Chapter 261: The Divine Decree
The official ship sailed into the city and slowly entered the Shijiao River. In front of him is the dock where the official ship docks, Lin Bonian sat in the boat hall and saw a group of people crowded together on the dock through the carved wooden window, Lin Bonian was very satisfied. In the capital, he couldn't enjoy this kind of treatment of being greeted and waited, because at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he was rarely qualified to play a score as a deputy envoy of the Third Division. But when he arrived in Hangzhou, this trip was the identity of Qincha, and if he didn't like it, he was afraid that when Liang saw him, he would be polite.
In the lively atmosphere of gongs and drums, the official ship docked. Lin Bonian went to the bow of the ship surrounded by his entourage. He saw King Liang's father and son standing on the shore, saw the Hangzhou prefect and other officials, saw the heavily armed generals of the Ning Navy, and even saw the head of the Lin family, his brother Lin Boyong, who was full of excitement and had tears in his eyes.
Lin Bonian quickly got off the boat and came to the dock, Guo Bing and his son, Yan Zhengsu and Song Yanping had already clasped their fists and saluted, and there was a commotion in their mouths.
"Greetings to Lord Qincha, this king has been waiting for a long time." Guo Bing smiled with a smile on his face.
"The prefect of Hangzhou is solemn and polite."
"Song Yanping, the commander of the Hangzhou Ning Navy, gave a salute to Lord Qincha."
“……”
A cadre of officials stepped forward to salute. Lin Bonian returned the salute one by one, and said in his mouth: "The prince is polite, Lord Yan is polite, Lord Zhang is polite, and Commander Song is polite." Everybody's courteous. Teaching you to wait for a long time, Bonian is deeply disturbed. ”
Lin Bonian maintained his usual humility, although this time it was a Qincha identity, but Lin Bonian thought about it when he came, and he must not be proud of it. King Liang, Yan Zhengsu and others in Hangzhou City must not be offended by themselves. It's not because the Lin family is under their jurisdiction in Hangzhou, but these two people are the younger brothers of the saint, and the other is the friend of the saint's general horn, and it seems that they have little influence, but their position is much higher than their own.
"Hehehe, I received the news that Lord Qincha had arrived in Hangzhou today, and I rushed to the dock early in the morning to wait. We don't have anything, just get up early. Lord Chincha came all the way south, and after walking for a few days, the waterway was bumpy, but it was hard work. What do you think? It's been a smooth journey. Guo Bing laughed.
"Thanks to the prince's blessing, it's going well. I am also from Hangzhou, and I was used to mixing on the water when I was a child, but I didn't get seasick. It's just that in the territory of Chuzhou, I heard that a small group of bandits were rioting and attacking the passing ships on the canal, and the Chuzhou army sent a boat to escort them, but nothing happened. Lin Bonian laughed.
King Liang and Yan Zhengsu's faces changed slightly, and they naturally knew what was going on in Chuzhou. The matter of Zhao'an on Guishan Island has caused chaos. The bandits who escaped from the cottage on Guishan Island began to cause trouble with revenge, so the canals and Hongze Lake in Chuzhou have been very chaotic in the past few days.
"That's good, that's good. A little trouble caused by bandits will soon subside. Guo Bing laughed.
Lin Bonian smiled and nodded, Lin Boyong on the side finally had a chance to talk to his brother, stepped forward and picked up his robe and knelt on the ground to kowtow, and said: "Lin Boyong will give Lord Qincha a salute." ”
Lin Bonian hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, and said angrily: "Big brother, are you trying to torture me?" ”
Lin Boyong said with a smile: "Although I am your eldest brother, but you are now a Qincha, representing the saint, I am not kowtowing to you, but kowtowing to the saint." ”
Lin Bonian smiled: "Haven't I made a decree yet?" I was a messenger at the time of the decree, and I was just your brother the rest of the time. Who else is coming? What about Lin Kelin Run? ”
"It's coming, it's coming, it's all coming. The eldest and the second and third are not here to salute the second uncle? Lin Boyong shouted.
Lin Ke, Lin Run, Lin Quan and others hurriedly squeezed out from the side and knelt on the ground to kowtow to Lin Bonian, this time Lin Bonian did not stop him, they are juniors, and they should kowtow to themselves.
"Okay, all right, get up. Hey, I haven't seen you for ten years, and you're all in good spirits, and I'm very happy. By the way, big brother, is Lin Jue here? ”
"It's coming, it's coming. What about Lin Jue? Why don't you come to the ceremony? Lin Boyong shouted.
Everyone looked around, but knew that Lin Jue must have come. When Lord Qincha came to Hangzhou, everyone who named them had to be present, and Lin Jue was one of them. It's just that because of the matter of the cottage on Guishan Island, Lin Jue has been standing quietly aside since he came to the dock, and he didn't talk to Yan Zhengsu and King Liang's father and son. Yan Zhengsu tried to explain a few words to Lin Jue, but Lin Jue ignored him. Guo Bing sent someone to invite Lin Jue to speak, and he was also closed. They knew that Lin Jue was angry because of the incident on Guishan Island, but they had to give up.
Lin Jue was indeed very angry, although he knew that the matter might be more solemn and had nothing to do with Guo Bing and them, but Lin Jue was angry that since they agreed to this matter, no matter who was in the way, they always failed to fulfill their responsibilities. If they can't do what they promised responsibly, that's their fault. Besides, after the incident came out, they didn't have much to lose, and Lin Jue was not only hostile to everyone on Guishan Island, but also lost Gao Muqing, and Lin Jue lived a very decadent life during this time, and he was very devastated. He decided not to trust these people anymore, and to stay away from them, never believing a word that came out of their mouths. It can be said that this incident has made Lin Jue a little extreme.
Hearing Lin Boyong's shout, Lin Jue slowly squeezed out of the crowd, without the slightest excitement on his face, he only came to Lin Bonian and saluted: "Nephew Lin Jue has seen the second uncle." ”
Lin Bonian frowned a little, how could this Lin Jue look unhappy with a sad face, and he was also a little rude, seeing that he was just arching his hand, it seemed to be very distant.
However, Lin Bonian didn't pay much attention to it, after all, this trip was stained with the light of this young man, so he had the identity of Qincha. Moreover, Lin Jue's father died early, and he was a concubine, so it is reasonable that he has less education and etiquette.
"Okay, good boy, Lin Jue, you're fine. Do you remember the second uncle? When I came back to visit my family, you were only so tall. I've hugged you. Lin Bonian smiled and stretched out his hand to ease the atmosphere.
Everyone around laughed, although these things were not funny, but it was etiquette to laugh at this moment.
"Second uncle, I don't remember." Lin Jue's words made the atmosphere suddenly fall into embarrassment.
Lin Bonian smiled bitterly, and suddenly didn't know what to say. Lin Boyong, Lin Ke and the others all glared at Lin Jue in annoyance, what's wrong with this guy? When he was happy, he looked like someone owed him something. I really don't know how to lift.
Guo Bing and Yan Zhengsu were also speechless, but thinking about the experience of being kicked out by Lin Jue at the Grand Theater that day, the scene in front of them was nothing. Yan Zhengsu sighed secretly, this kid's temper is really stinky and hard, and he is really a teacher from Fang Dunru's door, and he has a virtue with Fang Dunru.
"This ...... Will the Chincha-sama read the decree immediately, or will he rest first? Guo Bing asked, this was what he was most concerned about. Lin Jue's emotions were not worth mentioning in his opinion, if he wasn't ashamed of him, he wouldn't tolerate him to show his face. It's just inconvenient to bother with him at the moment.
"I think it's right here that the decree is read. Everyone is here, so why delay. Besides, I know that you can't wait to listen to the order. Lin Bonian said with a smile.
"Okay, just follow the wishes of the Qincha." Guo Bing, Yan Zhengsu and others said in a loud voice.
Lin Bonian turned around and beckoned to the entourage holding a brocade box behind him, the entourage bowed forward, Lin Bonian shook his sleeves, and respectfully called the brocade box with his hands, holding out a roll of yellow satin. That's a holy decree.
"Liang Wang Guo Bing, Dinghai Hou Guo Kun, Hangzhou Prefect Yan Zhengsu, Ning Navy Commander Song Yanping, Command Deputy Envoy Wang Kai, Songshan Academy Student Lin Jue and want to do people and so on!" Lin Bonian shouted loudly with the holy decree in his hand.
"Long live the saint!" Everyone on the dock knelt down one after another, from the prince to the soldiers, and the black pressure fell to their knees.
"When I heard the report and learned that Hangzhou had won a great victory in the battle against bandits, I was very happy, and everyone praised it. In recent years, the bandits in eastern Zhejiang have been rampant and chaotic, and they have become a problem for their henchmen in order to trouble the sea and frontier. You can understand the worries of the imperial court, and resolutely send troops to encircle and suppress, win more with less, kill the bandits, and win a great victory, which I think is very difficult. This time, the suppression of bandits, without the use of the imperial court's soldiers, the people and officials of Hangzhou actively coerced and worked together, which is even more commendable, and I also commend it. ”
"After the war, I have learned from the appendix that this purpose is to reward the people for their efforts in suppressing bandits. Regardless of the first merit in this battle, the people who participated in the war were all meritorious heroes. Guo Bing is my brother, and I am very happy that this battle did not disgrace me. But I have nothing to reward you with, and the jade belt I used for this trip is my reward. ”
Lin Bonian made a look, and an entourage held a brocade box and sent it to Guo Bing, and in the opened brocade box was a dragon-patterned jade belt, which was the one Guo Chong used every day.
"Long live the saint, long live the saint!" Guo Bing kowtowed and shouted, excited. He is already a first-class prince, and it is impossible to go up the ranks, and there is really nothing to commend. Money and other things are not needed by themselves, and this jade belt has already shown the imperial brother's praise for himself and the change of the imperial brother's attitude towards himself, which is exactly what Guo Bing wants to see, so he is very excited.
"Dinghai waited for Guo Kun, fought bravely in this battle, was not afraid of strong enemies, and killed bloodily, and I was also pleased to hear it. The children of the royal family should be honored for their loyalty and bravery, and they should be commended for not embodying the prestige of our royal family. This was promoted to the third-class Duke of Dinghai, and awarded the position of deputy Du Yu Hou of the Forbidden Army's guard infantry division, and gave him a pair of treasure armor. ”
Guo Kun knelt on the ground and trembled with excitement, he finally got a real job because of this battle. The Sanya Forbidden Army is divided into the Front Division of the Guard Palace, the Guard Horse Military Division and the Guard Infantry Division, commanding all the forbidden troops and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although the Guards Infantry Military Division is the lowest status of the three ya, and the deputy capital Yu Hou is one of the commanders and deputy commanders, and even just a symbolic position, and does not even have the real power to lead the army, but getting the military position of the deputy capital Yu Hou is the best start. This is exactly the result that Guo Kun dreamed of. As for conferring a third-class duke, giving a treasure armor and other awards, it doesn't matter.
"Long live the saint! Hooray! Guo Kun kowtowed like pounding garlic and shouted loudly.
