Chapter 28: The First Emperor (I)

After a heavy rain in Guanzhong, the water in the Wei River surged.

The turbid river water circulates Xianyang, roaring and roaring, with a strong sound. The gentle willows by the river swaying in the wind. A small white flower on the roadside is blooming, dancing with the willow branches. It is so cool. It is so autumn. It is late summer and early autumn. The Qinchuan is full of charm... This year, it must be another harvest year, and the old Qin people are happy in their hearts.

In the Xianyang Palace, the forty-year-old Qin Wang Zheng was on the throne. His eagle-like eyes swept across the court officials in the palace.

King Zheng of Qin, whose real name was Ying Zheng, was born in Handan, Zhao State. He was once a hostage and spent his childhood there. For the humiliation imposed on him by the people of Zhao State, Ying Zheng used the massacre of the people of Handan as a reward. From the day he ascended the throne, the conspiracy and killing did not seem to have stopped. However, step by step, he came over. As for the hardships, who knows?

Now, six countries are divided into one in all four seas.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which began in the first year of Lu Yin (722 BC), has finally come to an end today with great unification.

Every end point is actually just a starting point.

No matter how excited the old Qin people were or how obsessed the court officials were, Ying Zheng always remained awake. In front of him was an empire that started from the sea in the east, went to Lintao in the west, and went to Xianghu in the north with a vast territory. The territory was unprecedented in ancient times. How to govern this powerful and vast empire has become an important problem that Ying Zheng could not avoid.

In fact, since Wang Jian launched an attack on Chu State, Ying Zheng and his think tanks have been discussing this matter.

"Now the six kingdoms have been destroyed, and the world is unified."

Ying Zheng stood up long, and his height was eight feet wide, not outstanding among the old Qin people, but in this court, everyone had to look up. His broad arms and round waist and burly body made everyone feel oppressed at the moment of standing up.

"The ancestors of Qin Kings have always hoped forever peace in the universe and not to use weapons. Finally, with the blessing of our ancestors, I will be fulfilled by me. Since the situation in the world has changed, my name may be changed, otherwise it will not be able to show our success today, and it will be difficult to distinguish from the previous generations, and I will not let future generations understand... Everything about them is given by me."

The words bring out the proud posture that is unique to the winner.

The Xianyang Palace was silent for a while, and a minister stood up and bowed and said, "What my king said was the most. In ancient times, the five emperors had only a thousand miles of territory. Whether the princes surrendered or came to court was not determined by the kings and princes. Now, my king has been upright to fight, killing the remnants of thieves, pacifying the world, and promoting peace to all the seas. The law can be blamed for the people, and one person is ordered to be sent out. This has been something that has never been seen since ancient times. Who can compare with my king?"

"What the Tingwei said is very true!"

This minister, named Li Si, was born into a Legalist and was very favored by Ying Zheng.

Whether his words were expressed by Ying Zheng's mind, not to mention the facts, no one could refute it.

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction!

If you want to observe your words and expressions, and if you want to understand your own thoughts, no one in the court can compare with Li Si.

He didn't speak, and quietly waited for Li Si to continue speaking. There was a vague feeling that Li Si would definitely be able to say something that satisfies him.

Li Si said: "I have discussed with the doctors that there were Emperors, Emperors of Earth and Emperors of Thailand in ancient times, among which Emperors of Thailand was the most noble. I risked my life to advise and added my king to be called "Emperor of Thailand". At the same time, in order to distinguish the ancient system, in addition to the emperor's title, my king should also create his own title. I risked my life to advise again, and my king should call himself "I" and others should not use it again. At the same time, I changed my destiny to "system" and the order to "author". I wonder if it is possible?"

The whole palace of civil and military officials whispered to each other and discussed Li Si's words.

After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng suddenly coughed gently. In an instant, there was no sound in the court, and everyone's eyes stared at Ying Zheng.

Turning around, Ying Zheng looked at Duke Wen behind him and said in a deep voice: "What the Tingwei said is very consistent with my wishes. However, the title of "Emperor Tai" is still difficult to distinguish from the ancient system. I think it is best to name the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Now, how about changing the title of the King to the Emperor?"

Many people took a breath.

The three emperors and five emperors are collectively called "Emperor"?

This is a title that has never been seen before, and it also shows Ying Zheng's ambition to surpass the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Li Si stood up again, "My emperor's sage order! Your Majesty has the virtues of the Three Emperors, the merits and demerits of the Five Emperors, and the title of "Emperor". I risk my life to advise you again and ask Your Majesty to be the title of "First Emperor". Only in this way can it be demonstrated that everything begins with my emperor. I beg Your Majesty to be the title of "First Emperor"!"

The First Emperor?

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter: "Tingwei said well, the emperors started with me, and later generations calculated by numbers, two, three, and even thousands of generations, and passed on endlessly. Only in this way can my achievements be demonstrated... Li Si said well, he should be rewarded!"

"I, thank my emperor!"

Li Si prostrated himself and thanked Ying Zheng.

Immediately afterwards, the court officials in the hall prostrated themselves in the main hall and shouted "My emperor's sage, the Great Qin Qianqiu" echoed over the Xianyang Palace.

"Not good, no good!"

Cao Wushang stumbled into the courtyard. Seeing Liu Kan moving his muscles, he stepped forward and grabbed Liu Kan's arm, "Have you heard of it, have you heard of it?"

Liu Kan's body bones have recovered a lot, and most of the injuries on her body have been closed.

He was barefoot, with only underwear, barefoot, hair was scattered, and whipped at the bamboo stakes standing in the yard.

With sweat all over his body, when Cao Wushang grabbed Liu Kan's arm, Liu Kan instinctively relieved his strength. Cao Wushang felt his hand slipping, and then Liu Kan turned around and restrained his arm. His arm seemed to be twisted by iron pliers. Cao Wushang screamed in pain and said repeatedly: "Let go, let go!"

Liu Kan let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Old Cao, why did he become a woman after lying at home for a few days? He couldn't help but beat him?"

"No, don't you see, how strong are you? That's me, called Aqi, I'd probably cry long ago... But, I haven't seen Aqi appear these days, what are he doing? You two are sneaking, what are your plans?"

Before he finished speaking, Cao Wushang felt that his head was knocked hard.

Tengdi grinned and turned his head and was about to get angry when he saw Shen Shiqi's expression of anger, "Who did you just say, who has become a woman?"

"ah!"

Liu Kan couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't gossip, gossip is struck by lightning!"

Shen Shiqi said angrily: "What a sneaky thing? I have something important to do... Hehe, I am going to join forces with Akan to make money, and Lao Tang also paid for it and was going to do something big. I have run away every day these days, let alone, I have really found a good place."

"make money?"

Cao Wushang curled his lips and turned his head and said, "Akan, do you want to imitate the business of the merchant? I advise you not to do it... Just relying on your good martial arts, you will succeed sooner or later. My old man also said that the county magistrate favors you very much and often praises you privately."

Liu Kan just smiled and did not interfere with Cao Wushang's words.
