When she heard that the angel was coming, Yu Chen was already at the city gate to welcome her.
The angel that came this time was the same one as last time. Yu Chen had already prepared a banquet.
The angel was familiar with the place and followed Yu Chen and the others into the city.
At the banquet, the angel said kindly,"General Yu!" This time, you destroyed the Xiongnu, and your contribution is greater than Wei and Huo! After Lord Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, delivered the great news to Luoyang, His Majesty was overjoyed and said that he must meet you, the great hero who guarded the northern border for the Great Han Dynasty! This time in Luoyang, the general will definitely be conferred the title of Marquis and General!”
"Hahaha! Thank you for your kind words, Angel! Come, let me toast to the angel!" Yu Chen toasted him enthusiastically.
The angel felt that Yu Chen was not bad, so she gave Yu Chen some advice.""General, you don't have to prepare anything else for this trip to Luoyang, but you have to prepare more of these rare treasures, especially coins. Our Emperor doesn't like anything else but earning money.”
The angel didn't say anything else.
Yu Chen nodded." Thank you for the reminder. Come, let me toast to the angel again!"”
Thanks to the eunuch's reminder, Yu Chen would have forgotten about it.
Now, the emperor of the Han Dynasty only liked money!
In order to earn money, he even sold his official position!
Moreover, the price was clearly stated. For example, Yu Chen's position as the prefect of 2,000 koku was priced at 20 million!
He even sold it to the three dukes! However, the three dukes were much more expensive. They needed 100 million yuan!
No matter how meritorious a minister was, as long as you wanted to be promoted, you had to pay first before taking office.
This fee was also very expensive. Every time he was promoted, he had to pay one-third of the original purchase price.
Therefore, even if Yu Chen got the title, it would be useless if she did not bring enough money!
Duan Wei, who had quelled the rebellion of the Qiang people, had a great reputation and made great contributions. He was recruited into the court as an official and only took office after paying money.
Although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was a licentious man, he was not unintelligent. Otherwise, he would not have won the battle against his relatives.
It could only be said that although he had become the emperor, his mind was not on how to be a good emperor. Instead, he used the identity of the emperor to enjoy himself.
Throughout the Spirit Monarch's life, he indulged in pleasure and played with everything.
The next morning, Yu Chen handed Yanmen to Zhang Liao and Wang Xiang. He brought Zhao Yun along with the angel to Luoyang.
It was impossible to say that she wasn't excited. The furthest Yu Chen had been in this game was the Changshan Kingdom.
He still remembered that when he first entered the game, he was shocked by the size of the Yin Mansion. At that time, he had always wanted to see how big Luoyang was.
Now, he finally had the chance to visit Luoyang!
They were afraid that the Emperor would get anxious, so they rested less and hurried more.
Because they had pulled several carts of things, their speed was slightly slower. However, after five to six days of long journey, they finally arrived outside Luoyang City!
This scene shocked Yu Chen!
Luoyang, the capital city, was surrounded by water on both sides. A few incomparably large cities were located here! The north and south city walls were basically next to the river banks!
If he could go to space, Yu Chen would be able to see the outline of Luoyang City even from space!
It was simply too big!
Just the width of a single wall alone would not be enough to squeeze a few million soldiers into the city!
Other than the main city gate, there were many small city gates on each side of the city wall. The number of people entering and leaving Luoyang every day was simply uncountable!
This was a truly bustling city!
Under the guidance of the angel, Yu Chen's group entered Luoyang through the main gate.
The angel arranged for them to stay and even specially found someone to guide them in dressing, court etiquette, and so on.
The next morning, Yu Chen led Zhao Yun to the palace under the guidance of the angel.
Just the size of the palace alone was comparable to the size of a prefecture-level city in real life!
Entering the Imperial Palace, there was a sentry post every five steps and a sentry post every ten steps. Imperial Army guards could be seen everywhere.
It was time for the morning court session, and all the civil and military officials were walking towards Chongde Hall.
Seeing a eunuch walking over with two unfamiliar faces, all the officials were rather curious. Every time they passed by Yu Chen and Zhao Yun, they would take a look.
If it weren't for Yu Chen's good temper, she might have pulled off the shoe horn and slapped him! And ask if the other party's family is healthy?
At this moment, a short man with a beard and a smile walked over.
He cupped his hands at Yu Chen and Zhao Yun. Yu Chen had yet to use the Eye of Disaster Breaker to see the familiarity of the other party when this person introduced himself."Hehe! I'm Cao Cao, the counselor, also known as Meng De! Where are you from?"
What?
Cao Cao?
Yu Chen was shocked!
The little dwarf in front of them was Cao Cao?!
The future Great Emperor Wu of Wei?
It was said that Cao Cao loved to befriend the heroes of the world. They had just met and Cao Cao had already come over to introduce himself.
Yu Chen had a good impression of Cao Cao, so she bowed back."I am Yu Chen, Yu Ziyang, the general of the Xiongnu Guard. Greetings, Brother Meng De!”
It was Cao Mengde's turn to be shocked!
A few months ago, he had heard that a person named Yu Chen had appeared in Bingzhou. He had exterminated the Tugehu tribe within a few days and was appointed by the emperor as the general to protect the Xiongnu.
He was also the one who had suppressed the recent Xiongnu rebellion in just over a month!
Cao Cao's dream was to be the general of the Western Expedition, to defend the borders of the Great Han Dynasty and expand their territory!
When he heard about Yu Chen's deeds, he was filled with envy and admiration!
If it wasn't for the fact that his family didn't allow it, he would have even applied to the emperor to go north and follow Yu Chen!
How could Cao Cao not be excited to see his idol whom he had looked up to for a long time?
"So it's General Yu who protects the Xiongnu! Cao Cao didn't know that it was the general. I hope the general can forgive me for my rudeness just now!‘If General doesn't mind, you can just call me Meng De.”He hurriedly bowed again. This time, it was a big bow, and his tone was full of admiration for Yu Chen.
Yu Chen quickly helped Cao Cao up.”
Cao Cao still looked excited. He went to Yu Chen's side and said excitedly,"Cao Cao has long heard of General's great name. Today, seeing you is enough to comfort me!”
Yu Chen did not say anything, but the angel beside her said,"Counselor Cao, we're almost at Chongde Hall. Let's talk later.”
Hearing the eunuch's reminder, Cao Cao could only say to Yu Chen,""It's not convenient now. After the morning court session, Meng De invited General to the residence for a drink. I wonder if General would do me the honor?”
"Meng De is so kind. If I refuse, I'll be letting him down." Yu Chen nodded.”
"Hahaha! Good! Then I'll wait for you outside the palace after the court ends.”
"Alright."
After the two of them finished speaking, Cao Cao happily walked forward while Yu Chen and Zhao Yun waited outside Chongde Hall to listen to the announcement.
