"Tianzong Xuanqing's son, Wuzhenhou, was granted the title of Wuzhenjunhou, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Bajun. After five generations, he was demoted to Chehou!"
"Who would have thought... that he is actually the half-brother of King Qin and the heir of King Zhuang Xiang."
"No wonder he is so favored by King Yingzheng of Qin. Since entering Qin, his honor has not diminished. However... this man is indeed a great talent. With his merits, such a reward is not an exaggeration."
"Earlier, I thought that Qin King Yingzheng would grant Xuan Qingzi the title of Duke. After all, there is no etiquette in the Qin State."
Xianyang, Qin State.
The first great court meeting after the unification of the world naturally attracted people's attention, although many of the contents of the great court meeting were not what some people expected.
After all...some things are still lingering.
In a Nancheng wine shop, in an elegant room, a group of people dressed as merchants were sitting and drinking with each other.
Mentioning today's Xianyang Zhangtai Palace Great Court Meeting, I felt a burst of emotion. Not to mention that King Qin Yingzheng directly granted so many marquises and high titles to the concubine.
Just the revelation of the identity of Wuzhen Hou Xuan Qingzi is enough to make people surprised and inexplicable.
The heir of the late King Zhuang Xiang of the State of Qin, and the half-brother of the current King Ying Zheng of Qin.
In this way, it is understandable why King Qin Yingzhenghui trusted Xuan Qingzi so much.
"Marquis of Wuzhen County!"
"It seems that another title has appeared in the Qin State. This time the Qin State has granted a large number of titles to the whole country. There are quite a few people who have received this title or above."
"I wonder if Qin's treasury can support so many titles."
One person chuckled.
Since Shang Yang's Reform, the 20th-level military knighthood of the Qin State has always been restricted to non-military merit. Later... political merit can also be awarded titles.
Before today, the titles of the Qin Kingdom had always been like this. Each of the twenty levels of titles could enjoy a salary. The lowest level also had a salary of fifty dan.
Among the twenty-first-class titles, if you can get a title by cultivating acres of land, then the highest you can get is the eighth-class title with a salary of 400 dan.
The fifth rank of the ninth rank requires military merit and political merit.
This time, the Qin State conferred dozens of high titles and titles, not to mention the other titles. There were tens of thousands of people, or more.
According to the honor of the title, Qin's treasury may be emptied.
"It would be better if it is emptied."
"It's better if there's chaos!"
"These Qin people now think they are superior to others, and they have nothing to be proud of."
One person hummed softly.
"Today at the great court meeting, the Central Academy proposed that the emperor be granted three titles, but King Qin Yingzheng did not agree. I am afraid he has other plans."
"As expected, we are going to take a new path. Is there really no news from the government?"
Three seals from the emperor!
It has been a tradition for three generations that when the Great Xia was established, the descendants of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors were given rewards. When the Great Shang was established, in addition to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there were also people from the Great Xia.
The same goes for Da Zhou.
It seems that King Yingzheng of Qin did not adopt it, which is strange.
Moreover, in the words flowing out of Zhangtai Palace, one can detect...Qin King Yingzheng's contempt for the Emperor of Zhou's false position of respect.
I don’t want to be an emperor like the Emperor of Zhou.
But to be another kind of emperor, like the emperor of Qin State!
This is not what Zhu Xia and them need, but they don't get much specific information. Ying Zheng will not announce it until a month later.
"Ying Zheng really doesn't want a feudal state?"
One person whispered in a deep voice. Although he held a wine bottle in his hand, he made no move to drink it.
Three seals from the emperor!
It's not a purpose, but a signal.
But Ying Zheng didn't even send out this signal.
"have no idea!"
Everyone in the elegant room looked at each other and shook their heads. They could only say that this possibility was very high. The specific result... was unclear. Maybe Ying Zheng did not have the final decision.
After all, there is still a month left.
"I hope those Ph.D.s from the Central Academy can gain something."
This matter...only the ministers of the Qin State's temples and the academicians can come forward. If they can persuade the King of Qin to win the government, that would be even better.
If it is not possible, the only option is to try other methods.
"I heard that the writing reform at the Central Academy has been completed?"
"Ying Zheng was indeed tyrannical. Not only did he burn all the ancient books of the various countries, but even the writing was completely changed. He was truly an unruly king."
"How could Haotian let the Xia fall into the hands of Qin?"
Chatting about various things falls into words.
There are also rumors inside and outside Xianyang that the Qin State will establish a standard writing system that is very different from the Taishi Zhouwen and the Shandong states, and it will be used in all Xia.
Some people think it's good.
They feel bad because among the banned words are the characters of their homeland, which they have been learning to use since childhood.
Qin's cavalry destroyed the homeland.
Ying Zheng wants to erase the imprint of their motherland on the elegance of writing, which is really hateful.
"The news should be out by now."
"The Qin State is now powerful. Let's see how Ying Zheng takes a new path."
"If I take the wrong path, it's the opportunity I've been waiting for."
Hold the wine bottle and drink it all in one gulp.
The Qin State wiped out all other countries, its military power was at its peak, and its national power was at its peak.
They can only lie dormant.
We can only wait for the opportunity to observe the situation of Qin's new road, restructuring, reform, new road... It is indeed so easy to do, and someone has already done it for three generations.
"What if...Qin goes on the right path?"
This is the truth. When the drinkers heard this, they thought of another possibility.
"If we go the right way, we will continue to do business."
Anyway, they are merchants. Sure enough, there were changes in the Qin State, and their merchant status may have changed. If not, they will not change.
"……."
Everyone was speechless and had no choice but to continue drinking.
Yes, all they can do now is wait.
…
…
"Wuzhenhou is now Wuzhenjunhou, what do you think?"
Due to the reform of the writing system, in recent days... Hu Hai has been a frequent visitor to the Xianyang Palace Car House, talking about various things, mostly asking for advice on calligraphy and writing.
As night falls, the breeze blows, and in the bright little hall of the Che Mansion, there is a world of its own.
Although the hall is not big, it has everything.
Sitting behind a large wooden desk, Hu Hai put the pen in his hand on the pen holder and followed the tasks and progress set by Wuzhen Junhou.
What I am currently responsible for is Korean characters. Korea was also a country of ten thousand languages back then, and there were quite a lot of characters in the country, but the statistics have not yet been completed.
But... the commonly used words have already been released.
Combined with the model book left by Wuzhen Junhou, I slowly compared it, hoping to get something out of it, at least to satisfy Wuzhen Junhou when making the assignment.
In this way, the father is also satisfied.
With Zhao Gao's help, it was not difficult, so he put the documents aside. Thinking of today's meeting, Hu Hai asked again.
Although he knew about it very early, he found out about it in the Central Academy. Since returning to the palace, he has not had a good discussion with Zhao Gao.
"The Marquis of Wuzhen County should be honored and favored."
"In the Qin Dynasty, there were twenty noble titles. The king gave the land of Bajun to Marquis Wu Zhen as a settlement. The Qin Kingdom has not experienced such prosperity for more than a hundred years."
Zhao Gao was also thinking about the reform of writing.
In Xianyang Palace, if you want to be treated differently by the king, you must have sufficient ability. As expected, it is just flattery. I am afraid that within three days, you will be kicked out by the king.
Having been with the King for many years, I naturally know the King’s temperament.
The same is true for Wuzhen Commandery and Marquis.
He was responsible for this matter, and as expected, the progress was delayed because of himself, which was not what Zhao Gao wanted. Fortunately... with the book of examples left by Marquis Wu Zhen, it was not too difficult.
"You know what I want to ask?"
With a pair of strange eyes flashing, Hu Hai stood up from behind the case and walked casually in the small hall. Of course he knew the honor and favor of Wuzhen Commandery and Marquis.
But...that's not what I want to know.
The Marquis of Guannei!
Chehou!
Even to the princes, no matter how honorable and favored they are, they are all given by the father.
Everything comes from the Father.
I understood this truth very early on.
He even knew that it came not so much from his father as from his position under his father. As a prince of a royal family, he was not a good prince if he did not have the heart to become a great king.
Wuzhen Junhou said in the National Protectorate Academy that a soldier who does not want to become a general is not a good soldier!
"You just need to do the writing thing now."
"No need to think about other things."
"It's useless to think too much!"
Zhao Gao didn't even raise his head, he still held his pen and buried his head on the paper in front of the case. There was already a lot of writing written on it. Judging from the shape, it was also square writing.
Between the movement of the pen and the stillness of the pen, the charm of the painting "The Supreme Good Is Like Water" is already 70-80%.
"Do a good job with words?"
"Even if we do it well, so what?"
Hu Hai was a little impatient.
"When your Majesty first ascended the throne, I was by your side."
"Thirteen years!"
"The king endured for thirteen years. Finally, he killed Changxin Hou Lao Ai, deposed Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei, and took sole power. Only then can today's grand event take place."
"You are not even thirteen years old now, why do you think so far ahead?"
"Your Majesty is not too anxious about something, but you are anxious about it. You are not seeking death!"
Zhao Gaoru said.
Unless he had no other choice, and without the words of Ningxiang Beauty back then, how could Hu Hai be so presumptuous in front of him?
At such an age, one dares to think about such a position.
Really brave.
All that's left is courage.
"If I am not in a hurry, Fusu will definitely be praised by Wuzhen Commandery and Marquis for this writing matter, and will be famous in front of my father."
"Could it be that you are afraid of Wuzhen Commandery?"
"Don't you dare to attack Fusu?"
"After all, the Lord Wuzhen's admiration for Fusu is known to everyone in the temple."
Hu Hai walked to the wooden case where Zhao Gao was sitting, and looked at the gradually familiar square characters on the paper. They were decided by the Marquis of Wuzhen, so he obeyed the words of the Marquis of Wuzhen.
Even the text is very similar.
Now let yourself be patient, low-key, dormant... To put it bluntly, I am still afraid of Wuzhen Junhou.
If not, how could one be so timid?
"If you are not afraid, you can... do whatever you want."
Zhao Gao's strokes paused and he raised his head...a smile appeared on his pale face.
Lord Wuzhen!
I am indeed afraid!
Not only was he afraid, but many Xia people were afraid of Wuzhen Commandery and Lords.
Above the temple, the king is in great favor.
In the field, among hundreds of scholars, the name of Wuzhen Commandery and Marquis...are all intimidating.
"you……."
"You know that's not what I meant."
"As expected, Fusu took advantage of him. It will be much more difficult to act in the future."
Facing Zhao Gao's gaze, Hu Hai looked directly at him without fear. However, after taking a breath, his heart was throbbing and he did not dare to look directly at Zhao Gao.
He snorted softly, the Marquis of Wuzhen... he couldn't afford to offend him.
I don't want to mess with him either.
Regarding the writing in front of me, judging from Zhao Gao's calligraphy, I could have shown off a little bit, but I just let myself settle down.
