A night of fun was like a dream. When the morning came, Zhao Tuo realized that what the world said about women's various postures was not false.
According to the procedure after the wedding, in the early morning of the next day, the bride has to take a bath and then go to visit her uncle and aunt, and there is a certain etiquette between them.
However, Ying Yinman was a princess, which was very different, and she had no uncle or aunt to get along with. But she still went to take a bath with the help of her maid early in the morning before settling down.
Zhao Tuo was left alone on the couch to reminisce. After being exhausted, he fell asleep without knowing it. After an unknown period of time, Zhao Tuo suddenly felt an earache in MiMi Lake.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Ying Yinman standing in front of the couch, with an angry look on her pretty face, staring at him with wide eyes, and a small white hand had just withdrawn from his ear.
"I heard that people in the army have to get up before dawn to make food. Why don't you get up? I didn't expect that the great concubine would be so lazy!" Ying Yinman had already washed his hair and body according to the etiquette, and tied his hair with silk.
Add hairpins and buns to make your body exude fragrance.
Compared to the shy girl yesterday, she looks more like a bride now.
"It's not because of you, one night." Zhao Tuo chuckled. Then he saw Ying Yinman in front of him immediately turned into a red face. She lowered her head, twisted her hands together, and whispered: "It's obviously you.
, Stinky Zhao Tuo." Zhao Tuo glared and said, "What's your name?"
"My beloved..." The bride lowered her head, her voice becoming more and more shy as she thought about last night's scene. Hearing this address, Zhao Tuo had a bright smile on his face.
…
"I'm giving you a reward that I can't do. Princess, I've issued an order of no government and offended all the three armies. Princess, if I send one person to do something wrong, don't sue him. Princess, if I do it, it's for profit. Don't sue me for harm." Li You looked at him.
He stared blankly at the art of war on the eucalyptus and murmured.
The lights in the house were flickering, and the sun was rising outside the window. There were footsteps approaching outside the door.
"You'er." Li Si opened the door and walked in. Hearing his father's voice, Li You, who was sitting in front of the eucalyptus, didn't even raise his head. He just stared at the slips in front of him.
Li Si sighed. As someone who had been there, he still didn't know what was going on with his son.
"You'er." Li Si consoled him: "It's time for you to start a family. There is still a daughter in Wang Ben's family who is waiting to be married. If you are willing, I can find someone to marry you. If you don't want to marry the Wang family's daughter, there is still a daughter.
The Xin family, the Feng family, the Yang family, etc. all have girls of the right age..."
"Father!" Li You suddenly raised his head, stared at Li Si in front of him, and whispered: "Don't talk about this anymore. If I, Li You, don't become famous, I will never marry in this life!" Li Si saw that his son's eyes were red and his face was greasy.
, surprisingly yes.
Hearing the decisive words from Li You's mouth again, Li Si frowned and comforted him again: "You are now the high lord of Zuo Shu, and you once served as a county lieutenant in Nanjun. You commanded a large army to conquer the southern barbarians and made outstanding military achievements.
Your reputation is far and wide, and even today you are full of praise for you. How can you talk about being famous without success?" Li You said secretly: "Compared with that person, I am nothing." Hearing this, Li Si still didn't understand.
Who is Li You comparing with?
He said angrily: "Shuzi, you have to worry about just a woman. There are so many women in the world, why do you have to put your mind on this? Have you forgotten the word "pattern"? If you really want to Shang
Princess, in two years’ time, I will ask the emperor to beg the princess for you.”
"Father, you don't understand." Li You murmured to himself. He once thought he had seen through it. When his younger brother Li Yu angrily spoke to Princess Zhao Tuo in front of him, Li You could keep his face calm and not angry.
Not angry, even angry
"Pattern" came to teach his brother a lesson. But when the day came, Li You still found that he could not forget it.
After waiting for several years, the beautiful woman became someone else's wife. How could Li You forget this? Looking at his son's appearance.
Li Si sighed: "You are also in your thirties, and you have not yet started a family. If you continue to waste time like this, are you really going to make me, Li, have no children?" Li You shook his head and said: "My brother has been crowned, and it is the right time for marriage.
At that time, my father should be able to marry him a wife to continue the Li family's heirs. Moreover, my father will be strong in old age and can still take concubines and have children. How can I say that I, the Li family, have no heirs?"
"You!" Li Si's face turned red with anger. Li You lowered his head and looked at the military document on the eucalyptus, looked at the words on the slip, and muttered: "Throw yourself into death and then survive, fall into death and then live." Die.
,born.
Li You suddenly raised his head and roared: "Father, I want to perform meritorious service on the battlefield. I heard that the road from Shu to southwestern Yi is now planned. I should ask for your order to enter Shu!"
"I, Li You, will lead the Qin Dynasty to the southwestern barbarians!"... Although Princess Changshang is a major event, it cannot affect the operation of the empire, especially now that the world has been decided and the six kingdoms' homelands have not yet been digested.
There are so many things going on that the court meeting is held every two or three days.
Zhao Tuo only had a title but no actual duties. In other words, he had the right to participate in political affairs in the court, but he did not have to deal with actual affairs.
If you ask the emperor, he can take his newlywed wife out for a pleasant honeymoon trip.
But Zhao Tuo did not dare. At this important juncture of the establishment of the empire, one major event followed another, and Zhao Tuo had to keep an eye on the emperor on the imperial couch at all times.
When he was in Xianyang, he could still keep an eye on things he felt were inappropriate during court meetings, and he could remonstrate with the emperor on the spot or in private.
If Zhao Tuo goes out, it will be troublesome if the emperor slaps him on the forehead and starts some big projects.
Therefore, on the fifth day after his marriage, Zhao Tuo got up from his warm bed early in the morning, bid farewell to his bride, got up, changed his clothes, washed himself, and went to court.
"I heard some time ago that the emperor has plans to connect with the southwestern barbarians. I wonder if it will be announced at today's court meeting? I have to find an opportunity to ask. In addition to the emperor's plan to connect with the southwestern barbarians, based on the emperor's character in history, next
I wonder what other big projects will be done?" Sitting on the carriage heading to the Qin Palace, Zhao Tuo secretly guessed in his mind, recalling some of the major events that Qin Shihuang had done in history.
Chidao, now that he has a clue based on his suggestion, it should not be long before the official start of construction.
The Great Wall should be in conjunction with the attack on the Xiongnu. According to the timeline, it is still early. As for Baiyue, it is even earlier.
It seems that Epang Palace has not been renovated in history, so it should be ignored for the time being.
"Next, we should unify writing, currency, and weights and measures. After all, books and texts are often connected to cars and cars. Now that cars and cars are on the same track, it is almost settled and will be promoted nationwide. Several other major events should not be far away.
"Zhao Tuo grunted.
As he said, the matter of cars traveling on the same track was decided when the five virtues were introduced. Among the five virtues, the virtue of water is still black, and its corresponding number is six.
Therefore, after the establishment of the empire, the count of the world must be calculated by six. The length of the talisman and the height of the crown are all six inches, the length of one step is six feet, and the horse the emperor rides is also six horses, so the distance between the tracks of the Qin State's chariots
It was also set at six feet.
"No wonder Qin Shihuang wanted to create twelve golden men in history and divided the world into thirty-six counties. Everything was a multiple of six."
"My father-in-law loves Liu!" Zhao Tuo cursed in his heart as he walked into the Qin Palace and greeted the ministers he met along the way.
"I've seen the great concubine."
"The great concubine is really becoming more and more heroic." After the doctor was banned from speaking, no one in the court dared to deny Zhao Tuo face, and they all smiled and complimented him endlessly.
Zhao Tuo returned the favor with a smile, and until the beginning of today's court meeting, Qin Shihuang was still wearing the imperial uniform of Qin Xuan, with a resolute face, and every move he made had the majesty of an emperor.
After sitting on the God's bed, he scanned the officials in the palace with his majestic eyes. When he saw Zhao Tuo, he hesitated slightly, but soon fell on the others.
The court meeting officially began. What happened next was somewhat beyond Zhao Tuo's expectation. During this period, the matter that was circulated in Xianyang that the emperor wanted to communicate with the southwestern barbarians was not mentioned immediately.
Instead, Qin Shihuang was the first to announce the changes to the official system in the court. First of all, there were changes in the Bangwei Mansion, which had always been responsible for Qin's affairs.
It seems that due to the sharp decline in military activities after unification, the emperor reduced and changed some functions of the Bangwei Mansion to better consolidate military power in his hands.
"From now on, the official title of State Lieutenant is Taiwei." Following the emperor's edict, Zhao Tuo's eyelids jumped. Taiwei, this extremely famous official title in later generations, finally appeared on the stage of history. It turned out that it was the State of Qin.
Wei changed it.
In addition to the major changes to the imperial palace, Qin Shihuang also transferred the ministers in the court, which was considered a major change of blood.
For example, the Shaofu, one of the nine ministers, was announced by the government to be transferred out and appointed as the governor of Kuaiji County to become a high official.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After the edict was read out, the former young man immediately smiled from his face and saluted in compliance with the order.
Zhao Tuo glanced at the former young master with some pity. The county governor of the Qin Dynasty was a powerful figure controlled by the military and government. After being released, he became a real local emperor, and his life was even more comfortable than that of the ministers in the court.
But having said that, it also depends on where you want to be a county governor. If it is Sanchuan County or Yingchuan County, a prosperous place in the Central Plains, becoming a county governor would be a blessing.
But Kuaiji County. Zhao Tuo thought of the Wuyue land he had been to before, and couldn't help shaking his head secretly. The Wu land was slightly better, but the Yue land under the jurisdiction of Kuaiji County was particularly troublesome, and he had to fight with
Dealing with those Yue people is no ordinary headache.
"Why did this young man offend the emperor? Didn't he offer the emperor the title of emperor last time when he was discussing the emperor's title? Why was he demoted within a few months?" Just when Zhao Tuo was mourning for him.
The emperor on the imperial couch announced the new appointment edict.
"Zhao Tuo, the great general, has outstanding military achievements and is a noble honor of the country. He should be a public minister and specially appointed as the post of Shaofu." When the voice of the edict came to Zhao Tuo's ears.
Zhao Tuo suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor on the imperial couch. He saw that the emperor was also looking at him.
