The officials lowered their heads.
They were officials of the court.
His status was even higher than the provincial governors and prefects.
However…
The chief guardian of the Western Regions is equivalent to the nine ministers.
Now, He Jin and Yang Ci were almost scared to the point of peeing their pants by someone using a saber, so they naturally did not dare to step forward.
As for Yuan shi, Yuan Kui, and Yuan Feng, they were already looking at the ceiling of the hall, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.
The Yuan family's rules.
Never be enemies with the Son of Heaven!
They finally understood.
Liu Hong wanted to support Yan Chuan and use this to balance the court. Whoever stood in his way would be a thorn in his side.
"Da!"
"Da!"
Yan Chuan's eyes were filled with disdain.
His fingers tapped on the handle of the Dragon Sparrow Sword.
He wasn't arrogant, but if he wanted to suppress the three clans, he had to be reckless.
Only in this way could he offend all the soldiers and gain the trust of the current emperor.
Liu Hong's gaze fell on Jia Xu and asked,""Yan Chuan, what is in that brocade box? Is it the head of that traitor Beigong Boyu?”
"Not bad!"
Yan Chuan took a brocade box from Jia Xu's arms and threw it in front of Yang Biao, saying indifferently,"Minister of Dahonglu, the leaders of the Western Regions, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Qiang should know you. How about you tell us if this is Beigong Boyu?”
"Pa!"
The brocade box was opened.
A foul and rotten smell swept through the royal court.
"Your Majesty, it's indeed Beigong Boyu!" Yang Biao's pupils constricted as he said hoarsely.”
"Good!"
Liu Hong stood up and laughed loudly." Beigong Boyu, that thief, really thought that he could invade my Liangzhou at will. Today, he was beheaded and killed. He is truly guilty. Yan Chuan, you have made great contributions to the Great Han Dynasty. I will grant you whatever you want!"”
Yan Chuan's expression was solemn as he said,"I only wish for a place to bury my father and the heroic spirit of the Jade School!"”
"Where do you want?"
Liu Hong asked with narrowed eyes.
Yan Chuan's intelligence was beyond his expectations.
Just by relying on a battle axe, one could understand his thoughts.
Obviously, he was well versed in the way of being a minister. He understood that only if the emperor gave it to you, it would be yours. If he did not give it to you, it would be disobeying his superiors.
"Guzang!"
Yan Chuan looked up.
His eyes were filled with determination and determination.
Liu Hong handed the Western Region Director Seal to Zhang Rang and said in a deep voice,""Yan Chuan, your ancestor Yan Zhangming is a relative of Emperor Ming. He has passed away for less than a hundred years. You can be considered a descendant of the Han Dynasty, right?”
"Yes, sir!"
Yan Chuan nodded.
Liu Hong narrowed his eyes as he glanced at He Jin and the others. He said indifferently,"Rang Fu, in a while, draft an edict to divide Wuwei, Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Dunhuang into Beiliang, where the Western Protectorate will be rebuilt. The northern army's Shesheng Battalion and Changshui Battalion will be given to Yan Chuan to form the Protectorate Army. I want the 36 countries of the Western Regions and the Qiang and Hu beyond the Great Wall to not dare to take a single step into the territory of the Great Han!”
"Here!"
Zhang Rang said respectfully.
"Your Majesty!"
Yuan Feng, He Jin, and Yang Ci were shocked.
The five battalions of the northern army were controlled by the three prefectures, the Zhijinwu, the Taiwei, and the Si Li Colonel. Now that they had split up two battalions, it directly weakened the military power of the three clans.
"Yan Chuan!"
"Do you dare to subdue the two schools?"
Liu Hong's eyes were filled with the intention to test him.
Seeing this, Yan Chuan smiled lightly." It is the honor of the soldiers to guard the border. I believe the soldiers who shoot arrows will be very happy!"”
"Prepare another edict!"
Liu Hong stood up and looked down at His Highness 'courtiers. He said resolutely,""Yan Chuan will be a marquis of the four prefectures, Liang Province will be divided into Xi Liang and Bei Liang, the military and government will not interact with each other, to guard the border of Great Liang!”
"Marquises of the four counties?"
Zhang Rang was also shocked, unable to understand.
There were many titles in the Great Han Dynasty. There were Marquis Tong, Marquis Xian, Marquis Duxiang, Marquis Xiang, Marquis Duting, Marquis Ting, and also Marquis with more than ten thousand households.
However, when a prince was conferred the title of king, it was just a matter of turning a county into a country.
Yan Chuan, a young man, how could he get the fief of four counties?
"Your Majesty!"
"The Great Han has never had a marquis of four counties!”
Liu Hong waved his sleeves and said sternly," I will give you the four prefectures. I only have one request for you. If Northern Liang stays, you stay. If Northern Liang falls, you die!"”
"Why Beiliang!"
Yan Chuan's eyes were filled with doubt as he muttered to himself.
Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and explained," General, Chang 'an is in the west, known as Xijing. The other areas are close to Chang' an, so they are classified as Xiliang. The four counties are in the northwest. When it comes to the two places, you can only choose the word north!”
"Yan Chuan!"
Liu Hong's eyes were filled with urgency.
He stripped the four counties out of Liangzhou as a reward. Did he not dare to make enemies with the three clans?
Yan Chuan was startled. He raised his head and said," Your Majesty, the officials of the four prefectures of the Northern Liang have taken over. In a few days, they will lead two armies back to the Northern Liang to guard the 36 countries of the Western Region and the Qiang Hu beyond the Great Wall!"”
"Good!"
Liu Hong's eyes were full of smiles.
" Your Highness," Jia Xu said helplessly.
Although Yan Chuan was brave and extraordinary, Tian Zi's mental skills were still lacking.
Before he returned to Beiliang, he had already made a great enemy. Liu Hong had balanced the military and political power. It was really a bit troublesome.
"In the end, it's still a saber!"
Yang Ci closed his eyes and remained motionless.
In the beginning, he thought that Yan Chuan was going to dominate the court, which really scared him.
