In the evening.
Mount Li camp, in the middle army tent.
Ying Zilie was having dinner with Invincible East by his side.
The first emperor and Zhuge Liang were seated below.
after three rounds of wine.
Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said," Young Emperor, Lord Wu 'an has sent word that the nine ministers, Zong Zheng and Feng Chang, have already started to hold the meditation platform. I believe that the First Emperor gave up his position in the sand dune palace to the Young Emperor only because the situation was urgent at that time, so he only went through the process of crowning.”
"Now, the Young Emperor is about to truly ascend the throne in the capital of Great Qin and see the mountains and rivers of the nine provinces!”
"However, the First Emperor is still alive, so the Young Emperor should show the world that he is the Retired Emperor.”
"Only when the Young Emperor resigns again and again until three times can he show the filial piety of the Great Qin royal family. Only then can the people of the world be at peace.”
……
There were two types of abdication: internal abdication and external abdication. Internal abdication was the abdication of the same surname in the royal family, such as father passing down to son or brother passing down to brother.
In history, there was a record of Zhao Wuling abdicating the throne to his youngest son.
Even though Spirit King Zhao Wu's ending was indeed somewhat unsatisfactory.
Right now.
Even though the Great Qin's Three Dukes and Country Mistress Li Qiu had already started preparing to accept the Zen Platform, their goal was to use it as a bargaining chip in exchange for the Young Emperor to send troops to quell the chaos.
Great Qin's Three Dukes and the Country Mistress did not really submit.
Even if it was only on the surface.
Now, in their hearts, the position of Emperor Shi Huang was unshakable.
In this case, it was extremely important to give in three times.
Only the three Great Qin dukes and the country's madam could see the First Emperor abdicate to Ying Zilie three times in a row.
Ying Zilie repeatedly declined until he ascended the throne.
In this way, the court officials and Ying clan relatives can be settled, and the country and the people of the nine continents can be settled.
This was etiquette!
"Three rejections and three concessions."
Ying Zilie nodded. As a transmigrator, he naturally knew about this system.
The Three Refuses and Three Concealment was something that arose during the Three Kingdoms period.
In addition, during the Song Dynasty, when an old official handed in his resignation form, the emperor had to issue an edict three times to retain him.
In order to show the friendship between monarch and minister, in addition to the old minister's achievements for the monarch and the people.
If an old official submitted a resignation, the emperor would agree to it once and not issue an edict to retain him…
The old officials who bid farewell would often be criticized by the court. The officials would also feel humiliated and would often die of depression.
This was the importance of following etiquette!
"Father, what do you think?"
Ying Zilie looked at the First Emperor with interest.
The First Emperor said quietly,"I said that I will only help you suppress the country's madam. You have to deal with the officials and clan relatives yourself." Young Emperor…you have to show me how you subdue your old subjects, right? Otherwise, you can only use the plan of slaughtering old officials and pass it on to future generations. Wouldn't it ruin my wisdom!”
If Ying Zilie was a fatuous ruler who slaughtered meritorious officials, the later Qin Shihuang would also be criticized for having poor foresight and for abdicating the throne to ruin the country.
In addition, the First Emperor really valued the group of old ministers who had fought with him. After he unified the world, he had not even killed a single meritorious minister.
From this we can see that Qin Shi Huang's methods of controlling ministers.
Unlike the kings of the later generations, they could only kill the crafty rabbit and cook the lackey.
Therefore…
The First Emperor said that he wanted to see if Ying Zilie could suppress the factions in the court!
Only then could they decide whether to follow the new system of three rejections and three concessions.
"As long as we can talk about the matter of giving in and resigning, everything between us can be discussed." Ying Zilie said with a smile.”
" Zilie," the First Emperor said faintly." Although the officials in the court are only officials, it's not that easy to make them truly submit to you as the Emperor."”
"It's not that easy, but it's definitely not as difficult as Father says.”
"Since Father wants to see me argue with the ministers, then I'll do as Father wishes," Ying Zilie said calmly.”
The First Emperor was speechless.
It had to be said that the confidence that the Young Emperor had shown from the beginning to the end had indeed moved the First Emperor.
He had to admit that the eight-year-old Ying Zilie was much more outstanding than his eldest son, Fu Su!
……
Just like that.
The sun was setting in the west, and the full moon hung on the willow branches.
Lady Li Qiu arrived as scheduled with her ministers.
Ying Zilie didn't stop them from meeting the First Emperor, but the scene was a little exaggerated.
The First Emperor was not dead yet.
The three dukes and nine ministers, as well as the relatives of the Ying Clan, were all crying out loud!
Although no one knew how much sincerity was in it, no one could doubt the dignity of the First Emperor.
The people of the Nine Provinces had many complaints about the First Emperor.
Yes.
All the officials in the imperial court had heartfelt respect and loyalty for the First Emperor.
Country Madame Li Qiu naturally burst into tears, looking pitiful.
"Alright, alright, why are you crying?"
The First Emperor waved his hand impatiently." I'm not dead. I'm just abdicating. You're crying too early!"”
When the country's wife heard this, she quickly said,"Your Majesty, don't mention the word 'death'. It's unlucky."”
Madam Guo had only tried to shoulder the heavy burden of the country for the past few days. Only then did she understand what it meant to be unbearable!
The various factions in the court fought for benefits, and the world was in chaos!
It was enough to suffocate anyone.
Until now, when he met the First Emperor…
Lady Li Qiu suddenly felt a sense of relief.
She felt that as long as the First Emperor was alive, the sky would not fall.
At this moment.
"Your Majesty is already as healthy as ever, why should you give up…"
The head of the Ying Clan's relatives, the Inner Pass Marquis, wiped his tears. Suddenly, he turned his head and said,"Young emperor, do you know that because of that imperial edict, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, and now, the rebel army has even reached Pu Ban City!”
"Young Emperor, if you still care about the country, you should immediately come back with us to welcome His Majesty!”
"Only His Majesty can control the Nine Provinces. Young Emperor, don't be willful anymore. The officials in the court will recognize your status as a vassal king since you have made great contributions in quelling the rebellion in the sand dunes!”
……
The words of the Inner Marquis were quite sincere. After all, Ying Zilie's contribution to the rebellion and the removal of the treacherous prime minister in the sand dunes could not be ignored!
They were all very willing to admit it, and they admired Ying Zilie for his achievements at the age of eight.
In the future, they could also support Ying Zilie as the Crown Prince.
However, the country was in a state of turmoil. They only believed that the First Emperor could control the four seas and eight wastelands.
As old ministers of the First Emperor, they had the thought of loyalty to the Emperor.
Actually, Ying Zilie didn't feel disgusted by it.
What a pity!
What Ying Zilie wanted was not some so-called king!
What he wanted was the throne of the emperor!
