[Red Mansion] Let's listen to a general's order

"...I have heard that meritorious deeds must be rewarded and misdeeds must be punished. Only then can one be a sage king. In ancient times, there was Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty, who was eighteen years old. , outstanding meritorious service, both prestige and virtue, achievements declared internally and externally, justice crowned from beginning to end, Zhijian Jinshi, vowed to the mountains and rivers, hereby canonized as the champion Marquis... split Rang County and Wan County as the champion Marquis Yi, food is sealed... hereditary The Yongye field is 24 mu...announced to the world, and the salty envoys heard about it, and hereby applaud it. It was December [-]th in the first year of Jinghe."

Even someone as calm as Feng Zizhi couldn't help beaming with joy.

It's a marquis.

Li Lian became a marquis.

This was simply the pinnacle of being a courtier, and all the civil servants looked at Li Lian with envious eyes.Without him, it is easy for military generals to be conferred titles, but there are not many civil servants who were able to confer titles in ancient times, except for those who contributed to the founding of the country.

Not to mention, Li Lian was named the champion.

The champion is the Marquis of Lie, which appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, which means "the champion of the whole army".

From ancient times to the present, there are only three people who have been crowned champions——Huo Qubing, who was granted the title of wolf living in Xuxu, Jia Fu, the hero who founded the country, and Dou Xian, who made Bei Shanyu flee.

Moreover, there are [-] acres of hereditary Yongye farmland!According to the Dazhou rule, all the courtiers who are knighted have the opportunity to get Yongyetian which is exempt from taxation. No matter what time it is, the court will never collect taxes from Yongyetian.And a full [-] acres of Yongye farmland!You must know that the number of hereditary Yongye fields is only this when you first became the Duke of the state!

Furthermore, can you hear the content of the imperial decree?On December 24, the first year of Jinghe, Li Liancai was that year!This is enough to prove that in Zhou Hedi's heart, even Li Lian, who was still young, had already won the whole army and was his most valued general.

To everyone's surprise, "My minister Li Lian is still young. Although he has little achievements, it all depends on the emperor's prestige and the spirit of the country. I dare not be a champion. I ask the emperor to take it back." Li Lian fell to his knees on the ground. , Turned down the knighthood.

Indeed, even at the age of 27, it is too early to be a marquis. Many veterans who have served the country for most of their lives have never worshiped generals and marquises in their entire lives.If this holy decree was read out at the time of Li Lian, there would definitely be an uproar in the world, but who would dare to disobey Li Lian's achievements now that the Zhou Dynasty is full?Just from the matter of subduing hundreds of thousands of barbarians, it is enough to be a marquis, let alone others.

"Aiqing, don't slander yourself. Based on Aiqing's merits, the title of champion should have been awarded to you long ago." Zhou Hedi smiled more leniently.

Seeing that Li Lian still wanted to decline again, the Supreme Emperor said, "Okay! If I hadn't suppressed you, this imperial decree would have been proclaimed ten years ago! Just accept the decree!"

"Thank you, minister!"

Although this imperial decree was delayed for ten years before it was officially promulgated, it was already archived in the palace ten years ago, so all the salaries and rewards that the champion marquis deserved in the past ten years were all sent to the champion general...champion It's in Houfu.

"Wow! The third child! You are a Marquis!! You are a Marquis!!!"

Before dawn, Jia She felt as if he had taken aphrodisiacs. He was so energetic that he smashed the gate of Champion Hou's mansion, and kept yelling to open the door. It disturbed people's dreams. He was severely beaten by the guards at the gate.

Seeing Jia Amnesty's eyes glowing red, like a pervert carefully rubbing the imperial decree back and forth, almost drooling, Li Lian couldn't help but black face.

"You've been talking for more than an hour! If you wake me up early in the morning just to be crazy, don't blame my brother for turning my face and being heartless!" Li Lian and Feng Zizhi were enjoying the warmth of the hibiscus tent during the spring night. It is expected that the guards knocked on the door suddenly and reported that Rong Enbo had come, so he had to come out to "entertainment".

"Third brother! You are amazing! You have surpassed my brother and me!" This sentence is okay, but the next sentence: "Although our family has one lord and one uncle, the third child has the most power in your hands. Now you are completely on the side of Shi Ding." The heads of the two brothers are on!"

Shi Ding?Li Lian frowned lightly, "What do you care about with those two Shi family brothers?"

"Hmph! That guy Shi Ding is really dissatisfied with our family! Two years ago, with the help of Nan'an County King and Xining County King, he was granted the title of Marquis of Zhongjing by relying on the little merits that you despise the third child. Although I didn’t say anything, when I looked at my elder brother, my eyes were not eyes, and my nose was not a nose! Just looking at it made me angry! It’s the emperor’s disdain for him, his family has been poor for two lifetimes!” From Shi's side, Shi Ding is their cousin.

To be honest, the situation of historians is very complicated.

As far as Li Lian knew, the former Marquis Baoling had three sons: the eldest son Shi Nai, the second son Shi Nai, and the third son Shi Ding.

The eldest son, Shi Nai, was in poor health and died young.Shortly after his death, his wife became ill with longing and passed away, leaving only one daughter.As a result, the title of Hou Baoling was inherited by his second son, Shi Nai.

The eldest son, Shi Nai, and the second son, Shi Nai, were the legitimate sons of the former Baolinghou's wife. His mother died of dystocia when giving birth to the second son, Shi Nai.Therefore, the previous Marquis Baoling married another second wife and soon gave birth to his third son, Shi Ding.

The third son, Shi Ding, is the grandson of the kings of Nan'an and Xining.That's right!He is the grandson of both of them.In terms of specific aspects, Li Lian didn't know much about the seniority and relationship in the calculation, so he just called his grandson together.To put it simply, the concubine sister of the king of Xining married the king of Nan'an as a side concubine, and the king of Nan'an and the side concubine gave birth to a daughter, and the daughter married the previous Marquis Baoling as a successor.

The king of Xining has only one younger sister, and this side concubine is also very much loved by the king of Nan'an, so Shi Ding is also very popular with the two kings.No!After putting Shi Ding into the army for several years, he happened to follow Li Lian to pacify the Yi people in the west, and under the operation of the two county kings, he was actually named Zhongjinghou.Of course, the title of the Marquis is a bit false, no, it should be said to be false.

Not only did he not have a real seal of food, he could not get the rent adjustment tax of the corresponding closed household, and he did not even have a food city. Shi Ding could only get the false title of Lord Marquis and an annual salary of several hundred taels. Said that it might not even be enough for a meal.Moreover, if others don't know how he got here as a marquis, wouldn't the civil and military officials in court not know?The civil servants disliked this honorable person who came up through connections, the generals disdain this second ancestor who was named a marquis by Li Lian's merits, and the royal relatives were jealous of Li Lian and disliked the two county kings with different surnames, and they all expressed their unwillingness to associate with him mean.Therefore, Shi Ding, who was isolated in the court, could only show off his power in front of officials and ordinary people who came to Beijing from other places.

but……

These things have nothing to do with him! ! ? ? ?

Li Lian clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and decided to give Jia Amnesty another chance to speak.

"Ahem!" Seeing that his younger brother was really angry, Jia She couldn't help feeling a little bit guilty when he thought of the current weather, but when he thought of the big thing he was going to say next, he immediately held his head high.

Reluctantly putting down the smooth and tender imperial decree in his hand, Jia She said earnestly: "Old man! Although the imperial decree was only obtained last night, it is for you to be named a marquis. You will be named a marquis by the emperor. Champion! This is something I have never done since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In a few years, you will make more contributions to the emperor, and by then, the Marquis will become the Duke of the country!"

After saying a few serious words, Jia Amnesty began to lose his tune again: "Oh! Third child, does this count as going down in history? When the time comes, my brother and I will be able to leave a name in history together, and it will also honor the lintel of our Jia family... ..." When the history books record the third child, there will always be one or two records of his origin.When the time comes, won't his elder brother of the champion, Rong Enbo, appear in the history books?whee!Unexpectedly, he, Jia Amnesty, would be famous in history for a day! ! !

The more Jia Amnesty spoke, the happier he became, but seeing the murderous look on Li Lian's face became more and more serious, he quickly shrank his neck and said, "Actually, I came to ask if you will go to the ancestral hall to worship your ancestors? After all, your name has gone down in history!"

Thinking of such a big event as being famous in history, Jia She became even more excited, and said with a smile, "I'll go to Zhen's nephew and ask him to inform the clan elders to prepare incense candles and offerings..."

Li Lian shook his head without thinking, and refused, "No."

Jia Amnesty was in a hurry: "Go! It is a good thing and a joyous event to pay homage to this. The ancestors must know about it! The ancestors will be happy when they know about it!" He wished the whole world knew about such a face-saving matter.If it wasn't for Li Lian's many years of "teaching" and lack of time, he would have knocked on the door of the first-class Zhen Guo general's mansion next door, set off his eldest nephew Jia Zhen, and told him to immediately choose a good day and prepare to leave. The ancestral hall!

For Li Lian's sake, the title of the hereditary first-class general of the town that originally fell on Jia She's head was changed to Rong Enbo, while Jia Zhen's hereditary third-class general Wei Lie became the hereditary first-class general of the town. Lord.

However, Li Lian stopped his excitement with just one sentence, "My surname is Li, not Jia."

Jia Amnesty blinked and opened his mouth wide.

yes!The third child was given the surname Li by the emperor!

Jia She suddenly collapsed on the chair in frustration.

After thinking for a while, "But...but...your brother's surname is Jia!!!" Jia She suddenly said this sentence.

Li Lian rolled his eyes, his father's surname is Jia!

"And...you know, except for your house, I haven't met Jia in other houses for a long time." In fact, Li Lian felt that his performance was very obvious.

Jia She raised his fingers and counted, and said in approval: "That's right! During the holidays, you either attend the banquet in the palace, or you are ordered by the Supreme Emperor to accompany you in the palace. On weekdays, you are busy, Lian Hu'er He and I only meet three or four times a month, and there is no extra time to contact other clansmen.”

"It's not because I'm busy, but because my surname is not Jia, I have to avoid suspicion." Li Lian carefully explained to Jia She, "If it weren't for you being my real brother since I was a child, and Hu'er and Lian'er being brothers. , I can’t even have anything to do with you.”

After Li Lian clarified, Jia She had an epiphany.

"Yes...is... which one???" He shrugged and pointed at it lightly, asking hesitantly.

Li Lian nodded.

"My sister-in-law has already understood. If it weren't for her, why would she only ask Hu'er and Lian'er to give me things, and never ask me to go to the house for dinner or to stay overnight." He couldn't help admiring the most wise move of the old Mrs. Zhang who died young. , that is, to hire her, the grandniece of her natal family, to Jia Amnesty.

"No!" Jia Amnesty suddenly slapped the table with his palm and stood up.

"Perhaps nephew Zhen has received the news, I have to stop him quickly! Don't let him bring trouble to our family!!" After finishing speaking, Jia She left the Champion's Mansion in a hurry.

After Jia Amnesty passed through her previous life, she was extremely in awe of imperial power.No matter what the reason is, since the royal family doesn't like it, he is determined not to do it, so as not to be remembered by those two on the dragon chair, and he will be distributed to the frontier again.

Li Lian had no choice but to shake his head and walk to the training ground for his own brother who listened to the wind and rain.

Before arriving at the training ground, Li Lian heard a conversation.

"Your posture is wrong, you should raise your hands higher."

"it is good."

"Yes, keep it like this."

"Master, master, I want to learn light and heavy swords."

"What are the light and heavy swords?"

"The heavy sword has no edge, and it is ingenious; the light sword swims a dragon, flying thousands of miles. Master, master, I heard that in the Tang Dynasty, there was a very powerful sect called Cangjian Villa, and the disciples in the village were all with weight Two swords, with good luck, cross the rivers and lakes!" The girl's voice was full of admiration, with infinite yearning.

"Nonsense, a sword is a sword, where is the light and heavy sword!?" The man's tone was light, and he couldn't hear the slightest reprimand.

"That's not true! What I said is true! Alas! It hurts!" The slender fingers flicked on the girl's forehead with moderate force, but the girl cried out aggrieved.

Li Lian stood still and looked from a distance, and found that it was Lin Han and his niece Qiyu.

"Hands down, raise them up." Lin Han urged.

Tooting for a while, Qiyu couldn't help continuing: "I heard that there are two mental techniques in Hidden Sword Villa. , can also accumulate sword energy, can attack or defend, can advance or retreat, ready to go."

"The other one is called Shanju Sword Intent. Combined with the epee, the attack power is greatly increased, and it can consume the sword energy to attack the enemy."

I don't know where Lin Qiyu heard it, but she actually said it clearly and logically.

"That's all to lie to the little girl." Lin Han had never heard of such a mentality.

Qiyu argues: "That's not true!" Even with Tiance, there must be a hidden sword villa and Zhuanghua!

At this time, Lin Han noticed the sight from the entrance of the training ground, and when he looked up, he saw Li Lian's figure.

After whispering some instructions to Lin Qiyu, he walked to Li Lian's side.

"Commander."

Li Lian raised the corners of his lips, crossed his arms and joked, "It's really rare! Brother Jizong and Lao Ran should all come and see how the iceberg melts!"

Lin Han didn't respond, but just glanced at him lightly.

"You are already a lot older! When do you plan to marry a wife? If you marry a wife, you will have someone who knows what's cold and what's hot when you get married. When you have a child in the future, you can teach him martial arts yourself!" Li Lian thought He likes children, said earnestly.

Ten years have passed, Niu Jizong, Ran Feng and other old brothers have all married one after another.

For those who have no money and no house, Li Lian pays the bride price and prepares the house for them.

For those who didn't have a match, Li Lian worked so hard to match them up, and the matchmaker didn't know how many red envelopes he received.

Among the old brothers now, only Lin Han is left alone, it's so pitiful.

"Don't gossip! What are you going to do about Mingwei (Li Mingzhu's military position)?" Lin Han asked calmly.

Li Lian also knew that he was shy, remembering what happened to Niu Jizong wantonly teasing him in the past, he dared not say any more.only……

"Hu Hanxie's thinking, I really don't understand." If you intend to marry, there are several young princesses under the emperor's knees. If you don't want to be inferior to the emperor, the emperor should be strong and strong, and there are two princesses who are about to reach their age. .

"You are in the game and can't see through." A clear voice sounded from behind.

Li Lian turned around and smiled, "Yannian."

"Extend the year." Lin Han nodded slightly.

Feng Zizhi's identity is Li Lian's wife, but it's not easy for everyone in Tiance Mansion to call her sister-in-law or Mrs. Commander.Calling eunuchs or factory officials seems to be separated by another layer, and in the end they just call each other Biaozi.

Feng Zizhi nodded, and continued: "Don't forget that the princess is not only the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also the only female general in Tiance Mansion."

"If the marriage is really successful, the emperor will definitely make the princess a princess. As usual, when a princess marries another country, in addition to gold and silver jewellery, clothing and cloth, furnishings, antique calligraphy and paintings, daily necessities and medicinal materials, there will be countless People from the Ten Palaces, hundreds of guards, hundreds of craftsmen from various industries and their families are used as dowry.” Feng Zizhi ignored other dowry items, and only talked about the dowry personnel.

He analyzed: "The princess is the general of the Tiance Mansion, so he will naturally choose soldiers from the Tiance Mansion to marry as a dowry. At that time, the Huns will be able to understand the military formation of the Tiance Mansion through confrontation with them, and break it down." To put it bluntly, it is to let the Tiance officers and soldiers who were married in the past be the sparring partner, and fight in advance, so as to get familiar with the formation of the Tiance officers and soldiers, without harming lives.how?Wouldn't it be fine as long as those strategists don't serve as sparring partners?hehe!How can a person not bow his head under the eaves.Even if you don't want it in every way, when the time comes, the Huns will provoke you or pretend to be a horse thief, and you will fight if you don't want to!

"Furthermore, Mingwei is a female general, so some of the soldiers she chooses will naturally be female soldiers. Women tend to be soft-hearted. On the sparsely populated grasslands, at that time, it was only necessary to send a few handsome Hun men or poor Hun children, After getting along with each other day and night, you can draw out the internal strength and spear skills of the Tiance Mansion from them. Even male soldiers can use beauty tricks, and it may be easier to succeed!" Li Lian touched his chin and said by analogy.

The core reason why Tiance Mansion has been able to overwhelm the Lantian camp in the past ten years and has never failed in its conquests is that it has benefited from Tiance's two minds, three spears and three formations.This inner strength method is extremely rare, and it can only be found in big families or Jianghu sects that have been passed down for a long time.It is generally regarded as a family heirloom, not seen by outsiders, passed on from male to female, from son to grandson.Even if it is taught to "outsiders", the "outsiders" are either their own disciples or their own dead soldiers.How could he choose to contribute to the country like Li Lian did!Moreover, the mind and spear skills of Tiance Mansion are much better than those of other families.

In order to prevent someone from intentionally sneaking into the Tiance Mansion and leaving after learning the mind and spear skills, except for the first batch of 8000 recruits, whenever new recruits are recruited, Li Lian will monitor them one by one through the system's subordinate panel to see if there are any recruits. Mix in with malicious people.

"There are also those craftsmen, including farmers who specialize in planting, craftsmen who are good at construction, and blacksmiths who are good at forging iron and making weapons." Lin Han said calmly, "If Mingwei can't keep his heart, Hu Han Xie can get more information from her." Li Mingzhu is a veritable third-in-command of the strategist, and has a detailed knowledge of many affairs in the mansion, the deployment of the surrounding army, and the political situation.

Feng Zizhi added one more point: "In addition to people, the dowry items also include classics from hundreds of schools, hundreds of medical prescriptions, countless grain seeds, etc." These are all things that can strengthen the power of the Huns.

Therefore, if the Hu people of the foreign race want to be strong and prosperous, it is really a good deal to marry the princess of Dazhou.
