12dz Chapter 474 Reward
Chapter 474 Reward
In the second half of the night, Ying Zheng was sleeping when he suddenly felt a heaviness in his chest.
He pinched his eyebrows and opened his eyes.
Sure enough, it was the little kid who was sleeping with his legs spread out with one leg resting on his chest.
Ying Zheng stood up and held the little guy in the baby pig's arms, and the little kid immediately put his legs on the baby pig's belly.
Baozhu was startled and raised his head suddenly, looked at his uncle Qin Shihuang, then looked at his little mother, then lay back down and continued to sleep with his head touching that of the little boy.
Ying Zheng touched Yuan Yuan's head, looked at the beasts lying on the ground in the inner hall, and suddenly had a feeling that "this family is becoming more and more prosperous."
He put on his coat and went to the outer hall.
On the imperial desk are battle reports from the front line.
Meng Tian and Yang Duanhe fought the Huns in the northern border, Wang Jian and Wang Ben cleaned up the battlefield in the south, and Ren Xiong and Wang Li prepared for war in the East China Sea.
Ying Zheng took out the world map that Yuan Yuan had given him before.
The contents on the map had long been deeply imprinted in his mind. Since the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the speed of expanding territory made foreign countries panic. Small countries continuously sent envoys from thousands of miles away to Xianyang to submit letters of surrender.
However, Ying Zheng did not slack off for a moment.
I am afraid that I will not be able to accomplish my ambitions in my lifetime.
While I was deep in thought, my elbow suddenly sank.
He tilted his head and saw the little boy's chubby white round face resting on his arm, smiling at him cutely.
Yuan Yuan clenched her small hand into a fist and stretched it out: "Brother Ying Zheng, I will give you a big treasure!"
Ying Zheng stretched out his big palm and placed it under her small fist, then a black pill fell into his palm.
It is larger than the previous Nine-Transformation Pill, Rongyang Pill, and Shiquan Dabu Pill.
The medicinal aroma is also stronger.
At first glance, it is not ordinary.
"What kind of medicine is this?"
Yuan Yuanshen said mysteriously: "It's the Qiankun Pill! If you eat it, you can live as long as a hundred years like my master Sun Miaomiao!!!"
"Uncle Erlang only has one!"
Her eyes rolled around and her face showed "Yes, I touched that one."
Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
Yuan Yuan also laughed, she took out a small porcelain jar from her pocket and asked Ying Zheng to keep the elixir.
The little boy warned him earnestly: "Brother Ying Zheng, don't take other people's medicine. My uncle said that all immortals and alchemists are big liars!!!"
Ying Zheng looked at her quietly for a moment, then held out his hand to her: "Come, come to my brother."
The little kid stepped on his legs and hugged his good brother's neck tightly.
"I like Brother Ying Zheng the most!"
Ying Zheng thought that when he was young he had never expected that someone could treat him with such sincerity.
He succeeded to the throne for more than ten years and made great achievements. It was this little boy who helped, saved and supported him time and time again with a sincere heart.
This child gave him the family affection he lacked as a teenager, and also taught him how to love the world, love all living beings, and love himself.
The four Huang brothers and sisters watched from behind for a while, and when they saw their little mother and uncle being so close, they rushed over.
The four big heads were nodding around the two of them, making the little kid laugh.
The atmosphere is so warm.
*
In the sixth year of Yuanshou in the Western Han Dynasty, Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.
Huo Qubing led 100,000 cavalrymen on a northern expedition, almost destroying the Xiongnu, and then returned to the capital again.
There were growing calls from both the government and the public for a generous reward for Huo Qubing.
But Liu Che kept pressing the button and refused to send it.
Just when everyone was speculating that Huo Qubing would become the second Han Xin, Liu Che was losing his temper in the Pepper Room.
"Those ministers only know how to yell all day long. Do they seem to have a mouth?!"
"Is it because I don't want to reward you?"
He looked at Empress Wei Zifu with sharp eyes: "Qubing is the Grand Marshal, second only to the emperor and above ten thousand people!"
"I have already emptied the treasury during this northern expedition. Where is the reward?"
Wei Zifu bowed her head and said, "I am terrified. As a military commander, it is his duty to expand the territory for Your Majesty. Why should he be rewarded?"
"Those ministers who requested the title of Champion Marquis are actually putting him on the fire. Your Majesty, please think twice."
Liu Che sat down beside her and sighed slightly.
"Don't be nervous, Queen. I'm not testing you."
"I watched Qubing grow up and treated him like my own son. Others may not know this, but maybe you don't know this either?"
"It's because of the continuous wars, the treasury is indeed empty..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came from outside to report:
"Your Majesty, Madam, the Grand Marshal requests an audience."
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.
Just as Liu Che was about to summon him, he heard the "thump thump thump" sound of a child's footsteps.
"Uncle Liu Huangdi, look who's here!!!"
Liu Che's face lit up with joy and he stood up to greet him.
This little boy brought the recipe for gunpowder last time. Gunpowder played an indispensable role in our victory over the Huns this time!
He was so happy that he bent over and picked up the child who was running towards him. Even the queen behind him was shocked.
Your Majesty is not someone who is close to children.
Liu Che smiled and pinched the boy's cheek: "Hey, I haven't seen you for more than a year, why are you still short and chubby?"
The little kid retracted his smile and pouted his lips angrily:
"Uncle Emperor Liu hasn't grown taller either!!!"
"My legs are getting longer and longer, I'm going to be a grandmother!!!"
Liu Che laughed: "Is that so? I am so disrespectful."
Yuan Yuan covered her mouth and laughed, "Hehehe," "No disrespect, no disrespect."
Huo Qubing was waiting respectfully by the side, still in his military uniform, with dried blood stains on his armor, and a fierce and murderous aura all over his body.
Liu Che put the child down and patted Huo Qubing on the shoulder: "Good job!"
"Why are you entering the city now? I have ordered the prince to leave the city, and the people are waiting to line the streets to welcome the army into the city."
Huo Qubing touched his nose, and Yuan Yuan said mysteriously: "It's time for lunch, we are here to eat fried fish together!!!"
Liu Che poked the boy's head and said, "You, you only think about frying fish."
He was in a very good mood and said, "That's just right. I want to discuss with my ministers and grant you the title of Marquis of Lu. Then you and Qubing will receive the title and reward together."
In this dynasty, very few women had titles, and the title of female marquis was conferred only on women of noble status and who had made contributions to the Han Dynasty.
Liu Che stroked his beard and felt very satisfied with himself.
Huo Qubing coughed lightly, took out a stack of papers from his arms and handed it to Liu Che.
This paper is as white as snow, thinner and more transparent than hemp paper.
Liu Che took the stack of papers and found that there were words or pictures written on each sheet, which was truly pleasing to the eye.
On the top piece of paper, the first thing that catches your eye is the three big words "Papermaking".
Then came printing, sugar, alcohol extraction, new farming methods...
Liu Che looked at Huo Qubing seriously, and when he saw him nod, he couldn't help swallowing.
"Then you will be made a lord? Lord of Quyang? I will grant you the two cities of Qu and Yang as your fiefdom?"
He stroked his beard again and thought that this reward was very good.
Only royal women of noble status can be crowned as queens!
Huo Qubing glanced at the little girl and found that she was stretching her neck to look around, so he quickly coughed lightly.
Yuan Yuan reacted immediately and took out the two pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Liu Che generously.
Liu Che's heart tightened and he took it.
These are drawings of chariots and warships.
His Majesty the Emperor was surprised and delighted, then hesitant: "Could it be... that he wants to be crowned a princess?"
But only the emperor's daughter can be named a princess... ?
Huo Qubing curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and what he wanted was naturally the most honorable title.
He bowed and made a great salute:
"With these prescriptions, the national treasury will be filled in no time, and our Han Dynasty will prosper forever."
Liu Che gathered all the paper hands and said excitedly: "Yes, my Han Dynasty will surely prosper forever."
"I will immediately order someone to draft an edict to confer the title of Princess Yongchang on Yuanyuan."
"When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, she will be crowned the eldest princess."
In this dynasty, the status of the eldest princess is equivalent to that of a prince, and she enjoys extremely high honors and privileges.
This was the greatest sincerity Liu Che could show.
Huo Qubing was satisfied and was about to teach the little boy how to express his gratitude, but he found that she had already run into the hall and was drooling over the delicious cakes on the table.
Liu Che was also so angry that he laughed when he saw this.
That is the title of a princess, the future eldest princess of the Han Dynasty!!!
The next step is for him, the emperor, to abdicate and let others take over!
Yuan Yuan grabbed a piece of date cake, took a bite, and shook his head happily.
Seeing that the Emperor, Empress, and Brother Huo were all staring at her with burning eyes, she immediately followed suit and showed a serious expression.
"Hey, then I am Princess Yongchang again!!!"
