During the Warring States Period, all the schools of thought placed great importance on filial piety.
There was no need to say anything about the Confucian school, which paid the most attention to respecting the old and cherishing the young.
Great Qin's respected Legalism had directly incorporated filial piety into its laws.
In other words, it was only right for an old man to beat his son. He could beat him to death!
However, if their children were not filial, the father could report to the government and accuse them of being disobedient and unfilial. The government would then send Qin officials to kill the unfilial children on the spot!
Under such a background.
The king naturally had to restrain himself and return to propriety, be filial and love benevolence, or else he would not be able to become an example for the people of the world.
Because of this, even though the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji had made the mistake of favoring her close officials, the First Emperor still welcomed the Empress Dowager back after killing 27 officials who had tried to dissuade her.
At this moment.
Under the gazes of the ministers, generals, and soldiers.
Ying Zilie declared to the First Emperor that if his father rebelled, it would be treason!
The First Emperor was truly stunned!
Baiqi, Zhuge Liang, and the other civil and military officials were also a little stunned. This was also the first time they had seen the true aura of Great Qin's new Emperor!
It is natural for a son to be filial to his father.
It has been the custom since ancient times for courtiers to be loyal to the monarch.
In the future, Ying Zilie would be the ruler, and the First Emperor would be a 'courtier' after he abdicated.
"Good!"
"My words are worth nine cauldrons," the First Emperor said angrily. Since the bet is made, heaven and earth will be the witness."
Ying Zilie nodded." The new Emperor is not joking. The Young Emperor has made a promise, and both man and God are witnesses."”
Wasn't it just flaunting literary talent?
Ying Zilie said that he had been in the Emperor's house for five years, so he was not afraid of the First Emperor.
"If I give Xianyang Palace to you, where will I live?”
"Doesn't Imperial Father have Epang Palace?"
"Epang Palace hasn't been built yet. Do you want me to live in a broken house?”
" A broken house???"
Ying Zilie organized his words and said in a deep voice,"Imperial Father, according to what I know, your Epang Palace covers more than three hundred miles. Mount Li is built in the north and bent in the west.”
"Five steps to a building, ten steps to a pavilion, the corridor is curved, the eaves are high, each according to the terrain, scheming against each other.”
" Pan Pan, granary, beehives and whirlpools, I don't know how many tens of millions of drops fall, long bridge lying on the waves, no clouds, no dragons, the road is empty, no rainbows!”
"How could such an unprecedented Epang Palace become a broken house in Imperial Father's mouth?”
"Imperial Father, is this how you set an example for your son?”
……
In fact, the First Emperor also liked beautiful women. Epang Palace was not only grand, but it also contained the world's most beautiful women. It was definitely a hundred times more luxurious than the sand dune palace that King Zhou had meticulously built.
Suddenly!
Xin Qiji, the war poet in the square, said softly,""Young Empress is really talented!"
Great Ming Taiyue Zhang Juzheng nodded repeatedly in agreement."Young Emperor, with just a few words, you can fully grasp the grandeur and luxury of Epang Palace. You are truly a genius!”
Zhang Tingyu, the pillar of the country, said," That's right. The Young Emperor was born with knowledge. Even the First Emperor could not compare with him.”
When a famous official in history complimented someone, it was indeed incomparable to ordinary people.
The corners of the First Emperor's mouth twitched when he saw this.
He suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Swoosh!"
Qin Shi Huang flicked his sleeves and returned to the main hall.
"Lord Wu 'an, send someone to watch Li Si. Don't let him get wind of this and run away." Ying Zilie instructed Baiqi.”
"Young Empress, don't worry. No one is allowed to enter or leave the military camp outside the sand dune, especially the officials who were originally with the First Emperor!”
Baiqi cupped his hands and reported.
" Very good," Ying Zilie said with satisfaction." Then, let's call it a night." The eighteen cavalrymen of Yan Yun will stay behind. You can retreat and set up camp. Tomorrow, we will welcome the abdication of the First Emperor and my coronation!”
"Yes!"
Baiqi and the other generals bowed respectfully!
When they raised their heads.
Ying Zilie had also returned to the Sand Dune Palace.
Invincible East led the Eighteen Cavalry of Yan Yun to guard the surroundings of the hall.
Without the Young Emperor's order, anyone who approached the hall would be killed immediately!
……
Inside the hall.
The First Emperor started to bargain with Ying Zilie,"Epang Palace isn't finished yet, you can't stop it.”
"Don't worry, Father. I won't let you suffer." Ying Zilie held his forehead.”
The First Emperor was clearly anxious about the fact that he was about to abdicate.
This was very normal.
The day before, Qin Shi Huang returned to take charge of all the power in the world.
At this moment, Qin Shi Huang could only retire in Epang Palace.
The difference was indeed a little big.
It was normal for him to make small requests.
"There's also the Li Mountain mausoleum. There are tens of thousands of terracotta soldiers inside. Even if I go underground, I'll become the emperor and follow along with tens of thousands of chariots!”
The First Emperor especially valued the treatment after his death, so to a certain extent, the Lishan mausoleum was more important to him than Epang Palace.
"I will definitely help you with your great wish, Imperial Father!" Ying Zilie agreed.”
"Also, remember not to kill your brothers and sisters at will.”
"Imperial Father, you've already told me twice.”
"Zilie, you can't go back on your word a year later!”
"Don't worry, Imperial Father. As the new Emperor of the Great Qin Empire, my words carry weight.”
"Speaking of which, I was afraid that you would go back on your word and secretly carry out a rebellion with the original officials!”
The First Emperor's eyes widened." I'm a man of my word. Since I've promised to help you, I won't give you any trouble. Don't ever mention rebellion again!"”
The First Emperor felt that it was very strange to say that he was plotting a rebellion.
It was too strange!
"Alright, Father has finished making his request. Now, it's my turn to make one last request.”
Ying Zilie knew that political means were nothing more than exchanging resources and power between two parties.
He promised the First Emperor to continue building Epang Palace and Mount Li Tomb!
In that case, Shi Huang would have to make concessions where he needed to!
"Zilie, you…what other requests do you have?？”
The First Emperor suddenly had a bad feeling!
