There was still something to do?
Reward?
The officials were confused, thinking how old Yang Yu was. In time, it would not be a problem for him to be conferred the title of marquis and general.
As expected, Dong Zhuo's next words were related to rewards.
"Zijiang, I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. You have made a great contribution, so I want to reward you.”
Dong Zhuo patted Yang Yu's shoulder and smiled kindly,"Your general Xue Rengui is extremely brave, but it's a waste to be a small commander.”
"Thus, I am appointed as the commander of another division. The 2,000 troops will still be under your jurisdiction, but when necessary, they can be mobilized.”
"I will also reward you with a hundred gold, a thousand bolts of brocade, and a palace maid.”
Clang!
It was unknown which official's wine cup fell to the ground.
However, at this moment, no one cared about his lack of etiquette.
A palace maid?
Was Dong Xiangguo out of his mind?
Nominally, all the women in the palace belonged to the emperor.
Now that the Young Emperor was young, everyone knew that the harem was Dong Xiangguo's private territory.
Dong Xiangguo had always been the only one who snatched women.
Thinking back, even Lu Bu did not receive such treatment when he came to join, and Xue Rengui was unknown in the past. He had only suddenly risen to prominence. Did Dong Xiangguo really think so highly of him?
The intelligent officials quickly reacted.
They all gasped.
What a good move!
How was this a reward? It was more like a trap.
Xue Rengui was Yang Yu's subordinate. He was said to be loyal and low-key.
Now that he was leading an army, even though he was still under Yang Yu's command in name, Dong Xiangguo had also said that he could adapt to the situation when necessary.
It was equivalent to accepting them whenever he wanted.
Anyone with ambition would definitely get close to Dong Xiangguo.
On the surface, his official position was still below Yang Yu's, so Yang Yu could not find any fault with it.
The most murderous thing was bestowing a daughter.
Yang Yu had ten beauties, which was a generous reward.
How could she compare to a palace maid?
In terms of standards, it was already a lot higher than Yang Yu.
Any higher-ups would be suspicious of this and would be even more at odds with him.
Thinking of this, the officials looked at Li Ru, who was resting with his eyes closed.
It definitely came from him!
Poison!
How vicious!
If he didn't snatch it openly, he could shut up the mouths of everyone in the world!
Hearing this, Yang Yu's expression remained unchanged, but his arm that was being held by Dong Zhuo trembled.
After Dong Zhuo sensed it, his smile grew wider.
"Zijiang, you have to share my worries in the future.”
Yang Yu cupped his fists again." Yes, sir."”
After three rounds of wine, he pushed the cup and changed the cup.
The banquet lasted until midnight.
Dong Zhuo was drunk and was helped into the side hall.
The rest of the officials bowed and saw him off.
When he was out of the sight of the ministers, Dong Zhuo's footsteps suddenly changed, and his eyes became much clearer.
"Ziyou, how is it?"
Li Ru did not answer immediately. After a moment of silence, he said,"Returning to the Prime Minister, Yang Yu's reaction tonight was not strange.”
Dong Zhuo was delighted.
Since the good son-in-law said that there was nothing wrong with him, he could use him without worry.
"It's just that…"
"But what?"
Li Ru rolled his eyes." When he rewarded Xue Rengui, Yang Yu's expression didn't change much. I'm not sure if he's shrewd or not.”
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo felt relieved and said confidently,"Ziyou might not know, but his face was as unmoving as a mountain, but when I grabbed his arm, it trembled non-stop, hahaha!”
Upon hearing this, Li Ru's cautious thoughts disappeared and he heaved a sigh of relief." Since that's the case, this person can be used. Next, we just need to wait for Yang Xue to turn against us."”
Outside the hall, on the white marble avenue.
Ever since they entered Chang 'an, the officials had no chance to catch their breath. They were directly dragged to the banquet and were shocked during the banquet.
After the banquet ended, the officials walked quickly without exchanging pleasantries. They only wanted to return to the residence to rest.
Therefore, after some officials flattered Yang Yu, they left in twos and threes.
After all, he was a popular general. Even if he couldn't leave an impression, he couldn't become a political enemy.
Yang Yu pretended to be gloomy. He knew that Fatty Dong had eyes all over the palace.
He believed that the performance just now would make Dong Zhuo and Li Ru lower their guard to the minimum, and their future days would not be good. There would be no resistance to the plan.
But when he left the hall, he was beaming with joy. All his previous efforts must have been wasted.
"General Yang has made a meteoric rise and is deeply trusted by Dong Xiangguo.”
An old laugh came from beside him.
He turned around and saw Situ Wangyun.
Despite the old man's sage-like and amiable appearance, Yang Yu knew very well that he was full of bad things.
"Greetings, Wang Situ."
"You're new here, General. I believe you haven't set up a mansion yet, have you?" Wang Yun said amiably.”
Indeed.
This was the first time he had come to Chang 'an, and he only had the money he had been rewarded.
Now that they were moving westward, the land in Chang 'an would definitely be ridiculously expensive and not easy to buy.
Yang Yu sighed slightly." Time is tight. I want to stay in the camp outside the city temporarily. I'll buy some property in the future."”
He thought to himself, Since you took the initiative to come to my door, it would be a waste not to take advantage of you.
As expected.
Wang Yun laughed heartily." In that case, I happen to have a shabby house in the east of the city that has been abandoned for a long time. If you don't abandon it, I'll give it to you."”
Shabby my ass!
Wang Yun smiled on the surface, but he was miserable on the inside.
In order to win over Yang Yu for his future plans, that mansion was one of the best in Chang 'an.
Forget it, since he could get rid of Thief Dong, a mansion was not a big deal.
"How can I do this!" Yang Yu pretended to be fearful.
Wang Yun deliberately pulled a long face." Why? Are you looking down on me?”
"I don't dare, I don't dare!"
"Then it's decided." Wang Yun returned to his smiling face." At the age of a crown, you're promoted as a general of the Tiger Troop. You don't have a decent house, and it's a disgrace to the royal family if the people see you. It's getting late, so I'll invite you to the house for a drink when I have time."”
Yang Yu cupped his fists and bowed." Thank you, Wang Situ."”
When Wang Yun turned around, the smile on his face was gone, and his eyes were vicious.
Hehe, now you're thanking me?
Don't bear grudges when you get stabbed.
Looking at Yang Yu again, the corners of his mouth also curled up into an imperceptible sneer.
It was still unknown who was the fox and who was the cat.
