Chapter 4 Dont drink unless you have good wine

PreviousBack to directoryNext
On the 28th of January this year, Jiang Wangcai turned 21 years old.

That is to say, at today's grand ceremony, a military lord who was less than 21 years old and had a household of 3,000 households was born. His name was Jiang Wang!

The record for the youngest person to be granted a title based on merit in the Da Qi Empire has been advanced by several years!

And what is the concept of a city of three thousand households?

Three thousand households of the people of Qi State were killed and robbed, and all were paid to Jiang Wang.

People like Jiang Wang, who had contributed to the battle to defeat Yang, attacked Yang and made Qingyang Town their fiefdom. On the one hand, they relied on Jiang Wang's local banner-like influence to help Qi Ting consolidate its rule in Yang.

On the other hand, in this kind of fiefdom, Jiang Wang, as the feudal lord, only enjoys the right to tax. And on the basis of the full tax, taxes can only be reduced, not increased.

The governance of the people in the fiefdom still continues the power of Qi Ting. Although he can influence the appointment and dismissal of town hall officials, the position of the pavilion chief also needs to be reported to the county government. If the remnants of the people go too far, they will be pursued by Qi Ting.

responsibility.

Just like this time in the war against Xia, after the Xia Kingdom Sheji was conquered, Qi Ting also designated some fiefs on the spot and distributed them to meritorious generals. For example, Jiang Wang was granted the title of Chitan, and Chongxuan Sheng was granted the title of Mingkong Hanshan in essence.

With the help of the prestige of these heroes who conquered Xia, they stabilized their rule in Xia. At the same time, the power of these fiefdoms was far from that of the food towns.

The more important point is that no matter Chitan, Mingkong Hanshan or Qingyang Town, they were all newly conquered and sealed.

Although the land has been unified legally, it will still take time to effectively control the people. It is a special situation of war.

The food and fiefdoms granted to feudal lords are different. They are all Qi people who have been in Qi for generations. They are the common people of Qi who are truly closely related to the power of the country.

The corresponding household registration list will be handed over to Jiang Wang later.

Jiang Wang could move them all to his own fiefdom and conquer the first batch of people who had complete control over their life and death. He could also put them in their place of origin and just tax them.

The support of these three thousand households is not a great wealth for an extraordinary and powerful person. But what it represents is a kind of supreme honor.

On behalf of the prince, he will be prosperous with the country in this life, and he can enjoy the worship of all people together with the emperor.

The more food towns there are, the more use can be made of the country's power.

In the official system, it has great benefits for practice!

Marquis Dingyuan made his first contribution to the Xia Dynasty thirty-three years ago. After many years of conquest, all his efforts were in vain. With his wonderful performance in the battle to destroy Yang, he was finally granted the title of Marquis.

At that time, there were only 7,000 households in the city. However, after this expedition to Xia, he first defeated Jianfeng Mountain and forced Yu Liyang to retreat, then killed Long Jiao, the commander of the national army in Xia Town, and first ascended Tongyang City, and also had the merit of commanding the Autumn Massacre.

, only 3,000 households were added to the city, and the number of households increased to 10,000.

Generally speaking, a Marquis of Wanhu is already the ultimate noble.

In his weak years, Jiang Wang had already established a settlement of 3,000 households.

This is not only a jar of his personal honor, but is also celebrated by all the countries in the world. It is also cheered by people who can compare martial arts, celebrating the future of Da Qi.

Above the Dan level.

Jiang Wuhua put his hands on his hands and smiled, his face full of joy.

Jiang Wuxie laughed and shook his head, peeled off a white snow fruit and swallowed it in one gulp.

Jiang Wuyou was the only one who sat upright with her knees propped up, not making any unnecessary moves. She was filled with joy, and to this day, no one doubted her original vision anymore.

That sentence "The so-called hero is someone who makes the impossible possible."

It almost changed from a beautiful message to a practical description of Jiang Wang.

In order to win Jiang Wangyi's promise, she did not hesitate to invest all her overseas resources in such a gamble that was regarded as reckless at the time. Looking at it today, it is a huge investment with a profit of more than a hundred times and a thousand times?

Sow a Qingyang Man and reap a Wu'an Marquis!

Looking at the history of Qi, there are not many people like Jiang Wang who have such great achievements at his age.

Qiu Ji, the eunuch who held the pen, personally put Jiang Wang in the luxurious python robe that showed his identity as Marquis of Wu'an.

Just like the person who dressed the champion Hou Zhongxuan was the eunuch Zhong Liwen who was familiar with him. The more these details, the more we can see the emperor's favor.

The people of Qi value purple, so the royal robe is also made of purple as its base, which is indescribably expensive. In front of and behind him, nine pythons are like swallowing clouds and mist.

The mountains and rivers are thousands of miles away at the corner of the robe, and the dreamlike star shadows only appear when walking around.

After removing the cool green shirt, you can see the nobles and nobles!

As soon as he wears this robe, he is already a minister. He can look down upon the officials at court meetings, and he does not need to avoid the way when he sees the commander-in-chief of the nine soldiers. He has the qualifications to listen to the affairs of the political hall, just like the minister Yu Liyang.

Amidst the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, the two youngest military lords in Qi State each remained calm. They looked at each other and retreated to both sides for the time being.

And Cao Jie, the head coach of this expedition to Xia, who was in Xia to prove the true king, walked into the square at this time and climbed onto the high platform.

Emperor Qi sat high on the dragon chair, looked down, and said slowly: "Cao Qing has worked hard."

Cao Cao all wore armor, held his hands in front of him as a courtesy, and only said: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!"

There are only eight words in the dialogue between the king and his ministers, but the trust entrusted to each other is all in the words.

The emperor waved his sleeves, and Jiang Rumo unfolded an edict again.

This is the third and last edict that Jiang Rumo, the Prime Minister of Da Qi, personally read out today.

His face is too kind, and his voice is also extremely gentle. However, at this time, he is walking in the sky and the earth, and he is powerful in the universe.

"In the past, when Taizu founded the country, he could only start with an army of eleven armors. In the twenty-first year, when Emperor Wu restored the country, he could only have thirty thousand soldiers. In the thirty-seventh battle, when he restored the country, I became the crown prince at the beginning. I wore armor and wiped out the four kingdoms. Now that I have become the great king,

Immediately, the country was destroyed for another seven years. At that time, the Xia Emperor Si Yuan swept across the Yunei and annexed the southeast. No one in the world dared to resist.

I raised my sword to resist, and fought to the death of the country. I killed Si Yuan in formation, wiped out the six armies, swallowed up the Eastern Region, and achieved hegemony. From then on, the State of Qi was called the Eastern State!

In today's world of great strife, there are six hegemonic countries, numerous small countries, numerous ancient sects, and millions of people are killed at every turn.

How are the famous generals in the world like the sea of ​​stars? There are only a few who can lead millions of teachers!

Now there is Cao Jun who can do whatever he wants.

Leading millions of troops, destroying Xia in one battle. The whole country regrets the past and penetrates the southeast.

Just like Taizu had ten ministers who served heaven, just like Emperor Wu had seven generals who controlled the country, I have Cao Jun!

Confer the title of Duhou to 30,000 households and inherit them from generation to generation!"

Cao Jiu was granted the title of 30,000 hereditary marquises, and became the top lord in the Qi Empire. With this title, name, and power,

From now on, he will be on an equal footing with the Grand Marshal of the country.

For example, if Chongxuanzun was granted the title by Jiang Wang, he would be a lifelong marquis and could not be passed down to future generations.

The "Duhou" of Cao Jie is a hereditary marquis.

Of course, compared to the hereditary and unreplaceable Bowang Hou and Jiuhui Hou, they are still slightly inferior.

Because this is a hereditary succession, each generation will be demoted by one rank.

The son of Cao Du would be an earl, and if his son passed on to his grandson, he would be a viscount.

But this single-character marquis is more noble than the double-character marquis. Even the Li family of Shimen does not have a settlement of 30,000 households.

Especially in this edict, Emperor Qi directly compared Cao Jie to the Ten Ministers of Fengtian of Qi Taizu and the Seven Generals of Emperor Wu of Qi. Those figures are all the ones who received incense in the Ancestral Temple after their death. Fengtian and Zhenguo II

The palace was built for these honorable ministers.

Emperor Qi has already made it clear that in the future the Imperial Ancestral Temple will definitely open another hall, or it will be parallel to the two halls of Fengtian and Zhenguo.

Or even above it, and Cao Jiu will definitely be listed among them!

This is not only a supreme honor, but also has extraordinary significance in this vast world.

The so-called ten ministers of Fengtian and the seven generals of the country have all died due to various reasons.

Just like the stronger a monk is, once he is injured, it will be more difficult to recover. The stronger the monk, the more complete his body will be when his body dies and his Tao disappears.

Jiang Mengxiong was able to suppress the passage between the two realms with a flip of his hand and revive Shi Shi on the spot with the elixir. Under the same conditions, it was ten times more difficult to save a monk in the inner realm. It was almost impossible to resurrect a monk in the divine presence.

The difficulty of rescuing a person who has just died is completely different from that of rescuing a person who has been dead for a long time. The longer the time passes, the more difficult it becomes.

These honorable ministers who were listed in the second hall of Fengtian and Zhenguo were all the cultivation bases of real people in this world. When they died, the sky rained blood.

Heaven and earth share the same sorrow. After death, the underworld disappears, and even the true spirit cannot be found.

But entering the temple to receive sacrifices is different.

Their spiritual tablets were brought to the Ancestral Temple and enshrined by the State of Qi from generation to generation.

Their spirit, will, and reputation will last forever if they are nourished by the power of the country and worshiped with incense. Even if they die for many years and disappear, there is still hope of resurrection!

That's why the princes of the past dynasties paid so much attention to incense, and why the thousand-year-old family is so prominent. The powerful ancestors who have the possibility of resurrection are also the heritage of the family!

This is one of the places where the national system is stronger than the sects. It receives the incense of all people and brings vitality to the world. Of course, those ancient sects also have similar methods to survive, but they are not as popular as the Ancestral Temple of the Zongguo.

Cao Du defeated Xia in one battle, and not only did he become the top nobleman of Da Qi today, he was also promised a future by the emperor. There was no family with the surname Cao before, and since then, the Donglai Cao family has become a first-class family in Da Qi.

Donglai County has also become the only county in Qi State with two top famous families.

However, the original Qi family, the most famous sect in Donglai, declined greatly after Qi Xiao split up the family and took away the military power of Xia Shi. It is difficult to compare with today's upstart Cao family.

The whole ceremony reached its climax step by step as Chongxuan Zun, Jiang Wang and Cao Ji were granted the title of marquis one after another.

The sound of the ritual officer striking the chimes is still floating high in the sky.

A vigorous battle to defeat Xia has officially come to an end.

Spring of the fifty-seventh year of Yuanfeng.

The people of Qi won everything they wanted to win.

There are too many people who sleep in the summer soil.

Like Bob Zhao, like Ouyang Yong.

Such as the vanguard camp of Zhongxuanzun, such as Zhongxin who has followed Zhongxuanzun for many years,

For example, Tian Anping has 90,000 soldiers in the county...

For example, the victorious camp led by Jiang Wangzhongxuansheng also killed more than 2,000 people.

But there are also some people who have stepped onto a higher stage,

As the saying goes, don't talk about the matter of ennobling a marquis according to the king, one general will make thousands of bones wither!"

Don't talk about the matter of making a marquis, because one general will make thousands of bones wither."

This line of poetry was written on the paper and then erased.

Yuanfeng fifty-seventh year, January 24th.

Jiang Wang was sitting at the desk by the window, writing a letter.

A very long letter.

He wanted to tell Jiang An'an about the spring in Linzi. He wanted to describe the prosperity here, exaggerate the glory he had received, and share all his success and joy without mentioning the pain and danger he had experienced.

During the entire war against Xia, he didn't write any letters. He had many compliments and wanted to talk to Ye Qingyu about Xiao An'an's education and plan An An's practice route. He also wanted to help with the vision after God's arrival.

Deducing the various applications of Yunzhuan's magical powers.

His mood is peaceful and his writing is gentle and leisurely.

Outside the window, you can see Xiashan Mountain where the maple leaves are not yet red, and you can see the lush greenery when you look up.

After the ceremony for the Imperial Ancestral Temple, he was tired of the constant stream of people from all walks of life visiting him, and was unwilling to waste his precious time on the banquets, so he hid in Xiashan Villa in Chongxuansheng.

Compared with Yaoguangfang, which is in the bustling city, and the Wu'an Hou Mansion, which is under construction and is in a more prosperous place, it is much quieter here. Of course, it is also to avoid some meaningless entanglements. What is the police officer like?

The niece, the daughter of the Commander-in-Chief of the Nine Soldiers, the daughter of a servant, or a lady from a famous family. Even Wen Tinglan of the Yan Fu family organized several poetry gatherings out of kindness, and there were many close friends of hers.

It was a pity that I was there for a day. What does Jiang Wang know about composing poetry?

Sitting among a group of orioles and swallows, listening to them write lyrics and sing songs, I feel more tired than when I was chasing Shang Yanhu...

There is a wonderful sound of silk and bamboo coming from the background.

Jiang Wang shook his head and moved his pen briskly. Needless to say, it was the new neighbor who woke up from a hangover and started the happy time of the day.

Probably to take care of the feelings of Shangqing Yu Liyang, although the Qi army captured Si Cheng, the future Emperor of Xia, the prisoner presentation ceremony that was supposed to be the focus was ended hastily and did not humiliate the Great Qi An Lebo.

Even his former Daxia harem, his queen and several concubines were sent to him safely. The rest were dismissed.

Looking at the history of the kings who lost their country, Sicheng can be regarded as having a good ending.

Of course, a hero like the current Emperor Qi does not need to find any sense of accomplishment in An Lebo. Emperor Xia Xiang, who has been dead for many years, is almost the same.

Should I say it or not, after all, he was once the emperor of a country and was wealthy. His taste in enjoying music was indeed high.

Although Jiang Wang couldn't hear anything special, his ears felt very comfortable.

With the help of the neighbor's music, I finished writing the letter slowly. I let go of my hand, and the cloud crane flew out of the window, straight into the sky. The light heart also flew up to the top of the clouds.

It's a nice time when the weather is nice and it's a good time to have a peaceful stay.

"No, no, no, I don't see anyone!"

The ear consciousness captured such a sound.

An indulgent, impatient, middle-aged man's voice was somewhat noble: "Come on, let's play music and dance!"

With a thought in his mind, Jiang Wang stood up and left the study, walked through the door and opened the door.

Sure enough, I saw a peach-blossom-like man in luxurious clothes standing in front of the courtyard not far away.

The former King of Daxia, now the Shangqing of Qi.

He once took the title of Peach Blossom Fairy and was the most popular person in Great Xia. After drinking, he composed a poem casually, and ranked the thirteen famous mountains in Xia, making him "not as good as other mountains".

How many songs have been composed for people to sing.

After the first Qi-Xia war, I left behind many feelings and resentments. I swept away the old dissipation and worked hard to become stronger. As the true king who achieved greatness in the age of divine martial arts of the Xia Kingdom, he was once the hope of the entire Xia Kingdom.

Such a handsome man with red lips and white teeth is almost a reflection of the Xia Kingdom in its heyday.

Such a person, here in Anlebo, had a closed-door libation.

Jiang Wang's movement of pushing the door was naturally noticed by him.

He turned around and seemed to be walking in the wind, making the sky light sway.

It's really as beautiful as a blooming flower.

"Yu Shangqing!" Jiang Wang shouted directly: "Can I have a drink?"

The state of Qi originally held the position of supreme minister, and this position was specially created for Yu Liyang.

The position is extremely honorable and the real power is better than nothing.

A faint smile appeared on Yu Liyang's face: "Yu is extravagant by nature. He never drinks good wine unless he has good friends, and he never gathers unless he is a good friend. I wonder what kind of wine Wu'an Marquis has?"

Jiang Wang turned his body sideways and made a gesture of invitation: "Look for the ‘Deer Ming’ in the forest!"

"The sound of deer in wine is definitely the best. Among people in Wu'an, you are a good friend!" Yu Liyang laughed loudly, with his big sleeves fluttering: "This wine is worth it!"

There are so many things in life that you have to start from the beginning.

For example, yesterday, life and death were intertwined.

For example, today in the morning, wine is cooked in spring.

Good times.
