On that day, the Shaowu held a banquet in the Pengshan Dojo in the name of welcoming Mr. Peng Keng back to the country. There was wine at the banquet. Wine was not something that could be drunk casually at that time. It was a sacrifice to the gods, and the country
The so-called "enjoyment of several nobles" among middle-class nobles means that after the ceremony, they can receive several glasses of wine from the king on behalf of the gods.
But today, as long as the Lord and Master Peng Keng are happy, it will be fine. The fine wine collected in the country is enough to drink. It is also interesting to say, which official should be in charge of the official wine collection of Bashi Kingdom? It is Master Xuezheng Huwa.
. Xuezheng also serves as the deputy priest, the person who officiates at the national ceremony. He is also nominally in charge of who can drink and when in the country.
But Huwa has never been to Xuezheng's official office, and he has always been responsible for drinking.
The young master drank a little too much today. It seemed that he could not get drunk no matter how much he drank. His face was red but he was getting more and more excited. He talked more and more and his voice became louder and louder. It is rare to see him like this. They talked during the banquet.
The main thing was about the national war. The young minister suddenly asked: "That boy Panhu, where did he abduct my sister? Why didn't they come back with you, junior brother?"
He still drank too much! Huwa said angrily and funny: "You personally gave the order to arrest Panhu in the country. If he comes back with me like this, in full public view, will you arrest him or not?"
The young master slapped his thigh heavily, but it was not his own thigh, but the thigh of the tiger boy sitting next to him. He filled the wine glass with his other hand and said: "I shouldn't, I shouldn't, how could I forget this?"
Where is Mr. Li Zheng!"
A close servant replied cautiously: "My lord, Sir Li Zheng is still in Batu City. He has not come to Pengshan."
The young minister was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I will pass on my order. At that time, Fan Kang was cruel and unkind, and acted against the country of Fan Shi, and conspired to collude with Silk Rang to do harm to the country of Ba. He also used this
In order to threaten me, I will marry my younger sister Shaomiao to him, otherwise I will join forces with the Silk Nation and invade the country.
Master Pan Yuan learned of the plot and went into the enemy camp alone to take his head, disrupting the plan of the two countries to join forces to invade the border. This was a great contribution to the country. Silang had already had different ambitions, so he used this as an excuse to incite Fan Shi.
The country provoked a national war. I did not want to see all the people suffer from the war, so I ordered the Pan Yuan family to be arrested to prevent the war from starting.
But the two countries did not listen to the advice and still started to fight, and now they have been put down. Lord Panyuan has endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden until now. This matter should be announced to the world to rectify his name!"
Everyone present was stunned for a moment. If it was said that the young minister ordered Panhu to be wanted in order to try to prevent the war and take the overall situation into consideration, it would be justifiable. But then the two countries still fought. Looking back now, since they were at war,
In the enemy country, Panhu took the head of the enemy's king, which was a great achievement.
Panhu had been "wronged" for the past two years, and he took the young seedlings to nowhere to go. It seemed that he could get involved by enduring humiliation and burden. Anyway, now that the national war has been won, Panhu is both the master's brother and his brother-in-law.
Whatever the Lord says is up to you.
Everyone understood what was going on, but they all pretended to be suddenly enlightened and made various praises. Some people raised their glasses and proposed to pay homage to Mr. Pan Yuan at the table. The wine became more and more lively.
Vice-President Zhengxiling was also present and interjected, asking: "In that case, does General Panyuan want his official position to be reinstated?"
The young minister let out a wine belch and turned to ask Huwa: "Junior Brother Panhu still wants to be the general of the country? If not, senior brother, I have another appointment."
Huwa smiled and said: "He said that when he resigned, he really resigned. He just wanted to be a happy fairy. Senior brother, he will not care about any official or reward you give him. As long as he has a small seedling."
These words were spoken without any use of spiritual thoughts or consciousness, but the voice was very low, and only Shao Wu could hear it clearly. Shao Wu also lowered his voice and sighed: "Junior brother Wang Wang is still angry with me."
Huwa: "That's not true, he doesn't mean to be angry at all. He is heartless all day long, and he is very happy."
Shao Wu: "Actually, I knew earlier that he served as a general just to show off in front of Xiaomiao, and also so that I could marry Xiaomiao to him. But now that he has fulfilled his wish...then let's do what he wants.
Let's do it. Now that he's done so well, we won't recruit him. We'll just restore him to his ninth rank."
Although the order was given by the young minister at the wine table, no one dared not to carry it out. Lord Caifeng received the order the next day and immediately sent people to deliver the news to every city in the country, and the Caifeng officers in each place publicized it to the people. In this way
Bizarre story
, everyone likes to hear it. Many people in the city did not know at all that Ba Jun, Bo Jun, and Fan Jun all ordered the arrest of Panhu. Now they have heard that Panhu "endured humiliation and shouldered heavy burdens and made great contributions to the country."
legend.
In the past two years, many people in the country have rumored that General Pan Yuan is a monster, transformed from a dog. The dog's name is Panhu. After the latest order of the Shaowu was announced to Ba Yuan, no one dared to do it again.
If you talk about this matter publicly, even if someone mentions it, you will be scolded by others - these are slanderous words from the enemy!
As for the name Panhu, it has spread. In that era, common people's names were very simple, and people often didn't even have surnames, and their family names only belonged to nobles. Nobles were not called by their first names, but by their respective names.
It was also the etiquette of the time to use a title to show respect.
For example, Panhu was once named the Wang Sheng clan, and later the Panyuan clan, but not many people knew his name. Another example is the name Huwa. Except for Xuanyuan or some elders to show his closeness, no one knew his name.
Anyone who calls him this way will respectfully call him Mr. Peng Keng, Mr. Xuezheng or Mr. Husha.
But Huwa himself will always be the same Huwa. His description has hardly changed since he broke through to Dacheng. He has always been the clear-eyed young man.
After the banquet in Pengshan, the young minister returned to Batu and convened a grand court meeting. Master Peng Keng of Xuezheng finally appeared at Bajun’s court meeting for the second time in so many years. Before the national sacrifice ceremony, the most important thing
One thing of course is to reward according to merit. Master Xiling helped Master Fu Zheng draw up a list of meritorious deeds, and Ba Jun announced it in public in the court.
The person who made the most contribution in this national war was Zhennan General Hanxiong, followed by Zhenbei General Beidao, and thirdly Zhendong General Lingbao. These three are all leading commanders. Of course, no one can surpass them in terms of military merit.
In order to arrange seats, only three people can line up first, and the rest can only be placed behind.
The fourth one is actually Panhu! This national war cannot be said to have happened without Panhu. After all, Panhu brought Fan Kang's head back. But if it weren't for Shaowu's latest order, Panhu would have arrived.
Now he is still being hunted by the whole country, but now there is a big reversal. Taking advantage of commending Panhu's meritorious service, the young minister also announced that Junmei Shaomiao will be given to marry him.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether he announces it or not. Xiaomiao has already been abducted by Panhu. This is just to save face and make him comply with the clan etiquette.
Panhu regained his status as one of the nine nobles in the country. The support he owed in the past two years was repaid in one go. The monarch also had generous rewards, but he did not continue to serve as the general of Zhenxi and resigned from his post to live idle.
Ba Jun also promoted Shu Yi, the general of Zhenxi, who ranked fifth in terms of military merit.
Not counting Panhu, among the three coaches, who has the highest military merit is not very popular, but no one has any objection to this decision. Because Shu Yi’s surname is Ba, his full name should be Ba Shu Yi, just like the full name of Shaowu
It should be Ba Shaowu. He is the son of Hou Lin and Shaowu's half-brother. This time he also led the army to the front line.
None of the original four generals who held military power were from the clan. Even if many people did not say it publicly, they still complained about it privately. Panhu voluntarily resigned from the position of general, which was actually a favor to the young minister.
He is busy, even if Panhu is willing to return to the court this time, the young minister plans to make another appointment.
Soldiers on the front line who have made great achievements must of course be rewarded and promoted. It is easy to get a title, but there are only so many important official positions in the court. Sometimes there is no promotion. Everyone is a meritorious minister, so you can't take others down.
.So Panhu's resignation is equivalent to giving up a position, so that the generals can see the hope of promotion and compete for the military glory.
The rest of the ministers, including Hu Wa, who has been cultivating in Bujin Mountain, also received rewards, and everyone seemed to be very happy. A special meritorious minister came to the court today. The young minister had already issued a strict order, and no one should show any surprise.
Otherwise, he will be severely punished. So when he walked into the court, everyone's eyes were gentle and friendly, as if they were looking at a very familiar old friend, and they hid all their surprises and did not dare to reveal them.
This person is Fei Lang. He has been named Feitian General by the young minister. The three Yu nationality armies he led have made irreplaceable achievements. First, they annihilated the spirit beast cavalry of the Silk Kingdom, and secondly, they captured
Ximen of Silk City. Of the 153 tribesmen he brought, 32 were lost in the final decisive battle.
The people of the Yu tribe are frightening when they fly in the air to kill enemies, but when they land on the ground and walk, they look quite funny. They have slender and short bodies and carry a pair of large and clumsy wings. They usually only wear one around their waists in the tribe.
It is a simple leather skirt, but it is not convenient to wear in the court. The young minister specially ordered someone to make a suit of clothes for Fei Lang, with the back open and the wings still exposed.
Fei Lang's appearance made people laugh, but no one dared to laugh. Shao Wu commended him and the Yu nationality warriors for their meritorious service, and asked him what reward he wanted. No matter what the request was, as long as Shao Wu could fulfill it, he would do it.
Fully satisfied!
With Feilang's meritorious service, if he were another person, he would at least be able to become a city lord, and he would also receive a large fiefdom and many valuable rewards. But Feilang didn't want these. Everything he said and did in the court was cautious.
He is extremely reserved, and you can tell at a glance that he feels uncomfortable.
Fei Lang saluted and thanked him. When he knelt down, he could hardly be seen. His whole body was covered by a pair of wings. He said that he did not need Ba Jun's reward, and also thanked Ba Jun for his support to the Yumen tribe over the years.
He only asked Bajun to give good care to his clan members who died on the battlefield.
The young minister then did not appoint Fei Lang as an official anymore, but ordered Master Kuramasa to take Fei Lang to the central warehouse tomorrow. As long as it is what the Yu people need, he will be rewarded and send a special person to Yu in the Southern Wilderness.
