The Xianyang Palace has undergone renovation and expansion for a long time, just like when King Zhaoxiang was the same. The ministers often advised him that the Qin Palace today really cannot reflect the current majesty of the King of Qin. They asked the Qin King to build the palace according to the highest specifications, and it is best to rebuild a palace in the style of the six kingdoms to demonstrate the achievements of Qin's great unification.

To be honest, the most recent renovation of the Qin Palace was during the reign of King Zhaoxiang, and decades have passed since then. The Qin Palace is not luxurious, far less than the Handan Palace of Zhao State. Of course, the ministers cannot tolerate this. Today's Qin State is so powerful, of course, the palace must also conform to the status of Qin State. After the completion of the unification, the new emperor will live in such a simple palace?

Qin must be preparing to build the palace of the Emperor, and the unification is getting closer. If we don’t prepare earlier, it will be too late. As for the money and money for the construction of the palace, the ministers are not worried. Qin is now sufficient in terms of manpower and material resources, and can be fully constructed. The ministers have submitted memorials, saying that Li Si is neutral, neither opposing nor agreeing, Han Fei opposes, and he thinks that it is not worthy of being tired of the people and losing money.

Ying Zheng was a little moved by the ministers' repeated admonitions.

Ying Zheng wanted to achieve unparalleled achievements. He wanted to accomplish feats that no one had accomplished. He also liked to show his status and achievements.

When Zhao Kuo returned to Xianyang, a minister came to find Zhao Kuo. After meeting Zhao Kuo, he said seriously: "I heard that those who are inferior can eat with one cauldron, like an ordinary person, can eat with three cauldrons, and those who are kings can eat with seven cauldrons. A great sage like you who are looking up to the world can eat with nine cauldrons. This is the orderly etiquette of the upper and lower levels."

"Now the great king destroyed the Three Jins, attacked the Xiongnu, captured and killed the Donghu, and made the contributions that made the world impressed, but his residence was not worthy of his status. Please persuade him to build the emperor's palace."

Zhao Kang, not far away, almost laughed out loud. This man still has the courage to ask his father to talk about building a palace for his brother?

Sure enough, as Zhao Kang thought, Zhao Kuo was very angry. He frowned and said seriously: "I followed my two guests to Handan to pay homage to Xinlingjun. On the road, I saw a young man in ragged clothes passing by with his father on his back, without bowing to me. I hurriedly said: Ge, stop the car. I took them to the city, took off my coat and gave it to him, and took out the food for their food."

"On the way back, I saw a wealthy businessman dressed in a beautiful manner. He urged his hired farmers to carry goods for him, insulted them, and whipped them. When he saw me, he hurriedly smiled and paid homage to me with exaggerated etiquette. But I scolded him for being kind, not to beat and scold others at will, and turned his head to leave."

"My disciple Di said: You treat the poor well, but you hate the rich."

"He said that is wrong. I respect people who deserve respect. Those who can treat their parents filially can get respect from people in a village, those who can defend the country and kill those who invade the enemy, and those who can get respect from a county. Those who quell the war and make the people in the world have no worries about food and clothing can get respect from the whole world. Whether a person is worth respecting is not about how many tripods he uses for food or food, not about his wealth, not about his attitude towards you, but about his character."

"A noble man deserves respect for his noble morality."

"You are telling me about the construction of the palace. The palace is dilapidated and should be built, but in order to demonstrate the status of the king, we must build a large-scale construction. Before the world is peaceful, hundreds of thousands of people will come to Xianyang to build a palace for the king. How ridiculous is this! Is this a manifestation of the status of the king or the stupidity of the king? The reason why the king can demonstrate his status is because his country is strong. Can a person like Yan Dan show his status?"

"In order to show your status, weaken the country's strength, when Qin becomes Yan State, you can take the king to flee to North Korea to demonstrate his status!"

Zhao Kuo was really not polite at all. At that moment, the minister who came to persuade Zhao Kuo quickly stood up and blushed. He covered his face with his sleeves, and did not dare to look at Zhao Kuo's face again, and turned around and fled here.

Later middle school students recited another full text, but the remarks on building a new palace in Xianyang stopped at that moment, and no one dared to say this again.

Zhao Kuo stayed at home all day long, accompanying Yi and taking care of his grandchildren. He occasionally went to Lu Buwei to discuss the issue of system transition. Both of them had seen that unification was not far away, and after the unification, Qin had to do a lot of things, whether to stop practicing the people, what should be the way to obtain military merits, and whether a series of relief systems should be established.

Zhao Kuo wanted to pull the Qin State out of the Spartan classical JG theory path. The Western Han Dynasty became the best reference for Zhao Kuo. The Western Han Dynasty also had the same system and path. They also implemented the military merit system and had titles. Of course, there were different places. The folk atmosphere in the early Western Han Dynasty was quite relaxed and allowed the people to develop themselves. After a period of cultivation, the Western Han Dynasty completed several very important reforms and finally accumulated a strong military force.

There are many things that Zhao Kuo can refer to, and there are some references in the later dynasties. However, because of different times, changes are still needed. For example, the imperial examination system in later generations. Today's school offices actually have a bit of the imperial examination. They pass the law examination to serve as grassroots officials. The difference is that the Qin school offices are only limited to the grassroots level, and you cannot pass the examination to serve as county magistrate.

Because there is another very important thing called title. Without corresponding titles, you can't become this official.

In the Qin Dynasty, there were not many people who knew the words, and the imperial examination system was afraid that it would not play a big role. But even so, in the feudal era, the imperial examination system was considered the most advanced official selection system. Zhao Kuo proposed the imperial examination system very early. When the war ended and the world was peaceful, and there was no way to obtain a large number of officials through war, the imperial examination system could be used. Combining the imperial examination system with the civil service examinations in later generations could achieve some.

When the war ended, Zhao Kuo would definitely transform this country into a normal country, rather than maintaining the appearance of the army, and changing the farming and war system into a fighting and farming separation system. Zhao Kuo had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Lu Buwei was also thinking about the transition of the system over the years, and the two had many common words. Lu Buwei served as the prime minister for a long time, and he knew better than Zhao Kuo that the Qin State was facing some of the problems that are now.

Zhao Kuo arrives home late every day, and Yi always prepares meals and waits for him to come back... Fusu's studies gradually become more and more knowledge to learn, and he is filled with countless confusions. He always hopes to come to Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo answers his confusion with a smile. Zhao Kuo told him many small stories, and compared to Zhao Kuo, Yi prefers Fusu more.

Fusu likes to stay at Zhao Kuo very much and is unwilling to go home.

The idea of ​​pacifying the State of Yan and destroying the State of Chu was also becoming increasingly popular in Xianyang.

Sitting in Zhao Kuo's mansion, Qi looked a little haggard, he was very haggard. Recently, he often came to see Zhao Kuo. After seeing Zhao Kuo, he said nothing and just sat down. Qi was abandoned in Qin since he was a child and had never enjoyed any fatherly love. Zhao Kuo was very close to him and treated him as his child. He smiled and took out the food, put it in front of the two of them. They sat down on their knees and ate.

"Wu Chenghou...Why did you feel heartbroken when Zhao State was destroyed?"

Qi suddenly asked, Yi was stunned and continued to lower his head to eat, but Zhao Kuo put down the food in his hand. He seemed to see something. He laughed, shook his head, and said, "No, I'm not sad..."

"But from now on there will be no Zhao people in the world..."

"How could this happen? This involves the issue of national identity and regional culture..." Zhao Kuo paused and said before: "The world is unified, and the world is Qin people? No, the world is Chinese. This China is our common nature. As the Chu people, the nation is no longer there. It is a unified nation, the Chinese nation. The Chu people will not appear as a separate nation, but the Chu culture will definitely continue to reproduce in the region."

"This will transform into a regional concept, a regional humanistic concept..."

Zhao Kuo said it seriously. Qi just watched him tell, "The countries are one, and the cultural differences are just because of the different regions they are in... You can rest assured that Chu culture will be passed down for thousands of years, with unique accents from various places, and that unique culture cannot be eliminated by the unity... You can believe me, I have seen that in the Chu area thousands of years later, all regions still retain their own language and culture. Even if there is a unified language, it is the same. I can't understand what they are saying..."

"You..." Qi was a little confused. He looked at the serious Zhao Kuo in front of him. What does Chu Di mean thousands of years later? He knew in his heart that Zhao Kuo was comforting himself.

He smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Now all countries cannot understand Chu's words and think that the people of Chu are barbarians. Is it still barbarians thousands of years later? Or is it said something that the six countries cannot understand?"

"Hahaha, you can believe me, it's true. The Chu culture of Chu Man's bones is indelible. It's stubborn, brave, arrogant, oh, by the way, I still look down on the people of the six countries as always."

Qi finally couldn't help laughing, laughing for a long time, and burst into tears.

"What about other areas? Could it be that Chu Di is the only one?"

"The Qi people still love to learn and write ink, the Yan people still like to drink and brag, the Qin people still eat the scones they used for war, and they also made new tricks, the Zhao people are still fighting, the Koreans are as hardworking as ever, and I have never been to the Wei people, so I don't know... Hahaha~~"

The generals of Qin were very eager to get the position of throne, that is, the title of Guanneihou, but this title was a bit harsh by Zhao Kuo. In the past, if you could fight a beautiful war, you could become Guanneihou, like Bai Qi, but now, if you want to get a Guanneihou, you either break up a powerful enemy like the Huns Donghu, or destroy a country, or have a father who destroyed several countries.

Zhao Kuo was too cruel, and now only Chu and Qi are still there. In order to get the throne of the State of Chu, the generals fought openly and secretly, and the temple was no longer as harmonious as before. The destruction of Chu was a very great honor. Anyone might be able to obtain the position of Guanneihou and even Chehou through this honor. No one was willing to give it to others. Wang Jian wanted to become Chehou, Meng Wu wanted Guanneihou, Li Mu wanted Guanneihou, Sima Shang wanted, Zhao Kang wanted...

In short, the generals were quarreling.

This gave Ying Zheng a headache. Sitting in the temple and looking at the generals who were eager to try, Ying Zheng felt that it was not a good thing to have too many generals.

"I didn't go to destroy Yan State. Can't Chu State give it to me?" This bastard was said by Zhao Kang. He almost jumped down, stared at Wang Jian in front of him, gritting his teeth. Wang Jian knew his bastard's temperament, but he was unwilling to give in. Li Mu also said that he had no contribution after coming to Qin State, but received too much reward and was willing to go to war. Meng Wu also said that the Meng family needed a position as a Guanneihou, and his father did not get it at the beginning, so he must take it down.

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and thought about the last Chu and Qi. He probably had some thoughts in his mind. He ordered the court to end the negotiations, and regardless of Zhao Kang who had caught up with him, he returned to the harem. As soon as he came back, he saw the sobbing Ming... Ying Zheng had a headache. The news that Qin was about to destroy Chu was rumored, and Ming naturally heard about it. Her mood was very depressed. Although she had not spoken to Ying Zheng until now, Ying Zheng still knew what she thought.

She didn't want to see her homeland perish.

However, there was no room for negotiation on this matter. Ying Zheng loved this virtuous queen in his heart, but in the same way, he would not change his current strategy because of her. Chu State must perish. Looking at the sobbing queen, Ying Zheng hesitated for a long time but still did not walk over. He stood there, looked at the queen, looked for a long time, and turned around and left. Unifying the world is Ying Zheng's highest ideal, and it is also the pursuit of the kings of Qin throughout the ages. This must not be changed.

But Ying Zheng had no way to face Ming. He also wanted to persuade Ming to reassure her and tell her that she would treat Chu people well.

However, Ying Zheng has never been good at expressing his feelings. He can't say it, he can only do it. He can't hold Ming and say so many love words to her to make her happy, but he has made up his mind that after destroying Chu State, he will not execute King Fu Chu of Chu, do not harm the royal family of Chu State, and treat the local people well. Perhaps because of this personality, Ying Zheng is often regarded as a ruthless and unrighteous person.

In history, he ruthlessly forced Lu Buwei to death... But perhaps no one knew that after the destruction of the six countries, another country survived, and that country was the Wei State. When the minister persuaded him to destroy the Wei State, Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "The country of Shang Jun and Wen Xinhou, let's keep it."

In history, he was very cruel and harsh to his eldest son, and even sent him to the frontier... However, he did use all his energy to cultivate his eldest son.

Sitting alone in the hall, Ying Zheng looked at the map of the world hanging on the wall.

He widened his eyes and reached out his hand to grab something.
