Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

  Chapter 256 Yao Jia

   "Sister is really lucky!"

  In the room where Yao Meiren was resting, Mrs. Zheng, who had just arrived, picked up a baby and teased it for a while, then looked at Yao Mei who was lying on the bed. Although she had just given birth not long ago, she looked quite good.

   "The older sister is the lucky one, the younger sister is just lucky."

  Yao Meiren looked at the sixth princess who was held by Mrs. Zheng, and said with a smile.

   "That sister's luck is really enviable to others."

   Madam Zheng continued to speak while teasing the baby in her arms. After a while, the baby smiled at Madam Zheng. Seeing this, Madam Zheng couldn't help but also burst out laughing.

  Yao Meiren looked at the scene in front of her with a smile, and the atmosphere in the whole room seemed extremely harmonious.

  If someone sees this scene, they will definitely think that Mrs. Zheng and Yao Meiren have a very good relationship, and even the two of them look like a family at this moment.

  However, the reality is that it was unclear whether the relationship between the two was good before, but from today onwards, the relationship between the two is bound to be very close.

the reason is simple.

  Because Yao Meiren is about to become the mother-in-law of his son's teacher's wife.

  With this relationship, the relationship between Mrs. Zheng and Yao Meiren will inevitably become closer in the future.

certainly.

   More importantly, Yao Meiren gave birth to a daughter this time.

   While Mrs. Zheng was talking with Yao Meiren, some guests came to Yao Meiren's residence one after another, but none of them attracted their attention.

   Until a certain moment.

  A shout that obviously raised the tone sounded, instantly making the atmosphere of the whole mansion quiet.

   "Mr. Shengping has arrived."

  Hearing the voice from outside the door, Mrs. Zheng in the room paused for a moment, then looked at Meiren Yao and laughed, "Your son-in-law is here."

   In response, Yao Meiren responded with a smile, but did not deny it.

  ······

  In front of the main entrance.

When the servant outside the door reported Mo Jun's name, Manager Qian ran out at a speed of sprinting almost 100 meters. As the butler of Yao Meiren's house, Manager Qian certainly knew who was the real one at today's banquet. The 'protagonist'.

   "Slave see Lord Shengping."

  Boss Qian was humble, bowed and saluted with a flattering smile on his face.

   "Boss Qian is very polite."

  Mr. Mo nodded gently, and then motioned to Hei Yu behind him to take out the gift.

   And just as Director Qian reached out to accept the gift, before he could say anything, a figure came out of the mansion in a hurry.

   "The next official pays homage to Mr. Mo."

   "Master Yao, why are you... is it Yao Meiren?"

  Seeing the person coming, Mo Jun was startled for a moment, then seemed to remember something, and couldn't help asking.

   "It is the sister of the lower official."

   "So that's how it is. If you have time in the future, you can come to Hanzhong as a guest. I will sweep the couch to welcome you."

   "Mr. Shengping invited me, and the next official will definitely attend the appointment."

  Hearing this, the visitor spoke a little excitedly.

  The person who appeared in front of Mo Jun at this time was named "Yao Jia", an official worshiper, and one of the nine ministers.

  Yao Jia, like Li Si, was one of the members of Yingzheng who had been attached to Yingzheng when it was still weak, so when Yingzheng came to power, he immediately promoted Yao Jia to be a county magistrate.

   And when he finished his training in the local area, he was directly transferred back to Xianyang by Ying Zheng. After Li Si was promoted to Ting Wei, he took over the position of 'Dian Ke' and became one of the nine ministers.

  Although they are both Jiuqing, Yao Jia's situation is not as comfortable as Li Si's.

  Although Li Si came from a bad background, he used to work under Lu Buwei, so when Yingzheng carried out a major purge after Lu Buwei's downfall, Li Si took the opportunity to gather a lot of Lu Buwei's old forces and directly gained a firm foothold in the court.

   But Yao Jia was not as lucky as Li Si.

  Yao Jia was born in the Kingdom of Wei, and he was the "School of the World Supervisor". His father was a guard guarding the gate of the city. It can be said that he has no background at all.

  Yao Jia used to be an official in the State of Zhao. When Mr. Mo was still serving in Nanjun, the State of Zhao wanted to unite Chu, Han, and Wei to attack Qin, and the envoy sent by the State of Zhao was Yao Jia.

  But Yao Jia failed in the end, because during his mission, Yingzheng sent people to win him over, so Yao Jia chose to submit to Qin, and the Allied Forces of the Four Nations were shattered.

  Judging from this experience alone, Yao Jia is undoubtedly a perfidious 'villain'.

   In fact, it is true.

  In the official history.

  When Han Fei was sent as an envoy to Qin State, he angrily scolded Yao Jia as "the son of the Shijian, the great thief of Liang, and the expulsion of Zhao's ministers".

  So after the incident, Yao Jia joined forces with Li Si to spread slander in front of Ying Zheng, which caused Ying Zheng to order Han Fei to be imprisoned. Afterwards, Li Si sent poison to Han Fei, causing Han Fei to commit suicide and die.

  However, Mr. Mo is not clear about this part of the record, because his memory only has the memory of the "Qin Shi" plot, and he doesn't know much about the Qin State in the official history.

  What's more, both the official history and the plot have already been changed by Mo Jun.

  In the original plot.

Now Yao Jia was supposed to be envoys to the four countries of Chu, Yan, Zhao, and Yue. According to the normal historical trajectory, Qin State could not fight against Zhao and Wei at the same time. Therefore, during the war with Wei State, in order to prevent the other four countries from Taking the opportunity to sneak attack, he sent Yao Jia to deal with the four countries.

  In the official history, Yao Jia finally successfully completed the task. After returning to China, because of his great achievements, he was officially worshiped as a minister, and he became a success.

   But now, as the national power of Qin State becomes stronger and stronger, it can almost push the six countries evenly with the power of one country. Under such circumstances, even if Yao Jia does the same thing according to the official history, the credit he will get will be greatly weakened.

   And because of this.

  Although Yao Jia is a "Dianke" today, he does not have much power in his hands.

  However, in a sense, it may be because Yao Jia does not have much real power in his hands that Ying Zheng betrothed the princess born to his sister to Mo Jun.

   After all, if you think about it carefully, you will find out.

  Yao Meiren's baby girl is the sixth princess. Although most of the first five princesses have been betrothed to others by Ying Zheng, one princess is still unmarried.

  But Yingzheng did not betroth the princess to Mo Jun, but instead ordered that among the next pregnant Hu Meiren and Yao Meiren, whoever can give birth to a daughter first can marry Mo Jun.

  Why did Ying Zheng want to do this seemingly unnecessary behavior.

  The reason is because the mother of the princess who has not yet been betrothed is from the Meng family.

  If that princess were to marry Mo Jun, it would be almost equivalent to marrying the head of Qin State's civil and military affairs, unless Ying Zheng was crazy, he would do such a thing.

compare to.

  Meiren Hu and Meiren Yao, who are pregnant this time, don't have any strong background or backing behind them, so no matter which one of them is married to Mo Jun, it is within Yingzheng's acceptance.
