At night, the prime minister, the imperial historian and the official offices of the secretaries, who had been busy all day, turned off the lights one after another, and the officials returned to their homes, and both sides of Zhangtai Street fell into darkness.

But in the Zhangtai Palace separated by a wall, the bedroom of Qin Wangzheng is still brightly lit, and the light is emitted by more than ten bronze lamp stands as tall as trees on the hall, and the best whale oil transported from the Qidi seashore is used as fuel, so that the lamps will never be extinguished.

Qin Wangzheng's day's work has not yet been completed, and with the rapid opening up of the territory, the daily government affairs he needs to deal with have also increased rapidly:

He needs to approve the candidates for the guards, lieutenants, and supervisors to be appointed by the new counties, and the list of the wealthy of the six countries that are expected to migrate to Xianyang has also been drawn up and needs to be approved......

What the Qin State has done is not only to destroy the bronze shell of the old world, but also to forge the iron skeleton of the new order, there are so many things that need to be built, it is simply a thousand things.

That's why Qin Wangzheng is so busy, he audits and breaks the prison during the day, sorts out the recitals late at night, and gets up the next day, and he has to personally handle the writing and ink, and reads the newly delivered recitals one by one and sends them to the prime minister and the imperial history office.

Dreaming of sleeping at night, there is a good future, and this sentence is very appropriate to describe the work of King Qin. If he hadn't been in the prime of life and full of energy, ordinary people would have been crushed or neglected.

After finally taking care of these things, and letting the two tall Lang Wei carry away the hundreds of catties of music that had been read, the night was already dark. Qin Wang Zhengcai waited for the palace people, applied hot water to his face for a while, and asked people to send the recital of the emperor's name discussed by the ministers non-stop.

The first to open was the ensemble of Prime Minister Kui Xiang, Wang Juan, Imperial Historian Feng Quji, and Tingwei Li Si.

"The ministers would like to discuss with the doctor and say: In ancient times, there were emperors, there were emperors, there were emperors of Thailand, and the emperor of Thailand was the most expensive."

"Therefore, the ministers are waiting for the death of the honorific title, and the king is the emperor of Thailand. The order is 'system', the order is 'edict', and the Son of Heaven calls himself 'I'. ”

It is also appended with a recital written by the wise men, which elaborates on this view.

"Heaven and earth are born of the One. Therefore, among the three emperors, the Thai (Tai) emperor is the most expensive. ”

After reading it, Qin Wangzheng's fingers lightly tapped on the desk, and said secretly: "The system, the edict, and the Son of Heaven called me are good, but this emperor is called the Emperor of Thailand......"

He showed a smile that saw through everything under his thick beard, and said meaningfully: "The right prime minister and Tingwei are both from Chudi......"

The so-called Taiyi, which can also be called "Eastern Emperor Taiyi", is the supreme god of the Chu people. Among the three emperors, the Thai emperor is the most expensive, which was originally the view of Confucian scholars and scholars in Chudi, and in the past hundred years, it has gradually flowed to the Central Plains and has been widely recognized.

But Qin Wangzheng didn't like it! I won't add the slightest color to my own work.

"Kui Zhuang, Wang Xuan, Feng Quji, Li Si has always been shrewd, why are you so confused this time......

King Qin unceremoniously threw this note aside, and continued to read the advice of the doctors.

Most of the doctors were Confucian scholars, and Confucian scholars were divided into many factions. Chudi Confucian thought that the Thai emperor was the most expensive, but Qilu Confucian sang the opposite tune with them, thinking that the Thai emperor was not Taiyi, but was actually a human emperor, not as noble as the emperor. Another group of people thought that the king of Qin was the monarch of the earth after all, not the god of heaven, so it was appropriate to call the emperor of the earth.

But these two honorific titles were vetoed by King Qin one by one.

As for Yilang's recital, it is even more unpopular, what Emperor Xuan, Emperor Bai, Emperor Gao, and so on, King Qin is not satisfied.

In the concept of King Qin and the world, he thinks that the emperor is higher than the emperor, the emperor is higher than the king, and the more ancient he is, the more respectful he is, he is not even satisfied with the name of the three emperors, how can he be satisfied with the emperor?

Then again, what kind of honorific title can match the great deeds of raising righteous soldiers, punishing thieves, pacifying the world, the sea is a county, and the laws are unified, which has not been tasted since ancient times, and the great deeds that the five emperors cannot match, is there no bottom in the heart of King Qin?

That answer had already appeared in his heart, and he just wanted to see what the honorific titles of the ministers would be, and whether he could understand his intentions......

But a bunch of books are extremely boring, although the ministers express their opinions, but none of them can get close to the heart of King Qin.

It wasn't until the squire opened the envelope with "Yilang Heifu" written on it that Qin Wangzheng's eyes lit up.

"The minister is vulgar, out of the county around the head of the county, does not understand the literature and ink, and does not know the classics, but he has heard the matter of the three emperors and the five emperors under the pillar, so he risked his death to speak."

King Qin has some understanding of Heifu's background, and he deliberately arranged this son to the position of Yilang, which also has his intentions. Indeed, if there is no Zhang Cang to tell him, it would be really strange if Heifu could know the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

However, Heifu continued to write: "It may be said that the Three Emperors are the beginning of the development and the beginning of the monarchs and ministers, but their fire and flint nests, with stone and wood as soldiers, are really ignorant; It is also said that the five emperors are thousands of miles away, but their foreign princes obey the princes or the dynasty or not, the Son of Heaven cannot be systematized, and the name is the co-lord of the world, but in fact, it is a small country and a widow. ”

"Now Your Majesty has succeeded to the throne, the remnants of Fen VI, Zhen Chang and Yu Yu, swallowed two weeks and died the princes, performed the supreme and made Liuhe, the tiger looked majestic, and the four seas were vibrating!"

"Therefore, the minister thinks that His Majesty has made achievements in the three emperors, and the five emperors of virtue and superpower, whether it is the emperor or the emperor, can not cover the merits of His Majesty, and the sum of the three emperors and the five emperors may be ......"

Writing this, the King of Qin already has a definite number of honorific titles in his heart, and he is about to come out!

However, Heifu stopped there, and came to an abrupt end, instead pouring bitter water.

"The minister knows that he doesn't know how to learn, so he recently flipped through the classics in the collection room of the Imperial History Mansion, but searched the intestines and scraped the stomach, and it was still difficult to find a suitable honorific name, so he didn't dare to discuss it, and I would like to worship the table to hear it from Your Majesty."

Xiao is like this, but this is the most satisfactory note that Qin Wangzheng has ever seen tonight, he couldn't help nodding slightly: "I never thought that the person who is most compatible with me is actually a little Lang!" ”

The sum of the three emperors and the five emperors is naturally the "emperor"!

This is the honorific title that Qin Wangzheng has already decided, but as a superior person, it is an interesting thing to watch the ministers rush to dispute over their honorific titles, and in the end, they will all be overthrown, and an answer that makes them jaw-dropping, shocked and then praised.

Han Fei wrote well in the book, the principle of the monarch is not to be seen through by his subordinates. If you want to do something and express your thoughts without knowing the whole situation, you will not only not benefit from it, but you will definitely suffer if you do it.

So, release a little bit of information, and then let the ministers guess and guess what the king thinks.

Let them fight too, after the edict, everyone did not dare to be silent, they could only speak out, and in the controversy, some of the thoughts and political opinions hidden in ordinary days were revealed.

This is the king's southern technique, and everything is in the hands of Qin Wangzheng.

However, if someone impartially guessed what he was thinking and said it triumphantly, Qin Wangzheng would frown again.

Therefore, Qin Wang thought that what Heifu said in his recital was really just right, and his thoughts coincided with him, and he stopped in the right place.

He placed Heifu's recitals on the right side of the desk, which was clearly distinguished from the mountains of books on the left that had been vetoed.

"It's indeed a bit condescending to let this son be a six-hundred-stone little talker."

Although he found the most desirable note, Qin Wangzheng's purpose was to consider the ministers, so even though he was a little sleepy, he insisted on reading all the notes.

When he opened it and got the permission, and had to discuss the emperor's CRRC Mansion Order Zhao Gao in the book, Qin Wangzheng's sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty has made contributions to the three emperors, and the five emperors of Germany, regardless of the emperor or the emperor, cannot cover the merits of Your Majesty...... Therefore, the minister Zhao Gao did not dare to discuss it. ”

Except for the previous differences, the final conclusion is exactly the same as that of Heifu!

Qin Wangzheng touched his thick beard, a little surprised, Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion, was born in a hidden official, his mother was punished, so the world was humble.

However, Zhao Gao is quite self-reliant, not only has a strong body, but also obtained a free body by virtue of military merits, in a hunt of Shanglin Hunting Tigers, he relied on superb riding skills, attracted the attention of King Qin, and selected him to be a warrior of the Che Mansion.

In April of the ninth year, Chang Yu launched a mutiny when Qin Wangzheng went to Yongxing to pay a crown salute, and relied on the Empress Dowager's seal to transfer the lieutenant army and the soldiers of Neishi County to attack the Qi Nian Palace. At the most dangerous moment, King Qin only had Lang Zhonglingjun and the warriors of the Che Mansion around him, Zhao Gao desperately defended the King of Qin, helped him quell the rebellion, and became the most trusted person of the King of Qin, more than ten years ago, the people around the King of Qin came and went, but Zhao Gao always firmly occupied the side of the king.

Zhao Gao was also angry, although he won the knighthood by force, but he taught himself the prison law and could write a good hand, so he slowly rose to the position of the CRRC government order.

He and Yilang Heifu only met once in Chen County and said a few words, according to logic, these are two people who absolutely cannot intersect, why did they write almost the same note?

After Qin Wangzheng thought for a while, a wave of sleepiness hit, so he didn't think about it anymore, just shook his head and said secretly: "This is a real coincidence!" ”

……

The next day, Hu Wujing, who had been a prison official and had been promoted to a historian because of his good calligraphy, came to the living room of King Qin's office with trepidation, and saw that on the desk, there were dozens of volumes of music piled up on the left, and there were only two silk books on the right......

"Hu Wujing, for my grass edict."

King Qin had already taken a nap for two hours, and while eating the morning food, he began to be busy with government affairs non-stop.

Hu Wujing respectfully spread out the silk and wrote it carefully according to the dictation of King Qin.

"The king said: The matter of the honorific title discussed by the ministers, the widow has read it, the prime minister, the imperial history office, and the court captain are called the emperor of Thailand, and go to 'Thailand', stay the 'emperor', and then adopt the ancient 'emperor' title, called 'emperor'. He ...... as he agreed."

Hu Wujing hurriedly held his trembling hand, he only felt that he was witnessing a great moment.

From now on, when he drafted the edict, he would write "The Emperor Said"!

However, after he insisted on writing this edict, His Majesty the Emperor ordered him to write two more letters of appointment.

"The CRRC Mansion ordered Zhao Gao, the sparseness of the Zun number is deep and sincere, and the guards have been driving for many years, so the lord is the right chief."

"Yilang Heifu, the sparseness of the Yizun number is quite agreeable, and he has been reappointed as the general of Zhonglang! Rank than a thousand stones! Confining the Guards! ”
