Hu Hai walked to the Yangxin Hall under the leadership of Li Si. He felt a little strange along the way. This was the first time in his life that he was led here by others, and the identity of the person leading the way was not ordinary.
Entering the main hall, Hu Hai shook off those messy thoughts from his mind and said to Emperor Qin meticulously: "My son, I pay my respects to my father."
Emperor Qin waved his hand, indicating that he would be free of courtesy, and looked at his youngest son. The more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became, and asked: "How do you feel about suppressing the rebellion this time?"
Hu Hai thought for a while and replied: "This is the first time that I have served as the commander-in-chief of a hundred thousand troops. It took more than three months to go and quell the rebellion. The overall feeling can be described in four words."
"Oh" Qin Huang suddenly became more interested and asked: "What four words?"
Hu Hai replied with a serious face: "There is no danger."
A glimmer of light flashed in Emperor Qin's eyes, and he praised: "Well said, you are worthy of me. Hu Hai, you have made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Hu Hai said righteously: "It is my honor to be able to take care of my father's worries. No reward or anything else is important."
The smile on Emperor Qin's face became even thicker. Although he knew that Hu Hai said this deliberately, he felt comfortable listening to it and said:
"It is the foundation of the Qin Dynasty that meritorious deeds must be rewarded. Hu Hai, since you have made meritorious deeds, you must reward them. Tell me, what do you want? As long as it is not too much, I can satisfy you."
Hu Hai frowned and thought about it carefully. He didn't seem to have anything in particular that he wanted, so he replied honestly: "I can't think of anything that I want in particular. How about you decide, father?"
I believe that my father will not treat his son badly."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qin couldn't help but glance at Hu Hai, who had an innocent expression on his face.
Then Emperor Qin turned his attention to Li Si and asked: "How does the Prime Minister think the reward should be awarded?"
Li Si heard the words and immediately replied: "In Da Qin, the usual rewards for military achievements are first to be knighted, secondly to practice skills and treasures, thirdly to land, and thirdly to gold and copper. And the young master is not an ordinary person. Looking at it from a general perspective
, Master, it is most suitable for you to choose a treasure.”
Emperor Qin shook his head, not satisfied with this, and waved his hand: "It's too unoriginal. Please step back first. I'm thinking about it."
Li Si and Hu Hai bowed and left after hearing this.
After a while, ripples flashed in the air, and Da Siming appeared in front of Emperor Qin and presented a silk book with both hands.
Emperor Qin took it and opened it. After a few breaths, his face became gloomy: "How outrageous. I just killed a rebel and a group of unscrupulous people. They dared to slander me for killing heroes. How does the Tingwei Mansion handle this matter?
Is it not good?"
Da Siming bowed and cupped his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, the Tingwei Mansion is now leaderless. All the commanders have their own ideas, and I am afraid they are not interested in sharing your Majesty's worries."
Emperor Qin raised his eyelids slightly: "Li Si doesn't care?"
Da Siming replied: "The Prime Minister is very responsible and doesn't care about the affairs of Tingwei Mansion. That's why those people have more ideas."
Emperor Qin nodded: "I understand, you can go down."
Upon hearing this, Da Siming bowed, and then another wave of ripples appeared in the air, and the whole person disappeared.
Emperor Qin murmured to himself: "The kingdom of Qin cannot be in chaos yet. I still have to find someone to lead the Tingwei Mansion to monitor the world for me and arrest the rebels."
"There are also some ministers in the DPRK who also need to be appeased."
Thinking of this, Emperor Qin shouted outside the palace: "Come here, let Zhao Gao come and see me."
Immediately a young eunuch responded outside, and then left in a hurry.
Soon Zhao Gao rushed over from outside, saluted Emperor Qin and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Gao, pays homage to your Majesty. What are your orders?"
There was no expression on Emperor Qin's face, and he replied indifferently but majestically: "It is my decree that my son Hu Hai has made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion. He is specially appointed as the right eunuch of Tingwei Mansion."
Zhao Gao was memorizing it seriously, but when he heard that Hu Hai was assigned to the right prisoner of Tingwei, he couldn't help but be startled and looked at Emperor Qin in surprise, unable to believe his ears.
Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, only princes have participated in political affairs, and no one has occupied actual positions with the dignity of a prince. What is your Majesty's intention?
However, Zhao Gao did not dare to ask, and Emperor Qin did not give him any answers, and continued: "Draft another imperial edict to move Meng Tian, the right prisoner of the former Tingwei Mansion, as Tingwei."
The look of surprise on Zhao Gao's face had not completely dissipated, but it reappeared. The Meng family father and son were awarded the title of Marquis, and one of them was ranked among the three nobles. It can be said that it was extremely glorious.
"The third imperial edict, I heard that Wang Ben, the good son of the Wang family, was extremely brave and loyal to the country, and his wife died early, so I give permission to the princess who has no tears yet to choose a good and auspicious day to get married."
After Emperor Qin finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Gao in a daze, frowned slightly and said, "Have you memorized these three imperial edicts?"
Zhao Gao immediately came back to his senses and said: "I have memorized everything, let's go and draw up the decree."
Emperor Qin waved his hand to ask him to leave.
Soon the three imperial edicts were spread, causing a shock.
…
In the Lin Mansion, Hu Hai took over the imperial edict from the young eunuch and turned around with a look of mourning. After sending the young eunuch away, he couldn't help complaining to Lin Ze: "Father, this is not a reward, it is simply a punishment.
"
Lin Ze said blankly: "This is obviously a good thing, why did the young master say this?"
Hu Hai said gloomily: "This is not a good thing. In a few days, I will be the right prisoner of the Tingwei Nalaoshizi. I have to go to Dianmao every day. I will no longer be able to go out and play for a whole day. How pitiful."
Lin Ze... Co-author, are you unhappy because of this? Do you know how important the position of Tingwei right prisoner is? How many people can't even dream of getting an official position, but you despise it?
Seeing Lin Ze's silence, Hu Hai couldn't help but said: "Lin Ze, it seems you think so too. Please help me think of a way to avoid this matter."
Lin Ze sighed and said, "Sir, this is a great thing. Your Majesty loves you so much, you must cherish it."
Hu Hai looked confused: "What's better, tell me?"
Lin Ze rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you know, Master, that Tingwei's Mansion is the place with the most spies? If Master becomes the right prisoner of Tingwei, wouldn't it be easy to know what's going on in the world?"
"If there is another conflict between Young Master and Fusu in the future, with Young Master's power and authority, he can easily gain the upper hand. How will Fusu fight against Young Master then?"
Hu Hai was overjoyed after hearing this: "Lin Ze, you are right. If I become the right prisoner of this court, I will know everything about Fusu's troubles. Let's see how he fights with me in the future, hehe."
Lin Ze then said quietly: "Young Master, please don't forget that if you lead an army of 100,000 people on an expedition, you will get 10,000 elite soldiers. Now that the Young Master is about to occupy a high position in the Tingwei Mansion, our intelligence system can be fully established.
"
Hu Hai was stunned: "Isn't it better to just use the one from Tingwei Mansion?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "It is best to hold things in your own hands after all."
