When Zhao Tuo walked out of this side hall, the west slanting sunlight outside shone on him, making Zhao Tuo feel like he was in another world.
After knowing the standard answers, you can participate in the Qin Wangzheng assessment. As long as you are not born stupid, or have a stubborn temper like Fusu, and insist on using your own opinions to contradict the King of Qin, it is actually easy to get full marks.
In the history of the Qin Dynasty, since the attack on South Korea in the 17th year, troops have been sent out and fought year after year. The Qin army's offensive was so ferocious that the six kingdoms of Shandong were breathless. In just ten years, all six kingdoms were wiped out. Execute.
The answer to the question is obvious.
Zhao Tuo only needed to add on this basis and analysis of the internal situations of Wei, Chu, and Qi to directly penetrate the heart of Qin Wangzheng and make him happy, feeling that this son really knows what I think.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but sigh.
As he just said, as long as the world is unified and there is no more fighting between the countries, the King of Qin can appease the common people, let the men of the common people in Guizhou enjoy their fields, and the women cultivate their fields, so that the world will be stable for a long time, and peace will last forever.
How wonderful it sounds.
But Zhao Tuo knew clearly that the king in the palace could not do it, as later generations said.
"The world has been settled, and the mentality of a single man is becoming increasingly arrogant."
After the destruction of the six kingdoms, this king will continue to conquer Baiyue in the south, drive the Xiongnu in the north, build the Great Wall and roads, build palaces and mausoleums, and seek the illusion of immortality.
There are military and state affairs that should be done, and there are also luxurious enjoyments that should not be done, which will only waste people's energy.
"Let's take it one step at a time. No matter how much we think about the future now, it's just empty talk. Now that I've been recruited as a knight, I'll work hard first. When the war starts again, I'll try my best to make meritorious service and win the title. Only I have climbed high enough. Only in the future will you have the power to change.”
Zhao Tuo thought to himself, and his plans for the future were very clear.
Qin Wangzheng has recruited him as a Langguan, and it seems that he wants to focus on training Zhao Tuo and follow the same path as Li Xin.
In this way, being able to guard the palace would give Zhao Tuo more opportunities to contact the core of Qin.
"I am not a mean person. If you serve in the army for a long time, you will definitely feel tired. You will rest for a while and report back after the new year."
Zhao Tuo couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
It is already September, and the Qin State's calendar celebrates the New Year in October. The so-called rest period adds up to less than a month.
However, Qin Wangzheng himself is a workaholic and has to review dozens or hundreds of kilograms of slips a day. It is considered good that he can give Zhao Tuo an annual leave.
Zhao Tuo planned to go back to Chaoyang where his household registration is located as soon as the matters here are finished.
Heng is still there, still cultivating hundreds of acres of land for him.
Zhao Tuo was still worried about this little brother who had lived and died with him.
While thinking about it, Zhao Tuo walked towards another palace under the guidance of the palace attendant.
Celebration banquet!
The King of Qin also wanted to have a feast to celebrate the achievements of the heroes and generals who conquered Yan.
As the man who personally captured Yan Dan, although his title was not high, he was also invited.
As soon as he entered the palace, Zhao Tuo saw Wang Jian, Li Xin and several generals waiting here.
However, there was no figure of Qiang Fu in it. This Qiang general was unlucky. He could have made a great contribution by conquering Jicheng step by step and steadily promoted to the next level. However, he was greedy for merit and pursued the king of Yan, and made a big mistake.
Although Qiang Yu followed the generals into the palace, not only did he not receive any reward, he was not even invited to the celebration banquet. He could only go back depressed and became the laughing stock of everyone.
In addition to the military personnel, there were several other important ministers in the palace.
"Zhao Tuo, come here quickly."
Li Xin was sitting alone in front of the case drinking wine. He was not good at talking. After chatting with the veterans in the palace for a few words, he had nothing to say. He could only watch Wang Jian chatting and laughing with them. When he was bored, he saw Zhao Tuo entering the palace. , hurriedly stretched out his hand to say hello.
This cry alarmed everyone in the palace.
"General Lee."
Zhao Tuo stepped forward and called out.
Li Xin nodded and was about to speak when Wang Jian, who was not far away, already spoke: "It turns out that the young man who personally captured Yan Dan is here. Come here quickly and I will introduce you to him."
Zhao Tuo could only apologize to Li Xin, walked respectfully to Wang Jian, and saluted.
"Haha, you don't have to waste your time talking. We are already familiar with this young man."
The speaker was an old man with a white beard. He was not tall, only about seven feet tall. He has a kind face with many wrinkles, but his eyes are very bright, filled with the light of wisdom.
"Hey, what Mr. Wei said is, look at my memory, you guys knew this guy earlier than I did."
Wang Jian slapped his head and remembered Jing Ke's assassination of Qin. He knew the details of Zhao Tuo and knew that Zhao Tuo had made an impassioned speech in the main hall, which had already been seen by all the ministers.
Wei Gong?
Is this person Bang Wei Wei Liao?
Zhao Tuo's heart moved. Wei Liao was a heavyweight in the Qin State. Not only did he control the highest military organization in the Qin State, he was also a world-famous military master. Many of the military systems in the Qin State today were created by his reforms. It can be said that A military minister whom the King of Qin relied heavily on for his political affairs.
"Although we know this Mr. Zhao, he may not necessarily know us. Let me introduce him."
The person who spoke was Chang Shi Lisi. He had met Zhao Tuo several times. Zhao Tuo had also approached him when he reported rape. There was a special relationship between the two, so he took the initiative to act as a go-between.
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
Zhao Tuo thanked him quickly.
"This is Prime Minister Zuo, Duke Wei."
"This is the Duke of Bangwei Mansion."
"This is Lord Yao, your superior."
"Who is this……"
With Li Si's introduction, Zhao Tuo also gradually got to know several military ministers trusted by Qin Wangzheng. He looked humble and greeted each of them respectfully.
This is a great opportunity to make friends with the ministers and ministers of the State of Qin. These people are either prime ministers or lieutenants, and each of them has a title above that of minister.
Zhao Tuo is a small public servant. If he hadn't made a great contribution this time, he would never have had the opportunity to talk to these people. Now if he doesn't seize the opportunity to gain favor, what are he waiting for?
Faced with Zhao Tuo's humility, everyone had different reactions.
The first is Wang Jian and Li Si. Both of them have friendship with Zhao Tuo, so they naturally look kind.
Prime Minister Zuo's appearance was completely different. Although he reluctantly responded because of Li Si's face, his face was perfunctory, and he looked at Zhao Tuo with some disgust in his eyes.
Zhao Tuo was thoughtful and remembered that Wei Zhuang seemed to be a conservative. When Qin unified the world in the future, he seemed to be the leader in advocating the enfeoffment system. This man didn't pay much attention to me, probably because of Jing Ke's incident.
However, Zhao Tuo still looked respectful and addressed himself as "Kui Gong", making it hard for anyone to fault him on the surface.
Compared with Prime Minister Zuo, Wei Xiang's thoughts are superficial.
Another minister, Yao Jia, left Zhao Tuo unsure. This man had an expressionless face and responded to Zhao Tuo's greetings normally. His tone was calm, making it impossible to tell what his attitude was in his heart.
This man is very dangerous and must not be offended!
Zhao Tuo secretly made a note in his mind that if he remembered correctly, Yao Jia was the person responsible for driving a wedge between the six kingdoms and handling espionage matters for the King of Qin.
Due to his activities, the various countries in Shandong were at odds with each other, and the ministers of various countries were bribed by Yao Jia. They were called ministers of the Six Kingdoms, but in fact they were lackeys of the Qin State. Among them, the most famous ones were Zhao Xiang Guo Kai and Qi Xiang Later Victory. .
What really showed Yao Jia's ruthlessness was that Han Fei had a grudge against him after entering Qin.
Han Fei looked down on Yao Jia and called him "the great thief of Liang and the chaser of Zhao". He spoke ill of Yao Jia many times in front of the King of Qin. As a result, Yao Jiaji hated him and teamed up with Li Si to put Han Fei in jail and kill him. It can be said that if he didn't take action, he would be killed.
Compared with Wei Zhuang's disgust and Yao Jia's elusiveness, Wei Liao is very kind.
With a smile on his face, he took the initiative to say to Zhao Tuo: "I heard from the chief concubine that this young man is quite knowledgeable in the art of war and has fought on the battlefield. This time he has returned to Xianyang. If he has no position, he can come to work in my mansion. .”
This invitation was full of sincerity, which made Zhao Tuo's heart move.
Wei Liao actually has a good impression of herself.
He is a master in the art of war. If he works under Wei Liao and learns a few military tactics, he can make a lot of money.
It's a pity that Qin Wangzheng has already taken advantage of Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo could only refuse and said: "Thank you very much for your kindness, Duke Wei. I wish I could listen to Duke Wei's teachings more often. But the king has just recruited me as a man, and I will take office in the next year. Please forgive me for my sins."
"Oh? The king personally recruits you as your husband?"
Everyone was surprised, even Wei Xiang couldn't help but raise his eyelids and take another look at Zhao Tuo.
Among the Lang officials, whether they are Zhong Lang, Lang Zhong, Wai Lang, or Yi Lang, they all only have a rank of several hundred stones. Usually, the children of wealthy families and the descendants of meritorious officials can directly enter the ranks of Langguan based on their family background, such as Li Xin, Wang Li and others.
Lang Guan is not unusual, but if the king himself calls for recruitment, it will be completely different.
You must know that even Li Xin, Meng Tian and others first entered based on their family background and then stood out based on their performance. They did not enjoy the treatment of being personally recruited by the king.
When Zhao Tuo went to the palace to accept the reward, it could be said that it was because of his personal contribution to capturing Yan Dan, which could not be explained.
Now that the king is recruiting him personally, the information here is not simple. This is to truly train Zhao Tuo as a close confidant.
His starting point is actually higher than Li Xin, Meng Tian and others!
