July of the 37th year of the First Emperor.

The national mourning system written by Li Si spread like the wind from Chenshi to Xianyang Palace at a very fast speed, and then spread to Xianyang City, Neishi County, and the forty-six counties of Kyushu until Daqin, and the world was Susu.

After placing Yingzheng's coffin, I ascended the throne in front of the spirit under the witness of hundreds of officials in Xianyang City, and it was for the second emperor of Great Qin: Yingfu Su!

————

August of the 37th year of the First Emperor.

Taishi and the ministers agreed on the day of Yingzheng's burial and the selection of a new emperor to ascend the throne, and the hundred officials kept vigil for 27 days.

————

September of the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor.

The new emperor held an enthronement ceremony, sacrificed to the temple of heaven and earth, and congratulated hundreds of officials. I, Ying Fusu, officially became the second emperor of Great Qin!

————

On the first day of October in the 37th year of the First Emperor.

The Great Dynasty will be changed to the first year of Qin II.

The small pilgrimage will begin.

Lan'er helped me tidy up my clothes, and looked at myself in the bronze mirror, I looked a little dazed. These three months can be said to have experienced all the ups and downs of Fusu's life, and as a 996 social animal, I have also experienced this vicissitudes of life.

I secretly said in my heart: 'Fusu, Fusu, I have avoided the fate of suicide, I don't know where you and I will go!' ’

got up and walked towards the Xianyang Palace, and Lan'er watched me and Ling Qiwan, the middle and middle school scholars, walk out of the Four Seas Palace.

When I arrived at the Xianyang Palace, looking at the princes in the palace, the unreal feeling struck again, until Li Si, Feng Quji, and Feng Zai led the hundred officials to salute together, and shouted in their mouths: "Ten thousand years for the emperor, ten thousand years for the Great Qin!" "I just came to my senses.

After sitting down, I slowly spoke, "No courtesy, sit." ”

Everyone spoke in unison: "Emperor Xie." ”

I looked at the crowd and said, "Today is the first court meeting since I ascended the throne, and it coincides with the annual court meeting, and I have a lot of things to discuss with you. ”

"First, in order to show respect for the former emperor, from now on, everyone who calls 'emperor' refers to the former emperor, and the word 'Your Majesty' is used for the title of me. What do you think? ”

Everyone said in unison: "Your Majesty is benevolent and filial!" ”

"Second, the time for the burial of the former emperor has not yet been decided, what do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Li Si saw that no one spoke, so he took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum has not yet been completed, and the emperor's burial time can be set for the next year, and the decision will be made according to the progress of the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum." ”

I pondered for a moment: "There is some truth in what Li Xiang said, what do other people think?" ”

Li Si was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that I didn't agree with his words, he muttered a little in his heart.

What Li Si said is reasonable, after the death of Yingzheng in history, Hu Hai has been building the Lishan Mausoleum after he ascended the throne, and it is still under construction until the outbreak of the uprising at the end of Qin.

After that, some people made suggestions, but they were much the same, and I nodded and did not speak.

When the rest of the people saw my attitude, they didn't dare to speak rashly for a while, but Feng Quji still had an expression of an old god and didn't speak.

When I saw the performance of the crowd, I said, "The matter is serious, and I will discuss it later." ”

"In my past contacts with all kinds of people, I found a few talented people and wanted to include them in the court. One is Zuo Colonel Ling Zhang Han, who has some military talents, and I hope that he will be trained in General Meng Tian's army, and his official position will be arranged by General Meng Tian according to the situation. ”

After Ying Zheng's death, Meng Tian rushed back to Xianyang, and the border army was handed over to Wang Li for the time being. ”

"Zuo Xiaoling and the previous general who I was in charge of will be Shaofu, Li Si, you will choose the right person and I will do it."

Li Si naturally said yes.

"The two are the uncle and grandson of Dr. Zhao, and I intend to let him enter the Doctor's Palace and serve as a doctor."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked different, although they had expected that I would reuse Confucianism after I ascended the throne, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Lees was tempted to stand up and oppose it, but he knew that I had just ascended the throne at this time, and it was not a good time to oppose me.

But some people can't bear it.

Lang Zhongling, one of the Nine Qings, ordered He Sui to take the lead in getting up and bowing down and said: "Your Majesty, when the emperor was alive, he had two discussions with Confucian people, but the Confucian people not only could not understand the emperor's good intentions, but also did not know much about the national conditions and people's feelings of my Great Qin, and the proposed policies were contrary to the traditional criminal laws of my Great Qin. Not only that, but Confucianism also slandered the emperor many times, and the emperor had no choice but to expel all Confucians from the court. Now that the former emperor has just died, His Majesty has included Confucian people in the court, and the ministers are afraid that the people of the world will have a slight remark against Your Majesty. ”

I looked at He Sui, this person is also a Legalist, but his relationship with Li Si is not very good. Legalism is also extremely complex and divided into many schools, such as Li Si, although he is a Legalist, but in his early years he was a teacher of Xunzi.

What He Sui said is indeed the truth, as soon as Ying Zheng dies, I will overturn his decision, coupled with my Confucian attributes, may cause some discussions. However, he may not be without selfishness, no matter what, it is not a good thing for them to let Confucian people enter the court.

But Uncle Sun Tong I have to let him enter the court, not only the matter of Confucian education later, there is a big matter at the moment, he will help.

I said slowly: "I didn't go against the will of the first emperor, I just think that this person does have some talents, and besides, he has no objections to my Great Qin's national policy, otherwise the first emperor would not let him stay in Xianyang as a doctor of waiting." I will first promote Shusun Tong to a doctor, watch the after-effects, and then make a decision, what does He Qing think? ”

Having said that, I have saved enough face for him, and at the beginning of his reign, it is not appropriate to clash with these old ministers.

He Sui opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Li Si stood up and said: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, and the minister thinks there is no problem." ”

Then he gave He Sui a look, and He Sui arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty is wise." ”

He Sui and Li Si didn't persevere, but I had a vague feeling that a battle between Confucianism and Legalism might be coming.

Li Si once used fierce rhetoric and strict logic in the debate with Chun Yuyue, instigating Yingzheng to ban private learning and dismiss Confucianism, which shows that he and Confucianism are really incompatible. Whether it is to cater to me or to premeditate other things, at least it does not contradict me on the surface, and I don't think too much about it for the time being, letting Confucianism enter the court is not an overnight thing, and there should be no conflict in a short time.

Later, I made arrangements for some people in the imperial palace, and Meng He was originally my bodyguard, so I appointed him as Zhonglang and followed him to the middle of the sentence; Gong Luzi, as the crown prince, is also a doctor, although he is also a Confucian, but as the chief butler of the prince's mansion, he usually has more contact with the court, but no one objected, and the rest of the people were handed over to Feng Zao to arrange official positions after inspection.

Li Si placed Empress Liang and Yingzheng's other concubines one by one and reported to me. Among them, some people were involved in the funeral, and the number was not large, and I couldn't make more objections to the aftermath of Yingzheng, otherwise it would definitely lead some people to talk about loyalty and filial piety, so I didn't express any objections.

The first day of the court meeting ended without danger, and there was no major conflict with these ministers.

After returning to the Sihai Palace, I carefully considered the matter of large-scale projects and conscription, most of the reasons for the fall of the Qin Dynasty were due to the harsh laws and heavy conscription, and this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be easy to solve it when the uprisings break out in various places, and I wonder if tomorrow's court will be calm.
