"Yu~ Marquis, the Tongwu Hou Mansion has arrived!" As he was shaking, the carriage was parked in front of a large mansion, and four ancient seal characters from the Tongwu Hou Mansion were hung on the lintel.

When Chen Xu got off the car, all the soldiers guarding the gate bowed and saluted: "Greetings to the Marquis of Qinghe!"

"No gift, may you ask the General and the Marquis of Tongwu be in the mansion?" Chen Xu waved his hand and asked.

"The General and the Marquis are here, please ask the Marquis of Qinghe!" A gatekeeper leader quickly led the way.

The accompanying guard quickly moved the two boxes of gifts placed on the carriage and carried them into the mansion together.

Chen Xu hasn't cared about what happened in the court recently.

I don’t know that Wang Jian is seriously ill and cannot get up, nor do I know that Wang Ben plans to take this opportunity to completely get rid of his family and return home to take care of his old age.

As the two greatest heroes of the Qin Dynasty's unification of China, Qin Shihuang maintained enough courtesy and respect, and various rewards were endless. Although Chen Xu seemed to have countless rewards at the moment, compared with Wang Jian and Wang Ben and his son, it would be a big witch.

Wang Jian was granted the title of Chehou, and his fief was in Pinyang County, two hundred miles northeast of Xianyang. In addition to the fief of ten thousand households, there was also the entire hometown Meiyuan Town as the actual land and land. Most of these were obtained by Wang Jian when he was attacking Chu. Otherwise, the fief of ten thousand households would definitely not reach the scale of ten thousand households.

The first attack on Chu failed. Qin Shihuang promised a 600,000 army to invite Wang Jian out of the mountain, but Wang Jian stayed in his hometown, Meiyuan Town, and could not come out. Qin Shihuang had no choice but to go to Meiyuan to invite Wang Jian in person. Wang Jian was still very unhappy and complained: As a king and general, he would never be granted a title of marquis.

Some people may have questions, hasn’t Wang Jian been granted the title of marquis?

But in fact, I didn’t understand the difference between the marquis of Qin and the marquis of Qin. The current marquis of Qin only have respectful titles but no corresponding land and population. The difference between the marquis of Wanhu and the marquis of Wanhu that later generations talked about is not an ordinary big deal.

Although Wang Jian had a fief of ten thousand households, he could only collect rent, which was equivalent to a landlord. These fiefs paid taxes and grains to support Wang Jian's family, but the people and the land were still under the jurisdiction of local officials. Wang Jian had no command authority. However, if he was a marquis of ten thousand households, then these lands, including the population on the land, were under the jurisdiction of Wang Jian, and he could exercise the rights of court officials and even build his own army. This is the difference.

The title of marquis that Wang Jian mentioned naturally refers to real titles. This kind of marquis that can actually enfeoff a large amount of land and population is already the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty, which is equivalent to the treatment of princes. This kind of marquis basically disappeared after Shang Yang confirmed his military merits at level 20. At present, the Qin Dynasty has not even enfeoffed the princes to become princes, so Wang Jian is naturally even more impossible. Therefore, Wang Jian complained like this. This kind of complaint is actually for Qin Shihuang to see, which means that I will fight for you, and in the end I can't even be a real king or prince. What's the point? I'm too lazy to go.

Looking at the rewards of Qin after the entire reform, there was only one person who had a real title, namely the Marquis of Wenxin, Lu Buwei, who was granted the title of Luoyang fief and 100,000 households. Moreover, Luoyang was the capital of the Emperor of Zhou, which was obviously not just a simple fief, but equivalent to the treatment of princes.

But Lu Buwei's final outcome was also very sad. Since then, Qin Shihuang has never awarded any ministers such a great reward, including Wang Jian and Wang Ben, father and son who wiped out the six kingdoms for him.

After repeated persuasion and request from Emperor Qin Shihuang, Wang Jian asked the emperor for a large amount of fief, land, real estate, and many slaves, concubines, horses, money and food. He was very greedy. In order to win over the number one thug, the emperor was very happy to satisfy him one by one, and finally handed over the 600,000 army to him with confidence. It took more than a year to finally die in Chu State.

After destroying Chu, Wang Jian stayed in Xianyang from then on but only cared about the government and military affairs. His son Wang Ben was entrusted by the emperor with important tasks to continue serving the Qin Dynasty, and then wiped out Yan and Qi State, and was then named Chehou. Therefore, two top marquises of the Wang family were beyond the reach of the Qin Dynasty.

Wang Jian did this naturally because the ending of Wu'an Jun Bai Qi made him frightened, so he showed greed for money and lust and then retreated bravely to save his life.

The Tongwu Hou Mansion has no longer had the fun of the past. Since Wang Qingxiu's death, he has never heard the fights and quarrels of the younger generations in the mansion.

When you enter the door, a large area of ​​martial arts training ground covering dozens of acres is messy, and wild grass grows in many places. The grass man and archer targets are falling and falling. There are even many birds jumping and looking for food. The walking servants are also slight and speak carefully.

Looking at this somewhat desolate martial arts venue, Chen Xu sighed.

Chen Xu naturally knew Wang Jian’s thoughts. He had to do this because he had made too much credit, but wasn’t this too much? After all, he was the top lord of the Qin Dynasty. Is it troublesome to find a few servants to weed?

"Ben is coming soon, please forgive me!" A big man wearing a brocade robe and a jade crown strode, walking with a trembling wind, and the ground seemed to be trembling.

"Xu greets Mr. Tongwu!" Chen Xu bowed and saluted.

"Marquis Qinghe doesn't need to be polite, follow me in!" Wang Ben took Chen Xu's hand and walked in. Chen Xu staggered and was pulled into a yard room in a creepy manner.

In the living room, the guest and host sat down, Chen Xu asked the guards to present the gifts from two boxes.

These two boxes of gifts were made randomly in Qinghe shop before coming, such as Qinghe wine, pen, ink, paper, ink, porcelain cups and bowls, etc., which are all luxury goods with low cost and great profit. The combined price of these two boxes is probably no less than 200,000 yuan, which is indeed a heavy gift.

Wang Ben was naturally satisfied with Chen Xu's gift. After bowing and thanking him, he exchanged greetings. When Chen Xu asked about Wang Jian's condition, Wang Ben's face suddenly turned aloof.

"Thank you, Mr. Qinghe, for your concern, I'm afraid my father won't have much time, and I haven't been able to take the medicine in the past two days, alas~"

Chen Xu stood up and said, "Xu wants to visit the general. I wonder if it's okay?"

"Of course, my father was still thinking about Qinghe Hou when he was awake a few days ago. Ben led the way for Qinghe Hou!" Wang Ben stood up and led the way out of the living room, turned a corridor and entered a closed small courtyard. At the door were several guards with big swords with big waists.

"Kill~" The two guards pulled out their big swords and stopped Yu Wuya who was following behind.

"Don't be rude!" Wang Ben frowned and shouted in a low voice.

"Mr. Marquis forgive me!" The two guards quickly took back the sword, but Yu Wuya hugged Tie Jian and did not frown, but still followed Chen Xu with a calm expression and walked into the yard.

There were also several equally burly guards in the yard, including Wang San Wangs, Four Wangs, Five Wangs, and Qi. When they saw Chen Xu coming in, they quickly stepped forward and bowed with fists. Chen Xu nodded slightly and greeted him, and then followed Wang Ben into a bedroom in the garden.

Yu Wuya stood at the door holding the iron sword, turned around and looked inside the yard.

The room was very dark, and Chen Xu was very uncomfortable when he came in from the strong sunlight outside. He stood for half a minute before he could see clearly the situation in the room.

The room is quite old-fashioned, the couch, doors, windows and cabinets are all very simple, and only a few high-backed chairs are new.

On the short couch was an old man with gray and messy hair, with a haggard face and fingers like firewood. He was the god of the Qin army, Wang Jian, who had been plagued by illness for a long time.

"Horse Qinghe has been visiting him. Most of his father has been unconscious in the past two days. The imperial doctor and Doctor Xu have just left, so he asked the Marquis's mansion to prepare for the funeral in advance. I am afraid I can't hold on this time!" Wang Ben sighed and said.

Chen Xu walked to the couch and looked at the old man who was like a madman who killed the tiger. He was still tall but extremely thin, and he no longer had the courage and heroism he used to be.

"General~" Chen Xu tried to call twice, but Wang Jian didn't move at all, so Chen Xu squatted down and pressed Wang Jian's wrist. After a long time of silence, he felt a slight jump twice, and Ruoyeou almost couldn't feel it.

Chen Xu stood up regretfully. It seemed that this Qin army god was indeed not good this time.

Just as Chen Xu sighed and was about to leave, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the door. Soon an old lady came in with several women, and even several guards in the yard could not stop her.

"Mom, why are you here?" Wang Ben's face changed drastically. He quickly reached out to block the door and didn't want the old lady to come in.

"Go away!" The old lady seemed to be staggering when she walked, but she was about to whip the crutches in her hand. Wang Ben had to quickly dodge. The old lady rushed straight into the room, and then knelt in front of Chen Xu with a thud.

"Woman Wang Su pays homage to the Marquis of Qinghe!"

"Captain Marquis, please get up quickly, why are you?"

Chen Xu recognized the old lady as Wang Jian's original wife, so he quickly reached out to pull the old lady up, but the old lady couldn't get up. Chen Xu could only ask Wang Ben for help. Before Wang Ben came close, the old lady raised her crutch again, which scared Wang Ben quickly hugged her head and jumped aside and called her mother for spare time.

Chen Xu:...

Damn, Wang Ben is a Marquis of Tongwu, and he is afraid that his mother will be like this. However... it seems that if Chen Jiang wants to beat him, his Marquis of Qinghe would still have to run away with his head and shout for his life.

The old lady knelt on the ground and couldn't get up. Wang Ben didn't dare to help him. Several women who came with her also lowered their heads and did not dare to approach. Chen Xu could only smile bitterly and said, "Concubine Marquis, just say whatever you have. It would be too much to kowtow to me!"

"The woman begs the marquis to use immortal arts to save my husband's life!" The old lady knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Mother, don't be confused~" Wang Ben's face turned pale in an instant, and he stepped forward and pulled Chen Xu and walked out.

"Ben'er, you are unfilial!" The old lady lay on the ground and cried loudly.

"Empress, please wake up~ Come on, the Marquis has fainted..."

As soon as Wang Ben pulled Chen Xu out of the room, several women were yelling and shouting anxiously from behind, and the room was in an instant.

"Qinghe Hou forgives the sin, please leave quickly, don't take my mother's words to heart!" Wang Ben turned around and ran into the room to visit me.
