Chapter 0149 - To be a prince or not

"Long live my king, long live, long live!"

Returning to Yecheng again, returning to Jianzhang Palace again, and accepting the worship of the ministers in the Chongzheng Palace again, Shi Hu couldn't help but be excited for a while, he was dressed in a crown robe, and with a wave of his hand, he sat on the dragon chair with a wave of his hand.

"Flat!"

"King Xie!" After the ministers shouted in the mountain, they all got up and stood up.

Shi Hu said solemnly: "Zhuqing, this time I can return to Yecheng, quell the rebellion, and sweep away the murderers, everyone has made great contributions!" The Shixuan Rebellion lasted for a year, and the danger was dangerous. Shi Min, Li Nong, Pu Hong, Yao Yi Zhongru, etc. are all great, and I want to reward you well! ”

"Li Nong!"

"The minister is here!"

"I named you the Duke of Shanyang, worshiped the hussar general, ate 8,000 households, gave 1,000 silk horses, and rewarded 5,000 taels of silver!"

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Li Nong hurriedly thanked him.

Zhao Guo still used the "three princes and nine secretaries system" since the Qin and Han dynasties, and in terms of generals, there were generals, hussar generals, chariot generals, Wei generals, former generals, rear generals, left generals, and right generals.

The Great General (Da Sima) is on the Three Princes, and the Hussar General, the Che Cavalry General, and the Wei General are under the Three Princes.

The front, rear, left and right generals are under Jiuqing and are not often placed.

In addition, it seems that Pu Hong, Yao Yizhong and others are local warlords, and they are awarded the title of miscellaneous generals, and their status is not low.

Shi Hu said again: "Pu Hong! ”

"The minister is here!"

"I named you the prince of Qinghe County, worshiped the former general, ate 5,000 households, gave 1,000 silk and satin, and rewarded 5,000 taels of silver!"

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Pu Hong knelt down and looked grateful.

To be named a county prince and increase the number of food estates by thousands of households, Pu Hong is already satisfied.

"Yao Yizhong!"

"The minister is here!"

"I named you the prince of Hengshan County, worship the general, eat 5,000 households, give 1,000 silk and satin, and reward 5,000 taels of silver!"

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

Next, Shi Hu rewarded Shi Yi, Shi Bin, Shi Jian, Shi Zun, Liang Li, Ma Qiu, Liu Xian, Wang Fudu and other generals one by one. Sons like Shi Bin and Shi Jian, Shi Hu rewarded them with wealth and food, and added a general title, while Ma Qiu and Liang Li, the original rebel generals, were all named pavilion marquis, with 1,000 households, and a lot of silk and money rewarded.

And local princes with less power such as Liu Xian and Wang Fudu, Shi Hu just sealed a marquis, increased food, and rewarded gold and silver treasures.

For the twenty-one princes of the alliance, the generals and sons of the court, Shi Hu rewarded them one by one, and as for the remaining nobodies, there will naturally be these generals to reward them.

This reward for meritorious deeds finally came to Shi Min's head.

Everyone is speculating in their hearts, how will Shi Hu reward Shi Min?

Shi Min is now the great Sima of the Great Zhao State, the governor of the internal and external armies, and the prince of Changshan County, and the governor of the internal and external armies is the position of the war, which may be revoked at any time, but this great Sima is already the head of the generals, and the position and the ministers, for the position Shi Hu has no seal on Shi Min.

What about knighthoods? It's okay, after all, Shi Min is only the prince of Changshan County now, and if he goes further, he can also be named the prince of the country.

Shi Hu showed a weird smile and said, "Metropolitan Governor Shi Min, should be the first to take the lead." Shi Min listens to the seal! ”

Shi Min immediately came out of the queue and shouted, "The minister is here!" ”

"You are my adoptive grandson, and I have always treated you as my own. Thorn slave, you have lived up to my expectations of you, and I have not mistaken you, you are the well-deserved god of war of my Great Zhao Kingdom, and you are my blessed general! You are the peerless god of war that God has given me and given me the Great Zhao Kingdom! ”

Shi Hu said solemnly: "Thorn slave, I will fulfill the promise I gave you now!" I once told you that after conquering Yecheng and quelling the rebellion, I will make you the crown prince! Now, it's time to deliver on the promise! ”

"King! Never! Shi Min fell to his knees with a look of sincere fear.

Kneeling down with him were Ran Liang, Zhao Lan, Shi Bin, Shi Zun, these ministers and Shi Hu's sons. They were all frightened by Shi Hu's words and deeds, and they couldn't help but change color.

Since ancient times, how can an emperor not pass on the position of prince to his own son, but to his adopted grandson and adopted son, who have no blood relationship with him?

Of course, the premise is that this emperor is a puppet emperor, an emperor with no real power. But Shi Hu is a real monarch with extremely high prestige, who in the country dares to act against his will?

The ministers thought about it and felt that Shi Hu was joking.

"Why not?"

Hearing the ministers, including Shi Min himself, all say "no", Shi Hu's face sank: "These sons born to me are as dull as guinea dogs (pigs and dogs), and they are not fuel-efficient lamps!" How can I rest assured that the foundation of the Great Zhao Kingdom has been handed over to them? How can we be worthy of those who shed blood and sacrificed for the founding of our Great Zhao State and the expansion of the territory? How to be worthy of the first emperor? ”

"This Shixuan rebellion has made me understand some things. The most reliable person is not my own son, but my adopted grandson, the thorn slave! Don't all of you look bitter and hateful! ”

Shi Hu's cold eyes were like poisonous snakes, and he glanced at Shi Bin, Shi Zun, Shi Jian, Shi Yi and other sons one by one. Shi Hu snorted and said, "It's better for me to raise a group of puppies!" I believe in the ability of the thorn slave, with him, the Great Zhao Kingdom is prosperous, and it is no longer an empty talk to sweep away the Jin, Liang, Cheng, Yan, Qiu Chi and other countries! If you ask yourselves if you can overcome the Thorn slave in power, you may as well stand up! ”

Hearing this, Shi Zun, Shi Bin and others all knelt on the ground, bowed their heads and looked at each other, not daring to speak, they were all silent.

Shi Min hurriedly said loudly: "King, the minister thinks that this matter must not be done!" ”

"Huh? Thorn slave, this crown prince, how many people dream of it, but can't ask for it? As a prince, you will be able to sit in the position I am sitting in the future and become the Ninety-Five Supreme! Become the master of my Great Zhao Kingdom! ”

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness, but the minister really deserves it!"

"Why, you say?" Shi Hu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Although the position of the prince is noble and prominent, it is not done by ministers." Shi Min lowered his head and said, "The minister is your adoptive grandson of the king, and he will be your adoptive grandson for the rest of his life!" However, an adopted grandson is an adopted grandson after all, and he is not as good as a son who is connected by blood. ”

"These are all prevarications! Excuse! ”

Shi Hu said impatiently: "I am true to my word, what I have said cannot be taken back like water. Since I promised you then, I will keep it! ”

Shi Hu seems to insist on making Shi Min the prince.

However, regardless of whether Shi Hu was sincere or false, Shi Minda couldn't accept it from the bottom of his heart.

Who in the world can refuse the temptation to become the supreme of the Ninety-Five?

No matter what medicine is sold in Shi Hu's gourd, becoming a prince is a matter of harm and no benefit for Shi Min now.

Why?

First, once Shi Min becomes the crown prince, his position will become very awkward. His every move was closely watched by the spies of various countries and forces from all sides, not to mention, like Shi Jian, Shi Bin, Shi Zun, Shi Yi, the sons of Shi Hu, must have made enemies with him, and tried every possible means to get rid of him Shi Min.

Second, for example, Shi Hu really wanted to establish Shi Min as the crown prince.

In this way, after a hundred years of Shi Hu, Shi Min will ascend the throne and inherit the foundation of the Zhao Kingdom. But in this way, it is contrary to Shi Min's original intention!

Shi Min wanted to be the founder of the revival of China, not to inherit a Hu dynasty founded by the brutal Qianren!

Not to mention that the Han people in the Central Plains will have different intentions for Shi Min, and it is difficult to accept them, that is, they forget their ancestors and recognize the thief as their father, which has already made Shi Min ashamed and ashamed.

Even if Shi Min changes his course in the future, changes his country name after Shi Hu is a hundred years later, and claims to be a Han Chinese, I am afraid that this kind of behavior will be ridiculed by the people of the world. The fact that he recognized the thief as his father and became the prince of the Zhao Kingdom will become an indelible stain on his Shi Min in his life.
