Chapter 187 Fiefdom

Qin Palace.

The sun is shining brightly, illuminating every inch of the earth.

In the palace, hundreds of officials gathered, and a pool of clear water exuded a hint of clarity, dispelling the boredom in the heart.

This is a special day, the Chengyu Rebellion has been quelled, and the customs over Guanzhong are full of blood.

Those who were involved with Chengyu went down to Guishou and up to Jiuqing, exiled those who were exiled, and those who were executed were executed.

The storm had not subsided yet, and the figures in the huge Qin Palace became thinner again.

However, for the rest of the people, looking at the decapitation of their colleagues above the court, what they can think of is to go further.

The void of power needs to be filled, but it begins in the most outlandish way possible.

"Although Lai Ai is an eunuch in the Ai family's palace, it is the first achievement to put down the chaos of Chengxu this time, and it should be rewarded accordingly."

Empress Dowager Zhao, who had not been to Xianyang for a long time, returned from Yongcheng, sat beside King Qin, and spoke slowly.

"What does the Queen Mother mean?"

"You should be a Marquis, and you should be given the land!"

As soon as this word fell, all the courtiers were shocked, not only by the value of this reward, but even more strange by the changes in the current power structure above the court.

Both Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji were not from the Qin Dynasty. After entering the Qin Dynasty, one was the Prime Minister and controlled the government, and the other was the Queen and took charge of the inner palace. The power structure formed could be stable.

But now, he promoted an eunuch and granted him the land. Does this mean that Zhao Ji no longer believes in Lu Buwei and wants to start anew?

In the palace, Lao Ai knelt on the ground and knocked on the ground with her head.When he raised his head, he looked at Lu Buwei, the leader of the officials, and at the young figure in the crowd, his face was full of joy.

"According to the Empress Dowager."

"Then make Lai Ai the Marquis of Changxin, give him the land of Taiyuan, and give him the land of Taiyuan, where he lives in Shanyang."

"I thank the Empress Dowager for your kindness."

Lu Buwei looked at the officials with a gloomy face, many of them were snickering.

A Marquis of Wen Xin, a Marquis of Chang Xin, what the Empress Dowager Zhao wanted to express, couldn't be more obvious.

There must have been a rift between Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei.

"The widow thinks that there is one more person who will be rewarded for the suppression of the chaos."

The king of Qin looked at Zhao Shuang among the officials.

"Mr. Hanyang!"

"Chen is here!"

Zhao Shuang walked out from the ranks of officials, came to Lao Ai's side, and bowed his hands.

"If it weren't for Qing's loyalty, how could he have seen through the treacherous conspiracy, and he should be rewarded."

"The minister dare not accept the reward."

Zhao Shuang lowered his head and spoke humbly.

"I don't have the merits of size, An dare to accept the great kindness of the king. I have a request!"

"Your family, please tell me!"

"Being a traitor, raising troops and plotting rebellion, deserves ten thousand deaths. However, the young people are innocent, and there are some people in the clan who were implicated by him. I ask the king to forgive his crimes."

As soon as Zhao Shuang said this, the Empress Dowager Zhao frowned lightly on the Luan seat and reprimanded her.

"Mr. Hanyang thinks that following Chengyu to seek rebellion is inappropriate to punish him, and he should forgive his crime?"

Zhao Shuang bowed again, cupped his hands and said.

"I think they are indeed innocent. They have no intention of treason, they are just implicated."

Lai Ai fell to her knees on the ground, shocked in her heart, the crime of treason has always been committed, and she was afraid that cutting the weeds would not be enough, how could anyone plead for mercy?

What exactly does Zhao Shuang want to do?

At the moment Zhao Shuang spoke out, among the courtiers, many important officials of the clan stood up.They did not participate in the conspiracy, but they were inextricably related to Cheng Yu.

Their relatives and children are either in the Chengyu army or are closely related to Chengyu.

This storm intensified, and if there was a massacre, these people would be trembling with fear.

So, when Zhao Shuang came out, they followed, hoping that the storm would stop here.

At this moment, an unexpected person came out.

"My minister agrees!"

The leader of the ministers, Lu Buwei, Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, cupped his hands and said.

The moment Lu Buwei spoke, all the courtiers attached to him echoed.

"Xiangbang, why even you?"

Empress Dowager Zhao murmured, but just as she started talking, another voice rang in her ear.

Seeing this, Mr. Changping also stood up.

"My minister agrees!"

Then, all the officials of the Chu family also echoed.

All of a sudden, the huge court hall was filled with darkness.

King Qin's eyes fell from Zhao Shuang to Lao Ai who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Marquis Changxin, what do you think?"

"Slave servant servant thinks what Lord Hanyang said is very true."

On the luan seat, Zhao Ji sat down weakly, feeling flustered.

"Then play according to Lord Hanyang."

"I am waiting to thank the king for your kindness."

After the dynasty was dispersed, all the officials left the palace one after another.

It's just that today, it's different.Above the Great Qin Dynasty Hall, there is already another faction.

As soon as Lao Ai turned to the court, he was surrounded by his cronies.Compared with Lu Buwei, Changping Jun and others, he is much more ostentatious.

"Mr. Hanyang!"

A long distance away, Lao Ai stopped Zhao Shuang.

Zhao Shuang looked back and saw Lao Ai leading someone over, with an indescribable embarrassment all over his body.

On the jade steps, Lao Ai looked down at him from a high position.

"I heard that Lord Hanyang is going to return to the fief?"

"Exactly!"

"This Xianyang is very good, and many dignitaries are too lazy to leave. Why is Mr. Hanyang willing to give up this great prosperity at such a young age, but rushing back to the poor valley like Yongdi?"

When Lao Ai said that, several people behind him snickered.Lao Ai humiliated Zhao Shuang in front of all the courtiers, just to save his face.

Because among the enemies in Lai Ai's heart, Zhao Shuang is the weakest.Moreover, he had to figure out one thing, what was going on with the longevity lock that Wei Zhuang showed him?

"This Marquis is hosting a banquet in the mansion, so Lord Hanyang must respect you."

Zhao Shuang slammed his mouth, feeling a little regretful.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the banquet of Marquis Chang Xin."

Lai Ai's complexion changed, her eyes sharpened, and she spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, today is different from the past!"

The identity has changed, which made Lao Ai's mood very different.He is now a Marquis of Che, at the pinnacle of the Great Qin Army's meritorious rank, and has his own feudal state.

As for Zhao Shuang, he didn't even have a decent official position in the court.

"The present is indeed different from the past. Marquis Chang Xin should cherish it!"

Zhao Shuang smiled lightly, turned around, ignored Lao Ai, walked down the jade steps, and walked away.

Doctor Ling Qi looked at Zhao Shuang's back, a little dissatisfied.

"Master Hou, this Zhao Shuang is too disrespectful to you, do you want me?"

"It's okay."

In Lao Ai's heart, after all, she was a little jealous of the young man in front of her.

On the jade steps, Lord Changping leaned on the railing, watching this scene with disdain.People of Changping Jun's background look down on Lai Ai.

There is a natural gap between nobles and common people.

A person who was born as an eunuch, who suddenly became a Marquis and became a Marquis, dares to show off like this without restraining himself?

Mr. Changping waved his sleeves, turned and left, cursing softly.

"idiot!"
