Chapter 255: Worship the General

"I?" Hearing this title, Ying Zheng was a little curious, "What do you mean?"

Wei Yu got up and said: "Your Majesty, 'I' is me, the king is already the co-lord of the world, and his status is different from us or the pawns of the world's peddlers, so his title is naturally different. "Shuowen", "Erya" are recorded, this word is the same as me. Therefore, the minister thought that the word "I" was suitable for the king's name for himself, and he did not need to call himself a widow. ”

Ying Zheng nodded, this title was quite in line with his heart, but these people in front of him still didn't understand their thoughts. "Everyone, you are widowed. Oh no, I mean to let you discuss my name. Back then, my great-ancestor and the King of Qi were called the two emperors of the East and the West, although this matter was not settled later, but in my eyes today, there is nothing more than this emperor character to set off my identity. ”

Yingzheng's great-grandfather Zhaoxiang Wang led the Qin army to destroy Zhou Wangji, and he wanted to replace Zhou Tianzi, but the Qin State at that time did not have the ability to join forces with the Six Kingdoms, so King Zhaoxiang won over the king of Qi to jointly claim the emperor, that is, the two emperors of the east and west, the king of Qin was the west emperor, and the king of Qi was the east emperor. It's just that this matter found the opposition of all the princes in the world, and King Qi did not have the strength to compete with the countries, so he canceled his emperor title, leaving King Zhaoxiang himself.

And if all the princes have been wiped out by the Qin State today, if Yingzheng wants to be the emperor, absolutely no one in the world will dare to jump out and oppose it. Ying Zheng was quite dissatisfied with the honorific title of "Emperor of Thailand" that Li Si said, because he wanted a supreme title that no one had ever come before or since.

Meng Yi stood up and said to Ying Zheng: "The king's achievements today, it is a matter of course to be called the emperor. The emperor originally meant light, and later became the meaning of heaven and god. Since the ancient Three Emperors Fuxi, Suiren and Shennong, they are still mortals after all. "Emperor" is not the case, the gods in the sky mostly take the word emperor as the name, and say, "Dehe Heaven is called the emperor", which means that the cultivation of virtue can only become the "emperor" when he wants to make peace with heaven and earth. The king's deeds are unprecedented, and his virtue is high in the sky, so he should be called the emperor. ”

After listening to Meng Yi's words, Ying Zheng suddenly had an inspiration, and he said to everyone: "There were three emperors and five emperors in ancient times, but the territory under their jurisdiction is only one or two of my today's territory. When I am unified today, I have three emperors and five emperors, and I have decided to give myself the title of 'Emperor'. ”

As soon as Ying Zheng's words were finished, the sky on the palace hall suddenly changed, and the originally clear sky was suddenly cloudy. In the clouds, there was a dazzling flash of thunder, and from the sky there was a deafening sound of thunder. If there were people who were hearing well at this time, they might still be able to hear the faint cry and anger coming from the dark clouds.

The black clouds pressed on the top, shrouding the sky over the entire Xianyang City, which was originally daytime, but now it was no different from night. The common people and merchants who laughed and bought and sold in the streets fled to their homes, closed their gates, and some elderly people knelt in the courtyard and prayed to the heavens.

Although the candles in the main hall are lit every time, such a big movement from the outside world naturally spreads to the hall. Ying Zheng suddenly darkened when he saw the hall, and ordered Zhao Gao to go out to see what was going on.

Zhao Gao went out and came in again, and told Yingzheng about the weather changes outside.

"How could it suddenly change the sky? Does this indicate something?" Not only Yingzheng, but also Li Si and Meng Tian and others were thinking at the same time.

Yunmengze Ghost Valley Sect, Wang Chan is meditating in the thatched hut. Suddenly, he seemed to have something in his heart, he opened his eyes, and the fingers of his right hand kept pinching in the palm of his hand, as if he was deducing the heavens.

"Today's vision from the sky seems to be something unprecedented in the world!" Wang Chan muttered to himself in the hut. "The celestial phenomenon landed in the west, is it in Xianyang City? It seems that Yingzheng is really going to take the road of the God King, but in this way, he will consume the qi handed down by several generations of the previous kings of the Qin State. "Nine peaches

Wang Chan was talking to himself in the house, but the two disciples guarding the door of the hut did not seem to hear anything, and continued to doze off at the door.

A vision fell from the sky, and black clouds covered Xianyang City for a whole day and night, and on the morning of the second day, the clouds dispersed and the sky cleared, as if nothing had happened.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived. Zhao Gao shouted loudly as he stood next to the throne in the court of the Qin State. Soon after he finished shouting, King Yingzheng of Qin, dressed in a plain black crown and wearing an imperial crown, stepped onto the throne.

"Meet His Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live, long live!" After Ying Zheng sat down, Li Si took the lead, and all the courtiers in the court knelt on the ground and bowed to Ying Zheng to worship the mountain.

Ying Zheng waved his hand, "Zhongqing is flat." ”

Today, almost all the ministers are above the court, and there are nearly more than 100 people in the entire Zhangtai Palace, which is almost the number of all officials in Xianyang. Everyone was in high spirits, dressed in official uniforms, standing in the queue, and everyone's eyes were focused on the high Ying Zheng.

"Dear Aiqing, I look at the records of the past, after the king dies, the enthroned king and the ministers must give the first king a nickname, so that the future kings will talk about the previous king, and the courtiers will talk about the king. Start with me today and abolish the king's name. From this day on, I will be called Qin Shi Huang, my son, my grandson, the second emperor, the third emperor, until eternity, and my throne will be passed down endlessly. ”

"Your Majesty. ”

"I am the emperor today, and I should give amnesty to the world and reward the three armies, and at the same time, I feel that there are many disadvantages in the current court. After thinking about it, I discussed with the prime ministers on the left and right, and decided to reassign the official positions of my Great Qin, and the specific matters, Zhao Gao, and Xuan Zhen's will. ”

Zhao Gao bowed to Yingzheng, then faced all the ministers in the court, took a roll of somewhat heavy bamboo slips from the hand of an inner eunuch behind him, opened it, and read aloud: "His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin said: Since the founding of the first king, my Qin State has inherited the Zhou ceremony, followed the morality, and knows the world. However, above the court, everything is complicated, and all the secretaries deal with it with their own responsibilities, and there are too many powers. Li Si, the left prime minister, perseverance, and the assistant I have a way, today I am dismissed from the position of the left and right prime ministers, Li Si is my prime minister of Daqin, the right prime minister Wang Juan is the captain, and Meng Yi is the imperial doctor, the three are of the same level, all of them are my left and right hand, and they are the three dukes. Under the three dukes, there are nine qing, Wei Yu is appointed as Fengchang, Jia Jia is appointed as the lieutenant of Lang, and Zhang Han, the commander of the forbidden army, is appointed as the guard captain,......"

The first edict after the first emperor became emperor was very long, and every time Zhao Gao pronounced a name, a person came out of the line and knelt on the ground. After he finished reading the edict, nine out of ten of the ministers in the court knelt on the ground, and only a few people were still standing in place, many of them were civil officials, and only Meng Tian was the only one left among the generals.

After Zhao Gao finished reading, everyone stood up from the ground. Ying Zheng's edict said that it was a division of everyone, but it was better to carefully divide the rights above the court of the Qin State, and everyone and every official position had their own exclusive rights. Previously, the Qin State had always been a left-right prime minister, and because of LΓΌ Buwei's strength during the dynasty, Wang Juan's sense of existence was not strong. After LΓΌ Buwei resigned and went into hiding, Wang Juan and Li Si were in charge of Qin's affairs, and then submitted important matters to Qin Wang Yingzheng. Now Prime Minister Li Si is in charge of all affairs, although the status of the Taiwei Wang Juan is equal to the prime minister, but the specific affairs he is responsible for are much less, but Wang Juan is old, and this move does not mean to be merciful.

"Now I still have one more thing to say, as we all know, the old general Wang Jian has resigned his official position and handsome seal from the widow, so now I have decided to hand over all his positions to the person I trust the most, and that person is Meng Tian. ”

As soon as these words came out, except for Li Si and a few other people who were familiar with the reason, they were very calm, and the rest of the ministers were in an uproar. Meng Yi is a doctor of the same rank as the prime minister, and all the ministers have no objections, after all, Meng Yi has been by Yingzheng's side for twenty years, and there is no merit and hard work. But Meng Tian actually became the commander of the Qin State, that is, the entire world, in this way, the four people with the heaviest authority under His Majesty the Emperor, the Meng family accounted for half, this glory is not small.
