Everyone followed King Qin to the outside of the palace. The guards had already brought two bloody horses here, and the saddles and stirrups were also equipped.
Among them, the male horse is about eight feet tall at the withers, and the female horse is more than seven feet tall at the withers. Their limbs are extremely slender, their body is plump, and they are full of power.
Perhaps due to running all the way, the two horses seemed a little tired, but they were still in great shape. They snorted from time to time, with an uneasy look in their eyes. It wasn't until they saw Song Lu that they became docile.
"Your Majesty, please look, this is the Bloody Horse." Song Lu pointed at the Bloody Horse and said.
"It is indeed a treasure." Qin Wangji stepped forward and stroked the sweaty horse's back with his hands. The brown hair was as smooth as satin.
If he were twenty years younger, even ten years old, Qin Wangji would definitely get on his horse and gallop to his heart's content.
It's a pity that now his hair is gray, the hero is old, and his body can no longer bear the pain. Qin Wangji can only sigh, reluctantly caress the sweaty horse's head, turn around and say to Wang Lu, "Come on, general, let's give it a try."
"Nuo." Wang Hao cupped his fists and saluted, and walked up to Gonghan Xuema.
The sweaty horse seemed to have noticed something, and took a few uneasy steps back. When Wang Hao got on the horse, he immediately let out a long hiss and ran like crazy. At the same time, his body swayed from side to side, trying to throw Wang Hao off his back.
Wang Hao tightly grasped the horse's belly with his legs, and the power of a strong man in the extraordinary realm was slightly revealed.
The sweaty BMW immediately realized that the strength of the man on his back was beyond its ability to offend, and his irritable mood gradually stabilized, and he began to act according to Wang Lu's orders.
"It's quite humane." Wang Lu muttered, and controlled the sweaty horse to run towards the Weishui River, disappearing at the end of the horizon in the blink of an eye.
King Qin and a group of civil and military officials stood there waiting. From this scene, it can be seen that the Dawan horse is indeed a good horse.
Wang Hao did not keep them waiting for too long, and returned from the Weishui direction in about half a quarter of an hour.
"Your Majesty, this horse is far better than our Longxi horse from Qin." Wang Lu turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and said.
The sweaty BMW snuggled up next to Wang Hao and rubbed his head against Wang Hao's palm affectionately.
Wang Hao stretched out his hand and stroked the head of the sweaty horse. Unfortunately, it was not a transcendent war horse, but an ordinary war horse with internal energy.
Although it is a good horse, it is of little use to a general like him.
Although there is a great improvement for ordinary cavalry, the number is too small and it is not popular at all.
But having said that, if the military strength can be greatly improved, it is impossible for Dayuan to be given to Qin.
When someone gives you a gift, it's a sign of friendship, but it's not a sign of stupidity.
"If every cavalry can be equipped with such a war horse, from now on, our Qin country will not be afraid of Zhao's cavalry." Bai Qi subconsciously grasped the Long Yuan sword at his waist, but it was empty, and then he remembered to enter the palace.
At that time, the weapons were taken away by the guards, and I couldn't help but sigh.
There was no rule in the Qin State that military generals were not allowed to carry weapons when entering the palace. Back then, he could bring weapons to and from anywhere in the Qin State, but now he just enters the palace and his weapons are taken away.
Now that the State of Zhao is at its peak, King Ji of Qin is old, and the prince is in poor health, it is very likely that there will be a continuous change of power in the future.
This is a special time for any kingdom.
While Qin Wangji was wise and powerful, he also became more and more sensitive and did not trust almost anyone.
"It's a pity that the place rich in such BMWs does not belong to our country of Qin." Qin Wangji stood outside Xianyang Palace, looking at the direction of the setting sun, and sighed deeply.
If Dawan was not too far away from Qin, he would not hesitate to send troops to attack it.
Such a BMW is enough for the Qin State to devote all its strength to occupy and conquer the opponent.
What a pity! What a pity!
"Please, Your Majesty, order immediately to select good horses and breed them with Dawan horses." Lu Buwei took a step forward and said with cupped hands.
Even if the foal produced by breeding a Longxi horse and a sweat-blooded horse is not as good as a purebred sweat-blooded horse, it is definitely a grade higher than an ordinary Longxi horse.
It's a pity that there is only one stallion. No matter how powerful it is, the foals it produces are only suitable for the middle and upper classes, and it is impossible to equip the entire legion.
"Leave this matter to the young master." Qin Wangji nodded.
"No." Lu Buwei said.
"With the order, Song Lu and other eighteen merchants traveled thousands of miles to the far west to open up trade routes for the Qin State and brought back Baoju. They experienced hardships and nine deaths along the way, and worked hard and made great achievements. Now I canonize Song Lu and create a title for the young master.
, and the remaining seventeen people will be given the title of fifth official. They will be given a house in Xianyang City, ten maids, twenty ministers, and one hundred thousand yuan. If Yin's son takes the title, there is no need to lower the title." King Qin Ji ordered.
Although the titles of the Qin State can be passed on to heirs, except for the Marquis of Che and the Marquis of Guannei, all the following titles must be downgraded. As for the number of downgrades, depending on the level of the title, the age of the heirs is different, and the regulations are also different.
Among them, the highest rank under the Marquis of Guan Nei, the Grand Concubine, was demoted the most, requiring a reduction of nine levels. At least two levels were required.
However, Qin Wangji's order exempted Song Lu and others from being demoted when they attacked the nobility. Although it was only one generation, it was already rare in the Qin State with strict laws.
"Head of Guizhou... I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."
Suddenly, Song Lu and others were so excited that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, the last general has objections." Wang Lu walked up to everyone and said loudly, "Your Majesty's move is unfair. The last general and others have fought for decades and made countless achievements, but now they only have the title of Zuo Shu Zhang. They are just merchants.
, not a single enemy was killed, not a single city was attacked. If you are so easily granted the title of Young Master, the general and others will not accept it."
It is extremely difficult to rise to a noble title in the Qin State. Wang Lu is now only a tenth-level noble concubine. He is already considered a high noble in the Qin State, and there are only a few people above him.
If the King of Qin hadn't pardoned his defeat in the Battle of Changping, he wouldn't even be able to reach the tenth rank.
And Song Lu and others just went to the far west, and when they came back, they were given the title of Young Master and Fifth Great Officer. How did those soldiers who worked so hard to kill the enemy feel?
Song Lu and others also felt that the reward given by King Qin Ji was too heavy, so they knelt on the ground and did not dare to argue.
"No matter who it is, whether it's a merchant, a son-in-law, or even a concubine, as long as it can open up financial avenues for our Qin State and enhance its national strength, I will immediately make him a young man. The same goes for you. Who has any objections?" Qin Wangji
Said in a deep voice.
The majestic gaze swept over everyone's face, and everyone who was caught lowered their heads involuntarily.
Wei Ran stood at the end of the crowd, looking at Qin Wangji and Wang Lu, with a sneer on his lips. He had played this trick fifty years ago.
First, let your close friends stand up and object, and then scold and explain to appease the rest of the people.
