In the afternoon, in the Chamber, after Tang Xiaoxi announced the list and order of the seven imperial leaders, Wei Qiu, Situ Sen, Nangong Lie and others were obviously a little different, especially Wei Qiu. There was a slight disappointment between his eyebrows. It was true. His merits are enough to be one of the seven marshals, no matter how meritorious he is in battle, he will be taken in his turn.
It's just that things in this world are not just as simple as meritorious rewards.
Lin Muyu could see that Wei Qiu was not happy, and also saw the anger of Situ Sen and Situ Xue.
After the meeting, Lin Muyu left Wei and Situ brothers and sisters, and invited them to have a drink together.
…
There are no others, even Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, and Si Kongyao have been distracted by Lin Muyu. Although it is already spring, the snow is still flying. The cook in the handsome mansion quickly stewed the dishes, while Situ Xue warmed up the wine for everyone. There were only five people in the huge chamber: Lin Muyu, Wei Chou, Situ Sen, Feng Xi and Situ Xue.
"The temperature of the wine is good, my lord." Situ Xue offered the wine.
Lin Muyu stood up, filled the wine for Wei Qiu and Situ Sen, and then said: "Come on, let's do this first cup."
"Yes!"
Everyone drank it, and the spicy and fragrant mellow swallowed their throats.
Lin Muyu filled the wine again, took a deep look at the people, and said: "My subordinates originally had five generals. In addition to the four of you, there is also Xu Jiantao, the Cangnan Hou, but he has already been loyal and martyred. In terms of qualifications, you Everyone has a chance to be listed as one of the seven marshals, but His Royal Highness is not so selected. I think you should also know why."
Wei Chou said, "My lord, don't talk about it, the subordinates understand it."
"Although I understand, I still have to say it so that everyone will feel better." Lin Muyu cleared his throat and said: "I and Feng Jixing and Qian Feng, the three of them must be among the seven handsome, this is beyond doubt. As for the remaining four, Xiang Yu, a veteran of the empire, he has always had a reputation, and he has been deeply rooted in dominating Lingnan for so many years. It can be said that with Xiang Yu, the four major provinces of Lingnan can be stabilized, so Xiang Yu must also be one of the seven commanders, followed by Ding Xi. We all know that Ding Xi is an old general of righteousness and the country, but Ding Xi has always been a person who can tell right from wrong. During the Lanyan City chaos, He spared me and saved His Royal Highness’s life. It can be said that without Ding Xi, I am afraid that there would be no Daqin now, and Ding Xi has also made countless contributions in the battle against the Celestial Continent, ranking him as the seventh commander. ."
Everyone nodded, and Wei Chou said, "I have always respected Ding Shuai very much. I have no objection to his ranking as the seventh."
"Well, it's Tang Town again." Lin Muyu looked at the reflection in the wine glass and said, "Tang Town is a general of Qihai City, and the biggest soldier in the Tang family except Xiaoxi, and more importantly Tang Town. His wife is Linghu, who is in charge of the entire demon clan’s woman. Tang Zhen alone is involved in the safety of the entire western border of the empire. Therefore, Tang Zhen’s ranking as the seventh marshal is also considering the stability of the western border. The last one is the same in our hearts. It is very clear that Zeng Yifan is a veteran minister, the former emperor of the same generation as Su Muyun and Tang Lan. Although he once had a heart of disobedience, it seems that Zeng Yifan has already changed his mind, and Zeng Yifan is a representative. For the old officials of the entire Qin Jin era, only by placing him among the seven commanders can the old officials' hearts be assured. Otherwise, these old people will be in trouble in Lanyan City while we are fighting outside."
Wei Qiu was in a daze, and said: "My lord, the subordinates understand what you mean, and they all understand these principles. It doesn't matter. Isn't the subordinate still ranked first among the ten generals?"
"I still wronged you."
Lin Muyu nodded and said: "If Cang Nanhou is still alive, he and you are both qualified to be the seventh marshals. Your credit is still higher than that of Xiang Yu and Tang Zhen, and I will remember them all in my heart."
Wei Qiu smiled: "If the adult hadn't selected his subordinates from the Eagle's Nest Camp, I am afraid that Wei Qiu is still an ignorant and ignorant guard, how could he control these thousands of troops, the adult's reinvention of the grace guard? Qiu Yongsheng will not forget."
Situ Sen also clasped his fists and said, "If he weren't an adult, he would still be the king of mercenaries in Lanyan City at the end!"
Feng Xi smiled.
Lin Muyu also smiled and said: "It is not easy for us to get here today. Although it is inevitable to be biased when talking about merits and rewards, it is also an unavoidable thing. Just look at my thin face, a chance to make meritorious deeds. There will be more in the future, let’s talk about it... No one knows what the world will look like in the future. Once the Mahayana deity comes to the world, we may also say goodbye to this world. Then, what is the meaning of the princes and generals? If anyone wants to keep the Broken Ding Realm as the king, I will fulfill him, and leave a person from our Longdan Camp to guard this plane, and I will feel more at ease."
Wei Qiu said in a deep voice, "Whichever the adult says, Wei Qiu is willing to follow the adult forever. It doesn't matter where he goes, it doesn't matter what he does."
"Row."
Lin Muyu said: "If you go to the God Realm, you will be happy together. If you go to my hometown, I will keep you safe."
"What about me?" Situ Xue asked.
"You are indispensable." Lin Muyu smiled: "As long as you and General Sen are willing, we will still work together in the future."
"Okay, Axue will work hard to cultivate."
"Ok."
At this time, there was always one person who was silent, it was Fengxi.
"General Fengxi, why don't you speak?" Lin Muyu asked.
Feng Xi respectfully said: "Subordinate... The subordinate is just a mortal, and his cultivation level is not as good as the other three generals. The subordinate has followed Lin Shuai for many years, in order to make meritorious deeds and glorify his ancestors, and not to humiliate his ancestors. Therefore, if Lin Shuai is in the future Deciding to leave this plane, Fengxi is willing to be a guard and continue to guard my Daqin land."
"Yeah." Lin Muyu glanced at him appreciatively, and said: "I remember what you said at the beginning, don't worry, after the world is settled, there must be a place for you to stand."
"Thank you Lin Shuai!"
"Come on, drink, don't talk about these unhappy things."
"Yes!"
…
Three days later, Zhangjiabao was full of people, and today is the canonization ceremony of the imperial seven commanders.
The small Zhangjiabao has now been transformed. The four sides of the fort have built turrets and arrow towers, and even the city walls have been strengthened once. The sound of craftsmen digging from the ground is digging machine holes. According to the work The progress of the project will be completed in about three days.
The ceremony was held on the open space of the fortress's outer wall. On the high platform that was hurriedly built, seven imperial guards held seven swords in their hands. Most of these swords were sacred artifacts. At this time, they were renamed Yuan Rong swords, and only the marshals could match them. A worthy sword, although not a divine weapon, is a symbol of power.
However, there were only a handful of marshals present today. In fact, Lin Muyu was the only one present, and the rest were replaced by some generals.
After the high priest finished reading the sacrificial text, Qin Yin slowly walked onto the stage wearing the female emperor's robe, and began the ceremony of entrusting the commander.
Lin Muyu stood at the forefront of the sequence, and the next one was Wei Qiu. He accepted the canonization in place of Feng Jixing, while Situ Sen, Feng Xi and others replaced Qian Feng and others' canonization.
Qin Yin looked at Lin Muyu with watery eyes, her voice was full of grace, and said: "Choose Lin Muyu as the first marshal of the empire, the marshal of Zhentian, give the king of Qin, please receive the sword of Zhentian Yuan!"
Lin Muyu stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and raised both hands to receive the sword.
Qin Yin awarded the sword and said with a smile: "Get up, King Qin."
"His Royal Highness!"
Lin Muyu stood aside with a sword in his hand. From now on, he has restored the title of King Qin. Originally, the title of King Duke has been abandoned by the Congress, but now and then, now in the war period, he must rely on the title to motivate the three armies and restore it. The title system is also imperative. As for the opposition from the Lanyan City Congress in the distance, it is irrelevant. Anyway, they have no military power in their hands, and no matter how fierce they are, it will not help.
The ceremony of sealing the commander lasted for a whole afternoon. After sealing the seven commanders, he was named the top ten generals. Each has a small fief. As for Lin Muyu, the fief of the commander, it is Wugu City. Yes, the whole Wugu City is now. They are all Lin Muyu's fiefdoms. In addition to this fiefdom, there are also countless golden brocades and jewels as rewards, although Lin Muyu doesn't care about these at all.
…
After half a day, the two dragon knights brought the reward to Xiping Mansion, and a special person secretly took the reward into the secret room under the Royal Garden.
"The reward is here!"
A dragon knight carried the treasure into the secret room, and the other dragon knight opened the edict and read the canonical list.
Feng Jixing, Qianfeng, Ding Xi, Xiang Yu, and Tang Zhen respectfully knelt in a row and were sealed.
"Receive the sword, Marshal Zhenguo."
The Dragon Knight handed a Yuan Rong sword to Feng Jixing, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Royal Highness Xinwang, your title has been restored. At the same time, His Royal Highness has divided the two states and counties of Tianshu Province to you as fiefdoms. Woolen cloth!"
Feng Jixing smiled and said, "His Royal Highness!"
Afterwards, Qianfeng, Ding Xi, Xiang Yu, and Tang Zhen also accepted the awards one by one, each with a marshal's cloak. The workmanship of these cloaks is not too fine, and the time is rushed, but they will definitely be after returning to Lanyan City. Don't worry about sewing again.
Xiang Yu held the Yuan Rong sword and said with a smile: "Congratulations to His Royal Highnesses, King Xin and King Dong, who are not only ranked seven marshals, but also won the king!"
There was a faint irony in his speech. Obviously, Xiang Yu was destined to be dissatisfied. Even a general like Qian Feng was crowned king, and he was only a Duke after all the battles.
Feng Jixing faintly smiled, "Didn't General Xiang Yu also regain his public position?"
What he meant was even simpler. You were not as good as me at the beginning, and now you are not as good as me. This is extremely normal.
As a result, Xiang Yu almost choked to death with a single sentence and became silent. He also knew that in terms of military merit, he was inferior to Feng Jixing and Qianfeng. In the battle of Huoxi County, Feng Jixing planned to break the Shang Dynasty 200,000 yuan. The army, and seeing the battle of Longyuan, the shallow wind and blood of the 500,000 army of the Shang country, these are all things that Xiang Yu cannot compare. After all, he is just a lieutenant, and he has never really commanded the battle before. He commands, will he be Chen Yu and Xun Xi's opponent
I'm afraid not necessarily. Xiang Yu knows this too well.
Over the past two decades, there have been so many talents in the Great Qin Empire, Lan Yan Sijie does not say, Wei Qiu, Xu Jiantao, Situ Sen and others, which are not the current wizards, Xiang Yu is not in time, if it is a different era, maybe he It is a handful of famous generals, but they were born in this era, and the light is naturally obscured by the heroes.
