A night of fun, like a dream. It wasn't until early morning that Zhao Tuo realized that what people often say about women's postures is not false.
According to the procedure after the wedding, in the early morning of the next day, the bride has to take a bath and then go to visit her uncle and aunt, and there is some etiquette between them.
However, Ying Yinman is a princess, so she is very different, and she has no uncle or aunt to get along with. But she still went to take a bath with the help of her maid early in the morning before settling down.
Zhao Tuo was left alone on the couch to reminisce. After being exhausted, he fell asleep without realizing it. I don’t know how long it took, but Zhao Tuo suddenly felt an earache in Mi Mi Lake.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Ying Yinman standing in front of the couch, with an angry look on her pretty face, staring at him with wide eyes, and a small white hand had just withdrawn from his ear.
"I heard that people in the army have to get up before dawn to make food. Why don't you get up? I didn't expect that the great concubine would be so lazy!" Ying Yinman has already washed his hair and body according to the etiquette, and tied his hair with silk. Add hairpins and buns, and the body will be exuded with fragrance.
Compared to the shy girl yesterday, she now looks more like a bride.
"It's not because of you, just one night." Zhao Tuo chuckled. Then she saw Ying Yinman in front of her turn into a red face immediately. She lowered her head, twisted her hands together, and whispered: "It's obviously you, stinky Zhao Tuo." Zhao Tuo glared and said, "Scream." What?"
"My beloved..." The bride lowered her head, her voice becoming more and more shy as she thought about what happened last night. Hearing this title, Zhao Tuo had a bright smile on his face.
…
"Give an impossible reward, princess. I have issued an order of no government and offended all the three armies. Princess, if I send one person to you, I will do it for you. Don't complain. Princess, do it for profit. Don't complain for harm." Li You looked at him. He looked at the art of war on the eucalyptus blankly and murmured in his mouth.
The lights in the house were flickering, and the sun was rising outside the window. There were footsteps approaching outside the door.
"You'er." Li Si opened the door and walked in. Hearing his father's voice, Li You, who was sitting in front of the eucalyptus, didn't even raise his head. He just stared at the slips in front of him.
Li Si sighed. As someone who had been there, he didn't know what was going on with his son.
"You'er." Li Si comforted him: "It's time for you to start a family. There is still a daughter in Wang Ben's family who is waiting to be married. If you are willing, I can find someone to marry you. If you don't want to marry the Wang family's daughter, there is still a daughter. The Xin family, the Feng family, the Yang family, etc. all have girls of the right age..."
"Father!" Li You suddenly raised his head, stared at Li Si in front of him, and whispered: "Don't talk about this anymore. If I, Li You, don't become famous, I will never marry in this life!" Li Si saw that his son's eyes were red and his face was greasy. , surprisingly yes.
Hearing the decisive words from Li You's mouth again, Li Si frowned and consoled him again: "You are now the high lord of Zuo Shu, and you once served as a county lieutenant in Nanjun. You commanded a large army to conquer the southern barbarians and made outstanding military achievements. Your reputation is far and wide, and even your superiors are full of praise for you. How can you talk about being famous without success?" Li You said secretly: "Compared with that person, I am nothing." Hearing this, Li Si still didn't understand. Who is Li You comparing with.
He said angrily: "Shu Zi, you have to worry about just a woman. There are so many women in the world, why do you have to put your mind on this? Have you forgotten the word "pattern"? If you really want to Shang Shang Princess, in two years’ time, I will ask the emperor to beg the princess for you.”
"Father, you don't understand." Li You muttered to himself. He also thought he had seen through it. When his younger brother Li Yu angrily criticized Zhao Tuo's general Princess Shang in front of him, Li Youneng kept his face calm, neither angry nor angry, and even responded with
"Pattern" to teach his brother a lesson. But when this day really came, Li You still found that he couldn't forget it.
After waiting for several years, the beautiful woman became someone else's wife. How could Li You forget this? Looking at his son's appearance.
Li Si sighed: "You are also in your thirties, and you have not yet started a family. If you continue to waste your time like this, are you really going to leave me, Li, without any descendants?" Li You shook his head and said, "My brother has been crowned, and it is time for marriage. At that time, my father should be able to marry him a wife to continue the Li family's heirs. Moreover, my father will be strong in old age and can still take concubines and have children. How can I say that I, the Li family, have no heirs?"
"You!" Li Si's face turned red with anger. Li You lowered his head and looked at the military book on the eucalyptus, looked at the words on the slip, and muttered: "Throw yourself into death and then survive, fall into death and then live." Death, life.
Li You suddenly raised his head and roared: "Father, I want to perform meritorious service on the battlefield. I heard that the road from Shu to southwestern Yi is now planned. I should ask for your order to enter Shu!"
"I, Li You, will lead the southwestern barbarians for the Qin Dynasty!"... Although Princess Changshang is a major event, it is impossible to affect the operation of the empire, especially now that the world has been decided and the six kingdoms' homelands have not yet been digested. There are so many things going on, and the court meeting is held every two or three days.
Zhao Tuo only had a title but no actual position. In other words, he has the right to participate in government affairs, but he does not have to deal with actual affairs.
If you ask the emperor, he can take his new wife out for a pleasant honeymoon trip.
But Zhao Tuo didn't dare. At this important juncture of the establishment of the empire, one major event followed another, and he, Zhao Tuo, had to keep an eye on the emperor on the imperial couch at all times.
When he was in Xianyang, he could still keep an eye on things during court meetings, and he could remonstrate with the emperor on the spot or in private about things he felt were inappropriate.
If Zhao Tuo goes out, it will be troublesome if the emperor slaps him on the forehead and starts some big projects.
Therefore, on the fifth day after his marriage, Zhao Tuo got up from his warm bed early in the morning. After saying goodbye to his bride, he got up to change his clothes, wash up, and go to court.
"Some time ago, I heard that the emperor had plans to connect with the southwestern barbarians. I wonder if it will be announced at today's court meeting? I have to find an opportunity to ask. In addition to the emperor's plan to connect with the southwestern barbarians, based on the emperor's historical character, next I wonder what other major projects will be done?" Sitting on the carriage heading to the Qin Palace, Zhao Tuo secretly guessed in his mind, recalling some of the major events that Qin Shihuang had done in history.
Chidao, now that he has a clue based on his suggestion, it should not be long before the official start of construction.
The Great Wall should be in conjunction with the attack on the Xiongnu. According to the timeline, it is still early. As for Baiyue, it was even earlier.
It seems that Epang Palace has not been repaired in history, so it should be ignored for the time being.
"Next, we should unify writing, currency, and weights and measures. After all, books and texts are often connected to cars and cars. Now that cars and cars are on the same track, it is almost settled and will be promoted nationwide. Several other major events should not be far away. "Zhao Tuo grunted.
As he said, the matter of cars traveling on the same track was decided when the Five Virtues were promoted. Among the five virtues, the virtue of water is black, and its corresponding number is six.
Therefore, after the establishment of the empire, the count of the world must be calculated by six. The length of the talisman and the height of the miter are all six inches, the length of one step is six feet, and the emperor's horse is also six horses, so the distance between the tracks of the Qin State's carriages is also set at six feet.
"No wonder Qin Shihuang wanted to create twelve golden men in history and divided the world into thirty-six counties. Everything was a multiple of six."
"My father-in-law loves Liu!" Zhao Tuo cursed in his heart as he walked into the Qin Palace and greeted the ministers he met along the way.
"I've seen the great concubine."
"The eldest concubine is really becoming more and more heroic." After the doctor was banned from speaking, no one in the court dared to deny Zhao Tuo face. They were all smiling and complimenting him endlessly.
Zhao Tuo returned the favor with a smile until today's court meeting began. Qin Shihuang is still wearing the imperial attire of Qi Xuan, with a resolute face, and every move he makes has the majesty of an emperor.
After he sat on the God's couch, his majestic eyes scanned the officials in the palace. When he saw Zhao Tuo, he hesitated slightly, but soon fell on the others.
The meeting officially began. What happened next was somewhat beyond Zhao Tuo's expectations. During this time, the rumors circulating in Xianyang that the emperor wanted to connect with the southwestern barbarians were not mentioned immediately.
Instead, Qin Shihuang was the first to announce the transfer of the official system in the court. The first is that the Bangwei Mansion, which has always been responsible for Qin's military affairs, has changed.
It seems that due to the sharp decline in military activities after unification, the emperor reduced and changed some functions of the Bangwei Mansion to better gather military power in his hands.
"From now on, the state captain is the Taiwei." Following the emperor's edict, it was announced. Zhao Tuo's eyelids twitched. Taiwei, this extremely famous official title in later generations finally entered the stage of history. It turned out that it was changed by the lieutenant of Qin State.
In addition to the major changes to the imperial palace, Qin Shihuang also transferred the ministers in the court, which was a major change of blood.
For example, the Shaofu, one of the nine ministers, was announced by the government to be transferred out and appointed as the governor of Kuaiji County to become a high official.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After the edict was read out, the former young master immediately smiled from his face and saluted in compliance with the order.
Zhao Tuo glanced at the former young master with some pity. The county guards of the Qin Dynasty were powerful figures in the military and political control. After they were released, they became the real local emperors, and their lives were even more comfortable than those of the ministers in the court.
But that being said, it also depends on where you want to be a county guard. If it was Sanchuan County or Yingchuan County, a prosperous place in the Central Plains, becoming a county governor would be a dream.
But Kuaiji County. Zhao Tuo thought of the land of Wuyue he had visited before, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Wu Didu is slightly better, but the Yue region under the jurisdiction of Kuaiji County is particularly troublesome. You have to deal with those Yue people, which is not an ordinary headache.
"Why did this young man offend the emperor? The last time he discussed the emperor's title, didn't he offer the emperor the title of emperor? How come he was demoted within a few months." Just when Zhao Tuo was mourning for him.
The emperor on the imperial couch announced a new appointment edict.
"Zhao Tuo, the chief concubine, has outstanding military achievements and is a noble honor of the country. He should be a public minister and specially appointed as the post of Shaofu." When the edict of the eunuch came to Zhao Tuo's ears.
Zhao Tuo suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor on the imperial couch. He saw that the emperor was also looking at him.
"Am I becoming a young master?"
