Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Yang Ming didn't just talk about cultivating immortality, he really wanted to put it into action.

One day in March of the 20th year of Qin Wangzheng's reign, a memorial to resign appeared on Qin Wangzheng's desk. Qin Wangzheng was surprised when he first saw the appearance of this memorial, but the surprise only came after For a moment, it turned into a calm color.

While turning the bamboo slips, Qin Wangzheng looked at Yang Ming's memorials with great interest. Well, the handwriting is quite beautiful. In terms of writing, Yang Ming's skills have always been higher than most people in the court.

If he was not good at writing, I would not let him fail to become the Prime Minister of the Left. After all, he was also someone Lu Buwei valued back then. Qin Wangzheng thought boredly.

It's just that Qin Wangzheng's true thoughts have been completely attracted to the matter of Yang Ming's resignation. Prime Minister Zuo's resignation is a major event that can affect the structure of the court. If this matter is spread, , happened, or even became a reality, what changes would it bring to the Qin court?

These are things that Qin Wangzheng must take into consideration.

If nothing else, Yang Ming has definitely ranked first in military merit in the Qin State over the years. Even General Wang Jian is far behind Yang Ming. With such qualifications, Yang Ming ranks as the Prime Minister of Zuo. It is logical that if the Qin Wangzheng did not intend to prevent one family from becoming dominant in the army, and that Yang Ming and Wang Jian should check and balance each other to balance the power of the army, the position of general should belong to Yang Ming.

Once Yang Ming resigns, what will those close to Yang Ming think? Why, before the six kingdoms are wiped out, the king wants to clean up the heroes? Restlessness in people's hearts is the most troublesome thing.

"Cultivation of immortals? This is the reason?" Qin Wangzheng looked at the two words in the memorial and raised his eyebrows subconsciously. If such a reason were said by others, it would only be an excuse, but when it happened to Yang Ming, it seemed to be a matter of course.

After all, he is also the Grand Master with the strongest personal force in the world! Qin Wangzheng thought and turned his eyes to Gai Nie. There were some things that even he needed to ask.

Regarding how the Grand Master practices, Qin Wangzheng is still very curious, because the two Grand Masters in Xianyang today are a bit strange. The Grand Master Donghuang Taiyi is practicing all the time and rarely I have free time, but where is the other great master Yang Ming? He seems to rarely retreat, but he has the strength of a great master. Which of these two great masters is in the normal state of cultivation? Qin Wangzheng still needs to be clarified, and among the people who can answer his question, Ge Nie is undoubtedly the most suitable one.

"Mr. Gai, how does the Grand Master practice?" King Qin asked Gai Nie.

Qin Wangzheng was very satisfied with Gai Nie. He was capable but indifferent to fame and fortune. His ability and character were both good, which naturally made Qin Wangzheng very relieved.

"Every great master is difficult to figure out. Other great masters and ministers don't know it. But as far as my master Mr. Guigu is concerned, he spends almost half of the year practicing. Of course, this practice is just It's not just practicing in seclusion, it can also be done in life or traveling. Master once said that even teaching us two disciples is a kind of practice in itself." Gai Nie recalled the time he spent with his master.

"Is that so? If so, can I understand that fighting on the battlefield is also a kind of training for Prime Minister Zuo?" Qin Wangzheng asked.

"For military disciples, war is the best training." Gai Nie replied.

"I see, it seems that our Prime Minister Zuo is really going to cultivate immortality." Qin Wangzheng said to himself, and decided to go to Donghuang Taiyi and ask Donghuang Taiyi if it was true that Yang Ming was in that plan. Indispensable.

After finishing the government affairs at hand, Qin Wangzheng came to the residence of the Yin and Yang family again. Now the world is in sight. Among the things he cares about, the proportion of another thing has gradually increased, and his trust in Donghuang Taiyi has also increased. It goes even deeper, and more importantly, the people of the Yin Yang family have never had much influence on the court, and the disciples of the Yin Yang family are not suitable to be officials. They are all weirdos.

"If you want to open this starry sky and get an opportunity to refine the elixir of longevity from the outer world, Prime Minister Zuo's power is indispensable." After Qin Wangzheng explained his intention, Donghuang Taiyi explained.

"So, I should allow Prime Minister Zuo to resign?" King Qin said.

"It should be so. In the heart of the king, there should be several people who can fulfill the position of Prime Minister Zuo. However, the only person who can join forces with me to seek the chance of immortality for the king is Prime Minister Zuo." Donghuang Taiyi said.

If possible, Donghuang Taiyi naturally hopes that Yang Ming can relinquish his official position and devote all his energy to cultivation. After all, Qin Wangzheng longs for immortality, and so does he. Regarding his own affairs, Donghuang How could Taiyi not be interested?

"That's the truth. Therefore, I should approve Prime Minister Zuo's resignation." King Qin said.

Of course, Qin Wangzheng had no hesitation about Yang Ming's resignation, but what kind of treatment should be given to Yang Ming after Yang Ming resigned was a question before Qin Wangzheng. At this time, Donghuang Taiyi After receiving the affirmative answer again, Qin Wangzheng naturally wanted to ensure Yang Ming's status after relinquishing his post as Cheng Xian. After all, did he still want to use Yang Ming's position? After all, Yang Ming's role is irreplaceable in another matter.

Yang Mansion.

"My husband has really submitted a resignation letter?" Yan Lingji looked at Yang Ming with a look of surprise in her eyes. The outside world is so boring. If Yang Ming can really stay at home, it should be the best choice. That's a good thing. Life is short. If you can't see Yang Ming every day, it will be such a boring day.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, ask Li'er. Li'er wrote the memorial with my help. If you can't trust me, how can you still not trust Li'er?" Yang Ming pointed to Gongsun Li, who was sorting out a volume of Qigong exercises next to him. .

"How could I not believe it? How could I not believe it?" Yan Lingji said repeatedly, "Isn't it because I was so excited that I heard it wrong?"

"Are you so happy that I lost my official position?" Yang Ming looked at Yan Lingji with an unkind look. Under the bright red dress with gold patterns, Yan Lingji had an almost perfect figure, but now Yang Ming is already Thinking about how to teach this dumb Yan Lingji a lesson.

"No, no, alas, I'm so sad. Husband, if you lose your official position, you will lose your salary. Prime Minister Zuo. That's a salary of ten thousand dan. Without ten thousand dan, what can a family as big as ours do? Live, ugh." Realizing that Yang Ming's eyes were not kind, Yan Lingji quickly made a look of grief, and even covered her chest with her hands, grabbed a fold from the skirt of her clothes, and instead pulled the clothes in front of her. Full and exposed.

"I won't starve you to death." Yang Ming glared at Yan Lingji and said, wait, and settle the accounts slowly at night.

"Seriously, can this thing be done?" Yan Lingji asked.

"There should be no problem. It is good for everyone that my husband resigns. Xianyang Palace should not refuse. The key to the problem is what happens after my husband resigns." Gongsun Li put away the brush and had already prepared what she needed. .

"It's really complicated. Fortunately, I don't have to think about those things." Yan Lingji said with a panicked look.

"What are you afraid of? Are you itchy again?" Yang Ming threatened.

Yan Lingji seems to be a little too arrogant now. Of course, this is also because Gongsun Li is here. Yan Lingji knows that Yang Ming will not do anything to her in front of Gongsun Li.

"What are you copying, sister?" Yan Lingji ignored Yang Ming and leaned close to Gongsun Li, looking at the silk book filled with small characters on the desk.

"A volume of exercises for Tianming. He now knows a lot of things and can start practicing." Gongsun Li said. Gongsun Li was not proficient in the practice, and although his grandfather was also a great master , but due to sect rules, Gongsun Yu could not hand over his strongest martial arts to his great-grandson. Gongsun Li, who only wanted to leave the best things to his son, could only start with Yang Ming.

Fortunately, Yang Ming has a lot of martial arts in his collection, including many unique skills, such as the Mohist inheritance technique.

During the chat between the three of them, time passed slowly. No one felt that time passed slowly, let alone that time passed too fast. Only the years were quiet and it was another monotonous and beautiful day.

The next day, there was a court meeting.

After Jiuqing finished reporting his official affairs, Qin Wangzheng suddenly mentioned Yang Ming's resignation. For a moment, everyone in the court turned their eyes to Yang Ming: Prime Minister Zuo wants to resign? This is a major event that will affect the structure of the court.

"Prime Minister Zuo has made great achievements for the Qin State for more than ten years. He conquered Dongjun, pacified Zhao, and destroyed the State of Yan. Now he wants to step down from his official position due to some personal affairs. I understand Prime Minister Zuo." Qin Wangzheng's figure was in the main hall. It echoed, and the different thoughts of the officials of Qin were lingering in it.

"So I agree to Prime Minister Zuo's resignation," King Qin said.

But just when everyone thought that Qin Wangzheng had finished speaking, Qin Wangzheng continued: "Prime Minister Zuo has made great contributions to the Qin State. I am not a king whose rewards and punishments are unknown. Therefore, I want to reset the position of Grand Master in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. , will be held by Prime Minister Zuo after he retires, with a salary of 12,000 dan, and he can participate in government affairs." Qin Wangzheng continued.

Taishi? The first of the three princes during the Zhou Dynasty? The State of Qin didn't use it, but now it was because of Yang Ming that the Qin King wanted to use this position again? Moreover, the salary was increased to 12,000 dan. You must know that the prime minister is only 10,000 dan. This treatment seems to be a grant of high status and no power!

But even so, it can be seen that Qin Wangzheng still has faith in Yang Ming, which makes people who are already thinking about it calm down.

"Master, what the hell is this?" Yang Ming, one of the protagonists, thought subconsciously.
