After a while, the three of them rushed to Ganlong Mansion, and coincidentally, Changshi Gongsun Jia and Zhongda Doctor Du Zhi were also discussing in Ganlong Mansion. The West Arc will explain that Gan Long has been silent for a long time, but he has not spoken.

Gongsun Jia smiled faintly: "The monarch's order to seek merit has been stated, that is, to restore Mu Gong's hegemony, where can it change?" The three of them don't need to worry too much. ”

Gan Long said: "This matter, the old Qin people know about it, don't worry, let's see." ”

Du Zhi said in a rough voice: "What kind of climate can a concubine of Wei become into it?" When the monarch saw him, he just relaxed and relieved his boredom, and he really made a big move? But I didn't believe it. ”

Xi Arc smiled contemptuously, then signaled to Meng Kun Baijin, and the three of them said goodbye, gathered in Meng's mansion and drank and discussed until the two watches dispersed.

All kinds of discussions and dynamics in Liyang City, Jing Jian reported them to Qin Xiaogong in a timely manner.

Ever since Wei Ying and Qin Xiaogong had been talking day and night, Jing Jian was so happy that his heart was getting drunk.

The grievances, embarrassment, and resentment he had because of Wei Ying have long since disappeared.

His only concern was whether this slander from the clans would suffocate the infant plan to change the law?

Jing Jian was the only commoner among the current important ministers of the Qin State, and to be precise, he was a descendant of the Shi clan who fell prematurely to the Shi clan.

He instinctively keeps a certain distance from the clans, but he is unusually sensitive to their dynamics.

When he reported these loud discussions and dynamics to the monarch, Qin Xiaogong smiled and waved his hand, "Let them say go, it's okay to blow the wind." ”

Qin Xiaogong knew it in his heart, and after talking with Wei Ying for three days and nights, his confidence increased greatly, and the tragedy of preparing for his own penance and self-cultivation turned into a high-spirited feeling of fierce change.

However, the calm character tempered for a long time made him think very calmly for a few days.

He didn't want to rush into action without full preparation, he thought of a careful guidance strategy, and was determined not to let Wei Ying show his edge in the early guidance too early and make enemies against the old ministers. When the clan was running around and discussing, he began to guide without a trace.

Xiao Gong specially discussed with Qin Feng for a long time, and under Qin Feng's suggestion, he performed his first move, worshiped Wei Ying as a guest, and gave two mansions in the courtyard.

As soon as this order was issued, the Liyang clan and the courtiers were surprised, and the scholars of the Zhaoxian Pavilion were nervous.

The courtiers originally thought that Wei Ying was about to become a red and purple minister, and he immediately took action against them with great force, just like Shin Bu in Korea.

Who expected that the monarch gave Wei Ying a guest secretary?

The guest secretary is not a big or small position, and he can't interfere with any official office, he can only talk to the monarch.

The courtiers of the clan suddenly let out a long breath and relaxed, feeling that this Wei Ying did not pose any threat to them.

When Du Zhi and Meng Kun met Qin Xiaogong, they also complained that the monarch's official position of Wei Ying was too small and too weak, which was not conducive to recruiting talents, and asked the monarch to promote Wei Ying by another level

。 Qin Xiaogong smiled faintly and said, "Zhu Qing is wise, I already know. But let's talk about it. ”

Out of the national mansion, several people laughed relatively happily. What about the scholars of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, when they saw that Wei Ying was so impressive, they worshipped a guest, how could they expect to be an official in the Qin State? Naturally, they were sad, gathered to discuss, and thought about returning to their hometown.

However, at this time, the monarch issued an edict, and all the scholars retained in the Zhaoxian Pavilion were sent to the county order, the county guard, and the official office of the state government.

The highest position was Wang Shi, who made the Liyang Order.

The original Liyang Lingzian returned to the army as a general.

As soon as this order was made, the government and the opposition were in an uproar again. The Zhaoxian Pavilion celebrated excitedly, but the courtiers of the clan became at a loss again.

In the early Warring States period, prefectures were one level higher than prefectures, and they were the highest local government directly under the national government.

Before the reform, the Qin State, except for the counties in the Rongdi area of Longxi and the desolate areas in the north, the hinterland was governed by counties, and there were no counties.

Therefore, the county commander and the county guard were very important local officials at that time, and they were all grasped by the military and government.

As for the Liyang Order, it was even more of a capital chief, which was extraordinary.

Most of these important positions were assigned to these foreign scholars, and the patriarchs of the clan were uncomfortable.

Uncomfortable is uncomfortable, but you can't speak in your mouth. The monarch spent a lot of effort to recruit talents, and did not reuse the aggressive martingale, can he still use other wise men?

Another important point that made the patriarchs of the world calm down, that is, the monarch only conferred officials on the scholars of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, but did not confer knighthoods.

In an old country, the actual meaning of having an official without a lord is a temporary appointment, and it has not yet entered the real upper class, and once it is deposed, it is a commoner.

Just like Qin Feng back then, a newcomer was able to worship Shangqing without arousing the hostility of the clan to him, just because Qin Feng did not have a title. Of course, for Qin Feng, the title is not important.

Three days after the edict was issued, Qin Xiaogong held a banquet for the new officials at the Zhaoxian Pavilion. Qin Xiaogong solemnly told the new official to take office, don't be in a hurry to do things, Xu Jing is not allowed to move within half a year, only be familiar with the government affairs and supervise and persuade farming, and is not allowed to carry out the new policy without permission.

This peculiar order caused the scholars to be at a loss - the powerful Qin State is not allowed to innovate or do things, but what is the use of the Magi? Thinking about the heavy duty at the beginning, it was prudent to be cautious, and no one objected, and when the camp was over, the scholars went to their posts.

When this letter came out, the courtiers of the clan were greatly relieved, believing that the monarch's recruitment of talents was just to seek treatment, not to use the ancestral system.

Just when the courtiers and clans were suspicious and had nothing to say, Qin Xiaogong still met and talked with Keqing Wei Ying every day, but there was no unexpected big move.

A month passed, the cold winter came, and there was no war, and it entered the "nest winter" period that the old Qin people said, and no one cared about this matter anymore.

On a snowy day, Qin Xiaogong summoned Qin Feng and Jing Supervisor. came to the mansion of Zuo Shu Chang Yingqian and talked secretly for a whole day.

Qin Feng couldn't even sleep that night, because the big event he had been looking forward to for a long time was finally about to kick off.

The next day, Xiaogong held a court meeting and canonized the doctor Gan Long as the Taishi, assisting the monarch to undertake the important task of assisting yin and yang, dissolving heaven and earth, and gathering the hearts of the people; Changshi Gongsun Jia was promoted to the crown prince, and the left concubine Chang Yingqian also added the prince Fu to jointly teach the prince's civil and military knowledge; Du Zhi, a doctor in the middle, was promoted to Taimiaocheng, and he was in charge of the sacrificial ceremony, and his position was the same as that of the doctor.

The "trivial political affairs" under the original jurisdiction of the three of them were handed over to Zuo Shu Chang Yingqian and Neishi Jingjian and Shangqing Qin Feng respectively, and the national affairs plan was taken over by Zuo Shuchang. As soon as the four edicts were promulgated, you looked at me and I looked at you in the political hall, but I didn't know why.

Speaking of which, the Qin State has never had the noble and honorable position of Taishi, it is only the chief minister of the "head of a hundred officials, assistant yin and yang" set up by the royal families of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and whether he has real power or not depends on the time and person.

The old Qin State has always thought that it is an absurd high position that is boundless, and it has never been set. Now the monarch actually brought out a "Taishi" to the old ministers, which is really inexplicable!

Think about it, but you can't criticize the king.

Gan Long was originally a Confucian in the East, and it was usually appropriate for him to go to "associate yin and yang to dissolve the world and gather the hearts of the people", and it was also appropriate for him to go to "associate yin and yang to dissolve the world and gather the hearts of the people", and besides, he was greatly promoted to two levels of knighthood, much more noble than the doctor, how to question Yu Guojun?

The crown prince of Gongsun Jia in the long history is more important, it has always been contested by the minister of learning, and Gongsun Jia was originally a minister, what can he say?

As for Du Zhi, he was suddenly promoted from the middle doctor to the first level of the upper doctor, which is also an extraordinary promotion, isn't it?

After a period of confusion, the ministers finally congratulated Gan Long, Gongsun Jia, and Du Zhi together. Although the three of them were smiling, they looked quite embarrassed.

Qin Feng understood in his heart that this seemed to be a promotion, but in fact, it had hollowed out all their powers, giving Wei Ying, Qin Feng, Jing Jian and a group of upstart ministers who changed the law to show their space.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Meng Xibai and the three of them discussed in the Meng Mansion for a long time.

Xi Arc said that he always felt that these things came strangely, and decided that the monarch would still move, and maybe he would remove several of them from their official positions.

said that Meng Kun and Bai Jin were uneasy. Who knew that a few days later, Qin Xiaogong convened the generals in the army to discuss the matter, and announced that none of the generals of the Qin army would move, and each of them would be promoted to the first rank. They were relieved, and Liyang was quiet again.

Qin Xiaogong did not stop his actions.

Three days later, he had a secret discussion with Jing Jian, Che Ying, and Qin Feng for half a day. The next day, an edict was issued, and the left moved Jingjian to the long history; Left moved Che Ying as the general of Liyang, and Qin Feng's official position remained unchanged. The internal history has been relegated to a long history, and it has been lowered by one level. Wei Wei moved General Liyang and was demoted by two levels. The upstart was demoted, and the elders of the clan were happy, but once again they felt inexplicable. Although these two people were demoted, their positions after moving to the left were extremely important. Is it light falling and darkness rising?

Not right either. The original positions of these two upstarts were also rushing to high positions, one was in charge of the affairs of the government, and the other was the general leader of the government and the army, which was by no means a false position, and it seemed that it was not a clear deprecation or a secret promotion.

However, the two of them are not at fault, but why are they demoted? For a while, the courtiers made the clouds and mountains foggy, speculated but were indifferent, and gradually calmed down again.

Moreover, Qin Feng, an upstart, is a celebrity in the monarch, and Qin Xiaogong always consults with him whenever there is a major event, but he still doesn't give him a big job. This also blinded the world.

During this period of time, the small courtyard of Wei Ying's was closed by heavy snow and was extremely deserted. Qin Xiaogong has never come, and neither has Jing Jian.

But what is strange is that there are always three or five armor soldiers passing by around the courtyard of Keqing, and there are casual samurai nailed there motionless in the corner hidden places.

The people of Liyang quietly discussed, the officials in that courtyard must be under house arrest, otherwise how could there be such a strict vigilance?

All this, Wei Ying, who stays at home, naturally doesn't know. Grocery shopping, cooking, and chores were taken care of by two servants sent by the government, who were immersed in the study all day long, either reading or planning, as if in the mountains.

In the afternoon of this day, it was still snowing heavily, but someone knocked on the door.
