Chapter 19: The First Emperor Ascends the Throne
After Li Ye returned to Qin from Qi with the 600,000 troops of Qin, he went to the main hall alone.
Ying Zheng sat in the main hall, looked at Li Ye who entered the hall, and said with a smile: "Sang Mo is back?" ”
Li Ye waved to Ying Zheng above: "Your Majesty, you have won...... The territory of these six countries has been completely returned to my Great Qin! The king's wish Sang Mo has been fulfilled. ”
Ying Zheng got up and came to Li Ye's side, helped Li Ye up, patted Li Ye on the shoulder and said:
"With Sang Mo to help me Daqin, I believe that there will be such a day, and Sang Mo has been tired in the past year."
Li Ye nodded and said, "For the monarch to share the worries and solve the difficulties, and fulfill the monarch's wish, Sang Mo has never felt tired!" ”
Ying Zheng smiled when he heard this:
"Hahaha~ Okay! It's so polite to talk to Lonely, if you are not tired, accompany Lone to Yihong Courtyard to relax, it's so boring to be accompanied by Sang Mo~"
Li Ye: I'm just polite, how can you take it seriously?
Then Li Ye saluted and strode out of the hall under Ying Zheng's playful eyes.
After Li Ye returned home, he began to live a lazy life again, drinking tea, repairing trees, petting foxes, and spending a day of salted fish.
On the second day, when the sky was still bright, Li Ye got up, bathed and cleansed his makeup, put on a brand-new official robe, wore a formal official hat, sat in a sedan chair with great expectations, and went to the palace to go to the morning court, he understood that today was destined to be an extraordinary day.
Li Ye came to the front of the palace, and the noisy officials walked together, their faces were all excited, and they were also happy from the bottom of their hearts for the strength of Great Qin.
When the officials saw Li Ye, they all hugged their fists and saluted, and Li Ye had a smile on his face, and they also returned the salute one by one.
In the main hall, after the last dynasty, Yingzheng rewarded the generals of the six countries this time, and Li Yeyingzheng, who had the first merit, did not skimp at all.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Ye, got up and said:
"I'm the Great Qin National Master Li Ye! Lead the troops to fight on the battlefield to calm the troubled times, collect the six countries, and the merit is immeasurable! Today's reward is 10,000 taels of gold, the official is covered with a doctor, and the right is the same as the regent! Its name should be praised by the counties and counties of Daqin! ”
Li Ye and a group of officials heard this......
Hold the grass!
The two words are very decent to show the shock in the hearts of Li Ye and the officials in the palace, Wang Jian and other generals have meritorious service in leading the troops, and they can understand what they are waiting for, the key is that Li Ye's power is a bit too much with the regent......
The regent can be regarded as a real person below ten thousand people, and when the monarch is sick, he acts as the government, and Li Ye's current power can also be imagined.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Ye, who had not moved for a long time, and raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Li Ye still hasn't stepped forward to take the seal?"
Hearing this, Li Ye hurriedly stood up and said:
"Thank you...... Xie Junshang. ”
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, looked at the ministers in the court and said: "Gu has unified these six countries, the king, the king is naturally not worthy of Lone, I don't know if you have any suggestions?" ”
emmm…… I feel that my title is not awesome enough, and I want to be a powerful one, this proposal is reasonable, after all, who would not be a second-class teenager.
Li Ye stood up, raised his hand and said: "Your Excellency, Sang Mo thinks that the monarch's move to unify the world is of great significance, and in addition, it is better to take the word emperor and call the first emperor the first emperor?" ”
Qunjun: Hey! You're a fucking genius!
In ancient times, King Hyun was called "Emperor", and among the three emperors, "Emperor of Heaven, Emperor of the Earth, and Emperor of Thailand", among them, the Emperor of Thailand was the most honorable. Therefore, each word is taken as "emperor".
As soon as Ying Zheng heard the emperor, he thought that this word was very domineering at first glance, and it could match my great achievements, huh...... That's it.
Ying Zheng smiled:
"Hahaha! Li Yeye, who knows me, since the national teacher is chosen by Lone, then Lone is called the First Emperor! Two days later, he ascended the throne as the first emperor and sacrificed to my ancestors of Great Qin! ”
When the ministers in the palace heard this, they all said, "We obey the order!" ”
After retiring from the dynasty, Li Ye was approached by Yingzheng to discuss the troubles of the Xiongnu in the north.
In the end, it was agreed to build the Great Wall, resist the Xiongnu, recuperate, and wait for the Great Qin to be completely stabilized before sending troops to the Xiongnu.
The two days passed quickly, and the officials of the court and the central government, as well as the millions of soldiers in the city, gathered to witness this historic moment.
On the high platform in the palace, Ying Zheng shouted: "I Ying Zheng!" The territory of the world has been returned to the Qin State! Now known as the First Emperor! The country name is "Qin".
And I will build the Great Wall to cover Beihu and town the dragon vein of Kyushu! Defend my Daqin, protect my society! I swear in the name of the First Emperor!
I am here, when I open up the territory and defend the territory, sweep away the four razes, and establish my great Qin foundation for all generations!
If I die, I will also become a dragon soul, and bless my Great Qin for eternity! This oath is evidenced by the sun and the moon, and heaven and earth learn together! ”
"We meet Your Majesty!"
As soon as Yingzheng's words fell, in the palace, the people in Xianyang City all knelt down, and of course, Li Ye was not the exception this time.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng nodded, waved his hand and shouted: "Play Qin Song!" Light the fire! To sacrifice my Great Qin ancestors! ”
A fire burned on the altar, and the flame symbolized the rebirth of the world and the beginning of the history of the Qin Dynasty.
The problem at the beginning of unification was the text, unlike the later dynasties, the Jin script, as the official language, was more consistent.
However, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were regional differences in folk characters such as pottery scripts, silk scripts, and simple scripts.
This situation has hindered economic and cultural exchanges between various localities, and has also affected the effective implementation of the policies and decrees of the central government.
Therefore, for Qin to unify the whole country, writing was the primary issue.
Ying Zheng also ordered Li Si and Li Ye to sort out and unify the text.
Li Ye is also mainly responsible for this troublesome matter, after all, he can understand a little bit of ancient Chinese characters, not to mention the ones that have been circulated in various countries and folk.
Li Si also took the large seal used in the Qin State during the Warring States Period as the basis, and absorbed the advantages of the tadpole script that was common in Qilu and other places, and created a new script with a uniform shape and a simple comparison, called "Qin Seal", also known as "Xiao Seal", as the official standard text, and at the same time, Li Ye also abolished other variant characters.
In addition, a government official named Cheng Miao, who was imprisoned in Yunyang for a crime, summed up a change that had occurred in the evolution of the font during his ten years in prison.
After Li Ye learned about it, he sent someone to release him, and promoted him to the imperial history, and ordered him to "set the book" and formulate a new font, which is the "official book".
And the unification of the written word is of great significance to the whole country.
