Chapter 425: Pei Qing's Great Deeds

『Click the chapter and report an error』

Pei Qing led a large army to welcome the emperor, drove Cao Cao away, and recovered Jizhou and Youzhou. His reputation was unparalleled and the world was attracted by the attention of the world. The emperor of the Han Dynasty was naturally very happy and rewarded Pei Qing, giving Pei Qing the prime minister and general, and was named Wenxi Marquis (County Marquis). At the same time, he continued to increase his fiefs. In the end, Pei Qing had two thousand fiefs, and also had the privilege of praising and worshiping, not going to court, and entering the palace. This was also extremely brilliant.

However, the rewards of the little emperor were actually a bit harsh, because the general and Wenxihou had long been there, and the 2,000 fiefs were not many. In history, many ministers under Cao Cao had more than two thousand fiefs, such as Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Cao Xiu, Zang Ba, etc., all of them had more than two thousand fiefs. Even the highest fiefs of the man Chong households reached 9600. Besides, even if they were not compared with these people in history, his previous fiefs reached 1800 households, and now there are only 200 households. So what the little emperor actually gave him was the title of a prime minister and three privileges, but this was all false, because he had the power to record the affairs of the Shangshu before, and in fact he was the prime minister, so those three privileges had no practical use, but the emperor's etiquette was slightly more advanced.

So from the actual analysis, the little emperor gave Pei Qing too little and too harsh, which made many generals and officials under Pei Qing's command angry about this. They wanted to go to the palace to ask the little emperor for an explanation, but Pei Qing stopped them.

In fact, the little emperor's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. Since he came to Luoyang, he has truly become the lord of the harem. Not only does he offer a lot of clothing and food supplies every day, but he also replaced the entire palace with his own people. He has recruited many new confidant eunuchs around him. These eunuchs make slander around the little emperor every day, and the main topic surrounding him is to regain power from Pei Qing.

In fact, these eunuchs had no good intentions? They clearly saw Pei Qing’s powerful hands, his eyes were red and his ears were hot, and he wanted to replace him.

At first, the little emperor flatly refused the eunuchs' words and rebuked them sternly, but as the eunuchs persuaded and slandered Pei Qing many times, especially the insults of Cao Cao's in power, the little emperor was greatly shocked and began to slowly shake.

In fact, the little emperor himself was unwilling to let down the power. He also wanted to become a person like Emperor Xuan of Han and Emperor He of Han, get rid of powerful ministers and regain power. At the same time, he made a secret plan in his heart that he would leave Pei Qing with his life after seizing power in the future. This is also a contribution to Pei Qing's contributions over the years. Therefore, now he is also in the palace and wants to do a great career.

However, before the little emperor took action, his sister Liu Ning began to speak up for Pei Qing, because Liu Ning had promised that as long as Pei Qing could welcome the emperor back, he would be appointed as Anhan Gong. Although Pei Qing refused, Liu Ning did not give up on such a plan.

So Liu Ning traveled thousands of miles from Chang'an to Luoyang and went straight into the palace to meet the little emperor.

"Sister, why are you here? You won't say anything when you come? If I had known, I would have gone out of the city to greet you in person." The little emperor suddenly saw Liu Ning, and felt guilty and said in a panic.

But Liu Ning said lightly: "Your Majesty is my son today, and his status is noble. How dare I deal with your great master?"

"Sister is joking. What is the relationship between us? That's a real sibling. Without a sister, how could I be today?" The little emperor said with discomfort and a little panic when he heard this.

When Liu Ning heard this, his eyebrows stood up and said sternly: "Do you know I am your sister? Do you still remember my help to you? Since that's the case, I will also talk to you, not to mention Pei Qing once saved my life, nor to say that he was your brother-in-law's personal relationship. Let's talk about justice. If it weren't for him, you would be a puppet around Cao Cao. You can't decide on life and death, and you can't protect your wives and concubines. But now? You live in this exquisite palace, enjoy the rich clothes and food, and you no longer have to worry about the threat of your own and your wives and concubines.

Have you ever been grateful to him? On the surface, you look like that, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that most of those favors are what he once had. You just made a clever name and bluff. He made such great contributions. You beat him at will with just this little reward. Ask yourself, is your conscience eaten by dogs? You follow such eunuchs every day, plotting to seize his power, and vow to be the second emperor of Emperor Xiaoxuan and Emperor Xiaohe. Do you really don’t know? This is your attitude towards meritorious officials?"

The little emperor was bullied by Dong Zhuo for so many years, and then by Cao Cao. He was cowardly and was incompetent. As soon as he heard Liu Ning's words, his momentum became weak. He quickly said embarrassedly: "These are all provocations from some villains. Brother, I didn't listen to it. To be honest, Brother is now considering how to reward brother-in-law such a great hero, but he has no idea yet. Why don't sister, please take a closer look?"

"Hmph, the villain is provoking? Which villain is provoking? Such villain should be killed!" Liu Ning immediately showed murderous aura and insisted that the little emperor point out who was provoking. The little emperor had no choice but to point out a few of the lower eunuchs and hand them over to Liu Ning for disposal. Unexpectedly, these little eunuchs saw that they were about to die, so they naturally tried their best to bite them and pointed out all the newly appointed Zhongchang servants of the little emperor.

Seeing this, Liu Ning immediately said, "These people shook their lips and tongues, spreading right and wrong, fearing that the world will not be in chaos, slandering the heroes, and making the world feel heartbroken. It is really hateful." Then he ordered the female official Wang Yi who was following him: "Drag these villains out and kill them!"

Wang Yi was Liu Ning's newly recruited female official. She was from Tianshui. When she heard that the princess recruited female official because she had certain abilities and was not willing to live a lifetime like an ordinary woman, she went to apply for the recruitment and was selected. Seeing that she was strong and knew strategy, Liu Ning asked her to replace the previous male officer and become the Sima of the Princess's Mansion, and in charge of military affairs in the mansion.

Wang Yi did not refuse and actually became an officer. This time, because Liu Ning went to Luoyang, she personally led the army to accompany her. Now that she saw that the princess was destined, she naturally did not dare to neglect her. She immediately waved her hand and ordered dozens of warriors to drag these eunuchs out and kill them all.

Although the little emperor couldn't bear it, he didn't dare to stop him. He had been afraid of this strong-minded sister since he was a child, and he had to make mistakes, so he could only make such a pity.

After killing these eunuchs by stick, Liu Ning said again: "Brother, you are still young and don't know the aversion to these eunuchs. When my father was in power, if there were no Ten Eternal Services, how could my Han Dynasty have reached such an uncontrollable level? Don't blame my sister, I want to eliminate future troubles forever. As for Pei Qing, with his heart, with his merits, he regained such a wide territory as Sili, Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou, so that the country's fortune will be stable and the country will continue. Shouldn't you be the Anhan Gong?"
