Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 165

Yang Ming, the school captain of Ganquan Palace, has completed his career change because of Zhao Ji's order. He has changed from a school captain in charge of guarding the palace gates to a halberd guard guarding His Majesty's seat in the main hall, standing next to Li Xin. .

In the spacious and luxurious hall, on the high platform in front of your Majesty, Zhao Ji took the main seat as the owner of Ganquan Palace, and Qin Wangzheng and his wife sat on the right side of Zhao Ji. The Empress Dowager Huayang and the Empress Dowager Xia The person sits on the left side of Zhao Ji.

The seats on the left and right sides are full of the clan children of the Qin State. Chang'an Jun Chengyu is ranked first on the right hand, while Changping Jun is ranked first on the left. The rest are either based on seniority or power. They are divided into left and right columns.

There is a dancer dancing the graceful Chu dance in the arena. This is Zhao Ji's face for her daughter-in-law, otherwise, she would not let the dancer perform the Chu dance.

Zhao Ji prefers Zhao Wu, but today's day is really special, and Zhao Ji can only reluctantly make it a little harder.

With the accompaniment of the musicians, Yang Ming was able to enjoy the top dance in the world up close.

It's just that spectators like Zhao Ji didn't have much interest in admiring the dance at this time, but were talking to each other, laughing from time to time, looking happy.

Qin Wangzheng even summoned his younger brother Cheng Yu to his side, whispering something, Cheng Yu didn't show any rebellious look, he was completely respectful like a brother and friend.

Yang Ming was bored observing everything in front of him. These people in the hall at this time are undoubtedly the real protagonists of Qin State at present and in the next ten years. What Yang Ming pursues in a short period of time is almost in a similar banquet in the future. , to be able to get a seat instead of just sitting like you are doing now.

"Your Majesty, you can still recognize this Zhonglang Ai family next to you." Zhao Ji, who was on the main seat, glanced lightly across the backs of His Majesty Yang Ming and Li Xin, and turned her head to King Qin Zhengdao.

"My mother still recognizes Li Xin, yes, Li Xin once participated in the competition in Ganquan Palace, I think my mother remembered Li Xin at that time." Qin Wangzheng was a little surprised when his mother Zhao Ji mentioned Li Xin, but his face remained the same. It is as calm as water.

Born in the capital city of the enemy country, grew up in the court, and had contact with all the first-class figures in the world, Qin Wangzheng, although he was only a young man, his mental maturity and temperament were far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

He lives deep in Xianyang Palace. Although he is close to adulthood, he has no intention of being in a hurry to take charge of the government. Instead, he is like a dragon dormant in the abyss, indifferently observing everything that happened in Xianyang and Qin, and letting Lu Buwei take power. Let Cheng Yu forge ahead, let the people from the Chu family who have been dormant for nearly ten years surface.

He is just a calm observer, analyzing the various forces in the Qin State, silently accumulating his own strength, and weighing the choices that are beneficial to him, until one day, Qianlong leaps out of the abyss, dominates the Xianyang Palace, and transforms into Qin State the one and only king.

"Of course I remember, but, my lord, the choice of your Zhonglang is not very good. The captain of the Ai family's Ganquan Palace is only six hundred stones, and your Zhonglang is also six hundred stones, but your Zhonglang was in mourning at the time." The school lieutenant at home couldn't survive even ten moves." Zhao Ji said with a look of disgust.

Rao Qin Wangzheng had a calm temperament, and he was caught off guard by Zhao Ji's words at this time, so he could only say: "The widow's Zhonglang is naturally no match for his mother's school lieutenant, so let's take it as Li Xin who took advantage of it."

Although Qin Wangzheng was a little caught off guard, he still knew enough about his mother, Zhao Ji, to know how to reply to Zhao Ji.

"Li Xin's martial arts is not bad." Zhao Ji's words once again exceeded the expectations of the people around her.

"Yang Ming, captain of Ganquan Palace, the Ai family can also hear his name. He is a very good young man, and his martial arts is undoubtedly the first among his peers. Such a genius is just a captain, and he is indeed a bit inferior." Because of her niece and her source's consideration of the revival of the Chu family, the Empress Dowager Huayang also intended to improve her relationship with Zhao Ji, so she took the initiative to accept Zhao Ji's words.

"Really?" Zhao Ji looked at the Empress Dowager Huayang, with a little more joy in her brows.

"It seems that the news received by the Ai family should not be false." Seeing Zhao Ji's reaction, the Empress Dowager Huayang couldn't help but think of the message sent by the eyeliner who stayed in Ganquan Palace: Empress Dowager Zhao and her favored captain Yang Ming, this person He has a very high status in Ganquan Palace, and in the future, he will be in a high position above the court.

Qin Wangzheng, who knew more about his mother Zhao Ji than the Huayang Queen Mother, heard this and understood Zhao Ji's true meaning, so he said: "The imperial guards of Ganquan Palace are under the jurisdiction of the Weiwei Mansion, Yang Ming may be able to do it for you." The Prime Minister of Weiwei's Mansion."

"That's right, Li Xin is the Zhonglang of the Xianyang Palace, with a rank of six hundred stones, Yang Ming's ability is even higher than Li Xin, and the rank of a thousand stones in Wei Wei's mansion should be competent." The Empress Dowager Huayang echoed.

"Then it's settled. Lord Wei Wei, Lord Changping, won't have any opinions?" Zhao Ji said, looking at Changping Lord Xiong Qi, who was the first on the left of His Majesty.

Li Xin, who was persistent, heard this, even if his heart was tough enough, he could not control his weird and awkward emotions at this time. This is... Even though Li Xin had long faced the gap in strength between himself and Yang Ming, but Being said like this, I am still very unconvinced, very aggrieved, and very embarrassed.

At this time, Yang Ming finally understood why Zhao Ji made herself a job as a halberd master tonight. It turned out that everything was waiting here, thinking about getting her promoted.

Yang Ming didn't know what to say for a while, could he say that Zhao Ji was troublesome?Wouldn't it be nice to get cheap, but Yang Ming really didn't intend to use Zhao Ji's power to get himself promoted.

Wei Wei, one of the Nine Ministers of the Qin State, is in charge of the palace gate guards of the courts. Wei Wei's mansion has set up the post of Wei Wei Zhongcheng as his deputy, assisting Wei Wei to command the court guards. This is a time in the Great Dynasty. An official position qualified to stand at the gate of the main hall.

One step up from this one, the official positions of Jiuqing, the governor of a county, and the chief general of an army were directly smashed on Yang Ming's head. Zhao Ji wanted to directly knock Yang Ming unconscious with his official position.

When Xiong Qi heard this, he had already reacted, so he quickly replied: "If Captain Yang is by his side to assist, then I will naturally wish for it."

"Mr. Changping, you can rest assured that the person selected by the Ai family will not disappoint you." Zhao Ji smiled, and she even glanced at Yang Ming's back as she spoke, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth: Little guy, this time you have to thank Ai Jia well.

In the joyful banquet, time passed, until two hours later, the banquet was dispersed, and a carriage drove out of Ganquan Palace.

Qin Wangzheng stayed in the side hall of Ganquan Palace with his wife Mi.

"Zheng'er, although the Empress Dowager Huayang and the others can rely on their strength, they can't be completely trusted. They still have to use their own talents." Zhao Ji said to Qin Wangzheng in the palace where only the mother and son were left.

"What the queen mother said is true." Qin Wangzheng replied respectfully, with no flaws in his words.

"It's a pity that the queen mother's background is not good, and there is no mother clan behind her who can rely on her, so she can't help you." Zhao Ji showed regret when she said this.

Although Zhao Ji did not come from a small family, her background and status in the royal family of Qin was a fact, and it was impossible for her to have a force called foreign relatives around her.

"The queen mother gave life to the widow, this is the greatest gift." Qin Wangzheng said.

"Yang Ming is a man with good martial arts and is considered smart. Now he is learning the art of war from General Meng Ao. He has a very good relationship with Meng Ao's grandson Meng Tian, ​​and he is also from the Yang family in Hua County." Zhao Ji said.

After seeing Qin Wangzheng's closeness to the Queen Mother Huayang, the idea of ​​supporting her own people involuntarily emerged in Zhao Ji's mind. Power is too important in Xianyang City.

"It's really great to be valued by the general." Qin Wangzheng nodded, his calm eyes were as deep as the sea, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"His father, Yang Xi, is a direct descendant of the Yang family. He was a soldier of Lord Wu An back then, and he was exiled in Zhao State because of an accident." Zhao Ji introduced Yang Ming's situation to Qin Wangzheng.

She didn't want Qin Wangzheng to propose Yang Ming. After all, the current Qin Wangzheng has not yet been in charge, and he has no say in the appointment of officials. Zhao Ji's real purpose is to introduce Yang Ming, her own person, to Qin Wang Zheng, she wanted Qin Wangzheng to know that if those from the Chu family could help him, she could do the same.

From Zhao Ji's point of view, cultivating Yang Ming by herself, since keeping Yang Ming firmly by her side, can also help Qin Wangzheng and increase Qin Wangzheng's strength, no matter how you look at it, it is the best of both worlds.

But is there really the best of both worlds?

"Wu An Jun Bai Qi?" Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but feel moved when he heard the words. Although Bai Qi had been dead for nearly 20 years, as the invincible killing god of the Qin State back then, which of the most important generals of the Qin State who were over 40 years old had never been under him. Although the effectiveness of his subordinates, that incense will decrease as time goes by, but it will not disappear.

In particular, during the recent period, Lu Buwei vaguely showed Bai Qi's intention to reverse the case, and then used this to show favor to those generals who served under Bai Qi's command back then, so as to expand his influence in the army.

Nowadays, there are no outstanding figures in the Bai family. If Bai Qi can really be overturned, then the legacy he left may be...

A person with strong martial arts, Qin Wangzheng may not see in his eyes, and Meng Ao's disciples only aroused his ideas a little bit, but when it comes to Bai Qi and the legacy of the army behind him, Qin Wangzheng can't help but care.

Zhao Ji didn't know that her words had an effect, but continued: "He has no connection with Lu Buwei and the Queen Mother Huayang. If the king wants to do something, he is the most suitable candidate."

"The widow knows." Qin Wangzheng looked at Zhao Ji and said.

Yang Ming has no connection with Father Zhong and his grandmother, the Queen Mother, but he doesn't necessarily become a widow.As Qin Wangzheng thought about it, he looked away from Zhao Ji.

In Zhao Ji's cognition, Qin Wangzheng is her son first, and then Qin Wang, but in Qin Wangzheng's cognition, Zhao Ji is the queen mother first, and then her mother.

The two ideas may seem indistinguishable, but they are two very different things.

The kings of the nations claim to be widows, widows, widows, and lonely people. They only fully believe in their own power. As for others, their trust is limited after all.
