In the dream, the title that annoyed Qin Wangzheng sounded again. .
The year when Qin Wangzheng was born, it was during the siege of Handan. The Qin army continued to attack Handan day and night. At the same time, the Zhao people surrounded the house where he was born for three floors.
According to the Queen Mother, those Zhao people, with the hatred of the 400,000 Zhao people who lost their lives in the Changping War, clamored to eat him, a villain of the Qin Kingdom!
If his mother's family was not a wealthy family in the Zhao Kingdom, and they tried their best to protect him, Qin Wangzheng would never have lived to grow up. In order to allow him to survive smoothly in Handan, his mother's family gave him a name without permission in order to please the Zhao royal family.
"In the past, Qin and Zhao came from the same origin, and their ancestor was Fei Lian. The great ancestor of Qin was the evil one, Fei Lian, and died of fleas. There is a disciple named Nv Fang. Nv Fang gave birth to Pang Gao, Pang Gao gave birth to Tai Ji, Tai Ji gave birth to Da Luo, and Da Luo
Luo Shengfei was a son, herding horses for the Zhou family, and his status was humble... Therefore, because of the favor of his father, all his descendants were attracted by Zhao City and became the Zhao family. In the present Qin Dynasty, Sun Zheng was born in Handan, Zhao, and should also be called the Zhao family.
, called Zhao Zheng..."
Many years later, Qin Wangzheng asked the young uncle and found out that this was an old story.
Shao Zongbo said to him: "The emperor's virtues are due to the surname given to him when he is born, and the surname is determined by the land. The surname has not changed for tens of millions of years, but the surname has changed after being passed down again and again. Is there any reason to stick to it for hundreds of years?"
Indeed, hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Qin State had a humble status after the fall of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. They were herding horse vassals. Since they share the same clan as Zhao Zaofu, they also used the Zhao family name and Zhao Cheng to brand themselves.
But times have changed, and since Feizi was appreciated by King Xiao of Zhou, and the land was divided into vassals, and the Qin city was named "Qin Ying", the ancestors of Qin began to abandon the Zhao family and take Qin as their surname. Qin Hou, Qin Zhong,
The names and taboos of countless ancestors are clear evidence. When Qin Xianggong was listed as a vassal, he followed the principle of "the king of the vassal state takes the country as his family name", and there are also oaths of alliance as evidence.
As for the Zhao family? Not to mention that the status of Qin has far surpassed that of Zhao. Ever since Zhao Xuanzi, the ruler of Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period, betrayed his faith and launched the Linghu War, Qin and Zhao have become enemies. In the past hundred years, they have become unrelenting enemies of Qin.
How can the royal family take Zhao as their surname again?
Therefore, Qin Wangzheng always regarded the name "Zhao Zheng" as a great shame and humiliation!
When he was young in Handan, in order to humiliate him, the princes and grandsons of the Zhao Kingdom forced him to dress up as a shepherd boy and drive horses for them. The derogatory names of "Zhao Zheng" and "Western shepherd calf" were really harsh.
When he grew up to eight years old, he finally escaped from the hardships of Handan, took off the clothes of Zhao, put on the clothes of Qin with red and black colors, and returned to the motherland he had never set foot in, he finally got rid of this title...
But just as it took him more than ten years to get used to the water and soil of Xianyang, and he disliked the small size of Xianyang Palace, King Qin also did not like the name "Qin Zheng".
So when he succeeded to the throne as queen, when he was worshiping in the ancestral temple, he made a bold statement that surprised the eldest uncle and the younger uncle.
"The emperor has no clan!"
The Zhou Dynasty was dead and the Nine Provinces had no owner, but Qin Wangzheng, who was only thirteen years old, had already set a great ambition.
This is not only his ambition, but also the wish of all the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty starting from Qin Xiaogong!
"Unify the world!"
Since then, King Qin has rarely been called by his name, let alone "Zhao Zheng".
When was the last time someone called you that?
Was it the hysterical howling before being killed?
Was it the curse he blurted out in fear and anger when his only childhood friend in Handan, Prince Dan of Yan, came to Xianyang as a hostage and learned that he wanted to wipe out the six kingdoms?
It was the same voice that the queen mother said before her death, filled with hatred for him killing two brothers of the same mother: "Zhao Zheng, you goddammit!"
Tonight, the ghosts of the dead are back again, Lu Buwei, Queen Mother, Prince Dan of Yan, Fan Yuqi, Cheng, Lord Changping.
Their faces were covered with blood, and they were flying in the air, shouting "Zhao Zheng, Zhao Zheng" one after another, and they were entangled endlessly.
Qin Wangzheng was not afraid at all. These people who failed him and betrayed him were not worth fearing.
He is the Son of Heaven, he controls Tai'a, wields his sword to cut through the floating clouds, and all the princes come to the west!
Right now, all it takes is a wave of your sleeves, and the souls of the undead will be gone!
For a few moments, King Qin opened his eyes slightly, breathed calmly, and stared intently at the top of the magnificent palace.
Without looking to the left or right, he knew that there was no one on the huge couch except himself.
King Qin had many women, including Han women, Zhao women, Chu women, Wei women, Yan women, Qi women, and even Hu Ji and Yue Ji from foreign lands. Hundreds? Thousands? Nearly ten thousand? He himself counted them. It's not clear, but it was just a matter of luck. Except for the dead Hu Qizi, he had no true feelings for the concubines and never stayed in any woman's bed overnight.
They were just tools to give birth to children for him. He never believed that they were in love with each other. His mother's skillful dancing among the three men left a deep impression on him that is still indelible to this day.
This deep distrust of women, or anyone, even prompted him to build overpasses to connect many palaces in Xianyang Palace. He also ordered all palaces, whether he came or not, to be ancient every day. The music was blaring, so no one knew which palace King Qin would stay in except Zhao Gao, the commander of the Central Vehicle Mansion, who never left his side day and night.
But King Qin has a habit that is well known to everyone, that is, he rises every day when the rooster crows, and is dressed neatly under the waiters of the palace. While reading the newly delivered memorials in the morning, he hurriedly eats the court food, and then asks The young uncle was summoned.
At this time, the genius shines brightly.
Shao Zongbo, also known as "Little Zongbo", is the adjutant of the eldest Zongbo, the official in charge of the clan's sacrifices, and the solemn ceremony of the ancestral temple. However, the young Zongbo is not young at all, but an old and decrepit man, leaning on a dove stick, sitting in the open space. Walking in the palace was trembling.
He is also a member of the royal family and is said to be of the same generation as Qin Wangzheng's great-grandfather, King Qin Xiaowen, so the King of Qin has always respected him.
He was the only one who, with the permission of the King of Qin, did not call him "Your Majesty, Your Majesty" but "The King of Qin!"
And I have to shout it every morning when I get up!
"Prince Qin, have you forgotten the great wish of the ancestors of Qin to unify the world!?" At this time every day, the hoarse voice of the young uncle would reach the ears of King Qin from more than ten steps away.
Just like many years ago, Fu Chai had someone stand in front of the door, and whenever he came in or out, he would shout: "Fu Chai! Did you forget that Gou Jian killed your father?"
At this time, the King of Qin would also bow solemnly and respond.
"I won't forget politics even for a day!"
But today, the young uncle did not lean on his dove stick and shout as he did in the past. He just walked up to King Qin without saying a word and paid him a heavy bow.
"The King of Qi entered the court last month. So far, the six kingdoms have been destroyed. The king has finally realized the great wish of the ancestors of Qin to unify the world. The duties of the old minister have also been fulfilled..."
When he raised his head, tears were streaming down his face: "Mr. Mu, Gong Xian, Gong Xiao, King Huiwen, King Wu, King Zhaoxiang, King Xiaowen, and King Zhuangxiang, if they see today's scene, they will definitely feel relieved!"
Yes, King Qin also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Following the six generations of heroes, he fought hard for more than ten years and finally defeated the six kingdoms and unified the world. His ambition was finally realized!
But is this the end? King Qin thought it was not enough. Six kings entered the dynasty one after another, were killed or moved, but he could never feel the enjoyment of being a winner.
Especially his title of "King" is already a little too trivial.
The King of Qin was a person who liked to overthrow traditions, so he said to the young uncle: "I once talked with the young uncle about the Mohist school and the debate between the names and the reality of the famous scholars. The young uncle said to me that all the famous Mohists fell into the sophistry of the names and the reality.
In the end, in the final analysis, name is the companion of reality, and reality must be matched with a big name, so that the name can be justified, but is this so?"
Uncle Shao Zong said yes, and the King of Qin continued: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes have been fighting, and the officials have usurped the throne. Therefore, strange speeches have arisen, and the name and reality are confused. Now that the world is unified, we should also focus on rectifying the name and the real name, and the act of rectifying the name should be left to me.
beginning!"
After saying this, the King of Qin looked at the officials and ministers who had come in to be summoned: "Where is Zhao Gao? I am writing an edict for you!"
Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC, was a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. He not only drove a carriage well, but also had excellent calligraphy. He immediately stepped forward, spread out the silk book on the case, and dipped his pen into the best ink in the world. According to the instructions of King Qin
He wrote the imperial edict in small seal script, one of the top three calligraphy in the world.
"In the coming days, the king of Han accepted the imperial seal and asked him to become a vassal. He made a double appointment and joined forces with Zhao and Wei to join the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, he raised troops to kill him and captured his king."
"The king of Zhao sent his prime minister Li Mu to come to make an alliance, so he became his hostage. He doubled the alliance and rebelled against us in Taiyuan, so he raised an army to kill him and gain his king. Zhao Gongzi Jia Nai established himself as the acting king, so he raised his troops to destroy him.
"
"The king of Wei first agreed to submit to Qin, and then he went to Han. Zhao planned to attack Qin, but Qin soldiers killed him and defeated it."
"The king of Jing presented himself to the west of Qingyang and made an appointment to attack our southern county, so he sent troops to kill him, captured his king, and established his land of Jing."
"The king of Yan was in a state of confusion, and his crown prince Dan Nai secretly ordered Jing Ke to be a thief. The soldiers killed him and destroyed his country."
"The king of Qi used his later strategy to defeat the envoys of Qin and wanted to cause chaos. The soldiers killed the king, captured his king, and leveled the land."
After first recounting the reasons and process of Qin's destruction of the six kingdoms, King Qin paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and finally began the text:
"I raised an army to kill the rioters with my own body, and relied on the spirit of the ancestral temple. The six kings fell victim to their crimes, and the world was settled."
"The ancients said that a famous person is a real guest! Now I have been honored as the emperor, a guest in Jiuzhou, and a king. The king's title is no longer worthy of respect. Therefore, if the name is not changed, it cannot be called a success and passed on to future generations. Now I order the prime minister
, the censor, the doctor, and all the Yilang discuss the emperor's title together!"
Yes, just like when he was alive, he would never want to be called "Zhao Zheng", let alone call himself "Zhao Zheng". This great achievement of ending the troubled times, the world, and the vast territory of Jiuzhou also need a greater name.
To set off!
Then, spread it to all generations!
…
In the second month of the second month of the twenty-sixth year of the Qin Dynasty, this edict instructing the ministers to "discuss the emperor's title" caused an uproar in the government and the public in Xianyang City.
Prime Ministers Wei Zhuang, Wang Wan, Imperial Censor Feng Quji and others were the first to bear the brunt of the attack. Tingwei Li Si also gathered his staff and held meetings all day long to discuss the matter.
A copy of this edict was also sent to the office of the Langzhong Lingguan outside Xianyang Palace, and was circulated by the Langguan. Finally, it was finally passed to the desk of the newly appointed Liubaishi Yilang with a dark complexion...
Heifu stared at the beautiful small seal characters on the copy of the imperial edict and said to himself: "I never thought that this would happen to me on the second day after I took office!"
A test paper is handed out. When everyone is thinking hard and speculating, you already know the correct answer. What should you do at this time?
