Chapter 53: Lü Buwei's Scheme
"Minister, Doctor Mojun, see the king!"
"Excuse me!"
A majestic and magnetic voice came from above the throne, and it was only then that Mo Jun raised his head and saw the whole picture of the Zhangtai Palace.
There are two people on the throne.
One sits on the throne and wears a crown on his head, although his face cannot be seen clearly, but his momentum is firm and majestic.
The other person had a handsome face, but he had a pair of piercing eyes, dressed in white, and held the only weapon in the entire Zhangtai Palace, the long sword, in his hand.
The two are none other than each other.
It is the current King Yingzheng of Qin, and his chief swordsmanship teacher Gai Nie.
On both sides of the throne, there are several civil and military ministers, and on the side of the military general, there is an old acquaintance of Mojun.
And the first place on the side of the civil official is an old man with upside-down eyebrows and a majestic temperament but a bit of a vulture, who is the prime minister of the dynasty, Lu Buwei.
The Qin State did not say anything about the early dynasty, but today it has attracted so many big people just for Mojun's reward, so you can imagine how big Mojun's "face" is.
When Mo Jun got up, Ying Zheng on the throne looked at Mo Jun carefully, and then there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes under the crown.
Then he said: "Declare the edict!" ”
"Yes!"
The guards below received the order, and then held an edict in both hands, bowed down to everyone, and said sharply: "Doctor Mojun stepped forward to receive the edict." ”
Mo Jun hurriedly clasped his hands and saluted: "Minister, Doctor Mo Jun took the edict." ”
"Doctor Mojun is extremely talented, and he created his own 'new knife creation medicine' dedicated to Daqin, and he has survived thousands of Daqin warriors with outstanding meritorious service. Today, the doctor Mo Junjue was promoted to the sixth rank and led the right chief. Give Hanzhong 2,000 hectares of fertile land······"
The reward of this edict is obviously much richer than the reward of the last secret edict.
Overall, though.
During the entire Warring States period, the truly valuable rewards were nothing more than official titles, good land mansions, and livestock and grain······ These kinds, as for the others, are basically just add-ons.
This time, Mo Jun became the right chief, which is the eleventh rank of Great Qin.
Even after the implementation of the 'military merit system' in the Qin State, the difficulty of obtaining the title has decreased, but there are still very few people in the entire Qin State who can have the eleventh rank of knighthood.
It can be said that now Mo Jun has directly become an upper-middle and upper-class nobleman of the Qin State from a homeless person with the credit of 'New Knife Creation Medicine' alone.
However, the reward is not over yet, because after the Shang monarch's reform, most of the simple titles have become a kind of fictitious position in the Qin State, and there is no real power.
If it had been before, Ying Zheng's reward might have come to an end.
But not long ago, Mo Jun specially gave Ying Zheng 25,000 grains as bait, so now, Ying Zheng will never let Mo Jun be a capable and loyal talent and do nothing.
Sure enough.
When the edict was announced, the guards of the edict took out another edict and were about to continue reading it.
But at this moment, I saw a figure walk out of the crowd and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has something important to do." ”
Obviously.
Those who dare to interrupt Yingzheng's edict at such a time, it is estimated that the entire Qin State will not be able to find a few people.
But the person who spoke this time happened to have this qualification, because this person was none other than Lu Buwei, the prime minister of the dynasty.
Seeing Lu Buwei walk out, Ying Zheng's eyes under the crown narrowed slightly, and he said: "What is the important matter of Lu Xiang, can't you wait until the widow's edict is announced?" ”
Lu Buwei clasped his hands and saluted, and said respectfully: "The matter that the minister wants to report is related to the right chief of Mojun. ”
Ying Zheng opened his eyes and said slowly: "Oh? I don't know what Lu Xiang has to say. ”
Lu Buwei glanced at Mo Jun slightly, and said: "The minister thinks that Mo Jun's right man has made such great achievements at a young age, and the future can be described as infinite potential, so the minister thinks that only by promising a heavy reward can I show my demeanor of the Great Qin." ”
"Therefore, the minister thinks that he should give Mojun the right lord of the eldest and youngest lords, and at the same time lead the post of a county guard to be trained, so that he can step into the position of Jiuqing in the future and serve the king."
As soon as Lu Buwei's words fell, he saw Meng Yu Yue who was on the side of the military commander walking out, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Xiang's words are wrong, just because Mojun Zuoshu is still young, so he still needs some more time to precipitate. ”
When Lu Buwei saw Meng Fu walking out, he immediately squinted his eyes and said, "Oh? I don't know how long does General Meng mean to let Mo Jun Zuo settle for a long time? A year? Five years? Or ten years? ”
"The minister thinks that ambition is not young, I Daqin rule the country by law, rewards and punishments, and the system is strict. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have done it, you will be punished, this is the foundation of my Great Qin's strength. ”
"If you want to deliberately suppress the merits of others because of your age, won't it make many meritorious people in Daqin feel cold?"
When Meng Fu heard this, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, but Lu Buwei looked at him fearlessly.
And hearing this at this moment, Mo Jun's psychology was already about to be scolded.
the groove.
This old guy doesn't talk about martial arts.
Where is this asking for credit for him, it is simply killing him!
Although Wang Jian and Mo Jun had just heard that Lu Buwei had taken the initiative to perform the chapter and ask for credit for himself, the two of them had already sensed the aura of conspiracy.
After all, although Mo Jun did not openly refuse the other party's wooing before, his several evasive behaviors basically showed his attitude.
So from the very beginning, Mo Jun and Wang Jian had already guessed that Lu Buwei was asking for credit for himself, and he was definitely not happy.
But I never expected this old guy to be so insidious.
As Lü Buwei himself said before, now that Great Qin is a country governed by law, the law is strict, and all kinds of rewards and punishments have already formed a strict system.
Therefore, even if Lü Buwei is a prime minister, if he openly suppresses a meritorious person, it will actually be quite difficult.
What's more, with Mo Jun's current reputation, it is almost impossible to erase his merits silently.
However, as the so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, it is indeed difficult to suppress Mojun's reputation now, but if Lu Buwei turns around and holds it up, Mojun's fame will become a barrel of oil poured on the fire.
This sudden one-handed kill, although not too technical, is extremely practical.
First of all, Yingzheng's side.
For the hole card of Mojun, Yingzheng has always adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile as much as possible, and can hide it for as long as it can.
During this time, although Mo Jun also made a bit of a limelight, the eyes around him were basically still focused on himself, and did not involve his secret relationship with Ying Zheng.
But now, with Lu Buwei's direct performance and resolute attitude towards Mo Jun, I am afraid that it will not be long before someone thinks of the relationship between Mo Jun and Ying Zheng.
However, this is not the most insidious place, Lu Buwei's real insidious knife is mainly slashed at Mo Jun himself······
