Chapter 107 Cleaning and Big Ship
"Before you were alive?"
Mo Jun was surprised.
The news of Lu Buwei's death has spread to most of Xianyang, so it is impossible for Mr. Mo not to know.
What surprised him was that the relationship between him and Lu Buwei was not good.To put it bluntly, Lu Buwei has fallen to this point, and there is absolutely an inescapable connection with Mo Jun.
If it is said that Ying Zheng is the one who handed the "sword of suicide" to Lu Buwei.
Then Mo Jun is definitely the craftsman who made the knife, and not only did he forge the knife, he even poisoned the blade.
Under such circumstances, Lu Buwei actually left something for Mo Jun before he died, obviously it is hard to avoid suspicion.
"grown ups!"
Xiong Da, Hei Yu, and Jian Jiuyuan came to Mo Jun at the same time, and stretched out their hands to hold down the bamboo slips. Although they didn't say much, the meaning of the three of them was already obvious.
Although Mo Jun felt that it was unlikely that Lu Buwei would engage in such a 'small trick', just to be on the safe side, he also handed over the bamboo slips to Jian Jiuyuan, and said: "Be careful!"
In fact, if there is really some mechanism hidden in this scroll of bamboo slips, poisonous smoke, it would be the safest for Mo Jun to open it among all the people present.
half a year ago.
Mo Jun has already cultivated the "Song of No War" to the highest level of the ninth floor, and now he is practicing defense horizontally, even if he resists the explosion of "fire sulfur stone (gunpowder)", he can remain unscathed.
Coupled with having [Life Crystal] as a trump card, there is no poison in the world today that can poison Jun Mo to death.
However, Mo Jun's status is not what it used to be.
No matter how high his martial arts is, no one else can let him take such a risk.
Even if he is still the magistrate of Nanjun, as a retainer, he has never had the reason to let the lord take the lead.
The rest spread out in all directions.
Only Jian Jiuyuan and Yao Gui were left, and Yao Gui took out a silk scarf to cover his face, and then carefully opened the bamboo slip with a wooden stick.
And Jian Jiuyuan, who was beside him, held the hilt of the sword with one hand, concentrated his mind, and was ready to draw the sword at any time.
But luckily, nothing happened in the end.
After the bamboo slip was opened, a yellow-brown map made of some kind of animal skin was revealed inside.
Other than that, nothing else.
Yaogui checked again, and after confirming that there were no problems, he handed the bamboo slips and the map to Mr. Mo.
And when Mo Jun saw the content recorded on the bamboo slips and the animal skin map, his eyes suddenly focused.

······
The next few days.
Mo Jun's mansion received congratulatory gifts from all parties almost every day.
Most of them are out of etiquette and friendship, only a small number of people are out of apology.
After all, in the land of Bashu, many people subconsciously ignored Mr. Mo because they were afraid of the influence of Lu Buwei and his relatives from Chu.
As a result, five days east and five days west.
In the blink of an eye.
Not only did Mr. Mo become the most favored minister of King Qin at that time, he also worshiped Jiuqing and was titled "Shengping Jun".
And after returning to Xianyang, a group of people suffered the super critical blow of "Lu Buwei's death".
With Lu Buwei's death, Yingzheng, who had taken power all by himself, completely lost his last scruples, no longer concealed his ambitions, and began to frantically clean up the hostile forces in the Qin court.
Just three days.
There were already two Jiuqing and 32 scholar-bureaucrats dismissed from office.
They were replaced by officials secretly cultivated by Yingzheng in the past. These people, like the former Mo Jun, were recruited by Yingzheng early on. Over the years, they have been hiding in the court and everywhere in the place.
It's just that they didn't bring so many surprises to Ying Zheng like Mo Jun did.
a time.
The entire court of the Qin State was turbulent and turbulent.
Many veteran nobles and officials are in danger.
After all, since the power struggle between Lao Ai, Lu Buwei, Lord Changping, and Yingzheng was able to survive until now, no one can guarantee that his body must be clean.
And if you want to survive such a storm, you can only take a big boat with enough weight.
Nowadays, there are only a few large ships in the entire Qin Dynasty.
in the old forces.
Chu's foreign relatives, the Meng family, and the Wang family can all be regarded as relatively stable ships.
However, in today's state of Qin, anyone can see that although the big ship of Chu's foreign relatives is luxurious and noble, it is already at the cusp of the storm.
After the forces of Lai Ai and Lu Buwei were defeated one after another, King Qin Yingzheng's next target must be the lineage of Chu foreign relatives.
Now the king of Qin has become a general trend.
It is impossible to stop the stormy waves that Yingzheng is about to set off with the help of Chu foreign relatives alone.
The end result is nothing more than two.
One, resist desperately, and then the ship crashes and people die.
Two, take the initiative to surrender, people may survive, but at least half of the ships will be destroyed.
At this time, it is obviously not a wise choice to board the big ship of the Chu foreign relatives.
As for the remaining Meng family and Wang family, they are also representative forces of the old aristocrats, and their background is so deep that they are not much inferior to the former Lao Ai and Lu Buwei.
But because of the deep background, although the boat is big, there are not many vacant seats on it.
Now even if someone wants to join the Meng and Wang clans, others may not be willing to accept it.
The old forces will not work.
Then naturally only the new forces promoted after King Qin came to power this time are left.
The new forces also have three big ships.
One is Gai Nie.
As King Qin's chief guard and swordsmanship teacher, Gai Nie had already chosen to serve under Yingzheng when Yingzheng was still weak.
Although this ship is small, it has already docked on the shore. If you can take this ship, you will be able to protect yourself from any worries.
However, because Ge Nie's ship is too close to the land, it is inconvenient to protect others.
The second is a young man named "Li Si".
During this great purge, this young man who had been unknown in the court of the Qin Dynasty suddenly emerged and became a "classic guest" in charge of foreign affairs and national affairs.
It is the only new nobleman directly promoted to 'Jiuqing' above the imperial court.
Li Si's ship is still a bit rough, but people with discerning eyes can see that this ship has great potential in the future, so there are not a few people who choose to serve Li Si's disciples.
But by comparison.
Mo Jun's third big ship is the one most people want to board.
After all, his big ship is not only big enough and stable enough, but the most important thing is that there are many empty seats on the ship. If you take Mo Jun's ship at this time, you can not only survive the storm smoothly, but also bring the storm back, and even go further. .
So a few days after Mo Jun returned to the mansion.
In addition to sending congratulatory gifts.
Almost every day, there are at least dozens, even hundreds of people who want to serve under his command and become a disciple of the Mo family.
And Mo Jun didn't refuse, after all, the big ship under his feet was really too spacious now, and with the existing manpower of Mo Mansion, it was very difficult to even control the sailing of the ship.
However, he didn't have all of his income under his command. After all, Mr. Mo had just ascended to a high position, so it was fine to be a little high-profile, but if it was too high-profile, it would be death.
So it took half a month.
Mo Jun picked out about 30 disciples scatteredly, and planned to find an opportunity to insert them into various institutions of Qin State as his own power.
It happened that during this period of time Yingzheng was carrying out a major purge in Qin, and there would inevitably be a lot of vacancies at that time.
As for the loyalty of these temporarily accepted diners, Mo Jun never counted on it.
This is the characteristic of the 'recommendation system'. Anyone who is recommended by Mo Jun is born to belong to the "community of interests" with Mo Jun.It can be said that from the very beginning, the 'Guest System' and the 'Recommendation System' complement each other.
As for the real diehards.
Mo Jun plans to spend some time to cultivate it himself.
This is also the purpose of bringing back the [-] children from Nanjun. As long as these children rescued from the 'meat pool' are carefully cultivated, the possibility of loyalty problems is extremely low, and even if it is a 'snap', they are not It is possible to plant spies among these children.
Although Mo Jun doesn't need much loyalty now, it doesn't mean he won't need it in the future.
As his ship gets bigger and bigger in the future, the use of personal talents will be infinitely weakened, and loyalty will become more and more important at that time.
It is a bit similar to some large companies in later generations. Once a set of their own operating system is formed in the later stage, the company can continue to operate no matter who is missing.
It doesn't sound good.
Now Mo Jun has placed more than 30 retainers, if they do well in the future, they can continue to work.
But if some people have some ideas that they shouldn't have, then their current use is to temporarily occupy the 'pit', that's all.
······
Yingzheng's purge lasted throughout the winter.
The lineage of Chu foreign relatives represented by Mr. Changping still failed to survive this winter, and finally chose to surrender.
As for Lu Buwei's remaining forces, except for a small number of nobles and officials who served under Li Si's command in time, the rest of the disciples either surrendered to Yingzheng or were expelled and suppressed.
Coupled with the fact that the 'messenger' of Zheri died at the same time as the "leader" of Lu Buwei, for a while, Luo Wang also fell into a situation where the dragons had no leader and could only temporarily dormant.
With the melting of the first snow.
In a blink of an eye, it is another beginning of spring.
On the surface, Xianyang does not seem to be different from last year, it is still the same Xianyang.
However, internally, compared to last year, the power in Xianyang has taken on a completely new look.
Inside Zhangtai Palace.
Civil and military officials are lined up on both sides. Ying Zheng is wearing a black royal robe and a beaded crown on his head, sitting high on the throne.
Yingzheng, who has taken all the military and political power of Qin State into his hands, is now more and more powerful. Compared with the previous time when the four forces in the court were fighting, today's Yingzheng just sitting there has already made many officials subconsciously bow their heads. .
After a brief silence, only a majestic voice was slowly spit out from Ying Zheng's mouth:
"Mo Qing, how are you preparing for the spring planting?"
