Chapter Seventy-Five: Going to Sea? North!
After the remains of the fallen soldiers who entered the customs and returned to Xianyang entered the Heroic Martyrs' Tower, Hu Hai announced in public the military merit rewards for the Battle of Julu and the Battle of the Huai River!
Wang Li awarded the title of "Loyal and Righteous Prince", Zhao Ben awarded the title of "Shao Shangzao", Wang An awarded the title of "Right Chief", He Chun awarded the title of "Left Chief", and Yang Xiong awarded the title of "Left Chief...... The rest of the generals who died in battle were all awarded knights and gold, and all the Xianyang guards were added to the fifth level of knighthood, because their military exploits could no longer be counted! All the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army will be knighted at the third level, and the knighthood will be awarded after the military merits are counted!
Except for Wang Li, if the title of "Loyal and Righteous Duke" does not have a great contribution to the country within three generations, he will be re-demoted to the title of Marquis Che, and all the other soldiers who have been awarded the title can be hereditary!
Although since the Western Zhou Dynasty, vassal states, scholars, and nobles will have "nicknames" after death, but since the unification of the First Emperor of Great Qin, the First Emperor has been suspected of "sons discussing fathers, ministers discussing kings" with nicknames, so it was directly abolished!
So Hu Hai didn't give Wang Li a nickname!
The most important thing is that Wang Li created the first precedent for Daqin, you must know that Daqin was a duke when he was a vassal state at the beginning, and now Wang Li has been awarded the title of "Loyal and Righteous Duke", and he has been waiting for the princes, although Wang Li's duke only has a false name and no fief!
Three generations of hereditary, even if the Wang family really can't make a contribution to the whole country, the Wang family is already proud enough! The first family of Daqin to be crowned a duke! Hu Hai has already increased the title of the twentieth rank of Great Qin by one level in public, duke!
Wang Li's conferral of dukes also made the rest of the people such as Li Si, Feng Quji, Zhang Han, and the Mengshi clan suddenly feel hot in their hearts, since there is the first one who can be named a duke, then there will be a second one!
And Li Si, Feng Quji, Wei Yu, Meng Tian and others, who are already Che Hou, obviously everyone has a chance!
After the knighthood and other rewards were completed, Hu Hai ordered that the remaining more than 10,000 original Xianyang guards who had returned to the customs should be directly incorporated into the "Tiger Ben Army", which was about to officially enter the Great Qin army sequence and was known as the first elite of Great Qin!
This first batch of more than 10,000 Xianyang guards who were officially identified as the "Tiger Ben Army" were immediately substituted into the Bashang battalion and began to pay close attention to the necessary training in the Bashang battalion army!
After the return of the soul, Hu Hai asked the imperial dining room to prepare for tonight's banquet, and at the same time asked Yingteng to summon all the children of the crown clan to the banquet.
As for winning one, it was not easy to seize the opportunity to report to Hu Haiyu that the five wins were an urgent report about the child!
Winyi knows the meaning of the child to the young emperor! Significance for Daqin! That's why I endured it until the end, and then secretly reported to Hu Hai when there was no one!
...... "Now that the wine has been drunk, I will say a few words to you!"
In my opinion, regardless of family background and talents, there are only two kinds of people who can achieve great things in this world, one is a fool and the other is a madman. A fool is a person who will endure hardships, and a madman is a person who will always act.
Now that I have removed the obstacles set by my father, as for how you should act in the future, whether you can succeed, you can do it yourself! I will watch you, but neither I nor the old Zongzheng will help you!
Whether it is political merit or military merit, you can only rely on yourself to fight for it! Whether it's a marquis or a duke, if one of you can make a lot of contributions, I will personally award you a knight!
In addition, if you want to join the army, the identity of the clan must be kept secret! If I know that someone is using the identity of the clan to claim political and military merits, I will be severely punished and expelled from the clan! It's time to feast! ”
After Hu Hai said these words, he didn't wait for the hundreds of sect disciples below to react, and then ordered a banquet! He has done everything he can do, and he has said what he should say, as for what these clan disciples can do in the future, whether they can occupy a place in the Great Qin Dynasty or the army as they think, it is not something he can control!
But at least one thing Hu Hai is sure of is that he doesn't need waste!
The atmosphere of the banquet was a little dull, whether it was the children of the clan who had never seen Hu Hai before or the sixteen brothers who had not seen Hu Hai for a few months, looking at this important imperial ministers who were standing high on the main hall and constantly toasting with the important ministers of the empire on the left side of the main hall, the youngest son of the invincible king, the young emperor who was said to have been awakened by the invincible king, his expression was complicated!
There is envy, there is jealousy, there is longing, there is reverence!
Hu Hai didn't care what the dozen or so cheap big brothers and many clan blood relatives under the hall were thinking, even if he knew what they were thinking, he wouldn't care.
Although he has been drinking with Li Si, Wei Yi and others in the lobby now, he has been thinking about the matter of Ziying in his heart!
Of course, he would definitely not say anything about the discovery of Ziying's traces in this hall, and it was obvious that the children of the clan and even the dozen or so cheap brothers who should have died in his hands did not seem to have a good impression of him!
What's more, although Ying Wu said that he was basically sure that it was indeed Ziying, why did Ziying go all the way to Linzi and near the coastal fortress Jimo, did he still want to go to sea to find Xu Fu? I am not afraid that a wave will overturn the small wooden boat...... Wait a minute!! Sea?!!!
Yes, go to sea!
Hu Hai was suddenly shocked when he thought of this, and went to sea! It's to go to sea!
Hu Hai felt as if he had caught something! But it always feels like there's something missing! So what's the difference?
Sitting on top of the main hall, Hu Hai's suddenly changing expression did not escape the eyes of Li Si, Feng Quji and others who had been seemingly drinking and greeting!
It seems that something happened that I didn't know existed!
Li Si and the others' expressions moved slightly, and then they continued to look at each other as if nothing had happened!
The feeling of nothingness has been lingering in Hu Hai's heart, and the whole feast has become boring! In the middle of the banquet, Hu Hai whispered a few words to Liu Bang, who was standing on the side, and in Liu Bang's shout of "Your Majesty returns to the palace", he took the lead in getting up and leaving the council hall and went straight to the study!
As soon as the emperor left, Liu Bang came down to explain a few words to Li Si and others, and then hurried to chase Hu Hai! Li Si and the others also left the table and followed closely behind Liu Bang!
The departure of Hu Hai and the ministers suddenly relieved the children of the clan who were originally cramped and nervous because of the presence of the emperor and many ministers, and the atmosphere of the entire hall suddenly became relaxed!
The children of the clan began to eat and drink while chatting about whether to be an official or enlist in the army!
The big feast that suddenly became lively is a bit like a banquet at this moment!
"I want to go north to Julu for three days, I will stay in Julu for three days, and then I will go to Jimo, a coastal fortress in the east!" Hu Hai didn't wait, and then Li Si, Feng Quji and others who came over stood firmly, and their mouths were shattered!
Looking at Li Si, Feng Quji, Wei Yi and others, who were a little stunned by their sudden words, Hu Hai continued: "I want to go to Jimo to see the imprint left by my father in the past, and I want to go to the place where my father hunted the sea monster with his own hands!" ”
Speaking of this, Hu Hai saw that Li Si and the others, who had come back to their senses, seemed to want to open their mouths to object, and waved his hand to interrupt: "I should return to Xianyang within a month, and I must have prepared the pawn prepared by the old Zongzheng by then!" You Aiqing don't need to persuade again, I have made up my mind! ”
Although Hu Haidong has only been on tour for two months, Li Si and the others have already roughly figured out the habits of this young emperor!
If the emperor did not add the words "I have made up my mind" when he said something, then everything was negotiable, but once the emperor added these four words, obviously, I am afraid that he would not be able to change his mind unless the first emperor was resurrected!
