Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 438 The king’s title is decided

"good!"

After receiving Zhao Si's reply, the First Emperor showed a satisfied smile on his face.

The last small stone hanging in the heart of the First Emperor finally fell to the ground.

There are actually many things that this talented and strategic king cannot interfere with, such as birth, old age, illness and death.

Although he can pave the way for Zhao Si, he cannot decide whether Zhao Si can have children.

Zhao Si is not young now, nearly twenty-six years old. In this era and age, it is really rare that he has not given birth to an heir. Yu Ji's pregnancy at least proves one thing. His good saint grandson can still have children. As for saying It's too early to tell about other feelings.

For reasons of heir, the First Emperor even managed to show a rare act of kindness as an elder, restrained his majesty as a king, and asked Yu Ji some family matters, so that Yu Ji was a little flattered. Strictly speaking, this was Yu Ji's first This was the first time I had such a conversation with Zhao Si's elders. Both parties were a little embarrassed. Zhao Si was still in the middle to liven up the atmosphere, and it ended successfully.

After Zhao Si left with Yu Ji, the smile on the Emperor's face slowly faded, and he began to think about what kind of meeting gift he would give Yu Ji.

After all, Yu Ji is also the first pregnant wife of Zhao Si, which can be regarded as eliminating some bad possibilities for the First Emperor.

After thinking for a moment, the First Emperor waved his hand and asked Qian to prepare some of the most vulgar gold and silver ornaments as rewards.

It is worth mentioning that as more and more gold and silver minerals are transported back by Fuso, Daqin's gold and silver reserves are now much richer than before. The purchasing power of precious metals such as gold and silver can be imagined. Of course, Today's gold and silver are not currencies in the strict sense, but they are also hard currency in the market.

However, although there was a lot of gold and silver transported back, it did not flow into the market on a large scale under Zhao Si's suggestion and the deliberate control of the First Emperor. Currently, a large amount of gold and silver has become Qin's strategic reserve. As for how to use so much gold and silver in the future, Silver's strategy remains open to question.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Si was surprised to find that since she was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yu Ji was no longer sad. She was smiling and couldn't stop smiling at all.

Zhao Si was also very surprised to face the reality of becoming a father. He only leaned his head on Yu Ji's belly and listened. Apart from the gurgling gastrointestinal motility, he could not hear any other sounds.

"I've just been pregnant, what can I hear?" Yu Ji looked at Zhao Si who looked serious and covered her mouth while laughing.

"You can hear the gurgling..." Zhao Si gently poked Yu Ji's belly, and patiently covered Yu Ji's belly with his raw jade halo.

"Hey, what do you think our child will be like after he is born?" Zhao Si scratched his head.

Because of the animal garden, Zhao Si had a sudden idea.

His raw jade aura has obvious beneficial effects on animals and plants. If an animal is shrouded in the raw jade aura from birth, it will receive an extremely obvious benefit.

What will happen to my own doll that has been nourished by the halo of raw jade from her mother's womb?

"Well... it should be for the better..." Zhao Simo thought quietly, stroking his chin.

Yu Ji didn't answer, she just caressed her still flat belly with a heartfelt smile on her face.

Giving birth to children was a top priority for women in ancient times.

It was only at this moment that the sense of security in Yu Ji's heart was maximized.

In the future, she finally doesn't have to worry about her old age or her loss of status after marrying her.

If there was any hope, Yu Ji only hoped that the child in her belly would be a boy.

She had been married to Zhao Si for so long and had worked hard for so long. Only Yu Ji knew how hard-won this child was.

After that, life goes on as usual...

There are more and more discussions about Zhao Si being crowned king. On the other hand, Xiao He and others are also actively handing over official duties and are ready to rush to Zhao.

Outside the Great Wall, the border areas that were the first to be in turmoil were the fastest to declare peace under the leadership of Han Xin.

So far, most of the Yan State's rebel forces have been eliminated. Under the leadership of Chen Yu, the Zhao State's reactionary forces are still attacking the rule of the Qin government under the banner of Zhao Si's uncle Gongzi Xie.

Chen Yu was still somewhat capable. With various means, he mobilized 30,000 troops, contacted Zhao's nobles, and conquered several cities. It was difficult to resist for a while with only local county soldiers.

Fortunately, Handan and other major counties and cities have not been lost, and a large number of speculators are still in a wait-and-see period. Smart people know that it is useless to make a big fuss now. The key thing is whether Chen Yu can survive it. When the Qin army comes to suppress them, bullying the county soldiers is not a big deal.

As for the Lingnan Corps in the south, at the same time, the Lingnan barbarians and the rebel forces in Chu and other places were attacking from the front and back. They were able to beat the rebellious Lingnan tribes while beating the Chu rebel forces with their hands free to retreat.

After all, in this time and space, all the outstanding people in Chu State have been raided by Zhao Si. The Xiang family, the only one with real appeal and ability, has been deliberately targeted and moved to Xianyang. The remaining rebel forces in Chu State are almost all a mob. .

But at least the Chu State pulled out a Xiong Xin. Although the relationship was a little distant, it was still a banner, and the cohesion was still barely there. In addition, Zhao Tuo's first strategic goal was to stabilize the barbarians in Lingnan, so the Chu State area The rebel forces are still on the rise.

As for the Rong people... there was just a little bit of commotion. Han Xin directly led 10,000 people to wipe out Donghu and Yueshi. In addition, the main force of the Great Wall Corps was still hoarding on the Great Wall defense line, so there was a moment of commotion, foreplay. I quickly regained my composure before I was done.

The land of Shu is more abstract... and it's just beginning to have the meaning of commotion.

The war in other places has been going on for a long time before the people of Shu thought about joining the group... The news channels are indeed one version behind. By the time the real chaos breaks out in Shu, the world will probably have been completely calmed down.

It is worth mentioning that the shipping and trade military government led by Li Xin was responsible for the navy and the obscene wars along the northeastern coast.

Zhang Liang relied on the prestige of the deceased Lord Canghai and his own methods to become the common commander of the evil people. Just like Su Qinpei's seal of the six kingdoms, Zhang Liang ordered the evil people from several countries to join forces and fight with Li Li in the coastal area. The letter started a fight.

Perhaps Li Xin was motivated by his failure in the battle against Chu? Or for other reasons? The war has not made much progress.

In fact, Li Xin’s strategy cannot be wrong...

As long as the Central Plains is peaceful, every dirty person can be wiped out with a snap of the finger...

It was Zhang Liang who should be anxious. However, although he was well-equipped, he did not take the initiative to attack. He gave up the advantage of Nuo Da in vain, but in vain gave Zhang Liang the space and time to sort out the bad people in various countries, so that there has been no progress in the northeastern border area. , somewhat depressing.

In short, everything is developing in a good direction.

Perhaps because of Yu Ji's pregnancy, the First Emperor's daily training and guidance for Zhao Si was unusually relaxed. After handling most of the daily memorials, Zhao Si would be allowed to leave first.

Obviously, in some aspects, the First Emperor also had his delicate thoughts.

Although Zhao Si has not been exposed to orthodox royal education for a long time, there are many things that require the words and deeds of the First Emperor, but when it comes to his family, the First Emperor still gave Zhao Si some room to relax.

Since Yu Ji moved to the palace, Zhao Si would always be shrouded in a halo of raw jade every day when getting along with Yu Ji to avoid any accidents. At the same time, as a lonely person for two lifetimes, some expectations emerged in his heart. .

The birth of new life is always so magical...

As for the people above the court, they were still chattering endlessly about Zhao Si being crowned king.

But today, the debate has finally come to an end.

Without him, the Great Court Meeting is about to be held...

Meetings involving civil and military officials will not be reported unless they are major matters. After all, the administrative agency needs someone to maintain it. Meetings are often held. If things go on like this, there will be no need to do anything else every day, just hold meetings.

Therefore, everyone knows the purpose of this great meeting.

That is the matter of Zhao Si being crowned king.

The court meeting was held as scheduled... Zhao Si's role quietly changed.

In the past, when a large court meeting was held, Zhao Si would wait in the main hall with all the ministers.

But now, it has become a group of ministers waiting for him.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have arrived, do you want to move?" The officer from the CRRC Office came in and bowed and spoke.

The First Emperor, dressed in formal black robes, nodded slightly.

The crown on top of his head also swayed slightly.

Zhao Si heard the sound and helped the First Emperor to stand up, the crown of his head shaking.

It's just that the one on the head of the First Emperor was twelve, and the one on Zhao Si's head was nine.

In fact, Mianqi was not only used by kings at the beginning. In the beginning, in addition to the emperor, all princes, ministers and officials could use Mianqi.

Later, after the First Emperor unified the world, Mianqi became exclusive for the royal family.

Just like the word "I", it did not belong only to the emperor at first.

According to the regulations after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the emperor had twelve zodiac signs and the prince had nine zodiac signs.

As for the emperor's grandson, he never said it clearly. According to the unspoken rules, the emperor's grandson cannot wear Mianqi.

But obviously Zhao Si is an exception. This outfit was specially selected and purchased by the First Emperor for Zhao Si. It was a selection of the clothes that the First Emperor wore when he succeeded to the throne as a young boy.

Although the First Emperor was taller than Zhao Si, he was younger when he succeeded to the throne and his body was not fully developed, so his clothes unexpectedly matched those of Zhao Si.

In addition to the emperor's grandson, Zhao Si is still a prince and the king of Zhao, so wearing the clothes of the first emperor when he was king is not strictly against the rules.

However, it is the First Emperor who has the final say whether to violate the rules or not. The laws of the entire Qin Dynasty serve the king. Obviously, the First Emperor, the founding emperor, has the highest right of interpretation.

Zhongchefu ordered Guizhou to go in front, and Zhao Siluo, the first emperor, was half a step behind.

After a while, they arrived at the side hall. After Qian Tong passed the official announcement, the First Emperor made a grand appearance. The ministers saluted. Zhao Si bowed and followed behind the First Emperor, half a step behind, which could be regarded as indirectly enjoying the respectful welcome of the ministers.

It is worth mentioning that this is a great court meeting, and all the princes, Zhao Si’s uncles and even his own father Fusu are also present with their hats on their heads to salute...

"Everyone is safe!"

The First Emperor shook his arms and sat down calmly. Then he waved his hand and motioned for Zhao Si to sit down.

Zhao Si carefully knelt down beside the First Emperor, keeping his figure straight and the crown on his head motionless.

The ministers were all surprised and thought about the scene in front of them.

While Feng Quji's brows soothed, his heart became a little calmer.

Even the comfortable Wang Jian was a little surprised, let alone Wang Li who was following Wang Jian.

Wang Li looked at Zhao Si, who was kneeling next to the First Emperor, and his expression was inevitably a little dazed.

Good guy... We agreed to become ministers of the same palace together, and you actually became His Majesty's grandson without saying a word. Not only was he a grandson, but you also became a prince, and you were also the King of Zhao!

After all, it was the change in identity that made Wang Li feel a little uneasy subconsciously. Looking over, Zhao Si's face was obscured by the crown, and there was no expression on it.

"The court meeting will be held today to discuss only the affairs of Zhao land. The land of old Zhao has a vast territory..."

The First Emperor spoke and explained the purpose of holding this court meeting.

On the surface, just as the First Emperor said, the rebellion in the land of Old Zhao continued, and the geographical location of this place was too dangerous, so we could not take advantage of it. We decided to put down the rebellion in the land of Old Zhao as soon as possible and let the land of Old Zhao To stabilize the situation as soon as possible, after discussing with the three gongs and nine ministers, it was decided to enfeoff Zhao Si, who was born in the Zhao clan, as the king of Zhao to govern the Zhao land in order to put down the rebellion in the old Zhao land as soon as possible. Because the title of king is a major event, it must be After notifying the ministers, he made a hasty decision. If the ministers feel that something is wrong, they can discuss it. If the discussion is completed, Zhao Si will make the king of Zhao.

After the First Emperor spoke, it was time for the ministers to speak.

Make the king!

What a big deal after all!

Even if the three ministers and nine ministers did not speak first, the ministers were still talking about it.

The overall discussion was roughly the same as the content of the memorial that Zhao Si had seen previously.

It is nothing more than divided into opposition, pro and centrist groups.

The civil and military officials throughout the dynasty each held their own opinions and spoke out one after another.

The father-in-law said the public was right, and the mother-in-law said the mother-in-law was right. Obviously, until the First Emperor did not make a decision and the three ministers and nine ministers did not come to an end, even if they fought for a year, there would be no results.

Feng Quji was hesitating whether he should provide assistance at this time to help Zhao Si become the king and strengthen the eldest son's reputation for establishing a heir apparent. Feng Quji also wanted to observe for a while to gauge the First Emperor's attitude toward the heir apparent. Unexpectedly, Even in this moment of hesitation, someone had already taken the lead.

Wang Jian touched his beard and stood up from the wheelchair shakily.

"The young master was born in the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom. The young master Xie lives in Xianyang. Chen Yu just used the name of the young master to lead the Zhao people to resist the Qin Dynasty. If the young master is granted the title of King of Zhao at this time, how can Chen Yu continue to deceive Zhao? People? Therefore, the rebellion of Zhao State can be decided at a snap of the finger!"

As one of the three princes, Wang Jian was a person with great qualifications and reputation, and he was also the only Chehou in Da Qin. His words still had weight, so the opposition's momentum was greatly reduced.

Feng Quji was surprised, and when he looked at Li Si again, he actually seemed to be moving, and hurriedly followed suit.

Li Si had a smile on his face, and Fuyou looked on calmly.

Two of the three princes already spoke in agreement, and Li Si did not express his objection clearly. Therefore, Jiu Qing agreed, so there was only one voice left in the court.

The title of king is decided!

Just when the First Emperor was about to make an announcement, Li Si, an excellent minister, narrowed his eyes and stepped forward to speak.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

The First Emperor nodded upon hearing this.

"I am not against the young master being crowned king, but I would like to ask Your Majesty, since the Zhao land is in urgent need of stability, and since the young master has finalized the matter of being crowned king, when will the young master leave Xianyang and go to the fiefdom to proclaim himself king in order to stabilize the Zhao land?"

Hearing this, the First Emperor glanced at Li Si...

Even if there is no communication in advance, the tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers remains as before.
