Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 16: Uprise and fall (please vote for recommendation!)

Xianyang Palace, Zhangtai.

It was noon at this time, and there were a few white clouds floating in the sky. The eaves of Xianyang Palace were covered with tiles, and when the sun shone over, it reflected the bright light, making the whole palace magnificent.

The palace was filled with fragrance, and the copper dripper was ticking.

Ying Zheng was pondering over the memorial in the palace. When he got tired from sitting on his knees for a long time, Ying Zheng began to lie down on the recliner and read the memorial.

After going to court and taking off his court clothes, Ying Zheng wore dark dark clothes and began to criticize memorials non-stop.

The more the territory expands, the more counties and counties will be added. Zhao, Han, and Yan have now become the territory of Qin. The land of Qin has been six times that of the past.

Ying Zheng was pondering over the memorial in the palace. When he got tired from sitting on his knees for a long time, Ying Zheng began to lie down on the recliner and read the memorial.

It was at this time that Chunyu Yue came to see him.

The hard nut of Zhao State was broken, and Ying Zheng was in a good mood this year.Without Zhao's hindrance, Qin's cavalry could conquer the city as easily as pulling weeds.

Zhao Gao rarely has a lot of leisure these days.The empire has always been a fast-moving carriage, but recently it seems that because of the flat road, the people on this carriage feel that the speed of the carriage has slowed down, and everyone is leisurely.

Chun Yuyue took the initiative to ask for an audience with the emperor. According to the past, he would naturally be blocked.

Doctor Pushe, although he was a doctor, had only a false name and did not do anything real for the emperor.

Just because Chunyu Yue was recommended to the emperor by Li Si and could do the task of Taifu, Chunyu Yue had the highest status among the doctors and servants. Because of this, others gave him a lot of face.

Zhao Gao asked:

"Chunyu Pushe, but what's the big deal?"

Chunyu Yue was originally from Qi State. More than ten years ago, when Marquis Wenxin of Qin State was still alive, he came to join Marquis Wenxin.A master in academics may not be a winner in the political arena.

He has always been on the fringes of political struggles, and under Lu Buwei, he was on the fringes of power; when Li Si issued a letter of remonstrance and expulsion, he profited from it and stayed in Xianyang City.

After all, it is the well-known Chunyu family in Qi State, plus Chunyu Yue came from Jixia Academy, and he was already quite famous in Qilu land when he was forty, he is really a young hero.

With Li Si's recommendation, Chunyu Yue could be regarded as a second-rate figure among Ying Zheng's foreign ministers.

"It concerns the young master. I would like to ask the official of the CRRC to report it to me."

Although Zhao Gao was the order of the CRRC, he had extremely high authority because he was trusted by the emperor.Although the matter of being in charge of communication and introductions was done by the Yezhe Order, Zhao Gao was able to take over the responsibilities of the Nine Ministers as well.If it is someone else, they don't have such great power.It's just that people around him are used to it. His Majesty the Emperor just likes and trusts Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao felt that since this matter concerned the eldest son, he should just report it.

In the hall, Ying Zheng heard that Chunyu Yue wanted to come, and said happily:
"I just want to see him and announce him to come in."

"only."

Zhao Gao seemed fine on the surface, but he was unhappy in his heart. Recently, His Majesty seemed to like the eldest son more than before.Counting the days, the eldest son is about to be crowned. Maybe the king has recently been thinking about establishing a heir apparent.

If Prince Fusu becomes King of Qin in the future, his life will definitely be difficult!
That's all, what do I want to do with this? The king is in his prime, how can I plot these things behind the king's back?

Zhao Gao personally brought Chunyu Yue in. Seeing that Ying Zheng had no intention of asking him to retreat, he listened openly and openly.

After Chunyu Yuebai met, Ying Zheng asked first:

"How is Fusu's studies lately?"

Chunyu Yue listened, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

"Young Master has been ill for a long time, and he just came to see me today to listen to you."

Ying Zheng listened and put the memorial on the case. He vaguely felt that Chunyu Yue came to him today because there was something unusual.

"Why do you want to see me?"

Chunyu Yue then told him exactly what Fusu said to him today, without missing a word.

Ying Zheng listened, but he still didn't know what he wanted to say.

"Did Fusu really say that?"

"I dare not lie to Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng sat in the upper seat, stroking his beard, and the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared.

Fusu asked Chunyu Yue to explain all these things to Ying Zheng, but he just meant the same thing.

Dad, I am 17 years old this year. All the princes in the past have been granted the title of prince at a young age. My son is now 17 years old and has not been granted the title of prince. This shows that he is not a saint enough to be a king. ', he is not a person favored by fate.Since my son is not capable of this, I will not hesitate to give up the throne decisively. From now on, I want to be an ordinary minister. It depends on whether you agree, father.

If you agree, I will give up on this idea from now on. If you don't agree, then you still want to pass the throne to his son, so please give me some instructions.

"The way of a saint has God's help. Does he think he can't be a saint because he doesn't have God's help?"

The hall was silent, no one dared to answer this.

"Zhao Gao, bring Fusu to see me."

"only!"

After Zhao Gao left, Ying Zheng said to Chunyu Yue:
"I think Fusu is right. In the past, he learned poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, and music, but it restricted himself. I think these days, he really wants to do something practical that is beneficial to the country."

As a Confucian master, Chun Yuyue couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard King Qin say such things.

Ying Zheng said again:

"Chunyuqing, how long have you taught Fusu?"

"It's eight years old."

"Ever since Fusu learned how to read and write, you have been your teacher. I want to reward you for your hard work. Over the years, I have seen that you are upright, rigorous in your studies, and even more meticulous in etiquette. Fusu can have the courage he has today. , and you are inseparable. I decided to make you the great minister, and I will sort out the world's books at my Shangshu desk."

When the emperor established his official position, he first had six major officials: Dazai, Dazong, Dashi, Dazhu, Dashi, Dafu, and Diansi Liudian.

Dazai's responsibility is to "take charge of the six kinds of books in the country to assist the king in governing the country." The six kinds of books are the governance code, the religious code, the ritual code, the political code, the criminal code, and the official code. It can be seen that the Dazai at that time was the head of the hundred officials, equivalent to Later chancellor or chancellor.

But later, due to the decline of the royal family, the importance of the official position of Dazai declined a lot during the Spring and Autumn Period, so that he was excluded from the Sangong (Taishi, Taifu, Taibao).After the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the position of Dazai was stopped.See Zhou Dynasty official system.

During the Qin Dynasty, the Dazai was the official responsible for the emperor's diet and sacrificial food offerings.

King Qin Zhengming promoted Chunyu Yue, but he actually found another place to send him. This meant that the young master Fusu no longer had to listen to his lectures in the future.

For Chun Yuyue, his transfer was undoubtedly a demotion for him.After leaving Young Master Fusu, he might have even more chances in the future.But young master Fusu, he will definitely have a bright future in the future.

Thinking that Fusu would have the opportunity to become the crown prince in the future, Chunyu Yue felt that it was not a loss.

The more Chunyu understood Fusu, he was a teacher for a day and a teacher for a lifetime. It was impossible for Fusu to forget the teachings he had given him in the past.

Moreover, what happened today was that Chunyu Yue took the initiative to achieve Fusu. Otherwise, he would have to stay in the harem and learn the six arts, and would not be able to wait for Qin Wangzheng's next arrangement for him.
