The great dynasty meeting after Zhao Tuo's marriage was filled with important events one after another. Qin Shihuang not only reformed the official system, divided the world into prefectures and counties, appointed and removed guards and captains in various places, he even launched a new war.
The speed of his movements made Zhao Tuo a little dizzy. Fortunately, the content of this meeting was over, and Zhao Tuo breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that the emperor would take too big a step and carry out a lot of projects in a short period of time, wasting people and money, and eventually making people in the world resentful.
Zhao Tuo thought carefully that after the unification of the empire, there were quite a few projects started and planned. The first one was the major project of relocating the nobles from the six countries. According to the latest news, Tu Sui had taken all the Tian family members in Qidi into custody and began to escort them.
Come to Guanzhong.
Along the way, Dongjun, Sanchuan, Yingchuan and other counties are also gathering the Wei and Han clans. When the Tu Sui army arrives, they will be escorted to Guanzhong. It is estimated that it will be done in about two or three months.
There are a large number of these people. How to settle them after arriving in Guanzhong is also a lot of work. Moreover, this is only the first phase of the project. The Qin State will also attack the clans of Zhao, Chu and Yan in the future, which can be said to be a huge amount of work.
However, this matter is very important for stabilizing the hometown of the princes and helping to eliminate the hidden danger of Qin's fall, so it must be done.
The second project is the planned Chidao. According to the plans of many officials of the Qin State, there are currently six Chidao to be built in the early stage, which is in line with the Six Behaviors of the Qin State.
The Chidao project was originally started this year in history. Now it was proposed by Zhao Tuo, with slight changes.
According to his plan, the completion of Chidao will be a major project that will benefit the people. It will not only benefit the world and Guizhou, but will also facilitate the subsequent migration of nobles from the six countries and complement the migration plan.
If these two projects are major projects that are beneficial to the stability of the country and the people, the connection from Shu County to the southwestern Yi announced today can also be regarded as a national event, which Zhao Tuo supports.
The remaining construction of the Six Kingdoms Palace and the Lishan Mausoleum made him a little unhappy.
"The palaces of the Six Kingdoms are still short of the completion of the Qi Palace. This matter cannot be persuaded. A patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder will never allow his palace to be missing six and one."
"The Lishan Mausoleum is about to be rebuilt. The emperor looked down upon the royal mausoleum that had been built for twenty-six years. Now he has ordered the imperial mausoleum to be rebuilt on a much larger scale. I heard that cinnabar is also transported from Bashu to refine mercury and fill it with mercury.
Enter the underground palace."
"Well, in ancient times, people dealt with death as well as life. It was taboo for the emperor to build a mausoleum. If you dare to open your mouth, you are courting death."
"There are too many projects now. I have to divert the emperor's attention and find something for him to do. Otherwise, my father-in-law will think about random projects as soon as he is free. I have to think about it and get it for him.
Let's do something that doesn't consume people's energy." After the court meeting, Zhao Tuo was racking his brains and preparing to find something for the emperor to do.
However, the emperor first sent someone to summon him to see him alone. On the way to the side hall of the palace, Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC, led the way and chatted with Zhao Tuo.
"My brother now not only has the title of Grand Concubine and High Lord, but he is also in charge of the Young Mansion with the largest number of subordinates among all the ministers. It is really enviable." The twenty-one-year-old Grand Concubine has become the emperor's princess, and now he has become the Jiuqing.
One is the young man in charge of the emperor's money and many responsibilities.
This kind of life made Zhao Gao so envious that he felt sour in his mouth. Zhao Tuo smiled slightly and said, "Brother is joking. I know your abilities well. If you serve as an official, you will definitely be able to make great contributions and be promoted to an official."
, it is also possible to become Jiuqing in the future. If your brother is willing, I will ask you later to allow your brother to join my young man's house and serve as a young man's prime minister to help me." After hearing this, Zhao Gao stepped forward.
pause.
There are six prime ministers under the Shaofu. They are the deputy positions of the Shaofu. They have a rank of Qianshi. They have many people under their command and have great power. It is a very important position.
Zhao Gao's own Zhongche Mansion Order only had 600 stones, which belonged to the Taipu and came under the jurisdiction of Taipu Cheng.
If he is really transferred from Zhongche Mansion to Shaofu Cheng, it will really be a high promotion. In addition to the promotion of rank and salary, he will also have greater power.
As far as Zhao Gao knows, the six prime ministers under the Shaofu are all positions with real power. The Tongcheng of the Shaofu is in charge of taxation, minting of coins and other matters.
The chief prison officer of the Shaofu was in charge of thousands of prisoners who were imprisoned. As for the others, they were also in charge of the royal garden, treasures, medicine and food in the palace and other matters.
No matter which one of the six Shaofu Chengs he is, he has much more power than the Zhongche Fu Ling who can only control the chariots in the palace.
Therefore, Zhao Gao really felt moved. He stared at Zhao Tuo who looked at him sincerely and felt grateful.
Zhao Tuo, what a good brother! He is really prosperous, and he did not forget to mention himself as his brother. It is also true that he has done a lot of things for Zhao Tuo before.
Zhao Gao knew very well that with Zhao Tuo's current status and the favor he received from the emperor, if he asked the emperor for help, he would have a very good chance of getting Zhao Gao transferred.
Do you agree or not? Zhao Gao took a deep breath, and there was a battle between heaven and man in his mind. But soon, his reason defeated the passion surging in his heart.
He came from a humble background and experienced being sentenced to death by Meng Yi, so he was very thirsty for power.
It is naturally good to be the Shaofu Cheng, with a rank of thousands of stones, and in the central court, he is a first-class official under the Nine Ministers.
But it wasn't attractive enough for him.
"In the Qin State, the emperor is everything. Even though I was implicated and sentenced to death by Meng Yi, I was pardoned by the emperor, which is enough to show the benefits of winning the emperor's heart. The reason why the emperor pardoned me was precisely because I followed him all day long.
The goodwill accumulated by driving chariots and carriages around him, answering legal questions, and ghostwriting edicts for him."
"Although the position of CRRC does not have much power, it is at the emperor's side and he is a true close minister. Once I go out and become the Shaofu Cheng, I will leave the emperor and have no chance to get close to him in the future."
"It may seem like you are getting promoted, but in fact you have lost your true path to heaven!" Zhao Gao finished thinking in his mind and had already made a decision.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He handed over to Zhao Tuo and said: "My good brother, I accept it for my brother's heart. It's just that Zhao Gao is a humble person, but now he has been promoted and rebuilt with kindness, and he is filled with gratitude."
Zhao Gao has nothing else to seek in this life. He only wants to drive horses for the emperor and be a coachman, and he is completely satisfied." Zhao Gao's voice was very sincere, and there was even a drop of emotional tears squeezed out of his eyes. He looked like a loyal servant.
He very much hoped that Zhao Tuo could relay what he was saying to the emperor from behind, which would surely move the emperor's heart.
However, the emperor was not moved yet, but Zhao Tuo was struck by Zhao Gao's words.
"Touched", he sighed: "Brother is loyal, but I am presumptuous."
"What did you say, dear brother? The fact that you thought of me at this time warms my heart and I am very grateful." Zhao Gao chuckled.
Zhao Tuo also smiled. What a pity. He smiled on his face, but sighed secretly in his heart. Zhao Gao is really not easy to win.
What just happened was a tentative attack he launched against Zhao Gao. This is what Sun Tzu Wu said
"Profit and inducement". As long as Zhao Gao was lured by the post of Shaofu Cheng and left the emperor's side, an important reason for Qin's demise in history would be directly eliminated by Zhao Tuo.
It's a pity that I don't know whether Zhao Gao is really loyal to the emperor now, or whether he feels that this position is not enough, so he did not agree to Zhao Tuo after all.
However, Zhao Tuo's mentality was very stable and he was not discouraged. In fact, he could also bypass Zhao Gao and directly request the emperor to transfer this person out.
But in that case, there is a great risk of failure. After all, the emperor trusted Zhao Gao very much and asked him to ride a horse and write edicts. He was already used to it, so he might not give it to Zhao Tuo.
If it fails, it is very likely that it will scare the snake away, which is not good. Instead, Zhao Tuo first tempted Zhao Gao with the position of Shaofu Cheng. If Zhao Gao is interested, the chance of success will increase.
Even if Zhao Gao disagrees, or Zhao Gao agrees, but the emperor refuses in the end, it doesn't matter. It will only make Zhao Gao feel that Zhao Tuo only wants to take his brother to take off, and he will only feel grateful in his heart.
"Anyway, I'm not at a loss." Zhao Tuo thought like this and followed Zhao Gao into a side hall. At this moment, Qin Shihuang had just sat down and had not had time to start working.
However, the eucalyptus in front of him was already piled with bamboo slips, which looked like a hill of bamboo slips. That should be the emperor's next task.
Given Qin Shihuang's character, he would not rest until he finished reviewing the slips.
"The emperor has to review more than a hundred kilograms of slips a day. Whether it is transporting or reviewing, it is very tiring. Historically, people died before the age of fifty. Maybe there is a reason for this." Zhao Tuo stared.
Looking at those slips, I sighed secretly in my heart, and at the same time my desire to change this situation became stronger and stronger.
But after Zhao Tuo saluted and stood up, before he could speak, the emperor went straight to the point and talked about the purpose of summoning Zhao Tuo.
"When the world was first settled, in order to prevent the nobles of the six countries and the heads of Guizhou from all directions from causing rebellion, I ordered the guards from all over the country to gather the soldiers of the world and gathered them in Xianyang, hoping to sell them and use them to cast other things."
"Now that all the weapons in the world have been gathered, the young master should be responsible for the rest."
"I have appointed you as the young master today. I would like to know what you think about this matter?" After the words fell, Zhao Tuo's eyelids twitched slightly.
Unexpectedly, less than a day after taking office as a young man, I would be caught up in such a big event. Emperor, this is going to be a miracle!
