When Yizhou changed hands, Zhang Yan had already returned to Pengcheng, and when he returned from the southern expedition, the collapse of the Sun group allowed him to reach a new peak again.

Zhang Yan returned triumphantly, the emperor personally led the Chinese military officials of the dynasty to meet outside Pengcheng, the road into the city was covered with a red carpet, from the palace and the palace of King Yan along the main road of Pengcheng to Pengcheng five miles away, both sides were planted with bright flags, and the emperor Liu Feng and the Chinese military officials of the dynasty were waiting here, on both sides of the road stood energetic guards, the guards were all clearly armored, and behind the guards, there were people who came to see the regent, and everyone was waiting eagerly.

Emperor Liu Feng is still a child of a few years, what can he know? The current arrangement was not done by those officials who were loyal to Zhang Yan? These are the empress dowagers who are the adoptive mother of Emperor Liu Feng, but she has become a loner, in addition to this seemingly noble identity of the queen mother, what capital can compete with Zhang Yan?

In the wilderness of the autumn wind, Emperor Liu Feng snuggled in the arms of the Empress Dowager Gongsun, he was so bored that he actually fell asleep, and the Empress Dowager Gongsun stood there listlessly, although she was young and her face was delicate, but she could not see a little bit of vitality from her body.

The Empress Dowager Gongsun is the daughter of the Marquis of Liaodong and the Taishou Gongsun Du of Liaodong, and since she was elected to the palace to give Liu Feng's father, Emperor Liu Xian of the Han Dynasty, as a concubine, she is doomed to loneliness in this life.

At that time, Liu Xie was at a time of internal and external troubles, and he was also at the mercy of the powerful minister Zhang Yan, and he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, and he wanted to find an opportunity to escape from Pengcheng. Break through Zhang Yan's confinement.

And at that time. Along with the Empress Dowager Gongsun, the daughters of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the daughters of other ministers were also selected to be sent to the palace. And the Yuan family was the queen as soon as he entered the palace, and at that time, Yuan Shao was in Hebei, with strong strength, and was the person with the most capital to compete with Zhang Yan for the world, and he was the most powerful person to rescue himself in Liu Xie's eyes.

As soon as the Yuan family entered the palace, they were favored by Liu Xie, and together with the Yuan family, the daughter of Cao Cao, who was a noble concubine, was also favored, because of the father of these two women. They are all potential stocks valued by Liu Xie, and they hope to borrow the fathers of the two of them to rescue themselves, and as for the daughters of the Gongsun family and other ministers, Liu Xie has never seen it, let alone spoiled it.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Gongsun is still a virgin. And the daughters of those ministers, Zhang Yan married them all to some military generals in the court as wives after Liu Xie's death, and only the Empress Dowager Gongsun was left in the huge palace. It was used to appease the Gongsun clan of Liaodong, and it was also under the manipulation of Zhang Yan. Gongsun became the queen mother and became the mother of a country.

Gongsun Clan, who was in the prime of his youth, was also disheartened after the fall of his father and brother's power, and only took care of Emperor Liu Feng, and didn't dare to think about anything else.

Standing behind the Empress Dowager Gongsun, they were Wei General Xu Chu, Jinyi Wei Commander Xu Sheng, Dali Temple Qing Zhang Zhao, Household Department Shangshu Chen Qun, Ministry of Officials Shangshu Yang Biao, Criminal Department Shangshu Sima Zhi, Ministry of Rites Shangshu Bing Yuan, Ministry of Industry Shangshu Hua Xin, Military Department Shangshu Guoyuan, Left and Right Attendant Lang Tianfeng, Fu Zhu, Du Yushi Wang Lang, Deputy Imperial Shi Gu Yong, Left Imperial Shi Dong Zhao, Right Imperial Shi Kong Rong, Yudu Yushi Jiang Ji. For Zhuge Jin, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Sima Lang, Du Ji, Xi Xian, and the rest of the hundred officials are arranged in the back one by one according to the size of their official positions, this kind of lineup is almost the same as the emperor's last court.

In fact, although the regent Zhang Yan is not the emperor, he has real power, better than the emperor, and even more powerful than the emperor.

After the reform of the Han Dynasty, there was a thriving scene, and the emperor was just a symbol, and after the reform of the system, Zhang Yan became the leader of the entire country, and the regent, prime minister, and general held many positions and held great power.

The group stood in the autumn wind for a long time, and at first everyone didn't feel anything, but after a long time, not only did their legs stiffen a little, but even their bodies began to chill, and some even shivered.

However, no one complained at all, and even preferred to be frozen in the cold wind rather than be absent from today's important occasion.

Half an hour later, a Jinyi guard rode a horse and galloped quickly from the official road, and before he stepped on the red carpet, he reined in the horse, jumped off the horse, and then went straight to Xu Sheng, the commander of the Jinyi guard, and whispered a few words.

In this southern expedition, General Wei Xu Chu and Jinyi Wei commanded Xu Sheng were left in Pengcheng to be responsible for the safety of the Pengcheng area, so as not to suffer any damage. And Xu Sheng, the commander of Jinyiwei, is a spy leader at the level of a lieutenant general, and all things are directly responsible to Zhang Yan, and his official position is also unique, not in the existing official position system, let alone subject to any power organs, it can be said that Xu Sheng, as the commander of Jinyiwei, is Zhang Yan's third eye.

Although Xu Sheng has great power, he never abuses his power, and he also obeys Zhang Yan's words, what to do and what not to do, he has his own sense of proportion, and he will definitely not do anything out of the ordinary, so he is also one of Zhang Yan's most trusted people.

After Xu Sheng heard Jinyiwei's report, he immediately waved his hand at Jinyiwei and motioned for Jinyiwei to go down, and then he walked in front of the Empress Dowager Gongsun, and said respectfully: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, the regent's triumphant procession has arrived, and there will be another time for a stick of incense." ”

The Empress Dowager Gongsun held the sleeping Liu Feng in her arms, and after hearing Xu Sheng's report, she whispered "I know", and gently shook Liu Feng awake, and shouted in a low voice: "Your Majesty, wake up...... Wake up, Majesty xià ......"

Liu Feng, who was shaken awake, opened his hazy eyes, closed them again with great reluctance, and then plunged into the arms of the Empress Dowager Gongsun, never complaining about moving away.

The Empress Dowager Gongsun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the regent is here, don't sleep!" ”

As soon as Liu Feng heard this, he immediately woke up, in his heart, the regent was as terrible as a nightmare, a monster that could eat people and not spit out bones.

Of course, this statement was also taught by the Empress Dowager Gongsun, Liu Feng was still young, and he didn't see the regent a few times a year, all the news about the regent was heard from the Empress Dowager Gongsun, but he had never seen it.

The regent came, the emperor Liu Feng also woke up, all the civil and military officials began to rearrange their clothes, and once again regained their spirits, and the bands scattered on both sides of the road also began to play the unique triumphal music of the Han Dynasty.

On the official road, Zhang Yan was wearing gold armor, wearing a golden helmet, riding a sweaty and bloody horse, looking particularly majestic, he walked at the front of the team, followed by the civil and military officials who went out with him, and the Jiaozhou assassin Shixie who came to surrender, and the regent's guards were scattered around to protect the safety of these people.

Zhang Yan's southern expedition was able to pacify the entire Jiangnan, and he was supposed to bring all the generals who participated in the war back to Pengcheng for rewards, but because the conditions did not allow, Zhang Yan had to leave a part of the civil officials and military generals in Jiangnan to maintain stability and peace in the entire Jiangnan region.

In addition, Zhang Yan added some meritorious ministers in advance, such as the hussar general Zhao Yun, the marquis of Liyang County, and the rank of 3,000 households, the rank of general became marshal, responsible for commanding all the soldiers and horses in Yangzhou, and leading the army to garrison Jinling. Che cavalry general Zhang Liao, Jin Feng Yiyang County Marquis, 2,000 households, the rank of general to marshal, responsible for commanding all Jingzhou soldiers and horses, leading the army to garrison Nanjun. The former general Tai Shi Cijin was named the Marquis of Dingyang County, 1,000 households in Shiyi, and returned to the state, responsible for commanding all the soldiers and horses in the state, leading the army to garrison Jinyang, and the left general Xu Huangjin was named the Marquis of Meiyang County, 1,000 households in Shiyi, and was transferred to Yongzhou, responsible for commanding all the soldiers and horses in Yongzhou, and leading the army to garrison Chencang. The right general Gan Ning Jin sealed the Marquis of Chenyang County, with a thousand households in Shiyi, and led the troops and horses of the headquarters to garrison Wuling. Later, the general Zhang Hejin was named the Marquis of Fengyang County, with 1,000 households in Shiyi, responsible for commanding the soldiers and horses in Guangzhou, and leading the army to garrison Cangwu.

Lu Meng, the general of Zhengnan, was transferred to Jiaozhou, not only responsible for commanding all the soldiers and horses in Jiaozhou, but also served as the assassin of Jiaozhou, and led the army to garrison Longbian City.

The Zhenxi general Ma Chao, the Zhennan general Lu Su, the Zhengdong general Zhou Tai, the Anxi general Pang De, the Pingxi general Ma Dai, the Annan general Jiang Qin, and the Pingnan general Li Diannian each increased by 200 stones.

Because of his outstanding merits, Sima Yi, the assassin of Jingzhou, in addition to still serving in the history of Jingzhou assassin, was also promoted to the marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, ate 300 households, and was given the title of guerrilla general.

As for Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, as well as the officers and soldiers of various armies, Zhang Yan gave material rewards according to the size of his merits, and followed him back to the court.

About a stick of incense, Zhang Yan led the soldiers of the southern expedition to triumph finally appeared in front of Emperor Liu Feng and hundreds of civil and military officials, and at this time, Liu Feng became nervous, tightly dragged the hand of the Empress Dowager Gongsun, and asked in a low voice: "Queen Mother, the regent won't eat me, right?" ”

The Empress Dowager Gongsun smiled, gently stroked Liu Feng's head, and said, "Don't worry, with the queen mother here, he won't do anything to you." ”

After saying this, the Empress Dowager Gongsun felt a little lost in her heart, having said that, but if Zhang Yan really wanted to do something to Liu Feng, she couldn't do anything at all, she could only watch.

"The Lord Regent has arrived!"

I don't know who shouted, and all the people became alert, and they all straightened their clothes, ready to wait for the Lord Regent to arrive, and make a great salute.

Zhang Yan rode a high-headed horse, with a beautiful sound in his ears, and in front of him was the welcome of Emperor Liu Feng, the Empress Dowager Gongsun, as well as civil and military officials and ordinary people, this kind of treatment, it is estimated that only he can enjoy it in the whole world, right?

Although it is said that the world has not been completely calmed, sooner or later it will not be able to escape from the palm of his hand, and this small Pengcheng can no longer be used as the capital of a country. The construction of Luoyang City has been completed, and all aspects of the facilities are also available one by one, and the idea of moving the capital has once again surged up in Zhang Yan's heart...... (To be continued......)
