In Chongde Hall, Yu Chen could hear the ministers discussing the various disasters and epidemic situations in various places, asking the imperial court for relief.
There were also people who said that the Road of Peace was not peaceful and wanted the emperor to pay attention.
However, Liu Hong didn't seem to care much about these major events. As long as it wasn't too expensive, he basically agreed to it. If it was too expensive, he would be suppressed.
In fact, Liu Hong was also very uncomfortable now. Ever since he took the throne, natural disasters and plagues had occurred year after year. In the early years, he had also provided relief, but he had not been able to save anything.
Therefore, he decided to just manage it casually as long as it didn't delay him from making money.
Finally, the ministers had finished talking about the important matters. Zhang Rang reminded them,"Your Majesty, Yu Chen is waiting outside. Should we call him in?”
"Oh? Yu Aiqing was here? Quickly announce it!" When Liu Hong heard that Yu Chen was here, his mood instantly improved.
He didn't like anything but being an official!
Moreover, Yu Chen had exterminated the Xiongnu. The imperial court could save a lot of money by protecting the Xiongnu!
"Xuan! Protect Xiongnu Zhonglang General Yu Chen to see!”Zhang Rang shouted at the top of his voice.
When Yu Chen heard this, she took off her shoes and hurriedly walked into the main hall. She came to the center of Chongde Hall and bowed to Liu Hong as a subject."This subject Yu Chen greets the emperor. Long live my emperor!”
"Minister Yu, please rise."
"Write down His Majesty." Yu Chen slowly stood up.
"The governor of Bingzhou has reported to me about my beloved minister's achievements in suppressing the Xiongnu rebellion. I am very pleased!" Liu Hong said excitedly. He had saved a lot of expenses for the national treasury. What reward did the beloved minister want?”
"I am a citizen of the Great Han Dynasty, a subject of His Majesty! It is my responsibility to guard the border! I only hope to restore the might of Great Han, restore the prosperity of Guangwu, and show the glory of Wei Huo. I hope to expand the territory of Great Han and make all the vassal states pay tribute! This time, when I exterminated the Xiongnu and captured Meiji, I plundered a large amount of gold and silver treasures that the Xiongnu robbed. I specially brought them to present to Your Majesty!”
When he heard Yu Chen say that she would give him the treasures of the Xiongnu, Liu Hong's eyes lit up and he said loudly,""Good, good, good! Alright! As expected of my humerus! An important minister of the Great Han Dynasty! Since you have the ambition to defend Huo, then I will promote you to the Liao General! Conferring the title of Inner Ting Hou! Guard the border for me! Clear the desert!"
"I, Yu Chen, thank you for your reward, Your Majesty!" When Yu Chen heard the reward, she immediately knelt down.
Although the Inner Pavilion Marquis did not have a fief and only had 300 households, he was still a marquis! It was on the same level as the township marquis and county marquis.
Yu Chen was satisfied!
Yu Chen was most concerned about the position of Liao General. It was much more powerful than the Xiongnu General.
Moreover, the Yellow Turban Rebellion had yet to begin, so it was not easy to obtain the official position of a general.
Liu Hong smiled in satisfaction. Let's end it here today! Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
"Long live our emperor!"
After the Emperor left, all the officials also walked out of Chongde Hall.
Many people came to congratulate Yu Chen. If Yu Chen hadn't seen their information, she wouldn't have known who these people were.
Of course, the high-ranking officials would not lower themselves to greet Yu Chen.
"General Yu, congratulations! He was really envious of Meng De when he became an official general of the Liao Dynasty! Hahaha!" After the people around Yu Chen left, Cao Cao walked over.
Yu Chen smiled and said," Meng De is knowledgeable and ambitious. The time has not come yet. Otherwise, with Meng De's talent, he will definitely soar to the sky one day!"”
"Then I'll take your blessings! Why don't we go to my residence and have a drink while chatting?”
"Alright, after I return to the Courier Station to change into casual clothes and rest, I will head to Meng De's residence.”
"Then I will prepare a banquet at home and await your arrival.”
Then, the two of them left the palace together. Yu Chen returned to the posthouse first.
Today, Yu Chen had finally seen the people who were at the center of power in the Great Han Dynasty. Thinking back, other than Cao Cao, there was no one he liked.
He changed out of his official robes and brought Zhao Yun to Cao Cao's residence.
It wasn't easy for her to come to Luoyang, so Yu Chen planned to take a good look around and get to know the heroes of Luoyang!
If he returned to Bingzhou, it would probably be very difficult for him to come to Luoyang again in the future. He also wanted to take a good look at the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and see the elegance of Luoyang City!
According to the address Cao Cao gave, Yu Chen found Cao Cao's residence after a long time.
The servant reported that Yu Chen had arrived, and Cao Cao personally invited him to welcome him."This Cao has been waiting for General for a long time.”
"Meng De and I hit it off at first sight, but Neng De keeps addressing me as an official. Is he not treating Yu City as a friend?”When Yu Chen saw Cao Cao calling him General, she felt uneasy.
Cao Cao quickly cupped his hands and apologized." I was too pretentious. If General doesn't mind, I'll address you by your name!"”
"We should have done this long ago!"
"Hahaha! Brother Zi Yang, please!"
Yu Chen brought Zhao Yun into Cao Cao's mansion. The mansion was very simple and was in line with Cao Cao's style.
When they entered the room, Cao Cao ordered the servants to serve the dishes.
"This first cup of wine is to congratulate Brother Ziyang on becoming a general!”
"Thank you, Meng De."
The two of them toasted each other a few times, and the atmosphere began to liven up.
As he spoke, Cao Cao sighed,""I'm sure Brother Ziyang has heard that the eunuchs are in power in the royal court now. The government is in a state of decline and corruption is growing day by day. I've written several times to remonstrate, but I've never been able to salvage the situation.”
"Now that the world is plagued by disasters and plagues, these rich and powerful people don't want to save the people. They only want to plunder money and squander it all day long...”
"Sometimes, I really envy Ziyang for being able to sacrifice his life at the border, spilling his blood, protecting the people, and not worrying about the matters of the court.”
Yu Chen advised," Meng De, you don't have to be like this. Rome wasn't built in a day. The situation in the court today isn't something that can be resolved in a day or two. There are many capable people in Luoyang. Now, he could only befriend more righteous people and wait for the right time. There would always be a time when he could resolve this.”
"Ziyang is right! Come! Let's drink!"
"By the way, I wonder what Meng De thinks about the recent Peace Road?”Yu Chen asked.
Cao Cao thought for a while and said seriously,""These thieves wandered around and bewitched the people everywhere. Some officials even believed their words and mentioned this matter in the court. However, because some of the gentry and aristocrats joined in, this matter was left unsettled. But now it seems that these thieves won't be able to cause any trouble…"
" I hope it's like what Meng De said…" Yu Chen sighed. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but the system had reminded him that the game wasn't fully open yet. He couldn't say anything that could change the main storyline, or the system would treat him as a virus.
At the same time, it would also cause a huge change in the game. At that time, the gains would not make up for the losses.
At this moment, a servant suddenly came to report,""Milord, Yuan Shao and Xu You have come to visit.”
Cao Cao frowned, obviously not wanting anyone to interrupt his conversation with Yu Chen.""What is he doing here? Just say that I'm not here."
"But…they've already come in.”The servant replied helplessly.
