Chapter 396 Immediately Confer Marquis

In the spring of 195 A.D., Yuan Tan recovered Bingzhou for the imperial court and returned triumphantly to Yecheng, the imperial capital.

Outside the west gate, hundreds of officials have already lined up, with flags like clouds.

The horn has sounded.

The wide official road has been blocked.

More than 10,000 soldiers of the Yuan family stationed in Yecheng stood guard for the victorious Shence Army.

On both sides of the road, 300,000 people came to welcome Yuan Tan's triumphant return.

After the people heard the whole process of the battle, they rushed out of the city more spontaneously to welcome his return.

Yuan Tan is the hero of this central city.

king.

Dahan male god.

All admire.

And Wang Yun and others, all cursed and reviled, wishing that he would die immediately.

The ancient, triumphant, and mighty soldiers returned to the imperial capital.

Sharp knives and guns are like a forest, and the flickering cold light brushes across the earth over and over again.

The common people are in awe of this army that brings them a peaceful life, and even more in awe of their commander.

Yuan Tan led the whole army and came here.

Unexpectedly, 300,000 people came to welcome him.

Pride and ambition.

It is inevitable that some villains will succeed.

Wearing the golden armor that Dian Wei wiped clean, carrying Xu Chu's sharpened Panlong golden gun, and riding the dragon horse that Er Gouzi and the others had bathed.

After arriving at the city gate that is more than ten feet wide.

Wang Situ, also known as Wang Yun, led all the officials to move forward quickly.

"We follow the order of Your Majesty and the Prime Minister to welcome the former general back to court triumphantly!"

Immediately afterwards, he flicked his long sleeves, lifted his robe, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times.

This is what the emperor requested.

Prime Minister Yuan gave special instructions.

The two sons, from being in a desperate situation, turned against the sky, not to mention being reborn from the ashes, and successfully regained Bingzhou.

Prime Minister Yuan also completed the reversal of Megatron from the pain of losing his son, so excited.

Yuan Tan rode on the horse, pointed his big gun at it, and said indifferently: "Why are you colleagues so polite? Let's get down."

Wang Yun's lungs exploded with anger.

Pingshen, these three words, were you the one who said that too?

Didn't even get off the horse.

Could this be the legendary saying that if you want to be willful, you will be willful, and if you want to be arrogant, then be arrogant.

Who can do anything to him?

Even if Prime Minister Yuan is "tolerating and supporting the top", they have no other choice.

Sure enough, in troubled times, strength is the most important thing.

...

As Yuan Tan returned triumphantly with his victorious army,

The situation of the Yuan family, the situation of the court, and the situation of the world are completely stable.

Even in distant places like Xishu and Jiangdong, subtle changes took place because of Yuan Tan's victory.

With the return of Bingzhou to the court.

The prestige of the imperial court has reached a new peak.

Yuan Shao has become the overlord comparable to the Five Overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period.

vertical sun.

The imperial court held an unprecedented court meeting.

All meritorious soldiers can enter the dynasty to participate.

Sitting on the three-story high dragon platform, Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, was in a bad mood, but kept a sweet smile. It was really hard work.

Desheng came out and unfolded the imperial decree, "In the early years of Jian'an, the emperor said:..."

Now the palace is basically completed, plus Yuan Tan's triumph.

So Yuan Shao changed the year name, following Yuan Tan's suggestion, from Chuping to Jian'an.

Desheng's voice is full of emotion, and he is worthy of being the first eunuch of the imperial palace. He read: "Yuan Tan, the eldest son of the Yuan family, punished Dong Zhuo, saved the country, eliminated Gongsun, destroyed the Xiongnu, collected Qingzhou, and unified the state. Help the country in the future, and extend righteousness. In the world, he will be sealed as a general of chariots and cavalry, and he will hold festivals and control all kinds of soldiers and horses."

Yuan Shao was sitting in the middle of the Dragon Terrace, stroking his beard, feeling extremely proud.

Yuan Shang was very depressed, and only then did he realize that his elder brother had contributed so much.

This edict is very long and involves many people.

Later, the second son Yuan Xi was promoted to be Sili Xiaowei, Tingwei, and supervisor.

Yuan Shang was promoted to General Wei, Wei Wei, and was in charge of the Imperial Army and Luoyang City Defense.

Thirteen others, including Wang Yun and Dong Cheng, were also named Liehou.

And Yuan Shao didn't slack off on himself, he was the prime minister in the first place.

He also proclaimed himself a general, Marquis of Wuping, with Tian Feng as his servant, Ju Shou as his military adviser, his judge as Sima Jijiu, and Guo Tu as Sikongcang Cao Cao.

Xu You and Feng Ji are Diannong Zhonglang generals, urging and supervising money and food.

Wang Chang was the prefect of Weijun (the county where Yedu is located)

Chen Lin is the governor of Yedu.

Cui Yan, Hua Xin, Zhen Yao, and other descendants of wealthy families attached to the Yuan family all entered the court as officials.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan are all court generals.

Chun Yuqiong, Jiang Yiqu, Gao Gan, Zhou Ang, etc. were all school lieutenants of the imperial court.

The rest of the soldiers were appointed officials.

Since then, Wang Yun and other three princes and nine ministers have been completely emptied, with only false names and no power.

All the power belonged to Yuan Shao, court affairs were reported to Yuan Shao first, and then to the emperor.

Wang Yun, Ma Riyi, Liu Yu and the others also knew that they were powerless to stop the Yuan family's glorious road to power and authority.

We can only wait for the time.

After Desheng read it, he took a deep breath, already dripping with sweat, and didn't dare to wipe it off.

I saw Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, took out another edict.

Wang Yun and the others were dumbfounded, and first looked at the emperor.

Emperor: ╭(╯^╰)╮

He looked at Yuan Shao again.

Yuan Shao: |`O'|

Haven't closed yet?

besides!

How shameless!

Zhongliang of the Han Dynasty cursed secretly.

Desheng began to read again, "In the early years of Jian'an, the emperor issued an edict: The Yuan family, the fourth and third princes, have been loyal for a hundred years. In recent years, they have re-established the state for the Han Dynasty. Even Zhou Gong and Jiang Shang can't match it."

"Although the prime minister is loyal and unwilling to be enshrined, I would like to confer on his son to show the honor."

"Specially, the eldest son of the Yuan family will be granted the title of Township Marquis, and the other two sons will be named Tinghou..."

Wang Yun and the others looked at each other, and the highest-ranking county marquis was not released.

Okay, in this majestic hall, Prime Minister Yuan is not shameless to the extreme.

Desheng finally said: "The three counties of Quzhou, Buqiu, and Linxian are their food cities."

What!

All the officials were shocked. They thought they were not shameless to the extreme, but they didn't expect it to be beyond description.

Ma Rixun immediately came out angrily, "Your Majesty, General Cheqi is only a township lord, but has a county as a fief. There is no precedent for this move, let alone a county led by a Tinghou!"

Yuan Shao smiled and looked at the emperor.

Liu Xie said lightly: "Really? There will be precedents in the future."

Ma Rixun rolled his eyes directly, and drew away.

The other officials were afraid of Yuan's father and son, and dared not speak out.

After half an hour.

The court will be gone.

Yuan Shao went first, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, and all the troops left in a crowd.

Followed by Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang.

It was also surrounded by the crowd.

Yuan Shang complained a little, and said to the examiner: "My eldest brother was named Quzhou, a big county, while my Lin county and my second brother's Qiqiu are both middle-level counties, and my father started to favor my elder brother."

The judge said with relief: "The eldest son has made such a great contribution, it is understandable that the prime minister is partial."

He said again: "Sir, don't be discouraged. I think the lord still loves you very much. The county I gave you is very close to Yecheng. It is a rich land with developed commerce. It is in the Jizhou area, a very good county. .”

Feng Ji said from the side: "If you talk about tax revenue, the Eldest Prince's Qu Zhou is less than one-third of yours."

"How is this possible?" Yuan Shang would never believe this kind of nonsense, and said angrily, "Why did Mr. Feng lie to me? My elder brother's place is also very rich. I remember that a few years ago, it was still a county with the highest output."

Shenpei and Fengji looked at each other and smiled slyly.

Feng Ji cupped his hands and said: "How dare you deceive the third son, it's different now, after Quzhou suffered a plague of locusts last year, the land has been severely desertified."

The judge said: "I'm afraid the prime minister doesn't know about this, and thought he gave the eldest son a good county."

"Really?" The corner of Yuan Shang's mouth curled up, and he immediately looked forward to it, and said, "I also got some news from my mother. After the fief is granted this time, my father will withdraw part of the military supplies, which is also a test of the management of our three brothers."

He rolled his eyes, "In this way, my eldest brother may find it difficult to maintain the huge expenses of Shence Mansion."

"That's right." The examiner said earnestly, "The expenses of the Eldest Prince's Shence Mansion, after the Battle of Bingzhou, have accounted for almost half of the total military expenditure."

Yuan Shang frowned, "Quzhou is a big county after all, my elder brother still has the industry of Ciqikou..."

"No." Shen Pei shook his head, "Third Young Master, do you think that the land in Quzhou is deserted, and hundreds of thousands of people on it are starving people. This is the fiefdom of the eldest son. For these people, will he save them? If so , How could it be possible to support the consumption of hundreds of thousands of people."

"If you don't save him, the popularity will be lost. Who will follow him?"

Yuan Shang's eyes widened suddenly, flashing surprise. From this point of view, this huge fief is the tarsal leech, and sooner or later his elder brother will be sucked dry.

The power is so high that it shakes the father, but the tail is too big to lose.

Prime Minister Yuan gave a huge county a fiefdom, probably in order to get rid of the burden of the huge military expenditure of the Shence Army.

It's a pity that the prime minister didn't know that Qu Zhou was dying now.

Feng Ji said in a low voice: "The eldest son will definitely complain when he looks at it like this, and there must be trouble. If the prime minister can't keep his face, there will be a good show."

So, just wait for the moment when things explode.
