Chapter 615: If nothing else

"Xuan ~ Zhongshan Kingdom Sacrifice Prisoner Ji Di ~~ Enter the Palace~~~"

The words of the Yellow Gate Squire are round, and in the loud shouts, Ji Di, who is holding the wooden box, and Wen Xi, who is also holding the wooden box, strode up the Dan steps together.

Except for the two of them, no one else is eligible to go to the temple.

Wen Xi's legs were trembling.

He was a soldier of the Great Wall Legion, so naturally he did not come to Chang'an City in rotation.

When I saw this majestic palace complex, I was already dry and didn't dare to look at it directly.

When I entered the hall, I saw countless nobles who didn't even have a chance to look up in the past, and my legs trembled uncontrollably.

And this is the power of hierarchy and system.

Those who can break the great pressure brought by this power are not mortals.

Ji Di, who was expressionless, glared at Wen Xi without a trace, and then stepped forward and walked to the middle position under the attention of everyone, and then bowed to the Son of Heaven in a regular manner.

Wen Xi here, he didn't dare to raise his head directly, and followed Ji Di's pace step by step.

Of course, the wooden box in my hand was held tighter.

"Minister, Ji Di. Meet Your Majesty~~~Your Majesty Ten Thousand Years~~~"

"Aiqing has worked hard."

Liu Qi said with a smile on his face, "And I will destroy the Aries Department, break its royal court and kill its king, and tell me in detail." ”

"Whoa."

Although Ji Di is a cool official, his literary skills are not bad, and he speaks clearly and carefully from beginning to end.

It was only when the Aries King escaped and the Han cavalry pursued him that Wen Xi was introduced, "Your Majesty, Wen Xi of the cavalry school under the command of the Eastern Governor of Dingxiang County, pursued and captured the Aries King, and sacrificed it to the king." The king was angry that the Aries King's department had helped to abuse and harass the people of the Han Dynasty for many years, and was specially ordered to be beheaded. ”

After speaking, he saw that Wen Xi was swinging and did not react, so he pushed him covertly.

Wen Xi shuddered, and suddenly remembered the process of being taught and trained many times along the way before, and hurriedly stepped forward with two steps on his knees, lowered his head and raised the wooden box in his hand high, "Wen Xi, the cavalry school under the command of the eastern governor of Xiangxian County, dedicates the head of the Xiongnu Aries King!" ”

Liu Qi, who was squinting, nodded and nodded to the Huangmen waiter on the side.

The Yellow Gate Squire hurriedly stepped forward and took the wooden box from Wen Xi's hand.

At this time, there was a little bit of an accident.

Because Wen Xi grabbed it too tightly, the Huangmen squire couldn't take it away at once, but fell to the ground unsteadily.

Laughter suddenly sounded all around, but the Yellow Gate Squire was pale and frightened.

At this time, such a thing happened, do you want Lao Tzu's life?!

What is it? This is a loss of honor in front of the king.

Wen Xi's head was also confused, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

He just cared too much about the wooden box in his hand, because he knew that this was the key to his family's transformation from a commoner to a nobleman, so he subconsciously didn't let go, it was really not intentional.

Ji Di glared at him with hatred and hatred, and wanted to kick it over.

Waste, what a waste.

That is, I was lucky to get the Aries King, but in essence, I am still a waste that can't do anything!

The thoughts of the cool officials are basically like this.

Fortunately, Liu Qi was in a good mood today, and he didn't take this matter to heart.

only urged the sentence 'don't hurry up and bring it quickly', even if it was revealed.

The heart that hung in his throat fell back again, and the Huangmen squire hurriedly got up, glared at Wen Xi who was full of shame on his face, and then snatched the wooden box away with both hands.

But Wen Xi, who came back to his senses, had already let go, and he didn't have the strength in his hands, but he made the Huangmen squire who was too strong almost lose his honor in front of the king again.

Fortunately, this time the Yellow Gate Squire was mentally prepared, and he just stumbled two steps.

And there is a seal on the wooden box, so there is no embarrassment of rolling the gourd directly on the main hall when the head falls.

The Yellow Gate Squire turned around and left, he didn't want to stay by the side of this disaster star at all, it was too bad.

The attendants opened the seal, quickly checked it, and after making sure that there was no problem, they placed the wooden box on the table in front of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Qi sat quietly, his eyes falling into the wooden box through the crown full of beads.

Looking at the head that had been soaked in lime powder and other things, I suddenly wanted to laugh.

The Aries Department and the Lou Fu Department, because they have been active in the Great Wall area for a long time, they are there almost every time they enter the Koukou.

Relying on the large number of cavalry and strong mobility, they have brought trouble to the Han over the years, and the Han people who have been slaughtered and plundered by them are more than tens of thousands.

Liu Qi bowed his head with satisfaction, closed the wooden box and let the Huangmen waiter take the wooden box away.

Then he looked at Wen Xi, "You have a great merit in capturing the enemy chieftain, where are you from?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty." Wen Xi hurriedly responded: "The minister is from Tongxiang, Zuoyi County, Hedong County. ”

"Hmm."

Liu Qi nodded again, "Meritorious service will be rewarded, my Han Dynasty cannot be crowned marquis without military merits, since you have made the merit of capturing the king, when you are the marquis of Guannei, I will make you the Marquis of Zuoyi, and there are 900 households in the food, and in the future, Zuoyi will be renamed Wenxi County." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wen Xi's tears immediately fell.

He immediately sobbed and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!" ”

What is changing one's life against the sky, what is a grassroots counterattack, and what is one step to the sky!

Here in Dahan, as long as your military merits are in place, it is not impossible to become a marquis in one step.

Of course, if there is a good daughter in the family, if she is lucky, she can also be a marquis if she becomes a relative.

It's just that the gold content of the titles of such marquis is too low, and people usually die except for them.

Where is it like Wen Xi who has such a hard military exploits, even if it is the Son of Heaven, he must not be removed for no reason.

Not to mention that Wen Xi has ascended to the sky in one step, from a riding school to Guan Neihou, only to say that Ji Di has already sent the golden seal of the Aries King, the Hun Da Dan Yu to the Aries King, the important household registration of the Aries Department, etc.

According to the tradition of Middle-earth, the destruction of the Aries tribe this time is basically equivalent to the destruction of a vassal state, or the destruction of its country, the kind that will not be worshipped.

This kind of great achievement of destroying the country, placed in the Han-Hungarian Hundred Years War, the Han has been in passive defense, and has never achieved such brilliant results in the background, how to reward it.

In addition to Wenxi, the first to benefit is Ji Di.

"Ji Di, you supervise the grain and grass, and the transfer of military funds is the behind-the-scenes hero of this great victory." Liu Qi gave a big welfare, "Title you as a township, Kunwu Hou." ”

Even the city government is in turmoil at this time, and it is difficult to control itself.

In addition, everyone who participated in the war this time was rewarded, and those county captains who followed Li Yunze out of the fortress were all named pavilion marquis.

The sergeants did not fall behind, and basically everyone was promoted to two ranks!

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin Dynasty's military merit title system, and also had a 20-level military merit title system.

In addition to the title, Liu Qi also rewarded him greatly, and gold and silver coins were sprinkled on the soldiers like raindrops.

Such a rich reward really made many people's eyes red.

Many people shouted with red eyes, asking the Son of Heaven to order a war against the Huns, they want to go to the battlefield!

Liu Qi, who was stimulated by the victory, also wanted to destroy the Xiongnu tomorrow, but his reason made him calm down, and he had to arrange the prince's affairs first.

Under this big victory, so many people have been richly rewarded, but Li Yunze and his close ministers have not received any obvious benefits.

However, when Liu Qi said, "When I get to the foreign affairs, I ordered the king of Zhongshan to enter Chang'an to meet him." ”

As soon as these words came out, people with a little brain knew that the Son of Heaven did not reward the King of Zhongshan, but that there was a great reward waiting for the King of Zhongshan.

Once the King of Zhongshan comes to Chang'an City, if nothing else, he will inevitably be canonized as the crown prince!

In this way, it can also explain why none of Li Yunze's close ministers have been rewarded with marquis and knighthood.

Grace comes from above.

Ji Di was essentially sent by Liu Qi to the King of Zhongshan, and this time he came as a messenger, and it was reasonable to reward him.

But the close ministers around King Zhongshan are all people from King Zhongshan.

Their reward will be given by the king of Zhongshan.

In this way, those close ministers inherit the kindness of King Zhongshan.

If the Son of Heaven gives a reward on his behalf, it is not beautiful.

The battle for the national capital, after the Son of Heaven said the words to let the King of Zhongshan enter Chang'an City, came to an end.

If nothing else, King Zhongshan will become the next Son of Heaven.

Many people who are active have already begun to prepare to heat the stove in advance.

It's not a cold stove but a hot stove, because of the fact that King Zhongshan became the crown prince, everyone has long been mentally prepared.

The only obstacle before was that Changle Palace had not expressed its position.

Thinking of this, many people's eyes were on Zhou Yafu, who had always been unsightly.

Zhou Yafu is not opposed to a prince who can fight to become the crown prince, but as the prime minister, he has to consider the overall situation of the Han Dynasty, and he can't hurt the relationship between Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace because of this.

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, glanced at the expressionless Zhou Yafu, and immediately knew that he was still insisting on his beliefs, and he was immediately dissatisfied.

'Idiot? I have to listen to the opinions of Changle Palace for everything, so wouldn't I have become a puppet! You look like this, how did you do it! ’

The more he thought about it, the more angry Liu Qi became, and immediately ordered a banquet to be held.

The chamberlains and palace maids quickly brought wine and meat dishes and placed them on the table in front of everyone.

This kind of court banquet and food are naturally exquisite.

One of the most important main dishes is boiled lamb in plain water.

A large piece of lamb cooked in water and served with just a few salt and spices is always the first main course of the banquet.

Everyone smiled and picked up the chopsticks to prepare for dinner, the musicians around the hall had already begun to play, and a team of dancing girls came to the hall to dance, a harmonious atmosphere.

"Bump!"

There was a loud bang, which startled everyone. Even the dancing girl was frightened and jumped the wrong step.

Everyone's eyes looked towards the source of the sound, but they saw Prime Minister Zhou Yafu's face full of anger and panting.

Those who are far away don't know why the prime minister suddenly gets angry, but those who are reliable and close can see it.

For example, Liu Wu, the king of Liang who was sitting next to Zhou Yafu, saw Zhou Yafu's case, but there were no chopsticks!

The chamberlains and court ladies would not make such a low-level mistake, because it would cost them their heads.

But this did happen, and there was only one reason.

Liu Wu turned his head to look at Liu Qi, the son of heaven not far away, looked at Liu Qi's calm and waveless face, and lamented in his heart, "What a careful eye." ’

What everyone didn't expect was that the prime minister, who had an ugly face, actually reached out and grabbed the meat and ate it, and everyone was shocked.

It's just that when it was time to sacrifice the prisoners to the Taimiao Temple in the afternoon, Zhou Yafu did not appear.

Just when everyone in Chang'an City was talking about Zhou Yafu eating meat but not chopsticks, the latest news came out in Changle Palace.

Empress Dowager Dou said that she would like to see the prince who defeated the Huns, and told the Son of Heaven that Liu Sheng should be given more important work.

When this news came out, the well-informed people in Chang'an City understood that there was no obstacle for the prince to become the crown prince.

Well, if nothing else.
