Comprehensive wear purple

In the 25th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang (due to the intervention of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the unification was brought forward. Historically, the unification was in the 29th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang, i.e. 221 BC), Zhao Zheng, who had completed the unification, faced the beautiful mountains and rivers after the unification and thought that the title of "king" could no longer reflect his majesty and unprecedented achievements. So at the first grand court meeting after the unification, he ordered his ministers to draft a new title for himself.

Unable to resist Xiao Ximan's clinging, Zhao Zheng held Xiao Ximan in his arms and went to court. Zhao Zheng spread his arms, waved his sleeves, sat down slowly, and said to the ministers: "I, with my insignificant body, raised an army to punish the rebellion. Thanks to the spirits of the ancestral temple, the six kings all confessed their guilt and the world was at peace. If the name is not changed now, there will be no success. It will be passed on to future generations and a new title should be discussed."

Although Xiao Meiman knew what the result would be, she felt that such a famous scene was something that could only be seen a few times in a lifetime, so she looked towards the ministers excitedly, screaming in her heart like a groundhog, "How many time-traveling girls can be like me, eating melons openly in such an occasion? Even among the time-traveling girls, I must be the most prestigious!" After thinking about it, she couldn't help but smile and clapped her hands.

Zhao Zheng felt a little regretful when he saw his daughter being naughty again. If he had known earlier, he would not have agreed to the child's request. Alas, this child...

Prime Minister Wang Wan, Imperial Censor Feng Jie, Court Justice Li Si and other ministers agreed that the great unification achievements established by the current King of Qin were unprecedented and could not be compared with the five ancient emperors. In ancient times, there were titles such as "Heavenly Emperor" and "Earthly Emperor", among which "Tai Huang" was the most honorable. So they collectively wrote to the King of Qin: "Your Majesty has raised an army of righteousness, punished the cruel bandits, and pacified the world. The country has been divided into counties and the laws have been unified. This has never happened since ancient times and is beyond the reach of the five emperors. The Tai Huang is the most honorable and should be honored as the "Tai Huang".

However, the complacent King Zheng of Qin was not particularly satisfied with the title discussed by his ministers. He thought that his virtues were equal to those of the Three Sovereigns and his achievements were greater than those of the Five Emperors. So he modified it himself, removing "Tai" and keeping "Huang", and adding the ancient title "Di". He created the title of "Emperor" for the first time, and from then on he was called "Emperor". He also issued an order to be called "Zhi" and an order to be called "Zhao". He called himself "Zhen" and no one else was allowed to use it. The subjects should respectfully address the emperor as "Your Majesty". The emperor's seal was to be called "Xi" in the future. Since it was generally made of jade, the emperor's seal was called "Yuxi" in the future.

After posthumously honoring King Zhuangxiang as the Empress Dowager, Zhao Zheng thought for a while and said, "It is unfilial for a son to criticize his father, and it is disrespectful for a minister to criticize his monarch. The previous posthumous title system is disrespectful to the emperor's majesty. Let's abolish it in the future. From now on, I will be the First Emperor, and future generations will count by the second, third, and even tenth generations. My Great Qin will be passed down forever."

At this time, Li Si remembered what the people of Qi had reported after the First Emperor unified the world: "During the time of Emperor Wei and Emperor Xuan of Qi, Zou Yan discussed the destiny of the five virtues from beginning to end." He immediately wrote a letter to the First Emperor.

The First Emperor Zhao Zheng adopted his theory, believing that Zhou had the virtue of fire, and Qin replaced Zhou and was invincible, which was the virtue of water. He began to change the year, and the court celebrations all started on the first day of the tenth month; clothes, flags, and banners were all black, and the number six was used as a mark.

Zhao Zheng: "My dear ministers, do you have anything else to report?"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Wang Wan and others said, "Yan, Qi, and Jing are far away. If we don't appoint a king for them, we will have no way to control them. Please establish your sons as kings." The First Emperor put forward this proposal, and the ministers began a heated discussion.

Li Si, the court judge, said: "Many of the sons and nephews of Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu of Zhou had the same surname, but they were distant from each other and attacked each other like enemies, and the emperor of Zhou could not stop them. Now the whole country is unified by your divine power, and all are counties and prefectures. The sons and meritorious officials are rewarded with public taxes, which is easy to control. If there is no dissent in the world, it is a way to keep peace. It is inconvenient to set up princes."

Before the First Emperor could say anything, little Meiman immediately tugged at Zhao Zheng's sleeve. Zhao Zheng understood and nodded imperceptibly, saying, "The whole world has suffered from endless wars because of the existence of princes and kings. Thanks to the ancestral temple, the world was initially settled, and now the country has been re-established, which means building up troops. Isn't it difficult to ask for peace? What the court judge said is very right." He immediately issued an order: divide the world into 36 counties, and appoint governors, lieutenants, and supervisors in each county.

Since the Zhou system is not feasible, we have to make a new one. Looking at Xiao Meiman, I suddenly thought of her uncle Han Fei. He valued Prince Fei very much at the beginning, and his idea of ​​"establishing a monarchy and centralized power system" was very much in line with his wishes, but it was a pity that he could not use it. Alas.

In order to strengthen the authority and control of the central government, he established the system of three dukes and nine ministers in the central government, strengthened the appointment and removal and management of officials. Together with the local county system, it formed a relatively complete administrative system that was used for more than 2,000 years. Let's not talk about this for now.

Thinking of the elderly Wang Wan, Li Si felt that he could still give it a try, so he said: "The world has been settled, the laws have been issued, and the people in charge will work hard in the fields and in the industry."

Qin Shi Huang thought this was reasonable, so he adopted Li Si's suggestion and implemented the policy of "promoting agriculture and eliminating labor." After discussing with court officials, he ordered farmers to be moved to areas where agricultural labor was insufficient, and rewarded them by exempting them from corvée labor at regular intervals.

When Zhao Zheng thought of the world his daughter had described, his first reaction was "My Great Qin is too small, how can this be possible?" Then he thought domineeringly: "Who in the world is worthy of competing with me? All these things, whether owned or unowned, should be mine." He then ordered Tu Sui and Zhao Tuo to speed up the repair of the Lingqu Canal. When the Lingqu Canal was completed, Tu Sui would lead an army of 50 to conquer the various tribes of Baiyue in the south. For this reason, the serving people could be given titles and lands appropriately on the basis of being well fed, and those who made great contributions could be given titles and lands appropriately.

Thinking of the huge losses suffered by the Qin army in its southern expedition to the Baiyue, little Yiman immediately said to her father: "Father, we don't know exactly what the land of Baiyue is like. Shouldn't we send someone to investigate first, and then find some people from Chu who are more familiar with the terrain to lead the way, to ensure that nothing goes wrong?"

Zhao Zheng nodded and said to Tu Sui: "Just do as the princess said" (private statement: after unifying the six kingdoms, the princess was renamed princess).

"Father, you have unified the six kingdoms. Do I have to learn the languages ​​of the original six kingdoms and exchange them for other currencies in case of emergency?" The First Emperor was stunned. He hurriedly ordered Feng Quji, Li Si and others to unify the weights and measures, and also ordered Li Si to start working on unifying the writing system.

Zhao Zheng thought of Xiao Taoqi's reminder today and reflected for a long time. He stood outside the Xianyang Palace and looked up at the sky. "Since I completed the great cause of unification, I have become much more restless and self-willed. I almost forgot the ending of the Qin Dynasty. It is obvious that the new dynasty has just been established and all aspects need to be changed. However, because of my pride and arrogance, I did not ask my daughter about the measures for governing the country in future dynasties. I was wrong."

In a side hall of the Xianyang Palace, Princess Zichen, Xiao Meiman, was sitting in the hall, waiting for her father. She knew that the heroic and mighty Qin Shi Huang would definitely come to see her today.

She was also planning to use "first courtesy and then force" on her father. After all, in addition to potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes, which were the must-have surprises for a time-traveling girl, there were also cowpox, glass manufacturing methods, cement, and papermaking, printing, gunpowder, compass, curved plow, and fertilization methods that the Qin Dynasty did not have. Even if my father was angry, I could make his expression twist immediately and he would not be angry at all.

As she thought about it, little Meiman smiled proudly. Her father was no longer the paper man she imagined in her imagination from the fragments of words in history books, but a good father with flesh and blood who could get angry and laugh.

Xiao Meiman firmly believed that from the moment she was reborn into the Qin Dynasty, the situation had changed and the Qin Dynasty would never fall in the second generation. She firmly believed that with the joint efforts of her and her father, there would no longer be the Five Barbarians invading China, foreign races ruling the Central Plains, and there would no longer be the shame of the great powers viewing China as a pasture, and the joke of measuring China's material resources to please the country.

Just as Xiao Meiman's thoughts were drifting away, Zhao Zheng came towards her domineeringly in the afterglow of the setting sun.
