Chapter 1975 Kuang Sheji, Beili Min; Created a masterpiece, passed down to later generations... The
Seeing the sudden change in his face, Hou Jian quickly asked: "Is Master being transferred to another state capital by order? Thanks to His Majesty's great kindness, Master can hold his post in front of the palace, except for the occasional decree from the Privy Council.
When I went to war under the military orders, I used to stay in Daming Mansion, so I could see each other often. Master was originally His Majesty's long-standing personal companion, so why is he being transferred to another place now?"
Xue Yong smiled calmly and signaled to Hou Jian to calm down for a moment. After the two of them took their seats, he sighed and said: "The brothers who gathered together for great righteousness have now created a great cause together and are assigned to various departments in various prefectures.
How can it be that our brethren who are serving in the capital are as good as you and I, and we can get together all the time? What's more... His Majesty didn't want to transfer me to other places, but I took the initiative to report to His Majesty to send me a transfer.
Only then can my wish come true. After all, my grandfather was a former military officer in the government, but because he hated his colleagues, he was never promoted. My father-in-law and I made a living by selling guns, sticks, and medicine.
But it was a blessing in disguise. I was able to be accepted by His Majesty when I was wandering in the world. After many years of ups and downs, I have now become the founding hero of the country... But my grandfather died with regrets. His last wish was
I can teach my children and grandchildren how to revitalize our family business, even if it only depends on my ability..."
Just as he was speaking, Xue Yonglue lifted up his arms, which had been hanging and were a little numb, stretched them a few times, and said with a wry smile: "I also know that when it comes to fighting bravely, commanding troops and generals, the fierce generals who are serving me now are like
Yun, there are too many brothers who are brave enough to conquer the armed forces and are extravagantly equipped with troops. They are beyond my reach. They only serve in the front office of the palace. Although they are occasionally ordered to go out on expeditions, there are too many who are better than me in leading armies, so most of them still accept it.
Just a casual job.
Daming Prefecture, various military departments, each one more of me is not more, and one less of me is not less. Instead of wasting away for a long time, it would be better to petition Your Majesty to transfer me to the Kansai area where my grandfather was stationed as a military guard. Although it may not be possible
I can achieve great achievements, but I am of more use, and I still support the country and protect the people. Only in this way can I live up to the legacy of my ancestors of the Xue family."
Hearing Xue Yongqian's sincere words, although Hou Jian felt very sad, he also knew that this gun and stick master was an honest man, and he would not hesitate in everything once he had made up his mind.
They will be parting soon, and it is not easy to meet again. The two of them had a heart-to-heart talk. After a lot of emotion, Hou Jian also sighed: "Brother Shi Yong was originally from Daming Mansion. When Master treated me
Many of his widows and daughters were taken care of. His Majesty was sympathetic to the families of the brothers who had sacrificed their lives in the war over the years to achieve the great cause, and granted him a house, generous rewards and pensions. However, all matters at home, big and small, were also handled by the Chung Martyrs' Institute's official office in accordance with regulations.
.. Even if this is the case, I will work with other brothers in Daming Mansion to take more care of Brother Shi Yong and his family, so Master no longer has to worry."
Xue Yongjian nodded and smiled, and then said: "I am indeed at ease now, and as my brother said, I am more than confident. And in the past few days, His Majesty has hosted a farewell banquet, so I must come. And now you are in Guangzhou
It’s quite satisfying to serve in the Imperial Guard and focus on the things you love and focus on. As long as you take good care of yourself, you will have the opportunity to meet again in the future..."
After hearing Xue Yong's heartfelt words, Hou Jian seemed a little sad, and after hanging his head for a moment, he raised his head again, revealing a sly smile: "Master, these are my farewell words.
There’s no need to say it too early. In my opinion, it will take a lot of time to start the journey..."
Indeed, as Hou Jian said, Xue Yong, as one of the first senior brothers to defect to Xiao Tang, not only had many close friends in Daming Prefecture, but also lived in the hometown of the Xiao family in Zongcheng County, Daming Prefecture for a long time.
There are also many acquaintances from my hometown who have moved back. Since they have to be transferred to other places, they are far away from friends, and they have to wait for free opportunities to get together again. Now, naturally, they can't neglect to hold a banquet to say goodbye.
What's more, after drinking in Daming Mansion for days and sighing with Xiao Tang, Xue Yong went to Shuibo Liangshan to look at Chao Gai and Bai Sheng, then crossed Shuibo to Bian Xiang, Zheng Tianshou and others in Wanzi City.
They burned incense and worshiped in front of the statues of the brothers who had been close to each other during the Xiao family gathering, sighed and poured out their hearts, and then changed their route and set off to Yuanzhou on the border of Kansai to take up their posts.
Compared with Han Shizhong, Yang Zaixing, Lin Chong, Lu Junyi and many other heroes and generals who bravely championed the three armies, Xue Yong had limited abilities, but he had followed Xiao Tang through life and death in his early days. It can be said that he had little merit but hard work.
That's a lot. Now, Xiao and Tang were transferred and granted the title of Defense Envoy of Yuanzhou, and were controlled by the Shaanxi Economic Strategy Office under the control of Han Shizhong.
In the Kansai region, there are also famous generals such as Yang Zhi, Yao Pingzhong, Zhai Xing, and Qu Duan who are more capable. Compared with Xue Yong, who is located in the rear of Junzhou, he does not have to take on the main offensive task. However, compared with Damingfu,
During his tenure, Xue Yong worked diligently and was responsible for local security, teaching and training, garrison patrols and other duties. He was indeed more useful. Although in the following years, in the border area of the Western Frontier, Han Shizhong and Song Ting were the border generals.
When Wu Jie started the war again, Xue Yong also served as a general in support of the military brigade. However, he was self-aware and obeyed military orders. As a commander of partial divisions, although he would hardly take the initiative to attack, he followed the steps and marched smoothly.
To be more specific, he also accumulated some military exploits during several battles by maintaining a stable logistics supply for the Qi army and being able to firmly guard the strategic pass military stronghold according to the orders of Commander Han Shizhong.
As the war situation between the Qi Dynasty and the Song Dynasty became increasingly clear, Xue Yong was finally able to buy a house in his hometown of Luoyang, Henan Province. Later, due to his accumulation of meritorious service and promotion, Xue Yong was promoted to the capital of several military states.
Even if he did not rely on his blessing to become a defense envoy, many of his descendants would serve as generals in the Kansai Army and contribute to the country. In doing so, Xue Yong could be regarded as fulfilling his grandfather's last wish...
When he was old, Xue Yong retired from officialdom, or taught his descendants who were already serving in the army with the Guanxi border, or could enjoy the happiness of the beautiful houses in Luoyang, Henan, and rushed to the Qi Dynasty to do the work.
After moving the capital to Yanjing, Xiao Tang reunited with his former young master, his brother Juyi, and the monarch he had always been loyal to, Xiao Tang, until he died at the age of sixty-nine...
Hou Jian, a monkey named Hou Jian, repeatedly insisted when he was serving as the Governor of the Imperial City House of Internal Affairs, asking Xiao Tang not to promote him to take charge of other errands involving the imperial court. After all, he could be engaged in the job he loved most throughout his life.
Only in this way can Hou Jian feel happy and content all day long.
It was not until his second son grew up that he inherited the skill of flying needles and threading from the trampoline, and took over the duties of his father, Guang Chujian of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in charge of the palace's inner leather, satin, clothes and cloth, and embroidered court uniforms and crowns for the royal clan.
After the incident, Hou Jian had to be transferred to the Shaofu Supervisor in charge of all the national craftsmanship and technical affairs. He was in charge of the Ling Jin Academy, the Nei Dye Academy, the Wen Embroidery Academy... and other related government offices and was the consultant and professor of the corresponding handicraft skills.
The ministry has also trained many world-famous tailors, tailors, seamstresses, and seamstresses.
As the business of the Qi Dynasty became more and more prosperous, Hou Jian expanded the scale of the Jinyuan, an official embroidery bureau of the Qi Dynasty, and sourced silk, satin, silk, brocade, qi, damask, gauze, Luo, crepe and other silk products from all over the world.
After researching and processing, and then supplying them to the market, Hou Jian often did it himself, using his fine embroidery techniques and skillful needlework to create many famous gold brocade paintings of landscapes, pavilions, figures, flowers and birds.
Therefore, not only since the beginning of Hou Jian, the seven generations of the Hou family have been the royal tailors of the Qi Dynasty. The deeds are also recorded in historical classics such as "Qi Huiyao" and "Zhi Dian". Many exquisite tailors made by him
The embroidery products of the Qi Dynasty have gone through vicissitudes of time, and most of them were unearthed in later generations. As cultural relics of great artistic value, they can be viewed and studied, and can teach future generations to have a glimpse of the style...
In this way, even if time has passed, in later generations, even people who have paid a little attention to one of China's ancient handicrafts and the development and evolution of textile needle show skills in various dynasties will still remember the prosperous period of the Qi Dynasty.
There was a famous embroidery master and a master tailor, and his nickname and name was precisely Hou Jian.
