Chapter six hundred and sixty-ninth bloody righteous
After hearing Deng Zhan's words, Liu He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Deng Zhan, you, you are all for me. If it is said that it is me who is guilty, you don't need to carry such a burden. Besides, the enthronement has nothing to do with these, right? If it is impossible to enthrone the title just because of this, then how many of me, the 106 generals, cannot be enthroned? The dead are gone. Although those poor people have passed away, I will order people to find out their identities one by one and give their families a generous pension, which is worthy of them. At the same time, you have made great contributions to me and accepting rewards is a matter of course. There is no need to do this."
However, Deng Zhan said softly: "Even if they give them more pensions, they will not be able to survive."
Liu He was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt that what Deng Zhan said made sense. Even if he could speak eloquently, he would have nothing to say for a moment.
Then Deng Zhan said, "What's more, Your Majesty doesn't have to take responsibility for this. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's entirely the choice of the general. Is this the biggest reason why the general refuses to enthrone. The biggest reason is that the general killer is unknown. Regardless of whether your Majesty believes it or not, the general cannot bring disaster to Your Majesty."
"Renkill? How can you use such words?" This time, Liu He stood up in surprise and murmured.
However, Deng Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "This is the fact. Your Majesty, you don't know the situation. Although the fire was released by General Zhou, the fire did not spread quickly. If you have all your strength to rescue them, you will definitely be able to rescue them all. However, Mo Jiang sat down and watched the fire spread step by step, and even let all the small boats behind the big ship go away. This led to Emperor Xiaoxian being unable to escape and eventually died of the fire. In this way, what is the difference between Emperor Xiaoxian and Mo Jiang killing? Although Mo Jiang
He blamed Cao Pi for the crime of regicide, but Mo Jiang himself was condemned by his conscience and would not stop for a day. Although Emperor Xiaoxian was incompetent, he was dedicated to His Majesty after all. After all, His Majesty inherited his foundation. In this case, Mo Jiang would be grateful if he was not punished, let alone being enthroned by His Majesty again? Please don’t let Mo Jiang make things difficult for him anymore, so that Mo Jiang may feel a little better in his heart."
"Oh, Deng Zhan, although your hands are stained with blood, you can definitely be considered a righteous man. Since you are unwilling to accept the enthronement, I will not force you. But I know that the reason you did this is for me. I will guarantee you that I will never forget the contribution you have made. I will let you and your descendants enjoy wealth and glory forever. Deng Zhan heard the title of the title of Deng Zhan in Nanyang, and was assigned by me to go to Cao's camp, endured humiliation and rescued Xun Yu, Zang Ba, Le Jin and others, and introduced the jade seal and presented the imperial edict of the late emperor. He made great contributions. He specially appointed you as the founding Marquis of Wan, who was hereditary, and was given the second-rank treatment. I admire this."
"This, this, Your Majesty's reward is too heavy!" Deng Zhan was shocked when he heard Liu He's reward and said quickly.
Because after Liu He ascended the throne, although the system of scattered officials was established, the previous appointment of the scattered officials was only a second-rank Guanglu doctor, and Deng Zhan was directly appointed as the second-rank specialist. This is the first in history. How could Deng Zhan not be surprised?
However, Liu He said: "You endured humiliation for me, and even suffered on my behalf, and did not hesitate to bear all kinds of guilt. With your friendship, even if you add such a seal, I still feel a little insufficient. Don't refuse, otherwise I will feel even more uncomfortable."
"I thank you for your kindness!" Deng Zhan knew that this was Liu He's compensation for the failure to enthronement. He really could not refuse, otherwise it would make the other party feel uncomfortable, so he could only accept it helplessly and thank Liu He for his grace.
After Deng Zhan left, Liu He looked at his back and sighed a lot in his heart: "This is indeed a righteous man. Although the 'evil' he did is really insignificant to some people, and he did not kill those people directly, he still blamed himself deeply for it. Relatively speaking, Cao Pi still did not take such a vicious order from the family, which was really hateful. Thinking about it this way, it was also retribution for his entire Cao family to be killed!"
Although Liu He gave enough compensation, he felt uncomfortable after all. Moreover, Deng Zhan refused to be enthroned. Liu He didn't know when he would meet the next one who could be enthroned, so he felt very depressed.
"Now that I have become the emperor of this empire, and there are probably many under my command who are qualified to be enthroned. If you have any chance in the future, take your time."
Although he was depressed, Liu He also felt a little relieved at the same time. This was because he still had a vague concern about collecting the 108 generals. Now Deng Zhan refused to accept the licensing, which means that he would likely be unable to enthrone the 108 generals for a long time. In this way, he would be more prepared to deal with unknown challenges.
However, things were destined not to be that simple, because five months after Liu He became emperor, that is, at the end of the year, the soldiers of Yizhou who were originally under Lu Bu returned to Chang'an after changing defenses.
It turned out that after Lu Bu surrendered, he personally went to Yizhou and asked the soldiers under him that he had been recruited by the court. He also handed over Yizhou to the emperor of the Han Dynasty for jurisdiction. He also said that he had new appointments. Lu Bu also proposed that the soldiers choose to stay or leave.
In fact, at this time, Chen Gong had already disclosed the news to the soldiers in the army. As expected, almost all the soldiers were willing to accept surrender and continued to serve in the army. Only a few soldiers who made their families in Yizhou expressed their willingness to continue to guard Yizhou.
A month later, the Grand Governor of Yangzhou Zhou Yu led his army to take over Yizhou. Most of the soldiers in Lu Bu's army took a ship provided by Zhou Yu to cross the sea to Da6, and then went to Chang'an to meet Liu He.
Therefore, this time, the civil and military generals under Lu Bu were among the military commanders of Lu Bu, including military advisor Chen Gong, generals Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others.
Liu He had long heard of the names of these generals under Lu Bu and knew that these people were always accustomed to fighting, especially proficient in cavalry tactics, which made them command the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, and Youyan Iron Cavalry, all of whom became the three elite cavalrymen in the world.
