Chapter 351 The Saint’s Great Son
If Jia Cong is considered the saint's biological grandson, then Jia She is closer than his biological son.
At least the stubborn fourth will have a lot of fun this time, he has never been so "presumptuous" in front of his father.
The Royal Tent became the home of the sage master. The old man knew Jia She's temperament well, and he felt sorry for his eldest son who had suffered in southern Xinjiang for two years, so he put all the food and wine that was originally reserved for the stubborn fourth son in front of Jia She .
"Eat more, you are dark and thin, have you suffered a lot this time?"
"Hmm...um...hiccup~"
The sage asked his chamberlain to keep replenishing rice for his dear son. He even finished two bowls of large porcelain bowls. The old man also asked his chamberlain to refill the rice. Jia Cong was stunned to see...
"Enhou, eat some more."
"I'm full, I'm full, I'm already full."
"No, you're not full. My companion, why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you give me another bowl of rice? How can a martial artist eat so little?"
Liu Heng looked at his empty bowl and empty rice bucket, and fell into deep thought: Father, is Marquis Jia Enhou your real son?I picked it up?
"Your Majesty, do you want to go to barbecue with me?"
Jia Cong moved to Liu Heng's side with the empty bowl in his arms, and said bitterly, "I think I might be hungry tonight..."
"Let's go, we can't stay in this imperial tent, or we will starve to death!"
Liu Heng looked at the "sweetness" of the old man and his eldest son, and felt sore, and planned to go out with Jia Cong, not wanting to bump into Liu Ke, the thirteenth man who rushed into the imperial tent.
"Huh? Fourth brother, why did you come out?"
"Old Thirteen, why are you here?"
Liu Ke chuckled: "I heard that Jia She was back, so I wanted to come over and have a look. I heard that he fought several battles with the red-haired and yellow-haired Xiyi. I want to hear the story..."
When will the old thirteen's habit of being lively be corrected?
Liu Heng waved his hand: "All right, all right, he is having dinner with Father."
"Ah, that's just right. I'm still hungry. Fourth brother finished his meal?"
"Yeah, I'm going out to have a snack, you go in."
The emperor suddenly smiled and pushed Lao Shisan into the imperial tent. He carried the miserable Jia Cong and strode away from the imperial tent.
When the monarch and his ministers were sitting in another empty tent, roasting meat and talking about the southern border, Old Shisan walked in with a depressed expression on his face.
"Fourth brother, do you have anything to eat, share some with me."
……
Everyone in the camp soon had a personal experience of how much Jia Amnesty was favored by the sage.
Although he was not promoted to a higher rank, the rewards were sent to Rongguo Mansion in carloads.Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, who followed Jia She back to Beijing, were directly promoted to the third level and stayed in Beijing for important positions.
According to the will of the sage, the emperor ordered Jia Rong to be the first-class son of Lishui County, the general of Zhenguo, and the commander of Zuo Weiwei, and granted his wife the second-rank imperial order.
Jia Qiang was promoted to Qingche Duwei, General Zhaoyong, and Youwuwei to command Qianshi.The Qin Tian Jian chose an auspicious day to marry him to Tu Siqi, the daughter of the eldest princess of Deqing and the princess of Xinyang.
The imperial edict was issued from the holy driving shaft of Tieweng Mountain and was quickly sent to Ningguo Mansion.At this point, the two houses of Ning and Rong have completely gotten rid of the loneliness that started in the last years of Zhaowu, and are likely to surpass the peak of that year.
Some officials who didn't know the truth felt that the emperor gave Jia Rong too much reward, and even published a memorial to persuade him.
However, the family members Xungui and the important ministers in the court knew in their hearts that this meant that the two saints wanted to compensate the old prince Yizhong.
"Is this Xiyi ship really that powerful?"
Jia She nodded solemnly: "Saint, Your Majesty, it's not about destroying the prestige of one's own people. Our current warships in Great Xia are only stronger than Xiyi's armed merchant ships. According to the news from the sea caravan, Xiyi The warships can be said to be strong and powerful, and their power is at least [-]% higher than ours."
The Second Saint summoned Jia She and his son to the imperial tent for two consecutive days and carefully inquired about the situation in Southern Xinjiang and Xiyi.
As Jia She described Xi Yi's naval combat prowess in detail, the always confident Saint's face became serious.
He is not very proficient in naval warfare, and his first reaction is that the sea should be banned.
However, thinking of the tens of millions of wealth that sea trade has brought to Guochao since the trial of opening the sea, he still resisted the urge to ban the sea.
"Fourth, what do you think?"
Liu Heng didn't have any good ideas either. This gap is the result of a century-old sea ban. Unlike land warfare, it can be made up in a short period of time.
There is a huge gap in shipbuilding technology, and it is difficult to make up for this lesson!
Fortunately, Xiyi is not monolithic, and Daxia still has enough time to prepare.
Especially the red-haired barbarian named What Tooth? Doesn’t he want to do business with Daxia?
"Father, my son thinks that we can try to use the barbarians to control the barbarians. Didn't the red-haired barbarians want to do business with me before? Let's promise him, and at the same time let people go... What kind of teeth are there to see what the Western countries have?" How strong. If you can learn their sea-going ship technology..."
Jia Cong's face became weird. In fact, the Western countries are really not strong at this time. The only thing that is strong is the strength of naval warfare.
In terms of wealth, the sum of the Western countries is not enough for half of Daxia.Not to mention the population.The mysterious East, in the eyes of Westerners, is simply a paradise. It is estimated that if people are sent there, these Chinese officials will be disgusted by the sewage and feces that exist everywhere in Western cities.
But it’s not bad to go and have a look. Opening your eyes to the world will still be helpful to Daxia’s future.
As for the warship...
Calais galleys, caravels, carracks, Gris galleys, galleons, sloops, brigantines, brigantines, Arabian galleons...
Thanks to the game "The Age of Discovery", although Jia Cong doesn't know much about actual sea-going ships, he can still imitate a cat and draw a rough pattern.
At that time, I will find a way to "invite" a few Xiyi friends, coupled with the strong creativity of Daxia craftsmen, I don't believe that I can't catch up with the red hair and yellow hair...
"Well, I have a little research on sea ships..."
Ok?
The three people in the tent looked at Jia Cong suspiciously, and Jia Cong smiled shyly: "I am very interested in maritime affairs, so I studied it."
"How sure are you?"
I'm afraid it has been studied for a million times.
Liu Heng still knows Jia Cong very well. This kid pulled the prince and shouted that he is the man who wants to be the king of the sea. I am afraid that he has already started to study the Western affairs.
He didn't intend to inquire in detail, and directly gave the order: "I will leave this matter to you, and do it boldly. If you need anything, you can go to the various departments to ask for it."
Jia Amnesty was worried that his good son would be punished by the second sage if he delayed the important event, and wanted to take over the matter, so he said eagerly: "Your Majesty, how can such an important matter be entrusted to a child? Let me do it."
But the two saints looked at him with strange eyes, you don't know how capable your own cub can make trouble?
The second sage looked at Jia Amnesty and asked nervously, "Why does Your Majesty look at me like this?"
Hahahaha...
The saint laughed suddenly and pointed at the shy Jia Cong beside him: "Hou Enhou, I'm afraid you don't know how powerful this kid is. Whatever he dares to say, there is nothing he can't do. An Xin, Even if it doesn't work out in the end, I and the emperor will not blame him."
……
The return of Master Pardon has brought changes to the Jia family that are beyond imagination.
On the third day of the winter month, Yuanyou's seven-year hunt is coming to an end.
As soon as the snow stopped at the beginning of this winter, Iron Net Mountain fell into joy again.The teenagers competed in hunting, galloping through the mountains and forests one by one, bringing back various prey.
"No.1 hunting this winter, Niu Pan."
"No.2, He Chong."
"No.3, Mu Congying."
"No.4, Jia Jue."
……
Jia Cong did not participate in this hunting competition, but Baoyu really shined this time and achieved No. 4 in the fierce competition among hundreds of young men.
The Second Saint was very satisfied with this group of young men, and the reward was much heavier than in previous years.
Liu Heng accepted Jia Cong's suggestion, and all the teenagers who participated in the hunting were given imperial ceremonial knives with the word "imperial bestowed on it" and dragon patterns engraved on it, and the emperor personally bestowed them on everyone's hands, which made these young men very excited.
At the same time, the top ten of the Grand Competition will be given the seventh-rank Sanjie. Anyone who intends to join the army can enter the soon-to-be-established Royal Arms Academy for further study.
All kinds of wild game hunted back became the meal of today's feast, piles of bonfires were lit, and the smell of meat soon permeated the entire camp.
It seems that the originally set literary competition has long since lost the rivalry before the martial arts competition. Instead, it has become a tonic for today's feast, and it has directly been held as a poetry meeting.
"Beyond the Great Wall, the wind is blowing, the river is frozen. The vast sea has hundreds of waves, and the Yinshan Mountains are covered with snow for thousands of miles.
The fire of war is in danger, and the mountains lead to high festivals.Rolling the Jingjing leisurely, drinking horses out of the Great Wall.
The cold sand even rides the track, and the new wind blows the sound of breaking the edge.Hu Chen clears the jade plug, Qiang flute rhymes with gold.
Juemo fights and fights, and the chariots vibrate Yuanxi.The captain turned against Longdui, and the general turned to Mayi.
The atmosphere is quiet and foggy, and Ji Shi's fame is established.The descendants of the barren are dressed in military uniforms, and the Lingtai triumphantly enters. "
(Borrowing from Li Shimin's "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Cave", can a scholar be counted as plagiarizing?)
Jia Cong used a Yuefu poem to bring the war to the front of everyone. The generals felt as if they had returned to the time when they followed the Supreme Emperor's five expeditions to Mobei, thinking of those brothers who died in the grassland.
The sage master felt that this poem was about him, that he had written about his heroism in drinking the vast sea of horses, and about the prosperity of the Great Xia in the year of Zhaowu.
Although there are many good poems by other young people, compared with Jia Cong's Yuefu poem, the artistic conception is still far behind.
The warrior Jia Cong was indeed the best at writing poems among the generals' children, and the rest of the young men smiled wryly and regarded this poem as the leader, not daring to compete with him anymore.
The sage master did not hesitate to give rewards, according to the performance of all the people in this civil and military competition, the top three in the civil and military competition were selected, and each was given a dismissal official as an encouragement.
The top three in the martial arts competition are Mu Congying of the Duke of Qian, He Chong, the grandson of He Yaomin, Minister of Rites, and Niu Pan of the Duke of Zhen.
The top three in Wenbi are Rongguo Mansion Jia Cong, Princess Wen'an Lin Daiyu, and Rongguo Mansion Jia Jue.
As soon as the ranking came out, everyone was stunned.
There is no suspense about Jia Cong's first place, but how could Princess Wen'an be ranked?
There is also No. 3 Jia Jue and Jia Baoyu, good guy, the top three are rounded out by Rong Guofu!
After He Yaomin read Daiyu's poem, everyone fell silent.
If Jia Cong's Yuefu poem was not too suitable for the meaning of the sage, Princess Wen'an's poem would be the real number one.
"The wind is strong and the horns are ringing, and the general is hunting the capital.
The grass is dry and the eagle's eyes are sick, and the snow is light with its horseshoes.
Suddenly pass Yanyun Terrace, return to Xiliu Camp.
Looking back at the place where the eagle is shot, the clouds are flat for thousands of miles. "
(Borrow another piece of Wang Wei's "Watching and Hunting" and change it. Who told me that I can't write poetry? Of course it is a borrowing for scholars!)
The teenagers were dumbfounded, can they compare?Can't compare, can't compare at all!
Of course, the top three Wenbi either had titles or received rewards, so the fourth, fifth, and sixth were added for reward.
……
Yuanyou's seven-year hunt ended successfully, and Shengjia returned to Beijing.
It was another snowy day, and the speed of returning to Beijing was obviously much slower than when we set off.On the [-]th day of the winter lunar month, the saint drove in from the west city gate. The ministers respectfully sent the two saints back to the palace, and then they went home one after another, each looking for his mother.
When Master She returned to Rongguo Mansion with his wife and children, all the juniors of the two mansions gathered outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion, and the middle door was wide open to welcome Rongguo Hou home.
After stepping over the brazier to get rid of the negative energy of the military plague, Master Pardon entered the palace and went straight to the Rongxi Hall.
In the past few years, although the relationship between mother and son has eased, the gap over the years cannot be made up with simple words.
However, Mr. Xi can be said to be the most foolish and filial person in the capital, so there is nothing to say about his respect and filial piety to the old lady.
In the past, I didn't think that since Jia She left Beijing to expedition to southern Xinjiang, it would be a lie for the old lady to say that she had no worries.
It wasn't that the old lady resented her eldest son to the point of dying, after all, she was her own flesh and blood. Seeing that Jia She had obviously lost a lot of weight, she was also surprised and distressed.
He hurriedly called mandarin ducks to greet the kitchen to prepare meals, nagging again and again, forcing the eldest son to eat three big bowls of rice.
"The barbarian land in southern Xinjiang is full of miasma. If you can, please ask His Majesty to send someone else to go."
Jia Amnesty used tea to smooth down the food that was about to pile up to his throat, and replied with a wry smile: "My son is a general, and he was ordered by the emperor to march south. How can he pick and choose because of hard work? Mother, don't say this, if the sage knows Don't hang your son up and smoke."
He knew very well the temper of the saint, so this matter should never be mentioned.Besides, now that the North is stable, the only one with military exploits is Southern Xinjiang. He also wants to use his military exploits to regain the title of Duke Rongguo.
After finally bluffing the old lady, Jia Amnesty chatted with Jia Zheng for a while.Seeing that he was exhausted, the old lady let him go down to wash and rest, leaving only Jia Cong to say that he had something to order.
The old lady kept Jia Cong mainly because she wanted to ask about Wang Ziteng.
She didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "You said Wang Ziteng coming back this time, will it affect our family?"
The relationship between Wang's family and Jia's family is too complicated, there is not only hatred, but also unclear relationship between in-laws.
The old lady was afraid that what Wang Ziteng did in the early years to offend the emperor would affect Jia's family, but she misjudged the emperor's mind.
"Grandmother, if the grandson's guess is correct, Wang Ziteng should be able to take on this leisurely talent, but the Wang family survived the crisis because of the Pingxi battle."
Jia Cong felt a little unwilling, and smiled wryly: "Back then, the Zhen family and the officials in the south of the Yangtze River plotted against my uncle's family, which almost destroyed the Lin family. Although Wang Ziteng didn't get involved in this matter, he just watched with cold eyes, without the slightest sense of in-laws. With the matter of the big sister, my grandson wishes he could die in Hexi. But..."
Seeing Jia Cong's gloomy face, the old lady interrupted and said: "Oh, don't worry about this matter. I will discuss it with your father and uncle tomorrow to see how to treat the Wang family in the future. After all, it is Feng girl's mother's family. .”
