General Qin

"Sister-in-law, I heard that Linzi has a larger population than Xianyang, making it the largest city in the world?"

"Sister-in-law, it is said that Mount Tai is as high as the sky, that's why this place is called Qidi. Can we touch the sky by standing on Mount Tai?"

"Sister-in-law..."

After Qin Shihuang offered sacrifices on Mount Yi, on the way to Mount Tai, the voice of Hu Hai, a little boy, kept ringing in Zhao Tuo's ears.

I don't know if it was because of the Emperor Yishan's question and answer, Zhao Tuo pretended to be a wave with the theory of destiny.

In short, he attracted Hu Hai's attention.

After coming down from the mountain, Hu Hai entangled Zhao Tuo, not only followed him all the way to ask questions, but even squeezed into Zhao Tuo's car at the back, chattering in his ear endlessly.

The first emperor seemed to be happy to see his beloved youngest son getting close to Zhao Tuo, and he was all smiles on his face, showing no intention of stopping him.

Hu Hai is twelve years old this year, and in later generations he is only in the sixth grade of elementary school. He is at the most mischievous stage and extremely energetic, making Zhao Tuo's journey miserable.

The most important thing is that Hu Hai doesn't call Zhao Tuo by his title, but a sister-in-law. He shows that he is very close to Zhao Tuo, and Zhao Tuo hates the questions that seem to never end one after another in his mouth. Tooth itching.

This made Zhao Tuo feel that compared with bringing a baby, fighting wits and courage with the enemy on the battlefield is really heaven.

"It would have been nice if Man Man was here, she just slapped her when she went up, and the little thing she slapped screamed."

Zhao Tuo thought about it, and looked at Hu Hai with some vigilance.

Compared with Ziying, who is honest and honest, Hu Hai, the "Second Emperor of Qin", made Zhao Tuo thunderous. Even though Hu Hai is only a child now, precautions are always indispensable.

After a little getting used to Hu Hai's harassment, Zhao Tuo gradually regained the initiative with words. After a few weird stories, he opened the eyes of this little kid and started to be led by Zhao Tuo.

"I heard that you are studying under the order of the CRRC government. I wonder what things you have learned on weekdays?"

Zhao Tuo launched a test.

Hu Hai curled his lips, and said: "Just learn some laws of Qin and the laws of Shang Jun, but those things are meaningless and very boring. Fortunately, the teacher is not strict with me, and I can play by memorizing two laws, which is not bad. .”

"But it's not as fun to listen to my sister-in-law telling stories. No wonder the brothers say that my sister-in-law abducted my sister-in-law from the palace with one mouth and one tongue. It turned out to be true. Just be my teacher, and then you can listen to something interesting every day." Hu Hai stared at Zhao Tuo with wide-eyed eyes.

Zhao Tuo's eyelids twitched.

To be Hu Hai's teacher?

This is a path never imagined.

Speaking of this, he was curious why Hu Hai turned around and became Zhao Gao's disciple, so he asked why.

When he learned that the first emperor originally wanted Meng Yi to teach Hu Hai, but Hu Hai disliked Meng Yi's rigidity and uprightness, and asked to be Zhao Gao's disciple, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but secretly sighed at the wonder of fate.

Now that he was talking about this, Zhao Tuo took the opportunity to inquire about some things. Although Hu Hai was smart, he was still young and inexperienced, so Zhao Tuo got out an important piece of information in a short while.

"The teacher said that my sister-in-law is the pillar of the Great Qin Dynasty, and he is also a first-class minister in the court today. Let me get closer to my sister-in-law and learn a lot."

After Zhao Tuo sent Hu Hai away, he frowned slightly after thinking about this sentence.

It turned out to be Zhao Gao's idea for Hu Hai to get close to him.

"Brother Zhao, brother Zhao, what are you doing?"

...

"Your Majesty, the governor of Jibei is waiting outside."

CRRC Mansion ordered Zhao Gao to enter the house and whispered.

It is now the second day of June, where Boyang, the prefecture of Jibei County (now Tai'an, Shandong), is located. The First Emperor is sitting in the palace, reviewing the documents in front of him.

Hearing Zhao Gao's report, Emperor Shi Huang said without raising his head, "Let him in."

The First Emperor was a ruler who grasped everything. Even if he was on a tour to the east, he had to set a quota for himself to review documents every day. Fortunately, Zhao Tuo invented paper and popularized it in the administrative system, which made the transportation of documents very convenient and benefited him a lot.

Feel the touch of fingers rubbing against the paper.

The first emperor couldn't help admiring: "The things that Marquis Wugong has produced in the past two years are really good. This paper alone can be called the most important weapon of the country. Maybe he should be allowed to be the young man again when he goes back to the East this time. Maybe there will be more surprises for me.”

In the room, after coming in with the document just now, the minister servant who had been waiting for the emperor's order shot Li You. Hearing this, his body trembled slightly.

He silently lowered his head.

Zhao Tuo is not only better at fighting than him.

And it will also create a variety of works of art.

What does Li You compare with Zhao Tuo?

"Perhaps, only my loyalty to His Majesty is no worse than Zhao Tuo."

Li You raised his head and quietly glanced at the emperor who was reviewing the documents, with a flash of determination in his eyes.

loyalty!

This is already the only thing he can take out.

At this time, the governor of Jibei came in under the leadership of Zhao Gao. He came to report his work to the emperor.

Mount Tai and Mount Liangfu, where the first emperor was going to enshrine Zen this time, one was north of Boyang City and the other was south of Boyang City, both of which were under the jurisdiction of Jibei County. At that time, the preparations began with trepidation.

"After receiving your majesty's order, I immediately set up corvee service. I recruited thousands of people from the head of Guizhou, prisoners, and vassals to repair the roads in the north and south of Mount Tai and Mount Liangfu. After several months of hard work, the roads between the two mountains are now smooth. It can be used by His Majesty to climb the mountain at any time to perform the ceremony of enshrining Zen."

"good."

The First Emperor nodded.

However, the next sentence of Jibei County Sheriff made his face gloomy again.

"Before I came here, I asked Feng Chang what things His Majesty would need to use when enshrining Zen, so that I could make preparations so as not to be hasty and make mistakes. However, Feng Chang said that His Majesty has not yet decided on the etiquette to be used, so he dare not say more. I can only I will report to Your Majesty by death, so that I can prepare in advance."

There is no problem with the words of the governor of Jibei. He is the magistrate of the county where Mount Tai is located. Naturally, he will provide everything the emperor needs to enshrine the Chan. If you ask in advance, you are afraid that you will not be able to find it by then, so he will be responsible.

The first emperor did not blame the sheriff. He was angry for another reason.

"This group of Confucian scholars keep advocating the matter of enshrining Zen, but I asked them to agree on the etiquette used to enshrine Zen, but it has not yet been finalized from Xianyang to the foot of Mount Tai."

The First Emperor said to Zhao Gao: "Call all the ministers and Confucian scholars to discuss the matter, and I will immediately determine the etiquette of enshrining Zen."

"only."

Zhao Gao immediately took orders to go out. On the road of the east tour, besides driving the car, he also took charge of duties such as sending orders, which can be regarded as being reused.

Following the emperor's edict, in the afternoon, all the ministers and ministers who followed, as well as the Confucian scholars from the court and the land of Qilu gathered here.

Although Zhao Tuo didn't care about etiquette, he was also involved because of his status.

He had already heard about the etiquette used by those Confucian scholars in order to enshrine Zen. Various factions fought from Xianyang to Qidi, and each step had to fight several times.

As a result, they are now at the foot of Mount Tai, and the emperor will be enshrined in Zen in two days, and they didn't even come up with a plan.

Compared with when there were ancient books to rely on when Yidi was named, and the name of Taihuang was finally recognized together, today's Fengchan has no specific records except for a name in the book.

All kinds of etiquette have to be made up now, if you don't make it up, you can't get it out.

Under such circumstances, the Confucians of the Kong family compiled a set, the Confucians of the Yan family compiled a set, and the Confucians of the Meng family also compiled a set, and the remaining Confucian factions also racked their brains to come up with their own. The sect's ceremony of enshrining Zen, they all say that the etiquette they made up is authentic, and all kinds of arguments are fierce, quarreling.

"With such a way of doing things, how can you bear the burden?"

Zhao Tuo couldn't help but secretly sighed as he looked at the Confucian scholars who were still glaring at each other as they entered the room after receiving the edict.

Today's Confucianism is very different from the Confucianism of later generations, and it is still in the early stage of development. Just looking at the people in front of them, most of them are just talking on paper, without real experience in governing the country and fighting in court, which is why they were easily suppressed by Zhao Tuo and Li Si before.

Probably after experiencing hardships such as "burning books", the Confucian scholars will wake up and become the appearance of future generations step by step.

Ting Wei Li Si, who was standing in the front row in the room, saw those Confucian scholars entering in a file, judging from their appearance.

Li Si knew that his chance had come.
