Early August, Luoyang, South Study.
Zhang Rang and the other Ten Attendants stood respectfully beside Liu Hong.
"Your Majesty," Xu Feng said respectfully,"Zhang Jiao died of illness in Guangzong. Now that Guangzong City has fallen, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao have been killed. Marquis Qiancheng will return to the court to present victory!"”
"Yes!"
Liu Hong put down the battle report from Bingzhou, rubbed his forehead and said,""It's almost autumn again. The fake governor of Bing Province, Xun Yu, has written a letter saying that the Xiongnu, Wuwan, and Xianbei tribes are stationed at the border of Bing Province and have the intention of invading the Great Han!”
"Your Majesty, Marquis Qian Cheng has returned to the court this time, and I'm afraid Bing Province will suffer!”Zhang Rang quickly said.
"No worries!"
Liu Hong waved his hand and said," Ziyu has tens of thousands of troops stationed at the border of Bingzhou. He can still be stabilized for the time being. How will I reward him for his achievements now? I still need him to guard Bingzhou, so I can't make him king. Father, what do you think?"”
Zhang Rang rolled his eyes." I heard that Marquis Qiancheng and the daughter of Cai's councilor are engaged for life. Why don't we issue an edict to bestow marriage?"”
"Bestowed marriage?"
Liu Hong's robe shook as he narrowed his eyes and said,""Why don't we betroth Princess Wan Nian to Ziyu? With Ziyu's status, it won't be a disgrace to Yu 'er!”
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, and the others were all stunned.
Princess Wannian was only a few years old, yet Liu Hong wanted to betroth Princess Wannian. Now, in order to rope in Liu Qing, had Liu Hong gone crazy to this extent?
Gao Wang's scalp went numb." Your Majesty, this is not appropriate. Princess Wannian is still young!"”
"What do you mean by appropriate?"
"Emperor Zhao, Emperor Ping's wedding is held under the age of ten. A talent like Ziyu must have more children to strengthen our Han Dynasty!”
"Father has drafted an edict to bestow Princess Wannian and his wife Cai Zhaoji!”Liu Hong said indifferently.
"Yes!"
Zhang Rang took a deep breath. He felt that Liu Hong was a little crazy. He actually sold out his own daughter in exchange for Liu Qing's loyalty.
Two days later, Liu Qing led a hundred cavalry and brought Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's heads back to Luoyang.
The Northern Battlefront Army, which was floating on the back of the Beiwei Army, made the people of Luoyang excited. The news of Liu Qing and his cavalry charging into the formation spread throughout the world.
At this moment, he was already considered the number one general in the world, comparable to the Marquis Champion from a hundred years ago.
Luoyang, in front of the Imperial Palace.
Zhang Rang respectfully welcomed Liu Qing into the court." Marquis, His Majesty has issued an edict today to bestow marriage to Princess Wannian and Lady Zhao Ji of the Cai Residence!"”
Liu Qing stopped in his tracks and said,""I remember that Yu 'er is only ten years old, and I am his uncle in name!”
"Eh!"
"His Majesty has made the decision to make Lady Zhao Ji his wife!" Zhang Rang said helplessly.”
"What the hell!"
"Now that the Bing Province is about to go to war, how can I be in the mood to talk about these things!”Liu Qing carried the two heads and walked towards Wende Hall.
He had returned to the court this time to settle the Yellow Turban army that had surrendered, as well as his marriage with Cai Yan.
He understood Liu Hong's intention of betrothing the princess for ten thousand years. He just wanted to win him over. In the future, whether it was Liu Xie or Liu Bian who ascended the throne, he had no choice but to protect the two of them. Liu Hong was thinking about his death.
However, how could he, Liu Qing, be inferior to others?
He wanted to push the Land of the Nine Prefectures to the peak of the world and establish the eternal Darkhan Dynasty.
Liu Bian or Liu Xie could sit on the throne that he had won. It was not that Liu Qing looked down on Liu Hong's children, but that his two sons were really useless.
Within Wende Palace.
All the officials were silent as they waited for Liu Qing's arrival.
Liu Hong was also sitting on the dragon throne, his eyes full of anticipation.
He felt that the smartest decision he had made in his life was to appoint Liu Qing as the governor of Bingzhou.
Bing Province had been in a state of war all year round. Not only did the Shi clan give up Bing Province, but even he had lost the thought of recovering it.
Back then, he only wanted to leave behind a knife to clean up the aristocrats.
However, he did not expect it.
In less than half a year after Liu Qing took office, he had actually displayed the elegance of the ancient Lord of Wu 'an. In a short period of time, he had recovered Bingzhou and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of foreigners. God bless him, Liu Hong, and the Han Dynasty.
"Pa da, pa da!"
Liu Qing's footsteps were heavy. He held the long sword at his waist with one hand and carried two heads with the other as he walked into the hall. His gaze swept past He Jin and he said indifferently,"This subject Liu Qing brings the heads of Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang!”
"Good!"
"Haha, Ziyu really didn't disappoint zhen!”
Liu Hong's joy was apparent on his face as he said expectantly,""Ziyu, what reward do you want? As long as zhen can take it out, zhen will give it to you!”
"Old bastard, wait for me here!”Liu Qing gritted his teeth. He didn't expect Liu Hong to be so shameless. He was afraid that the imperial censor would attack the princess, so he ordered Zhang Rang to reveal the truth and then asked him to ask for an edict. Such a shameless act was really unbecoming.
"Your Majesty, I have three wishes!"
"Yiyuan, the Yellow Turban Army is mostly ignorant people. Bingzhou under my rule is in war all year round. More than half of the cities and fertile fields are empty. I hope that Your Majesty will order the provincial governors to send people to escort the surrendered soldiers to Bingzhou to manage the fertile fields!”
"Second wish, Lu Zigan's merits and demerits offset each other. Your Majesty, please let him out of prison!”
"Third wish, this subject and Miss Zhao Ji of the Cai Residence are in love. Your Majesty, please give the emperor an edict to include it in the Han family's genealogy!”Liu Qing said in a deep voice.
