of Wuxiang, and your name will be listed on the second floor of Lingyun Pavilion."

Zhuge Liang bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Xie nodded, then looked at Lu Bu, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Lord Wen, I heard that you let Cao Cao go during the Battle of Red Cliff?"

Lu Bu was waiting to be rewarded with great joy, but after hearing this, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

After scratching his head, Lu Bu said with a red face: "Reporting to Your Majesty... Indeed, this is true."

"I was careless for a moment and did not follow the military advisor's instructions. I accidentally let Cao escape. I hope Your Majesty will punish me."

Lu Bu knelt down and apologized.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I was not thoughtful enough and I am guilty. I would like to use my merits to atone for Duke Wen's crime."

Lu Bu looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, I am responsible for my own mistakes. This matter has nothing to do with the military advisor. I am willing to take the blame alone!"

If you are wrong, you are wrong. You must stand at attention when you are beaten.

How could he get Zhuge Liang to help him atone for his crime?
Seeing this, Liu Xie smiled and said, "Well, stop arguing about the crime. I am just asking a question."

"I am familiar with Lord Wen's rough character. Although he is brave, he is also careless."

"Since Cao is dead, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong. This is just a lesson. Lord Wen, please don't make the same mistake again in the future."

Lü Bu said with shame on his face: "I will remember this!"

Liu Xie nodded and continued, "Although Lord Wen made mistakes, his expedition to the south to fight the enemy is also an outstanding achievement."

"He first killed Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, and then successively killed Xu Huang, Le Jin, and Xu Chu. His bravery was unparalleled."

"In recognition of his merits, he was promoted to the rank of general, and his fief was increased by 800 households."

The position of general was finally given to Lu Bu.

Lü Bu was overwhelmed with emotion when he heard this. He kowtowed and thanked the emperor, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Great general, his lifelong dream.

He finally got this far!

From being a frontier cavalryman to rising to the pinnacle of military power, he had suffered too much and experienced too many things.

Only he himself knows the sadness in it.

"Fengxiao, Wenhe."

Liu Xie would never forget Guo Jia and Jia Xu, so he spoke.

They both stepped forward.

Liu Xie said: "Fengxiao, you have made great contributions in conquering Jiangdong, so I will appoint you as the Grand Tutor and take charge of government affairs."

"The position of Chief Censor will be taken over by Kong Ming."

When these words were spoken, all the ministers were shocked and their eyes were focused on Guo Jia.

Guo Jia's performance in this campaign to the south to fight the rebels was actually very ordinary, but the emperor promoted him to the position of Grand Tutor anyway.

You must know that Si Tu is the head of the civil officials, and the emperor's favor to Guo Jia is simply beyond measure!
