When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 234 Give Guest Qing, Feng Weiwei, and lead the net

"Lao Ai, a native of Xianyang, was originally a prime minister. She entered the palace with flattering words, threatened the queen mother, and gave her to Shanyang. His desire was insatiable, and he used Taiyuan County in the west of Hexi to become the country, and conspired to usurp it. He conspired with the party and invaded the palace.

Fortunately, the loyal ministers and good generals broke Ai's plot, put down Ai's rebellion, and got Ai and so on.

However, Lu's violent rebellion has never been seen in ancient times, and he must be severely punished.

Twenty people, including Lao Ai, Wei Weijie, Neishi Si, Zuo Yijie, and the doctor Lingqi, all took the lead.The chariot was split by partiality, and its ancestors were destroyed.He and his family members will all win titles, the lighter ones will be paid by ghosts, and the more serious ones will be relocated to Shu. "

Zhang Ji read the first half of the edict in one breath, and his voice spread throughout the palace with the blessing of internal force, allowing everyone to hear clearly the cause, process and result of Lao Ai's treason, and at the same time announced the Lai Ai and his henchmen were punished.

In this regard, the ministers have some new views on Ying Zheng, the young monarch.

The punishment Ying Zheng imposed on Lao Ai and the others was definitely not harsh, and it can be said to be very mild and lenient.

Car cracking and family punishment are inevitable, as long as the rebels follow the Qin law, they will not be able to escape these two items. As for the head of the owl, it means that the car is cracked first, and after death, the head is hung up to warn everyone.

As for the ghost salary, it is a kind of prison sentence, which was named after it was originally paid for the temple.

People who are sentenced to ghost wages will become handymen in the government, doing heavy physical labor without pay for three years, but the government will also provide criminals with food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The migration to Shu refers to the exile of criminals to Shu, and the residence registration will also be removed to enrich the local population.

The land in central Sichuan is rich, and it can be called "the land of abundance", but the development is still not perfect, and the population is not abundant, so the migration to Sichuan also brings new labor force to central Sichuan.

At the same time, it is difficult to enter and exit in the middle of Shu, and being far away from Xianyang also reduces hidden dangers to the mainland of Qin.

Of course, the most important point is that although the people of Bashu belonged to Qin, they still haven’t fully returned to their hearts. They need to migrate more outsiders to disrupt the population distribution of Shuzhong, reduce the independence and autonomy of Shuzhong, and completely let Bashu belong to Qin. Qin State.

Therefore, it can be seen that Yingzheng's punishment for Lai Ai and his party members is not harsh. Only Lai Ai and his [-] confidants, as well as his clan, all the followers and servants except those who died in battle Saved my life.

Moreover, Lai Ai and his confidantes, except for the scholar Ling Qi, are all savages in the market. Where did the clan come from?

For the kings of later generations, it would take tens of thousands of blood to quell the anger.

Zhang Ji ignored the whispered discussions of the officials and continued to read the second half of the imperial edict.

"Wang Jian, the lieutenant and the five great officials, was loyal to the country, made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion, and was promoted to the first rank. He was the head of Zuo Shu. He was given 74 hectares of land and houses each, and a hundred gold rewards!"

Hearing this, Wang Jian, who was dressed in black armor, trembled, and walked out of the ranks of generals, his face showed excitement, he put his head on the ground, and kowtowed: "My lord, Wang Jian, thank you, king!"

The kowtow ceremony is the most important etiquette, but even if it is rewarded, few people will perform this great ceremony.

But Wang Jian didn't care about these, even his voice trembled when he thanked him.

It wasn't that he was flattering, it was that the reward given by Ying Zheng was definitely a great gift to Wang Jian.

In the state of Qin, due to the theory of surplus, it is extremely difficult to promote the title.

However, there are countless famous generals in the Qin Kingdom. Although Wang Jian boasted that he was not inferior to the veteran generals Wang Jue, Meng Ao and others, he did not have the opportunity to command any large-scale battles, and his title was always stuck on the five nobles.

Although Wang Jian's life is low-key, it's not that no one appreciates Wang Jian. The position of lieutenant shows that Ying Zichu recognized Wang Jian back then.

But it was also the position of lieutenant that limited Wang Jian's military achievements.

The lieutenant is in charge of internal history and security, and also shoulders the heavy responsibility of commanding the garrison to defend Xianyang. This shows how much Ying Zichu trusts Wang Jian.

But even though he is in an important position, as a man, who doesn't have the dream of fighting in the battlefield and becoming a prince?
Don't look at the fact that the five doctors and Zuo Shuzhang are only at the first level, but there is a world of difference.

This natural moat has baffled countless famous generals in the Qin Dynasty, even Wang Yu was barely promoted to Zuo Shuzhang in his entire life.

Although the military merit system of the Qin State provided ordinary people with a ladder to climb upwards, the highest soldiers who were born as ordinary people were nothing more than five nobles in their lifetime.

It's not that the military merit system does not allow them to be promoted, nor is it that the kings of Qin and the dignitaries in the past dynasties did not allow them, but their own background caused their achievements to reach the limit and they were unable to be promoted to Zuo Shuzhang.

Zuo Shuzhang of the Qin State has already belonged to the ranks of high-ranking officials. Being promoted to Zuo Shuchang is also promoted from a doctor to a general, which is a watershed in the ranks.

The top five senior officials can only own 25 hectares of land and houses each, while Zuo Shuchang, the lowest rank among generals, can own 74 hectares of land and [-] hectares of houses each.

But to be promoted to a general, beheading and military merit alone are not enough. It is necessary to comprehensively consider all aspects of ability, at least to have a certain level of cultural accomplishment, and to have a certain vision in military strategy, not only between battles. To command, you must also have the ability to dispatch an army of tens of thousands of people.

Wang Jian has already met all these cultural and military capabilities. What he lacks is opportunities.

He needed someone who would allow him to earn the military merit that would allow him to be promoted to a general, but Wang Jian never got this opportunity.

He thought that maybe he would never be a general in his life, but Ying Zheng waved his hand and promoted him to Zuo Shuzhang.

According to the calculation of the number of beheadings this time and the profit of one's own casualties, although it can be regarded as a military achievement, it is far from enough to be promoted from the fifth doctor to Zuo Shuzhang, but this time is of special significance.

Of course, Wang Jian was not so lofty that he had to rely on his actual military exploits to get a general, and he didn't care about Ying Zheng's purpose, as long as Ying Zheng appreciated him, that was enough.

Naturally, it wasn't just Wang Jian who was conferred, his son Wang Ben was also on the award list, he was promoted from a public servant to a nobleman to a fifth doctor, and he also came to this feng shui ridge between the doctorate and the general.

When Lai Ai assassinated Zhao Ji, Li Xin and Qiang Yan, who severely injured Lai Ai, were awarded the third-level title, and then incorporated into the Guards Army for training.

After some rewards, everyone was satisfied with the rewards. Xie En's voice continued, but when he read the last column, Zhang Ji frowned and did not continue reading.

"Why don't you continue reading, sir?"

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Ji with a half-smile, and took the initiative to pressure Zhang Ji to continue reading.But regardless of whether Zhang Ji read it or not, the contents of the edict have been changed to take effect under the seal of the King of Qin.

After thinking about this, Zhang Ji slowed down a little, took a deep breath, and read the last sentence of the imperial edict.

"Zhang Ji, a native of Anyi in the state of Wei, first escorted the widow to return to the country safely, and rescued the queen mother many times, and was loyal to the Great Qin. He also quelled the chaos and prepared for rainy days. After one month, lead the guards to escort the widow into the Qinian Palace in Yongcheng, and perform the coronation ceremony!"
