Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

"My lord, Sir Mo, please see your Majesty!"

"No gift!"

A majestic and magnetic voice came from the throne. It was only then that Lord Mo raised his head and saw the entire Zhangtai Palace clearly.

There are two people on the throne.

A man is sitting on the throne, wearing a crown. Although his appearance cannot be seen clearly, his aura is firm and majestic.

The other person has a handsome face, but has a pair of piercing eyes. He is dressed in white and holds a long sword, the only weapon in the entire Zhangtai Palace.

The two are not others.

It is the current Qin King Ying Zheng, and his chief swordsmanship teacher Gai Nie.

On both sides of the throne were several civil and military ministers. On one side of the general was an old acquaintance of Lord Mo, Meng Ao.

At the head of the civil servant side is an old man with upturned eyebrows and a majestic but somewhat sinister temperament. He is the current Prime Minister Lu Buwei.

The Qin State did not say anything about its early dynasty, but today it was just for Mo Jun's reward, but it attracted so many big shots. One can imagine how much "face" Mo Jun has.

When Mr. Mo stood up, Ying Zheng on the throne looked at Mr. Mo carefully for a few times, and then there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes under the crown.

Then he said: "Declarate the edict!"

"yes!"

The guard below received the command, then held an imperial edict in both hands, bowed in front of everyone, and said sharply: "Doctor Mo Jun comes forward to receive the imperial edict."

Lord Mo hurriedly folded his hands and saluted: "My lord, Sir Mo, the doctor, accepts the imperial edict."

"Doctor Mo Jun is extremely talented. He created his own 'new sword-created medicine' and dedicated it to the Qin Dynasty, which saved thousands of warriors of the Qin Dynasty. He has made outstanding achievements. Now I grant Dr. Mo Jun the title of promotion to the sixth rank and the title of the right concubine. I also give you two thousand hectares of fertile land in Hanzhong· ·····”

The reward from this edict is obviously much richer than the reward from the last secret edict.

But overall.

Throughout the Warring States Period, the truly valuable rewards were nothing more than official titles, fertile land and houses, livestock and food... As for the others, they were basically just add-ons.

With this reward, Mo Jun became the right concubine, which was the eleventh rank in the Qin Dynasty.

Even after the implementation of the 'military meritocracy system' in the Qin State, the difficulty of obtaining titles has been reduced, but there are still very few people in the entire Qin State who can hold eleventh-class titles.

It can be said that Mr. Mo has now become a middle- and upper-class aristocrat in the Qin Kingdom from a refugee just by virtue of his 'new knife-created medicine'.

However, the rewards are not over yet, because after Shang Jun's reform, most of the simple titles in Qin have become a false position without real power.

If it had been before, Ying Zheng's reward might have ended here.

But not long ago, Mo Jun specially gave Ying Zheng 25,000 dendrobium grains as bait, so now, Ying Zheng can never just let a capable and loyal talent like Mo Jun do nothing.

as expected.

After the edict for knighthood was announced, the guard who announced the edict took out another edict and was about to continue reading it.

But at this moment, I saw a figure walking out of the crowd and saying loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

obviously.

There are probably only a few people in the entire Qin Kingdom who dare to interrupt Ying Zheng's edict at this time.

But the person who spoke this time happened to be qualified, because this person was none other than the current Prime Minister Lu Buwei.

Seeing Lu Buwei walking out, Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "What's important, Prime Minister Lu? Can't we wait until the edict is finished?"

Lu Buwei folded his hands and saluted, and said respectfully: "The matter that I want to report is related to Lord Mo's right concubine."

Ying Zheng opened his eyes and said slowly: "Oh? I wonder what Prime Minister Lu has to say."

Lu Buwei glanced at Lord Mo slightly and said, "I think Lord Mo has already made such great contributions at a young age and has unlimited potential in the future. Therefore, I think that only by offering a heavy reward can we demonstrate our great Qin style." .”

"So I thought that I should bestow upon Lord Mo the title of Lord of Concubine Youshang Shaoshangzao, and at the same time receive the post of a county governor to practice, so that I can step into the position of Jiuqing and serve the king in the future."

As soon as Lu Buwei finished speaking, he saw the Meng Ao Yue people on the side of the military commander walking out and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu's words are wrong. It is precisely because Mr. Mo, Youshu, is still young, so he still needs more time to settle. Now, It would be too arrogant to reward a young man with a noble title."

When Lu Buwei saw Meng Ao walking out, he immediately narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh? Then according to General Meng's wishes, how long will it take for Mr. Mo to settle down? One year? Five years? Or ten years?"

"I believe that one's ambitions are not due to one's youth. Our country, the Qin Dynasty, governs the country with laws, rewards and punishments, and the system is strict. Rewards for meritorious deeds, and punishment for transgressions. This is the foundation of the strength of our country, Qin."

"If we deliberately suppress the merits of others because of their age, wouldn't it chill the hearts of many meritorious people in our Da Qin?"

When Meng Ao heard this, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, but Lu Buwei looked at him without fear.

But when he heard this, Mo Jun was about to curse.

Damn it.

This old guy has no martial ethics.

This is not asking for credit for him, it is simply flattering him!

Although Wang Jian and Mo Jun first heard that Lu Buwei took the initiative to submit a memorial to ask for credit for themselves, they had already sensed the atmosphere of conspiracy.

After all, although Mr. Mo did not blatantly refuse the other party's solicitation before, he avoided it several times. Two or three times may be considered a coincidence, but as time goes by, the "net" in the other party's hands will inevitably detect the clues.

So when he learned that the other party had performed meritorious deeds for him, Mr. Mo guessed that Lu Buwei might have found out something, such as: Ying Zheng's secret edict to reward him.

But I never expected that this old guy would be so insidious.

As Lu Buwei himself said before, the Qin Dynasty now governs the country by law, the laws are strict, and various rewards and punishments have already formed a strict system.

Therefore, even if Lu Buwei is the prime minister, it would be quite difficult to openly suppress a meritorious minister.

What's more, with Mo Jun's current reputation, it is almost impossible to silently erase his achievements.

But as the saying goes, good and bad fortunes depend on each other. It is indeed difficult to suppress Mr. Mo's reputation now, but if Lu Buwei in turn increases it, Mr. Mo's reputation will become a bucket of oil poured on the fire.

Although this sudden attack is not too technical, it is extremely practical.

The first is Ying Zheng’s side.

Regarding Mo Jun's trump card, Ying Zheng has always adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile and hiding it as long as possible.

Although Mr. Mo has gained some limelight during this period, most of the attention is still focused on himself, and his secret relationship with Ying Zheng is not involved.

But now that Lu Buwei has shown such a direct attitude towards Mo Jun, it may not be long before someone will think of the relationship between Mo Jun and Ying Zheng.

But this is not the most insidious part. Lu Buwei’s truly insidious blow mainly struck Mr. Mo himself...
