"Ji Han Shu" says:

"At that time, the emperor ordered those who came to visit him to announce the imperial edict, posthumously honor the founding father of Jihan, and reward hundreds of officials and generals in the court. Everyone was happy."

"Only when I hear the names of the late Prime Minister Liang and others, I remember the difficulties of founding the country during the Han Dynasty and feel the loyalty and righteousness of my ancestors. I shed tears like a fountain. Such is the importance of sentiment and righteousness."

"When the emperor and his ministers saw Yong like this, they were immediately horrified, and they all felt respectful."

After Liu Yan was awarded the title, the next people who received promotions and promotions repeated the fixed process without any disturbance.

The recipients of today's rewards are basically generals in the military who have accumulated military exploits during their overseas campaigns over the years.

In addition, it was the first court meeting in Chang'an. After the woman's title was read out, an envoy was sent to deliver the seal and ribbon to the house.

There are also generals like King Jiang Wei who are guarding the key points in the east and cannot return to the court. They either have people be granted the title on their behalf, or the emperor sends angels to read out the policy to the army.

For Feng Junhou, what was a little embarrassing in the process of promotion was that not far away from the imperial censor who was holding the seal and ribbon for him, sat the censor Zhongcheng.

This censor, Zhongcheng, had a surname of Meng and a given name of Huo.

He has a daughter named Huawan.

She is the wife of Guan Suo, the general of Zhendong, and the lover of Feng Zhongduhu.

At this time, Censor Zhongcheng was looking at Feng Zhongduhu who was being conferred with a complex expression.

If it had been anyone else, his daughter would have been able to discern talents when Guan Suo was unknown, and he would have decided to make a private decision for life. In the end, Guan Suo lived up to his daughter and finally became famous.

If it were just the previous paragraph, it would be the template for Nanxiang opera that everyone loves to hear.

Unfortunately……

"It's just that I was interested in Feng Mingwen at the beginning!"

Meng Huo looked at the knighted Protector Feng Zhong in the middle of the hall, and his heart felt like a knife:

The youngest important minister of the Han Dynasty, who was originally his son-in-law, just slipped away from his hands.

The most disgusting thing is that, even though he clearly cannot become his son-in-law, he still refuses to let go of his daughter in the end. This is simply not a son-in-law!

Outsiders all said that his daughter had a keen eye and recognized talents, but as a master of Huawan, how could Meng Huo not know the twists and turns involved?

Although walking marriages are common among the Yi tribes in Nanzhong, it is also common for people to know their mother but not their father.

After all, before Grandpa Zhuge came over, each tribe had to find ways to increase its strength in order to prevent being annexed by others.

And population is the most important basis of strength.

So Meng Huo didn't care whose child his daughter wanted to have.

but……

It is really heartbreaking to lose a son-in-law who is the Protector of the Right Hussars.

Feng Zhongduhu stood up holding the seal ribbon. When he turned around, he accidentally saw Meng Huo's resentful eyes not far away, and he almost staggered in fright.

Compared with the complicated thoughts of Yushi Zhongcheng, Feng Zhongduhu's thoughts are much simpler.

Let your wife marry the other party's daughter, and then sleep with your wife's wife - my wife's wife is still my wife!

It can be seen from this that the operation of Feng Zhongduhu cannot be operated by non-P Club players, Grade A Zhanfan.

Now facing the uncle named wife who is actually his cheap uncle, even if Feng Zhongduhu is the ghost king of Nanzhong, he feels very weak in his heart.

I originally thought of just lingering for a while so that my legs, which had been sitting on my knees for too long, could relax more.

Now seeing Meng Huo's gaze, Feng Zhongduhu trotted back to his seat and sat down quietly.

The canonization ceremony ended earlier than Feng Zhongduhu imagined.

At the time of application, the visitors could only be heard shouting:

"Those with more than two thousand stones and those with special orders from the emperor will stay, and the rest will leave the palace!"

After receiving the edict, most of the courtiers stood up one after another, walked to the middle of the hall, lined up, paused, and then bowed their heads and walked out with quick little steps (that is, the worship dance).

Feng Zhongduhu watched with envy that the guys were liberated, and then took advantage of this good opportunity to quietly move his butt and legs again.

After all these people exited the hall, Xiao Huangmen and the chamberlain began to carry the tables into the hall, and then the food that had been prepared in the dining room was brought up like flowing water.

Smelling the aroma of food, many of the people who had been hungry for a long time swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.

It has to be said that in the entire Han Dynasty, except for the palace of Protector Feng Zhong, the food in the palace is probably the most exquisite.

In Guanzhong in October, the nights are long and the days are short. It is not that cold during the day, but as soon as the sun turns west, the cold becomes faint.

The hot pot is made of brass, and the milky white soup inside is bubbling, and it is burned with high-quality smokeless charcoal.

Evenly thick slices of mutton, snow-white fish breasts, fresh deer breasts, perfectly braised beef, and even bear paws.

As for pork, chicken, goose and duck, let alone meat.

As for drinks, there is peach wine, a specialty of Liangzhou, and honey wine from Nanxiang.

Of course, if you want to drink something strong, that's okay too.

There is also rice wine that just came out in the past two years.

I heard that this is a new type of mead brewed from grains. It has a mellow, soft and refreshing taste that makes people unable to put down the glass.

This kind of wine is more popular than Nanxiang's honey wine.

Compared with the previous turbid wine, which was also brewed from grains, I don't know how much higher it is.

Since Liangzhou became self-sufficient in food, the Han Dynasty's prohibition on alcohol has been continuously relaxed.

It is definitely not allowed to make wine rice without permission. Once discovered, it will be a serious crime.

But if you are willing to spend money and buy koji from the government, you can make wine.

The price of koji is a bit high. First, it limits the waste of food. Second, it includes tax.

Not to mention drinking it yourself, it doesn't matter even if you sell it - as long as you think that the wine you brew can be compared with mead, rice wine or even peach wine.

Without distillation or filtration, the wine made by ordinary people is very turbid.

And the color of the turbidity is random, including gray, gray-green, green, bright green...

When you drink it, it tastes sour, astringent, and tastes different.

The difference between a good wine and a bad one depends on who can minimize the sourness in the wine.

Not to mention the Han Dynasty, even in the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years later, the wine made by ordinary people still looked like this.

Otherwise, how could there be a poem about "the wine glass is still empty when it is full of new energy"?

Let alone the Three Kingdoms, how can it be compared with honey wine, yellow wine, and peach wine?

Therefore, even though the ministers in the palace are all pillars of the country, they still can't help but twitch their index fingers when they see these dazzling wines and delicacies.

Next to each table, a palace maid is assigned to serve someone specially.

As for the officials outside the palace, they naturally did not receive such preferential treatment.

However, since hot pot is also served - although it uses coal - there is no need to eat cold food.

After setting up the banquet, the maid kneeling beside the table to serve asked in a voice like a warbler:

"May I ask what kind of wine you want to drink?"

"Putto Bar."

Wine is not Feng Zhongduhu's favorite, but if he has to drink it, drinking peach wine and rice wine is the best choice.

However, Feng Zhongduhu prefers sweet wine, so he chose peach wine.

The chilled peach wine was slowly poured into the jade porcelain cup. The red and white complemented each other. In addition, the jade hand pouring the wine was as tender as green onions - the little fat man was a playful person.

The first glass of wine was started by the emperor.

But when he saw Adou raising his glass, he congratulated:

"Congratulations to the great man!"

All the ministers raised their glasses and shouted:

"Congratulations to the great man!"

After drinking the cup together, Feng Junhou immediately took a large piece of mutton from the hot pot and put it directly into his mouth without dipping it in the sauce.

I've been hungry all day, and there's nothing in my stomach. I feel like my heart is in front of my back.

Anyway, it was not his turn to be the first to toast the little fat man.

I saw Liu Yong, the king of Ganling, standing up to raise his glass and said loudly:

"I congratulate Your Majesty!"

The little fat man was extremely happy and also raised his glass: "Drink to win!"

Seeing that Feng Zhongdu was eating in a hurry, the serving maid took out a few slices of meat from the hot pot very considerately, put them into the sauce bowl, dipped them in them, and then blew them a few more times before putting them on Feng Zhongdu. In the protective bowl.

The service was very attentive, at least compared to when Feng Zhongduhu was dining at his own house and had to take the initiative to pick up food for his wife from time to time.

Unfortunately, Feng Zhongduhu was too hungry and only saw food. He stopped the palace maid from continuing to pick up food for him.

The food was stingy and I couldn't get enough.

It’s still fun to eat by yourself.

Being urged to practice martial arts by General Zhendong every morning, Feng Zhongduhu's appetite was not as good as usual.

Like the wind and the lingering clouds, by the time Wei Yan, who was sitting in front, was congratulating himself, Feng Zhongduhu had already eaten most of the bear's paw.

After Wei Yan sat down, Zhong Duhu wiped his lips and raised his glass. Just as he stood up, the emperor spoke first:

"The Protector of Zhongdu has an outstanding literary talent. On such a grand occasion, why not write an article to remember it?"

"Over the years, the name of Zhongduhu has been spread throughout the world. Thieves are famous and all are afraid of him. However, those who have military skills must use literary skills."

"I haven't heard of Zhongduhu's new work for a long time. If Zhongduhu can write an article at this time, it will be the best congratulatory message."

Hearing this, Protector Feng Zhong was immediately startled and looked up at the little fat man.

But when he saw that round face was already flushed, he didn't know whether he was drunk or drunk.

Or maybe he really believed that his brother-in-law could write a good article on the spot.

"good!"

Before Feng Zhongduhu spoke, the ministers in the palace were already cheering loudly.

After Cao Zijian, the world's literary power fell into a stone's throw, and Feng Mingwen dominated eight battles.

The combination of civil and military forces in the Han Dynasty made the Han Dynasty more and more convinced that the Han Dynasty would prosper three times.

Adou's decision to move the capital to Chang'an so quickly was a sign of his confidence.

Everyone looked at Zhong Duhu and found that Zhong Duhu looked a little stunned.

It seems that he did not expect that His Majesty would make this request.

It was just that everyone was in high spirits, and no one seemed to doubt the literary talent of the Central Protector.

But Jiang Wan smiled and said:

"I was not able to come to the formation in person to admire the heroic appearance of Zhongdu Hu in leading the army to defeat the bandits, but if I could be here and see Zhongdu Hu writing a composition, it would be enough to make up for the regret in my heart!"

The first glass of wine was taken on an empty stomach. As soon as the drunkenness started to rise, the atmosphere in the hall began to become a little warm.

"Yes, yes!"

"The Protector of the Central Government, please show off your literary talent and let us take a look."

After all, Feng Zhongduhu had been leading the army for many years. Faced with this scene, he quickly restrained his emotions and bowed to the little fat man:

"Your Majesty has an order, how dare I disobey it?"

"good!"

Some people have already started patting the case and cheering.

Zhongduhu took a sip of red wine and then walked to the middle of the hall.

step……

Which one is better to memorize?

In recent years, he has seldom recited poems and composed poems, because as he became more integrated into this era, the events of his previous life were increasingly forgotten.

If I hadn't written down a lot of things and hid them in boxes a few years ago when I first came here, I might have made a fool of myself in public this time.

Two steps...

Everyone began to quiet down and looked at Protector Feng Zhong who was in deep thought.

Three steps...

After taking another sip of wine, Feng Junhou finally spoke:

"The wind thunders at the command, and the sky shakes the earth."

"Driving across Heluo in a long way, heading straight towards Yanyou."

"Horses stir up the blood of thieves, and flags curl up to disrupt the bandits' heads."

"Return to register as the master and restore the old China."

"color!"

Everyone cheered loudly, and the clapping of the case became louder and louder.

A poem in three steps, a poem in three steps!

He is indeed much stronger than Cao Zijian.

The little fat man was so happy that he almost lost his sight.

Those last two sentences simply scratched the itch in his heart, making him unable to help but stand up, raise his glass and say to Feng Zhongduhu:

"Zhongduhu, this cup is my tribute to you, please drink it!"

The emperor personally toasted, making all the ministers in the palace envious.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Feng Zhongduhu raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp before returning to his seat and sitting down.

Regardless of the glances from the palace maid, Feng Zhongduhu breathed out a sigh of relief regardless of his appearance.

At the same time, I silently thanked the teacher of the elective course on poetry appreciation in college as usual - although I could no longer remember his name.

Even if they can stay in the palace, not everyone is qualified to congratulate the emperor.

After waiting for the qualified nobles and important ministers to congratulate him, he heard the emperor issue an edict:

"Play music and dance!"

At the same time, he also specifically ordered, "Sing the hymn that the Protector just recited."

The palace became more and more lively.

Seeing an opportunity, Protector Feng Zhong quietly left the hall under the pretext of changing his clothes.

On the west side of the front hall of Weiyang Palace are the offices of central government offices such as the Shangshutai, as well as royal offices such as the Shaofu Palace.

Feng Zhongduhu was familiar with this area for a long time. He was following behind the small yellow door and went to use the toilet when he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind:

"Zhongduhu!"

Protector Feng Zhong turned around to see clearly who was following him, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Brother!"

There are only three or four people in the world who can make the leader of the Xinghan Association call "Brother", and Zhuge Qiao is one of them.

Logically speaking, the title of Marquis of Wuxiang of the Zhuge family should be inherited by Zhuge Qiao.

But Zhuge Qiao refused and gave it to the little brat Zhuge Zhan.

So today, when I went to court to receive the title, Zhuge Qiao came first on behalf of Zhuge Zhan, and secondly, on behalf of the Prime Minister's wife to express my gratitude - the Prime Minister's wife had contributed to the country's skills and was awarded the title of Lord Guangwu.

"Is your health okay, madam?"

Zhuge Qiao was a little happy when he heard that Feng Yong still called him "brother", which was no different from before.

But when he heard the other party take the initiative to mention his mother, he couldn't help but calm down and sighed softly:

"It's still the same as before. Ever since you passed away, my mother has been depressed and depressed, and her body is not as good as before."

Protector Feng Zhong nodded:

"When I have free time in two days, I will go to the house with Sanniang to visit Madam."

The Prime Minister's wife studied "Lu Ban Shu" before, which caused some damage to her body.

Although she was nursed back to health later, she gave birth to Zhuge Zhan at an advanced age.

After several twists and turns, the body has been irreversibly damaged.

This is nothing serious. According to her physical condition, as long as she pays some attention, nothing serious should happen.

It was just God's will that the death of the prime minister dealt a very heavy blow to her. It is said that she even fell seriously ill in Hanzhong.

The Prime Minister's wife only came to Chang'an in the past few days because her body has not recovered.

"It's clear that we are serious about it."

"That's right. The Prime Minister regards me as his disciple, the Madam as her nephew, and Sanniang as her daughter. If it were not inconvenient, Sanniang and I would like to stay by Madam's side every day and listen to her teachings."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qiao looked at Feng Yong, with a look on his face that included relief, joy, and relief:

"My mother once said that one of the proudest things in her life was letting Sanniang follow you. In her eyes, you are different from others."

"I also know that you are in a high position and are busy with official duties, but if you can take some time to visit her when you are free, my mother will definitely be happy."

Feng Yong nodded, looked at Zhuge Qiao, and sighed in his heart that this brother is really a rare and honest gentleman:

"Brother, what are your plans for the future?"

Zhuge Qiao was specially transferred from Nanzhong by Feng Yong and temporarily served as the grain and grass officer of the Guanzhong army.

Now that the Liangzhou Army has been incorporated into the Central Army, Zhuge Qiao has also been promoted to General Yu Lin Zhonglang due to his accumulated merits.

But seeing that Zhuge Qiao insisted on giving up the prime minister's title of Marquis of Wuxiang to Zhuge Zhan, it seems that he also wanted to become a Marquis on his own.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Qiao shook his head and said:

"I haven't thought about it yet. Besides, my mother is not in good health. I want to stay in Chang'an and take care of my mother. It's not a bad idea."

Feng Yong did not agree with his idea:

"The prime minister has devoted his whole life to reviving the Han Dynasty. Even if his old man is seriously ill, he will not let his wife and you come to visit him."

"Brother is the prime minister's eldest son, how can he be inactive and not enterprising? Brother, I should inherit the ambition of my ancestors without losing filial piety."

"As for my wife, I don't have to worry. Since I am now the Protector of the Central Government, I cannot leave Chang'an lightly. How can it be that Sanniang and I can't take care of my wife?"

Zhuge Qiao heard this and knew that Feng Yong wanted to recommend him, so he couldn't help but show hesitation on his face:

"This... I am mediocre, I am afraid that I have failed to live up to my expectations."

"I am born with talents, brother, why should I be humble? Now that the Han Dynasty is regaining the old land, it is the time when we need my help. Do you want to shrink back?"

Zhuge Qiao was speechless and smiled bitterly when Feng Yong said this. He pointed at Feng Yong:

"I can't help you, but even if I want to contribute, I have to have a suitable position, right? It's not like..."

"There are many positions, but the governor's office of Bingzhou lacks a long history. I think my brother is suitable. If he is interested, I will recommend him."

Now the Han army is divided into two parts, the central army and the local county troops.

The Central Army is divided into two parts. The one stationed in Chang'an and near Chang'an is the central army of the Central Army.

The Central Army stationed in various prefectures and counties is the foreign army of the Central Army.

Most foreign armies are stationed at the border, so they can also be called border armies, and are led by generals directly appointed by the central government.

Ma Dai, for example, is currently leading five thousand foreign troops to garrison Shangdang.

The troops that the governor's offices in various places can control are local county soldiers.

To put it simply, it is the separation of military and political affairs.

Of course, the integration of military and government cannot be ruled out - such as the Governor's Mansion.

Also, for example, Deng Zhi, the governor of Bingzhou, had the title of General Youwei, so he also had the power to unite the troops and horses of Bingzhou to conduct conquests.

However, Wang Ping and Liu Hun, who led the troops in Bingzhou, were already considered generals in the Central Military Ranks, and could no longer serve as chief historians of the governor's office.

"Shi, the governor of Bingzhou?"

Although Zhuge Qiao was not a man of outstanding intelligence, he had been influenced by the Prime Minister for so many years. When he heard Feng Junhou's words, he immediately said jokingly:

"You have just been granted the title of Marquis of Pingcheng County, and now you want me to go to Bingzhou to serve as the governor. Do you want me to look after the fiefdom for you?"

He said it casually, but Feng Zhongduhu smiled slightly:

"Brother knows me."

ps:

To clarify an inherent impression:

In the Han Dynasty, there were actually shorts, called trousers, which were divided into short trousers and long trousers.

The short skirt is also called the calf nose skirt. According to "Historical Records", Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun wore this kind of clothes when they were selling wine.

There is also a kind of long skirt, similar to our current beach shorts, which covers all the way to the knees.

The hakama is generally worn by soldiers, servants, and farmers when working. It is also called poor hakama.

There is another kind, which is similar to the trousers we wear now, called hakama pleats, which must be worn by cavalry.

Personally, I think it should have been there when riding and shooting in Hufu, otherwise, the cavalry would not be able to ride for a long time.

Most readers should have never ridden a horse. If they have, they should have a deep understanding. If the ancient cavalry did not wear hakama pleats, the inner thighs would be bruised and bloody.

By the Northern and Southern Dynasties, hakama pleats had become a trend, and some people even wore them to court in the Jin Dynasty.

The last type is called hakama, also called shank. This is the underwear that most readers think is similar to stockings worn by ancient people.

With the promotion of Nanxiang Textile in this book, it is not surprising that the hakama and trousers were combined into one and became crotchless pants.

So don’t worry about whether certain sitting positions will reveal things that shouldn’t be exposed.

There is also an issue of superiority and inferiority.

This question depends on the dynasty.

Moreover, even within the same dynasty, contradictory conclusions can be drawn. There is no absolute conclusion, and arguments for days and nights cannot convince the other party.

Many people think that in the Western Han Dynasty, the right was superior to the left and the left was inferior, while in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the left was superior to the right and the right was inferior.

The setting of this book is that Ji Han followed the Eastern Han Dynasty's habit of being superior to the left and inferior to the right.

Moreover, Liu Bei founded the country with the position of General Zuo. Ma Chao persuaded him to be ranked first in the list, and later he was granted the title of General Zuo. This can also be explained.
