Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 855
Everything is carried out in strict accordance with the relevant regulations and procedures.The civil and military officials of Xiangfu Kingdom have already adapted to Ye Chen's habits. They rarely utter obscure nonsense in their memorials and presentations. People can understand what it means as soon as they hear it, and they will never be confused.

Ye Chen sat on the throne, listening to it with gusto, filled with emotions in his heart, and at the same time he was ambitious for the coming year.

After the summary report, because of Ye Chen's insistence, the entire set of procedures at the Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting was much simpler than that of the Song Dynasty, and today's highlight was directly launched to reward the meritorious officials.

The titles adopted by Xiangfu Kingdom are the same as that of Song Dynasty. The titles from high to low are Prince, Heir King, County King, State Duke, County Duke, County Duke, County Marquis, County Boss, County Son, and County Male.And in view of the long time to come, avoid the situation that there will be no rewards in the future.The highest title awarded this time is only the county marquis.

And because His Majesty the Emperor values ​​hard work and merit, there is actually not much suspense about the size of the title.

Since the founding of the country, Yang Jiye, Bai Canghai, Hu Sanguang, Han Xizai, Ma Wentao, and Li Junhao, who have made the most outstanding contributions since the founding of the country, were named the founding marquis of Wuwei County, Qingshui County, Ping'an County, Tianma County, The founding marquis of Chenfeng County and the founding marquis of Jingyuan County each had five hundred households.

Zhan Xiongwu, Li Guangshun, Han Hu, Tuoba Gelu, Zhang Dawei, Deng Chongxuan, Xu Xuan, Zhang Bo, Jia Xian, Hei Yue, Lian Jicheng, Zeng Shangfei, and Yu Wen were the county magistrates of the founding of the country. household.

Zhe Yuxun, Wang Chao, Kou Zhun, Wu Zhiyuan, Feng Gang, Zhou Xin, Liu Jinyuan, Du Qianqiu, Shiwa, Huang Louping, Huang Dongqiu, Yang Yanqing, and Yang Yanguang were the sons of the founding county, with two hundred households in Shiyi.

More than 30 civil and military officials including Wang Dongyang and other ministers, Tian Jiumi, Minister of Agriculture, Xu Kegang, Tang Xingwu, Zhong Sanhe, governor of Yinzhou, Han Tao, brigade commander of the Black Wolf Army, and Gao Wuyang, battalion commander of the Xuanwu Army, were named Founding County Male, one hundred households in Shiyi.

After rewarding the meritorious officials, the emperor gave a banquet, basically they didn't have to eat, and the officials offered wine to celebrate the emperor's birthday.After a total of about four hours, this year's routine has finally come to an end.

...

...

Zhong Sanhe, Chang Podao, and Shi Lang adjusted the military caps they had just put on a few days ago, tidied up the military uniforms of officers who were not used to wearing them, and looked back at the two newly posted door gods on the gate of the Military Shuttle Department: the east side It is a handsome young man wearing a golden helmet, armor, full body military uniform, and a sword in one hand; on the west side is a giant man with a huge ax in his right hand and a palm in his left hand, also wearing golden armor.The two door gods are all staring, majestic.

Shi Lang and Zhong Sanhe followed Chang Podao's gaze, and couldn't help but look serious, Chang Podao said: "Your Majesty swallowed the mountains and rivers, directly decreed to abolish the original door gods, and named these two door gods, it is really worthy of the name."

Stone Wolf said with a look of admiration: "Bai Canghai, the king of killers, and Zhan Xiongwu, the devil general, these two are the only two super masters in our Xiangfu country other than His Majesty. They have made great achievements in battle and killed countless people. The evil spirit is enough to wipe out those evil spirits in an instant, and it is really suitable to be sealed as a door god."

Zhong Sanhe looked longingly, looked at the portraits of Bai Canghai and Zhan Xiong, and said: "A few days ago, I was chatting with Sun Lixing, the commander of the killer company of the special brigade, and I heard him talk about the deeds of His Majesty's subjugation of these two generals. The ancestor Zhao Kuangyin was sent to Jianghuai to raise food, and he had never practiced martial arts. At that time, the devil general was already a top-notch master, and he was the leader of the Jianghuai Gang, the largest gang in Jianghuai. Picking swordsmen from all over the world to return to Yangzhou, but after these two met His Majesty, they were easily overwhelmed by His Majesty. Your Majesty's divine power is really unfathomable."

Chang Podao thought of something and said, "Brother Zhong, I heard that the King of Assassins once invited you to the special brigade, did you agree?"

Zhong Sanhe shook his head and said: "I didn't agree at the time. I had already planned to go to the special brigade a few days ago, but after hearing what His Majesty said when he received us four days ago, my mind has changed."

Shi Lang looked serious, and said: "That's right, Your Majesty said that if we want to become generals and marquises, we can't just be a martial arts master, otherwise we will be just a low-level officer who can only obey orders."

Chang Podao's eyes flickered, and he said: "Your Majesty let us go to Xiangfu Military Academy to learn the skills of training and commanding troops, platooning and fighting."

Zhong Sanhe said: "So, I have already made up my mind. After I graduate from Xiangfu Military Academy, I will choose a regiment to make contributions to."

"That's right, after I learn how to lead the army and fight in battle, I will make great achievements, and one day I will be able to achieve great success and be honored by the generals."

The three of them looked at each other, let out a long laugh, got on their horses and walked towards the house that Chang Po Bro Dao had just sold a few days ago in the west of the city.

Shi Lang smiled and said: "It's rare to spend a new year in a prosperous place like Xiajing, but I have to accompany you often to the house to see your wife and children who just rushed to Xiajing. I really don't know what evil I did in my previous life. Lao Tzu I have long heard that there are many beautiful girls in Xiajing Chunying Building. I heard that there are even skinny horses in Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. I have been riding that bay red horse all these years, and I have long wanted to ride the famous Yangzhou skinny horse. gone."

Zhong Sanhe said with a smile: "Brother Shi, you are wrong. Brother Chang is going to see his sister-in-law, and buy us a drink by the way. How can you talk about that brothel girl before meeting your sister-in-law!"

Shi Lang smiled nonchalantly, and Chang Po Dao hurriedly said: "Brothers turning around, I invite you to ride the skinny horses at Chunying Tower, and now go drink at my new residence in Xiajing." After saying that, he waved his horsewhip and walked forward .Shi Lang and Zhong Sanhe quickly followed closely.

"I heard that Yelu Hanye and Yelulu, the two princes of the Liao Kingdom who surrendered, went to the Political Affairs Hall yesterday to ask the two prime ministers to comment because they did not obtain any titles. In the palace, when these two met His Majesty, they didn't finish a sentence, His Majesty glanced over, and they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, speechless for a long time, and finally left the palace obediently." Chang Podao said At this point, the admiration on his face has reached the extreme, and he thinks that only a person like His Majesty is the emperor worthy of his allegiance and following.

Stone Wolf said: "What is this? When His Majesty was still in the Song Kingdom, the Song Emperor ambushed thousands of elite soldiers in the palace in an attempt to kill His Majesty. In the end, His Majesty killed most of them by himself. He was so frightened that Song Emperor fainted on the spot. His Majesty slapped him awake, and the Emperor Song cried and knelt in front of His Majesty, begging for mercy. Such a peerless demeanor is unprecedented, and there will be no one since." Shi Lang heard mostly rumors, which were obviously different from the facts.

Zhong Sanhe also said in high spirits: "I think the Emperor Song is a waste. I heard that he was bullied by the prime minister Zhao Pu. He sent Lu Yuqing, the political counselor, to take the imperial decree to kill the official of Jiazhou who gave the Liao army an excuse, but was rescued by Zhao Pu. Half of the people were killed. This emperor is quite useless. Looking at the orphans and widows of the Liao Kingdom guarding the huge Liao Kingdom, this is not the case. Several tribes, big and small, rebelled. However, Empress Dowager Xiao, a woman like her, is ruthless enough! Directly annihilating one of the medium-sized tribes shocked the whole country, and no one dared to rebel again."

"Hey! Do you know! The tribes of the Liao Kingdom rebelled, and I heard that there is a shadow of the Ministry of Security behind them!" Chang Podao looked around, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously.

Stone Wolf said with a look of surprise: "No way! These grandchildren are so... woo woo woo"

Before Shi Lang finished speaking, Chang Podao's face changed slightly, and he shouted: "Brother Shi, be careful!" Zhong Sanhe shot like lightning, and directly blocked his mouth.

...

...

As the three of them were talking, they realized that they had arrived at the avenue Ye Chen named Imperial Avenue in front of the imperial city.I saw brilliant lights and crowds of people on the Imperial Avenue, a street full of people like ants, the faint sound of silk and bamboo mixed with noisy voices and laughter, before entering it, one could feel the joy of passers-by .Just looking at this situation, riding a horse is impossible.The three had no choice but to get off their horses when they heard someone shout: "Go quickly, you will miss it if you are late." Children and daughters are all rushing in one direction like a tide.

The three of them didn't know what happened, and they were all curious, so Zhong Sanhe grabbed one of them and asked, "Brother, please excuse me. May I ask what happened before?"

Unexpectedly, the man was held tightly by someone. He was very anxious and couldn't break free, so he said urgently: "Don't pull, don't pull. Brother, don't you know that there will be a fireworks show in front of the main gate square of the imperial city to celebrate Concubine Yu Gui's happiness?" ? I heard that those fireworks were made by the Weapons Research Department, who specially mobilized skilled craftsmen to make them in three days, which is quite different from usual."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhong Sanhe smiled and let go, and saw the man running forward in a hurry, as if he wanted to save the time wasted by Zhong Sanhe.

"What should I do? Do you want to go and watch the excitement?" Shi Lang laughed.

Chang Podao hesitated and said: "My mother-in-law and the others have prepared wine and meat and are waiting."

"It's just a woman, just let her wait at home for a while. Besides, it's not too far from the Imperial Avenue." Shi Lang said irresponsibly.

Zhong Sanhe nodded exaggeratedly, and said: "Exactly. What Brother Shi said is extremely reasonable. Besides, don't you want to see what the Weapons Research Department has made to celebrate Your Majesty Yu Guifei's pregnancy with His Majesty's heir?" In the meantime, Zhong Sanhe had already pulled Chang Podao and Shi Lang, and followed the crowd to the Imperial City Square.

When the three of them arrived at the Imperial City Square, there was already a sea of ​​people outside the Imperial City Square.
