Chapter 525: King of the Loose Counties
Qin Ming had a barbecue at home and ate very coolly, and that night, they found Qin Ming in the green robe.
They grinded for several days, and finally decided who would kill the Taishi.
Qin Ming asked with interest, "Who is going to kill?" ”
The white robe said, "For the sake of fairness, we will kill each of us once!" ”
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What's the matter?" Listening to this, do you think that his master has five lives? ”
Bai Pao hurriedly explained: "That's not what it means, the result of our discussion is that one person will make up for him, and the first four will not kill him, but they will kill him for one-fifth, and the last one will kill him!" ”
Qin Ming suddenly realized and said, "Don't you think it's troublesome? ”
"No, this has to be so fast, no one can be idle." The green robe said.
Qin Ming shook his head helplessly, thinking that these guys, the bureaucratic style is too heavy.
But it's also typical, and simple things are troublesome to do.
Qin Ming has no opinion on this, there is only one request, five days later, it will be a competition, and before the competition, the Taishi must die.
These five guys also understood Qin Ming's death order, so they could toss whatever they wanted, anyway, when the time comes, they will die.
So, the next day, early in the morning, Qin Ming packed up decently and went to the early dynasty.
Today he is ready to be knighted, and he doesn't know what the emperor will reward him.
In the early days and queens, the ministers were very enthusiastic.
Part of it is true enthusiasm, because Qin Ming won the battle, a miraculous victory, so he has great respect for Qin Ming.
But the other part is hypocrisy, and the enthusiasm for Qin Ming is just because he thinks that Qin Ming will fall down in five days, so he is happy and pretends to be enthusiastic.
No matter which one it is, Qin Ming also responded enthusiastically.
And he has a very good attitude towards everyone.
Especially after seeing the old lady with a smile on his face, Qin Ming also smiled.
The Taishi came up to greet Qin Ming: "Master Qin, seeing that you are full of red light, I am relieved, it seems that you have won the competition in five days, old man, wait and see." ”
Qin Ming laughed and said, "Old lady, what you said is afraid that you won't see me competing at that time!" ”
"How can it be, this master will definitely go." Taishi said.
Qin Ming pouted: "No, no, no, you definitely can't go, after all, you're a lot older, what if you die suddenly?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the smiles of the smiling ministers around them stopped abruptly.
Taishi's face trembled, and he said, "Marquis Qin, it's a joke, it's a joke, you can't say that, right?" ”
"It's just a matter of talking, are you really dead in the past few days?" Qin Ming said.
The smile on Taishi's face gradually disappeared, and he stopped talking to Qin Ming.
At this time, the right minister spoke: "Marquis Qin, the joke is indeed over!" ”
Qin Ming looked at the right phase and said, "I love to joke like this." ”
The right minister snorted and turned to leave.
Qin Ming said: "Hey, let's talk a few more words, I won't curse you to death, what are you afraid of!" ”
The right minister's face darkened and said, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!" ”
Qin Ming smiled and said, "People say that the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, I think you are a small-bellied chicken intestine!" ”
"...... you" The right minister glared at Qin Ming angrily, regretting that he had come up to talk, he was really uncomfortable!
Many of the ministers around him also stopped talking, in case they were scolded by Qin Ming, it would not be cost-effective.
Therefore, everyone chose not to chat with Qin Ming.
Of course, except for a few people who have a good relationship with Qin Ming.
After a while, the emperor came.
Today's topic is about managing the Li Kingdom as soon as possible in the same way as the Chu State.
Also, guard against neighboring countries, lest they rebel against the Liguo.
In addition, the emperor began to talk about Qin Ming's merits, and asked Liu Gonggong to announce the decree.
Gonggong Liu opened the holy decree and read:
"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said: Qin Ming, the marquis of Xiaoyao, during the period of the generalissimo of Li, captured the country of Li in two days and one night, and his contribution was very great. In addition, he can be literate and martial, and he is the talent of Yiqun. Immediately crowned Qin Ming as the king of Xiaoyao County, Qin this! ”
After reading it, Gonggong Liu looked at Qin Ming and said, "Master Hou, oh no, the prince of the county, you still haven't received the decree to thank you?" ”
Qin Ming came back to his senses and glanced at the emperor, he thought that the emperor was a feud, and he was also promoted to a duke in the marquis.
But I never expected that the emperor would wait for him as the king.
You must know that among the princes, the prince is a one-word title, and the level is also the highest.
The second is the county king, the county king is a two-word title, and the general title is the name of the local county.
Qin Ming's title has always been in the name of Xiaoyao County, so this time he is the king, that is, the king of Xiaoyao.
But although the prince of the county is not as good as the prince, he is generally a relative of the emperor.
Unless it is a great hero, he can make an exception to be crowned the king of the county.
In other words, Qin Ming is here with the emperor, and he has actually reached the point where he can be crowned king?
Qin Ming was indeed surprised, so he bowed: "Minister, thank you......"
Gonggong Liu came down, gave the holy decree to Qin Ming, and called Qin Ming a prince.
Qin Ming felt like he was dreaming, but if he knew that the emperor had planned to appoint him as the prince a few days ago, he would probably be even more shocked.
Taking the holy decree, Qin Ming took a deep breath, but he didn't find that in the blink of an eye, he was the king.
The surrounding ministers all looked at Qin Ming with envy, and of course, there were also those who were not convinced.
For example, the right minister, who had just had a verbal dispute with Qin Ming, saw him come out and say:
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate, Qin Ming is so young, although he has merit, it is difficult to be a county king, and the minister thinks that he should be a first-class duke!"
The emperor looked at the right minister, and then asked, "Who else thinks the same way?" ”
Taishi didn't even think about it: "Qin Ming is impetuous, arrogant, and immoral. Although he has merit, he can't afford the king, so please think twice. ”
The Taibao is also listed, and then a few people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not too big to see the excitement.
The others, on the other hand, were speechless.
Qin Ming pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
The emperor snorted and said: "If it is not enough to conquer a country, then how can you be the prime minister?" ”
The right minister's face changed, and he knelt down suddenly: "Your Majesty...... The minister is ashamed......"
The emperor is too good at slapping his face, the meaning is obvious, you haven't made much contribution, you can be the prime minister, Qin Ming has made such a big contribution, what's wrong with the king?
In other words, if Qin Ming is not qualified to be the king, are you embarrassed to be the prime minister?
This makes the right minister embarrassed, and even a little embarrassing.
The emperor snorted unceremoniously and said, "If your right minister makes a great contribution in his position, I will also give you the title of king, have you done it?" ”
The right minister kowtowed: "The minister is ashamed and difficult to be a ......"
The emperor had a cold face and looked at the princes: "Do you still have any opinions?" ”
Taishi hurriedly shook his head: "The minister has no opinion, the prince of Qin has made such a great contribution and is crowned king, it is natural." ”
The other ministers also had no opinions, and only then did they realize a problem, how qualified are a group of people who have not made meritorious contributions to deny rewards to those who have made great contributions?
