Chapter 1613: Only Good Wine Can Be Drunk
On January 28th of this year, Jiang Wang turned 21 years old.
That is to say, at today's grand sacrifice, a military marquis who is less than 21 years old and has a fief of 3,000 households was born, named Jiang Wang!
The youngest record of being awarded a fief for merit in the contemporary era of the Great Qi Empire was moved forward by several years!
And what is the concept of a fief of 3,000 households?
The life and death of the 3,000 households of the Qi people were all given to Jiang Wang alone.
Like Jiang Wang, who made contributions in the war of attacking Yang, attacked Yang and made Qingyang Town his fiefdom. On the one hand, with the help of Jiang Wang's influence like a banner in the local area, he helped the Qi court consolidate its rule in Yang. On the other hand, in this kind of fiefdom, Jiang Wang, as the lord, only enjoyed the right to tax. And the taxes can only be reduced, not increased, based on the Qi taxes.
The governance of the people in the fiefdom is still the continuation of Qi Ting's power. Although he can influence the appointment and removal of town officials, positions such as the head of the pavilion also need to be reported to the county government. If the people are too cruel, they will also be held accountable by the Qi court.
Just like this war against Xia, after conquering the Xia Kingdom, the Qi court also drew some fiefs on the spot and distributed them to meritorious generals. For example, Jiang Wang was granted Chitan, Chong Xuansheng was granted Mingkong Hanshan... In essence, it was also to use the prestige of these meritorious officials in the war against Xia to consolidate the rule in Xia. At the same time, the power of these fiefs is far from that of food fiefs.
More importantly, whether it is Chitan, Mingkong Hanshan or Qingyang Town, they were all granted after they were conquered. Although they are already Qi territory in legal terms, it will take time to effectively rule them as Qi people. It is a special case of war.
The food fiefs obtained by the marquis are different. They are all Qi people who have been in Qi for generations, and they are the people of Da Qi who are truly closely related to the national situation.
The corresponding household registration list will be handed over to Jiang Wang later.
Jiang Wang can move them all to his fiefdom and recruit the first batch of people whose life and death are completely controlled by him. They can also be placed in their hometowns and just taxed.
The support of these three thousand households of the people is not a big fortune for the extraordinary strong. But it represents a supreme honor.
It means that the dukes and marquises will be honored with the country in this life, and can enjoy the support of the people together with the emperor.
The more fiefs you have, the more you can use the national situation.
In the official system, it is of great benefit to practice!
Dingyuan Hou had the first merit of breaking Xia thirty-three years ago, and then he conquered for many years and accumulated countless merits. With the wonderful performance of the Battle of Mieyang, he was finally awarded the title of marquis.
At that time, the fief was only 7,000 households.
It was after this attack on Xia that he first broke Jianfeng Mountain and forced Yu Liyang to retreat, then killed Long Jiao, the commander of the Xia Zhenguo Army, and first climbed Tongyang City. He also had the merit of commanding the autumn killing, and then the fief was increased by 3,000 households, which increased to 10,000 households.
Generally speaking, the 10,000 households of the marquis are already the highest honor.
And Jiang Wang had achieved the achievement of 3,000 households of fief at the age of twenty.
This is not only his personal honor, but also a martial arts achievement that can be compared among all the countries in the world.
People cheered and celebrated the future of the Great Qi.
On the Dan steps.
Jiang Wuhua clapped his hands and smiled, his face full of joy.
Jiang Wuxie smiled and shook his head, peeled a white snow fruit and swallowed it in one gulp.
Only Jiang Wuyou sat upright with his knees supported, without any unnecessary movements. Full of joy, all in his phoenix eyes.
To this day, no one doubts her original vision.
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.
And in order to get Jiang Wang's promise, she did not hesitate to invest all her overseas resources - this was regarded as a reckless gamble by people at the time, but looking back today, it is a huge investment with a return of more than a hundred times or a thousand times?
Plant a Qingyang man and harvest a Wu'an Marquis!
There are not many people who have such achievements at the age of Jiang Wang in the history of Qi.
The eunuch Qiu Ji personally put on the luxurious python robe that showed the status of Marquis Wu'an for Jiang Wang.
Just like the eunuch Zhong Liwen who was familiar with him put on the robe for the champion Marquis Chong Xuanzun. The more details, the more we can see the emperor's favor.
Qi people like purple, and this marquis's robe is also purple, which is precious. In front and behind, nine pythons are like swallowing clouds.
Mountains and rivers are at the corners of the robe, and the dreamlike star shadows only appear when walking.
Covered with the blue shirt, you can see the elegance of the king!
Once this robe is put on, it is the highest level of a minister. You can look at the court officials at eye level, and you don't need to avoid the commander of the nine soldiers. You are qualified to listen to the meeting in the political hall, just like the senior minister Yu Liyang.
Amid the roar of the mountains and the sea, the two youngest military meritorious marquises in Qi are calm. They look at each other and retreat to both sides for the time being.
The commander of the attack on Xia, Cao Jie, who had achieved the Dao of the True Lord in Xia, walked into the square and climbed onto the high platform.
The Emperor of Qi sat high on the dragon throne, looked down, and said slowly: "Thank you for your hard work, Cao Qing."
Cao Jie, wearing armor, bowed his hands in greeting, and said, "I am glad to have fulfilled my mission!"
The conversation between the monarch and his ministers was only eight words, but the trust they had given each other was self-evident.
The emperor then waved his sleeves, and Jiang Rumo unfolded another edict.
This was the third and last edict that Jiang Rumo, the prime minister of the Great Qi, had read out in person today.
His face was too generous, and his voice was extremely gentle. However, at this time, he was walking around the world and shaking the world -
"In the past, Taizu founded the country, starting from only eleven Jia, and in twenty-one years, he settled the mountains and rivers.
When Emperor Wu restored the country, he had only 30,000 soldiers, and he fought 37 battles to restore the country.
When I was the crown prince, I wore armor and wiped out four countries. After I came to the throne, I destroyed seven more countries. At that time, there was the Xia Emperor Si Yuan, who swept across the world and swallowed up the southeast. No one in the world dared to confront him.
I raised my sword to resist, fought with all my country, killed Si Yuan in battle, wiped out six armies, swallowed up the eastern region, and achieved hegemony. Qi has been called the Eastern Kingdom since then!
In this world of great contention, there are six hegemons, small countries, ancient clans, fighting and killing millions of people.
How can the famous generals in the world compare to the sea of stars? There should be very few who can lead a million troops!
Now there is Cao Jie, who can take charge of the task.
Lead an army of one million and destroy Xia in one battle. Complete my old regrets and connect the southeast.
Just as Taizu had ten ministers of Fengtian, and Emperor Wu had seven generals of Zhenguo, I have Cao Jie!
He was granted the title of Duhou with 30,000 households, and it will be inherited from generation to generation! ”
Cao Jie was granted the title of hereditary marquis of 30,000 households, becoming the highest-ranking noble in the Great Qi Empire. With this title, name, power, and influence, he can be on par with the Grand Marshal of the State from now on.
For example, the titles of Chong Xuanzun and Jiang Wang were lifelong marquises, which could not be passed on to their descendants.
And Cao Jie’s “Du Hou” is a hereditary marquis.
Of course, it is still slightly inferior to the hereditary Marquis of Bo Wang and Jiu Fan.
Because this is a hereditary succession, the title will be downgraded by one level with each successive generation.
Cao Jie’s son is a baron, and his son and grandson are viscounts.
But this single-character marquis is more noble than the double-character marquis. Even the Shimen Li family does not have a fief of 30,000 households.
Especially in this edict, the Emperor of Qi directly compared Cao Jie to the Ten Ministers of Fengtian of Qi Taizu and the Seven Generals of the State of Qi Wudi. Those people can be After death, their spirit tablets were worshipped in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Fengtian and Zhenguo Halls were built for these meritorious officials.
The Emperor of Qi has almost made it clear that in the future, the Imperial Ancestral Temple will definitely open another hall, which will be on par with Fengtian and Zhenguo Halls, or even above them, and Cao Jie will definitely be listed among them!
This is not only a supreme honor, but also has extraordinary significance in this vast world of great power.
The so-called Ten Ministers of Fengtian and Seven Generals of Zhenguo have all died for various reasons.
Just like the stronger the cultivator, the harder it is to recover once injured. The stronger the person, the more complete it will be once he dies.
Jiang Mengxiong was able to suppress the passage between the two realms with a flip of his hand and save Fourteen on the spot with elixir. Under the same conditions, saving an inner palace cultivator is ten times more difficult. Resurrecting a divine cultivator is almost impossible.
And saving a person who has just died, It is also very different from saving someone who has been dead for a long time. The longer the time, the more difficult it is.
These meritorious officials who are listed in the Fengtian and Zhenguo Palaces are all based on the cultivation of the real people of the time. When they died, blood rained from the sky, and the world mourned together. After death, they disappeared in the netherworld, and even their true spirits could not be found.
But entering the temple to be worshipped is different.
Please enter their spirit tablets in the Taimiao, and be worshipped by the Qi State for generations.
They are nurtured by the national power and worshipped with incense... Their spirit, will, and reputation can be preserved. Even if they have been dead for many years and disappeared, there is still hope of resurrection!
So why the dukes and marquises of all dynasties pay so much attention to incense, and why the thousand-year-old family is so prominent. The powerful ancestors who have the possibility of survival and resurrection are also the heritage of the family!
This is one of the places where the national system is stronger than the sect. It is worshipped by the people and opens up the vitality of the world.
When However, those ancient sects also have similar means to survive, but they are not as popular as the Taimiao of the Zongguo.
Cao Jie defeated Xia in one battle, not only becoming the top noble of Daqi today, but also being promised by the emperor in the future. There was no family with the surname Cao before, but since then, the Cao family of Donglai has become a first-class family of Daqi.
Donglai County has also become the only county in Qi with two top families.
However, after Qi Xiao split up and seized the military power of Xia Shi, the Qi family, which was the first family in Donglai, has greatly declined in popularity, and it is difficult to compare with the new Cao family today.
The whole grand ceremony, with Chong Xuanzun, Jiang Wang, and Cao Jie being successively conferred the title of marquis, gradually reached its climax.
The music of the ritual officials striking the chimes was still floating in the sky.
A vigorous war against Xia has officially come to an end.
Spring of the 57th year of Yuanfeng.
The people of Qi won everything they wanted to win.
There are too many people sleeping in the land of Xia.
Like Bao Bozhao, like Ouyang Yong.
Like the vanguard camp of Chong Xuanzun, like Zhong Xin who followed Chong Xuanzun for many years.
Like Tian Anping's 90,000 county soldiers...
Like Jiang Wang Chong Xuansheng's winning camp, more than 2,000 people died in the battle.
But some people also stepped onto a higher stage.
As the saying goes--
"Don't talk about being a marquis, a general's success is the result of thousands of bones!"
...
...
"Don't talk about being a marquis, a general's success is the result of thousands of bones..."
This line of poetry was written on the paper and then erased.
Yuanfeng 57th year, January 24th.
Jiang Wang sat at the desk by the window, writing a letter.
A very long letter.
He wanted to tell Jiang Anan about the spring in Linzi. He wanted to describe the prosperity here, exaggerate the glory he had gained, share all his success and joy... and never mention the pain and danger he had experienced.
During the entire war against Xia, no letters were written, and he had accumulated a lot of things to say.
He also wanted to talk to Ye Qingyu about little An'an's education and plan An'an's cultivation route. He also wanted to help deduce the various applications of the cloud seal magical power with the vision after the divine arrival.
His mood was peaceful, and his brush strokes were also light and leisurely.
Outside the window was the Xiashan Mountain with maple leaves not yet red, and lush greenery could be seen when looking up.
After the offering ceremony at the Taimiao, he was tired of the endless visits from all walks of life, and he was unwilling to waste his precious time in the banquets with wine and food.
So he hid in Xiashan Villa of Chongxuansheng.
Compared with Yaoguangfang in the bustling downtown, and Wu'anhou Mansion which is under construction and even more prosperous, this place is much quieter.
Of course, it is also to avoid some meaningless disputes. For example, the niece of a court doctor, the daughter of the commander of the nine soldiers, the daughter of a minister, and a famous lady...
Even Wen Tinglan from Yanfu's family, out of consideration for her feelings, organized several poetry meetings, and many of her close friends were present - God has mercy on Jiang Wang, what does he know about poetry?
Sitting among a group of beautiful women, listening to their beautiful writing, composing lyrics and singing songs, he was more tired than when he was chasing Shang Yanhu...
There was a beautiful sound of stringed instruments.
Jiang Wang shook his head and his pen moved briskly.
Needless to say, it must be the new neighbor who woke up from a hangover and started the happy time of the day.
Probably to take care of Shangqing Yu Liyang's feelings, although the Qi army captured the last Xia Emperor Si Cheng, the captive offering ceremony, which should have been the focus, was hastily ended, and the Great Qi Anlebo was not humiliated.
Even his former Great Xia harem, his queen and several concubines, were safely sent to him. The rest of the people were dismissed.
Looking at the kings of the fallen countries in history, Si Cheng can be said to have a good ending.
Of course, a heroic ruler like the current Qi Emperor does not need to find any sense of accomplishment in this Anlebo. It would be almost the same if he were Emperor Xia Xiang, who has been dead for many years.
It should be said that after all, he was once the emperor of a country and was rich in thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. This taste of music is indeed high.
Although Jiang Wang could not hear anything, his ears felt very comfortable.
With the help of the music from the neighbor's house, he finished writing the letter slowly. With a slight release of his hand, Yunhe flew out of the window and went straight into the sky. That light and floating heart also flew to the top of the cloud.
It was a good time when the weather was fine, suitable for thinking about An An.
"No, no, I don't want to see anyone!"
The ear sense caught such a shout.
The voice of an indulgent, impatient, middle-aged man, still with a bit of nobility: "Come, continue to play music, continue to dance!"
Jiang Wang's mind moved, got up and left the study, walked through the door and pushed open the door.
Sure enough, in front of the courtyard not far away, there stood a man in gorgeous clothes, like peach blossoms.
The former King Min of Daxia, now the Shangqing of Qi.
He used to be called Peach Blossom Fairy and was the most romantic figure in Daxia. After drinking, he wrote a poem casually, and ranked the thirteen famous mountains in Xia, making "other mountains not as good as" him.
How many songs were composed for people to sing.
How much love was left, and a boudoir complaint was allowed.
After the first Qi-Xia war, he swept away the old debauchery and worked hard to become stronger. As a true lord who achieved success during the Shenwu era of the Xia Kingdom, he was once the hope for the rise of the entire Xia Kingdom.
Such a handsome man with red lips and white teeth is almost a concrete image of the heyday of the Xia Kingdom.
Such a person was turned away by Anle Bo.
The movement of Jiang Wang pushing the door was naturally noticed by him.
He turned around, as if walking in the wind, making the sky sway.
Really beautiful like a blooming flower.
"Yu Shangqing!" Jiang Wang shouted directly: "Can you drink a cup?"
Qi State originally had no Shangqing position, this position was specially set up for Yu Liyang.
The position is extremely honorable, and real power is naturally better than nothing.
A faint smile appeared on Yu Liyang's face: "Yu is a person of extravagance. He never drinks unless he has good wine, and never gets together unless he has good friends. I wonder what kind of wine Wu'an Marquis has?"
Jiang Wang turned half of his body and made a gesture of invitation: "'Xunlin's' Luming'!"
"Luming among wines must be the best. Wu'an among people is a good friend!" Yu Liyang laughed loudly, and came with his sleeves fluttering: "This wine is good!"
There are so many things in life, waiting to start from the beginning.
For example, yesterday, life and death were tormented.
For example, today, cooking wine in spring.
Good season.
