When Lu Yu heard this, he immediately said in fear and trepidation,""Your Majesty, you praise me too much! I'm terrified!"
"This time, it was all thanks to Your Majesty overseeing Luoyang and strategizing! There was also the Great General and the various lords who were in the center to dispatch troops and transport supplies.”
"There's also Huangfu Song, Zhu Juan…Only by sacrificing so many famous generals and hundreds of thousands of soldiers could they achieve such a brilliant success and pacify the Yellow Turban Rebellion in such a short period of time! How could I dare to take all the credit?”
Good words! Lu Yu would still say it.
As expected, after hearing his words, whether it was Tian Zi, He Jin, Yuan Kui, or Huangfu Song, they all smiled and had a better impression of Lu Yu.
At least on the surface.
"Haha!"
Liu Hong smiled and pointed at Lu Yu,""My dear minister, you're too humble! We and the civil and military officials have made great contributions, but no one can erase your great contribution of killing the three bandit leaders and pacifying Jizhou!”
"Zhen is happy today! Other than the reward later, I will allow you to make a request! As long as I can do it, I will agree to it today!”
"Tell me! If you have any requests, come quickly!"
This fellow was really thick-skinned. He really felt that he had contributed greatly to this matter.
Of course, from his words, he was indeed very happy today.
When Lu Yu heard this, he immediately bowed and said," I have no other requests. I only hope that Your Majesty can pardon my teacher, General Lu Zhi, for his innocence!"”
"I'm not afraid to tell the truth to Your Majesty. This subject's ability to lead troops to war was mostly learned from Teacher Lu during the few months on the battlefield!”
"Thanks to his careful guidance, I was able to help Your Majesty suppress the rebels. I hope Your Majesty can agree!”
After he finished speaking, Lu Yu bowed deeply.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Juan nodded in relief.
This child did not forget his original heart, and his filial piety was commendable.
They were envious of Lu Zhi and Cai Yong for taking in such a good disciple.
When Yuan Kui and the rest heard this, they did not think much of it.
Although he had a part in framing Lu Zhi and sending him to prison, it was all in the past.
It was fine to let Lu Zhi out now.
Moreover, it was good that Lu Yu could change Tian Zi's willful condition to this one, so that the little brat would not really raise any conditions that they could not accept.
If Tian Zi agreed, they would feel terrible.
"Oh?"
When Liu Hong heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said in surprise,""My dear minister, General Lu Zhi taught you the art of war? This is really surprising!"
"Alright then! Your filial piety is commendable! I promise you! Pardon Lu Zhi immediately."
"In addition, considering that he has helped me teach such a handsome talent like you, I will pardon him and restore him to his original position.”
In fact, even if Lu Yu did not mention it, Liu Hong was prepared to release Lu Zhi soon.
Moreover, he would at most let him recuperate for a few months and find an excuse to reinstate him.
After all, he knew about Lu Zhi's crimes.
Moreover, Lu Zhi was a staunch royalist and a talented person. How could he let him go?
Liu Hong admired Lu Yu's character even more for being able to think about his teacher at a time like this.
"I! Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise!"
Lu Yu was also delighted and thanked him.
"Yes!"
The emperor, Liu Hong, waved his hand in satisfaction, signaling Lu Yu to leave.
Lu Yu immediately returned to his previous position.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Juan nodded at him kindly. Lu Yu also nodded in response.
At this moment, Liu Hong continued,""Next, we'll start rewarding them according to their contributions!”
Then, he gave Zhang Rang a look."Zhang Rang, read!"
"Here!"
Zhang Rang understood and immediately took a step forward. He unfolded an imperial edict and said,"
"In the seventh year of Guanghe, Emperor Liu Hong issued an edict saying: ”
"Lu Yu, the general of the crusade against the bandits, first save the King of Zhao, then lift the siege of Changshe and kill the leader of the bandits, Zhang Liang; Later, he was ordered to take charge of the military affairs of Jizhou in the face of danger. He defeated the enemy with fewer troops and reversed the situation of the war. He successively killed Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, the leaders of the bandits. Put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Jizhou."
"Merit! He was specially appointed General of Zhendong and had the power to open the government and build teeth.”
When He Jin heard this, his face instantly darkened. His gaze was fixed on Liu Hong.
Yuan Kui's expression changed slightly.
This was different from what they had discussed yesterday.
Wasn't he going to take Lu Yu's position as a military officer?
What did Tian Zi mean?
Playing with them.
Unfortunately, Liu Hong ignored their gazes without changing his expression.
Zhang Rang continued to read without any pause,"Appoint him as the prefect of Nanyang and the Marquis of Wu County.”
"Hiss!"
Many of the officials gasped when they heard the reward, causing the temperature in Garde Hall to rise by a few degrees.
Nanyang Prefecture?
That was the Imperial Home!
Being able to become the prefect of that place had an extraordinary meaning. It meant that Lu Yu was highly regarded by the emperor. In the future, he would enter Luoyang and be entrusted with an important task.
Furthermore, the fact that Lu Yu was directly conferred the title of Marquis of Wu County also shocked everyone.
This was basically the peak of Marquis Han.
How old was Lu Yu?
He was only 15 or 16, but he had reached the highest rank in a single step. How could he surprise the civil and military officials?
With the addition of the other two rewards, the emperor's favor for Lu Yu must have reached the heavens, right?
At this moment, the faces of He Jin, Yuan Kui, and the others had completely darkened. They were extremely ugly.
The Emperor is stirring up trouble again!
Forget about the title of nobility. With Lu Yu's contribution, this was what he deserved.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Huangfu Song and the others to reward him.
But why did you appoint Lu Yu as Nanyang Prefecture Governor?
Nanyang was the hometown of the emperor, and it was adjacent to Luoyang. It was an important town.
They felt like they had been played by Tian Zi.
Yesterday's discussion also ended in loneliness.
However, it was not good for them to flare up now. They could only wait for an opportunity to return the favor in the future.
"We definitely won't let this matter go!”
He Jin, Yuan Kui, and the others swore angrily in their hearts.
The rewards continued. He was promoted to the left general, led Jizhou animal husbandry, and was granted the title of Marquis of Duxiang.”
"Zhu Juan. He was promoted to the rank of Lord of the West.”
"Cao Cao was appointed Minister of Jinan and Marquis of Duting.”
"Yuan Shao is a military officer, Marquis Duting.
"Sun Jian!"
