Chapter 216: The Proposal of the Concubine
Qu Ping and Li Gang enjoyed the cheers and cheers of the ministers, thanking God, and the scenery was like wings. Qu Ping and Li Gang are already above tens of thousands of people under one person!
Zhao Gou then announced: "Wu Jue was awarded the title of Duke of Yiguo, Han Shizhong as Duke of Shunguo, Liu Guangshi as Duke of Xuguo, Yue Fei as Duke of Mu Guo, Zhang Jun as Duke of Lieguo, Ku Tura as Duke of Mengguo, Wu Ling as Marquis of Wushun, Yang Zaixing as Marquis of Wujing, Liu Qi as Marquis of Wuyong, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites...... Shao Chengzhang is the Marquis of Jinghai and gives the country a surname! ”
Of the six princes, five of them are the heroes of Jingkang starting from the dragon escort, and Kutura represents the Mobei forces, and of course it is also a reward for his attack on destroying gold.
This title of king and marquis requires thoughtful consideration in all aspects, neither big nor small.
Like Wu Luan, it is because his brother Wu Jue has been awarded the title of Duke of Yiguo, in order to balance the power, it is impossible to have two dukes in a family, so if the Wu family wants to go to the next level, unless there are more earth-shattering achievements.
Yang Zaixing was originally the Marquis of Dingwu, but this time he was renamed Marquis Wujing, mainly because his qualifications were not as good as the previous ones.
Shao Chengzhang was shortlisted for the top ten marquis and was given the surname of the Great Song Kingdom, which is a little surprising, but considering his outstanding contributions to HNA, it is completely reasonable. Shao Chengzhang thus became one of the few eunuchs in history who was made a marquis.
In addition, the six Shangshu were awarded the title of Wenhou, and in general, they are the four kings, the six princes, and the ten marquis.
Except for Wu Jue and Zhang Jun leading the troops, everyone else was present.
The ministers who were knighted thanked the emperor: "Thank you, long live my emperor, long live long live!" The ministers will do their best to live up to the emperor's grace! ”
The officials rejoiced and applauded.
Everyone inspires themselves in their hearts, and they must redouble their efforts, maybe they will one day have such a beautiful moment, enjoying the attention and cheers of tens of millions of people!
Zhao Gou said again: "In recognition of your outstanding achievements in military affairs, I have specially named the ten marshals, they are Qu Ping, Wu Jue, Wu Ling, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Yang Zaixing, Hu Tura, and Liu Qi. ”
Compatible with the top ten marshals, there are also 20 generals: "Jiang Boyan, Wang Zhiquan, Qing Xuanzi, Chen Chong, Niu Gao, Zhang Xian, Xu Qing, Yang Yizhong, Jiangtan, Zhao Li, Qu Tuye, ......"
The Helan Five Tigers followed Qu Ping, and it can be regarded as the final achievement, occupying four seats among the twenty generals, among which Jiang Boyan and Wang Zhiquan led the most important Shenji battalion, Chen Chong was in charge of the forbidden army in the capital, and Qing Xuanzi and Niu Gao were both generals under Yang Zaixing, and they could be said to be in important positions.
In addition to the commanders of the road army, the 20 generals are the generals under the tent of the top ten marshals. Like Zhang Xian and Xu Qing are Yue Fei's subordinates, Yang Yizhong is Zhang Jun's subordinates, Jiangtan is the second brother and general of Kutula, and Zhao Li is the envoy of Jiedu.
In addition, the emperor also gave the lords of the vassal friends who came to the palace a book of titles, so that they could make the trip worthwhile.
After the vigorous altar of earth was sacrificed, the emperor and more than a dozen ministers who went up the mountain bathed and fasted, and climbed to the top of the mountain from the sun of Mount Tai early the next morning.
When the morning sun rises out of the sea of clouds, the emperor begins to perform the enthronement ceremony at the Temple of Heaven on the top of the mountain.
The emperor held the jade policy in his hand and reported to the sky, saying that heaven bestowed the throne and the king repaid the grace of heaven.
The ancient feudal regimes all paid attention to a divine authority of the monarchy, indicating that they were ordered by heaven to manage the mortal world, and they had a certain divinity. Otherwise, it will be a wild road with an unjustified name, and it will not be blessed and loved by the people.
After the jade is sealed in the Temple of Heaven, it is convenient for the yin of the mountain to go down the mountain, and then sacrifice to the earth god in the altar of the earth.
The weather is also windy and sunny, which coincides with the divine nature of the monarch. Let people think that this is the arrangement of providence, and no one can disobey the wheel of history.
Zhao Gou led the ministers to perform the sacrificial ceremony, after the ceremony, Zhao Gou accepted the pilgrimage of the ministers and the vassal Fanbang, the mountain called long live, and the solemn and solemn Mount Tai Feng Zen announced the end of the ceremony.
All the processes follow the rules step by step, there is no room for mistakes, and there must be sincerity, so that it seems that nature and man are one.
Zhao Gou said that he would inscribe the grand occasion of Feng Chan on the cliff wall, including the names of the princes and marquises, and even carve the stone carvings of the generals on the mountain to commend their achievements in the expansion of the territory of the Great Song Empire.
If you don't have a strong shell, how to protect a gentle heart. The army is the solid shield of the imperial court.
After Feng Chan was finished, Zhao Gou and the monarchs and ministers were about to set off to return to Yingtian.
Kutura had been in the Central Plains for more than a month, and it was time to bring the books and return to his hometown.
However, before leaving, Kutura still had a knot in his heart to ask the emperor to answer. So, Kutura went to ask to see the emperor.
"Meng Guogong, I still want you to spend more time in the capital, why do you want to go back?" Zhao Gou met with Kutula in the state capital of Taizhou.
Kutura replied: "It's been almost a year since I went on the expedition, and it's time to go back and take care of my subordinates and people for the emperor." When the minister goes back, he will definitely talk to the people of Mobei about the emperor's enlightened image! ”
Of course, Zhao Gou didn't mind bringing honey in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Then work hard to go back to Aiqing, and publicize more with the people of Mobei, and tell them that in our Great Song Dynasty, all ethnic groups are fair and equal!" ”
"Yes, I will." Ku Tu Ra pretended to hesitate and said, "The minister thinks, the best propaganda is the most intuitive way to have a symbolic communication bridge between the Han and Mongolian ethnic groups, for example...... Marriage. ”
Marriage, this is a bit unexpected by the emperor. I don't know what kind of marriage method Kutura wants, whether he wants to marry Zhao Gou from the Mongolian side, or marry Kutura from the Central Plains?
Zhao Gou said: "Marriage? I think about it...... Is there any princess or princess who has not yet been out of the royal court? "I love Search.com
Seeing that the emperor didn't think about himself, Ku Tura hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if you accept a Mongolian concubine, wouldn't it better reflect the emperor's favor for Mongolia?" The subjects of Mongolia will surely sing your praises to you. ”。
"Be a concubine for me?" Zhao Gou was surprised.
Kutura struck while the iron was hot and said, "That's right. The minister has a sister, twenty years old, not yet out of the cabinet, although it is not a country and a city, but also beautiful and generous, and sensible. ”
Kutu said in his heart: "Qu An, since you don't like it, then I have to send Tana into the palace." I told you to find her a man who looks like an eagle! ”
Zhao Gou thought it was not easy to do, I now advocate equal and free marriage between men and women, and the concubines in the palace are all beautiful and virtuous, and they have never taken any more concubines since they ascended the throne, and now they are suddenly a little difficult to explain.
However, if they reject Kutura, they are afraid that they will be divided and feel that they dislike them, which is not conducive to national unity.
Zhao Gou was a little big for a while, what a dilemma!
"The emperor thinks that the status of the minister's sister is low?" Seeing that the emperor was slow to answer, Ku Tu asked worriedly.
"No, no, absolutely nothing!" Zhao Gou flatly denied it and said, "Rong Zhen thinks about it, I need to go back to the harem to discuss such an important matter." ”
Ku Tura said happily: "The minister is waiting for the emperor's good news!" ”
Looking at Kutura's happy appearance, Zhao Gouzhen was worried that he would be disappointed when the time came.
As soon as Kutura's front foot left, Li Changzuo, the king of Western Xia, came.
Li Changzuo came to say goodbye to the emperor, because the Western Liao had recently stationed tens of thousands of troops on the border of Western Xia, and there was a possibility of eastward advance at any time, so he had to go back and make a good deal of it; Second, while reminding the emperor to strengthen his vigilance, he hoped that if Western Liao called, the Great Song Dynasty would lend a helping hand.
Now that Song and Xia are one, of course Zhao Gou will not look at his lips and teeth, and he will not save him when he sees death.
Zhao Gou said: "The two places in Song and Xia are good-neighborly and friendly, and they advance and retreat together, so you can rest assured that the king of Western Xia." Xixia has made a great effort in the gold extermination operation this time, so I will exempt you from Xixia's New Year's coins! ”
Li Changzuo was grateful, and even if he thanked him, he would be relieved to go back with Zhao Gou's golden words.
On the way back to the palace, Zhao Gou quietly probed Qu Ping and said, "Anyway, I'll tell you what is in my heart." I now have three concubines and two princes, and since I ascended the throne, I have never accepted a concubine for eight years, do you say that this will affect the continuation of my royal bloodline in the Great Song Dynasty? ”
Qu Ping thought that after the Great Song Dynasty suffered the Jingkang catastrophe, the vitality of the royal family was greatly damaged, and he should indeed increase his horsepower.
Qu Ping said: "The emperor is still young, strong and strong, and there will be more princes and princesses in the future, so you don't have to worry about this." However, now that the world is prosperous, it makes sense for the emperor to take a concubine. However, the minister has words first, to grasp the measure, the dragon body is important. ”
With Qu Ping's words, Zhao Gou felt much more at ease.
As the saying goes, full of warmth and desire, now the world is peaceful, the Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, and Zhao Gou himself wants to take a concubine.
As long as there is no opinion in the harem when you go back, you can meet Kutura's "rude request".
As for Li Gang, as a figure of the older generation, he has long hoped that the emperor will work more and be better when it comes to giving birth to children under the dual premise of being diligent in government affairs and paying attention to the dragon body.
Zhao Gou returned to the palace and went to his mother's side to report his thoughts first.
Since Zhao Gou's original and first lady Concubine Xing came back from the Jin Kingdom, she has devoted herself to the Tao and cut off the mundane.
The affairs of this harem are generally decided by Empress Dowager Wei, followed by Wu Guifei, who is a member of grace.
Zhao Gou saw the Empress Dowager Wei, and was a little embarrassed at first, but then plucked up the courage to say: "Queen Mother, now that the world is peaceful, I want our Zhao Dragon Clan's bloodline to continue to prosper!" ”
Zhao Gou said ambiguously, Empress Dowager Wei tasted it carefully, and asked, "Does the emperor want to take a concubine?" ”
"Yes." Zhao Gou bravely admitted, "Mongolia's Mongolian prince wants to bring the Han and Mongolian friendships closer, and it just so happens that he has a twenty-year-old sister, who is smart and sensible, dignified and virtuous, and has good looks, so he ......"
Empress Dowager Wei said happily: "Okay! Naturally, Hongu raised his hands in favor! ”
Empress Dowager Wei, as Zhao Gou's mother, of course hopes that Zhao Gou will spread out as many branches as possible, and she is in favor of the concubine.
Empress Dowager Wei said: "If it weren't for the heavy state affairs in the past few years, I would have wanted the emperor to take a concubine a long time ago, and now that the Jin Kingdom has been destroyed and the four seas are peaceful, it is the time to reward the emperor with a concubine." ”
Zhao thought to himself that his mother must be helping her relatives and not helping her, and sometimes thinking about the problem may not be comprehensive.
But Wu Guifei is different, she is thoughtful and thoughtful, she still wants to make Wu Guifei the queen, maybe she should listen to her opinion.
At night, Zhao Gou and Wu Guifei lay in the warm quilt, Zhao Gou ate and said: "Aifei, you are well-informed and thoughtful, there is one thing, I want to hear your opinion." Meng Guogong of the Mongolian Department, he said that he wanted to send his sister to the palace, firstly, to enhance the Han-Mongolian relationship, and secondly, he probably wanted to make him feel psychologically stable. ”
When Wu Guifei thought about it for a while, the emperor thought that she would not agree, so he changed his words and said: "Actually, I am already very satisfied to have a few of you!" ”
