Because the title of nobility was something that could be passed down from generation to generation!
Of course, he was overjoyed. Although he didn't feel much of a change in his heart, he still had to pretend.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Seeing that Guo Peng had accepted the imperial edict, Ying Zheng continued with deep affection,"
"My dear minister, you saved my life today. In the future, as long as I am alive, I will ensure that my dear minister will not have to worry.”
To be able to achieve what he had today, Ying Zheng was naturally very good at winning people's hearts. This sentence was beautifully said, and it was also very inspiring. Guo Peng was almost moved to tears.
First, he pretended to be grateful, then he pretended to be excited."This subject is a commoner, how can I be so valued by Your Majesty? I'll repay you with my loyalty!"
Ying Zheng laughed heartily." I've seen everything you've done for Great Qin. You deserve all of this!"”
" Your Majesty…" Guo Peng was moved to tears." I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. I will die ten thousand times to thank you!"”
The two actors were acting.
Oh my god, it was too mushy.
Finally, the court session was over. Guo Peng thanked the group of officials who came to pay their respects. He was still thinking about Gao Yue in the mansion, so he hurried to the Qin Palace to prepare medicine for Ying Zheng.
Every day, other officials would leave the court to deal with political affairs. He would leave the court to prepare the Five Stones Powder for Qin Shihuang and chat to relieve his boredom. Today was naturally no exception.
He did not notice it when he was in court earlier, but now, as he walked into the inner palace, Guo Peng found that the number of armored soldiers in Xianyang Palace had obviously increased overnight. At the same time, a group of guards had appeared around Ying Zheng without him noticing. They were only a dozen meters away from him, and there were even more guards further away, arranged in neat rows.
However, Guo Peng discovered that the weapons in the hands of these armored soldiers had turned into wood.
At first, Ying Zheng only wanted to add some soldiers to his side. But then, he changed his mind. What if some guards were bribed and tried to assassinate me? Wouldn't it be even more dangerous?
Therefore, he decisively changed their weapons to wood and issued an edict that in the future, only he could hold metal weapons in Xianyang Palace!
This way, perhaps he could rest easy!
Would the soldiers 'combat effectiveness be reduced after switching to wooden weapons?
Ying Zheng was not worried about this. The purpose of these armored soldiers was to stop the assassins. As long as the assassins could not kill him in a short period of time, it would be enough!
Wooden weapons might not be able to kill the assassin, but it would not hinder the assassin's movements!
"Your Majesty, you've really put in a lot of effort.”
Guo Peng had probably understood Ying Zheng's intention, but he remained silent in his heart.
You can't live that long!
You'll die in a few years at most. Is there any point in making yourself so tired?
Of course, even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't dare to tell you the truth.
He honestly handed over the Five Stones Powder for today.
"Your Majesty, this is the medicine for today."
When he raised his head to look at Qin Shihuang, Guo Peng suddenly noticed that Eunuch No. 1, who was standing beside Ying Zheng, had been replaced!
(I don't know what the Zhongche Prefecture Order is. I only know that Zhao Gao used to hold this official position. In the TV series, it seems that this position is the highest among the eunuchs? So I followed this. Don't ask, if you ask, you'll be in the world of TV dramas. You won't be able to find a girlfriend if you pay too much attention to the details.)
The original commander of the Zhongche Prefecture, who was also the one who had once fought to test the medicine, had sacrificed himself to block a blade for Ying Zheng yesterday. Unfortunately, he had died.
" Even longevity medicine can only delay aging." It was not a panacea.
When he saw the old eunuch, who had once taken the longevity medicine, die in such a miserable manner, Ying Zheng actually felt a little sad.
He couldn't help but ask himself if he would die like this in the future.
Although he would not age after taking the longevity medicine every day, there would definitely be assassins with ill intentions appearing in the long period of time. What if one of the assassins succeeded?
Just like this time, it was very dangerous.
Last night, Ying Zheng tossed and turned in bed, racking his brains and not sleeping at all.
In order to ensure his own life as much as possible, he had to strengthen the guards around him. On the other hand, he also needed more people like Guo Peng and the old eunuch who had sharp eyes and fast hands and were willing to sacrifice themselves.
This was also the reason why there were so many soldiers in Xianyang Palace.
At the same time, Guo Peng was able to receive such a generous reward and even a title of nobility. Other than his previous achievements and the good impression he left in front of the Qin Emperor, it was also because of this reason.
Not only Guo Peng, but even the old eunuch who had died received a generous reward. Not only did his family live a luxurious life, but he also received a posthumous title and was given a grand burial. A part of his body that had been stitched up by a brilliant doctor was left " intact " in this life.
To the eunuchs, this was the highest honor. Countless eunuchs in the palace were so excited that they couldn't control their emotions.
Everyone was bound to die. At this time, it was not far from the Qin Dynasty and the Warring States Period. The people of this era viewed life and death very lightly. To be able to obtain such honor, so what if they died?
In history, the 'scholars' of the Pre-Qin period would commit suicide out of shame for breaking their promises. In the future, Japan's attempt to commit suicide by harakiri paled in comparison.
One could imagine the people's attitudes towards life and death.
Therefore, Ying Zheng's methods were undoubtedly effective in this place, but no one knew how effective they would be when the time came.
"Your Majesty, I still have other matters to attend to in the residence.”
Because he was still thinking about Miss Gao Yue in the residence, Guo Peng asked to leave early.
" Go on," Ying Zheng said lazily." My dear minister, you should find a wife to take care of the household at your age."”
Guo Peng smiled shyly." I won't hide it from Your Majesty. Just a few days ago, this subject and Lord Li's daughter have just decided on a marriage. They will be married on an auspicious day."”
Naturally, it was impossible to hide such a thing, and Guo Peng did not believe that Ying Zheng would not know about it.
Besides, he and Li Si were originally on the same side, so he did not need to worry about Ying Zheng's suspicion.
"Haha, is that so? When the time comes, Zhen will definitely send a congratulatory gift.”Ying Zheng laughed out loud. Just as Guo Peng had thought, he did not harbor any suspicions.
"In that case, this subject will thank Your Majesty in advance.”
Guo Peng pretended to be a little embarrassed and then respectfully took his leave.
Before he left, he looked at the new Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate standing behind the Qin Emperor.
He saw Guo Peng looking at him.
The eunuch of the Zhongche Manor mischievously blinked his eyes.
The air was filled with a thick aura…Cough.
That's right, the new Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate was an old acquaintance of Guo Peng. He was the one who had formed a good relationship with Guo Peng in the past.
At this moment, the eunuch was also very grateful to Guo Peng.
Because if it weren't for this Guo, his senior wouldn't have had the chance to block the saber, and he wouldn't have been able to rise to the top.
In short, I am now very familiar with the eunuch of the Zhongche Mansion.
In addition, she was also very close to Li Si…
Guo Peng suddenly realized that even if he didn't have a high profile now, it wouldn't be difficult for him to tamper with the photo after planning in a specific environment!
However, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would never take such a risk.
This was because this old eunuch might not be of the same heart as him. If he was loyal to Qin Shihuang, it would be troublesome.
Moreover, a treacherous official like Zhao Gao was destined to have a miserable ending.
Thinking back to Zhao Gao in history, on one hand, he had offended the nobles in the Guanzhong region, and on the other hand, the vassals outside the Guanzhong region also wanted to get rid of him.
He had already offended two forces in the world, so how could he not die?
