Chapter 4 The seal will leave Beijing
Decree? What is the purpose? What did he miss? Xia Zongxiao was confused......
Xia Zongxiao looked at Emperor Jingxing suspiciously, and a trace of schadenfreude flashed from his eyes.
The great eunuch Bijie got the emperor's permission to take out the holy decree that had been prepared long ago from his arms, and read it directly regardless of Xia Zongxiao's reaction. As for the etiquette of the ordinary foreign ministers receiving orders, Bijie was automatically omitted. Anyway, this gentleman is very casual when he receives the holy decree on weekdays, not to mention the old queen mother, his big backer, sitting on the side.
"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Feng, the king of Wei, Xia Zongxiao, is the general of Jingbei. Zuo Shen, the general of Peking University, went out to pacify the border pass. In addition, the status of King Wei is noble, and the prince of Wei is specially allowed to guard the army and the three guards of the king. Tomorrow with the Beijing Pioneer Battalion to go on the expedition, admire this. ”
Bi Jie respectfully handed the holy decree to Xia Zongxiao, who had a sad face.
"Don't be reluctant! Da Qin has been raising you for twenty years, and now is the time for you to repay Da Qin! The mourning family doesn't expect you to really be able to put on armor and sword to kill the enemy, but at least you can add some luster to the face of the royal family.
The imperial court sent a prince to quell the rebellion, so that the soldiers on the front line knew that the imperial court and the emperor had not forgotten them..."
In Daqin, the king is often there, but the prince is not often. The king of the county is the most remotely sealed, and the food is eaten. And the prince can be a real and real existence, and the existence of a feudal state.
In order to consolidate the central imperial power, successive emperors consciously limited the number of princes. After all, the king of the county has the most money and grain from the state, and the prince wants to divide part of the country's land and power. After the prince established the country, in addition to paying taxes and military service to the imperial court every year, the military and political affairs in his territory were controlled by the feudal state itself.
The old queen mother took Xia Zongxiao's hand seriously, and at this time, she was like a kind grandmother who loved her grandson, and her voice was soft: "When you arrive in the north, don't be willful, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and they won't go around you because you are the prince." Otherwise... Your father... Nor will it..."
The loss of a young husband, the loss of a child in middle age, and the grief of life, Empress Dowager Qi silently endured, and the corners of her eyes were soaked.
Emperor Jingxing's expression was even more sad than that of the Queen Mother, and he approached and handed him a dragon embroidered handkerchief to his mother, and comforted: "Take care of your body!" Thinking about the spirit of the royal brother in the sky, I don't want the queen mother to damage her body because she misses the imperial brother. Brother Huang's spirit in the sky will definitely bless you, and Zong Xiao and I, Daqin, will survive this catastrophe. Don't be sad! ”
Turning his head and caring for him, he told Xia Zongxiao like a loving father: "Zongxiao, when you get to the front of the battle, don't mess around, listen to the words of the old general Zuo." The old general has gone through three dynasties and has experienced a hundred battles, and you must not point fingers at the military formation just because you are the prince's honor.
Uncle Huang knows that you have been weak and sickly since you were a child. It's also a helpless move for you to represent the royal family, and you did such a bastard thing, although it didn't make a big mistake. But when so many people in Bianjing saw it, they always had to give an explanation to the world.
It's really helpless to let you go on the expedition, and your uncle will send Imperial Doctor Xiao, who usually serves you, to accompany you. Uncle also knows that you have been eating fine clothes and jade food since you were a child, and you must not be used to eating those miscellaneous grains and coarse food in the military camp, so you bring more food and clothes from your subordinates, although the army has its own military discipline, but you don't have to scruple! Uncle Huang has your back! ”
Speaking of this, he patted his chest at the right time, as if to say, I cover you!
Vomiting that mouthful of blood in the morning made the body a little weak, and he was almost slapped by himself for coughing, and he endured it so as not to spoil the atmosphere of this uncle and nephew and continued.
"In addition, the salary of your defense of the three guards on the expedition... After all... The three guards of the king are your pro-army guards, and you can give to the top in order to make the people below grateful to Dade. For the sake of your feudal and state-building in the future, it is not good for the court and me to overstep the boundaries of the country, so you can bring your own food, grass and military salaries......"
A helpless expression for your good.
Xia Zongxiao was thirsty and was carefully drinking the imperial tea on the table, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and almost sprayed him with a mouthful of strong tea after tasting it. Wei Wang Sanwei's salary in previous years has never been paid in full, and he is often in arrears.
Co-authored the previous words that said so many nice things, all to pave the way for him! And let the horses run, and let the horses not eat grass?
Xia Zongxiao's understanding of Emperor Jingxing's shameless face has deepened again! The corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, which was in response to his uncle's love and affection.
There were so many things that happened on this day that Xia Zongxiao's brain, which had almost stopped thinking normally, couldn't react for a while, and his head swelled.
With the holy decree of appointing him as the general of Jingbei, he reclined in the rich frame of the brocade mink fur, but the words whispered in his ear by the imperial grandmother echoed in his head: "Recently, the mourning family asked the Xuanqing Zhenren of Zhenwuguan to make up another hexagram!" The real person said that the recent movement of the Northern White Tiger Star is a disaster for me Daqin, but it is an opportunity for you. White Tiger Commander, you should pay more attention to the border pass. The live white tiger is in the north, so you have to look for it carefully.
Xuande Zhenren's words before feathering, do you still remember, if you find a live white tiger, you will be healthy and invincible. Your chance should be in the Northlands, go boy... If you really find an opportunity for Xuan Qingzhen's words, even if the mourning family dies, it will be considered to have an explanation to your father......"
Xuan Qing Zhenren is the junior brother of Xuande Zhenren, and after his senior brother Xuande Zhenren was feathered a few years ago, he became the master of the True Martial Arts Temple, and he is not too young.
White tiger... Person... Northern... These words have been lingering in Xia Zongxiao's mind for a long time......
White tigers are rare, and in the world before he crossed, wild white tigers were extremely rare, almost none. There are only a few hundred white tigers forcibly bred by advanced genetic technology, and most of them do not live long.
Not to mention the fact that there is no modern technology in the world today.
The emergence of white tigers can only rely on natural breeding in nature for thousands of years, and technology cannot be counted on, so they can only rely on their own genetic mutations.
Looking for the white tiger is often accompanied by him, the more Xia Zongxiao thinks about this sentence, the more he feels that it is wrong. The lifespan of a tiger is only more than ten years, even if he finds a live white tiger by his dog, even if what Xuande Niubi said is true, the white tiger can protect his health, and it will protect him for more than ten years at most.
He is now twenty years old, and he will live for more than ten years, that is, he will be in his thirties, so that when he burps, he will still die young...
Xia Zongxiao felt a faint sadness when he thought of it......
Weiwang's Mansion is located in the west city, covering a huge area, extremely luxurious, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, dance pavilions, everything.
Not far from the Weiwang Mansion, there is a fang market called Sanweifang, which is inhabited by Weiwang Sanwei and their relatives.
These people are the descendants of the relatives who followed the emperor to conquer the Yongguan Jingying camp in person, and some of them were also witnesses of the Yongguan changes back then.
At that time, the changes in Yongguan shook Daqin, and the world was shocked.
The last elite of the Beijing camp was also lost after that battle. Those who survived by luck were imprisoned by the imperial court because of poor protection, and what was waiting for them was to raid their homes and exterminate their clans.
Later, the imperial court was busy with the new emperor's accession to the throne and pacifying the border turmoil, so the matter was shelved.
When Xia Zongxiao was found by General Zhenbei and named King Wei, Xia Zongxiao protected this group of Beijing soldiers and his family members to the Empress Dowager Qi as his personal guard.
A total of 6,321 households lived in the Sanwei Fang. They are all people who defend the king and the three guards.
One percent of each household is used as a regular army, and the rest of the men aged between 16 and 50 are called military amateurs or auxiliary soldiers.
The Empress Dowager also decreed that all the military households of the Emperor Wei were hereditary until the end of the household......
She transferred her hatred for the barbarians who caused the Yongguan Revolution to these poorly guarded soldiers...
The regular army's monthly salary is consistent with copper coins and one stone of grain. The rest of the army, the auxiliary army, half of it. These salaries are basically the income of a family, and they are enough for the expenses of ordinary military households.
However, some military households want to live a better life, so there are often groups of surplus soldiers in Weizhong who go out to work after training to earn extra money.
