Li Chen ignored what Prince Ning was thinking, and he calmly made his opening remarks.
"You all already know the situation. What happened at Yueyangguan today and what I have experienced. Needless to say, you all must have known about it on the way here."
Wu Qingcang cupped his hands and said softly: "Your Highness, there are bound to be sacrifices in war, so please express your condolences."
Li Chen raised his hand and said: "There are some things that I did not consider, but since the matter has already happened, it is useless to dwell on those established facts. Instead, I will be dragged down by the benevolence of women, so I do not
Say no more."
"Before we get down to business, there are two things that Wu Qingcang and Wu Banshan should remember."
Wu Qingcang and Wu Bishan looked at each other, straightened their bodies, cupped their hands and said, "Please give me a lecture, Your Highness."
"I have issued an edict to confer Wang Dazhao as a second-grade hussar general, with the rank of General Longhu, and with the title of Marquis of the Great Qin Empire, and with the title of Marquis of Zhongyong, which can be hereditary for three generations. Fuyin's parents, descendants, and the eldest son of his eldest son will inherit the title.
If the eldest son has no heirs, he can adopt a son to inherit the family, which is decided by the royal family and approved by the court."
Since the late Emperor Tianyuan, the Great Qin court has been extremely stingy in awarding titles. Only those who have made great contributions to revitalizing the country cannot be granted titles. However, the few people who have been granted titles, except for the military god Su family, do not have hereditary privileges.
High honor lasts forever.
Today, Li Chen gave Wang Dazhao the posthumous title of second-grade Hussars General, and also awarded him the highest rank of Dragon and Tiger General among the second-grade officers. This is already an exception. Adding a posthumous title to a marquis who can be hereditary for three generations means that Da Qin has another
Glory will rise slowly.
This is a great gift.
Wu Qingcang immediately said: "I would like to thank His Highness for your kindness on behalf of Wang Dazhao."
Nodding, Li Chen said: "As for General Wang's posthumous affairs, he devoted his whole life to the country, and it is time for him to return to his roots after his death. His body will be sent back to his hometown by a special person, and he will be buried with a grand ceremony like a marquis. The governor of the province where he is located, the governor of the state government,
Political envoys and commanding envoys must be present to express condolences, and I will supervise this matter with officials from the Ministry of Rites in the capital."
"General Wang... deserves this honor."
No one at the scene had any comments.
Wang Dazhao’s contribution is visible to the naked eye.
It can be said that without him, Li Chen would not have escaped from Yueyangguan so easily.
This is a meritorious service in rescuing the driver.
In addition, since a person is dead, no matter how much glory he has, he can no longer enjoy it. It is nothing more than a benefit to future generations.
This is human nature and no one can object to it.
Taking a deep breath, Li Chen added: "The craftsmen immediately began to build a stone statue. The stone statue was based on the figure of General Wang Dazhao, but the facial features were not allowed to be depicted, leaving a white face, armor covering the body, and above the armor.
The palace wants the names of all the soldiers who died in the Crescent Pass to be engraved in it. In the future, no matter who in the future generations becomes emperor or becomes the guard of the Crescent Pass, this stone statue cannot be knocked down. The first thing every guard will do after taking office is to pay homage to the stone statue. The name of the stone statue
Said...the backbone of the Qin Dynasty."
When this order was issued, everyone present changed their minds.
This is what Li Chen wants to use as a national gift to record today's events and those who died in today's battle forever in the annals of history.
Wu Qingcang and Wu Banshan were trembling with excitement. After kneeling down, they loudly said: "Your Highness is righteous. I, the last general, will thank you for your kindness to all the soldiers of Yueyangguan!"
