After Xiao Yuan became king, what was the first thing he had to do, naturally he was to pay homage to the prime minister and confer meritorious service.

There were too many founding generals of the Qin State.

At the top, there are Peng Shuang, Xu Hu, Lian Xiao, etc.

In the middle, Guan Kui, Goldman Sachs, Xia Ping, these are all outstanding military exploits, in Xiao Yuan's pacification of Xirong, the recovery of Shuzhong, the attack on the four countries of Qin These battles, they have made great contributions.

And below them, there are many partial generals and captains at all levels, all of whom also have more or less combat exploits.

What's more, there are so many civil officials at all levels.

And this matter is also what all the courtiers are most concerned about at the moment.

After all, when it comes to their own future, many people have begun to play drums secretly, nervous in their hearts, for fear that their merits will not be remembered and will be pulled by a stroke.

However, their worries are all superfluous, for all the merits of the civil and military forces under his command, Xiao Yuan has his own 'account book'! Inside, I remember everything clearly!

In the palace study, Xiao Yuan was opening a box.

In the box, there are neatly folded silk books.

This is his 'account book', and in each volume of silk books, there are detailed records of the merits and demerits of a certain general or an official, in what battles, what kind of merits he made, in what things, and what kind of mistakes he made.

Xiao Yuan picked up a scroll at random, unfolded it and saw that it happened to be Liu Yuzhi's.

I saw that it was written:

"During the battle of Liucheng, mobilize the people to defend the city, when the garrison, he strongly admonished Rao to attack Yuyang, entered the capital of Qinwang, and was responsible for the dispatch of grain, grass and ordnance, many major battles, did not run out of grain roads, sat in the rear, exhausted his efforts, worried about the country and the people, revitalized agriculture, and made great contributions to the victory of the Qin army against the enemy, the political policy of Qin, and the development of Qin, and when the four countries attacked Qin, he said the strategy of the six wars......"

All these things are recorded clearly, and Liu Yuzhi's merits will not be worse than any general, although he is not on the front line, but without him, the Qin army will not be able to go on the expedition, without him, Xiao Yuan will not dare to fight like that every time!

Moreover, he has not made any mistakes, such a founding father, in fact, is very well defined, and in terms of overall merits, he should be able to rank in the top three.

Liu Yuzhi's official position is very easy to handle, after Xiao Yuan read it, he unfolded a royal edict on the table, lifted the brush and dipped it in ink, and wrote it down.

Next, he picked up a silk book and unfolded it, this time, it was Xu Hu's.

"The Battle of Beiling, break the city, kill forty-nine enemies, behead the ...... of the main general of Beiling"

"Battle of Castle Mountain, Savior, Behead Gul ......"

"The battle of Shu, the general of the war ...... howling"

"The Four Kingdoms attacked Qin, beheaded the enemy generals, broke the coalition army, and protected the ......"

Xu Hu has a lot of military exploits, and after Xiao Yuan read it, he also began to write it on the Wang Zhao.

This is a whole day.

Just as he was putting his head in sorting out these things, a faint fragrance came, accompanied by the sound of slight footsteps.

"Cher?" Xiao Yuan smelled the fragrance and knew the beauty, and he didn't need to look up, he knew who the person was.

He stopped his movements, and looked at her with a warm smile: "Why are you here?" ”

"Husband......" Gu Xue glanced at him with some distress, and then put the tea on the table, "It's been a day, you, don't be too tired......"

"It's okay, these need to be dealt with." Xiao Yuan lowered his head again, and said while sorting out his things: "Xue'er, just let the next person do these things, why bother to run it yourself." ”

Gu Xue was worried about him at the time, but seeing that he was dealing with state affairs, he was busy and worried, and he couldn't say anything.

The next day.

The entrance of the main hall of the Qin Dynasty.

Janissary guards stood on either side.

The newly built palace of the king, although not luxurious, is very magnificent.

At the entrance of the main hall, hundreds of officials gathered, discussing something in twos and threes.

Someone said: "This time the Qin State is newly established, the king will definitely confer the title of a hundred officials, I heard that they are already preparing the royal edict......

"This event is certain, but I don't know when this conferral ceremony will be held......

"Oh, this is the first major event after the king's accession to the throne, and at that time, the existing official position will definitely change......"

"Yes, everyone pays close attention to such a major event, and inquires about the news everywhere, I heard that there are several generals of the second rank alone......

"Oh? Is this serious? Who do you listen to? An official hurriedly asked.

"This, hearsay, hearsay, don't take it seriously, hehe......"

At this moment, there was a burst of hearty laughter from the steps outside the hall, and then, Xia Ping, wearing armor, ran up quickly, huddled with the ministers, and said with a big grin:

"Haha! Did you hear that? The king will hold a ceremony three days later, and at that time, with the general's military exploits, he will inevitably be given a knighthood! The prince is a man, not to mention the position of an earl! ”

He was full of confidence and felt that his combat achievements were extremely high, and when he spoke, his voice was loud, and there was obvious arrogance in his tone, and the surrounding civil and military ministers couldn't help but look at him.

Shangguan Wenruo shook his head secretly.

Qin General Guan Kui hugged his fist towards Xia Ping, and said with the same smile: "The general has such confidence, so he expected that the king would grant you the title of earl?" ”

"Of course!" Xia Ping shook his head and said without hesitation: "With my combat exploits, it should be so!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Guan Kui again and said, "What?" Is General Guan going to compare his military exploits? ”

"No, no, no, I don't mean that, general, don't get me wrong." Guan Kui hurriedly shook his hand.

How do you know that Xia Ping didn't pay attention to it at all, and immediately said: "Although General Guan also has military exploits, when he fought Xirong, although you were also ordered to garrison Xiping Pass, but at that time, Xirong was already defeated, surrounded and suppressed by the main force of our army, and in Xiping Pass, our army's strength is better than that of Xirong, so it cannot be compared with the battle of Ningyang." ”

Without waiting for Guan Kui to say anything, he followed closely and said: "In the battle of Ningyang, this general has the order of the king, and he would rather die than take a step back!" In the end, with 30,000 soldiers, he killed 100,000 Wu troops alive! Make Ningyang solid! If it weren't for me, Wu Jun would have entered the customs a long time ago! Who can compare with such a record!? ”

Before the award, he compared his military exploits with other generals at every turn, and always talked about the battle of Ningyang, and at the same time arrogantly said that his military exploits must be the earl.

His behavior is no longer just pride.

Fortunately, this matter did not reach Xiao Yuan's ears, and the latter did not know about it, and was still busy in the study.

At this time, Xu Hu walked over quickly, and then said loudly:

"The king's dictation, today, the official position has not been decided, it is not appropriate to discuss politics, after the award, the court will be discussed, and you will step down by yourself......"

He was the king's guard, and he preached the king's message, and when all the ministers heard it, they also said in unison:

"The ministers obey the king's command—"
