Daily Life In Qin Dynasty Chapter 106

  Chapter 106 Glory

   "Lu Xiang... is gone?"

  Ying Zheng, who had just returned to Xianyang from Bashu, was stunned when he received the news of Lu Buwei's death.

  As for Gai Nie, who was following Ying Zheng, when he heard the news, his eyes rarely fluctuated.

   "Yes, Your Majesty, this is Lu Xiangguo's last letter to you."

  The correspondent of the Lu clan gave Yingzheng a roll of bamboo slips with a look of sadness on his face.

  Ying Zheng took the bamboo slip presented by the guard, opened it and glanced at it, then closed his eyes slightly and fell silent.

   Lu Buwei's death was obviously beyond Ying Zheng's expectations.

   Just as Lu Buwei's feelings for Ying Zheng are complicated, so is Ying Zheng's feelings for Lu Buwei.

  In the struggle for royal power, Ying Zheng undoubtedly harbored hatred for Lu Buwei, and even thought of killing Lu Buwei at one point. However, now that Lu Buwei passed away suddenly, Ying Zheng couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed.

   After a while.

  Ying Zheng ordered in a deep voice: "The widow's order will be passed on, and Lu Xiang will be buried generously with the rites of the princes. In addition, the title of Lu Xiang will be lowered to the third class, and will be inherited by his eldest son."

  As Lu Buwei predicted before his death, he chose to die at this moment. Ying Zheng not only preserved his reputation, but also gave the Lu family generous preferential treatment.

   Wow~~

"What?"

   "Lu Buwei is dead? How is that possible?"

  In Xianyang, in a noble and magnificent mansion, Chang Wenjun heard the news from his brother himself, and immediately overturned the wine glass on the table in shock, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

  Jun Changping, who was opposite him, still looked indifferently, but if you observe carefully, you will find that Jun Changping's face is obviously a little more ugly at this time.

   "The Lu family has issued an obituary, and the news has spread throughout Xianyang."

  Jun Changping's heart is a little heavy, although in the past in the imperial court, the faction of Chu foreign relatives and Lu Buwei's forces were in an opposing position.

  But sometimes, the existence of the enemy is also a talisman for oneself.

  Now that the King of Qin is very powerful in the imperial court of the State of Qin, it is difficult for any party to contend head-on with Yingzheng simply by relying on "the lineage of foreign relatives from Chu" and "the power of Lu Buwei".

  So after Chang Wenjun was grounded before, Changping Jun had the idea of ​​temporarily forming an alliance with Lu Buwei, but he never expected that before he took any action, Lu Buwei...

   "Brother, what should we do next?"

  Jun Chang Wen obviously thought of this too, with a rare flustered expression on his face.

"The king of Qin was already very powerful, and now with the help of that 'refugee', he has obtained such fetishes as "New Grain Seed" and "Quyuanli". Originally, if he formed an alliance with Lu Buwei, he might still be able to resist, but now... ..."

   Among the officials who went to the land of Bashu, there were naturally eyeliners of the relatives of Chu, so Lord Changping and Lord Changwen also got the news immediately about what happened in the land of Bashu.

   And it was only then that the two of them suddenly discovered that the "chess piece" county guard who was sent to Nanjun and was hardly valued by anyone had secretly done so many things with Ying Zheng behind the scenes.

   Now that Yingzheng has the means to double and a half the total grain output of Qin State, in the face of such a general situation, even if the foreign relatives of Chu form an alliance with Lu Buwei, there may still be a glimmer of life.

   But now that Lu Buwei is dead, the forces under his command will naturally fall apart.

Thus.

  The only remaining member of the entire Qin court is the lineage of the foreign relatives of Chu, which will inevitably become Yingzheng's next target.

   "Damn it, it's all the fault of that hateful refugee. If it wasn't for him, how could we have fallen to where we are now."

  When thinking of Jun Mo, Chang Wenjun felt his teeth itch with hatred.

Earlier in Nanjun, Mr. Mo slaughtered twenty-seven old Chu nobles by himself, which not only dealt a heavy blow to all the foreign relatives of Chu in the entire Qin Kingdom, but also made Changping and Changwen lose one of their wallets. Big hole.

   Before Chang Ping Jun and Chang Wen Jun could take revenge, Ying Zheng gave them another knife.

  The murder of "Nanjun officials" in Lord Changping's prison, although no one can find evidence, some things can be guessed without evidence.

   After this incident.

  The prestige of Lord Changping and Lord Changwen in the lineage of relatives outside Chu has been greatly weakened.

  Hearing that Ying Zheng recalled Mo Jun from Nanjun to Xianyang, the two planned to take advantage of their advantages in Xianyang to suppress Mo Jun and improve their reputation among Chu foreign relatives.

   The result was unexpected.

   Before the other party returned to Xianyang, he once again gave the entire Chu foreign relatives a heavy blow from Bashu.

   This knife cut directly on the aorta of Chu foreign relatives, and blood spurted out!

  Hearing Chang Wenjun mention Mo Jun, Chang Ping Jun beside him also felt a little speechless.

  After all, whether it was Zhao Ji's side, Lu Buwei's side, or Chu foreign relatives' lineage, in the layout of the three parties, they just used this 'rarely lucky vagrant boy' as a **** to compete with Ying Zheng.

   And when the game between the four parties was over, Mo Jun was ruthlessly thrown to that remote county in Nanjun.

   If nothing unexpected happens.

   They should never hear the name 'Mo Jun' again in this life.

   But it happened by accident.

  The refugee who was randomly thrown to South County by the three parties not only reappeared in their field of vision, but even became the gravedigger of their three parties.

  He cut off the last chance of life for Lai Ai in Nanjun.

  In Bashu, Lu Buwei was covered with coffin boards.

   Even now, it is very possible that even the graves of their relatives from Chu have already been dug.

   "Mr. Shengping? What a great name!"

   "Welcome Lord Shengping back home!"

  The new Mo Mansion rewarded by Ying Zheng, Mr. Mo had just returned with Hei Yu, and he saw many servants, slaves, and disciples of the Mo Mansion, such as Jian Jiuyuan, waiting here.

  The door was decorated with lights and festoons, and everyone, including servants and slaves, also changed into new clothes, and everyone's faces were filled with joy.

  Seeing Mo Jun's return, they immediately saluted in unison.

   "Let's all be free!"

  Mr. Mo also had a smile on his face. He first asked everyone to excuse him, and then he waved his hand and said directly: "Today is a day of great joy, and everyone has a reward."

  When many servants heard the words, they immediately showed joy, and said loudly: "Thank you, Mr. Shengping, for the reward!"

  Add officials and become nobles.

   Obviously, no matter the era, it is something to celebrate.

   What's more, this time Mo Jun was added to the official position of Jiuqing, and the one who got in was a real monarch.

  What is Jiuqing?

  The positions of civil servants in the state of Qin, there are three officials and nine ministers at the top, with a total of twelve positions.

  If one of the twelve positions is listed, it means that he has entered the ranks of the top nobles in Qin.

  However, even the position of Jiuqing is still not worth mentioning compared with Mo Jun's other award.

  Jun!

  Same as 'hou', both are titles of 'jue'.

  Before Shang Yang's reform, 'Jun' was a higher title than 'Hou'.

  But after Shang Yang's reform, the title of "Junjue" rarely appeared in Qin State.

  Because after the Shang Yang reform implemented the "Military Merit" system, the titles of most people have been turned into a false title invisibly.

   means only enjoying treatment and glory, but not much real power.

  Nowadays, the titles of 'Jun' and 'Hou' can both be called the highest titles, but the title of Marquis has gradually become the highest goal pursued by most people.

  However, the problem is that Mr. Mo is not a "false title", but an extremely rare "real title" monarch.

   It means that Mr. Mo not only owns a fief, but also has certain management rights in the fief.

Of course.

   This kind of management power is obviously not comparable to that in the early Warring States period.

  The initial de facto monarchy is basically equivalent to the feudal lands. The monarch has all the governance powers in his own territory, including: military power, political power, economic power...etc.

  At the moment when the Qin State implements the system of prefectures and counties, the power of various places is completely concentrated in the hands of the king, and it is no longer possible for the land to seal the border.

  So Mr. Mo does not enjoy 'military power' and 'political power' in his fiefdom.

   But other than that.

  The rest include: agriculture, commerce, and even taxes, etc., all of which can be formulated by Mo Jun himself.

   Only Mo Jun's fiefdom needs to be handed over to Qin State with a fixed share of taxes every year, and the rest can be freely controlled by Mo Jun.

   Such rights.

  Now the entire Qin Kingdom, I am afraid that only Mo Jun can enjoy it.

   This is also because Mr. Mo has made great contributions, and Mr. Mo has joined Yingzheng's command very early, so Yingzheng gave him such great trust.

It can be said.

  The current glory is the report of Mo Jun's investment in Yingzheng.

  In addition, the title of 'Shengping Jun' is also unusual.

  Beginning with the word "Holy", such a title has never existed since ancient times. If Yingzheng hadn't read out the edict with the trend of "new grain" at that time, I don't know how many people would have jumped out to oppose it.

   Fengjun worships Qing.

   What a brilliance this is.

  If you were born in a big family, with Mo Jun's current achievements, I am afraid that even the family tree will have to start with another page from him.

   Surrounded by everyone, Mo Jun walked into the lobby.

  The banquet has been set.

  All the diners of the Mo Mansion gathered together.

  Including the three masters and apprentices of the medicine ghost who has always lived in the medicine garden, and Xiong Daxiong Er, who has been doing business all year round, all returned to the mansion today.

   Only Zhanqin, who just served as the sheriff of Nanjun not long ago, really couldn't get away, but he also sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.

   As the saying goes, one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

  With Mo Jun's current achievements, even a servant of the Mo Mansion's status will rise accordingly.

   Not to mention these disciples who have been with Mo Jun from the very beginning.

  The wine has three rounds, and the food has five flavors.

  In the middle of the banquet, a servant suddenly stepped in from the door, holding a roll of bamboo slips in both hands, and said softly: "My lord, someone just delivered a letter from outside the door."

  Mr. Mo put down the chopsticks in his hand, took the bamboo slips, and said in surprise, "The letter? Do you know who sent it?"

  The servant said: "According to what the man said, it was left by Xiang Lu before his death."
