It's just that as soon as he entered the hall, a breath of exhaustion and luxury rushed over his face, making Zhang Yan feel a little breathless.
"Good guy, how can such a luxury be done!?"
"When I get to Lujiang, I have to give myself a whole body according to this standard..."
Silently complaining in his heart, Zhang Yan only saw that the moment he entered the hall, there were countless luxurious and expensive furniture, and the priceless lacquerware was dotted in the spacious room as if they were free of money.If it were not for the large wooden furniture such as various cabinets of later generations that are not popular at the moment, so all he saw were some small objects such as shelves and desks, Zhang Yan felt as if he had come to those antiques of later generations. Average at the fair.
"Ah, this screen, this Chengchen..."
"This fragrance is made of red sandalwood?"
He glanced at the wooden carving beside him in surprise, and Zhang Yan's eyes revealed a sense of disbelief.This red sandalwood is known as the king of wood, a precious wood that is almost equivalent to the yellow scarf.Unexpectedly, at this moment, he saw such a large pile of wood carvings made entirely of red sandalwood in the side hall of the palace.
This is a precious thing that even Zhang Rang is reluctant to play with.
"General Zhang, stop joking. There are many more of this object in the palace. If the general likes it, you only need to go back and ask for it from the servant."
"If our family remembers correctly, there are hundreds if not thousands of ornaments that the emperor bestowed on Chang Shi."
Smiling, he turned his head and said something to Zhang Yan, the footsteps of Huangmen did not stop, just walked straight forward.
Following behind him, Zhang Yan soon passed through the corridor and entered a wide hall.
On a bed in the furthest part of the main hall, there was a middle-aged man with tired eyes looking at him with great interest.At the same time, beside the middle-aged man, there were two people, one strong and one skinny, looking towards Zhang Yan's direction together with the middle-aged man.
"That's the emperor, go in quickly."
After saying something to Zhang Yan in a low voice, the Huangmen moved away respectfully, out of sight of everyone.Hearing what Huangmen said, Zhang Yan naturally took a deep breath a little excitedly, then strode forward to the middle-aged man and saluted him.
"The last general, Zhang Yan, has seen the emperor."
Respectfully bowing to Liu Hong who was sitting on the Hu bed, Zhang Yan just stood bent over in front of him without saying a word.At the same time, his eyes secretly fell on the middle-aged man.
"Why does Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, seem so old and weak?"
Silently marveling in his heart, Zhang Yan only felt that the first impression he had of the person in front of him was that he was extremely old, even a bit more decadent than Zhang Rang.And when he thought that the other party was only 33 years old at the moment, Zhang Yan felt that the image of Hanling Emperor Liu Hong was far beyond his imagination.
You must know that in the history books about the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Yan once learned that Liu Hong was a relatively outgoing person, and at the same time, his character could even be said to be a little arrogant and willful.From his love for "hu bed", "hu stool" and other things, it can be seen that when he was younger, Liu Hong was definitely a child-like character who had a strong curiosity about strange things.
Before meeting Liu Hong, Zhang Yan always thought that the other party would be a somewhat young and dissolute man, but he didn't want to see now that this emperor who is famous for his eccentric personality was just an old man, which immediately made him feel a kind of... An unspeakable sense of gap.
"Could it be that... those unofficial histories are true?"
Reminiscent of the honorable deeds of the jealous Empress He who poisoned Empress Wang, Zhang Yan secretly clicked his tongue.
In some materials he saw in his previous life, it was recorded that Liu Hong's other wife, the Linghuai Queen Wang Rong who gave birth to the emperor's youngest son Liu Xie, was poisoned to death by this Queen He.And in order to let his son Liu Bian ascend the throne as soon as possible to become emperor, the He family even conspired with his two elder brothers to poison Hanling Emperor Liu Hong.
If not after Liu Hong's death, He's two elder brothers, the then great general He Jin and chariot general He Miao were attacked and killed by eunuchs and Wu Kuang successively, then the big man really fell into the hands of everyone in the He family.
Different from Zhang Yan's complicated mood at the moment, Liu Hong on the other side looked at the handsome young general in front of him with great interest.
Although Zhang Yan had already learned about the existence of Zhang Yan from Zhang Rang before, and Jian Shuo even rewarded this young general when he came to meet him that day, but this time Zhang Yan fought It was the first time Liu Hong met Zhang Yan face to face when he came back to report on his work.
During the court meeting earlier, Hanling Emperor Liu Hong heard various deeds of this young general from the officials several times, and even though there are good and bad deeds in these deeds, there is one thing that cannot be faked.
That is Zhang Yan, who is very good at military strategy. In more than two months, he successively captured Taiyuan and Hedong, two important counties in the Central Plains that fell into the hands of the Yellow Turban. Attention was drawn back to Taiyuan, and Chen Liu's danger was relieved in a disguised form.
If he considered the matter that Jian Shuo had mentioned to him when he returned to Luoyang a few days ago, Liu Hong only felt that Zhang Yan's status in his heart was almost equal to Lu's. Famous generals like Zhi and Huangfusong at that time.
At least this has been achieved on the way of military strategy.
……
"Come here, let me take a closer look."
He said softly in Zhang Yan's direction. When Liu Hong thought of Zhang Yanli's many achievements, as well as the close relationship between Zhang Yanli, Zhang Rang, and himself, Liu Hong immediately became more and more happy with Zhang Yan.
He was already very interested in this marching formation, and some time ago he conferred himself the military post of "Supreme General" to comfort himself.Even He Miao led an army to defeat a group of rebels in Xingyang last year, and he was abruptly promoted from Henan Yin to the position of General Cheqi, not to mention that he is now under Zhang Rang, and he can be regarded as half of Liu Hong. Zhang Yan of "one of my own".
Since it is not a formal occasion like a court meeting at this moment, Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, did not even use the relatively serious self-proclaimed "Zhen" and "Yu Yiren" to face the other party, but called himself "I", wanting to be in Zhang In front of Yan Yan, he behaved more kindly.
"Stand closer, the widow is getting old, even these eyes are a little dim."
"Stand closer, let the widow take a closer look at your appearance."
Chapter 10 I want to serve my country
"Let the widow take a closer look."
Hearing Liu Hong's words, Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel a bit astonished.However, after he looked up at Zhang Rang's direction and found that Zhang Rang lowered his eyebrows and did not express anything, he was slightly relieved.
Stepping forward in small steps, Zhang Yan stopped two meters away from Liu Hong.And after Liu Hong stared at him for more than ten seconds, he let out a long sigh as if he had finally remembered Zhang Yan's appearance.
"Qing is not bad for being a young hero. He is indeed born with a heroic demeanor and a good-looking talent."
"In that case, let's report on the job."
Nodding in Zhang Yan's direction, Hanling Emperor Liu Hong moved his body and changed to a comfortable position to lie down.After hearing his words, Zhang Yan took a deep breath, and then reported what he had done in the past two months or nearly three months.
The general's report to the emperor after the war should have been done at the time of the government discussion in the palace, and the emperor announced that the general would enter the palace. In order to save the time of the important officials in the palace, the general reported his achievements to the emperor in as simple words as possible.
It's just that Zhang Yan's military position is not high, only the level of a fourth-rank general, and he is not qualified to go to the palace to report, so naturally he can only report to Liu Hong in private.
Although Zhang Yan felt a little regretful that he couldn't show his achievements before the three lords and nine ministers in front of the palace, and the left and right Ling Yin, there are some benefits to reporting work in private.
That is, you don't have to pay too much attention to the time taken up. It's okay for the emperor to explain the key points in a little more detail.
……
"In this way, we defeated more than [-] remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and beheaded and surrendered more than [-]. The rest, who were bandit leaders, were all escorted back to Luoyang for trial, and the coerced people were dismissed on the spot to resume production as soon as possible."
After Lang Sheng finished his work during this period, Zhang Yan stood in front of Liu Hong honestly, while Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, was beaming and joyful, as if he hadn't heard such good news for a long time generally.
After a while, Liu Hong stopped his laughter, and looked at Zhang Yan with satisfaction in his eyes.
"Zhang Qing has made such great contributions at such a young age, if he is not rewarded, it will indeed appear that I am too stingy."
"I don't know if you have anything you want, no matter the official position, title or other, you can tell me directly."
"As long as I don't go too far, I will naturally comply with Qing's thoughts."
Smiling and looking at Zhang Yan, Liu Hong generously let the other party make demands on him.Hearing the Hanling Emperor Liu Hong's promise to himself, Zhang Yan was naturally overjoyed, and couldn't help but look up in the direction of his adoptive father Zhang Rang.
"The Son of Heaven asks a question, and you answer it truthfully."
"Still watching me here!"
Scolding Zhang Yan in a low voice, Zhang Rang looked at his silly son's expression of wanting but not daring to speak, and suddenly felt a little funny, so he could only remind the other party.
Just now when he heard that Zhang Yan was in danger alone, he was furious, and he wished he could hang Zhang Yan up and beat him up.But now seeing that the other party is still alive and well, and at the same time looking at him with hope in his eyes, Zhang Rang feels a little irritated.
"If the appeal is reasonable, the emperor will still embarrass you, a little fourth-rank general?"
Glancing at Zhang Yan quietly with his eyes, Zhang Rang obviously had already greeted Hanling Emperor Liu Hong in advance, and at this moment he only let him rest assured to mention his wish, and he would naturally help him with other things.
Seeing that Zhang Rang had already said so, Zhang Yan naturally relaxed all over, and said to Liu Hong with some embarrassment:
"To the Son of Heaven, the last general...the last general wants to serve the country and share the worries of the Emperor."
After hesitating and hawing for a long time, Zhang Yan seemed a little embarrassed to say that he was an important official in front of the emperor, so he had to change a slightly euphemistic term.
"Want to serve the country and share my worries?"
On the other side, when he heard Zhang Yan's words, Liu Hong didn't seem to have thought that he would say such a thing, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Ha ha……"
"Zhang Qing's remarks are interesting, so if I should not, it is really unreasonable."
He pursed his lips and glanced at Zhang Yan. Liu Hong had been the emperor for more than 20 years, so he naturally saw that Zhang Yan's behavior was a disguised attempt to demand an official from him.
But now, Zhang Yan is already a solid fourth-rank general with a food ratio of two thousand stones, and he has just been promoted to this position not long ago, so it is difficult to transfer military positions, so Liu Hong turned around and looked at himself for help. Zhang Rang's direction.
"Rang father, I don't know what official positions are vacant now, can you let General Zhang go to serve the country and share my worries?"
A little funny said something to Zhang Rang, Liu Hong also left this question to Zhang Rang to worry about.Although Zhang Rang and Zhang Yan are foster fathers and sons, they should avoid suspicion on Zhang Yan's official career, but only Zhang Rang, who is responsible for buying officials and nobles on his behalf, knows best about the official positions in this world, no matter how far or near, so in the end He also stopped caring about those and asked in Zhang Rang's direction.
Hearing Liu Hong's words, Zhang Rang couldn't help but secretly sighed. At the same time, he was a little helpless to find that no matter whether it was a major marriage or Zhang Yan's career promotion, it seemed that he had to do it himself.
If we waited for Zhang Yan to act on his own, I'm afraid that the prefect of Lujiang had been replaced for several times.
Thinking of this, Zhang Rang also cupped his hands in Liu Hong's direction, and said in a harmonious voice:
"Now that there are hundreds of officials in the capital, there is no good place for De Mao. On the contrary, there are quite a few vacancies for the prefect of the county and country in this world."
The old voice spoke slowly, and Zhang Rang also knew what his adopted son was thinking, so he took the initiative to guide Liu Hong to limit his choices to foreign positions such as prefect and prime minister.
After hearing Zhang Rang's words, Liu Hong naturally didn't say much, but turned his head to look at Zhang Yan who was standing in front of him.
"Zhang Qing, this prefect earns [-] shi for one post, and has a military power in one place. He can take the initiative to send troops to share my worries when needed. I don't know what you think?"
Smiling and asking Zhang Yan, Liu Hong made some calculations in his heart, but felt that there was no problem.Zhang Yan was originally a general who was more than two thousand shi, so he was only promoted to a prefect who was really two thousand shi. It really seemed that Liu Hong, the emperor, was a bit stingy.
As for Zhang Yan, who was standing aside, he was overjoyed after hearing Liu Hong's words, and said to Liu Hong with a straightforward face that he just wanted to share the country's worries, and didn't care about the salaries of those officials at all. He already liked the official position of prefect very much.
"Hehe... I just hope Zhang Qing doesn't blame me, the emperor, for being too stingy."
Seeing that Zhang Yan didn't have any objections, Liu Hong naturally didn't say anything more. He just made a little joke with Zhang Yan and then asked Zhang Rang beside him.
"Rang father, I wonder if there are still job vacancies in any county?"
It's just that Liu Hong didn't expect that Zhang Rang's words made him frown slightly.
"Everyone, the position of prefect of Lujiang has been vacant for a long time now, and Shucheng, the government office, is not too far from Luoyang."
"If you don't make De Mao the prefect of Lujiang, it will fulfill my dog's wish."
Chapter 11 He Jin unexpectedly...
"The prefect of Lujiang?"
Frowning slightly, Liu Hong didn't expect that Zhang Rang would recommend him to seal Zhang Yan directly to a relatively remote place like Lujiang.
You must know that although Lujiang is located in the Central Plains, it is already located at the junction of the Central Plains and Jiangdong, and it is far from being prosperous and prosperous.
Liu Hongben felt a little sorry for Zhang Yan's establishment of such a meritorious service but only conferred the post of prefect.Earlier, when he agreed to Zhang Yan's request, he also wanted to seal Zhang Yan to some wealthy places so that he could display his talent.
Now, if Zhang Yan is made the prefect of Lujiang, Liu Hong is a little worried whether it will chill the heart of his young general.
"This Lujiang, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
Frowning and asking Zhang Rang, Liu Hong was still thinking about whether there are other suitable official positions that can be awarded to Zhang Yan, such as the newly recovered Hedong and Taiyuan, where the previous prefects had been killed by the Yellow Turban. When a job becomes vacant.And Zhang Rang at the side heard Liu Hong's words, and naturally understood what his emperor was thinking now.
"Hey, the location of Lujiang River is relatively ordinary...Yan'er was probably influenced by the daughter of the Qiao family before going wholeheartedly."
