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

Chapter 432 Loving your grandson is a long-term plan

just now!

There is no longer any dispute about the First Emperor's love for Zhao Si.

Not to mention anything else, even if it is for this grandson, there is no reason not to establish a heir apparent.

Feng Quji saw that the First Emperor had a satisfied smile on his face, so he stood up and went straight to the topic.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!" Feng Quji stepped forward to salute.

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor nodded and signaled Feng Quji to speak.

"Your Majesty succeeded to the throne when he was young, and it took him twenty-six years to destroy the six kingdoms and unify the world. Now the situation is clear. Although there is a small chaos, it will not endanger the overall situation. Peace among the world is just around the corner, just like the remnants of the six kingdoms. Rebellion is not worth mentioning. If there is something harmful, it is that the Qin Dynasty has not yet appointed a crown prince. Your Majesty knows the destiny. Although you are young and powerful, you still need to think about the things behind you. Your Majesty once said, In order to make the Qin Dynasty a unified line for all generations, so he is called the first and the emperor. At this time, it is time to select a person with both talents and virtues to appoint him as the prince. Only then can the court be more stable, the world more convinced, and the Qin Kingdom Zuo can be more..." Feng Qu There is a long list when I open my mouth quickly.

It is a recognized fact that if the country has no reserves, people will feel uneasy.

If it were a different emperor, the courtiers would have already begun to argue passionately with the emperor after delaying for so long. There would be no need to be as careful as Feng Quji in choosing words and sentences for fear of causing the First Emperor's dissatisfaction.

But the First Emperor was different from other emperors, so Feng Quji did not dare to go all out. He could only boast first, saying that the current situation was prosperous and that under the leadership of the First Emperor, the future would be great, and then he would discuss the matter of establishing the crown prince separately. Pick it out and say it.

Wearing thousands of clothes, but not wearing flattery, this will not make the First Emperor too dissatisfied.

Feng Quji thought to himself that what he said was very good, and he also thought that the time was right. He secretly observed the expression of the First Emperor. Although he was blocked by Mian Qi, he could feel that the First Emperor listened very seriously. After Feng Quji finished speaking, Standing still, I was overjoyed.

After hearing this, the First Emperor seemed to be thinking seriously about Feng Quji's words, which made Feng Quji feel even more excited.

Unexpectedly, the first words spoken by the First Emperor made Feng Quji's hair stand on end.

"What Doctor Feng means is that I am in my fifties and old, so I should appoint a prince as soon as possible to avoid instability in the court?" As the First Emperor spoke, his mood did not fluctuate much, but he maintained his power.

"Your Majesty, I definitely did not mean this!" Feng Quji immediately denied it after hearing this.

Although he thought so in his heart and the truth was indeed this, he absolutely could not admit it.

"You don't have to be like this, sir. I don't mean to accuse you." The First Emperor waved his hand.

"In recent days, when I was reviewing the memorials, there were more and more memorials urging him to establish the crown prince. However, the chaos in the world has not stopped yet. I don't understand. At this time, shouldn't the court ministers be thinking about making the world as soon as possible? Is it stable? Why are there more and more memorials to persuade the prince to be crown prince?

Could it be that by establishing a crown prince at this time, the world would be immediately stable?

If this is the case, I am not stingy about establishing the crown prince now, but all the princes are wise and benevolent, so you must know that such things are not easy.

I was just worried that if the crown prince was appointed too early, the prince would become slack and lose his moral character, lacking training, so I did not rush to establish the crown prince. "

The First Emperor finally gave his ministers an explanation.

As a result, the ministers asked Zhao Si to be king.

At least it was a positive response, rather than staying silent. At least it gave the ministers an attitude of being able to stand up for themselves.

However, not everyone can accept this.

The main reason is that Zhao Si's decision to be crowned king is too outrageous.

First of all, it broke the rules established after the unification of Qin.

Secondly, when the First Emperor conferred the title of king on Zhao Si, it was almost clear that he was a carrot and a pit, and the carrot came first.

I made this plate of dumplings specifically for this vinegar.

Everyone also followed the First Emperor because of the matter of the crown prince, but now that the First Emperor has treated him lightly, Feng Quji can accept it, but it does not mean that people who represent Zi Li can accept it.

For example, Xijilun...

Strictly speaking, this is no different from playing tricks on the officials.

When Feng Quji saw Xi Zhilun's brows furrowed and he was about to step out to meet the First Emperor, he quickly and quietly grabbed Xi Zhilun's sleeve.

An old man suddenly exploded into a small universe, causing Xi Zhilun, a middle-aged man in his forties, to tremble in place and not get out.

Feng Quji looked at Xi Zhilun seriously, shook his head and whispered: "The overall situation is the most important thing!"

When Xi Zhilun heard the sound, his brows furrowed even higher and his face was full of displeasure, but Feng Quji tightened his grip. Xi Zhilun struggled a few times but failed to break free, and finally had to turn his head away angrily.

Feng Quji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

The First Emperor was very opinionated and always spoke the truth.

Since it has been stated that it will not be established now, it cannot be decided today even if it is broken.

Not to mention Xizhilun's hard work, even if he threatens to resign or be killed in this court, it will be of no use.

I'm just afraid that Xizhi Lun's recklessness may have displeased the First Emperor and caused counter-effects.

No matter what, the First Emperor also responded today. At least he didn't gain anything. At the very least, he heard something, right?

Besides, it is a good thing for Zhao Si to be crowned king. After all, Zhao Si is the son of the eldest son, and he is willing to fight and endure.

Feng Quji was unhappy and returned home, so he would not be angry.

As for Xijilun? This guy is a lonely minister, and he can't pee in the same pot as Feng Quji.

Just because he supports Fusu and establishes the throne does not mean that his starting point in acting is for Fusu.

The starting point for his support of supporting Su and establishing the crown prince was the country, while the starting point for Feng Quji and his party was their own.

Xizhilun, who was stubborn, was also held back by Feng Quji. Wang Jian and Li Si didn't care about Fusu in the first place, so the matter of establishing a crown prince in today's court meeting ended without any problem.

Zhao Si was granted the title of king, but he still failed to establish the crown prince.

Because of the tense atmosphere between them, no one broke the deadlock, so the Umrah meeting ended in a hurry in less than half a day.

The first emperor and Zhao Si were left in the palace again.

After everyone dispersed, the First Emperor sat on the desk, looked at Zhao Si who was sitting upright beside him, and sighed quietly.

"It's never a holiday..."

In fact, the First Emperor did care about power.

In other words, there is no hero who does not care about the weight of power.

Because only the power lies in your own hands, and everything can be done according to your own will.

Of course, because of his dictatorship, the First Emperor's reputation was also very bad, and the courtiers therefore loved to delve into the emperor's thoughts...

Just like setting up a reserve...

Autocratic kings must have a close relationship between father and son. Otherwise, it is rare for a prince to be chosen early. Even if a prince is chosen, most of them will have various twists and turns.

There's nothing we can do about it.

As time goes by, people will grow old. As the king gets older, the courtiers will naturally focus on the prince.

Fights also arise...

Although the First Emperor himself was in good health now, at the age of over fifty, according to current common sense, he was already starting to decline.

That's why I expressed such emotion.

When the ministers talked about the matter of establishing a crown prince, the mood was even louder than before.

After all, the First Emperor was getting older.

Since immortality is illusory, the First Emperor had to consider his own affairs.

"What did the eldest father say?" Zhao Si laughed when he heard the sound.

"Now that my uncle is in good health, he will definitely live a long life." Zhao Si said seriously.

He was very serious and confident, because whenever Zhao Si was around the First Emperor, his halo of raw jade always shrouded the First Emperor. Moreover, Zhao Si now lived in the palace, and the First Emperor asked Zhao Si to live in the palace and teach him personally. It can be considered a surprise, as he moved the spring water directly to his home.

"Haha..." The First Emperor chuckled.

"I know the destiny. Sixty is sixty, seventy can be called a longevity person, and eighty is considered auspicious..." The First Emperor's eyes were dark.

This is the common sense of this era.

Even if the First Emperor was in good health, even if he was nourished by the aura of raw jade, it did not prevent this social common sense from being deeply ingrained in the mind of the First Emperor.

In the eyes of the First Emperor, this was reality.

He has gone through most of his life.

"You are now in your twenties and can no longer be considered a teenager. You should pay more attention to the affairs of the country..." The First Emperor looked at the playful Zhao Si and said.

Zhao Si is very good, but perhaps because he comes from a civilian background, he always feels that he lacks a bit of dignity.

The human part is too heavy, but the imperial part is too little.

This is what the First Emperor really loved, but in the First Emperor's opinion it was also something that must be corrected.

It must be admitted that Zhao Si is his grandson, and there is more than thirty years between them.

He didn't have much time to let Zhao Si grow up in a real sense. You must know that Zhao Si has been among the common people for so long, and he has only accepted the idea of ​​an emperor in the true sense for too short a period of time.

The First Emperor's previous training of Zhao Si also tended to train ministers rather than successors.

In short, the First Emperor was old and there was not much time left for him.

He must turn Zhao Si into his favorite look within a limited time.

"My eldest father will definitely live a long life!" Zhao Sifu emphasized again seriously.

Later, he noticed that the First Emperor seemed to be in a complicated mood, so Zhao Si chose to change the topic...

"The weather has been getting colder recently. When the heavy snow settles, the foreign invaders will probably be able to be completely suppressed. This year, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms cannot go all out to bring the Guanzhong troops to the city. They will only gradually weaken in the future." Zhao Si smiled.

"Yes..." The First Emperor nodded.

"It's going to snow... Dad's birthday is coming soon, isn't it? I recently thought up something good." Zhao Si chuckled.

When the First Emperor heard the sound, his original deepness seemed to melt away in an instant. He was a little happy, but he still wanted to save face. He just snorted and said: "We have the craftsmanship bureau. You can just leave it to the craftsmanship bureau for such matters." The extra thoughts you have can be focused on other things.”

"Isn't it the cold weather? I'm afraid that it will be too cold in the palace and my eldest father will catch a cold. Besides, it didn't take long. It was just an order. It involves a major project in the entire palace. I can't do it. ." Zhao Si ignored the First Emperor's criticism and explained the use of the Earth Fire Dragon to the First Emperor with a smile.

It is worth mentioning that with the popularity of coal stoves, coal is basically used in areas with coal mines.

Now Daqin's utilization of coal relies on official propaganda, and it has gradually established a certain foundation.

With more people using it, improvements were made, and the business system involved in the industry was formed.

It is conservatively estimated that there are tens of thousands of people who rely on coal mines to make a living.

As a result, the methods of utilizing coal were rapidly improved.

It may not be very advanced, but it must be close to people's livelihood.

The First Emperor watched Zhao Si vividly describe the uses of the Earth Fire Dragon, and listened to Zhao Si say that the palace in Nuoda could be warm even under the heavy snowfall in winter, and his heart felt warm.

The human touch that the First Emperor felt throughout his life existed only in memories...

What else could the First Emperor have to reprimand such a good saint-grandson? He could only say with an old face: "To be courteous for nothing, to be an adulterer or a thief, after all, what do you want?"

"What are you talking about..." Zhao Si scratched his head.

What could he want?

The First Emperor wanted to give it, but the good saint grandson didn’t seem to want anything?

But now that the First Emperor had spoken, Zhao Si suddenly remembered something.

There were a lot of things that happened recently, and it took Zhao Si a long time to digest them, so much so that he actually neglected his home.

"My eldest father, why don't you allow me two days off..."

It is estimated that Zhang Cang may have learned such big news based on his connections.

But having said that, Zhao Sike hasn't really informed his customers as soon as possible.

Oh yes, and his own woman, Yu Ji.

"When did I say you can't leave the palace?" The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Si.

This kid said this as if he was not allowed to leave. The First Emperor had said long ago that Zhao Si could enter and leave the palace freely.

But to put it this way, in fact these days, Zhao Si got up every day to greet the First Emperor, but was dragged by the First Emperor to make up lessons. The First Emperor was also a famous workaholic, so Zhao Si had to sit there and accompany the First Emperor all day long. Only when things are done can we get some free time to go out?

"Go ahead..."

The First Emperor waved his hand.

"You are entrusting the land to Zhao, but you cannot go to the enfeoffment. You can only let Zhang Cang and your retainers govern the country for you. Please discuss it with them during this period. Zhang Cang has a long-term vision. You can listen to his opinions more. Xiao He Your ability is good and you can promote more. You have the final say on the specific appointments. If you are not sure, come back and ask me. Tomorrow I will issue an edict to make you king and let the world know. Your ministers must rush to Zhao as soon as possible. "

"I understand." Zhao Si nodded, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

He was originally lazy, and the change of identity did allow Zhao Si to experience true family affection and have a real home. However, it also made Zhao Si feel the First Emperor's strong and breathless love for his grandchildren.

To be honest, only those who have personally experienced the intensity of the work of the First Emperor can have a say.

That's not a bit tiring...
