Chapter 28: The First Emperor (1)
After a heavy rain in Guanzhong, the water of the Wei River swelled.
The turbid river water flows around Xianyang, rushing and roaring, and the momentum is fierce. The gentle willows on the riverside swayed in the wind. A small white flower is blooming on the side of the road, and the willow branch is dancing in a moving manner. The weather is cool and autumnal, and I see that it is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan are enchanting...... This year, it must be another bumper harvest year, and the hearts of the old Qin people are full of joy.
In the Xianyang Palace, the forty-year-old Qin Wangzheng is on the throne. The eagle-like eyes swept over the courtiers in the hall.
Qin Wangzheng, whose real name is Yingzheng, was born in Handan, Zhao State, was a proton, and spent his childhood there. For the humiliation inflicted on him by the Zhao people back then, Ying Zheng repaid by slaughtering the people of Handan. From the day he ascended the throne, the conspiracy and killing did not seem to stop. However, step by step, he came over. As for the hardships, who knows?
Today, six countries are complete, and all four seas are one.
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which began in the first year of Lu Yin (722 BC), have finally come to an end with great unification today.
Every end point is just a starting point.
No matter how excited the old Qin people were, no matter how carried away the courtiers were, Yingzheng always remained sober. In front of him is an empire that has never been seen since ancient times, starting from the sea in the east, reaching Lintao in the west, and reaching the northern villagers in the south. How to govern this powerful and vast empire has become an unavoidable and important problem for Ying Zheng.
In fact, since Wang Jian launched an attack on the Chu State, Ying Zheng and his think tanks have been discussing this matter.
"Now the six kingdoms have been destroyed, and the world is unified."
Ying Zheng stood up, and his height from eight feet away was not very outstanding among the old Qin people, but in this court, everyone had to look up. With broad shoulders and a round waist and a burly physique, the moment he stood up, everyone felt a sense of oppression.
"The ancestors of the Qin kings have always hoped for permanent peace in the United States, and the desire not to use the sword soldiers has finally been fulfilled by the widow under the blessing of the ancestors. Since the situation in the world has changed, the name of the widow may be changed, otherwise it will not be able to show the success of today, and it will be difficult to distinguish it from the previous generations, let alone let future generations understand...... All that they have is given by the widow. ”
In the words, ** the kind of proud posture that is unique to the victor.
There was silence in the Xianyang Palace for a while, and a courtier stood up, bowed down and said, "What my king said is extremely true. In ancient times, the five emperors were only thousands of miles away, and whether the princes surrendered or whether they came to the dynasty was not up to the princes. Now my king is raising volunteers, punishing the remnants of thieves, pacifying the world, and leveling the four seas. The law can rebuke the people, and order one man, which has never been done since the beginning of time, and who is compared with my king? ”
"What Ting Wei said is extremely true!"
This courtier, named Li Si, was born in a Legalist family and won the favor of Yingzheng.
Whether he stood up and spoke, whether it represented Yingzheng's thoughts and didn't say it, just in terms of facts, no one could refute it.
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction!
If you want to say that you can observe words and looks, and if you want to figure out your own thoughts, there is indeed no one in the court who can compare with Li Si.
didn't speak, quietly waiting for Li Si to continue. There was a faint feeling that Li Si would be able to say words that satisfied him.
Li Si said: "The minister once discussed with the doctors that in ancient times, there were emperors, emperors of the earth, and emperors of Thailand, among which the emperor of Thailand was the most noble. The minister risked death to admonish and add my king to be called 'Thai Emperor'. At the same time, in order to distinguish the ancient system, in addition to the emperor's name, our king should also create his own title. If the minister risks death and admonishes again, my king should call himself 'I', and others are not allowed to use it again. At the same time, the order was changed to 'system', and the order was changed to 'edict', I don't know if it is possible? ”
The hall was full of civil and military affairs, and they exchanged heads and ears to discuss Li Si's words.
After pondering for a while, Ying Zheng suddenly coughed lightly, and in an instant, there was no sound in the court, and everyone's eyes were staring at Ying Zheng.
Turning around, Ying Zheng looked at the dragon wall carving of Duke Wen behind him, and said in a deep voice: "What Ting Wei said is very much in line with my intentions. However, the name of 'Thai Emperor' is still difficult to distinguish from the ancient system. I think it's most appropriate to call the Three Emperors and Five Emperors together, and now change the king's name to the emperor, how about it? ”
Many people gasped.
Three emperors and five emperors together? Emperor?
This is a title that has never been called before, and it also shows the ambition of the three emperors and five emperors of Ying Zhengyue.
Li Si stood up again, "My Emperor's Holy Order!" His Majesty is both a virtuous and a third emperor, and he has made meritorious contributions to the five emperors, and the title of 'emperor' is well deserved. The minister risked death and asked His Majesty to be the title of 'First Emperor'. Only in this way can it be shown that everything begins with our emperor. I beg your Majesty, the title of First Emperor! ”
The First Emperor?
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Tingwei said well, the emperors start with me, and the future generations are counted by numbers, the second, third, and even ten thousand generations, and the transmission is endless." Only in this way can I show my merits...... Li Si, what he said is good, he should be rewarded! ”
"Minister, thank you!"
Li Si threw himself to the ground and thanked Yingzheng.
Immediately after, the courtiers of the hall prostrate on the top of the main hall, shouting the words of 'My Emperor's Holy Order, Great Qin Qianqiu', echoed in the sky above Xianyang Palace.

"Oh no, no!"
Cao Wuxian stumbled into the small courtyard, and saw that Liu Kan was moving his muscles and bones, so he stepped forward and grabbed Liu Kan's arm, "Have you heard, have you heard of it?" ”
Liu Kan's body bones have recovered a lot, and most of the injuries on his body have been closed.
Naked and only in panties. Barefoot, with his head scattered, crackling and whipping at the bamboo stakes erected in the courtyard.
Covered in sweat, when Cao Wuxian grabbed Liu Kan's arm, Liu Kan instinctively unloaded. Cao Wuxian only felt that his hand slipped, and then he was reflexively restrained by Liu Kan, his arm seemed to be twisted by iron tongs, and Cao Wuxian, who was in pain, shouted wow, and said continuously: "Let go, let go!" ”
Liu Kan let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Lao Cao, why did you lie at home for a few days and become a girl, so you can't help beating?" ”
", don't you look at it, how strong do you have? That is, I, called Aqina boy, can't be crying a long time ago...... However, I don't see Ah Qi appear much these days, what is he doing? You two are sneaky, what are your plans? ”
Before the words fell, Cao Wuxian felt that his head was knocked hard.
Tengdi grinned, turned his head and was about to be angry, when he saw the look of annoyance on his face, "You just said, who has become a girl?" ”
"Ahh
Liu Kan couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't chew your tongue, chewing your tongue will be struck by thunder!" ”
Judging the food and said, "What the hell? I have something very important to do...... Hehe, I'm going to join forces with Ah Kan to make money, and Lao Tang is also making money, ready to do a big job. I've been running every day for the past few days, not to mention, I really found a good place. ”
"Make money?"
Cao Wuxian pursed his lips, turned his head and said, "Ah Kan, do you want to emulate that merchant?" I advise you not to do it...... With your good martial arts, you will get ahead sooner or later. My old man also said that the county magistrate is very fond of you and often praises you in private. ”
Liu Kan just smiled, and did not say anything wrong with Cao Wuxian's words.
"Lao Cao, what happened to you just now when you were crying wolf? The leg injury isn't good yet, but don't get any worse! ”
