After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, after the initial restraint, the atmosphere at the banquet finally became lively.
"What do you think of today's dish, Gong Xi?" Yang Qing, who was at the main seat, took a piece of fish and slowly chewed it into his belly, then asked Dong Jue with a smile.
Dong Jue put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "The fruits, vegetables, wine and meat are all delicious, and Jue's stomach is almost full."
"As long as Gong Xi likes it. These are local dishes from Qiongdu. They have a different flavor compared to those in Sichuan. Especially these fish meats are all fresh fish from Qiongchi. The meat is more thorny and less thorny, so it is quite delicious." Yang Qing heard this and laughed. A smile.
Dong Jue nodded, raised his glass and said, "Jue, I'd like to offer you another glass of wine. Thank you very much for your hospitality."
"As long as Gong Xi likes it, please."
"Master Fu, I wonder when the chiefs of the Qingqiang tribes will arrive in Qiongdu?" Dong Jue asked after finishing his drink in one gulp, putting down his glass.
This time he came to Nanzhong to reward the meritorious ministers of the Southern Expedition, and he would also confer Gulichi as the king of the city. Therefore, all the Qingqiang tribes had to send people to Qiongdu to witness this important event, so this matter had to wait a little longer. time.
Yang Qing didn't know the specific time, so he looked at Wang Yi who was looking down and informed the tribes that he was handling the matter and he knew the details best.
Wang Yi understood and said to Dong Jue opposite: "Two days ago, the county received a notification from Ling Shi. He immediately arranged for people to go to the Qingqiang tribes to inform them. Calculating the distance, they must have seven or eight days to reach Qiongdu. .”
"I see, it's your turn to be the Duke of Lao." Dong Jue cupped his hands and said.
"I don't dare, I should." Wang Yi quickly raised his hand and returned the salute: "Don't worry, Shi. You can rest in Qiongdu these few days. If you are bored, you can also go to Qiongdu. The beautiful scenery of Qiongchi is one of the best in the area. Absolutely, Ling Shi must not miss it."
"Haha, the prince said so, you should go and have a look."
Dong Jue smiled, then toasted to Yang Qing and Dong Jue and said, "Master and prince, please."
"Please." The two of them responded.
After all, Dong Jue didn't stay in Yuexi for too long. After successfully completing the reward for Gu Lichi, he rushed to Yongchang, Yunnan, Jianning and other places without stopping. Next, he also wanted to reward Li Hui and Lu Kai. , Wang, his wife and others gave awards.
Yang Qing already knew the contents of the rewards for these people. Li Hui was granted the title of Prefect of Jianning for pacifying Yizhou County and was granted the title of Marquis of Xingting in Han Dynasty. Lu Kai was granted the title of Prefect of Yunnan due to his meritorious service and was granted the title of Marquis of Yangqian Ting. Wang and his wife were also granted the title of Marquis of Tingting for their persistence in the city. For meritorious service, he paid homage to the prefect of Yongchang and was granted the title of Marquis of Ting. Ma Zhong formally paid homage to the prefect of Xangkou because he pacified Xangkou County.
At this point, the great rebellion in Nanzhong initiated by Yong Kai, Gao Ding, and Zhu Bao has finally been successfully resolved. From now on, Nanzhong will no longer have the power to launch such a massive rebellion, and Nanzhong will also become a stable place for the imperial court. The rear area will contribute abundant military resources for the future Northern Expedition.
"Greetings to Mr. Fu."
Yang Qing got off his horse and looked at An Shangcheng, which he had not seen for a long time. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Two years ago, he started here to eliminate haute couture and recover Yuexi. Here he once recruited refugees, trained sergeants, and opened workshops. , Encouraging teaching and farming, this city has put a lot of effort into this city, and it also left him with an indelible memory.
He had not returned to this place for a long time since the recovery of Qiongdu. Now that he was visiting his old place again, he couldn't help but feel particularly friendly when looking at the familiar city walls and moats.
"You don't have to be polite." Yang Qingxu gave Lu Shen, Gu Lichi and others a hand to stand up.
It is now the fourth year of spring in Jianxing. The grass is growing and the orioles are flying, the wind is warm and the flowers are blooming. Everything is full of life.
The earth has regained its vitality, the man has also regained his vitality, and it is time to embark on a new journey in the new year.
Three months have passed since the first batch of Qingqiang tribe moved to Hanzhong, and now all preparations have been completed. Today is the day they set off for the North, so Yang Qing came here to see them off.
According to the established strategy, all the tribes moving north are moving to Anshang, and then they will all set out from Anshang to go north to Hanzhong.
Now tens of thousands of Qingqiang people have gathered outside Beicheng, coming from seven tribes of different sizes. They carry large and small bags of luggage, and their faces are full of hope, of course mixed with some nervousness, reluctance and confusion. .
Yang Qing led the civil and military officials and tribal chiefs into a large tent, where more than a dozen tables had been placed, and wine, meat, fruits and vegetables had been laid out.
"Today is North (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 201 Migration to the North
It's a good day to move to Hanzhong. On my behalf, all the officials from Yue and Yi would like to have a cup of wine with the Lord Yi and all the clan chiefs. Yang Qing said loudly while holding the wine glass.
Everyone also raised their wine glasses and said in return: "Your Majesty, please."
"For the second glass of wine, I would like to offer a toast to the Qingqiang people. They are about to go north to Hanzhong to raise troops and help the farmers for our Han Dynasty. It is a long way to go. I wish them a safe journey." Yang Qing said again: "Chief Gulichi, you are As the Lord of Qingqiang Yi, you will drink this wine on behalf of all the people."
Gu Lichi stood up with the wine glass and said excitedly: "We are so moved by Mr. Fu's love and care. Without Mr. Fu's great kindness, there would be no chance for us to leave the poor and harsh place and go to the land of prosperity. This glass I should wait for Mr. Jingfu to drink."
Yang Qing smiled happily and said, "Haha, I'll drink with you, please."
"Master Fu, please."
After eating a few mouthfuls of food to suppress his drunkenness, Yang Qing toasted a third glass of wine: "Your Majesty, Magistrate Lu and all the officials in my clan, I dedicate this glass of wine to you. You have worked hard these days. "
Wang Yi, as the leader of all the officials present, led everyone to stand up and said: "This is what we should do, how dare we say we are suffering?"
Yang Qing nodded, said no more, and drank the wine together with the officials.
After three glasses of wine, Yang Qing had finished saying what he wanted to express, so he let everyone relax. For a while, the banquet was filled with people drinking and laughing.
"Your Majesty, are the escort personnel and materials ready?" Yang Qing looked at Wang Yi, who was on the lower left, and asked.
"Returning to the mansion, you are ready."
"That's good, I feel relieved." Yang Qing nodded and said with a smile.
For this relocation of the Qingqiang tribe, the county dispatched 300 soldiers to escort the move, and also brought in hundreds of large and small vehicles to help transport all kinds of luggage.
"By the way, why haven't you seen Xie Cao?" Yang Qing suddenly asked Wang Yi.
"Xie Caopu is still outside making final preparations before departure, so he will attend the banquet in the future."
Yang Qing said: "Just let the subordinates below do these things. Why let him, Cao Tong, be busy? There is no need to rush this matter for a while. He will be tired later."
The officer in charge of escorting the Qiang people to migrate this time was Hucao Xie Ning. He had to escort them all the way to Hanzhong before returning. He would also be responsible for handling the affairs of the counties along the way, which was a heavy responsibility.
Wang Yi said with a smile: "That's what So-and-so said, but he said he wouldn't worry if he didn't go by himself, so So-and-so had to let him go."
"Well, serving the country wholeheartedly is respectable and praiseworthy." Yang Qing looked pleased. Through his own example, the atmosphere in Yuexi's officialdom was getting better and better.
"When he comes back from Hanzhong, his position should be moved."
Yang Qing's voice was very low, but Wang Yi still heard the words clearly. He was also happy for Xie Ning in his heart, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
In the afternoon, a group of Qingqiang immigrants officially set off for the north. Yang Qing led a group of people to see them off and saw that they were in good order, so they returned with peace of mind.
