Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 61
On the fifteenth day of the winter month, there will be a grand court meeting in the middle of the month.

Accompanied by the performance of "Danbi Dale", civil and military officials were divided into left and right courts and entered Fengtianmen.

Walking in front of the Huangji Hall, all civil and military officials stopped at the bottom of the steps, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

Three clean whips sounded, all the officials adjusted their clothes for the last time, and the emperor arrived.

When the emperor came out of the palace, ten generals of the Han Dynasty lined up on the left and right holding sacrificial vessels.

The director of the Jiaofang made Zhonghe Shao music, and the music officer directed the music. The instruments used included bells and drums, qin and se, xun, chi, Xiao, Guan, flute, stone chime, and so on. They played together in front of Fengtian gate.

When the emperor entered Danbi, all civil and military officials kowtowed and saluted. After the ceremony, they made the seal of celebrating peace and the seal of peace for Danbi.

The music gradually died down, and the court meeting began.

No one came out to play something. After all, everyone knew that the protagonists of this grand meeting were the generals of the Northern Expedition. If there was anything to do, they would not talk about it here. They just entered the palace in the afternoon and handed out the sign.

The four veterans of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion and the Chief Sima of the Ministry of War took the lead in reporting the situation of the Northern Expedition.

There was an old man who was completely ill. He begged for bones and went back to his hometown to be raised soon after the army set off half a year ago.

After the Northern Expedition was reported, the rewards began.

Yunyu expanded the Zhu Kingdom, and the title was inherited from one generation to the next.

Although Yun Yu was the head coach in name, Jia Hun fought the battles. Everyone knew that Yun Yu himself had no objections. He won the title for nothing, and it was too late to be happy.

Because this Northern Expedition was turned into a war of destroying the country by Jia Hun, everyone's rewards were much richer than previous Northern Expeditions.

The emperor did not confer rewards on Jia Hun first, but the successors who conferred first.

The infantry commander Xie Yong was promoted to Duke of the county, Li Cang, Lin Jin and other county princes were promoted to county princes, and Yuda and Luda also became county princes.

The three thousand households directly under Jia Hui, Yang Zhi, Guan Sheng, and Lin Chong, have also been promoted to the fifth rank that Qianhu should have. Naturally grateful.

It's not easy, they're already in their thirties, and they're still at the ninth rank. If it wasn't for the great general Jia Hun who discovered the three of them, it would have been a year of the monkey if they wanted to achieve their current glory?
After the last person was rewarded, Jia Hun was the only one left, and all civil and military officials knew that the main event was coming.

"Commander of the Three Thousand Battalions, Great General Da Sima, Marquis Jiahui of Wuwei County, step forward to listen!"

"Chen Jiahui pays homage to His Majesty!"

After Xia Shouzhong waited for Jia Hui to complete the salute, he began to read the imperial decree.

"The imperial edict said: I only rule the world with literature, and put an end to chaos with military force.

…………

Zite granted Er the title of Shangzhu State, Duke of Dunhuang County, doctor Guanglu, and the governor of the left army of the five armies.Xi Zhizhi is ordered in opera, and Wei Zhenyi Di.Deeply attached to Yuan Rong's Jun Lie, who made great achievements in Huaxia, smoked with Zhao Lubu's Pi Xun, temporarily promoted Xi Wu, and added Pi Ji, Qin Zai. "

The Governor of the Left Army of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion!
This position really surprised Jia Hun. Although a large part of the power of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion has been handed over to the Ministry of War since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion itself is more like a place for the generals to brag.

However, the governors still have the right to manage the Beijing camp, the guards in various places, and the right to choose the generals of the border towns and guards. The lists of personnel and the files of the generals of each secret army are also kept in the governor's mansion.

Most importantly, the Dudufu has always reserved the right to formulate a general combat plan.

Any decision of the Ministry of War will not be handed over to His Majesty until the Five Armed Forces Governor's Office approves it.

Similarly, the combat plan set by the Dudufu of the Five Armies also requires the deployment and support of the Ministry of War, and the two parties are restraining each other in this way.

Even so, entering the Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies is still the number one goal of the Daqi warriors, and the Dudu's Mansion has become a holy place second only to the Wumiao.

"Chen, I will devote myself to Daqi, and I will be so heartbroken!"

Jia Hun bowed his thanks and was about to get up when the emperor stopped him.

"Jinyu don't go back to work for now, the emperor still has a reward! Factory minister?"

After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Dai Quan.

hiss--

Hearing that the emperor still had a reward, all civil and military officials gasped, and all eyes were on Dai Quan.

Dai Quan saluted the emperor first, then took a step forward, facing Jia Hun.

"The emperor has a decree, to give the general the Suzaku army flag! And to give the general the Suzaku pattern to use!"

"Ah?" Jia Hun froze on the spot, unable to react for a while.

Seeing Jia Hun standing there in a daze, Dai Quan understood, and quickly said:

"General, let's take the decree and thank you first!"

"Ah, I thank the emperor!"

Book that!

Jia Hun's reward was so enviable that all the officials were envious, but the generals extinguished this idea because Jia Hun had become the governor of the left army, had the power of life and death in their hands, and could keep climbing through battles.

But some civil servants are different.

They are crazy about the promotion speed of generals, especially the promotion speed of generals in wartime!

The old man has studied hard for decades, and only entered the official career at the age of 40 or [-]. He has survived countless hard and dark arrows, and has to work through qualifications to be promoted, especially when he reaches the fifth and third ranks. Countless people in the same year and the same subject can only have one or two people enter Gaopin.

Why do you have a talent, a child who is not as old as your own grandson, and you can easily become the Duke of Chaopin at this age!
Moreover, the emperor even bestowed military flags and embroidery patterns on his own!
Just when he was about to stand up and persuade the emperor, saying that Jia Hun could not accept such a reward when he was young, he felt a cold stare from the martial arts class, and even some inexplicable encouragement mixed in?

Looking at the past, it turned out to be the eyes of the generals of his own faction.

Instantly understood, this group of people woke up and broke out in a cold sweat!
He is his mother!These warriors are uneasy and well-intentioned, and they actually want the old man to be the first bird!

If he went out of work to dissuade him, he might be the first of these people to put his sack on him, right?
Forget it, since it was decided by the emperor, he must have his own considerations, so let's do it!

Not long after, Jia Hun changed into the duke's court clothes.

The eight-beam cage scarf crown, because it is a county prince, only has a jade cicada on the front of the crown. If it is a state prince, there is also one behind the crown.

Dressed in Qingyuan Chiluo clothes, Qingyuan Chiluo clothes, a jade belt hanging on the waist, and an ivory wat board in hand, he stood back to the court class again.

After another series of dance and music performances, a banquet was given at noon and the party broke up.

Walking on the Jinshui Bridge, Jia Amnesty pulled the embarrassed Jia Hun to accept the congratulations from the old relatives.

Although the actual award of the second sage was somewhat different from what Chen Si said, it must have been the final plan revised in the past two days, which thickened Jia Hun's award, but the seat of Earl Jia She was still restored!

Known as Uncle Rong!

Jia Hun smiled stiffly again and again, while responding to the words of the old relatives.

If possible, he would rather fight another Northern Expedition!
Just when Jia Hun was so annoyed that he wanted to jump into the Jinshui River, a little eunuch came to save him.

"Grandpa Jia, the Emperor called you to Xiyuan to answer!"

One sentence made Jia Hun happy, and he could finally get rid of them.

"Uncles, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the emperor called me over. Tomorrow, tomorrow, come to the house to drink!"

The crowd quickly separated and let Jia Hun walk over. Looking at Jia Hun who was wearing the Duke's court uniform, a group of people showed envious eyes.

"Brother Enhou, you are so lucky. Brother Hun has won the Duke of the county, and your brother has also returned to the earl. It must not be long before Rongguo Mansion will have another duke of the same family!!"

"Hahaha, where is it, it's exaggerated, it's an exaggeration, the dog still has many shortcomings, and it still needs the help of old relatives! Hahaha!"

Jia Amnesty laughed and replied, but his eyes looked at Jia Hun who couldn't regain his senses for a long time. The red robe finally came to Jia's house again. Father, you must be able to smile in Jiuquan when you are in the nether world!
. . . . . .

"I don't understand why Zhen would give you the military flag and decorations? You know, this is the only one in the Qi army, and even the other old guys don't have this honor!"

The emperor was lying on his side on the couch, studying the "Huang Ting Jing", with his hair loose.

Ever since he heard the news that the former yuan was gone, the old man's temper has improved a lot, he hasn't scolded the emperor for almost half a month, and he usually likes to ride horses and shoot arrows in the school grounds.

Now lying on the couch, it seems that the scriptures are endless, and it has become rounded visible to the naked eye.

"This... I don't know."

Why does the emperor look more and more like the old fairy Jiajing?
Jia Hun, who was leaning over in front of the couch, was slandering in his heart.

"because……"

The emperor raised Jia Hun's appetite and held up a long voice.

Jia Hun stretched his head forward.

"Why?"

"Because...I am happy."

Jia Hun froze for a moment.

"Haha, I gave you the military flag mainly because I wanted to give it to your grandfather a few years ago, but I forgot."

The emperor said confidently.

"..."

Jia Hun was speechless.

"Hey, I just remembered it when I gave you a reward two days ago. You are the only one serving in the army in your Jia family, so I will give it to you. In the future, you can use the Vermilion Bird pattern. Your house , I also ordered a revision."

The emperor straightened up, closed the "Huang Ting Jing", and put it beside his pillow.

"It stands to reason that you haven't reached the point where you own the military flag alone. This can be regarded as the shadow your grandfather gave you. I remember this matter while I am still clear-headed. So, boy, cherish it."

After the emperor finished speaking, he glanced at Dai Quan, who bowed and stepped back.

"Speaking of which, Yang Wenjin from Anxi has paid me a tribute to a Hule troupe. I know that you are versatile. Come on, here you are, can you play?"

Dai Quan came over with a group of Hu Yue troupes, and brought back a banjo that looked like a gourd. It seemed to be called Qopuz?A Uyghur musical instrument of roughly the same origin as the pipa.

This……

Forget it, the emperor is getting old, so it stands to reason that if the majestic general played Hu music in front of the emperor, and let the officials outside know, he must be severely impeached, saying that he violated the etiquette system.

But Daqi's ethos is here, love opera, love music, love to show others your performance skills, maybe the old Confucians outside will think this is an elegant thing.

Forget it, just treat it as caring for the elderly!
"Of course I will. It's just that Rong Chen changed his clothes. It's outrageous to play in court clothes."

The emperor waved his hand, and Jia Hun retreated to the side hall, changed into the dark red narrow-sleeved round collar embroidered with vermilion birds that the emperor had prepared long ago, and returned to the emperor.

Jia Hui tried the strings and adjusted the pitch.

"I haven't played it for a long time, the emperor forgives me."

While talking, Jia Hun gently plucked the strings, thinking about what to play in his mind.

Got it!

"Uighur Music, Yamghur, Tears of Clouds..."

The hand that plucked the strings increased some strength, and in an instant, the desert, grassland, camel, bell, mountain, horse and monk appeared together, and all the people in the hall closed their eyes.

"White clouds roll with thunder,

Will it bring heavy snow to the Quartet?
My gray-haired mother,
Is it tears of sorrow? "

A piece of Uighur language came out of Jia Hun's mouth. Although he couldn't understand what he said, it seemed that a shepherd living in a foreign land appeared in the emperor's mind, thinking of his hometown and relatives...

The musicians from the Western Regions on the side heard the familiar tune, looked at this burly Han nobleman in surprise, looked at each other, raised their instruments together, and started to accompany Jia Hun...

"White clouds roll with thunder,

Will it bring heavy snow to the Quartet?
My gray-haired mother,

Are you crying because of sadness..."

The singing gradually became depressing, like the accumulated thoughts in the heart of a wanderer.

The musicians behind him also sang along.

"Dark clouds and waves accompanied by thunder,

Is it going to rain or snow?
my old mother,

Is it tears of sorrow? "

After singing a section, Jia Hun lowered his head and concentrated on playing the piano. The musicians behind him reduced the sound of their instruments to highlight Jia Hun's piano sound.

After a solo, Jia Hun turned his body sideways and looked behind him. The musicians understood and their voices increased.

"Summer clouds and thunder,
Is there going to be a shower?

O wives of youth,

Are they going to cry? "

Jia Hun lowered his head again and concentrated on strumming the strings.

Outside the hall, the emperor, who came to Xiyuan to hand in homework on a regular basis, could hear the music of the Western Regions and deep singing coming from Yingtai from a distance, but the singing sounds familiar?

The emperor was a little puzzled, and hurriedly quickened his pace. Instead of entering the hall, he just leaned sideways on the door and looked inside.

He didn't dare to disturb his father when he was enjoying the music!Last time, the fourteenth younger brother Zhongxin Wang didn't believe in this evil. When the emperor was enjoying the little song, he broke in because he was favored.

The emperor, who was disturbed by the noise brought by King Zhongxin, was furious, so he picked up the whip and whipped Zhongxin himself. If Concubine Zhen hadn't rushed over in time, his ass would have been smashed.

Oh, it turned out to be Jinyu playing and singing!
The emperor also closed his eyes and listened to Uighur music that he could not understand at all, but the artistic conception Jia Hun played also made the emperor feel what kind of emotion was expressed.

After playing an interlude again, Jia Hun continued to sing...

"The autumn clouds and thunder roll,
Is it going to bring a rainstorm?

My two young sons united in one mind,

Are they going to cry? "

Pluck the strings a few more times, and say again:
"Autumn clouds and thunder roll,

Is it going to bring a rainstorm?

My two young sons united in one mind,

Are they going to cry? "

Seemingly feeling depressed, Jia Hun looked at the strings:

"When you listen to all this,

He has been lying quietly on the mound of his hometown..."

It was another ensemble, and Jia Hun's piano sound gradually slowed down and intensified. He turned his head, and immediately pressed his fingers on the strings after the last accent was dialed out. The musicians and Jia Hun stopped at the same time.

"Okay!" The emperor standing at the door cheered vigorously, causing the emperor who was still relishing the sound of the piano to cast a dissatisfied look at the emperor.

The emperor's hairs burst immediately, he quickly closed his mouth, and walked into the hall.

"Hehe, boy, you are being modest. You can play and sing well, but you can still speak Uighur?"

"The emperor killed his ministers, and the concubines of the ministers are Uighurs who are serious and honest, so they learned the Uighur language naturally.

Besides, there was nothing to do in the Western Regions other than fighting, and I happened to like to fiddle with musical instruments, so I found someone to learn from. "

"Have learned? This is not like learning. Hey, tell me, how is General Jia doing?"

"The general's skill is one of the best even among us Uyghurs..." The lead musician felt that the surname sounded familiar, and he didn't recognize it when he was fiddling with the instrument just now.

"General Jia? Python Gesi..."

A tall musician accidentally blurted out and knelt on the ground in fright, which made the remaining musicians feel overwhelmed and knelt down together.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, a certain family likes the nickname Boggesi, and you are also very good, and you can cooperate very well in the first ensemble."

"Okay, since Jinyu forgives you all, get up, boy, I didn't expect you to be quite famous in the Western Regions!"

Jia Hun smiled reservedly.

"Where there is, it is all thanks to the blessing of the emperor and the emperor. Without the full support of the two emperors, how could there be Jia Hun today?"

The three laughed at the same time.

"You boy, if you don't know how to flatter, don't do it. I'm sick of listening to it. Okay, go back, and play a few more songs for me when you have time. I'm a little tired, emperor, come back tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, the emperor lay down on the couch, closed his eyes, and started snoring after a few breaths.

The emperor and Jia Hun looked at each other, and at the same time, there was a trace of worry.

Since the extermination of the Yuan, the emperor seems to have lost his obsession, and he doesn't like to move more and more, gradually showing his old age.

You know, a few years ago, even Prince Li rebelled, a large number of children and grandchildren were massacred, and even a serious illness could not make the emperor's hair gray.

On the contrary, it took less than ten days for the news of Mie Yuan to reach Beijing, and his hair was almost half white.

Facing this old man who always treated him as his own son and grandson, Jia Hun even regretted bringing An Tong back.

Sensing Jia Hun's remorse, the always gentle emperor stopped.

"Jinyu, there is no need to blame yourself, the emperor has been at war with the Yuan people since he was the crown prince, it has been 40 years, and during these 40 years, destroying the Yuan has become the emperor's obsession.

For a hero like the Emperor, rather than living a hundred years in vain with unwillingness, the most important thing is to end his obsession, even if it means dying..."

The emperor paused and quickly covered his mouth.

"Ahem, I didn't say anything, and you didn't hear anything either!"

The emperor stared into Jia Hun's eyes and said.

"...Yes." What else can I say?This kind of thing must rot in the stomach.

"Okay, you can go back too, and urge your family. By the end of the month, we will be leaving for the capital of God. The veterans are getting older. You should also pay close attention to the relocation of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. !"

"I obey the order! However, I still have a question, I don't know the emperor..."

"Let's hear it, I will tell you what I can say."

"Why do you want to move the capital in this cold winter? There are so many people with their families, and the canals are frozen. If there is another snowfall, it will be even more difficult to leave..."

"This matter, Qin Tianjian said that although it is cold this winter, there is not much snow and water, and we can wait until spring, and the road is muddy when it rains, making it difficult to walk.

You can use the sledge even if it is snowing. Of course, do you know what the last point is? "The emperor sold a pass.

"This... I don't know."

Jia Hun had a bad feeling.

"The most important thing is that the emperor is happy!"

"..."

As expected, I can only say that you deserve to be the emperor.

　Five thousand three hundred words!

　　Then, the song I wrote is the restoration of the ancient Uyghur song by the Aleksh Orchestra, "Tears of Clouds". I personally like the grassland style and music of ethnic minorities. If you are interested, you can search for it.
