"Special meow, is this the rhythm of getting cheap and selling well?"

After the players were amazed, they all couldn't help but think so, after all, Qin Xiaobai had often done this kind of thing before......

Empress Dowager He was also stunned, and thought that Qin Xiaobai was showing modesty and wanted to resign.

In ancient times, whether it was enthroned as an emperor, or crowned as a king or a duke, according to the convention, it was necessary to repeatedly shirk and express modesty.

However, Qin Xiaobai immediately extinguished this conjecture of the Empress Dowager He, saying that he was sincerely opposed to Feng Gong.

This made everyone in the court couldn't help but be amazed, joking This is Feng Gong, Qin Xiaobai picked up this big bargain for nothing, and he didn't want to ......

"Guangwu Hou Gao Feng Liang Festival, we admire it."

Seeing this scene, many important ministers of the Han family expressed their appreciation for Qin Xiaobai, believing that Qin Xiaobai's refusal to be crowned was a manifestation of high wind and brightness, and their good impression of Qin Xiaobai greatly increased.

And Yuan Shao, Ding Yuan, Rampant World, Lin Nantian, Chu Yangge, etc., the rest of the players and civil and military officials all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

If Qin Xiaobai is really crowned, it will inevitably be above the hundred officials, although they may not necessarily be hostile to Qin Xiaobai, but the power of others has skyrocketed, and they will always feel threatened in their hearts, so they will be relieved.

……

Qin Xiaobai still looked calm, the reason why he tried his best to get Dong Zhuo to agree, but he opposed the matter of sealing the duke, was because Shangguan Wan'er suggested a plan for him to retreat into advance.

When Qin Xiaobai heard about this plan, he asked at the time: "Since Dong Zhuo agrees in the end, the duke will naturally be his, do you still need to retreat as advance?" If you retreat, the great duke will be gone. ”

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head with a light smile and said: "If things go to a certain point, it is true that they can be crowned dukes, but if they are so forcibly crowned, they will inevitably be secretly envied by hundreds of civil and military officials."

What's more, if you make a duke. If this precedent is opened, then when the heroes rise together in the future, the dukes of the world will inevitably flood like the king of the river, and at that time, how much role can you, the duke, show? ”

Qin Xiaobai couldn't help but nod his head when he heard Wan'er's words, this is indeed the case, you must know that in the Han Dynasty, except for relatives, only those with extremely prosperous military achievements can be crowned marquis, and it is difficult to be crowned marquis if you don't see Li Guang's outstanding military achievements.

And at the end of the Han Dynasty, the marquis basically began to rot the streets, and anyone with a little military exploits could be made a marquis. And in the Three Kingdoms period, there were even more marquises, and those who could be counted were basically made marquises.

Shangguan Wan'er saw that Qin Xiaobai quickly understood, and then spoke again: "It's better to retreat and resign as a duke, when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty recommended you as a duke, but you resigned, the world will recite it, then even if there is no duke, there must be the name of the duke." ”

"The reigning king!"

Qin Xiaobai's eyes lit up. The word immediately came to mind, to be precise, he should be regarded as the defending duke.

The benefits of being a feudal prince are nothing more than three points, inheritance, food and fame.

The Eastern Han Dynasty is about to fall, and Qin Xiaobai naturally will not want to inherit it. to pass on a title to future generations or something.

And Qin Xiaobai really wants it, you must know that if he is made a duke, then there will be fewer counties and more than one county, according to the Empress Dowager He's efforts to woo him. More likely the latter.

However, now that he has the treasure of the permanent servant and the looted treasury, he is not short of small money for the time being, so he can also put down the food and money.

Finally, there is fame. If you become the defending duke, then fame is not an issue, maybe even higher.

The most important thing is that Qin Xiaobai is not a duke, and if he does not set this precedent, it is impossible for others to be crowned dukes, at least during the period of competition between the heroes.

You must know that when Cao Cao was in the past, it was extremely difficult to unify the north and want to seal the Duke of Wei, and he was opposed by countless people, and even forced his chief minister Xun Yu to death.

In this way, then no one in the world can surpass Qin Xiaobai, the defending duke, in the title.

Moreover, even if Qin Xiaobai resigns from the position of duke, the court will inevitably have another reward.

And even if the reward is not as good as the duke's position, it will definitely not be much weaker, after all, Qin Xiaobai's credit is there.

When the time comes, not only will he be the defending duke, but he will also have the reward of a not weak duke, there is simply nothing more than killing two birds with one stone.

So Qin Xiaobai naturally immediately followed the advice and adopted Shangguan Wan'er's suggestion.

……

Sure enough, seeing that Qin Xiaobai was determined to resign as duke, Empress Dowager He had no choice but to accept it and draw up a reward for Qin Xiaobai again.

It's just that this reward is not easy to formulate, and the title obviously can't be sealed anymore.

And the civil service is limited by prestige, Qin Xiaobai's Northern Saidu Protector is the capital protector, and the original position is too guarded than the fifth grade, but after He Jin's previous promotion and reward, it has been mentioned that it is at the same level as the third grade assassin history, and it is difficult to improve.

The only thing left to be rewarded is the martial arts.

Now Qin Xiaobai is the general of Zhenbei, which belongs to the list of the four towns, and if he is further upgraded, he will be the general of the four expeditions.

"The four levies and four towns are all from the same product, although the name is high, in fact, there is little difference."

Empress Dowager He was obviously dissatisfied with this reward, and shook her head.

"That Guangwu Marquis can be the four generals of the front and back, left and right." Situ Wang Yun came out and proposed.

When the important ministers of the court heard this, they all nodded, and the four generals on the left and right were more than Jiuqing, and Qin Xiaobai's merits were enough to take responsibility.

Empress Dowager He didn't think it was big enough, so she asked: "After the death of the elder brother of the mourning family, can the position of the general be vacated?" ”

"Whoa......

The officials were surprised, and Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, and Yuan Shao were even more inflamed.

Just kidding, this is a general who is above the Three Princes, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and a real power faction above 10,000 people under one person.

Even in terms of actual authority, it may be higher than the position of duke, which makes them how unmoved.

Now listening to Empress Dowager He's meaning, it seems that she wants to crown Qin Xiaobai as a general, which makes their fiery eyes focus on Qin Xiaobai.

"The general's bones are not cold, and there is no one to be in his vacant position." And Qin Xiaobai spoke up again at this time.

He was very happy that Empress Dowager He trusted him so much, but Empress Dowager He was too political, and the position of general could not be rewarded casually, not to mention that it was when Dong Zhuo was in charge of the government.

If he really accepts it at this time, the reward of the most powerful official position in the Eastern Han Dynasty, not to mention the civil and military officials, I am afraid that even Dong Zhuo, who is bent on dividing the state group and winning him over, will not be able to tolerate it.

There will inevitably be countless people who will jump out to oppose it, and when the time comes, the position of the general will not be successful, but he will become the target of public criticism.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager He has no political cells, but people are not stupid, hearing Qin Xiaobai's words, she also realized this, although she really wanted to give Qin Xiaobai real power as soon as possible, but now she is obviously in a hurry.

So the Empress Dowager He took a compromise and said: "What Aiqing said is extremely true, since no one can take the position of general, then how about the mourning family to replace Your Majesty and make Aiqing a hussar general?" (To be continued......)
