August 25 in the sixth year of the summer calendar is the 15th day of the seventh month of the old calendar, the mid-year festival.

That night, in the Zhongtiao Township of Lanxian County, Li Ji and the unturned military officials in the township got together to drink.

There was a bonfire that was not big or small, and the spears and halberds in the village arsenal were also taken, and they were nailed to the ground around the bonfire, crooked and dense.

The hilt of the spear is engraved with a name, and some have two or three names engraved on it, but if a halberd with multiple names is framed by a newly engraved box, it means that the former user has died.

These spears and halberds are gathered together and set up, and a slender white cloth is hung, like a forest of white flags.

Tian Xin has the habit of remembering the fallen robes on the 15th of July, and this habit goes deep into all parts of Beifu.

Everyone has people who don't want to be forgotten, and they don't want to be easily forgotten.

Even if Li Ji is a traveler passing through Lanxian, he is a member of Beifu after all, and he has this sacrificial habit that is different from that of outsiders, so he is naturally invited.

After drinking three bowls of turbid wine, Li Ji also drew his sword, accompanied by fencing, and listened to the desolate singing of the military officials of the department.

His sword was well-forged, polished as smooth as a mirror, and reflected in the bonfire like a flaming sword of fire, attracting the attention of the surrounding soldiers.

This sword is engraved with the six characters of 'Jiangxia Pingchun Li Ji', and the soldiers of Beifu all have swords, and the inscriptions are all from their hometowns and real names; after the death of the corpse, the bones are cremated, and the sword is the only burial item.

After the Northern Expedition, the supplies were abundant, and almost every sword buried would be wrapped in a layer of pine resin scabbard.

Tonight, when the moon was in the sky, Li Ji thought about the past, and the three bowls of turbid wine caused him to feel a deep sense of sorrow.

Under the same clear night sky, Fa Miao, who had returned to his hometown, also burned incense for Fa Zheng in the newly renovated temple of his ancestral home in Meixian County, silently praying for what had happened recently.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, there have been many posthumous seals on the law, and after the eldest son of the emperor was born to be a healthy child, he was immediately canonized as the crown prince.

If there is no accident, the next round of amnesty or posthumous title should be when the crown prince ascends the throne.

Up to now, Fa Zheng has been posthumously named the Marquis of Xinguang Wing, Xinguang is the title, and the wing is the nickname.

Among the former ministers of the first emperor, there is currently a good name for the law, and there are no other old ministers; Zhao Lei, the founder of Zhuo County, died in defeat, and Ma Liang died in a complicated manner, so he did not receive a nickname.

Originally, under the promotion of the Lumen Mountain lineage, the imperial court intended to posthumously crown Pang Tong and his son Pang Hong, but Tian Xin did not respond here, and there was no response to this matter.

Therefore, the current glory of Fazheng is unique in the Han Dynasty.

And the new Guanghou of Fazheng only belongs to Fazheng alone, and has not been passed on to Fa Miao; Fa Miao is still only a pavilion with 300 households...... All the posthumous titles given to Fazheng by the imperial court, except for the benefits of the name, there is nothing else.

If you insist on saying that there is, that is, Meixian County is allowed to build a temple to worship Fazheng, in other words, Fazheng is no longer an ordinary lonely ghost and a wild ghost, but a god with authority.

In the future, it may continue to develop in the history of Meixian County, and this 'Xinguang Jun' may also be promoted and transferred to a higher-ranking god of mountains and rivers.

When Jiang Ji served as the leader of the Central Army, in order to calm down the slander of public opinion, he used his son Tuomeng, who died young, to make a fuss, and let Taishan Mansion Jun have the surname Sun.

In the future, if the Fa family continues to develop, there will always be people who will tinker and weave some stories in order to cling to it, so that the career of 'Xinguangjun' can advance by leaps and bounds in the spiritual world. Several generations have passed, and it is also possible for Xinguangjun to become the emperor of a party.

Fazheng's fellow villager Meng Da also took a vacation to worship the ancestors at home, although the ancestors did not have the habit of accepting sacrifices during the Midyear Festival, but the grandfather always liked to accommodate his grandchildren.

Generations of grandfathers accommodate generations of grandchildren...... Naturally, they will accommodate Meng Da together.

Unlike Famiao, where it is cold and alone, Mengda is lively here.

His son, General Yangwu Meiyang Pavilion Hou Mengxing, adopted son-in-law Guozijian Right Servant Shot, Prince Wei led Changbai Niu Pavilion Hou Dianman to accompany him to worship his ancestors, which was naturally very lively.

For such a thing as ancestor worship, Dianman has been very light; Dian Wei's temple is in Nanyang, there are five families in the old tribe as a temple household, responsible for sprinkling sweeping, maintenance, all year round there are people who admire Dian Wei's reputation, or there are nostalgic travelers who pass through Bainiuyi to burn a stick of incense.

The adopted daughter Meng Ji even asked for leave to come back from her busy schedule, and also brought greetings from the eldest princess...... It made Meng Da's old bones lighter, and the whole person was refreshed.

After the ancestor worship process was completed, Meng Da's family dined together.

In the past, after worshipping the ancestors, the food was mainly cold food.

Cold food is not good for the body, and some areas, such as Shangdang, advocate cold food, forming a strong regional cold food festival.

Cao Cao was very opposed and ordered to prohibit this kind of festival that sacrificed to the ancients and was not conducive to the health of the living.

Tian Xin is also against eating stale food here, so Meng Da's family eats a bland vegetarian diet after completing the ancestor worship ceremony.

During the banquet, Meng Da was in a happy mood and said: "Recently, I have had close exchanges with the official letters, and I intend to resign from the post of the servant of the Han family and transfer to the Zhengqing of Honglu Temple. ”

Meng Xing, Dian Man and his wife all listened quietly, Meng Da is the highest position in the family, one of the Han Jiuqing, if you are willing to go to Jiangdu, it is also a good destination to ask for a third public pension as a façade.

But Meng Da was tired of the humid climate in the south, and after returning to Guanzhong, he had no interest in running around, let alone giving up his real job to make a decoration for the court.

He was down-to-earth and elaborated: "The original intention of Honglu Temple was to receive the Quartet vassal states and foreign countries, and to manage the affairs of the five vassal states of Zhangye, the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, Qiangdi, Baman, Jingman, etc. This matter has always been in the sole charge of the auxiliary wing Zhonglang, and it is inconvenient to change it. ”

"The so-called Honglu has the meaning of conveying things for thousands of miles. It coincides with the transportation construction and other affairs that I am in charge of, and it will be worthy of the name in the future. ”

Guanlong Han servant affairs are in charge of Zhonglang generals Wang Ping and Xu Jian, Xu Jian is in charge of Han servant taxation, and Wang Ping is in charge of military service levy; These two lieutenants will be subordinate to Lang Zhongling, and no new Lang Zhongling has been appointed.

Everyone wants to compete for this important position, but Tian Xin would rather lack it than abuse it here, anyway, the work of the guards, Lang officials, and attendants is right under their noses, and they won't get in the way if they grasp it themselves.

In the future, when Lang Zhongling is appointed, the affairs of the Han Dynasty, Zhuhu, subject states, and foreign countries may also be under the jurisdiction of Lang Zhongling; Or set up a few more generals and doctors in charge of a certain affairs under Lang Zhong's order, and the problem can be solved.

The great Honglu of the Han Dynasty, who was the pawn of Qin, was responsible for cultivating translators, managing the entry and worship of internal and external subjects, and also responsible for foreign affairs.

According to the legal theory, the feudal state is divided into internal and external, and the Dai State and Qi State under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty are the internal domains; The outer vassals were generally divided princes, or Zhuhu and barbarian tribes.

Zhuge Liang's battle in Nanzhong was to defeat the outer domains into internal domains.

Although they are all vassals, their obligations are different.

Meng Da took the opportunity to worship his ancestors and called his son and son-in-law back, and the story was naturally not about the change of power in Honglu Temple...... Instead, he wants to resign from his position as a servant of the Han family.

This is a very important matter, ventilate the son and son-in-law first, let them be cautious and not miss the opportunity.

The position of the servant is already dispensable, and because it is dispensable, he is ready to resign...... It was a serious warning to the imperial court not to be reckless at a critical moment.

It's just that Meng Da's official document of Jiang Du's resignation is moving at a normal postal speed, and at this critical juncture, it seems a little slow.
