140. King of Chengyang

Recently, the number of fights and fights in the Red Eyebrow Military Camp has increased rapidly, and several bloodshed incidents have occurred in succession. The most serious incident occurred between the Langjia Camp and Jiangyang Camp. A large-scale fight of hundreds of people broke out in the two battalions, killing and injuring a total of 26 people.

If such an incident occurs in the camp, it will usually be handled internally by the generals and lieutenants of the camp. If it is a cross-battle fight, it will be handled by Xu Xuan and other leaders as usual.

However, from Fan Chong, Xu Xuan and others to the generals and lieutenants of the battalions, they have now become important officials of the court and upstarts in Chang'an. The emperor gave them houses and money and moved them into the city to be pampered. They only care about their own happiness, but they threw a group of big-headed soldiers outside the city. The already extensive military camp management became increasingly rough.

When the soldiers of each battalion first broke into Chang'an City, they rushed to go to the city to watch the fun. Some people still had the intention to see if they could do some good deeds and make some money by robbing. Unexpectedly, tens of thousands of Yulin soldiers kept the huge Chang'an City tightly. Many soldiers who were lucky enough to test the law with their own luck suffered, and were slightly beaten and even lost their lives.

In the days when the city was broken, hundreds of soldiers were beaten by Chang'an City every day, and ten or eight out of ten or eight out of them were beheaded every day. At this time, the various government offices were not complete and did not go through trial procedures. Wherever there was a loot, they would be dealt with on the spot, and they would be pressed down and beaten the military sticks directly. The murder case was slightly more formal, and the Yulin Military Captain who was responsible for public security on the same day was approved and the criminals were killed on the spot.

After a while of fighting and killing, everyone knew that His Majesty the Emperor was not talking about it, but was serious and could not do anything wrong in the city.

After a few days of freshness, the excitement of Chang'an City was almost done. The soldiers were idle. As the saying goes, they would cause trouble when they were idle, and they could not cause trouble in the city. They could only make trouble in the camp, so the already scattered military camp became even more chaotic.

Seeing the chaotic scene in the military camp, Fan Chong ordered the strengthening of the management of the battalions outside the city, with the general and the captain taking turns to be on duty. Every day, one person must be guaranteed to be in the camp to suppress these restless soldiers.

So the situation in the camp improved slightly, but it still couldn't suppress the soldiers' turmoil.

At the moment when Fan Chong was at a loss, His Majesty the Emperor's will came.

The emperor ordered that football be carried out in each battalion, and each battalion should form a football team, first train on its own, and then prepare to participate in the Dahan Football Super League, referred to as "Han Chao".

After the order came, all battalions became lively, and countless people signed up for the team. Some were originally Cuju masters, while others were tall and strong, and they all felt that they were good.

However, a team only needs more than twenty people, and the number of applicants has exceeded the number of applicants. Therefore, each battalion formed several teams to first play internal competitions and select outstanding players from them.

A vigorous football sport was launched in a camp of hundreds of thousands of people.

Those idle people had something to do, either playing football or watching football, and were busy every day.

The teams in each battalion were finally established, with uneven levels. No one expected to be embarrassed to lose in the Han Super League and was eager to improve their football level, so they rushed to hire high-level coaches.

These coaches are usually from the Yulin Army.

Many of the players in the former Wulin League were upgraded to coaches and were invited by various battalions to train the team. The emperor was happy to see that he was successful and not only gave each team a coach, but also a coaching team, coach, assistant coach, and physical coach.

The most concerned about the Han Super League is the Guards' Battalion. Since Zhuge Zhi lost to the Yulin team last time, he has learned his lessons and decided to avenge his shame. He vigorously carried out football in the camp. The Guards' team has more than 10,000 people, formed eight teams and played the internal league in Weiyang Palace.

The Guards Camp was originally responsible for guarding the Weiyang Palace. In addition to the surviving palaces, there were burnt bricks and rubbles. The soldiers of the camp had nothing to do and were so idle that they cleaned up the ruined Weiyang Palace and leveled out two stadiums in total. The young men in the camp ran on the court every day, venting their excess energy.

Zhuge Zhi believed that the Guards Camp would definitely achieve excellent results in the Han Super League, and it was a shame that Yixue was crazy about being tortured by the Yulin team before.

There must be gambling when there is a game, and the gamblers are eager to try it out. The Iron Giant in Langyan Camp was the happiest. He had made a fortune because of betting on football. Because the Yulin Army entered the city and could not see the Badminton Super League in the barracks, he had to go to the corner to get the ball again. However, the Iron Giant's luck was always so bad on the corner to get the ball. After a few games, almost 100,000 yuan of gambling was gone. I heard that the Han Super League was preparing, so the Iron Giant quickly held his wallet tightly so that he would not even lose his capital when the game started.

This time the football craze is even better than in Gaoling, because now each battalion has its own team and the soldiers have their own teams, which makes them feel more involved than just looking at the Yulin Army teams.

If someone is unhappy because the Han Super League is coming, probably only the dealer Lao Shen who has arrived in the corner will be the first to play. Lao Shen lost a lot of money in the game between Yulin and the Guards, and finally recovered from the outside of Chang'an City. However, Han Chao is coming again and the business is gone, so Lao Shen is in tears.

There was a saying circulating in the camp: "Football is coming, Han Chao is here, Old Shen is crying, Old Tie laughs."

Wu Yuan was shocked by His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty learned that the soldiers in the battalion had neither suppressed nor severely cracked down. He only organized a Han Super League, which attracted the attention of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Not only did the order in the battalion improve greatly, but even Chang'an City was much more stable, and the number of soldiers entering the city was significantly reduced, and the number of robbery and murders plummeted.

His Majesty the Emperor felt that when Nulu and Han Chao were both established, not only would the order in the city be better, but his inner treasury would be filled with it.

During this time, His Majesty was worried about the soldiers and the people. Because he was too busy, he had to increase his sleep time and increase his diet to make up for it. This made him look red and even gained weight recently.

The great Emperor of Han was omnipotent, and both the people and soldiers were all affected by rain and dew.

Your Majesty thought of his heroes, the Red Eyebrow Generals who had been struggling for many years, who fought south and north and made great contributions to the Han regime, and it was time to experience His Majesty's grace.

After entering Chang'an, the emperor's bird gun changed to cannons, and his value doubled. His subordinates should also improve their status and enjoy the dividends of supporting His Majesty the Emperor and entering the great capital.

The matter of title is imperative.

On this day, Emperor Xuan summoned Fan Chong, Xu Xuan and others into the palace. Fan Chong said to Xu Xuan: "I always have to summon them to the palace to discuss matters. I will discuss them for a long time with those nerds. It's because I'm illiterate, can I understand? I won't go! You'll say I'm sick!"

Xu Xuan had no choice but to go with Yang Yin.

Now is the time to be in trouble, and there are many things. The emperor almost every day he summoned five leaders to the palace to discuss matters, all political affairs involved in all aspects of the new regime. How could he understand these uneducated mud legs? He just sat there and listened to the Confucian scholars talking.

What's even more uncomfortable is that you must maintain your manners in front of the emperor, otherwise it would be a mistake. Once, when discussing matters, Yang An tilted his body and dozed off. The Confucian scholars accused him of losing his manners in front of the emperor on the spot. Yang An was so angry that he immediately said that he would not come to discuss matters again.

The emperor did not blame him, but laughed and said, "I'm not afraid of death soon, are you still afraid of discussing politics?" Then he approved that he would not have to participate in the discussion.

When Rong Anru received an amnesty, she breathed a sigh of relief. Xie Lu immediately followed suit and asked for exemption from the errand.

Now it's Fan Chong's turn. Although he has not requested to be exempted from this job, he often refuses to go to the hospital. It can be said that Fan Chong's illness that has been born in more than 40 years is not as good as that in this half month.

Sometimes Xu Xuan suspected that the emperor had deliberately used these tedious political affairs to bother these ignorant big brothers and let them consciously withdraw from the center of power.

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty pulled Yang Yin, a farmer who was familiar with the words, and stood firm among the parties involved, desperately seizing the power that gradually slipped away from his hands.

There are very few people discussing matters today, only the Minister Yang Yanshou. Now Yang Yanshou has almost become the emperor's personal secretary, and has participated in many confidential matters. The Holy Family Youlong is a great celebrity in the court.

Xu Xuan and Yang Yin bowed, and the emperor said, "Prime Minister, Grand Secretary, I and Shi Yuan are discussing the title of title. You are here to advise."

Yang Yanshou handed Xu Xuan a list of books. Xu Xuan took it and saw that the first one was Liu Gong, which read "King Chengyang" on it and a line of small words below: "Three counties, 38,000 households".

Xu Xuan said in surprise: "I just checked my household registration a few days ago. There are four state-owned counties in Chengyang, with more than 50,000 households, why is there only 30,000?"

The emperor said: "Brother said that the ancestors had the credit for killing the Lü and abide by the world, so they were able to seal the King of Chengyang. However, he did not make any contribution to the country and dared not compete with his ancestors."

Liu Yu became the emperor under the banner of restoring the Han Dynasty. According to etiquette, he inherited the ancestral temples of the former Han Dynasty. The King of Chengyang Liu Zhang could only be inherited by Liu Gong. Liu Yu wanted to confer his title in the hometown of his ancestors and succeed him as the "King of Chengyang". The State of Chengyang is in Qi, and it is a prosperous place. The rich water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, so it is just right for his brother.

Liu Gong was very humble, saying that he had been war-torn for years, the world was poor, and the national treasury was empty, and he was unwilling to expand his fiefdom to occupy the country's taxes. He was also unwilling to accept the title of king because he had no contribution to his death, but was willing to accept his father's title of "Shihou".

Because he is the emperor's elder brother, he should be the first of all kings and princes, and the first to be granted. If he is only a marquis of a county, then there is no way to be granted. Isn't this blocking other people's path to wealth and honor? Liu Gong also knew this truth and had to accept it. However, he proposed to reduce the fiefdom and the number of households could not surpass Fan Chong, the boss of the Red Eyebrow Army. After all, this team was led by Fan Chong, so he should be the first hero.

Liu Yu followed him and cut off a large county from Chengyang Kingdom, leaving only 38,000 households left. Liu Gong agreed.
