Volume 12 The Transformation of the World Chapter 1 The Emperor
Early in the morning, the meeting hall of the Qi Nian Palace.
Qin Wangzheng was high on the throne, and the colorful golden dragon on the black rolling dragon robe on his body was shining with golden light, and it was extremely majestic.
At the foot of the stairs of the palace sat energetic civil and military officials. Since this was the first large gathering of court officials of more than 2,000 stone after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, it was very formal, and everyone changed into brand new court clothes! Wu Anjun Fusu, Prime Minister Wang Xuan, National Lieutenant Lieutenant, Imperial Lieutenant Feng Zai, and Imperial Historian Feng Qujian were at the forefront of the civil and military officials.
Because Qin advocates black, and the ceremonial guards and official costumes are mostly black, the scene looks heavy and solemn!
Qin Wangzheng was thirty-seven years old at the time, and it was the most mature years of his life, he seemed more mature, more majestic, and even had a hint of yin and sting!
Qin Wangzheng glanced at a group of ministers with great ambition, and said proudly: "Relying on the wisdom of the ancestral temple, the six kingdoms have all surrendered, and the world is completely calm. This is the beginning of a new era, and a new era must have a new atmosphere! If the name is not changed, it will not show the success of the widow, nor can it be distinguished from the previous generation, let alone let future generations understand: the great contribution of the widow and the Zhongqing family to the Chinese civilization. So, today we are going to agree on the king's name first! β
Hearing this, Fusu smiled secretly in his heart: "It's not simple, wait for me to come!" When he was about to get up, he saw that the old prime minister Wang Juan, who was old and serious, had already left work, so he sat down again.
I saw Wang Juan say respectfully: "My lord, the minister thinks that a holy monarch like Shang Tang is only called the king, so the minister thinks that the title of 'king' is the best." Moreover, the minister also suggested that the remote areas should be divided and the feudal system of the Western Zhou Dynasty should be restored, which would be conducive to the princes jointly defending the central government! β
When Qin Wangzheng heard this, he said with a displeased face: "The prime minister is a little confused, can't you see that the Shang and Zhou feudalism is the root cause of the world's military disasters, how can we repeat the mistakes of the past!" I'll talk about this later, let's talk about the king's horn first! β
When Wang Juan heard Qin Wangzheng's accusations, he couldn't help but be stunned, and the words that were originally in his stomach were swallowed back immediately. I thought to myself: the original King of Qin always wanted his ministers to speak, and no matter whether it was right or wrong, he always listened first, and then drew conclusions. But now, King Qin can't hear the slightly unspoken advice at all, otherwise he wouldn't accuse him of being a septuagenarian in front of all the ministers! He's changed!
Suddenly, Wang Juan thought about it: "The world is decided, the four seas are peaceful, and the King of Qin no longer needs the advice of our old ministers!" Wang Juan smiled bitterly, and suddenly had the idea of retreating in his heart, and bowed his head and retreated.
At this time, Li Sichen smiled and said: "Great King, in the past, the five emperors governed a region thousands of miles square, and the marquis and Yifu outside this area were tributary, and some were not tributary, and the Son of Heaven could not control them. Now His Majesty dispatched the righteous army, punished the violent thieves, pacified the world, set up counties within the four seas, and unified the decrees, which has not been done since ancient times, and the five emperors are beyond their reach. The ministers believed that in ancient times, there were emperors, earth emperors, and Thai emperors, and the Thai emperor was the most noble. We risk our lives to present our honorific title and call the king 'Emperor of Thailand'! β
Qin Wangzheng thought about it when he heard this, and he was undecided for a while, and asked the ministers: "Li Si wants to be called 'Emperor of Thailand', what do you think?" β
Fusu thought, "It's time for me to play!" He stood up proudly and said: "Father, the title of 'Emperor of Thailand' is extremely inappropriate, Li Si has limited talents, and this title does not show the achievements of my father through the ages!" β
As soon as these words came out, Fusu peeked at it, and Li Si's face couldn't help but suddenly turn red like a monkey's ass!
When Qin Wangzheng heard this, he was very interested and said, "Then what does Wang Er suggest?" β
Fusu smiled in a good mood: "Although the merits of the three emperors and the five emperors are combined, according to the sons, the three emperors and the five emperors are collectively called the 'emperor', which is the most in line with the merits of the father, so as to show the greatness of the three emperors and the five emperors!" I don't know what my father wants? β
Qin Wangzheng was overjoyed and said: "What Wang Er said is good, from now on, the widow's king will be called the emperor!" "King Shengming!" As soon as the ministers saw that King Qin had made up their minds, they hurriedly slapped their ass!
Fu Su said with a smile: "Father, just changing the name of the king is not enough to show the incomparable majesty of my vast Qin, and the son wants to call his father no longer a widow from today, but 'I', and the rest of the people must not make good use of it, and those who violate it will die!" At the same time, the 'edict' was changed to 'holy decree' to show the supremacy! And the ministers no longer called their father 'king', but changed their name to 'Your Majesty' or 'Emperor' to show the high status of their father! I don't know what my father thinks of these fallacies? β
Qin Wangzheng was stunned by Fusu's sycophancy, and said with great joy: "What Wang Er said is very good, and from today onwards, it will be determined according to this statement!" β
"Your Majesty Shengming, your opinion is beyond the reach of the ministers!" All the civil and military forces are very active, now learning and using, big sycophants!
At this time, Li Si didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to go back to class with a red face!
Qin Wangzheng smiled majestically and said proudly: "Then from today on, I will be the first emperor of my Great Qin!" There will be two generations, three generations, and ten thousand lifetimes! β
"Your Majesty Shengming, Great Qin will last forever!" Don't pat yourself at this time, but when!
The secret room in the Liss Mansion!
The lights flickered, illuminating Li Si's already somewhat gloomy face even more pale. And Zhao Gao is still sinister and obscene!
Li Si said hatefully: "Fusu Xiao'er is really hateful, he dares to humiliate me in front of His Majesty and the ministers, how can I eliminate the hatred in my heart if I don't get rid of it!" β
Zhao Gao snorted when he heard this, and said sharply: "Lord Li is really a fool's dream, helping the Soviet Union to fight in the Kanto region, and his military achievements are outstanding. Not only the military generals return to their hearts, but the civil officials support them, even His Majesty also leans on his arms, how can he easily get rid of them? β
Li Si was a little speechless for a while, and suddenly sneered: "Even so, I, Li Si, will also swear to stand with Fusu Xiao'er!" Zhao Gaoren is usually resourceful, I don't know if there is a good plan? β
Zhao Gao shook his head and said: "Fusu is currently the eldest son of the Lord, and it is not an earth-shattering thing, and the Lord will never move him easily." Especially the Wolf Talisman, 'Wolf Fang. In the event of an outbreak of 15,000 new troops, the combat power can reach 100,000 elite soldiers, even the Lord has to think twice! How easy it is to say that! β
Li Si frowned, smiled suddenly, and said sinisterly: "Lord Zhao, have you ever seen Wang Juan being refuted by the Lord today?" Zhao Gao nodded, and suddenly said, "What do you mean?" β
Li Si said with a smile: "The Lord is no longer the Lord of the past, no matter how hard it is to listen to the advice of the contrary, and it has become better and more joyful, indulge in enjoyment, isn't this the best opportunity I am waiting for!" β
Zhao Gao had an epiphany, and a look of excitement appeared on his obscene face: "Lord Li is right, the previous lord was wise, diligent, frugal, and listened, and I didn't have any chance to seize power; If the Lord does become what you say, then we will be reused as we do what he likes. And with the self-righteous and self-righteous character of Fusu and others, I am afraid that there will be many conflicts with the Lord, and this is the opportunity for us to borrow a knife to kill people! β
"Hahaha!" The two of them let out a sinister laugh as if their plan had succeeded!
A few days later, Qin Shi Huang convened a state council of ministers and state officials, and the participants were carefully prepared, quoting scriptures or expressing their own unique opinions at the meeting, showing their talents, and finally the first emperor made decisions.
The top of the proceedings is as follows:
1: The first emperor believed that the feudal system of the Western Zhou Dynasty led to the independence of the princes, the state could not be controlled, and eventually the world was in chaos, and Qin could not repeat its mistakes, so the Qin state was no longer feudal in the future. Fusu did not oppose this because of his special status, but fully agreed, so under the decision of Qin Shi Huang and Fusu, the two most powerful people in the dynasty, Qin finally decided not to be feudal!
2: Establish the absolute authority of the supreme ruler, and the supreme ruler of the country is the emperor.
3: Improve the centralized organization. Under the emperor, there is a central power organization, which is in charge of the "three dukes" (the three dukes are: the prime minister, the imperial lieutenant, and the imperial historian), and the prime minister, divided into the left and right prime ministers, is the chief of a hundred officials, and assists the emperor in handling the government affairs of the whole country; Tai Lieutenant, the chief of the military attachΓ©, is in charge of the military affairs of the whole country. The Imperial Historian, assisting the Prime Minister, is in charge of the books, the chapters, and the supervision of officials at all levels.
Below the three princes is Jiuqing: Fengchang, in charge of the etiquette of the temple; Lang Zhongling, who was responsible for conveying the emperor's orders, as well as the emperor's guards; The guard captain, who was the head of the palace guards, was responsible for the daily guarding of the emperor's residence; The main job of the imperial servant is to serve the emperor and take charge of the emperor's chariots and horses; Tingwei, who is in charge of judicial affairs throughout the country and is responsible for hearing serious and important cases; pawns, who are responsible for the country's foreign affairs and the affairs of the internal minorities; Zongzheng was an official who specialized in managing the affairs of the imperial family; He managed the central government's finances and was responsible for the nation's tax collection; Shaofu was the emperor's personal financial officer, managing the mountains and lakes and the court handicrafts that were privately owned by the emperor.
The Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries are directly responsible to the Emperor, who makes the final decision on major matters.
4: Improve local administrative institutions at all levels. Improve and implement the local political power organs at the county and county levels. The country is divided into 36 counties - Sanchuan, Hedong, Nanyang, Nanjun, Jiujiang, Yanjun, Huiji, Yingchuan, Dangjun, Surabaya, Xue County, Dongjun, Langya, Qi County, Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong, Daijun, Julu, Handan, Shangdang, Taiyuan, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan, Yanmen, Shangjun, Longxi, Beidi, Hanzhong, Bajun, Shu County, Qianzhong, Changsha and Neishi (the headquarters of Qin Guoguanzhong).
The county has a history of county guards, county lieutenants, and supervisors.
The county keeper is the supreme governor of a county and is in charge of the affairs of a county.
Lieutenant: In charge of the army of a county.
Supervisor History: Responsible for supervising the officials and people of a county.
The county is divided into counties, and the county is divided into townships, pavilions, and li.
Officials in the political institutions from the central government to the counties and counties were appointed and dismissed by the emperor, and the system of stipends was implemented. The authority of the emperor could reach the locality and rule the whole country from top to bottom.
5: Strengthen army building. The army is the main component of state power. The army was divided into two types: infantry and sailors. The movement of the army was evidenced by the Tiger Talisman, which was in the hands of the Emperor.
6: Uniform law. A series of political, economic, military and cultural laws were enacted to maintain hierarchy and order.
7: Use the "Five Virtues of the End" to establish Qin's orthodox status and deify imperial power. Inculcate in his subjects the mystical idea of the divine right of the emperor. The Qin royal clothes, flags, and festivals are all black, and the number is calculated by six, the military talisman, the six talismans, and the crown are all six inches, and the car is six feet long, and the six feet are taken as a step, and the emperor's chariot uses six horses.
8: Destroy weapons: confiscate all the civil weapons in the world, gather in Xianyang, and cast them into practical tools such as bells. And cast into 12 large 'gold' people weighing 240,000 catties each, placed in the Xianyang court, as a symbol of this action.
9: Destroy the Great Wall and military fortresses built by the former princes in China, and only Xiu Liuyan and Zhao will defend against the invasion of the Hu people, so as to prevent the rebellion of the rebellious people, and at the same time eradicate the traffic obstacles.
10: Dig through the river defenses built by various countries for military needs, and use them for waterway transportation and farmland irrigation and water conservancy after dredging.
11: Move 120,000 wealthy families from all over the world to Xianyang, on the one hand, to monitor them, so that they will no longer have a divisive effect in the homeland, and on the other hand, to enrich the wealth and prosperity of the capital.
The above resolution, the first emperor handed over to the prime minister, and supervised the implementation of hundreds of officials one by one.
At this point, the majestic Great Qin, the first great unified dynasty on the land of China, was officially born. However, will it be as brilliant and short-lived as in history, which can't help but become a heavy boulder in Fusu's heart!
