Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 30

Before dawn, Jia Hun was dragged up by the maid to wash and change clothes.

In a daze, he put on his upper garments.

Different from the previous great court meetings, this time the court was to be knighted. According to the rules, one had to wear a ceremonial armor to go to the hall, and after the canonization was completed, he would be changed into court clothes to show that he was knighted for his military exploits.

Only generals have this honor, and they have the exclusive right to wear armor and hide armor. Of course, armor that exceeds the number of personal soldiers cannot be hidden, and they will be killed if caught.

Although foreign relatives can also be knighted, they are not qualified to wear armor. If there is even a piece of armor in the family, they will be dismissed from the knighthood at least, or exiled at worst.

This is the most obvious sign to distinguish Wu Xun from foreign relatives. In addition, it is also to prevent foreign relatives from messing with politics.

As for civil servants, of course civil servants can also lead troops to fight, but in this way they have to make a choice. If they continue to be civil servants, they can only wear the standard armor of the local treasury.The other way is to become a general.

Fortunately, I already had an honorary title before, and I was awarded General Zhaoyong for the first time as the third rank, so I can wear purple robes.

Wearing a purple brocade robe with large sleeves embroidered with leopard patches, a golden phoenix wing pocket on the top, red tassels on the top, a collar around the neck, and a piece of armor.

The robe is covered with a bright copper-colored mountain armor, the shoulders are covered, the arms are worn with armbands, the neckkerchief is wrapped around the collar, the chest is tied with a armor belt, the center of the chest and back is decorated with a protective heart mirror, and the waist is surrounded by a golden belly. It is tied with a silk belt, with a gold belt and a red scorpion on the outside, and a wooden sword.

The feet step on leather soap boots, and the legs are tied with greaves and foot armor.

Putting on a set, he was sweating from exhaustion, and Jia Hun came to his senses completely.

"Hey, wearing this on the battlefield, I'm afraid I'm going to be shot at as a target!" Jia Hun looked at himself in the bronze mirror and moved his body.

The surrounding maids laughed lightly.

"A dog can't spit out ivory, so why shoot it at a target!" Jia Amnesty had already put on his court clothes and walked over.

It was the first time for my dog ​​to go to court, so I was afraid of any omissions, so I came to have a look.

Although he is no longer a super-rank Duke, he is still a first-rank general in the official rank, still wearing a red robe and a seven-beam crown on his head. Compared with the Duke's Liang Guan, the cage is missing.

On the left side of the waist, there is also an extra tooth plate than the civil official court uniform.

"Er Hun respectfully invites father Jin An!" When Jia Hun really wanted to kneel down to pay his respects, Jia Amnesty quickly supported him.

"You don't need to be too polite. It's inconvenient to salute with your armor on. How about it, but it's packed?" Jia Amnesty carefully checked his son's attire, and seeing that he didn't find any problems, he dragged Jia Hun out of the house.

The left and right are only worn for a while, and you still have to change clothes after the canonization.

The square official of Chunhuafang is also a member of the Jia family, and he has already opened the door of the square and waited for the two patriarchs to go out.

When Jia Hun's concubine won the title, he would naturally start another lineage, and he would be the patriarch of that lineage by then.

Jia Hun was supposed to ride a horse to court according to the rules, but Jia Amnesty called him into the carriage anyway.

"Father, if our military officer doesn't ride a horse, won't someone impeach him?" Jia Hun was a little uneasy.

"Flick the hammer. Apart from the Ministry of Rites coming out of Luoyang in full force this time, do you think there are any civil officials here? Not to mention the censor."

"Yes, the censor of Duji Province." Jia Hun blurted out.

Jia Amnesty was already used to Gouzi's subconscious bullying, so he just took a sip of hot tea and took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun.

"It's winter, the inspector and censor are all huddled in the car. Hey, isn't he the car on the left front? According to the law, he, a seventh-rank sesame official, is not worthy of a carriage. He himself didn't follow the rules. Can you still control us?

Don't worry, I know the rules, just wait until Xingjin Bridge and then put on a horse. "

"So that's the case, then it's all right." Jia Hun felt relieved.

He has been a law-abiding citizen for two lifetimes, and he still holds these rules in awe.

He took a bowl of porridge with preserved egg and lean meat from the small porridge bucket on the carriage. He wanted to eat more in two or three bites, but Jia She hurriedly stopped him.

"One bowl is enough, one bowl is enough, it's bad if you drink too much!"

The big-bellied Han Jiahui curled his lips, put down the bowl reluctantly, ate another steamed bun, and drank a small cup of tea.

As a rule, eating food is finally suppressing the hunger.

After a while, we arrived at Xingjin Bridge, where all the carriages stopped, and those who were not good enough got off the carriages quickly, and the generals also hurriedly changed their horses.After the carriage left in a noisy but orderly manner, the rest of the civil servants carrying high-ranking officials and the warriors on horses entered the palace first, followed by the low-ranking civil servants and generals.

Go all the way to Yingtian Gate.

There are already a group of people waiting here.

"Brother Jia, brother Jia!" Out of the crowd came an eight-foot-tall vat... Ah no, a big black-faced man with big arms and round waist.

"Ah, Brother Lu, you arrived so early!" Jia Hun was a little surprised.

"Brother Hui, who is this?" Jia She looked at the burly man.

"Ah, Dad, let me introduce you. This is a hero who is strong in the Northwest. I am Brother Lu Dalu! Brother Lu, this is my father, the first-class general of the gods, Master She!" Jia Hun introduced each other.

"Ah, so it's Uncle She, Sa... Luda pays respects to Uncle!"

Jia Amnesty quickly grabbed Lu Da's arm, almost dodging his waist.

"Hehehe, there is no need to be too polite, General Lu is about to be knighted too?"

"That's right, Brother Lu is the first to ascend six times, and the champion general of the [-]th rank!" Jia Hun flaunted.

"Hahaha, you can't compare to brothers!"

Lu Da was originally a headhunter in Pingliang, and his life was as ordinary as water, but more than half a year ago, Heshuote invaded and killed all the way to Pingliang, which aroused Lu Da's chivalry to fight for justice and defend his family and country.

After helping Pingliang to defend the city and repelling Heshuote's partial division attack, he gathered a group of heroes who also wanted to defend their home and country, and made a career out of it. Qi Bianjun.

Within half a year, he conquered more than a dozen cities with the army, and he climbed first each time. Among them, he won six times with as few hits as possible.
Twelve rounds of hard work, but because he has only joined the army for half a year, and he was still a low-ranking headhunter before, so the title will not be very high.

But the honor of the champion general is indispensable.

Jia Hun and him met at the party in Yanlailou, and they hit it off very well. During the few days when they left for Luoyang, their relationship developed by leaps and bounds, and they started calling each other brother and brother.

After shivering a few more words, the censor came to inform everyone that they had lined up for the whole team.

"General Lu and my son are waiting here for a while, the old man is going to schedule shifts." After finishing speaking, he exchanged a few polite words with Lu Da, and Jia She turned around and left, walking towards Wu Xun's team on the right.

"Brother Lu, the censors are starting to stare at us, let's go to the capital to protect them too."

"Success, listen to brother."

The two also came to the ranks of the appointed military officers.

There was another burst of politeness, and since they knew what title they were in advance, everyone began to guess what the title was.

"Yo, are you all here?" Chen Jingyuan's voice came from far away.

"I'll pay my respects to the Fourth Prince!"

"You don't need to be too polite, it's just a matter of identity." Chen Jingyuan quickly helped several veterans at the grandpa level to their feet.He also joined the military attache's team.

"Hey, Chen Si, are you limping?" Jia Hun saw that Chen Jingyuan's walking posture was wrong.

"Almost, didn't I go to the plateau with you guys? It made Grandpa and Father fearful for several months. After you went back yesterday, you beat me up. If it wasn't for today's court meeting, I would probably have been beaten up." I can't get out of bed for a few days."

"Hey, then why did you join our team? Aren't you knighted with your brothers?" Shui Che asked.

"Hey, I have traveled tens of thousands of miles, climbed plateaus, climbed icebergs, and presided over the establishment of the administrative framework of the plateau. This is some real credit!

It’s different from my brothers who put military achievements to their mouths. If a few people get close to the Great Wall, they are called criminals. If they are all hacked to death, they are called victory. If the mountain bandits fail and escape, they can win or lose, and the strategy will shift. I don't bother to be crowned king with them and lose points! "Chen Jingyuan looked disdainful.

"Besides, the emperor's grandfather has personally set the king number for me a long time ago. How can this be compared with those of my brothers who asked the Ministry of Rites to choose a number? It's just to show the difference."

"But won't you become a target of public criticism?" Shi Yuanxiu was a little worried.

"Hehe, it's a mediocrity not to attract envy. It's been five years since Crown Prince Ying's brother died of smallpox, and his mother has nothing to do with her. The closest ones to the East Palace are the second brother, the third brother and me.

In any case, as an older prince, I will definitely be targeted. Whether I want to fight or not, the two elder brothers in front and the bratty younger brothers in the back will come to tease me.Rather than being framed and imprisoned, it would be better..."

Chen Jingyuan fell silent when he said this, but the senior Northwest officials who heard his words knew it well.

There is nothing to say, Taizong was able to ascend the throne, relying on the generals of Liaodong formed by conquering Liaodong.

The emperor's ascension to the throne was due to the Jixuan frontier army who stayed in him when he was young.

Even if mediocrity is now on the scene, there is still a direct lineage of the Jiangnan Beiwa Army.

The reason why the prince joins the army is to have a direct line of power, coupled with the officials of the palace, to have the opportunity to control civil and military affairs in advance, but this is the beginning of the test of the heir.

Every move I make will be recorded. How to deal with the army, how to train civil servants, and how to balance civil and military affairs are all compulsory courses for becoming an emperor. There will be no mediocrity.

The emperor selected in this way has military power in his hands, civil servants have cronies, and he also has certain abilities.

Raising Gu with mutual restraint, take turns to sit on the farm, even if they lose, it doesn't matter, they won't be liquidated anyway.Just push another prince up next time. These are all secrets that the nobles of each family know well and never spread them to the public.

Only those civil servant families who had passed the imperial examination were buried in the dark, thinking that this group of warriors had not yet fully evolved into a political family, and they still had humanity that they shouldn't have in their hearts.

Now, the direct lineage of the Fourth Prince is their Northwest Frontier Army.

It didn't matter to them at all, anyway, the other prince's parents were not from the Northwest, and Chen Jingyuan's performance on the plateau also proved his character and strength, so there was no need to choose any more.

Jia Hui took Lu Da to explain to him, and it was the first time that Lu Da felt the shock from the Daqi court.

Three quiet whips sounded, and Yingtianmen, which was still a little noisy at first, immediately fell silent. Following the rhythm of "Chao Hui Le" from Ming Tang, he walked towards Ming Tang solemnly but at a certain speed.

After both civil and military squads entered, Jia Hun and the others also lined up neatly, led by Lu Guan and the four commanders, who also followed the rhythm and entered at the end of the two squads.

Jia Hun ranked first from the left in the second row.After walking for a long time, we arrived under the magnificent hall.

"The four gates are open, and all nations come, and the examinations are short, and the talents are recruited. It is as solid as the imperial residence, and it is easy to be poor for thousands of years!"

Jia Hun sighed.

"Huh? It's a good sentence. It sounds like Li Taibai's legacy. You wrote it?" Chen Jingyuan came closer.

"Ah? Ah, yes, I feel it."

Jia Hun blushed.

There is indeed Li Taibai in this world, but there is no such "Ming Tang Fu".

The main reason is that the Mingtang was built more than ten years ago, and Taibai had never seen it before.

That being the case, then this Fu belongs to me.

"Tsk tsk, I told you not to write that drama anymore. You don't have that talent. You can just write poems and songs. You have that literary talent. Look, isn't this coming out?"

"Ahem!" Jiaoyi Yushi reminded the two not to whisper.

Jia Hun and Chen Jingyuan immediately fell silent.

Everyone was waiting for the start of the canonization ceremony in this cold wind. Everyone was a fighter who had experienced many battles, so they were not afraid of the cold.

After going through some procedures in the Ming Hall, the big Han generals finally called their names. From high to low, Lu Guan, who ranked first, entered the Ming Hall first.

After waiting for about half an hour, the commander-in-chief of Guyuan also walked up, and Jia Hun's calm heart became more and more excited.

After waiting for another cup of tea, it finally came to me.

"Xuan, General Zhaoyong Jia Hun, General of the Cavalry of Anxi Protectorate Mansion, has an audience!" The old eunuch, who had been shouting for almost an hour, was still very angry.

"See you, minister Jia Hun!" Jia Hun rolled his name and walked towards the Ming Hall step by step following the rhythm of "Chao Hui Le".

At the end of the "Chao Hui Le", Jia Hun also climbed to the top of the Ming Hall, and the moment he stepped into the Ming Hall, the new "Chao Hui Le" played, which aroused Wen Wu's amazement and lamented the coincidence.

The emperor sat upright on His Majesty Dan, and the twelve-pronged sky crown covered his face, making the emperor even more mysterious.

Jia Hun had seen the face of the emperor, but he didn't look very smart.

"General Zhaoyong Jia Hun stepped forward to listen to the letter." The emperor's slow and majestic voice came down, and the emperor's royal voice echoed throughout the bright hall.

"Chen Jiahui greets His Majesty!"

The chief eunuch Xia Shouzhong took out an imperial edict from the jade plate held by the young eunuch beside him, looked at the mark, and confirmed that it was Jia Hun's imperial edict.

"The imperial edict said: I govern the world with literature, and use military force to fight chaos. And the generals of the army are the pillars of the court and the backbone of the country. They are able to have both civil and military skills. Almost."

"General Er Zhaoyong and Jia Hun, a member of the Anxi Cavalry Army, burn their salary up to Dan, broke the country in the four directions, fought in the four fields, captured the bandits and chieftains before your majesty, and made military achievements in the four directions. Hou Li should be like that too. Eryuan has been quite pastoral in ancient and modern times, and is close to being forbidden.

Zite granted Er the title of Zuozhu State, General Sima led the Ministry of War with the title of Shangshu, Zishan Doctor, Marquis of Wuwei County, and Admiral of the Three Thousand Battalions.Xi's edict is ordered in opera, and Wei Zhenyi Di.My Jun Lie, who is deeply attached to Yuan, made great achievements in Huaxia, smoked with Zhao Lubu's bravery, and temporarily Xi Wubian, Qinzai. "

Although he already had guesses in his heart, Jia Hun was still so excited that he wanted to cry.

"Chen Jiahui thanked His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

"No gift, flat body."

The little eunuch guided Jia Hun to a small room, where several court ladies had already prepared court clothes and were ready to put them on him at any time. This was the court dress he had tailored before.

The little eunuch who came in was the first to untie Jia Hun's armor, moving skillfully in groups of two and two, and the armor had already faded off after three strikes, five divisions and two divisions.

Another two court ladies stood on the low stool, untied their hair and recombed them, surrounded by a group of court ladies who took off Jia Hun's clothes. Visibly flustered, he frankly watched the court clothes being put on one by one.

Just as the dental plaque was hung, the hair was combed.

Look at yourself in the bronze mirror in the corner.

Dressed in green clothes from Zaoyuan and red Luosang from Zaoyuan.

The clothes are decorated with a square heart and a curved collar, holding a tooth wat.

Clothes are decorated to cover the knees, and belts, leather belts, jade pendants, and ribbons are wrapped around the waist.

There is also a court lady on a low stool wearing a seven-beam cage scarf crown symbolizing a marquis, golden cicada accessories on the front and back of the forehead crown, and a carved feather symbolizing a county marquis on the left.

I am different from before, Jia Hun thought.

The whole process did not take more than one stick of incense, and a frontier general outside had just finished listening to his edict and was led over.

After nodding his head and saying hello, Jia Hun went back to thank him again.

"My minister, Marquis Jiahui of Wuwei County, thank my emperor Long En again, and I only hope that my emperor will live happily ever after!"

"Excuse me, let me be flat." The emperor replied mechanically again.

Jia Hun understood, turned around and retreated to the military ranks, sitting right behind the kings and dukes, the first among the princes.

Looking at the steps between the bright hall and the square, how many people in the world are crazy to step on you.

As for me, this leads to Mingtang, and once I leave, it will be my whole life.

　Thanks to the book friend 20181126192640666 for the 500 tip!

　　Recently, I was watching a mixed cut of the four great classics, and I decided to add a few characters from the Water Margin that I am familiar with. Of course, I have only watched the Shandong version, which should be a few episodes of the Shandong version.There are not many people who are familiar with them, just a few, no more than ten, and there will be absolutely no plot related to Liangshan.

　　In addition, the update time is probably between one and two in the morning
