"Despite this, I still don't think highly of them. My father and the prince are both men with bright eyes. Do you really think that if you change someone else and change your principles... you can preach?"
"It's just..., those pagoda people are indeed available."
Hu Hai muttered something.
Buddha?
Buddhist?
Ranked among the top 100!
I have no interest in the movements of those pagoda people. If they can be used for their own use, then I will be interested.
Zhao Gao said that among the pagodas, there were strong men who could rival Wuzhen Junhou.
Lord Wuzhen!
Even if your own practice is not very good, you still know that among hundreds of schools, when it comes to practice, the princes are the first!
"For the people of Pagoda."
"It's difficult to control them, but... it's enough for them to ask for something."
"That's the way to govern people."
"Recently, the Tingwei Mansion has issued many laws and regulations. After you practice these new words, copy them down and present them to the king."
"Want to achieve something big?"
"event?"
"Even the most skilled winemakers in Zhuxia cannot brew such a fine wine overnight."
"They are all picked first, the best materials are selected, and carefully brewed. That... takes a long, long time."
The people of Futu do not have many interests among the Xia, and their strength is extraordinary. It would not be wise to set a trap against them.
Look at Hu Hai.
It is a good thing to have the heart to control others, but the prerequisite is to grasp your own ability and whether you can control others, otherwise you will easily be backlashed.
Do you want to directly gain the attention of the king, and then become completely famous, and even... become the crown prince, all at once?
That is absolutely impossible to happen. I know your Majesty very well.
But he couldn't fully understand the king.
He took away the written Buddhist characters and handed the brand-new written record to Hu Hai. He had to eat the food one bite at a time.
"What I hear most from you is waiting!"
"Just wait!"
"If my father had waited like that, how could we be the emperor today?"
Hu Hai looked unhappy and took a stack of papers from Zhao Gao.
In principle, I understand it myself.
But Zhao Gao has been acting like this, and really... I don't like it.
wait?
Wait until what time?
Wait until Fusu becomes bigger?
Wait until the young master grows up?
Or wait until the father has other young masters whom he admires?
"Your mother was guilty of many crimes back then, so you were born to be disliked by the king."
"In recent years, it is enough to have such a change."
"If you are not satisfied with this, you can... choose someone else to help you!"
"Among my choices, you are the best, but not the only one."
Zhao Gao just smiled.
I got a further level of mystical skills today, and I feel very good.
Despite this, it doesn't mean that Hu Hai can lose his temper with him. He... doesn't have the qualifications, at least not yet.
Does Hu Hai think he can control himself now?
Can you command yourself?
Leave a word, take one step and disappear.
"you……."
"snort!"
Zhao Gao's gentle words with a hint of coldness lingered in his ears, Hu Hai's heart skipped a beat, and his expression froze.
Watching Zhao Gao's leaving figure, he pondered for a long time and lowered his head to look at the pile of papers on the case.
Very unhappy.
His eyes, which were born with amber color, narrowed slightly, took a deep breath, looked at the drink that had not yet been drunk, and threw it directly into the pool next to him.

"This is the He's Jade among Suihe's two treasures!"
In the past few days, Zhou Qing has been staying in his mansion and even asked for leave. Anyway, he has nothing to do in the daily court meetings.
There are various major offices in the national government that are proceeding in an orderly manner.
In Tingwei Mansion, Li Si's ability goes without saying.
The same goes for other major offices.
In this way, it doesn't matter whether you are present at the court meeting or not. If you have the time, it would be a good choice to explore the deep-seated mysteries of intertwined cultivation of life and death with Dongjun, Xueer and the others on the couch.
Of course, if Xiaomeng didn't cause trouble, the effect would be better.
It would be better if Xi'er didn't cause trouble!
…
After all, I was still a prince and still held an official position. In the middle of the day, someone came from Xianyang Palace to summon you.
Naturally, he couldn't neglect it, so he went with him to the royal city and entered the hall of Xingle Palace. Zhou Qing saw a five-foot high platform placed in the middle of the hall.
Above... there is a strange piece of jade!
Why is it strange?
If what you see is right, it should be the Heshi Bi that has been famous in the Xia Dynasty for more than a hundred years!
As famous as Sui Houzhu!
But his reputation is even greater than that of Sui Houzhu!
According to legend, Suihou Zhu was traveling with his country's monarch in the Spring and Autumn Period and saw an injured snake lying on the side of the road.
Just order someone to get medication for treatment.
Afterwards, the strange beast snake returned.
Suddenly one day, he brought a rare orb from his mouth to express his gratitude. It became a treasure passed down to Suiguo. Later, Suiguo was destroyed and the treasure was passed on.
Finally entered the Qin State!
In addition, He's Bi, which had already entered the Qin Dynasty, and Suihe's two treasures, which were famous in the Zhou Dynasty, are all in Xianyang Palace. To be honest, it was Wen Xin Hou Lu Buwei who did it.
After King Zhaoxiang, Lu Buwei vaguely controlled the state affairs, and the Qin State became more powerful. Coupled with the existence of the net, many treasures from the Xia Dynasty entered the Qin Dynasty.
It was during that period that Suihe Erbao entered the State of Qin.
Yingge also told herself about this matter. When she was still under the cover of night, Ji Wuye ordered her to go to Zhao State to search for He's Bi.
After the completed jade returned to Zhao, Lin Xiangru became famous in the Xia Dynasty during the Mianchi meeting, and Heshi's jade was left in Handan, Zhao State. However, Yingge searched for it in Handan for a long time, but found nothing.
Later, traces of the snare were vaguely discovered in Handan. Needless to say... the snare must have been launched earlier.
The Suihou Pearl originally belonged to the country, but later fell into the Chu Kingdom. It was also found in the net and went directly into Xianyang Palace. Although it was no longer a secret later, the other countries did not have the courage to take it away.
"I have succeeded in compiling custom texts. I want to be the first in the world."
"In addition, the Great Qin wiped out all the other countries and unified the Xia. The original King's Seal of Great Qin was not enough to carry that glory. The princes and princes also said that I should create a brand new King's Seal."
"The emperor's seal!"
"I have thought about it over and over again, and this is the only thing in Xianyang Palace that can qualify."
"He's Bi!"
"This piece of rough jade obtained from Chu State may become the emperor's seal, which is its final destination."
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, stood in front of the high platform in his regular uniform and crown. When he saw the emperor's brother approaching, he smiled slightly, and then stroked the huge Heshi Bi with his palms.
This piece of Heshi Bi!
Very big!
Bian He, a native of Chu, found a stone in a cave and presented it to the king of Chu twice, but received no response.
Instead, both feet were looked at.
Later, the King of Chu took pity on the stone and ordered the craftsmen to peel off the surface of the stone and carve it slightly, which resulted in a beautiful jade, quite like a jade biscuit.
More than a foot in diameter!
About half a foot thick!
The color on the surface is not uniform, but looks like white jade from a distance. When you step on it, it is shimmering and colorful due to the reflection of light.
It's as if all the colors are contained within it.
If you take a closer look, it seems that all the colors are hidden in it, and the overall tone becomes calm and heavy.
Slightly adjust the direction, and the color changes faintly again.
At that time, the King of Chu carved Bian He's stone into this unique jade!
Similar to the records circulated in other countries, the Heshi Bi is very large. Although it is a jade bi, it is still a piece of rough jade and has not yet been completely carved into a utensil.
Maybe... everyone feels that it is a waste to carve out such a piece of rough jade.
It... detracts from it.
Placed on a shelf on a high platform, Zhou Qing looked at it carefully.
"This jade... this is the first time Xuanqing has seen it."
"It is indeed worthy of being a treasure!"
"Use it to carve the emperor's seal!"
"very good!"
Zhou Qing also stroked the piece of He's jade with one hand. Over the course of time, the emperor's seal carved on the He's jade disappeared.
It's a pity.
Now... I haven't seen the emperor's seal, but I have seen this piece of Heshi jade.
It is indeed beautiful.
At that time, the late King Zhaoxiang used the city to change it. Although there were some jokes, it was enough to prove its identity. It was indeed an ordinary piece of beautiful jade.
The late King Zhaoxiang would never speak like that.
"Hahaha, this piece of jade... I think there should be some leftover to carve it into the emperor's seal."
"When the time comes, I will carve a piece of the prince's seal for the prince."
The First Emperor Ying Zheng also looked at the jade in front of him with admiration. This jade... he had not seen it too many times.
It's not that I'm not qualified to see him, it's just that I'm not interested.
Even though it is a piece of jade that is famous among all the Xia, after all, it is just a jade article, not a useful thing. Now... it has come in handy.
Very beautiful indeed.
King Zhaoxiang was so pleased with this item that he wanted to exchange fifteen cities for He's Bi, which was considered priceless.
The general shape of the emperor's seal came to mind. One seal cannot use up all the jade material, there must be a lot leftover.
"Your Majesty, can you order someone to build it?"
Zhou Qing moved his eyes away from the He family's jade and looked at the emperor's brother.
"None yet."
"...Could it be that the Duke and Lord have intentions?"
"Does the prince also know how to carve jade?"
Ying Zheng waved his hand. The standard writing had not yet been completely completed. He was just going to have someone carve the jade into shape and then carve the writing on it.
Engraved with Da Qin's brand-new characters.
Craftsman?
They should be looking for it from the Shaofu.
Facing the emperor's younger brother's gaze, Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile, as if... he understood the unintended meaning of the emperor's younger brother's words. But could the emperor's younger brother know how to carve it out?
"nature."
"One method can apply to all methods, carving skills, Xiao Daoer."
"Xuan Qing has nothing to do at home recently, why not... leave the carving of the emperor's seal to Xuan Qing."
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Zhou Qing indeed had this intention.
"Hahaha, I'm naturally relieved."
"If the prince has this intention, it would be better."
Although Ying Zheng was surprised, he had no objection.
The emperor's younger brother never let himself down in his work.
"I will not disappoint His Majesty. Next, Xuan Qing will summon the academicians to determine the shape of the emperor's seal and then carve it."
Zhou Qing smiled.
"Can!"
"In this case, I can look forward to the emperor's seal."
Ying Zheng nodded, looked at the He family jade in front of him again, raised his hand to summon the waiter not far away, and ordered him to deliver the jade to the emperor's younger brother's residence.
"You've been quite free lately."
"I'm so busy day and night that I don't go to bed until after midnight."
"Meng Yi, pick out the official documents compiled by the National Government and the Tingwei Mansion and show them to the princes and princes."
After removing the high platform, the First Emperor Ying Zheng turned slightly and gave instructions to Meng Yi.
"Here!"
Meng Yi immediately sorted out the documents on the case in front of him, took four thick volumes of memorials and documents in his hand, and handed them to the Marquis of Wuzhen County.
"Is it complete?"
Zhou Qing knew about the new official system.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, various countries have competed for hegemony and wars have been frequent. In order to cope with the emergence of many things, various official systems have gradually emerged, and various official positions have also appeared.
Show up quickly!
It means there may be hidden dangers!
Often the monarch directly decides on his head. If something happens and he decides on a new official position, there may be conflicts with each other.
Nowadays, all counties and counties under the Xia system are integrated, and they should have official official positions to match them.
Zhou Qing did not intervene. Many new official systems and official positions over the years were gradually developed after encountering new situations.
Even if we present the three-province-six-ministry system, the cabinet system, and the civil and military government system, the emperor might still find it strange.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a prime minister? If you feel that the prime minister is tired, there is still a prime minister.
The six ministries have responsibilities. Within the government, there are also various major agencies. Even though the names are different, the underlying functions are generally the same.
"It's generally done. After taking a look at it, do you think it's complete?"
It is already the month of late autumn, and in one month it will be a new year.
At that time, it would be necessary to create a new language, official system, official positions... Time was still a bit tight. First Emperor Ying Zheng took a cup of tea, held it in his hand, and sipped it casually.
Generally speaking, regarding those matters, I took the opportunity of He Shibi today to hear the emperor's younger brother's opinion. After all...the emperor's younger brother has always given him a different perspective.
"This is the national government, the official system planned by Tingwei?"
"Outline the outline and fit the county into one."
"The official system of the royal city with Your Majesty as the center!"
"The three-gong and nine-qing system is centered on the state minister, the state captain, and the imperial censor. However, in the nine-qing system, there are also many administrative offices that belong to the official system of the Xianyang Palace."
"In the county system centered on the county magistrate and the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county magistrate each have their own responsibilities."
"The basic system centered on the township, pavilion, and village!"
"The four-in-one system has created a new official system in the Qin Dynasty. It is indeed magnificent!"
Zhou Qing read the documents and memorials very quickly, not to mention that they were all words on paper, no better than bamboo slips. The emperor's brother drank tea and closed the last document.
The sigh fell.
It is already difficult to transform the complicated and chaotic official system of the Warring States Period into a brand new system.
Even the various official systems that have evolved over time are based on this set of principles.
"Hahaha, I...I'm not here to listen to the praises of the princes."
"Drink tea!"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng smiled brightly.
I have been thinking about these four documents for two or three days, and I think they are quite good.
But... there should be some imperfections, it's hard to say where exactly, so... the emperor's younger brother appeared in Xingle Palace.
"This new official system is very good."
"If there are some flaws, in Xuanqing's opinion, it is that the system belonging to Xianyang Palace and the system of the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers are intertwined."
"Among the nine ministers, some are under the jurisdiction of Xianyang Palace, and some are under the jurisdiction of the Three Dukes."
"In this regard, Xuanqing believes that the responsibilities can be made clearer, and what belongs to Xianyang Palace belongs directly to Xianyang Palace."
"Whatever belongs to the Three Lords belongs directly to the Three Lords."
"The list of nine ministers, Lang Zhongling, Feng Chang, Weiwei, Taipu, Zongzheng, will be the Shaofu, Tingwei, Dianke, and govern the internal history of Su."
"According to what is said above, the Lang Zhongling is in charge of the palace and is in charge of the palace and the emperor's security. It belongs to Xianyang Palace."
"Feng Chang, the general in charge of the Taimiao, Taizhu, Taishi, Taizai, Taibu, Taile and other departments also belongs to Xianyang Palace!"
"Weiwei is responsible for the important position of close protection of His Majesty, and also belongs to Xianyang Palace!"
"Your Majesty, Zongzheng also belongs to Xianyang Palace."
"In this way, among the nine ministers, there are five people who have entered Xianyang Palace and belong to them. The only ones who belong to the three princes are Tingwei and Dianke, who are responsible for the internal history of Su and will be the Shaofu."
"And those who will serve as the Young Master will always regard Xianyang Palace as the most respected one!"
"Xuanqing believes that we should directly separate them, clarify their belongings, and determine their responsibilities!"
