The next day.
Liu Hong called for a court meeting.
On the dragon throne, Liu Hong looked down at the ministers and said,""Everyone, Ziyu has been in office for more than two months. Do you know how the situation in Bing Province is?”
All the officials looked at each other without saying a word.
It wasn't that they didn't dare to say it, but that Liu Qing's achievements were too great and had already threatened their own status.
Only Cao Cao said firmly,""Your Majesty, I heard about the great victory in Bingzhou. Unfortunately, it was only rumors among the people. There was no battle report, or rather, the battle report was detained!”
"Yes, I am!"
Liu Hong nodded and waved his sleeves." I heard that Ziyu handed over the administrative affairs of Bingzhou to the fake provincial governor. That person is Xun Wenruo of the Xun family in Yingchuan. I wonder if the officials have detained the memorial of the fake provincial governor Xun Yu?”
The ranks of generals.
He Jin's heart suddenly jumped, and he could not help but feel bitter in his heart. He hurriedly said,"Your Majesty, there was indeed a battle report from Bingzhou a few days ago. The signature was Xun Yu. I didn't know about the fake provincial governor, so I detained these battle reports!”
"Da, da, da!"
Liu Hong tapped his fingers on the dragon throne and bowed his head. He said indifferently,""Send someone to get it!"
"Yes!"
He Jin replied and wiped his cold sweat. He called a small yellow door to the general's residence to find the battle report from Bingzhou.
Originally, he wanted to suppress Liu Qing's battle record and delay the news of Bingzhou's victory.
This might be able to drag Liu Qing down with him. Who knew how Liu Hong got the news of Bingzhou's great victory? Cao Cao also added fuel to the fire, saying that he was holding back the battle report. Wasn't this pushing him to the prison?
Liu Hong looked at Wang Yun and asked in a hoarse voice,""Wang Yun, who is the Mayor of Taiyuan Prefecture, Wang Qiu, to you?”
"It's alright!"
"Back then, Wang Qiu and I had some conflicts. Later, I was saved by Provincial Governor Deng Sheng. Not long after, I was summoned to Luoyang!”Wang Yun's face was bitter, and he couldn't help but worry for the Wang family in Taiyuan.
Liu Qing wasn't a good person. He had snatched the title of the Yuan family's Gold Commander in the main hall and killed people in the Cai residence.
If the Wang family really provoked Liu Qing, then he could only pray to the Wang family and Wang Qiu. The mountains and rivers were in turmoil, and the court was in turmoil. He could not even protect himself.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Little Yellow Sect returned to Wende Hall, panting heavily with a few scrolls of silk.
"Father, read!"
Liu Hong looked at He Jin and said with a calm expression.
"Yes!"
Zhang Rang took the silk book and read out everything that Xun Yu had written. Wang Qiu bullied the people, ravaged and plundered the people's seeds, and so on. He also presented the battle situation of Bingzhou's recovery to everyone.
Until the last silk book wrote that winter was coming, and the silk book asked the court to allocate good seeds and military equipment.
"Your Majesty, there are three battle reports and three silk books requesting for supplies. It has been more than a month since Governor Liu sent out his troops.”Zhang Rang placed the six silk books on the dragon table.
"Boom!"
Liu Hong flipped over the dragon table and drew the Zhongxing Sword from his waist. He pointed the sword at He Jin and shouted,"My Great General, do you want to kill my Great Han?”
"This subject is guilty!"
He Jin's head was covered in cold sweat as he hurriedly begged.
Liu Hong cut off the legs of the table and said coldly,""Are you still Hanchen? The governor of Bingzhou, Liu Qing, has been in office for more than two months. He has recovered the five prefectures of Bingzhou. He can recover all of Bingzhou before winter. How dare you hide such an exciting matter from the people?”
"This subject is guilty!"
Instantly, the three dukes and nine ministers, civil officials and generals all bowed to the ground.
They finally understood that Liu Qing's rise was unstoppable because Liu Qing had battle achievements and the support of the emperor. Who would dare to take advantage of Liu Qing's achievements? Just think about how many heads they had to chop off.
"Prepare the edict!"
"Liu Qing, the governor of Bing Province, will be granted the title of Marquis of a Thousand Carriages. He will be granted 5,000 households of food. On the day that Bing Province is recovered, he will be rewarded with the right to expand the army of the Northern Battlefront Army. Within three days, he will be given 3,000 stones of seeds, 150,000 soldiers 'armor, and food to go to Bing Province.”Liu Hong said coldly.
Facing down.
Cai Yong, Cao Cao, and Lu Zhi's hearts skipped a beat.
Although Liu Hong had given him a lot of rewards, including 5,000 households of food and 1,000 chariots, he had also restricted Liu Qing from returning to court without an edict. He was afraid that Liu Qing would rebel with the Northern Battlefront Army.
"Father, take 500 imperial guards to Bingzhou and announce the edict!”Liu Hong's gaze fell on Zhang Rang.
"Yes!"
Zhang Rang's body trembled. He felt that this gaze was bone-chilling.
"Great General, don't disappoint me!”
Liu Hong put away the Zhongxing Sword, looked coldly at Wang Yun and He Jin, and stepped out of Wende Hall.
Lu Zhi and Cai Yong looked at each other, their eyes filled with bitterness.
Liu Qing was too strong. In just a month, he had conquered five counties in Bingzhou and saved hundreds of thousands of people. The reward was Liu Hong's gift to him, but the restriction was Liu Hong's fear of him.
