Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

After Yang Ming left with Xue Nu, Qin Wangzheng and Zhao Ji talked about Yang Ming. Qin Wangzheng asked: "How did the Queen Mother discover Yang Ming among the palace guards in Ganquan Palace?"

After the discussion just now, Qin Wangzheng became more interested in Yang Ming. As for Yang Ming's origin, Qin Wangzheng had already investigated clearly. Although the events of that year were secret, they were not without clues. But it was precisely because of this Qin Wangzheng was curious, how could a person from such a simple background be able to cultivate civil and military skills to the pinnacle at the same time?

Martial arts is just that, maybe it only takes a chance. As for military skills, Yang Ming also practiced with Qin's old general Meng Ao, but what about writing? In terms of literature, it is difficult to achieve anything without a teacher. Don't you think that even a genius like Han Fei would have to be a disciple of Xun Kuang?

Could it be that there were more secrets in his first fourteen years of life? Qin Wangzheng speculated that in his investigation of Yang Ming, he could only investigate until the age of fourteen. As for the previous Yang Ming, with the manor turned into ruins, I am afraid no one knows that Yang Ming was fourteen years old. Experienced before.

Hearing Qin Wangzheng's question, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel guilty. Could it be that the king was suspicious? However, Zhao Ji may not have many other advantages, but his big heart far exceeds that of ordinary people. Therefore, his guilty conscience only lasted for a moment. In the expectation of Qin Wangzheng, Zhao Ji revealed his memory and said: "At that time, the Ai family needed to move out of Xianyang Palace. As for the reason, Your Majesty, you know the reason. The Ai family was not in a very good mood at that time, so they wanted to go out to relax. And because they wanted to move to Ganquan Palace, they wanted to Go check it out."

"That incident was indeed an injustice to the queen mother." Hearing Zhao Ji talk about the past, Qin Wangzheng was slightly moved and said. He had just succeeded to the throne a few years ago. Although Zhao Ji was respected in the Qin court, Zhao Ji, who was not good at political power, could not effectively exercise her power, which caused many factions to fight with each other in the Qin court.

As Qin Wangzheng himself grew older, in order to win over the forces headed by the Queen Mother Huayang, when considering the marriage affairs of Qin Wangzheng, he naturally had to give priority to the Chu State where the Queen Mother Huayang was born. After some exchanges of power, Qin Wangzheng got what he wanted, but as a price, Zhao Ji needed to move out of Xianyang Palace, because Xianyang Palace only needed one mistress.

This was an exchange of power, and it was also the custom of the world. It can be said that in that incident, both the King of Qin and the Queen Mother of Huayang got what they wanted, and only Zhao Ji was the one who lost. Bit, of course, depends on how you understand it.

"There is no grievance. The Ai family has lost something, and the king has also gained something. From this point of view, we can't be considered a loss." Zhao Ji said with a smile. She had already thought about things that she couldn't think about. After all, using something that belongs to you in exchange for the opportunity of Qin Wangzheng is really not a loss for Zhao Ji, a mother-in-law.

"What are you talking about? Let's continue what I just said. The Ai family went to Ganquan Palace that day and saw that all the palace guards there looked listless. The entire Ganquan Palace was filled with the atmosphere of a cold palace. However, turning around Then I discovered something interesting. I saw a little guy practicing martial arts. Although the martial arts was not very powerful, it looked very beautiful, so I paid attention to it." Zhao Ji then recalled. .

When Qin Wangzheng wanted to find out more details about Yang Ming, Yang Ming had already taken Xue Nu back to his military camp outside the Zhao capital. During this period, Yang Ming had been handling official duties in the city during the day, but at night Will leave Zhaodu and return to the military camp.

Having occupied the capital of Zhao, Yang Ming did not leave too many garrison troops in the city. After all, if the Qin army was everywhere in the city of Zhao, it would easily remind the Zhao people of the subjugation of the country. In my mind, although the trouble may not be big, it is still an unbearable trouble.

It is easy to conquer the State of Zhao, but it is quite troublesome to truly conquer the State of Zhao in the minds of the Zhao people. There are too many factors involved, and even if there is a slight mistake in the link, it may lead to a disaster. Bigger twists and turns.

However, now that Qin Wangzheng has arrived, Yang Ming only needs to give his own suggestions. As for more specific things, let Qin Wangzheng worry about them. Anyway, Qin Wangzheng likes to do these things the most.

According to the gossip about Qin Wangzheng that Yang Ming heard from Zhao Ji, Qin Wangzheng is a person who can review nearly ten thousand kilograms of memorials in a month, and can do so all year round. This passion for work is no matter what. Yang Ming can't compare.

In the big tent that belonged to Yang Ming, Yang Ming looked at Xue Nu who was preparing food and said with a smile: "I don't know when Xue Nu also practiced cooking."

"My brother hasn't been at home much in the past two years. When he was at home, he was busy with this and that. Naturally, he wouldn't know." Xue Nu, who was carefully grilling a mutton chop, raised her head and said to Yang Ming, with a clear voice. There seems to be a touch of sourness. A sister is just a sister after all. How can she be compared to the person on my pillow? What's more, this sister is not a kiss.

"Really?" Yang Ming said slightly embarrassed. Has he really neglected the Snow Girl in the past two years? However, after all, the family was getting bigger and there were more people. Yang Ming, who was still unsure, made excuses for himself.

"Yes." Faced with Yang Ming's question, Xue Nu nodded firmly. On this point, there was no room for doubt.

"Okay, I was wrong. I must pay attention to it in the future." Yang Ming, who was stared at with a serious face, could only promise with a little guilt.

"I don't blame my brother, so why should I apologize? Besides, I understand you, brother. After all, you have several more nephews, and the snow girl is no longer the youngest in the family." The seriousness of the snow girl has already bloomed. A faint smile.

"She's still very young!" Yang Ming looked at Xue Nu and said. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old Xue Nu was beginning to enter the young age stage, but it was only the beginning. Compared with the other girls of Yan Ling Ji, she was naturally not much younger. Smaller.

"No way." In Yang Ming's sight, Xue Nu didn't know what she had misunderstood, and she straightened out her chest. She was obviously not young anymore. Of course, except for those who were already young at a young age, Someone who is extremely domineering, such as Guren.

However, after saying this, Xue Nu's face couldn't help but turn red. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Come on, let me try it too. I think my skills are pretty good. Although you guys have made me lazy in the past few years, I shouldn't be too bad." Yang Ming saw the snow girl's momentary embarrassment. Taking the initiative to step forward broke the awkward atmosphere that would become more awkward due to silence.

"It can only be said that it's barely unpalatable." The snow girl also said in agreement. Anyway, no matter what she said, it was better than the topic just now.

"That's because Xue'er's requirements are too high. My requirements for meat have never been high." Yang Ming said nonchalantly.

Regarding food, although Yang Ming's requirements are not low compared to ordinary people, they are still far behind those who really eat well. Naturally, his requirements are very simple, but when it comes to eating this, Yang Ming actually thinks of it. A person, the Mo family's cook Ding, came into Yang Ming's sight again because of Yan Dan. It was time to deal with it, so as not to get the Mo family into an insignificant fight because of Yan Dan.

The Mo family should have set things right a long time ago. No matter what, Mo Mei is now in the hands of Yang Ming. Yang Ming has the unshirkable responsibility for the rise and fall of the Mo family.

As the two chatted, time passed quickly. In Zhao Di, Yang Ming and Xue Nu already had common memories.

On the second day, Qin Wangzheng felt a little uncomfortable without a lot of slips in his hand, and even his wrists felt a little light.

"Is this really true?" Qin Wangzheng moved his wrist, took out the sword on the wooden stand, and decided to stretch his muscles. With a swordsman genius like Gai Nie by his side, even though Qin Wangzheng could not spend enough energy on swordsmanship. There are many, but he still has good swordsmanship.

However, Qin Wangzheng's decision seemed to be a little too premature, because he had just walked out of the room and saw Yang Ming had arrived at the entrance of the street, and behind him, there seemed to be a carriage loaded with bamboo slips.

Qin Wangzheng was quite surprised by Yang Ming's appearance, but he still asked the guards to let Yang Ming pass. At this time, the carriage behind Yang Ming was fully revealed, and it was not just one carriage, but three whole carriages.

"Your Majesty, Yang Ming, pays homage to your Majesty." Yang Ming walked into the courtyard and bowed to the Prince.

"What are the two carriages behind the guard captain carrying?" Qin Wangzheng looked directly past Yang Ming and landed on the mountain-like bamboo slips piled on the carriage. This weight is quite a lot. .

"The first two carriages carried things related to household registration, land registration, and taxation of all parties in the Zhao region, while the bamboo slips in the third carriage contained information about the various places in the Zhao region from the township to the county, then to the county and the center of the capital of Zhao. Only by mastering the information of many officials and petty officials can we truly master the state of Zhao, so I specially sent it here for the king to review." Yang Ming explained.

"The captain of the guard army is interested." Qin Wangzheng heard Yang Ming's explanation and smiled on his face. These things seemed to be just bamboo slips and not worth much, but their real value was hard to come by. It is estimated that Yang Ming was able to sort out these things and send them to him, which can be said to be true attentiveness.

And when Yang Ming, who had always been lazy when it came to government affairs, could be so attentive, Qin Wangzheng still felt quite gratified.

However, Qin Wangzheng was still happy too early. Soon he would find that the food Yang Ming sent was not only delicious, but also poisonous. This made King Qin, who was more greedy than anyone else, suddenly fall into a trap that he could not extricate himself from. , his wrist was obviously very sore, but the content in the bamboo slips attracted him to keep reading, and he even had to keep summarizing the information, reasoning about some logic in the rolls of rosters, and trying to use this information as a reference for the future. The basis for making various decisions about Zhao Di.

The bamboo slips sent by Yang Ming are a real treasure for Qin Wangzheng, but these treasures need to be discovered by Qin Wangzheng himself. The process must be happy, but it is also inevitably mentally destructive.

As more and more information was mastered by Qin Wangzheng, the advice that Yang Ming had given him before continued to echo in Qin Wangzheng's mind. He only felt that with the support of this information, those advices were really a pity. .

"Oops, I've been tricked!"
