Chapter 582: Feast

The next day, Zhongshu Province also received a report jointly signed by Cai Wanyi, the prefect of Yazhou, and Ma Fa, the defense envoy of Qiongzhou, explaining the process of quelling the rebellion, and reported that the culprits Fu Xiong and Ma Yu were both killed, and more than 50 people under the jurisdiction of the two of them either surrendered or were captured, with more than 5,000 households and a population of more than 40,000. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoSo far, the slang chaos that has lasted for three months has been calmed down, and all the slang people in the Geeyang army have been annexed.

At the same time, he ordered Yong'an County to be resettled in the original slang gathering area of the Jiyang Army, and sent officials who were familiar with slang affairs to take up posts, set up townships and li, divided land, and properly resettled, and selected meritorious slang people to serve as officials. After that, the subordinate slang people had to abide by the laws of the imperial court, pay taxes, go out of the state to serve, and accept conscription as soldiers.

As soon as the edict was issued, the ministers understood that His Majesty had already taken this opportunity to begin to establish a new order in the slang area. In particular, the establishment of the county, the slang people to surrender to the lijia, and the state service, these measures fundamentally touched the foundation of the Hao chieftain society and challenged the "local customs" of "not belonging to their clan". Once the slang people under the command surrender to Lijia, it is one to bear the service of the imperial court; More crucially, the long-entrenched position of the Hao chiefs will also be shaken. The internal slang of the government's power was divided, and the status of the Hao chieftains changed in order to achieve the goal of long-term peace and stability.

The ministers knew that although this battle was small, it was of great significance, so after the discussion of the court, they planned to add Cai Wanyi as the Marquis of Xinyang, with 200 households and 70 households; added Ma Fa as the general of Dingyuan; Jiang Ke was crowned as a doctor in Taizhong, and he was the same as Yazhou; He Rende was crowned as a doctor in Zhongsan, and because of the incident, the place where he was guarding was not separately sealed; Crowned Li's daughter Li Yulan as a cloud cavalry lieutenant, to be married after another seal, given 30 taels of gold, 10 silk horses. and gave 50,000 yuan to reward the army.

Zhao Hao looked at the fact that in addition to Cai Wanyi eating a bowl of fried noodles, the rest of the rewards were also appropriate, and according to the law, the Empress Dowager gave the seal by decree. Empress Dowager Yang had no desire for power and was unwilling to participate in court politics. After seeing that His Majesty took care of the government in an orderly manner, he basically no longer listened to the government except for the great court meeting of Shuowang, and prayed to the Buddha in the palace to bless the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, as long as the emperor approves it, she will seal it, and the ministers will only ask them to find the emperor when they ask about things, and they will not say much.

Five days later, several people who accepted the reward entered the palace to thank them, in order to show their favor, Empress Dowager Yang ordered a banquet in the Renzheng Palace to entertain a group, accompanied by the Zhongzai, and Zhao Yu should also participate. Because it is the queen mother's feast, according to the rules is fourteen, one less than the emperor's own imperial feast, every five lamps for a paragraph, perhaps there is a break between sitting and sitting again, between the banquet, there is music and dance accompaniment, as well as small singing, singing and earning, drum board, miscellaneous drama and other performances. During the banquet, fifteen lamps were served by the maids in turn.

"Your Majesty, this is a cockle stuffed orange, use it slowly!" Su Lan sat beside the little emperor to serve, she found that as soon as the dish was served, her mind was all on it, and the appearance of the meal was not elegant, just sent a dish, she reminded softly while not distributing the dish.

"Oh, what's this cockle?" Because this kind of banquet has its own people to entertain, and there is a queen mother here, Zhao Yu only needs to deal with it casually, and this banquet is the most sumptuous one he has eaten since he crossed, not to mention some dishes, he has never heard of the name, so his eyes and mouth are not enough, he swallowed a mouthful of quail soup and looked down at the thing that Su Lan brought over and asked.

"Your Majesty, a cockle is something that has eight legs and holds two large claws." Su Lan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and secretly wondered if the little emperor didn't know what this was, but she still patiently explained, but she still looked confused, and said, "This thing was born in the sea and walked sideways." ā€

"Eh, isn't it just a crab? What is it called. Zhao Hao understood at this time, looked at the plate of the dish and frowned, "Why is it so little?" ā€

"Your Majesty, this cockle cooks, only take two claws!" Su Lan was even more strange, but she still patiently explained.

"Throw away the rest, it's too wasteful, will they eat it!" Zhao Yu twitched for no reason when he heard this, a crab eats two paws, even if the seafood is cheap now, it is luxurious enough, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Your Majesty, don't raise your voice!" Su Lan saw that the little emperor was a little angry, and hurriedly pulled his shirt to persuade him.

"This meal is estimated to be enough for me to eat for a year, what a luxury!" Although Zhao Hao lowered his voice, he still said in heartache. His living expenses in the East Palace have always been controlled at about 3,000 per month, which also includes food and clothing for many people in the palace. And the Queen Mother's Fushou Hall costs 40,000 yuan per month, which is much more luxurious than him, but it can't be reduced so as not to fall into the reputation of unfilial piety, so this meal is enough for him to eat for a year.

"Your Majesty, look at the sheep's head to take two wings, the earth step fish to take two gills, and the rest is not edible for nobles, and Your Majesty can't use it!" Su Lan sighed when she saw the little emperor take a bite, realizing that he really didn't understand, and he had the obligation to popularize it with him, and pointed his finger at the road.

"Alas, the people who invented these stinky rules have never starved, I was trapped in Jiazi Town back then, and I used to eat and fish every day, and if I had starved to death so early!" Zhao Hao sighed, and then motioned for Su Lan to clip two more for himself, and worked hard again.

"Your Majesty, pause for a moment!" At this time, Le Sheng remembered that Su Lan knew that it was another five dishes, and it was time to rest, and at this time everyone else had stopped, only His Majesty was still eating, and reminded softly.

"Eh, babbling, what's so nice about jumping around. Besides, all the people in this palace are acquaintances, and it's not the first time they've eaten together, so who doesn't know what kind of temper I have. Give me another one of the clams! Zhao Yu looked up, and sure enough, everyone in His Highness had stopped watching the singing and dancing, and the dishes on the table were all tasted at a moment's notice, not at all like his plates were mostly empty, but he didn't care about the authenticity.

"Alas!" Su Lan also peeked at it, and sure enough, the ministers who accompanied the banquet in the palace had long been familiar with His Majesty's appearance, and none of them showed a look of surprise, obviously they had seen a lot. But when he suddenly found the new continent, he said, "Your Majesty, aren't there Li Yiren's mother and daughter who are facing the saint for the first time?" ā€

"Oh, yes!" Zhao Yu looked up to the right when he heard this, and found that the mother and daughter were sitting in a precarious position, smiling, and very polite. And when he saw it today, he found out that the Li family was still a half-old, and the daughter who was named was only a teenager, but she was still handsome, thinking that there were outsiders here, he had to rest for a while.

"Sanniang, what's wrong with you?" Just as Zhao Yu was watching the boring dance and listening to the pulseless singing, suddenly His Royal Highness let out an exclamation, and he followed the voice, only to see the little girl fall crooked in Li's arms......
