Chapter 64: Appointed as Grand Commandant and Conferred the Title of Marquis Che [310 Subscriptions Requested]

Chat group.

Sha Zhu (Xu Damao): "Hiss, is it really like this?"

Zhu Tiedan (Zhu Wushi): "I have learned a lot. Thank you for your guidance."

Zhao Gao (Gao Yao): "I have learned a lot."

Linghu Chong (Dongfang Bai): "I've learned a lot. Thank you, group leader."

Yandere Crazy (Jiang Yuyan): "I've learned a lot. Thank you, group leader."

The Second Miracle (Xiong Ba): "Thank you, group leader."

Run Ge (Ding Xiu): "Thank you group owner +1"

When the group members heard this, they were all surprised.

Who would have thought that the world of cultivating immortals would be like this?
What a great experience!

[Group Leader] Huang: "Well, each of the heavens and myriad worlds has its own characteristics. We will have the opportunity to see them in the future."

Obviously, when the rulers of the three dynasties in the southern region faced the problem of uneven distribution of resources, the method they chose was to solve the problem of production.

As long as the refugees who rebelled because they lost their land and had no food to eat were killed, the rule of those in power would be relatively stable.

Although this method did not break the curse of dynasty cycles and only treated the symptoms rather than the root cause, it was undoubtedly effective.

Lin Huang can’t be said to be good, nor can he be said to be bad.

All I can say is that every world has its own characteristics.

Zhu Tiedan (Zhu Wushi): "I understand what the group leader means. In fact, these four methods can be summed up in one word: kill!"

"Kill off all those people or groups that are not conducive to stability, and the dynasty's rule will be stable."

Carefully recalling the four methods mentioned by the group leader, Zhu Wusi felt that they made more and more sense.

Who are the people who are affecting the stability of the Ming Dynasty nowadays? First, the royal family, and second, the landlords.

During the Ming Dynasty, the royal family was like fat pigs in a pen, seriously dragging down the court's tax expenditures.

The landlord class who relied on the scholar class to avoid taxes were also parasites sucking blood from the court.

If the butcher's knife was turned on these people and a purge was carried out, would the Ming Dynasty still perish?

Hiss! Zhu Wusi didn't dare to think about it anymore!

[Group Leader] Huang: "Yes, if you have read the 5,000-year history of China that I uploaded, you should also know what the hidden dangers of the Ming Dynasty are."

"As long as the problems of the royal family and the landlord class are solved, it won't be a problem for the Ming Dynasty to last for a hundred years, if not forever."

"The key question is, since you are not the emperor and you are a vested interest, can you be so cruel as to betray your own class?"

"Or do you want to rebel, become emperor yourself, and then carry out reforms yourself?"

Lin Huang was not optimistic about Zhu Wushi. Since ancient times, reformers have never had a good ending, such as Shang Yang, Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng, the Six Gentlemen of the Wuxu Reform, etc.

Of course, he will not interfere with the decisions of group members. He will only give corresponding suggestions, and the decisions are still made by the group members themselves.

Zhu Tiedan (Zhu Wushi): "What the group leader said is very true. I must consider it carefully."

"As for rebellion, I don't have such an idea at the moment, but maybe I will change my mind in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wusi nodded in agreement.

The group leader is right. He is a vested interest himself. How could he do something that goes against his own class?

As long as he dares to publicly say that he wants to betray his own class, he will be the enemy of the whole world and there will be no place for him in this vast world.

Therefore, Zhu Wusi must carefully consider whether he should reform.

In other words, how to prolong the Ming Dynasty without affecting its rule.

This is a difficult problem, but Zhu Wusi is very interested in challenging it.

As for rebellion, it is impossible for him to rebel.

With the chat group in hand, Zhu Wusi had no interest in being emperor at this time.

Zhao Gao (Gao Yao) said: "Oh my god, I just returned to the Qin Empire and the Emperor Qin Shi Huang came to greet me personally. He invited me to serve as an official in the court."

"Brothers, he is so sincere, what should I do? Should I agree to him?"

At this moment, Gao Yao suddenly spoke, his tone filled with excitement and uneasiness.

Mythical world.

Gao Yao traveled all the way south from the northern border and returned to Jiuyuan County in the Qin territory.

"Mr. Gao, I have been waiting here for a long time."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned, he was met by the First Emperor who welcomed him with great ceremony.

It turned out that Ying Zheng had already known about Gao Yao's trip to the northern border to massacre the Xiongnu tribe, and he had come here specially to wait for his return.

"Ying Zheng, what are you waiting for me here for?"

Gao Yao was slightly stunned, his face full of confusion.

This statement came out.

Ying Zheng was slightly stunned.

Meng Yi and others felt their hearts tighten.

This Mr. Gao is so rude that he actually calls Your Majesty by his name.

"Mr. Gao, you have pursued the Xiongnu in the grasslands and driven them to migrate westwards. This is truly a great achievement for our Great Qin!"

Ying Zheng was an open-minded emperor and would not get angry because of a name. He responded loudly and cheerfully.

"As a Han Chinese, killing foreigners is my duty. It's nothing."

Gao Yao would raise the corners of his mouth. When being praised, it depends on the situation. If it was an ordinary person praising him, he might be indifferent.

But the situation was very different when he was praised in person by the first emperor in history, Qin Shihuang. He was very excited.

“Han people.”

Ying Zheng was stunned again. Shouldn’t they be Qin people? What the hell are Han people?

"I would like to invite you to the court, appoint you as the Grand Commandant of the Qin Empire, confer you the title of Marquis of Che, and place you in charge of the Qin Empire's military. I beg you to agree."

But Ying Zheng still didn't care. He bowed to Gao Yao and invited him sincerely.

He hired people based on their talents and merits, regardless of their social status. He didn't care even though Gao Yao was born a government slave.

He was able to produce a magical elixir that could extend one's life by five hundred years, and he could single-handedly kill the Huns and force them to flee into the desert. It would not be excessive for him to treat such a powerful man with great respect.

"Ah this."

Gao Yao was shocked. This was too sudden.

Having been in the Qin Dynasty for some time, he also had some understanding of the Qin system.

The official system of the Qin Dynasty was a system of three dukes and nine ministers. The three dukes were the prime minister who controlled administration, the general who was in charge of military affairs, and the chief censor who supervised all officials.

Below the Three Dukes were the Nine Ministers, who served as the court's administrative organ and were in charge of specific administrative affairs, such as Fengchang in charge of the ancestral temple, Langzhongling and Weiwei in charge of the palace guards, and Tingwei in charge of judicial affairs.

These are the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers at the central level of the imperial court. At the local level, each county has a county governor, a county lieutenant, and a censor. Their powers are similar to those of the Three Dukes, and the three powers are separated.

The position of Taiwei is in charge of all the troops and military mobilization in the world. It can be said that he is the highest official in the country and holds great power.

Now, Qin Shi Huang actually appointed Gao Yao as the Grand Commandant of Qin and handed over all the military power in the world to him.

This is too ridiculous!

Wow~!

Not only Gao Yao, but everyone else present was also greatly shocked.

"What should I do? Ying Zheng is so sincere, should I agree to him?"

Gao Yao was very excited, but also a little nervous.

He didn't know whether he should agree or not.

It just so happened that the group leader said that he gave Qin Shi Huang a life-extending pill, which was not helpful but harmful.

Gao should think about it carefully. The group leader is right.

What would people in the world think if Qin Shihuang lived for 500 years without strong power?
I'm afraid he will find ways to eat his flesh and drink his blood!

"This happened because of me, so I have to take responsibility."

Gao Yao had already had some intention in his heart, but he had not made up his mind yet.

He is self-aware and is good at killing people.

With his current strength, he really can't find an opponent in the whole world.

But if he were asked to become an official, and a high-ranking official in charge of the military forces of the entire country, he would not be able to handle it.

He has never studied politics, so he can't handle it!

"By the way, if I can't make up my mind, I can ask the group owner and group members for help." Suddenly, Gao Yao had an idea and quickly opened the chat group.

Chat group.

Sha Zhu (Xu Damao): "Oh my god! Qin Shi Huang personally came to greet you, and he even invited you to be an official?"

"What kind of position did he ask you to hold? He wouldn't just give you a small position and send you away, would he?"

"Lao Gao, you have to be more reserved and don't sell yourself out so easily."

When Xu Damao heard this, his face was filled with envy and jealousy, and his eyes turned red.

Linghu Chong (Dongfang Bai): "Qin Shi Huang invited you to serve as an official. Even if you refuse, your name will go down in history."

Dongfang Bai recently read the book "Five Thousand Years of Chinese History", and his understanding of Qin Shihuang has changed.

She had to admit that although Qin Shihuang was a tyrant, that did not prevent him from being a wise ruler at the same time; the two were not in conflict.

Qin Shihuang deserves the title of "The Greatest Emperor of All Time" just for his achievements in unifying the six kingdoms, creating the county system, standardizing the writing system, the wheel gauge, weights and measures, pacifying the Baiyue in the south and defeating the Huns in the north, and the fact that all dynasties after the Qin Dynasty followed the Qin system.

Wow, Qin Shi Huang personally invited Gao Yao to serve as an official in the court. This will definitely go down in history!

Zhu Tiedan (Zhu Wushi): "Qin Shi Huang is indeed remarkable."

The Second Miracle (Hero): "Tell me a joke. Xu Fu was afraid of Qin Shi Huang, so even though he got the Phoenix Blood, he hid on the Japanese island for hundreds of years and didn't dare to return to the Central Plains."

Run Ge (Ding Xiu): "Brother Gao, you are going to be rich, please don't forget me when you become rich!"

The three of them have also read "Five Thousand Years of Chinese History" and they really admire Qin Shihuang.

Zhao Gao (Gao Yao): "He asked me to be the Grand Commandant, one of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, in charge of the army of the whole country, and also conferred me the title of Marquis Che, which means I am second only to the emperor and above all others."

"To be honest, I was really excited at first. It feels so good to be valued by others!"

"The group leader just said that I gave him the longevity pill. This is not helping him, it's harming him."

"So, in my heart, I was actually inclined to accept Qin Shi Huang's invitation, but I was a little hesitant."

"Think about it carefully. I'm only a junior high school graduate. How can I beat those old bitches in the court?"

"If I get cheated by them, I might have to help them count the money if I get sold one day, so I hesitated."

"Brothers, help me think carefully, should I agree to him?"

Gao Yao was in a dilemma and couldn't make up his mind.

When it comes to officials playing politics, all the officials in the court are professional players, and he is just an amateur.

Gao must have self-awareness. He doesn't want to be exterminated along with his entire clan one day without knowing it.

Although he is not afraid of it given his strength, this is too disgusting.

Sha Zhu (Xu Damao): "Holy crap, the position of Taiwei, one of the Three Dukes, and the position of Chehou, the highest military rank of the 20th level in the Qin Dynasty?"

"Lao Gao, listen to my advice. The water is too deep for you to handle. Let me take charge!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao immediately drooled with envy and jealousy.

He directly jumped from an ordinary person to become one of the Three Dukes, which is the highest position for an official.

Why was it that his 'good brother' was personally appointed Grand Marshal by the Emperor, but he did not receive such treatment?
Xu Damao was so jealous that his whole body was falling apart!
Linghu Chong (Dongfang Bai): "Grand Commander? Marquis Che? Hiss, Qin Shi Huang is so courageous!"

Even Dongfang Bai was surprised when he heard it.

The sickly and crazy one (Jiang Yuyan): "Hiss!"

The Second Miracle (Xiong Ba): "Hiss!"

Zhu Tiedan (Zhu Wushi): "Hiss!"

Run Ge (Ding Xiu): "Hiss!"

Jiang Yuyan and the other four gasped in shock.

[Group Leader] Huang: "@Zhao Gao, Qin Shi Huang appointed you as the Grand Commandant? Tsk tsk, that's really unexpected!"

"From what I hear you mean, you want to try but are afraid of failure? Got it!"

"You can make a three-article agreement with Qin Shi Huang and just focus on fighting and not politics."

"Besides, even if something goes wrong, your life won't be in danger given your strength."

"Being an official can train one's willpower and emotional intelligence. Think about it yourself."

Lin Huang was also a little surprised. Qin Shihuang's attitude of recruiting talents without any restrictions and his broad mind were truly astonishing.

Gao Yao was only born in the official slave camp, but he dared to directly appoint him as the Grand Marshal in charge of the country's military.

Lin Huang also heard the hidden meaning in Gao Yao's words. Faced with Qin Shihuang's invitation, Gao Yao was tempted.

But at the same time, Gao Yao was afraid that he wouldn't do well, and was struggling and hesitating.

Zhao Gao (Gao Yao): "Is that so? That's indeed the case. Thank you for your guidance."

"I decided to accept the invitation of the First Emperor!"

Gao Yao heard this and found that what the group leader said made sense, so he responded immediately.

Mythical world.

With the guidance of the group owner and group members, Gao Yao pondered for a moment and finally made a decision.

"Your Majesty, I am a commoner with little knowledge and mediocre abilities. How can I be worthy of such a great responsibility?"

Gao Yao decided to accept Qin Shihuang's invitation, but the conditions still needed to be negotiated. Just as Xu Damao said, he had to be reserved.

Moreover, the group leader was right, he had to negotiate terms with Qin Shi Huang first.

"You are wrong, my friend. With your talent, I think you are qualified to be the Grand Commandant of the Qin Empire."

Hearing the change in Gao Yao's address, Ying Zheng was greatly excited and smiled.

He knew that Gao Yao was already moved, but he was just a little hesitant in his heart, which was nothing.

"I'm a straightforward person. I don't beat around the bush. I just say what I want to say."

Gao Yao saw this and stopped playing tricks on him. He said bluntly, "Your Majesty, it's fine for me to be the Grand Commandant, but I'm not very sensitive to politics. I don't know how to deal with ministers, and I don't know how to be worldly-wise or curry favor with the powerful."

"If I accidentally offend your Majesty or the ministers one day, please tell me directly."

"I can resign and live in seclusion in the mountains, but Your Majesty, you can't turn your back on me and call for my death."

Just like the group leader said, Gao Yao has a lifespan of more than a thousand years, so there is still a lot of time.

It is also a good thing to gain some experience in the officialdom and to hone your emotional intelligence and the principles of how to behave in society.

With his extraordinary strength, the so-called entry into the world and exit from the world does not just depend on his thoughts.

"a man of his words!"

"I promised Gao Qing that as long as you don't let me down, I will never let you down!"

Ying Zheng was overjoyed. According to Gao Yao's words, he was a lone minister. Lone ministers were good. He liked lone ministers!

It doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to curry favor with the powerful, as long as he can do things for him. Such a minister is a good minister.

"Then let's make it a deal. Your Majesty, I will be meeting you."

Gao Yao did not hesitate any longer, he immediately bowed and knelt, declaring himself as his lord.

"Haha, please stand up quickly, Mr. Gao. I will make a formal announcement to the world after we return to Xianyang."

Ying Zheng quickly helped him up and laughed excitedly.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your humble servant, Doctor Ling Meng Yi, greets General Gao!"

Meng Yi first congratulated Ying Zheng, and then paid his respects to his superior as a minister, and met Gao Yao as a minister.

He was the Minister of the Palace, one of the Nine Ministers, ranked below the Three Dukes, in charge of palace guards and was Ying Zheng's personal bodyguard.

"We greet General Gao!"

A number of guards and close ministers also greeted Gao Yao.

"Greetings to Doctor Meng and all my colleagues."

Gao Yao bowed and returned the greetings to everyone.

"Gao Qing, please ride with me!"

After everyone had finished their greetings, Ying Zheng took Gao Yao to the imperial carriage to show his favor.

He had a lot of things in his mind and couldn't wait to ask Gao Yao, such as how Gao Yao refined the longevity elixir, why he had such strength, etc.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Gao Yao did not pretend to be coy and refuse, and he got on the emperor's carriage with confidence.

"Send the order back to Xianyang!"

Ying Zheng laughed and gave an order, and the convoy returned to Xianyang.
