King Chu Huai laughed heartily, his fat face full of relief.
My beloved nephew was taught by me! Now that you have made such a great contribution to the country, my teachings at the beginning are not in vain!
King Huai of Chu laughed loudly and stretched out his hand to help Xiong Wuliang up. He looked around and said with a smile, "I have Marquis Quyang, who is better than a million soldiers!"
At this moment, King Chu Huai felt that he was at the peak of his life!
The state of Qi existed in name only, and the state of Qin bowed its head and surrendered.
These two superpowers either collapsed or bowed their heads under the military might of Chu... Today, the Chu State has become truly the most powerful country in the world!
I would like to ask, among all the countries in the world, who dares to despise me, the great Chu?
In the hands of a few people, the Chu State has expanded its territory thousands of miles, swallowed up several countries, and swept across the world without any rivals! It has developed to its peak!
Not only has it achieved successive victories on the battlefield, but it has also enjoyed unprecedented prosperity economically and politically!
Merchants from all over the world are desperately trying to strengthen trade with the powerful Chu State.
And Chu State also has quite a few allies! The political situation is great!
Not to mention anything else - Qin became a nominal ally of Chu after the Second Danyang War; Wei and South Korea also took the initiative to show their goodwill to Chu in order to resist the threat of Qin.
The newly rising Yan State has been strengthening its relations with the Chu State; as for the small Yue State, not to mention it is a vassal state of the Chu State!
Such is the merit of civil and martial arts!
King Huai of Chu asked himself that he was no worse than any previous king of Chu!
Afterwards, King Chu Huai personally took Xiong Wuliang's hand and led the ministers into the palace amidst the cheers of the crowd!
The Chinese outside were still cheering excitedly: "Long live the king!"
"Long live Dachu!"
"Wan Sheng! Quyang Hou Wan Sheng!"
"Da Sima Wansheng!"
…
King Huai of Chu sat on the throne, his face rosy and full of energy: "Quyang Hou defeated Qin in winter, drove thousands of miles, forced Qin to cede territory for peace... He is really the God of War!"
"Now that Qi is at peace and Qin's shame has been wiped out... the great Chu of the few is now invincible in the world!"
All the ministers bowed and said: "The great king's mighty power covers the whole world. I congratulate the great king! Congratulations to the great Chu!"
King Huai of Chu laughed loudly like a loud bell.
Defeating Qin was regarded as fulfilling King Huai of Chu's wish.
No matter how many opinions the ministers have against Xiong Wuliang, they have to keep it in their hearts at this moment - if they offend Marquis Quyang at this time, they will offend King Huai of Chu!
As for the people who have offended King Huai of Chu... Although our king has always been soft-tempered, and when he is in a good mood, he will generally not argue with his ministers about verbal friction, but no one is willing to take this risk.
King Huai of Chu looked at Xiong Wuliang and waved his hand: "Xiong Liang, you are worthy of being the son of Xiong Wei!"
"I will reward you heavily!"
Xiong Wuliang immediately raised his ears in anticipation!
If you say that we have made outstanding achievements in this battle of revenge, we deserve a severe reward, right?
Excited heart! Trembling hands!
But King Huai of Chu thought about it and seemed to be in trouble...
…
A sneer flashed across Zhaoju's lips, standing in the shadows.
King Chu Huai's sudden silence was not beyond his expectation.
Damn it, Mi Liang'er has made great contributions and must be rewarded - but the problem is that this guy has no reward at all!
In terms of title, Marquis Quyang was the first military marquis awarded after the founding of the Chu Kingdom. It was already a top title - the next higher title would be a duke, which would be outrageous!
When it comes to official positions - the position of Grand Sima is equal to that of Ling Yin, which is the ultimate level of human ministers.
Speaking of fiefdoms, Xiong Wuliang already owns fiefdoms in four counties: [Quyang], [Ping'a], [Shansang], and [Zhongli], covering an area of hundreds of miles. It can be regarded as a small and medium-sized vassal state!
Talking about money and treasures... No matter how much money and treasures there are, it seems that it can't commend Xiong Wuliang for such a great contribution... Besides, Xiong Wuliang's fiefdom is said to be very wealthy, so he should not be short of money.
There is no reward!
Zhaoju secretly squinted his eyes, admiring King Chu Huai's entanglement in the dark, and the malice in his heart kept surging.
Those who reward unrewarded meritorious deeds usually end badly!
If you reward me again, I won’t lose my tail!
If you don’t reward it, you won’t be able to convince the public! It will also affect the close relationship between King Chu and Mi Liang!
…
King Huai of Chu hesitated for a moment, looked at Xiong Wuliang, and asked, "Wuliang, tell me, what reward do you want?"
Xiong Wuliang was speechless for a while.
Our uncle is still so indecisive.
You can reward me as you please - give me money and land, I will happily accept them.
You asked me to make my own request, what kind of words is that!
How greedy I look!
Our status is no longer low now. We are no longer the young boy we were back then. We are now regarded as high-ranking ministers. We must have some shame!
How vulgar it is to directly ask for money or land...
Xiong Wuliang was thinking and blurted out without thinking: "Your Majesty, either reward me with some money or some land! I am not picky about food!"
King Chu Huai was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter!
Any doubts that had arisen in my mind were completely swept away!
There have been rumors in Yingdu that Qu Yanghou has outstanding achievements and may have disobedient intentions in the future. King Chu Huai also heard such a statement. In addition to furiously ordering a thorough investigation of the rumors, King Chu Huai couldn't help but also murmured in his heart.
Although my nephew has never had great ambitions... But people can change... After these few great battles, even my wise and self-sacrificing Mi Huai asked herself a little. Is that my nephew Mi Liang? Not floating?
But now, Xiong Wuliang's performance as a money fan has completely relieved King Chu Huai!
King Huai of Chu cheerfully put on a preaching look like that of an elder: "Wu Liang, you are now also an important minister of my great state of Chu. You must not look so lazy outside."
"A gentleman talks about what is right but not what is beneficial. Do you understand?"
Zhaoju watched from the side, feeling so angry that he was smoking!
Grandma, is this bastard Xiong Wuliang a calculated person or a coincidence?
In the space of two or three sentences, all the little results achieved after such a long period of hard work disappeared!
…
King Huai of Chu thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Wu Liang, you have made great achievements many times. How can I reward you? It's really difficult."
"I will give you something for your personal use!" King Huai of Chu raised his head and laughed!
In front of the shocked ministers, King Chu Huai actually stood up, took off the slender sword from his body, and laughed loudly: "I will give this 'Pingnan Sword' to Marquis Qu Yang as a reward! "
As soon as these words came out, the whole palace was shocked!
Zhaoju didn't care about hibernating anymore and stood up in shock: "Your Majesty! This must not be done!"
The ministers also stood up to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, such a reward is too heavy!"
Even Prince Mi Heng, who had been silent all this time, couldn't hold back any longer. He stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Father, Ping Nanjian...Father, think twice!"
