After returning to Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng was obviously in a good mood. You can only be said to be an ambitious emperor in opening up new territories, but you cannot be called a wise emperor at all. Your rule cannot be said to be a prosperous one. Since ancient times, you have been The evaluation criterion of a prosperous age is always the same, which is to keep the people well fed and clothed. As long as you can make 60% of the people in the world eat two meals a day, you are an indispensable wise king.
The use of the Quyuan Li obviously brought Ying Zheng one step closer to becoming a wise king.
"Father Zhong, what do you think the teacher's title should be? Where is the title?" Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei and asked.
At this time, Ziyou did not follow Ying Zheng back to the palace, but returned to his own house. At this time, there were only Lu Buwei, Li Si and Ying Zheng in the hall, and Zhao Gao was still sorting out the car.
Lu Buwei and Li Si were both stunned. It must be said that Ziyou's contribution to the Qin State did have the capital to become a prince, whether it was the control of the locust plague before, the killing of Lao Ai, the plot to attack Zhao, or the current Qu Yuanli. , it is no problem to add up to get a good ban.
"It's easy to talk about the fiefdom. Just choose a rich land and give it to your husband. He won't care about it. What I think is that when Mr. Ziyou is granted the title of marquis, he should wait until the world is unified and Songhai will be your fiefdom. If you look at it now If so, you can choose a place in Guanzhong as a fiefdom, and then change the fiefdom after the world is unified. As for the title? This needs to be discussed carefully. I will discuss it with the Prime Minister's Office after I return." Lu Buwei said.
It is a troublesome thing to give Ziyou a title. Every word has a special meaning. Confucianism especially pays more attention to this. The slightest mistake may cause discussion among the ministers. For example, the highest character, this general They are not given easily, and are usually given as posthumous titles to ministers to commend them for their achievements during their lifetime. Lu Buwei's also has this letter as a foil.
Marquis is usually a double-character title. The most common title is to use the place where he was awarded as the title. The next higher level is the word "Meizi Hou". A word with a special meaning is chosen to designate the title, such as his "Wenxinhou" or "Marquis". There are representative titles, such as Bai Yifei's Bloody Marquis. The highest level is Shanzihou. Ying Zheng's intention is obviously to give Ziyou a Danzihou.
Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng looked at Li Si. Li Si was also a little overwhelmed. Zi You's current credit was embarrassing, neither above nor below. It would be more appropriate if he had other credits.
"I second the proposal. The title can be discussed later, and the land should be given first." Li Si said, either don't give it, or give it to the best one. Except for essays, single-word essays have been regarded as rewards after the death of ministers.
"Okay, let's follow what Father Zhong said." Ying Zheng found out that it was indeed what Lu Buwei said. He also regretted that he had spoken out about the matter of becoming a marquis today. He should have thought carefully before speaking.
When Ziyou returned to the house, he was surrounded by Concubine Yan, Yan Lingji and Xue Nu as soon as he entered the house. Naturally, they heard about Ziyou's appointment as a marquis, but Ziyou had no interest in it. It was just a title. It sounds very exciting, but in fact it is the same thing. Ziyou understands that his credit is now embarrassing, not enough compared to the superiors, but more than enough compared to the inferiors. I am afraid that he will just put aside the title for the time being and give the land first, although he did not have this before. Things, but everything needs a beginning.
"Sir, did the court say that you would be given a title?" Xue Nu asked.
"It should be a double-character marquis, or even better, a single-character marquis. It depends on the character." Concubine Yan said.
Yan Lingji didn't understand this, but it didn't stop her from being happy. There were also feudal lords in Baiyue. When the edict of the feudal lords came down, Ziyou changed from a scholar to a nobleman, but Ziyou didn't care. That’s all.
"It doesn't matter, today is a good day, let's go out for a walk." Ziyou said.
"Where are you going?" Yan Lingji asked curiously.
"Let's go shopping in Xianyang City. It's been so long since I've been here in Xianyang that I haven't had a good tour of Xianyang." Ziyou said.
"Okay." The three women agreed and went to clean themselves up. For women, there is nothing more interesting than shopping.
Zi You naturally attracted much attention when he took the three girls on the street. It was not because Zi You was recognized, but because the three girls had different styles and were all incredibly beautiful. Naturally, they attracted a lot of attention, but Everyone also understood that the people wandering around Xianyang City accompanied by these three women must be people of noble status, and no one came up to cause trouble. After all, Qin Fa was still there.
Han Fei and Jing Ke were drinking in a restaurant. While Han Fei wanted to numb himself, Jing Ke was eating the wine in the dish cup and didn't drink much. No matter how much he liked drinking, he couldn't drink every day. Han Fei is such a sad person.
"Is that Brother Ziyou?" Jing Ke asked, looking at Ziyou who was shopping below.
Han Fei also looked over and said after confirming
"It's indeed junior brother. Junior brother is in such a good mood today, why not invite us to have a drink together."
After Han Fei finished speaking, he burped and shouted below, "Junior brother, here!"
Ziyou looked up and saw Han Fei and Jing Ke waving to him from the window on the second floor of the wine shop. Ziyou waved and discussed with the three girls. They decided that they didn't like drinking and continued shopping. Ziyou came to the second floor of the wine shop.
"You guys will be in a good mood and have a drink here." Ziyou sat down and looked at Han Fei and Jing Ke and said.
"Junior brother, please stop making fun of me." Han Fei put down his wine glass and said, if possible, who would be willing to drink here every day, thinking about what is going on in South Korea today? I wonder what happened to Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang’s reform?
"Boss Juzi has been hit by the six-soul terror curse of the Yin-Yang family and is still recuperating. Duke Chu Nan and Yueshen of the Yin-Yang family have been standing still in Xianyang. Who knows if they will suddenly come out when we are about to leave. I can He is no match for Duke Nan of Chu." Jing Ke said.
Zi You looked at Jing Ke, a stubborn fellow, and was unwilling to say anything more. This was the Mo family's own business, and it was inconvenient for him as an outsider to interfere. While the three of them were drinking and chatting, several young men in Chinese clothes When he arrived at the wine shop, he said to the shopkeeper
"Arrange good food and wine for this young master. The young masters are sending the boss off to Xianyang today."
Ziyou, Han Fei and Jing Ke followed the sound. Under the guidance of a waiter, several young people came to the second floor and found a larger table to sit down casually. Looking at these people, Han Fei said to Ziyou
"These people should be members of the clan."
Ziyou nodded. Simply hearing what the other party said about me, Master, can prove that there is no one in Xianyang who dares to be so arrogant except for members of the clan.
"It seems that the clan members of the Qin State are no different from those of other countries. If it weren't for the support of the King of Qin, I'm afraid it would still take decades for this ambition to go east." Han Fei smiled self-deprecatingly. If it weren't for the continuous support of the Qin State, The six generations of Mingjun are probably not the same as today's Qin. In other words, as long as there is a Mingjun in Korea, South Korea will not be like this. When he thinks of this, Han Fei is not only mocking the current decline of the Qin clan, but also mocking the corruption and incompetence of South Korea.
"Brother Han Fei, look at their hands. These are not the hands of a pampered young master." Jing Ke said to Han Fei.
Han Fei looked intently and saw that the clan princes on the table were not as fair as those in Korea. Each of them had darker skin color, and his hands were even darker brown. They looked like they were often exposed to the air and did heavy work. Everyone's hands have a lot of calluses, and they don't look like a member of the clan. Han Fei carefully looked at the people at this table. Although the words in their mouths were like those of a swinger, each one The person's eyes are clear and commanding, and his face is full of determination.
At this time, a man who looked like a black tower walked up to the second floor. The young men stood up one by one, saluted and shouted to the man.
"Brother."
"Sit down." The man sat down and said. The man was Ying Han, who was thrown to Zheng Guoqu by his own father Weiyang Jun to serve as a corvee. After the transformation of corvee service and border guarding, Ying Han no longer had the arrogance and laziness he had before, but instead Like a sharp sword in a scabbard, just waiting for the moment to be drawn out.
Ying Han has received an edict from Ying Zheng, requiring him to represent the clan and stabilize the people. Although he does not understand this, the officials who are traveling with him will tell him what to do. While doing corvee work and guarding the border, he also understands that he is not What kind of person is he? He is not a nobleman by birth. He is just lucky enough to be born into the clan, otherwise he would be inferior to ordinary people. After studying in Zheng Guoqu, Yinghan understood his mission and became humble and cautious. The people who built the canal also didn't understand that the people of Qin today are not as good as what is said outside.
As time went by, Yinghan, who was originally lazy and aloof, also understood his responsibilities and mission as a member of the clan. While guarding the border, he also understood the difficulty of the Qin soldiers, and his whole person also became mature.
"Brother, you have suffered. Just now we were talking about who suffered more during our trip. It seems that we are much worse off than eldest brother." A young man looked at Ying Han and said.
"Everyone is doing this for the future of Great Qin. There is no hard or easy situation. It's just that my father didn't treat me as a human being and just threw me into Zheng Guoqu." Ying Han complained, although he thanked his father for letting him He has become a different person, but he will never forget the suffering he suffered in Zheng Guoqu.
"Where have you all been?" Ying Han looked at his brothers and asked. When the clan received the order, all the young people went out to travel. Each of them chose a direction, either alone or in groups of three or two. After traveling abroad, they were among the early ones to come back.
"I went to Beijun. Brother, you may not know that I went to the battlefield and killed two Huns with my own hands." A young man said with bright eyes.
Others also began to talk nonsense. Han Fei listened to their words with extremely complicated eyes. He did not expect that the Qin clan disciples looked like other countries on the outside, but in fact they had begun to penetrate deeply into the people and the army. Among them, the experience began.
"Two hundred and eighteen members of the Qin clan went out this time, fifty-six of them came back this time, and there is news about twenty-eight of them who died on the way to practice." Ziyou said softly.
"What happened to the Qin State today is not God's will, but manpower." Han Fei closed his eyes and said. He may have understood the reason why the Qin State is what it is today. The Qin State really dared to do it. They even dared to throw out the clan disciples. Experience, no fear of life and death, and these clan disciples are actually willing to do so, not caring whether they will die on the road. This is not the courage that the Six Kingdoms of Shandong can have. If any of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong dares to do such a thing, the monarch will probably be punished. Force the palace to abdicate and give way to the virtuous.
It’s all done today
