The first year of the First Emperor (i.e. 220 BC), winter month.
Raindrops as big as date stones fell, and in an instant, the entire Doctor's Palace was enveloped in a hazy state.
This is the first rain since the beginning of winter in Xianyang, and the rain is very heavy.
Carriages appeared in front of the Doctor's Palace despite the pouring rain, and crowds of people were seen walking up the steps.
Whether they were veterans of the empire, princes, grandsons, or doctors, there was a lot of rain on their robes, making the corridor in front of the doctor's palace very wet.
"Today's political discussion may be as fierce as this heavy rain!" Wang Wan, standing in front of the palace gate, looked at the rain curtain in the distance and said with emotion.
"Old Prime Minister, there is no need to worry. We have already made complete preparations and will never let you down." Zhou Qingchen, who was standing behind Wang Wan, stepped forward with a smile.
Wang Wan glanced at him sideways, then put her hands behind her back and said, "I hope so!"
After saying that, he glanced at the crowd again and found that Li Si, Wang Bi, Meng Yi, and Feng Jie were not here. They were probably having a small court meeting again.
A dignified prime minister of an empire was actually excluded by the emperor. To say it was not sad would be a lie.
Fortunately, there was a familiar and weak figure in the crowd, which caught Wang Wan's attention.
He was seen standing beside Fusu silently, not communicating with anyone, in a trance, as if he was alone in the world.
"hehe."
Wang Wan smiled for no reason, then strode towards Fu Su and Zhao Hao.
At this time, Zhao Hao was still thinking about whether his small attic would leak due to such heavy rain.
If rainwater leaks, will it flow into the tunnel and flood it?
If it floods, how do you get the water out yourself?
If it comes out, how can it be discharged without anyone noticing?
However, before he could come up with anything, Wang Wan greeted him with a smile: "I have met the eldest son, Mr. Hao."
"Um?"
Zhao Hao was stunned when he heard Wang Wan's laughter, and quickly followed Fusu in return: "Fusu, Hao, I have met the old prime minister."
"You two gentlemen, there is no need to be polite!"
Wang Wan smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Zhao Hao and said: "A few days ago, Gongzi Hao discussed the unity of thought in the Doctor's Palace. It was quite novel. I agree very much. I wonder if Gongzi Hao has a solution? "
Zhao Hao: "..." Is it so direct? What would I do if I told you? Are you just waiting for my father to kill his son and become a tyrant? You're heading north!
Fusu: "..." Old Prime Minister, although we are in the same group, this time, I am with my brother Hao! Don't worry, we are sure to win this round. Even if we don't win, we will be hung on the wall by the people if we die, my brother Hao said!
Wang Wan: "..." What's going on with these two boys, why don't they say anything? And this look, why does it feel wrong?
"Uh... Well, you two gentlemen, it's cold outside, let's go in!"
Seeing that neither Fusu nor Zhao Hao spoke to each other, Wang Wan felt annoyed and awkwardly raised his hand to signal them to enter the Doctor's Palace.
"Thank you, old prime minister."
Fusu and Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, turned around and walked in without saying anything.
Similar situations abound in the corridors. Everyone wants to get something out of each other's mouth, but since they live in a temple and some of them are fuel-efficient lamps, they each enter the Doctor's Palace with a haha.
Not long after, Ying Zheng brought his 'small group' to the Doctor's Palace and sat down one after another.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Hao subconsciously pursed his lips and ate his snacks without looking at Ying Zheng.
"Brother Thirteen, what did you eat?" Hu Hai's voice came suddenly.
Zhao Hao frowned slightly and said casually: "Fried melon seeds!"
"Fried melon seeds?" Hu Hai tilted his head: "I've never heard of it. I want to eat it too. Give me some!"
"Aren't you afraid of damaging the reputation of the son of the First Emperor by eating melon seeds when discussing politics?"
"Thirteenth brother is not afraid, so what should I be afraid of?"
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes at Hu Hai: "You are different from me. I can't hold myself up to the wall, but you are a young prince who is full of favors!"
Hearing this, Young Master Gao couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Hao is really funny!"
"Yes, Brother Hao is all mud, so who are we, mud?" Gong Ziliang joked.
"Hahaha!"
All the princes and grandsons burst into laughter.
Hu Hai was angry and unhappy, complaining and muttering unpleasant words such as "brothers are not friends".
At this moment, a cold shout suddenly came: "Quiet!"
When the princes, princes, and grandsons heard the shouting, their necks shrank, and they quickly straightened their bodies, pretending to be nonchalant.
Zhao Hao let out a 'hehe', smiled and shook his head, thinking that they are a bunch of cowards, then he picked up the melon seeds and was about to put them in his mouth, when he felt a murderous gaze and a 'swish' stab, and he couldn't help but tremble all over.
He knew who was looking at him without looking at him, so he carefully put the melon seeds into his sleeves and lowered his head obediently.
"snort!"
Ying Zheng snorted and turned to look at Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao understood the idea, bowed slightly, then stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree. Now that the discussion has begun, everyone can speak freely without worrying about being guilty of speech!"
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
As soon as Zhao Gao finished speaking, Li Si stood up first.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly, raised his hand and said, "Come on!"
"promise."
Li Si made a promise, then picked up the slip on the desk and read: "My lord, Tingwei Li Si is here to invite your Majesty to provide you with ten items of state affairs!"
"First, determine the regulations; second, change the civil name; third, collect the soldiers of the world; fourth, unify weights and measures; fifth, unify the carriage tracks; sixth, unify the written documents;
7. Unify the currency; 8. Legal household registration; 9. Legal taxes; 10. Migrate the world's noble families, wealthy families, and wealthy businessmen to Xianyang! "
"good!"
Ying Zheng applauded the case and couldn't help but admire: "Ting Wei thinks more carefully than I do!"
"These matters were all agreed upon by the minister and several colleagues. Related matters, as well as various statutory regulations, are entirely up to His Majesty's decision!" Li Si bowed.
Ying Zheng nodded, looked around at the ministers, and said, "Do you have any objections?"
"this......"
Everyone in the hall looked at each other and was silent for a moment. They all bowed their hands and said, "I have no objection!"
They wanted to express their dissent, but the emperor expressed his opinion in public, so it was useless for them to have any dissent.
And these political affairs have nothing to do with their interests.
It’s just casual.
"Okay, then after the imperial meeting in February, we will announce it to the world as a whole!" Ying Zheng said decisively with a flick of his sleeves.
"I obey the decree."
Li Si responded and sat down upright.
Zhao Hao glanced at him in surprise and said to himself that the First Emperor's achievements that were immortalized in history were actually planned by Li Si, and he was indeed worthy of being a famous minister throughout the ages.
You know, later generations praised the First Emperor for building the Great Wall, writing books with the same text, chariots with the same track, unifying currency, and weights and measures.
This is a landmark move for the land of China that is different from the land of Europe.
Without the First Emperor to unify these, future generations would probably be in a situation similar to that in Europe.
However, it can be seen that Li Si was reused by the First Emperor not without reason.
While Zhao Hao was pondering, Wang Wan stood up, holding a scroll of letters, and shouted loudly: "Old minister Wang Wan, risk your life to ask your majesty to implement the enfeoffment system!"
As soon as this statement came out, the officials were surprised and talked a lot.
Just as the censor in front of the palace took the memorial from Wang Wan and held it in front of Ying Zheng with both hands, Zhou Qingchen suddenly stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Sir, Doctor, the palace servant shot Zhou Qingchen and risked his life to report to your majesty, seventy-three doctors Please jointly request the revision of the "New Qin State Governing Ceremony"!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!
