Shenjing City
Years pass by and seasons flow by. Before you know it, it has been a month since Jia Heng led the cavalry from Beiping Fucheng and left Beiping Fucheng.
The spring of the 16th year of Chongping also quietly left, entering the early summer of May, the cicadas were chirping and the forest was noisy, and the heat was gradually rising.
From Peiping to Datong and Xuanfu, the cavalry troops from the Beijing camp who were deployed abroad also embarked on their journey back to Beijing one after another.
Ezhe Khan of Chahar Mongolia also led a pair of sons and daughters and a large number of trusted generals and ministers to Shenjing, the capital of the Han Dynasty.
The rectification of Jizhen, Xuanda and Hebei border affairs was in full swing under Jia Heng's "tactical guidance".
The new commander-in-chief of Jizhen, Qi Jianhui, and the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, Wang Ziteng, went to the two places to take over the defense and began to implement Jia Heng's fortress and beacon pier early warning and defense system.
As for the officials of the Han Dynasty in Shenjing City, they also received reports that Jia Heng's troops had returned to the capital, and heard that the army was approaching Shenjing City day by day.
Shenjing City, Daming Palace, Hanyuan Palace
The space in the hall is vast, and the sunlight falls on the floor through the red windows, making the hall completely silent.
Emperor Chongping was discussing with the cabinet ministers, the six ministries and nine ministers, and the minister of military aircraft about Jia Heng's appointment.
The emperor sat on the throne, looking at the ministers below, and said: "Yongninghou led the army to go out this time, drove away the barbarians, annihilated 30,000 enemies, and even killed the slave chiefs, which greatly boosted the morale of our court. I am very As a monarch who is stingy with honors and rewards, do you think that the Marquis of Yongning should be given a title and title? In addition, generals such as Xie Zaiyi and Pang Shili of the Jingying camp fought bravely and defeated the Eastern captives. One discussion.”
It is impossible to wait until all the meritorious generals return to the capital and then argue about which title to confer. This seems quite disgraceful in Chinese officialdom.
Of course, the emperor immediately set the tone.
Yao Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, held an ivory and jade wat in his hand, coughed, and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that Marquis Yongning's contribution is in defeating the Eastern captives, killing the slave chiefs, and driving the captives out of the fortress... He is the first to be ranked first. Marquis, based on merit, should be promoted to Duke as a rule, but Yongning Hou was granted the title of Marquis when he was young, and he was already extremely wealthy. The humble ministers thought that the Holy One was for preservation, so they thought twice before doing so."
"How to preserve it? To preserve it with a small reward for one's efforts is to seek fish in a tree." Zhao Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, said immediately, and then he cupped his hands and said: "If the rewards and punishments are unclear, everything will not be accomplished. If the rewards and punishments are clear, it will be possible in all directions. The Holy Master will make Jin Jue can also inspire the generals and soldiers to have a spirit of life and death, and to work hard."
At this time, Cen Weishan, the Minister of Punishment, pondered for a moment, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I don't agree with Lord Zhao's words. Since the Marquis of Yongning became an official, he has been promoted from commoner to first-class marquis. His titles have been promoted one after another, and his official positions have been added one after another. Plus, but it has not reached the weak crown, I think that leaving some room for it is also the way to be blessed."
If you seal him as a first-class prince this time, what else are you going to seal next time?
Emperor Chongping frowned and said in a deep voice: "The title of Marquis Yongning today is not a lucky one. He came because of his military merits. I recall what Yongning Marquis said in the "Cijue Table" in the past. If you don't show kindness to your ancestors, you will gain fame by yourself. , These high-spirited words are still in my ears and those of your ministers. Since you have done meritorious service, you should not hesitate to reward me with honors, otherwise the country's rules and regulations will not exist, and the generals and soldiers will be heartbroken."
Hearing this, Xu Lu, the censor of Zuodu, coughed, raised his hands and said, "What the Holy One said is absolutely true. I believe that the system cannot be abolished because of people."
Emperor Chongping looked calm and noncommittal, and said: "My lords, let's discuss it according to the rules."
Prince Nan'an frowned and felt secretly anxious as he listened to the civil servants in the palace discussing the issue of knighthood.
Shi Jie, the Minister of War, held an ivory jade wat in his hand from the court class and said: "Your Majesty, I think that because of the merits of Marquis Yongning, he should be granted the title of first-class Duke, so as to show the great kindness of the emperor of the Heavenly Family and to encourage the generals to die."
After hearing this, Emperor Chongping nodded and said, "Shi Qing's words are not unreasonable."
Zhao Mo, the Minister of Punishment, pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I think that Marquis Yongning is young after all, and the Jurchens are still alive. Although his achievements are outstanding this time, he cannot suddenly become a duke. Firstly, there is no title, and secondly it is easy." It feeds arrogance and arrogance.”
Because Chen Han's highest title with a different surname is the county king, so if he is granted the title of first-class duke this time, what will happen next time if he has merit?
If the Jurchens are not completely wiped out, the title cannot be sealed, and it is even more inconsistent with the national law of rewarding meritorious services.
At that time, he was added to the title of County King?
Therefore, one cannot be granted the title of first-class duke all of a sudden.
Emperor Chongping said: "What Zhao Qing said is quite reasonable."
At this moment, seeing Emperor Chongping change his mind, Zhao Mo's heart moved and he said, "I think that being granted the third-class title by Marquis Yongning is enough to appease him and encourage him."
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment and said: "The third-level Duke has the intention of suppressing the heroes, but I will not take it."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Mo looked stunned, with a little doubt in his eyes. He cupped his hands and said, "I am ignorant and don't know the holy will."
It can be said that the purpose of the current emperor's power manipulation is to bring out the idea of taking care of both Rongning and Ningfus.
Otherwise, you can't go up and marry a princess and a princess. Needless to say, the civil and military officials of the whole court opposed it.
Emperor Chongping pondered and said: "Since the Marquis of Yongning led the army to the expedition, he fought fiercely at Jierharang, killed Huang Taiji, and led the army to drive the invaders out of the Han Dynasty. His achievements were illustrious and powerful in the desert. He should be rewarded based on his merits. He should be given a title." First class gentleman."
The eyes of the officials in the palace, such as the Prince of Nan'an County, darkened, and they felt unhappy at first, and then sneered in their hearts.
Is it a long-lasting relationship to be granted an official title when you are only twenty years old?
The Prince of Nan'an County finally couldn't hold it any longer and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since the founding of our Han Dynasty, has there been any Duke under the age of twenty?"
At this time, Zhao Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, snorted coldly and said: "It's not just the princes who are under the age of a weak crown, there are also county princes."
Prince Nan'an: "..."
You old man, what benefit does Jia Heng's son give you that makes him worthy of your words to protect him?
That's right, if it weren't for Jia Heng's son, Zhao Yi would have been expelled from the court long ago.
"My ancestor Yu Yin was still able to be ennobled as a county king, but now the leader in martial arts and the country's Qiancheng is jealous and criticized by his colleagues because of his age. Every time I think about this, I am inexplicably frightened." Zhao Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, said. With a solemn expression, he held an ivory jade wat and spoke loudly.
I have to say that this is a scholar, and every word is like a knife.
Prince Nan'an's face was as gloomy as iron and he said nothing.
At this time, Yan Hong, the newly-appointed Imperial College minister, coughed and came out of the train. He raised his hands towards Emperor Chongping and said, "Your Majesty, I think that by conferring Yongning Marquis a first-class title, we can show the clear distinction between rewards and punishments." .”
As the saying goes, if you want to give something first, you must first take it. Only if Yongninghou reaches the stage of a duke, they don't need to remind him at all. With the emperor's mean and jealous temperament, the emperor and his ministers will definitely be suspicious.
Some time ago, the chief minister of the cabinet was undecided, and Han Huang was pulled in various ways by Emperor Chongping, which made Yan Hong feel some resentment towards Emperor Chongping and at the same time he also saw clearly Emperor Chongping's temperament.
As Yan Hong spoke, six ministers and nine ministers spoke one after another, saying everything.
Emperor Chongping's face was solemn, and he could not see any emotion or anger. He suddenly said: "I think about it the same way. It's just that due to crimes, the Rongning and Ning clans were either deprived of titles or exiled. There was no one in the family to carry out the incense. I have made great contributions to the country, but because there are no successors, the honorable ministers of the country are left under the nine springs with no blood to sacrifice, and no elegant music to listen to. Every time I think about this, I feel unbearable."
All the ministers in Hanyuan Hall looked at each other, a little confused as to what Emperor Chongping meant by these words.
Aren't you talking about promoting Marquis Yongning to a noble title? Why did Duan Duan suddenly mention the incense offered by the ancestors of Rong and Ning? What does this mean?
Don't you still want to use Jia Ziyu's contribution to benefit the descendants of Ningrong and Ningrong?
Select the younger members of the clan and bestow them with titles as a gift from heaven?
While the ministers in the palace were having different thoughts, Emperor Chongping's eyes were as calm as water and he said in a warm voice: "In the past, Yao Qing mentioned that there is a folk method that can prevent heirs from fighting over etiquette. I heard it and found it quite reasonable. Yao Qing, please explain this method in detail to all the ministers."
Yao Yu was called out by Emperor Chongping, and was stunned for a moment. He quickly recovered his mind, held an ivory jade wat, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the so-called folk method of using both temples and temples means that one person has two temples and two rooms, and offers incense to both rooms."
After saying that, he briefly introduced the essence of the method of combining the body and mind with the ministers in the palace, and the ministers in the palace were also people with outstanding minds and understood the joints of this method.
Put an end to disputes between Pu Yi and Dali Yi.
Without waiting for the ministers below to say anything, Emperor Chongping said: "Now there is no one to worship in the Rongning and Ning mansions, and the title has been deprived. I think that the Marquis of Yongning can have two houses, and his biological father's lineage will be rewarded with the title of Marquis of Yongning. Meritorious service can be extended to both Rong and Ning."
Yao Yu: "???"
At this moment, the civil and military ministers in the palace were looking at each other, obviously not sure why Emperor Chongping suddenly mentioned the method of "consolidating the temples."
No, what does this have to do with being conferred the title of Marquis of Yongning...
No, it really does matter!
Some people with lively thoughts have already reacted and said secretly, wonderful, the emperor is worthy of being the emperor.
This undoubtedly solves the problem of high achievement and difficulty in sealing the title.
If you have more merit, you will not be promoted to the title of your own father, but to the title of Duke Ning and Rong. Even if you hold three titles, you are still one person, which is equivalent to diluting the credit in fact. The Duke is the pinnacle of the Yongning Marquis. .
Even if the descendants inherit multiple titles, if they inherit them in a reduced rank, the so-called weak can't beat a strong one, which can also prevent the effect of slight slowdown.
But, isn't it because the merits of Marquis Yongning are transferred to the two houses of Rongning and Ning with suspicion and precaution?
Zhao Mo, the Minister of Punishment, and Cen Weishan, the Minister of Punishment, thought about this and their thoughts moved slightly.
"Holy sage, sage, this method of combining filial piety and filial piety. Wei Chen once wrote a memorial. It can solve the troubles of inheritance and dispel the dilemma of filial piety. Now we are trying it on the Marquis of Yongning. We think it is an example for the world. Wei Chen thinks it is feasible." Yao Yu said with cupped hands. .
Zhao Mo cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty took pity on the two Dukes Rong and Ning. They ate bloodless incense and offered incense as a sacrifice in the ground. This method of blessing is so compassionate that I am inexplicably impressed by it."
This is the way to express support for Jianxi.
It was originally thought that the emperor had no checks and balances on Yongninghou, but now it seems that the emperor may have already considered the issue of whether he can be sealed if he makes contributions in the future.
In this way, they no longer need to take the risk of committing Yan Zhijian.
Among the officials in the palace, Ke Dao also had a look of joy on his face.
Some commentators also came out to agree and echo, showing a tacit understanding of what the people wanted.
At this moment, the shocking move of marrying the princess and the princess at the same time, but with the tacit understanding of checking and balancing Wu Xun, actually passed the Chen Han court in a calm manner.
This is called taking advantage of the situation and going with the flow.
In other words, Emperor Chongping's power and skill in controlling the court had reached the point of proficiency.
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and said: "In that case, the Marquis of Yongning will be the ruler of both Yongning and Yongning mansions. But since he is also the ruler, of course he should have a wife to match him. I have a daughter, Xianning, who has grown to a young age, is virtuous, virtuous, and has a harmonious character. Pure, he can be a good match for Marquis Yongning and inherit the lineage of Ning Kingdom."
At this moment, the emperor was introducing his daughter with some strange thoughts.
His daughter is sometimes like a boy, and has nothing to do with words like Xian Shuyonghe, and now she also seems to be boasting a little bit.
Ministers: "..."
Therefore, the emperor wanted to marry Princess Xianning to Jia Heng as his wife, and went through such a big circle just for this.
A sudden realization dawned on my mind.
Some of the courtiers who had just agreed to the method of holding Jia Heng hostage felt that their thighs had been broken and they felt secretly regretful.
The younger Ke Dao inevitably felt a twinge of jealousy in his heart.
What an honor it is for a young martial artist to be worthy of a princess and become a relative of the emperor. Moreover, this young martial artist already has a wife.
In order to marry a daughter, the Holy One can come up with both ways to block Youyou's mouth.
Some courtiers want to speak out against it, but if they change their tune after the words have just been spoken, they are treacherous.
Most people don't have this face.
For a moment, all the ministers present had different thoughts and fell into calmness.
Han Huang frowned, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
The emperor really took great pains for Jia Ziyu.
In fact, he had just vaguely felt that something was wrong. The emperor indeed had a hidden agenda. In fact, this was also an imperial power trick to win over Jia Ziyu's heart. However, Jia Ziyu has since become a relative, and if he is banned from entering and leaving, will it harm the country?
Qin Ye, the Minister of Works below, paused for a moment and sighed secretly in his heart.
Her daughter mentioned this matter the day before yesterday, saying that the Xianning princess was probably going to marry Ziyu, but if she didn't want to
But what can his father-in-law say? Now the Nine-Five Supreme Being is also Zi Yu's father-in-law.
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment and continued: "As for the Rongguo lineage, I also have a niece who is still waiting to be named the princess of Qinghe. Now she is awarded to Jia Ziyu as his wife and heir to Rongguo."
As soon as these words came out, the officials in the palace were in an uproar.
Is there another one?
Marrying a princess is not enough, but also marrying a princess?
How kindly did the emperor treat Jia Ziyu?
Some young censor Yanguan couldn't help but feel the burning jealousy in their hearts at the thought of two beautiful and charming royal ladies marrying Jia Heng together.
"How dignified are you?" At this time, a censor said, and then came out of the class train and said: "I am a humble minister, Wu Jingqi, the censor of Zhejiang Province, died without knowing it."
Emperor Chongping frowned, his eyes flashing coldly.
Facing the attention of everyone in the palace, Wu Jingqi bowed his head and said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, it is astonishing for the emperor's daughter to serve the same husband with others. Now it is allowed that the daughter of the clan will still be the head wife, and one person can have three wives. Where is the dignity of the royal family? I think this is really unseemly, and I hope your Majesty will think again."
As soon as these words came out, the officials in the palace paused for a moment, and some wanted to agree. However, seeing the expression on the face of the middle-aged emperor sitting at the top, they endured it again.
Yao Yu hesitated for a moment and said: "If we use the method of taking care of both husband and wife, both of them will become the official wives. This is the etiquette system. The married daughters of the Tian family are the first to set an example and become a model for the world."
Wu Jingqi kowtowed and bowed again, saying: "Your Majesty, I think that the method of combining the ancestral art with the traditional Chinese medicine can be used by the people, but it is difficult to adapt to the heavenly family."
As soon as this statement came out, it seemed that it aroused controversy. The Li Ke frowned at Hu Yi and said: "If it is only suitable for the people and isolated from the heavenly family, then Yao Master's method will be combined. What’s the benefit of joining the dharma?”
It was originally intended to solve the turmoil in the court caused by the successor emperor having no heirs and the adoption of the same clan. If you don't use it in the Tian family, it will cause chaos in the rules of etiquette and law.
Otherwise, the emperor will make a fuss about naming his biological father emperor, and this method is to let you recognize your father, but you cannot give your biological father the title of emperor, otherwise the line of succession will be cut off and the court will be ruined.
Li Ke asked Hu Yi about the matter, and added with a calm expression: "Master Wu was the second person just now who agreed to apply this law to Yongning Marquis."
Wu Jingqi's face turned red and he hesitated: "I..."
This kind of repeated behavior is generally shameful.
But the Marquis of Yongning, who killed the slave chieftain, indeed had some extraordinary achievements. If he did not use the method of taking both sides, he would not be able to be sealed in the future, but would cause turmoil.
Mentioning this, Emperor Chongping turned his attention to Jia Zheng and said, "Where is Jia Qing, General Secretary of General Affairs?"
Hearing the emperor's call to inquire, Jia Zheng hurriedly left his duties and responded: "Your Majesty, I am here."
Just now, I had been listening to the officials in the palace discussing the issue of knighthood. Because I was from the Jia clan, in order to avoid suspicion, I could only listen and secretly worry.
Emperor Chongping pondered and said: "In the lineage of Rongguo, there is no one to inherit the incense of Rongguo. Jia Ziyu will inherit the incense of Rongguo. Jia Qing is the second wife of Rongguo. I am willing to agree."
When Jia Zheng heard this, his eyes were excited. He paused to pay homage and said in an impassioned voice: "Your Majesty, I am just asking for what I want. Our ancestors were rewarded by the Taizu of the Chen Han Dynasty and were granted the title of Duke. However, we and other descendants were unfilial and were expelled from the title due to sins. Our ancestors shook their heads and were humiliated under the Nine Springs, and their blood diet gradually faded away from their former glory. Today, my son Yuneng has been granted the title of Duke, and he has passed down the incense of his ancestors through the method of holding the ancestral temple. I am so grateful that I don’t know what to say."
As soon as these words came out, the officials in the palace looked a little strange, but they immediately felt the same way.
Jia Heng is of the Rongguo lineage, which means that after making meritorious service, the future heirs who will be ennobled will be of the Rongguo lineage, and because it is the inheritance of the Rongguo lineage, in order to show generosity, he will inevitably treat those who were originally of the Rongguo lineage. Kind treatment from relatives.
Judging from this situation, the downtrodden Rongguo Mansion has since recovered.
As for Jia Zheng's lineage, they were originally the second brother-in-law among the Jia clan despite losing their ancestral title. However, now that the Rongguo lineage has regained its family reputation, it will be able to compete with Yourong in the future. .
After hearing this, Emperor Chongping looked at Jia Zheng with a gentler look and said, "After Jia Qing becomes a meritorious minister, the court will not treat lightly the ministers who have made meritorious deeds for our great Han Dynasty."
Since the parties involved also agree, there is no major resistance to this matter.
Jia Zheng's voice was choked with sobs and he said: "I thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is so gracious. I am deeply grateful to you."
When Jia Zheng burst into tears, Emperor Chongping looked down at the civil and military ministers of the Han Dynasty who no longer knew what to say. He looked indifferent and said slowly: "Since it is decided that the Marquis of Yongning will be granted the title of third-class Duke, all the ministers will discuss the title to commend their merits. Exceptional achievement."
Ministers: "..."
Third class? Not a first-class gentleman?
So you are still suspicious?
Perhaps the Holy Spirit combines it, both to give grace and to restrict and prevent?
Perhaps it just shows that the emperor is still worried about Jia Ziyu's future inability to be sealed.
Also, who made Yongninghou so capable of fighting?
Yao Yu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, cupped his hands and said: "The Holy One has given me the title of Duke as a gift, and he has two houses in Ningrong and Ningrong. It can be said that the emperor's favor is so great that he is demoted to the third rank, which also has the effect of encouragement."
Everyone is indeed happy now, because Jia Heng married the princess and the princess. Although he is married to both the princess and the princess, he is still a man of great grace, so it is natural for his title to be reduced to the third level.
When Jia Heng has relatively small achievements, because he started as a third-class noble, and even married the daughter of a clan, he can be promoted more easily, and the credit can even be awarded to Ning and Rong.
Han Huang, the chief minister of the cabinet, was not as happy as some of the courtiers in the palace, but his heart was filled with a layer of gloom.
Jia Ziyu, who married Princess Xianning, was the consort and a relative.
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, then raised the next topic and said: "You ministers can discuss the title first. Since Yongning Marquis has been granted the title of Duke, he should have a title to praise his achievements and educate the world."
The Dukes of the Han Dynasty generally have one characteristic. They all have one character, not two characters. The eight founding Dukes all have one character. Of course, the legal system does not say that two characters are not allowed to be granted the title of Duke. It is just a common practice.
Zhao Mo, the Minister of Punishment, thought for a while, held an ivory jade wat, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think that Datong was called the land of Dai in ancient times, and Marquis Yongning can be named the Duke of Dai."
"Dai is a small country. Since it is of the third class, it should be given a slightly larger title. Why not call it the Duke of Jin?" Cen Weishan, the Minister of Punishment, said with a sarcastic look in his eyes.
Doesn’t the emperor favor Jia Ziyu? If the Duke of Jin is granted a title, then it will depend on what the clan and vassals think.
Shi, the Minister of War, pondered for a moment and said: "The titles of Jin and Chu are extremely noble, and many clans and vassal kings are granted to them. Since the founding of the country, it has been rare for people to grant the title of relatives of heroes. The ministers think that it is not appropriate to grant the title of Jin and Chu. If you want to, You can be granted the title of Duke of Yan."
Among the four princes and eight princes, only the Duke of Qi stands out, and he uses the title of the Great Kingdom of Qi, Chu, and Jin.
In fact, there is another reason why Dai Guo should not be ennobled. Unfortunately, Dai Guo Liu Heng became Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, so the word Dai seems to be easily associated with Dai Guo's self-reliance.
At this time, Zhao Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, said: "The natural title of Marquis Yongning has the word "Ning" in it, so it would be better to still be the Duke of Ning."
At this time, Fang Huan, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, said: "Then how can we talk about having both?"
Emperor Chongping listened to the ministers discussing the title, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since Han Qing is the leader of all officials, why doesn't he say a word?"
Han Huang thought for a while, became more serious, and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, forgive me. I just mentioned Dai Guogong, and I couldn't help but think of Li Jing's night attack on Yinshan in the Tang Dynasty, and I was distracted for a moment."
This is both an expression and a very subtle reminder that even outsiders can hardly understand at once.
Jia Ziyu can be named the Duke of Wei, and he will be loyal to Chen Han until his death, just like Li Jing was loyal to Li Tang, but he cannot be the Duke of Dai, or a relative like Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui.
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment and said: "Datong and Shuozhou were ancient dynasty places and were granted the title of Duke of Dai according to the system. However, Jia Ziyu's young martial arts may be able to become the military god of our Han Dynasty. In this case, according to Han Qing's words, he will be granted the title of Duke of Dai. The third-class Duke of Wei is here to encourage Jia Mao."
He had thought about several titles before, but after thinking about them, he didn't agree with them. It's not that there are no titles like Yan State and Wu State, but he always felt that they were not suitable for human ministers.
As for the founding of the country, only one Duke of Qi was granted the title.
Ziyu is still young and is not suitable for those titles.
The Duke of Wei, the third-level Wei Guo is just and suitable, and will be promoted to nobility one by one in the future.
Therefore, he won a victory in the first battle and killed Huang Taiji, got the emperor's daughter and the clan's daughter to marry together, and was promoted to the third rank of Duke for his remaining merits. Such reward for his merits was indeed a great favor from the emperor.
The court decision to ennoble Jia Heng has been decided for the time being, and Emperor Chongping said: "Xie and Pang have established special honors in Xuanhua, so they should also be ennobled, and the ministers can also discuss it."
After hearing the words, the ministers below also began to think about it.
There seems to be no problem in thanking Zai Yi for his contribution, or in a time when military affairs are usually weak, and he is granted the title of third-class marquis or first-class uncle. However, after being baptized by Jia Heng's great contribution, and after all, it is a Han military flag, not a Jurchen flag. Elite, a group of civil servants always feel the need to suppress them.
