Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

In the following time, Yang Ming had nothing else to do except practice swordsmanship. The follow-up matters of the war had their own dedicated government offices and ministers responsible for rewards and punishments. All Yang Ming did was wait for his share. Military merit becomes something substantial and falls into one's own pocket.

When the time came to May, the entire south bank of the river in the Qin State had entered the busy farming season. It was also at this time that the war that took place in the sixth year of King Qin's reign, and the last joint war in the world, came to a complete end.

But the impact of this war is still continuing. In the distant Chenying State of Chu, the kings and ministers of the Chu State were already discussing moving the capital to Huainan to avoid the Qin army.

After the defeat of the State of Zhao, the tiger's wounds made the Zhao army even more ferocious. The Zhao army that returned to the border of the State of Zhao did not disband, but went directly towards the State of Qi. The poor State of Qi wanted to stay out of the matter, but instead However, the door was still locked, so that several more cities could not be captured by Zhao Guo.

In the distant Yan State, the long-lasting debate about whether to form an alliance with Qin has gradually received a detailed answer.

South Korea is also looking for its own way out.

Everyone in the Wei State was also worried, wondering which country Qin's revenge would come to?

This question is really a question that people don’t want to think about, but they cannot help but think about it.

However, these have little to do with Yang Ming. Here, the rewards and punishments of this battle finally came to fruition. Yang Ming, the man who led three thousand palace guards to the aid of Qicheng, in this battle, can be said to be It is the existence that performs the most brilliantly. Whether it is the contribution to the overall battle situation or the number of kills in the battle, it is the existence of the highest minority.

Yang Ming, a white man with no title even though he has the title of Weiweifu Zhongcheng, has truly obtained his own title, the title he fought for with his own sword and halberd: Fifth Doctor, ranking in the twentieth military title. The ninth level in the army is considered to be the middle-level existence in the twenty military merit system.

At the same time, Wang Jian also received the title of Five Doctors.

Zhao Ji was not satisfied with this result. Her original intention was for Yang Ming to obtain the title of Zuo Shuchang, so that when Yang Ming entered the court, he could be compared with the nine ministers, and when he entered and exited, he could be said to be the leader of a county, and when he marched, he could be the leader of the county. The commander-in-chief of an army.

But the reality is cruel. Zhao Ji does not understand the detailed rules of rewards and punishments for Qin's military merits. When Lu Buwei and others refused her request because the Queen Mother did not understand the rules, even Zhao Ji was helpless because it involved the Qin State. The most fundamental military merit system, even she would find it difficult to act arbitrarily.

"Lü Buwei is embarrassed. He is already the Marquis of Che and cannot be promoted, so he increases his settlement to 100,000 households. What does he want to do? At that time, Lord Wu'an Bai Qi did not have so many settlements despite his great military exploits. He He is quite thick-skinned, has he really forgotten how he was defeated by Yang Ming's general Pang Nuan when he was chasing the Zhao Wei coalition?" In Xianyang Palace, Zhao Ji failed to get what she wanted. He complained in front of Qin Wangzheng with a sneer.

"Father Zhong made great contributions to strategizing this war." Qin Wangzheng said noncommittally.

"Planning strategies? That's what Lu Buwei said? Hehe, his face is extraordinary. If he was strategizing, he would also let tens of thousands of Zhao Wei coalition troops rush to Guanzhong, which is only dozens of miles away from Xianyang. He is exercising power. What does he want to do by bullying you, the king? Could it be that he wants to be a powerful minister?" Zhao Ji sneered.

Isn't this a sin if the enemy almost attacks the capital?

Lu Buwei's unruly behavior was a trampling on the royal power, but the royal power belonged to the Qin Dynasty. How could Zhao Ji not be angry when Lu Buwei bullied her son like this? What's more, in the process of recounting his merits, Lu Buwei also After bullying Yang Ming, new and old hatreds were added together. At this time, Zhao Ji's hatred for Lu Buwei had reached its peak.

"But the result is good after all. If Father Zhong hadn't responded in time, it would have been difficult to defend Qin City." King Qin said.

"Your Majesty, do you really think so?" Zhao Ji looked at Qin Wangzheng, with the scrutiny of a mother in her eyes.

"Yes." Qin Wangzheng nodded.

"That's it." Zhao Ji said in an inexplicable tone, and she didn't know what she was thinking of.

Qin Wangzheng looked at his mother Zhao Ji who was still angry, and for a moment he didn't know where Zhao Ji's anger came from.

Is it because Zhong's father is in power and feels injustice for others, or is it simply because he fails to get what he wants from his own people.

Thinking of this, Qin Wangzheng's heart couldn't help but a bold and crazy idea appeared in his mind uncontrollably: the Queen Mother and Zhong's father were not getting along, which might be more beneficial to the widow.

Thinking of this, King Qin couldn't help but ponder. The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt. He was already nineteen years old. According to tradition, he was about to reach the age of being crowned. But at the moment, no ministers in the court took the initiative to report this matter. It was just someone who suppressed the ministers who had this idea. Who that person was was naturally self-evident.

"The governor of Hedong County lost his opportunity before the battle, causing the Zhao and Wei coalition forces to rush into Xianyang from his jurisdiction, which almost caused the war to collapse. He made a serious mistake. According to military law, he was the Yi tribe. However, he wanted to fight Zhao and Wei to the death on the south bank of the river. The coalition forces refused to retreat and sacrificed their lives for the country, so the sentence was changed and the three tribes were exiled to the border areas of Longxi and their property was confiscated." King Qin said.

"Why is your Majesty telling the Ai family this?" Zhao Ji asked doubtfully.

"The governor of Hedong County has a large mansion in the inner city of Xianyang. Outside Xianyang City, there is also a manor covering an area of ​​100 hectares, which can be awarded to Yang Ming who has made great achievements." King Qin said.

"This Hedong County Sheriff's family property is quite rich." Zhao Ji muttered, her eyes narrowed subconsciously.

How could Qin Wangzheng, who was quite familiar with Zhao Ji's little habits, not see that Zhao Ji was in a very good mood at this time and was no longer as angry as before, but this discovery did not make Qin Wangzheng feel any happy feeling. , but the doubts that have been lingering in my heart have become deeper.

"Hedong is an important place, and its governor has a very good position in Qin." King Qin said.

"Mother, you don't have to quarrel with Father Zhong because of me. Besides, Yang Ming..." Qin Wangzheng looked thoughtful as he spoke.

"What's wrong?" When Zhao Ji heard Qin Wangzheng talking about Yang Ming, she looked at Qin Wangzheng subconsciously, feeling a little guilty and regretting whether she was too angry and overreacted.

"If the Queen Mother wants to promote Yang Ming, there is actually another chance." King Qin said.

"Actually, the Ai family has no intention of raising Yang Ming to a high position, but..." Zhao Ji pondered, and then thought that being so secretive wouldn't make her feel even more guilty, so she changed her words: "It's just that Yang Ming He has made great achievements, but if he cannot be treated fairly, wouldn’t it mean that anyone can bully the people of the Ai family?”

"I know what my mother is thinking, so there is another opportunity for Yang Ming to make meritorious service. If Yang Ming can earn this merit, he will be promoted to Zuo Shuchang, and then he will be ranked as the ninth minister, or As the governor of a county and the commander of an army, even Zhongfu can't say anything more." King Qin said, his voice was still calm, making it difficult for people to hear anything from his tone, but between his words But it's quite confusing.

"What opportunity?" Zhao Ji was indeed moved.

"Among the five-nation coalition, there is also a small Wei State. Although Wei State is only here because of Wei State, since it dares to come, it is natural to teach it and the Wei State behind it a lesson." King Qin said.

"Weiguo?" Zhao Ji asked in surprise, what does Weiguo have to do with Yang Ming?

"In early autumn, the Qin State will launch troops against the Wei State. If the Queen Mother is interested, she can make preparations in advance and help Yang Ming lead the troops to attack the Wei State. The Wei State and the small country will be able to defeat the country in one battle with Yang Ming's ability. When the time comes, , to use the merit of destroying the country, although this country is a little small, but it is still the fault of destroying the country. When the time comes, if Yang Ming is promoted to a high position, even Father Zhong will not be able to say anything." Qin Wang Zhengdao.

"I see, this is a good idea, but how can the Ai family facilitate this?" Zhao Ji asked.

"This? Mother, you might want to ask your grandmother, the Queen Mother. She is familiar with government affairs, and I think she should have a good idea." Qin Wangzheng said.

"She?" Zhao Ji stared at Qin Wangzheng after hearing this, but how could she tell what Qin Wangzheng was thinking with her eyesight.

"She is really good at this." Zhao Ji, who couldn't see why, nodded thoughtfully, which made her look less stupid.

If Yang Ming had known from the beginning that Zhao Ji's stupidity was beyond his imagination, he might have changed his plan. Unfortunately, now he has completely boarded Zhao Ji's ship. Thinking about it again, I'm afraid... Difficult.

However, luckily for Yang Ming, he didn't know that much, so when Zhao Ji handed a house deed to Yang Ming, Yang Ming was still very happy.

In his hand was a piece of plain silk, on which was drawn a large-scale mansion, covering a large area from front to back. Beside it were rows of small seals recording the regulations, area and property rights of the mansion, as well as its internal history. The seal of the government.

"Finally I have a big house to live in." Yang Ming put away the silk and did not hide his joy at all. After all, in front of Zhao Ji, he no longer needed to show off or hide anything as deliberately as before. .

After all, the two of them are already very familiar with each other.

"Do you like big houses so much?" Zhao Ji felt happy when she saw Yang Ming happy.

"First of all, build a big bathroom." Yang Mingchang thought, this is something he has been thinking about for a long time.

"Bah, you little dirty brat, you don't want to do anything good." Zhao Ji said with disgust when she heard this.

"I'm talking about taking a bath." Yang Ming explained.

"That's what Ai Jia said." Zhao Ji's eyes widened, and then her face turned red. What happened in the bathroom of Ganquan Palace last month appeared in her mind uncontrollably.

Yang Ming was slightly startled when he saw Zhao Ji at this time. She was really a passionate queen mother.

For a moment, Yang Ming and Zhao Ji looked at each other, both of them seeing something strange about the other.

"Today's weather seems a bit hot. It's already May, which is an extremely hot time of the year." Zhao Ji said pointedly.

"Yes, Queen Mother, you are sweating." Yang Ming said.

"So?" Although Zhao Ji was asking, it was obvious that she already had the answer she wanted in her heart.

"Of course we are looking for a place where we can enjoy the cool air." Yang Ming picked up Zhao Ji by the waist as he spoke.

There is no other way. We just got a big mansion that we have longed for. People should be grateful. Faced with such kindness from the Queen Mother, what can Yang Ming, a young man with only one thing, do?

The only way he can become big is to work hard and die.

When Yang Ming left Ganquan Palace, it was already nightfall. Taking advantage of the darkness, Yang Ming rode alone on the way back to the small courtyard. He touched the house deed in his arms and thought of many things.

For an existence like a house, there is a deep obsession imprinted in Yang Ming's soul.
