Chapter 126: The Emperor's Grace is Mighty
As Zhang Rang and other eunuchs thought, Liu Hong, who was playing in the harem, was very happy at first after seeing the good news, but when it came to the reward, Liu Hong, who had calmed down, was stunned for a long time with the good news. In the end, I lost the heart to have fun, and it was announced that the next day the court meeting would be held.
It was not surprising that when the next day on the main hall, the ministers of civil and military affairs were lined up on both sides, and after Zhang Rang read out the good news, the hall fell into a brief uproar.
Although almost all the ministers knew the content of the good news, it did not affect the discussion of the ministers, but compared to the usual, the court captain, who did not need to maintain discipline today, spoke out, and the hall soon fell silent.
The ministers looked at each other, but in the end, no one was in a hurry to make contributions to Jiang Qi, whether it was the three princes and nine kings or the general He Jin.
It wasn't until Liu Hong wanted to name him that there was a magical scene, only to see the eunuchs and the party jumping up and down, and Zhang Rang even proposed to reward Jiang Qi.
Listening to the eunuchs and their party's praise of Jiang Qi, the ministers in the court couldn't help but sigh, and the eunuchs also changed their sex.
But when I finally heard Zhang Rang propose to send a holy decree to ask Jiang Qi to end the war at the end of the year, the ministers reacted, it turned out that they were still that virtuous.
Of course, in the entire court meeting, in addition to not being active in rewarding Jiang Qi's ministers, he strongly agreed with the request for the emperor to reward the three armies.
It's just sad that these pampered magnates are not soldiers who are heartbroken for the country's borders and blood-stained territory. Compared with the lowly Qiu Ba, they care more about their children who go to make military achievements.
With such intrigue in the court, it can be seen that the helplessness in Jiang Qi's heart is really not untargeted, he lives in the temple at a young age, and it is strange that no one envies, envy and hate, plus he has no foundation. At this moment, there is really no difference between walking on the cliff, and if you make a slight mistake, you will never recover.
The war ahead is changing, and when the good news arrives in Beijing, the intrigue is naturally not only in the court.
The Jiang family, as a big family, whether it is from the clan or outside the clan, is equally exciting.
Of course, because Jiang Qi came with good news at the moment, the snobs who scolded him didn't realize the danger, but they all flocked to him, and the people who gave gifts alone formed a long queue in his Hou Mansion.
Also because Jiang Qi has not been married yet, in this long queue of visits, there are many people who come to say goodbye, and even more directly bring their beautiful daughter, as long as the Jiang family is willing, it is okay not to go back today.
It's just a pity that these sycophants didn't have the opportunity to enter the Yiyang Hou Mansion today, as early as dawn, the owner of the Hou Mansion had already left the city and returned to Wubao to worship his ancestors.
Since ancient times, it has been said that mothers are more expensive than children, and it is completely reasonable, just like Jiang's mother, who was born with Jiang Qi, and now whether it is in the capital or in the clan, it is transcendent.
Especially in the clan, even if the status of the patriarch is not high, but every word and deed is comparable to her father's influence, even if there is jealous gossip, but now who dares to openly contradict it.
Just like today, when the news of her son Jiang Qijie reached Jingshi, although she was a woman, the elders in the family still respectfully invited her into the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.
"My sister is so beautiful today! The gestures are full of grace, and others don't know and think that my sister is a concubine in the palace! After completing the ancestor worship, the female relatives of the clan gathered together to speak, and Jiang Xia, the sister closest to Jiang's mother, immediately pulled her sister and said.
"My sister can't talk nonsense, is my sister old at jokes!!" Influenced by her son, Jiang's mother, who is now pampered, was laughed at by her sister and pretended to be angry when she touched Shi Fan's face.
"Where is it, where is it, the little sister is praising the sister, people say that the sister is younger than the little sister. By the way, sister, did Boxiao's nephew say when he will come back? Holding her sister and laughing, Jiang Xia asked in a low voice.
"Yesterday there was a writing, but Bo Xiao said that although the enemy army was defeated, it did not eliminate the hidden danger, and it may be in the summer to be able to teach." also put away her smiling face, Jiang Mu whispered.
"Isn't there still half a year to go, isn't my sister preparing for Boxiao's wedding?" Jiang Xia, who was obviously a little nervous, lost her smiling face and frowned.
"Huh!! Is Xiaomei worried about Qi'er?? As a mother, Mother Jiang didn't know what her sister was thinking, so she immediately took her hand.
"The sword has no eyes, how can I not worry, my sister is also burning incense and praying at home with her mother every day." Jiang Xia smiled bitterly.
"Don't worry, although Bo Xiao didn't mention Qi'er and Chu'er, my sister had already asked the soldier who came back to deliver the letter yesterday." Looking at her sister's expression, as a person who came over, Jiang Mu smiled faintly, and then said mysteriously.
"Sister has Qi'er's news!!" Obviously, it was the news that Jiang Xia wanted to know, and she almost lost her temper when she heard her son's name.
"Sister, don't worry, the soldier with the letter said that Qi'er and Chu'er stayed by Boxiao's side and listened, as if both of them had made meritorious contributions." Jiang Mu smiled and praised.
"It's okay, the little sister naturally knows that they can't suffer a loss with Boxiao." Hearing that her son was fine, Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief and said with a relieved burden.
"Little sister, don't worry, maybe when the army returns to Beijing this time, Qi'er and they will all have a reputation." Jiang Mu smiled.
"It's okay for the child to be big, as long as it's safe, now that the family is rising, they should also contribute." In the face of the fact that the clan is now supporting the army, Jiang Xia, as a concubine, did not dare to hold back, only smiled reluctantly.
"By the way, the last time my grandmother mentioned Qi'er's marriage, did my sister think about it?" Seeing that her sister was worried, Jiang's mother immediately changed the topic.
"Xin'er, what did she say?" Although she didn't want her son's marriage to be too utilitarian, Jiang Xia didn't refuse to accept it, and said tentatively at the moment.
"Xin'er said that Ci Ming Gong has a daughter under his knees, just and Xu, and it is very suitable to have a rare good name, and now Ci Ming Gong has just entered Beijing, saying that he is here to preside over the wedding, if his sister is willing, his sister can go to protect the media." Jiang Mu said.
"Xun Ciming, it seems to be Xin'er's uncle, right? Now Boxiao's relatives are almost out of order, if Qi'er marries the daughter of Ci Minggong, isn't the generation chaotic! Although Xun Ciming and Xun Shuang are very famous, Jiang Xiadao, who has not yet been carried away.
"Yes!! Why did you forget this stubble, then ask Xin'er later, to see if his peers have a suitable one. Thinking about it, Jiang Mu sighed.
"Sister, have you ever thought about what will happen if our two families marry again?" Seeing that her sister didn't fully understand what she meant, Jiang Xia reminded.
"My sister is saying that I am afraid that the Xun family will dominate under Boxiao!" As a child of a family, Jiang's mother is not a stupid person, so she reacted immediately.
"I heard that the Xun family's nephew has been pushed by Bo Xiao as the left and right arms, and several other strategists have come out to Yingchuan, my sister should think and consider for Bo Xiao." Jiang Xia said first.
"Yes! Although Feng, Bo, and Xing's nephews all served in the army, I heard Boxiao say that it was difficult for them to stand alone, but Jiang Wei was worthy of a big responsibility, but he was not a descendant. Now that Qi'er is smart, he really can't let him fall to other families. Looking left and right, Jiang Mu muttered quietly.
"Sister don't worry, little sister knows how to do it." Jiang Xia was very happy to hear her sister's heart-to-heart words. However, she also understood what her sister meant, Jiang Qi was not from the Jiang family after all, but wanted to recruit her own henchmen, and her son Xu Qi was the best candidate.
Of course, if Jiang Qi is regarded as her own, Jiang Xia will not refuse this proposal.
It's nothing more than the two sisters speculating about each other in private, and even forming an alliance, after all, the most sinister thing in the world is the human heart, not to mention the big family, it is an ordinary family, and brothers will fight each other because of a little money.
But soon, the two sisters changed from being prepared for danger in times of peace, and all this was because a little girl the age of a golden hairpin was leading a bouncing elf to laugh.
Obviously, the appearance of the elf not only attracted the attention of Jiang's mother and sisters, but even the female dependents who surrounded them in twos and threes also gathered around and teased each other.
It's strange to say, although the elf has only spoken for a short time, but she is very naughty, in the face of the laughter of adults, she still doesn't recognize life, and makes a grimace from time to time, which makes her happy.
"Grandma, aunt!!" The elf in a snow-white shirt skirt jumped up, and when he saw the target, he immediately shouted milkily.
"My little darling, slip carefully." Facing the elf's call, Jiang Mu immediately let go of all her worries, and hugged her in her arms after three or two steps.
"Grandma!! Great-grandma's scarf for the child is beautiful! As soon as he was picked up, the elf immediately touched the silver fox scarf around his neck with his little hand and smiled.
"Then how can Nian Niang thank her great-grandmother!!" Mother Jiang touched the child's warm little hand.
"Great-grandmother asked the child to kiss her, hehe!" The elf said with a wink of his big, twinkling eyes.
"The girl, just like her aunt, is weird and cute all day long." Hearing the crisp voice of the elf, Jiang Bomu, who had just come around, said.
"Who said no, when I saw the appearance of Nian Niang's ghost, I wanted to hurt it." Jiang Xing's mother Zhou also continued.
"I think she is also the same as Boxiao, she has been mischievous since she was a child, and she caught ants yesterday and put them in the girl's powder box, isn't it!!" For the praise of her younger siblings, Jiang's mother naturally would not refute it, but she still scratched the little nose of the elf in her arms.
"That is, if you don't know that Nian Niang is a girl, the little sister will think that she is a boy when she was a child. Their father and daughter were completely printed from the same mold. Jiang Xia also teased the elf and said.
"A daughter is blessed to be like her father, maybe, Boxiao can still fight for our little Nianniang this time." Jiang Feng's mother, Gao, also said with a smile.
"Yes, but it's a pity, age is a daughter, otherwise maybe it's not necessarily a boy." Jiang Xia said with a smile when she thought about it.
"Grandma, did my cousin say that my father is coming back?" Although he didn't understand what the adults said, the elf in his arms asked seriously while holding his grandmother's head with his hand.
"Nian Niang misses Daddy!!" Mother Jiang kissed the elf and asked.
"But isn't Daddy in the study??" To the grandmother's question, the elf innocently touched his hair and ended up with a joke.
"Hahaha......" It was obvious that the child's words were unscrupulous, which immediately caused a joke, and finally led her over to her cousin Xu Ya smiled and explained: "Luo'er, don't talk nonsense, the one riding a horse in the study is a portrait of your father, your father went to Xiliang, and he will come back to see you soon." ”
"Did Nian Niang hear that? If you wait for your father to come back and you still say this, your father will die of laughter. Holding back a smile, Jiang Xia said.
"Oh...... It turned out that Luo'er had two fathers. Obviously, how can a little child know so much, and when Jiang Luo touched his chin quirkily to show that he understood, it was another joke.
It's a pity that the frolicking time was not long, and when the old housekeeper of the Jiang family came to the backyard in a panic, this harmony was immediately broken. Of course, after all the exclamations, no one blamed the butler for his faux pas.
When the old and young in the backyard came to the front yard in groups, a tall incense case had been placed in front of the main house of the clan, and at this moment, the Jiang family led by the head of the family, Jiang Qun, had already bowed down.
Holding her granddaughter in a hurry, Jiang's mother didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately knelt down in a vacant seat next to her father.
"In the ...... of the Holy Decree" saw that the protagonist was coming, and the eunuch who passed the decree after the incense case immediately picked up the holy decree on the case.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Although many Jiang clan people who had never seen this scene were a little timid, the effect of calling the mountain was not bad.
"In the second winter of the Han Dynasty, November Jiachen: Emperor Hong of the Great Han Dynasty said: Jiang's chariot cavalry general Qi, for the national war, Zhenwei Quartet, Wei Zhenyidi. The day before yesterday, Yu Meiyang hit the rebels of the rebellion, and the merit is in the community, and I am very relieved!! ”
"The general Qi of the chariot cavalry, the young and loyal, and the talented. Lourdes is in people, and parents are also. Therefore, the imperial court chased the tin and arrested it, and the mother of the general Qi, Jiang, was filial piety and thrift, chaste and quiet, and promoted his officials. In the holy order: I hereby seal the king of Meiyang, and seal 800 households with the benefit of Meiyang. ”
"Jiang Shiqun, the ancestor of the general Qi, has a good way to teach his son, and his merits are in the ages. In accordance with the holy decree: Zite Feng Pingting Hou, Yifeng 600 households. ”
After the edict, the Jiang family was in an uproar, not to mention that the head of the family, Jiang Qun, had sealed a pavilion, but Jiang's mother had sealed a beautiful Yangjun, which was unthinkable.
You must know that it is not easy for a woman to be crowned a monarch in her youth, so she said who was the last monarch of the Han Dynasty, and that was Wuyangjun, the mother of the great general He Jin.
Even if Jiang Qi is in the community, can he compare with the emperor's relatives? It can be said that among the ministers, Jiang Qi is a scorpion, and he is the only one.
Today's holy decree, just a number, regardless of how many benefits are sealed, from today onwards, the Jiang family can be regarded as reaching the peak. It's just good or bad, and it won't be long before we know.
