Chapter 137: Marquis of Chu Jiang

Lin Yuan's arrival immediately attracted the sideways glances of this group of people.

Lin Yuan was also looking at everyone.

Among this group of people, there are civil servants, military generals, and a group of eunuchs, but he doesn't know any of them.

I don't know which one is Qin Hui, which one is Zhang Jun, and which one is Wan Qiao.

However, those decent generals, such as Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, Wu Jie, Wu Ling, and Zhao Ding, Lin Yuan recognized them at a glance.

These decent generals don't have as much thought as civilian officials, which can be seen through their faces.

After Lin Yuan escorted Zhang Bangchang over, they all had friendly smiles on their faces.

Of course, Lin Yuan didn't know who was in this group of generals.

Yue Fei led Lin Yuan and waited at the main gate.

A moment later, there was a sudden surge of people on the tower, and then a golden canopy appeared.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

With a sharp duck voice, everyone suddenly became solemn.

Lin Yuan knew that today's main master, Zhao Gou, had appeared.

He hurriedly looked up, but unfortunately the palace wall was too high, and the figure under the canopy was completely blocked.

Yue Yun glanced at Lin Yuan and stretched out his head to look around, secretly feeling funny, and the corners of his mouth were raised.

His move immediately attracted the reprimand of his father Yue Fei.

"Get down on my knees!"

Yue Yun restrained his smile and immediately knelt on the ground.

Yue Fei turned to Lin Yuan and saw that Lin Yuan was standing up straight, without the intention of kneeling.

He opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

In fact, in the Song Dynasty, when the courtiers saw the emperor, they did not need to bow down.

This is very rare in all dynasties.

The relationship between the monarch and the minister in the Song Dynasty was generally relaxed.

After Song Gaozong Zhao Gou arrived, the scene was directly quiet, and even the group of people who were standing opposite the Kowloon Bridge and watching the excitement also closed their mouths.

Lin Yuan didn't know if he should speak, he deliberately glanced at Yue Fei.

Yue Fei saw through Lin Yuan's thoughts at a glance and nodded directly.

So, Lin Yuan stepped forward directly and shouted: "Lin Yuan, the governor of Suizhou, please Saint An!" Today, with the puppet Chu Emperor Zhang Bangchang, outside the Zhengyi Gate, he is dedicated to His Majesty Emperor Gaozong! ”

His voice was very loud, like a flood of bells, shocking.

And the reason why he calls himself Weichen is also because Zhao Gou once canonized him as the governor of Suizhou, which is true.

As for the fact that he didn't want to take it at the time, that's another story.

But now the situation is different, he is in Lin'an City, under Zhao Gou's nose, he is still a low-key person.

He didn't want to be disgusted by Zhao Gou because he didn't accept the canonization, and then be killed.

Thinking about Zhao Gou, even Yue Fei was willing to kill, what was he worth.

Sure enough, Lin Yuan claimed to be a minister, which made the people above very happy.

"Lin Qing's family has made meritorious contributions to protecting the country, catching traitors alive for me, and the merit is great, and I am very happy, and I will be rewarded immediately!"

As soon as Zhao Gou's words fell, an old eunuch walked to the front of the palace wall and took out a yellow list in his hand.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Suizhou Zhizhou Lin Yuan, fought bravely, captured the traitor Zhang Bangchang for me, and the merit was high Haide, and he was immediately crowned the Marquis of Chujiang, and the third rank of Jin was ......"

"Give Lin Yuanguan Wendian Bachelor, Champion General, Zheng Sanpin, reward a third-class Hou Mansion, give 100,000 taels of gold, 1,000 silk and satin, 100 boxes of pearl jade, to encourage!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Yuanzuo bowed his thanks.

But he began to scold his mother in his heart, Zhao Gou's reward was really very light.

A title, the Marquis of Chujiang, is still a third-class marquis, far inferior to the Duke of Yue Fei and others.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, titles were divided into five grades: king, duke, marquis, uncle, and son.

Only the Zhao and Song clans can be crowned.

Dukes are those ministers who have made great contributions, such as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others, all of whom have been awarded the title of a duke.

Below him is the Marquis.

The marquis is further divided into three classes, with the first class marquis being the highest and the third class being the secondary.

Zhao Gou conferred Lin Yuan's title of Marquis of Chujiang.

You must know that the title of the word Chu Jiang is one of the Ten Halls of Hell Yama.

Zhao Gou's careful thinking, this is to Lin Yuan's death!

Lin Yuan felt that he had captured Zhang Bangchang alive, the emperor of the puppet Chu, although it was not as great as Yue Fei and others, but it was worth the title of duke of a county.

At the beginning, Zhao Gou offered a reward for Kong Yanzhou, and he rewarded a marquis.

Zhang Bangchang is the emperor, is it not as valuable as Kong Yanzhou?

After listening to this holy decree, Lin Yuan already knew in his heart that Zhao Gou, the emperor, really didn't have a good impression of him in his heart.

As for the scholar of the Guanwen Palace, this is a civil official position, and he was given this official position and had the right to speak in the court.

The champion general is a complete military attaché who has no right to command the army, and is purely for decoration.

Because of these two positions, Lin Yuan even had to stay in Lin'an City, and he couldn't go anywhere.

This is tantamount to house arrest in disguise.

The only thing that pleased Lin Yuan was 100,000 taels of gold, as well as 1,000 horses of silk and silk, and 100 boxes of pearls and jade.

Silk satin is a royal tribute.

Silk is divided into lower grade silk, middle grade silk, top grade silk, and best silk.

Further up, there is silk and satin.

A piece of silk of the lower grade is worth 1,000 copper coins, and a horse of silk satin is worth 1,000 times that of the silk of the lower grade.

That is, a piece of silk and silk, worth 10 taels of gold.

And pearl jadeite is not uncommon in the wealthy Great Song Dynasty, 100 boxes are worth almost 100,000 gold.

These things add up to about 300,000 taels of gold.

It's a lot of money.

In addition, Zhao Gou also rewarded him with a third-class marquis mansion.

Although he knew that this was a tool for Zhao Gou to trap him.

However, in this Lin'an City, where every inch of land is expensive, a third-class marquis mansion is worth 200,000 gold.

All the rewards were added together, and the total was 500,000 taels of gold.

Zhang Bangchang's reward is almost the same price.

As for Zhang Wenguang, who Lin Yuan brought over, it seems that he has been ignored.

Even if he was worth 10,000 taels of gold, Zhao Gou would not give it to Lin Yuan.

It's a free gift.

After the old eunuch finished reading the holy decree, he handed the holy decree to the little eunuch on the side and motioned for him to send it down to Lin Yuan.

And he took out another decree.

This decree was written to Zhang Bangchang.

The content of the decree is very simple, that is, to be put into prison and awaiting processing.

Immediately, several palace guards took Zhang Bangchang and Zhang Wenguang away.

After the will was read out, Lin Yuan found the canopy and was ready to leave.

The old eunuch stood on the palace wall and said again: "Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow Your Majesty will set up a night banquet in the palace, and then invite you to bring your wives and relatives to participate together!" ”

"We will obey the Holy Commandment!" Yue Fei and the others bowed and saluted.

The old eunuch nodded with satisfaction, looked at Lin Yuan again, and said, "Lord Lin, you are the protagonist of tomorrow's night banquet, don't be late!" ”

"That's nature." Lin Yuan smiled.
