When he received the edict, Heifu's eyes also turned into dates. The confidence he had in front of his nephew yesterday was completely gone.
The date thrown by Qin Shihuang was much bigger than Heifu had imagined. He choked and pretended to be surprised, facing the direction of the palace with gratitude.
"I also ask you to put on your crown and come with me to see your majesty."
Along with the edict, there was also a complete set of clothes, robes, and ribbons. The visitor asked Hei Fu to put them on immediately. Qin Shihuang would formally announce his title in the palace later...
Heifu quickly took it and, with the help of the maid in the hotel, put on these complicated clothes.
On the top of the head is a somewhat large crown, seven inches long and four inches high, with a small top and a large bottom. It is shaped like a compound cup and is made of soap-colored silk.
Wearing plain clothes, she is solemn and elegant.
There is a purple ribbon around the waist, and there is also a jade purple gui that can be inserted into the belt.
This was the standard dress of the Marquis of Great Qin. Heifu took a look in the bronze mirror and felt that he was still suitable for wearing the armor of a military commander...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"
Even Heifu didn't understand this operation. Although he always talked about the title of Marquis as his "ideal", he never thought that it would be realized here and now...
The 20th rank of Qin military meritorious service was originally only 16th rank. In the "Book of Shangjun", the rank reaches the top of Daliang Cultivator, and the higher level is "Fengjun". After all, Qin Xiaogong's official title at that time was just
How can "Uncle Qin" be qualified to make someone a marquis?
Later, the Seven Heroes threw the Emperor of Zhou aside and called themselves kings. King Qin Huiwen expanded the general's rank to the twentieth level. The top nineteen and twenty were respectively Lunhou and Chehou.
The difference between the two is that the Marquis of Che has a fief and can leave the customs to go to the country. The Marquis of Lun is inferior to Che and has no fief. Because he does not need to leave the customs to go to the country, he is also called "the Marquis of Guannei". The King of Qin has some false titles.
Households, let Marquis Lun eat their taxes.
For a hundred years, the monarchs of the Qin State often held a conservative and stingy attitude towards the granting of feudal princes. It is not difficult to understand this. If the granting of the highest rank is open and generous, then the Qin State will have as many generals as the princes.
Dogs, Lunhou is everywhere. To be granted a title of marquis, one must have made great contributions to the country. Therefore, Wang Jian could not be granted the title despite his contribution to destroying Zhao. He once complained to Qin Shihuang: "As a great general, you will not be granted the title of marquis if you have meritorious service."
This situation changed after unification.
At the beginning, the Qin Dynasty was so big that there was only one Chehou, Wang Jian. But when Wang Jian passed away four years ago, in addition to Wang Bi, who had destroyed the Three Kingdoms, he also successfully climbed to the top. Wang Li, the lost general, also inherited the post of his grandfather.
, became the Marquis of Che. The Wang family had one sect and two Marquises of Che, thus becoming the first military sect in the Qin Dynasty.
In addition, Li Si was promoted to Lunhou first, and last year he was promoted to Chehou. After all, his status is equivalent to that of Fan Ju, the Yinghou during the reign of King Qin Zhaoxiang, and he was instrumental in planning the unification. This also means that Li Si's glory,
It has reached the top.
There are only three Chehous, but Lunhous are a bit too many. Just count the names on the Langya stone carvings of Qin Shi Huang and you will know:
Lunhou Jianchou Zhaohai, a veteran of the era of King Qin Zhaoxiang; Lunhou Changwu Gongsuncheng, this is the clan, Qin Shihuang's ancestor
's general.
In recent years, several more have been added: Li Xin drove away the Xiongnu, destroyed the Yuezhi, opened up the Western Regions, made great achievements, and was named Lunhou two years ago.
Meng Tian built up the Xiongnu. Over the years, he had conflicts with the Xiongnu and Donghu. He made many gains and was granted the title of Marquis of Lun a year ago.
These two men are talented and meritorious. If it weren't for the defeat in the first attack on Chu, they would have become the Marquis of Che.
It is worth noting that last month, Ye Teng, who was dying of illness, was promoted to Lunhou. After all, he was the only person besides the Wang family and his son who could destroy the country. Seeing that time was running out, Qin Shihuang also gave this
The honor that a veteran minister deserves.
So based on this calculation, Heifu is the eleventh Marquis of the Qin Dynasty and the eighth Lun Marquis...
Although he is not as qualified as the above people, he has played south, west, east and north in a circle like mahjong for more than ten years, and his achievements are not small.
But Hei Fu was not at all overjoyed. Why did Hei Fu choose this time to be granted the title of Marquis? Hei Fu was a little confused about Qin Shihuang’s tricks. This was not appreciating dates, it was clearly appreciating melons!
"Are you going to respect my position on the surface, and then transfer me back to Xianyang to reduce my authority?"
"Should I give you a reward first, so that I can be grateful by surprise, and then go clean up the mess in the south?"
Hei Fu, who was chatting and laughing in front of Chen Ping, was filled with gratitude, confusion, uneasiness, apprehension, and various other emotions in his heart.
While thinking about it, the palace has arrived.
But in the palace, all the important officials who came out with Qin Shihuang were present.
Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC, called him "Junhou" with a smile, and Hei Fu also smiled in return, feeling happy in his heart.
The eldest son, Fu Su, handed over to Hei Fu, feeling that Hei Fu deserved it and was completely unaware of Qin Shihuang's intentions. The son was no less scheming than the father.
Mao Jiao, the imperial censor, nodded and smiled at Hei Fu, and Yao Jia, the young master, lamented that his life was formidable.
There is also Li Si, the right prime minister. He is standing at the front, holding Chehou's Zigui in his hand. His eyes meet Heifu's and he greets with a smile.
But he was full of vigilance in his heart. Ten years ago, Li Si and Hei Fu met for the first time in Xianyang Palace. Hei Fu was a newly arrived official. He was as small as a mouse at Li Si's feet. He was only a useful mouse, so Li Si
I can be friendly with him, but my eyes are aloof.
But at this moment, his status with Heifu was much closer. The back wave was coming, and the front wave was starting to worry about the back...
Most of the others look at it with envy. It is the dream of countless people to become a marquis and become famous in their thirties.
To the above people, Hei Fu just returned the courtesy in a hurry and immediately looked at Qin Shi Huang, who was sitting on the emperor's couch.
Heifu was trembling in battle, bowed to the emperor, and said loudly: "Heifu has seen your majesty, long live your majesty!"
This kind of flattering three cheers was created by Jiaodong, but Qin Shihuang seemed to be tired of hearing it, and his face was expressionless.
According to the etiquette, Heifu needs to bow, say one word, receive one, and bow twice. When he bowed twice, he said: "Your Majesty does not think that the minister is despicable, and the vassal is the title of Marquis of Lun. How can I be so virtuous and capable? I am extremely frightened and invincible to win this honor."
The fear of dogs and horses!”
"You have merit, so be it."
Qin Shihuang's words were concise and concise, and he asked Taishi to order Hu Wujing to read out the eleventh edict of the Qin Dynasty:
"In the third month of the sixth month of the sixth year of the Wei Yuan Dynasty, an imperial edict was issued to appoint Heifu, the guardian of Jiaodong, as the Marquis of Lun. He said: 'I have inherited the order of heaven and the spirit of Ji Zong Temple to sweep away the evil and bring peace to the whole world. Heifu can conquer all barbarians.
Xian Jue Gong, so I built you in the title of Houwei. Houwei I bow to protect the Qin state, declare my power in all directions, and play! In fact, I am just a Lu who protects the country. He is just a wanderer on the side. When the sky is shining, you can be careless! Be diligent and guard against it.
!'"
Most people really can't understand it, and Heifu only knows the general content: The emperor said, you did a good job in the past, so I made you a marquis. You must do a good job and don't let me down...
He immediately bowed three times, trying hard to make his tone so emotional that he could cry, and the tassels of his handsome crown dropped to the ground:
"Your Majesty is so kind to you, and I will live up to your great love. I will live like the head of Yun, and die like a weed!"
However, Qin Shihuang just lifted it up calmly to let him go without courtesy, and all the officials also congratulated him in unison.
Then, Heifu’s title was announced...
Although Lunhou was mixed with water and was not a real seal, he still had a prefix and a title. For example, Zhao Hai was "Jianjianhou" and Feng Wuze was "Wuxinhou". They all chose a good meaning and added theirs.
Achievements.
Heifu felt a little uneasy in his heart. He was afraid that Qin Shihuang would come with some weird things like "Public Toilet Marquis" or "Black Marquis"...
Facts have proved that he was overthinking it. Qin Shihuang was very serious today, and the title he chose for Hei Fu had far-reaching intentions!
"You are the lord and guard of the state of Qin. I have Zhu Ying and green sieves. I have two spears and heavy bows. Rong and Di are the Yings. Jingshu is the Punishment. As well as the Yiyue people, everyone will follow me. I will be the leader of the southern border. I am called the Marquis of Changnan."
!”
…
As soon as this title was given to the Marquis of Changnan, Qin Shihuang’s intention of making him a Marquis became immediately clear!
Firstly, it was to agree to the Nanchang City built by Heifu, and secondly, it was to hope that Heifu could continue to expand southern Xinjiang in the future - this was Heifu's original joke back then, but in the end he was fooled.
“What a true prophecy!”
The ministers suddenly realized it, but Hei Fu felt a little headache and secretly complained:
"The title of a prince is a shame. Only you, the First Emperor of Qin, can do such a thing!"
After the ceremony, Qin Shihuang asked Heifu a question in front of all the ministers.
"Marquis Changnan, if I use your strategy and appoint you as my general, I can pacify Yue land and people in two years, is it possible?"
Good guy, the emperor also learned how to bargain. Last time it was said to be half a year, this time it was increased to two years, which is probably Qin Shihuang's bottom line...
Unlike the last time when the emperor and his ministers had a secret conversation where everyone was screened out, this time Qin Shihuang asked questions in public, and Hei Fu could only answer immediately.
With the previous series of foreshadowings, first he promoted Chen Pingjue so that he could no longer be Hei Fu's retainer as a warning. Then he used the title of "Changnan Marquis" to confuse Hei Fu's face. If Hei Fu still dares to say no at this moment,
He will be completely cool and can go back to his hometown to fish for the rest of his life.
At this time, it’s okay if it doesn’t work!
Heifu could only say loudly: "If I can do it, I will conquer the Baiyue and make the barbarian Yue obey..."
Qin Shihuang finally showed a smile. This was the satisfaction of a monarch and his ministers after a complete victory after a game.
Fighting with others is really a lot of fun.
He then said with a straight face: "The military situation is like a raging fire. We cannot delay even a day. I will ask people to prepare the tiger talisman, the certificate of appointment, the flag, and the order. You will set off immediately to stabilize the situation in southern Xinjiang! Then we will need soldiers."
, manpower and supplies are sent back to Xianyang!"
"promise!"
Heifu agreed, but then said: "Your Majesty, I am going south alone this time. It may not be easy for me to start military affairs. I... want to take someone away from Jiaodong. I hope your Majesty will allow it!"
Under the Qin system, officials were transferred and were not allowed to take their subordinates away. Qin Shihuang felt a little unhappy in his heart: "Could it be that Chen Ping?"
During the war against the Huns, Chen Ping went to the court of the Huns with a caravan and left a letter to drive a wedge between Shanyu and his son. Therefore, Qin Shihuang knew about his deeds and knew that he was a cunning and intelligent man. He was somewhat interested and wanted to let the court conquer him.
But Chen Ping would rather give up his merits and remain under the Qing nobility for a long time and be Heifu's retainer than become a real official of Qin.
"It's not Chen Ping."
Heifu smiled and said: "Chen Ping is already the chief of Zuo Shu and a senior official of the government. How can he be a retainer and be sent around by others? Wherever he goes, he is at the mercy of the imperial court and has nothing to do with me anymore. I want to take him away.
The man is just a small official who is good at managing grain and crops, his name is Xiao He!"
…
ps:
Li Si has become the Marquis of Che: "Si, a commoner in Shangcai Luxiang, was fortunate enough to be promoted to prime minister and granted the title of Tonghou. His descendants are all highly respected and highly respected, so he will be a subject of his life and death." - "Historical Records. Li Si"
"Biography" Tonghou was a name changed in the Han Dynasty to avoid Liu Che's taboo. It was also called Liehou.
