In the main hall, Wang He and the other generals reported the battle in Shangdang one by one.
After the war was reported, the King of Qin was not stingy and rewarded all the soldiers.
After the reward was completed.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the young general in the hall. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and an outstanding temperament.
Looking at him, everyone knew that this young general was Yang Chen, who had taken the lead in the battle of Shangdang.
Upon seeing him in person, everyone felt that this fellow was much younger than they had imagined. They were even certain that this fellow was not even twenty yet.
He could be said to be the youngest lieutenant in the history of the Qin country.
Such a young fellow had actually done such a shocking thing. Everyone was shocked and sighed in their hearts.
Beheaded fifteen people, beheaded a hundred people, took the lead in breaking through the city, and broke through seven cities in a row like lightning. In a short period of time, this young fellow had actually established such a shocking record.
Not only was he brave and invincible, but he also displayed a powerful ability to command troops!
Looking at him, all the ministers were discussing in low voices.
"Yang Qing!"
The King of Qin did not stop the discussion of the officials in the hall. Instead, he narrowed his smile and looked at Yang Chen. He was happy and sighed in his heart.
He really didn't expect this young general to have such powerful strength and powerful commanding skills.
Great Qin was truly fortunate!
"Great King!"
Yang Chen took a step forward and cupped his hands in greeting with a calm expression.
"Yang Qing is really young and promising. First, he beheaded fifteen people, then he beheaded a hundred and thirty-eight people. Now, with very little losses, he has broken through seven cities in a row. Tell me, how should I reward you?”
Qin Wang looked at Yang Chen with admiration.
"It's all up to the king!"
Yang Chen hoped that the King of Qin would confer him the title of Marquis, but how was that possible?
As the King of Qin, even though he could make an exception and be promoted, if he went too far, countless ministers and generals would definitely object.
"Mm, with your contribution of breaking through seven cities, you should be promoted by two ranks according to the rules. However, your achievements in this battle are remarkable, and you have raised the prestige of our Great Qin army.”
Qin Wang nodded slightly. After pondering for a moment, he said in a loud voice,
"Therefore, I have decided to bestow you with a rank of three, the Left Watch!”
"Other than bestowing a title, I know that your temporary position in the army is a lieutenant. If you lead the army with the position of lieutenant and make contributions, I will promote you again and grant you the rank of deputy general!”
"In addition, Yang Qing, this is your first time in Xianyang. I know that you have no residence in Xianyang, so I will give you another mansion!”
"Yang Qing, what do you think?"
Three rewards in a row shocked everyone in the hall.
Although they had expected the King of Qin to reward them handsomely, the reward was still more generous than they had imagined.
There was no need to mention the title of nobility. The title of nobility was even more important than the official position. It was the dream of every civil and military official.
As for his official position, Yang Chen was only temporarily appointed as a lieutenant by the general. Now, not only was he a lieutenant, but he was also promoted to a deputy general.
The deputy general army was the rank of general. This was already a high-ranking position of a general. With this position, one would have the opportunity to lead the three armies in battle.
He was so young, yet he was already a general. He should be the youngest general in the history of the Qin country to be promoted due to merit!
This was a promotion, an official title, and a house. Such a generous gift made everyone envious and amazed.
However, none of them dared to object.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm very satisfied!"
Yang Chen was also overjoyed. He had finally become a general.
The status and power of a general was much higher than that of a lieutenant. He had truly entered the ranks of generals in the army.
Furthermore, he did not have a place to stay in Xianyang this time!
As a deputy general, unless there was a war or he had to guard the border, he did not need to leave Xianyang. Therefore, he needed a place to stay in Xianyang.
Great, Qin Wang actually considered his residence, saving him the trouble of looking for a house.
"En, as long as Yang Qing is satisfied!"
Qin Wang nodded slightly and smiled.
After another round of rewards, the court meeting ended after a while.
All the officials left the hall.
Yang Chen had just left the main hall and was about to leave when many officials suddenly surrounded him.
"General Yang, congratulations!"
"General Yang is so young and already has a noble title. His future is definitely limitless…"
Just as Yang Chen was confused, Wang He said,
"This is Doctor Ling, Lord Guo Fei.”
"This is the chief justice of the Supreme Court…"
Yang Chen smiled and greeted them one by one. He understood that the old general Wang He had personally introduced them to him as a form of protection, so he was quite touched.
Soon, after introducing several people, Wang He raised his voice slightly,
"General Yang, this is the Imperial Censor of Qin State, Yang Quanjun!”
"Greetings, Lord Yangquan!"
Yang Chen also looked at the burly old man in front of him in surprise. He did not expect that this was one of the three dukes of the State of Qin, Lord Yang Quan.
"Oh, General Yang is young and promising. This Lord admires him. General Yang has just arrived in Xianyang. If you have any difficulties, feel free to look for this Lord!”
Yang Quanjun stroked his beard and looked at Yang Chen with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord Yangquan!" Yang Chen smiled and did not mind the other party's polite words.
After getting to know a few more ministers, no one came forward to greet him.
Looking at the scattered ministers, Wang He glanced at Yang Chen, who was calm and composed, and praised him in his heart.
"General Yang, the battlefield is different from officialdom. As long as you have strength and ability on the battlefield, everyone will obey you.”
Wang He reminded.
Yang Chen looked at Wang He sternly, knowing that Wang He was reminding him.
"The power of the royal court is complicated. Remember, don't get involved in the conflict!”
Wang He said deeply to Yang Chen.
"Thank you for your reminder, Old General. I will definitely remember it!”Yang Chen said to Wang He, feeling touched.
Although he knew that there was no lack of power struggles in the royal court, Wang He had supported him and urged him like a junior, which made him quite moved.
"Mm, quickly go and take a look at the mansion that the king has bestowed upon you. If you need my help, feel free to send someone to find me!”Wang He nodded slightly and smiled.
"When this general has settled down, invite the old general over for a drink!”
Yang Chen chuckled.
Although this was his first time attending court, he could already see that the old general Wang He was a neutral party in the court and did not participate in the power struggle of the court.
Especially since Wang He was his former superior, an extremely senior figure in the military, and someone who was like an elder, Yang Chen was naturally willing to get close to him.
Immediately, Yang Chen left the palace. Under the lead of the palace eunuch, he arrived at the manor that the King of Qin had bestowed upon him.
"Welcome back, General!"
At the entrance of the mansion, two rows of servants knelt on the ground and respectfully welcomed Yang Chen.
Now that Yang Chen's rank had reached the twelfth rank, the imperial court would bestow him with twelve servants.
"Get up!" Yang Chen nodded slightly and looked at the twelve servants kneeling on the ground. Out of the twelve servants, only three were men and the rest were women.
In the State of Qin, male slaves could also go to the battlefield. As long as they won a battle and earned merit, they could change the status of the slaves. They could become commoners or even nobles.
Therefore, there were not many male slaves.
"Raise your head!"
Yang Chen calmly said as he looked at the many servants who had their heads lowered and appeared somewhat nervous and afraid.
Hearing Yang Chen's words, those servants dared to raise their heads to look at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen ignored the three male servants and swept his gaze over the nine female servants.
Yang Chen was delighted when he saw this.
They were all very young girls.
Although they all looked malnourished and didn't look well, they all had delicate facial features and good figures.
Good heavens, the servants assigned to him were not bad.
