About ten miles away from the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum, Li Si ordered to stop moving forward and set up camp on the spot.
At this time, in the parliament tent.
Li Si sat in the main seat, with important ministers on both sides of the court.
Soon, Zhao Hao brought the four brothers Gongzi Liang to the parliament tent.
Originally, Li Si only invited Zhao Hao, but he didn't expect that Zhao Hao would also bring the four brothers, Young Master Liang, and he couldn't help but frown.
But now that the matter was over, he didn't know what to say, so he slowly stood up and saluted Zhao Hao.
"Old minister, pay homage to the king!"
"My lord, please pay homage to your Majesty!"
As soon as Li Si finished speaking, the other ministers agreed.
If he hadn't known that there was another prince in Da Qin, Zhao Hao would have felt like he was ruling the world.
Maybe this is the test given to him by the First Emperor's father, right?
Zhao Hao sighed helplessly, and then raised his hand to signal: "Ministers, there is no need to be polite. Prime Minister Li is in urgent need of presiding. I just want to listen!"
With that said, he walked to Wei Liao and sat down.
But I heard Wei Liao smile jokingly: "Your Majesty is so majestic. I haven't seen you for more than a year, but my master actually salutes you and calls you the king!"
"hehe."
Zhao Hao smiled noncommittally, and then replied: "Then the teacher is not allowed to marry the senior sister to a disciple and become the Princess of Qin?"
"The kid has a pretty good idea. If you have the ability, you can find her yourself!"
"I can't even see her figure. Where can I find her? Master, you steal my father's fish all day long. Don't think I don't know!"
"Your father is dead, how can you care about those fishes!"
"I don't care, I have to drink fish soup tonight anyway."
"Ahem——"
Seeing Zhao Hao whispering to Wei Liao as soon as he sat down, Li Si, who was sitting in the main seat, was envious and angry. He coughed slightly and interrupted them.
Li Si said with a straight face, "The great achievements of the late emperor surpassed the past and the present, and the funeral should naturally not be left behind. Therefore, the veteran chief minister has drawn up a funeral plan for the late emperor, based on my teacher Xunzi's funeral theory. The elephant's life should be solemn and solemn. The mausoleum is extremely majestic”
"Wait a moment!"
"Um?"
As soon as Li Si finished speaking, Zhao Hao interrupted him. All the ministers looked at Zhao Hao in surprise.
But he saw Zhao Hao sitting upright with a serious expression;
"It's not that I disapprove of the late emperor's lavish burial. It's just that the prime minister buried the late emperor in such a lavish way. Can the national treasury support such a huge expenditure? Also, according to the prime minister's theory of the lavish burial, the Lishan Emperor's mausoleum may need to be expanded, and the late emperor's coffin is parked. Where? Is it possible that the late Emperor was asked to wait two or three years before being buried?"
"this"
All the ministers looked at each other in confusion when Zhao Hao asked these three questions.
Li Si's face was gloomy and he hesitated to speak.
Although he had expected this situation, he was still a little dissatisfied and indignant when Zhao Hao questioned him face to face.
From this point of view, Hu Hai is much more sensible than Zhao Hao.
Because Hu Hai left all major affairs to him, even the parliament did not come to attend.
And Zhao Hao is just a trouble.
Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, Feng Quji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:
"Prime Minister Li has already discussed with us the issue that the king is worried about. The current expenditure of the national treasury can fully support the funeral of the late emperor. As for the expansion of the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum, where will the late emperor's coffin be stored? We’ve already made arrangements, so there’s no need to worry!”
"at last."
Having said this, he paused and then continued:
"Since the Yin and Shang Dynasties, we, the Qin people, entered the west and fought against the Rong and Di for hundreds of years. Our survival was as difficult as that of the barbarians. Naturally, we inherited the tradition of tomb worship. Now, the people of Qin must also go to the tomb of the late emperor to offer sacrifices. Since In this way, how can it be that there is no saying in the late emperor's cemetery that 'the elephant was born'?"
"That's right! Even if we spend all the efforts of the country, we must give the late emperor a generous burial!" Hu Wujing agreed.
The rest of the ministers also said in unison: "If this were not the case, it would not be enough to live like the late Emperor Xiang!"
"this"
Zhao Hao was speechless and couldn't help but subconsciously look at his teacher Wei Liao.
Wei Liao smiled, nodded and said: "The funeral of the late emperor is in line with the national conditions and the time."
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li is proficient in Legalist etiquette, and he is also proficient in Confucian etiquette. This funeral also takes into account the Xun Confucian funeral ceremony, which is a great kindness!" Gongyang dared to stand up and say something.
Zhao Hao looked at Gong Yanggan, then at Li Si, and finally nodded helplessly: "Since all the ministers have no objections, let's follow the Prime Minister's plan!"
Hearing this, Li Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked around at the ministers and said: "The next topic is custom-made sacrifices, with royal and authentic sacrificial rituals. To this end, build a tomb city, use the late emperor's mausoleum as the ultimate temple, and provide generous tributes from all over the world. , take the Temple of the First Emperor as the ancestral temple!”
"Teacher, what did he mean?"
Hearing Li Si's words, Zhao Hao couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wei Liao and asked in a low voice.
The corners of Wei Liao's mouth twitched, and she thought to herself, don't ask me in front of so many people, okay? I can't afford to lose this person!
However, Zhao Hao's every move was in the eyes of the ministers, and he had to explain to Zhao Hao. But he heard him say: "It means that since the beginning of the First Emperor, temple sacrifices and tomb sacrifices have been combined into one. There is no need to go to the tomb of the late emperor to worship, and it is the same as worshiping in the temple!"
"Isn't this unnecessary? Just now, you said that the mausoleum should be made bigger so that people can worship and feel more grand. Now you are doing this?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down!"
Wei Liao was embarrassed by the ignorance of his closed disciple, but he had no choice but to do anything. Because considering Zhao Hao's character, it is normal for him not to understand these Spring and Autumn Etiquette.
After all, who has nothing to do with funerals?
Fortunately, Zhao Hao did not question Li Si again because of his ignorance.
Li Si was relieved and continued on with one topic after another.
It was not until nearly noon that the meeting ended smoothly.
However, just as Li Si and the ministers were about to get up and leave, Zhao Gao walked in with Hu Hai's prince's edict.
But I heard Zhao Gao said loudly: "Ministers, stay here. The crown prince has an edict: the funeral of the former emperor will be very generous. All the precious possessions and treasures used by the late emperor will be buried with him. The concubines of the late emperor's harem, those who have no children, and the daughters who served in the emperor's harem will all be buried with him." from death"
Wow!
The whole place was in an uproar!
It’s okay to bury rare treasures with him. How can this person be used for the funeral of the late emperor?
You know, there were hundreds of concubines and concubines in the harem of the former emperor who had nothing to do. How cruel was it?
Moreover, the late emperor had long said that human sacrifice would be abolished, otherwise it would not be possible to bury him with terracotta warriors and horses!
At the beginning, Duke Xian of Qin made great sacrifices and almost led the Qin country to a place of eternal disaster. Now that the late emperor had made it clear, why did the prince act in such a rebellious manner?
This move is simply ridiculous!
Seeing that all the ministers were filled with indignation, Zhao Hao looked at Li Si silently, wanting to see Li Si's attitude.
Just like the "Book of Remonstrance and Expulsion" back then, he spoke out vigorously.
However, Li Si was as silent as him, which made him feel a murderous intention.
Before that, no matter what Li Si did, Zhao Hao never showed a trace of murderous intent, because Li Si's ending was already doomed.
Now, he has never wanted to kill Li Si so much.
This old thing is damned!
As if he felt Zhao Hao's murderous intention, Li Si frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "May I ask Lang Zhongling, why did the prince rise to death again?"
He obviously didn't ask this for himself, but for everyone present.
After all, the 'martyrdom system' has not been mentioned openly for a long time.
He must have a suitable reason to support Hu Hai.
But Zhao Gao cupped his hands and said: "According to the rules of the previous kings of the Qin Dynasty, after the death of the previous king, the women in the palace can leave the palace and find another way to make a living;
However, the prince felt that it was inappropriate to release the women who served the late emperor to the public; because the late emperor had been controversial before his death, if these women were released to the public, they would most likely reveal the secrets of the palace and be very disrespectful to the late emperor. "
"this"
When the ministers heard the words, they were immediately speechless and felt that there was some truth in it.
However, Li Si did not express his position directly, and turned to look at Zhao Hao: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Human martyrdom is inhumane, and I oppose human martyrdom!"
Zhao Hao gave his opinion in a cold voice without any intention of discussion.
All the ministers looked at each other.
Li Si and Zhao Gao looked at each other, and the latter smiled and raised his hands: "In the opinion of the king, the concubines of the late emperor's harem are unavailable. What should we do with the women who have served the late emperor?"
"What to do with it? The palace is so big, can't it accommodate them?"
"However, when a new emperor ascends the throne, he must arrange new concubines and palace maids."
"Then let's wait until the new emperor ascends the throne!"
Zhao Hao stood up and expressed his attitude again.
When all the ministers saw this, they sighed.
Li Si and Zhao Gao smiled knowingly, waved their hands and said: "Since the king has made this decision, let's postpone the matter for further discussion!"
After that, he announced the end of the meeting and prepared to set off again.
When only the four brothers Zhao Hao, Gongzi Liang, and Wei Liao were left in the parliament tent, Wei Liao came to Zhao Hao in one stride, gave him a scalp directly, and scolded him: "You kid fell into someone else's trick, but you still Don’t know it!”
"ah?"
Zhao Hao rubbed his head, looking confused; "What do you mean by this, teacher?"
"You!"
Wei Liao raised his finger and pointed at Zhao Hao, feeling a little annoyed that iron could not become steel.
On the side, Young Master Liang hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hand to Wei Liao: "What advice does Old Guo Wei have? But there is a problem with Brother Hao's objection to human sacrifice?"
"No!"
Wei Liao shook his head: "It's not that human sacrifice is advisable, but it's not appropriate to oppose human sacrifice at this time!"
"Why? I see that all the ministers are dissatisfied with the sacrifice of others!"
Young Master Jianglu was also a little puzzled.
Wei Liao looked at him, then at Zhao Hao, and sighed: "Although the ministers are dissatisfied with human sacrifice, no one stands up to oppose human sacrifice, because what Hu Hai said is indeed reasonable!"
"There's no reason! That kid is just a bastard."
Zhao Hao muttered disdainfully.
Young Master Gao seemed to have grasped the key point and said in a deep voice, "Old Guowei said that it is not appropriate to object to human sacrifice at this time, and also said that Brother Hao fell into their trick. Why is this?"
Wei Liao said with a straight face: "This meeting was originally designed by Li Si for your brother Hao, mainly to consider his judgment on major political affairs! Because Li Si had previously held a cabinet meeting and wanted this boy to replace your father and patrol. Hunt the world!"
"ah?"
The four brothers were suddenly shocked, including Zhao Hao, who was also a little stunned.
But Wei Liao changed the topic again; "Li Si's proposal was not unanimously approved by the cabinet ministers because King Qin's performance in the Doctor's Palace was very insightful;
Coupled with the prince's previous performance, cabinet ministers Feng Quji, Lao Zheng Guo, and Shaofu Zhang Han all felt that because King Qin stayed in Xianyang, he had the power to supervise the country and handle military affairs for the prince! "
"But the King of Qin's behavior in the parliament played into the hands of Li Si and others. He is no different from the prince, and he doesn't know much about politics!"
"Ah? This"
The four brothers looked at each other with a look of surprise.
However, Zhao Hao said indifferently: "I never thought about dealing with military affairs. Why not go out for a walk?"
"Shuzi is confused!"
Wei Liao said angrily, "How could I teach such an ignorant disciple like you?"
"Oh, teacher! I actually understand everything. They just want to send me away and let Hu Hai wait to become emperor!"
"You, since you know everything, why are you still there?"
Zhao Hao's words immediately put Wei Liao out of control.
But Zhao Hao winked and said, "Teacher, do you still remember the art of war you taught me?"
"Um?"
"If you can't advance into Guo Yu, you can't retreat without pavilion barrier!"
"this"
Wei Liao's heart moved and he suddenly fell into deep thought.
The young master and senior brother on the side looked at Zhao Hao with some confusion.
But Zhao Hao explained: “As the saying goes, there is no way to advance without Guo Yu, and there is no way to retreat without pavilion and barrier;
This means that when defending a city, don’t just focus on defending one city, but start defending from the outskirts of the city so that you have a way out;
If you stick to a city from the beginning, you will have no way out and will eventually be gradually surrounded by the enemy."
After saying that, he slowly walked out of the parliament tent, looked at the Lishan Emperor Mausoleum in the distance, and smiled slightly: "A sage surnamed Lu once said: The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I really want to see them. What does the disappointed look look like?"
The fourth brother, the young master, had just followed Zhao Hao out when they heard these words and couldn't help but look at each other.
At this time, Young Master Liang asked unexpectedly: "Has Brother Hao ever been to the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum?"
"No."
Zhao Hao shook his head and suddenly asked Gong Ziliang: "Has Ninth Brother been there?"
"I do not have either."
"What about Brother Twelve?"
"Brother Nine has never been there, how could Brother Wei have been there?"
Young Master Ronglu frowned and asked, and then said to himself: "When my father was alive, we rarely left the palace. Besides, no one can enter the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum except those whom my father trusted."
"It hasn't been buried yet, why can't you get in?" Zhao Hao said in surprise.
Young Master Jianglu said seriously: "It is said that the burial tunnel is elsewhere, not around the imperial mausoleum."
"this"
Zhao Hao was at a loss for words, thinking that it was no wonder that there were so many tomb robbers in later generations. They dug dozens of holes and couldn't get into Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. It turned out that the entrance to the emperor's mausoleum was not around Lishan Mountain.
In fact, it is normal to think about it. With Li Si's wisdom, it is impossible to think of a wonderful anti-theft method.
After all, nearly three levels of wealth from the Six Nations were buried inside.
If it was stolen, what a failure.
"such a pity!"
Zhao Hao couldn't help but sigh: "I really want to dig in and see if it is the same as the legend, with rivers of mercury, gems and stars."
"Brother Hao, you."
Young Master Jiang Lu looked at Zhao Hao with shock on his face.
"Oh! I just said it casually, why do you still take it seriously?"
Zhao Hao glared at Young Master Jiang Lu angrily.
At this time, I heard Young Master Gao say thoughtfully: "Brother Hao is right, it would be great if we could dig it out."
"Um?"
Now it was Zhao Hao's turn to be shocked.
Ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket!
I will continue to update the leader tomorrow, there is a lot to do today on New Year’s Day! sorry! (End of chapter)
