Recruiting soldiers, promoting and abolition of officials based on the performance appraisal at the end of last year, building internal facilities, preparing for summer grain harvest in three months, etc. Qin Feng issued orders at the first grand dynasty meeting at the beginning of the year.

The Han Dynasty emperor Liu Bian could only agree on the high throne like a walking corpse.

Qin Feng proposed the system of government titles and implemented the assessment system of the ability and the mediocre. This severely hit the corrupt administration of the gentry who had only been superior to the top and not inferior to the top for thousands of years. This would definitely not affect Qin Feng's rule, but would instead help him to recruit talents as officials and develop internal affairs efficiently.

As a result, a large number of old imperial officials who followed Emperor Xian of Han to Yedu were dismissed. Of course, Qin Feng would not move officials like Ma Riyi and Yang Biao for the time being. Because they are still in the Han Dynasty, and these two people did have great contributions to the Han Dynasty.

It was noon and the court meeting lasted for two hours. Many major events had been arranged, and only the specific functional departments were left to take the facts.

At this time, Qin Feng said: "Your Majesty, in order to make the world remember, it was the heroic sacrifice of fearless soldiers that brought about the current stable life. I supervised the construction of the Hero and Martyrs Cemetery, which has been completed. The remains of the soldiers who died bravely for the court in previous wars will be buried in the cemetery. Their tablets will be enshrined in the memorial hall in which they have been admired by the people for generations..."

Emperor Xian of Han twitched a few times inadvertently. This court meeting was all Qin Feng's opinion, and he could only nod and say yes. After more than a year of peace, the dignity of his great Han emperor was trampled on by powerful ministers again. He roared in his heart: "What does it mean to sacrifice for the court? They were all sacrificed for you Qin Zijin! They are not my soldiers, they are a group of devils who make accomplices for tigers! History will make a fair evaluation, they are just a group of traitors, rebel generals and rebel soldiers!"

Qin Feng did not know that Emperor Xian of Han was attacking his soldiers with vicious words, and even if he knew, he would sneer. Because history would make fair evaluations, these martyrs who expanded their territory for China are real warriors! They will be admired by the Chinese clan for generations in future generations! Because, they used their lives and swords in their hands to open up land for the Chinese people that have reproduced for generations, and have vast land!

And Emperor Xian of Han, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, will surely be buried by history together with the corrupt gentry class who enslaved the working people!

Qin Feng said: "In order to express the court's respect for the fallen martyrs, Your Majesty should set an example and take a fast and bathe every day. This month, I respectfully send the martyrs' spiritual bones to the Heroes and Martyrs Memorial Hall to receive worship!"

"What!" Emperor Xian of Han could not bear it anymore and suddenly stood up. He shouted: "I pay tribute to heaven and earth, the ancestor temple, where there is the reason why the emperor worships soldiers!" After shouting, he was startled by his insolence and hurriedly said softly: "Prime Minister, can you... you... replace me..."

If Emperor Xian of Han finally admitted his conscience, Qin Feng would have to deal with him well. He shook his wide sleeves and said coldly: "Have you forgotten the traitors such as Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si? No soldiers killed the enemy in blood on the front line. There is His Majesty there now sitting in the temple."

Qin Feng turned around to face the officials and shouted: "Without soldiers killing generals and killing enemies, what's the use of heaven and earth? Without soldiers protecting me from the land of China, where are the temples of our ancestors built! Where are they still there?"

His voice came out of the hall and echoed over the majestic Weiyang Palace.

Outside Deyang Hall, flags were waving on the five-story pedestal, and nearly a thousand imperial guards raised their arms and shouted, "Kill the generals and kill the enemy, bless me in China! Kill the generals and kill the enemy, bless me in China!"

The arrogant momentum made Emperor Xian and all officials look disgusted.

Qin Feng spread his arms and said excitedly: "Listen, this is the spirit of the men of our clan. They will surely protect the vast territory of China and bless my Chinese lineage forever!"

The pale-faced Emperor Xian of Han sat back on the dragon couch, and he also wanted to pay tribute to the soldiers who had expanded their territory for the Han Dynasty. However, how could he pay tribute to them... Just a single order from Qin Feng, he would point his finger at his soldiers! "This is the Qin army, the Qin army that fought for your Qin son! It is not my army. No, no!" Emperor Xian of Han roared in his heart.

Qin Feng looked at the colorful and changing white faces on the throne, how could he not know what Emperor Xian of Han was thinking? "Damn, you have only been away for more than a year, and you are thorny. It seems that you will have to ask Hu Cheer to repair it well in the evening."

However, Emperor Xian of Han could not refute that this powerful army was not an army fighting for China. He was frightened by Qin Feng's cold eyes.

At this moment, Hu Cheer walked out of a secret corner, his bald head was shining. He could see him stretching out a thick slap in front of Emperor Xian of Han, clenched it hard, and kneading it hard.

"Wow!" When Emperor Xian of Han saw this, he trembled all over and his face instantly. He remembered the cruel punishments of the black-clothed guards, such as tiger benches, pepper water, charcoal barbecue, and wooden donkeys. Those punishments cannot be killed, but make you want to die.

Emperor Xian of Han suddenly shouted, which surprised all officials.

Ma Rizhan hurriedly said with concern: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

"What! Nothing..." Emperor Xian of Han felt cold at this moment. He was full of helplessness. He was trying his best to maintain the last dignity of an emperor. He hurriedly stood up and said, "What I thought suddenly just now, and felt that what the Prime Minister said was right. These soldiers opened up territory for our Han Dynasty. I want to pay tribute to them."

Qin Feng smiled slightly and said, "Every day, you can take a bath, and pay tribute to you at the fifteenth day. Then, let's go out." After he said that, he turned around and walked out. The civil and military officials hurriedly turned sideways and gave him respectfully.

When Qin Feng was about to walk out of the hall, Kong Rong touched his beard, his little eyes flashed, and he looked like he was fine, and he shook his sleeves and walked out. As he began to retreat, Lu Su and other officials from Qin Feng began to retreat.

Soon, only 20% of the officials were left in the hall.

Emperor Xian of Han, who looked at all this, had his expression as if he had eaten a fly. He gritted his teeth and held back, saying, "Sanchao!"

"Greatly send your Majesty..." The two-level gentry officials, who sent Emperor Xian of Han, sighed and walked out.

"Mr. Situ, the Prime Minister is so handsome..." said one of the officials.

"Silence your voice! Be careful of the black-clothed guard's eyes and ears!" A person with a close relationship was screaming in a low voice.

The official was so clever that he slipped away in a hurry.

The remaining officials did not dare to resist Qin Feng, and thought they were determined to work hard and went home to recite the letter. With political achievements, they would not be afraid of losing their official position. With this idea, they hurried back.

"Maybe..." Yang Biao said.

A trace of clarity flashed in Ma Riyi's turbid eyes, and he heard him say, "You and I will do our best to maintain the Han Dynasty. As long as the princes in the south are there, Qin Zijin will never dare to usurp the Han Dynasty. Death is like a lamp extinguishing, and Your Majesty is younger than him..."

Yang Biao agreed deeply and said that he was persistent and prepared, and went back to teach his descendants to study hard. According to the Prime Minister's meaning, as long as he was talented, he could become an official. He hurriedly returned to the mansion and taught his children to memorize the letter.

...

In the Qin Dynasty, there were titles, from low to high, twenty-two ranks: first-class duke, second-class duke, third-class duke, fourth-class duke, fifth-class duke, sixth-class duke, seventh-class duke, eighth-class duke, nineth-class duke, fiveth-class duke, tenth-class duke, left-class duke, eleventh-class duke, right-class duke, twelve-class duke, left-class duke, thirteenth-class duke, middle-class duke, and fourteenth-class duke.

Fifteen ranks were made by the young master, sixteen ranks were made by the great master, seventeen ranks were made by the four chariots, eighteen ranks were made by the great master, nineteen ranks were made by the Guannei ranks, and twenty ranks were made by the marquis.

In early February of the sixth year of Jian'an, the court issued an edict to enthrone the titles of 100,000 generals who returned from the expedition. Most of them were between first and second levels, and more than 2,000 were awarded three levels, and more than 1,000 were awarded four levels, and they were not allowed to be awarded four levels, and they were not allowed to be awarded five to eight levels. There were also dozens of senior generals who awarded nine to eleven levels. The soldiers who died in battle had three levels and six levels.

Generals such as Zhao Yun and others were awarded the titles of 17, and generals such as Li Dian and Le Jin were awarded the titles of 12 to 16.

At the same time, the civilian government title system was launched, which was linked to political achievements. Members of the six-member military advisor group were all awarded the title of 17th level. In the court, the three dukes were the title of 16th level, and the following were 10th level.

When the policy was promulgated, the gentry who had no talent and had higher ranks were dismissed. The status of soldiers was greatly improved.

In this way, under Qin Feng's rule, the most basic honor system was established, which was above other levels. On the basis that talented people could become officials, it gave ordinary people considerable opportunities. As long as ordinary soldiers can fight bravely, they can continuously improve their titles, and even after reaching a certain level, even if they are the three dukes and nine ministers, even the generals and lieutenants, they must salute the brave soldiers.

The title has corresponding salary, but for ordinary soldiers with deep feudal consciousness, as long as they fight bravely to kill the enemy, one day the princes and nobles also have to salute, which is the real glory. The news came, and the three armies were excited. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Qin army were ready to fight for glory, hoping to have the opportunity to go into battle, kill the enemy, and make contributions.

The Qin army's combat effectiveness soared, and it still surpassed all the vassal armies in the world.

The sixth year of Jian'an, February 15, 197 AD.

Twenty miles west of Yedu, there is a hill. This oval hill covering an area of ​​about 400 meters above sea level has been converted into a cemetery.

On the towering archway at the foot of the mountain, two vigorous red characters "Heroes" are written in bright red cinnabar. From here to the top of the mountain, there are 1,800 steps. On this day, the steps are covered with red carpets. At the end of the steps is the majestic and solemn Heroes and Martyrs Memorial Hall covering the entire top, covering an area of ​​100,000 square meters.

In front of the memorial hall, there is a monument that stands more than ten feet tall. On this obelisk, inscriptions are engraved, and on the four walls of the base under the monument, the heroic postures of heroes and martyrs fighting for the enemy are engraved.

On both sides of the steps, the pine and cypress forest that symbolizes the eternal thoughts of the deceased are the burial place for the martyrs. In these green mountains and green waters, the souls of heroes will be rested.

The soldiers who returned from the Expeditionary Force formed an array before sunrise to surround the huge cemetery. They would pay their respects to the comrades who had wiped them away here, and at the same time do a good job of alerting them to prevent their heroic souls from being disturbed by ignorant people.

When the sun casts the first ray of sunlight on the horizon, hundreds of thousands of people have gathered at the foot of the cemetery. They all wear mourning and hold various sacrifices. They come here sincerely, thanking these heroes who have wiped them out for bringing themselves a peaceful and happy life.

Among them were the families of martyrs, who were respected by everyone. In their sorrow, they felt proud and proud of their husbands and sons. As the families of martyrs, they would be treated preferentially by the court and local policies.

The faces of the people are sad, but they are like the 100,000 soldiers here, with sadness and pride. Because on this day, the heroes have a place of rest, and they will no longer be forgotten by the world, and their names will last forever in the memorial hall.

For thousands of years, no soldier in any army has received such treatment, and even great generals have no such honor. Therefore, the soldiers are proud and the people are proud of them.

However, people know who brought it all. So, at that time, there was constant cry for the prime minister inside and outside the cemetery.

Especially the soldiers of the Qin army, they shouted the name of their lords frantically. Amid the calls, they swore that they would spend the rest of their lives fighting for their lords. They would use their bravery to get the qualification to enter the cemetery after death. Because their great leader once said that one day in the future, he would sleep with the soldiers who had fought with them... in this cemetery!

In Qin Feng's view, the former King of Qin built the Terracotta Warriors that shocked the world, which was so flashy and unreal. The first emperor in China tried to protect himself underground with some dead objects. If he could sleep with the heroic souls who sacrificed for him, he might truly create another glory in the underworld hell.

The emperor's carriage slowly came to the entrance of the cemetery under the guard of the Imperial Guard. Following this, there was a team of officials led by Qin Feng. It is worth mentioning that the six military advisors, six generals, and other civil and military officials from all over the country followed him closely. The officials could only be left behind.

When Qin Feng appeared, people cheered.
Chapter completed!
