Dress to be a celebrity

When the good news came to Beijing, the New Year had not yet passed.

It's been five years...

Since the 22nd year, the captives invaded the south, invaded Yanmen, Biantou, broke Ningwu, peeped at Xinzhou...

At that time, Dalu was stationed near the border to graze, and often went to the pass to plunder. He regarded the border walls and fortresses as nothing, and killed soldiers and civilians for no reason.

Now the border is strictly maintained, and the captives dare not stay any longer.Within a few months after leaving the customs, the army went deep into the grassland and went straight to the depths of the Hetao. Instead, they surrounded a certain part of the captive bandits in the cape, captured a relative of the captive king alive, and another group of captive chieftains led their clan to ask for surrender.

Now that the Chinese New Year has not yet passed, it has only been five years, and the situation at the border has changed drastically!

General Xin Taidi slapped it heavily on the table, and shouted: "Reward! Great reward! King Qi and all the generals have worked hard and made great achievements. Let them rest and live for a year, and then fight again after the year. Order the supervisor Yang Rong to select someone to take the prisoners to Beijing , Send the captive chieftain and his relatives who want to be attached to Beijing to be sealed!"

In the memorials sent back to Beijing by Yang Shilang, Fu Guogong, Cheng Guogong and others, many praised King Qi for his bravery and courage to fight, and took the lead in fighting.

This time the scouts were able to go deep into the enemy's rear and find out where the bandits were stationed, and it was also because His Royal Highness King Qi was willing to share the military rations originally used by the prince's soldiers with the scouts.

He was able to save his own food for military affairs, and he wrote a letter to the King of Zhou, asking him to raise more portable and portable things such as biscuits and canned food; Please ask for more military rations, and send sentry and stealth artifacts——

It is the "torch" made by Huan Ling, the censor of the capital, and Song Shi, the magistrate of Song Dynasty in Hanzhong.Based on this, the spies determined the location of the captive chieftain, and the army rushed to attack at night, capturing all the princes and princes in one fell swoop.

One of the two princes loves soldiers like sons, and the other cares about the overall situation. This victory owes much to the strength of the two.

The Son of Heaven sighed: "Shu'er has grown up now. I thought he was just a little fidgety and didn't care about telling him things. In fact, I misunderstood him. This child is just bad at writing but good at martial arts. He is doing his best when he stays at the border. I am determined."

In recent years, King Qi has been frustrated in Beijing, and it may be a good thing for him and the court to be released outside the pass.

He drew a few circles next to the word "King of Qi" on the military newspaper with his fingertips, and knocked heavily on the table: "Then according to the story of "King of Nine Dragons" written by Taizu when he was young, he was named a 'General King', and given His chance to play!"

In addition, the three armies have their own rewards. The king of Zhou who is in charge of supplying the army's rations and equipment, and the shepherds from all over the country also have meritorious service, and they are all submitted to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites for discussion.

The Son of Heaven personally made the handbook and asked the servants to send it to the corridor.Not long after he left, there was a small servant Bing outside reporting: "His Royal Highness, King Wei, please see me."

The imperial court won a great victory, and the king of Wei was also happy.

The emperor was in a good mood, so he called him in, and asked affectionately, "Are you also here for your second brother's great victory?"

yes.The king of Wei saluted respectfully, cupped his hands and said: "Before, thanks to the grace of the father, Xu Erchen was walking in the Ministry of Rites, and the son read some files of the previous dynasty. With such a great victory this year, the old rules have to go to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices. Condolences to the ancestors."

That's right, he was only concerned with joy, conferring on the generals, and almost forgot about these etiquettes.

The emperor said with a smile: "You are more attentive than your second brother in the Ministry of Rites. You remember these etiquettes clearly. I also think that it is time to go to the Taimiao for a sacrifice..."

King Wei became more and more delighted with his father's affirmation, and took the initiative to suggest: "However, I think that although this battle is a big victory, it is only the first victory. There are famous generals such as Fuguogong and Chengguogong in the northwest, and they will definitely win. More great victories, so this time offering sacrifices to the emperor should also be taken seriously, but there is no need to do it too grandly once."

The Son of Heaven is not in good health in recent years, the sacrificial process is cumbersome, and the sacrificial clothes are heavy. If you go to the Taimiao to worship in person, you may damage the holy body, so you should choose suitable royal relatives and officials to sacrifice on your behalf.

Now that the two elder princes are at the border, don't they entrust him with everything in Beijing?

Although he didn't say this, but looking around the capital, there was indeed no prince or prince who could overwhelm him.The king of Wei had a well-thought-out plan, and he stood down and waited for his father's orders.

The emperor thought about it for a while, and he really told him: "You have worked hard in the Ministry of Rites, and I can entrust you with some things - I will add your brother, King Qi, as the King of the General. If you have it, you should overturn the old system and do this well.”

The joy on King Wei's face froze for a moment, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

His father only said in a gentle voice: "I know that this matter is very difficult, but now in addition to the New Year in the court, there is only one major event bestowed on the Sixth Army. You just work hard, and I will reward you if you do it well."

As for sacrificing ancestors, the eldest son should always do it solemnly.But now the king of Zhou still can't get away, so let him offer sacrifices during the New Year's sacrifices to heaven and ancestors.

He made up another letter and asked someone to send it to the cabinet urgently, and asked Lu Shoufu to add it when he arranged the bestowal and sacrificial ceremonies.Then he asked King Wei: "Do you have anything else to do? If there is nothing else, go back to the Ministry of Rites, discuss the reward as soon as possible, and send it to your emperor brother and the generals."

The king of Wei came here full of joy, and returned with a task he didn't want to take.

When they arrived at the Ministry of Rites, Lu Shoufu and the left and right servants heard about this, and congratulated him on getting such an important task, and told him about King Qi's achievements in this great war...

King Wei's face turned ashen, he coughed lightly, and said: "Since I was ordered to prepare the ceremony for the second emperor brother, it is time to go and see Taizu's ceremonies earlier."

Lu Shoufu said: "This old man is overjoyed. He asked Dian Bu to lead His Royal Highness King Wei to look up the books in the library at the back."

Then he asked the doctor next to him: "Have you compiled the categories and index numbers in the old daily life notes, official records, and instrument notes in the previous dynasty? A few years ago, I asked you to reprint all the books in the library according to the index method of Song Zhuangyuan. Check it out, if you haven't done it yet, it's our Ministry of Rites' fault that the King of Wei couldn't find the book."

Kaogongsi doctor said: "Master Shoufu, don't worry, although the Ministry of Rites is busy recording and the files are cumbersome, but after the books are sorted and sorted, it will be convenient for us to find books by ourselves, why don't you be careful?"

Everything related to their daily work and assessment content, even those in the early days of the country, has almost been edited, only a few insignificant regulations have not been completed.

Lu Shoufu watched King Wei go to the back library, twitched his long beard and sighed: "Back then, Ziqi was still in Beijing, and he gave the Imperial Academy a good way to print and request books. Now this thing is still in use, but people are in other provinces. Stayed for several years..."

I don't know if the merits of the young couple are enough to return to the court after this great victory.

But if they can come back, the king of Zhou depends on the holy will...

He didn't dare to speculate about Tian's family affairs, so he just thought about it. He went to draw up the imperial decree with the second assistant and the third assistant, and discussed the rewards with the Ministry of War, and selected Yao Sheng, the doctor of the examination department, to go to the border to announce the decree.The issue of the internal attachment of the Weilu Department involves how to plan grasslands outside the border to settle the thousands of herdsmen, and the emperor needs to be consulted again.

Facing the papers on the desk, Zhang Ci suddenly sighed: "If I used to hear the attachment of thousands of herdsmen, my heart would tremble. Now I don't know why, but I feel that there are only a few thousand people, and it seems that it is not enough. There are a lot of students in the last school."

It is true that there are not as many students as there are in one school, and it is not as good as those students of Hanzhong College who are both male and female, who are both famous and not famous. There are not so many people in ordinary government schools!

Lu Shoufu and Li Sanfu had an instant sympathy, and Qi Qi glanced at a certain student who had taken in a good student, and thousands of students regarded it as an ordinary elder.

Zhang Cifu didn't have any sympathy with them, and An Ran accepted their envious eyes, expressed his feelings directly, and made a high-level discussion in front of the two of them.

At the beginning, Ziqi took in refugees in Hanzhong, is it the same as taking in the internal tribes today?If people learn from him and build some economic parks outside the pass, teach the people in the attached tribes to make a living in peace and security like the people in the pass, and then send scholars to teach them Chinese, poetry and books, so that they can obey the etiquette of the Celestial Dynasty. Wouldn't it be better to draw a large pasture with them?
