Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Yang Ming, the captain of Ganquan Palace, completed his career change because of Zhao Ji's order. From the captain in charge of the guards at the palace gate, he became the halberd bearer on duty for His Majesty in the main hall. He was on the left and right with Li Xin. .

In the spacious and luxurious hall, on the high platform in front of your majesty, Zhao Ji took the main seat as the owner of Ganquan Palace. Qin Wangzheng and his wife sat on the right side of Zhao Ji. The Queen Mother of Huayang and the Queen Mother of Xia The person sat on the left side of Zhao Ji.

The positions on the left and right sides are filled with the descendants of the Qin clan. Chang'an Jun Chengyu is ranked first on the right hand, while Changping Jun is ranked first on the left hand. The rest are either based on seniority or power. Each is divided into left and right rows.

There was a dancer dancing the graceful Chu dance in the field. This was the face Zhao Ji gave to her daughter-in-law, otherwise, she would not let the dancer perform the Chu dance.

Zhao Ji likes Zhao Wu more, but today's day is really special, so Zhao Ji can only do it a little bit.

Accompanied by musicians, Yang Ming was able to appreciate the world's top dance up close.

However, spectators like Zhao Ji had no intention of enjoying the dance at this time. Instead, they were talking to each other and laughing from time to time, looking like they were enjoying themselves.

Qin Wangzheng even summoned his younger brother Cheng Yu to his side and whispered something in a low voice. Cheng Yu didn't show any sign of disobedience and acted like a brother, friend and brother.

Yang Ming observed everything in front of him boredly. These people in the hall at this time are undoubtedly the real protagonists of Qin State now and in the next ten years. What Yang Ming pursues in a short period of time is almost at a similar banquet in the future. , being able to get a seat instead of just sitting like now.

"Your Majesty, do you recognize the lieutenant next to you, Ai Jia?" Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the throne, glanced lightly at the backs of His Majesty Yang Ming and Li Xin, and turned her head to face King Qin Zhengdao.

"The Queen Mother also recognizes Li Xin. Yes, Li Xin once participated in the competition in Ganquan Palace. I think the Queen Mother remembered Li Xin at that time." Qin Wangzheng was a little surprised when his mother Zhao Ji mentioned Li Xin, but his face remained the same. It is as calm as water.

This Prince of Qin, who was born in the capital of an enemy country, grew up in the court, and came into contact with all the first-class figures in the world, although he was only in his weak years, his maturity of mind and tenacity of temperament were far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

He lived deep in Xianyang Palace. Although he was close to adulthood, he had no intention of being in charge. Instead, like a dragon dormant in the abyss, he indifferently observed everything that happened in Xianyang and the Qin State, allowing Lu Buwei to take power. Let Cheng Xiu forge ahead, let the people from the Chu clan who have been dormant for nearly ten years surface.

He was just a calm observer, analyzing all the forces in the Qin State, silently accumulating his own strength, and weighing the options that were beneficial to him. Until one day, Qianlong jumped out of the abyss, stood majestically in Xianyang Palace, and transformed into the Qin State. The only king.

"Of course I remember, but, Your Majesty, the choice of your lieutenant was not very good. The captain of Ganquan Palace of the Ai family only had a rank of 600 shi, and your middle lieutenant also had a rank of 600 shi, but your middle lieutenant was in Ai at the time. The captain of the family couldn't even survive ten moves." Zhao Ji said with a look of disgust.

Even though Qin Wangzheng had a calm temperament, he was caught off guard by Zhao Ji's words at this time. He could only say: "The middle man, the widow, is naturally no match for the queen mother's captain. Let's just think that Li Xin took a big advantage."

Although Qin Wangzheng was caught off guard, he still knew enough about his mother, Zhao Ji, to know how to reply to Zhao Ji.

"Li Xin's martial arts is pretty good." Zhao Ji's words once again exceeded the expectations of those around her.

"Yang Ming, the captain of Ganquan Palace, has heard of his name in the Ai family. He is a very good young man. His martial arts skills are undoubtedly the best among his peers. It is indeed a bit unfair for such a genius to just be a captain." Because her niece and her family were concerned about the revival of the Chu clan, the Queen Mother Huayang also intended to improve relations with Zhao Ji, so she took the initiative to take Zhao Ji's words.

"Really?" Zhao Ji looked at Queen Mother Huayang, with a hint of joy in her brows.

"It seems that the news obtained by the Ai family is considered to be true." Seeing Zhao Ji's reaction, Queen Mother Huayang couldn't help but think of the information conveyed by the informant who stayed in Ganquan Palace: Queen Mother Zhao and her favorite captain Yang Ming, this person His status in Ganquan Palace is very high, and he will be in a high position in the court in the future.

Qin Wangzheng, who knew his mother Zhao Ji better than Queen Mother Huayang, heard this and understood what Zhao Ji really meant, so he said: "The imperial guards of Ganquan Palace are under the jurisdiction of the Weiwei Mansion, Yang Ming may be able to The Prime Minister of Weiwei Mansion."

"That's right, Li Xin is the lieutenant of the Xianyang Palace, with a rank of six hundred stones. Yang Ming's ability is even greater than that of Li Xin, and the prime minister of the Weiwei Mansion, who has a rank of one thousand stones, should be able to do the job." Empress Dowager Huayang agreed.

"Then it's settled. I don't think Lord Changping, the Lord Wei, would have any objections, right?" Zhao Ji said and looked at Xiong Qi, the first person on the left of His Majesty, Lord Changping.

When Li Xin, who was on guard, heard this, even if his mind was strong enough, he could not control his weird and awkward emotions at this time. He was..., even though Li Xin had long faced the gap in strength between himself and Yang Ming, but Being told this, I was still very unconvinced, feeling very aggrieved and embarrassed.

At this time, Yang Ming finally understood why Zhao Ji asked him to work as a halberd wielder tonight. It turned out that everything was waiting for him here, thinking of getting himself promoted.

For a moment, Yang Ming didn't know what to say. Could he say that Zhao Ji was troublesome? Wouldn't that be a good thing to get an advantage, but Yang Ming really has no intention of using Zhao Ji's power to promote himself.

Weiwei, one of the nine ministers of the Qin State, was in charge of the palace gate guards of the palaces. The Weiwei Mansion set up the post of Weiwei Zhongcheng, who was his deputy and assisted the Weiwei in commanding the imperial guards of the palaces. This was a role in the great dynasty. An official position qualified to stand at the door of the main hall.

One step further like this, the official positions of Jiuqing, a county governor, and an army commander were directly thrown on Yang Ming's head. Zhao Ji wanted to use the official positions to directly knock Yang Ming unconscious.

When Xiong Qi heard this, he had already reacted, so he quickly replied: "If Captain Yang is by your side to assist me, I will naturally wish for it."

"Mr. Changping, you can rest assured, the person chosen by the Ai family will not let you down." Zhao Ji smiled, and as she spoke, she glanced across Yang Ming's back, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: Little one, you have to thank Aijia properly this time.

In the midst of a joyful banquet, time passed. It was not until two hours later that the banquet dispersed and a car drove out of Ganquan Palace.

King Qin Zhengze and his wife Mi stayed in the side hall of Ganquan Palace.

"Zheng'er, although Queen Mother Huayang and others can rely on their power, they cannot be completely trusted. They must use their own talents." In the palace where only mother and son were left, Zhao Ji said to Qin Wangzheng.

"That's what the Queen Mother said." Qin Wangzheng replied respectfully, with no flaws in his words.

"It's a pity that the queen mother has a bad background and has no maternal clan to rely on, so she can't help you." Zhao Ji said with a look of regret.

Although Zhao Ji is not from a small family, her birth status is a fact among the Qin royal family. It is impossible for a force called foreign relatives to appear around her.

"The queen mother gave me life, this is the greatest gift." King Qin said.

"Yang Ming is a man with good martial arts skills and a smart person. He is currently studying the art of war with General Meng Ao. He has a very good relationship with Meng Ao's direct grandson Mengtian, and he himself is from the Yang family in Hua County." Zhao Ji said.

After seeing Qin Wangzheng's closeness to the Queen Mother of Huayang, Zhao Ji couldn't help but think of supporting her own people. Power was too important in Xianyang City.

"It's really remarkable to be valued by the general." King Qin nodded and said, his calm eyes were as deep as the sea, no one knew what he was thinking.

"His father Yang Xi is a direct descendant of the Yang family. He was a soldier of Lord Wu'an back then. He was exiled in the Kingdom of Zhao due to accidents." Zhao Ji introduced Yang Ming's situation to Qin Wangzheng.

She didn’t want Qin Wangzheng to promote Yang Ming. After all, Qin Wangzheng has not yet taken charge of the government, and he has no say in the appointment of officials. Zhao Ji’s real purpose is to introduce Yang Ming, one of her own, to Qin Wang. Zheng, she wanted Qin Wangzheng to know that if those from the Chu family could help him, she could do the same.

From Zhao Ji's point of view, training Yang Ming by herself would tie Yang Ming firmly to her side, and at the same time help Qin Wangzheng and increase Qin Wangzheng's power. No matter how you look at it, it is the best of both worlds.

But is there really such a thing as the best of both worlds?

"Wu'an Lord Bai Qi?" Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. Although Bai Qi has been dead for nearly twenty years, as the invincible killing god of the Qin State at that time, which of the Qin State's most important generals over forty years old has not The incense feeling of serving under him will decrease as time goes by, but it will not disappear.

In particular, during the recent period, Lu Buwei has vaguely shown his intention to reverse the case for Bai Qi, and then use this to show favor to those generals who served under Bai Qi in the past, so as to expand his influence in the military.

There are no outstanding figures in the Bai family today. If Bai Qi can really be overturned, then his legacy may be...

Qin Wangzheng might not be able to see a person with strong martial arts skills, and Meng Ao's disciple only slightly aroused his ideas, but when it came to Bai Qi and the military legacy behind him, Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but care.

Zhao Ji didn't know that her words had an effect, but continued: "He has no contact with Lu Buwei and Queen Mother Huayang. If the king wants to do something, he is the most suitable candidate."

"I know." Qin Wangzheng looked at Zhao Ji and said.

Yang Ming has no connection with his father-in-law and his grandmother, the Queen Mother, but he may not necessarily become a widower. Qin Wangzheng thought and looked away from Zhao Ji.

In Zhao Ji's understanding, Qin Wangzheng is her son first, and then the King of Qin. But in Qin Wangzheng's understanding, Zhao Ji is first the Queen Mother, and then her mother.

There seems to be no difference between the two ideas, but they are two completely different things.

The kings of all countries call themselves a widower, a widower, a widower, a widower. They will only fully believe in their own power. As for others, their trust is limited.
