Chapter 45 Worship the Marquis
Ah Limp said: "We escaped from the city overnight and left Danyang to go west. Although I was a little tired and a little bitter when I was in the beggar gang, and I was bullied, I was at least able to get a little food every day. ”
After that, Ah lame snorted and cried, and continued sadly: "But without the beggar gang, we are living on the streets, penniless, and we can't find any food, so we have to beg on the streets again. There are rules and regulations, and the beggars in the area are all from the beggars, and those beggars have never seen us, so they ask us where we are from, and we naturally cannot say that we escaped from the Danyang rudder. When the leading beggar saw that I was missing a leg and a hand was missing, he saw that we were pitiful and had the ability to ask for food, so he introduced us to the Huainan rudder. ”
"This lame can speak well, and he is diligent and tight, I liked it very much when I saw it, so I stayed by my side and used it as a personal disciple. Qin Miao, the helmsman of Huainan who had drunk some wine, interjected.
Ah Qian saluted Qin Miao with a bottle of wine, and bowed: "Thank you to Lord Qin for taking me in, Ah Que and I didn't starve to death on the streets, otherwise how would I have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the decisive battle of Huaishui." ”
Qin Miao said: "This time I participated in the war thanks to Ah Li's insistence and persuasion, and I was also swaying from side to side at that time. The rudder of the beggar gang is all over the world, and there are many of them, but most of the rudder owners are unwilling to help the Beifu army against the Qin state, and they all think that the Qin state is too strong and the Beifu soldiers are bound to be defeated. ”
Ah Lian interjected: "I heard that there was a heroic boy on the rivers and lakes, who became the leader of the martial arts alliance, and also led Hu Bing and the knights of the rivers and lakes to fight bravely against the enemy and repelled the vanguard of the Qin army. Of course, at that time, Ah Lian didn't know that the heroic boy who became the leader of the martial arts alliance was Shi Ning, he was usually used to seeing the northern Hu soldiers invading the Great Jin, killing innocent people, and the world was in turmoil, all because of the northern Hu people, so he had long wanted to take up arms one day to kill a few of his Hu soldiers to avenge the relatives who died in the war.
Qin Miao said: "If the other rudders of the beggar gang don't come to help the Beifu army, my Huainan rudder is the closest to the Weishui battlefield, and if you don't come to contribute to the country, you will definitely be laughed at by the chivalrous warriors of the rivers and lakes." ”
Ah lame said: "My little beggar only thinks about how to get something to eat on weekdays, so hungry and not dying, who would have thought that when he contributes to the country, he is really a soil dog and a wolf." ”
Causing everyone to laugh, at this time, Shi Ning raised his glass and celebrated the victory of the decisive battle of Weishui together, "After this battle, the Qin army was defeated, and the Qin State will no longer be able to invade my Great Jin, and my Great Jin will definitely be peaceful in the world from now on, and I will report to the court for your credit!"
On the occasion of New Year's Day, the lights in Jiankang City are colorful, the people are happy, and the joy of victory is everywhere.
After resting in the camp of Weishui for a few days, the Beifu army and the knights of the rivers and lakes who participated in the war were invited to the palace of Jiankang Taicheng to celebrate, and the Beifu army went first, and Shi Ning, as the leader of the martial arts alliance, arrived in Jiankang City one day late together with the chivalrous warriors of various factions.
At the time of the decisive battle of Weishui, Ran Shu and Jun'er, Xin'er and other sergeants and their dependents were sent to the relative safety of Huainan City to settle, and after the decisive battle was won, Ran Shu went to Jiankang City with Shi Ning in Huainan City.
Only listen to the sound of gongs and drums, many people gathered in the city, and the stage is interpreting the two major governors of Xie Shi and Xie Xuan sitting in the tent of the commander of the Chinese army during the battle of Weishui, calmly commanding the Beifu army. Then a young general with deep eyes and fair skin in black lieutenant armor appeared, single-handedly, deep into the enemy's encirclement and bravely retreated.
"Brother Shi Ning, look at it, is the general on the stage you!" Ran Shu pulled Shi Ning into the crowd and watched the show.
"Let's hurry into the palace, the emperor is still waiting in the palace to celebrate our achievements!" Shi Ning had no intention of watching the play, but he was pulled hard by Ran Shu, so he also approached the stage to take a look, and saw that the excellent man who played him on the stage slashed a large piece of Qin soldiers with a long sword, "I didn't kill anyone!" Shi Ning said unhappily in his heart.
Ran Shu giggled and said, "Hehe, Brother Shi Ning, you are a famous hero now!
Shi Ning couldn't resist Ran Shu, so he had to accompany him absentmindedly to watch this "not very real" play.
Jiankang Imperial City because the main palace is "Shangshutai", located in the center of the imperial city, and named "Taicheng", the palace of Taicheng is magnificent and majestic, the palace is sublime, and it is composed of multiple city walls.
"This imperial city is so big! so many houses, all of them are so splendidly built, how nice it would be to give me a place to live!" said the beggar who accompanied him.
"The emperor will really enjoy it! Living in such a big house alone!" Ah Que also chimed in.
After Shi Ning and the others passed through the three palace gates, the most central and largest was Shangshutai, which was the Shangshu court where hundreds of officials discussed politics. Bypass Shangshutai, walk a way, it is a large palace again, the left and right sides are some scattered halls, gardens, only to see the most central hall plaque reads "Taiji Palace", it is the place where the Jin Emperor feasted.
"Xuanbei Mansion Commander Captain Shi Ning and all the righteous men of the rivers and lakes are here!" the eunuchs in the Taiji Hall shouted one after another, until the sound reached a place where Shi Ning and the others could hear it.
Ran Shu dressed Shi Ning, and Shi Ning raised his head and strode into the Taiji Hall with all the heroes of the rivers and lakes who had made meritorious contributions.
After entering the palace, after performing the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, Emperor Jin on the dragon chair suddenly stood up and said, "General Shi, please get up quickly!" and walked up the steps to Shi Ning and helped him up.
Shi Ning raised his head, only to see that this Jin Emperor was still young and childish, not a few years older than himself.
Emperor Jin gave Shi Ning a seat, and Shi Ning thanked him and knelt on the ground naturally. Of course, before coming to Jiankang Palace, these were the royal etiquette that Ran Shu had worked hard to teach him for three days.
I saw that the chief of the seats was Prime Minister Xie An, and down in turn was Xie Shi, the governor of the Beifu Army, and Xie Xuan, the deputy governor, and Shi Ning sat behind Xie Xuan.
However, it is said that in the battle of Weishui, when the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty defeated the vanguard troops of the former Qin and launched a general attack on the retreating Qianqin million army, the governor and deputy governor Xie Shi and Xie Xuan sent Pegasus to Jiankang to report the victory. The guest knew that it was a battle report sent from the front line of Weishui, so he couldn't help but ask Xie An: "Prime Minister, how is the battle going?"
Xie An said slowly, "Xie Shi and Xie Xuan are worthy of being my Xie family's good sons, leading the Beifu army to defeat the Qin people in the end" When the guest heard this, he was so happy that he didn't want to play chess anymore, and wanted to quickly tell others the good news, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left. Xie An sent off the guests and returned to the inner house, his excitement could no longer be suppressed, and when he crossed the threshold, he staggered, and broke the teeth of the clogs on his feet.
"Since the Wuhu Rebellion, China has not had a day of peace, and the battle of Weishui has won a great victory in my Great Jin, so that the northern Hu soldiers dare not invade the south again, such an achievement is the biggest victory in the DPRK since my Great Jin Dynasty crossed to the south!" This Jin Emperor is the ninth emperor after the Jin Dynasty Nandu Jiankang, named Sima Yao, only ten years old was established as the crown prince and inherited the throne, initially by the great Sima Huan Wen auxiliary government, after the death of Huan Wen in the first year of Ningkang, and by the sister-in-law Chongde Empress Dowager Chu Garlic to listen to the government, until the first year of Taiyuan, the Empress Dowager Chongde returned the power to the Jin Emperor Sima Yao, but the real power is still in the hands of the Chen Jun Xie family represented by Prime Minister Xie An.
Last year was the eighth year of Taiyuan, with the assistance and insistence of Xie An, Xie Shi, Xie Xuan, etc., it was decided to meet the former Qin army, and this time defeated the former Qin million army, won the victory of the battle of Huangshui, preserved the national fortune of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, defended the great rivers and mountains of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and at the same time the authority of the Jin Emperor Sima Yao was also greatly strengthened.
Emperor Jin was sitting in a precarious position, and the eunuch began to read out the decree of the reward.
Aiqing Xie An, as the commander-in-chief of the rear of the Battle of Weishui, made wise and decisive decisions, defeated the Qin people's million-strong army with 80,000 Beifu soldiers, and won long-term peace for the Great Jin.
"Your Majesty!" Xie An knelt down to receive the reward.
Emperor Sima Yao of the Jin Dynasty hurriedly asked for help and said, "Taifu Xie has worked hard and made great achievements, and he will not bow down when he sees him in the future!" If it weren't for Prime Minister Xie An, I'm afraid that the former Qinhu people in the north would have been drinking horses and grazing in Jiankang City.
At that time, there were also surrender factions and main battle factions in the DPRK, and when the news of the news of the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian personally led a million troops from the capital Chang'an to Jiankang, the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Jin Emperor Sima Yao and the civil and military officials of the capital were frightened and panicked, and the soldiers and civilians of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were unwilling to let Jiangnan fall into the hands of the former Qin, and the army was looking forward to advocating the idea of the former prime minister Xie An, who was a scholar clan of Chen County, with a prominent status, and a great reputation among the scholar class at that time, and the officials in the court and China believed that Xie An had the ability to resist the million army of the former Qin. At that time, Xie An had already resigned as prime minister and lived in seclusion in Dongshan, unwilling to come out to be an official again, and there was a saying among the scholars: "Xie An did not come out to be an official, presided over the battle against the Qin soldiers, and told the people of the world to do something?" Under the bitter pleading of the Jin Emperor Sima Yao, hundreds of officials, scholars and the people, Xie An took pity on the suffering of the people in the world, and thought about the common people in the world, so he decided to "make a comeback" to continue to serve as the prime minister and preside over the overall situation of the war against the former Qin.
"Xie Shi, the Governor of the Beifu Army, listened to the seal! The Battle of Weishui Xie Shi, as the commander of the Metropolitan Governor, sat on the front line, was not afraid of danger, commanded well, won the victory of the war, and was specially awarded the general of the Chinese army, Shang Shuling, and entered the Nankang County Gong!"
In the battle of Weishui, Xie Xuan, as the deputy governor of the vanguard, went into battle in armor, fearless of strong enemies, defeated the vanguard troops of the Qin soldiers, and took the lead for the battlefield.
Xie Shi and Xie Xuan thanked Emperor Jin for their rewards one by one, and sat down happily.
"Beifu Army Commander Captain Shi Ning listens to the seal!"
"Brother Shi Ning, it's your turn, what kind of official does Your Majesty want to appoint you?" Ran Shu sat on the deputy seat behind Shi Ning, leaned over and whispered to Shi Ning.
The wine at the banquet was fragrant, this mellow wine was not available on weekdays, Shi Ning didn't care what kind of official he was sealed, what he was thinking about was when he could start drinking this wine, and he was intoxicated by the fragrance of this wine from time to time, so he said lightly: "What kind of official does he care!"
"In the battle of Weishui, Captain Shi Ning led Hu soldiers and knights of the rivers and lakes to charge into battle, entered the encirclement alone, captured the vanguard commander of the enemy army, was invincible, turned the tide of the battle, and was specially named the general of Shenwu and the Marquis of Wuling!"
After Shi Ning thanked Emperor Jin, he received the holy decree of reward, thoughtfully, and said in his heart: "Why did Your Majesty make me a Marquis of Wuling?"
