General Qin

General Zhao Tuo won a great victory in the south. The Qin army captured the entire territory of Xiou and killed Alamo, the king of Xiou. As soon as the news came back to Xianyang, it immediately caused a sensation.

Compared with South Vietnam and Minyue, the Qin people pay more attention to Xiou. This is because the last time the Qin army conquered Baiyue in the south, the Qin general Tu Sui was killed by the Ou people, and tens of thousands of Qin soldiers died in Ou.

Xiou was the shame of the Qin army, and it was also the land that the emperor vowed to conquer in anger.

Zhao Tuo conquered Xiou in the south. In addition to expanding the territory, Zhao Tuo also allowed the emperor to avenge his great hatred.

The First Emperor was naturally overjoyed and said "good" three times in the court.

Such good news made him less depressed and angry because of the Wusun incident.

On the day after receiving the victory news, the First Emperor issued an edict to the whole world for three days, announcing to the heads of Guizhou all over the world that this southern expedition was a great victory.

At the same time, he also announced rewards and rewards for the soldiers of the Southern Expedition Army.

The annihilation of the main force in Xiou and the killing of Cao Shen and Han Xin, the king of Xiou Alamo, were great achievements. The emperor named them in the edict and commended them, and each was given a title and money.

Cao Shen was the chief of the right concubine and was rewarded with millions of dollars.

Han Xin overtook the imperial concubine and became the chief of Zuo Shu, and was given five hundred thousand in money.

Countless people were surprised and had many thoughts in their hearts.

During the several years that Han Xin was in Xianyang, he was always noticed by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

These ministers valued Han Xin mainly because Han Xin was a disciple of Zhao Tuo.

It is said that the Marquis of Wugong not only personally passed down military strategies to this disciple, but also often took Han Xin with him when he went out to do things, which shows that the Marquis of Wugong favored this disciple.

They didn't expect that Han Xin was really a capable person.

"Twenty-year-old Lord Qing, with such age and achievements, no one in our Qin country can compare with Han Xin except the martial arts lord, right?"

"Yes, it is true that like a teacher, like a disciple. Han Xin can become Zuo Shu Zhang at the age of twenty, and there is a martial arts lord to protect him. This boy will definitely have a bright future in the future."

"Marriage!"

"We don't dare to compete with the emperor for a son-in-law, but we can't miss this martial arts lord's disciple!"

For a time, people were in turmoil, and Han Xin became the favorite among the second generation of the Qin Dynasty.

In Xianyang City, big families such as the Xin family, the Feng family, the Yang family, the Bai family, and the Sima family have all begun to think about marrying Han Xin. Who doesn't want a son-in-law like a martial arts lord in his family? The whole family became prosperous.

Just because the master and apprentice of Wugong Hou were not in Xianyang, it was difficult for the major clans to make a move for a while. They could only wait for the end of the southern expedition to make a good marriage for their own families.

There are people who are happy to make friends, and there are naturally people who are unhappy about it.

"Han Xin enjoyed all the benefits in the army just because he was a disciple of Marquis Wugong. The credit for killing King Xiou might have been given to him by others."

"Yes, this guy didn't even have a title before he went to the battlefield. Suddenly he captured a Nanyue king. Now he and others annihilated the main force of Xiou and killed the king of Xiou. You said that he really did these things by himself. I can't believe it. If you don’t believe it, it must be that the Marquis of Martial Arts cultivated him intentionally and gave all the benefits to Han Xin.”

"Hmph, we all understand this kind of trick."

The second generation of public officials headed by Li Yu were naturally dissatisfied with Han Xin, a rookie who suddenly became famous, and questioned Han Xin's achievements.

This kind of giving credit is not uncommon in the military. It is an unspoken rule of second-generation gold plating.

Xianyang is too far from Xiou. Thousands of miles away makes the transmission of news very difficult, so there are many people who can talk.

However, they only dared to express their inner dissatisfaction to Han Xin. Facing another, brighter star, no one dared to say anything.

"Martial Lord Zhao Tuo conquered Xi'ou and avenged our country. He specially granted food to thousands of households in the city, millions of money, and thousands of acres of land."

"His son, Zhao Che, the fifth official, was honored by his father. He was given a first-level title and became the chief of Zuo Shu."

Compared with the previous situation where Zhao Tuo granted the fifth-level viscount after annihilating Minyue and the fourth-level viscount after capturing South Vietnam, this time the emperor only granted Zhao Che the first-level title.

But this level is even more important than the previous nine levels of title.

Zuo Shuchang is a minister. From a doctor to a minister, it is a qualitative leap.

Even though the military meritorious titles of the Qin State have been somewhat devalued due to too many meritorious services, the title of Zuo Shuchang can still serve as a high-ranking official in the county and make people look up to him.

Zhao Che already had such a title when he was only eight years old, already surpassing 99% of the second-generation Gongqings. There is probably only a certain Marquis Lun whose father died in Xianyang City who can be better than him.

In addition to the title and reward, the overjoyed First Emperor also held a family banquet to celebrate to express his happiness.

When the eldest princess Ying Yinman took her son and daughter into the carriage and prepared to go to Qin Palace for the banquet, she gave her son and daughter some instructions again.

The main thing is about palace etiquette. The three of them, mother and son, don't have much time in the palace, that is, they only go to the palace to pay respects to the emperor during the Chinese New Year and festivals, so Ying Yinman is a little worried that his children will forget the etiquette and make some jokes. .

"Don't worry, mother. Mr. Zhang has said that you must be polite, so you must be upright. I have learned etiquette from Mr. Zhang, and I will not talk or act carelessly."

Hearing Xiao Zhaoche's words, Ying Yinman smiled and said: "I forgot that your husband is a disciple of Xun Qing. Confucianism values ​​etiquette, and these are taught well."

"Yes, sir, he knows a lot of things. But he always said that my father knew more than him, saying that my father was the most knowledgeable person in the world. But I don't quite remember what my father said. Mother, is my father really very knowledgeable? "

Zhao Che tilted his head and looked at Ying Yinman.

When Zhao Tuo went on the expedition, he was only five years old. Three years passed by and many memories were unclear.

Zhao Yun next to her was even more confused and said: "What is my father like? I don't even know what my father looks like!"

"He looks ordinary, there's nothing much to say about him."

Ying Yinman held her daughter in her arms and muttered, then turned to Zhao Che and said: "Your father does know a lot. He said he learned it from the fragments of Gongshu. When he comes back, I will ask him to Teach you the method of public transport, it can be regarded as family knowledge."

"Okay, okay, sir, he also said that Gongshu Fragment is a wonderful book, it covers everything, I must learn it!"

Zhao Che clapped his hands happily.

When Ying Yinman heard the words "all-inclusive", she didn't know what she thought of, and a red cloud flew up on her face.

If she remembered correctly, there was some knowledge not suitable for children in the scraps of Gongshu.

Thinking of this, Ying Yinman's eyes moistened a little, and the figure of that person appeared in his mind.

Longing grows in my heart.

The carriage of the Wugong Marquis Mansion stopped outside the Qin Palace. When the mother and son got off the carriage, they happened to meet Prince Fusu arriving with his family.

"Chief Zuo! Haha, there is a young concubine here!"

When Fusu saw Zhao Che and his son, he came over laughing.

Crown Princess Li Shu led the five-year-old Qiming behind and paced back.

"uncle!"

When Zhao Che saw Fusu, he immediately ran up with a smile.

"I've met the emperor's brother and his wife."

Ying Yinman led her daughter forward and saluted Fusu and Li Shu.

Li Shu returned the gift and said to her son beside her: "Qiming, come and see your aunt."

"aunt."

Qiming shouted softly.

Ying Yinman praised: "Qiming is so good."

"She's just a bit shy, not as good as your Che'er and Yun'er. Oh, it's been a long time since I last saw Yun'er. She's getting better and better as time goes by. She will be a stunning beauty in the future. Qiming, I'm going to accompany you Yun'er later. Sister, let’s have some fun for a while.”

Li Shu smiled and replied, looking at Zhao Yun with a strange look.

Ying Yinman's eyelids twitched, thinking of the marriage in the past.

She stepped forward, smiled and changed the topic to tonight's banquet.

At this time, Xiao Zhao Che was telling Fu Su a poem he had just learned from Zhang Cang.

"I'm seeing my uncle off and I'm going to Weiyang. Why should I give it to me? I'm taking a yellow carriage. I'm seeing my uncle off, and I've been thinking about it for a long time. Why should I give it to me? A beautiful rose and jade pendant."

Xiao Zhao Che laughed happily: "When I learned this poem from my husband, I thought of my uncle. Uncle, I miss you so much. I don't have a jade pendant to give you, so I will give you this poem!"

Fusu was startled, then laughed and said: "What a poem by Qin Feng. Xiao Che'er, since you gave me a poem, I have to return the gift. You just happened to be newly promoted to Zuo Shuchang. Let me think about it. , what gifts should I give you?"

The uncle and nephew talked happily, but Li Shu beside them felt a little uncomfortable.

She is the daughter of Li Si. She has been educated since she was a child and knows allusions to poetry.

"Qin Feng Weiyang" sung by Zhao Che expresses the deep friendship between nephews and uncles, and there is nothing wrong with using it between nephews and uncles.

But if Li Shu remembers correctly, this poem was written by Qin Kanggong, the king of Qin, when he was bidding farewell to his uncle Jin Wengong Chong'er when he returned home.

Although times are different, it cannot be copied mechanically, and it is impossible to strictly require children to use it in every occasion when reciting poetry.

Fusu, who is proficient in "Poetry", doesn't care much and only values ​​the friendship.

Li Shu is very sensitive.

Is this child comparing himself to the king of Qin?
