Chapter 27

The next day, morning court.

Everyone knows that Zhao Gao will attack Li Xin in the court because of Zhao Cheng's death.

But what the civil and military officials in the court did not expect was that before the morning dynasty began, a decree was first transmitted from the palace.

The general idea is this: I selected the order of the Che Mansion, but unexpectedly, Zhao Cheng died unexpectedly in the battle. Because he became Gao's brother and Gao became the imperial teacher, I felt deeply sad. Cheng's death was all caused by his desire to follow me. If there was no such thing, Cheng would not die. I have recently read Confucian books, and the teacher was his father. Cheng's death was sad, and I was uneasy. In order to make up for the sadness of the imperial teacher, I wanted to divide a fief and give it to Zhao Gao. If this is the case, the ministers should discuss it and pay attention to it. I respect this.

The ministers of Zhao Gao were relieved after this decree. It seemed that the emperor still had feelings for Zhao Gao, because of Zhao Cheng's death, he would actually give him a fiefdom to Zhao Gao.

What does fiefdom mean? It means to be a king. The old man who made the suggestion in Zhao Gao yesterday was secretly happy that the second emperor's move was exactly what they planned.

"Long live the emperor, I have something to say." The old minister was afraid that others would steal the limelight in front of Zhao Gao, so he stepped forward and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Hu Hai stared at the old man and said, "But it's okay."

The old minister knelt down, straightened his waist and said, "I believe that since the fiefdom is drawn, he should be granted a king. Since ancient times, there are few people who have fiefdoms but no titles on the king, and it is also incompatible with etiquette."

Hu Hai secretly scolded the old minister as Zhao Gao's lackey, and was secretly happy. Being a king is just a reputation, and he can give it to Zhao Gao. Now this old minister tells it, but it coincides with his plan.

"My imperial teacher can afford a small king's prince." Hu Hai nodded, looking very excited.

Li Si had known Hu Hai's meaning, so he took a step forward and deliberately said: "From the Zhou Dynasty, he had enfeoffed kings of different surnames. It was a good thing to do at first, but later the power of various kingdoms gradually became stronger and surpassed the Zhou rituals. The Zhou royal family was not as good as the princes. This was a lesson from the past. I believe that Your Majesty should think twice before doing it."

As Zhao Gao's old rival, if Li Si doesn't come out to refute it, it would be too fake, and this drama will be a bit incorrect.

Sure enough, Li Si stood up to oppose it, and Zhao Gao's mind was much more calm. If Li Si also agreed, it would only mean that Emperor II and Li Si were already on the same line.

Now Li Si opposes it, which means that Emperor II and Li Si are not completely on the same front. As long as the ruler and his subjects are not in harmony, Zhao Gao will be sure to replace Qin II.

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, Qu Gong immediately stepped out and said, "What Lord Li said is a bad thing. The Zhou Dynasty's feudal divisions were all children of later generations, and each of them had the intention of usurping them. As the imperial teacher, Lord Zhao even supported the emperor in the past. How could he have usurped the etiquette and law because of the land and title of kings?"

After saying that, Qu Gong kowtowed deeply to Hu Hai and said, "I say something that should be beheaded. If Lord Zhao wants to override etiquette, it will be an opportunity in the sand dunes that year. Please give me a clear understanding."

When it comes to the plan of the sand dune back then, Li Si and Zhao Gao naturally knew it well. At that time, the two were still grasshoppers on the same boat, but now they have parted ways.

It’s only a year, but people are already wrong! In this world, the most elusive thing is people, and the most elusive thing is also people!

The saying between Li Si and Zhao Gao was truly fulfilled: There are no eternal allies, only eternal interests.

The ministers immediately started discussing the topics of Li Si and Qu Gong.

Hu Hai looked at the ministers who were holding Zhao Gao's stinking feet coldly, and sneered in his heart.

The next moment, he waved his palm and said loudly: "The matter of being the king..." As soon as he spoke, the ministers immediately became quiet.

"My intention has been decided. What you have to do now is to draw a fief for my imperial teacher and set a king's title."

Seeing that the second emperor was so decisive, everyone from Li Si's faction remained silent.

The people on Zhao Gao's side were excited.

"My minister Zhao Gao, please report to the emperor!" Zhao Gao, who was silently watching the development of the situation suddenly spoke.

Hu Hai nodded, and Zhao Gao continued, "Discussing the fief king's title, I should avoid this matter."

Hu Hai thought Zhao Gao was going to refuse but he didn't expect that what he said was to avoid, so he quietly raised his middle finger to Zhao Gao.

"Absolutely, Lord Zhao can go to the side hall to rest." Hu Hai nodded, and Zhao Gao stood up to salute and left the hall.

"The old minister believes that Lord Zhao's fiefdom can be in Jiaodong County or Langya County. This place is close to the sea and the wind is the pleasant climate, and it is the best place for retirement." An old man with an old and shriveled figure and fast-moving coffin pulp was played.

This old man is not the Zhao Gao faction or Li Si faction, he is a fence-bearer. Now that Qin Ershi has decided to be the king, he comes out to be a good old man.

"No, the sea breeze in Langya, Jiaodong is not the best. I believe that Guanzhong County has abundant resources and rich people, and as a fief, it is very good!" The Qugong was out of the list again.

Except for the ministers of Li Si's sect, everyone agreed loudly, and Qu Gong was even more proud. In their eyes, Hu Hai was no longer the emperor, Zhao Gao was their god.

Hu Hai stared at Qu Gong with a smile on his face, but his mind was filled with murderous thoughts.

This Qu Palace immediately marked out the Shuzhong, which has been a country of Tianfu since ancient times, and really wanted to become king.

There is a natural danger in Shu in Shu, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If it is really given to Zhao Gao, it will definitely be a big concern in the future. Hu Hai thought about it, but this king was just a farce. It would be better to agree to Zhao Gao's faction and see what else they have to do?

Thinking of this, Hu Hai nodded and said, "I am very satisfied with what Qugong said. The wealth and wealth in Shu are abundant, which is a good place for Lord Zhao Gao to support his elderly care. The fief has been settled, and the next is a title. You can show me which king is best to be named?"

Everyone immediately started to discuss again, but half of Li Si's ministers were bored and no one participated.

The old coffin stolen by Qugong had previously stepped forward again and said, "Since the fief is Guanzhong County, I think it would be better to have Lord Zhao become the King of Guanzhong."

Immediately, a few fence-headed grass responded.

"I think..." Another different voice was made by Qugong: "It is better to be a king with a surname than to be a king with a surname, which is also convenient for future generations to worship. I think King Zhao is better!"

This Qugong is a good dog from Zhao Gao! Hu Hai cursed in his heart and showed no expression on his face. This time he did not agree with Qugong, but shook his head and said, "I am not satisfied with the title you said."

He stood up from the dragon throne, seemed a little excited, and said, "I, I have appointed Zhao Gao as king, so that everyone in the world knows that Zhao Gao is the imperial teacher, and can be on an equal footing with me, and even, I have to respect people. What is the "King of Guanzhong" and "King of Zhao" are too ordinary and cannot express my respect for Lord Zhao. I have a title, so you can see what it is." As he said that, the eunuch next to Hu Hai immediately brought out a roll of bright yellow silk.

Hu Hai took the silk and shook it casually. The silk spread out and revealed the three strong and straight words on it: The King of Flat Top.

"King Pingding! Pingding with the Emperor Pingding, this title is a great honor."

"Mr. Zhao is extremely worthy of his contribution and deserves this royal title."

"The emperor is wise, this title is good, I agree with it."

“…”

Hu Hai listened to the annoying praises, and snorted coldly inside, but his face was very lustful.

The king's constituency has been decided, and the next step is to discuss the process and steps of the ceremony of constituency.

This kind of thing cannot be determined overnight. It requires the official of the ritual to plan it specifically and submit it to Prime Minister Li Si, and then passed it to the second emperor.

It was not until Emperor II confirmed that it was possible.

In Xianyang City, the news that Zhao Gao was named king spread. Immediately, Zhao Gao's mansion was crowded and the prosperity became more prosperous.
