Changle Palace.
Singing and dancing, drums and music.
There were hundreds of seats in the banquet, and it was the grandest banquet after the capital was moved.
Dong Zhuo's face was red as he raised his glass.
When he was drunk, he actually took the wine pot and walked down from the main seat, personally pouring wine for Yang Yu.
Yang Yu naturally had to express his fear and trepidation, not daring to push him away.
"Why do you have to belittle yourself?" Dong Zhuo laughed until the fat on his face shook." This victory is comparable to Wei Huo's. Come, come, drink this cup!”
Yang Yu drank it all in one gulp, feeling extremely disdainful in his heart.
He had indeed contributed a lot to the recovery of Hetao, but it was completely nonsense to say that he was competing with Wei Huo.
To put it bluntly, comparing his subordinates to Wei Huo, Dong Zhuo was actually comparing them to Emperor Wu of Han.
It seemed that during this time, Dong Zhuo had the intention to declare himself emperor.
Yang Yu bowed slightly." It's the duty of a military officer to be loyal to the king. It's the duty of a minister to go into battle and kill the enemy. You're too kind, Prime Minister."”
Dong Zhuo's smile grew wider.
He really liked Yang Yu's personality.
Unlike those old generals and direct descendants under him, after their chickens and dogs ascended to the heavens, they more or less had an arrogant aura.
The original intention of this expedition was to defend the north of Weishui River.
Yang Yu was good. Not only did he not lose an inch of land, but he also used the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves to recover the Hetao. It was really unexpected.
Especially when he killed countless Hu Qiang people, this move suited his temper too well.
" Sigh, General, you're good at everything, but you're too humble and humble. This battle shook the world and restored the Han family's territory. It's truly a great achievement. Today, in front of all the civil and military officials, I want to reward you heavily!”
Upon hearing this, the court officials immediately pricked up their ears.
This was the theme of the banquet today.
Countless people were curious about how Dong Zhuo would reward them.
Dong Zhuo patted Yang Yu's shoulder." This expedition will pass through Shangjun, Shuofang, Xihe, Wuyuan, and other old Han prefectures. These used to belong to Bingzhou.”
Hearing this, many officials widened their eyes.
"I have discussed with His Majesty and decided to appoint you as the Bishop of Bing Province. You will take up your post in a few days and defend the northern border for the Great Han.”
Hiss--
Gasps could be heard.
As expected!
Dong Zhuo had actually made Yang Yu the Prefecture Overseer!
But how old was Yang Yu this year?
He had never heard of any aristocratic family.
Being a Prefecture Overseer wasn't even a meteoric rise, but rather, it was shocking. It had never been heard of since the founding of the Great Han Dynasty.
Looking at the first seat of the civil officials, Wang Yun heard this reward when he was pushing his cup. He immediately clenched his wine cup tightly, and his veins bulged.
No!
Yang Yu must not be allowed to leave Chang 'an!
The plan had already been decided. They were just waiting for Yang Yu's return!
If he left, the effect would be greatly reduced!
"Prime Minister, you can't--"
Before Wang Yun could stand up, Cai Yong and Grand Marshal Yang Biao beside him spoke in unison.
Although Cai Yong didn't like to form cliques, it didn't mean that he was brainless.
This kind of reward was really against common sense. Combined with the fact that he had made a great contribution in this battle, it was possible for him to use the position of Prefecture Overseer to probe if Dong Zhuo had any doubts.
As for Yang Yu, he was still young and inexperienced. It was very easy for a young man to get carried away in his high spirits.
If he accepted this, who knew if Dong Zhuo would turn hostile and raise his butcher knife.
As for Yang Biao, no one knew why he stood up. Even Yang Yu did not expect it.
"Oh? Why not?" Dong Zhuo's smile didn't fade as he asked the two ministers. There was indeed a faint killing intent in his heart, but it wasn't strong.
Yang Yu had indeed made a great contribution and deserved to be rewarded.
However, Li Ru's words made his temperamental actions cautious again. The prime minister ordered all officials to welcome him, but did not order the people to eat and drink. The prime minister might as well try him again.
You can make contributions.
It was a sin to have more credit than the leader.
Wang Yun finally stood up and bowed.
"Prefecture Overseer is a herder on behalf of the heavens. Unless you are an all-rounded military and political talent, you cannot be competent. General Yang indeed has great military achievements, but his qualifications and experience are still shallow.”
"Everyone knows about the Prime Minister's love for you, but if you take office rashly, things will go against your wishes. The world might say that General Yang's reputation is difficult to live up to, or that the Prime Minister doesn't know how to judge people.”
The ministers nodded repeatedly.
This was the truth. Becoming a high-ranking official now was indeed pulling up seedlings to help them grow.
In the entire banquet, there was only one person who did not move.
At the very end of the civil officials, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe were brought by Niu Fu to broaden their horizons.
He had been eating, drinking, and enjoying the singing and dancing performances in peace. He did not care about the storm that had been deeply hidden at all.
If he couldn't even pass this checkpoint, then it could only prove that he had been blind.
"In ancient times, there was Gan Luobai. What's wrong with following the old things?”Dong Zhuo seemed to have made up his mind as he smiled at Yang Yu.
As long as he dared to accept it!
That would guarantee that he wouldn't live until sunrise tomorrow!
After a long silence, Yang Yu sighed.
He untied the sword at his waist and tied it to Dong Zhuo.
Li Ru, who had been observing from not far away, immediately closed his eyes and raised his wine glass to drink in peace.
Jia Xu, on the other hand, had a smile on his face as he ate with even more relish.
As for the others, they were all confused.
"Zijiang, what is the meaning of this?" Dong Zhuo was confused.
" I should be grateful for the favor of the Imperial Court," Yang Yu said in a deep voice." However, I know that my abilities are shallow and I'm not competent."”
"However, the Imperial Court is questioning you. As a subject, I cannot refuse. Thus, I can only retire and return to the fields to repay the king's kindness.”
The ministers exclaimed.
No one had expected Yang Yu to give such an answer.
That was the Prefecture Overseer!
And it was Bingzhou, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack!
If one devoted themselves to business, they would definitely become a vassal. There were countless people in the court who wanted to become a prefect but could not!
Even if he really didn't want to be an official, he shouldn't have resigned from his current position, right?
Dong Zhuo was stunned. He really didn't expect Yang Yu to be so unusual. He didn't know how to deal with Yang Yu, so he glanced at Li Ru.
Seeing his good son-in-law nod his head slightly without showing any emotion, he finally relaxed and the smile returned to his face.
"Zijiang is unyielding, and his heart for the country and the people is touching.”Dong Zhuo showed a look of hidden anger." But it's still a little too much to retire. Could it be that you didn't like being under me?”
Yang Yu bowed." I wouldn't dare."
Dong Zhuo's anger turned into a smile." Then take back your sword. I'll have to rely on you to take care of everything in the future."”
"Let's put the matter of Prefecture Overseer aside for now, but it's my way of doing things to reward those who have contributed. Come, let me go forward to hear the title.”
Yang Yu cupped his fists.
"Yang Yu will be the Marquis of Yang, with a thousand households in charge of the defense of Tongguan.”
"Zijiang, Tongguan is the second line of defense against the Guandong rebel army. I can rest assured that I will leave it to you.”
Dong Zhuo was obviously very satisfied with this result.
As for Marquises?
He had seen how many marquises and earls he had been conferred since he entered the capital.
Anyway, there wasn't going to be another one.
Now that he had passed all the tests, it would be a waste if he did not entrust him with important tasks. Therefore, it was most appropriate to hand Tongguan to Yang Yu.
Yang Yu retreated in order to advance, could not push again, so gladly accepted.
Everyone was happy at the banquet, except for one person who hated being reborn.
Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian.
How could he not feel hatred in his heart?
Wang Yun took in the vicious expression on her face.
