"color!"
The edict was issued, and all kinds of things happened in Xianyang.
However, for the people of Lao Qin, they obeyed His Majesty the Emperor's decision unconditionally.
The cheers came one after another.
Compared to the excitement of Li Si and others, the calmness of Wang Wan and others, and the disappointment of the doctors, Zhao Shu fell into a trance and anxiety.
The First Emperor's words shocked Zhao Shu, and at the same time, he felt extremely stressed.
The First Emperor wanted to hand over Qin and China into his hands.
If he were not a visitor from later generations, he might only feel uneasy and excited in his heart. However, he comes from later generations and clearly understands the dazzling brilliance of the Chinese civilization.
It was precisely because of understanding this that Zhao Shu became even more confused and uneasy.
This was the first time he felt afraid in Da Qin.
That bone-chilling chill enveloped him all the time.
As a result, Zhao Shu did not go to the Shangshu Office for several days in a row. Although the local official system had been formulated, he did not present it to the First Emperor.
"Husband, what happened?" Yang Zi looked at Zhao Shu, his beautiful eyes full of worry: "Is there something on your mind, husband?"
"fine!"
Zhao Shu shook his head.
He could just worry about this alone, he didn't want Yang Zi to be unable to sleep either.
"My husband has a worried look on his face, and I even feel fear on my husband's face!"
Yang Zi handed Zhao Shu a cup of wine: "This is a state my husband has never been in before!"
"Madam, your Majesty has summoned you to tell me!"
After drinking the old yellow wine in one gulp, Zhao Shu looked at Yang Zi and said, "If His Majesty lives as long as King Zhaoxiang, then Xiao Chang'an will inherit the throne!"
"If His Majesty dies suddenly like the previous king, then let me inherit the throne and continue the Great Qin Dynasty!"
"ah!"
At this moment, Yang Zi was surprised.
The pretty face was full of surprise. After a long time, he suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and said in a faint tone: "I see, why did my father..."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu couldn't help but look up at Yang Zi: "Madam, what did you say?"
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
As Zhao Shu filled up the old rice wine, Yang Zi also took a sip and said, "My husband is a young genius, unparalleled in the world!"
"Marrying your husband is something that countless women in Da Qin look forward to!"
"I am no exception!"
"However, I know clearly that that is impossible!"
"Because, both I and my husband are from the royal family. Once we get married, public opinion in the world will definitely point towards my father and my husband!"
"My father knows this truth better than anyone else!"
"However, one day, my father told me that he wanted to marry you and me!"
Yang Zi looked at Zhao Shu and said word by word: "At that time, although I was happy in my heart, I also raised questions!"
"At that time, my father told me that it was for Great Qin!"
"It's all just infamy, he can afford it!"
"Thinking about it this way, from that time on, my father had the idea to hand over the empire to you!"
Seeing that Zhao Shu was still a little confused and confused, Yang Zi pondered for a long time, drank the old rice wine, and said: "My husband also understands what my father experienced in the first half of his life. For my father, he has nothing but the empire! "
"Your body is filled with the blood of the royal family surnamed Ying!"
"And I am the continuation of my father's bloodline. Letting little Chang'an succeed to the throne may be my father's last stubbornness!"
.......
At this moment, Zhao Shu fell silent.
Similarly, he also understood the behavior of the First Emperor.
As Yang Zi said, the Great Qin Empire was everything to the First Emperor, and what he wanted was a continuation of his political ambitions.
After silently taking a sip of old rice wine, Zhao Ci said with a faint voice, "Don't tell anyone about this, including Xiao Chang'an!"
"promise!"
Yang Zi's pretty face was solemn, and she also knew how much trouble this news would cause in Da Qin once it was known.
........
After figuring it out, Zhao Shu took a hot bath and brought the silk book to Zhangtai Palace.
"My son, Yingshu, pays homage to my father. Your Majesty, the Emperor, will live forever—!" This is the first time he calls himself Yingshu, and it is also the first time he has spoken of his father.
"Hahaha, you kid finally figured it out?"
Seeing the arrival of Ying Shu, the First Emperor laughed: "No need to be polite, just sit down!"
"My dear father, thank you!"
The First Emperor glanced at Ying Shu and said, "When the situation in the court is clear, I will issue an edict to adopt you as his heir!"
"On top of morality and legality, I will rectify your name!"
"As the saying goes, teachers must be famous, and the empire cannot be in chaos anymore!"
"Father, I..."
At this moment, Yingshu choked up.
Heir!
Generally, adoption occurs only when a man is not married or has no son. In terms of legal status, the heir belongs to the legitimate son and has the right to inherit.
"Boy, I have only one request for you, and that is to protect the Qin Dynasty for me after a hundred years!"
"My son, I must protect the Qin Dynasty for my father!"
At this moment, the only idea of winning is this.
"Has the local government system been established?"
Hearing this, Ying Shu quickly calmed down his emotions and handed the silk book to the First Emperor respectfully: "Father, this is the local official system of Da Qin formulated by the Shangshu Office!"
"Father, please take a look!"
Taking the silk book from Ying Shu, the First Emperor opened it and read it.
"The censor is appointed as the censor, and the chief minister is established. The three elders are abolished, and the township order is also established. The township commander is..."
"Compared to the central official system, although the local official system has not changed much, it has been more profound. In this way, power is concentrated in the court!"
"It's just that I, Da Qin, don't have so many officials at the moment!"
Hearing this, Ying Shu nodded: "Father, so promoting the Shanglin Academy model is extremely urgent for the empire!"
"The five levels of country, county, county, township, pavilion and li will extend the power of the father to the lowest level of the empire. Once, like before, the imperial power will definitely end at the county level!"
"If the imperial power does not go to the countryside, it will be detrimental to the empire!"
"Officials, there will be no shortage of officials in Great Qin!"
Having said this, Ying Shu took a sip of hot tea and said in a solemn tone: "Father, the empire might as well hold the national examination in the imperial court!"
"All scholars in the world can participate!"
"The imperial court will formulate the examination papers, determine the results, and then be released as an official!"
"At the same time, with the promotion of the academy system, in the future Great Qin, everyone will be able to study, everyone will be literate, and everyone will be able to take the national examination!"
"From now on, our Great Qin will no longer be constrained by aristocratic families or hundreds of schools of thought!"
“Great idea!”
The First Emperor nodded slightly: "From your actions in Shanglin Academy, I can see some of your intentions!"
"But you also know that after ten years of war, Da Qin has been impoverished!"
"At the same time, years of war have caused people's livelihood to wither in the Central Plains. The empire's current important task is to restore people's livelihood!"
"The empire simply cannot afford the cost of building a school palace!"
