Seeing Lin Shan taking the order away with his order, he felt that the ministers who had survived the disaster were sighing again. They were glad that they were only followed by Emperor Xian, so that they could survive safely.

Otherwise, they would probably be part of the group of fellow fighters who reported the guards just now, with unknown numbers of casualties and unknown names.

Over the past year, whether it was a senior official of the court who reached the third public level or the lowest-level minor official of the Sesame without rank, the team that followed Emperor Xian left Chang'an was more than 10,000.

Many of them were the old men who had followed Emperor Xian before they moved the capital from Luoyang. But now looking at the surroundings of the Central Army’s tent, there were less than 300 people in total.

The hearts of the ministers were filled with infinite desolation. Along the way, there were too many officials who died in the chaos. Among the surviving people, anyone could speak out ten or eight out of them.

In such a chaotic period, the level of rank cannot guarantee that a person can live longer than others. Who can guarantee that he will not be the next poor person killed by a sabre, and become a name spoken from others in a nostalgic tone?

Emperor Xian turned his face a little numbly when he was moved by his ministers. Even if the ministers and soldiers died, Emperor Xian, who had become accustomed to such a turbulent life, would not feel any more heartbroken.

On the contrary, the death of the General of the Western Expedition made Emperor Xian’s eyes lit up.

Looking at the majestic Taishi Ci standing in front of him, Emperor Xian smiled in his heart, and he had a new perfect trick. You should know that even characters like Yang Feng could be awarded the second rank, but now Taishi Ci, who seems to be stronger, has nothing to be awarded?

After making up his mind, Emperor Xian, who was in a relaxed mood, immediately announced loudly: "Taishi Ci heard the title! When you rescue the saint and the danger, you have made great contributions. Today, I will specially grant you the title of General of the Western Expedition! The title of Guan Neihou! The fief of 200 households!"

Every time Emperor Xian reported a reward, all the ministers were surprised to open a penny. Compared with what Taishi Ci received, the soldiers who had just promoted all the soldiers to one level were a bit insignificant.

No one knows what Emperor Xian was thinking at this time. Taishi Ci is in Jiangnan and is now just a small cavalry Sima. It would be a huge deal to give such a reward once. In the eyes of those who are interested, the intention of having ulterior motives is a bit too obvious.

Such a reward is already a true honor. It is when Li Jue and others first entered Chang'an, but because their foundation was unstable, they listened to Jia Xu's advice and tried to win over Liu Biao and Yuan Shu's support for the court.

But at that time, both of them had at least a state, and they had powerful figures with 100,000 elite soldiers.

As long as Taishi Ci had a little ambition and took the reward, his official position would still be above his lord Gongsun Ce. With this general's name and official position, he could just find a place to recruit soldiers and horses in the name of Emperor Xian to become a prince.

Zhang Hong, who has always been magnanimous, was also angry: "The emperor is really too much! He has repeatedly provoked troubles on Jiangnan, just to make Jiangnan's lord and subordinates disagree. I really can't tell that he was so sinister at such a young age.

I sent troops and food to him in the south of the Yangtze River, and countless soldiers were injured and killed. Is it because he was so rewarded? He is really as ruthless as an emperor and a prostitute!

However, for Guo Jijiu and the others, your little emperor's methods are too immature. Since I have a way to deal with the slightly centrifugal Xu brothers, I also have a way to deal with any ambitious person who wants to betray Jiangnan! Hum!"

At this moment, Zhang Hong, who had always advocated Jiangnan, was completely disappointed with what the anxious Emperor Xian did. But he was confident and just stood quietly and looked at Taishi Ci with all the ministers.

Zhang Hong also wanted to see how Taishici responded to the emperor's open recruitment for no reason.

Like Liu Bei and the others, what could Taishi Ci, who was surrendered general, be so valued by Sun Ce. Once he arrived in Jiangnan, Sun Ce made him become the cavalry Sima. He and Sun Ce commanded half of the only elite cavalry built by the Jiangnan Army, which was 8,000 yuan in a large amount of money.

You should know that among the Jiangnan Army there are so many generals. No matter how they join the Jiangnan Army, whether they are close, age, or ability, they are not the ones that Taishi Ci will take this important position.

But he became the cavalry Sima and became the second general who had always held the army like Zhou Yu. He had no doubts about this Taishi Ci who had lost his luck, so that Zhang Hong, who was far away in the capital, also heard some rumors.

But Sun Ce just smiled mysteriously and never explained it to these doubtful voices.

Seeing that he became the focus of all the civil and military officials, Taishi Ci, who was very talented, had already understood the scheming of Emperor Xian. He looked at the front with a constant expression, with an inexplicable smile on his face, waiting for him to receive the order to thank the little emperor.

He bowed to the emperor and said, "I will thank the emperor for his reward!"

When you get the result you want, everyone onlookers will breathe a sigh of relief. Thank you for your rewards, which is what everyone should do at this moment. Who can give up such a high-ranking official and generous salary? Unless you are a fool who comes out once a hundred years, you will be so good and bad.

Taishici continued to say calmly: "But! Your Majesty! With the young and wise emperor, he should not be a foolish monarch who does not distinguish between the primary and secondary. The last general only sent troops to protect his lords at the order of the lord. He has no contribution and should not be rewarded with such a heavy reward from the emperor.

I also asked the emperor to take back Cheng’s order and give this reward to my lord! As for the last general’s military merits, the Jiangnan Military Law Department will make arrangements. There is no need to worry about the emperor!”

Taishi Ci actually refused Emperor Xian's recruitment directly, which made the officials' mouths wide open again, shocked.

Everyone on the side of Emperor Xian shook their heads: "What? In this world, who doesn't want the emperor's reward? Too many people can't even ask for it. But it turns out that there are really fools in this world!"

Zhang Hong nodded slightly: "This Taishi Ci is good, very good! She is a man who is loyal and righteous! It is indeed a very important person that the lord values. He does well, better than others! It is not for fame and fortune, but for integrity!

You know, the official position he faces today is different from the bait he used to be with the Xu brothers at the beginning."

Zhang Hong looked at the young Emperor Xian meaningfully with a blue face, and then at the Xu brothers with a very rosy face. A bright smile finally appeared on his face. (To be continued...)
