Chapter 258 You Must Take Good Care of Your Brain (For Hall Master Carrot Ye 3/3)(1/3)
The title "Jun" was frequently used during the Warring States Period.
The most famous are the Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period, followed by Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an.
When the Qin State became more and more powerful, in order to win over talents, the other six countries recruited virtuous ministers and generals on a large scale and gave them the most generous rewards.
And becoming a king is one of the many rewards.
As a result, the gold content of the title is getting lower and lower.
After the Qin State unified the six kingdoms, the highest title was Chehou, and Wang Jian, as the greatest contributor to the unification of the six kingdoms, was granted the title of Marquis of Wucheng, with a seat in thirteen counties of Pinyang, and his descendants could inherit the title.
But Feng Jun never appeared again.
Now that the First Emperor suddenly named Zhao Kun Lord of Li An, does this prove that the First Emperor's mentality has begun to change?
Or maybe the First Emperor was asking for directions?
This kind of reward does not mean that Zhao Kun is not worthy of having it. Just offering sweet potatoes and potatoes is enough to make him a marquis and a general. What's more, the Farming Law, a national policy that changes the fate of the country, can be listed separately as a marquis.
only......
Is this too fast?
Zhao Kun was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was already a highly respected official. Wouldn't he only be the prince in the future?
If the First Emperor wants Zhao Kun to be the crown prince, how should the eldest son Fusu and the eighteenth son Hu Hai face it?
Thinking of this, all the ministers couldn't help but look at Feng Quji.
Now that Li Si is not in the court, they can only wait and see if Feng is gone.
But Feng Quji is also worried now...
Although he had already expected that the First Emperor would award a reward beyond the standard, he still did not expect that the reward would be so outrageous.
There is nothing wrong with being granted the title of Marquis. The key is the position of Captain of the Guard, which is an official position with real power.
Moreover, being in charge of the imperial army is outrageous!
If Young Master Kun intends to rebel, then this forbidden army will definitely be a weapon.
When Lao Ai rebelled, Chun Shenjun and others failed to obtain the Forbidden Army Tiger Talisman, leading to the failure of the rebellion.
But now the First Emperor actually handed over the imperial army to Zhao Kun. How much trust and favor does this show?
Originally, Feng Quji wanted to stand up and say that the enfeoffment of Handan was against national law, but the First Emperor's decree to let Zhao Kun take charge of the imperial army made him feel cold and hesitant to speak out.
Seeing the 'boss' not speaking for a long time, the ministers felt very unsure, but they did not dare to stand up and give advice.
Just like that, the entire court fell into strange silence after Zhao Gao finished reading the imperial edict.
In fact, not only were they silent, Zhao Kun, who was standing in the center of the hall, was also silent.
Although he knew that he had made great contributions, this set of rewards from the First Emperor was obviously beyond his expectation.
Therefore, whether to accept this decree or not has become the most difficult thing for him at the moment.
Take it, the First Emperor will definitely value himself very much in the future, maybe he can kill Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, and still be able to play as the Second Emperor of Qin.
But......
This would be a disservice to my adoptive father's great ambitions.
His adoptive father was very kind to him, and he was his biological father. How could a son ignore his father?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kun frowned, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hands toward the main hall and said, "My father is so grateful for the reward, but can I add more to this reward?"
Buzz——
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall roared.
When the ministers heard this, they were like lightning struck.
Damn it!
What's happening?
With such a generous reward, Young Master Kun actually... actually wanted to seal it!
How could there be such a shameless person in the world!
The originally silent courtiers on both sides of the hall felt as if their minds were spinning at this moment, as if they were stuck in a downtime.
And Ying Zheng, who was sitting behind the screen, also felt the corner of his mouth twitching suddenly.
Good boy!
Straightforward enough!
Damn this... Do you want me to make you the crown prince?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng suddenly hesitated.
To be honest, Zhao Kun is the candidate in his heart for the crown prince, but it is obviously inappropriate to grant him the title of crown prince now. After all, Li Anjun's reward has exceeded the standard. If he grants the title of crown prince again, the courtiers will be furious.
When the crowd becomes angry and angry, it will be really difficult to deal with it.
Why.....
You brat, why do you always give me problems?
Sighing in his heart, Ying Zheng calmed down his emotions, calmed down, and then raised his hand to write a line of words and handed it to Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao looked at Zhao Kun with complicated eyes, then respectfully took Ying Zheng's handkerchief, with a forced smile, and said: "Young master, if you want to add something, just say it!"
As soon as these words came out, the heads of the ministers felt as if they had been hit hard with a hammer.
I just felt dizzy and a little overwhelmed.
Oh my god!
My Majesty!
Aren't you usually a powerful and domineering person?
Why have you become so gentle today?
Why don't you get angry with such rebellious words?
Feeling the resentful looks of the ministers, Zhao Kun touched his nose with some embarrassment, and then smiled and said with cupped hands: "This is my father. My son is still young and likes mountains, rivers and lakes. I hope my father will be merciful and allow me to do so."
I am free to travel around the prefectures and counties of Great Qin and visit our territory of Great Qin!"
Um?
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Even Ying Zheng was in a daze.
Free travel to various counties in Daqin?
Could it be that this kid wants to hunt around the world like me?
wrong!
This guy must have other ideas!
but......
If he just wants to be free, at his age, there seems to be nothing wrong with him.
After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng wrote a few more lines and handed them to Zhao Gao.
But I heard Zhao Gao read: "Jun Li An, your Majesty hopes that you will make some contributions to the Great Qin. Since you want to visit the territory of the Great Qin, your Majesty will allow you to hunt for the country."
"However." At this point, the conversation changed and he continued: "Please remember, Mr. Li An, that you are a bloodline of the Ying Qin royal family, and you should serve the Ying Qin royal family. You must not act recklessly, nor be arrogant and pervert the law;
Li is your mother's surname, and His Majesty hopes that you will inherit your mother's virtues, and An means that you will be safe and free from illness and disaster. This is the blessing of the Qin Dynasty!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao felt tired and his mind gradually became confused.
Now he understood that neither Master Fusu nor Master Hu Hai had a chance.
As long as he returns from the eastern tour, Zhao Kun will be named the prince.
The meaning between the lines is already obvious.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao subconsciously looked at Feng Quji, only to see Feng Quji dumbfounded, as if he didn't hear anything.
The other ministers looked at each other in confusion.
Only Zhao Kun breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the First Emperor would not agree to his request.
Although I don't understand why the First Emperor suddenly favored him so much, hunting for the country is definitely a good reward.
As we all know, the second Qin Dynasty in history easily killed his brothers and sisters. The reason was that the First Emperor had ordered that the children of the royal family were not allowed to leave Xianyang without permission.
This made it impossible for the princes and princesses to escape even if they wanted to.
Zhao Kun wants to be free. Although it seems a bit useless, it may be of great use at critical moments.
"Sir, why are you still standing there? Take the order quickly!"
Wang Li, who was standing on the left side of the main hall, whispered to Zhao Kun.
To be continued...
