No matter in which aspect, Zheng Bo is the chief hero of Ji Yijiu's rectification. So when the Marquis of Jin heard that he was the first to be rewarded, he was very surprised. He gave him an embarrassed look before he came out of the line to salute.

On behalf of the Son of Heaven, the ceremonial official gave the Marquis of Jin Ji Qiu a piece of black wine, a red bow, a hundred red arrows, a black bow, a hundred black arrows, and four horses, plus the reconfirmed Fenhe Valley, which is not unrich. However, what is even more exaggerated is that Ji Yijiu actually wrote an essay praising the Marquis of Jin.

"Father's righteousness! Pi Xianwen, Wu, Ke Shen Mingde, Zhao ascended to the top, and perfunctory Wen was below...... Simply sympathize with Erdu, use Chenger Xiande. ”

This hymn is very sensitive. In particular, "Ru Keshao is the ancestor, Ru Zhao is a criminal and martial arts, and he uses the meeting Shao Naipi, chasing filial piety to the former literati." If you cultivate more, you will make it difficult for me, and if you are good, you will be rewarded. This sentence praised the Marquis of Jin for saving the Son of Heaven in danger, saying that he would meet the princes and King Qin was more awesome than the two kings of Wenwu. People who don't know hear it, and they think that there is nothing wrong with Uncle Zheng from beginning to end!

The Marquis of Jin himself was embarrassed, and shirked: "The king has rewarded him, and the ministers are grateful." It's just that this head should be ......"

"Don't be arrogant." Ji Yijiu knew what he wanted to say, so he interrupted directly, "Ji Yuchen, a thief with a blade, isn't this the first work?" ”

When the Marquis of Jin heard this, although he felt that it was inappropriate, he had no choice but to give up. After all, killing Ji Yuchen was indeed the direct reason for Ji Yijiu to win the throne, and it was not easy to refute.

Next, the ceremonial officer announced that he would reward the marquis. The envoy thought that he was a soy sauce maker, but he panicked for a while, and even crawled to the middle with a rolling belt, and even knocked down a few bronze wine vessels.

The ceremonial officer read out the reward of the marquis, and at first it was nothing special, but in the end, he actually made up the position of "Holy Week Call". According to the covenant of King Qin, Zhou Zhao did need the coronation of the Son of Heaven, which was modeled after the coronation of the pope in the Middle Ages in Western Europe. However, the covenant also made it clear that the first Zhou Zhao did not need to be appointed. Ji Yijiu did this, obviously deliberately "doing more". Thinking of the contradictions between the two families before, the reconciliation at this time is quite meaningful.

When they got here, everyone thought that Uncle Zheng's reward would be left for the finale. As a result, Ji Yijiu "didn't take the usual path" again and began to reward and excavate. Generally speaking, the most important thing is either front or back. Therefore, as soon as such an arrangement came out, the Son of Heaven's small abacus to suppress Zheng Bo was already obvious.

The physical reward of Dutu was very rich, in addition to the doubling of those taken by the Marquis of Jin, a set of bronze ritual vessels and hundreds of slaves were added. At the same time, he pushed the boat down the river and reprimanded Yu Yi Erjun, which can be regarded as acknowledging the land that Zheng Guo snatched from them. Then, there is no then.

At this moment, everyone immediately whispered, and many people were obviously upset about Zheng Bo. You know, although the things in this prize are of high standard, none of them are dry goods. It is equivalent to issuing a certificate of merit without giving a bonus. The Marquis of Jin was angry, and stood up first: "Your Majesty, from moving the King of Qin, to checking and balancing the Marquis of Wei, including killing and supporting the establishment, which one does not rely on Uncle Zheng's plan?" With all due respect, this reward is not worthy of his credit! ”

"Marquis Jin is serious." As an accomplice of the Son of Heaven, Shenhou came out to help and said, "Uncle Zheng has suffered the most. The gift of the Son of Heaven is even more glorious. How can you say that you are not worthy! ”

Digging doesn't really care about the bounty itself. For 5,000 years, there have been countless things that have been suspected of high merit. After all, the Zhou Dynasty was still early, and the accumulation of experience was limited, and Ji Yijiu's approach was quite gentle compared to many emperors in later generations. Moreover, he plans to use the platform of the royal family to carry out a lot of drastic reforms in the future, so he doesn't want the Son of Heaven to feel that he is a threat.

So, Di Tu deliberately lowered his body and said: "The king is the co-lord of the princes of the world, and it is within his share of things to do it for you." These rewards are the highest since Zheng Guoguo's reign, and even the minister's father who has made great achievements in war has not enjoyed it. The minister really deserves it, let alone criticizes. Please remember the filial piety of the king, and take back the reward of the ritual. ”

"However, the first Huan Gong did not rebuild the Zhou ......."

"The kindness of the Marquis of Jin is not appreciated." Digging Tu interrupted him and said, "On the issue of great loyalty and great filial piety, the widow really does not agree. ”

This came and went, and it seemed that Zheng Bo was more upright, which made Ji Yijiu a little embarrassed. When he saw everyone praising each other, he was afraid of falling into passivity, so he quickly changed his tone: "Uncle Zheng's heart is understood by few people, but he is still rewarded for his merits, otherwise wouldn't it chill the heart of his loyal ministers?" Since you don't want to take credit for your father, then that's it, the etiquette is not rewarded, please take over the position of Zheng Huan's apprentice, follow his old man's example, and continue to serve the royal family. ”

Through these words, Di Tu found that Ji Yijiu's crisis public relations ability is quite strong, no wonder he was able to create the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in the troubled times. He turned passive into active, and adjusted the reward according to Uncle Zheng's false excuses, as if he had become a reasonable prince of love and courtiers. Sure enough, everyone seemed to have forgotten the episode that dwarfed Uncle Zheng just now, and they all sang the praises of the saint's wisdom.

Ji Yijiu is nothing on the surface, but he is unhappy in his heart. If it weren't for the fear of public anger before the throne was hot, he wouldn't want to give up this position. Powerful princes entered the central government, and it would only be more convenient to interfere in politics.

If you are not happy, you will not be happy, and the reward will continue. Ji Yijiu then treated Rui Bo and the others who made soy sauce, and put his grandfather Shenhou in the position of pressing the formation. Not only did he send a lot of physical objects, but also the actual position in the court and a false title, which was almost comparable to Uncle Zheng.

At this point, the intention of the Son of Heaven is obvious. Pro-Shen Fuwei, lifting Jin and pressing Zheng, played a good balance.

The ceremony was followed by the feast. The state banquet organized by the Son of Heaven is naturally of the highest standard. Although it is not the home field of Hojing, the ceremonial officer does not dare to be sloppy at all. From costumes to ceremonial music, every detail strives to reflect the royal demeanor. For Dutu, the most interesting thing is still eating. Anyway, the unsatisfactory reward has been completed, and there is no need for intrigue at the banquet, so he is in a good mood and has a great appetite for the fish in his eyes.

Today, according to the Son of Heaven's ceremony, it is "Taigao", which has a lot more beef than the usual princes' banquets. Some are raw, some are cooked, some are roasted, some are pickled, some are sliced, and some are chopped into a puree, which is dazzling. However, this is only foreplay. Just as he was about to feast, the ceremonial officer suddenly reported the name of the main dish.

Di Tu was stunned at first, and after reacting, his taste buds were instantly excited.

Under the command of Si Zheng, dozens of waiters rushed in and displayed eight dishes in front of each guest. Together, they have a thunderous name, called "Zhou Bazhen".

"Eight Treasures" are described in "Zhou Li" and "Book of Rites", which is almost the earliest banquet menu in China. As a history lover among foodies, he has naturally heard of it. However, because he has not encountered it since the crossing, he has almost forgotten this "first banquet in China". Today, Ji Yijiu was happy and gave this delicacy that only the Son of Heaven could enjoy to the heroes to taste, how could he not make Di Tu excited?

These first two dishes are called "Chun Boil, Chun Mu", which is actually similar to rice bowls. The rice and millet that are the base are very sweet on their own, and they are topped with a good meat sauce for an extra salty taste. Finally, the hot meat oil was splashed, and all the aromas mixed in the nourishing heat.

I couldn't hold it anymore, and I cut several mouthfuls in an instant. If he hadn't wanted to save his stomach for the delicacy in the back, he would have really wanted to lick the bronze to the bottom. For this reason, this guy complained in his heart why the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty put the staple food in front.

Next is "Cannon Dolphin, Cannon Duck". Although these two dishes appear to be roast suckling pig and roast suckling sheep on the surface, the production process is very complicated. After the livestock is slaughtered and cleaned, the belly is filled with dates, the outside is tied with reeds, and finally it is covered with mud like a flower chicken before it is roasted over a high fire. So when it is roasted, it has an extra layer of sweetness of jujube and aroma of mud and grass. This is not over, and then you have to wrap the rice paste into the meat oil, put it in the big ding with a small ding, and boil it for three days and three nights before it comes out of the pot.

For this practice, digging is very puzzling. Modern cooking is either fried or boiled, and I haven't heard of "boiling oil". The result is neither as crispy as frying nor as rotten as boiled, and the taste is indescribably subtle.

If the first four treasures are considered a big dish, the back four treasures are more like snacks.

The method of "pounding treasures" is quite like peeing cow balls, which requires the tenderloin to be beaten repeatedly until it is out of tendons and turned into puree, and then it is cooked and eaten. If that's all there is to it, it's a common thing for modern people like Dutu. However, the key to this dish is the ingredients, which are actually mixed with five or six animals such as cows, sheep, elk, deer, and zhang, which makes it stand out from the rest.

The so-called "pickled" is wine-cured beef. The meat is freshly cut raw, thin like translucent paper, marinated overnight, and served with a variety of dipping sauces.

"Boiling" is also beating the animal meat with the tendons removed, but the method is to bake it on bamboo slivers. The final product seems to be a bit like dried meat.

The last dish is called "liver cheek", which is commonly known as roasted dog liver. In order to increase the flavor of the fat, it is wrapped in an oily coat on the dog's intestines and grilled. When roasting, the sauce is vigorously brushed, and the melted oil coat seeps into the liver, making the taste extra mellow in the mouth.

After eating "Bazhen", the digging protrusion was completely supported, and he could only lean back slightly on the table to make his stomach slightly loose. When he was full of wine and food, he waited for the banquet to disperse, so that he could slowly walk back to the post house, intending to take advantage of it to consume food. If Uncle Zheng suffers from indigestion because of gluttony, it will become a joke for others.

However, Ji Yijiu was unsatisfactory, not only did he not disperse, but also signaled everyone to return to his position. He seems to have something to say.
