After living in the Qin Palace, after Zhao Xiner completed a set of rituals, she was no longer called Zhao Huan, and was officially called the "First Queen". Since she had the same surname as the First Emperor, there was no wedding, only the enthronement ceremony of the empress. She still lives the life of an aristocratic woman, she doesn't need to worry about it, she just needs to enjoy life. Zhuang who came with her was her close minister, and he was in charge of all her affairs in lieu of Ji, and the first emperor gave him the treatment of a secretary and did not hold a position.
Zhengshen sent Shangqing Ganluo to serve Zhao Xin'er. This Gan Luo was originally a guest of Wenxin Hou LΓΌ Buwei, and Wen Xinhou was also a relative in a sense. After the Marquis of Wenxin was implicated in the rebellion of the Marquis of Changxin, Shangqing Ganluo and other disciples were nationalized and returned to the jurisdiction of the righteous gods, and the rest were exiled. Shangqing is a native of Chu and has served in the Qin Palace for many years, so it is most suitable for him to take care of the queen from the Chu State. He is two years younger than Zhengshen, and he is also very upright, and he looks older than Zhengshen. Perhaps, it's just that because Masami doesn't age and always stays in the best condition, it makes people of about the same age look older than Masami.
Yi, who was sent out to worship the mountains and rivers during the meeting, seems to have gone a different way, coming back first, and all kinds of matters have been arranged. Fusu, who was sent out before, also came back, and it was Yi's brother Meng Tian who accompanied Fusu, who originally had the task of supervising the construction of the Great Wall, but now that the materials, money and food are in place, he came back with Fusu. According to Ganro, the name Fusu, also written Fuxu, is a shield on a chariot and a long-lived plant that bears many fruits. As the eldest son, Fusu has to protect the family as a shield, but also live in the world for a long time, leaving more heirs, and the responsibility is very heavy. The lady surnamed Li next to her said that Fusu's name is "Hu Su", which is beard, and Hu Su is the eldest son of the First Emperor and the face of the First Emperor. It's a pity that this child can't obey his father's heart, and even his mother can't say anything.
Although it is said that in Zhao Xin'er's time, the pronunciation of Fusu, Fuxu, Husu, and beard is different, and the pronunciation is the same in this era. Zhao Xin'er feels that the name Fusu has been brainwashed by people as "Fusu in the mountains, and Hehua in Xi." It's easy to misunderstand it as a romance or something. The first emperor of the elder brother that Zhao Xin'er knew was a cold person, who only cared about spiritual love, and would not use the name of the heir to romance. Now that I know the original meaning of Fusu, I should read it according to the original meaning of the name. The meaning of what Mrs. Cheng said feels a little too casual, anyway, Hu Su is also the eldest son, so it seems inappropriate to take such a meaning. Fuxu has not been brainwashed and promoted, and it is not easy to misunderstand, and Brother also said that this meaning is better, so Fusu is Fuxu.
Fuxu is an adult man with a beautiful beard. When I saw him for the first time, Zhao Xin'er felt that what Mrs. Qian said was quite reasonable. But if you decide that it is Fuxu, let's call him Fuxu. Anyway, it sounds the same to him, and there is no need to write his name, as long as Zhao Xin'er herself is not mistaken. Fuxu's strict observance of etiquette is a bit unkind, but he is not a bad person. He is very polite, treats Zhao Xin'er as his mother-in-law, and has nothing to find fault with in terms of etiquette and attitude, not too enthusiastic and not cold. Because it is too perfect, it has a feeling of being a guest, not very close. According to Zhengshen, this child was too deeply poisoned by Confucian culture, so he was thrown to the border to see the Great Wall, wanting him to see the suffering in the world, stop being so impulsive and stubborn, and engage in useless things such as respect and humility and alienation of relatives. It's a pity that the poisoning is too deep to be saved. This kid is too exclusive, and it is harder to convince him than to become a god except to convince him with his faith.
Yi still served by the side of the First Emperor, and he also enjoyed the treatment of Shangqing, and did not hold an official position, which Zhuang was the same as him. He is a literati with a martial temperament, and he can see the bravery of Jiangmen, but he also has the elegance of a nobleman, and he is more suitable to be a messenger to deliver news than to hold a sword. He is very calm and upright, and he also knows Qin Law very well, and he is very compatible with the First Emperor, and he has a high reputation among the women in the palace.
His elder brother Meng Tian is different, he is one of the Nine Qings, holding the position of governing Su Neishi, in charge of grain, grass and materials. He looked like a martial artist, but he was more learned, and he was more suited to be a scholar than to inherit the family business. He is a quiet and polite man who seems to be quiet, but he is free in mind and can create or improve things that he uses regularly. However, he is very delicate, he can't accept his failure, he is easy to give up hope, and he feels a little glassy.
The two brothers are different from what Zhao Xiner saw from the TV series. From time to time, Yi will go to the queen's palace to pass on the instructions of the gods, just like eating together today and watching the moon at night, this kind of activity like sprinkling dog food. Meng Tian has been taking Fuxu with him and teaching him how to manage materials and money. For Meng Tian, who was the same age as his father, the First Emperor, Fuxu did not regard him as his father's minister, but treated him like an elder, respected him, and learned from him.
The mother of the god picked up a strange man on the way back from Yongcheng, and now this strange man is one of the queen mother's close ministers, and it seems to be very favored. When Zhao Xin'er saw him for the first time, she found that it was not the first time she saw him. He is the elder brother Zhao Zheng who has been separated for several months. Zhao Zheng is still the same, with white hair and red eyes, a physique with a refrigeration function and a face like Zhengshen. Now, his expression seems to be much gentler, quite like the male protagonist of a romance novel, and he is very gentle with women, especially the Queen Mother. On the grounds that "Zhao Zheng has the same mother as the queen", Zhengshen rewarded him with all the food of the former Marquis Changxin, called "Marquis Changxin". There are rumors in the palace that "Changxin" and "Changxin" have the same sound, so Zhao Zheng is the successor of Changxin Hou. However, Zhao Zheng himself would not believe this rumor. After all, he and the son of the Queen Mother are of the same origin, even if he is in his current titular status, he can be regarded as the child of the Queen Mother, or a minister or son. As for other people like "Wenxin Hou" and "Changxin Hou", the Empress Dowager's own son can't agree. In history, there have been many sons who killed their mother's lover, and the sons of the Queen Mother have also done this kind of thing. Moreover, the son of the Queen Mother cares very much about people with the identity of "middle father" and "false father", even if he has a good personal relationship, he may be a killer. Therefore, considering whether he can survive here, Zhao Zheng will definitely not agree.
After the ceremony of the first queen Zhao Xin'er's accession to the throne ended, it was the New Year. The calendar used in the Qin Empire, known as the Qin calendar, used October as the first month of the summer calendar, which means that October 1 of the lunar calendar is the first day of the new year of the Qin calendar. On Chinese New Year's Eve, Empress Shi received a osmanthus gift box, and when Zhengshen handed her the gift, she said this:
"This is given to you by the East Monarch of the Moon Palace."
"You can take the things, eat them, use them."
"As for Dongjun, don't have anything to do with him, and don't give him a return gift."
For the entrustment of the righteous gods, Zhao Xin'er will not fail to do it. However, the name Dongjun is very familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere...... Dongjun is the sun god, which was told to him by Ji's father during Xiang's time. This is probably the first time I've heard the name...... No, I seem to have heard it, and I seem to have seen this Dongjun who should be a god...... Before that, a long, long time ago...... There is also the Moon Palace...... How could the sun god be in the Moon Palace? So, where is the Moon God Cloud Jun, who should be in the Moon Palace......
"It's almost winter, and I'm going to be busy again."
"Hmm."
"You rest in the winter, and you'll be busy in the spring."
"I'll try. However, I don't know the etiquette on my brother's side, so if you want to learn it first, you won't be unable to help when the time comes. β
"It's okay, let Zhao Gao teach you. He is our person surnamed Zhao, just ask him about etiquette. β
Zhao Gao is the current Lang Zhongling. During the time I lived in the palace, I met several times, and I also left him for dinner, and he was a very serious and strict person. He was very easy-going, favoring people who were close to the First Emperor, and his attitude towards men and women was the same, even treating the elderly and children equally. As long as he doesn't violate Qin's laws, he is a very good person to get along with, but he is strict with those who break the law, and he is stricter with those who are closer to the First Emperor. He felt that the people around the emperor and the relatives who were related by blood must set an example, the so-called "upward and downward effect." If the people at the top can strictly abide by the laws of Qin, then the people at the bottom will naturally follow suit. As long as you take a good start, you can achieve the rule of Qin law instead of arbitrarily judging crimes based on the selfishness of the monarch or officials.
Judging from the current few contacts, Lang Zhongling seems to be at odds with Shangqing Yi on the First Emperor's side. A person like Lang Zhongling, who has the bloodline of the First Emperor's family but has become an official by virtue of his strength, naturally does not have a good impression of a person like Shangqing who is not a member of the clan but serves by the side of the First Emperor by virtue of his family connections. For Lang Zhongling, people like Shangqing are dispensable, and they can be written on the layoff list at any time. Anyone who entertains the emperor can do it, but officials who do things are indispensable. Prime Minister Li Si also has similar thoughts, after all, he is also an official based on his strength.
"What about the eldest son? Can you ask him too? β
"Fuxu, that's not going to work! The child's mother was married and didn't understand any of this. β
"That's right."
"Why did you remember to ask him?"
"I care a little bit."
"Then tomorrow tell him to bring his women and children with you."
"It's not good, it's usually just a courtesy greeting."
"This kid is so dead-eyed, he was all harmed by Confucius's doctrine."
"The eldest son was not born to me, and there is nothing wrong with strictly abiding by the etiquette law."
"That being said, the person who gave birth to him is serving in your palace, even if he comes to greet you, you should say hello to her."
"Is the eldest son's biological mother with me? Which one is it? I don't even know. β
"It's your lady there. She was born in Qin after the concubine who came with the Empress Dowager Xuan, so she was called Qin Qian. The Queen Mother is also married, and the people who come with her are also counted as Qin people. She used to be a woman who served me, and after she had Fuxu, she moved to her current place and never returned. It just so happens that you don't have a lady here, so teach her to go on top, and you can meet Fuxu more. But Fuxu, this child even has to follow the etiquette law when he sees his biological mother, isn't it stupid to read."
"That's right."
After chatting about homely things, Zhengshen told Zhao Xin'er to rest earlier, left the queen's palace, and began to work on various matters for the New Year.
Zhao Xin'er was also not tired, she let everyone around her go to rest, and thought alone to create an opportunity for Fuxu and Qin Gong to meet. She has seen Qin Qi, and since she lived here, she has taken care of her, and she is a very enthusiastic and good person. The problem is Fuxu, although this eldest son is much older than Zhao Xin'er, he seems to be too old, and he sticks to Zhou rites and Confucian classics, which can be said to be not close to people at all. It's like a robot, with fixed movements, fixed routes, and fixed greetings, and if you don't ask a few words, he won't say anything. Although it is a matter of answering all questions, it is respectful and polite, but it gives people a sense of lifelessness. When they met before, the three ladies were not absent, and his biological mother, Mrs. Qian, was naturally present every time. However, Fuxu didn't say anything, just routinely greeted the queen, and didn't communicate with his biological mother verbally, and didn't even take a second look.
Could it be that there is a discord between mother and son? I remember that the first emperor and the mother dowager also had discord, ignored them, did not communicate with each other, and did not even live together. There are many discords between the mother and son of the princes' families, let alone the emperor.
