Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 60 Joining the Army (End)

"Your! Do you really like the army?" Li Si didn't answer, but asked Li You.

"Father! You know what your child likes since he was a child!" Li You didn't answer, but just said what he liked.

Li Si naturally knew that Li You liked to be a martial artist since he was a child, and even fantasized about becoming a general who can fight well when he grows up.

Hearing Li You's answer, Li Si nodded and said, "This time it's up to you! When I meet His Majesty the Emperor, I'll get you a better military post!"

"Thank you father!"

**********************
At the same time, Wang Li also talked to his grandfather at home that he would go to Shangjun to join the army this year.

Wang Jian was very curious. After learning that it was proposed by Xiang Yu, he already understood that Xiang Yu wanted to join the army to hone his martial arts.

Xiang Yu's martial arts has been recognized by Wang Jian and Meng Wu, two veterans in the battlefield, as well as Gong Sunhong and others!Almost all generals believed that Xiang Yu was the best of the next generation of generals, and some even asserted that Xiang Yu would be the commander of the next generation of generals in Daqin.

"Okay! Grandfather, I don't care about this face anymore! I'll ask His Majesty for a better military post for you, and I'll ask Xiang Yu for one too! How about it?" Wang Jian said after thinking about it.

When Wang Jian said that, Wang Li was very happy. He embraced Wang Jian with open arms, kissed him on the cheek, and thanked him loudly, "Thank you, grandfather!"

*****************************
The imperial palace, Qilin Hall.

Xiang Yu was called by Ying Zheng again to test the school's recent knowledge.

"Xiang Yu, have you taught "Shangshu" and "Book of Rites" recently?" Ying Zheng asked, looking at Xiang Yu standing in the hall.

"Return to Your Majesty! Yes, I have taught some of them recently!" Xiang Yu replied very respectfully.

Why is Xiang Yu respectful?As he said, Ying Zheng has always been very diligent in administration, and it can be said that he does everything by himself!Xiang Yu admires such a heart for governing the country!
"That's good! I will test you!" Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please come up with a question!" Xiang Yu cupped his hands without panic, and said very calmly.

"Among the Xia Shu, what are the songs of the five sons?" Ying Zheng looked at the Shang Shu on the table and asked.

Without even thinking about it, Xiang Yu immediately replied: "The first one said: The emperor has taught, the people can be close, but not down, the people are the foundation of the state, and the state is solid. I regard the world as fools and fools. One can win, one person loses three times." , Is the resentment in the clear, not seeing the picture. To the people of Linzhao, who is ashamed to control the six horses as if they are rotten, how can they be disrespectful to those who are superior? Ganjiu is addicted to sound, Junyu carved walls. There is one in this, and it may not die.; The third said: But Tao Tang, there is this Ji Fang. Today, if you lose the Jue Dao and mess up its discipline, it will perish.; The fourth is said : My ancestor in Ming Dynasty is the king of all nations. There are codes and rules, which will benefit the descendants. Guanshi and Jun, there are palaces. Desolate and ruined, the ancestors will be sacrificed!: The fifth is: "Woo hoo hoo return? I feel sad." Wan’s surname is Qiu Yu, who will I follow? Yu Tao is heartbroken, thick-faced and shy. Fu Shen Jude, even if you regret it, can you pursue it?”

While Xiang Yu was reciting it, Ying Zheng was facing the letter, and as expected, Xiang Yu's back was facing away again!

Ying Zheng nodded at the side, and then asked: "What are the six rites, seven religions, and eight politics?"

"The six rites are: Crown, Faint, Funeral, Sacrifice, Township, and Meeting. The Seven Religions are: Father and Son, Brothers, Husband and Wife, Monarch and Minister, Senior and Young, Friends, and Guests. The Eight Politics are: Food, Clothes, Things, Difference, degree, quantity, number, system." Xiang Yu said it again without hesitation.

Afterwards, Ying Zheng asked some more questions, and Xiang Yu answered them all correctly.

"Xiang Yu! No wonder so many doctors praised you in front of me! Tell me! What reward do you want this time?" Ying Zheng first said that many doctors who taught had praised Xiang Yu, and then asked.

As early as half a month ago, Xiang Yu made a bet with Ying Zheng that as long as he could answer Ying Zheng's questions in the book accurately and accurately for half a month, Ying Zheng would reward Xiang Yu.At that time, when Ying Zheng thought that everyone couldn't do it, he didn't believe that Xiang Yu could do it, so he agreed!
Now, Xiang Yu has been answering for half a month, and Ying Zheng, who is an emperor through the ages, will naturally not break his promise.

"I want to join the army! And I want to be with General Meng Tian! Please allow your Majesty!" Xiang Yu clasped his hands.

"Oh?" Ying Zheng was very surprised. He thought that Xiang Yu would ask for some good horses or weapons.Because Ying Zheng knew that Xiang Yu had trained a guard in Xiangjiazhuang outside the city. This guard lacked long weapons, only short weapons such as swords and knives!
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu would join the army, which was unexpected by Ying Zheng!

"Did you know that the law stipulates that men over 16 and under [-] can join the army?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Naturally!" Xiang Yu replied with cupped hands.

"You are only 13 years old now, and you have three years to join the army! Why do you ask me?" Ying Zheng was very curious, and he wanted to hear how Xiang Yu answered himself.

"Because there are still three years left, I have to ask Your Majesty to let me join the army!" Xiang Yu replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Now the two generals, General Meng Tian and General Zhengnan Zhonglang Ren Xiao, have dispatched troops. There will be no big wars in the next year! At that time, if I join the army, I will at most become a small officer guarding the frontier. This is not what I want!"

"Then what do you want?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"I want to participate in a large-scale battle and rely on my own merits to promote me! It is best to become a school lieutenant or even a captain within a few years, and then transfer to Kuaiji County as a county lieutenant!" Xiang Yu expressed his vision.

"Then why do you want to return to Kuaiji County to be a county lieutenant? Couldn't you be a Zhonglang general or other official position in Xianyang?" Ying Zheng was very curious about why Xiang Yu returned to Kuaiji.

"Your Majesty! Wealth and honor do not return home, like brocade clothes walking at night!" After Xiang Yu cupped his hands, he didn't say anything else, just said one sentence.

Xiang Yu's words made Ying Zheng very emotional.Did he himself go to Handan after the army broke through Handan, the capital of Zhao State, to let those who bullied him see his power now?Although Ying Zheng is not from Handan, he grew up in Handan, Zhao State.It was not until he was seven or eight years old that he returned to Qin and became the prince.

"Okay! I agree! How about you just be a five-hundred cavalry master?" Ying Zheng first agreed to Xiang Yu's request, and then gave Xiang Yu a military position to decide.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiang Yu was very happy to be able to get a military position of five hundred masters, so he naturally handed over his hands to thank him.

In fact, Xiang Yu didn't know that Wang Jian and Li Si helped him win this military position.Originally, Yingzheng wanted the position of Xiang Yu as one of the hundred generals, but after Li Si and Wang Jian's arguments, Yingzheng agreed to let Li You, Wang Li, and Xiang Yu be the five hundred masters at the same time and go to Mengtian to listen to the order!
