"It's really a success!" In the Xianyang Palace, Gu Xiao walked out of the main hall and said with feeling.

He's still the same person, but now his identity is very different.

Today, he is no longer a great general, but a general.

has officially entered the list of senior generals of the Qin State, Gu Xiao can see that among the ministers in the palace, most of them are very envious of themselves.

This did not surprise him, in this Qin State, which attaches great importance to military merits, only military merit is the criterion that can determine a person's future.

In fact, in today's era, the so-called seniority cannot be talked about.

In the Qin State, as long as you are talented, then you can ascend to a high position.

Gu Xiao remembered that later, didn't Lü Buwei suddenly ascend to the position of prime minister and become the prime minister of the Qin State above 10,000 people?

However, no one expressed dissatisfaction with Lü Buwei's sudden ascension to the stage, and even most people took it for granted.

Gu Xiao walked towards the outside of the palace step by step, he was now a general, he just wanted to be quiet alone, even if it was a close friend like Meng Wu and others, he didn't want to pay attention to it for the time being. Fortunately, Meng Wu and the others were familiar with his temper, and although they felt very strange about his behavior, no one came to disturb him.

This kind of system may be the best system, right?

Gu Xiao's mind recalled some situations in the later generations, and secretly said in his heart.

He was very satisfied with this system of emphasizing military merit, and believed that this was really the best way to select talents. He remembered that in the later Song and Ming dynasties, the emphasis was on the use of literature and military power, and the military would be excluded by civilian officials and there was no place for them at all, and there was even a saying that good men were not soldiers, and good iron did not nail.

In the Song and Ming dynasties, maybe a military general of the first rank had to kneel and salute when he saw a civil official of the third or fourth grade, and no one thought that there was anything wrong with this situation.

At the end of the Song and Ming dynasties, the status of military generals was not even as good as that of a civilian official to raise a dog. The status of civil officials was constantly elevated, and a dynasty with a flourishing literary style was produced.

However, in this way, the biggest result is that for external insults, those civil officials who eat and drink spicy food all day long don't care at all, as long as the status of military generals can be suppressed, those civil officials don't care which emperor is in power!

Gu Xiao recalled the shameless faces of those civil officials, and he was disgusted.

He doesn't think that the status of military generals must be higher than that of civilian officials, but he hates the situation that the status of civilian officials is much higher than that of military generals!

In his opinion, if after becoming a military general, he must be angry with those civil officials who can only dance and write, then the direct consequence is that no one can fight anymore!

After all, if you win a war, if you not only don't get a reward, but you are likely to be framed and imprisoned by those shameless civil officials, then who will dare to fight?

Gu Xiao thought so, and continued to walk towards the outside of the palace, at this time, he was not much away from the palace gate, and after a while, he could go out of the palace and go home.

Thinking of his wife and children at home, Gu Xiao couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

No matter when and where, home is always the warmest harbor, isn't it?

It's a pity that at this time, he was stopped.

"General, please stay!" A clever little eunuch stopped in front of him and stopped him.

"Who are you?" Gu Xiao frowned and asked, he didn't think that a little eunuch who didn't have the slightest backing had the courage to dare to block his way, what he wanted to know now was who let this little eunuch block his way.

The little eunuch probed his brain, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he whispered: "General, the prince of politics is invited!" ”

Zheng Gongzi? Zheng'er?

Gu Xiao was shocked.

He hadn't seen Zheng'er for a long time, and he had barely seen Zheng'er since he sent him back to the palace almost two years ago.

After occasionally seeing Zheng'er in Zichu's palace, this little guy also ignored him.

Gu Xiao sometimes wonders, this little guy won't hate himself, right?

That's too bad! You must know that being hated by the future Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, is almost ready for the future.

Thinking so in his heart, Gu Xiao still followed behind the little eunuch and walked towards the depths of the palace together.

The palace of the king of Qin is not big, compared to the Forbidden City in later generations, this palace of the king of Qin can be described as frugal, but Rao is so, Gu Xiao also followed behind this little eunuch, and after going around for almost half an hour, he came to a gorgeous hall.

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter in the hall, and an elderly middle-aged female voice was laughing with a child's voice.

"Zheng'er, do you want this?"

"Grandmother, if Zheng'er wants it, you can give it to Zheng'er!"

Gu Xiao listened attentively to the movement coming from inside, and his heart was shocked.

Although as early as that year, when Zheng'er was sent back to the palace, he knew that with Zheng'er's cleverness, he would not suffer in the palace. But what he didn't expect was that Zheng'er would be able to catch Mrs. Huayang's line!

In the main hall, there were two voices, one big and one small, Gu Xiao heard it very clearly, in addition to Zheng'er's voice, there was also the voice of Mrs. Huayang!

"Qi Yu Niangniang, Gongzi, General Bai Sheng is here." At this moment, the little eunuch should go in first and report.

"Good job, Zhao Gao, you can go down." Zheng'er commanded familiarly.

"Yes, Childe!" The little eunuch named Zhao Gao retreated as he said.

Zhao Gao? Is he Zhao Gao?

Looking at the little eunuch who walked past him, Gu Xiao was shocked.

This eunuch who single-handedly subverted the Great Qin Dynasty is actually such a person?

Fortunately, he had seen enough big people to not call out.

"General, please come in!" Mrs. Huayang commanded in the hall.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Gu Xiao said in his heart, it is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, and he strides into the hall at the moment.

"Weichen meets Mrs. Huayang and meets Son!" Gu Xiao stood in the hall and saluted Mrs. Huayang and Yingzheng in the hall.

"General, don't be polite!" Mrs. Huayang said, and after finishing speaking, she raised her hand and helped Gu Xiao up.

Gu Xiao raised his head and saw Mrs. Huayang and Zheng'er, who had not seen him for two years.

At this moment, Mrs. Huayang, who was born soft and charming, will be over forty years old next year, but looks like she is only about thirty years old, sitting gracefully on the chair in the hall, in her arms, still holding Zheng'er, Zheng'er's face has been unfolded, the whole person is wearing a gorgeous new clothes, his face is ruddy, it seems that his life seems to be very good!

Seeing Zheng'er's appearance, Gu Xiao was relieved at the moment.
