General Qin

"The royal family is the county magistrate, the public office is the county magistrate... Wang You is the emperor's tour, Wang Lie is the emperor's hunter, the king's dog is the emperor's dog, and the king's horse is the Chengyu horse... Zhuang Wang is the Supreme Emperor... Guan Neihou is Lunhou, thoroughly Hou is Liehou..."

Zhao Tuo was talking about the edict issued by Qin Wangzheng to change his name after he ascended the throne as emperor, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

In this edict, in addition to replacing the word "king" with "emperor" in the past, and posthumously naming King Qin Zhuangxiang, the father of Qin Shihuang, as the Supreme Emperor, there are also many changes in the names of officials and titles, which surprised Zhao Tuo.

"I thought the county magistrate was only called in the Han Dynasty, and Chehou was changed to Liehou to avoid Liu Che's name. I didn't expect these things to have been changed in the Qin Dynasty. It really is that the Han inherited the Qin system. , not even the name.”

Zhao Tuo sighed and said: "It seems that even if I have the opportunity to be promoted to a noble by meritorious service in the future, I will be promoted to Marquis of Lun and Marquis of Lie instead of Marquis of Guannei and Marquis of Che."

Now it is half a month after Qin Wangzheng officially proclaimed himself emperor.

During this time, the whole of Xianyang was busy.

Including Qin Wangzheng's official proclaiming ceremony, offering sacrifices to ancestor gods, and announcing various matters such as heaven and earth gods.

Although Zhao Tuo had no real job, but as the emperor's confidant, he was also a great contributor to Qin's unification of the world. Naturally, he also had to attend various ceremonies, and he was so busy that he was almost exhausted.

Now things finally come to an end.

The emperor ascended the throne, gave all the people enjoyment, and declared that the world will be drunk for three days.

During these three days, the ban on alcohol was lifted, so that all the leaders of the world can drink and gather together to celebrate his great achievements for the emperor.

The world is full of chaos, and all the officials and ministers naturally have time to rest at home.

It is rare for Zhao Tuo to have a leisurely time in the mansion.

The so-called full of warmth and love.

When Zhao Tuo was free, he couldn't help but think about his lifelong affairs.

He thought that according to the chronology of this era, he was also a well-known twenty-one-year-old young man, and it was time to reach the age of crowning and getting married.

"I don't know... when the emperor will fulfill his promise."

Zhao Tuo muttered in his heart, remembering the interview with the current emperor before he left for the expedition.

"The six kingdoms are not destroyed, so what is the family!"

"When the world is unified, the six kingdoms will be wiped out. You, Zhao Tuo, will be the son-in-law of the widow!"

The conversation between the two back then echoed in his head, and Zhao Tuo couldn't help thinking about it.

People are not sages, who can have no desires.

Now Zhao Tuo is waiting for the emperor to fulfill his original promise.

It's a pity that the emperor has just ascended the throne, there are so many important things in the huge empire, and there is no time to take care of Zhao Tuo's personal affairs for the time being.

Zhao Tuo didn't wait for the emperor's edict, nor did he receive the invitation from the son of the Qin Palace.

But an unexpected person was waiting.

"Master Da Shu, there is a gentleman from Prime Minister Zuo's residence outside the door, and there is a letter from a famous assassin."

The servant presented a greeting card.

"Wang He, the son of Prime Minister Zuo Wang Wan?"

"What does this man come to visit me for? I don't have any friendship with his father, do I?"

Zhao Tuo opened the famous thorn and looked, a little surprised.

But after thinking about it, the other party probably came to make friends intentionally. Everyone knows that Zhao Tuo, the eldest son of the emperor, is a celebrity in front of the emperor and a great hero in the establishment of the empire. It is also reasonable to look for opportunities to come and make friends with him among things.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo got up immediately, ordered his servants to open the door of the house, and went to meet him in person.

Wang He was in his twenties, with a round face and body, and a short beard under his chin. He was standing at the door waiting with a wild goose in his arms.

"My lord, Wang He, I have seen the eldest son walk."

Wang He spoke modestly and behaved very politely.

Zhao Tuo returned a salute, and said with a smile: "My lord came to pay a visit, and I'm not far away to welcome you."

Wang He was flattered.

In his imagination, Zhao Tuo, who is young and has made great contributions to the emperor, is likely to be young and vigorous.

Unexpectedly, when they met face to face, the elder was very gentle in his dealings with others, and Wang He couldn't help but burst into a smile.

The two walked into the mansion, and after exchanging pleasantries, Wang He directly explained the purpose of their visit.

"My father has always admired the prestige of the elders, so he specially prepared a small banquet tomorrow night, and invited the elders to come."

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes slightly.

Seeing Wang He's sincere expression, he hesitated for a while before agreeing.

There are many people who come to invite him, some he can decline, but some people cannot be easily ignored.

Wang Wan, Prime Minister of the Left, is the number two figure in the political arena of the Qin Empire today.

Especially as Prime Minister You became old, many things fell on Wang Wan, and his power increased day by day. This is a figure that Zhao Tuo cannot easily ignore.

Now the other party not only prepares a banquet to invite each other, but also sends his own son to invite him. This kind of standard is already very high.

If Zhao Tuo refuses, he will not only be rude, but also make the other party feel uncomfortable and belittled, then it is very likely that he will directly form a grudge.

Even if this matter gets out, it will give him a reputation of being arrogant and rude, even the prime minister doesn't pay attention to it.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Tuo could only nod his head and said, "Since the prime minister invited you, Tuo will definitely visit."

Seeing that the chief minister agreed, Wang He's round face was full of smiles again.

"That's very good, then my father and son will wait in the mansion for the visit of the eldest son, and at that time there will be good guests to accompany him, which will definitely make the eldest son happy."

The two chatted for a while, and Wang He got up to leave.

Zhao Tuo sent the other party out of the mansion.

Seeing the car that Wang He was riding drifting away on the road, the smile on Zhao Tuo's face gradually disappeared.

"Wang Wan..."

By the evening of the second day.

Zhao Tuo changed into a dark black dress, stepped into a newly changed carriage, and headed for Prime Minister Zuo's residence in Weinan.

Dashu traveled in a long carriage, and no one dared to block the road. It didn't take long before he crossed the Wei Bridge and came to a huge mansion.

I saw that the gate and pavilion of the mansion were tall, with carved railings and painted buildings, quite imposing.

Wang Wan's son, Wang He, had already been waiting here, and when he saw Zhao Tuo arriving, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"I've seen the great master."

Zhao Tuo grabbed the bleating lamb from the car, carried the lamb out of the car, and greeted Wang He.

"I have seen Wang Jun."

Before the two had spoken a few words, Prime Minister Zuo Wang Wan came out of the mansion in person after receiving the servant's report.

"It really makes me happy that the eldest son came to the humble house in person."

Wang Wan is over forty years old. Compared with his son's round face and body, he is thin and tall.

"The elders greeted Zhao Tuo, he was really flattered."

Zhao Tuo replied with a polite sentence, but his eyes fell behind Wang Wan.

There, there were also several men wearing high crowns and Confucian uniforms.

Wang Wan noticed Zhao Tuo's gaze, and said with a smile: "This time the elders are here, I take the liberty to invite a good guest to accompany them. These are all people who are knowledgeable about the past and the present, and they are the doctors of the school who are enlisted today. With them, Today's banquet must be very joyful."

Hearing Wang Wan speak, the doctors behind him immediately introduced themselves.

The leader, a middle-aged man with a long beard, looked at Zhao Tuo with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said, "The doctor's servant shot at Zhou Qingchen, and I have seen the elder. The elder is really a young hero. He has such meritorious deeds at a young age. It is really true." Let us admire."

After Zhou Qingchen opened his mouth, another Confucian scholar with a short beard and a long face cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Chun Yuyue, I have seen the great master."

Zhou Qingchen!

Chunyu Yue!

Zhao Tuo's eyelids twitched.

These two names are characters that often appear in the novels of the Qin Dynasty in later generations, which really made Zhao Tuo like a thunderbolt.

While listening to the introductions of several other doctors, Zhao Tuo looked at the smiling Wang Wan.

Today's banquet is really fun.

The name changes in this article are all from "Liye Qin Bamboo Renaming Recipe". Liehou changed his name when Qin unified, not when he changed his name. It is worth mentioning that the official title of "Junwei" was renamed after the unification. Before the name change, it was called "Junbangwei". The previous text was used in advance to please the ear.
