On the morning of the first day of October in the twenty-seventh year of King Qin. The king of Qin led the children of the royal family, civil and military officials to the Son of Heaven to sacrifice to the temple first, and then to the heaven and earth, officially called the emperor, changed the year name to the twenty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang.

In the afternoon, the large square outside the palace was 600 steps square, and the surrounding area was already crowded with people. At the gate of the palace, the twelve golden people are separated on both sides. The twelve gold men are five zhang high, weigh a thousand stones (about 90 tons), and are cast by the soldiers of the world, which is very spectacular. Opposite the golden man, build a little general platform, three zhang high, can overlook the whole big square.

In the center of the square, 20,000 Qin army warriors, with bright armor and bright swords, are divided into nine large army formations, namely: 36 chariot formations, cavalry phalanxes, heavy infantry formations, shield formations, Changmao formations, archery formations, heavy sword formations, light soldier formations, and crossbow formations.

Dozens of palace maids and eunuchs surrounded a gorgeous six-horse dragon chariot, slowly driving from the palace gate, the horse is one in a million Yinshan BMW, not only the same age, but also almost the same body shape. The dragon chariot is made of high-quality pure copper, with a lower carriage and an umbrella cover woven of circular copper wire, and countless pearls and jewels inlaid on the body.

Behind the dragon chariot, more than 300 officials with the title of right-hand guard and above, dressed in brand-new official uniforms, followed closely behind.

"Long live Great Qin! Long live King Qin! Hooray! Twenty thousand soldiers chanted in unison, and the sound resounded through the clouds.

Qin Shi Huang wore a crown of heaven and a black embroidered gold dragon robe, and his figure was majestic and tall. He got out of the carriage, stepped on the thick red carpet, and slowly climbed onto the podium. At this time, on the square, 20,000 Qin soldiers sang "Singing the Motherland" loudly:

The black flag fluttered in the wind, and how loud the victory song was.

Sing about our dear motherland, from now on to prosperity and strength.

Over the mountains, over the plains, across the surging Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

The vast and beautiful land is our dear hometown.

The heroic people have stood up! We are united and fraternal, strong as steel......

The sonorous melody and majestic singing immediately conquered all the people present. Both officials, ordinary people, businessmen, and pawns all stopped at this moment, stopped talking, raised their heads, puffed up their chests, immersed themselves in the melody of this song, and yearned for this vigorous Great Qin Empire.

After the chorus was finished, the surrounding civilians were enthusiastic, and they all shouted: "Long live Daqin!" Long live the First Emperor! "The cry shook the earth.

The ministers were so strange, because in the process of the founding ceremony, there was no link for the people to shout slogans. This is a call from the hearts of the people.

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Shi Huang waved his hands at him, and the surroundings slowly fell silent. Qin Shi Huang said loudly: "I drove the Xiongnu, destroyed the Six Kingdoms, determined the Western Regions, conquered Baiyue, and unified Kyushu." Build the Great Wall, open the Ling Canal, and build Chi Road to shake the dragon vein of Kyushu. Defend my Daqin, protect my society. In the name of the first emperor, I hereby swear that I am here, I should defend the territory and open up the territory, sweep away the four razes, and set the foundation of my Great Qin for all generations. I will die, but also incarnate the dragon soul, bless me Huaxia will never fade, this oath, the sun and the moon as evidence, heaven and earth together. ”

"Long live Great Qin! Long live the First Emperor! The people and soldiers around them shouted in unison.

Next, it was the imperial historian Feng Qujian who spoke on behalf of the old prime minister Wang Xuan: "The new decree of the Great Qin Empire.

1. From now on, all the books in the original Seven Kingdoms will be collected and sent to Xianyang to be sorted out and collected by the Prime Minister's Office.

2. From now on, the whole world will unify the degree, measurement, and weight. It is forbidden to prohibit the old six kingdoms, measurements, and weights, and those who have not changed within the time limit are guilty.

3. From now on, the length of the track will be unified, and all old rail vehicles will be banned. ”

"Long live Great Qin! Long live Qin Fa! As soon as Feng Quji's words fell, the square was full of loud cheers again.

……

The next morning, the Xianyang Imperial Palace was decorated with lights, and in the main hall, the civil and military ministers finally waited for the most memorable day - Qin Shi Huang rewarded the meritorious heroes. Everyone couldn't help but be excited, and they discussed what kind of reward they could get from the emperor.

"The Emperor has arrived!" As the eunuch shouted, all the ministers stood up straight and bowed to the back of the hall.

Four palace maids in front of the lantern, Qin Shi Huang wore a balance crown and wore a dragon robe in the middle, the four palace maids followed closely by two palace maids pulling a long dragon robe, and the two palm fan palace maids each held a big black and red fan, and slowly walked into the main hall.

Qin Shi Huang paced up the six steps and sat firmly on the dragon chair before waving his hand and saying, "No courtesy!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Only then did the ministers straighten up.

The courtesies of monarchs and ministers in this era are far less cumbersome than those of later generations, and there is no rule of kneeling and kowtowing at every turn.

Qin Shi Huang glanced at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and said: "Great Qin has today, and it is not the work of me alone. It is the countless former kings, former ministers and Aiqing who have worked hard and fought the battlefield to have today's unified world. Today, we should not only reward all the heroes, but also reward the heroes of the previous dynasties. Long history, read the edict! ”

Changshi Feng Zai took out a holy decree and read it aloud: "It is said that Shang Jun, Sima Cuo, Zhang Yi, Bai Qi and other four famous ministers of the pre-Qin Dynasty have made immortal contributions to the Great Qin Empire, and they have been posthumously given to the Taimiao, and the Zhongliang Temple has been built in their hometown, and the official government has sacrificed at four times. Chin this! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers responded in unison.

Zhao Gao took out another holy decree and read it aloud: "The system said, Feng Wang Juan is a liehou, ten thousand households in the food town, and the number is Wen Chenghou; Feng Wang Jian is a liehou, with ten thousand households in the food district, and he is called the Marquis of Wucheng; Feng Wang Ben is a liehou, with 7,000 households in the food district, and the number is Tongwu Hou; Feng Mengtian is a liehou, with 7,000 households, and is called Anbei Hou; sealed Montenegro as a liehou, with 7,000 households, called Annan Hou; Feng Mengyi is the liehou, with 5,000 households in the food town, and the marquis of Mengshan; Feng Feng went to the disease as a liehou, with 5,000 households in the food town, and the marquis of Wenting; Feng Li Si is a liehou, with 5,000 households in the food estate, and the number is Wentonghou; Feng Zhengguo is a liehou, with 3,000 households in the food district, and the marquis of the river; Feng Mengwu is a liehou, with 3,000 households and a marquis of Chang; Feng Li Xin is a liehou, with 3,000 households, and the number is Chenghou; Feng Tengyue was a liehou, with 3,000 households, and was called the Marquis of Nanyang;

Feng Zai, Bai Zhong, Yan Han, Yao Jia, Dun Weak, and Ying Ben were the marquis of Guannei.

Feng Mengzhao, Xin Sheng, and Yang Duanhe were the chiefs.

The chief of the chief and below will be rewarded by the Prime Minister's Office and the International Government. Chin this! ”

As Zhao Gao read the name, the palace maids sent the high mountain crowns and jade seals symbolizing the titles of liehou, guannei marquis, and the eldest lord to the ministers who were entitled, and replaced them for everyone on the spot.

Zhao Gao read the edict, and all the ministers shouted in unison: "Long live Great Qin!" Long live the First Emperor! ”

At the same time, twelve liehous, six Guannei marquis, and three grand marquis were sealed, which was the first time in more than 800 years since King Wu of Zhou divided the world.

The liehou was the highest twentieth rank in Great Qin, and enjoyed a certain amount of taxes paid by the people of the fief; The Marquis of Guannai is a nineteenth-level knighthood and has no fief.

The ministers were congratulating each other, and the hall was full of laughter. The old prime minister Wang Juan had a serious face, and said loudly in that old voice: "The old minister Wang Juan has a book to play the emperor." ”

The noisy hall immediately fell silent, and everyone regained their positions and looked at the prime minister.

"Old Prime Minister, what's the matter?" Qin Shi Huang asked.

"Among the eighteen liehous and Guannei marquis, there are Wang Qian, Wang Ben, Meng Wu, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Feng Quji, Feng Zheng and other father and son brothers. Except for the old Yingben of the Marquis of Guannei, there are no children surnamed Ying, princes and grandsons to be entitled. The Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, how can his descendants be horsemen? If the royal family is prosperous, the country will be prosperous, please ask the emperor to select a virtuous prince and the royal family to be canonized as a marquis, in order to secure the community! Prime Minister Wang Juan said awe-inspiringly.

When everyone heard this, it suddenly dawned on them. Among the twelve lieges and sixty internal marquis, except for Yingben, there is no clan with the surname Ying, except for Baishan, Xinsheng, and Yanhan, who are natives of the old Qin, the rest are all people from the old six countries of Shandong who have not entered Qin for three or four generations or have just entered Qin. This situation has never been seen since the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods. King Wu of Zhou divided 800 vassal states, and the surname Ji accounted for more than 500. So the ministers said one after another: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

Qin Shi Huang said: "Great Qin was originally a small country in the west, since the Shang Emperor changed the law, the common people can be valued for merit, and the nobles can also be cheap because of merit. Since then, the six generations of ancestors have been hegemonic because of their observance of the law, until I unified the world. If you don't succeed and crown the prince and the prince, it is tantamount to abolishing the law. Within three generations, the royal family will be weak, and the country will be in danger! ”

When the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other and could not answer.

Prime Minister Wang Juan played again: "Today, the next unification, the world is decided." Most of the princes are adults, and the emperor should be the prince early, one is to share the emperor's worries, and the other is familiar with government affairs to calm the world! Think twice! ”

The first part is just a temptation of the prime minister, and this one is the real chapter. The territory of Daqin is more than twice as large as that of the Zhou Dynasty, and all of them are county systems, and large and small affairs must be handled through the Prime Minister's Mansion and the emperor. Wang Juan saw very clearly, how much he hoped that the Great Qin Empire, which he had worked hard for more than 30 years, could truly be passed on to eternity. However, since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been countless farces of the prince's father vying for power, and the establishment of the prince has been a taboo for the king in his prime. If it weren't for the need to be sent to other countries as hostages, very few would have made princes. Now, the first emperor is in his prime, and it is indeed not a good time to propose the establishment of a crown prince at this time. However, Qin Shi Huang has not held a big wedding so far, and he has never been canonized as the queen. As a result, there were few ministers who seconded the motion.

The First Emperor thought for a moment and said: "The establishment of the crown prince is a major event of the country, and all the princes lack experience, and there is no outstanding one, so it is not too late to discuss it after more experience and experience in the future." ”

The First Emperor rejected the old prime minister's two concerts in a row, and the atmosphere in the hall became a little tense, and it was so quiet that it could be heard all of a sudden.

At this time, a minister stood up and said: "The emperor is now the Son of Heaven, and he is still courteous, and the current palace, mausoleum and temple have not yet reached the regulations of the Son of Heaven." The minister suggested that the emperor should re-plan the Lishan mausoleum and rebuild the palace and temple, so as to demonstrate the majesty of the Son of Heaven who is the co-lord of the world. ”

At this time, Qin Shi Huang, he defeated one opponent after another, and there was no opponent in the land of China. Now he has to think about how to build his family into a richer, stronger and more beautiful.

The First Emperor listened to Qin Tianjian's words, which was exactly what he wanted, so he issued an order: "Yes! The Prime Minister's Mansion and the Shaofu immediately began to rebuild the palace, the Taimiao, and the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum. ”

Wang Juan wanted to persuade two more sentences, but seeing that the first emperor had agreed, he had to give up, took out a book from his arms, handed it over with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is now like a rotten wood, deaf and dazzling, I hope that Your Majesty Xu Chen will return to his hometown, and in his lifetime, he will take a look at the land of his hometown!" ”

Although it had long been rumored that the prime minister was going to return to his hometown, at this time, the officials heard it, and they were really surprised, and the hall suddenly quieted down.

The First Emperor was even more surprised when he heard this, and was about to get up to pick it up in person, but he was wearing a new-style dragon robe that was long and wide, and he was very unaccustomed to it. Zhao Gao hurriedly presented the book. ”

Zhao Gao stepped forward quickly, solemnly took the fold with both hands, and went up the steps from the side to present it to the First Emperor.

The First Emperor unfolded it, only to see Qin Fold written:

"Letter of Resignation"

The minister is a cloth cloth, and he has a fame, but he was fortunate to be recommended by Lu Xiang to the first king. The first king was not humble as a minister, entrusted the prince with the important responsibility, and always accompanied His Majesty. After the collapse of the king, the minister was favored by His Majesty, and he was a doctor for 18 years and a prime minister for 10 years. The minister is stupid, and since he was instructed, he has only eaten and eaten at night, and he has done his best to repay His Majesty's kindness. Fortunately, he lived up to his mission and was able to personally sweep His Majesty Liuhe, that is, the position of the Son of Heaven, and this life is enough.

Although Jiuzhou is unified today, the hearts of the people in the world have not yet returned. Your Majesty should reward cultivation and weaving and less conquest, and lightly give the people rest and recuperate. Don't be happy and be anxious for quick success.

Your Majesty's diligence in government affairs is a blessing to all the people. However, working day and night, forgetting to sleep and eating, and not sparing the dragon's body, is also a catastrophe. Your Majesty should combine work and rest. However, there are cumbersome matters that can make the princes and prime ministers, the state governor's mansion, and the court governor's mansion share the worries of His Majesty.

Now stay away, and hope that Your Majesty will listen to it.

The first emperor was twenty-seven years old, and the first king was the first to bow down.

When Qin Shi Huang read it, he already had tears in his eyes, and the tireless teachings of his teacher when he was a teenager were vividly remembered. In recent years, I always feel that the old man is more than enough, innovation is insufficient, and he is becoming more and more estranged from him. So he said with mixed feelings: "The old prime minister has worked hard for Daqin day and night for decades, and now I want to return to my hometown to enjoy a few days of Qingfu, I shouldn't have left you, but I really can't bear it." Please stay longer, and it will not be too late to return when the Marquis Wencheng's mansion is repaired. ”

The first emperor did not wait for Wang Juan to reply, and issued an edict: "Order Shaofu to immediately send more engineers to return to Langya County with Langya County, and improve the Langya Palace into the Wencheng Marquis Mansion, which will be completed within half a year." ”

"No!" Shaofu and Langya County Shou responded at the same time.

"Sealed ...... Feng Quji is the left prime minister (deputy prime minister), and from now on, he will fully assist the old prime minister in handling government affairs! "The First Emperor originally wanted to promote Li Si to the prime minister of Zuo, but when he spoke, he thought that Li Si usually disagreed with Wang Juan, and it was obviously inappropriate to put the two of them together at this time. changed his words and asked the old and serious Feng to go to help Wang Juan.

When the First Emperor announced that Feng Quji would be appointed as the prime minister of Zuo, all the ministers, including Feng Quji, were very surprised. Because in everyone's minds, Li Si was the candidate to succeed the prime minister, so they all forgot to congratulate Feng Qiji, and the hall immediately fell into an eerie silence.

"Li Si was promoted to the Imperial Doctor, Dun was promoted to Tingwei, and Yao Jia was promoted to Dianke." The First Emperor announced. Only then did everyone congratulate a few people.

After a while, Zhao Gao shouted loudly again: "I said, today is the first year of the year, and it is also the day of the founding of the Great Qin, it is rare for all the county guards in the world to gather in Xianyang, set up a banquet in Xianyang Palace, and celebrate the monarchs and ministers together!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! The ministers thanked in unison, and the hall was lively again, and it must be a great favor to be able to get a banquet from the emperor.

In the main hall of Xianyang Palace, dozens of court musicians played Ya music, and more than ten maiko danced in the middle. More than 100 ministers sat around the size of their titles, drinking and merry.

The First Emperor was in a very good mood at this time, and frequently raised his glass to invite his ministers to drink, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.
