Xianyang Hall, court meeting.
After everyone reported their report as usual, I said calmly: "Do you have anything else to report?"
No one answered.
"I have two things that I would like to hear your opinions on."
"First. Since the late emperor unified the world, rebellions have been frequent in the world. He did not hesitate to hold the candle until the end of the day and personally took charge of all the affairs of the Qin army. He worked too hard. However, today the world is stable and the world is at peace. I don't know much about marching and fighting. Therefore, There is an urgent need to establish the post of Taiwei. Can you recommend a suitable person?"
Li Si stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend Zhang Han, the captain of the army guard. Zhang Hujun has been fighting in the north and south for several years, and he knows the north and south of the Qin Dynasty very well. The supervisors of the Qin army and General Wu's cavalry of the Qin Dynasty are all Zhang Han. It is a great responsibility to manage the army as a whole."
Feng Jie then said: "I second the proposal. Zhang Hujun is familiar with battle formations. He has experience in commanding troops and planning troops in the past. He will definitely be able to take on this important task."
When everyone saw it, the two prime ministers agreed. How could they express their dissent? They all agreed.
I nodded: "It's very much what I want. Zhang Han, from today on, you are the Taiwei. Don't let me live up to my expectations of you."
Zhang Han stood up quickly, cupped his hands and said: "I am sincerely frightened, thank you Your Majesty!"
I smiled slightly: "Okay. I also want to give you a marriage. You should prepare for the wedding when you go back."
Everyone is envious. The emperor granted me a marriage. Whoever gets this honor is not the emperor's most trusted person and will surely rise to the top in the future.
Zhang Han was stunned on the spot. His Majesty asked him just a few days ago, why did he grant him a marriage so quickly? The key is that I don’t even know who my wife is, which is very difficult to handle.
Seeing that he hesitated to answer, Qi Liang next to him thought that Zhang Han was carried away by excitement and was more anxious than Zhang Han, so he quickly poked him and whispered: "Zhang Hujun, please thank me!"
Looking at Zhang Han's appearance, I smiled and said, "Why, are you afraid that the wife I have chosen for you will not be satisfactory?"
Qi Liang thought I was angry, and sighed in his heart: "Brother, please agree quickly and don't annoy His Majesty. Otherwise, as a lieutenant, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the palace!" '
On the one hand, Qi Liang was thinking about Zhang Han. After all, he and Zhang Han got along well. Although they were not brothers, they got along day and night and could be considered friends. On the other hand, he naturally had his own selfish motives.
Zhang Han was promoted, and as usual, the people below him would be replaced step by step. Yuchi is the right guard of the army and a close confidant of mine. There is no doubt that he will be promoted to the captain of the guard. As for him, he was the Left Guard and had never done anything wrong. His promotion to the Right Guard was almost certain. If Zhang Han offends me and withdraws his orders, then he will naturally have no chance of being promoted to the right guard army.
Zhang Han didn't know what Qi Liang was thinking, so he held it in for a long time and said helplessly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
I laughed secretly in my heart and decided to tease him. I said with a solemn expression: "Zhang Han, I don't force others to do anything. I brought it to you today. If you are unwilling at all after reading it, I will immediately withdraw the order."
Without waiting for his reply, I waved my hand: "Qi Wan, call this person up."
After a moment, a slim, average-looking woman walked in without daring to raise her head.
The ministers were talking a lot. Seeing that she did not belong to a wealthy family, and they had never seen such an unmarried daughter from any official family, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.
'Could it be that His Majesty was afraid that Zhang Han would become a Taiwei and get too close to aristocratic families, threatening His Majesty, so he just found an ordinary home for him? '
'It seems that the position of Taiwei still makes His Majesty somewhat afraid. '
When she came to sit down, someone had already taught her the etiquette in the palace. The woman bowed and saluted: "I have seen your majesty, your majesty, for ten thousand years!"
Everyone in the hall shook their heads, and no one recognized him.
Looking at Zhang Han again, he was already frozen in place. He would not forget the mole on the woman's neck. With this name and the mole, he had the intention to step forward and have a look. However, due to the rules of the court, he could only raise his head. He gave me a startled look.
I smiled slightly: "No courtesy. Lin Xiao, turn around and raise your head."
Lin Xiao slowly turned around, raised her head, and immediately saw Zhang Han who was staring at her in astonishment. She instantly recognized the person in front of her, but she still couldn't believe her eyes, and said with slightly red eyes: " You, are you Zhang Han?"
I smiled and said, "How about it, Zhang Han, are you satisfied with the marriage I gave you? If you are not satisfied, I will take back what I just said."
Zhang Han still didn't know my intention, so he cried with joy and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Zhang Han will never be able to repay Your Majesty for your kindness and kindness in this life!"
I waved my hand and said teasingly: "Okay, I will allow you to take a day off. You can go back and rekindle old friendship."
I didn't expect to find this woman so easily. After Zhang Han told me that day, I asked Meng He to look for her carefully, but unexpectedly she found her so quickly. Moreover, this woman was never married and had been looking for Zhang Han. I couldn't help but sigh, there is true love in the world. The two of them were only in their teens when they separated, and now they have finally achieved enlightenment.
Everyone probably understood what was going on, and they couldn't help but feel horrified: Your Majesty is really good at this. Actually, I didn’t think much about it. I just felt that people working for me were just looking for someone, it was just a matter of convenience.
After the two of them left, I continued: "Zhang Han was promoted to Taiwei, and Yuchi was made the captain of the guard army, Qiliang was the right guard guard, and the left guard army was inspected by Yu He and reported to me for a decision."
Yu He cupped his hands and said yes.
"The second thing." I glanced around the people in the hall, and Li Si and Feng Jie's hearts tightened: "It's about Hu Hai!"
Everyone was stunned.
Since the emperor's death, Hu Hai has never stepped out of the palace. Now, has your majesty finally remembered this younger brother who was deeply loved by the emperor and was used as an excuse for rebellion?
"In the second year, I met Hu Hai and Mrs. Zheng when I was in the harem. Hu Hai told me that he was quite bored in the palace. Mrs. Zheng also told me that she hoped to return to Yongcheng to live."
The second year of Qin II? It was the year of the Bai To Rebellion!
Return to Yongcheng to live? Except for the descendants of the Ying family who have been living in Yongcheng, who would want to go back to live in that cage-like old capital?
I continued: "However, Yongcheng is not suitable for living. Mrs. Zheng is the wife of the late emperor, so I must fulfill my filial piety. Hu Hai is twelve years old now, and he should have his own place. I would like to make Hu Hai the Marquis of Che and Li, Shiyi Li County, granted Mrs. Zheng the title of Concubine Li."
"In addition, since Mrs. Zheng feels that the palace is oppressive, I will allow her to live in Li County. As for Hu Hai, he is my younger brother. He is still young. If he leaves the palace, he is afraid of being harmed by evil people. He will stay in the palace for the time being. After being crowned, he can choose to build the Lihou Mansion in Li County or Xianyang. What do you think?"
silence.
No one dared to speak out.
A very few people suddenly thought of Ying Zheng and what happened in Chengshan...
