Chapter 1060: The head and toes are not restrained, and the captives are surrendered!
Chapter 1060: The head and toes are not restrained, and the captives are surrendered! (asking for monthly tickets, two in one)
Despite all the warnings, I still took the wrong path!
The Tianyu Guards are under the jade steps, and there are civil and military officials in the Tianchen Palace.
Like a thorn in the back! Like sitting on pins and needles! Like a fishbone stuck in the throat!
Gum!
Xiong Yiheng's Adam's apple rolled, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhole, and turbid sweat oozed out of his temples, as if what he was stepping on was not gold bricks, but magma!
He was trembling with fear, his feet were numb, his brain was working frantically, and for a moment his senses were magnified infinitely. Everything around him slowed down, and the breeze wrapped around the dust and stuck to the wet tip of his nose.
"Hmm~ Yeah."
A faint coughing sound was heard and then quickly disappeared.
The Inspector Censor frowned slightly, turned his wrist, and rubbed the bamboo board with the tip of the wolf-hair brush.
Among the civil servants, sandwiched in the queue, the elderly ministers looked unhappy, didn't they just clear their throats? It was quiet enough, and they didn't spit it out.
It is spring-like all year round in the imperial city, with pollen often floating in the air. Your Majesty is naturally lenient towards his centenarian ministers.
But it’s just right.
Xiong Yiheng was highly concentrated, his hearing and sense of smell were almost completely blocked. He could not hear or smell anything, but his vision was expanded to the limit. He clearly saw what the censor did!
In other words, keep paying attention!
He had never eaten pork, but he had seen pigs run. On the way here, he had asked Senior Brother Liang about everything.
In the Tianchen Hall, civil officials were seated facing east and military officials were seated facing west. The imperial censors in charge of inspection stood under the jade steps, and were responsible for recording the names of officials who were found to have violated etiquette, such as whispering, coughing, spitting, dropping their ivory tablets, or walking unsteadily, and were waiting to be punished!
I’ve been noted down in the notebook!
If one behaves inappropriately in front of the palace, the punishment may be a salary fine, flogging, stripping of official title, or beheading.
I have no official position or title, so what can I strip? What can I seize?
Skin? Flesh?
still is……
Life?
A strong desire to survive emerged from the bottom of his heart. Xiong Yiheng wanted to turn back to save himself. As if possessed by a ghost, he was halfway through his walk and took a step with his right foot. After landing, he took another step with his right foot, taking two steps with one leg!
?
The Tianyu Guards and other officials were stunned.
send!
stupid!
Xiong Yiheng wanted to slap himself in the face, and quickly took a step with his left leg to make amends, but perhaps the gap between his two feet was too big, and this step went beyond the normal full step distance!
???
The Tianyu Guards and surrounding officials all looked strange.
The students from Huaiyin Martial Arts Academy...
The current emperor is generous.
Is it really that stressful?
Is meeting the emperor the same as going to the execution ground?
But it is not incomprehensible. They are just teenagers, and there are more people at a grand court meeting than at ordinary ones, so it is normal for them not to understand.
Facts have proved that when people are under high stress, they can do anything stupid.
Du Hanwen and Jin Xiaoyu, who were lagging behind, were stunned, but they quickly realized that Xiong Yiheng had taken the wrong step! Then they began to reflect on how they had just walked.
All of a sudden.
The soles of my feet feel numb after kneeling for a long time, as if they were pricked by thousands of thorns.
"What are those three guys doing?"
Liang Qu was puzzled. He was at the front of the team and had no idea what was going on, but he was aware of the strange atmosphere. He was too embarrassed to look back, so he could only glance sideways and observe with his peripheral vision. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but his pupils dilated when he did.
Worthy!
Dashachun, what are you doing!
Fortunately, it was not the first mistake, the second mistake, but not the third mistake.
After taking two strange steps, Xiong Yiheng finally returned to normal. He came to the lower left side of Liangqu with sweat all over his forehead, as if he had been standing for a long time in the dog days of summer. The sweat was soaking through his temples and almost dripping down his nose.
No.
Liang Qu frowned.
The prime minister was afraid of making a mistake, so he held up his ivory tablet and bowed, "Your Majesty, according to the Book of Rites, 'Etiquette does not extend to common people, and punishment does not extend to officials.' The people do not know the etiquette of paying homage to the emperor, and this is the rule. It is the situation that makes it so. Young people are inexperienced and may be too excited to bear it, so they made a mistake."
The fault was so serious that even the prime minister was pleading for him?
thump!
Xiong Yiheng was crushed by the last straw and knelt down in front of the hall and kowtowed: "I am guilty!"
Liang Qu: “…”
Du Hanwen and Jin Xiaoyu swallowed their saliva and were about to kneel down.
Tianyin remained unmoved.
"What's the crime?"
"Just now when I stepped out of the hall, I took my left foot first!"
"..."
Liang Qu immediately felt someone's eyes falling on him.
It’s the Holy Emperor.
send!
My fault!
Liang Qu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is my fault."
The Holy Emperor was very interested: "What has Liang Qing done wrong?"
"Before the Meridian Gate today..."
Liang Qu began to sweat as he repeated the joke he had made that morning word for word.
Among the Tianyu Guards, Meng Qiang, who was armed to the teeth, heard half of it, understood the reason, and secretly gave a thumbs up.
cowhide.
The soldiers you brought with you.
Let’s talk about the cause and effect.
There was a moment of silence in the hall, followed by countless laughs.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The Holy Emperor looked up and down, and all the civil and military officials laughed along. The entire Tianchen Palace was filled with noise and turned into a sea of joy.
The Censor was helpless and smiled as he looked at the three young boys below.
Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen and Jin Xiaoyu were at their wits' end, feeling uncomfortable and not knowing what was going on.
The eunuch explained with a smile: "There is no such rule when attending court."
No?
The three of them stared at each other.
The laughter in the hall gradually died down, and the Holy Emperor spoke: "In ancient times, there were people who entered the court without walking, praised and bowed without naming, and wore swords and shoes when entering the palace. This was considered the highest level of ministers! In this case, the Minister of Rites."
The civil officials stepped out and said, "I am here."
"Today, I grant you a special gift: Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen, and Jin Xiaoyu, you are free to do whatever you want!"
The three of them were stunned.
The eunuch smiled and reminded them, and the three of them knelt down hurriedly to express their gratitude.
"I bow to thank Your Majesty!"
Liang Qu breathed a sigh of relief.
not bad.
After the victory in the Beiting Battle, the national prestige soared, and then humiliated the remnants of the previous dynasty, the whole country was filled with joy.
The remnants of the Daqian were in such a state of disgrace, looking as panic-stricken as a stray dog. Even a child could kick one of them on the side of the road. Doesn't this further prove the legitimacy of the Dashun?
The actions of the three today emphasized the identity of "children" and gave another kick to the Ghost Mother Cult.
The series of brilliant victories proved the great power of Dashun. The presence of envoys from small countries was not only not a loss of face, but also a celebration of the Spring Festival, a confidence, and happiness for the people!
Be confident in your abilities and you will have a filter for everything you do!
Some people even feel secretly envious.
Your Majesty is busy with many affairs.
How could a normal meeting and going through the formalities leave such a deep impression?
Who knows, in half a month, they will forget everything and won't even remember the three young men in the martial arts academy. How deep is their impression now? When they become officials in the future and submit a memorial, the Holy Emperor will surely remember them and assign them a job. Wouldn't that be great?
The Holy Emperor encouraged the two of them with words, talked about the good things about the Martial Academy, the many heroes that emerged, and released information.
The three of them also received rewards.
Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen, and Jin Xiaoyu thanked him profusely and left with a sense of relief. They did not realize the concept of leaving a deep impression on the Holy Emperor, but they felt that the wrong step just now was a good thing and not in vain.
A bit like... colorful clothes to entertain parents?
The three of them were thinking wildly.
Afterwards, he sighed at the good relationship between the Holy Emperor and Senior Brother Liang, and said that most people would not dare to make such a joke.
The big thing is done.
Officials from various places reported to the above-mentioned posts, and envoys presented gifts and dances.
The envoy from Southern Xinjiang did not come because the two countries were at war, but when Liang Qu saw the envoy from Beiting, he did not show any sour face. Instead, he went up to congratulate him as if nothing had happened, like a ruthless congratulation machine.
Open until noon.
The general manager stepped forward and read out the last two Panlong edicts.
Liang Qu pricked up his ears.
"I have received the favor of Heaven and am in charge of the Eightfold Sphere. Previously, the Hexi Xunyu invaded the border and jumped into the Liang and Northern Deserts; the southern barbarian chieftains took advantage of the terrain and secretly occupied the rocks and caves. All of this was due to the loyalty and bravery of the Tiger Guards and the dedication of the officers and soldiers. Now the rebel chieftains have arrived with their captives and are offering them. I should show my military achievements and use Heaven's punishment to punish them.
The order was: 1. Choose an auspicious day in the middle of spring to display the captives and beheaded children in the Taimiao, offer sacrifices to the gods of country and report the achievements to the Lord of Heaven.
Second, the Palace Front Department, the Imperial Guards, and the elite troops along the border should be selected from the best and brave, and their military appearance should be tidyed up to show off their might in the capital.
3. Give different amounts of money and silk to the troops, provide generous compensation to the families of those who died in battle, and take good care of the widows, widowers, orphans, and orphans...
I advise all the civil and military officials! The Book of Shang says: "Those who rely on virtue will prosper, those who rely on force will perish." Although I am offering captives and reviewing the troops, I am not showing off my military power...I will announce this to all, so that everyone knows my intention to quell the rebellion and stop the war."
"I have inherited the great order and am in charge of the people... I may grant amnesty to the whole world:... before dawn on February 25th of the 12th year, all criminals in the world who have been sentenced to death or exiled will be pardoned; those who have been sentenced to exile or below will be pardoned; the ten heinous crimes, corruption by officials, robbery and murder, and conspiracy to rebel and above will not be pardoned by this order.
All the roads have seen that the ban is prolonged and has not yet interrupted official business, so we hope that it will be resolved as soon as possible.
What a joke! ...Announce it to the whole world, and let me know what I mean."
Military parade to present prisoners!
Amnesty for the world!
The former were mainly captives from Beiting, and Liang Qu was naturally among them. He received the news early in the morning and would prepare with General He Ningyuan tomorrow and finish it during the day on the Lantern Festival.
In other words.
There are also big scenes!
In line with the last sentence of the imperial edict, "Let everyone know my intention to quell the rebellion and stop the war."
Point to Beiting and southern Xinjiang.
If you don't stop, I will continue to beat you.
call!
Take a deep breath.
Liang Qu walked out of the hall and saw Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen and Jin Xiaoyu with resentful looks in their eyes.
They were at the back of the line, so naturally they came out earlier than Liang Qu.
"Ahem." After two awkward coughs, Liang Qu held the imperial edict in his hand and embraced the three people with his arms. "I will go to collect the reward later. The banquet will be held in the evening, so we won't go home for lunch. What do you want to eat? Senior Brother Liang will treat us! After eating, let's go to the big bathhouse to take a bath? Look at you, your clothes are soaked with sweat!"
"..."
You take a shower to get rid of sweat, right? Don’t worry about how the sweat comes from.
"Brother Liang, is today's situation a good thing?" Du Hanwen asked. He could feel the envious gazes of some people, more than before he met the emperor.
"Hey, this brain is really damn smart!" Liang Qu rubbed Du Hanwen's head, "His Majesty specifically asked the Minister of Rites to write down this privilege for you. It was written down seriously, and it also deepened the impression of His Majesty. Jian is in the emperor's heart, and you should treat us to a meal!"
"..."
"Master Liang!"
"Eunuch Li!" Liang Qu turned around and responded, pushing the three people, "Wait for me outside for a while and think about where to eat. I'll go get the reward first."
People are happy when they are happy.
Liang Qu came to the side hall and was very familiar with the place.
The first is the Marquis's robe, and on the chest, there looks like a real dragon leaping in the water!
Eunuch Li congratulated him: "Lord Liang is wearing the Dragon Spirit Silk. This real dragon would be dead if it were worn by someone else, but it would be alive if it were worn by you. Why don't you transform it and show us how majestic it is?"
"Not today." Liang Qu pulled back his sleeves and rubbed the fabric. "I'm not wearing Long Ling Xiao today. Can I do it another day, another day when I'm not attending court?"
Eunuch Li seemed to be thinking about something.
The two of them were old acquaintances and had a good relationship. It was Eunuch Li who came to pick them up when they entered the hunting tiger camp, so he joked, "Lord Liang has become more extraordinary as he gets older."
"Oh, we are all doing errands for His Majesty, so keep improving."
When you do good things, let people know about it.
The eunuch presented the tray again.
On top is the official seal on the waist badge, and behind it are several boxes of official uniforms, among which there are many sets of official uniforms, including official uniforms, daily uniforms, sacrificial uniforms, etc. On the badge of the Huaishui Commander is a tiger stepping on the waves, which is exclusive to water officers.
comfortable.
After replacing shotguns with cannons, now it’s time to replace them with missiles!
First of all, he was considered a first-class marquis. Liang Qu was previously a second-class earl. The three beasts of Beiting stood on tiptoe and helped him skip the first-class earl and become a marquis! Marquis of Xingyi!
There are three ranks of earl, but no rank of marquis.
but.
There are actually different levels of marquis, such as the Marquis of Champion!
Champion the three armies bravely!
This marquisate with a special name looks the same as the others in rank, but in reality, others are lower than it. What is lower is not the rank on paper, but the achievements behind it!
Therefore, there is a precedent of a marquis being changed to a marquis without being promoted to a duke, but simply being rewarded with a different title.
The title of Marquis of Champion is infinitely close to that of a Duke, or even exceeds it, but the recipient is too young, and there is no other title that can be bestowed upon him in the future.
Not only the Marquis of Guanjun, but because the history of successive dynasties is long, the number of marquises is not large, and the names are often inherited and compared with ancestors, which are basically fixed titles.
According to the historical recipients, these titles can always be compared. Ultimately, the title determines the person. If a title is used by many outstanding people, it will gradually become more valuable.
Marquis of Xingyi is a brand new title.
Originated from Yixing City.
Used by men from Xingyi till today.
Therefore, Liang Qu was not jealous of the title of Marquis of Guanjun. He could make the title of "Marquis of Xingyi" more meaningful with his own abilities!
Let the Marquis of Xingyi be "put on the shelf" like the Marquis of Guanjun, and not be rewarded easily. If he is to be rewarded, he must have made great contributions and be unparalleled in bravery!
Furthermore, even if the title of Marquis of Xingyi is not of high value, he is still a marquis. He is a well-known figure in the imperial capital. Under the Marquis of Liangqu there is a hereditary third-class earl!
Seriously, this hereditary third-class earl is, in a sense, even more valuable than a marquis!
Wealth and prosperity from generation to generation!
The vast majority of people practice cultivation not to become the best in the world.
First, first, there is only one first in the world.
How can it be that easy?
It's not easy to be the first in the state.
Just follow the rules and you're good to go.
Hereditary succession without interruption is the guarantee that the rules give to future generations!
It’s just that Liang Qu is too young, and the benefits have not been realized. Not to mention the long-term, if he lives for another two or three hundred years, he can get tens of millions of taels of silver alone!
I won’t talk about the eighth-rank honorary officers.
Power is not as great as an official position, and dignity is not as great as a title. It is just the icing on the cake, which is paid for.
"Huaishui Commander..."
Liang Qu picked up the official seal, his eyes flickering.
Captain.
Military officer's name.
When the Hebo Office was first established, Xu Yuelong was also a commander, but he was the commander of the Water Balance, a fourth-rank official, while Liang Qu was the commander of the Huai River, a third-rank official. Although they seem to be the same, their ranks are different, and in fact, there is a world of difference between them.
Xu Yuelong's power can only be exercised within the scope of the Huaidong River Basin, which includes a large number of prefectures and most of the Jianghuai area, but it is useless if it is taken out.
His rank as Huaishui Duwei was third rank.
The entire Huai River!
Liang Qu completely jumped out of the local area and was no longer solely under the Huaidong River Port. His superior became the governor of the river!
