Daily life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 24 Secret Edict Award (ask for a ticket)

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo and Lord Xiong Qi are asking to see you."

The Imperial Physician ordered Xia Wuqie to leave for a short time, when he heard the news of the two people's meeting outside the door.

A stern look flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, and a sneer twitched at the corner of his mouth: "Oh, the two prime ministers of the widow are really well-informed!"

The news in the army was originally top secret, and only King Qin could know it, but now I just got the news from the army, and my two lovers came in the back.

If there is nothing tricky in it, Ying Zheng probably doesn't believe it himself.

"Xuan!"

Following Ying Zheng's order, two men in their 40s, dressed in official uniforms, walked in from outside the hall.

"Chen Lu Buwei pays homage to the king."

"My minister, Xiong Qi, pays homage to the king."

The two bowed down to worship.

A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face, and he said, "Haha~~ Lu Qing, Xiong Qing, the two of you came just in time, and I have something I want to discuss with you."

It would not do him any good if he directly broke his face with the two in front of him, so Ying Zheng simply took the initiative to give them a step up.

Said: "The news came from the frontline Tunliu. General Meng felt a cold and suffered a serious illness last night. He was treated by a Chinese doctor in a timely manner. Now there is no danger of his life. But General Meng has high morals. If he is forced to lead troops to attack Zhao, I can't bear it. So now I want to order the front line to suspend the fighting so that General Meng can take care of his health, what do you two think?"

When Lu Buwei and Xiong Qi heard the words, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes at the same time.

Today's king seems to be a little too sensible.

Lu Buwei took a step forward, saluted and said: "I think what the king said is reasonable. This attack on Zhao has already consumed a lot of resources and energy of our Qin State. Since we have not achieved results now, we should withdraw our troops with money."

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Then follow what Lu Qing said, the widow will send the order..."

Before Yingzheng could finish his sentence, Lu Buwei interrupted again: "In addition, although I can't bear to punish old General Meng, the laws of our Great Qin are strict. This time the Qin army attacked Zhao, Meng Ao spent a lot of money, but did not To be able to achieve the slightest result in battle is a dereliction of duty by the commander. Therefore, I also ask the king to cut off his official position and lower his title in accordance with the law, so as to rectify our Daqin laws."

This statement came out.

Ying Zheng, who still had a smile on his face just now, froze slightly.

Obviously, this is the real purpose of Lu Buwei and Xiong Qi coming here.

Meng Ao, as a force in the army who firmly supports the orthodoxy of the royal family, stands on the same side as Ying Zhengsheng.And Ying Zheng's allies are their opponents.

Although he had already guessed the purpose of the two of them coming here, when all this happened before his eyes, Ying Zheng still couldn't help feeling a sense of aggrieved and angry rising in his heart.

My own throne is really about to be emptied!

Taking a deep breath, Ying Zheng barely calmed down, and said slowly: "Lu Qing...you are right. According to what Lu Qing said, Meng Ao's official position in the court will be cut off, and his title will be demoted to the third class. It is the strictness of my Daqin laws."

Hearing the verdict, Lu Buwei and Xiong Qi bowed down at the same time, and said loudly: "The king is holy."

After getting the desired result, the two quickly left.

But before leaving, Lu Buwei faintly sensed that something was wrong. The result he wanted today seemed to be obtained too easily.

······
Inside the hall.

When the two left, the rich expression on Ying Zheng's face just now disappeared in an instant, replaced by a calm like stagnant water.

In fact, from the moment Lu Buwei and Xiong Qi arrived, Ying Zheng guessed that there was a high probability that he would not be able to keep Meng Ao this time.

So in this matter, Ying Zheng didn't struggle too much, but he deliberately concealed Mo Jun's name in this battle report.

The eyeliners planted by the two in the army can know the news of Meng Ao's serious illness, but it is impossible to know the details of Mo Jun's treatment of Meng Ao this time. After all, the news about Mo Jun's treatment of Meng Ao this time is the only one in the entire army There are three medical masters, Zhang Tang, Meng Ao, and Mo Jun himself know.

And thinking of buying any of these six people, even with the influence of Lu Buwei and Xiong Qi, it would be as difficult as climbing the sky.

Especially the three medical masters who seem to be the easiest to buy, in fact, their tempers are getting weirder and weirder.

And the reason why Ying Zheng hid Mr. Mo was also very simple, it was for his own use.

In fact, Yingzheng doesn't know whether Mo Jun has further possibilities in the future, but given his current situation, he has no more choices. Any talented person is now worthy of being recruited by Yingzheng.

Think for a moment.

Ying Zheng took out a piece of silk cloth and began to write Mr. Mo's award in his own hand.

a day later.

Tun stay.

After receiving the military order to withdraw troops from Xianyang, Zhang Tang arranged for the garrison here, and then began to withdraw the troops.

The withdrawal of troops is undoubtedly good news for most corvee apprentices, because it means that the war is over and they can go home to farm.

Although the treatment of the Daqin corvee is not bad.

But for ordinary people, farming is obviously more attractive.

Because in this era of constant natural disasters and man-made disasters and an imperfect currency system, the sense of security that 'money' brings to everyone is far inferior to the grain in the fields.

Because of the failure of attacking Zhao, none of Meng Ao's troops gained military merit in the battle against Zhao.

However, many people in the army made contributions to countering the rebellion.

"Brother Mo Jun, let's leave now. After I bring my parents and younger brother home, I will come to Xianyang to meet you."

"it is good!"

In Shangdang, Mr. Mo and Xiong parted ways.

After the war is over, Xiong Da wants to go home first to report to his relatives at home that he is safe.

But Mo Jun was alone and had nowhere to go, so Meng Ao invited him to stay at Meng's house temporarily, and Mo Jun agreed.

But the plan never keeps up with the changes.

Not long after Xiong Da left, before Meng Ao and Mo Jun got up and left from Shangdang, they saw a man dressed as a palace guard secretly coming to the camp where Mo Jun lived.

"Where is Mo Jun, step forward to receive the imperial edict."

The sudden royal edict really made Mo Jun stunned for a while, but soon Mo Jun stepped forward and saluted: "Student Mo Jun accepts the edict."

"Edict of the King of Qin, the scholar Mo Jun has meritorious service in donating medicine, and bestows the title of 'Doctor', five residences in Xianyang, five hectares of fields, twenty pieces of silk, and one hundred pieces of gold..."
