Luoyang, when Chen Mo came back, there was a heavy snowfall in Luoyang.

"Your Majesty lives here?" The goose-feather-like snow covered the entire palace with a layer of silver. Chen Mo looked at the houses not far away and turned to look at the small yellow door next to him.

"Yes, it has been almost three years." Xiao Huangmen replied tremblingly.

What did Chen Mo mean? He was a little confused. The first thing he did when he came back was to send Li Ru to prison. In the court, all the officials belonging to Chen Mo's line were demoted. This move made him a little confused. He didn't know that this big man

What does general mean?

Chen Mo nodded, straightened his clothes, and came outside the palace without entering. He just bowed and shouted: "I, Chen Mo, pay homage to your Majesty!"

The eunuch guarding outside the palace gate saw Chen Mo coming and hurriedly stumbled over to inform him.

There was a panic sound in the quiet courtyard, and after a while, Liu Neng ran out with several concubines.

It has been three years since I last saw Liu Neng. He looked a lot thinner than before, and he was a little confused. Behind him, a group of concubines were also very talented. They looked at Chen Mo with a bit of fear.

and respectful.

"General, I was wrong, but the idea of ​​colluding with Cao Cao back then really had nothing to do with me." When Liu Neng saw Chen Mo, he still had no trace of imperial majesty. He wailed and wanted to bow to Chen Mo.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Mo hurriedly bowed down and supported Liu Neng with one hand: "You are the king and I am the minister. There is no reason for a king to bow to his ministers in this world!"

Several eunuchs hurriedly helped Liu Neng up. Chen Mo then stood up, took Liu Neng's hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. This time, Li Ru has committed a crime and has been thrown into prison by me. I'm just waiting for your Majesty to be punished."

"Really?" Liu Neng looked at Chen Mo who looked respectful and asked cautiously.

"I never lie." Chen Mo nodded affirmatively.

"Then..." Liu Neng hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the palace behind him. He was not in a hurry to say how to deal with Li Ru. He had not been fighting Chen Mo for a day or two, and he had never received any favors from Chen Mo. Ghost

Knowing what Chen Mo was thinking behind his humble face, when the words came to his lips, Liu Neng changed his words and said, "When can I leave here? Shangshu Ling said at the beginning that I can leave here as long as the general returns."

"I am here to take His Majesty to the Jiade Palace." Chen Mo smiled and said: "I have been leading troops in the past few years and know very little about Luoyang. I have made Your Majesty suffer. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"The general is also fighting for the country, how can he be blamed?" Liu Neng said humbly. After spending more than 800 days and nights in the cold palace, Liu Neng also knew how to tolerate it. As for Chen Mo's words, Liu Neng didn't believe a word of it.

Everything in Luoyang City was under Chen Mo's control. Even if troops were sent out, he did not believe that people like Li Ru would dare to hide such a big matter from Chen Mo.

It's just that the facts are no longer important. What's important is that now he can finally go back. Although it doesn't feel good to be ignored by Chen Mo, Liu Neng feels that in fact, he doesn't have to worry about anything and only needs to eat, drink and have fun.

, it’s actually pretty good, at least you don’t have to worry about food and clothing.

"Your Majesty, please!" Chen Mo smiled and gestured for Liu Neng to leave with him.

"General, please!" Liu Neng said politely.

After the two parties exchanged blame, Liu Neng stepped on Chen Mo's escort and led a group of concubines back to the Deyang Palace where they had been away for a long time. He groped for the already unfamiliar dragon bed. If Chen Mo hadn't been there, Liu Neng would have revealed the truth.

Jump on it and give it a good roll.

"Your Majesty." Chen Mo just watched quietly from the side. After Liu Neng's mood stabilized, Chen Mo handed over his hand and said.

"What's the matter, General?" Liu Neng quickly turned around and looked at Chen Mo.

"I have sent orders to the civil and military officials of the imperial court to hold a banquet today. One is to calm His Majesty's shock, and the other is to celebrate the victory in the expedition to the Central Plains. Please make some preparations for Your Majesty." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Banquet~

Liu Neng was somewhat nostalgic for the extravagant days before he entered the cold palace. He had not eaten meat for an unknown period of time. He nodded and said, "Thank you, General, for helping us with this matter."

Chen Mo immediately resigned and prepared for the banquet.

That night, all the officials in Luoyang, from the Sangong and Jiuqing to the civil and military officials, as long as they were more than eight hundred stones in Luoyang, were invited into the palace and ate in the Jiade Hall. Chen Mo even asked Xu Rong to send dances from the Western Regions.

Ji Xian danced, and for a while, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra in Jiade Hall was endless. During the banquet, there were even more wine exchanges. The ministers whispered to each other and toasted from afar.

In the past, just the frail and boneless figure of the Western Region dancer in the hall could make Liu Neng forget to leave. However, at this moment, Liu Neng was on pins and needles and was out of tune with the lively atmosphere of the entire hall. He found that nearly half of the civil and military people in the hall were

He couldn't name them. It was almost impossible to find those ministers who were interested in him three years ago. Occasionally there were one or two, and they were the kind of fill-in that even Liu Neng himself looked down upon.

"Zhong Qing, Zhong Qing~" Seeing Zhong Yao coming up to toast him, Liu Neng glanced at Chen Mo who was chatting happily with several ministers, pulled Zhong Yao and said: "Why are there so many unfamiliar faces in this court? Mrs.

Wei, where is Situ?"

Not to mention that those who were more familiar to him in the past were sunk. Even Yang Biao and Zhao Wen were not here. The three former princes, now only Zhong Yao was left. Among the nine ministers, all the people they knew were Chen Mo's people. This one didn't know them.

…I’m afraid you won’t be interested in yourself, right?

Zhong Yao smiled bitterly and said: "The Taiwei is still imprisoned at home due to some misunderstandings. As for Situ Gong, he died of illness a year ago."

Zhao Wen is dead!?

Liu Neng felt a little melancholy. Among the three princes, the only one who favored him was Situ Zhao Wen. Now that Zhao Wen has left and Yang Biao has been arrested, who can he rely on in the future? Zhong Yao?

Looking at Zhong Yao, Liu Neng opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say a word. Obviously, Zhong Yao couldn't rely on him, otherwise he wouldn't be here.

"I retire." After Zhong Yao offered a toast to Liu Neng, he silently returned to his desk. After the Luoyang turmoil three years ago, the officials involved involved almost all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.

, even Yang Biao was not spared, and most of Jiuqing was kicked off, and the rest were Chen Mo's people. Zhao Wen became ill in anger, and passed away the next year. Although the position of the three princes has not yet been determined.

, but Chen Mo returned to the court with a powerful force that swept the Central Plains, and his momentum was even greater. It was hundreds of times more difficult for Liu Neng to regain control of the government than it was three years ago.

Zhong Yao finally figured it out. It was only a matter of time before the day changed. As for when, Zhong Yao didn't know, but he was not prepared to step forward and just contented himself with retiring. This era no longer belonged to him.

"Your Majesty!" Just when Zhong Yao returned to his desk and Liu Neng was lost in thought, someone from the palace came out and saluted Liu Neng.

"You are..." Liu Neng came back to his senses and looked at the young man in front of him without any impression.

"The young minister Sima Yi is currently serving as the imperial envoy." Sima Yi bowed and said with a smile. The ministers in the palace gradually became quiet and looked at this young man, Sima Yi, Sima Fang's second son. Sima Fang is still in Tianlao now.

What did Sima Yi do when he jumped out at this time?

"Servant?" Liu Neng frowned. What would a small servant stand up to do at this time? But now the court has become unfamiliar. Someone is willing to lean towards him. A small official will be a small official.

Better than nothing, he said with a gentle smile on his face: "What's the matter with the minister?"

"Your Majesty, this time the general has recovered the Central Plains. His achievements are so high that they are rare in ancient times and modern times. I believe that in this prosperous time, the general should be rewarded heavily to calm the world." Sima Yi bowed and said.

Liu Neng frowned, what does this mean? The general is already a highly respected minister. Even if he is re-established as prime minister, he will be no different from the general, right? Is it necessary? Where does Sima Yi stand?

As the son of Sima Fang, Liu Neng instinctively felt that Sima Yi should be on his side.

"Of course it will be a reward." Liu Neng hesitated for a moment. Since someone brought it up, Liu Neng knew that this matter could not be avoided. But how to award the reward? Liu Neng was a little confused. Prime Minister? With Chen Mo's current status, it is equal to an equal status, but

What other official position can be given to him if he is granted another title? Is it possible to give him the emperor directly?

Liu Neng looked at Chen Mo and asked a very idiotic question: "General, how do you think I should reward him?"

"I am fighting to restore the country of the Han Dynasty because I hope that my country will be at peace as soon as possible. Besides, I am already a highly respected minister, so how dare I ask for rewards again? I only ask that your majesty give all the property and property awarded to me to meritorious ministers.

Don't let these soldiers who fought bloody battles for our Han Dynasty feel cold. I wish you the best." Chen Mo stood up and saluted Liu Neng with a smile.

this……

Liu Neng had a headache. He might not be a wise emperor when he was the emperor, but he was good at business, and he was very knowledgeable about the world. Chen Mo said no, but he had to give it, not to mention that the contribution Chen Mo had made this time was too great.

Well, in the entire Central Plains, the land of Qingxu, Yanyu and the four states, if no one said anything, Liu Neng would just get away with it. Now that someone has brought it up, how can the emperor continue to pretend to be stupid?

He glared at Sima Yi with some hatred, and he finally saw that this kid was not talking to him at all, but was clearly talking to Chen Mo.

The ministers gradually calmed down, waiting to see how Liu Neng would handle the matter.

Zhong Yao on the side hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said: "The general has both civil and military skills. Before he conquered the world, the position of general is naturally suitable. But now that most of the world has been peaceful, it is time to cultivate the people's livelihood. I think that I can be promoted to the rank of general."

Prime Minister, I will assist your Majesty in running the government and commanding hundreds of officials. The general, regardless of his talents, virtues and merits, is qualified for this position. I hope your Majesty will learn from it."

Sima Yi looked at Zhong Yao and said: "Sikong, with his position as a general, he is only on the same level as the prime minister. Besides, the prime minister has been abolished a long time ago. Is there any reason to use him again now?"

"The ancestral rule may not be correct. The abolition of the prime minister in the past was due to the current situation. Now it is not a bad idea to re-establish the prime minister. I wonder how the imperial envoy thinks he should be sealed?" Zhong Yao asked rhetorically.

"Since we want to break the ancestral rule, why not make us king?" Sima Yi asked.

"It's ridiculous. Emperor Gaozu has already made it clear that people with different surnames cannot be crowned kings!" The new Taichang frowned and said, "Who are you? How dare you discuss the government's affairs unreasonably?"

"What do you think, General?" Liu Neng didn't dare to let them continue arguing. If he was crowned king, would he still have any meaning as an emperor?

"Your Majesty makes the decision." Chen Mo nodded slightly.

"In this case, the general will be promoted to the prime minister, ranking above the three princes and the leader of hundreds of officials. He will lead the court for me." Liu Neng said loudly immediately.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Mo stood up and bowed to Liu Neng.

"Your Majesty is wise!" All the officials stood up and bowed to Liu Neng who had a bitter look on his face. From then on, Chen Mo was truly the leader of one person and the leader of ten thousand people, whether in reality or in name, this was very important to Chen Mo.
