Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 29
Goodbye to Yue Liduo, the first thing is naturally to be gentle.

Didn't get out of bed for three days.

It's not that I can't stay anymore, but the angel in the palace has come.

In the main hall of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Hun and the angel sat facing each other, chatting about the world, the angel told anecdotes about Yanjing, so that Jia Hun could understand the current situation, and Jia Hun also talked about anecdotes about the west, which made the angel very addicted. But the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

"Oh, hey, it's exciting to talk about, but it's delayed the business!" Angel was about to eat another snack, but he didn't expect to grab it all, and then realized that there was still business to do.

"General Jia, ah no, I should change my name to Junhou. This time our family is here to give you an early warning and teach you various etiquettes. Do you know that Junhou knows the two emperors?" What officer was given to you?"

None of the angels born in the palace are short-sighted. I have already inquired from his godfather Dai Quan. The emperor likes this little general Jia very much. The group of nobles who canonized are even more in the heart of the emperor. If they don't establish a good relationship, they will be blind for so many years in Da Nei.

"Huh? That's not clear. I'd like to ask my father-in-law to clarify." Jia Hun also praised him. Although it is a felony to have a private relationship with a servant, as long as you don't stand outside the Emperor's Palace and whisper, few people will care. Even the emperor would not care.

"Hey, you are the Marquis of the county this time. If you are not old enough, you will be the Duke of the country if you are not old enough! It is a pity for the emperor!"

"Marquis? Daqi still has this title?"

"That's not true. It was there in the founding of the country. It's just that the Taizong Dynasty re-appointed all the nobles, and judged their ranks based on the fictitious feudal city. If you are interested in this, you can ask Lord Lu."

"Grandfather? Master Lu, has he become the Duke of the country?"

"Hey, it's a pity if you don't say it. It's also an achievement of destroying the country. It's more difficult for you than Lord Lu. Let's not talk about it. Do you know what else is there?"

"And what about honors?"

"Exactly, you set up the twelve revolutions twice in Anxi, and you hit more with less on the plateau, wiped out an army of 18, and counted cities in succession. It is another achievement of the twelve revolutions." , You have made three twelve turns, and you are the Great General Da Sima! Congratulations Da Sima, congratulations to the great general!" The angel stood up and congratulated Jia Hun.

"Hey, you can't do it, you should do it, you should be ashamed of it, you should be ashamed of it!" He said that he was ashamed of it, but the corners of his mouth were already grinning to his ears.

Put on a show and continue to sit down and talk.

"There is also a matching title of Minister of the Ministry of War, only with this, you are the real Grand Sima, connecting the five armies with the military department and the governor's office.

To put it bluntly, if something bad happens to the official of the Ministry of War, you, the Great General Sima, will have a higher ranking than the servant who has survived for decades, and you can temporarily act as a minister until the court appoints a new minister of the Ministry of War. . "

The angel took another sip of tea.

"Guochao is also the old Ningguozhuang Sugong of the East Mansion of your Jia family, who has served as a public servant, and then you, two Sima of one family.

As for the title, in order to compensate for your overflowing military achievements, the emperor specially bestowed the 'Zuozhu Kingdom'. In addition, the Empress Dowager also granted your biological mother a posthumous order. It's Madam Taihou! "

"Ah, the emperor's grace is mighty, the emperor's grace is mighty!"

Jia Hun was so excited that he couldn't speak, he just kept talking about the mighty kindness of the emperor.

It can be regarded as earning back the life of the biological mother of this body.

As for the matter of overriding the imperial mother's order, anyway, since I have no destiny with the title of the Jia family, I must open another mansion, and if my biological mother becomes the wife of the county marquis mansion, then it's nothing.

This kind of thing is not unheard of in this dynasty, and many civil and military concubines rely on this to feel proud in front of their aunts, anyway, they are posthumous.When my aunt is angry, she will also be ridiculed by outsiders who say why bother with the dead.

This incident was well received and greatly enhanced the loyalty of the concubine Wenwu.Some large families were further divided.

"As for the actual official position, the two emperors have not yet decided, and then there are the soldiers. According to the law, the county marquis is worse than the county marquis. The 100 soldiers who are raised by the state for you, the county marquis has only 50 soldiers. [-], but also to pay part of the money.

Adding in the 100 quota of General Sima, the 30 bodyguards of the Minister of War, and the 50 soldiers of Zuozhu Kingdom, you have 280 soldiers in your hand. Don’t fill it up, it’s best around 240…”

Angel also finally had the opportunity to come into contact with this kind of honorable person, so he wanted to make friends with all his strength. There were many benefits, and at worst, he could help him take care of his family.

Wanting Jia Hun to be more stable, he began to make suggestions.

Jia Hun also took the opinions of professionals in the palace seriously.

"Lord Hou, this is the satin for sacrificial, public and ordinary clothes. The palace didn't know your size, so they only brought satin. The head, crown, teeth, etc. are all ready. Time is running out, and we have to fight for the New Year's Day I have to rush to Shendu before, so I can only rush to work on the road."

"Ah? Luoyang, isn't it Yanjing?"

"Jun Hou was joking, this is the first time since Emperor Taizong that dozens of nobles canonize the canonization ceremony, how could it be held in Beixing?"

. . . . . .

After staying in Chang'an for another two days, the embroiderers at home worked three shifts and finally made three sets of clothes.

All the embroiderers in Chang'an have become sweet pastries, accepting orders in an auction style.

Jia Hun was not idle either. He and all the knights who had won titles in this battle to the west learned etiquette from Dai Ming.

Deming was that angel.

For military generals like Jia Hun who relied on skills to kill the enemy in the early days, controlling one's body was an essential skill, and they quickly learned this set of etiquette, while for those tyrannical warriors who fought with only one word of recklessness, it was torture.

. . . . . .

Yan Lai Lou.

Dozens of people including Jia Hun filed in, the place has already been reserved by them today, even old Lu Guan came.

"Buddhist, come out and hand over all the prettiest girls to me!"

The reckless Ma Lin yelled at the bustard.

"Hey, Mr. Ma is here. The girls have made arrangements and the hall has been cleaned up. Please take a seat quickly, girls, hurry up and welcome the guests!"

The old bustard is well-informed. She already knew that the uncles who booked the venue today are all nobles of Daqi, and they only need to be canonized. Naturally, they did their best to entertain them, and even got a lot of favors, so they invited others. The purpose of the housewife in the building is to impress these upstarts.

They also have to have a good drink, and this is the only time if there are no accidents. When they complete the canonization, they will go their separate ways, and no one will come together like this again.

Northwest Frontier Army Gathering.

The Anxi Protectorate's faction was also from the Northwest Frontier Army, a family, and Jia Hun was naturally included in it, and sat very close to the front, just under Lu Guan and the commanders-in-chief of the towns.

They also knew the news that Jia Hun was about to be granted the title of Marquis and General Sima, and they didn't mind Jia Hun being equal to themselves after years of struggle in the officialdom.

In the final analysis, generals talk about military merits, and it is his ability to earn such military merits at such a young age.

Deming also followed.

If there is no embroidered clothes or eunuchs present at such a thing as a gathering of the Northwest Frontier Army, you will only come to the dinner if you lose your mind and go crazy.

Dai Ming is also an old man, he is still as stable as an old dog surrounded by beauties, and frequently toasts and drinks to everyone present.

The girls around heard Deming's voice and claimed to understand who Enke was, and they all put away their charming and slutty postures, and instead sat elegantly and dignifiedly beside Deming and helped him pour wine and vegetables, and Deming also secretly nod.

Even the girls who waited among the nobles saw that a guest was a servant, and put away their charm, and turned into elegant and talented women, serving the benefactor gracefully, trying not to speak.

As expected of Yan Lai Lou, she deserves to have dominated Ping Kang Fang for more than 600 years, and the service is comfortable.

After the normal dinner, they didn't say anything, and they seemed to have said everything. Even the nobles from the Northwest looked at De Ming with kindness in their eyes.

The Northwest Frontier Army Xungui Group, as well as Dai Ming, the liaison in the palace, became.

. . . . . .

On the second day, the personal soldiers had also been selected.

Among the old subordinates who followed him to fight on the plateau, except for nearly a thousand people who were old and wanted to live a stable life, a total of 110 people chose to follow the general and become his generals.The remaining less than 2000 people also joined the Qianhu who had led them before, such as Shui Che Niu Zhao and others.

Another 30 veterans of the Anxi Army who came to Chang'an were selected to join in. In the end, [-] veterans of the original Anxi cavalry also joined in.

A total of 240 people became Jia Hun's generals, which happened to be 280 less than the stipulated 40 people. This was the result of discussions between Dai Ming and Jia Hun.

No more, no less, all of them were veterans of hundreds of battles, and they had fought side by side with Jia Hun, so they knew the basics, and there were 30 armored cavalry, whose combat effectiveness was beyond the charts.

A hundred or so people were left to join the team that escorted the nobles and their family members to Luoyang, and the nobles from the Northwest rushed to Luoyang with the remaining soldiers.

. . . . . .

The union of heaven and earth, the harmony of yin and yang.

Luoyang City is located in the west of Luoyang Basin, with Mang Mountain in the north and Danghe River in the east.

From Tongguan to the east for more than five hundred miles, after three days, Jia Hun and others finally saw this magnificent city on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month.

This largest city in the world stands between heaven and earth like a peony, showing her grace and luxury.

A huge pillar stands in the center of the city as if it is about to pierce the sky.

This is the "Da Qi Wan Guo Song De Tian Shu" that was proposed and started to be built when Emperor Taizong died. It was not established until the second year of the emperor's ascension to the throne.

Emperor Taizong ordered that the weapons and copper sacrificial utensils captured by Daqi to fight in all directions and destroy countless countries should be smelted to demonstrate Daqi's supreme martial virtues.

Bamian also writes a hundred classics, a subset of classics and history, more than 200 famous titles selected from the best, and Daqi laws and regulations to show Wenzhi.

Tianshu is made of copper and iron. It is made of pillars, one hundred and five feet high, twelve feet in diameter, eight sides, five feet in diameter each.Below is the iron mountain with a circumference of one hundred and seventy feet, surrounded by copper dragons and kylins; above is the Tengyun bearing dew plate, three feet in diameter, and four dragons standing sticks of fire beads, one foot high.

The emperor had already greeted each other outside the city. After a period of etiquette for the emperor returning from the expedition, everyone entered Luoyang City with the emperor.

Most of the soldiers were taken into the barracks outside the city by Xiuyi to entertain them, and they all went to Ziwei City.

To the northwest of Luoshui is the imperial city Ziwei City, where palaces and pavilions are dotted with palaces and palaces.The rest are the private houses of officials and the residences of common people.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the afterglow of the evening sun lightly sprinkles on the red bricks and green tiles or the cornices of the bright-eyed pavilions.

The shimmering carriages and horses, the endless stream of pedestrians, and the peaceful and comfortable smiling faces all show the peace and prosperity of the capital of God.

As they got closer to Ziwei City, Luoshui also came into their sight.

After crossing the Xingjin Bridge, Tianjin Bridge and Huangdao Bridge, and entering the Duanmen Gate, the emperor went back to the harem after entertaining everyone in the bright hall. The nobles from the northwest also left the imperial city one after another, preparing for tomorrow's grand meeting and canonization ceremony.

Jia Hun also returned to the Rongguo Mansion in Chunhuafang.

Chunhuafang belongs to the Jia family alone, and there are two complete state residences located here. Jia's ancestral temple, ethnology, and the brothers who moved here with the second Duke Ningrong are also here. Opposite Chunfengfang, there is another The mansion of the Guogong system is under construction.According to Deming, this was his mansion.

The middle door was opened again, and all the servants knelt to greet Jia Hun, and Jia Hun entered this magnificent mansion that he had never entered before.

An unexpected person jumped out from behind the door, wanting to pat Jia Hun on the shoulder.

The vigilance trained in the battle immediately made Jia Hun notice the movement of the visitor, and he grabbed the hand with a single grab. Just as he was about to make the next move, the visitor hurriedly called a stop.

"Hey, hey, let me go, it's me!"

The man begged for mercy.

"Ah, dad, why are you here?" Jia Hun exclaimed!Hastily let go.

Jia Amnesty rubbed his wrists and gasped for air. Fortunately, he was quick, otherwise he would have been thrown half to death by his dog-like son, and his neck might have been broken.

He also learned this from his father Jia Daishan. Although he didn't learn it well, he could still tell what the next move was at a glance.

Get back a life.

"Father, I miss you so much!" Jia Hun cried and hugged Jia Amnesty tightly, patting him on the back non-stop.

You have to cry out to hug him first, and then pretend to be pitiful, otherwise, your dog father will definitely scold you.

Hey, this dog...

When Jia Amnesty heard Jia Hun howling, he felt uncomfortable.

Jia Hun is his first child, and he is extremely proud of his achievements, but he also feels complicated because his eldest son surpasses himself in success and fame, and there are also some small disappointments that cannot help him.

Because Jia Lian was angered by the matter of the first wife, and I had to go to Pear Fragrance Garden every day to pay my respects to my father, Jia Daishan, so I could often see Jia Hun. It can be said that I spent far more time with my eldest son Jia Lian than my second son Jia Lian. , It can be said to be loved in every possible way.

The little boy who once climbed the pear tree to pick pears has grown into a famous general.

Even if he was as generous as Jia Amnesty, he couldn't help but shed a few tears.

The maids and servants around couldn't help being moved, and lamented the deep relationship between the master and Uncle Hun.

After a while, the two came back to their senses.

"Oh, that's right, Dad, why did you come to Luoyang?" Jia Hun was a little curious.

"It's a long story, let's go to Rongxi Hall first, I've prepared dinner there, let's have the New Year's Eve dinner first." Jia Amnesty rubbed his eyes and said to Jia Hun.

Full of wine and food.

The boys removed the dining table, and the maids prepared hawthorn water for the father and son, and stood behind. It was not a confidential matter, so they were not allowed to go down.

"Do you know how many people I have in the capital?" Jia She took a sip of the warm hawthorn water, which was sour and sweet, but also good for stomach and digestion.

"Of course, my child knows that there are five capitals, Yanjing in the north, Jinling in the south, Linzi in Tokyo, Chang'an in Xijing and Luoyang in the middle." Jia Hui replied.

"Yes and no, but it's not the five-capital system. In fact, Daqi only has two capitals, and the rest are just for business."

"OK?"

"Yes, only Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and Linzi, the eastern capital of Longxing, are at the capital level, and the rest, such as Yanjing, Jinling, and Chang'an, are all at the same level.

Needless to say Linzi, Luoyang is the place where the Great Qi Dingding the world, is the capital, Chang'an, you also know that our Da Qi is based in the east, when the Kingdom was first established, Kansai still had a lot of remnants of the previous dynasty making trouble, such Naturally, Chang'an cannot be used as the capital.

Jinling is prosperous and the location is very suitable, but Taizu said that none of the regimes that established their capitals here will last long, and their fighting spirit has been eroded by the Qinhuai River for ten miles. OK.

Finally, there is Yanjing. After nearly 300 years of Mongolian and Yuan occupation, it has long been destroyed. In order to restore this homeland of the Han family, Taizu deliberately lived here for at least five months every year. Even since Taizong was able to After taking office, he stayed here even more.

Taizu's move was indeed effective, but after all, Huhua has been around for nearly 300 years, and many habits have been passed down, and even clothing has deeply affected this dynasty, such as the tight-fitting underwear you are wearing now. "Jia Amnesty pointed at Jia Hun's clothes with a fan.

God knows why he is still holding a fan in the cold winter months.

"It's mainly because of the emperor. In the past, Taizu Taizong made several northern expeditions, and the Beiyuan Khan fled far away. It was not until Taizong's later years that he dared to return to this desert. He also brought back a large number of people from the west of Tianshan Mountain. The strength expanded rapidly. Moreover, at that time, the Jurchens also became popular, and repeatedly violated the border.

It was under such circumstances that the emperor, who had just ascended the throne, decided to move north to Yanjing, and the emperor guarded the gate of the country. As you know, the Jurchens were swept away by Li Ting, and the Bei Yuan was completely broken up, forming the Oirat Alliance, Kaka The Erka Alliance and the three major alliances of the Yuan Dynasty, attacking each other, can no longer pose a threat to our dynasty.

There is another reason. After Li Ting swept the hole, the territory of the Jurchens became our territory. The emperor ordered the establishment of the Nuer Gandu Division, and our territory extended thousands of miles north. It used to be the largest in the world. The gods in it are a bit southerly, which is another reason why the emperor stayed in the north for nearly 30 years. Jia She drank the hawthorn water in the tea bowl in one gulp, and Jia Hun continued to serve it quickly, Jia She nodded.

"And then it's about you."

"Me? Is there something about the baby here?"

"To be precise, it is the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion.

As soon as you open up the frontier and expand the land, Daqi has doubled in size, and Luoyang, which was originally a bit southerly, has suddenly become part of the world again.

Now that the North Trouble has been decided, the matter of moving back to Luoyang has become the top priority at the moment.In addition, this is the first time since Emperor Taizong that you have so many people's canonization ceremony, and the small palace in the north is naturally not qualified to hold the ceremony in Luoyang Ziwei City.

Ever since, the emperor sent the emperor and me to go south to Luoyang, first to investigate the situation in Luoyang, to prepare for the move of the capital, and second, to fill the scene with the ceremony of conferring the title. The officials are all here. "

"Ah, so much to say, father, you are here to show off." Jia Hun had such an expression on his face.

"You bastard, why are you talking to your father! Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu... are really here to show off..." The voice became lower and lower.

Jia Amnesty racked his brains to think about his recent actions, and found that he hadn't done anything, and he didn't help with the work related to moving the capital.

Coming here by myself seems to be just a matter of appearance.

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore, go back to your room and go to sleep, tomorrow you have to get up early to participate in the court meeting and ceremony." After finishing speaking, Jia She ran away as if fleeing.

Jia Hui also followed his servants to the East Courtyard.

The East Courtyard is actually a place where only Xijue people can live, but who made Luoyang’s Rongguo Mansion just him, Jia Hun and Jia Shen? It seems that the only option is to live in the east courtyard.

After washing up, he lay on the Babu bed in the main hall of the east courtyard. Jia Hun rolled on the bed excitedly for a long time, and fell asleep after rolling for more than an hour.

Outside the house, the maids were staying up all night doing the final check on Jia Hun's sacrificial clothes. They didn't dare to bring the candles over for fear of burning the sacrificial clothes, so they just held a few bronze mirrors, reflecting the distant candle light and illuminating the clothes little by little. checking.

All for tomorrow's court meeting.
