Chapter 26: A Turning Point of Changing Fate
At the end of the Warring States period, although it is said that etiquette has collapsed to a certain extent.
However, the reign etiquette of the princes is indispensable, incomparably complicated and grand.
Qin Shou, on the other hand, followed the Xiang clan as an official in the court and went to participate in the succession ceremony of the "King Chu Ai".
Every king in his reign naturally wants to do something.
After all, the new official has three fires when he takes office, and he doesn't say whether he has done a good job in the end, at least he has to get by with face.
At this time, it is appropriate to use a powerful weapon like a crossbow first.
Qin Shou was very honest along the way, and he didn't say a word.
Because he knew that he was not arrogantly capitalized at this time.
Finally, when all the ceremonies have been carried out, the discussion of "national affairs" has officially begun.
Xiang Yan began to pretend to be forced.
Take out the repeater and talk about it.
And emphasized that it was Qin Shou, a craftsman under him, who made it.
"Okay, good, I didn't expect that my Da Chu actually has such a strange person, Qin Shou, you are so long and made, the widow plans to make you the captain of Tiangong and follow the general, what do you think?"
In later generations, the king of Chu Ai, Xiong Judah, said with joy.
"Captain ........."
Listening to Xiong You's words, Qin Shou thought for a moment and then walked out of the crowd, bent down, and said, "King, the grass people have the heart to serve the Chu State, but this position of captain, please forgive the grass people for not accepting it." ”
Qin Shou directly rejected the reward this time.
"Why is that?"
Seeing that someone had just succeeded to the throne and someone had rejected his reward, Xiong You's face was a little unpleasant.
But considering that so many ministers were watching from the sidelines, and that Qin Shou did have some credit, he still held back and asked such a question.
"Back to the king, the grass people are the children of the Mo family, the ancestor left the ancestral training of love and non-attack, how can the minister go to the army to serve in the army, violating the rules of the ancestor, therefore, the grass people can't accept it!"
Qin Shou thought for a moment and explained.
If he really became a captain general, the position of the Mo family's giant would be completely cold to him.
The Mo family, at least, the six-fingered black man would never let such a person be a giant.
Why? In the original play, the six-fingered black man attached great importance to Yan Dan at the beginning.
As soon as Yan Dan participated in the anti-Qin, he wanted to tie the Mo family to the chariot of a certain country.
The six-fingered black man turned his face on the spot.
Qin Shou didn't have a master like Concubine Yan to help destroy the six-fingered black man, so he could only use the rules of the six-fingered black man.
Because, at this time, the balance in his heart is still biased in favor of the Mo family giant.
In the state of Chu, the military and political power has been firmly grasped by the Qu, Jing, Zhao, and Xiang families.
Qin Shou wanted a piece of the pie, and it was impossible to be on an equal footing with them.
Instead of becoming a small soldier in the hands of several of their families, it is better to fight for the position of the boss of the Mo family.
Of course, now it is still necessary to rely on the help of these people to make it possible for Qin Shou to become the boss of the Mo family.
Therefore, Qin Shou still has to be reluctant.
It won't be long, two months is enough!
"King, the minister still understands the ancestral teachings of the Mo family, it is better to do this, the prime minister lacks a commonplace at this time, it is better to let Gongzi Qin go to the subordinate minister to be qualified for this position."
Xiang Yan has a good relationship with the Mo family, and after listening to Qin Shou's words, he also feels that this is indeed the case.
Since you can't go to the army to be an official, it's okay to be a magistrate, right?
Xiong Yu thought about it, the next minister, isn't it Xiang Yan's hometown, and now it is Xiang Yan's fiefdom.
Going to the next official is nothing more than an errand for Xiang Yan.
Xiong Yu didn't have any opinions, didn't he also say before that he would let Qin Shou follow Xiang Yan.
So, he nodded and said, "Okay, Qin Shou, you won't refuse this time!" ”
If Qin Shou refuses again, he will be angry.
"Minister, take the order!"
After Qin Shou had seen the Nine Songs of Tianxing before, he also learned about his official position.
Han Fei applied to his father for the position of Sikou, which is in charge of the national criminal law, and all illegal and criminal matters can be taken care of.
This is very much in line with the official position required by Han Fei's Legalist theory.
Sikong, on the other hand, is in charge of the construction of water and soil engineering.
Qin Shou is indeed in line with this official position.
Of course, at this time, Qin Shou was just a priest in one place, and he could only be in charge of the water and wood engineering of the lower minister.
But at this time, Qin Shou didn't care about the size of his official position at all, as long as he didn't let Qin Shou lose his interests in the Mo family, he wouldn't refuse.
"Okay, it's decided, do you have anything else to do?"
Jumping over Qin Shou's matter hastily, Xiong Yu put his focus elsewhere.
After listening to those people talk at length again for about ten minutes, Qin Shou left with Xiang Yan.
Leaving the palace.
"General, my subordinates want to ask the general for a three-month vacation, and my subordinates are racking their brains because of the matter of the crossbow, and they want to relax in Shouchun for a while, looking for some new inspiration, and want to serve in the next prime minister after three months!"
After dispersing from the other officials, on the way back to their respective homes, Qin Shou opened his mouth to Xiang Yan and pleaded.
In these three months, he has big things to do!
"Hahaha, little brother Qin, the lower prime minister is my fiefdom, but I still stay in Shouchun most of the time, and the income of the lower prime minister is handed over to me on a regular basis, and you are the same, going to the lower prime minister is just an excuse, in the future, you will stay in Shouchun, and it is enough to develop more magic weapons for this general!"
Xiang Yan laughed.
The lower phase is Xiang Yan's hole card, and Xiang Yan is the "king" of the lower phase.
Qin Shou is his "courtier", and Xiang Yan can naturally make decisions about his stay or not.
Xiang Yan is in Shouchun most of the time, so people like Qin Shou must stay by his side, Xiang Yan can rest assured!
"Subordinates understood!"
Qin Shou also thought about it for a while before he understood this truth.
It's just that it's okay to make it easier for him to do things.
Xiang Yan naturally couldn't bring Qin Shou to his Xiang Mansion.
After all, that's where their Xiang family is.
And many things are not convenient for outsiders to know.
also arranged Qin Shou in another courtyard.
He wasn't afraid of Qin Shou slipping away or something.
The guards of that courtyard, the maids and whatever, were all people he arranged.
Qin Shou's every move, he can control it in his hands!
…………
"What are you laughing at? A place is commonplace, as for it? ”
Seeing that Qin Shou was sharpening his sword, was it a "ghost laugh", and the snow girl was a little confused.
She had heard Qin Shou say that his ambition was definitely not small, and she felt that Qin Shou could be regarded as a careerist.
But now, a mere subordinate Sikou seems to make him complacent.
People who don't know still think that Qin Shou has become the chief secretary of the entire Chu State, in charge of the water and wood construction of the entire Chu State.
"Women's family, what do you know, what kind of subordinate minister. I don't pay attention to it at all, the good thing to say is Xiang Yan's right-hand man, the sword in his hand, to put it mildly, it is one of his dogs, I don't have that kind of potential, I laugh at it, my life, soon, will be controlled by myself! ”
Qin Shou explained.
He knows this history.
This King of Chu Ai only reigned for two months.
Two months later, he was killed by his half-brother's doorman while he was out on a trip.
Then, his younger brother became the king of Chu, that is, the king of Chu who was the last king of Chu in the true sense of the word, was captured by Yingzheng and died in prison.
Two months later, when he killed his brother, it was an opportunity for Qin Shou's fate to change.
