Chapter 332

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"Your Majesty, it was my poor arrangement, it was my fault." Zhang Rang walked toward Liu Hong, admitting his mistake with every word.

At this time, Liu Hong also recovered from the shock.

Duan Yu also understood that this was just a play.

A play that Liu Hong hadn't finished acting yet.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Liu Hong waved his hand and sat on a Hu chair in the courtyard.

Even with a smile on his face, he said: "Duan, my dear official, was also protecting me."

"Duan, my dear official." Liu Hong greeted with a smile.

Duan Yu put down the straight blade in his hand, then turned and bowed: "Subject Duan Yu, greets Your Majesty."

Liu Hong looked Duan Yu up and down with satisfaction, then said with a smile: "Hmm, not bad, not bad."

"Worthy of being a tiger general of the Great Han."

"Duan, my dear official, don't mind it, this was all my arrangement."

"Duan, my dear official, was just eager to protect me."

Zhang Rang, who was standing on the side with his back bowed, also smiled and said: "Isn't that so, Your Majesty, County Captain Duan is loyal to the monarch and loves the country, seeing Your Majesty suffer an assassination and remaining calm, this is a loyal official and good general of Your Majesty."

Liu Hong smiled and nodded in agreement.

Then he waved his hand casually and said: "Father, clean up these people first."

Zhang Rang nodded, then said to the little eunuchs standing in the courtyard: "Clean everything up here and restore it to its original state."

Liu Hong didn't pay attention to the little eunuchs who died, but waved to Duan Yu.

"Duan, my dear official, you are very good, I am very satisfied."

"You can protect me like this, proving that you are a good official, I am missing a good official like you by my side."

"Missing a fierce general like you."

"I know about your battle with the Xiongnu in Monan and shooting the Xianbei Chanyu, I am very happy."

"I have decided to appoint you as the General of the Middle Army for the Xiongnu, bestow upon you the title of Marquis of Du Pavilion, and the fief of Guoting." Liu Hong looked at Duan Yu with a smile.

General of the Middle Army for the Xiongnu!

Marquis of Guoting!

Just as Zuo Feng said.

Zhang Rang stood on the side with his back bowed and said with a smile: "General Duan, why don't you thank Your Majesty."

County Captain Duan has become General Duan.

The Han dynasty follows the system of the Three Excellencies and Nine Ministers.

Among the Three Excellencies, the Grand Marshal is the highest military position, in charge of military affairs, preparing for the emperor's consultation, but does not have the power to command the army.

Below the Grand Marshal are the generals.

But the position of general is not permanent except during wartime, and there is no power to command troops.

Only during wartime is the position of general set up, and the position is removed after the war.

Usually, those who command troops are mostly Colonels and Generals of the Middle Army.

The five schools of the North Army all have Colonels commanding troops.

The three armies of the capital Luoyang are the Yulin Guard, the Huben Army, and the North Army.

The Yulin Guard has the General of the Middle Army of Yulin as its highest commander.

The Huben Army has the General of the Middle Army of Huben as its highest commander.

It is different from the General of the Middle Army for the Xiongnu and the General of the Middle Army of the Xiongnu that Duan Yu was appointed to.

Just because there is an "envoy" for "envoy" in front of the name.

General of the Middle Army for the Xiongnu, equivalent to two thousand shi, holding a tally.

Has the duties of holding a tally to go on a mission, supervising, and protecting the Southern Xiongnu, and is also responsible for "participating in lawsuits," "observing movements," etc., regarding the Xiongnu.

The General of the Middle Army for the Xiongnu holds a tally, which is different from the Prefect and the Son of Heaven splitting the tally, it is holding a tally to go on a mission, with a certain temporary nature and greater independence.

As for why this envoy is brought.

Duan Yu can also guess a general idea.

Now the sons of the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Qiangqu, Yufuluo and Huchuquan, are still in his hands.

Since these two are not killed, they must be sent back.

Of course, it is impossible to send them back for free.

The Xiongnu must pay a certain price.

This price is likely to be cattle, sheep, and horses.

Since Liu Hong gave him such a General of the Middle Army for the Xiongnu, it is likely that he wants him to go to the Xiongnu again.

Of course, this is just a guess.

As for this Marquis of Du Pavilion, it is also interesting.

The titles of nobility in the Eastern Han dynasty are roughly divided into two types.

Chehou and Guannei Hou.

Chehou has a title, a fief, and a food town.

While Guannei Hou does not.

And this Marquis of Du Pavilion is another type between Chehou and Guannei Hou.

There are Marquis of Du Pavilion, Marquis of Du Township, Marquis of Du County.

Although the Marquis of Du Pavilion also has a fief, most of the fiefs are near the capital.

And the food town in the fief mostly comes from craftsmen and merchants.

That is to say, the Marquis of Du Pavilion has no land.

And there is a distinction between the Marquis of Du Pavilion and the Marquis of Du Pavilion.

The closer to the capital, that is to say, the closer the Marquis of Du Pavilion is to the capital, the higher the status often is.

Duan Yu's Marquis of Du Pavilion, this Marquis of Guoting's position is near Xingyang.

It is not close to Luoyang, and it is not far.

But compared to the capital of ordinary commanderies, the gold content is definitely much higher.

"Subject Duan Yu, thanks Your Majesty." Duan Yu lifted his robes and knelt on the ground to bow.

Liu Hong smiled and raised his hand: "Duan, my dear official, get up."

"My dear official is loyal to the monarch and loves the country, I am very happy."

"Oh, right, I haven't introduced you yet." Liu Hong pointed to the woman beside him and said: "This is my beloved concubine, the current Empress."

Duan Yu looked up and happened to see Empress He looking at him with a smile.

Empress?

Empress He?

He Jin's sister?

"Master Duan... is there anything about me that makes Master Duan feel so surprised?" Empress He said with a charming smile, leaning against Liu Hong.

Is there anything to be surprised about?

Can he not be surprised.

Just now on the street, you almost reached into my pants.

You are the Empress, big sister.

If Liu Hong knew about this, what would happen?

This woman...

Her courage is too great.

"Subject Duan Yu, greets the Empress." Duan Yu hurriedly saluted to cover up the embarrassment in his heart.

"Alright, alright." Liu Hong waved his hand with a smile: "My dear official, get up, no need for so many vulgar rituals."

"Seeing you today, I am very happy, the Great Han has a tiger general like you, why worry about border troubles."

"Also, you can eliminate corrupt officials and villains like Wang Rou, I am also very gratified." Liu Hong twisted his beard.

When he heard the two words Wang Rou, Duan Yu raised his eyebrows, knowing that the main event was coming.

"Your Majesty, I have one thing, I dare not hide it." Duan Yu said.

"Oh?" Liu Hong raised his eyebrows with a smile: "What do you have to say, my dear official?" ===== CHAPTER 334 =====
