Chapter 326: The Great Pilgrimage

The main hall of Zhangtai Palace is called "the four seas return to one hall", located at the commanding height of Longshouyuan, this hall is magnificent and extraordinary, there are 120 pillars of the negative building only to support the dome, all need two people to embrace.

The interior is also very gorgeous, with the fragrant and precious magnolia as the rafters, decorated with gilded copper heads, the vertical railing sills carved with delicate and elegant patterns, the open doors with jade ornaments, and the almond floors spotless......

Heifu, as the commander of the Zhonglang household in the forbidden guard, has inspected the main hall four or five times from last night to this morning, and it seems empty when no one is there, except that when the wind blows in, the rows of bronze chimes on the side of the hall occasionally make a little sound.

Now, 300 musicians dressed in silk robes are in place, and the first thing to ring is the jingling chime, and then the drums, seers, qins, and sheng are played one after another, and a huge ensemble begins.

Those who understand will know as soon as they hear it that this is the joy of "Daya" for the purpose of the temple of the court.

As the grand music resounded through the hall, it was also announced that the court meeting had officially begun.

"Enter the temple!"

Under the guidance of the confessor, the ministers gathered outside the palace entered the palace in turn.

Since LΓΌ Buwei's death, no one has been given the treatment of the sword to the court. Everyone handed over their swords twenty paces from the forbidden gate, and when they came to the temple gate, they took off their shoes one after another, and entered only in their white footwear.

At today's court meeting, all the Lang guards were mobilized, from Zhonglang General Meng Yi to ordinary guards, and everyone had to line up the flag guard of honor outside the hall. Heifu was no exception, he was fortunate to bring a group of swallow-jawed tiger heads, burly and strong Lang Zhong and Majesty Lang were in the palace.

However, Heifu's hands were empty, the people in the hall were unarmed, and the warriors outside were separated by more than a hundred steps, and they were not allowed to go to the palace without the emperor's order.

If something happened, Lang Wei could only use his body to deliver a fatal blow to the emperor at the moment, waving his fist to capture the assassin.

Heifu said secretly: "No wonder when Jing Ke was assassinated, Qin Shi Huang still had to rely on Xia Wuhe's medicine bag to save the emergency......"

In addition, the different positions in the hall represent different levels and the degree of closeness to the emperor. Zhonglang will Meng Yi stand directly under the "Your Majesty", that is, under the steps of the emperor's couch, Heifu and Wang Li, who are only on both sides of the hall, parallel to the seats of the ministers, of which Wang Li is on the right and he is on the left.

This is a good location, and you can see the situation in the temple at a glance.

At this time, as the music was finished, the listener shouted "Trend" again!

The ministers at the end of the hall immediately stepped forward, through the passage formed by His Majesty, and came to His Majesty.

The generals were listed on the west side in order of rank and rank, facing east. Heifu saw that from front to back, they were Chehou Wuchenghou Wang Qian, Guannei Hou Wuxin Hou Feng Wuxue, and then there were Dashu Chang Mengwu, as well as Wei Wei and Lang Zhongling, all wearing silk clothes and crowns.

The civil officials, headed by the prime minister, are also listed in the east and facing the west. The first place is the right prime minister Kui Xiang, followed by the left prime minister Wang Juan, the imperial historian Feng Quji, the court captain Li Si, as well as Zongzheng, Taifu, Dianke, Shaofu and other secretaries.

Ye Teng, who Heifu hadn't seen for a long time, also appeared in the column, but Ye Teng, who was the only one in Nanjun, could only stand in the middle and back of the hall. This old man held the white jade gui and did not squint, as if he did not see the black man standing solemnly in His Majesty.

Unlike in film and television dramas, when the emperor is not here, the ministers can chat and laugh, at this moment, there is no sound of discussion in the palace.

Qin Ke is a prince who has been established for hundreds of years, not an upstart who rose from the head of Qian, although the system of etiquette and music is not as prosperous as Shandong, but it has its own rules. During the whole process, there is also a law enforcement imperial history constantly patrolling the side, staring at everyone, if there are people who are found to be unetiquette, they will be immediately invited out of the main hall!

In front of everyone's eyes, the taste must be unbearable, so even if the emperor did not arrive, the ministers trembled, and no one dared to take it lightly.

"Even if it's urgent, you have to hold it." Heifu was a little sympathetic to the old ministers who looked a lot older, and there were no public toilets in the palace.

Fortunately, the emperor was a diligent man, and he did not have the habit of making his ministers wait for a long time, and the first to come out were nine protocol officers, who stepped on the same footsteps and paged in the way of "passing on the throne" to announce the arrival of the emperor.

The emperor sat upright on the chariot, and was carried into the hall by eight strong chamberlains, straight to His Majesty.

This is the first time that Heifu has seen the First Emperor again since he came to Xianyang, and there is no flashy appearance, but instead a conciseness that surprises Heifu.

Qin Shi Huang sought change and innovation in everything he did, and even changed his dress, abolishing the crown dress that had been passed down for hundreds of years, and replacing it with a simple "Xuanxuan". This is an all-black deep coat, which is in line with the new system of the Qin Dynasty that is still black and is still black.

But under the simplicity, but not sloppy at all, what he carried on his back was the Tai'a sword that was more than three feet long, and he knelt on the emperor's couch after getting down, and the emperor's seal carved by He's Bi was at hand......

With the appearance of the emperor, Heifu and other officials and guards all raised the banners in their hands, chanted "police", and led the ministers to congratulate them in shifts according to their titles.

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"

The ministers bowed, and Heifu also knelt on one knee.

At the same time, he secretly glanced at the first emperor on the emperor's couch, because of the angle problem, he couldn't see the emperor's expression, only saw the emperor's case mellow like water and the clan, reflecting the candlelight, like power, dizzying......

……

"The system said: I heard that the ancient times had a number, and the ancient times had a number, and died by deeds. In this way, the son will discuss the father, and the minister will discuss the king, which is very meaningless, and I will take it! ”

After the emperor waved his hand to exempt the ministers, the first thing to do at the court meeting was to read the edict to the emperor wearing a high mountain crown.

"From now on, we will remove the law. I am the First Emperor. The future generations will be counted, and the second and third generations will be passed on endlessly! ”

The ministers are all praised, only the doctor Zhou Qingchen, Fu Sheng and others who were able to observe the court meeting at the end of the palace were stiff one by one, and the best thing for Confucianism was to grasp allusions and discuss the name, and the emperor abolished the law, they were equivalent to a big loss of power.

However, this is the emperor's will, and the doctors dare not openly oppose it, so they can only endure it, after all, today, there is something more important to decide with the emperor.

"That's the big thing that really matters for a hundred generations." Zhou Qingchen said secretly in his heart, and at the same time shook his head at the doctors, asking them to calm down for a while.

In addition to going to the law, the emperor also posthumously respected King Zhuang Xiang as the emperor, but he did not posthumously respect the empress, the reason is known to everyone, and no one dares to say more.

In addition, it is officially declared that Qin is a water virtue, and the year is changed to "the twenty-sixth year of the first emperor", and October is still used as the main year, and the clothes and festival flags are all colored in black......

Heifu knew that in recent days, the Yanqi Yin and Yang family, who had been recruited by Wang Juan, frequently entered and exited the palace to meet the emperor. They talked a lot about Zou Yan's theory of the five virtues and concluded that Qin was a water virtue.

He also said that whenever there is a change of dynasty, there is auspiciousness, and Qin's auspiciousness is the black dragon that is rumored to have appeared in Longshouyuan hundreds of years ago. This is also the reason why the emperor is not in Xianyang Palace, but holds a court meeting in Zhangtai Palace.

His Majesty the Emperor is very superstitious about Yin-Yang Mathematics.

The confessor also read out: "The number is six for the discipline, the charm and the crown are all six inches, and the Yu is six feet, six feet is the step, and the ...... is six horses."

Heifu almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

This is the mystical worship and exhaustive pursuit of the "number of six six" by the Yin and Yang family and the emperor, but at this moment, it is read out by the confessor, but Heifu can't help but laugh......

"His Majesty the Emperor is shouting six six six six to the world?"

……

Heifu didn't laugh out loud, otherwise his story might have come to an abrupt end today.

When the edict was over, the ministers who had stood for a long time were finally able to sit down, and the emperor was still very humane to his subordinates, not only having their own seats, but also letting the chamberlain offer them "French wine".

It's a pity that Lang Wei doesn't have a seat, but fortunately, when Heifu was in the army, he liked to take his subordinates to stand in a military posture, and it was not a matter at all to stand for a few hours......

Today's drama has just begun, and the ministers toast to the emperor in turn according to their positions, which is the so-called "Shangshou".

Wucheng Marquis Wang Jian bore the brunt of the brunt, he got up to the palace, toasted his birthday, and bowed down again: "Your Majesty does not think that the old minister is useless, and entrusts me to cut down Chu with 600,000 troops, delayed for half a year, and has not urged, but has given me countless pastoral fields every month, and now he has increased the title to the Marquis of Che, and the old minister is really ashamed." ”

"Now the old minister is old, tell the old man at home, the only thing that can't let go is the only son Wang Ben, he is far away in Qidi, thousands of miles away, in case one day the old minister is seriously ill and will die, he can't rush back to see the last side, and I hope that the king can make Wang Ben transfer back to Xianyang, and send me to the end......"

Wang Li, who was opposite Heifu, did not change his complexion, but his breathing was a little shorter, even Heifu could understand that Wang Jian wanted his son to hand over the military power, so as to make the emperor feel at ease.

Qin Shi Huang did not allow it, and replied to Wang Jian and said: "How can the general talk about the old man? General Wang may still want to continue to open up territory for me, let alone General Wang? Qi is newly attached, and it must be guarded by a general. ”

He also pointed at His Majesty's Wang Li, and said with a smile: "Wait until the new General Wang can defend the territory for me, and then let Wang Ben come back!" ”

Wang Li felt very honored, but Wang Jian secretly sighed, thanked him and returned to his seat.

Next, is the right prime minister Kui, this is older than Wang Jian The old minister moves slowly, speaks verbosely, and is some words of praise for virtue, after the emperor listens patiently, let the chamberlain carry him back to the seat, and also instruct the imperial history, even if the old prime minister has any stupid behavior, don't be embarrassed for him......

As soon as Kui Xiangfu sat down, Zuo Prime Minister Wang Juan couldn't wait to stand up, and it was finally his turn!

"Your Majesty swept the world, captured the six kings, and returned thousands of miles to one, this is something that has never happened since the three emperors and five emperors!"

Wang Juan is from Shandong, and when he was young, he mixed in the Jixia School Palace, and was kind to Confucianism and the Yin and Yang family. It was he who suggested that the emperor recruit Shandong scholars as doctors, which was the Qin Dynasty's large-scale attempt to attract Shandong talents into the court.

This move achieved good results, although there were also some scholars who were stubborn and did not come, but Zhou Qingchen, Fu Sheng, Qidiao, Lezheng, Shusun Tong and others entered Qin one after another.

They gave full play to their strengths, listed the etiquette of the six countries, selected their goodness, combined with the inherent etiquette system of Yin Zhou and Qin, and finally had the prosperity of today's court.

In addition, there are also some yin and yang families who come to Xianyang. The emperor is much more interested in them than Confucianism, and Dingshui De, counting six as the discipline, is their credit.

It is also the credit of Wang Juan.

The right prime minister is old and unbearable, Wang Juan only thinks that he, the left prime minister, is going to take the lead in this new dynasty and the renewal of Wanli!

So, Wang Xuan, who was touted by the doctors a little fluttering, had the courage to make a suggestion after toasting and praising the emperor's achievements.

"However, the world is vast, the princes are beginning to break, and the people's hearts are not at peace, especially in Yan, Qi, Jing and other places, and it may be inconvenient to establish counties and counties. In the past, when Zhou Wu was destroyed, he made the sons open up the land and seal the marquis, and the acres were real, so that the frontier was stable and the barbarians entered the court. Your Majesty has many sons, so it is better to make the princes princes and guard the territory of Yan, Qi and Jing. The minister risked his life to speak, only fortunately! ”

In a huge hall, there was silence, some people looked at Wang Juan, and those who got the news in advance looked at Qin Shi Huang.

The emperor didn't say much, and didn't even show a tendentious expression, but just said lightly: "What do you think?" ”

As if it was a good discussion, in the queue of Wenchen, one after another, the ministers came out one after another, saying: "Qin Law has an order, the clan does not have military merits, and it must not be a subordinate membership, and the princes, kings and grandsons are all in this list." Now that His Majesty has ascended to the throne of the emperor, the first person in Guanzhong Qianshou has given him a knighthood, but more than ten sons have no reward, it is better to follow the words of Prime Minister Zuo and make it sealed, which can not only respect the position of the princes, but also suppress the territory, isn't it beautiful? ”

The doctors at the end of the palace waited for this moment, and also quoted scriptures and classics, talking about "Zhou Wenwu divided the seal, so that Zhou had a long life of 800 years", Qin Jiyin and Zhou Zhitong should also continue this practice......

Even in the queue of military ministers, except for Wang Jian who sat still and closed his eyes and was silent, the generals who were awarded the title of secretary for their merits also expressed their support.

For a time, most of the ministers in the palace agreed, and they all said that it was convenient for the feudal children.

Only Heifu lowered his head and felt a little bad for Wang Juan!

Sure enough, in the midst of the applause, Li Si, the court lieutenant who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly got up and walked to the center of the hall.

He held Bai Yugui in his hand, slammed it at the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that the feudal statements of Prime Minister Zuo and the ministers are all broad-minded!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall that was still in full swing was cooled down in vain.

Wang Juan didn't expect that Li Si, who had not objected to this matter when he had ventilated in advance, stood on the opposite side of him at this moment, caught off guard, and was a little annoyed in his heart.

The ministers' eyes widened, the doctors looked at Li Si with hostile eyes, and some of the people who had just spoken up immediately shut up and began to retreat to their seats, ready to observe the situation again.

"It's coming!"

Only Heifu clenched his fists, he had expected this, but he didn't expect that this feudal dispute between counties and counties and the battle of national policy would be so tense at the first court meeting!
