Huangfu Li hung up the seal and left, which did not cause too much turmoil among the officials. Everyone still followed Lu Bu's army and went to Pusaka to meet the Son of Heaven.

A few days later, all the officials arrived in Pusaka, and Chen Xu and the Son of Heaven went out of the city to greet them. When the officials saw the Son of Heaven, they all hugged their heads and cried, and they stopped after a long time.

In the past few days, Lu Bu has not treated the officials badly, and has provided them with sufficient food and clothing. Therefore, these people are far less depressed than they were in Chang'an.

Even though they had traveled a long way, their faces were tired, and their complexions were still much better.

Chen Xu set up a banquet to wash the dust for hundreds of officials, and in the middle of the banquet, Sikong Zhang Xi said to Chen Xu: "The general of Zhengbei came to the rescue from thousands of miles away, and he is really the minister of Sheji." It's just that Kasaka is broken, how can it accommodate the holy car here? ”

"I also hope that the general can escort His Majesty to the eastern capital Luoyang as soon as possible."

The rest of the officials also echoed their words.

Chen Xu took a drink of himself, and then said: "Your Majesty and you are eager to return to Luoyang, how can Xu not know?" However, Luoyang was burned by Dong thieves and had become dilapidated. ”

Then, Luoyang experienced repeated wars, and nine out of ten people fled. In such a Luoyang, how can it accommodate the holy driver? ”

When Sun Rui, the guard soldier, heard Chen Xu's words, he changed color: "Even if Luoyang is dilapidated, it is still the capital of the Han Dynasty, how can it not accommodate the holy car?" You push three times and block four, do you want to learn from Dong thief and kidnap the Son of Heaven? ”

As soon as Shi Sun Rui's voice fell, the whole hall was shocked, and Chen Xu's face was also gloomy.

He held back his anger and said, "It's not that Xu is unwilling to send His Majesty back to Luoyang, but Luoyang is dilapidated and the road is far away. Now that there is a famine in Guanzhong, it is not easy to transport grain and grass from Bingzhou. ”

"If Your Majesty and you return to Luoyang, I am afraid that the manpower and material resources consumed in order to transport grain and grass every day are a huge number, and I ask Wei Wei to be considerate of our difficulties."

Before Shi Sun Rui could speak, the servant Han Rong sneered twice and said, "You didn't receive an edict from the imperial court, and you dared to enter the customs without permission, which is a great crime. Now escorting His Majesty to Luoyang is a good time for you to atone for your sins. ”

Dian Wei, who had drunk a lot of wine, heard Han Rong's words, and immediately overturned the table, pointed at Han Rong and scolded: "Old horseman, if it weren't for us risking death to come to the rescue, we would all starve to death in Chang'an, and the corpses would turn into dung heaps." ”

"The old man is not grateful, but wants to cure my lord's sin."

"If you dare to make a second time, the Lord knows you, but my Dian Wei's fist doesn't know you!"

was pointed at by Dian Wei and scolded by the 'old horseman' one after another, Han Rong suddenly became furious. He is a servant of the court, and his status is extremely noble, when did he receive such a ****?

Han Rong immediately stood up, pointed at Dian Wei and scolded: "Here are all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the pillars of the country, how can there be a place for you, a humble and reckless man, to speak?" Even if you lord Chen Xu, you don't dare to be so presumptuous, why don't you get out of here quickly? ”

Dian Wei was scolded, his eyes suddenly turned red, he stood up, and was about to step forward to hit Han Rong. But he didn't want to, so he was hugged by Zhao Yun on the side.

"Kunisuke, don't be impatient!"

Chen Xu's face was even more gloomy, and he shouted at Dian Wei: "Hugh is presumptuous!" ”

Although Chen Xu shouted at Dian Wei, his gaze glanced at Han Rong from time to time, and there was a wisp of murderous intent in his eyes.

Seeing this, Han Rong was shocked. He snorted coldly and knelt in front of the desk, deliberately showing a look of disdain.

Although Dian Wei was annoyed, he didn't dare to act rashly because of Chen Xu's words, so he had to look at Han Rong with red eyes. Not only Dian Wei, but even Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others were also angry.

On the contrary, Tian Feng, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and Li Ru, these strategists, shrugged their eyes and knelt next to the desk, motionless, as if they hadn't heard Han Rong's words.

Just yesterday, Li Ru, Cheng Yu and the rest of the generals of Bingzhou also rushed to Pusaka with their soldiers.

This banquet was attended by all the civil and military forces in the state. Not only them, but even Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, who were new to Chen Xu, were also in the banquet.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Sikong Zhang Xi hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "Now is the banquet, let's not talk about state affairs!" ”

Liu Xie also hurriedly said: "Although the champion Hou entered the customs without an edict, it was a great achievement for him to kill the rebels Li Dao and Guo Yan, rescue hundreds of officials, and come to protect King Qin. ”

"Champion Hou's loyalty to the Han is visible to the sky, and you Aiqing Hugh wants to talk about this matter again!"

Liu Xie didn't want the Manchu Dynasty to anger Chen Xu. After all, now they are all in Chen Xu's hands, and all kinds of money and food supplies also depend on Chen Xu.

Now that there is a famine in Guanzhong, if there is no Chen Xu to take care of it, I am afraid that the Manchu Dynasty ministers will not know how many people will starve to death.

Chen Xu held back his anger, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the Son of Heaven. He snorted coldly, did not speak, and continued to drink.

Originally, things have come to this point, even if both parties are unhappy, they will not completely fall out.

But he didn't want to, Han Rong suddenly muttered again: "An anti-thief and a coward, thanks to the favor of the Son of Heaven, this is the only way to recruit peace." I never thought that I would be so high-flying. ”

Although Han Rong's voice was not loud, many people still heard his words. For a while, the entire banquet suddenly fell completely silent.

All the officials set their eyes on Chen Xu, lest he be angry and kill; The generals of the state were all angry, staring at Han Rong.

"Hehe......"

At this time, Chen Xu put away the anger in his heart.

He chuckled twice, his right hand gently shaking the glass, and the wine kept turning in the glass, forming a small whirlpool.

No one spoke or made a noise during the whole feast. Only Chen Xu's laughter echoed in the room, which looked particularly weird.

Chen Xu's gaze wandered around the room unconsciously, and then glanced lightly at Fan Chou in the corner.

Fan Chou also kept watching Chen Xu's movements. After he saw Chen Xu's gaze, he suddenly felt happy in his heart.

Originally, he was ready to bring his soldiers and horses to Chen Xu. In this way, he also has the ability to bargain with Chen Xu.

However, the ambush of Li Dao and Guo Yan almost killed and wounded his soldiers and horses. Now even if he defects to the state, he is still a dispensable character.

Because of this, Fan Chou has been depressed and uneasy in his heart. However, Chen Xu's gaze was an opportunity for him to see that he was being reused.

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Fan Chou suddenly stood up and strode towards Han Rong. Before Han Rong could react, he was knocked to the ground by Fan Chou's punch.

Han Rong was suddenly attacked, and he was stunned all of a sudden. It wasn't until Fan Chou raised his right foot and was about to kick him that Han Rong reacted.

"What a thief, in front of the Son of Heaven, you dare to openly attack the court officials, you want to rebel?"

Fan Chou didn't seem to hear Han Rong's words, and kicked Han Rong in the face. Fortunately, Fan Chou didn't use much force, just kicked Han Rong into disgrace, but did not hurt his life.

"Champion Hou is dedicated to the country, and you have repeatedly made difficult statements. The champion can tolerate you, but I, Fan Chou, can't tolerate you. ”

After speaking, he grabbed Han Rong's collar, lifted him up, and gave Han Rong a left hook.

When Fan Chou had just knocked over Han Rong, Zhao Yun wanted to go and stop him. But when he saw Chen Xu, who was sitting next to the desk and didn't say a word, he sighed secretly in his heart and didn't get up.

The rest of the generals of the state have long looked at Han Rong unpleasantly. At this time, seeing Fan Chou beating Han Rong violently, he suddenly felt happy in his heart, how could he go to stop him?

Fan Chou seized Chang'an at the beginning, and did no less evil than Li Dao and Guo Yan. Even if he is not in power now, the officials of the court are still afraid of him.

Seeing that Fan Chou was reckless, no one dared to step forward to stop him for a while.

Seeing that Han Rong had already received a few punches, Zhu Jun finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Stop!" ”

After speaking, he pounced and wanted to save Han Rong.

Zhu Jun used to be in the army, and he was preparing to raise the righteous army to crusade against Li Dao and Guo Yan. But in the name of the Son of Heaven, the two issued an edict to Zhu Jun and summoned him to Chang'an.

Zhu Jun was unwilling to disobey the edict, so he went to Chang'an alone, and was later named a lieutenant and received a record of Shangshu. After a year, his position was replaced by Yang Biao, and Zhu Jun served as the chief farmer.

Although Dasi Nong is in charge of the national warehouse, and advises the officials of agriculture and mulberry. However, after all, Zhu Jun was born as a military general and has extraordinary skills.

Caught off guard, he actually snatched back Han Rong from Fan Chou's hands.

When Fan Chou was in power, Zhu Jun was still not afraid of him, let alone now?

I saw Zhu Junhu's eyes wide, and he shouted: "When Fan Chou was in Chang'an in the past, he was in cahoots with Li Dao and Guo Yan, and I don't know how many evil things he did. ”

"Now not only do you not repent, but you have intensified your efforts and openly beaten the minister, which is simply a crime that cannot be punished!"

With Zhu Jun at the beginning, the rest of the officials naturally spoke out one after another. For a time, the sound of the crusade against Fan Chou filled the entire hall.

Ignoring the Manchu Dynasty's crusade against Fan Chou, Chen Xu just held his wine glass and didn't say a word.

Suddenly, Taiwei Yang Biao walked over to Chen Xu and said to him: "Fan Chou, this person, first served under the tent of Dong Thief, and then bullied hundreds of officials with Li Dao and Guo Yan, and now he is openly beating the minister. ”

"The evil deeds of this person are simply hard to write, doesn't the general punish this person?"

Chen Xu smiled and said: "In the main hall, there are countless people who are higher than my official position, if you convict General You, I'm afraid it will not be my turn to be a small general of Zhengbei." ”

Yang Biao was said by Chen Xu like this, and he was speechless for a while. He just glanced at Chen Xu deeply, and then turned to leave.

In the main hall, it became more and more chaotic, and hundreds of officials in the court rolled up their sleeves one after another, wanting to arrest Fan Chou. However, Fan Chou was extremely brave, and several officials were knocked to the ground by him.

Fortunately, Fan Chou's action was a little measured, so he didn't cause any death.
