The Blood Robed Marquis
The next day, the sky was slightly bright.
The bustling New Zheng City was empty as the pedestrians were evacuated.
At this moment, a bustling carriage was cruising in Xinzheng. Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye were traveling together.
During the journey, countless people looked at this bustling carriage with admiration, as if they already knew who was sitting inside.
In ancient times, every country held a court meeting.
The purpose of holding a court meeting was to report the important events that had happened yesterday.
And the king must attend, unless the king was ill or canceled the court meeting.
The court meeting was held at Chen.
When they arrived at the Han Palace, Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye descended one after another.
As soon as they got off the carriage, many nobles and officials surrounded them, their faces full of flattery.
Bai Yifei laughed at his behavior, neither distancing herself nor getting close to him.
Then, he followed Ji Wuye up.
Soon, the time came.
Many officials entered the Han Country's main hall in an orderly manner. The main hall was divided into two rows. The left row was for the scholars, while the other row was for the generals.
In this era, the status of generals was much higher than that of scholars. After all, those who went to war were all generals.
In the main hall, Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi represented the scholars, while General Ji Wuye represented the generals.
General Bai Yifei stood quietly behind Ji Wuye.
In fact, with Bai Yifei's status, other than Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi and General Ji Wuye, no one else in the imperial court had a higher position than her.
In terms of influence, Bai Yifei had a hundred thousand soldiers under her command. In the entire imperial court, only the current King of Han was slightly stronger than her.
According to Bai Yifei's intelligence, Ji Wuye only had about 40,000 to 50,000 Imperial Guards.
Zhang Kaidi was a civilian, and there was no one else other than the army protecting the Prime Minister's residence.
"The king has arrived!" A sharp voice rang out. A eunuch from the palace led a white-haired old man into the hall.
The current ruler of Han Country was not Han An. The current ruler of Han Country, King Han Hui, had only reigned for 30 to 40 years. He could be considered the ruler of Han Country who had reigned for the longest time.
King Hui of Han lifted his hunched body and sat down beside the throne. King Hui of Han was already in his sixties and had already reached the sulfur age. However, he still had some imperial aura on him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." All the ministers in the court bowed slightly to show their respect.
The way of saluting now was not as simple as kneeling down in the future. During the Warring States Period, the right hand pressed down on the left hand, the left hand pressed on the left hip bone, and the legs were close together and bent down slightly to show respect and respect.
(Salute to the King: There are different ranks, but most of the middle-level officials and non-royal relatives have to first circle their hands with the back of their hands facing outwards. After pushing forward and withdrawing them to their chest, they will kneel down with their hands apart. At this time, their hands should be about one foot (about 23CM) in front of their knees. Then, they will lower their heads and kowtow. After the salute, they will stand up. When they stand up, they cannot raise their heads until they stand up straight.
5. Confucius said,"The monarch sends his courtiers with propriety, and the courtiers serve the monarch with loyalty." Confucius said,"The monarch, his subjects, and his subjects." Therefore, the monarch and his subjects should abide by etiquette.)
Sitting on the throne, King Hui of Han glanced at the ministers with his murky eyes. Finally, his gaze landed on Bai Yifei, who was standing behind Ji Wuye. A smile appeared on his face.
King Hui of Han raised his hand slightly and said,"All ministers, please excuse me."
As soon as the King of Han finished speaking, the officials in the court stood up.
The King of Han waved his hand and looked at Bai Yifei." I heard that General Bai has obtained a large piece of land for the Han Kingdom, stained the mountains with blood, and accumulated outstanding achievements. He even conquered the Bai Yue with an invincible force. Is that true?"”
" Yes," Bai Yifei said calmly as she stepped forward.”
"Good, good, good. As expected of a famous general of our Han Country.”King Han clapped his hands happily.
Among the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a powerful kingdom, the State of Jin (one of the five tyrants). The six ministers of Han, Zhao, Wei, Zhi, Fan, and Zhongxing monopolized power. Later, Han, Zhao, and Wei defeated the other three. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the three divided the State of Jin. This was a very important event during the transition period from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period. Later on, three of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period were divided into these three. In the end, the Han Country was continuously divided by the other four countries.
The main reason was that the Han Kingdom was located between the seven countries and was well-connected. Its economic development was rapid, but it was also this problem that caused the Han Kingdom to have no way out if it retreated.
"General Bai, do you have any rewards for your military achievements? Do you have any good suggestions?”King Hui of Han asked.
Ji Wuye took a step forward and bowed slightly." I think General Bai should be made a marquis.”
"Oh, where are the ministers?" King Hui of Han said lightly.
"In my opinion, General Bai should be made a marquis.”The words of the ministers in the court were constantly transmitted to King Hui of Han's ears.
Zhang Kaidi frowned slightly and was about to speak when he felt a cold aura assaulting his face. He turned around and saw Bai Yifei looking at him with a faint smile.
Seeing this, his forehead was covered in sweat. He stopped and said," Your Majesty, I think General Bai should be granted the title of Marquis."”
Hearing this, King Han Hui nodded and said," General Bai Yifei has made great contributions to the Han Kingdom. She has stained the mountains with her blood and accumulated a great number of bones. I hereby confer her the title of Marquis of Blood Cloth. She will receive ten thousand taels of gold, ten thousand hectares of land, a blood robe, and a blood fan.”
(In ancient times, status was divided into marquis, duke, uncle, son, and male. After all, Lu Buwei, who ruled over the entire Qin State, was merely the Marquis of Wenxing.）
