No matter how Zhang Liang made his choice, the next morning was the time for Xiang Yu to formally assess the merits of his subordinates, veterans and vassals of Chu, and to give further rewards.

This day is not only related to the status of heroes and feudal lords, but also to the stability of the Chu State's regime. Therefore, everyone stayed up all night and waited for dawn, so they got up to wash themselves, put on gorgeous court clothes and entered the palace.

Even Han Xin, who has never been known to pay much attention to his appearance, was not exempted from the custom today.

He put on a new and splendid court uniform, and came to the palace with a "tide", waiting outside the palace with everyone, just waiting for the arrival of the king.

Among the group of people who were either excited or apprehensive, only Lu Bu, who arrived at the hour, was particularly striking.

He didn't touch the long crown of Xuan Xuan, which was supposed to be in the ceremony at all, and he was still dressed in a bright and arrogant battle robe, wearing his beloved pheasant tail and feather crown on his head.

The two long tail feathers are as high as their masters, and they flicker with the wind when they walk.

In addition to his tall stature that stands out from the crowd, even if he simply stood in the front row, alongside Fan Zeng, Han Xin, Long Qi, Zhong Lixuan and others, it attracted countless attention.

He was dressed so differently that Long Qie and the others just cast curious glances, but Han Xin was a little anxious: "Why don't you change your court clothes?"

Lu Bu thought to himself, where are you going to dress?

I don't know which bastard whose head was kicked by a donkey thought, he got a court dress from the palace the day before yesterday, the top is made of cyan, and the bottom is made of soap, and the top is decorated with many decorations. Just looking at it makes him dazzled. Dazzling "chaotic", much more bells and whistles than this shirt.

If he really put it on, standing among the Chu ministers who were not far from the uniform, he would be even weirder than the shirt!

Lu Bu opened his mouth to answer, but there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and he couldn't help thinking.

In the evening, everyone who listened to the sound for a while turned around and saluted, and it really was the emperor who came.

Across the huge crowd, Xiang Yu saw his love general without any effort.

Seeing that Feng Xian didn't wear the extravagant court clothes he specially ordered, he was still wearing his usual shirt, but he was even better than the old days when he was in high spirits and shining...

Xiang Yu felt a little disappointed at first, but soon turned to delight.

That's all, with Fengxian's straightforward "sex", he must think that the court clothes are too many accessories, and it is inconvenient to move.

Xiang Yu ran a few thoughts in his mind without changing his face, and ordered everyone to stand up and enter the hall first.

After the emperor sat down on the throne, the courtiers guarding outside the hall were led and filed in.

Knowing that this day would be long and boring, Lu Bu wanted to stand by the side so that he could play his skill of sleeping with his eyes open for a while.

Unexpectedly, Fan Zeng's bastard old man and his foolish old man, for some reason, had a tacit understanding, and for a while secretly pushed and shoved, they moved his position to the center of the front row - the place closest to Emperor Han.

On the seat, Xiang Yu could not help but feel a little better when he saw the small movements of the two of them, and suddenly said, "Why doesn't Fengxian wear court clothes?"

Lu Bu was still glaring at Han Xin, the cheap old man who had been cheating on him for no reason.

While scolding this idiot for not opening the pot and raising the pot, a wisp of wit flashed in his mind, and he made up in his mouth calmly: "If the minister is rewarded with military horses, he will see him in military attire; if the minister relies on strategy If you are rewarded, you will be greeted in Confucian clothing! The ministers are not like the generals, most of them are both brave and prudent, and they can wear whatever clothes they wear.

Hearing this, Xiang Yu slightly curved his lips.

Bong Xian... really cunning.

The faces of the people who also heard these words suddenly became subtle.

In the huge Chu camp, Lu Du, who became famous and the most famous since the palace banquet; he was the most swaying in the state of Chu in terms of strategy, beheading internal "traitors", recommending virtuous talents Han Xin, and guarding the capital of the country with his own hands. Yes, even His Majesty dares to punch and kick Kamito twice when his advice fails...

How could such a high-ranking official who even Ya's father, Fan Zeng, take the initiative to take the second place, can tell the nonsense that "only one body can barely make it to the stage"!

However, although His Majesty's expression did not change, the atmosphere around him showed some satisfaction. No matter how much emotion people felt in their hearts, they could only sigh that Lu Bu really "touched" the emperor's heart.

Not only is he good at figuring out what he wants, but he is also a god-given ability, so it is no wonder that His Majesty has blue eyes.

Because everyone has made a lot of contributions to Lv Bu, and later came to the top, they will definitely be rewarded the most and the earliest point.

Then Xiang Yu personally announced that Lv Bu, as a nobleman, devoted his loyalty to Chu Shuocheng, strategized strategies, and charged into battle, and made the greatest contribution. He was named the prime minister, and the highest and first-ranked Marquis of the 20th rank, and he could personally choose a county in Guanzhong. , take 30,000 households as fiefs.

Such a generous reward made all the ministers marvel in their hearts, and all of them looked at it with envy and admiration.

Lu Bu's expression was as usual.

His act of abandoning everything and fleeing thousands of miles on that day completely proved his determination to become an official. Not to mention Xiang Yu, who liked him, even Fan Zeng didn't dare to ''force'' any more, and he only regretted it. Sigh, while discussing today's affairs.

Even if Lu Bu didn't want it, Xiang Yu must be rewarded both publicly and privately because he came later in the Chu camp and made the first contribution.

Xiang Yu still had the thought of "Feng Xian may be willing to accept after he understands it", and let Yafu and Feng Xian discuss how to play the play.

However, Lu Bu was originally a lazy spleen, and he was frightened by the pain that he couldn't stop using his mind a while ago. Now that his revenge is about to be avenged, how can he still work foolishly and work hard!

Without blinking his eyes, he thanked him on the spot and said: "Earlier, His Majesty cut off the violent Qin, and outside the garrison gate, the ministers were scattered everywhere, and the lucky ones who entered the Chu camp must be guided by God. Moreover, the minister's ability is meager, only loyalty It is advisable to always be by your side. Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise and wise, chooses a wisdom among the fools, chooses a virtuous person among the useless, discerns heroes with a discerning eye, and has strong generals like clouds and wise men like rain, only then can we defeat the enemy one after another. The hegemony of the world is clearly a fortune bestowed by God on His Majesty, how can this minister dare to take credit without authorization? The minister is only satisfied with the title of the marquis, no matter whether it is the back cover or the household, I dare not accept it!"

Lu Bu recited the belly draft here without blinking an eye. It was already over, so he could just bow down and wait for Fan Zeng to convince him.

But he didn't know why, when he saw the idiot's expression that couldn't hide his loss, his eyes rolled, and he continued without knowing it: "A man stands tall in the sky, and he is born and died all year round. The same is true for the ministers. However, the ministers observe that the common people are the same as His Majesty's liver and brains, but their bones are "exposed" in the wilderness and no one pays attention. Selfish desires make it difficult to unify the world, and it falls into a state of divisions like a few days ago. Wouldn’t it be injustice for His Majesty, who is dedicated to revitalizing the world and restoring prosperity?”

Lu Bu bowed deeply to Xiang Yu, and said in a loud voice: "A child of a child, how can there be multiple parents and clans on your head? His Majesty used to be only the king of Chu, who only needed to show mercy to the people of Chu; In the wasteland, all the people of His Majesty belong to the vassals of the vassals, and what does it matter? The Zhou Dynasty was once powerful, and it was served by the lords, foreign barbarians came to worship, and the world was in harmony. Weaknesses, heroes rise together, the world is riddled with holes, and the people are displaced."

Not only the Zhou Dynasty, but also the Han, which he was more familiar with.

When the imperial court was prosperous, the prefects were all conscientious and their territory was stable; and when the imperial court was in turmoil, all the prefects who had real power took advantage of the advantage of "the sky is high and the emperor is far away" to get out of control and compete in the Central Plains.

Recalling the tragic scene he had witnessed with his own eyes, Rao was as hard-hearted as Lu Bu, and there was a bit of sadness in his eyes.

"Your Majesty would like to pity your ministers and be a blessing to your ministers; however, your ministers should also know the righteousness of their subjects, and they should not put all the people in the world into trouble! The soil is a gift, and the minister secretly thinks it is absolutely impossible!"

After hearing this, some of the ministers who still had luck in their hearts, even if they were not reconciled, they could only admit with a throbbing pain.

Although they didn't know why, how could Lu Bu not be attracted to fame and fortune, and insisted on rejecting the reward that had already been given to him...

But know that the matter of splitting the earth to seal the king and the prince is afraid that it will never happen again.

After all, even Lu Bu, who had made great achievements, was humble and unwilling to be named, and he even used the excuse of righteousness in the world.

Their credit is far less than the other party's, so how can they reopen this mouth?

Moreover, the one who made the greatest contribution in subduing the backs of the world and smashing the backs of the princes was Xiang Yu himself, who was unparalleled in the Chu army.

Xiang Yu bowed his head and seemed to listen intently, but was silent for a long time.

At the end, Fang sighed lightly, his eyes complicated and gloomy: "I will follow what Feng said first."

After Lu Bu resigned and only received an unconfined title and gold and silver treasures, the ministers who were appointed after him, even if they were unwilling, could only grit their teeth.

Not daring to be the first bird who is bound to be beaten, they reluctantly resigned together.

Therefore, Xiang Yu then awarded a circle of awards, and the titles and money he sent were countless, but there was not a lot of land under his jurisdiction.

Except for Lu Bu, who wished for something less and was happy and happy, Fan Zeng, Han Xin, and Chen Ping were the only ones who were really happy about it.

Even the loyal veterans Long Qie, Zhong Lixuan, Ji Bu and others who had followed Xiang Yu for many years, when they really learned that the fiefdom was hopeless, were happy for the reward, but they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Fan Zeng is very old, and he has already abandoned his selfish desires.

Han Xin had a military book, a military belt, and a battle—even if there was only one of the three, he would be satisfied. He was even more delighted to be recognized by the title of Marquis.

As for whether there is a fief... Even if there is, he is reluctant to seal the virtuous brother who is destined to stay in Xianyang, and the countless military books that he has not yet finished reading.

In contrast, Chen Ping's calmness is due to his thoroughness.

With a playful look in his eyes, he cast a glance at Lu Bu, who had a calm face.

——There is no vacuous person under the reputation, this Lu Qishi really has foresight.

Chen Pingping smiled, the fox eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought: "Which one cares about the higher the merits, and which one cares about the trustworthiness of the king?" If the mansion collapses, today's honey will be tomorrow.

Even if Xiang Yu really had that kind of bearing and endured it for the rest of his life, his successors might not necessarily turn a blind eye to this terrifying threat.

The more generous and generous His Majesty's actions are today, and if he intends to withdraw the gift in the future, the means will be destined to be more sinister and cruel.

It would be better to be like Lu Bu, who took a few steps back beautifully, which not only showed the clarity of his lack of ambition, but also completely stabilized the trust of the emperor.
