"Father, draft an edict for me."
Liu Hong closed his eyes and lazily leaned back on the chair. The exhaustion on his face could not be concealed at all.
"Please speak, Your Majesty."
Zhang Rang had already prepared his brush and ink.
"The imperial edict ordered Bing Province's Wumeng Commandant Ding Yuan to take over the position of Bing Province's governor and protect the people.”
"The imperial edict ordered Gu Yuan to be the prefect of Shuofang and Yanmen Prefecture. He will also be the guard of Yanmen Pass and must ensure the peace and stability of Yanmen Pass.”
"In addition, Gu Yuan ruled the world with his martial arts, and his prestige was stable. He also had a feat similar to the famous general of the previous dynasty, Baiqi, so I hereby confer him the title of Marquis Wu An! At the same time, Gu Yuan was granted the title of General of Breaking Krupp and was allowed to open his residence!”
"After settling down the defenses of Yanmen, he will rush to Luoyang to carry out the ceremony of being conferred the title of Marquis.”
Hearing that, He Jin, Yuan Kui, and Yang Biao's expressions turned gloomy.
Cai Yong and Wang Yun couldn't help but reveal happy expressions.
Although this reward wasn't as generous as Cai Yong's suggestion, it was still pretty good.
Especially the title of Marquis of Wu An, it was an honor.
Only in this way could the hearts of the country's scholars not be chilled!
"Also,"
Liu Hong was not done.
"Cai Yong's daughter, Cai Yan, will be conferred the title of Princess Dan Yang.”
As soon as he said this, Cai Yong froze.
This, this, this, his daughter was gone?
"Your Majesty! My daughter has already been promised to someone else. She is the only son of the Wei family in the east of the river, Wei Zhongdao!”
Liu Hong frowned slightly.
"I've made up my mind! The emperor had made a promise, and the engagement between the Cai family and the Wei family was annulled today.”
"When Gu Yuan comes to Luoyang to be conferred the title of Marquis, I will personally officiate their marriage!”
After saying that, Liu Hong stood up and left.
"Lord Shi Zhong really gave birth to a good daughter!”
He Jin sneered and walked away.
Yuan Kui and Yang Biao similarly did not have any good expressions.
Cai Yong smiled bitterly.
Wang Yun took a step forward and patted Cai Yong gently. He said in a low voice,""Don't worry, this is a good thing.”
"Wei Zhongdao of the Wei family in the east of the river is infected. I'm afraid he will die soon. If Yan 'er married over and became a widow, it would be hard on Yan' er.”
"Moreover, Yan 'er doesn't like Wei Zhongdao. What you were afraid of before was nothing more than your Cai Yong and the Wei family of the east of the river. Now that His Majesty has issued an edict, it just so happens to give your two families a way out.”
Cai Yong sighed.
"Marrying Wei Zhongdao isn't a good match.”
"But is marrying Gu Yuan and Gu Po Hu a good thing?”
Wang Yun smiled.
"Gu Yuan is the backbone of the Great Han Dynasty. Now that he has been conferred the title of Marquis Wu An, his future is boundless.”
"And I, Guan Yan 'er, love heroes. Gu Yuan rode his horse to kill enemies and guard the border for the country. Wasn't this the great hero that Yan 'er liked?”
"Yan 'er won't feel wronged if she marries Gu Yuan!”
Cai Yong wanted to say something but hesitated, his face troubled.
"Haha, that Gu Yuan will come to Luoyang in a few days to receive the gift of being conferred the title of Marquis. At that time, you should take a good look at your future son-in-law!”
"Let's go!" Wang Yun said with a smile. Today, I'll drink a cup of wine with you in advance!”
……
The Great Han Imperial Court's reward quickly spread throughout the world.
The citizens of Shuofang and Yanmen were even more excited.
In the past few days, there had been a lot of rumors.
Gu Yuan's name was already well-known.
The commoners all understood that it was Gu Yuan who saved them. It was Gu Yuan who chased away those vicious Xianbei people!
"With Lord Gu as the prefect, we commoners are really blessed!”
"Yeah, I heard that the people of Linrong County are living a good life.”
"That's great. I hope our Yanmen Sect can become like that. What are we commoners after? Isn't it just a wife and children?”
Linrong County Yamen.
Guo Jia also walked in excitedly.
Stretching his back, he sat down on his knees.
"My lord, success! The intelligence network of the righteous bandits was almost complete.”
"After that, every movement in the world will immediately become intelligence and appear on the lord's table!”
"Oh right, my lord, there's a rumor going around that His Majesty has given you a reward! I estimate that the angels should be arriving soon.”
Gu Yuan shrugged and smiled.
A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
"Marquis Wu 'an, Polu General, Yanmen Pass Garrison, the Prefects of Yanmen and Shuofang Prefectures, and a princess with another surname.”
"Fengxiao, what do you think of this reward?”
"It's not reasonable, but it's within my expectations!" Guo Jia said indifferently without hesitation.”
"My lord annihilated 250,000 Xianbei soldiers in one battle! He had also taken back the Great Han Dynasty's gate. This was a truly great merit!”
"At the very least, he should be given the title of Marquis Champion. It's even normal for His Majesty to break the ancestral system and be conferred the title of Duke!”
"But now, he's only Marquis Wu An. He's naturally not worthy of my lord's monstrous military merits! This is beyond reason!"
As he spoke, Guo Jia changed the topic.
"However, this is also expected!”
"In the current Great Han Dynasty, those people in high positions are all short-sighted.”
"My lord, you don't have any harem connections, and you don't have any aristocratic family background. Naturally, it's normal for you to be suppressed.”
"Moreover, the Xianbei people have not been destroyed, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban faction are still present. What if the lord made more military achievements in the future? Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor would give up his throne?”
Gu Yuan nodded lightly.
Guo Jia's words were basically the same as what he was thinking.
In the Great Han Imperial Court, which was filled with aristocratic families and nobles holding high positions, it was not so easy to rise to the top.
Unless they overthrew the old imperial court and established a new dynasty!
A cold light flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes.
Now was not the time.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the house.
"Old Master! The imperial edict has arrived!"
(Begging for flowers and votes!)
