"Your Majesty, there is news from the Chu State, and the King of Chu is very angry. The king of Chu also said..."

Changping Jun, as the son of the current King of Chu and the son of the Chu State, although he is in the Qin realm, he has always been in contact with the Chu State.

A man dressed as an old servant stood beside him, his head bowed.

Changping-kun had a headache, although he had mediated inside. However, Changping Jun never expected that things would develop like this?

"What did he say?"

"The king of Chu said that although the king has the blood of the Chu people, it is the heart of the Qin people."

"Humph!"

Changpingjun snorted angrily, wanting to say something. It's just that in front of this old servant, even his closest confidant, he still endures the anger in his heart.

"The king of Chu listened to the woman's words to such an extent."

Changping Jun will be full of grievances and turn them into a lament. The son doesn't say anything about the father, even if the relationship between the two is indifferent, Changping Jun can only sigh helplessly.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the farmer, and the Mo family has a big move."

The power of the peasant family is rooted in the land of Wei and Chu, whether it is the rivers and lakes or the government and the opposition, they have dabbled in it, and they have a wide range of ears and eyes.

"The Mo family?"

"Recently, the Mo family giant suddenly announced a new great commander, who is above all the commanders and controls all the ink heroes in the land of Qin and Chu."

Confucianism and Mo are the world's leading scholars, while the nine streams of agriculture and commerce, the intersection between the Mo family and the peasant family is not very much.

"Who is this Grand Commander?"

"No one has seen the true face of this great commander, and they don't know whether it is a man or a woman, only that this great commander of the Mo family wears a mask made of dragon silk in his daily actions, nicknamed 'Jade Face Flying Dragon'."

Changping Jun pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about what impact this matter would have on the rivers and lakes. After a long time, asked.

"What did the farmer say?"

"The farmer said that this Mo family commander was very strange and couldn't figure out his true purpose. As soon as he took office, he began to kick out the children of the officials and nobles who originally belonged to the Mo family from the Mo family, reducing the scale of the Mo family's disciples. In just a few months, the Mo family's power in Qin and Chu shrank dramatically. ”

"Interesting!"

Changping Jun sighed slightly and said slowly.

"Tell the farmer that the selection of the next hero is only in the past few years, let them be ready, and don't conflict with the Mo family for the time being."

"No!"

At this moment, the voice of a domestic servant came from outside the house.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Huayang has issued an order to summon you to go."

Right now?

Changpingjun looked out the window, the night was in the middle of the night, and there was still an hour before dawn. So early, the ban has not been opened in the palace, why are you in such a hurry to find him?

"Got it, you tell the person who came, I'll wash up, change my clothes and go to Huayang Palace."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Huayang asked you to go to the Liuying Palace."

Liuying Palace?

It wasn't King Qin Zhaoxiang's residence, why did the Empress Dowager Huayang let him go there?

Changping Jun pondered for a while, and quickly understood that maybe the Empress Dowager Huayang was not just here to see him, there were other people present.

After Changpingjun took the carriage sent by the palace and drove for an hour, he walked for another half an hour and finally came to the Liuying Palace.

Changpingjun hurriedly passed through the palace ban, and when he came to the palace, he saw the Empress Dowager Huayang standing in front of the palace, as if waiting for someone.

And that person, obviously it can't be him.

Changping Jun came to the Empress Dowager Huayang and saluted, and without saying anything, he stood behind her.

From the sun rising, the cold dew dissipated, to the bright sky, the light was shining, in this small half an hour, Changpingjun has been standing behind the Empress Dowager Huayang, not daring to say a word.

Changping Jun wondered in his heart, who is worth waiting for the Empress Dowager Huayang for so long, and who dares to make the Empress Dowager Huayang wait for so long?

Until, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into Miyagi.

Even Changping Jun had to get off in front of the palace gate, but this carriage didn't seem to have any scruples.

An old man on crutches staggered down from the carriage. He was followed by a young man.

In a short distance, ordinary people only walked for a few minutes, but it took the old man a quarter of an hour to walk up to the jade platform.

Chang Pingjun glanced at the Empress Dowager Huayang and found that the other party's face was not only impatient, but also a little smiling.

When the old man was about to climb in front of him, the Empress Dowager Huayang descended to greet him and held him on the shoulder.

"You old guy, I've been idle for so long, and I finally remembered that this Xianyang is walking around."

"I'm old, the road is unstable, and it's really a sin for you to let the Empress Dowager Huayang wait so long."

Empress Dowager Huayang smiled and welcomed the two into the palace.

Chang Pingjun glanced at the young man beside the old man and felt a little strange. It was the first time to come to the majestic place of this palace, but instead of showing a trace of restraint, this young man in the mountains and wilderness seemed very calm.

The old man was old and sat in the guest seat, while Changping Jun sat opposite him. The young man stood behind the old man.

The Empress Dowager Huayang sat on the throne and glanced at the extremely decrepit man, with a smile on her face.

"Who is this teenager?"

"This is the son of my clan, Zhao Shuang!"

Zhao Shuang?

When this name appeared, Changping Jun's heart was shocked, but the young man in front of him, with a thin figure, a handsome face, and a masculinity revealed from his body, which was completely different from the extremely jealous figure in his impression, and the heart that was shaking regained its calm.

"Cool, Mingya! The mourning family remembers that this name was given by the previous king! ”

"The Queen Mother has a heart."

Zhao Laosi raised his hand, his movements were a little unsmooth, like an old man who was old and frail.

"Shuang'er, I've seen the Empress Dowager Huayang."

Changping Jun saw the young man come out and saluted. He was dressed ordinarily, but there was nothing wrong with his manners.

In Changpingjun's opinion, it is obvious that he has worked hard.

"The old man is so old that he is about to die, and he has to find some food and clothing for his children and grandchildren. No, I'm here to disturb the Queen Mother. ”

Tuomen Road, please relation, Changping Jun has seen a lot of such things.

He is a little strange, this kind of thing is also worth the Empress Dowager Huayang to let him come on a special trip?

The Qin State changed the law from the Shang Dynasty and established a system of 20-class military meritorious titles. Except for the most core members of the clan, the only way for others to get a knighthood is to take the road of military merit.

Of course, this is not absolute.

In addition to the military merit system of the Qin State, there was also the feudal monarch system as a supplement.

Changpingjun himself is a good example. In addition, the two sons of the Empress Dowager Xuan, two of the four nobles in the past, Jingyang Jun and Gao Lingjun, were also crowned kings without much military merit.

or the husband of the Empress Dowager Huayang, King Qin Xiaowen, when he was the crown prince, he was titled An Guojun.

and the younger brother of the current King of Qin, Chang'an Jun Chengcheng, is the same.

The power of the feudal lords of the Qin State was not as great as that of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, and it was not counted in the system of twentieth-rank military merit titles, but it was only a privilege that only a very small number of clans could enjoy.

A large number of other people don't have this privilege, and they can't go to the battlefield to fight, so they can only ask for a position with a cheeky face.

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren."

Changping Jun thought that the Empress Dowager Huayang would be in the way of face, so she casually offered a position, which was dismissed. Who knows, the Empress Dowager Huayang's next words surprised Changpingjun.

"Let's make up for a Zhonglang first, wait for two years, go to the battlefield to accumulate some military merits, and then ask the king to give me a knighthood."

Zhonglang is a close attendant of the King of Qin, and his position is not high, but he is extremely important. But then, the words of the Empress Dowager Huayang made Changping Jun feel like a pins and needles.

"Let's go to Chang'an Palace first!"
