On February 2, the dragon raises its head.
Today is the day of the great dynasty meeting of the Qin State, and the First Emperor got up before dawn.
At this time, he was being dressed and washed by the palace attendants.
Zhao Gao stood aside, waiting for him quietly.
"Has that kid been honest lately?"
Ying Zheng asked Zhao Gao calmly while being dressed by the palace attendants.
The only person in the entire palace who could be called 'that boy' by the First Emperor was the Thirteenth Prince Zhao Hao.
Therefore, Zhao Gao replied without any hesitation: "Your Majesty, during the recent period, Young Master Hao has gotten up very early every day, studied at Wensi Pavilion in the morning, and went to study with the old Guowei in the afternoon. He has not slacked off for half a day."
"That boy is so honest?"
Ying Zheng said with some surprise.
In his opinion, Zhao Hao could love studying so much unless he saw a ghost.
But Zhao Gao smiled slightly: "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. Young Master Hao has really been studying hard recently."
"Then tell me about his recent whereabouts..."
Ying Zheng frowned and said doubtfully.
Even though he knew that Zhao Gao did not dare to deceive him, Ying Zheng still did not believe that Zhao Hao would be so honest.
But Zhao Gao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, in addition to going back and forth between Wensi Pavilion and Chunan Pavilion, Young Master Hao is also wandering outside the city and in the mountains and fields. He can be seen near Xianyang City!"
"The guards arranged by His Majesty also obeyed His Majesty's orders and protected him secretly. No one dared to come forward to disturb him."
"In addition, Lao Guowei also took Young Master Hao through the streets and alleys in various capacities to experience the suffering and poverty of the people. In particular, he often let him play with the children of Guizhou leaders to exercise his commanding ability..."
Commander ability?
A smile that was not easily noticed appeared on the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth. It disappeared in a flash, and then he changed the subject calmly and said, "How did you go about the things I told you?"
"Um?"
Zhao Gao reacted for a moment and said quickly: "As far as your Majesty is concerned, it's already done. It's one foot wide and two feet long!"
"How's the drawing?"
"With Shang Qing Dunruo personally presiding over it, the craftsmen did not dare to slack off in the slightest. The painting has now been completed."
"good."
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then looked out the door and said calmly: "It's getting late, we should set off."
"promise."
Zhao Gao responded, hurriedly ran outside the palace gate, drove a carriage, and took the First Emperor to Xianyang Palace to host the court meeting.
During the Warring States Period, wars broke out frequently, and major court meetings in various countries were rarely held.
Generally speaking, major national affairs are discussed and decided by the core of power such as the monarch, prime minister, and general, plus several important ministers in the court.
There has never been such a grand court gathering as the Qin Kingdom.
Whenever the Qin State holds a major court meeting, all prefectures, magistrates, and frontier generals must return to the country to attend the meeting.
This great dynasty meeting was the first great dynasty meeting after Qin unified the six kingdoms, so it was of great significance.
Three to five days before the scheduled meeting of the imperial court, officials from various places, as well as frontier generals, arrived in Xianyang one after another.
There are two reasons for their early arrival. One is to respect the king's orders, and the other is to visit their superiors and understand the secrets of the court.
The Qin State has always had strict laws. Since Lu Buwei, the First Emperor did not like guests, and the dignitaries could only follow the example and keep an appropriate distance from officials in various places.
However, there are still some officials who privately mention their own faction.
In addition to officials from various places, generals of the border army, and most of the officials from the Xianyang government office attended this meeting.
The spacious and bright main hall of Xianyang Palace was dark and dark. There were more than 600 people there, making the entire hall seem a bit crowded.
clang--
The bell sounded as everyone waited anxiously.
The First Emperor's imperial chariot fell with the sound of the bell and was slowly pushed into the hall.
He was seen wearing a black jade crown on his head, wearing a golden black robe, and holding the Emperor's Sword. He climbed onto the emperor's throne with steady steps and sat down slowly.
at the same time.
The Minister of Ceremony shouted loudly: "Bow--!"
"I will pay my respects to your Majesty. May your Majesty live forever!"
The roaring sound of worship resounded throughout the entire hall, and the lingering sound echoed with majestic momentum.
After all the ministers had finished saluting, the Minister of Ceremonies looked at Ying Zheng, his expression was unstable, and then shouted: "Sit down -!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, and may the Qin Dynasty live forever!"
The ministers saluted Ying Zheng again and then sat down one after another.
At this time, all the doors and windows of Xianyang Palace were opened, and the dark hall looked particularly bright in the winter sunshine.
Although it felt a bit cold, the ministers could bear it.
After all, there are too many people, and lack of air circulation is also a problem.
For example, who secretly farts and kills a large number of people?
I saw Ying Zheng looking at the ministers and speaking calmly and majesticly;
"With the unification of the six countries, our government has launched a new policy, either enfeoffing the country or implementing the system of prefectures and counties, but there has never been a final conclusion!"
"This matter is related to the long-term plans of our government. I dare not be hasty. I held two political discussions in the Doctor's Palace in the winter moon. I already know the political opinions of the ministers;
I will personally make the decision in today's court meeting. This court meeting will not avoid prejudice, and you can speak freely! "
"My lord, Dr. Bao Bailing dares to ask Your Majesty, what is the plan for governing the country?"
"When the great dynasty discusses its affairs, one should not speculate on the superior's intentions."
Ying Zheng coldly rejected Bao Bailing's probing words.
Bao Bailing retreated.
At this time, Li Si stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"Ting Wei said, come here."
Ying Zheng raised his hand to signal.
Li Si said seriously: "Before your majesty decides on the system of the country, I would like to ask your majesty to update the official system and centralize power for governance!"
"Renew the official system?"
All the ministers couldn't help but be stunned, thinking, didn't they just update the official system? Why update the official system again?
How can this important political matter be a piece of cake?
Just when someone was about to stand up and scold Li Si, Wang Wan stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, I second your opinion!"
What's going on?
Why did the old prime minister even side with Li Tingwei?
The situation in the DPRK has changed a lot!
In fact, Wang Wan and Li Si do not have much conflict, they just have different ideas.
But when I saw Li Si asking for a memorial to update the official system, I guess he read his own memorial.
Since Li Si was willing to sacrifice personal interests for the sake of justice, why not lend a helping hand to him?
But I heard Ying Zheng ask calmly: "What do you ministers think?"
"this...."
The ministers looked at each other, looking at each other.
Ying Zheng's face darkened and he shouted: "The great dynasty is discussing politics, you are living in a temple, how come you don't have any opinions at all?!"
"His Majesty!"
Li Si handed it over again: "The system of Sangong and Nine Ministers was created at the beginning of the new dynasty. The official system was a bit rough and many power agencies were unclear. In addition, the court officials were mainly military officials, which resulted in military overpowering political affairs and was not conducive to local governance."
"Therefore, I believe that on the basis of the system of three officials and nine officials, the official system should be more detailed, cooperate with the integrated implementation of the New Deal, and effectively govern the country from top to bottom!"
"good!"
Ying Zheng clapped his hands and said: "The plan of Tingwei is to centralize power and seek governance, which is very good!"
"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the overall situation of our country. I hope that your Majesty will recruit talents to serve the country." Wang Wan said quickly.
"This is natural. I have decided to recruit talents from all over the world and put them to use by our great Qin!"
Ying Zheng responded with a smile, then looked around at the ministers and said with emotion: "Although the new policy of the Qin Dynasty is full of difficulties, good things are hard to come by. I believe that all ministers can understand me..."
"..."
The ministers were suddenly speechless.
You have said this, what else can we say?
If we go against you, you say we don’t understand you; if we don’t go against you, you say we have no opinion.
It’s difficult!
