Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 649
A great victory in Yuzhou has had a considerable impact on the folk customs of Jiankang.

In the past, there were many victories and defeats in the battles between the North and the South, and there were many victories.But most of them were strangers and happened in strange places. Even if they heard it occasionally, most of them felt strange. They only felt that they were people and things that had nothing to do with them, and they had little resonance.

However, this time, the battle only took place in Tushui across the river, and many people even asserted that they could see the place where the battle took place from the top floor of the Shenyuan Zhaixing Building.Although the vast majority of people in the city are not honored to climb there to enjoy the scenery, it does not prevent them from divergent thinking, and I am convinced of this.

Moreover, the people who participated in the war were no strangers, and it could even be said that they were the son-in-law, Marquis Shen, who was most familiar to the people in the capital.Of course, the same majority of people are also stingy about this son-in-law, but they are not strangers, because today's Jiankang New City has traces left by this son-in-law almost everywhere. Get in touch with this prince.

Therefore, this battle has also attracted widespread attention and discussion from the public officials to the common people. In the past, the topic of Jiehu was almost a taboo topic in the capital. Although it is not completely forbidden to discuss it, every gathering Once this topic is mentioned, it will inevitably cause a cold discussion, it is beyond words.

But now, when it comes to the topic of Jiehu, the people in the capital can already laugh at all kinds of things in a teasing tone.After all, Jiehu's ferocity and tyranny are just a vague image in rumors, but the rows of heads under the big girder are a real picture.

So gradually a point of view has been formed, no matter how noble the family background is, no matter how much you praise it, but you don't even have the experience of going north to kill slaves, you are only a second-rate talent after all, not a first-class celebrity, far worse than the son-in-law Shenhou.

Faced with such a wave of public opinion, those descendants of aristocratic families with many reputations in the capital also have hardships.There are many people who want to explain to these ignorant people that civil and martial arts have special uses, whether people have talents and whether they can show them off, they are not limited to martial arts.

However, the logic of the public is so simple and pure. If others can do it, you can't. You are incompetent and mediocre!So for a while, even if there was no order from the parents at home, the competitive spirit of the children of these aristocratic families was greatly restrained.

Because when they went out for a trip, even the poor people on the side of the road pointed at them, saying that their talents were timid and lived up to their family reputation.Although most of the time, they don't pay attention to these poor people, but because of this, even these humble people like dust point and despise them, which makes people even more unbearable and simply stares at them. out of mind out of mind.

Different from the children of aristocratic families who have been criticized in the capital, the soldiers of the Yuzhou Army who entered the capital this time are very popular. Once they appear on the streets of Jiankang City, they will cause the people to stop and watch.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the people in the capital admire these Yuzhou army officers and men. In the eyes of most people, these poor people from other places are just lucky enough to follow the son-in-law, Marquis Shen.You must know that when Shen Hou Baiqi returned to the capital, he was able to break through tens of thousands of rebellious troops and save the king. Now it is no problem to go north to kill the thieves!
But having said that, people have quite different moods when they look at these Yuzhou soldiers.

Among these soldiers, those who originally belonged to the Shengwu Army were selected at various levels and were strong and powerful. impression.So all of them are majestic and full of vigor, which makes people look at each other more.

Naturally, these officers and soldiers were not qualified enough to be guests of high-ranking officials, but their frequent appearance on the streets of Jiankang City still caused great waves among the people.For a while, even the attire of these sergeants caused a trend in the capital, and many good families followed suit one after another, and the military robes that were tied around the body were the most beautiful.

These sergeants frequently appeared in the streets and markets, buying a lot, which not only made the people in the capital feel proud of the prosperity of the capital, but also envied these people for their wealth, and even thought of it as a wife.

In the past, for the people in the capital, the best way out for the girls in the family was to be sold as slaves or handmaids to the rich and powerful clan. They might not be lucky, at least they could have food and clothing.But in the early years, the capital was destroyed, and Gong Qinghan's furniture suffered, and few were spared.Having personally experienced that kind of turmoil and despair, you will feel more and more that in troubled times, no matter how high or low your family is, only bravery can be relied on.

At this time, an anecdote about soldiers in Yuzhou was also circulated in the capital and compiled into a ballad.It is about a family of a scholar in the outer county of Duwai who recruited a strong man to be his son-in-law. As a result, the son-in-law dared to fight and was pulled out of the army by the general and promoted to the commander of the army. As a result, the family was released from the army and became a wealthy man. portal.

Although this slang term "Bingwei Song" is not a magnificent poem, it is simple and easy to understand, especially in line with Xiaohu's family's imagination and hopes for a better future. Can be sung among.

Although the trend of contempt for martial arts has been around for a long time, the most fundamental reason is that the children of scholars and military households have no economic status. The family has no food and clothing, and they have to undertake heavy military service. They may die in battle at any time.

Such a person, even if he forged a Great Wall of flesh and blood to guard the territory, and was highly praised and praised, but he couldn't even take care of his family, wife and daughter, who would entrust his children to him?
The story of "Song of the Soldiers" can be called a legend, but the most important thing is to let people know that the Yuzhou soldiers are different from others. Although they often fight, once they are armored, they must have a salary.If you win a battle bravely, you can also remember the merit and reward. This point alone is worth a thousand words!

So for a while, these Yuzhou soldiers became candidates for the good son-in-law of the Han family.Especially after Mo Zhong, the protagonist of "Bing Wei Song", was identified, he became even more popular.

The original son of a poor family, but now he has become a general Wu Fen who has won meritorious service in battle. Although he is only a mere sixth rank, a child from an aristocratic family is equivalent to scolding, but for a small family from a poor family, this person has a lot of deeds Inspirational legend!
In such an atmosphere, the Yuzhou Army announced at the right time to recruit widowed and homeless women as spouses of soldiers in the town, and there was an endless stream of applicants. scholar.

Among them are the families of exiled officials and slaves, as well as orphans whose parents died in the war.Although the capital is good, it doesn't matter much to them, and the border town is bitter and cold, but if it is as beautiful as the rumors, it might not be a way of life.

So in this noisy atmosphere, the Yuzhou Army also began to prepare to embark on their way home.Of course, we can’t just walk away. The most important issues of king’s reward and Taichung’s reward have not yet been implemented.

Princess Xingnan didn't pay much attention to the hustle and bustle in the capital, she was just happily preparing to cross the Jiangbei to find her husband.She also understands that her decision is a bit hasty, and the empress dowager may not agree to it, but this lady has been with her husband since she was a child, and her personality is quite similar, not lacking in decisiveness. Once she has a decision in her heart, she will immediately put it into practice and never Consider whether it is feasible.

Thinking about it for a long time, she wished she could move everything in Du Nei's family to Jiangbei, lest her husband's diet and daily life in Jiangbei would not be as good as in Du Nei.But I also understand that the transportation capacity here is limited, and it is impossible for her to be willful.So I patiently streamlined and streamlined, thinking about what to bring and what not to bring every day.

On this day, Princess Xingnan was still picking her luggage in Dunan Bieye. Not long after, her family came to report, saying that there was news from Taichung that the princess should go home and prepare to receive the edict of reward.As for the content of the reward, it was also revealed that it was a big seal, not just a seal of food, but a direct promotion to county magistrate!
After Princess Xingnan heard the news, she was pleasantly surprised at first.The more honored her husband is, the happier she is.What's more, there are many people who confer dukes at home and abroad, even his family's Aunt is already a county duke, but these dukes are either in their prime of life or old, or they are inherited from the family's relatives.The person who really became a prince with his own merits, and he was still a weak crown, is simply unique since China and North Korea!
But after the joy, Princess Xingnan was somewhat dissatisfied.You must know that accepting a knighthood is a very serious matter. It has its own set of rigorous and meticulous regulations. I can't finish it in half a month.

Now that the husband is not at home, and the parents of the direct relatives are also in the village, once the imperial edict is received, the princess must sit in person for subsequent negotiations.In this way, her plan to follow the Yuzhou Army to the town will inevitably be delayed.

So after pondering for a while, Princess Xingnan ordered the family order to let the ball enter the stage to report carefully, and did not intend to receive the edict at the mansion, but asked the person who announced the edict to cross the river and enter the town to announce.

But soon, Ren Qiu came back to reciprocate, saying that Taichung was stubborn, and hoped that the princess would receive the edict as soon as possible, so as to stabilize the hearts of the new victorious soldiers.

When Princess Xingnan heard this return, she couldn't help frowning.She has been with her husband for many years. Although her thinking is not that careful, she is definitely not a boudoir woman who knows everything. After thinking about it for a while, she noticed that Taichung's attitude was a little strange.

In the early days, there was no resolution, and even Princess Xingnan entered the court several times and complained in front of her mother.But now the decision is made so quickly, and once a decision is made, her family must be ordered as soon as possible, as if it can't wait for a moment.Since it was so urgent, why was there no sound earlier?
There was a hint of weirdness in this. Although Princess Xingnan couldn't figure it out, she didn't want to delay the trip across the river from her heart.Now that Taichung has issued an edict, what is the difference between receiving it at home and receiving it in Taichung?
Could it be that the queen mother has already noticed that she is going to cross the river and wants to stop her?
"Closing the door of the house, just say that I am slightly ill and recuperating in Zhongshan Bieye, and I will not be able to return to the capital within ten days to receive the imperial edict!"

With this idea, Princess Xingnan suddenly felt the joy of fighting wits with others. She didn't even have anyone in her family, so how could she accept the imperial edict?If you want to declare an edict, you have to obediently cross the river!What's more, since it is necessary to stabilize the morale of the newly victorious army with a big seal, wouldn't it be more effective to declare an edict before the army?
Those people in Taiwan didn't want to take a trip across the river, so why should she be accommodated at home and miss the trip?

So after dealing with this matter, Princess Xingnan started Xi Zizi to personally instruct her family to pack their luggage.However, soon afterward, the family members came to report again that the Taichung Xuanzhao officials had gone straight to Zhongshan Biye, asking how to deal with it.

After hearing this report, Princess Xingnan was a little annoyed, these people are simply too much!Her husband went to Jiangbei to establish his career without hesitation, why are these people so precious?Unyielding, refusing to cross the river, but wanting to confer a title in the capital!
With this resentment in her heart, in Princess Xingnan's view, this is no longer a question of whether or not to accept the edict, it is simply a kind of contempt for her husband!You don't want to cross the river, but you want to be persistently entangled in the capital. Either you will not be banned, or you must cross the river to accept it!

Since you can't hide, then go up to it!
With a decision in her heart, Princess Xingnan immediately ordered her family to prepare the car and drive to Taicheng.By the way, tell the family members to tell the relatives of the Shen family in the capital that no family is allowed to receive reward officials in the stage until there is an explanation!

At this time, several Taifu in Taicheng got together, and they were in a bad mood.Especially Zhongshu Ling Chu Chong's face was even more gloomy.

The great victory in Yuzhou, there were already many people who were paying attention, and the delay in awarding rewards also made people have a lot of guesses.Although Chu Chong was in charge of Zhongshu and took care of imperial edicts, he was not a strong ruler in himself, and his discourse power was even different from that of the old Zhongshu Yu Liang.So on the issue of Shen Weizhou's specific rewards, he couldn't make a decision with one word.

With Prime Minister Wang's advice, Chu Chong came up with such a coup, but it was not easy to make it into reality.In the past two days, I met with Taichang, Guanglu and other important ministers in Taiwan respectively, and communicated repeatedly. In addition, although Prime Minister Wang did not appear in person, he also helped some in secret. consensus.

After the edict was made, it was easy to send it to the court, and it was quickly approved by the empress dowager, and even Chu Chong received a few words of praise from the empress dowager after a long absence.The love for her son-in-law in the words and demeanor made Chu Chong feel a little envious.But if this love is out of season, it is really not a blessing.

So when the majority of people in Taichung didn't know about it, this imperial edict had already been made, and then it was time to go to the Shen family to proclaim the edict.This was originally the least difficult part, but now Shen Chong and his son are not in the capital, and most of the rest are not in the same place, and the female lead is in charge of the house, how can he be able to discern the pros and cons of this?

Once the edict is announced, even if Shen Weizhou gets the letter and wants to decline in the future, the bad influence has already been caused.There is already a rift between each other, so it cannot be resolved with simple words.The reason why Chu Chong did this was not to destroy the good situation in Yuzhou, but to use this suspicion to deepen the influence and control of Fang Zhen in Taiwan.

To be honest, he cannot absolve himself of the blame for the situation caused by the situation in Yuzhou, and Prime Minister Wang cannot stay out of it.

Yu Yi and Shen Weizhou secretly conspired to take advantage of the victory to turn Yuzhou into a situation of military and political control. The Jiatian Order, which was originally used as a compromise exchange, played a great role in this.The residents of Yuzhou are in control of Ding Tianmu, self-cultivation and self-sufficiency, and the continuous support of Wuzhong's resources and goods completely put Taichung aside.

If Yuzhou cannot be opened as soon as possible, if it is allowed to develop in the future, the trend of separatism will be inevitable.Moreover, Yuzhou is close to Gyeonggi, and the damage will be much more serious than that of Jingzhou!
Chu Chong also didn't want to embarrass Shen Weizhou. Relatively speaking, he wanted to take back the Jiatian order that was confused and compromised for a while. At that time, he only thought that there was a precedent in Jingzhou, and it was okay to make a little concession to make the military dispatch more convenient.But he didn't realize at the time that when Jingzhou issued this decree, it was the most prosperous era of China and Korea, but how does the current central authority compare with that of China and Korea!
But this kind of words are even more difficult to say, after all, the order of Koda was used in exchange for the position of Prime Minister Wang Dao at that time.Now that the prime minister has also done it, the benefits should be resold?If each other is still in the stage, they can negotiate and compromise in a soft voice.But the target was Fang Zhen, and it was Fang Zhen who had just won the victory. The matter between Fang Zhen and the center, no matter how small it was, it was a big deal!
If he really dared to do this, Gu Zhongshu would be his fate, maybe even worse!When Su Jun rebelled, Fang Zhen still attacked him, but what if he angered Fang Zhen?If Jiatian in Yuzhou is abolished today, will Jingzhou be abolished tomorrow?

The national weapon cannot be used lightly, but it can only be used in jujitsu.Highlighting Shen Weizhou made Yuzhou eccentric up and down, and then Taichung quickly intervened to stabilize the situation.For Prime Minister Wang's prudent and effective strategy, Chu Chong really learned something, admiring but not lacking in vigilance.

But Chu Chong didn't expect that the least difficult part of the original plan had gone wrong. The edict had been made, but no one accepted it?

This situation is embarrassing. You can either accept it or reject it. You neither accept nor reject it. You just avoid it and let the imperial edict circulate outside. What does this mean?Moreover, the edict has been circulated for too long, and the content has been circulated, can it still receive the original effect?Moreover, the imperial edict was treated with such contempt, how would people at that time view his edict?
After spending the whole night in such a state of anxiety, at the court meeting the next day, probably the matter of the edict had not been fully circulated, so it did not arouse any discussion.However, Chu Chong was sensitive to the sneer in many people's eyes when they looked at him, and his mood became even worse. Then he couldn't help thinking about it, whether Prime Minister Wang had anticipated this situation when he was teaching him?

After the court meeting was over, Chu Chong returned to the official office with a feeling of worrying about gains and losses, and had already begun to consider how to end it.In fact, it is not a special case for imperial edicts to receive such treatment. There are many people at that time who are fat and hide for beauty, and it happens from time to time to avoid going to the mountains to avoid edicts.

But the problem is that it's different from the current situation. Shen Weizhou didn't hide it, he was clearly in Jiangbei Tuzhong, but the imperial edict was really not suitable to be sent across the river.This embarrassment is simply Zhongshu's own fault!
However, the embarrassment did not end there. Not long after Chu Chong returned to the official office, the long-lost Princess Danyang actually visited Zhongshu accompanied by King Langya.

After Chu Chong received the report, he was stunned for a moment, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, the real master has appeared, and no matter what step the situation has reached, it will come to an end.

But he was too happy too early, after welcoming King Langya and the eldest princess into the official office, he saw the eldest princess looking at him with an unkind expression.

"The prince's son-in-law, Du Weiming, was employed by the state. He led the majestic king's teacher, went north to destroy the slaves, and achieved justice! Private Reward!"

Chu Chong couldn't hear too many precepts, and his mind was already buzzing.Fortunately, the eldest princess is only giving instructions in the office. If this word spreads, then the problem is not the issue of whether to accept the edict, but the shameless order of Zhongshu, who seeks personal gain because of power, seeks power, invites favor by pretending to be a public weapon, and forces the son-in-law Accept the indecent reward!
A farce, so far.If Chu Chong knew that his plan failed, it was only because he forcibly prevented Mrs. Yansi from going to see her husband, so that his success failed, I'm afraid he would want to cry even more.

Therefore, taking advantage of the calm situation, the edict of conferring titles was recalled and destroyed, and then Tainei finally came up with a conferring edict, which didn't have much content, but approved Yuzhou's request, set up counties and counties overseas, and determined the duties.Although there is also a tail left in this, except for a few overseas Chinese counties such as Liangjun and Yingchuan, whose duties have been confirmed, the rest are all tentative.Of course, this is another negotiation and contest.

As for mingjue and the like, there is little involved in this edict.The so-called magistrates and the like are nothing.After all, they were all scolded in the face by the eldest princess. Chu Chong knew that he was wronged, and it was difficult to complain to others, but if he was still shy and wanted to give a thick seal, then he was really shameless.

However, even if this is the case, he worked so hard to promote this situation before, and finally ended up in this situation. The inside story and his embarrassment, I am afraid it will be difficult to hide it as a secret, and will become a laughing stock.

After seeing the newly promulgated edict in Taichung, Princess Xingnan couldn't help feeling guilty and anxious. She didn't expect that she would lose the knighthood that Fu Lang deserved when she complained for a while.But after thinking about it again, my husband is very brave, and he will make countless achievements in the future, so why worry about getting a famous title!
So she also put aside her distracting thoughts, and led a dozen close family members, under the guard of Yu Manzhi and others with bitter faces, happily crossing the river to the north.

　A big chapter to finish this plot. . .After Laba is the new year, but there is still no festive atmosphere, and I am still struggling to move bricks and codes. . .
