The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 694 Chapter 693 Triumphant Division
When Yizhou changed hands, Zhang Yan had already returned to Pengcheng. After returning from the Southern Expedition, the disintegration of the Sun Group brought him to a new peak again.

Zhang Yan came back triumphantly, and the emperor personally led the Chinese and Chinese military officials to greet him outside Pengcheng. The road into the city was covered with red carpets, from the imperial palace and King Yan's mansion along the main road of Pengcheng to five miles outside of Pengcheng. Both sides are filled with brightly colored flags, and the emperor Liu Feng and the Chinese and Chinese military officials are waiting here. Both sides of the road are full of energetic guards. The guards are all brightly armored. Everyone looked forward to seeing the people who had come to see the Regent.

How old is Emperor Liu Feng, what can he know?Are all the current arrangements made by officials loyal to Zhang Yan?The Empress Dowager Gongsun, who is the adoptive mother of Emperor Liu Feng, knows this best, but she has become a widow, apart from this seemingly incomparably noble Queen Mother status, what capital can she have to compete with Zhang Yan?

In the wilderness of the autumn wind, Emperor Liu Feng nestled in the arms of the Empress Dowager Gongsun. He was so bored that he fell asleep, and the Empress Dowager Gongsun stood there listlessly. There was no trace of vitality in her body.

The Empress Dowager Gongsun is the daughter of Liaodong Marquis and Liaodong Taishou Gongsundu. Since she was selected into the palace as a concubine for Liu Feng's father, Hanxian Emperor Liu Xie, she was doomed to be lonely in this life.

At that time, Liu Xie was facing internal and external troubles, and was being manipulated by the powerful minister Zhang Yan. He was extremely dissatisfied and wanted to find a chance to escape from Pengcheng and break through Zhang Yan's imprisonment.

At that time, Yuan Shao's daughter, Cao Cao's daughter and the daughters of other ministers were selected and sent to the palace together with the Queen Mother Gongsun, and the Yuan family was the queen as soon as she entered the palace. At that time, Yuan Shao was dominant in Hebei and was powerful. Those who have the capital to compete with Zhang Yan for the world are the ones Liu Xie favors who are most capable of rescuing him.

As soon as Yuan Shi entered the palace, she was favored by Liu Xie. Along with Yuan Shi, the daughter of Cao Cao, who was a noble concubine, was also favored, because the fathers of these two women were all potential stocks valued by Liu Xie. He even hopes to use the fathers of the two of them to rescue him. As for the daughters of the Gongsun family and other ministers, Liu Xie has never seen them, let alone pampered them.

Therefore, the Queen Mother Gongsun is still a virgin.As for the daughters of those ministers, after Liu Xie died, Zhang Yan betrothed them all to some military generals in the court as wives. In the huge palace, only the Queen Mother Gongsun was left to appease the Gongsun family in Liaodong, and Still under Zhang Yan's single-handed manipulation, the Gongsun family became the empress dowager and the mother of a country.

The Gongsun family, who was in the prime of his youth, was disheartened after the power of his father and brother fell, and he only cared about the emperor Liu Feng. He didn't dare to think about anything else. Look lonely.

Standing behind the Queen Mother are Xu Chu, General of Wei, Xu Sheng, Commander of Jinyiwei, Zhang Zhao, Minister of Dali Temple, Chen Qun, Secretary of the Household Department, Yang Biao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Sima Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Bing Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Minister of the Ministry of Industry Hua Xin, Shangshu Guoyuan of the Ministry of War, Tian Feng and Ju Shou, the left and right servants of the Ministry of War, Wang Lang, the capital censor, Gu Yong, the deputy capital censor, Dong Zhao, the left capital censor, Kong Rong, the right capital censor, and Jiang Ji, the capital censor.Zhuge Jin, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Sima Lang, Du Ji, and Xixi, the principals of Dali Temple, and the rest of the officials were arranged one by one in the back according to the size of their official positions.

In fact, although the regent Zhang Yan is not the emperor, he has real power, which is better than the emperor, and even more powerful than the emperor.

After the reform of the Han Dynasty, there was a thriving scene. The emperor was just a symbol. After the reform of the system, Zhang Yan became the leader of the entire country. The regent, prime minister, and general held multiple positions and monopolized power.

A group of people stood in the howling autumn wind for a long time. At first, everyone didn't feel anything, but after a long time, not only their legs became a little stiff, but also their bodies began to feel cold, and some even shivered.

However, no one complained at all, and would rather suffer from the cold wind than miss today's important occasion.

Half an hour later, a Jinyiwei galloped quickly from the official road on a horse. Before stepping on the red carpet, he reined in the horse, jumped off the horse's back, and then went straight to the side of Xu Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei. , whispered a few words in a low voice.

During this Southern Expedition, General Xu Chu of the Guards and Xu Sheng, Commander of Jin Yiwei, were left in Pengcheng to take charge of the safety of the Pengcheng area so as not to suffer any damage.And Xu Sheng, the commander of Jinyiwei, is a lieutenant general-level spy chief, and all things are directly responsible to Zhang Yan, and his official position is also unique, not in the existing official position system, let alone subject to any authority. Constraint, it can be said that Xu Sheng, as the commander of Jinyiwei, is Zhang Yan's third eye.

Although Xu Sheng has great power, he never abuses his power, and he also obeys Zhang Yan's words, what to do and what not to do, he has his own sense of propriety, and he will never do anything out of line, so Zhang Yan trusts him the most one of the people.

After Xu Sheng heard Jin Yiwei's report, he immediately waved his hand to Jin Yiwei, signaling Jin Yiwei to go down, then he walked up to the Queen Mother Gongsun, cupped his fists respectfully and said, "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, the regent's triumphant team has arrived. The time to burn incense will arrive."

The Empress Dowager Gongsun hugged Liu Feng who was sleeping soundly in her arms. After hearing Xu Sheng's report, she said softly "Understood", then gently shook Liu Feng awake, and shouted in a low voice: "Your Majesty, wake up!" Wake up...wake up, Your Majesty..."

Liu Feng, who was shaken awake, opened his hazy eyes, closed them again with great reluctance, and then plunged into the arms of the Queen Mother, never complaining about moving away.

The Empress Dowager Gongsun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the regent is here, don't go to sleep!"

When Liu Feng heard this, he immediately woke up. In his heart, the regent was as terrifying as a nightmare, a monster that can eat people and doesn't spit out bones.

Of course, this statement was also taught by the Queen Mother Gongsun. Liu Feng is still young, and he hasn't seen the Prince Regent for a few times a year. All the news about the Prince Regent is from the Queen Mother Gongsun, but he himself has never seen it. Pass.

The regent came, and the emperor Liu Feng also woke up. All the civil and military officials began to rearrange their clothes and cheered up again. The bands scattered on both sides of the road also began to play the unique triumphal music of the Han Dynasty. , once the melodious sound is heard, it can be heard from far away.

On the official road, Zhang Yan wore a golden armor, a golden helmet, and rode a bloody BMW. He looked extraordinarily majestic. He walked at the front of the team, followed by the civil and military officials who followed him, and the governor of Jiaozhou who came to surrender. , The regent's guards were scattered all around to protect the safety of these people.

Zhang Yan's southern expedition was able to pacify the entire Jiangnan. He was supposed to bring all the generals who participated in the war back to Pengcheng for rewards, but because conditions did not allow, Zhang Yan had to leave some civil servants and generals in Jiangnan to maintain the stability and peace of the entire Jiangnan region.

In addition, Zhang Yan even added some meritorious ministers in advance, Hussar General Zhao Yun, Jin Feng Liyang County Marquis, [-] households in Shiyi, and his rank changed from general to marshal, responsible for commanding all the soldiers and horses in Yangzhou , led the army to garrison Jinling.Zhang Liao, the general of chariots and cavalry, was granted the title of Marquis of Yiyang County in Jin Dynasty, with two thousand households in Shiyi. His military rank was changed from general to young marshal. He was responsible for commanding all Jingzhou soldiers and horses, and led the army to garrison Nanjun.The former general Taishi Ci Jin was granted the title of Marquis of Dingyang County, with [-] households in Shiyi, and returned to Bingzhou. Yongzhou, responsible for commanding all Yongzhou soldiers and horses, led the army to garrison Chencang.Gan Ning, the right general, was enfeoffed as Marquis of Chenyang County in Jin Dynasty, with a thousand households in Shiyi, and led his troops and horses to garrison Wuling.Later General Zhang He was enfeoffed as Marquis of Fengyang County, with a thousand households in Shiyi. He was responsible for commanding the soldiers and horses of Guangzhou, and led the army to garrison Cangwu.

Lu Meng, the general who conquered the South, was transferred to Jiaozhou. He was not only responsible for commanding all the soldiers and horses in Jiaozhou, but also served as the governor of Jiaozhou and led the army to garrison Longbian City.

General Ma Chao of Zhenxi, General Lu Su of Zhennan, General Zhou Tai of Zhengdong, General Pang De of Anxi, General Ma Dai of Pingxi, General Jiang Qin of Annan, and General Li Dian of Pingnan all increased their salary by [-] shi.

Because of his outstanding achievements, Sima Yi, the governor of Jingzhou, not only continued to serve as the governor of Jingzhou, but also was granted the title of Marquis of Shouting of Han Dynasty, [-] households in Shiyi, and the title of guerrilla general.

As for Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, as well as the soldiers of the various armies, Zhang Yan gave material rewards according to their merits, and followed him back to the court.

After about a stick of incense, Zhang Yan led the triumphant soldiers of the Southern Expedition and finally appeared in front of Emperor Liu Feng and all the civil and military officials. At this time, Liu Feng became nervous instead, and tightly grabbed the Queen Mother's hand. hand, and asked in a low voice: "Queen, will the regent not eat me?"

The Queen Mother Gongsun smiled, stroked Liu Feng's head lightly, and said, "Don't worry, with the Queen Mother here, he won't do anything to you."

After saying this, the Empress Dowager Gongsun felt a little lost in her heart. Even so, if Zhang Yan really wanted to do something to Liu Feng, there was nothing she could do, and she could only watch helplessly.

"The Prince Regent is here!"

I don't know who yelled, and everyone became vigilant, and they straightened their clothes one after another, preparing to salute when the regent arrived.

Zhang Yan was riding a tall horse, with a melodious voice in his ears, and in front of him were the emperor Liu Feng, the Queen Mother Gongsun, as well as all the civil and military officials and the common people. This kind of treatment, probably only he can enjoy in the whole world, right?

Although it is said that the world is not yet completely peaceful, sooner or later he will not be able to escape from his palm. This small Pengcheng can no longer serve as the capital of a country.The construction of Luoyang City has been completed, all the facilities are in place one by one, the thought of moving the capital once again surged up in Zhang Yan's mind...
