Volume 18 The Rise of the Empire Chapter 3 The Great Heroes
One day at the end of 120 BC.
In the council hall of the Salary Year Palace, hundreds of officials are prosperous, civil and military gathered, everyone has new clothes and crowns, and they are talking to each other in a joyful whisper!
Suddenly, a sharp voice came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty - down - drive - arrive!" All the civil and military hurriedly bowed down: "Ministers welcome Your Majesty!"
In the cheers, Fusu, who was also in high spirits and selling his spirits today, stepped into the palace gate, looked left and right, and then walked through the long imperial road, went straight up the steps of His Majesty, and ascended to the throne!
"Everyone, get up!" Fusu smiled slightly. "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The courtiers thanked each other, got up and sat back!
Looking at the eager eyes of the courtiers looking at him, Fusu smiled secretly in his heart: "Since the announcement of the two policies of reducing military power and removing food yip, although the courtiers basically have no objection to the removal of food and the change of food and Lu, but some generals dare not say anything about breaking up their old departments and re-streamlining and reorganizing, but they are still very unhappy secretly, but there is a way, just give a sweet date to eat!" smiled and said: "Generals, since the world has been decided, it is reasonable to talk about meritorious deeds, but these days, the Union has been busy with state affairs, so it has been a little delayed, so it has not been officially implemented until today, don't blame you!"
"Don't dare!" All the civil and military hurriedly expressed their loyalty!
Fu Su smiled and said: "In this way, my Great Qin will establish the country with martial arts, and the alliance will first announce the reward for the generals!" After consideration, the Lian felt that the regulations on titles and positions in the Great Qin Army in the past were quite vague, which made ordinary people confused, so the Lian decided to abandon the former system of integrating the army and the knights, and in the future, there will be no military affairs, only marquis, jun and other lords, and in the future, the army will only talk about positions, not titles. No matter how high your title is, in the army you must obey the command of high-ranking generals, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law! However, after the title and position are separated, the generals can not only get the title, but also have a military position. You can also get a piece of the army, and the union will not treat you badly!
In the past, my Daqin had eight positions in the army, such as the left lieutenant, the right lieutenant, the lieutenant, the second lieutenant, the salesman, the upper building, and the public sergeant, and now it has been changed from the commander to the military rank of captain, captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant, non-commissioned officer, sergeant, sergeant, corporal, etc., so simple and clear, it is easy for the sergeants to memorize it! The other federation decided to set up fourth-class general posts above the rank of captain: major general, lieutenant general, general, and general, and set up a generalissimo to command all the Qin troops in the world. These four rank generals are all held by the generals of the DPRK and China, but the post of generalissimo will be held by Lian himself to show that Lian is the supreme commander of the Great Qin army. The specific matters will be arranged and implemented by the Taiwei Mansion! Do you have any objections?"
Only the madman dared to have objections, and Zhong Wenwu hurriedly said: "The minister has no objection!"
Fusu smiled and nodded. Xiang Fu asked for the edict and said with a smile: "In the previous year, in the process of going to the city to change Lu, the titles and titles of the princes have been adjusted, and the titles and titles obtained have also been regulated.
appointed Hou Xinzhe of Beidi as a major general, with a military salary of 2,500 stones; appointed Wuyang Hou Yinghe as a major general, with a military salary of 2,500 stones; appointed Quzhou Hou Lishang as a major general, with a military salary of 2,500 stones; appointed Guan Ying, Guan Yong, Guan Xin, Guan Yi, and Guan De as major generals, with a military salary of 2,500 stones; Appointed the fearless Hou Weiyuan as a major general. 2,000 stone for the army, and appointed Qin Hu, the protector of the country, as a major general, and 2,500 stone for the army; Hou Fangtuo of the Chinese army was appointed as a major general. 2,500 stone for the army; appointed Sima Yue, the marquis of the broken army, as a major general, with a military salary of 2,500 stones; Jiang Huai, Marquis of Wuyong, was appointed as a major general. 2,500 stone for the army; appointed Yiyang Hou Yingqiang as a major general, with a military salary of 2,500 stones; Appoint...... For Major Generals...... So a total of thirty-six major generals!

After reading out, Fusu looked at the generals, and the generals basically thought that this reward was still fair, and now the official title has been decided, and they are all happy!
Fusu took over the appointment of civil and military again, and said with a smile: "The following is the civil official, the same in the future, the court will only talk about the official position, not the title, no matter how high your title is, but all the departments and offices where you are must obey the orders of high-ranking officials, the title is just an honor, and it will no longer be a power in the future!" I hope you will remember!
Now appoint Shu Marquis Fan Tianshi as the left prime minister, with a rank ratio of 5,000 stones; appoint the righteous Hou Xiao He as the right successor, and the rank ratio is 5,000 stones; appointed Zhang Liang, Marquis of Yingchuan, as a lieutenant, with a rank ratio of 4,000 stones; appoint the whole field candidate as the imperial historian, with a rank ratio of 4,000 stones; appointed Fan Yang Hou Kuaitong as the court lieutenant, with a rank ratio of 3,000 stones; Appointed Gaoyang Hou Li Shiqi as a pawn, with a rank ratio of 3,000 stones. The rest of the civil servants are still performing their duties, and they must not be neglected!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!" All the civil and military people got the ideal position, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they fell down together, and the mountain shouted long live!
For a while, all the civil and military clubs were jubilant, and the original aggrieved atmosphere was really swept away!
Fusu was proud in his heart, and said: "Generals, there are still a few important things to discuss today. The first thing is that the United intends to build a Chinese Heroes Hall to enshrine the most prominent ministers of the country since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, so that all the people can admire them. The specific number of people is tentatively set at 12 members of each of the civil and military forces, and today it is planned that eight members of each of the civil and military forces will be selected, and the rest of the gaps will be filled by later meritorious officials. Now I will ask you to discuss the candidates, and report quickly!"
The civil and military forces were overjoyed when they heard this, which is a great thing. Who doesn't want to, but it's not good to recommend themselves, they can only hope that others will recommend themselves, and His Majesty has a green eye. In the midst of the itching of the ministers, Xiao He came out and said, "Your Majesty, is the previous dynasty also counted?" Fusu nodded and said: "Of course, there were also many civil and military generals in the previous dynasty who made a lot of great contributions to the country!"
Xiao He thought for a while and said: "The minister will elect a few people, there are three generals: Bai Qi, Wang Qian, and Wang Ben, and the three of them have made great achievements in the world, so they should be honored; Wenchen. The ministers elected Zhang Yi and Fan Diao, and the two of them made friends from afar and attacked closely, and wrestled vertically and horizontally, laying the foundation of my Great Qin's immortal hegemony, and they should also have this qualification!"
Hearing this, Fusu laughed and said: "What Prime Minister Cheng said is reasonable, and Lian also likes these people!" Okay, just follow what Qing said!"
Wang Li was overjoyed, and felt a sense of light on his face, and for a while he thought in his heart that he would make more military exploits in the future, if he could have three generations of ancestors, fathers, and grandchildren in the same heroic hall, it would really be a good story of the past and the present!
When Zhongwen Wu heard this, he panicked: "Xiao Chengxiang is too inauthentic. I've only fished out five of this one, so I'll keep some for us!" At that moment, someone came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended three military generals." That's General Han, General Meng, and General Li! The three of them have achieved great success. The prestige is very high, and you can enjoy this honor!"
Fu Su smiled when he heard this: "What Qing said is very good, quasi-play!" Han Xin, Meng Tian, and Li Xin immediately smiled crookedly, stealing fun underneath.
Zhang Liang thought about it. He also said: "Your Majesty, Xiao and Fan, the two prime ministers, sit in the rear and make great contributions to my Great Qin campaign, and they are really models for civil servants." You can't help but choose!"
Although Xiao He and Fan Tianshi were happy in their hearts, they came out and said: "The ministers are afraid, I'm afraid they are not competent!" Fu Su smiled: "The two Qings are very meritorious, why not, the words of the quasi-ovary!"
Xiao He is a smart person, and hurriedly reciprocated Li Dao: "Your Majesty, Zhang Zifang followed His Majesty to fight in the south and the north, strategized strategically, and made countless meritorious contributions, so he deserves this honor!" Zhang Liang hurriedly said: "How can you deserve it!" Fusu said with a smile: "The work of the ovary, Lian knows it in his heart, it is enough to be honored, and it is also allowed to inherit the words of the prime minister!"
When the civil and military heard this, the eight generals went to six, and the eight civil servants went to five, and there were not many opportunities, so they were busy looking at relatives and friends, hoping that someone would sponsor them.
At that moment, Shi Lu remembered Ren Huan, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Nanhai Lieutenant Ren Huan helped His Majesty unify Southern Xinjiang, and he has made outstanding achievements, and he can also be ranked among the famous generals, please allow Your Majesty!" Hmmm——!" Fusu thought about it for a while and said: "Yes, Ren Huan helped the Union to expand the land for thousands of miles, and it does have immortal merits, and it will be played!"
As soon as the military ministers saw that there was only one quota left, some people were anxious at the moment, so they saw the baby and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also recommended two people, as Yingbu and Qiang Kui, and the two of them are also outstanding in their achievements, so they must also deserve this honor!" Fusu thought about it for a moment and didn't speak for a while.
But someone objected: "No, the seven generals who were selected are all figures who have made outstanding military exploits for my Great Qin and expanded the land for thousands of miles, although the British generals and Qiang generals have many military exploits, they are obviously deficient compared to these seven people, so the minister thinks it is impossible!" Fusu looks at it, but it is Meng Yi!
"Then who does Meng Yi think deserves the last place for this general?" Fusu said with a smile. Meng Yi thought for a while and said, "The minister thinks that General Sima Cuo deserves this honor. He is the most outstanding general of our country before the confession, under his command our Qin army conquered the city and conquered everything, and more importantly, under his persistence and command, the important grain and weapons production area of our country Bashu was in the bag, laying the foundation for our Qin country to dominate the world, how can such an important minister not be among the heroes!"
At the moment, Sima Xin and Sima Yue were overjoyed when they heard this, they were not qualified, and it was a good thing that their ancestors were qualified. Hearing this, Fusu nodded and said, "Yes, General Sima Cuo can indeed deserve this honor, so it's decided!"
Yingbu and Qiang Kui were a little disappointed and grinned, but they knew that their credit was not enough, so they had to secretly calculate the four vacancies in the remaining land, of course, there were not a few people who had this mentality.
Fu Su said with a smile: "Now that the eight generals have been decided, Wenchen still has three vacancies, can the ministers elect them again?"
Fan Tianshi heard this: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended two people, as the former imperial lieutenant and lieutenant, as well as the prime minister Wang Xuan, he two of them are the main internal affairs and the other are the main military, helping the first emperor to dominate the world and create an unprecedented foundation.
"Well——, Fu Su thought for a while and said, "What Fan Xiang said is very good. The lieutenants are calm and resourceful, and Wang Juan is old and serious, all of them have made great contributions to the country, and they have played together! There is still a place, who do you recommend?"
At that moment, someone came out and said: "Your Majesty, the former imperial court captain Feng Zheng is loyal and conscientious, and he deserves this honor!" It seems that although Feng Zao and others have retired, they still have certain connections in the court.
Who knew that the voice just fell. But some people were not convinced: "No, although Lord Feng is loyal and commendable, he has not many merits, how can he compare with the important ministers of the previous seven countries, the ministers think it is inappropriate!" Fusu looks at it, but it is an upright Li Shiqi!
Feng Ru was furious when he heard this, and glared at Li Shiqi fiercely, but Li Shiqi didn't see it. Fu Su smiled: "Then who does Li Qing think can take responsibility?" Although Li Shiqi was arrogant, he didn't think he was qualified, scratched his head and said, "It seems that it is more difficult to choose." Although Shang and Lü Buwei of the previous dynasty had great achievements, they were killed by the first emperor for the crime of rebellion, which was different from the death of General Bai Qi, who was unwilling to fight a battle that was bound to be lost. Therefore, it is not advisable to be selected; The twelve Ganluo are phases. But it was short-lived, so the minister couldn't think of a suitable candidate for a while!"
Fusu smiled: "Then who is Zhu Qing suitable?" The civil and military forces listened to Fusu's meaning. It seems that he is not too satisfied with Feng Zheng, and suddenly because of the difficulty, the Qin State is heavy on martial arts, and there are many outstanding generals. But Wenchen is less outstanding, frowning and thinking about it for a while, but he can't think of anyone!
Suddenly, Fusu said: "Lian recommends one person." Zhu Qing consulted for a moment. That's Lieutenant General Shi Lu, I don't know what Zhu Qing thinks?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and stayed in the local area for a while, Shi Lu himself was also wooden, but he didn't expect Fusu to value himself so much!
Soon, the courtiers reacted, although Ping Suduo and Shi Lu were good friends, but seeing that Shi Lu wanted to win this honor, he was very little convinced, so he said: "Your Majesty, what great merit does General Shi have to win this honor, and be ranked with the civil and military sages of our country for hundreds of years?" All the courtiers seconded the proposal, and Shi Ludi's face was a little embarrassed for a while!
Hearing this, Fusu laughed and said: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, and listen to Lian's words!" General Meng Tian pacified the northern frontier and drove the Huns thousands of miles away, what is the land? Straight! What is the pivot button to protect the safety of the Great Wall and protect the national capital Xianyang? Straight!
Lian pacified southern Xinjiang, but encountered a major problem of lack of grain and grass, what finally solved the problem of Lian? Lingqu! If the Central Plains wants to contact Lingnan and assimilate it, what is the land? Lingqu!
Zhu Qing think about it, with these two engineering miracles that can shine in the annals of history, is General Shi qualified to be listed for this honor?"
The Yaque in the hall was silent, all in thought, and suddenly someone said: "Your Majesty, isn't General Shi a military officer, how can he be ranked among the civil ministers?" There are still people who are not convinced and want to squeeze Shi Lu out!
Fusu said with a smile: "General Shi was a civil minister at the beginning, but later he went to southern Xinjiang with the alliance, and he was barely a military general, and now he is in charge of the general as a young man, and he is also a civil servant, which is a special case!" Hearing Fusu say this, all the civil and military forces had nothing to say.
Seeing that the ministers were silent, Fusu nodded and said, "Okay, then Shi Lu will take the last seat of Wenchen!"
Shi Lu sobbed when he heard this: "Your Majesty is very loving, and the ministers and ministers have nothing to repay!" Shi Lu never dreamed that this great honor would fall from the sky and hit his head!
Fu Su said with a smile: "Shi Qing, hurry up, they are all people in the Hall of Heroes, crying in the court, won't it break the image of heroes!" When Shi Lu heard this, he quickly wiped his tears and stood up! On the side, Qiang Kui, Zhao Tuo and the others said softly: "Hey, old history, you kid is really lucky, where are you going to drink tonight!" Shi Lu was a little unaware of the east, west, north and south, but nodded and said, "Okay, good!"
Fu Su looked amused, straightened his face and said: "Since the candidates for the Eight Martial Arts and Eight Scholars of the Hall of Heroes have been decided, then let's decide!" Those who are not selected don't have to be discouraged, but isn't it civil and military, and there are still four vacancies waiting for each of them? As long as you work hard in the future, you still have a chance!" The person who was not selected was stunned for a moment, and the blue light in his eyes flashed, and he was eager to do so!
Fusu saw it clearly, and snickered: "I pulled all of you important ministers to the Hall of Heroes to be heroes, and you were worshiped by everyone, you will always be embarrassed to rebel or go against Lian in the future!" If you use the remaining quota to fish for the appetite of most ministers, I am afraid that you will not do your best for the joint work!" After calculating, Fusu said with a smile: "In addition, the United is determined to convene a group of Confucianism, Taoism, Mo, Law, Vertical and Horizontal, Bing, and the six major academic sects to discuss the specific strategy of governing the country in the future." If you have a suitable candidate, you will report to Xiao He Chengxiang, and then Xiao Qing will consult the opinions of the people extensively and report the list to the union! By the way, Xiao Qing doesn't have to worry about the Mo family's affairs, and he will arrange the land himself!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xiao He nodded.
And the courtiers in the palace also had their own reactions when they heard this, knowing that this was a good day for the various factions to get ahead, they immediately thought about it!
Fusu was already tired, waved his hand and said, "Today's business is over, let's retreat!"
The ministers hurriedly bowed down: "The ministers send your majesty!" Fusu left his seat and left surrounded by the guards.
In the hall, a group of civil and military officers who were friendly with Shi Lu suddenly surrounded him, pulled Shi Lu out, and extorted the bamboo! And Han Xin and other figures in the Hall of Heroes were also happy, and they each congratulated and invited their cronies to celebrate!
