The Guo family attaches great importance to it, and Zhao Xiong's wedding is very grand. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Gao Shun sent his guards to pick up his relatives, giving Guo enough face; The high war horse of the senior cavalry made the people of Taiyuan County who had seen the world extremely shocked, and it was a great honor to have such an excellent horse, not to mention that so many excellent war horses were formed into an army, which shows that Gao Shun is not only wealthy, but also powerful.
The 1,000 war horses given to the Guo family in advance, they thought it was good at first, both speed and endurance were much better than the local war horses, if compared with the war horses that came to pick up relatives, the gap was too big and too obvious, and it was simply not a grade.
The Guo family's liquor store in Taiyuan is ready, and it will be officially open after Zhao Xiong gets married.
In order to get closer to Gao Shun, especially after they learned about the cotton cloth business, they wanted to befriend Gao Shun, so in addition to arranging for the juniors to go to Yanmen County to send relatives, the family also sent an elder to accompany them, deal with the affairs along the way, and hand over the marriage of 10,000 acres of land with Zhao Xiong.
Gao Shun took office as the general of the expedition to the north and immediately sent Wenchou to recover Zhongling County and Shanwu County.
Subsequently, Cheng Li, the captain of the Wuhuan school, led the army to defeat several Wuhuan tribes in a row, and the heads of the kings of several Wuhuan tribes and the heads of many Wuhuan nobles were sent to the capital.
When Zhang Rang reported the battle to the emperor, Liu Hong was shocked, the champion Hou is too powerful, the leaders of several Wuhuan tribes have been called kings for a long time, and often rob the border counties, but I didn't expect the champion Hou to kill Qiu Liju, the king of western Liaoning, last year, and this year he killed the three kings of Nanlou, Wuyan and Badun, and incorporated their tribes, and other Qinglong tribes and white wolf tribes were also swept away together, and the border counties of the two states were also peaceful.
Seeing Liu Hong's uncertain face, Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty, the champion Hou seems to have seen through His Majesty's mind, last time he sent his military exploits to Youbeiping County and Liaoxi County, and this time he sent his military exploits to the captain of Wuhuan, he did not mention his own military exploits, so there is no need to reward the champion Hou, only reward Cheng Li, the captain of Wuhuan." ”
Liu Hong sighed and said: "This is the genius of the champion Hou, if he doesn't grab the merits of the battle, and the benefits are given to everyone, then his subordinates will compete for him in the future." ”
"Your Majesty, this is a good thing, they work for the champion Hou is for Your Majesty, and they don't have to pay much for Your Majesty to ensure the peace of the border county."
Liu Hong didn't think so in his heart, now he can suppress Gao Shun, but his son may not be able to suppress Gao Shun after he ascends the throne in the future, and the main thing is that he is too young, and he will definitely be a big tumor in the Han Dynasty in the future, but he can't discuss these ideas with Zhang Rang and others, and he is very uncomfortable in his heart; Such a great feats of war cannot be rewarded, and more rewards will inevitably continue to enhance Gao Shun's strength, which Liu Hong does not want to see, if the reward is less, they are likely to be passive and slack off, and no one can replace them for the time being, in that case, the court may have greater losses, so he asked: "Zhang Changshi, how to reward the captain of Wuhuan?" ”
Zhang Rang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, last time Liu Taishou of Beiping County was named the county marquis for killing Qiu Liju, and this time the battle exploits of the captain of Wuhuan were even greater, so the minister thinks that at least one county marquis will be sealed." ”
"What if you transfer Captain Wuhuan out of another place?"
"Your Majesty, no, without the buffer of the Wuhuan tribe, the border counties will directly face the threat of the Xianbei people, their strength is stronger, more barbaric, and more difficult to deal with; Champion Hou's letter explains that his general's palace was set up in Juyong Pass, and the captain of Wuhuan was moved from Ningcheng to Feiru, not only to deal with the Wuhuan people in the eastern counties of Liaodong, but also to resist the Xianbei people in the east; The general's prefect will be stationed in Ningcheng, specializing in defending against the Budugen tribe and the central Xianbei; The General's Mansion can support Ningcheng and Feiru at any time, like iron tongs, to protect the safety of the two states; In short, there is no one to replace their place at the moment, and it is not appropriate to transfer them out at this time. ”
Liu Hong said reluctantly: "Then make Captain Cheng Li the Marquis of Dong'e County." ”
Zhang Rang said: "Yes, Your Majesty! Dingxiang County has recovered two counties, how to deal with it? Champion Hou Shangshu said that he would move the Wuhuan tribe of Daijun and Shanggu County to Dingxiang County. ”
"Or according to the original implementation of the promise to the champion Hou, the counties he recovered will be managed by him, if it is replaced, who can hold it? Besides, this move is also to encourage Champion Hou to continue to work hard to recover Dingxiang County, as well as Yunzhong County and Wuyuan County. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty Shengming!" Zhang Rang was very supportive of His Majesty's decision.
Liu Hong thought for a while and then said: "I have always wanted to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for the champion Hou, let the messenger pass on my message, let the champion Hou enter Beijing once, I personally hold a coming-of-age ceremony for him, and give him a marriage with Princess Wannian, and participate in the wedding ceremony of Guangnian Hou and Guangping Hou at the same time." ”
Zhang Rang said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, there is news from the people below, and the mother of the champion Hou seems to have made a marriage to him. ”
Liu Hong asked unhappily: "Who are you marrying with?" ”
"Your Majesty, it is said that she is the daughter of a cold family in the former Yunzhong County."
"Have you come to Beijing to report?"
"Your Majesty, the minister went to Dahonglu to check, but the champion Hou did not send someone to Beijing to report."
Since this is the case, there is room for operation, Liu Hong was overjoyed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Haha, since this is the case, his family will be invalidated." ”
"It's not going to be good!"
"Haha, it's okay, the etiquette system can't be abolished, and this move can be regarded as a warning to the champion."
Zhang Rang said helplessly: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”
Liu Hong arranged again: "Inform Lu Zhi and Cai Yong to make a meaningful statement for the champion!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
This time, it was Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng who passed the decree, and he quickly whipped his horse, first went to Feiru to pass the decree for Cheng Li, and then went to Taoyuan Fort to pass on the message to Gao Shun to His Majesty.
Cheng Li didn't have much money, but he just warmly entertained Zuo Feng without giving him a generous gift; Zuo Feng knew that he was the right-hand man of the champion Hou, and he did not dare to blatantly ask for bribes, but he knew that the champion Hou would definitely not treat him badly, so he did not deal with Cheng Li, but said goodbye kindly.
Gao Shun was very surprised by Zuo Feng's arrival, but the canonization of Cheng Li as the Marquis of Dong'e County was still beyond his expectations, and His Majesty was very happy this time, but this battle achievement was also worthy of His Majesty's reward.
What was even more surprising was that His Majesty summoned him to Beijing, and he didn't know why.
gave Zuo Feng a warm reception and a generous gift, but Zuo Feng only revealed that His Majesty would personally hold a coming-of-age ceremony for him, thinking that this was a great honor.
Regarding His Majesty's preparation for marriage, Zhang Rang specially explained that he must not tell the champion Hou in advance.
Gao Shun felt that he had a lot of feelings about this, and he didn't realize the importance of the coming-of-age ceremony.
For Fang Liang and Zhou Fei's wedding, Gao Shun didn't plan to attend, for fear that he would be embarrassed by the time, but since His Majesty had an order, he had no choice but to go.
"Please return to Your Majesty, I will arrive early."
Zuo Feng said: "The prince doesn't need to be in a hurry, it's still early, the wedding is scheduled for September 19, and there is still more than a month to go." ”
Gao Shun said: "Angels go first, and after arranging things at home, I will set off for the capital." ”
