Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

How did Lord Changping get the position of 'right prime minister'?

Because of merit?

No, although in terms of merit alone, Lord Changping can indeed be promoted to the position of "right prime minister" now. If nothing else, at least when Lao Ai rebelled, Lord Changping and Lord Changwen did have a big difference. strength.

But this time, the reason why Lord Changping got the position of 'right prime minister' was mainly because of Empress Dowager Huayang's 'dying entrustment'.

On the surface, making Changping Lord the "right prime minister" of Qin seems to be just an old man's dying request.

But in fact.

As the grandmother of Ying Zheng, Queen Mother Huayang's dying request is more appropriate to be described as a 'threat' than a request to Ying Zheng.

The reason lies in the word ‘filial piety’.

Morality is a shackle. Sometimes when used well, even Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, has to be subject to certain restrictions.

Coupled with the rights possessed by the Queen Mother Huayang herself.

It can be said that for the sake of the "Chu foreign relatives", Queen Mother Huayang, the Queen Mother of Qin, plotted against Ying Zheng until her death.

However, for today's Ying Zheng, this level of calculation will bring certain restrictions to him, but if Ying Zheng is really unwilling to agree, in fact, even the Queen Mother Huayang has nothing to do.

But in the end, Ying Zheng still agreed to this 'death-related request' from the Queen Mother Huayang.

This can be regarded as Ying Zheng repaying the favor to the Queen Mother Huayang.

After all, when Ying Zheng had just ascended the throne and was still weak, the Queen Mother Huayang did protect Ying Zheng many times, if it weren't for the "Four Major Clans in Nanjun" incident later.

With this kind of kindness alone, Lord Changping and the "lineage of overseas relatives of Chu" can definitely rise to the top after Yingzheng gains power.

However, agreeing to make Lord Changping the 'right prime minister' was a return of favor, and making Lord Mo the 'official imperial censor' was a warning.

Warn Changping Jun and the Queen Mother Huayang that no one in the world can interfere with Ying Zheng's decision, not even his own 'grandmother'.

at this point.

From the moment when Ying Zheng decreed that Lord Mo be made the ‘Yu Shi Dafu’, Changping Lord Xiong Qi had already seen it.

Not only that.

Xiong Qi could also see that after this incident, all the ties between Queen Mother Huayang and Ying Zheng would be completely severed.

Not many people know about the 'deal' between Queen Mother Huayang and Ying Zheng. For most officials in the court, the significance of Mr. Mo's promotion to the imperial censor is that in this game, Mr. Mo Didn't lose.

The originally tilted balance returned to its previous balance of power.

······

An hour later.

The court meeting officially ended, and all the civil and military officials left.

The situation in today's court meeting was full of ups and downs. The game between Mo Jun and Chang Ping Jun made everyone in the court extremely happy.

Although in this so-called 'game', Mr. Mo actually didn't do anything.

In Xianyang East Palace, Fusu, who lives here, also officially received the "Supervise the Country" edict from Ying Zheng.

As for the person who issued the edict, it was naturally Zhao Gao.

Because Zhao Gao is capable, can speak, and writes well, he is becoming more and more popular with Ying Zheng when he is with him. However, the problem is that although Ying Zheng likes him very much now, he has never really given him love. He has real power.

the reason is simple.

Because Mo Jun and Zhao Gao were 'too close'.

Looking back on the first half of this year, Zhao Gao's little life in Xianyang Palace was so comfortable that even Ying Zheng was a little jealous.

After all, ever since Ying Zheng left Mo Jun and returned to Xianyang.

Every now and then.

Lord Mo would send someone to deliver some fresh fruits and vegetables, and he would give them to Zhao Gao by name.

The reason was to thank Chamberlain Zhao for his 'life-saving grace'. Lord Mo specially sent someone to deliver this 'little gift' to express his feelings and hoped that Chamberlain Zhao would never dislike it.

And during this time.

Zhao Gao also experienced firsthand what is meant by "little etiquette but heavy affection".

What stands out about this gift from Mr. Mo is its particularity.

Are fruits and vegetables valuable?

obviously.

This kind of thing is worthless at all.

But who gave Mo Jun a good time to give gifts! Winter turns to spring, and spring and early summer are the seasons when all things revive. At this time, fruits and vegetables are just growing but not yet mature. Therefore, giving fruits and vegetables as gifts at this time is not valuable, but it is rare.

Even if Ying Zheng sees such a 'little gift', he can't say anything.

After all, as the majestic King of Qin, you can't just hold on to your pigtails just because of some worthless food, right? Although this little snack is not much available even in the palace.

But although I can't say.

Ying Zheng silently remembered all this in his heart.

[The relationship between my chamberlain and my Lord Shengping is really good! 】

[Well, everyone is a little confused. Is this my chamberlain or someone else's chamberlain? 】

Take a look.

Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but be 'jealous' of the current relationship between Mo Jun and Zhao Gao.

One can imagine.

How good is the relationship between the two now?

Not only that.

Ying Zheng's side is just one aspect. Zhao Gao, a mere chamberlain, actually gained the attention of the majestic Qin State Sage Pingjun. This also made his status and reputation among the chamberlains rise slowly!

This result naturally made Zhao Gao say "thank you" to Mr. Mo, so that not long ago he specially sent someone to give Mr. Mo a "cut off water" as a gift.

After getting the news that day, [Luowen] sent someone to praise Zhao Gao for being "open" and wrote a big mistake to Zhao Gao again.

It has been almost a year since Luo Wang reappeared.

A whole year.

Zhao Gao's status and reputation in the Qin Kingdom have increased a lot, but he has not gained much actual power. If it weren't for his close relationship with Ying Zheng, [Luowang] would have already planned to re-select a leader candidate. .

After delivering Ying Zheng's edict, Zhao Gao returned from the East Palace.

Along the way.

All the chamberlains he met bowed to Zhao Gao and even several chamberlains with similar status to him in the harem looked very respectful after seeing Zhao Gao.

What stands out is a status.

Zhao Gao naturally maintained a polite smile on the surface. Every servant who saluted him, Zhao Gao returned the salute politely.

However, when Zhao Gao returned to his room and closed the door, his face immediately turned gloomy.

"Mr. Mo······"

Today's meeting made Zhao Gao think of Lord Mo again. Now, just thinking of Lord Mo made him gnash his teeth with hatred.

At this moment, as a breeze blew by, a black shadow suddenly flashed into Zhao Gao's room.
