On the way to court, Majestic Hero looked at the jade pendant in his hand and was overjoyed. He had thought that he had saved the damsel in distress, but he had not expected such a good result.
This jade pendant meant that he still had a chance to get close to Shi Sunyue. As for Cai Wenji beside him, there was no need to say anything more. He had only wanted to woo Cai Wenji, but he didn't expect that God would send another delicious lover, Shi Sunyue. Haha, the daughter of the Minister Sun Rui…how awesome!
However, Cai Wenji's temper was really weird. Could it be that the tragic encounter that happened later made Cai Wenji become sentimental?
If that's the case, then I must save her. I can't let such a lively young girl die.
As he thought about it, he unknowingly arrived at the court meeting. At that moment, Majestic Hero suddenly realized that there was a serious problem. That meant that his beard was gone!
He couldn't find a solution after thinking about it, so he made up his mind and went to court.
One by one, the various departments of the imperial court were waiting in the hall. They were discussing the matter of today's memorial in twos and threes. Majestic Hero stood behind Li Su and Xu Rong without saying a word. He was feeling very sullen.
Why was he aggrieved? Just listen to Xu Rong and Li Su's words.
"Why hasn't Governor Hua come yet?" Li Su asked. It was not a good thing to be late for morning court!”
Li Su and Xu Rong craned their necks to look outside the door, not even sparing Majestic Hero a glance.
Xu Rong revealed a lewd smile and said,""That's right! Tell me, did he overwork himself last night?”
"I think so!" Li Su answered seriously.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He really didn't have many friends!
`~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this moment, a shout of "The Prime Minister has arrived" made everyone quiet down and wait respectfully.
The fat Dong Zhuo slowly walked out from the back hall. After he sat down, the others sat down.
At this moment, Emperor Xian had already become a figurehead, and he usually did not discuss matters in the main hall of the Imperial Palace.
As soon as he sat down, Dong Zhuo said," Yesterday, Governor Hua returned to the capital. Although he was slightly unhappy, he broke through Hulao Pass with 500 cavalry and saved more than 20,000 of our troops. He has made great contributions. Before today's discussion, we will reward the various troops first." Where is Hwa Xiong?"
Behind Li Su and Xu Rong, the beardless Majestic Hero stood up and said respectfully,""I'm here!"
When all the officials in the court saw this handsome man with a smooth face, they were all shocked and did not know what had happened.
Dong Zhuo's expression changed and he shouted,"Who are you? He actually dared to wear the uniform of a court official and impersonate Hua Xiong. Men, capture this person before punishing him!”
Majestic Hero raised his head and said,""Prime Minister, this general is indeed Hua Xiong! I only shaved my beard, please take a closer look!”
All the officials in the court craned their necks to look at Majestic Hero's face. It took them a while to see what was happening. Dong Zhuo stroked his beard and laughed,""Governor Hua, what are you doing? Your body, hair, and skin were all given to you by your parents. Why did you shave off your beard overnight? If one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't be able to recognize him.”
Majestic Hero's face turned red. He did not know how to explain himself, but Dong Zhuo let him go."Let's not talk about this matter anymore! I think last night must have been-"
Dong Zhuo gave a lewd smile. He directly connected Majestic Hero's beard with his family affairs.
"Commander-in-chief Hua, your 30,000 soldiers are still waiting outside the city for orders. I will deal with them for you immediately!" Dong Zhuo said.”
After saying that, Dong Zhuo asked people to check the locations of the major troops in Chang 'an.
"Prime Minister, there is no place to station troops in Chang 'an. However, there is an old land outside the North City that can accommodate 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers.”
Dong Zhuo nodded and asked Majestic Hero,""Governor Hua, I want your army to settle down in this old place and train strong soldiers for me. On one hand, I can protect Chang 'an. At the same time, I need you to support me at Tongguan outside the north city.”
"As long as the Prime Minister makes the decision!" Majestic Hero said.
Majestic Hero was not concerned about this, he was concerned about the military pay!! Now, 30,000 people were asking him to eat! If he didn't ask Dong Zhuo for this meal, who should he ask?
However, to Majestic Hero's surprise, Dong Zhuo's next request for military pay was nowhere to be seen.
"If that's the case, then it's settled!" Dong Zhuo said. You can leave now."
No way! Let's not talk about the military pay. Majestic Hero did not dare to say anything more, and he decided to ask Li Ru to solve the problem.
After Majestic Hero returned to his seat, Dong Zhuo continued to announce the important event he had decided on,""This time, the eighteen vassals have rebelled against their superiors and bullied us by saying that our defenses are weak. It's really difficult to determine the success or failure of this. "But after this incident, I have been thinking hard for the past few days. Since we have moved the capital to Chang 'an, in order to prevent such thieves from causing trouble in the future and threatening the Han Dynasty, we must strengthen our offensive and defensive strength. Therefore, I have decided to strengthen the defense of Chang' an City and make it the solid stone of the Han Dynasty! Does anyone have any objections?"
When these words were said, naturally no one expressed their dissatisfaction. Many people began to flatter Dong Zhuo, saying that he had great foresight and was a blessing of the Han Dynasty.
However, Majestic Hero did not pay much attention to them as he was being scrutinized by Li Su and Xu Rong, as if they were looking at monkeys in a zoo.
"Why do I feel that he looks a little familiar with a shaved beard?”
"I think so too. It seems very similar to someone who is not Hwa Xiong!”
The two of them guessed, but they could not connect Majestic Hero to the butcher. After all, Majestic Hero was wearing a well-dressed court uniform, while the butcher was wearing tattered clothes. Moreover, the situation had changed so quickly that the two of them did not see the appearance of the butcher clearly.
At this moment, Dong Zhuo announced something else."In addition to strengthening the defense of Chang 'an City, I also want to build a dock outside Chang' an City as a place for our army to store food. This place must be stronger than Chang 'an City.”
When everyone heard this, they all started discussing in low voices, not understanding much about this dock.
Majestic Hero frowned. He was probably the only one who knew what a dock was, apart from Dong Zhuo. That was the place where Dong Zhuo collected the people's wealth.
Majestic Hero listened carefully and secretly decided that he would find a way to intervene in the matter. This would be of great help to him after Dong Zhuo's death.
After Dong Zhuo had finished his decision, everyone began to report on the matters they were responsible for. They were basically the basic matters of civil officials and had nothing to do with a general like Majestic Hero. Majestic Hero's thoughts were distracted.
Shi Sunyue's alluring beauty, coupled with Cai Wenji's angry look, made him imagine that his days with the two beauties would be very interesting.
At that moment, Dong Zhuo's shout pulled Majestic Hero back to the topic they were discussing.
"Commander-in-chief Hua, after discussing with all the lords, we have decided that we will strengthen Chang 'an Fortress and build a dock soon. Therefore, we can only give Commander-in-chief Hua's army 30,000 taels of silver per month for daily use!”
"Ah! It's so little. Tell my sons to eat and drink whatever they want."
