The Heavens: Falling Ink From Douluo

Chapter 711 The first of its kind

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Today, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Lin Chaoci, will go on an expedition to Mobei to show the prestige of our country. He defeated thirty-two enemy camps, killed and captured a total of more than 70,000 barbarians, and returned 40,000 of our later Han people. If you have more than enough, you have outstanding military exploits, you will be promoted to the third rank of nobility, you will be given the title of Changping, and you will retire with the country. I appreciate this!"

A world of red buildings.

In the city of Shenjing.

In Lin Chaoci's new home.

Dai Quan, who was holding the imperial edict in his hand, read it loudly and stopped Xue Baochai who wanted to accept the edict on his behalf with a smile. After signaling Xue Baochai to calm down for a while, he waved his hand and looked at the wide-eyed eyes of Xue Baochai, Aunt Xue, Ying'er and Xiangling. , he opened the four trays held by the four little eunuchs behind him in turn, and they were filled with similar scrolls!

Don’t say you haven’t seen Aunt Xue.

It was Xue Baochai, the first time I met him.

No... are you doing wholesale here?

How come there are dozens of envelopes in one envelope?

The imperial edict doesn’t require money, right?

Dai Quan seemed to be able to understand the shock of Xue Baochai, Aunt Xue and everyone in the hospital. He grinned, but said nothing, because when he saw so many imperial edicts, his shocked look was not much better than that of Xue Baochai and others. Although Xue Baochai and others were not I have seen it before, but how often has he, the great eunuch in the palace, seen such a scene?

However, then again.

Lin Chao's resignation was also unprecedented!

Whose Jinyi chief led more than forty people to seal the wolf as a Xu?

Hou Huo, the champion of the Han Dynasty, brought tens of thousands of troops with him when he went to the hospital to seal Lang Juxu.

Let’s not talk about whether you can seal the wolf and live in Xu.

Just talk about your record.

He defeated thirty-two tribes alone, brought back more than 40,000 people who had been kidnapped, and killed more than 70,000 barbarians. This record is not too much for an ordinary general, and it is not too much to make him a duke. Suddenly, you can understand Why would my emperor spend so much money?

Not only is this record a good one!

It’s not just how the public’s reputation reacts!

It’s not even just how much support Lin Chaoci’s move gave to Emperor Chongping’s reform, how much blind trust it made the people below him have in Emperor Chongping, and how high their mood to cater to the New Deal was!

What's more... this is the result of more than 40 people fighting tens of thousands of people!

If we don't appease Feng Bo, who knows if these people will rebel one day?

Moreover, even if these people do not rebel.

As an emperor, you can't use "rebellion" to measure your ministers, right?

If you don’t rebel, you are qualified?

To rebel is to be unqualified?

This is too hasty!

Therefore, to win over these forces that can be fought for in the form of rewards, and to use these meritorious officials to inspire young people who are unwilling to be ordinary, just like the military merit system of the Qin State, it is the common people who have nothing to do and carry the enemy. When you get your head back, you can get rewards, fields, official positions and even titles. Those who are capable can climb up, eat meat and drink wine, and those who are incompetent can be ordinary people and provide logistical support for the later Han Dynasty's reforms to strengthen the country. This is the Chongping Emperor. It’s a big move, one that is destined to encounter resistance, but once it succeeds, it will definitely go down in history!

Therefore, reward must be rewarded.

But the reward is more of a title.

A false position without real power.

The kind that can only receive salary from the imperial court.

And these four pallets are four grades.

There are two scrolls on the first tray, one is from Lin Chaoci and the other is from Xue Baochai. This is the only one who is not on the expedition, but can also benefit from it and be ordered to increase his imperial rank.

The second tray contains five or six scrolls, which are gifts for those who perform well in this battle. Each scroll is rewarded with the position of viscount. However, there are ranking differences based on distance and proximity.

Some are first-class viscounts.

Some are second-class viscounts.

Some are third-class viscounts.

They are some of the leaders among the more than forty people.

About the same as Lin Chaoci's deputy general.

Xue Pan is also in this ranks.

The imperial edict contained in the third tray was truly the first of its kind in ancient times - Emperor Chongping proposed the concept of female nobility for the first time, which meant that men and women were equal under military merit. In this battle, seven or eight A girl, because of her gender, enjoyed the treatment of being served separately. However, because of her gender, Emperor Chongping did not get it right in one step. Instead, he boiled the frog in warm water and gradually set up corresponding rules. Before getting married, Women can enjoy all the benefits of the current title, but after a woman with a title marries, the title she holds will automatically become a first-class lady. For example, I am a Duke, and after I marry, I will automatically become a first-class lady. No matter what rank the person I marry is an official, even if it is a minor official of the fifth rank, it does not affect me as a first-rank wife. The recruitment of a son-in-law is a separate matter, so it can be regarded as a patch.

even so.

This is also an innovative move.

It was an attempt by Emperor Chongping to gain support from women all over the world for his reform.

Don't take women too lightly. Which scholar doesn’t have a wife?

Even if there isn’t, mom, there should be, right?

If these scholars dare to support the conservatives and do not need to be attacked by Emperor Chongping, their wives, sisters, and mothers will take action on behalf of Emperor Chongping to discipline them. They are in darkness. People who have never seen the light will not understand the brightness of the light. Only when they After seeing the brightness of light, they will pursue this brightness even more crazily!

It is also commonly known as the word "equality"!

It is a possibility to change your destiny!

The fourth tray contained the most. More than 20 holy edicts built up a hill in the tray. These were the ones who followed to make soy sauce. In fact, we can’t say soy sauce. This word is a bit insulting. This group of young people also It was boiling in blood and fire. Even though Lin Chaoci rushed in and scattered the military formations of each tribe, the fleeing cavalry were still blocked by these young people at each exit, blocking the fleeing cavalry. Those who were killed by the horses often lost blood. As the 800 cavalry were selected, they gradually gained some sense of leadership. When they came back, they read the military books carefully. In time, they were better than those generals who studied the military books. They If you have actual combat experience, you will not suddenly become timid.

These are the barons.

It’s almost the same as the reward in the third tray.

The difference is that one is male and the other is female.

There are five levels of titles: Duke, Marquis, Uncle, Son, and Male. Each title is divided into three levels, that is, first-class Duke, second-class Duke and third-class Duke, first-class Marquis, second-class Duke and third-class Marquis. By analogy, therefore, even if more than thirty barons, five or six viscounts, a marquis, and a first-class lady were conferred at once, for Emperor Chongping, the expected rewards would definitely outweigh the pressure.

And Emperor Chongping wanted to have the confidence to activate the military merit system.

This is the martial arts collected over the past few years.

It's not some high-end martial arts, it's just a common third-rate thing in the world. Being able to develop internal strength is the confidence for him to spread martial arts all over the world. He can turn all the people of the Later Han Dynasty into little supermen, and even make the army invincible. , the confidence to be invincible!

So……

"Madam, please accept the order."

After reading out Lin Chaoci's imperial decree.

Dai Quan also read out the imperial edict to confer Xue Baochai as a first-class imperial edict and the edict to confer Xue Pan as a second-class viscount. They were both received by Xue Baochai, mainly because Lin Chaoci had not returned yet.

The first group of rescued people returned to the border.

With a souvenir from Lin Chaoci.

The border area must respond.

After the thirty-two waves were received on the border, they would naturally know from the people who were rescued in the thirty-second wave that Lin Chaoci wanted to attack the grassland royal court. Therefore, Emperor Chongping did not know about Lin Chaoci's actions. Bian didn't know how far the fight was now. He only knew that Lin Chaoci was fighting Wang Ting, so he could only suffer and wait for the results to come back.

in his expectation.

Lin Chaoci captured Wang Ting.

A reward from a first-grade lady is fair enough.

If you don't defeat it, the reward will be raised to a higher level.

After defeating it, this reward is more appropriate.

However, he really didn't expect...

"Why did you even get a letter asking for surrender?"

In the imperial study room.

Emperor Chongping looked at the letter of surrender sent by the Jin Yiwei who raced three fast horses for eight hundred miles. After confirming that it was not a joke, he seemed to have realized something and hurriedly confirmed to the small yellow gate next to him: " How long has Dai Quan been gone?"

"About half an hour."

Xiao Huangmen bowed.

I didn’t understand what Emperor Chongping meant.

Emperor Chongping was also stunned for a moment, hesitated for two or three seconds, sighed faintly, picked up the pen angrily, and carefully put the letter asking for surrender aside, preparing to show it off to the Supreme Emperor later... Bah, I wanted to appreciate it, so I took out a scroll from under the table, looked at the style, and after confirming that the specifications were OK, I finished writing a line of big characters and kicked the little yellow door next to me who didn't know why: "Hurry up and go Looking for Dai Quan?"

"what?"

"Oh."

Xiaohuangmen woke up from a dream, picked up the imperial edict and put it away.

Immediately afterwards, he rolled out of the imperial study room.

Only the inexplicable wry smile of Emperor Chongping was still echoing in the royal study: "I have been walking for half an hour. I will definitely not be able to catch up. I hope this posthumous title can come in time. I have opened up new territories and expanded the territory without being crowned king. This is all due to the fact that Xue's daughter has been given some of the credit. It would be an insult if she insists on being granted the title of Marquis."
