The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 315

[Chapter 315: Knighthood]

At this time, the princes behind Emperor Chu finally realized what had happened, and they all turned their attention to the huge pit not far away.

Everyone was confused.

Is this caused by divine punishment?

Even Mr. Liu Ge, who had previously dismissed the Heavenly Punishment, now had his eyes widened and was so shocked that he could hardly speak.

After the shock, there was ecstasy.

If such a magical weapon could be used on the frontier to fight against the Qiyan tribe in the grasslands, how powerful it would be.

I am afraid that even the two hundred thousand cavalrymen will not have the courage to continue fighting after seeing the power of heaven’s punishment!

Everyone here is a pillar of the imperial court, and they may have some small prejudices or opinions against each other on weekdays.

But when it comes to such important matters of right and wrong, I still care about the court and the great Chu.

After Yan Zhuang heard Fang Xiu’s affirmative words, almost instantly, tears appeared in his eyes, as if he would burst into tears in the next second. He said in a trembling voice: “This is a magical tool. I have hope for the revival of Da Chu. I have hope for revival.” Ah! “

The so-called revival is relative to Chu Taizu. At that time, the so-called tiger and wolf warriors of the grassland were just nomads grazing on the grassland relying on the breath of Chu.

They were not exterminated, not only because it did not make much sense, but also because of Taizu’s kindness.

Who would have thought that a hundred years later, it would eventually become a serious problem for Chu State.

But after Heaven’s Punishment, everything is different.

The Qiyan tribe’s cavalry, which originally swept through the four northern states, were nothing under the impact of heaven’s punishment! ?

Thinking of this, Yan Zhuang finally couldn’t help but shed tears. If it weren’t for the soldiers beside him to support him, he would have sat on the ground directly.

The other two court officials were not much better, they all looked excited and weeping.

Heaven’s Punishment was developed while they were still in the cabinet. Needless to say what this means.

The three of them will be remembered in the history books of the Central Plains even if they have no great achievements.

Just because of heaven’s punishment!

As the center of the Chu Kingdom, no one is more forward-looking than them. The moment they saw Heaven’s Punishment, they already understood that everyone here was destined to become a highlight in the history books.

Especially

Mr. Liu Ge subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Xiu.

Especially the developer of Heavenly Punishment, Fang Xiu!

Perhaps, he originally had a lot of prejudice, dislike, and even disdain for Fang Xiu, but at this moment, even as a cabinet bachelor, he only had respect for Fang Xiu.

That’s right. Apart from the word “reverence”, he could no longer imagine how to describe his achievements in developing the Heavenly Punishment.

Even so, the three cabinet ministers all turned toward the Emperor of Chu, bowed slowly, and shouted: “It is God’s will that Your Majesty obtains this artifact.

Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and now that you have received help from God’s will, it can be said that Your Majesty is a sage.” The king is the king of all ages, the king whom the people of the world hope to return to.”

No matter whose credit for this matter belongs to him, in the end it must belong to His Majesty the Emperor.

These old guys know this better than anyone else, and they react very quickly.

Therefore, the first person to congratulate was not Fang Xiu or Youyu Linwei, but His Majesty.

After hearing this, Emperor Chu shook his head.

He naturally knew what these important ministers meant when they said these words at this time.

However, he is a benevolent king and cannot do things that take credit away from others.

Whoever deserves the credit belongs to him, and there is no need for him to compete with his ministers for credit.

The most important thing for a king is not how much merit he has, but the ability to make good use of talented people.

He knows this better than anyone else.

What’s more, after reading so many history books and taking history as a mirror, we can know that many monarchs in this world have done many foolish things because of their greed for power.

And because he was afraid that his ministers and generals were superior to his master, he killed many loyal and good people.

So, he said: “The Heavenly Punishment was discovered by the Fang Qing family and developed by the Fang Qing family. Naturally, it should be the first achievement. What is a sage king? What is a king of all ages?

Make good use of talents. Only when you care about the world and know rewards and punishments can you become a wise king, and your dynasty can be passed on to all generations!”

When Emperor Chu said this, he paused, turned to Fang Xiu and said seriously: “The Fang Qing family has developed heavenly punishment. This is a great achievement. I will reward General Fang Xiu of Lin Wei Zuo Zhonglang as the new Anbo, and he will be hereditary.” When

Fang Xiu heard this, he was slightly startled and stood up straight in a hurry.

He thought that after the heavenly punishment, the old emperor would reward him, but he did not expect that it would be a knighthood.

After all, in Chu State, being knighted requires actual military merit. Although he is a military minister, he has never been on the battlefield, nor has he performed any military exploits. He has not even participated in a battle, but he was knighted. Think about it, It’s also a little strange.

As if he knew what the people present were thinking, before anyone else could speak, Emperor Chu said: “The purpose of heaven’s punishment is in the military. The merits of Fang Qing’s family should naturally be regarded as military merits. That’s why he was named uncle.” .”

Fang Xiu was completely relieved when he heard this.

At the same time, I silently felt that the old emperor was finally not as stingy as before.

Being knighted is a great reward.

After all, except for relatives of the emperor and some special circumstances, there is almost no possibility of being knighted except for great military exploits.

Moreover, today’s Chu State maintains peaceful relations with the surrounding countries. Except for the grassland tribes, even local conflicts are rare. There is no chance for the military ministers and generals of Chu State to make military exploits.

It is precisely because of this that the title of Chu State is actually very valuable.

Although there is no actual fiefdom, from now on, as long as there is no cessation of heirs, the continuation of the title can almost be guaranteed, and it will be hereditary.

Naturally, the children and grandchildren will have no worries about food and clothing throughout their lives. Not only will they be given fields, but they will also receive stipends.

Of course, with Fang Xiu’s property, even without this title, he will definitely be prosperous and wealthy in the future.

However, with an additional level of title, there is ultimately an additional level of protection.

After all, becoming a count is not so easy.

The ancestors of the Fang family, following Taizu’s birth and death, spent countless blood and tears to earn such a title for their descendants.

You must know that the relationship between one sect and two uncles is not that one times one equals one, but that one plus one equals two.

Although Fang Xiu is currently the only male in the Fang Mansion, if he gets married and gives birth to two sons, they can be separated, with one inheriting the title of Earl of Anping and the other inheriting the title of Xin Anbo.

It seems that this is the first time that even among the capital, there are two earls in one house.

The two take care of each other, and if nothing big goes wrong, they will definitely become a great family that will be passed down for generations!
