Chapter Lardam

On the first day of the 12th year of Xiangxing, a regular court meeting was held. Officials above the fifth rank in Beijing and officials from all over the country who entered Beijing according to the imperial edict went to the palace to congratulate him. Various countries were also invited to worship him during the seasons.

A series of kneeling prayers were completed in the ceremonies of the ritual officials. After the congratulations, the ministers submitted congratulations. Later, the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty issued an imperial edict and was appointed as the emperor's teacher. Ying Jieyan, the former chief minister of the Song Dynasty, was the Grand Secretary of the Song Dynasty, was the Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat's Grand Secretariat

He also issued an edict to grant Lu Xiufu the left prime minister of the Secretariat as the Shaoshi and Duke of Qi of Jin; Wen Tianxiang the left prime minister of the Secretariat as the Shaobao and Duke of Chu of Jin; Wang Yinglin the left prime minister of the Menxia Province as the Shaofu and Duke of Sui of Jin. Later, Jiang Jin, Han Zhen, Liu Zhu, Ni Liang and other military generals all promoted their titles; Cai Wanyi, Lin Zhiwu, Zhuang Duke, Cai Qiao, Hao Yuntong, Zhuang Shilin, He Rende and others from the former general's office were also awarded titles.

Later, Zhao Bing issued an order to add the title of Queen Mother Yang to "Ci Ming" to demonstrate his achievements in establishing two emperors and restoring the country during the national crisis. He also appointed Zhao Mengjin as King Sixiu, and still led the chief minister of the Zongzheng. All the ministers were surprised by his title of Prince, and it was natural to think about it. The four successor kings of Song Dynasty and three of them were captured to the north, and only King Sixiu Zhao and Zhezhi father and son died in the battlefield, resulting in the extinction of his successor. It was natural that he inherited his successor.

Finally, Zhao Bing gave the emperor's eldest son Jing and was named Duke of Yue; the eldest daughter was Princess Changping, and this daughter was Princess Huai'an. He also promoted the title of the concubines who gave birth to their children. The uncle Yang Liangjie and Yu Guoji were both rewarded. Anyway, Zhao Bing only had these relatives, and everyone benefited from it.

After the imperial edict was announced, all the ministers congratulated him. Zhao Bing ordered the reward of the army and the taxes in Huaidong and Huaixi areas were reduced and exempted. Anyway, it was the New Year, and everyone was happy. Then there was the gift of a banquet, which was the most solemn meal in the year. Although everyone knew that the meaning was not whether you could eat enough or eat well, but whether you could be included in the list of gifts. This was also a kind of honor.

Of course, there are also orders for this. Princes and Dukes can sit at the steps of the hall, and the lower the position will be, the closer it will be to the door. If you can't put it in the hall, just under the corridor outside the hall, you can't put it down, so you can only eat in the open air, eat cold rice, drink cold wine, and see singing and dancing. At least you can hear the sound of wind music, which is a unique flavor...

Tiemur was also invited, and did not eat an open-air banquet, but was also arranged to be at the end of the palace. At this time, Li Qian, Sang Ge and others all returned to Dadu to report, and he was left in Lin'an as hostages, and only Li Siyan, who was the official envoy of power, was accompanied by him, but he was not invited to watch the ceremony. He suspected that it was because of his rebellion against the Song Dynasty, which was disgusted by the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, so he excluded him from the invitation.

Listening to the laughter of the people in the hall, Tiemur felt very harsh and the melodious music was so boring. This was not only because these people robbed their own land and population, but also the loneliness and fear of being alone in a foreign land. He had sent messengers to Dadu many times to inquire about the news, but they were all over the sea, worried that he was abandoned by his father Khan and would never have the chance to return to Dadu and the grassland.

The delicious foods in the Southern Dynasty that I have been changed several times, but Tiemuer still feels tasteless. There are only things that cannot be eaten, but if you want to eat them, there are many bites. Moreover, there are many rules, and you can eat meat as much as you can in the banquets of the Yuan Dynasty. Fortunately, the steamed wine in the Song Dynasty tastes very good, but the Song people are too stingy to drink.

"Mongols, Mongolians!"

"What's the matter?" Suddenly someone poked Tiemuer from behind. He looked back at a man with black hair and blue eyes, but wearing Southern Dynasties' clothing, and said unhappy.

"That...will you eat that?" The man pointed at the dish on his short table. He might not know what the dish was called, and asked with a greed look.

"Give it to you!" Tiemur looked at the empty dishes on Qi's short table, took the plate of roasted mutton on his table, turned around and put it on his table.

"Thank you, Mongolian!" The foreigner bowed to him and began to eat it. After finishing his meal, he stared at the other dishes on his table.

"You are interesting, give it to you all!" Tiemur felt that this foreigner was not as timid as the southerners, but was very refreshing and had the generous personality of the Mongolians. He simply brought all the dishes he had moved and had not moved.

"Oh, Mongolians, what's your name?" The foreigners were very happy and handed the wine they had given to Tiemur Canal.

"My name is Tiemur, the son of the Mongolian Khan, and the prince of the Yuan Dynasty. Where are you?" Tiemur's swaying wine pot was still full, and he didn't drink it at all. He asked after answering.

"I am an Assyrian, just call me Raldam. We don't drink alcohol." Raldam shrugged.

"Oh, what are you doing? How did you come to the Southern Dynasties?" Timur asked strangely when he knew that the Assyrians lived in the Baghdad region and were destroyed during the Mongol expedition.

"My country has been destroyed by you Mongols!" Laldam saw Timur showing an awkward look and waved his hand, "But don't misunderstand, I don't hate you Mongols. We Assyrians have also ruled the Armenian plains with powerful force, but they have conspired to destroy the country. Because we once massacred rebels like you, they also hate us Assyrians."

"Well, it turns out that you Assyrians have also been powerful!" Tiemur nodded.

"I am the son of an Assyrian chief. I was sent to the Baghdad Wisdom Hall to study with astrologers since I was a child. Later, the Wisdom Hall broke through Baghdad and burned the Wisdom Hall. I escaped. Two years ago, some merchants from the Southern Dynasty said that their emperor liked our books and culture very much, and they paid a lot of money to recruit translators, craftsmen and scholars. After I heard about it, I found them and came to the Southern Dynasty by boat!" said Laldam.

"Then why can you enter the palace to attend the court meeting?" Tiemur initially thought he was an envoy from a foreign country, but he didn't expect that he was just a recruited scholar and was curious and authentic.

"I have a good relationship with the Chief of the General Office of the Inner Court of the Southern Dynasty. He wanted to recommend me to the Emperor to the Imperial Heavenly Prison, but the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty did not know astrology and only agreed to me to enter the General Translation Museum to translate the classics." Laldam said helplessly, "I like the food of the Southern Dynasty. I heard that there will be an imperial banquet after the Grand Court meeting, so I asked the Chief of the Zhuang to bring me into the palace."

"Can he bring you into the palace?" Tiemur said in a little convinced.

"It is said that when the emperor was still very young, General Zhuang defected to him and managed his money. He was very trusted by the emperor. Now all the business in the inner court was handed over to him, and he was just named Marquis. Those ministers wanted to please him, and it was easy to bring me in." Laldam said with a smile while eating.

"So that marquis is very good to you?" Tiemur asked after taking a sip of wine.

"Of course, he went overseas to do business in his early years and sold goods from the Southern Dynasties to the West. Therefore, he believed in astrology and often asked me to solve his doubts!" ​​Laldam said softly.

"Aren't you afraid that I will sue?" Tiemur said with a proud look.

"I'm not afraid. You are the enemy of the Southern Dynasties. They will not believe you, and there will be many friends who are high-ranking officials to help me!" Laldam said with a smile.

"Why would they help you?" Tiemur couldn't help but feel embarrassed and smiled.

"The emperors of the Southern Dynasty did not believe in astrology, but some ministers believed that they often asked me to interpret the astrology for them in secret. If I was exposed by you, they would worry that the secret would be leaked and would plead for me, and you would be in a bad mood." Raldam said with a chuckling.

"Don't scare me. People in the Southern Dynasty only believe in the theory of the five elements, and then the art of divination and calculation, and they will not believe in astrology." Tie Muer smiled.

"Believe it or not!" Raldam didn't care and continued to enjoy the food.

"Give me wine and food, how about we all together?" Tiemur hesitated when he heard this, and twisted his body and spoke very hard. He thought about it and suggested.

"I can't find it!" Laldam said happily.

After a singing and dancing, another round of new dishes was served. The two of them got their needs, and they became much more harmonious. "Do you know astrology, can you help me predict the good or bad luck?" Tiemur asked after drinking a sip of wine.

"No!" Raldam rejected happily.

"Why? I can also pay money!" Tiemur was rejected and frowned.

"It's not a matter of money!" Raldam shook his head, "You don't understand astrology at all. It cannot predict good or bad luck, but describes the ups and downs of a person's fortune in a cycle, and cannot predict the occurrence of events."

"There are also astrologers in my Dayuan Palace. They can all predict good and bad luck. Success or failure is your ability to be modest!" Tie Muer teased.

"My teacher is the greatest astrologer in the Arminian plains, even Oppa and Egypt. The court astrologers in many kingdoms have studied with him, and I have followed him to practice astrologer since I was a child. How dare you question my abilities!" Unexpectedly, this sentence angered Raldam, who seemed to be outraged, and he said angrily.

"..." Tiemur was the most beloved prince of the Khan of the Yuan Dynasty. No one dared to confront him in person. But the boy in front of him dared to yell at him, which made him at a loss for a moment and stood there on the spot.

"The art of astrology studies the relationship between human behavior and planetary movements, and speculates future development trends from mutual reflection. To predict a person's fortune, the most important thing is to know the specific birth time and place of birth. Only then can astrologers draw the customer's personal birth chart based on them. Through the art chart, calculate the life of this person, see the meaning of his life and the main challenges he faces." Raldam said unwillingly, "And those who dare to say that they can predict the success or failure of a certain thing are all pseudo-arts, and are liars who cheat people of money and please the monarchs, and are shameless for our real astrologers!"
