The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

Saying goodbye to the students with complex expressions, Lu An and the Qin Wang couple, who were wearing white dragon fish clothes, picked Meng Tian up and had dinner together, and then returned home in the dark night.

As soon as he got home, he was stuffed into the bathtub by Wei Liao who came up to him.

Since it was a night banquet, it was inevitable to drink alcohol. Although everyone was more restrained and drank low-alcohol water wine, Lu An, who had soaked in hot water, was inevitably a little drunk. He lay on the edge of the pool and watched the busy people walking around. My senior brother suddenly squinted his eyes and smiled, boldly suggested: "Senior brother, let's go down and make some bubbles together?"

Wei Liao put the clothes in the cage and put the lid on the water drain. Hearing this, he paused and looked back at him. He raised his sword eyebrows and didn't say much, he took off his clothes and went into the water.

When he was wearing private clothes, Wei Liao restrained his murderous aura. He looked like a thin scholar with a bookish look, but when he took off his clothes, his strong and beautiful muscle lines and the scars that had turned into white marks on his body showed that he was a general. identity.

Every time Lu An saw these scars, he couldn't help reaching out to touch them.Although Wei Liao is excellent in martial arts, he can't tell what's going on on the battlefield. Swords and guns have no eyes, and he can defend against those who shoot with intention. What he fears most is Liu Ya.

This has nothing to do with martial arts, it's more about luck.

Wei Liao's current status was all obtained by fighting with his life.

His hand went down more and more, brushing scars one after another, and finally was gently pressed by someone, Wei Liao gently pressed his hand, looking at him with a little helplessness in his eyes.

Lu An licked his lips, and suddenly showed a smile, then he walked over and whispered, "Senior Brother, let Junior Brother give you a medicine?"

After a lot of fuss, Lu An stretched out his limbs on the warm kang and lay flat. His body was sore and weak, and he was extremely tired, but his spirit was highly active. This feeling of being tired but unable to sleep was extremely annoying. He rolled on the bed. Get lost, finally wrapped up by Wei Liao who couldn't stand it anymore and stuffed it into his arms, "What's wrong?"

"I heard a piece of music today." Lu An arched his head, pressed his head against his partner's heart, and said, "I can't help but think about some past events."

During the dinner, Meng Tian and Gao Jianli played a song together. As Ying Zheng said, the zither with more strings is more inspiring, and Gao Jianli's playing is even better. A little fluctuating, and drunkenness deepened this.

He rubbed against Wei Liao's arms, "Brother, thank you for your hard work."

The Lu family's house in the city has now become his and Wei Liao's residence. This house is close to Xianyang Palace, and for young people who want to work hard, they can avoid bumpy roads and can sleep more in the morning.

Therefore, after the relationship between the two passed Minglu, Lu Buwei made the decision to give this house to his son. On the one hand, it was a wish from the father, and on the other hand, it also implied that Lu An and Wei Liao would stay away from home for the time being. .

It's not that the father has any negative emotions, it's just that Lu An and Wei Liao came out of the closet... It was a bit too tragic at the time, Madam Lu still feels a little angry when she thinks about it, and Madam Lu is now there. The most delicate age of a woman is her temper. Lu Buwei simply sacrificed his son for the sake of family harmony.

When Wei Liao's family came to confess, Lu An was in Dongjun, and Mrs. Lu was angered by her son's strange tricks one after another.However, at that time, Dongjun County was an enclave of the Qin State, and the geographical environment was extremely dangerous. Lu An might be attacked at any time if he stayed there. I won't mention it any more, just let him come back and talk.

But that winter happened to be a war, and Lu An had to guard the local area and failed to return to Beijing. Naturally, he failed to put out the fire in time, and at the same time, he was unable to detect the turbulence under this undercurrent.Looking at the words and phrases in his mother's letter, Lu An mistakenly thought that his mother's anger had subsided, so he began to carefully speak good things about Wei Liao to his mother.

This made Mrs. Lu very angry!The silly son is not over yet, is he?

For a woman, the more she is persuaded about some things, the angrier she will be. If it should be dealt with coldly, it must be dealt with coldly. Just let her think clearly.

Originally, mother and son were far apart, and it was the time when sympathy was most likely to arise. When Mrs. Lu's anger subsides and Lu An sells out again, this matter might just pass away half-heartedly.

However, Lu An first invited a bunch of foreign aid, and then he had to mention Wei Liao in almost every letter. Every letter had to show how good his relationship with Wei Liao was, and the two had a tacit understanding. It was a match made in heaven. Yunyun, Madam Lu couldn't suppress her anger, so she naturally gave Wei Liao a look at Wei Liao who had returned to Beijing for the New Year.

When Lu An returned to Beijing later, the relationship between Wei Liao and Mrs. Lu had tended to ease, but in fact, before he knew it, Wei Liao had really put a lot of effort into Mrs. Lu.

Compared with Lu An's busyness, Wei Liao was actually not relaxed, and the road in Shu County was far away and the traffic was not smooth, and family letters were easy to lose, so Wei Liao had to send them repeatedly.

Every few days, he brought special products from Shu County, and he wrote letters to care about the health of Lu Buwei and his wife when the seasons changed. He heard that Shu County had any health-preserving methods and sent them there immediately. His cold face was even more sweet, and he persisted for more than a year before she opened Madam Lu's heart, acquiescing that he was half of her own.

And when both Lu An and Wei Liao returned to Beijing, Madam Lu couldn't help being upset when she saw her son's foolish appearance and Wei Liao's face with the word "smart" written on it.After seeing the two living in the same room, Mrs. Lu felt that her son was being eaten to death, and she felt a little bit annoyed, and she regretted that she should have softened her attitude before, but it was not easy to flare up.

So, feeling depressed, Mrs. Lu pointed her gun at the inner house and made a lot of troubles, even Lu Buwei was often affected.

The old mother's complex mood and the old father couldn't understand it at all, but the old wife's temper seemed to be growing, and in the end Lu Buwei couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply asked Lu An and the others to move out and go home every once in a while to have a look.

So Lu An bought the house next door, opened up two houses and re-landscaped, and lived here with Wei Liao and Dodoma.

But in fact, after returning to Beijing, Lu An was so busy that he went home on all fours and went to sleep. Most of the time, Wei Liao helped him take care of the family affairs, and even Wei Liao's appearance rate in Lu's house was higher than him.

For his lover's gratitude, Wei Liao just smiled lightly, he stretched out his hand into Lu An's black hair, and rubbed the young man's scalp for him again and again, the rustling sound of his fingers passing through the hair and the comfort from Wei Liao , making Lu An's eyelids start to tremble involuntarily.

The warm bed under him and the heat from Wei Liao's body made him drowsy even more, and finally, Lu An fell into a deep sleep.

Hearing the breathing of the person in his arms gradually sinking, Wei Liao kissed him softly, and said in a low voice, "It's not hard."

When Lu Buwei lived here in the past, he introduced a small stream into the house. At that time, it was to satisfy his son’s hobby of planting. Now this small stream is diverted by a small windmill for domestic water. use.Because there is no hot spring in this house, the two who are used to bathing have remodeled the bathhouse, using iron pipes to heat water and pour it into the bathhouse, which can also be used to make do with it.

Later, Lu An thought about it, and used the same principle to draw the heat from the stove into the bottom of the bed, and built a kang to come out. In this way, when heating bath water or cooking, the room can also bring a portion of heat. Not to mention how beautiful it is.

Xianyang is a city with hot summers and cold winters. Strictly speaking, it is not a livable city.Lu An's physique is not good, he is afraid of the cold, and his lover is fine. Sometimes when Wei Liao leads the army, he can only hold the thermos pot and shiver under the quilt. The appearance of the heating kang can be said to have saved Lu Xiaoan's life.

After visiting Lu's house for a while, Ying Zheng returned with a concerned look on his face and said that those who were able to sit in Xianyang Palace for a meeting in Qin State were basically tossed about right away. Winter and spring are the saddest times, and as a show of compassion, he plans to renovate Xianyang Palace.

So the Xianyang Palace was decorated with beatings, and Yingzheng asked people to lay a few small flues under the main hall of the Xianyang Palace. Every autumn, they started to burn charcoal, so that the entire main hall of the Xianyang Palace was warm. .

In this way, every time it came to the season when Xianyang Palace began to heat up, the atmosphere of the Great Court Meeting was very warm. Everyone sat on the cushions, their buttocks were warm, and their surroundings were also warm, not to mention how drowsy it was.

And in this harmonious atmosphere, Ying Zheng took some of the power to handle government affairs from Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei is the Prime Minister of the Qin State, and he holds the government affairs of the whole country in his hands. In the past, all the government affairs of the Qin State were sent to Ying Zheng to go through Lu Buwei's hands, and they were basically processed.

This is not because Lu Buwei deliberately took power, but this is Xiangbang's duty.

The king and the government are different. The king is the leader of the country, but the actual power is in the hands of the government.

Representing the government is the Xiangbang of the Qin State. If something goes wrong in the country, Xiangbang needs to take responsibility immediately. It is somewhat similar to the owner of a family business in the later generations vs. the professional manager of the company.

If you encounter a mediocre or old head of the family, the professional manager will naturally have more say, and when the young, intelligent, passionate and ambitious head of the family takes the position, it is natural to take back part of the management power from the manager.

Just when the spies from other countries became excited like sharks smelling blood, Lu Buwei raised his eyelids, and handed over the decision-making power of the current government affairs to the King of Qin, and he was only there to assist, and even used the excuse that he was old and his eyesight was failing , Ask Qin Wangli to assist him with the left and right prime ministers.However, the latter point was rejected by King Qin.

Qin's power has undergone a smooth transition in a way that others can hardly imagine.

But after that, there are actually quite a few people waiting to watch the excitement.

The prefecture and county system used by the Qin State will also bring a huge workload unimaginable to others while centralizing power. It is also the position of Xiangbang. There are much more states, and this workload also makes the number of assistants in the prime minister's mansion extremely large, and how could the unprepared King Qin be able to bear this pressure by himself.

But surprisingly, Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and persisted.

At that time, his own team had not yet been established, and everything could only be done by himself, so he set a rule for himself that he had to read a stone of documents every day.

He already had the foundation before, and there were almost no problems that he could not understand. If he really didn't understand, he asked Lu Buwei for advice.In addition to Xiangbang, Lu Buwei is also his tutor, so I asked my husband what is so shy.

Later, Lu An, who also worked overtime every day, saw how pitiful he was, and then looked at Ying Zheng's height that seemed to have stopped growing due to lack of sleep. Lu Xiaoan, who was clearly the elder brother but was more worried about the child's height than his own mother, suggested that he change the carrier of the official document by Bamboo slips were replaced by paper.

The carrying capacity of paper is far stronger than bamboo slips. Although official documents may not be reduced, at least they don't have to be so tiring to hold.

He also changed the form of the paper by hand, and sent a sample of the playing book. This new playing book uses cheap and easy-to-obtain bamboo paper as the raw material, and then folds it. When writing, it can be unfolded into a large sheet of paper, but It is as big as a palm when transporting and reading.

This form of document, which is easy to produce and convenient to transport, was immediately accepted and promoted by Yingzheng. However, after comparing the amount of recordable text, Yingzheng still stipulated that he must read [-] catties of documents every day.

Although Lu An was worried about his younger brother's health, after observing for a while, he found that his younger brother was alive and kicking, and he still had time to listen to music and marry a wife, so he let him go.

Until now, King Qin has gradually formed a team of his own, and Lu An and Wei Liao are also members of this team.In another two or three years, at most three or four years, the middle-class power in Qin's court will be gradually replaced by them, the cronies of the King of Qin.

Thinking about it, I know that there will inevitably be a collision between the old and the new, but before that, Qin's biggest problem is the mutual exclusion between foreign forces and local forces, but Ying Zheng has already started to deal with this.

The young King of Qin intends to separate the Ying family from the Qin regime. What he wants to establish is a Qin court that gathers "family of a hundred families".

He wants to truly create an era of meritocracy, and he wants to completely abolish all the benefits that blood relationship can bring.

But he is also very clear that if he really wants to get to this point, the blood family of the winner will probably stand on the opposite side of him, and all his blood relatives may be his enemies by then.

But he plans to give it a try.

What he wants to do is an unprecedented move since the beginning of the world, and what he wants to create is an unprecedented era, an era that everyone looked up to before.

Yingzheng actually didn't know if this road would be successful, but he firmly believed that the road was blazed by human beings, but it was just a road of overcoming thorns and thorns.

And he also believes that there will be many people around him who are willing to walk this road with him.

If the younger brother wants to make trouble, what can the elder brother do? Naturally, he can only accompany him, not to mention that Lu An instinctively feels that Ying Zheng is going in the right direction.

At yesterday's banquet, he could clearly see Gao Jianli, who had been smiling gently, suddenly froze when Ying Zheng told his dream, and the raging fire that ignited in his eyes instantly afterwards .

That is longing, but also hope.

There are not many talented people in the world, and I don't know how many are bound by the words "blood relationship" and "identity". Those who can escape are as rare as feathers, and most of them are dragged into the quagmire.

Lu An, who woke up early in the morning and was still lying on the bed, suddenly had a thought. He suddenly felt that there was something he could do. They could definitely take the talents that the Six Nations didn't want.

After a peaceful night's sleep, in the early morning of the next day, Lu An laid out paper and rubbed ink, and a memorial was completed in one go. This idea can be matched with Qin Wangzheng.

Half a month later, the King of Qin recruited talents from all over the world with the "Recruitment Order".There is no limit to nationality, no blood relationship, and those who feel virtuous, filial and honest can enter Xianyang.Many responders.

Since then, Qin State has further refined the reform of the tax law, and introduced the theory of Qin State nationality for the first time.

People who were born in Qin State and have local household registration are automatically naturalized in Qin State.Anyone who is a Qin nationality has preferential treatment in terms of tax rate and treatment. Of course, since he enjoys this preferential treatment, he also has his own obligations, which can be summed up in only four words - defending the family and defending the country.

When subdivided, it includes abiding by the laws of the Qin State, maintaining the security of the Qin State, and performing military and civilian service in accordance with the law, etc., which is not much different from today's life.But one of them is the most important - Qin does not accept dual nationality, that is, once one becomes a Qin nationality, one must give up all political rights in other countries, and even if Qin breaks the law and flees to another country, Qin will also pursue right to the end.

Naturally, this point is mainly aimed at the large number of guest officials in the Qin State. If they join the Qin State’s nationality, they will no longer be wage earners from other countries, but completely Qin State people. This is Qin State’s acceptance of them. will no longer be a guest.

At the same time as acceptance, it also means that they no longer have a way out after they become Qin people. They must be responsible for every decision they make to the end. It will follow them to join the nationality of the Qin State, and they will need to perform military service in the Qin State from then on. Many people find it difficult to make choices during this period.

Of course, they can also choose another way, that is, stay in Qin as in the past without obtaining Qin nationality, but they also know that those who have obtained Qin nationality must have more benefits and room for advancement than those who have not.

And they are keenly aware that this system will inevitably bring about a series of changes, and the uneasiness brought about by the unknown makes it difficult for them to make up their minds.

And on the first day when the new system was implemented, Lu Buwei's family got off the carriage together, led by Mrs. Lu, and walked to the registration office set up for people not born in Qin to apply for the nationality of the family. formalities.

The family walked frankly, and brought the asset certificates required for nationality registration and the identity certificates in Qin State.When the family came out, they saw their old friends, the Meng family, and then the Wei family, the Li family, and all the important people who are hard to see in ordinary people have registered their nationalities here!

We are all colleagues and guests, and we get along quite friendly with each other on weekdays. Normally we would exchange a few words when meeting each other, but when we meet here, everyone has a very tacit understanding and doesn't say much, just look at each other Wait quietly after gesturing to each other.

The crowd of onlookers whispered from the beginning, and gradually became silent when they watched the carriages and big figures appear. Many people from the six countries who gathered in Xianyang City because of King Qin's order to recruit talents were naturally also in the queue of onlookers. Unknowingly driven by this atmosphere, he also became solemn.

As the first person to come out of the registration office, Mrs. Lu was in high spirits. He was holding a brand new household registration book, and when he saw the complex expressions of all the people, he smiled freely. La!"

For a while, many Qin people who watched had sore eyes because of this sentence. They finally, finally stopped being the country that was looked down upon by the Central Plains people. Look, some people will be infinitely happy because they became their nationality.

A middle-aged man clapped his hands, and his voice was like a bell: "Old man, welcome to naturalization!"
