Chapter 90: Giving Officials, Entering the Knighthood! (2-in-1)

Although he drank a little wine, fortunately, the old horse knew the way, and Zhao Si was not particularly drunk, so he was safe all the way to the palace.

At this time, the sky is already dark, but it is clear that today's matter is not over, and we will continue to discuss the work.

The first emperor entered the inner palace to change clothes and rest under Zhao Gao's service, and the ministers were left in the main hall, but some palace people sent a few futons for rest.

All afternoon, it is inevitable that the emotions will be too agitated.

The new grain is produced, the excitement of the civil and military officials is silent, when the banquet is drunk, it is inevitable that there is some indulgence, all the way to follow the first emperor back to the palace, walking on foot, overworked, there are already people drinking at the moment, in order to avoid making jokes, the first emperor deliberately left more than an hour of rest time for the ministers.

At the very least, you should cheer up, so as not to make any mess in the closing process of the following discussion because of drunkenness.

At the moment, some people were in a state of agitation during the feast, and they couldn't restrain themselves from drinking a lot of wine, and they relaxed at the moment and immediately leaned on a few groggy sleeps.

Some people are still in high spirits, turning sideways and passionately communicating with colleagues around them to imagine the future.

Uncle Sun Tong knelt quietly in place, with a correct posture, and did not use such slightly indecent auxiliary props, Uncle Sun Tong bowed heavily, even at this moment, he also cheered up to maintain his demeanor, and communicated with colleagues beside him in a gentle voice, never disturbing others.

And Li Si relied on a few to maintain a good demeanor at the same time, although this kind of prop is a little indecent, but since the first emperor sent the palace people to send it, Li Si will not let it go.

As for Wang Qian, he was already sleeping groggily in a wheelchair at the moment, and there were two palace people on the side serving alone, and three new grains were produced.

Zhao Si maintained a kneeling posture with the flow and leaned on a few sides, and Zhao Si drove back from the left and right, but he was not too tired.

In the whole hall, some people fell asleep, some whispered, some talked, some staggered, and some had good manners.

"Doctor Zhao, please come out of the hall and wait!" Zhao Si was looking at the gaffe appearance of the big guy in the hall who could be counted in the world, and the voice of the palace man suddenly sounded in his ears.

When Zhao Si heard this, he hurriedly followed the palace people out of the palace and waited.

The next discussion can be said to be Zhao Si's one-man show.

When praying for the ancestors of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, Zhao Si was not on the list, but Zhao Si was definitely indispensable in terms of merit, and no one could share this credit except Zhao Si and his crew.

Follow the palace people to the side hall, there are a few desk cushions and leg stools prepared for Zhao Si alone, and there are butterberry melon and fruit snacks on the table, but there is no wine.

"Doctor Zhao, please come in and take a shower and change clothes!" Before Zhao Si could sit down, he was introduced into the palace again.

"No!" Zhao Si nodded.

I saw that in the inner room, the hot water in the wooden barrel had been prepared, and there were already new clothes and a crown prepared on the side.

Zhao Si is the next key gentleman, and strictly speaking, this is also the first time that Zhao Si has appeared in the court, so he naturally has to freshen up and dress up.

Zhao Si was waiting for the palace people to go out, undressing and bathing by himself, but unexpectedly, a pair of hands had climbed on his waist, and he was about to untie his clothes, Zhao Si was frightened......

This palace is ...... Is it a man who doesn't know, but it's certainly not a woman......

Zhao Si hurriedly took a step forward and waved his hand and said: "I do it myself......"

Hearing this, the palace people hurriedly took two steps back and bowed down to confess, Zhao Si didn't have the intention of blaming, just waved his hand and signaled the other party to go out quickly, and when the other party left, Zhao Si breathed a sigh of relief and took himself into the bath.

And the other side......

In the inner hall of the palace, the First Emperor was already lying quietly on the rocking chair for a while.

The first emperor is nearly fifty years old, and most of the time he has been in the dark, although he is in a high mood, his physical hardware conditions cannot keep up, the ministers are tired, and the first emperor is also tired.

Fortunately, in the inner palace, you don't have to care about your demeanor, and you don't have to kneel and sit in front of the desk like the ministers are bitter and lean on a few days to rest.

The First Emperor leaned back on the chaise longue and staggered, rubbing his fingers up and down on the armrests.

Despite repeated forecasts, the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes and corn exceeded expectations.

At present, Zhao Si's title and official position have been decided, and the rest of the rewards have also been decided, which is Meng Yi in charge, and the first emperor finally made the decision.

Speaking of which, it's a bit of a downward pressure after all.

Zhao Si's current situation is very embarrassing, the credit is too great, the foundation is too shallow, but his own knowledge is not enough, he has no military merits, and he has no experience in politics.

To put it mildly, Zhao Si's credit contains too many unexpected elements, and it is a different way.

Qin talks about military exploits and practical government, and most of the credit for this unexpected joy is icing on the cake, and the current Zhao Si has a sense of putting the cart before the horse.

Zhao Si's merits should be viewed separately, and the great credit that he can be accepted by the court by default is to live up to the king's order and return to Qin, followed by finding three new grains to bring back to Xiangrui.

At the moment, the output of the three new grains is too high, but it is a bit noisy.

One of the two is the merit of offering treasures, and the other is the merit of loyalty and responsibility, which cannot be said in the same day, and the gold content is also very different.

Politics has always been like this, of course, the first emperor did not treat Zhao Si badly, in fact, he had deliberately promoted the title and official position nominated by Meng Yi to a higher level.

Jane in the Emperor's Heart...... The same is the work!

If the First Emperor wants, even if Zhao Si has no credit, he can also let Zhao Si be a marquis, and the First Emperor can do it, but Zhao Si can't take it.

Zhao Si's foundation is too shallow, and it won't be long before the terrifying output of new grain will become famous all over the world.

At this time, Zhao Si, who has no political experience, and even his understanding of Daqin and even the world is limited to books, it will not be wonderful to stand on the cusp again.

Politics can never be measured simply by titles and official positions, and the twelve ministers of Ganluo are limited to this...... The officials of the feudal territory may not be able to withstand the entanglement of the Yellow Gate.

On the other side, in the side hall, Zhao Si had already finished freshening up.

Now that he has changed his clothes and knelt quietly in front of the desk, a palace maid carefully divided Zhao Si's hair into small strands and carefully wiped them clean with a thin towel for Zhao Si.

Zhao Si himself enjoyed melon and fruit snacks and buttermilk to fill his abdomen.

It wasn't until the palace maid finished wiping it, tied Zhao Si's hair, and wore a good crown, that she bowed and said goodbye.

Zhao Si touched his hair, leaving only a little wetness.

What followed was a long waiting time, until Zhao Si hesitated whether he wanted to take a nap for a while, when he suddenly heard a sound in the hall.

"Your Majesty! Silence, salute! ”

The rich voice is very familiar, although Zhao Gao is a eunuch, he looks dignified and resolute, and he has a beard, and his voice is also very thick, so that Zhao Si doesn't know whether Zhao Gao has cut it or not, and I heard that this product has a daughter......

may or may not be cut, no one said that you can't cut it after giving birth, in short, Zhao Gao's work is now in a state of Schrödinger.

Next, I heard the sound of the ministers hula and saluting in unison, Zhao Siren was in the side hall, not far away, not close, and he could hear the movement, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

If you want to join in the fun and listen to how the ministers brag, they can't do it, they were all kowtowing when they worshiped their ancestors before, and when it was their turn to discuss the skills, they would definitely not be able to avoid Zhao Si, the key gentleman.

On the occasion of this grand event, everyone has to mention Zhao Si to give a more or less pertinent evaluation, but when it comes to this unique boasting link, Zhao Si himself can't be present, which is somewhat uneasy.

And at this moment in the hall......

The sages are complete, and the young are long and salty......

Wang Jian is at the forefront of the old god, and Wang is left to accompany Wang Ben.

Such a grand occasion is also Zhao Si's first shining appearance in the Great Qin Dynasty, and at this moment, Wang Weizhong has already prepared a good draft, and decided that it is his turn to brag about his good brother.

It's just that the draft has not yet been typed, but I heard the voice of the eldest father in my ears.

"Don't say more......"

Wang Qian, as a mascot, the only Chehou of Daqin, a special existence beyond the court, the first to participate in the discussion of Gonggong, Wang Li was surprised to find that his eldest father almost completely skipped Zhao Si, opened his mouth about the Mandate of Heaven, closed his mouth to auspiciousness, and almost did not mention Zhao Si's work at all.

Wang Wei was surprised, the eldest father Wang Qian's senate can be described as outrageous, almost completely transparent to Zhao Si, and the number of times the word Zhao Si appears is only Liao Liao twice.

"Do as I ......"

Wang Li's ears sounded the voice of his father Wang Ben again, and then his father Wang Ben came out of the ranks, just like Wang Qian, without mentioning Zhao Si at all, just blindly attributing the credit to the mandate of heaven in Qin, but slightly affirmed that Zhao Si lived up to the king's destiny and was determined to return to Qin.

Although Wang Li had a rebellious backbone, he didn't dare to go against his father and father, although he had doubts in his heart, he also crushed the belly manuscript that he was ready to blow before, and completely changed a set of rhetoric like his father and father.

The ministers continued to senate......

Wang Jian set the tone and started to start, and the big guy simply followed Chehou to pat the first emperor's ass together.

Who wouldn't do the multiple-choice question of Kua Zhao Si and Kua Shi Emperor?

As a result, under the guidance of Wang Qian, the senatorial discussion skillfully bypassed Zhao Si, although Zhao Si's name could not be avoided, but it was obvious that he was no longer the core of the senate.

Wang was confused and spoke softly.

"Father!"

Wang Jian glanced at Wang Li, shook his head with a smile, and motioned for Wang Li not to speak.

Grandson Wang Li, still too young, in fact...... What does it matter how much you boast about?

The ministers praised it greatly, and the final result was nothing more than Zhao Si's fame, but whether it was praised or ignored, the decision on the reward that fell was in the hands of the first emperor.

It's just that Wang Jian got his head up, and the sycophants went astray, and in the end, Li Si had to go down in person to bring the topic back to Zhao Si, which allowed the next discussion to continue.

Li Si evaluated Zhao Si's merits impartially, without saying a little less, nor saying more than half a point, it can be said that he is the only person who has the core of the topic in Zhao Si in the entire senate.

"Xiangrui entered Qin, doctor Zhao Si, the contribution is indispensable!" Liss summed it up.

The First Emperor nodded slightly, a smile on his face.

Whether it was Wang Qian's performance or Li Si's performance, the First Emperor was very satisfied.

"In that case, Zhao Si, Doctor Zhao, enter the palace!" The First Emperor nodded.

"Zhao Si, Doctor Zhao, see you in the palace!" Zhao Gao's deep voice sounded.

Then the harem people sang one after another!

"Please come into the palace and see it!" In the side hall, the palace people spoke softly, Zhao Si was already ready to go, heard the sound of singing, hurriedly stood up, and after tidying up his clothes, he hurriedly walked towards the main hall.

Outside the hall, the sky is completely dark, the moon and stars are scarce, the sky is high and refreshing, Zhao Si has no intention of enjoying the scenery, and steps into the hall under the lights and bows.

"Minister, Zhao Si, see Your Majesty!"

After that, he bowed neatly near the door!

The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si, who looked like a dog with a smile on his face, and said, "Come close!" ”

"Listen to the music before the king!" Zhao Gao's thick voice sounded again, and Zhao Si was able to take a few steps forward, walk to the core of the ministers, and listen to the music in front of the king.

Zhao Si stood still, and Zhao Gao was signaled by the first emperor, so he picked up the edict and read it.

"Thirty-six years of Gan...... Balabala......"

It probably means that in the thirty-sixth year of the first emperor, Zhao Si returned to Qin in Langya, and he probably talked about what happened.

Zhao Si didn't care about this, he cared about how much his reward could be.

Obviously, the first emperor's edict did not talk much nonsense, affirming Zhao Si's merits, and after clarifying the output of the three new grains, it was directly a reward for the crew.

"All those who return to Qin will be added to the third level, rewarded with ten gold, three brocade horses, five hectares of fields, two houses, and two healthy cattle."

Zhao Siwen's heart was slightly calm, but fortunately, the credit of the crew who followed him back was also implemented and not ignored.

At present, the crew members are dukes, knights plus three levels, but they don't have to change their lives in the future, and there is also a good field house Jianniu Jinjin, it can be said that they have changed directly from a white body to a well-off family, if they can get lucky and go to the next level, they can become a person in an instant, and complete the class transformation in the real sense.

This kind of reward is not not insignificant, you must know that there are more than 400 crew members who have returned with Zhao Si, and the fields alone must be rewarded with 2,000 hectares. Of course, with such a large scale of land rewards, most of them will not fall in Guanzhong.

And next, it is Zhao Si's own reward, Zhao Si cheered up and looked forward to it.

Even most of the officials were full of curiosity, after all, Zhao Si's merits were not easy to measure.

"Ten mansions, 1,000 households, a thousand gold, 100 horses, 30 concubines, 30 concubines, the right chief of the lord, and the official servant!"

Zhao Gao's voice fell, and Zhao Si showed a happy look on his face.

Now he is no longer ignorant of the title of Great Qin.

What is the concept of the title of Right Chief? Wang Li, the oldest three generations of Great Qin, is now just the head of the left house.

Zhao Si's previous title was a doctor, and there was a difference of six levels from Youshu, and this is not something that can be summarized by how many levels the title has added, but a class leap has been completed.

Doctor, doctor, secretary!

Although Qin is a 20-level system, the actual core is still a four-level system of scholars, doctors, secretaries, and marquis.

Soldiers, for the soldiers who dare to fight, for the armored, for the government can be a small official.

Doctors, the lowest can be an officer, the highest can be a general, and if a politician is a county chief.

Qing, the lowest is also the chief general of an army, and the highest can lead a battle alone, and can be three princes and nine secretaries for politics, and the decentralized place can also be in charge of the affairs of a county.

As for Hou ...... In fact, the marquis of the Qin Dynasty was a higher-level qing, and because the Qin Dynasty implemented a county system, at most it was given to food and fiefdom, so it was more of an honorary nature.

The hierarchy system of the Qin Dynasty's titles is a bit like cultivating immortals.

It is easy to rise to the rank of knight at the same level, for example, at the stage of doctors, triple jumps are not uncommon.

At this stage, there are those who even jump directly to the marquis at the fifth level.

But from a soldier to a doctor, from a doctor to a secretary, it is very difficult to be promoted at this level that is just a foot in the door.

The threshold from a soldier to a doctor is the strictest, and basically most of the Li Shu battlefields can only go up and down at this stage for a lifetime.

If you are lucky enough to break through the threshold of doctors, you will also face the threshold from doctors to doctors.

In fact, in essence, although Qin has a military merit system, there is still no real Qianshou to complete the class leap from white body to qing.

In essence, it is just a division of today's quartile system into twenty equal parts, which seems to have been improved, but it is actually spinning in place.

Theoretically speaking, Zhao Si is the first, a real Qiantou, a white body of a non-aristocratic descendant, who has risen straight to the right.

And that's just secondary!

The most concerning thing is the official position of Zhao Si Shilang.

Lang Zhong Ling is divided into four classes, Yi Lang, Zhong Lang, Shi Lang, and Lang Zhong.

These four can be collectively referred to as Lang Guan, Shi Lang is a second-class Lang official, and one level up is Langzhong, and further up Langzhong is Jiuqing.

Lang Zhongling's responsibilities are very miscellaneous, a lot, close servants in front of the palace, discussing the government, and the rights are big and small, not by rank, but by the proximity of the king.

Generally speaking, if Lang Guan can't survive to Lang Zhongyi or Lang Zhongling, the final result is to be released.

Like the second-level Lang official Shilang, the release is generally started by the county department, of course, whether it can be released depends on whether the first emperor can remember to have you.

But there is no doubt that Zhao Si was appointed by the first emperor to serve as a servant, and Jian does not need to be suspicious in the emperor's heart, and the future can be described as open, and it is clear that he wants to take it with him to serve and cultivate close to him.

Although there are not a few people in the court who are higher than Zhao Si's official position, but in the face of officials close to the king such as Lang Guan, especially Zhao Si, who is hand-picked and servant, he must be born three points shorter.

The most important thing is that Lang Zhongling was born as a subordinate official, which is equivalent to Huangpu's background, although it is a position close to the king, but it is not fortunate to be flattering.

As long as Zhao Si maintains Jane's heart in the emperor's heart, whether he is released to preside over the military and political power of a place in the future, or change the department to govern the court and stir up the storm, it can be said that it will be a matter of course.

Zhao Si himself was also surprised by this result, he thought that he should start from Yilang or Zhonglang. Such a reward was unexpected, and Zhao Si hurriedly bowed down to thank him.

In fact, Meng Yi's initial proposal was the lord of the left chief and the official of the council.

Zuo Shuchang just crossed the threshold of Qing, but he is the lowest-level Qing, not so eye-catching, and there is a lot of room for growth.

Yilang, the minority of Lang officials, but they can also be close to the king.

It's just that the First Emperor finally pulled up the title and official position twice.

In fact, it's not much, if this credit is really counted on Zhao Si, it is not too much to be a marquis, the problem is that Zhao Si can't catch it.

If it weren't for Zhao Si's shallow foundation and learning, he would not have arrived at home, and with the character of the first emperor, it would be okay to be directly promoted to the top secretary.

The First Emperor has always highlighted a bold person.

Of course, there have been losses for this, but most of the results obtained are satisfactory enough.

Zhao Si stood still under the ministers, the joy on his face was not concealed at all, and the First Emperor nodded secretly.

Putting aside the official position for the time being, Zhao Si does not have the ability to take over the official, and he has no political achievements, so the squire can be regarded as promoting Zhao Si.

But the title was really deliberately suppressed.

And at the moment, Zhao Si's joy was not concealed at all, and the First Emperor could feel that Zhao Si was not at all satisfied with the grading of the title.

That's good, at least it shows that this kid is not insatiable.

As a matter of fact...... Zhao Si didn't realize that the title given by the First Emperor was low.

You must know that in history, Chen Zhenlong risked his life to bring back the sweet potato court, but he didn't say anything, and in the end, it was just that the descendants were grateful for the merits and erected a statue for his tree monument.

At present, it can be regarded as a complete merit......

After rewarding Zhao Si and thanking the First Emperor, basically the discussion has ended.

With the courtesy of the ministers, the first emperor retreated, and the day's affairs finally ended.

The ministers stepped out of the hall with a hula, and Wang Li immediately leaned in front of Zhao Si and said: "Congratulations, Zhao Shuchang!" ”

"Tsk, the title is one level higher than me!" Wang Li grabbed Zhao Si's arm with excitement.

"How can I compare with you......" Zhao Si waved his hand, Wang Li turned around from this kid to inherit Chehou.

"You can't say that, you're unprecedented now." Meng Yi patted Zhao Si on the shoulder.

Meng Yi has always had a good impression of Zhao Si, although Zhao Si has no military merits and no political achievements, but he is a down-to-earth and studious person, behaves decently, and has no discomfort at all when getting along, and he has indeed brought back a lot of good news.

At present, Zhao Si is a squire, a subordinate official of Lang Zhongling, Meng Yi is the secretary of Lang Zhongling, and Zhao Si can be regarded as Meng Yi's subordinate in the future.

"Your Majesty's Holy Grace ......," Zhao Si waved his hand.

This matter is not worth writing about, he is indeed the only person in the history of Great Qin who has completed the unprecedented leap from the head of the Qiantou in the true sense to the Qing class. At this point, no one can compare with Zhao Si, and it is foreseeable that Zhao Si's future is still bright.

But it can't be said for no reason, but it will create a barrier, after all, only Zhao Si is a Qianshou background, if you talk about it, it is somewhat unsociable.

"Remember to prepare your official uniform tomorrow, and you should be on duty in the palace without delay!" Meng Yi smiled and said goodbye to Zhao Si.

"I still want to ask what the waiter is doing......" Zhao Si opened his mouth.

"Then it depends on what His Majesty wants Lang Guan to do." Wang Li smiled and replied.

"Except for the value in the palace, there is generally nothing to do." The king replied.

Lang Zhongling: This place is a transitional station and a training school.

Of all the Lang officials, very few can stay in Lang Zhongling, and the final result is either to be released or transferred to another organization.

However, all the ministers in charge of the government basically have to be officials for two years for business training.

The fixed task of this place is to guard the palace gate for the First Emperor.

Secondly, it is necessary to complete certain training tasks.

The First Emperor would also convene Lang officials from time to time to discuss the political affairs of the court, and would also ask Lang officials to play alone for some specific events.

At the same time, the Lang officials need to deal with some of Lang Zhongling's own things, such as the first emperor's travel planning, personnel, entourage, roads, time, and equipment, which need to be planned and handled by the Lang officials.

Lang Guan gave priority to serving the First Emperor, and what the First Emperor needed, Lang Guan basically had to do something.

It's a bit of a minister, a secretary, an assistant, and a guard.

Including Meng Yi, in essence, the first emperor's edict Meng Yi entered the house to recite the recital, which is also a kind of senatorial government, and Meng Yi occasionally has to make a cameo appearance as a second general of the first emperor guarding the door......

At the same time, when traveling, Meng Yi either served inside or drove for the First Emperor outside. Although he is Jiuqing, what he does is not fundamentally different from other Lang officials, but Meng Yi's rights are greater.

The left and right phases, the imperial doctor, if you want to do great things, you have to consider Meng Yi's opinion. No matter how special the moment, for example, when the First Emperor toured the world, Meng Yi's rights were greater than those of the Three Princes and Nine Emperors, and Meng Yi was the controller and planner of the First Emperor's driving and convoy routes, including the accompanying list.

And it just so happened that the First Emperor was particularly fond of the Great Tour.

"I see," Zhao Si nodded as he listened to Wang Li'......s explanation.

There is no essential difference between all Lang officials and even Lang Zhongling, the work is still those jobs, the difference is only whether the first emperor let you do it or not, whether you can do it well or not.

After all, Wang Li has been a halberd lang and has studied in Langzhongling.

"Tsk! In other words, if Meng Yi had not left the convoy to pray for the mountains and rivers in history, there would have been no so-called dune coup......"

chatted with Wang Li all the way, and waited until they got out of the palace, and Zhao Si and Wang Li stepped on the frame together.

War horses gallop...... The frame is on the move!

"Isn't the Lantian camp here?" Zhao Si looked at Wang Li, who was driving, and didn't react for a while.

"Now that the three new grains have been produced, you have nothing to do in Lantian, you are now a Lang official, is it possible that you plan to leave from the Lantian camp tomorrow night to the palace to be on duty?" Wang Li turned to look at Zhao Si.

"And where are we going?" Zhao Si was surprised, and subconsciously asked.

"Your home, of course!" Wang Li smiled and spoke.

"My family?" Zhao Si was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the Wang family also gave himself a house in Xianyang City.

It's just that the yard has not been inhabited for a long time and needs to be taken care of, and Zhao Si lives in Lantian Daying, and it is troublesome to go out, so he has not been there, having said that, for so long, Zhao Si doesn't even know where this house is, and he only has the title deed and house deed documents sent by Wang Li.

Now it's really helpful, otherwise I will go to the palace tomorrow to be on duty, it's late today, if there is no house, I have to find a post house.

Wang Li drove the chariot, Zhao Si sat in the co-pilot seat and squinted slightly, about half an hour, the chariot had been safely parked in front of a house.

Stop at the side door, and the guests will open the front door to show respect, including the host himself, most of them also enter through the side door.

The side door is also guarded by subordinates, with a capable body, dressed in short linen clothes, which can be seen to be very strong.

"I've already explained it, and I've been specially arranging it for you for a long time, but you haven't been here, and you've gone in to rest...... If the subordinate concubines in the family disobey you and change their ...... by themselves," Wang Li showed an ambiguous smile.

Zhao Si looked at the subordinate who bowed to him in front of him, and the maid who was already waiting inside.

Wang has been arranging this guy for so long to arrange this thing? It doesn't look like a home at all, it's like a kiln......

"Master, please come in ......"

Zhao Si didn't even have a key, so he stepped into the tall and completely unfamiliar but his own yard, looked back, and just wanted to call Wang Li, but only saw that Wang Li's figure sitting on the frame had disappeared into the dim night.

Written in the hospital, the update was late, sorry guys.
