Not long after, Ruda also entered the Mingtang with several people. Because of his lower title, he was not canonized alone like the Duke.

After sitting upright for nearly an hour, when Jia Hui could hardly feel his legs, the canonization was finally over. Next was the canonization of the prince, and Chen Jingyuan also went to the palace wearing the prince's court uniform.

"Going on an expedition for brotherly love is called 'Yi', climbing on ice and lying in the snow to attack thousands of miles is called 'Yong'. The common character for the king of brothers of your generation happens to be 'Yi', so the emperor gave you the title of 'Yi Yong'." , from today on, you are the Prince of Volunteers, and I hope my son will live up to the word 'Yoyong'."

The Qi Dynasty did not choose the Spring and Autumn King title like the previous dynasty, but chose to use the font name as the king's title.

The former word became something similar to generation, such as the emperor's generation.

The emperor's royal title is King Zhongli, and his contemporaries include his thirteenth brother King Zhongshun and his fourteenth brother King Zhongxin.

The emperor gave his eldest grandson, Prince Li's legitimate son, the title of Prince Yizhong, using "Yi" as the general character for this generation of the clan.

Because his son was a county prince, Prince Li, the father, was also called "Prince Yi Zhong". At first, the former princelings deliberately replaced the posthumous title of Prince Li. Later, it spread widely. The unofficial title of Prince Yi Zhong The title has become the most commonly used title. The title Prince Li is almost extinct, and the emperor has no objection.

There is no problem with the king's title, the problem lies with the prince.

The emperor's eldest grandson, Yi Zhong, is a county prince. You, a little transparent child born from a common concubine, are you worthy of being a prince?

The ministers who were standing next to the other princes could not sit still. Just as someone was about to come out to object, they heard the emperor speak again.

"You are different from your brothers. You used your real merits in exchange for the title of prince. This is the emperor's golden words. If there is any problem, the emperor said to go to him and confront him face to face." The emperor was a little excited. .

I don't know whether he was happy because his son was crowned a prince, or whether he was excited at the thought that someone would go to confront the emperor.

The ministers who were just about to leave their duties suddenly became weak. Since it was the emperor who gave the order, they could not tolerate their objections.

If you offend the emperor and let him vent his anger on the prince behind you, it will be more harm than good.

But the eyes he looked at Chen Jingyuan became colder and more fearful.

This is a prince who really has a heart to heart with the army, and he will be a great enemy in the future.

The ceremony of canonizing the prince is also over, the meal is served and the work begins.

In the northwest frontier army group, there was a small group belonging to the Jia Hui brothers, and everyone was lucky enough to get a title.

There is no need to say more about Chen Jingyuan, the righteous and brave prince, and Jia Hui, the Marquis of Wuwei County.

The clear water won the title of Weiyuan County Bo.

Shi Yuanxiu was given the title of Duke of Jingyuan County.

Niu Zhao was given the title of uncle of Didao County.

Liu Gao became the uncle of Ningyuan County.

Liu Li became the uncle of Fuqiang County.

Ma Lin was able to stabilize the county.

Hou Kuang got the son of Ningling County.



Even Chaganbari and Asir were awarded titles. Chaganbari was granted the title of Bo of Dihua County, and Asir was granted the title of County Prince of Linzhi.

Ruda was also granted the title of Prince of Pingliang County.

They were enjoying themselves in the main hall, changing cups and cups.

The most solemn dance music for military commanders also began to be performed in the square under the Mingtang.

First, "Dance of Qianqi".

War dance excerpted from "Li-Dawu".

The dancers from Taichang Temple poured out from the dark room under the Mingtang, holding a dick in their left hand and Qi Dadong's topless breasts in their right hand. They applied tung oil on the muscles that were specially trained to look beautiful. Every move showed off their masculinity. The masculine figure danced in the court, showing the martial virtues of Da Qi.

Next, "Success Celebration Dance".

In the 10th year of Taizu's reign, the world was at peace. He visited Linzi, the eastern capital, and the Qingshan Temple built on the ruins of Taizu's ancestral home happened to be completed. Taizu was overjoyed and held a banquet for all the ministers. Taizu lamented the hardships of starting a business and wrote "Chongxing Martial Arts" ", ordered Taichang Temple to rehearse music and dance, and formed the "Achievement Celebration Dance".

The horse rides on the new moon, frightening the birds and worrying about the past.

Kuang is grateful for his family virtues and has a deep sense of nostalgia.

Accumulation of good deeds will make you happy, and you will succeed in martial arts.

The world is governed by hanging clothes, and the carriage and writing are the same.

Baishui patrols the former traces, and Danling is lucky to be in the old palace.

A feast is held to rejoice the old, and a high banquet is held to gather the new.

He stayed in the countryside to caress the fields and visited the shepherd boys.

The auspicious air lingers in Danque, and the auspicious smoke disperses in the blue sky.

The isolated island is white with frost, and the distant mountains are red with the sun.

Yu Yan happily built the building and chanted the south wind.

Since then, "Achievement Celebration Dance" has become a must-have dance music at the royal banquet after returning from victory.

Finally, there is "Yirong Dading Le".

During Taizong's northern expedition to the remaining Yuan Dynasty, he visited Yanjing.

The army was training in the open area outside Desheng Gate. Taizong climbed up to Desheng Gate to watch. He saw that the soldiers were in high spirits and mighty, and the formations of the troops were ever-changing and magnificent. He was very moved, and ordered the musicians to perform " Yi Rong Ding Le".

It was a pity that we could not see the "Dading Music" that was originally rehearsed by the soldiers who returned from victory. However, the dance team that Taichang Temple tried their best to form also performed very well. The battle-hardened Jia Hui and others watched The blood is also boiling.

The three necessary dances have been performed, and now comes what everyone wants to watch.

The dancers from Jiaofangsi filed in from the left and stood in the center of the bright hall.

They danced gracefully as the musicians played, showing off the gracefulness of Chinese women.

Suddenly the beat changed, the Han women left the stage from the right, and the beauties who paid tribute from Goryeo came in from the left.

The dancing pans and drums have been set up, and the dancers are dancing calmly, with a comfortable appearance and a wide range of meanings. Even the inadvertent movements are never out of order, and the hands, eyes, and body movements are all in line with the sound of the drums. The slender Luo Yi fluttered in the wind, and the long sleeves crisscrossed left and right. An endless stream of gestures spread out, twisting figures, arms and legs merged...

After the dance, Gao Liji also retreated to the right. The musicians had already changed their instruments, and the exotic Western music was playing. On the left, the charming Hu Ji danced into the center of the Mingtang...

Songs and dances from all ethnic groups in Daqi gathered together, and beauties with their own characteristics competed for beauty, demonstrating the destiny and prosperity of Daqi.

The banquet lasted from noon to sunset, and then they dispersed with unfinished content.

The drunken Jia Hui carried the drunken dog father out of the palace gate. The groom and servant who had been waiting outside quickly took Jia She from Jia Hui's shoulders. The remaining two people also supported Jia Hui on the left and the right. After saying goodbye, we got on the carriage and drove to Chunhuafang.

. . . . . .

"Brother Lu, are you really not going to stay in the army anymore?" Ten miles west of Luoyang, Jia Hui, Chen Jingyuan and others bid farewell to Lu Da.

"Don't stay any longer. If it weren't for Heshuote's invasion, the Sa family wouldn't have joined the army. In fact, even if they didn't come, the Sa family would still be thinking about quitting the job of catching the head and going out to try their luck. It happened that my brother, I, had paid a visit to a man in my hometown. The master is Elder Zhizhen of Wenshu Monastery in Mount Wutai.

Now his old man is going to our Dayun Temple. He heard that my brother was in Luoyang, so he wanted me to come with him. The elder is waiting in Xin'an now. "Ruda replied.

"If you walk from Wutai Mountain to Dayun Temple, can you pass by Luoyang?" Jia Hui had some questions.

"Ah, elder, he visited White Horse Temple a few days ago."

"That's it." Jia Hui was silent.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Brother, this is my belt. It is not universal across the country, but it is very useful along the canal and in the Jiangnan area. When you encounter a shop with my Jia family's moire pattern, take out this belt. Here comes the card, the shopkeeper will do his best to help you, just take it." Jia Hui took off his belt card and handed it to Ruda.

"And mine." Chen Jingyuan also took out the badge of his new work.

"And ours too!" The brothers took off their identity badges one after another.

"This...that brother is ashamed of himself. If you have any instructions in the future, just send someone to inform him." Ruda was not a hypocrite. The group of brothers who came to give him a gift were all like-minded brothers. They took their The waist card must be repaid in the future.

"Okay, bring the wine!" Seeing Luda happily accepting everyone's badges, Jia Hui was overjoyed and asked someone to bring out the wine that had been prepared.

Each person had a wine bowl, filled with the fine wine that Jia Hui had secretly collected for nearly a century, and everyone drank it all.

"Haha, good wine, good wine, brothers, no need to send it anymore, just go home!"

After smashing the wine bowl, Ruda mounted his horse and headed farther and farther west with a few soldiers who wanted to follow him.

After watching Ruda completely out of sight, the brothers finally looked away.

"Okay, let's go back. We have to pack up and go back to Yanjing."

The group returned to Luoyang.

. . . . .

Rongguo Mansion.

Jia She reluctantly looked at every plant, tree, brick and tile in Rongxi Hall.

The old lady in Yanjing has been living in Rongxi Hall since her father adopted her. After her father left, she never left. The most outrageous thing was that she let the second family live in! The real head of the Rongguo Mansion, his own dignified first-class general, could only live in the east courtyard where only the heirs lived. His son Jia Lian, who was supposed to live in the east courtyard, actually lived in a side room in the second uncle's courtyard as if he had lost his father!

I have told the old lady several times, but she has never taken it seriously, as if she was making trouble out of nothing!

Alas, forget it, it was the old lady’s intention after all, let’s talk about it later.

But in the past two months in Luoyang, I had a great time living in Rongxi Hall!

It's a pity that I will go back tomorrow, and I will have to live in the East Courtyard again. Even after moving back to Luoyang, it seems that I will not be able to live in Rongxi Hall.

Jia She decided not to sleep tonight and take another look at Rongxi Hall. The next time he moves in, he still won’t know the year of the monkey or the horse.

After drinking a bowl of century-old wine, Jia Hui lay on the bed and fell asleep with Yue Liduo in his arms.

. . . . . .

The next day.

The father and son got up early, washed briefly, and had breakfast.

Everything you need to bring has been packed. After you go to the palace to greet the emperor later, you can go home and wait for departure.

Yes, waiting to go.

The full set of the emperor's ceremonial guard alone is thirty miles long, plus the prince's ceremonial guard and the ceremonial guard of several dukes, they will not be able to leave Luoyang City before the afternoon. This is because his son is the head of the marquis!

The county official will probably be able to wait until tomorrow morning.

Forget about those county boys, just go back to their respective places.

The Qi Dynasty did not strictly manage low-level titles below the county level. As long as there was no official position, it was enough to report the itinerary in advance and go to the Yamen to sign in every place. This was why Ruda could travel freely across the country so easily.

However, officials of third-rank generals and above are strictly controlled. It can be said that they are not allowed to leave the capital without an order, except for official business and weddings and funerals.

Jia Hui wore a gold-woven bullfighting round-necked and narrow-sleeved official uniform. This round-necked robe combines convenience and solemnity and is the most commonly worn clothing by senior military attachés.

Jia Hui also got the right to wear bullfighting patterns before, and all clothing can be embroidered with bullfighting patterns.

After entering the palace to pay his respects to the emperor, Jia She returned to Chunhuafang, while Jia Hui stayed by the Xingjin Bridge.

Not long after, all the brothers gathered together, and Chen Jingyuan also ran over.

"You really don't want to go back to Yanjing together?"

"I won't go back. There is nothing to return to that home anyway. I asked the emperor for a favor a few days ago and went to the southwest to be my grandfather's deputy." Liu Li was a little nervous. A man of his age faced such a thing. , I always feel like betraying my brother.

"Just go. What's there to hide? Brothers each have their own careers and futures. Isn't that something to be happy about?"

"I always feel, I always feel something..."

"Feeling of betrayal?"

"Yes, yes, sense of betrayal..."

"Fart, it's not like you surrendered the thief, it's just that we don't work together. What's the point of betrayal? What's more, Mr. Liu is also the elder of everyone. Is it still a betrayal to go to work for the elders? What's more, there is no one from the royal family here this time What are you afraid of when you’re training over there?”

"No? Then it's okay." Liu Li breathed a sigh of relief. He was mainly afraid that there would also be a prince in the southwest who would experience the experience, and then he would become a stranger inside and outside.

Everyone was quarreling for a while.

"I am also going back to Guyuan to serve as a deputy general to my second uncle." Hou Kuang said.

"I'm going back to Ili too." This is Chagan Bazhi.

Several other brothers also talked about their whereabouts.

"Okay then, I've gone to enough restaurants these days. Chen Si is leaving the city soon, so I won't go there anymore. Everyone goes their separate ways and needs to be well!"

Jia Hui had thousands of words stuck in his chest, but he couldn't say anything.

In the first year of Tiansheng's reign, the "sunless army" left Yanjing and came to the northwest. They were quickly assigned to auxiliary military camps in various towns.

A few months later, Timur invaded, and the four northwest towns were mobilized. Except for the necessary garrison personnel, all the troops were mobilized, and the "criminal army" also gathered again.

Over the next three years, there were deaths, injuries, illnesses, and disappearances.

The concubines who left home huddled together for warmth and tried their best to survive. In the end, more than a hundred people came out of seclusion, and only these dozen people remained.

The rest are all buried in the desert.

Now, the few remaining brothers have to go their separate ways to pursue their own futures. Jia Hui felt melancholy in his heart, but he still couldn't bear to let go.

"Since you're not going to the banquet, then give me a punch!" Jia Hui turned on his horse and rushed towards the crowd.

The brothers cursed Jia Hui for his shameless sneak attack and lack of martial ethics, and fled on horseback.

After chasing for a few feet, they slowly stopped, and the remaining few also came to Jia Hui's side on horseback.

"Alas, I don't know when we will meet again next time..." Shui Che also sighed.

The only people who returned to the capital were Shui Che, Liu Wei, Shi Yuanxiu and Ma Lin Niuzhao.

Jia Hui remained silent.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked you to come over." A little gelding ran over.

"Ah, okay." Chen Jingyuan replied.

"That's it. Let's all go back and pack up. We are all going to Yanjing anyway. We are all together. We can hunt together when we have time." Jia Hui kept looking in the direction where everyone left without looking at them.

Everyone separated.

. . . . . .

Thanks to the large gates of Luoyang City, and because the emperor had his own procedures for leaving the city, the entire ceremonial guard lined up for more than 30 miles towards the Yellow River dock outside the city. The people at the front had already boarded the ship, and the people at the back had not even left the city yet!

After loading one boat after another, it was not until Shenshi that it was Jia Hui's team's turn.

Jia Hui changed into an ordinary black brocade with narrow sleeves, a fold-brimmed hat on her head, and a two-handed saber on her waist and hips. In order to avoid collision, she specially wore a tiger skin skirt.

According to law, military attachés must wear a waist knife when traveling, but the Yanling knife is relatively heavy, and the size of the knife and scabbard is too large, so a one-handed saber came into being. The military attachés found that this single-handed sword was light and durable, and could cut without armor. The enemy is particularly handy, so this kind of single sword has naturally become the first choice for military attaches to wear daily.

Jia She also wore one.

Sitting on the carriage, hugging Mrs. Yu, the father and son lay side by side with their eyes narrowed like two losers, watching the soldiers and servants checking their luggage and preparing to set off.

"Sir, sir, the people from the Military and Horse Department are here to inform us that we can set off."

"Well, let's go." Jia She said.

"Okay." The boy quickly went to tell the people in front that they could set off.

"Ah ha ha ha, dad, I'm going to ride a horse and get some fresh air." Jia Hui stretched out, took out his single sword from the shelf at the left front corner of the carriage and hung it on his waist. He opened the door curtain and got out of the carriage. The cold wind blew the father and son. The two of them trembled.

Riding on his favorite pure black Ili horse without a trace of hair, he first rode back to Yue Liduo's carriage, glanced at him and told her the news of his departure, and then rode to the front of the team. He followed the team of former Guyuan Chief Military Officer and Anding County Duke Kai Rui who were at the front and returned to Beijing to retire.

Yue Liduo has already served tea to Jia She and is already a member of Jia Hui's room. Now, the servants call her Aunt Yue.

Just wait for Li Wan to come in, and after serving tea to Li Wan, you can write it into the family tree.

Yue Liduo had been with him through thick and thin in the desert for nearly three years. Jia Hui decided to give Yue Liduo the status of his concubine, officially becoming one of the four corresponding concubines of his Marquis. This concubine was recognized by the country, and its status and inheritance rights were all the same. High ordinary concubine first class.

For example, Jia Zheng's Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhao was born into a descendant of the Jia family and was of low status, so she was just a concubine and had no chance of being included in the family tree.

If an innocent woman from a good family becomes Jia Zheng's concubine, then the status of the children born to this woman will be far superior to that of Aunt Zhao's children, even if her children are younger than Tan Chun and Jia Huan.

The household registration that Jia Hui applied for for Yue Liduo in the Anxi Protectorate was a good household registration. Although his status was not very high, he was a merchant.

But enough for the family tree.

Jia Hui also mentioned Yue Liduo in his letter to Li Wan. Although it was very bad to mention other women in his letter to his real fiancée, he still did it.

Unexpectedly, after Li Wan lost his normal temper at himself, he showed his curiosity about her. After several communications, Li Wan also learned some information about Yue Liduo, so he Say nothing more.

The team moved forward little by little, and finally squeezed onto the boat just before sunset. Since they didn't bring much, most of the soldiers stayed in Jia Hui's Zhuangzi given by the emperor outside Luoyang City.

There were only a hundred soldiers in total, plus thirty boys, Yue Liduo, maid and mother-in-law, and Jia Hui and his son. There were more than 240 people. There were not many people, and they could be loaded in one boat.

It was inconvenient to sail at night, so they just hung half the sail and headed east bit by bit. When they reached Liaocheng, they had to change to a special canal boat. The big river boat they were riding now could not enter the canal.

While the meat he brought was fresh and he wanted to finish it quickly, Jia Hui decided to make mutton hot pot. Two mutton bones and part of the meat were sent to the people below to eat. Jia She, the concubine and Jia Hui Yueli Duo brought them. Sit at a table and cook copper hot pot to eat.

There was laughter and heat rising.

The heat from the hot pot drifted along the window to the river and dissipated under the stars.
