On the way back, I said to Li Si: "Prime Minister Li, I would like to accept Maodun's peace proposal and wait until the flintlocks and bombs are ready before we can completely solve the Xiongnu problem. What do you think?"
Li Si thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, if the power of that flintlock gun is as powerful as Your Majesty said, I think it's okay."
I turned around and said, "Zhang Han?"
Zhang Han agreed: "I have no objection. Although I did not go to test the bomb that day, judging from the descriptions of Your Majesty and the Prime Minister, just the mass production of bombs was enough to scare the Huns!"
I nodded: "Follow me to the Sihai Palace. I have something to tell you."
Then he opened the car curtain and said, "Go and summon Feng Jie and Yu He to Sihai Palace."
Not long after, several people took their seats in Sihai Palace.
I also made them a pot of tea first.
Feng Jie, like Zhang Han, drinks everything like a cow. Li Si and Yu He tasted it a little bit.
"Your Majesty, the tea brewed here has a unique fragrance. It seems to have the effect of refreshing the mind?" Yu He put down the cup and thought carefully.
I nodded and introduced the effects of tea in detail: "Not only can it refresh your mind, but it is also good for your health. Long-term drinking can strengthen your spleen."
Li Si asked curiously: "Who presented this to His Majesty?"
"I bought it from Ba Shi. I asked Geyue to give Ba Shi the right to mine tea. The porcelain is also matching. How about helping her promote it?" I took the opportunity to advertise. The mountains and forests all belong to the imperial court. Now Taoyao's tea business is solely owned by Xie Ziba.
Yu He nodded: "Not only is this tea delicious, but the way His Majesty makes tea is also pleasing to the eye. I will buy a set when I return."
Li Si also nodded in agreement.
Zhang Han and Feng Jie then agreed. Since this thing can be recognized by His Majesty and Li Si, and even people like Yu He who don't know how to flatter are full of praise, it seems that they really have to study it seriously...
Feng Jie smiled heartlessly and said: "Your Majesty has shown great kindness to Ba family."
I glanced at him and replied: "Ba family is loyal to the imperial court, so naturally I can't let them feel cold."
Then he put down the cup and straightened up: "I have two things to discuss with you."
When the four of them saw that I was about to talk about something serious, they immediately became serious.
"The first thing." I looked at a few people and said slowly: "I am ready to establish a queen."
Several people were startled, why did they suddenly want to establish a queen?
Li Si said carefully: "Your Majesty, do you mean to choose a queen?"
I was noncommittal: "What do you think about me establishing a queen? In other words, who do you think I should choose as my queen?"
Feng Jie did not shy away from it: "Your Majesty, the queen must be a role model for women in the world, be virtuous and virtuous, and be knowledgeable and sensible. Of course, she must be favored by your majesty."
Several other people probably meant the same thing.
I nodded: "Where is your background?"
Li Si felt a little nervous. He didn't get a positive answer to his words just now. There is a big difference between establishing a queen and choosing a queen.
Yu He did not think as much as Li Si thought, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the etiquette and law do not stipulate the origin of the queen. As long as she is a scholar or a farmer, and her origin is innocent, it is fine."
I glanced at Yu He: "What about the business registration?"
understood.
The four of them looked at each other and had a guess in their minds. As the four people at the top of the Great Qin power pyramid, they naturally would not close their eyes and be blind. They had long heard that Taoyao and I were very close.
It's just that he still has to do it in a superficial way. Li Si organized his words: "This is not impossible, but I'm afraid it will attract criticism."
Using three synonyms in one sentence, it seems that Li Si still has an idea.
I don’t want to go around in circles anymore. It’s tiring to talk like this: “After I am crowned, I will make Taoyao my queen. We have already discussed it with Taoyao. In the next two days, I will let Ge Yue change Taoyao’s registration to a peasant. Ba Shi’s Except for those towns in Xianyang, all the property is dedicated to the imperial court."
Speechless.
As Yu He said, no one in the Qin Dynasty stipulated the queen's origin, as long as it was not a lowly one.
I glanced around and said with a calm expression: "If you don't speak, I will treat you as if you have no objections. If anyone in the court objects, I hope you can stand up."
Regardless of their bitter melon expressions, I continued: "The second thing is, after I am crowned next year, I will patrol the world."
The four of them had not yet recovered from the shock of having Tao Yao as their queen, and were stunned again.
Something is wrong with what Li Si thinks. Establishing a queen and patrolling the world, these two things make my decision to wait for the development of the flintlock gun to deal with the Huns, which seems not so normal.
It's over, the Hunjun attribute has exploded!
Seeing a few people stunned, I continued: "No objection? You can leave."
The four of them walked out of the Sihai Palace in a vain manner until they passed through the huge square in front of Xianyang Palace and arrived at the gate of Xianyang Palace. Li Jie saw that the four of them were like zombies, their eyes were dull and uniform, and he cautiously stepped forward to ask. One sentence: "How many adults?"
Only then did the four of them wake up.
Yu He patted his head and said blankly: "Your Majesty...were you joking just now?"
Li Si was a little confused. After entering the palace, not only would his daughter lose the chance to become a queen, but she might also gain a foolish king?
"Probably not?"
Feng Jie blinked his eyes hard, as if to confirm whether he had drunk too much last night and still hadn't woken up. When those words kept echoing in his mind, he said blankly: "Should we go back?"
Zhang Han came to his senses, looked at the three of them and said with a guilty conscience: "But we have just promised to support His Majesty in these two matters...maybe it is too late?"
Zhang Han is very loyal to me. He is not against me marrying Taoyao. After all, he himself married Lin Xiao, a businessman. Besides, when it comes to touring the world, Ying Zheng has been there five times, so it’s not a big deal. Just thinking about it carefully, I always feel that something is wrong!
Li Si shook his head and muttered: "No, I have to go find Zong Zheng, this won't work..."
Li Si walked away in a dazed manner. The three of them were at a loss as to what to do. They glanced at each other and hurriedly followed Li Si's pace. They all have this feeling. There's nothing wrong with this, it's just something weird...
In front of the palace gate, only a confused Li Jie was left messy in the wind...
Sihaidian, I was lost in thought while playing with the cup in my hand.
I know that the four of them were shocked by the two pieces of news at once and did not have time to organize a verbal rebuttal. When they come to their senses, they will definitely find a lot of reasons to prove that I am not suitable to make Taoyao the queen and should not be here. At this time, he patrols the world.
Then they might go to Ying Wu. After all, the only person with enough weight to persuade me now is Ying Wu.
But how would Ying Wu view this matter? Especially when he made Taoyao his queen, he made it clear that day that Taoyao could not be his queen...
I put down the cup, no longer thought about it, and rubbed my swollen head.
"Qiwan, take it."
