There were many different opinions on the issue of the emperor's title. Zhao Tuo knew it well in his mind. He had the answer in mind and listened to the dog-headed military advisors under his command offering advice and suggestions for the king's title.
The weird and bizarre imperial titles made him want to laugh. If the imperial titles that Li Shiqi, Heiyi and others came up with had some merit, then the ones that Zhongli Mei, Xiqigu and others came up with were a bit different.
No longer on the stage.
This matter is of great importance. The title of the emperor is a title that matches the great king's achievements, so it must be carefully controlled.
Although the king ordered many ministers, ministers, and doctors to come and discuss the matter, not all of them were able to give advice to the king in person.
It is to go through the first and second trials by the corresponding supervisors. After that, the ministers will report to the king and the King of Qin will do the final trial to determine the highest title representing the ruler of the Qin Empire.
Early that morning, Zhao Tuo and Shejian changed into court clothes and held the gui to enter the Qin Palace to participate in today's court meeting.
At the palace gate, they happened to meet Wang Ben who got off the carriage.
"I've seen the state captain." The two people hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Although Zhao Tuo now has the same title as Wang Ben, he is a junior, and he was Wang Ben's subordinate when he conquered Wei, and Wang Ben also had the title of state captain.
, he, Zhao Tuo, was a high nobility and his position was lower than that of Wang Ben no matter how he looked at it, so he had to treat him respectfully.
"It turns out it's the concubine Zhao, She Zhong Geng." Wang Ben smiled, but he was not arrogant. He returned the gift and just walked into the palace gate with the two of them.
He asked: "Chief Zhao has always been astute and favored by the king. I think he can understand the king's heart when discussing the emperor's title." Zhao Tuo shook his head and said: "The king's achievements in conquering the world are rare in the world. Even if he is trying to pluck his intestines and stomach, he will do it."
, it is difficult to find an imperial title that can match the achievements of the king." Wang Bendan said: "The achievements of the king's unification are indeed too great to be matched. In my mansion, a group of officials discussed for several days, but it was difficult to find an honorable one.
His name is comparable to that of a great king."
"I heard that the doctor's palace has come up with a good emperor's title. Even the prime minister, the imperial censor, and the court lieutenant all agreed after hearing this. Today they are probably going to use the emperor's title that the doctors have agreed upon to present it to the king.
, maybe it will make the king happy." Zhao Tuo's heart moved, this time about discussing the emperor's title.
In the court hall, the prime minister, the imperial censor, the state officials, the Shaofu, Zhisu Neishi and other ministers, as well as high-ranking officials like Zhao Tuo, can express their opinions.
Now the Prime Minister, the Imperial Censor and the Tingwei have joined forces and approved the imperial title discussed by the doctor. It seems that the imperial title is indeed extraordinary.
While Zhao Tuo was thinking about it, Wang Ben said casually: "By the way, Zhao Tuo was twenty years old last year, right?" Zhao Tuo hurriedly replied: "What Bang Wei said was that Zhao Tuo was twenty years old last year.
.”
"It's the right age to be crowned and marry a wife." Wang Ben nodded, looked at Zhao Tuo with a somewhat meaningful look, and said casually: "The eldest son is also at this age. According to ancient rituals, he should have been crowned at the last year of his life.
"However, the war was fierce last year, so the king postponed it. This year the world is unified, I think this matter will not be delayed any longer. After the crown, it is time to get a wife. Alas, I really envy Tingwei." Wang Ben said since
Gu said something, then shook his head and sighed.
Zhao Tuo was startled, but then he realized what he was doing. This was Wang Ben's reminder. Fusu was going to be crowned this year, and he would be able to marry after that.
Wang Ben's words of admiration for Tingwei were equivalent to reminding Zhao Tuo that Fusu's wife was most likely Li Si's daughter.
Zhao Tuo blinked. If Fusu was Li Si's son-in-law, would the Dune Conspiracy in history still happen?
After being surprised by the news, Zhao Tuo also thought that the reason why Wang Ben said these words was probably because he knew what happened between him and Li You, so he revealed the news in advance.
"Thank you, Captain." Zhao Tuo saluted. Wang Ben waved his hand, said nothing more, and he and the two of them quickly walked out of the hall.
Carols were flying in the hall. After the music stopped, the guests were guided into the hall and stood in line according to their order.
After a while, Qin Wangzheng walked into the palace with majestic steps. He sat on the God's couch, his face was slightly red, which showed that his mood fluctuated.
"Meet the king!"
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!" Zhao Tuo followed the ministers and bowed to each other. Immediately afterwards, Qin Wangzheng showed his consistent style and went straight to the topic.
"I am in the same house, and I rule the world. I should change my name before I can say it is a success and pass it on to future generations. In the past, I asked the ministers to discuss the title of the emperor. Today, I can report it." Qin Wangzheng suppressed his mood and spoke in a deep voice. He looked at the people in the palace.
Sir, there is light shining in your eyes.
Regarding the matter of the emperor's title, as a monarch with a strong and domineering personality, Qin Wangzheng didn't have his own thoughts in his heart, and he even had an answer long ago.
The reason why he asked the ministers to discuss the emperor's title with great fanfare was that he wanted to handle this matter as the most important matter of the Qin State, so that all the officials of the Qin State would be busy and thinking about this matter, and the entire Qin State would
Everyone is looking forward to his imperial title.
Only in this way can it appear solemn. Secondly, he is looking forward to whether there is anyone who is close to his thoughts among his ministers.
Can anyone understand his thoughts? At this time, after the king finished speaking, the right prime minister Wei Xiang coughed twice, and then he, the left prime minister Wang Wan, the imperial censor Feng Jie, and the court lieutenant Li Si shared the honorary title.
"Your Majesty has now mobilized righteous troops, killed the remnants of thieves, and pacified the world. He has done a great job. It has never been done since ancient times, and it is even beyond the reach of the ancient emperors."
"I would like to discuss this with the doctor: In ancient times, there were emperors of heaven, emperors of earth, and emperors of Thailand, and the emperor of Thailand was the most noble."
"Therefore, when I die, I will give you the title of "Emperor Tai". The order is "Zhi", the order is "Edict", and the emperor calls himself "I". "Emperor Tai!
As soon as these words came out, those ministers in the palace who still harbored the imperial title and wanted to please the king were all shocked.
Zhi Su Neishi Wang Wu opened his eyes wide, stared at Wei Zhuang and others, and said what he was thinking
The name "White Emperor" was swallowed up silently. What a group of old guys, I and the officials in the mansion have been thinking about it for so long.
The word "Emperor" was swirling around. I didn't expect these people to have already talked about it.
"Emperor" went up, and in addition to the emperor's title, they also found out everything about the emperor's self-titles. How can anyone compare with such a complete set of names?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The other ministers also frowned, feeling that the name they were thinking about was different from this one.
Compared with "Taihuang", he looked much weaker. Zhao Tuo raised his eyebrows and secretly said that it was indeed the case.
Those doctors are most familiar with the classics and know that there were three emperors before the ancient emperors, who were all legendary gods and sages.
According to popular belief, the older something is, the more noble it is, so the emperor is higher than the emperor, and the emperor is higher than the king.
now they skip
"Emperor", choose directly
The "Emperor" number is superior in style.
"Emperor" is the best. No wonder the prime minister and the imperial censor agreed with each other on this title.
However, on the emperor's couch, Qin Wangzheng just nodded slightly, but had no intention of making an immediate decision. Emperor Tai.
It sounds good. But to Qin Wangzheng,
The word "emperor" is too ancient, and the person it refers to is a legendary figure such as Fuxi and Nuwa, so it does not seem a bit illusory.
Qin is a pragmatic country, and Qin Wangzheng is a person who values practical benefits. Compared with
The word "emperor".
"Emperor", a title with strong political overtones in this era, is more in line with his wishes, so the edicts issued are straightforward.
The three words "Yidi Hao". Of course, these are secondary. What really made him think about this
The important reason why the "Emperor Tai" was dissatisfied was that this title had existed since ancient times. King Qin's government brought peace to the world, and his great achievements had never been matched by anyone since ancient times.
Such a great achievement requires a unique title. He, King Qin, is the only king in the world.
His imperial title should be the only one in the world. His imperial title will be compared to those of the ancients and those who come after him!
Therefore, King Qin Zhenglue nodded and moved his eyes from the faces of the two prime ministers who were full of expectations. He looked at the ministers in the palace and said, "Do you have any other opinions?" As soon as these words came out, all the ministers suddenly showed joy.
The king did not approve it on the spot
The title of "Tai Huang" proves that they still have a chance. After the prime minister and the imperial censor, they naturally respect the state captain.
I saw Wang Ben speak: "I believe that our Qin Dynasty conquers the world with a strong army, so we can use the title of 'Wu' and call it 'Emperor Wu' to fully display the power of our Qin army." After Wang Ben, other ministers also opened their mouths to offer tributes.
A name that I and my subordinates came up with.
White Emperor, Qing Emperor, Black Emperor... Some people even had an idea on the spot, thinking that the reason why Qin Wangzheng was dissatisfied with what the Prime Minister said
"Emperor of Thailand" is because he took a fancy to it
"Emperor", I quickly changed the imperial title I originally thought of, Your Majesty
"Emperor" title. Qin Wangzheng frowned slightly, glanced at the man, and saw that it was Shaofu, one of the nine ministers. Looking at his expression, he already knew what the other person was thinking, and he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.
He doesn't like such slippery people.
"After I became the emperor, all the ministers in the dynasty should also change, and the post of young governor should be replaced by talented people." After hearing the emperor's title presented by the ministers, Qin Wangzheng looked blank.
These imperial titles were either old-fashioned or vulgar, which was really dissatisfying. His eyes finally fell on the young man in the palace who had been standing there with a smile, quietly watching the ministers present their titles.
"My eldest concubine, all the ministers have spoken. I wonder if you would like to propose an emperor's title for me." The ministers in the palace quickly turned their heads and looked at Zhao Tuo.
There were a few other chief concubines in the main hall, but everyone knew who Qin Wangzheng was calling.
"This son has always been favored by the king. I wonder what kind of imperial title he can give?" Hearing the king's call, he felt the gazes of the ministers on him.
Zhao Tuo knew that he had no choice but to keep speaking. There were many civil and military ministers in the dynasty, but he was the only one who knew the king's thoughts. It was really troublesome.
Zhao Tuo said loudly: "I heard that the three emperors in ancient times were no more than the leaders of ancient tribes, and their area was no more than a hundred miles away. The five emperors' area was no more than a thousand miles away. Their foreign princes submitted to the barbarians and the princes, whether they were in court or not, they could not control them. Now the great king is promoting justice.
Soldiers, slaying the remnants of thieves, pacifying the world, forming prefectures and counties within the sea, and unifying laws and regulations, this has never happened since ancient times, and this is beyond the reach of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
"I believe that the great king's virtues are combined with those of the three emperors, and his achievements are greater than those of the five emperors. A single emperor or the title of emperor cannot match the achievements of the great king. Only the combination of the three emperors and the five emperors can catch up to the achievements of the great king." Qin Wangzheng heard this,
Already my heart is surging.
That's it! The Three Emperors and the Five Emperors are all deceased figures, so how can we allow a few people to use the names they once used?
How can the three emperors and five emperors be compared with the mediocrity? As this person said, only the three emperors and the five emperors combined can be compared with the mediocrity!
Qin Wangzheng stared at Zhao Tuo with bright eyes to see if he could tell him that name. When Zhao Tuo arrived here, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I think the title of the king can be...
Emperor! "Emperor!"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the palace, and all the ministers looked at the young concubine with strange eyes.
"This boy's flattery skills are so terrifying!" Tingwei Li Si's eyelids twitched. He thought that the doctors in the doctor's palace were very strong in flattery skills, so he jumped out
The word "emperor" is used in ancient times
"Emperor", what he said
The dignity of the "Emperor of Thailand" allows people to speak, so he, Li Si, would agree with the prime minister and the imperial censor.
Who would have thought that at such a young age, Zhao Tuo would be so bold as to use the three emperors and five emperors to add up and propose
The title "Emperor". Emperor. Just hearing this title makes me feel powerful, which is better than what everyone said.
On the emperor's couch, Qin Wangzheng raised his brows lightly and smiled faintly. He was indeed right. Only the youngest Zhao Tuo in the entire palace was closest to his heart.
He proposed a title that was higher than the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and was unique. However, this
The title "Emperor" was slightly different from what he had in mind. This made Qin Wangzheng feel gratified and relieved at the same time.
He hopes that someone can understand his thoughts, but he also doesn't want anyone to be able to see through his own thoughts. If Zhao Tuo really said the name that Qin Wangzheng came up with in public, it would make Qin Wangzheng feel a little afraid.
.
You can try to figure out the emperor's heart, but if you really understand it, you're not far from death.

The matter of "killing his master and taking his place" is something that the Qin government will never tolerate. Therefore, this discussion of the emperor's title is also a test.
This is the art of kings and ministers. The situation like Zhao Tuo who is the closest but unable to figure it out is the one that makes him feel most comfortable.
At this time, Zhao Tuo saw Qin Wangzheng's face relaxed on the emperor's bed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He knew the answer, but he couldn't say it.
That title had to be proposed by Qin Wangzheng himself. It was fine that he took the opportunity to flatter him, but how could he dare to say that answer first?
Sure enough, Qin Wangzheng smiled and issued an edict.
"I asked the ministers to discuss the emperor's title, but the emperor's title presented by Tuo, the great commoner, won the hearts of me the most. However, the word 'emperor' is quite illusory, so I used it as a decoration to imitate the ancient 'emperor' position.
The name was 'Emperor'. He said as he agreed. "Emperor!"
Zhao Tuo raised his head and looked at the king on the imperial couch. As expected, the king already had the answer in his mind.
He wanted to be emperor! The first emperor in history. After Qin Wangzheng's words fell, he did not give up.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to abolish a certain system that he had always disliked. At this moment, the tall body stood up from the imperial couch.
He spoke to the ministers in the palace with a domineering and majestic voice.
"I have heard that in ancient times there was a posthumous title for the mother, and in the middle ages there was a posthumous title for the mother who died. In this way, the son will discuss the father, and the ministers will discuss the king. What's more, I can't take it."
"From now on, except for posthumous titles, I am the First Emperor."
"After generations are counted, the second and third generations are counted for all generations, and the legend is so poor!"
