"Of course I'm sure. Not only did the two doctors cure Ai Fei's illness, but I also said that Ai Fei's brother has made several great achievements. Each of his great achievements deserves a toast from Ai Fei! What's more, Ai Fei's brother is also one of my own.
Brother-in-law, I am the uncle of the state. If I were not the emperor, I should toast you with my beloved concubine."
As soon as Qin Shihuang finished speaking, Fusu stood up and said: "Concubine Li is also like the mother and concubine of the son and minister, and the brother of the mother and concubine is also the uncle of the son and minister. Father, the son is brave, please agree with the father.
Together with my wife, I propose a toast to my uncle on behalf of my father to express my gratitude!"
Qin Shihuang was immediately delighted: "Okay, okay, my son is very sensible! I'm sure!"
Then Yushu and Fusu left their seats and came directly to Guo Dong with wine glasses in hand.
Because Fusu was the toast on behalf of Qin Shihuang, and he was a junior, so after he finished the toast, Yu Shu withdrew his eyes from staring at Yi Xiaochuan, stepped forward and stood in front of Guo Dong and raised his glass: "Yu Shu
Here’s a toast, brother, and thank you for risking your life several times to save Yushu from dying!”
Guo Dong smiled and clinked glasses with Yu Shu: "Yu Si, if you call me brother, I can't ignore your sister. Yu Gong, you are my concubine of the Great Qin. As a citizen of the Great Qin, you must be loyal to the king and serve the country."
Dare to slack off!"
"Okay! Uncle said it well, Fusu will give you another drink!"
While talking, Fusu toasted Guo Dong with another glass of wine!
At this time, Yu Shu also picked up a glass of wine again and turned to look at Yi Xiaochuan and Cui Wenzi: "Thank you two doctors for saving your life!"
Yi Xiaochuan had been looking at Yushu absentmindedly since Yushu and Qin Shihuang came to the main hall together. If it weren't for Cui Wenzi who kept pulling him to kneel down, stand up and salute, and if it weren't for Guo Dong's tall stature, he would have been
If he stood in front of him so that no one could notice his abnormality, he would have been dragged out and cut into pieces by now.
So he didn't react at all to Yu Shu's toast. Instead, he lost his temper and dropped the wine glass to the ground, attracting everyone's attention.
Fortunately, Cui Wenzi had already guessed that this thing would fall off the chain, and he reacted immediately. He stretched out his hand and pressed Yi Xiaochuan's shoulders and knelt down: "Your Majesty, my companion has never seen such a big scene.
Today I saw His Majesty's power for the first time. I was so frightened that I dared to drink the wine offered by the Queen. I was so frightened that I dropped my wine glass. This shows how majestic Your Majesty is in the hearts of my subjects. I beg Your Majesty to forgive us for our rudeness.
sin!"
Guo Dong raised his eyebrows and looked at Cui Wenzi, "Oh my God, this guy is so good at flattering me!"
Lao Cui, where is your backbone? Where is your face!?
But at this time, it is more important to help Yi Xiaochuan smooth things over: "Your Majesty, you occupy the eight wastelands and unify the six regions. You are the true Dragon Emperor, the supreme king of the world. In your Weijiahai, you are the holy power of the emperor throughout the ages.
Your Majesty, my companion must be a little distracted because he is in awe of His Majesty’s divine majesty and holy face!”
Cui Wenzi immediately looked over with squinting eyes like Guo Dong just now, "You flatter me even more than I do, you are so shameless!"
However, as the saying goes, flattery cannot be worn even if it is worn a thousand times. Cui Wenzi and Guo Dong, two consecutive flatterers that made people get goosebumps all over their bodies, immediately made Qin Shihuang, who was a little sulky just now, feel extremely happy.
He laughed loudly: "That's right, that's right. If you don't respect me now, it would be weird! Get up, I don't blame you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cui Wenzi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly got up from the ground with Yi Xiaochuan and bowed for a long time.
"Play, Your Majesty!"
As a result, Cui Wenzi and Yu Shu had just put their hearts back into their stomachs when someone stared at them for a long time. After that, they suddenly came out of class, and their hearts immediately rose to their throats again.
"Your Majesty, I have recognized that my uncle and one of the two doctors are the two warriors of Lanchi that we have been looking for for many days!"
Qin Shi Huang's eyes widened: "What?"
He looked carefully at Guo Dong and Yi Xiaochuan below, but found that the distance was too far, and the lighting in the ancient hall was not very good, so they could not see clearly, so he said: "Uncle Guo, and you, come here!"
One of the two people knew what was going on, and the other was worried and came to the place closest to Qin Shihuang under the imperial steps. Qin Shihuang also got up and walked down the imperial steps and came to the two of them: "You two, raise your heads.
Come!"
After the two men raised their heads, Qin Shihuang saw that they were really those two people: "Lanchi said goodbye in a hurry, I haven't thanked the warrior for the good wine yet!"
Qin Shihuang made a little joke with the two men, and then turned to look at the minister of civil and military affairs: "My dear friends, these two are the Lanchi warriors that I asked you to search for for many days! By the way, these two warriors
What’s your name?”
"My name is Guo Dong, Guo Ziliang!"
"My name is Yi Xiaochuan!"
Qin Shihuang nodded, and for Lanchi's rescue and curing Yu Shu's illness, he granted Yi Xiaochuan the title of general guarding the palace. He was called a general, but in fact he was just a city gate captain.
He works as a gatekeeper for the palace, so his name must sound nice.
But in fact, he only has three to five hundred people under his command. He is the general guarding one of the many gates of the imperial palace. There are at least several others like him, and there are also generals of the Forbidden Army above him, who are at the same level but higher.
There are also the bodyguard generals responsible for guarding the inner palace, not to mention Qin Shihuang's personal bodyguard generals.
But no matter what, Yi Xiaochuan is a general after all, and after refusing once and almost angering Qin Shihuang, he was awakened by Yu Shu and realized that this was his dream position... guarding the palace was naturally closer to Yu Shu.
And it increases the chances of meeting Yu Shu.
Even if you can only see it from a distance, it is better than only seeing it in your dreams.
Guo Dong was not only officially recognized as the uncle of the state by Qin Shihuang himself, but he also won the position of general because of his five great achievements.
The position of a true general!
"My uncle has five great achievements, and Lanchi rescued her. This is one of his great achievements. When Concubine Li entered the Qin Dynasty, she was attacked by rebels. When my uncle saw injustice on the road, he helped the Meng army repel the rebels and even killed the rebel general.
, this is the second great merit; Concubine Li and General Meng Tian stumbled and fell down the cliff, and were saved by the uncle of the country, which is the third great merit; escorting Concubine Li and General Meng back to Xianyang safely, this is the fourth great merit; not avoiding
In the face of the plague, he risked his life to go to the palace to save Concubine Li. This is the fifth great achievement!"
Qin Shihuang personally praised his merits. There were not many people in the Qin Dynasty who were so honored. Moreover, these achievements were all very high. Therefore, when Qin Shihuang announced the reward for Guo Dong, everyone felt that he had been rewarded.
Heavy, but no one objected.
"It just so happens that Wang Li Aiqing will soon go to Northern Xinjiang to guard the border and prepare for Hu. There is no suitable candidate for the vacant Xianyang garrison general position. If there are uncles guarding Xianyang, there will be Meng and Wang.
When the general is stationed at the border, I will definitely feel more at ease!"
The general who defended Xianyang? The vacancy left by Wang Li?
Guo Dong raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he had done quite well during this period of time. This was a position that he had never dared to hope for!
Although he and Yi Xiaochuan are both generals, there is no comparison between the two.
Yi Xiaochuan is one of the generals guarding the palace, with only three to five hundred men or less under his command, while Guo Dong is the general guarding Xianyang City. In addition to a group of forbidden troops in the palace, the entire Xianyang and surrounding areas
All the troops and horses in the county are under his control. There are at least tens of thousands or even more than one hundred thousand troops and horses, and they are definitely one of the most powerful armies in the Qin Dynasty!
It can be said that Yi Xiaochuan is the guard battalion commander of the State Council, while Guo Dong is the commander of the Capital Military Region. According to the familiar grade classification during the Tang and Song Dynasties, Yi Xiaochuan will be a fifth-grade or a fifth-grade captain.
Or a miscellaneous general, and even if Guo Dong can't get into the second rank, he will definitely not fall into the ranks of the third rank. The gap between the two is so big!
"Your Majesty, I completely agree with your Majesty's decision, and I have no objection to my uncle taking this position. However, I have never seen my uncle's skills with my own eyes, and I don't know whether my uncle can take on the important task of guarding your majesty. Therefore, I boldly want to ask your majesty for your permission.
The general is allowed to compete with my uncle in front of the palace, so that I can go north with peace of mind!"
However, for such an important position, some people naturally felt that Qin Shihuang's reward was a bit excessive, so some people hesitated for a moment and immediately stood up.
This person is none other than the predecessor, or can be said to be the current Xianyang garrison general Wang Li, a member of the Qin military family, a member of the Wang family who is higher than the Meng family where Meng Tian belongs. He is the same as Bai Qi, Lian Po, and Li Mu.
The four famous generals of the Warring States Period, the grandson of Qin General Wang Jian who led the army to overthrow the Yan Kingdom, led the army to overthrow the remaining five countries except the weakest Han, and made unparalleled contributions to Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six countries.
Son of Ben!
If someone else stood up at this time, everyone would think that he or his party members were spying on this position, or that they wanted to kill Guo Dong or even Qin Shihuang's majesty. Only Wang Li would stand up and no one would
I would suspect that he has other motives.
Because with his status and the status of the Wang family, these simply do not exist.
What's more, Wang Li would stand up because Qin Shihuang just gave him a look, indicating that he did so in order to dispel other people's doubts.
"That's good! I haven't seen my uncle's bravery in some time. After the last glimpse of Lanchi, I haven't seen him again until now. I miss him very much! Okay, I'm sure!
Come, please move outside the palace and order someone to fetch the weapons of General Wang and Uncle Guo!"
At this point, Qin Shihuang suddenly thought: "By the way, uncle, I wonder where the giant sword and shield you used when you were in Lanchi are? Today, I can open the eyes of all my loved ones and get to know what they are."
Become an unparalleled warrior!"
"Back to Your Majesty, the sword and shield are being guarded by the guard general at the second palace gate."
"Okay, here comes someone, quickly order someone to get it!"
Because Guo Dong's weapon was too large and heavy, it was seized at the second palace gate. However, Wang Li's sword was guarded by the guards outside the main hall. When he went out, he took it from the shelf where the military attache's sword was placed.
