"My King for ten thousand years!"
"The Qin Kingdom will last for ten thousand years!"
In Qinzhou City, people have already gathered on both sides of the streets.
Over the years, Xiao Yuan led the soldiers of the Qin army to conquer the south and the north, destroy the powerful Jin, unify the north, and regain Jiangnan. The prestige of such a monarch in his own country can be imagined.
Walking all the way to the palace, when they saw him, the imperial guards all moved in unison and knelt down on one knee.
When they returned to the harem, Zhong Duoduo was still jealous and couldn't help shouting: "I'm going on an expedition and I have to bring back a woman. What a philanderer! Hmph!"
Yun Yuerong's face turned red and she didn't dare to speak.
"Haha." Xiao Yuan laughed dryly. Just as he was about to say something, the female officer Chu Ning walked over quickly and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is waiting outside the study."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned secretly, but he had nothing to do with his prime minister. In the end, he could only sigh, signal to Lu Yunyan, and then walked away.
After he left, Zhong Duoduo still held Lu Yunyan's hand and said aggrievedly: "Sister Yunyan."
"Okay." Lu Yunyan comforted her, first looked at Yun Yuerong carefully, and then said to Chu Ning: "Take her to Yongning Palace to settle down."
"Yes." Chu Ning was dressed in a female official's uniform and bent down with her hands in hand.
Yun Yuerong put her hands on her waist, bowed respectfully, and followed him away.
The palace study.
When Xiao Yuan arrived, Liu Yuzhi was still waiting outside the palace gate, and he shouted from afar: "Prime Minister."
Upon hearing this, the latter quickly turned around and saluted: "Your Majesty."
"Alas." Xiao Yuan sighed, walked to him and said: "My Lord Xiangguo, I have just returned to the capital. To put it bluntly, my butt is not yet hot. What's the matter? Let's push it back. Can’t you push?”
"Your Majesty," Liu Yuzhi said seriously: "I have heard that those who seek the elders of trees must strengthen their roots; those who wish to flow far away must dredge up their springs; those who long for the security of the country must accumulate their virtues and righteousness, and look to the source if it is not deep. The flow is far away, the roots are not solid but the tree is long, the thick is not virtuous and the principles of the country are thought of, the minister may be foolish, but it is worse than the wise..."
"Yes, what the Prime Minister said makes sense." Xiao Yuan felt helpless for a while, stretched out his hand and said, "Let's talk in the study."
"Ah, please, Your Majesty."
After entering the study, Xiao Yuan sat behind the desk. Liu Yuzhi stood underneath and began to pull out the first scroll of bamboo slips from the sleeves of his official uniform.
Xiao Yuan's eyes were just staring at his sleeves. Sometimes he really wanted to open them and see how many official documents could be hidden there.
"This is the latest inspection report from the Tongzhou Drainage Engineering Department. Please take a look at it."
Xiao Yuan took the bamboo slips, unfolded them, and read them carefully without missing a word.
At the same time, Liu Yuzhi stood below and said: "The Tongzhou Canal is the most important water conservancy project in the Qin State. I have detailed accounts of all the royalties allocated by the court. To this day, it has cost a lot. Although the construction is going well, it is only based on the Ministry of Works' approval." Official documents cannot be generalized, but I suggest that important officials should be sent to inspect them."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan also put away the bamboo slips, nodded and said: "For this amount of gold and silver, please send Liu Changqing."
"Your Majesty is wise," Liu Yuzhi said before drawing the second scroll of bamboo slips.
"This is the total amount of taxes in Liangzhou. Please take a look at it..."
"This is the restoration of farming in Huanzhou and the population situation..."
"This is an official document from the Ministry of Household Affairs and needs to be approved by the king..."
An envelope of bamboo slips was respectfully handed to the desk. The cuffs of his official uniform were like treasure chests, containing endless national events.
What could Xiao Yuan say to such a prime minister who cared about the country and the people? He could only cheer up and talk with him in the study for a whole afternoon.
By the time I finished dealing with important government affairs, it was already getting late in the evening.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but stood up and stretched, and said slightly tiredly: "Xiangguo, it's getting late. How about having a few drinks with me?"
"No, no, no." Liu Yuzhi hurriedly waved his hand: "The king has just returned to the capital and is reunited with his wife. How dare you disturb me?"
Do you still know about reunion? Xiao Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "Then you go back, I won't force you to stay."
"Yes, Wei Chen excuses himself." Liu Yuzhi bowed down, and after he left the study, Xiao Yuan arranged all the bamboo slips on the desk before leaving.
At night, the queen's bedroom.
At this time, it was already late at night.
Looking at his wife standing in front of him, carefully undressing him, Xiao Yuan felt warm in his heart.
Lu Yunyan today is somewhere between a young woman and a girl, and is even more attractive than when she was just twenty.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but hug her into his arms, "Yunyan, I miss you so much."
"Liar." She leaned gently on his shoulder and said with some resentment, "What's going on with that woman?"
Xiao Yuan was stunned when he heard this. Facing his wife, he felt a little guilty: "Haha, that was just an accident."
As he spoke, he took off the ribbon around her waist and picked her up.
"Brother Wang..." Caught off guard, Lu Yunyan sighed softly subconsciously, and her pretty face turned red.
After a while.
"Sister Wang, why don't you come up and give it a try."
"don't want."
Her face was crimson. Although she was a woman, she was still so reserved. She refused no matter how many times Xiao Yuan tried to persuade her.
Early morning the next day.
Xiao Yuan was full of energy, wearing royal robes and hanging the sword of the King of Qin on his waist. After arriving at the main hall, all the ministers knelt down and saluted: "I will see you, Your Majesty. I will be your king for ten thousand years——"
"Everyone is safe."
"Thank you, Your Majesty——" People stood up one after another, and then lined up on the left and right.
After sitting down on the throne, before Xiao Yuan could speak, Ding Rong was the first to stand up, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have this to say."
"Speak." Xiao Yuan spoke concisely and to the point.
Ding Rong said: "Since the Zhongping Period, disputes have continued among the countries, and wars have gone on for more than two hundred years, resulting in the depletion of all things, the displacement of the people, and the restlessness of the mountains and rivers."
"And my king, with his great talent and great strategy, led our Qin army officers and men to unify the north, recover the south of the Yangtze River, and unify the chaos in the world. Looking at the annals of history, no one can match such achievements. It can be said to shock the past and the present!"
"Today, I, the Qin Dynasty, have long been arrogant in the world. I sincerely request you, your Majesty, to be honored with ninety-five honors, that is, to be the emperor!"
As he spoke, he knelt down directly on the ground, put his hands on the sides of his head, and raised his buttocks.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi stood up for the second time and quickly expressed his agreement: "Your Majesty, Master Ding is right. Today, our country of Qin is not only proud of the world, and the king is the emperor, but also the support of the people. All the people in the world desire it." After the war ends, everyone desires to live in peace and contentment, and only the king can be the king of this world..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Master Ding and Master Jiang are all loyal and kind..." Dou Jianzhang also stood up.
At this time, other ministers also came out one after another, knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please accept the throne of the emperor."
All the ministers urged him to come in in unison, and a large number of people knelt in the hall.
