The last three kingdoms

Chapter 64 His Majesty's Award

However, Liu Yin did not write this depression on his face. On the contrary, with a flat expression on his face, he said again: "Your Majesty Qizuo, this case was solved thanks to your Majesty's blessings and blessings." , relying on the concerted efforts of all colleagues in the Lieutenant's Mansion, it is really not the work of the minister alone."

Although Liu Chan is the emperor, he can't do whatever he wants in the affairs of the court. He also has to listen to the opinions of the ministers, especially the ministers. Does Zhuge Zhan have any grudges against Liu Yin?of course not.Regardless of Liu Yin's previous position as King of Anping, or the current position of Lieutenant You Cheng, that is far from Zhuge Zhan's official position of guarding the general to record Shangshu. Zhuge Zhan didn't take Liu Yin seriously at all. The opponent in court is far from being someone like Liu Yin.

Zhuge Zhan was born with the aura of Zhuge Liang, so his official career was smooth sailing, and it can be said that he has risen to the top, but he also made it from the bottom step by step to the position of today's prime minister. Zhuge Zhan is duty-bound to maintain the existing bureaucratic system. It is said that the last time Liu Yin was promoted to Lieutenant Youcheng was indeed due to chance and coincidence - the former Lieutenant Youcheng was dismissed on the spot, and Liu Yin was responsible for saving him - it is a bit unreasonable to let him be promoted again this time Lieutenant You Cheng has an official title of more than two thousand shi. It can be said that he has just touched the threshold of a high-ranking official. If he goes up, he will be an official of two thousand shi. He is a real high-ranking official. Liu Yin has only been promoted for about 20 days Time, such a fast promotion speed, is against the sky!
If the emperor granted rewards arbitrarily based on his personal preferences, the entire imperial court would probably be in chaos. As the chief minister, Zhuge Zhan has the obligation and the right to entangle the emperor's wanton behavior. credit.

Liu Chan thought for a while, since all the ministers had objections, he couldn't insist on promoting Liu Yin any longer, so he said: "Wenxuan has contributed to solving the case, and I will give you three thousand catties of gold, one thousand pieces of brocade, and two hundred more for the feudal city." account, as a reward."

Gold in the Han Dynasty was not gold, but copper. Generally speaking, how much gold was bestowed refers to copper, unless it specifically refers to gold.Three thousand catties of gold sounds scary, but it’s actually not that much. It’s more beneficial than adding two hundred households to the food town. The gold is a one-time reward, but the township is a property that can be enjoyed year after year. Liu Yin's Ba Linghou's fiefdom increased from a thousand households to 1000 to two hundred households. It can be seen from this point that Liu Chan's reward this time is still very generous.

However, this was of no use. Liu Yin knew that the Shu Han was in the most perilous moment. Once the country was subjugated, no matter how many fiefdoms there were, they would come to naught.But thanking Long En is still a necessary step, Liu Yin can't be rude.

"Your Majesty Liu Yin thanked you for your kindness."

Liu Chan nodded in satisfaction, while Zhuge Zhan passed a trace of complacency quietly, and successfully resolved the impact on the bureaucratic advanced system. Zhuge Zhan was very satisfied with the result. As for Liu Chan giving Liu Yin a reward It was thick, but he didn't care about it.

All the ministers also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only Xinxing Wang Liu Xun had a sneer on his face.

However, in view of the limited strength of the Lieutenant's Mansion, Liu Chan specially granted Liu Yin the authority to mobilize the Hubu Camp on the fly.The Hubu (riding) Battalion is one of the three major forbidden armies. Although it is not as famous as Habayashi and Huben, it is also one of the emperor's guards. However, it is different from Habayashi and Huben. Outside the palace, responsible for the outer security of the palace.This time Liu Chan specially granted Liu Yin the power to mobilize the Hubu Camp. The main reason is that this assassination incident made Liu Chan really afraid. Wei Guo's spies were so rampant, and Liu Chan admired Liu Yin's ability and naturally trusted him. Plus.

This result made Liu Yin a little overjoyed. To be honest, Liu Yin really didn't care whether he was promoted or not. If he was given an official position without real power, it would be better to sit on this lieutenant Youcheng. Now he has the authority to mobilize the Hubuying. Liu Yin Yinzhen feels a little like a tiger with wings added. In troubled times, gods, horses, high-ranking officials and generous salaries are just floating clouds. The real power is military power, which is more important than anything else.

The next court meeting was naturally about the disposal of these captured spies. Not surprisingly, they all "enjoyed" the treatment of being executed. No one will be merciful in dealing with spies.

The only difference is that the spies from Wei State were sentenced to beheading, while the spies who hid in the court of Shu State were sentenced to Lingchi.Obviously, Liu Chan still hated these Shu rebels.

The only thing that worried Liu Yin was the matter of Wei Xuewu, but fortunately, he handled it very cautiously. It was obviously impossible for the officials in the court to know of Wei Xuewu's existence, which reassured him a lot.

Just when the court meeting was about to end, the deacon and eunuch outside the hall suddenly came in and said: "General Jiang Wei is asking to see you outside the hall."

Jiang Wei?

Liu Yin couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, our General Jiang has returned from the border!
Liu Yin is no stranger to Jiang Wei. He is familiar with the Three Kingdoms and knows that Jiang Wei is the only general in the Shu Han at the end of the Three Kingdoms, and only he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Deng Aizhong of Wei State and Lu Kang of Wu State. After Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wei has been adhering to Zhuge Liang's behest, making eleven northern expeditions to the Central Plains, and stalemate with the powerful Cao Wei forces in the Longyou area for nearly 30 years. He used the strategy of attacking instead of defending to maintain the tranquility of the northern border of Shuhan .

Regarding Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, there have always been mixed praises and criticisms in history. Some people praised Jiang Wei for keeping the Han Dynasty in his heart. In order to complete Zhuge Liang's unfinished business, he fought hard for thirty years in the Northern Expedition. "An ancient martyr who was ordered to see danger and who surrendered to the festival."However, there are also voices of derogation against Jiang Wei. Qiao Zhou, the doctor of Guanglu, once wrote "Chou Guo Lun", criticizing Jiang Wei for "extreme martial arts and silent campaigns, the people are tired and harassed. Disintegration takes shape."Chen Shou's evaluation of Jiang Wei is also "playing with all the martial arts brigades, and the decision is not clear, and eventually he died." Later generations even said that the responsibility for the subjugation of the Shu Han was pushed to Jiang Wei.

But in all fairness, Jiang Wei is the pillar of the Shu Kingdom, the mainstay of the Shu Kingdom. Maybe Jiang Wei has to bear some responsibility for the demise of the Shu Han, but if there is no Jiang Wei, the Shu Han will definitely not last until 263 AD. will die sooner.

Liu Yin noticed that Liu Chan, the empress who was talking and laughing just now, had a strange change in his face at this moment, his smile became stiff, and his expression was extremely unnatural. , the faces of the other faction seem to be more uncomfortable than swallowing a fly.

Zhuge Zhan, the chief assistant minister, seemed very calm, with a calm expression on his face, but the flickering eyes seemed to indicate the huge waves in his heart.

Liu Chan froze for a long time, then he exhaled slowly, and said to the deacon and eunuch, "General Xuan Jiang Wei, go to the palace."

"Xuan——Great General Jiang Wei enters the palace—" the eunuch of Huangmen sang loudly at the gate of Zhangwu Palace with his signature drake-like voice.
