With the Famous Name of the Three Kingdoms

"Damn meow, is this the rhythm of trying to get cheap and be good?"

After the players were amazed, they couldn't help but think so. After all, Qin Xiaobai used to do this kind of thing...

Empress Dowager He was also taken aback, thinking that Qin Xiaobai wanted to resign three times to show his modesty.

In ancient times, no matter ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, or conferred the title of king or duke, according to the usual practice, one had to decline again and again to show humility.

But then Qin Xiaobai extinguished Empress Dowager He's conjecture, saying that he really opposed Feng Gong.

This made everyone in the court hall amazed and stunned. Just kidding, this is Duke Feng. Qin Xiaobai picked up such a huge bargain for nothing, and he didn't want it...

"The Marquis of Guangwu is high-spirited and virtuous, and I admire him."

Seeing this scene, many important officials of the Han Dynasty expressed their appreciation for Qin Xiaobai one after another, thinking that Qin Xiaobai's refusal to be named Duke was a sign of integrity, and their affection for Qin Xiaobai increased greatly.

As for Yuan Shao, Ding Yuan, Hengxing Tianxia, ​​Lin Nantian, Chu Kuangge, and the rest of the players and civil and military officials, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

If Qin Xiaobai is really made public, he will definitely surpass all officials. Although they may not be hostile to Qin Xiaobai, they will always feel threatened when their power soars, so they will feel relieved .

...

Qin Xiaobai still looked calm. The reason why he tried his best to get Dong Zhuo to agree, but he himself opposed the matter of enfeoffment, was because Shangguan Wan'er suggested him a plan to retreat.

After Qin Xiaobai heard about this plan, he asked at that time: "Since Dong Zhuo finally agrees, the duke will naturally be his. Do we still need to retreat as an advance? If we retreat again, the great duke will be gone."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and shook her head and said: "If the matter goes to a certain stage, it is true that you can be made a duke, but such a forced duke will definitely be envied by all civil and military officials.

What's more, if you become a duke and start this precedent, then when all the heroes will rise together in the future. The dukes in the world are bound to be flooded like the princes across the river. At that time, how effective can you, the duke, be? "

Qin Xiaobai couldn't help nodding his head when he heard Wan'er's words, it was indeed the case. You must know that in the Han Dynasty, except for relatives, only those with great military exploits could be named marquises. If you don't see Li Guang's outstanding military exploits, it is difficult to be named a marquis.

By the end of the Han Dynasty, the Marquis basically started to rot,

Anyone with a little military exploits can be named a marquis, and it was the Three Kingdoms period. There are even more marquises, and those who can count are basically named marquises.

Seeing Qin Xiaobai's quick realization, Shangguan Wan'er spoke again and said, "It's better to retreat as an advance and refuse the duke. When all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty recommend you as duke, but you refuse, the whole world will recite it, then Even if there is no reality of a duke, there must be a name of a duke."

"The defending king!"

Qin Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of this word. To be precise, he should be regarded as the defending prince.

The benefits of Feng Gong are nothing more than three points. Inheritance, food and fame.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was about to fall, so Qin Xiaobai would naturally not ask Yao Yao to pass on a title to his descendants.

Qin Xiaobai really wanted Shicheng, but if he was made a duke, the Shicheng would range from a few counties to a single county. Judging from the strength of Queen Mother He's wooing him, it was more likely to be the latter.

But now that he has the treasures of the permanent attendant and has looted the treasury, he is not short of small money for the time being, so he can also let go of food.

The last thing is fame, if you become the defending prince. Then fame is not an issue, and it may even be higher.

The most important thing is that Qin Xiaobai is not a duke, so he did not set a precedent for this. Otherwise, it is impossible to seal the Duke, at least it is absolutely impossible during the period when the heroes are competing for the throne.

You must know that Cao Cao was extremely difficult to unify the north and want to be named Wei Gong back then. He was opposed by countless people and even forced to death his chief minister Xun Yu.

In this case, no one in the world can surpass Qin Xiaobai in terms of title. This is the defending prince.

Moreover, even if Qin Xiaobai dismissed the duke position, the imperial court would definitely give him another reward.

And even if the reward is not as good as the Duke's position, it will definitely not be much weaker, after all, Qin Xiaobai's credit lies there.

At that time, as the defending Duke, there will be another reward of a not-weak Duke. There is simply nothing more killing two birds with one stone than this.

So Qin Xiaobai naturally immediately followed the advice and accepted Shangguan Wan'er's suggestion.

...

Sure enough, seeing that Qin Xiaobai was determined to resign from the position of duke, Empress Dowager He had no choice but to accept it, and proposed a new reward for Qin Xiaobai.

It's just that this award is not easy to draw up, and it is obvious that no more titles can be awarded.

However, civil positions are limited by prestige. Qin Xiaobai’s Northern Saidu Protectorate was originally a fifth-rank prefect, but after He Jin’s previous promotion and award, he was already mentioned to be at the same level as a third-rank governor. .

The only thing left that can be rewarded is the military position.

Now Qin Xiaobai's military position is the general of Zhenbei, which belongs to the list of the four towns.

"The four expeditions and the four towns are all Congyipin. Although they are famous, they are actually almost the same."

Empress Dowager He was obviously dissatisfied with this reward, she shook her head and said.

"The Marquis of Guangwu can be the four generals." Situ Wangyun came out and suggested.

All the important officials of the imperial court nodded when they heard the words. The four generals in the front, back, left, and left are more than Jiuqing, and Qin Xiaobai's achievements are enough to take responsibility.

Empress Dowager He still thought it wasn't big enough, so she asked, "After the death of Brother Ai's family, will the position of General be vacated?"

"Wow..."

All the officials were amazed, Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao's eyes were even more blazing.

Just kidding, this is the general who is above the Sangong and in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, the real power faction with one person under one man and over ten thousand people.

Even in terms of actual authority, it may be higher than the duke's position, so how can they not be tempted.

Now hearing what Empress Dowager He meant, it seemed that Qin Xiaobai was going to be made a general, which made their fiery eyes fixed on Qin Xiaobai.

"The general's bones are not cold, and there is no one to fill his position." Qin Xiaobai said again at this time.

He was very happy that the Empress Dowager He trusted him so much, but the Empress Dowager He was too lacking in politics, and the position of a general could not be rewarded casually, let alone when Dong Zhuo was in control of the government.

If he really accepted it at this time, the award of the most powerful official in the Eastern Han Dynasty, not to mention civil and military officials, I am afraid that even Dong Zhuo, who wanted to divide the Bingzhou Group and win him over, would not be able to tolerate it.

There will inevitably be countless people who will jump out to oppose him. When the time comes, he will not be able to get the position of the general, but he will become the target of public criticism.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager He has no political background, but she is not stupid. After hearing Qin Xiaobai's words, she also realized this. Although she really wanted to give Qin Xiaobai real power as soon as possible, she was obviously too hasty now.

So Empress Dowager He took a compromise and said: "What Aiqing said is very true. Since no one can take the position of General, how about making Aiqing the Hussar General on behalf of Your Majesty?" (To be continued.)
