Chapter Thirty-Third
On that day, Li Mu and others were directly introduced to the palace by Ying Zheng, and they were rewarded based on their merits. Meng Aoyin had made great achievements, not only removing Pang Nuan, blocking Zhao's 100,000-strong army, but also defeating the Six Kingdoms. After the alliance, he cut off the arm of Zhao State and left behind, so he wrote a letter to become the king, commanded the Qin State's 100,000 troops and horses, took the post of Shangzao, fed 600 households, and died of 800 shi of corn. Taiyuan was granted land for him. Wang Jian made his first appearance in this war. He was granted the title of Weiwei, one of the Nine Great Ministers, in charge of the Commander of the Guards. The second position of Sima Ling was to feed 600 households and earn 450 shi of corn per year. However, Li Mu was still granted the title of Lord Wu'an, except for five of his subordinates. In addition to thousands of elite soldiers, Ying Zheng assigned another 60,000 troops to his command. When Li Muchu heard about the reward, he was shocked. He originally thought that he would surrender to Qin this time. Although he was forced by the situation, he still deserved it. People discriminate against his own elite soldiers. Generally speaking, according to the suspicion of the king, they should be dispersed by him and then integrated into other generals. Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng was so generous. Not only was he not afraid of his rebellion and trouble, not only did he not disperse his soldiers , but instead allocated tens of thousands more troops to his command.
At this time, Li Mu felt a sense of gratitude in his heart, and he hurriedly stepped forward to politely refuse. He had been in Zhao for several years, but he had not yet been trusted by the king and was given the title of Lord Wu'an. This Lord Wu'an was originally Bai Bai, the general of the former Qin Dynasty. However, before he could go to plead guilty, Lu Buwei on the other end was extremely dissatisfied and stood up: "The king is young, it is inevitable There is something careless about the work, but the title of Lord Wu'an cannot be given to others without authorization. Although General Li is good at conquering and fighting, he has only been in Qin for a short period of time and has not made any great achievements. Your Majesty's move is rash!"
Lu Buwei has always been powerful and extremely domineering, and it was not a once or twice time for him to deny Ying Zheng face on the spot. At this time, Ying Zheng was already twenty years old, but he was still so arrogant, which was really too arrogant. Zhao Gaoyuan Originally preparing to receive the canonization signaled by Ying Zheng, when Lu Buwei stood up and spoke, everyone fell silent, and the palace suddenly became deathly quiet. Li Mu felt calm in his heart. He had expected this situation a long time ago. It was abnormal for the Qin State not to be ostracized by others. He did not take it seriously. He stood up and bowed to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I am so kind to you. Li Mu's death is not enough to repay you. However, what Prime Minister Lu said is true. I have just come." In the Qin State, I have not yet made any achievements, so these rewards are too heavy, and I dare not accept them."
Ying Zheng was not angry when Lu Buwei came out of the queue. Instead, he sneered in his heart. He accidentally looked at Lao Ai, who was standing in a row and was wearing a waiter's clothes. He couldn't hide the jealous and anxious look on his face. It was obvious that he had been there for so long. The reward has not yet fallen to him, but he can't wait any longer. Ying Zheng glanced at him, narrowed his eyes, and then glanced at Lu Buwei. At that moment, Lao Ai understood in his heart that he had hated Lu Buwei for a long time, and he was in Lu Buwei's house. , this person despised him too much, treating him as a funny person to please. Although Lao Ai was hindered by the situation, he wanted to please and be a good person, but in his heart, he hated others for despising him. Now that he has finally gained power, there is no reason not to be arrogant. , What's more, Lu Buwei is talkative at this time, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the king has been impatient with him for a long time. Lao Ai has devoted himself to pleasing Ying Zheng to gain glory and wealth. When he saw Ying Zheng's face, he suddenly jumped out: "Bold Lu Buwei! In the heart of the king You have made your own decision, why should you wait to say more? You are just a minister, and you are under the king, but you dare to question the king's decision, isn't it the following offense?"
This person had long hated Lu Buwei for causing trouble. He was originally waiting for Ying Zheng to reward him, but he was already very dissatisfied when it was Li Mu's turn. Unexpectedly, Lu Buwei intervened. What made Lao Ai even more frightened was that Lu Buwei interrupted Li Mu.
He had hated himself for a long time when it was his turn to award the reward. Maybe Lu Buwei would get into trouble when it was his turn to award the reward. At this time, it would be better to use this incident to put a big hat on him. When it was his turn to award the reward,
Things will not go wrong!
Although he was originally a little smart, he was inevitably a little careless when he succeeded. With such a loud shout, Lu Buwei's eyes were split. He wished he could immediately pull out the long sword from his waist and chop the villain to death with one strike.
The hatred in his heart! Lu Buwei's hatred value was quickly transferred. He didn't care about dealing with Ying Zheng. Instead, he hated Lao Ai. Lao Ai was originally not tolerated by him because of his own background, and now because of Zhao Ji
The reason is that the situation between the two has long been tense, and Lao Ai has a desire to fight for power. How can he be tolerated by Lu Buwei? His desire to kill him becomes stronger and stronger. At this time, he finally suppressed all the murderous intentions in his heart.
When Li Mu saw that the person he was talking to was Lao Ai, he felt not only unappreciative, but also hating him. He wanted to step forward and refuse Ying Zheng's favor again, but Ying Zheng gave him a look with his eyes.
An Wuzao ordered Zhao Gao to continue to read the title. Not surprisingly, Lao Ai was granted the title of Chief of Staff due to his meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, and was given the title of Shanyang County as his food guard.
A county in Hexi granted him a land grant. Lao Ai's face lit up when he heard this. At this time, the Qin State's standards for enfeoffing monarchs were very strict. It can be seen just by looking at the few people in the court who have nothing to do. Lu Buwei is still
When I spent all my wealth and planned many things for Ying Chu, I could only get a position as a Wenxin candidate. This shows how difficult it is to get this position. However, I didn't expect that I just got an advantage and even got injured.
I didn't even get one, so I got such a waiting position for nothing, and I was so excited that I went crazy.
The opposite of Lao Ai's mood was that Lu Buwei was so angry that his eyes were red. For a villain like Lao Ai, Ying Zheng actually let him sit on an equal footing with him. If it weren't for the fact that he had no real power in his hands and was just a false name, it would have been nothing.
He is on par with himself. Lu Buwei is so arrogant and arrogant, how can he bear this. Lao Ai is just the face of the Queen Mother, and a fake waiter can get to his current status, which further strengthens his determination to kill Lao Ai.
Killing intent rolled in his heart, but Lao Ai was immersed in joy and didn't notice it. Ying Zheng looked in his eyes and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. The two finally officially started to fight. As long as Lu Buwei had murderous intent towards Lao Ai, from then on
He could sit back and relax, just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. It was considered that he had eliminated two of his most serious worries, and it was rare to see a smile on his face at the moment.
After Lao Ai, the next step was to reward the three armies except for Meng Ao and others. Of course, Zhang Tang and others also made great contributions. After years of depression, this general finally did one thing right in his lifetime.
It can be regarded as a formal appearance in front of Ying Zheng. He has been promoted to two levels of officialdom, and has been promoted to one level of nobility. Needless to say, the scenery is infinite. The rest of the people, as long as they went on this expedition and did not participate in the Chengqiao Rebellion, will be promoted to nobility.
Level one.
After Chengqiao rebelled, he took away the title of Lord of Chang'an. Yingzheng deprived Chengqiao of his name and gave him the name Chengqiao. The irony is self-evident.
After the three armies rewarded him, Li Mu and Ying Zheng privately ordered him to take advantage of the fact that everyone was drinking happily outside the main hall of Zhang Ming Palace. He was already so drunk that he didn't know what year it was when he came to the back hall of Zhang Tai Palace. Ying Zheng washed away at this time.
Full of alcohol, he regained his calm and clear image. This was the first time that Li Mu formally paid homage to this young and indifferent king in private. He was young and handsome, tall and erect, with a majestic appearance. He raised his arms and legs with great majesty.
There is no need to decorate the room or show off the brilliance with the high-ranking robes. He is naturally majestic. This magnanimity alone is enough to make Li Mu admire him for being able to win over Meng Ao at such a young age.
Talented people are used by him. Based on this, when Li Mu salutes, he can be regarded as respectful from the bottom of his heart.
"Zheng has taken the liberty of calling you here because he wants to entrust you with important matters." Ying Zheng asked someone to boil hot tea and placed it in front of Li Mu's case. Without any extra courtesy, he went straight to the point: "Although Zheng said that I would grant you the title of Lord Wu'an."
, But your talent is not just that, so you have to consider one or two things when it comes to the fiefdom."
Li Mugang stood up from the ground. When he heard this, he almost knelt down again. He frowned and subconsciously refused. Being named Wu'an Lord by the King of Qin was enough to attract people's attention. He was not for the Qin State.
He got this title for his meritorious service, but he was a surrendered rebel. The treatment was too generous. Li Mu was afraid that the tree would attract attention and attract attention. To be honest, he didn't want the title of Lord Wu'an. Although the title was rare, but
At this time, he only wanted revenge, and did not take his fame and glory seriously. Ying Zheng naturally saw his face, and he unhurriedly spread out the scroll in his hand and signaled to Zhao Gao
He handed it over to Li Mu.
Seeing Ying Zheng's face, before Li Mu could say anything, his attention was attracted by the pattern drawn with a cinnabar pen on the map, and his face suddenly showed excitement. A hint of excitement appeared at the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth.
With small smile lines, his face was originally very cold, but the look was born from his heart. At this time, he was not the original Qin Shihuang in history. Therefore, although there was a haze between his eyebrows, it would not be intimidating, but rather appeared.
Showing a trace of uprightness and majesty, he smiled softly at this time, and his indifference also revealed infinite nobility. Although he was wearing simple robes, he could not help but make people feel sincere. He gently raised the bronze cup and took a sip.
Taking a sip of the hot drink, the copper ring held by the two beasts on the cup made a clear sound due to his movements. Ying Zheng saw that Li Mu was so excited that his body was shaking, and then he said casually: "Here is Handan City, where political ideas and even
This is your old country, and you are a person who values affection and righteousness. I shouldn’t have used this place as your fiefdom and let you work hard, but..."
Before Ying Zheng finished speaking, Li Mu had already knocked his head heavily on the ground, sighed, and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, I am so kind to you, and I am so shameless. I beg your Majesty to grant this place as my fiefdom. I will swear to my death in the future."
To repay the kindness of your Majesty!" His voice trembled with excitement. Originally, Li Mu was indifferent to fame and fortune and was not moved by Ying Zheng's inducements. However, what Ying Zheng offered as a fief was Zhao, whom he had invested countless efforts in his life.
The capital of the country is Handan. He still remembers the scene when he led the soldiers to guard Handan. Although Handan City has been burned down by a fire, it has a different meaning in Li Mu's heart. Therefore, Li Mu willingly eats the bait hung by Ying Zheng.
, and I was extremely grateful to eat it.
He originally brought five thousand elite soldiers, but due to the situation, he had to surrender to the Qin State, but the pride in Li Mu's heart did not allow him to work for the Qin State while receiving rewards from the original enemy country.
Suffering, but this time is different! If Ying Zheng really takes Handan City as his fiefdom, even though Handan City is just a dead city now, it is enough to make Li Mu devote his life to repaying Ying Zheng's kindness and be willing to fight to the death for his vanguard.
If the soldiers knew that they could return to their old capital, they would probably give up their hearts to the King of Qin. Even if they knew that this was Ying Zheng's move to win people's hearts, everyone would probably want to die for him!
Li Mu gratefully accepted Ying Zheng's reward, and carefully placed the map as close to his chest as a treasure. Ying Zheng looked at his face, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Se, this plan of his was just and aboveboard, and he did not hide any secrets. Even if Li Mu knew his plan, he would be very grateful to him. Being loyal and loyal, being able to subdue this general who is not inferior to Bai Qi's talent, Ying Zheng is now considered another
After receiving the reward, Li Mu sat down and talked with Ying Zheng for a while. Only then did he learn why Meng Ao was so loyal to Ying Zheng. Such an upright person did not originally look like a ruthless person.
, but he was willing to bear the infamy for him without hesitation. Now he felt the feeling that he wished he could cut off the blood for Ying Zheng in order to repay his great kindness. Only then did he know what Meng Ao was thinking, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for Meng Ao.
Ao gave birth to a feeling of mutual sympathy.
At this time, he was fully focused on rebuilding Handan City, and had no intention of staying any longer. Ying Zheng could naturally see that he wanted to go back and share the joy with the Zhao people, so he was naturally happy to be a favor, and waved his hand with the magnanimity of Cheng Ren.
He let him go back. Li Mu was naturally grateful. A man like him would be fine if he didn't recognize the Lord. Once he recognized the Lord, he would be extremely loyal. Even if he died, he would not frown. Although he could not say anything nice.
words, but one could tell from his eyes that this person had the most resolute and upright temperament. At this time, Ying Zheng let him go. Li Mu was grateful. He knelt down and did not stop, and quickly went to the place where Ying Zheng had temporarily assigned him in Xianyang City.
Rush to the mansion.
At this time, the five thousand elite soldiers among the Zhao people had already mingled with Meng Ao's men. When everyone was having a good time, there were also girls from Xianyang City who enthusiastically and boldly offered themselves for the banquet. In just one day, it was still a matter of life and death.
