Because of the Japanese riots in Jiangnan, no previous palace banquets were held.
Now Jia Lian, Qi Bei, and Yan Yuanying have joined forces to achieve a great start to the new year, which is a shot in the arm for Liu Heng, who originally had no intention of celebrating the new year.
At the same time as the announcement of the victory, an imperial edict was spread throughout the capital: On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, King Wu of the capital could not help but give a banquet to the royal family members, civil and military officials, envoys from various vassal states, and elders in the capital!
Jia Cong got into the carriage with a mournful face. He was doubly shocked by the brand-new classics, historical texts and other gifts in his arms.
"We were having a good chat, why did we suddenly poison us?"
We were having a good time chatting in the Qinzheng Hall about his second brother Jia Lian repeatedly intersecting the killing of Japanese pirates. I don’t know how the emperor was stimulated, but suddenly he asked Xia Shouzhong to go to the Hanlin Academy in person to select several sets of classics and contemporary works, and stuffed them all into the excitement. fatty.
What's even more outrageous is that the emperor also issued an oral order, ordering Jia Cong to write a review every ten days and send it to the palace, where he would personally review it.
What is the difference between this and giving out "three years of simulated five years of real questions" during the Chinese New Year? Z.br>
Crackling...
Jia Cong lifted the car curtain, and many shops on both sides hung long firecrackers at the door and set off with crackling sounds.
"Zhejiang Guild Hall? Fujian Guild Hall? Oh, and Nanzhili Guild Hall... It seems that the people in Jiangnan hate the Japanese pirates with all their heart!"
Hearing Jia Cong's muttering, Jia Shiyi smiled and said: "That's natural. I heard that Yuyao and Shangyu are fine. Most of the people hid in the county and escaped. Ningbo Prefecture is in misery. Nine out of ten houses are empty!"
"It's a pity that I returned to Beijing, otherwise I would be like my second brother, killing the Japanese pirates with pleasure!"
"The second master is indeed impressive. Who would have thought that the gentle and elegant second master Lian would have such a brave side!"
Jia Shiyi watched Jia Lian and Jia Cong grow up. He thought he was very familiar with the two young masters, but now it seems that they all missed them.
The young master with peach blossom eyes turned out to be the "living king of hell" in the mouth of the Japanese pirates. Tsk tsk, the general will be so shocked that he won't even be able to close his mouth!
The Pardon Master held in his hand the letter brought back by the courier reporting the victory, his mouth wide open and he hesitated to speak.
"Is this my fucking son?"
After a long time, Master Pardon couldn't help but murmured: "Is Lian'er so powerful? Did you learn this repeated fighting method from me?"
Suddenly, he burst out laughing and said proudly: "He is indeed the son of my Marquis Jia En. Although he only learned 30% of my knowledge, he was able to travel across the south of the Yangtze River and kill the enemy to serve the country... Come on, my son has won a great victory. Everyone in the house will be rewarded with one month's worth of money. Brother Cong, please go ahead and arrange a banquet to invite guests. Your father and I are going to invite all the martial artists in the capital to a banquet!"
"Ah, yes, yes!"
Although Jia Cong was speechless about his father's shamelessness, he still made fun of him and complimented him: "Second brother has obtained the true story of his father. He only has 30,000 Japanese pirates, and he can capture them easily? He must hold a banquet to invite guests. Uncle Niu boasted last time about how big his family is." Lang wiped out a thousand-man army in Liaodong, daddy, we must defeat Uncle Niu!"
"Hahahaha...my son understands me!"
The father and son chatted in the room for a long time, and then they took the transcribed Lubu victory report and Jia Lian's autograph letter, and walked towards the Rongxi Hall with the steps of disowning their relatives.
The New Year atmosphere in Ning and Rong Mansion this year is obviously stronger than in previous years. In the past few days, many people from various families went to Rongguo Mansion to pay New Year greetings.
Jia Lian was away, and Jia Cong and Jia Huan were still young, so most of the reception and delivery matters were left to the reluctant Jia Baoyu.
As he watched the guests board the carriage and leave, a gust of cold wind blew by, and Jia Baoyu, who was wrapped like a big red envelope, shivered and muttered: "It's so cold, why doesn't Brother Lian come back? I'm freezing to death."
Jia Baoyu, who had just sent away a family of in-laws, was about to go back when he heard the clatter of horse hooves.
Crunch…
A group of Han generals escorted a carriage and stopped in front of Jia Baoyu. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Xia Shouzhong walked out with a smile.
"It turns out to be Mr. Bao. Our family has come to deliver the edict. Please go and inform your uncle quickly and set up the incense table to welcome the edict!"
Jia She did not expect that the emperor would be so impatient, and issued an order to reward the meritorious soldiers before the imperial court officially opened the seal after the Lantern Festival.
The middle door of Rongguo Mansion slowly opened. Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Cong and other men from the Jia family, followed by the old lady and other female family members, and even a few old in-laws who were paying New Year's greetings at Rongguo Mansion, all stood in front of Rongguo Mansion. In front of the vestibule.
After a few words of greeting, Xia Shouzhong took an imperial edict with a colorful dragon pattern from the hand of the little chamberlain behind him, and loudly announced: "Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion accepts the edict!"
Jia She took a step forward, knelt in front of the incense table, and said solemnly: "Jia She, I will accept the order on behalf of my son Jia Lian!"
Wow...
Behind him, Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu, Jia Cong and others all knelt down and shouted long live.
Just listen to Xia Shouzhong's announcement: "The imperial edict says, I only manage the world with literature and quell chaos with force. Military commanders and generals are the mainstay of the imperial court and the stronghold of the country. They are able to do both civil and military affairs, and they can repay their efforts without losing their achievements." Jia Zhi is destined to be favored. You, Jia Lian of the Rongguo Mansion, defeated the enemy alone, defeated the thieves with clever strategies, boosted the morale of our army, and deterred the barbarians. He made great contributions to the court. Jia Zhi rewarded his merits. I specially named Jia Lian, the crown prince of Rong En Bo, the Rongguo Mansion, as the capital of light vehicles. Wei, General Huaiyuan, and the commander of Youwuwei gave him a golden sword, a golden armor, and a precious horse. He gave him a royal seal and his wife, and also issued a special order to honor her. He was deeply attached to Yuan Rong's heroic achievements and announced to China, and he was fumigated with the bravery of Zhaolu cloth. Xi Wu Bian, plus Pi Ji, I admire this."
Damn it!
Jia Cong, who was kneeling on the ground listening to the order, almost said "Fuck" to express his inner shock. The second brother's victory really tickled the emperor's itch, and he was suddenly promoted from the temporary fifth-grade thousand households to the third-grade actual duty. A military commander can simply be described as rising from the ground.
In fact, this is not to blame Liu Heng for giving too many rewards. He was really slapped in the face too hard a few days ago. Just a few days after taking office, the Japanese invaders in Jiangnan captured the government. The capital was turned upside down by the Huo family colluding with the White Lotus Sect and Japanese pirates.
Some people in the capital began to spread rumors that the current emperor was not recognized by the destiny of heaven, so there was Japanese rebellion in both the north and the south...
Jia Lian's battle of annihilation in which a small number defeated a large number showed the bravery of Daxia, the prosperity of the country, and the emperor's command and wisdom.
After all, the victory report clearly stated that Wen Lian, the imperial envoy of Governor Jiangnan, said that Jiangnan was corrupt and Japanese pirates were rampant. Fortunately, the emperor was majestic, knew the virtuous and appointed well, and had clever plans to calm the army and send good generals and ministers...
He was a scholar of the second grade of Wenlian and a great talent from the Hanlin Academy. The victory report was naturally eloquent and attributed Jia Lian's military service and the wonderful combination of Qi Bei, Yan Yuanying and Jia Lian to the emperor.
Anyway, it’s just a sentence. Your Majesty sent me to the south of the Yangtze River. Jia Lian and others are your Majesty’s ministers. Naturally, His Majesty takes the lead in winning the war!
After Xia Shouzhong read out the imperial edict again to confer Wang Xifeng, the entire Rongguo Mansion was boiling. Jia She and Jia Zheng drank a cup of tea with Xia Shouzhong, gave the eunuch a big red envelope, put him on the carriage, and then looked at each other.
There was a lot of envy on Jia Zheng's face. Brother Lian was already in the third rank, so he could wear a purple goldfish bag. As for myself, I am still just a fifth-grade Yuanwailang...
If Pearl were still alive, perhaps she would have become a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy!
Jia Zheng looked a little lonely, but he congratulated his eldest brother politely: "Brother, congratulations!"
"Joy and rejoice together!"
Jia She was so happy that he forgot about the overt and secret fight between the two brothers in the early years. He laughed loudly and patted Jia Zheng on the shoulder: "Lian'er is also the nephew of the second brother. He has made great achievements, so he is also serving as your second uncle. Do you want to save face? Let’s go have a drink!”
