1132. Chapter 1132: Adding Officials and Nobles (2)(1/3)
"Ji Hanshu" says:
"At that time, the emperor ordered those who came to visit him to announce the imperial edict, posthumously honor the founding father of Jihan, and reward hundreds of officials and generals in the court. Everyone was happy."
"Only when I hear the names of the late Prime Minister Liang and others, I remember the difficulties of founding the country during the Han Dynasty and feel the loyalty and righteousness of my ancestors. I shed tears like a fountain. Such is the importance of emotion and righteousness."
"When the emperor and his ministers saw him like this, they were immediately horrified, and they all felt respectful."
After Liu Yan was awarded the title, the next people who received promotions and promotions repeated the fixed process without any disturbance.
The recipients of today's rewards are basically generals in the military who have accumulated military exploits during their overseas campaigns over the years.
In addition, it was the first court meeting in Chang'an, and the woman's title was read out before envoys were sent to deliver the seal and ribbon to the house.
There are also generals like King Jiang Wei who are guarding the key points in the east and cannot return to the court. They either have people be granted the title on their behalf, or the emperor sends angels to read out the policy to the army.
For Feng Junhou, what was a little embarrassing in the process of promotion was that not far away from the imperial censor who was holding the seal and ribbon for him, sat the censor Zhongcheng.
This censor, Zhongcheng, had a surname of Meng and a given name of Huo.
He has a daughter named Huawan.
She is the wife of Guan Suo, the general of Zhendong, and the lover of Feng Zhongduhu.
At this time, Censor Zhongcheng was looking at Feng Zhongduhu who was being conferred with a complex expression.
If it had been someone else, his daughter would have been able to discern talents when Guan Suo was unknown, and he would have decided to make a private decision for life. In the end, Guan Suo lived up to his daughter and finally became famous.
If it were just the previous paragraph, it would be the template for Nanxiang opera that everyone loves to hear.
Unfortunately……
"It's just that I was interested in Feng Mingwen at the beginning!"
Meng Huo looked at the knighted Protector Feng Zhong in the middle of the hall, and his heart felt like a knife:
The youngest important minister of the Han Dynasty, who was originally his son-in-law, just slipped away from his hands.
The most disgusting thing is that, even though he clearly cannot become his son-in-law, he still refuses to let go of his daughter in the end. This is simply not a son-in-law!
Outsiders all said that his daughter had a keen eye and recognized talents, but as a master of Huawan, how could Meng Huo not know the twists and turns involved?
Although walking marriages are common among the Yi tribes in Nanzhong, it is also common for people to know their mother but not their father.
After all, before Grandpa Zhuge came over, each tribe had to find ways to increase its strength in order to prevent being annexed by others.
Population is the most important basis of strength.
So Meng Huo didn't care whose child his daughter wanted to have.
but……
It is really heartbreaking to lose a son-in-law who is the Protector of the Right Hussars.
Feng Zhongduhu stood up holding the seal ribbon. When he turned around, he accidentally saw Meng Huo's resentful gaze not far away and was so frightened that he almost staggered.
Compared with the complicated thoughts of Censor Zhongcheng, the thoughts of Feng Zhongduhu are much simpler.
Let your wife marry the other party's daughter, and then sleep with your wife's wife - my wife's wife is still my wife!
It can be seen that the operation of Feng Zhongduhu cannot be operated by non-P Club players with Grade A Zhan Fan.
Now facing the uncle who is called my wife but is actually my cheap uncle, even if Feng Zhongduhu is the ghost king of Nanzhong, I feel very weak.
I originally wanted to wait for a while so that my legs, which had been sitting on my knees for too long, could relax more.
Now seeing Meng Huo's gaze, Feng Zhongduhu trotted back to his seat and sat down quietly.
The canonization ceremony ended earlier than Feng Zhongduhu imagined.
At the time of application, the visitors could only be heard shouting:
"Those with more than two thousand stones and those with special orders from the emperor will stay, and the rest will leave the palace!"
After receiving the edict, most of the courtiers stood up one after another, walked to the middle of the hall, lined up, paused, and then bowed their heads and walked out with hurried little steps (that is, a worship dance).
Feng Zhongdu looked enviously at the group of guys being liberated, and then took advantage of this good opportunity to quietly move his butt and legs again.
After all these people exited the small yellow door, the servants began to carry the tables into the palace, and then the food that had been prepared in the dining room was brought up like flowing water.
Smelling the aroma of food, many of the people who had been hungry for a long time subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
It has to be said that in the entire Han Dynasty, except for the palace of Governor Feng Zhong, the food in the palace is probably the most exquisite.
In Guanzhong in October, the nights are long and the days are short. It is not that cold during the day, but as soon as the sun turns west, the cold becomes faint.
The hot pot is made of brass, the milky white soup inside is bubbling, and it is burned with high-quality smokeless charcoal.
Evenly thick slices of mutton, snow-white fish breasts, fresh deer breasts, perfectly stewed beef, and even bear paws.
As for things like pork, chicken, goose, and duck, let alone that.
As for drinks, there is peach wine, a specialty of Liangzhou, and honey wine from Nanxiang.
Of course, if you want to drink hard liquor, that's okay too.
There is also rice wine that just came out in the past two years.
I heard that this is a new type of mead brewed from grains. It has a mellow, soft and fresh taste that makes people unable to put down the glass.
This kind of wine is more popular than Nanxiang's honey wine.
I don’t know how much higher it is than the previous turbid wine that was also brewed from grains.
Ever since Liangzhou became self-sufficient in food, the prohibition on alcohol in the Han Dynasty has been continuously relaxed.
It is definitely not allowed to make wine rice without permission. Once discovered, it will be a serious crime.
But if you are willing to spend money and buy distiller's yeast from the government, you can make wine.
The price of koji is a bit high. First, it limits the waste of food, and second, it includes tax.
Not to mention drinking it yourself, it doesn't matter even if you sell it - as long as you think the wine you brew can be compared with mead, rice wine or even rose peach wine.
Without distillation or filtration, the wine produced by most people is very turbid.
And the color of the turbidity is random, including gray, gray-green, green, bright green...
When you drink it, it tastes sour, astringent, and tastes different.
The difference between a good wine and a bad one depends on who can minimize the sourness in the wine.
Not to mention the Han Dynasty, even in the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years later, the wine made by ordinary people still looked like this.
Otherwise, how could there be a poem about "the wine glass is full of new wine and has stopped being turbid"?
Let alone the Three Kingdoms, how can it be compared with mead, yellow wine and peach wine?
Therefore, even though the ministers in the palace are all pillars of the country, they still can't help but twitch their index fingers when they see these dazzling wines and delicacies.
Next to each table, a palace maid is assigned to serve someone specially.
As for the officials outside the palace, they naturally do not receive such preferential treatment.
However, since hot pot is also served - although it uses coal - there is no need to eat cold food.
After the banquet was arranged, the maid kneeling beside the table and serving asked in a voice like an oriole:
"May I ask what kind of wine you want to drink?"
“Putao Bar.”
Wine is not Feng Zhongduhu's favorite, but if he has to drink it, drinking peach wine and rice wine is the best choice.
However, Feng Zhongduhu prefers sweetness, so he chose peach wine.
The chilled peach wine was slowly poured into the jade porcelain cup, the red and white complemented each other, and the jade hand pouring the wine was as tender as green onions - the little fat man was a good playmaker.
The first glass of wine was started by the emperor.
But when he saw Adou raising his glass, he congratulated:
"Congratulations to the great man!"
All the ministers raised their glasses and shouted:
"Congratulations to the great man!"
After drinking the cup together, Feng Junhou immediately picked up a large piece of mutton slices from the hot pot, without dipping it in the sauce, and put it directly into his mouth.
I have been hungry for a day, there is nothing in my stomach, and I feel like my heart is in front of my back.
Anyway, it was not his turn to be the first to toast the little fat man.
I saw Liu Yong, the king of Ganling, standing up to raise his glass and said loudly:
"I congratulate Your Majesty!"
The little fat man was extremely happy and also raised his glass: "Drink to win!"
Seeing that Feng Zhongdu was eating in a hurry, the serving maid took out a few slices of meat from the hot pot very considerately, put them into the sauce bowl, dipped them in them, and then blew them a few more times before putting them on Feng Zhongdu.
Protect the bowl.
The service was very attentive, at least compared to when Feng Zhongdu was dining at his own house and had to take the initiative to pick up food for his wife from time to time.
