Late at night, in Xianyang Palace

Since bamboo slips were replaced by paper, the efficiency of handling government affairs has been greatly improved, but Ying Zheng's working hours have not been changed as a result. He still strictly demanded himself, just like a workaholic.

A figure suddenly appeared outside the palace, and Gai Nie instantly stood in front of Ying Zheng with his sword. He looked at it intently, closed the slightly opened sword sheath gently, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, it's Zhang Han."

Ying Zheng did not put down the book and responded casually, "Well, let him in."

Zhang Han walked in and saluted, "Welcome to the king."

"It's very late, what's the matter?"

"King, there are a few things happening in the National Master's Mansion today. I think I should report it to the King."

Ying Zheng put down the book in his hand and looked at it, "National Master?"

Zhang Han first said the first thing, "Dianqing of the remaining soldiers of Wei State, Mei Sanniang visited the National Army Mansion. In addition, there is news in the county that the remaining soldiers of Han and Wei are preparing to join the army and make contributions in order to become a good citizen of Qin in the future."

"Dian Qing, are the two men of Mei Sanniang the leaders of Han Wei's remnants?"

"It is. Among them, Dian Qing was the general of Wei Wuzhang. He once overturned thirteen chariots on the Puyang battlefield with his own strength, resulting in General Duanhe being defeated by Lian Po for a while; Mei Sanniang was Dian Qing's junior sister, who had restrained General Wang Ben on the Puyang battlefield."

Ying Zheng nodded with relief, "Good thing, these two people are very capable, and now they are willing to serve my Great Qin. What's more, the remaining soldiers of Han and Wei are our compatriots who killed their compatriots and invaded their homeland. They are now willing to live here, even fight, and the people of our Great Qin have just gained their hearts."

"Now the number of Confucian disciples who came to Qin State to join the government has increased dramatically, but only two or three of them qualified are among the hundreds. The rest of them criticized the state of Qin State and even besieged the National Master's Mansion."

After hearing Zhang Han say this, Ying Zheng was no longer happy. He closed his narrow eyes slightly and said, "What a courage! These Confucian disciples think that the national teacher is from Confucianism, can they do things arbitrarily? How did the national teacher deal with it?"

Zhang Han then explained the bloody conflict between Ju Shuang and the scholar in full.

"The subordinates specially found the examination papers and evaluation standards for the government's selection of scholars, as well as the answers of some scholars. Please check it out."

Zhao Gao ran over and took the file from him and presented it to the Qin King's case.

Ying Zheng casually said while flipping through it: "You are a little targeting the national teacher~"

Zhang Han was shocked and lowered his head and explained: "It was not Zhang Han who intended to target him, but he felt that only one or two out of the hundred people were allowed. The admission rate was really low. The national teacher's move caused a bad reputation for my Great Qin, and he was puzzled."

"Wow~"

Ying Zheng suddenly threw the file in his hand aside and snorted coldly, "Hmph~ It's right for the national teacher to not allow these corrupt scholars to join Qin to become officials. You are responsible for supervising all officials, and you are my eyes. Don't monitor with a doubtful attitude. I am not so suspicious. You can go down."

"Zhang Han retired."

When Zhang Han left the palace, Ying Zheng smiled and teased, "This Zhang Han is so thoughtful."

Gai Nie said: "Isn't this the reason why the king used him as the leader of the Shadow Secret Guard."

"Yes, that's true. Mr. Gai, I heard that Luowang has been rectified by the national teacher now, is it very different from before?"

"Yes, it's been a long time since there has been no infamous reputation in the world."

"Even the net can become less dark. Without the national teacher, I really don't know how to win the hearts of the people in this world."

When Gai Nie heard Ying Zheng's words, his eyes flashed and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The poison of power seems to have begun to work on this special relationship between the monarch and the minister.

There are many records about Lu Yan in Ying Miwei's file.

Dian Wei, who is from unknown origin, is a servant of Lu Yan, a master of the Dacheng realm, has a straightforward and reckless personality, and is now the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard Commander Ying Jue;

Su Lie, whose origin is unknown, seems to be Lu Yan's servant, but his relationship is relatively ordinary, a master of Dacheng Realm, both wise and brave, is now the deputy of Meng Tian, ​​the general of the Golden Fire Cavalry;

Li Teng, a Korean, is said to have something to do with Lu Yan but has no empirical evidence. He is familiar with the art of war and has average force. He is now the Lishan Camp Ren Qianchang;

Li Si, a native of Chu, was a senior brother of Lu Yan, and had quite an opposing political philosophy but often had a tacit understanding. He is now the court lieutenant of one of the nine ministers;

Gongsun Ren, a native of Zhao, was a famous contemporary master. He had a personal relationship with Lu Yan. He once gave him ten carts of books, but he had little contact afterwards and was now a guest minister of Qin;

At first glance, it seems that Lu Yan's power is quite powerful. There are actually many people scattered everywhere, but in fact nothing is considered.

The Qin royal family, the Meng family, the Wang family, Li Si, and Gongsun Ren were actually impossible to form an interest group around Lu Yan, and Lu Yan would not use this method to influence the government.

As long as there are no interest groups around him and he is still an isolated minister of the King of Qin, then Ying Zheng can trust him with confidence.

However, as Lu Yan's personal reputation gradually grew, and these violent Confucian disciples came to Qin to join in the fun, it seemed that there was a sign that Lu Yan would become a political force.

And the most important point is that Lu Yan's "national teacher" is about to be really deserved. A few years later, officials from all over the Qin State were taught by Lu Yan's school. This is a natural collective of interests.

Although Gai Nie admired Ying Zheng and Lu Yan each, he was really afraid that this prosperous Qin State would have a crisis of trust between the monarch and his subjects at this moment.

At this time, Zhao Gao whispered: "Master, the time is here."

"Yes." Ying Zheng stood up and stretched his body twice, and then prepared to go to rest.

Gai Nie gradually disappeared into the darkness.

...

Net Headquarters

Lu Yan organized Ehuang into a small team and prepared to send him out to protect Gushuang in secret.

Most of the Luowangs are newcomers trained after Lu Yan took over. Between fifteen and twenty years old, strict training is by no means inhumane.

The two instructors, Fang and Mo Ya, the former were powerful people from the Great Continent who had once fought from the world, while the latter had rich experience in treating these people trained in the dark.

Luowang's former sword slave system was also abolished and was changed to the sword master. Of course, internal competition must still be retained, but it is not the cruel competition of raising a Gu.

The current great masters are:

Jingyu Sword Master, Song Bai (Xiaoyaozi)

True Gang Sword Master, Brown Zhe (Tian Meng)

Master of Broken Water Sword,

Lord of the Chaos Sword,

All four of them have the first-class character for the word "天".

There are still a few more characters left with the word "kill" and their strength is not enough. Naturally, they cannot give famous swords of the level of the Yue Tortoise Sword, otherwise there will be no distinction between them and the above characters "Tian".

Compared with five years ago, personnel at all levels have undergone major changes, mainly because of the battle with the Iron Blood Alliance. Through this battle, Lu Yan replaced most of the Luowang personnel with unknown loyalty with newcomers he re-trained after taking over, and also severely attacked the prestige of the Iron Blood Alliance force, killing two birds with one stone.

"Zhuo, now I have a task to hand over to you."

When Tian Meng heard Lu Yan calling him, he felt happy. He realized that among the four people who were the best in the word "Tian" name, Lu Yan trusted the most. In the past few years, only he had the most tasks and made the most contributions.

"Sir, please tell me."

"There are strangers among the foreign scholars who came to Qin these days. You lurk among them to find out who is doing it."

Tian Meng was stunned and hesitated: "Ah? This kind of task..."

Lu Yan said naturally: "Well? You have a good knowledge, of course it is the most suitable for you to go. I'm not at ease to let others go."

"Sir, I promise to complete the task."
