Chapter 190 Zhonglang General
Chapter 190
"Haha, General Niu Fu joked. Lv Bu just relied on the general's reputation, otherwise there would be such an honor." As a powerful figure under Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu is still very concerned about him.
"General Lv Bu is not arrogant or impatient. He really has the demeanor of a general. Let's go to see the general now." Niu Fu saw that Lv Bu was polite and nodded without saying much.
At this time, Dong Zhuo's frame had driven over and stopped on the road of the army. Dong Zhuo sat in it, accompanied by civil and military officials, who seemed to be in a high position and invincible. Seeing Dong Zhuo's frame approaching, Niu Fu took the lead in jumping off the horse and walked to Dong Zhuo's car. Seeing Niu Fu's behavior, Lv Bu also got off the horse, and then the generals behind him jumped off the horses one by one and stood aside.
"When my subordinates return, how dare they work for the general to welcome him from afar? He is really lucky for three lifetimes." Niu Fu came to Dong Zhuo first, and then got up and said.
"I met my father when I returned from the child's expedition. This time, I led the army to go on an expedition. Relying on my father's prestige, I fought against the stubborn enemy. Finally, I was lucky not to disgrace my life and conquer the enemy. Please give my father's instruction." After Lv Bu dismant, he quickly stepped forward and fell to the ground and said.
"Hahaha, I have heard about your record as a father. Yes, I have not humiliated my reputation as a father. My father has asked people to report to the emperor, make you a general, and Niu Fu as a cavalry general. In the future, you should cooperate sincerely and help the father to unify the world." Seeing Lv Bu and Niu Fu coming forward to meet, Dong Zhuo stretched out, got out of the car and patted them on the shoulder and said.
"Niu Fu thanked the general for his cultivation. Niu Fu must fully assist the general to unify the world." When Niu Fu heard that he was going to be a cavalry general, he was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to Dong Zhuo.
"Thank you for your appreciation. The child will do his best to calm down his father." Lv Bu also said in a serious way.
"Okay, with the help of you two, I, Dong Zhuo, will sweep away the princes of the world." Dong Zhuo said with satisfaction to Lv Bu and Niu Fu's answer. Come on, you two are in the city with me. Dong Zhuo stretched out his two hands, grabbed Niu Fu and Lv Bu's hands and chased them away to his car.
After that, Lv Bu and Niu Fu returned to the city in the same car with Dong Zhuo, and those high-ranking sergeants in the past followed the car and walked step by step. When everyone came to the gate of Luoyang City, the people who were chasing and watching the bustle were already crowded.
"Look who's in that car. It's so beautiful." Some people are talking about it.
"The three are great figures. The one in the middle is the general of the dynasty, the emperor's father Dong Zhuo, and the two next to him are the sons and sons-in-law of General Dong Zhuo. They are all great people." A good person said.
"It's nonsense. I only got to the point that the emperor's surname is Liu. How can the general's surname Dong be the emperor's father? Besides, you said that one of the two people next to him is the son of Dong Zhuo. Isn't the son of General Dong the emperor?" Some people are puzzled to talk about it.
"Don't talk nonsense. Talking nonsense will kill your head." Someone reminded that only at this time did these people not say anything more?
"The imperial edict has arrived, Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu, and Lv Bu received the imperial edict." When everyone came to the gate of the city, they were receiving the envy of the people. A shrill voice came from men and women. Then, a team of eunuchs appeared in front of them, and the eunuchs held a golden decree in their hands.
"Hahaha, is Li Ru still doing things very fast? You see, this decree has arrived. Let's go and receive the imperial edict." When Dong Zhuo saw the eunuch in front of him, he knew that it was Li Ru who had done it.
So Lv Bu and Niu Fu, led by Dong Zhuo, got out of the car and came to the eunuchs. At this time, the position where the three people stood just formed a pin shape. Dong Zhuo stood in the front, while Lv Bu and Niu Fu stood behind Dong Zhuo.
"Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu, Lv Bu received the order." Seeing that the three of them did not kneel down, the eunuch who preached the edict shouted in a shrill voice again.
Originally, in the face of the emperor's imperial edict, Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu and Lv Bu were going to kneel down. However, Dong Zhuo's dictatorship is also the father of the son of heaven, so he doesn't have to kneel. There must be no reason for a father to kneel his son in the world. As for Niu Fu and Lv Bu as Dong Zhuo's generals, Dong Zhuo did not kneel, and naturally Niu Fu and Lv Bu did not kneel. In this way, the eunuch in charge of spreading the decree had to remind him again. Seeing that the imperial edict arrived, Dong Zhuo and the other two did not kneel down. The big Han officials and people watching outside were sighing, and some people had begun to whisper quietly.
"Lieutenant Lv Bu received the order." Seeing that the scene was a little strange, Lv Bu knelt down first. Then he persuaded Dong Zhuo, "Father, civil and military officials and the people are all here. Father, you'd better not fall into the food."
Lv Bu's kneeling made many civil and military officials nervous and finally relaxed. Although Dong Zhuo has never cared much about the Emperor of Han, as long as Dong Zhuo does not make a rebellion, these officials still have room for manoeuvre. At least without opposing Dong Zhuo, his life is guaranteed. However, if Dong Zhuo turns against the Emperor of Han now, maybe Dong Zhuo will not do anything to the emperor, but these officials have to choose between Emperor Han and Dong Zhuo, and this choice will be fatal for many officials.
"What my son said is, you can accept the order." After listening to Lv Bu's words, Dong Zhuo said lightly.
"I, Niu Fu took the order." As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, Niu Fu nodded and knelt down and shouted.
With Lv Bu and Niu Fu kneeling down, all the officials and people have now knelt down, leaving only Dong Zhuo at the gate of Luoyang City and several eunuchs opposite.
"Okay, let's start reading the edict. Don't let the people wait. The soldiers worked hard all the way, and they were about to enter the city. Watching everyone kneel down, Dong Zhuo said lightly, as if the imperial edict was just a scene for it.
"Yes, General." When the eunuch heard Dong Zhuo's words, he hurriedly agreed. The eunuch can fully understand that Dong Zhuo does not kneel down. It must be that Dong Zhuo does not have to kneel down when he sees the emperor, not to mention that it is the imperial edict now. Moreover, the reason why Dong Zhuo wants to read the edict in broad daylight today is to show his prestige to the people of the world.
"According to the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: General Dong Zhuo, the ruler of the imperial court, calmed down the chaos in the northwest, made outstanding achievements, and was promoted to the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Niu Fu sat in Chang'an and commanded Ruo Ding. He guarded the side of the Han Dynasty and was promoted to a cavalry general. Lv Bu led his army to fight against the enemy. He was outstanding in battle, brave and unparalleled. He was promoted to a general. The eunuch read out the imperial edict word by word.
"Hangtow, long live my emperor, long live. Minister. Thank you for your grace." Lv Bu and Niu Fu knelt down and fell to the ground.
"Okay, give it to me." Dong Zhuo didn't worship. He just said a good word lightly, and then stretched out his hand to show that he was going to accept the order.
"Congratulations to the Prime Minister, congratulations to the two generals." In the face of Dong Zhuo's request for the imperial edict, the eunuch could only hand it over helplessly and said congratulations flatteringly.
"Two generals, let's go back to the car. I have set up a banquet in the house to pick up the two of you. We won't get drunk. Dong Zhuo ignored the flattering eunuch, but turned around and pulled up Niu Fu and Lv Bu, noting everyone.
After Dong Zhuo arrived in Luoyang, he was arrogant and unscrupulous. Many former taxis were arrogant and unwilling to go with Dong Zhuo, which was also a kind of silent struggle. Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo not only has good face, but also has some vassal elegance. He always likes to compare with these self-respecting figures. He must have a high status as a Han scholar. Even if a person is an emperor like Liu Bang, if there is no group of scholars around, he will feel beautiful and face. What's more, it's Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo's power is unmatched, Dong Zhuo hopes to be recognized and even praised by the scholars. Unfortunately, the real famous scholars in the court do not give face to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo had no choice but to order that all Dong Zhuo's banquet must come in person, otherwise he would not give him face to Dong Zhuo and look down on Dong Zhuo. That's how the situation improved. Although most officials cherish their reputation, they cherish their lives more and are unwilling to compete with Dong Zhuo. So a lot of people came to Dong Zhuo's banquet this time.
"General Lv Bu, come on, I, Hua Xiong, give you a toast to celebrate your killing of Beigong Boyu and your great achievements." Hua Xiong held a big bowl, grabbed a wine jar, and came to Lv Bu and said.
"Hahaha, thank you, General Huaxiong. Although Beigong Boyu didn't die in my hands, it was also a good thing that he died. We had to die for him." Although Han Sui and Ma Teng gave Lv Bu the head of Beigong Boyu, Lv Bu did not use this reward. In contrast, Lv Bu did not want others to feel that he was a greedy villain.
"General Lv Bu, it's a great achievement to kill Beigong Boyu. General Lv Bu can give away for nothing like this. It can be seen that the general is frank. I, Hua Xiong, give you a toast." Hua Xiong was really surprised to see that Lv Bu killed Boyu in the North Palace. He was really surprised, but Lv Bu must have killed his adoptive father Ding Yuan, so Hua Xiong's words were a little counterproductive.
"General Huaxiong has been galloping in Xiliang for many years. If it hadn't been Lv Bu in Fufeng, but General Huaxiong at that time, he might have really killed Beigong Boyu." Lv Bu didn't mind Hua Xiong's insincere words, but complimented Hua Xiong.
"Hahaha, General Lu Bu is flattered. But General Lv Bu really knows me, Hua Xiong. After listening to Lv Bu's compliment, Hua Xiong nodded with a smile. Obviously, he was very confident in his martial arts.
Looking at Hua Xiong's appearance, Lv Bu couldn't help sighing in his heart. He wore thousands of clothes and flattered, and the ancients did not bully me.
"Although General Hua Xiong is good at martial arts, General Lv Bu's martial arts are even more outstanding. Zhang Ji also came to toast General Lv Bu." Looking at Hua Xiong's proud appearance, Zhang Ji squeezed over with some unhapproval and picked up a cup and said.
