Chapter 109 Gai Nie! You have a new person and forget about the old one, right?
The raging anger of an emperor throughout the ages filled the entire side hall.
On the corridor pillars in the hall, the phoenix birds and dragons carefully carved by craftsmen seemed to tremble.
Zhao Gao's knees were weak, his body was low, his head was lowered, and he did not dare to look at the First Emperor.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Gai Nie took a step back.
This was not what he wanted, but the First Emperor's unparalleled domineering power to dominate the world made him unable to do so.
Gai Nie's eyes flashed with surprise.
Since he served with the First Emperor, the First Emperor had never really criticized or admonished him.
This was the first time that he faced the angry and arrogant First Emperor, and the thought of kneeling flashed through his mind just now.
Ge Nie finally understood why Qin Li did not kneel down, but so many people knelt down to the First Emperor.
When this emperor, who looked at the world with a tiger's eye and determined the country with a roar, became angry.
Kneeling down to speak is a person's self-protection, just like a person's worship of God.
The sword energy surged endlessly, and the peerless swordsman relied on his confidence and sincerity in his sword to withstand the invisible imperial energy.
Gai Nie bowed his head and held his hands in his hands, saying with some respect in his tone: "The Lord of Chang'an has returned."
The First Emperor vigorously lifted off the animal skins covering his body, turned over and sat down, and looked at Ge Nie and Zhao Gao as they stood and knelt down.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, but still had an angry look on his face: "When is this time?"
This question did not mention anyone by name. Both Gai Nie and Zhao Gao could answer it.
Zhao Gao lay on the ground motionless
Gai Nie's eyes lit up.
He knew this question, and he answered with a steady voice: "Third hour."
After saying these four words, Gai Nie felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart, as if he had broken through a small bottleneck during sword practice.
He lowered his head and glanced at Zhao Gao. When he saw that Zhao Gao was looking down at him and not looking at him, he looked back with some disappointment.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, I was unconscious for a short time...
"I found the aura left by Lord Chang'an in your majesty's body. Was your majesty attacked?"
As soon as Gai Nie spoke.
Zhao Gao was horrified.
Your Majesty actually knocked out Lord Chang'an?
Lord Chang'an actually dares to attack His Majesty!
Don't stay!
He kowtowed with a "bang" sound and said: "I'm late to save you! Your Majesty, please allow me to make atonement for my sins! Hunt down Lord Chang'an!"
Ying Zheng ignored Zhao Gao, but gave Gai Nie a dissatisfied look.
You are the only one who talks a lot!
"Cheng Xi combed my meridians for me. There are some residues. What's the big deal? I am sleepy myself. Don't be suspicious. Why are you disturbing my clear dreams?"
Zhao Gao: ...The God of Plague never lies. Why does Your Majesty treat Lord Chang'an so favorably?
Genie: ...Your Majesty, just be happy.
"The imperial edict written by Your Majesty was transcribed by the order of Zhao Chefu..."
"Um?"
Before Gai Nie could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ying Zheng.
"I just didn't write the imperial edict."
Zhao Gao was shocked again.
Fortunately, the plague god woke up His Majesty, otherwise he would have almost mistakenly issued the imperial edict privately written by Lord Chang'an.
To write imperial edicts privately and promote the system without permission is to undermine the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. This is a major crime of the three Yi tribes.
Lord Chang'an behaved like this, and no matter how much kindness your Majesty gave him, he still had to punish him this time.
Gai Nie's expression did not change, his heart did not beat wildly, he went straight to the main hall, put the imperial edict written by Ying Chengyu on the table and took it into the side hall.
He handed it to Ying Zheng with both hands and said, "Mr. Chang'an said that this imperial edict was written for His Majesty."
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "What did Cheng Yu say?"
Gai Nie replied: "Of course."
Ying Zheng accepted the imperial edict very naturally and said: "I have never written the imperial edict. This imperial edict was dictated by me and written by Cheng Xi. Gai Nie, please continue to talk, what happened to Zhao Gao."
Zhao Gao:......
Gai Nie was unmoved and said: "The order of Zhao Chefu has just copied this imperial edict. He wants to change the words in it, but I stop him. The order of Zhao Chefu said that it is necessary to polish the pen when copying the imperial edict for His Majesty. I dare to ask if this is true?"
While Ying Zheng looked at this imperial edict that had not been written by him, he said: "No need."
After being acknowledged by the First Emperor himself, Gai Nie lowered his head and looked at Zhao Gao, the meaning in his eyes was clear: traitor!
Zhao Gao looked at Ge Nie unyieldingly, feeling aggrieved.
Obviously this is the job of Xing Xi Fu Ling, why did he change it as soon as the god of plague came?
Ever since this god of plague came to Your Majesty, I have done nothing good!
The memorials were not long in total, and the First Emperor read them quickly.
The First Emperor looked down at Zhao Gao, who looked like he wanted to refute but did not dare to refute, and said with a smile: "You don't have to polish your pen. Zhao Gao has to polish his pen, as long as he doesn't change the meaning of the imperial edict."
Zhao Gao knelt and raised his head, looking at Gai Nie provocatively: I just told him to polish his pen!
"Why doesn't Nie need to polish his pen?"
Ge Nie felt that his ability to work was being questioned.
"If you want to use it, then you can copy this imperial edict."
The First Emperor followed the good deeds and threw the imperial edict to Gai Nie.
Gai Nie took the imperial edict, held it in both hands and handed it back to the First Emperor, saying: "Nie is afraid that he may misinterpret His Majesty's wishes, and I will be disgraced."
Ge Nie felt that the First Emperor was right to question his ability to work.
"Ha ha!"
The First Emperor laughed loudly.
"Then leave it to Zhao Gao and Zhao Gaorun."
Ge Nie handed Zhao Gao the imperial edict certified by the First Emperor as genuine.
I really need to polish my pen, there are so many things to do in the seal order, I don’t want to do it.
Zhao Gao respectfully accepted the imperial edict.
The god of plague cannot do this, so I am the only one who can come. I don’t know when your majesty will reassign me to carry out the seal order.
In a moment, Zhao Gao finished transcribing the imperial edict in the bright candlelight of the main hall and handed it to the First Emperor, who was reading the memorial beside him.
The First Emperor looked at it and nodded: "Yes."
After saying that, the First Emperor put aside the imperial edict transcribed by Zhao Gao and continued to read the memorial.
There were two piles of memorials, one large and one small. He only turned over the small pile that was approved by Xi.
When he saw the memorial that said "Although Chu has three households, Chu will definitely die if Qin is destroyed", the First Emperor frowned.
Folk songs and rumors are the work of those remnants who want to disrupt the government. They should be dealt with strictly and those who spread them should be killed.
Why is this Zhuzi not dealt with? Instead, he wants to make a folk song about "Qin and Chu's family" and integrate me, Qin Feng, into it. Isn't this nonsense?
Ying Zheng was about to ask Zhao Gao to use a knife to scrape off Ying Chengyu's approval and rewrite it.
He opened his mouth and suddenly changed his mind.
There are endless turmoils in various places, and I should go to inspect them and suppress the turmoil. At that time, the overall situation in Xianyang will be handled by this Shuzi. I will not change my mind this time, and use the land of Chu to let the Shuzi grow up.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Put down this memorial and the First Emperor continued to read.
After a while, I saw the memorial that there was turmoil in Qi, Linzi, Jimo and other places, and that the Tian family was extremely powerful.
This reply seemed a bit like, just kill all the rebels, there is nothing to say. But the way Tian dealt with it was inappropriate.
To stink of its reputation and distribute money and land to the people around it, wouldn't this enrich the people? This is contrary to the way of poverty-stricken people in the "Book of Shang Jun" and is not conducive to the stability of the Qin Dynasty.
If the local gentry gets bigger and the government orders are difficult to pass, which is not conducive to the rule of the Qin Dynasty, then all of them will be moved to Xianyang. I want to see how you can be so powerful as far as I can see!
The First Emperor's eyes flashed sharply.
He unfolded a new scroll of bamboo slips, held a writing brush in his hand, and wrote on it: Move the world's wealth to Xianyang!
"Zhao Gao, please remove these words and re-approval. 'Tian will put it aside for the time being. The court will make arrangements in the next month.'"
"only."
Zhao Gao held the dagger and gently scraped the bamboo slips, removing all the way Ying Chengyu dealt with the Tian family in the second half, and then rewrote the approval according to the First Emperor's wishes.
At this time, the First Emperor had already unfolded another scroll of bamboo slips approved by Ying Chengyu and started reading it again.
After a quarter of an hour, the bamboo slips changed from a big pile and a small pile to a big pile.
"Wake me up at midnight."
"only."
"only."
Mao Shi is the time when all the government offices and offices in the Qin Dynasty open their doors.
The First Emperor straightened his back and walked into the side hall.
After closing the palace door, he yawned slightly, with a look of exhaustion on his face - the First Emperor did not want others to see him like this.
He lay on the soft couch wearing a royal robe, pulled the animal skin over his body, and fell asleep without a cup of tea.
The night is already deep.
Apart from the cries of unknown insects outside, there was only the faint sound of the patrolling officer's footsteps.
The First Emperor slept very late every day.
Today, Ying Chengyu approved a small pile of memorials for the First Emperor. The First Emperor went to bed relatively early. In the past, it would take him at least half an hour to rest.
Qin was the first unified country in China.
There is no way forward for Qin's development, and there is no experience to learn from.
No one knows exactly how to govern such a large country and how to proceed.
The First Emperor, the first emperor of China and the master who founded the Qin Empire, didn't know either.
He can only use more time and more effort to think and perfect every decision he makes.
For his dream: I am the First Emperor, and the generations to come will be counted, the second, the third, and the eternity, and will be passed down to infinity.
For the promise he made to Dunwei: I will promise you to be the last political strategist in this world!
Mao Shi.
Ge Nie and Zhao Gao went into the side hall together to awaken the First Emperor.
The First Emperor opened his eyes, his face was full of determination, and he was full of energy and seemed to have endless energy.
"Zhao Gao, go and spread this imperial edict to every government."
"only."
"Gai Nie, go to Chang'an Jun's Mansion and tell that Shuzi that I'm awake."
"only."
The two of them were ordered to retreat.
The First Emperor suddenly asked: "Last night, after I left, I didn't wake up even once and slept until midnight?"
Zhao Gao immediately bowed his head and said respectfully: "Yes."
Gai Nie was silent for a moment, then he bowed his head and respectfully said, "Yes."
Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Wang Wan entered, he saw a very strange person in the prime minister's house - Li Si.
He frowned and said: "Li Tingwei won't go to Tingwei's mansion... That's right, now you are the left prime minister..."
Li Si's attitude was very upright, and he didn't look like he was competing with all the ministers in the court.
He folded his hands and said to Wang Wan: "I have met the right prime minister."
Wang Wan didn't respond, walked around in silence in every room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and came out feeling a little confused.
Wang Wan was looking for Wei Zhuang, who he had been fighting with for half his life, but he couldn't find him. When he was looking, he knew that he couldn't find the blue-eyed, uncivilized Hu man.
"Is the Prime Minister Zuo so anxious?" Wang Wan stared at Li Sidao.
"How can you not be in a hurry when you are in your position, planning your own affairs, and sharing your Majesty's worries?" Li Si replied.
Then Wang Wan laughed, smiled, and shook her head.
"The left prime minister exchanged the blessings of our descendants for the position of prime minister, don't you see Mr. Shang?"
Li Si's eyes flashed with a stern expression, and he said: "I have seen that all dynasties of Qin have followed the laws of Shang Jun. During the lifetime of Qin Xiao, no one dared to speak seriously to Shang Jun."
"I have been taught well by Zuo Xiang. I have heard for a long time that Zuo Xiang is diligent in government affairs. When he was the Tingwei, he could decide all the big and small matters in the Tingwei Palace with one word. From now on, the affairs of the Prime Minister's Palace will be handled by Zuo Xiang."
"I dare not refuse what the elders ask for."
"Wan Wan is not feeling well today, so he will take a rest for the day. Mr. Zuo will have to work harder."
"The Prime Minister is already very old, so he needs to pay more attention to his physical discomfort and take a rest for a few more days."
"...Wan really deserves to rest."
Wang Wan walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and walked quietly home along the road. He walked very slowly, very slowly, much slower than his usual walking speed - he was reluctant to walk.
This time, he left and could never come back.
But after all, he kept walking without stopping.
Wang Wan lowered her head and never looked back...
"Is the Right Minister going home?"
Suddenly a voice sounded in front of Wang Wan. Wang Wan looked up and was a little surprised.
Why is Zhao Gao here?
He looked at the bamboo slips in Zhao Gao's hand and understood immediately.
Why is Your Majesty in such a hurry? So ruthless...
Wang Wan smiled bitterly in his heart, but said on his face: "Wan is not feeling well, so he will not take a bath today. Zhao Chefu has something to look for, Prime Minister Zuo."
Zhao Gao had a lively mind and could tell what Wang Wan was thinking at a glance.
He raised the bamboo slips in his hand and said with a smile: "Today's imperial edict, you should listen to it."
This time Wang Wan no longer just smiled bitterly in his heart, but also smiled bitterly on his face, saying: "Is it necessary?"
Zhao Gao nodded and said: "No matter how serious your illness is, there is no rush. There is no time to connect with the imperial edict."
"……Can."
Wang Wan turned around and followed Zhao Gao back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Li Si came out to welcome him. Hearing that there was an imperial edict, he hurriedly found an open house and lit a few bright candles.
At this time, it was just dawn.
Zhao Gao entered, and in front of him stood Wang Wan with his back as straight as possible and Li Si with his back slightly bowed.
"The imperial edict has arrived."
"Your Majesty, Wang Wan, accepts the order."
"Your Majesty Li Si accepts the order."
"After receiving orders from heaven, one will live a long and prosperous life. I have thought about it again and again. All the princes have made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. If they do not seal the land, it is not enough...it is possible for the princes to seal the land and cause chaos."
After reading the contents of the imperial edict, Zhao Gao put away the edict, looked at the two people who were stunned, and said with a smile: "The left prime minister, the right prime minister, don't you accept the edict?"
Li Si was still thinking about why His Majesty changed his mind and followed Lord Chang'an's strategy.
Being reminded by Zhao Gaoyi, he quickly reacted and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Li Si, accepts the order!"
Wang Wan was thinking in her mind that Your Majesty clearly mentioned the system of prefectures and counties in the court. If you don’t have a fiefdom, how can you do it with me?
After being reminded by Zhao Gaoyi, he still didn't react and said somewhat hesitantly: "Is this imperial edict really written by your Majesty?"
Zhao Gao said silently in his heart: ...No, it was written by Chang'an Jun.
He unfolded the rolled bamboo slips in his hand and showed Wang Wan the large seal that read "As ordered by Heaven, you will live long and prosperous" covered with a jade seal made of He's jade.
"Right Prime Minister, can you trust me this time? I want you to come and listen to the order, is that right?"
"Wan...thank you for Zhao Che's order..."
Wang Wan stretched out his old hands, which were trembling with wrinkled skin, and touched the eight characters "Ordered by God, and live forever", and she burst into tears.
Your Majesty has not forgotten the old man, the old man has been waiting...
His lifelong plan, which he originally thought he had lost, suddenly came true when he had given up all hope...
Plop~
The Right Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty knelt on the ground, facing the direction of Xianyang City, and cried loudly.
Crying and shouting at the same time.
"Your Majesty's Holy Spirit... His Majesty's Holy Spirit..."
On this day, it was still dark.
All the major government offices in Xianyang were in a state of excitement.
Some people cried with joy, some were elated, some were overjoyed, and some fainted and passed away due to excitement...
The sound of "Your Majesty's Holy Ming", which was more pious than the one in Xianyang Palace that lasted for a quarter of an hour, woke up the sun in the sky.
Warm, genial sunshine is shining.
A new day begins in Xianyang City.
Da Qin also started a new day, a brand new day.
The wheel of history was tripped by a pebble and twisted slightly away from its original trajectory.
And the person who did this, Ying Chengyu, is now entering Xianyang Palace again under the leadership of Gai Nie.
As Ying Chengyu walked, he kept asking questions like a hundred thousand whys.
"Brother, why did you wake up so quickly?"
"have no idea."
"Has the imperial edict been sent out?"
"have no idea."
"Gai Nie! You have a new person and forget about the old one, right?"
