Chapter 655: To Seize the Throne or Not to Seize the Throne! ?
The slave felt a little aggrieved. After receiving the information, he reported it as soon as possible. However, as soon as he came in, he was glared at by two people.
It was the same last time, as if he had disturbed the good things between the two of them, of course he...
etc!
Thinking of this, Nu suddenly stopped, he seemed to understand something.
He looked at Zhao Lang and Xiao Jiu who were the only two people in the room, and then saw that Xiao Jiu was still massaging his master.
If you don’t understand now, then you have been following your teacher for so long in vain.
He just focused on those things.
Thinking about it again, I have several masters, so I shouldn't be such a scumbag.
Never imagined...
"Master, I'm going out now, you are busy first."
As the slave spoke, he would shrink back.
Zhao Lang said angrily,
"What are you busy with?"
Well, it also depends on the atmosphere.
"What did Lao Huang give you? Why don't you get it quickly?"
Lao Huang is now in charge of Taoism. In this regard, he still needs to pay attention.
The people do have this need for spiritual sustenance, and it is also beneficial for him to develop Taoism.
At the very least, let the people not believe in those deceptions and evil ways.
Of course, he would not let Taoism become a place to promote superstition. As for wanting the divine right of kings, that was just a joke.
He prefers that if the Qin government doesn't allow it, you can't become a god!
He is now the first leader of Taoism, so religion must not interfere with politics. This is also an iron rule!
Soon, Nu gave the letter to Zhao Lang, which was a pile of paper filled with words.
Zhao Lang took a brief look and his eyes lit up.
This is a new calendar!
The calendar is still extremely useful. In addition to the most basic day counting, it can also guide farming.
Da Qin actually had its own calendar, called the Zhuan (zhuan1) Xu (xu3) calendar.
But there are still differences from the lunar calendar in Zhao Lang's previous life.
Of course, the new calendar that Lao Huang and the others have come up with is not that perfect.
What makes Zhao Lang happy is the integration of multiple cultures shown in this new calendar!
Making a calendar is not a simple matter.
Among them are mathematics, agriculture, astronomy and so on.
Knowledge must cooperate with each other to develop together.
Zhao Lang replied with a smile,
"Tell Lao Huang that this is a good job and let them continue."
"I will promote it after it is more complete."
This is also the purpose of the other party sending this thing.
The new calendar does not just change.
There must be a good reason, such as a change of dynasty and a new emperor ascending the throne, as the first year.
The slave immediately accepted the order.
However, he still regrets that he was not serious at first and did not memorize the complete solar terms song. Otherwise, it might be of some help.
But this incident reminded him of one thing,
"How can we throw away a festival like the Spring Festival that can unite people's hearts?"
Zhao Lang's mind quickly became active.
He had already wanted to do it in the past two years, but it was always unstable, so he gave up the idea.
Now, it was an opportunity to boost the morale of Da Qin.
Of course, now that Daqin is short of supplies, it can't do anything recklessly. It just needs to have such a concept first.
That is to say, it must first become popular among the upper echelons of Great Qin.
Having made up his mind, Zhao Lang quickly said to Xiaojiu,
"Xiaojiu, I want to tell you something. You go and arrange it with Xiaoqi."
This time, I also let dad feel what the festival atmosphere is.
After hearing this, Xiao Jiu's eyes showed a bit of novelty, and then she left with a smile to find Xiao Qi.
Early the next morning, in the court hall, after Zhao Lang listened to the reports from the courtiers, he quickly ordered,
"It's already the middle of winter. After all your hard work, you can also relax. The next seven days will be a holiday."
"Officials at all levels take turns to be on duty and take turns to rest."
Zhao Lang simply took a seven-day vacation to see the effect. It wouldn't work if it lasted longer.
The ministers were slightly stunned when they heard the news.
Then there was only a hint of suspicion on their faces, thinking when did Zhao Lang come so kindly?
There must be a trap here! trick!
None of them responded immediately, but whispered to each other.
Finally, the elder minister and nobleman said,
"Your Highness, the rest time I have been waiting for is enough, and there are many state affairs now, so there is no need to take extra time off."
They were still not sure what Zhao Lang was doing.
Every time Zhao Lang takes action, he always starts with such trivial matters, and then tricks them step by step.
So they decided to adapt to changes by staying the same.
No matter how big a hole you dig, they won't jump this time.
Zhao Lang blinked. It was the first time he saw someone actively giving him a vacation, and not one of them wanted them.
But this holiday is not just for these nobles.
After clicking his lips, Zhao Lang quickly said,
"Since you don't worry about state affairs, just go to court."
"Officials at all levels have three days off, and they just take turns to rest."
He doesn't care about these ministers and nobles, he mainly wants to let the people below relax.
Including the sergeants in the army, they must eat something good no matter what.
When the cold winter is over and war breaks out with the Huns, it will be difficult to rest.
This time, the ministers did not stop him.
After arranging these things, Zhao Lang did not leave immediately, but said to Wang Jian, who seemed not to wake up,
"Teacher, the student would like to invite you to a banquet in the palace in two days."
A trace of doubt flashed in Wang Jian's eyes, but he still nodded with a smile and said,
"Okay, I will definitely be there."
Zhao Lang said to Li Si on the side again,
"Uncle Li, you have to come too."
Hearing this, Li Si naturally agreed with a smile.
Zhao Lang then returned to the palace.
After Zhao Lang left, Li Si and Wang Jian looked at each other, but they only saw the other's confusion.
They were all unsure of Zhao Lang's intentions.
However, it's not a big problem, just ask Zhao Lang privately when the time comes.
Li Si's mind was spinning twice. This banquet did not include family members.
Of course, Zhao Gao told Qin Shihuang everything about these things.
"Lang'er gives the officials a holiday and also holds a banquet? What does this mean?"
Qin Shihuang asked with some confusion,
"Is there a minister in the court who has offended Lang'er recently?"
Based on his understanding of Zhao Lang, the other party would never do anything meaningless.
This is probably someone he is waiting to set a trap for.
Zhao Gao also thought about it in confusion, but still had no clue. In the end, he could only shake his head slightly and replied,
"The ministers have been very honest recently. Didn't you see anyone offending His Royal Highness?"
Upon hearing this answer, both of them frowned deeply.
If both of them can't figure it out, then Zhao Lang's purpose will be even more terrifying!
Thinking about what Zhao Lang had done before, Qin Shihuang couldn't sit still and said,
"That's all, go find Lang'er and I'll ask him personally."
At this juncture, he must be careful and must not let Zhao Lang do anything big.
Just as Zhao Gao was about to accept the order, an attendant's report came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince would like to see you."
Qin Shihuang nodded, and soon, Zhao Lang walked in,
"Dad, I want to invite you..."
Before Zhao Lang could finish speaking, Qin Shihuang asked,
"Lang'er, you said in court today that you wanted to give ministers and officials a holiday. Is this true?"
Zhao Lang nodded directly.
There is nothing to hide in this matter.
Seeing Zhao Lang's admission, Qin Shihuang asked directly,
"Who offended you again this time? Who are you trying to trick?"
"Didn't I tell you that the Qin Dynasty can no longer withstand the turmoil. If you really want to deal with it, wait until the Huns are pacified."
"Tell me, can I just take him with me?"
He won't go around in circles with Zhao Lang now.
As long as Zhao Lang is willing to maintain the status quo and once the Huns are pacified, he will have no problem taking away several ministers in the name of burial.
As for such things as notoriety, he no longer cared about it.
But Zhao Lang made everyone numb when he heard it.
"Dad, what are you talking about? I just want everyone to relax during this holiday. I am here to invite you to the banquet later."
Zhao Lang directly proposed his plan for the Spring Festival holiday.
After listening, Qin Shihuang's brows did not relax at all, but asked,
"Is this true?"
Zhao Langren had been numb for several times, and he promised emphatically,
"Dad, I really just want to boost my morale for the upcoming war..."
But before he could finish speaking, he heard Qin Shihuang wave his hand and say,
"If you don't want to say it, forget it. I will come to the banquet naturally, and I will be watching you anyway!"
"Also, since you want to have a banquet, I will also invite a few ministers over."
"Okay, Zhao Gao, send Langer away."
Soon, Zhao Gao sent Zhao Lang outside. Looking at Zhao Lang with a helpless face, Zhao Gao whispered,
"Your Majesty, please listen to His Majesty. The most important thing in the Qin Dynasty now is the Xiongnu."
Zhao Lang blinked and said,
"Uncle Zhao, I really don't have any plans!"
Zhao Gao nodded repeatedly and said,
"Yes, yes, it's okay if you don't have it, it's okay if you don't have it."
"Your Highness, you must think of the overall situation!"
Then he turned and returned to the palace.
Zhao Lang could only shake his head. Fortunately, the problem was not big. By the time of the banquet, everyone knew that he did not have any special plans.
Soon, two days passed in an instant.
A banquet has been arranged in the palace.
All the princes and princesses arrived at the scene with different expressions.
Which of them dare not come to Zhao Lang's invitation?
I didn’t see Fusu and Gao, who were disobedient, still suffering in the north.
Fortunately, after they sat down, some courtiers came one after another, and they felt a lot more at ease.
Zhao Lang also became the receptionist. When he saw Wang Jian, he went over to greet him and said with a smile,
"Teacher, you are here, come on, come on..."
Wang Jian glanced around slightly and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered,
"Lang'er, what's your plan this time? Do you need my cooperation?"
With one sentence, Zhao Lang was blocked back, sighed in his heart, and said dryly,
"Teacher, I really don't have any plans!"
Hearing Zhao Lang's words, Wang Jian nodded.
"Yes, I know that even the teacher can't leak the secret."
"..."
Zhao Lang had nothing to say.
After waiting for a while, Li Si was not seen. Qin Shihuang had already walked over with Zhao Gao.
Seeing all the princes and princesses around him, his heart moved slightly and he asked Zhao Gao beside him,
"Did you report yesterday that Lang'er's men gave him a new calendar?"
Zhao Gao nodded, and Qin Shihuang's eyes suddenly became more complicated.
At this time, Zhao Lang greeted him very enthusiastically.
"Dad, you are here. Today is the New Year's Day. My son has asked me to prepare some songs and dances."
"Look, from now on we, the people of Great Qin, can take this opportunity to relax at the end of the year."
Zhao Lang quickly explained the meaning of the Spring Festival in detail.
He is afraid that his father will have random thoughts. He just wants to add another holiday!
After listening to Zhao Lang's words, Qin Shihuang finally lost most of his doubts and said,
"Does this festival have such a purpose?"
Zhao Lang nodded affirmatively. Although he was alone in his previous life, he was looking forward to the improved food during those festivals.
The joy around him was an unforgettable scene for him.
Qin Shihuang nodded and said with a smile,
"Dad made the mistake of blaming you."
"That's all, let's start the banquet."
Zhao Lang said with a smile,
"You are the parent today, so naturally you make the decision."
After saying that, he gave up his position completely. Everyone was already here anyway. This was to show his attitude.
He just wanted to have a good holiday.
Seeing this scene, Qin Shihuang suddenly felt relieved and made a slight gesture to Zhao Gao on the side.
The banquet officially began.
With the First Emperor sitting in charge, everyone relaxed.
Zhao Lang looked at the lively scene and found the long-lost warmth in his heart.
It also strengthened the belief in my heart that one day, all the people of Great Qin would have such a day.
This time, he was no longer restrained and directly opened his cheeks to drink.
There is a saying that although the purity of Da Qin's wine is low, it is still a bit intoxicating after drinking too much.
Just when he was drinking heavily, he heard his father's voice,
"Lang'er, as the prince, you should also talk to your brothers and sisters."
Although Zhao Lang was a little drunk at this time, his mind was still very clear.
The so-called drunken sex is just an excuse. People who are really drunk are fast asleep.
So he stood up slightly swaying and said,
"Everyone, on this occasion of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new..."
Zhao Lang was talking about some clichés from his previous life.
But they didn't notice that at this moment, all the courtiers, princes and princesses were startled!
Wang Jian and Li Si's expressions changed drastically!
Zhao Gao was trembling all over!
A thought suddenly flashed through their minds,
"Quiting the old and welcoming the new? Whose old is leaving? Whose new is welcoming?"
"Is this his plan?! To seize the throne in front of everyone? This is too courageous!"
Then everyone looked at Qin Shi Huang beside Zhao Lang.
Qin Shihuang looked at Zhao Lang, who was swaying a little from drinking, with a complicated expression. The Black Ice Guards around him looked even more nervous.
The two of them are too close!
Although the slave on the side was not so sensitive to these things, he also realized that something was wrong. He clenched his fist slightly and made a secret signal.
The attendants around him also looked uncomfortable.
Only Zhao Lang stood up and said without noticing,
"Dad, I wish you ten thousand years, I wish the Qin Dynasty ten thousand years, and I wish China ten thousand years!"
Then he took a swig.
After finishing the drink, he leaned forward and fell into Qin Shihuang's arms and fell asleep.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned again. What the hell is going on?
Is this a matter of seizing the throne or not? ?
But Qin Shihuang looked at Zhao Lang's sleepy appearance and once again recalled how pure Zhao Lang was when his dementia was not cured.
In the midst of the tension, Qin Shihuang's voice sounded calmly,
"Everyone, bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. I wish the Qin Dynasty thousands of years! I wish China thousands of years!"
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
