But before he could pass by, he saw a familiar figure standing at the end of Imperial Way and outside the Tai'an Hall, looking at him with a smile.
It is Liu Xie!
Lü Bu was quite shocked when he saw this. "Your Majesty is waiting for me outside the palace?"
At this moment, Zhang Liao and others could no longer hide their feelings for Shock. Unlike Lü Bu who had not read many books, they fully understood what Son of Heaven's move meant.
Kong Rong said slowly to Lü Bu: "Duke Wen, Yulin bows his head, Son of Heaven comes out of the palace to greet me. This is an honor that only Grand General Wei Qing has received from me, Great Han."
"Your Majesty is right in front. If Duke Wen doesn't go to see you now, when will you wait?"
Lü Bu Hearing this, the tiger's body suddenly trembled.
His eyes were as big as copper bells!
Is this an honor that only the famous Grand General Wei Qing has received?
Your Majesty actually greeted him with such honor Triumphant Return?
For a moment, Lü Bu's breathing began to become rapid.
He had never been afraid of A Thousand Armies and Ten Thousand Horses, but now his legs couldn't help but start to tremble, as if they were filled with lead, and he could hardly take a step forward even if he stood there for a long time.
This, what an honor and reward this is!
He Lü Bu can actually get the same treatment as Wei Qing, which makes Yulin bow his head and Son of Heaven welcome him!
There was an extraordinarily unreal feeling in his heart, and he even wondered if he was dreaming now!
Zhang Liao on the side saw Lü Bu standing still and couldn't help but became anxious and urged, "General, don't be stunned, you have to make Your Majesty wait for you!"
Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci and others also looked envious.
Which Military Generals doesn't want to receive such an honor?
Yuan Xi is so jealous that his eyes are red. He also wants to get such a favor from Your Majesty. Why not him! He has obviously made great contributions!
"Okay, okay..."
Under the urging of everyone, Lü Bu came back to his senses. He swallowed a sip of saliva, forced himself to calm down, climbed the steps with heavy steps, and walked towards the end of Imperial Way.
There were only about a hundred steps, but in his eyes it was extremely long.
Even if he fought on Battlefield for three days and three nights, he was never afraid, let alone his legs were so weak that he could not lift his feet.
But he only walked halfway up the hundred steps, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't lift them up at all.
How has he ever enjoyed such an honor and experienced such a huge scene!
Son of Heaven's grace and trust not only brought him supreme glory, but also made him feel a mountain-like responsibility and mission.
Liu Xie smiled when he saw this, took the initiative to walk down the steps, came to Lü Bu, and smiled at Civil and Military Court Officials who was following behind him, "My father-in-law seems to be too tired, and he can't even walk up the steps now."
All the ministers burst into good-natured laughter.
Underneath the smile, there is envy that cannot be concealed.
Lü Bu's face flushed with excitement, he knelt down on one knee to Liu Xie, and said in a trembling voice, "I am so virtuous and capable, so that Your Majesty can bestow upon me such grace and honor. I, I am extremely frightened..."
"What are you talking about, my father-in-law?" Liu Xie stretched out his hand to help Lü Bu up, and said with a hearty smile, "This Qing Province's great victory has opened up the communication between Xu Province and Ji Province in one fell swoop. My father-in-law has done a great job, and he naturally deserves my courtesy!"
"I have Duke Wen, just like Emperor Wu, the Filial and Martial has Wei Qing, Huo Qubing!"
Liu Xie can be regarded as learning and applying the words Jia Xu taught him. I have to say that these words are indeed better than the arms.
Lü Bu was so touched by Liu Xie that his heart trembled. He felt his blood boiling all over his body and kowtowed to Liu Xie with tears. "I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"
Compared with Marquis of Changping and Marquis of Champion, he is like a star compared to the bright moon, but Your Majesty has such high hopes for him!
And also gave him the same courtesy as Marquis of Changping!
With such emphasis, even if he is not Grand General, even if his daughter is not Empress, he is still willing to die for Son of Heaven!
Liu Xie once again helped Lü Bu up, wiped his tears with his sleeves, and said with a smile, "Duke Wen is the best general in the world, how can he shed tears so easily? It's not a joke if this is spread out."
Lü Bu nodded heavily and wiped his face randomly.
Liu Xie then looked at Zhang Liao and others behind Lü Bu. Finally, his eyes fell on Yuan Xi, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and praised:
"Thank you for your hard work, my dear."
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, then trembled with excitement!
Coming, coming!
Son of Heaven patted his shoulder, thank you for your hard work!
This is an endorsement from Son of Heaven!
How long, how long!
He finally heard Son of Heaven praise and acknowledge him, and he finally became Son of Heaven's confidant!
Yuan Xi instantly felt that all the suffering and torture he had suffered before was worth it. Like Lü Bu, he knelt down and kowtowed, choking and saying, "Serve Great Han and Your Majesty! Thank you for your hard work!"
Liu Xie nodded, and then praised Zhang Liao, Kong Rong and others one by one before returning to the Tai'an Hall with the ministers.
After Dragon Throne walked up and sat down, Liu Xie said to everyone, "Qing Province has been recovered this time, Ye City is no longer alone."
"Xu Province Qing Province plus Ji Province are three counties that are integrated into each other. I can finally feel a little more at ease and don't have to worry about Yuan Thief coming day and night."
"The victory of this battle is due to the great contributions of all my dear friends."
This time Sima Yi's Strategy, Yuan Xi, and Zhang Liao were implemented, Lü Bu led the troops to attack, Huang Zhong, and Taishi Ci fought. Everyone has a great contribution.
And now is the time to reward according to merit.
Liu Xie has already prepared rewards for everyone.
Promote Yuan Xi to General of Chariots and Cavalry, and Zhang Liao to General Who Pacifies the West.
Promote Sima Yi to Attendant Censor.
Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci also received awards from Noble Rank.
Lü Bu is sealed with Grand Commandant, officially ranked Three Excellencies.
But actually Lü Bu doesn't care about that now.
The favor and honor given to him by Liu Xie today is far more precious than any reward. The position of Grand General will be his sooner or later when he kills Yuan Shao.
Next, Court Assembly and Liu Xie discussed with the ministers the deployment, dispatch and arrangement of the troops in the three counties of Xu Province, Qing Province and Ji Province, and then withdrew from the court.
After Lü Bu retired from the court, he did not leave Imperial Palace directly. He asked Liu Xie for permission to enter Imperial Harem to meet his daughter Lü Lingqi.
At this time, Lü Lingqi was in the Ziyun Palace, learning female red from the second daughter Xiao Qiao. When she saw Lü Bu coming, a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face, and she said, "Father, why are you here?"
"My father just returned home from Triumphant Return today. He went to the palace to accept the reward. I stopped by to see you."
Lü Bu had a kind look on his face and said with a smile.
When the second daughter Xiao Qiao heard that he was Lü Lingqi's father, she quickly stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen Duke Wen!"
Although they are Imperial Consorts, they are only Beauty. In terms of status, how can they compare to Lü Bu who has General of Agile Cavalry plus Duke Wen?
Lü Bu nodded to them in return, then his eyes fell on the needle and thread in Lü Lingqi's hand, and he suddenly became unhappy. "Didn't I ask you to practice martial arts diligently? Why are you learning these useless things? Can you protect Your Majesty?"
"Also, your clothes are too fancy. It's better to dress up like Martial Outfit, which is neat and neat, and can be used for martial arts."
After hearing this, Big Xiao Qiao looked a little strange.
Are you sure this is Imperial Consorts and not the guard?
Lü Lingqi raised his eyebrows and said, "My daughter has not slacked off in martial arts. If the father doesn't believe it, he might as well come and compete with his daughter to see if his father's martial arts has deteriorated!"
"Okay!"
Lü Bu stared and started rolling up his sleeves.
Seeing that the two stubborn father and daughter were about to fight in the palace, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao quickly stepped forward to stop them. At the same time, they persuaded, "Duke Wen, it's not easy for you father and daughter to meet each other, so let's sit down and have a good chat."
After the second daughter's persuasion, Lü Bu and Lü Lingqi gave up their plan to compete and sat down.
Big Xiao Qiao did not stay long at the Ziyun Palace.
Give them the space to chat.
Lü Bu took a sip of the tea on the table and asked Lü Lingqi: "It's been so long since you've been in the palace, Qi'er why aren't you pregnant with Your Majesty's Dragon Heir?"
"Even if you slack off in martial arts, you can't slack off in this aspect. You have to work harder. As a father, you are still waiting to hold Grandson."
Lü Lingqi said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty has been blessed with his daughter many times, but there has been no movement in his stomach."
Why doesn't she want to be pregnant with Son of Heaven Dragon Heir.
I just couldn't get pregnant.
Hearing this, Lü Bu's good mood disappeared, but he also knew that he couldn't force this matter, so he could only ignore it and asked instead, "I heard that Empress returned to the palace?"
Chapter 239 Reorganizing the Embroidered-Clothes Envoys
Lü Bu learned the news about Empress's return to the palace from Zhang Liao. He had not paid attention to this matter before.
Lü Lingqi replied, "I have returned to the palace, but now I am recuperating due to poor health... Why did my father suddenly ask about this?"
"Of course it's to remind you!"
Lü Bu said with a tigerish face, and at the same time began to teach Lü Lingqi: "Your Majesty once promised to be my father, and when the world is unified, I will make you Empress."
"Now Fu Family is also a hero, Your Majesty is not good at Deposition of the Empress. In the future, the contribution of being a father will be greater than that of the Fu Family. When the time comes, Your Majesty will make you his queen, and Fu Family will have nothing to say."
"So you must not be jealous of Empress, scheming in the palace, or causing trouble to Your Majesty."
"You just need to practice martial arts in the palace and work hard to give birth to Dragon Heir. This is more important than anything else. Leave the rest to your father!"
Lü Bu slapped his chest loudly.
Zhang Liao told him that Empress Fu was the biggest threat to Lü Lingqi's ascendancy to the back seat, but he actually didn't take it seriously. Now that the world is uncertain, what can he do if Fu Shi continues to be Empress?
When the world is unified in the future, it will not be based on merit, let alone Your Majesty's commitment to him.
Of course, the most important thing is Dragon Heir!
