Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

Ying Wei just stared at the princes and grandchildren for a long time, and finally said: "You all stay in Xianyang Palace temporarily for the time being."

"Now that the First Emperor has passed away, there is chaos everywhere. You are also in danger outside Xianyang Palace. I can guarantee your safety in this palace."

Although all the princes and grandchildren present knew that Ying Wei was putting them under house arrest in disguise.

But seeing that Ying Wei did not kill them again like he did to Hu Hai, these princes and grandchildren burst into tears and kowtowed, saying: "Thank you, uncle, for your concern!"

Ying Wei nodded and signaled the eunuch beside him to find a palace for these people to stay temporarily.

Although there are dozens of people in these three generations, it is nothing for Xianyang Palace to have more people to eat.

"Yang Zi, you stay for now."

When Ying Yin Man heard what Ying Wei said, her body trembled a little, but she still said softly: "Yes."

The other princes and grandchildren looked at Ying Yin Man with envy and jealousy.

They all knew that Ying Yin Man had a good relationship with Wang Shu's family.

When the emperor was alive, they looked up to Ying Yin Man. Now that the emperor has passed away, Ying Yin Man's status seems to have not changed. How can they not be jealous and think that she is really lucky.

But even if they are jealous, what does it matter? Their uncle really dared to attack them. These people did not dare to say much, and they were led by the eunuchs to go to the palace where they were temporarily staying.

Ying Wei returned to Zhangtai Palace, and Ying Zheng's body had been collected in the coffin.

At this time, Li Si also entered the palace from outside the palace and waited for Ying Wei's instructions in the palace.

Ying Wei thought for a while, and said to Li Si: "Put the body of the emperor temporarily, observe mourning for a few days, and see Fusu's reaction."

"If he voluntarily returns to Xianyang, it will be your responsibility to send the emperor to Mount Li and bury him in the mausoleum."

"When the time comes, you will close the tomb door and burn all the original design drawings."

When the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was built, Li Si also supervised the construction.

Li Si is also one of the few people who really know the internal structure of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

"Yes!"

Li Si responded respectfully.

Ying Wei would hand this matter over to him, which was a trust in him.

"Although you are not the right prime minister now, you are also the acting prime minister. There are still a series of things that need you to deal with. Do it now〃" 〃". ”

Ying Wei started to make big promises to Li Si again, just like before.

However, looking at Li Si, who was already 40 years old, Ying Wei thought about whether to reduce his work.

After all, Li Si was no longer young, and it was not good for him to over-exploit his labor.

What if Li Si was exhausted to death by himself like Zheng Ge one day, he would not be able to find a good candidate for the prime minister for the time being.

Regarding the establishment of something like the Military Affairs Office of the Qing Dynasty, it needs to be done step by step. Now we can't abolish the prime minister.Position.

Ying Wei was concerned about Li Si's health, but Li Si looked excited.

He finally achieved his greatest wish in life, from a minor official in Chu State to the Prime Minister of Qin State!

For Li Si, who was not a member of the Qin royal family, being made a marquis and appointed as a prime minister was the pinnacle of life.

Especially in the current Qin State, Ying Wei had no other brothers and sisters, and there were no messy princes.

In this case, Li Si would become the real second person in the empire.

Faced with Ying Wei's request, he once again had the motivation of his youth and decided to do a good job to show the king!

After Li Si left, Ying Wei found that he still had a lot of things to do.

The First Emperor was the first emperor in Chinese history. He had a lot to face, and many basic political structures started with the First Emperor.

But on the other hand, when the First Emperor passed away, Ying Wei faced the situation that he saw the emperor die for the first time, and he had to decide all the matters after the emperor's death.

For example, the huge harem in Xianyang Palace, all these women were troublesome.

Ying Zheng had married too many concubines. Now that Ying Zheng died, it was impossible for all these concubines to stay in Xianyang Palace.

For concubines with status like Zhao Ji or Ying Yin Man's mother, Ying Wei would let them continue to enjoy wealth and honor in the palace.

But others were more troublesome.

The most important thing was that there was no Buddhism in those days, and he had no way to make people become monks. As for burial alive, Ying Wei was not cruel enough to that extent.

After thinking for a while, Ying Wei said: "Li Yu!"

"I am here."

The eunuch that Ying Wei found from Zhao Ji responded quickly.

"I'll give you a task, make sure you do it for me."

"You go and count the names of all the concubines in the harem of Xianyang Palace, set up a separate category for the queen mother, and then divide the other concubines into several categories."

"First, the concubines who were favored by the first emperor and had princes, let them leave Xianyang Palace and live with their sons, and they can't marry for life."

These concubines are generally not young, many are close to 40 years old, or even in their 40s.

"Second, for the concubines who were favored by the first emperor but had no heirs, set up a new department and let them guard the mausoleum in Mount Li, so that they can take care of each other."

Since there is no Buddhism, Ying Wei is going to set up a new department similar to becoming a monk, and let these people guard the mausoleum, which can also be regarded as accompanying the first emperor throughout his life.

“¨‖ ¨‖ Third, those concubines who have not been favored by the First Emperor should stay in the palace for the time being.”

These concubines are generally young. Ying Zheng would take concubines every year, and of course, the choices for concubines are teenage girls.

However, these girls are generally of low status, have never seen the First Emperor in their lives, and are all good-looking and have good families.=The concubines are not bad either.

Because these concubines are too young and they are concubines, you can't let them go back to marry, that would damage the dignity of the royal family.

But suffering in the cold palace at such a young age is miserable enough.

So Ying Wei is ready to sacrifice himself and warm people's hearts, and these concubines will be kept to fill his harem.

Anyway, in history, many emperors did the same.

The young eunuch kept all of Ying Wei's instructions in mind and knelt down and said, "Yes!"

Ying Wei did not say the first category, how to classify concubines like Zhao Ji, this depends on the young eunuch's subjective initiative, which is also the difficulty of Ying Wei's task.

(Zhao of Zhao)(Zhao of Zhao)

If you do everything yourself, what do you need these servants for?

The young eunuch also understands this, and it is time to use his abilities!

After the young eunuch also went to work on the task assigned by Ying Wei, Ying Wei was finally able to take a break.

He looked outside the palace at this time. It was noon.

Jing Wei stood quietly beside Ying Wei without saying a word.

At this time, a eunuch announced: "Princess Yang Zi has arrived at the Kuku."

Not long after, Ying Yin Man, who had changed her clothes and bathed, entered the Zhangtai Palace and knelt on the ground and said: "Yang Zi greets Uncle Wang."

Ying Wei saw that Ying Yin Man had a dignified and gentle temperament, a pair of big eyes like watery almonds, and was as bright as water. She was a beautiful lady. Her skin, which had just been bathed, was even more faintly pink, and she was surrounded by fragrance.

"This is not the place to talk, come with me to the back."

"Yes, Uncle Wang!"

Ying Yinman walked to Ying Wei's side, lowered her head, and walked to the back with Ying Wei. .
