Jiayou's Fun

According to Dayin's ritual system, enfeoffing an official was a very solemn and solemn matter.

When Dayin established the Ding Dynasty and founded the country, to ennoble the princes, it was necessary to choose a good and auspicious day and build a huge altar to worship heaven and earth. The emperor had to bathe and fast one month in advance before presiding over the grand ceremony.

But that was the founding Duke, a prince who wanted to split the country and seal the territory.

Compared with those Founding One-Character Dukes, the dukes that Lu Qian and Lu Yi were awarded were a Duke of Tianen and a Duke of Tianyang. From the title of the title, the style was much lower, and the meaning was also inferior. A lot.

Besides, do you expect the current Emperor Jiayou, Yin Yuan, to endure hunger and abstinence for a month, then go to the altar in the wind and rain, and preside over a ceremony for several hours, just to confer a title on you two?

Impossible, absolutely not!

Therefore, when Yu Changle called out Lu Yi's name loudly, Lu Yi hurriedly patted his official robe, strode into Fuyao Hall, and then, under the personal and gentle guidance of a young eunuch, he went to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Pay homage with great ceremony.

Lu Yi, like Lu Qian, also went out to pay homage.

The uncle and nephew looked at each other. Lu Qian nodded politely and smiled, while Lu Yi looked at Lu Qian deeply with a dark face, without any change in his facial expression.

Yu Changle drew up the edict in his own handwriting, gave it to the Queen Mother, used the Emperor's Jade Seal, and handed it to a eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony.

The burly eunuch with a loud voice respectfully unfolded the imperial edict, lengthened his voice, and began to recite the awards to Lu Yi and Lu Qian in a very rhythmic tone.

Lu Yi received few rewards.

According to Yinyuan's thoughts, he took advantage of this opportunity to promote Lu Yi from Tianenhou to Tianengong, just to express his resentment that he was forced by the court officials and could not make Lu Yi a 'gong' as he wished.

According to Yinyuan's original intention, he was not happy about Lu Yi's contribution last night.

He wished that those rebels would rush into the Prime Minister's Mansion and start killing people? It would be extremely pleasing to the eye if he could chop a few times on Zhu Chong's body. Lu Yi wiped out the rebels and saved Zhu Chong and other courtiers. Yinyuan was not happy!

How sensitive are the guards?

Before dawn, Yinyuan received a detailed report - yesterday when he was fighting ghosts and evil spirits in the imperial city, a large group of important officials of the imperial court were watching the fire from across the bank, watching the excitement of the emperor in the Prime Minister's Mansion!

Therefore, Lu Yi's title was raised by one level, giving him some vanity, and adding 3,000 households of food, but that's all.

The reward Lu Qian received was extremely generous and heavy.

When the eunuch in charge of the ceremony read out Lu Qian's rewards one by one, all the cultural and educational officials in the court, including Zhu Chong and below, were stunned and speechless. Some even had eyes faintly spitting fire, and their gazes were like daggers, swiping at Lu Qian fiercely. Come and sweep.

How kind was the emperor's treatment of Lu Qian?

Lu Qian was granted the title of Duke of Tianyang, and the Taifu invested 1,500 acres of homestead land in Yushunfang. The Shaofu provided people, capital, and goods, and the palace's master craftsmen supervised the construction of the Tianyang Palace.

Lu Qian was granted the title of Hao. Outside the capital, eight thousand miles south of the city, in the Xiaocang Mountains, the Shaofu had a copper mine, a tin mine, and an iron mine under its control. It was also granted to the south of Xiaocang Mountain, and the Shaofu ruled three thousand miles of pasture.

Lu Qian was awarded three palaces in Yinmaifang, Qipinfang City, Haojing, with a total of nearly two million acres of fertile land, 10,000 households, and a total population of 100,000.

Lu Qian, following the Dayin clan's first-level convention of being titled Jun, was awarded a Kunpeng-patterned robe, a set of gold knives and silver swords, gold spears and silver halberds, gold saddles and silver stirrups, gold riding whips and silver reins, and other ceremonial guards.

Lu Qian was awarded the title of thirty-six Shenwu generals as guards of honor, and their salaries came from the Shaofu.

Lu Qian gave the Yulin Army three thousand warriors as bodyguards, and their salaries came from the Shaofu.

Lu Qian was awarded Jie, the first white wolf tail banner (dao, a big flag used in ancient marches or important ceremonies), the fourth green wolf tail banner, the eighth black wolf tail banner, and the nine-quqing blue banner. Luo Umbrella Yi, you can follow the practice of Dayin's Gong, build a private army, beg unworthy ministers, and raise your own salary!

As the eunuch in charge of ceremonies chanted one clause after another, the expressions of many courtiers in the hall changed again and again.

If you, the emperor, are willing to spend money on making a duke or building a duke's palace, then it's up to you. The area of ​​a palace that is 1,500 acres is a bit oversized, but you, the emperor, don't care, and naturally neither do your ministers.

Granting fertile land, granting mines, and granting pastures is a matter of course.

The newly named 'Duke' is another young boy. His pockets are probably cleaner than the shiny floor of Fuyao Palace. If the emperor doesn't give him any benefits, Lu Qian may not even have the most basic servants required for a 'Duke'. The servants can’t even feed themselves.

What about Kunpeng patterned robes, gold and silver swords, or thirty-six divine generals serving as honor guards? This is all 'vanity', no big deal. In the history of Dayin, there was once an emperor who loved a certain concubine so much that he actually decreed that the concubine's father should enjoy the honors of the prince level of the dynasty.

The ceremonial guard of a prince is one level higher than that of a 'king'.

It's just 'vanity', everyone is a little jealous, and they scold you behind your back with some righteous words such as 'lucky to be a villain', 'to be favored by a sycophant', that's all.

Three thousand Yulin troops were transferred on the spot and became Lu Qian's bodyguard?

This... is a bit excessive, but acceptable. A dignified father-in-law of Dayin must have his pomp and splendor. Without three thousand guards, you would be embarrassed to go out and say hello to people!

However, give Lu Qian Jie!

What is a false festival yue?

The holiday axe, during special periods, is equivalent to the emperor’s imperial power!

The ax in the Jiejie axe is the golden axe in Lu Ye's hand, which has the power of life and death to cut first and then play.

That 'Jie' is slightly worse than an axe, and has almost no authority to cut first and then report. However, those who hold the Jie can be regarded as the emperor's special envoys. When necessary, they can also use the emperor's name to raise troops to conquer the unfaithful!

It would be even more outrageous to teach Lu Chen three kinds of large scrolls and the Nine-Number Qingluo Umbrella!

In Dayin's military system, generals commanded troops outside and divided authority with large banners.

A large black wolf-tailed banner, one capable of commanding ten thousand troops.

A large blue wolf tail can command an army of 30,000.

A large white wolf tail can command hundreds of thousands of troops.

Yinyuan granted Lu Jin three kinds of imperial decrees, which directly gave Lu Jin the power to command an army of 300,000 soldiers.

As for the Jiuqu Qingluo Umbrella, this is a kind of ‘honor’ and a ‘privilege’. Those who travel with the Jiuqu Qingluo Umbrella will be one level higher than the rank of official in the army, except for the general!

Of course, compared to those senior princes in Dayin, the mere 300,000 troops command is nothing. Among the princes from all directions in Dayin, some of their ancestors are just sons and male princes, and they have more than 100,000 troops under their command. million?

With the status and territory of a 'principal', it is reasonable to have an army of 300,000 people.

The problem is that there are many gongs in Dayin now, such as Laiguo Gongfu. They have more than five, six, seven, eight and three hundred thousand private troops in their own territory, but those private armies are private armies and cannot leave their homes. Taking one step outside one's own territory without authorization is regarded as treason and rebellion.

And if Lu Qian gets these great banners given by the emperor, he can lead 300,000 elite soldiers and generals to roam around any territory in Dayin legally and legally!

A private army without a large banner is just a guard dog.

The private army with the big banner is a wolf for prey!

What's even worse is that the emperor also awarded him the Jie!

This means that if anyone gets enmity with Lu Yi in the future, Lu Yi can come to your door at any time and bring an army of 300,000 people to cause trouble for you, while you can only be beaten passively!

As soon as the emperor's reward came out, not to mention the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, even Lu Yi looked at Lu Qian again and again.

As a close minister of the emperor, and also a confidant of the emperor who had the ability to save the emperor, Lu Wei only had a large blue wolf tail in his hand, and he could only lead 30,000 private troops around.

In this way, in order to avoid suspicion, Lu Yi would take at most more than 10,000 people with him every time he traveled.

Lu Yi looked at Lu Qian, feeling inexplicably sour in his heart - Hey, from now on, he is no longer the most important confidant in the emperor's heart?

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies was still chanting the emperor's reward.

The front is already big, and the back is just some fragmentary and beautiful things.

For example, the emperor rewarded Lu Qian with a certain amount of copper coins, a number of gold barley seeds and silver ingots, a number of gold melon seeds and small silver medals to reward his servants, a certain amount of brocades and silks made in the palace, carriages and sedan chairs made in the palace. , a number of bronze vessels of various colors, and a number of rare and precious treasures such as pearls, corals, tortoiseshells, agates and other tributes from the four major states.

It is said that today's emperor is a miser who loves money as much as his life, but Yinyuan is really generous to his trusted confidant.

Of course, it may also be that there are too many bits and pieces in the Shaofu's warehouse from the four major states, and Yinyuan wants to take the opportunity to clean up the inventory?

At the end, the reward sung by the eunuch of the ceremony even included thousands of giant golden nanmu, rosewood, huanghuali wood and other precious woods with a length of twenty feet and a diameter of more than eight feet!

Lu Qian's face twitched.

Based on his knowledge and experience, he didn't know what to do with these giant rare woods besides making coffins!

However, it is all the emperor’s ‘favor’!

Apart from suffering, what else can you do?

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies read about all kinds of strange rewards for a quarter of an hour. After that, there were even thirty thousand catties of white pepper, one hundred thousand catties of black pepper, eight thousand catties of borneol, three thousand catties of frankincense, and two ounces of ambergris. Qianjin and other strange things appeared.

Lu Qian could only tighten his face and force a bright smile on his face.

Did he use these spices to bake bacon?

At the end, Yinyuan even gave Lu Qian a big surprise. He actually rewarded Lu Qian with 30 maids from Jiuquyuan who had received good etiquette training. They were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, tea art and cooking. There are one hundred palace maids, 300 palace maids who know etiquette, know how to advance and retreat, can play music and answers, and are understanding of people, and 600 rough servants who know the rules, speak tight, work quickly, and are strong and healthy.

Obviously, these maids and maids were prepared for Lu Qian's newly built palace.

Even if you have money, where can you find these maids who have received systematic training in the palace? They are much better than the folk girls who buy them from tooth shops outside.

All civil and military officials in the court were so jealous that their eyes were red.

Lu Qian's paws were a little numb. What he was thinking was that the maids given by Yinyuan did not say, the salary will come from the Shaofu. Do you want to support them by yourself?

Suddenly, Lu Qian heard the emperor's laughter.

Lu Qian, this is all Lao Yu thought of at the moment. Think about it for yourself. If there is anything else you want, I will give it to you while everything goes well today.

Don't worry, in a few days, some people will say that my rewards are too heavy, and you are a flatterer and a sycophant. If you want benefits by then, it won't be as easy as today.

In the main hall, there were at least more than 300 civil servants, and they couldn't help but snorted heavily!
