Chapter 19 Awards Ceremony Part 2
Chang'an Township, in front of Qin Palace
Qin Zheng looked at this enthusiastic scene and his heart was beating fast, no calmer than Wang Li or any soldier next to him.
However, the entire ceremony is far from over. Qin Zheng quickly shook his head and calmed down his excitement:
"Actually, I asked you to come to the stage, in addition to seeing your blood, I also have to give you a gift in person to commend your contribution to the Qin Dynasty!"
As he said that, Qin Zheng waved his hand, and the little Hu Hai, who was originally standing behind, walked forward with a box in both hands.
Qin Zheng took the box, opened it and took out something the size of a bottle cap, which also had a colorful ribbon on it, which was a medal in the shape of a black bird.
Qin Zheng raised the medal in his hand over his head and shouted, "This is the gift I have prepared for you, all of which were melted with my sword and artifacts.
First, I will commend your achievements. As long as you bring this, you will be the heroes of my great Qin Dynasty. All civil and military officials will salute you when they see you!"
Everyone was surprised after hearing this. You should know that the Qin law stipulates that those with high titles do not have to salute those with low titles. Even if they return gifts, it depends on their mood. Except for the noble officials who are polite when they meet, the old Qin people are never polite.
It has also been recorded in history that later, everyone in Guanzhong has high titles, and even an old farmer may have many ranks. When a county magistrate from Guandong went to the countryside, he could only keep bowing to others, for fear of breaking the law and offending others.
At that time, Qin Zheng spoke again: "Second, I am preparing to open the palace school of the prince's office. The legitimate sons of officials with a salary of more than 1,000 stones in the capital can be enrolled, and the legitimate sons of those who are awarded the merits can also be enrolled!"
As soon as these were said, the people at the scene were even more shocked. In the past, only the children of the royal family were admitted to the palace. Monarchs of all dynasties could only specially approve the descendants of some important officials to enroll, which was basically a one-time reward.
Now that this is the rule, wouldn’t the descendants of these soldiers be able to enter the palace school? They would study with the prince and the prince! They would definitely train important officials in the secret residence!
Looking at everyone's extremely hot eyes, Qin Zheng was very happy from the bottom of his heart, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot and said:
"As for the last one, everyone knows that the previous period of the demonic wind has raged away many people. So I decided to reorganize a new army, first of all, the emperor's personal army, and will be selected from those who have received the award, and all will be paid for two.
All personal soldiers will enter the future imperial military academies and receive personal teachings from all famous generals and even me. After they have finished their studies, they will join the army to serve. Those who are disabled or die can be inherited by their children."
After hearing this, everyone present knew that these people were going to reach the top in one step. After the emperor's personal army and the emperor's disciples went to work in various armies, their positions would definitely not be low!
Now even when facing the king, the crowd of people watching the ceremony could not help but start to whisper, looking at the hundreds of awardees in the middle with a jealousy, wishing they could rush up to replace them by themselves.
Qin Zheng raised his hand: "Okay! I'm done. Everyone comes to the front of the army to award medals. Every award winner has to shout his name loudly to everyone. Do you know?"
"Hi!" The soldiers shouted with all their strength, so scared that the defeated soldiers waiting to be captured were shaking like sieve!
Wang Li stood up very consciously and shouted: "First row, come forward!"
At this time, the first row of martial knights straightened their bodies, as if they were sitting on an iron tower, and climbed up to the platform in neat steps.
Qin Zheng looked at the roster in his hand and shouted: "Liu Yishou! Come forward to award merits!"
"Hi!" A tall and thin young man with white face responded quickly and quickly ran to Qin Zheng with great excitement.
Qin Zheng reached out and hung the medal around his neck, then patted his shoulder with a smile. As a result, the young man was really nervous and just patted him "stupid" and stood in front of Qin Zheng and kept smiling foolishly.
Seeing that Liu Yishou was actually having fun in the same place, Wang Li quickly reminded him in a low voice: "Liu Yishou, turn your head, turn your head!"
"Hmm? Ah!"
At this time, Liu Yishou turned his head in a hurry, faced with countless crowds, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Uh, Liu Yishou!"
Looking at his funny appearance, the excited viewers all laughed out loud: "Hahaha! Keep a hand...haha..." He laughed so hard that his face turned red and he fled out of the stage in a hurry.
Qin Zheng was also amused by this young man, and he laughed while calling another name...
Finally, hundreds of martial knights were awarded the titles, leaving only the commanders of the army, Wang Li and Zhao Gao.
Qin Zheng shouted with a sacred face: "Sima Wang Li from another department, Zhao Gao, the captain of the Qianqin cavalry, came forward to award merits!"
"Hi!" Wang Li and Zhao Gao also agreed with excitement, and then came to Qin Zheng one after another.
Qin Zheng first brought the medal of the Xuanniao to the two of them, and then said: "As the commander of the army, you have made military achievements. In addition to the rewards and awards from the law, I have other arrangements. The court will promulgate it tomorrow."
"Hi!" The two of them agreed quickly.
Qin Zheng nodded with relief: "My honor has been awarded, where are the gifts you brought to me?"
After hearing this, Wang Li made a gesture immediately. Zang Shuo pulled out of the crowd of people, who had already been scared to death, and then inherited the seal of Sima Shi, who was unable to move.
Wang Li bowed respectfully to Qin Zheng: "Your Majesty, we have captured a total of 3,300 people from the Han Dynasty's generals, and killed 2,000 people in a battle. We will offer prisoners here. May the Qin Dynasty last for ten thousand years! Your Majesty last for ten thousand years!"
Qin Zheng held up Wang Li with both hands, and said without even looking at Han Houwu. Then, with a wave of his hand, several guards stepped forward and took Han Houwu away.
"Very good! Very good! I will try Han Hou Wei General tomorrow, and you come and testify again." Qin Zheng said that Wang Li and Zhao Gao would stand back to his position.
After the two of them bowed and left, Qin Zheng took a few steps forward, stood on the edge of the platform, scanned all the soldiers and the people and said:
"Now, the awarding of merits and prisoners has been completed, and I still have something to say. I mentioned the evil wind just now, and the Prime Minister's investigation of the whole country. Now I will tell you the results.
In fact, this time Yaofeng did not take away any of my people from Daqin, but we left Xianyang and came here - Chang'an Township!
And now it is not the twenty-sixth year of the Qin King's rule, but 1665 years after I destroyed the six kingdoms!"
It turned out that everyone who was so excited about the blood that they saw were shocked by this sudden news. Why did they arrive in Chang'an Township? Why did 1665 years pass?
Qin Zheng looked at the incredible look of everyone and said, "You may be suspicious of the people of the Qin Dynasty. But I ask you, was it so cold in October of the 26th? Is there such a drought in Guanzhong in the 26th? Is Xianyang in the 26th?
If you still don’t believe it, will the Kingdom of Korea and Wei have been there in the twenty-six years? None of them! The twenty-six years of the Great Qin Dynasty are definitely not what it is today!”
All the viewers and soldiers seemed to have suddenly realized and began to whisper to the people next to them. Of course, the final result they got must be the same - it is not twenty-six years now.
"Everyone, if you are still hesitating, please let the Grand Historian Sima Jian talk about the changes in the astrological signs for everyone!" Qin Zheng waved his hand and signaled Sima Jian to come to the stage.
Originally, ordinary people had no right to study the astrology and constellation. Neither the Taishi Ling nor the Imperial Heavenly Prison could tell ordinary people about the astrology. But today, in order to prove all this, Qin Zheng ordered Sima Jian to be convinced.
After Sima Jian came to power, he bowed deeply to Qin Zheng and said, "The stars in the sky are indeed no longer in their original place. I am very knowledgeable and can't figure out how much they have moved. And the numbers that Your Majesty said were heard from Lao Dan in his dream!"
Now everyone present was in a panic, the time and place changed, and the ancient sages entrusted dreams, which now seem to be true...
"Lao Dan? Isn't that Zhou's pillar?"
"Yes, that's the most knowledgeable ancient man recognized by all the philosophers!"
"Your Majesty is the emperor, it is possible to dream of Lao Dan!"
"So, it's been over 1,600 years?"
Seeing the chaotic scenes of everyone talking, Ying Yi quickly came out to stop it: "Quiet! Quiet!"
But now everyone can't listen. All kinds of conversations are noisy, completely overwhelming Ying Yi's shouts.
Ying Yi, who was helpless, looked at Qin Zheng with an anxious face, but saw Qin Zheng calmly taking a small bamboo tube and a lit incense wood from the inner official.
Ying Yi was still confused, and then he heard a loud bang: "Boom!"
Chapter completed!
