General Qin

There are different opinions on the title of emperor.

Zhao Tuo knew the answer in his heart, and he sat and listened to the dog-headed military divisions under his command to offer advice for the king's title.

Those weird emperor titles made him want to laugh. If the emperor titles that Li Shiqi, Heiyu and others came up with had merits, then the ones that Zhong Limei, Xi Qigu and others came up with were somewhat different. Not on the table.

Fortunately, this matter has a lot to do with it. The title of emperor is the supreme title that matches the achievements of the king, so there must be a lot of checks.

Although His Majesty ordered many ministers, ministers, counselors, and doctors to discuss, not all of them were able to personally advise His Majesty.

It is after the first and second trials of the corresponding supervisors. Then all the ministers will report to the king on the court that Qin Wangzheng will make the final judgment, and decide the highest title representing the ruler of the Qin Empire.

Early this morning, Zhao Tuo and Shejian changed their court clothes, and Zhigui wanted to enter the Qin Palace to participate in today's grand court meeting.

At the gate of the palace, they just met Wang Ben who got off the carriage.

"Meet Captain Bon."

The two hurried forward to salute.

Although Zhao Tuo has the same title as Wang Ben now, he is a junior, and he was Wang Ben's subordinate when he attacked Wei, and Wang Ben still had the position of a state captain, but Zhao Tuo is a high-ranking noble without any position. What do you think? They are all a head lower than Wang Ben, so they must treat each other with respect.

"It turned out to be Zhao Shuzhang and She Zhonggeng."

Wang Ben smiled, but he was not arrogant, and returned the gift, just walking into the palace gate with the two of them.

He asked: "Master Zhao Shu has always been alert and has won the favor of the king. I think he can understand the heart of the king this time about discussing the emperor's title."

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "Your Majesty's feat of annexing the world is rare in the world. Even if you search your brains, it is difficult to find an emperor title that can match your feat."

Wang Ben said indifferently: "Your Majesty's achievements in unification are indeed so great that it is difficult to match. In the Wei's Mansion in Wunabang, a group of officials discussed for several days, but it is difficult to find a distinguished title that can match your Majesty's."

"Instead, I heard that a good emperor's title was discussed at the doctor's palace. Even the prime minister, doctor censor and Ting Wei agreed after hearing it. Today, they probably want to dedicate the emperor's title discussed by those doctors to the king. , maybe it can make the king's heart happy."

Zhao Tuo's heart moved, this time about discussing the emperor's name. In the court hall, the prime minister, doctor Yushi, Bangwei, Shaofu, Zhisu Neishi, etc., and high-ranking people like Zhao Tuo can all express their opinions.

Now the prime minister, doctor censor and Ting Wei have joined hands to approve the title of emperor discussed by the doctor. It seems that the title of emperor is indeed extraordinary.

While Zhao Tuo was thinking, Wang Ben said casually, "By the way, Zhao Shuchang was twenty years old last year, right?"

Zhao Tuo hurriedly replied: "What Bang Wei said is that Zhao Tuo was twenty years old last year."

"It's the age to be crowned and married."

Wang Ben nodded, looked at Zhao Tuo with a slightly deep look, and said casually: "The eldest son is also at this age. According to ancient rituals, he should have been crowned last year. But last year when the war was fierce, the king postponed it." Come down, the world will be unified this year, and I think there will be no further delay in this matter. After being crowned, it is time to marry a wife. Sigh, I really envy Tingwei."

Wang Ben said something to himself, then shook his head and sighed again.

Zhao Tuo was taken aback for a moment, but then he came to his senses.

This is Wang Ben reminding him.

Fusu will be crowned this year, after which he will marry a wife.

Wang Ben's words of envying Tingwei are equivalent to reminding Zhao Tuo that Fusu's wife is likely to be the daughter of Li Si.

Zhao Tuo blinked. If Fusu was Li Si's son-in-law, would the conspiracy in the sand dunes in history still happen?

After being surprised by the news, Zhao Tuo also thought that the reason why Wang Ben said these words was probably because he knew about the affairs between himself and Li You, so he revealed the news in advance.

"Thank you, Lieutenant Bang."

Zhao Tuo saluted.

Wang Ben waved his hand, said nothing more, and walked out of the hall with the two soon.

Carols were sung in the hall.

After the music stopped, the audience members led the ministers into the hall and stood in line.

After a while, Qin Wangzheng walked into the hall with mighty steps.

He sat on the God's couch, his face flushed slightly, which showed that his mood fluctuated naturally.

"Meet the king!"

"Thousands of years, king!"

Zhao Tuo saluted with Zhu Qing.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Wangzheng played his usual style and went straight to the topic.

"The widow is in the same universe, and the king is in the world. When the name is changed, it can be said to be successful and passed on to future generations. In the past, the princes were ordered to discuss the emperor's name, and today they can be reported."

Qin Wangzheng suppressed his mood and spoke in a deep voice. He looked at the officials in the palace, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

Regarding the matter of the emperor's name, Qin Wangzheng, as a strong and domineering monarch, would not have his own ideas in his heart, and even had an answer long ago.

The reason why he asked the ministers to discuss the emperor's name with great fanfare is that he wanted to treat this matter as the most important matter of Qin State, so that all the ministers and bureaucrats of Qin State would be busy and thinking about this matter, and let the entire Qin State Everyone is looking forward to his emperor title.

Only in this way can it appear grand.

Secondly, he is looking forward to whether there will be someone who is close to him in his mind among his officials.

Can someone understand his mind?

At this time, after the king's voice fell.

The Right Prime Minister Kui Zang coughed twice, and joined the Zuo Prime Minister Wang Wan, the Yushi Doctor Feng Jie, and the Ting Wei Li Si to share the honorary title.

"Your Majesty raised up righteous soldiers, punished remnant thieves, and put the world under control. His achievements have been unprecedented. It has not been done since ancient times, and even the ancient emperors can't match it."

"The ministers would like to discuss with the doctor: In ancient times, there were emperors, emperors, emperors, and emperors of Thailand. The emperor of Thailand is the most expensive."

"The old ministers and others died with the honorary title, the king is the "Taihuang". The order is the "system", the order is the "chao", and the emperor calls himself "Zhen"."

King of Thailand!

As soon as these words came out, those ministers in the palace who still had the title of emperor in their hearts and wanted to please the king were all shocked.

Zhi Su Nei Shi Wang Wu's eyes were wide open, staring at Kai Zhuang and others, silently swallowing the name "Bai Di" that he thought of in his heart.

What a group of old guys, after thinking about it for so long with the officials in the mansion, they have been spinning around on the word "Emperor".

Unexpectedly, these people have already mentioned "emperor", and besides the title of emperor, they also made out all the names of the emperor, such a complete list of names can not be compared.

The other ministers also frowned, feeling that the name they had in mind was weaker than this "Emperor of Thailand".

Zhao Tuo raised his brows, and secretly said that it was so.

Those doctors are the most familiar with the classics, knowing that there are three emperors before the ancient emperors, and they are all legendary gods and sages.

According to the public opinion, the older things are more noble, so the emperor is higher than the emperor, and the emperor is higher than the king.

Now they skip the word "Emperor" and directly choose the title "Emperor", but they are better than "Emperor" in style.

No wonder the Prime Minister and Doctor Yushi agreed on the title of emperor after communicating with each other.

However, on the emperor's couch, Qin Wangzheng just nodded slightly, but did not intend to make a decision right away.

King of Thailand.

sounds good.

But for Qin Wangzheng, the word "Huang" is too ancient, and the person he refers to is even a legendary figure such as Fuxi and Nuwa, which inevitably seems a bit illusory.

Qin State is a pragmatic country, and Qin Wangzheng is a person who values ​​practicality.

Compared with the word "Huang".

"Emperor", a title with a strong political color in today's era, is more in line with his wishes, so the edict issued directly stated the three characters "Yi Di Hao".

Of course, these are secondary.

The important reason why he was really dissatisfied with this "Emperor of Thailand" was because this honorary title had existed since ancient times.

He Qin Wangzheng put down the world, and his great achievements have been unmatched since ancient times.

For such a great achievement, it is necessary to use a unique title.

He Qin Wangzheng is the only king in the world.

His emperor title should also be a unique title in the world.

His title of emperor will be unprecedented and unprecedented!

Therefore Qin Wangzheng nodded slightly, his eyes moved from the expectant faces of the two prime ministers, he looked at the ministers in the palace and said: "Do you have any other suggestions?"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers immediately showed joy on their faces.

The king did not recognize the title of "Thai Emperor" on the spot, which proved that they still had a chance.

After the prime minister and the royal doctor, he is naturally respected by Bang Wei.

I saw Wang Ben speak: "My minister thinks that our Great Qin conquered the world with a strong army, so we can use the honorary title of 'Wu' and the title of 'Emperor Wu' to fully display our great Qin's military power."

After Wang Ben, other ministers also opened their mouths to offer the names they and their subordinates came up with.

White Emperor, Qing Emperor, Black Emperor...

Some people even had an idea on the spot, thinking that the reason why Qin Wangzheng was dissatisfied with the "Taihuang" mentioned by the prime minister was because he liked the title of "Emperor" and hurriedly changed the title of Emperor he originally thought of, and honored the title of "Emperor" .

Qin Wangzheng frowned slightly, glanced at the man, saw that it was the Shaofu, one of the nine ministers, and by his expression, he already knew what the other party was thinking, and couldn't help feeling dissatisfied in his heart.

He doesn't like this kind of trickster.

"After the widow proclaims himself emperor, the ministers in the court should also change, and the position of the young mansion should be selected from another talented person."

Qin Wangzheng's face was indifferent after listening to the emperor's title presented by the ministers.

These imperial titles are either ancient or vulgar, which really makes people dissatisfied.

His gaze finally fell on the young man in the hall who had been standing there with a smile on his face, quietly watching Zhu Qing's offerings.

"My lord, all the ministers have already spoken, I wonder if you can discuss the title of emperor for me."

All the ministers in the palace quickly turned their heads to look at Zhao Tuo.

There are still a few elders in the main hall, but everyone knows who Qin Wangzheng is calling.

"This son has always been loved by the king. I wonder what emperor name he can name?"

Hearing the call of the king, I felt Zhuqing's eyes on me.

Zhao Tuo knew that he had no choice but to speak up.

There are countless civil and military officials in the court, but he is the only one who knows the king's intentions, which is really troublesome.

Zhao Tuo said loudly: "I heard that the three emperors in ancient times were no more than the leaders of the ancient clan, and their territory was no more than a hundred miles away. The five emperors were no more than a thousand miles away, and the outer princes obeyed the barbarians and the princes, whether they were court or not, they could not control them. Now the great king Xingyi Soldiers, punish remnants and thieves, bring order to the world, the whole country is divided into prefectures and counties, and the laws and regulations are unified, which has never happened since ancient times, and this is beyond the reach of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors."

"I think that the great king's virtue is combined with the three emperors, and his achievements surpass the five emperors. Neither the single emperor nor the title of emperor can match the achievements of the great king. Only the combination of the three emperors and five emperors can catch up with the great achievements of the great king."

When Qin Wangzheng heard this, his heart was already surging.

That's it!

The Three Sovereigns and the Five Sovereigns are all ancient figures, so how can the widows be allowed to use the names they used to use.

How can the Three Emperors and Five Emperors deserve to be compared with widows?

According to what Zi Zi said, only the combination of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors can be compared with others!

Qin Wangzheng stared at Zhao Tuo with piercing eyes, to see if he could name him.

When Zhao Tuo arrived here, he also took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "It is the old minister who thinks that the title of great king can be... the emperor!"

Emperor!

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall, and all the ministers looked at this young elder with strange eyes.

"This kid's flattery is so terrifying!"

Ting Wei Li Si's eyelids twitched.

He originally thought that the flattery skills of those doctors in the doctor's palace were very strong. They jumped out of the word "emperor" and used the ancient title of "emperor". Will agree with the prime minister and doctor Yushi.

Who would have thought that at such a young age, Zhao Tuo would be so bold as to use the sum of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to propose the title of "Emperor".

Emperor.

Just hearing this name, I feel very powerful, which is better than what everyone said.

On the emperor's couch, Qin Wangzheng raised his brows lightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, he was right, only Zhao Tuo, the youngest in the whole palace, was the closest to his heart.

Proposed a unique title higher than the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns.

However, the title of "Emperor" was slightly different from what he had in mind.

This made Qin Wangzheng heave a sigh of relief while feeling relieved.

He hopes that someone can understand his mind, but he also does not hope that someone can see through his mind.

If Zhao Tuo really said the name that Qin Wangzheng came up with in public, it would make Qin Wangzheng feel a little jealous.

You can figure out the emperor's heart, but if you really figure it out, you are not far from death.

Han Feizi said: Tao is in the invisible, but it is used in the unknowable.

If the thoughts in the monarch's heart are clearly seen by the ministers, then the ministers will have treacherous intentions and do things like "kill their lord and replace them".

This is something Qin Wangzheng absolutely cannot tolerate.

So this time, discussing the emperor's name is also a kind of test.

This is the art of kings and ministers.

The situation like Zhao Tuo's, which is the closest, but can't be understood, makes him feel the most comfortable.

At this time, Zhao Tuo saw Qin Wangzheng's calm face on the emperor's couch, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He knew the answer, but he couldn't say it.

That title must be proposed by Qin Wangzheng himself.

It's okay for him to take the opportunity to flatter, but how dare he say that answer first.

Sure enough, Qin Wangzheng smiled and issued an edict.

"The widow ordered all the ministers to discuss the emperor's title. Only the emperor's title presented by the elder Tuo won the hearts of the widow. However, the "emperor" is quite illusory, so he used it as a decoration to adopt the ancient "emperor" position. No., the title is 'Emperor'. He agrees."

emperor!

Zhao Tuo raised his head and looked at the king on the emperor's couch.

Sure enough, the king already had the answer in his mind.

He wants to be emperor!

The first ever emperor.

After Qin Wangzheng's words fell, he didn't stop.

He also wants to take this opportunity to abolish a certain system that he has always disliked in his heart.

At this moment, the tall body stood up from the emperor bed.

He spoke to the courtiers in the palace with a domineering and majestic voice.

"I heard that in the ancient times there were titles but not posthumous titles, and in the Middle Ages there were titles, and posthumous posthumous titles were given by deeds after death. If this is the case, sons will judge their fathers, and ministers will judge their emperors. It is very meaningless. I can't take it."

"Since now, the posthumous posthumous law has been removed. I am the first emperor."

"Later generations can be counted, from the second generation to the third generation, and to all generations, it will be passed down endlessly!"
