Although Liu Hong had seen Dong Zhuo in the court before, where would he pay special attention? When I saw it today, this person had a big waist and a round waist, and he had a bearded beard, quite a bear and a tiger, but he really looked like a hero. Although it was Qiu Ming who mentioned it, the secret edict to Dong Zhuo was ordered by Liu Hong himself, and it seemed to be his own strategy, and in this case, he looked at Dong Zhuo more and more pleasing to the eye.

Liu Hong wanted to pat Dong Zhuo to show encouragement, but he couldn't reach his shoulder. Zhang Rang saw Dong Zhuo standing still stupidly, coughing a few times on the side, Dong Zhuo hurriedly lowered his head and asked Liu Hong to rub it well. Liu Hong was even happier and asked Zhang Rang: "Dong Aiqing has made great contributions to the country loyally, how should I reward him?" ”

Zhang Rang pondered: "Now that the general has not returned from the expedition, there is no seal of the general's mansion, and it is difficult to give a military position, so it is better to award Dong Zhuo as the marquis of Taixiang, and then make new contributions in the future and reward him." ”

Liu Hong said with an unhappy face: "What is the entry again?" Wouldn't I be able to seal a general without his consent? ”

Qiu Ming secretly wondered in his heart, why did Zhang Rang defend Dong Zhuo so much? Do they have a leg? Back then, Dong Zhuo was beaten by Zhang Jiao, but he was only lightly demoted, and many people speculated that it was because he bribed a lot of money to which of the middle attendants, but now it seems to be true.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's happy appearance, Qiu Ming couldn't help but feel a little envious, his subordinates still lacked talents who were well-versed in officialdom, and no one thought of going to the door. But now that he and Zhang Rang have become a fire and water, even if he is willing to give him a gift, I'm afraid that Zhang Rang won't accept it, right?

As if hearing Qiu Ming's inner monologue, Zhang Rang straightened his face: "In this battle, Qiu Ming can personally participate, although he has no military merits, he can be regarded as doing his duty of diligence." I give you a hairpin now, and you will be loyal to the country in the future, and you will not miss the grace of the Son of Heaven. ”

Hairpins? Dong Zhuo didn't hold back for a while, and laughed, but Qiu Ming's face flushed violently, his chest was like a sledgehammer, and almost a mouthful of blood spurted out. In the Han Dynasty, the twentieth rank of the Qin Dynasty was used, and the hairpin was only the third class, while Dong Zhuo's marquis was the nineteenth class, which was a world of difference, no wonder he wanted to laugh out loud.

Zhang Rang still had a straight face: "The thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en, Qiuming, you are still not grateful, is there any dissatisfaction?" As soon as he said this, Liu Hong also turned his face, as if he wanted to vent Fang Cai's dissatisfaction with He Jin on Qiu Ming.

Qiu Ming forcibly suppressed his anger and asked with a breath of anger: "Father-in-law Zhang has never been to the battlefield in person, how do you know that I have no military merits?" ”

Zhang Rang's face was as smelly and hard as a stone in the latrine: "Military merit? How many Heads did you get? ”

Qiu Ming was speechless, in this battle he was driven into the city from Luoshui by the army of the Marquis of Hefei, and he was almost captured, how could he have the opportunity to cut the head? Dong Zhuo stayed to clean up the battlefield, these heads naturally had as many as they wanted, and Dong Fatzi had not done anything in history.

However, in the old system of the Qin and Han dynasties, it was difficult for those without military merit to be knighted, and Zhang Rang's words were not without some truth. Qiu Ming took a deep breath and said: "Then, my strategizing and capturing the flag will not be counted?" ”

Zhang Rang laughed sharply: "Joke, this battle depends on the strategy of the Son of Heaven to have such a big victory, what does it have to do with you?" Capture the flag? Which one do you capture? Which flag was captured? ”

Qiu Ming was furious, and was about to blurt out, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Liu Hongzheng staring at him, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. Although he didn't know why Liu Hong kept the news of the Marquis of Hefei secret, he also knew that since the Son of Heaven wanted to hide it, if he poked the matter out, it would be completely self-defeating.

Seeing that Qiu Ming did not continue to argue, Liu Hong's face finally softened, and he said impatiently: "Qiu Ming, your loyalty to me, I see it in my eyes, but this time you really did not make any military achievements, so you can only wait for the next time to be knighted." ”

Tyuming hadn't come out of the Taimiao yet, and the news that he had just got a hairpin had spread far and wide, and it was a joke in the city. Yesterday, the Qiufu was still in full swing, and many people who didn't line up were still waiting to work hard to tie up Qiuming today, when the news came, those people immediately turned around and left, and the gift boxes that had been about to be delivered to the door were all carried back, which made Wei Yan roll his eyes a few times.

As soon as Tyumen returned to the mansion, he immediately summoned everyone to the study for a meeting to discuss the next move. Wei Yan immediately said: "This time I came to Luoyang mainly to deal with the Hou of Hefei, and now that the Hou of Hefei has been captured, what are we going to do here?" The people here are not very good to us, so let's go back to Dengzhou as soon as possible. ”

Since receiving Zhang Zhi's letter, Guoyuan seems to have recognized the situation and knows that the anti-poetry incident will not have a big impact on Tyumen, so he has also become a little active in the past two days. He said: "Although the Marquis of Hefei was captured, he was not killed, I don't know when he will make a comeback, so don't take it lightly." ”

Cheng Yu nodded and said: "Yes, since the rebellion of the Marquis of Hefei has been concealed, then he is still the royal brother of the Son of Heaven, the virtuous marquis in the eyes of the people, and he may gain power again at any time." We have offended him to death, and we must not let him raise his head again, otherwise the whole line of Dengzhou will die without a place to be buried. ”

Qiu Ming thought for a while and said: "Now that the Marquis of Hefei is locked up in the palace, I don't know what the Son of Heaven is planning, and I am afraid that I can't get him." ”

Tian Feng said with a smile: "The county knows why the Son of Heaven only gave you a hairpin?" ”

Qiu Ming was surprised: "I don't know, do you know?" ”

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu looked at each other and smiled: "Zheng Boke Duan Yu Yan, Gongzi Feng didn't bring Uncle Duan back to Uncle Zheng." If you kill the Marquis of Hefei on the battlefield, the Son of Heaven may be angry, or he may cry, but he will definitely not be at a loss as he is now, and he can't kill him, or even mention it. In that case, the county lord should be no less than the five doctors. ”

Qiu Ming suddenly realized: "I see, I happen to have some reasons to enter and exit the palace gate at will now, why don't I sneak into the palace and assassinate him, how about it?" ”

Tian Feng shouted at the same time: "Don't do it, the palace kills people and damages the royal face, and the Son of Heaven will not give up." After thinking about it, he added: "And Zhang Rang has a huge influence in the palace, so I am afraid that he will suffer if it does not work." ”

Qiu Ming nodded and didn't speak, but Dian Wei glared at Zhou Tai and said: "It's all Youping and troublesome, at that time, I just pressed that guy into Luoshui and drowned, what did I have to do if I was captured alive?" Zhou Tai wanted to refute, but was pulled by Li Jin, so he stopped making a sound.
