Chapter 570 Be the champion of Fenghou, Fengjun Wu'an!
"How do you two dear princes think you should reward the young master for his high deeds?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole study fell into silence. They all knew that in the real reward, the commander-in-chief, Young Master Gao, was the winner.
Although Gongzi Gao didn't care about this, as the king of Great Qin, the Great Qin court had to care.
At this moment, Young Master Gao is the most distinctive banner of Da Qin.
Therefore, if the young master is high, he must be rewarded!
And it’s a big prize!
But since ancient times, the so-called reward based on merit has been a false proposition.
Now Young Master Gao has been victorious in every battle. It can be said that he has opened up new territories and expanded his territory. He has made unparalleled achievements, and even being granted a title of lord or king is enough for him at this moment.
However, when a minister is granted the title of lord or king, it means that his military exploits have reached the extreme. How will he be rewarded for his achievements in the future?
If there is no seal, this will be the beginning of chaos. At this time, Li Si and Wei Liao did not dare to say anything.
How to reward a young master highly requires a certain degree of control, which is too difficult.
Moreover, Young Master Gao was Ying Zheng's most proud son, but he was not the eldest son, let alone his legitimate son. His status was very embarrassing. This time, there would definitely be a large number of opponents in the court for this reward.
The young master is a versatile man in both civil and military affairs, but he is also so amazingly talented. It would be a huge waste to discard such an unparalleled talent.
Once members of the clan have made meritorious deeds, it is more difficult to reward them.
Seeing that both of them were silent, Ying Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "If you two dear ladies have something to say in their hearts, just say so!"
"Both of you know clearly that Gongzi Gao has compiled a book in Xianyang. This matter must be concluded. Whether it is the military exploits of Gongzi Gao's soldiers or Gongzi Gao's military exploits, statistical investigation must be carried out!"
"Tomorrow there will be a court meeting at Xianyang Hall. A decision must be made, and the reward for Young Master Gao is the top priority."
At this point, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "You two can speak freely. Today is just what you and I, the monarch and my ministers, want to talk about. There is no distinction between right and wrong."
"promise."
Seeing that they couldn't push him away, Li Si and Wei Liao looked at each other. Li Si couldn't help but nodded: "Your Majesty, the young master has made great achievements in battle, so it's time for him to be crowned king!"
If a member of the clan has meritorious service in war, he will definitely be granted the title of king. When the young master became a Jiao, he must have been granted the title of Lord of Chang'an by virtue of his ability to attack Han|.
In fact, Li Si knew very well that being crowned a king alone was not enough to express Ying Gao's illustrious achievements, and he should be crowned a marquis.
However, the title of king and the title of prince are two different concepts!
Since the Shang Yang Reform in the Great Qin Dynasty, title has been linked to military merit. The Qin law clearly stipulates that a clan cannot be a vassal without military merit.
If the descendants of Da Qin's clan did not achieve military merit, they could not be included in the noble list, so they were granted the title of king.
Shang Yang's reform broke the system of worldly ministers and nobles, and linked the title to military merit. This is the military merit title system, and the highest title is marquis.
However, Shang Yang left a backdoor, that is, he did not explicitly abolish the feudal monarchy system that was popular during the Warring States period, which was equivalent to retaining the exceptional grant power of the King of Qin.
Although the feudal prince will also receive land, and with the land, there will be corresponding taxes and benefits. However, in Da Qin, the welfare received by the feudal prince is less than that of the feudal prince.
Because the title channel is only a flexible supplement to the military merit title, rather than damaging the normal military merit title system.
After all, the monarchy system is only controlled within a small scope, while the twenty-level military merit title system is universal.
With the young master's illustrious military exploits, even if he were to be granted a title of lord, it would be difficult for him to be a lord to silence the world.
What's more, today's master master has an army of 300,000, and he is one of the best commanders in the world.
For a moment, even Li Si felt that it was a bit unrealistic. But once Ying Gao was granted the title of Marquis, it meant that the twenty-level military merit title had come to an end.
If such a good general was abandoned for this reason, it would be a huge loss to the Qin Dynasty.
The reason why Li Si opened his mouth to talk about making a king was because he had no choice but to say the word "marquis" from his mouth. The reason why he named Mengtian and Wang Ben as marquises in the first place was just to win over the Wang family and the Meng family.
At this moment, the political situation of Da Qin is stable. Qin Wangzheng suppresses the entire Da Qin alone and has already become the unique master of Da Qin.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public to become a prince. There are millions of warriors in the Qin Dynasty. How can a prince be compared with the military exploits of the young master Gao!"
Ying Zheng shook his head and said to Li Si and Wei Liao: "Gu has thought about this matter before, and plans to treat Ying Gao like Lord Shang, not only making him a marquis but also making him a king!"
"It's just that I haven't been able to decide on the title of Marquis or Lord. I'm a very knowledgeable person. Can you give me some advice?"
Hearing this, Li Si hurriedly said: "The general will be brave enough to crown the three armies. He will be invincible in all battles and conquer all attacks. He will also open up and expand territory for our Great Qin. You can be named the champion in order to have the meaning of bravely crowning the three armies."
"As for the title of Lord, naturally Lord Wu'an is the best——!"
Having said this, Li Si hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand towards Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, I still feel that it is not too late to make Prince Gao a king first, and then wait until the extreme south is conquered before making him a marquis."
"Otherwise, after being granted the title of marquis and king now, how will I be rewarded when Young Master Gao returns from the extreme south?"
"Um!"
Nodding, Ying Zheng turned to Wei Liao and said: "Guo [Biquge www.boquge.co] Wei, please immediately join forces with the Tingwei Mansion Office and the National Government Office to conduct a statistical survey on the military exploits. This matter needs to be determined as soon as possible."
"promise."
Then Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and ordered, "It's up to you, Li Si, to stop the mouths of the ministers at the court meeting tomorrow!"
"promise."
.........
The next day.
As soon as the rising sun broke through the horizon, Fan Zeng got up.
He freshened up and left the mansion. News came from the Xianyang Palace study room that a court meeting would be held today to decide on the reward.
Fan Zeng came here specifically for this purpose, so he was naturally extremely considerate.
After all, today's court meeting will decide whether he can return to the northwest as he wishes, and it also represents whether Ying Gao's idea will be realized, and he still remembers Ying Gao's instructions to him before leaving.
Fan Zeng knew that even if there were a Guo Wei and a King of Qin, there would definitely be a lot of opponents. The Qin Wang Zheng and Guo Wei's positions were too high and would not end well, but he, Fan Zeng, had no such worries.
It is his mission to endorse Ying Gao.
After being silent for so long, since Ying Gao is not in Xianyang, he should let the officials of Great Qin see the sharp edge from the northwest.
They are not only quick with their knives, but also slow with their mouths.
Thoughts flashed in Fan Zeng's mind. At this moment, although his fighting spirit was high, he still hoped that the civil and military officials in the court and the Gong Gong would be merciful, so that he would not have to say what Ying Gao said.
Once those words are spoken, it will be tantamount to forcing the court, which is a taboo.
Before the last step, Fan Zeng was unwilling to speak out. He wanted to leave a leeway for Ying Gao.
