The first great court meeting after the unification of the Qin State ended, and the entire Xianyang City was a sensation. One king is cut in half, and one king abandons the city.

This matter is very amazing, if it is put in the past, it will definitely attract the attention and discussion of the Qin people. But now, except for some people who used it as a talking point after dinner, the other Qin people all put their minds on another big thing.

The Emperor! When the Qin Dynasty issued an edict to the emperor. Negotiating the emperor's name for the king has become the most important thing in Xianyang today, and even in the entire Guanzhong, and in the entire Qin State.

The nobles, nobles, and doctors who were qualified to negotiate the imperial title for the king either buried themselves in hard work, or looked through ancient books and collections, in a vain attempt to find a more noble imperial title for the king from the ancient slips.

If the emperor name you come up with is adopted by the king. That is not only Emperor Jian's heart, but also will be famous through the ages, so that all generations of Qin people will know whose mouth this great emperor name comes from.

The benefits of this matter are so great that they can make the eyes of many ministers red, and they stir their brains and meditate hard for this.

Li Fuzhong. Captain Li Sigao sat in the main seat, with a plate of roasted golden crispy wheat cakes in front of his eucalyptus, flanked by peeled oranges and bean sauce.

Li Si reached out and pinched a clove of oranges, dipped it in the sauce first, and put it in his mouth. With the other hand, he picked up the wheat cake and took a bite, feeling the wonderful taste of the three foods in his mouth, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed.

Below, sat his two sons, Li You and Li Yu. At the moment, the two of them are expressing their opinions on the matter of the emperor's name.

"The Zhou system is in decline, and there are five hegemons coming out one after another."

"The hegemon, the princes, the world, the prestige is better than the Son of Heaven. In the past, Qin had Mu Gong, who dominated Xirong. After that, seven kingdoms fought against each other, fighting endlessly, fighting for world dominance. The so-called struggle for hegemony is the hegemony of this hegemon. ”

"Now, Qin Xing is domineering, and he is in peace. Since it is for hegemony, why don't you call it 'overlord' in the name of hegemony? Li You spoke in a deep voice, with a resolute face and blazing eyes, and first put forward his opinion of the emperor's name.

"Overlord?" On the side, Li Yu frowned, shook his head and said: "What my brother said seems to be reasonable, but the overlord is the 'uncle' of the past." The name of Fang Bo, under the Son of Heaven, with the title of Ba as the emperor, I am afraid that it is not enough to show the dignity of the king, and he has been suppressed by the Son of Heaven of the Zhou Dynasty. ”

"In my opinion, Qin Zhixian, although Mu Gong was the hegemon, the middle way declined, the public office was in turmoil, and he was defeated by the Wei State. It was not until Shang Jun entered Qin and Qin practiced the rule of law that he changed his declining trend, dominated the Seven Kingdoms, and annexed the world in the east. ”

"If the law is law, then Qin will not prosper." Speaking of this, Li Yu stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and said with a smile: "So why don't you call it 'Emperor of Law', so that it can also show that my Qin State is a country ruled by law?" Father, what do you think? Li Yu was radiant and looked at Li Si expectantly.

"The French Emperor?" Li Si, who was on the main seat, heard the name that his neutron came up with, his eyelids jumped, and he almost choked on the wheat cake in his mouth.

Compared with the eldest son Li You, who loves military battles, he is willing to go to the battlefield to fight and make meritorious contributions, and seek military merit and wealth. His neutron Li Yu, like him, likes the study of criminal names, is a Legalist classic, and he also takes the road of Legalism.

So Li Yu proposed

The name of "French Emperor" is to have careful thoughts. Li Si couldn't help but shake his head. This kid's brain is spinning fast, but he's still too young.

As soon as the name of "French Emperor" came out, people could see at a glance what he was planning in his heart. The French Emperor. The law is above the emperor, how can the king allow it?

Although Qin is strong by law, now the king of Qin does not necessarily only use Legalists. Law is just a tool used by the emperor to govern the country.

Li Si couldn't help but think of the seventy doctors newly recruited by Qin Wangzheng. Among these doctors, there are disciples of famous scholars, yin-yang families, and legalists, but more of them are Confucians.

His doctor's servant Zhou Qingchen is a Confucian person, and there are other Fu Sheng, Chun Yuyue, etc., all of whom are Confucian disciples.

Even Qin Wangzheng had asked people to recruit Confucius's eighth grandson, Kong Kun, to come to Xianyang to face the king, but Kong Kun was pushed away by Kong Kun on the grounds of mourning, and only sent disciples to come to visit.

These things made Lees feel threatened. Although Qin Wangzheng recruited these Confucian scholars, it is likely that he was trying to decorate the façade, but Li Si could not relax his vigilance.

Especially today's Zuo Prime Minister Wang Juan, who is quite friendly with Confucianism. If those guys use Wang Juan's power and doctor's position to influence the king's thoughts, then it will be a big problem for them who worship the law.

Therefore, he wanted to use the killing of the three kings to deter the other party. This is a good opportunity, Qi Wangjian is located in the land of Qilu, quite good at Confucianism, kill it, and can also sue those Confucian students, this Qin State is the world of his Legalist, and show the prestige of his Legalist.

As a result, this matter was dissuaded by Zhao Tuo.

"Zhao Tuo is very favored by the king, and it is easy to advise the king, so he should not conflict with him." Li Si squinted, revealing Zhao Tuo, who was politically talented, made him feel a little threatened, but now compared to Zhao Tuo, there was a more important enemy that Li Si needed to deal with.

Confucianist. …… Doctor's Palace. Seventy wise men gathered together to discuss the matter of the emperor's name.

"In the past, Qin and Qi were both powerful in the world, and the two kings called each other emperors, Qin was the Western Emperor, and Qi was the Eastern Emperor. It can be seen that Qin has the intention of claiming the emperor by region. Now that the King of Qin rules the world, why don't you call it the 'Middle Emperor'? "A doctor quoted the matter of the former Emperor Qi and Qin and launched it

The name of "Middle Imperialism".

"The Middle Emperor?"

"Is it inappropriate, in my opinion, maybe it can be called Emperor Yu, or Emperor Yi?" The other Dr. Longbeard immediately rejected the other man's proposal, and came up with two names in one go.

put forth

The doctor with the title of "Emperor Zhong" suddenly frowned, and asked: "What are Emperor Yu and Emperor Yi, and what is the origin?" Dr. Long Beard stroked the long beard under his forehead and said, "I checked the classics and knew that the first of Qin was the former Boyi. ”

"Emperor Bo Yifu Zuo Shun tamed birds and beasts and was appointed to the post of 'Yu', the so-called 'Yi Zhu Yu, Shan Ze Pi' is also."

After that, Boyi left Dayu to control the water. Before Dayu's death, he wanted to Zen to let the world and Boyi. It's a pity that it was seized by the son of Dayu by force, and there was a Xia Hou family. ”

"Therefore, the world was originally owned by Boyi, and now Boyi's descendants, the descendants of the surname Ying will retake the world, which is a thing that has been destined since ancient times."

"The ancestor of chasing the Qin emperor's industry, the ancestor of the surname, is Bo Yiye. It is better to respect the name of Boyi and call it 'Emperor Yi'. Or take the position of Boyi as the name, called 'Emperor Yu', which can also be called the Mandate of Heaven! ”

"Emperor Yi, Emperor Yu? Not noble enough! "The wise men fought again for the title of emperor. Everyone wanted the emperor title they had drummed up to be adopted by Qin Wangzheng and become the name of the lord of the world.

Therefore, they all belittled the emperor name taken by the other party, and at the same time boasted that they came up with it, and for a while, all the doctors quarreled and drooled.

Zhou Qingchen frowned when he heard this. Seventy doctors, seventy mouths, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of emperors came out.

Each quoted scriptures and classics, and the competition was inextricable, so that he was also very helpless as a servant. Zhou Qingchen simply turned around, wanting to get out of the Doctor's Palace and go out to breathe.

At this moment, he saw a young man in the corner of the school palace, looking at the doctors who were red-faced and red-faced, with a smile on his face, and there seemed to be disdain in the smile.

Zhou Qingchen raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and shouted: "Uncle Sun Tong, all the doctors are thinking hard about the emperor's name, you are a disciple of the Kong family, you must have high opinions, you can talk about it." "Shusun Tong, a disciple of the descendants of the Kong family.

Because his teacher Kong Kun pushed back the Qin Wangzheng expedition, but he was afraid that Qin Wangzheng would be angry and blamed, so he asked his disciple Uncle Sun Tong to come to Xianyang to be ordered.

However, I don't know if Qin Wangzheng was angry in his heart, or because of other reasons, this uncle Sun Tong was not appointed as a doctor, but for the doctor to be edicted.

That is, those who are waiting to be appointed to the doctorate can only be counted as reserves. Because this uncle and grandson Tong are disciples of the Kong family, Zhou Qingchen is quite concerned about him, and now seeing the abnormal expression on this young man's face, he can't help but be curious, so he asked.

Hearing Zhou Qingchen's question, Shusun Tong hurriedly said hello. He hesitated for a moment, then said: "I heard that before the ancient emperors, there were still three emperors as honored, called the emperor of heaven, the emperor of the earth, and the emperor of Thailand. Looking at the merits of King Qin today, it is beyond the reach of the ancient emperors, so it is better to take the word "emperor" as the number, so as to show dignity. ”

"Emperor?" Emperor. Emperor of the Earth. Thai Emperor. Zhou Qingchen blinked, feeling that the pattern had opened up. …… It is the same as other places such as the nobles and the doctors' palaces.

Today's mansion of Zhao Tuo, the chief of the Great Palace, is also a gathering of talents to jointly contribute to the emperor's title.

Although Zhao Tuo had long known the answer to the emperor's name, it was one thing to know, and the process in the middle was another.

Now the people of the whole Xianyang are meditating hard for the emperor's title, and the various ministers and officials meet all day long to discuss, and various small meetings are continuous.

He, Zhao Tuo, naturally can't lag behind, and he has to hold a meeting with his military colleagues to discuss this matter. In this way, it can be seen that he Zhao Tuo put the emperor's name in his heart, and tried his best to think about it.

At this moment, the lights in the house are long. Zhao Tuo sat on the top and looked at everyone in the mansion with a smile on his face, he also wanted to hear what names these dog-headed military advisors under his command could come up with.

The people are Shi Jian, Li Shiqi, Li Shang, Black Buttocks, Xi Qigu, Zhong Liyi, Lu Juan and other old subordinates.

Among them, Li Shiqi took his younger brother to successfully settle in Xianyang, becoming a glorious resident of the imperial capital, and buying houses and land in Xianyang City.

Now it is Li Shiqi, the most cultured person under Zhao Tuo, who tells everyone about the ancient affairs of the Qin State, so as to find the source of the emperor's name.

"Qin Zhixian is the grandson of the Miao descendant of the emperor, and he is called a female cultivator. The female cultivator weaves, the Xuanniao falls the egg, the female cultivator swallows it, and gives birth to a great cause. The great cause gave birth to a son and a great name. Big and gave birth to a son, said Da Lian ......" At this point, Lu Juan was the first to burst out of inspiration and shouted: "So big? It seems that the ancestors of the king all liked big characters, otherwise they would be called the emperor! Lu Juan said excitedly: "How good is the word big, it turned out to be the king, and after being called the emperor, he was called the emperor, the meaning is simple, mighty and domineering!" "The Great?

On the main seat, Zhao Tuo blinked. He felt

The name "The Great" seems to have been called by someone in history. Lu Juan's voice fell, and Zhong Liyi said on the side: "Since it is called big, it is better to use the word Tai." Too much, the biggest of the big. How about being called the Emperor? Zhong Liyi's face was red, he was from Chu.

The supreme god that the Chu people believe in is Taiyi, and he takes the word Tai as the emperor, so he has his careful thoughts. Taidi.

Doesn't it sound good? When Li Shiqi finished reading the deeds of the ancestors of the Qin State, everyone came up with the best

"The Great" and

"Emperor", Lu Juan and Zhong Liyi are still arguing about this. Li Shiqi turned his head and said to Zhao Tuo, who was joking on the main seat: "Chief, recently I got acquainted with a fellow villager in Xianyang, he was born in the Yin and Yang family, and now Xianyang and all the Yin and Yang disciples have deduced the five virtues for the Qin State, which has been quite fruitful, and the contemptible people have heard some news. Why don't you use this to find the emperor? "Deduce the five virtues?

Zhao Tuo was stunned, knowing that this was made by the Yin and Yang family, a kind of thing similar to the Mandate of Heaven, he didn't know much, so he asked: "How do you say the number of five virtues?" Li Shiqi glanced at everyone, and when she saw that everyone was looking curiously, she closed her mouth, and then she showed the secret she had heard.

He said: "Yin and Yang family sayings, in the past, the Yellow Emperor was virtuous, and the Yellow Dragon was introduced. Xia Demude, the green dragon stops in the suburbs, and the grass and trees are lush. Yin has Jinde, and silver overflows from the mountains. Zhou Dehuode, there is a red black charm. Today's Qin Dynasty Zhou is the time of water virtue. In the past, the ancestor of Qin Wen Gong went out hunting and obtained the black dragon, which is the Rui of water virtue, so Qin should be water virtue, which is still black. When these words fell, the inspiration of Xi Qigu came.

He shouted: "Since my Qin State is a water virtue, it is better to be called the 'Water Emperor'!" It's just in line with the deduction of these five virtues! "The Water Emperor?

Zhao Tuo's brows jumped, and he stared at Xi Qigu. How did you come up with this kind of name? Okay, a black buttocks immediately retorted: "What water emperor? It's not domineering at all, since the drunkard said that the ancestor of our Qin State caught the black dragon and is still black, it might as well be called the 'Black Emperor'! Hey, hey, hey! "Black Emperor!

The black buttocks laughed, and his hand habitually pulled at his ass. If the king is called

"Black Emperor", then wouldn't his black buttocks also be able to get naked. Everyone, bring one

The word "black" is there. Zhao Tuo shook his head, looked at Li Shiqi and said: "Since Mr. mentioned the five virtues of the Yin and Yang family, I think I have already thought about it in my heart, I don't know what emperor it is?" Li Shiqi smiled slightly and said: "In my contemptible opinion, since the Qin State is the Rui of Water and Virtue, and it starts from Qin Wengong's acquisition of the black dragon, it is better to take the dragon as the emperor's name." The king should be called ......"

"Dragon Emperor!"
