Zhao Gao now only felt that his internal organs were trembling.
Even that night when Zhao Lang fought his way into Xianyang, he had never panicked so much.
Zhao Lang wrote a lot in this letter, but the meaning was simple.
That is to move the First Emperor’s Lishan Mausoleum!
Heaven is above!
What is the Lishan Tomb?
It’s the tomb the First Emperor prepared for himself after he unified the Six Kingdoms!
It’s costly and prestigious!
He always thought he’d lived so long before, what hadn’t he seen before?
But he had never seen a son move his old man’s grave!
This is a civil disobedience ah!
It’s a direct death sentence!
Put on the royal family, it’s not so different from rebellion!
Not to mention, Zhao Lang is now leading a large army towards Xianyang!
How can he not panic? Not afraid? How can he not get weak in the knees?
Looking at Zhao Gao’s trembling appearance, Qin Shi Huang also realised something and put down what he was doing and picked up the letter.
Opening it and looking at it, soon, a look of gravity also surfaced on his face, and he also frowned slightly.
But still, he kept reading.
It was only then that Zhao Gao slowly came back to his senses.
Looking at Qin Shi Huang’s uncertain look, he muttered in his heart.
But he didn’t have the guts to open his mouth.
This matter, it was not something he alone could get involved in anymore.
After a while, Emperor Qin Shi Huang finished reading the letter, looked at Zhao Gao’s shocked appearance, and said with a hard-to-understand look that
“Let Li Si, Wang Jian enter the palace.”
Zhao Gao hurriedly led the order to leave.
After Li Si’s last statement, he directly lost his position as prime minister and is now at home.
Wang Jian is still guarding Xianyang City with Wang Ben.
So the call over was relatively quick.
Soon, the two appeared in front of Emperor Shi Huangdi with serious faces, and after the monarch and minister saluted, Emperor Qin Shi Huang gave the letter to the two.
Even though Zhao Gao had already vaguely revealed some of it to the two on the way.
But when they really saw the letter, the two of them still couldn’t help but shake a bit, and a horror that was hard to hide appeared in their eyes.
Zhao Lang’s approach was simply disregarding the laws of propriety!
Neither of them said anything, but it was still Qin Shi Huang who was the first to say.
“Long is the leader of your two families, and now he wants my mausoleum to be a mausoleum for his soldiers, what do you say, should I give it?”
Hearing this, both of them directly saluted and said.
“Your Majesty rest your anger!”
But still, they didn’t answer the question that
Qin Shi Huang then pressed the question, and
“Li Si, speak!”
Li Si only felt bitter in his mouth now, this chief of his, every time he didn’t mess up, even if he didn’t, when he messed up, he would stab the sky!
How dare he ask the First Emperor for his tomb?
You know, even in the most difficult times at that time, his ministers only dared to advise that the Abenomics Palace should be stopped first.
No one dared to touch the Lishan Tomb!
It’s about the First Emperor’s afterlife!
“Your Majesty, I… I…”
After hesitating for half a day, Li Si didn’t say anything.
“Wang Jian, speak!”
Qin Shi Huang looked at Wang Jian at this time.
Wang Jian at this time was following the news in Zhao Lang’s letter and thought of something.
His complexion became a bit more composed, and then he said back.
“Your Majesty, you are wrong about one thing?”
Qin Shi Huang raised his eyebrows and
“Oh?”
Wang Jian returned at this point with a resolute look on his face, and
“Your Majesty, now that this world is full of your soldiers, how can you say that you are claiming the mausoleum for the Prince’s soldiers?”
“In this matter, His Highness the Crown Prince is merely giving a suggestion.” Gu
Wang Jian directly threw the blame back.
He didn’t want Zhao Lang to carry this reputation.
Qin Shi Huang did not speak at this time, but gazed at the few people in front of him.
Zhao Gao, and Li Si directly lowered their heads.
Only Wang Jian, looked at the other party with a resolute expression.
Suddenly, Qin Shi Huang revealed a smile and said.
“Good, worthy of being a true great general, I am relieved to have you guarding Xianyang.”
“And look at you two, what a shame!”
Seeing this scene, a few people froze for a moment, then revealed a hint of joy.
This reaction from His Majesty seemed to be in play!
Qin Shi Huang said without any goodwill at this time.
“Let the Taoists enthrone the soldiers as Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, and also make human figurines for the generals, saying that they are here to guard me.”
“And then hold me up as the Heavenly Emperor.”
“It’s also thanks to him for thinking of it.”
These ideas were all said by Zhao Lang in his letter.
In his opinion, of course, they were absurd to the extreme.
There was no such thing as the Heavenly Court in the entire Great Qin right now.
Zhao Lang’s letter didn’t expand on it in detail either, so it naturally sounded a bit absurd.
Wang Jian, who was on the side, laughed at this time and said.
“Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince is right, there is my Great Qin on this ground.”
“Even if there are gods and goddesses in the sky, they should still be under the jurisdiction of my Great Qin.”
“As for you, Your Majesty, being the Emperor of Heaven, it is only natural.”
“Throughout the ages, in the heavens and on the earth, besides you, who else has this qualification?”
Hearing this, Zhao Gao on the side was blinded for a moment, he couldn’t even clap on this horse’s arse!
These old ministers, they really do have something.
Qin Shi Huang also couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
Wang Jian was usually not one to pat on the back, so when he did it occasionally, it seemed extremely sincere.
Qin Shi Huang thought the same from the bottom of his heart, if there had to be a Heavenly Emperor in this world, then naturally it had to be him as well.
Even if he went up after that and saw that there was another, he would still have to bring the Great Qin’s heavenly soldiers and generals and topple the other side to the ground!
Slightly self-congratulatory, Qin Shi Huang quickly said.
“That’s just it, I’ll promise him about Long Er.”
“Hmph, this kid, wanting to use the royal status to give the people of the world a foundation, is ruthless.”
He had already seen through Zhao Lang’s intentions behind this.
The ordinary soldiers of Great Qin were mostly from the common people.
Raising their status would also raise the status of the people.
Moreover, this was obviously only the first step, and there would definitely be other measures afterwards.
Wang Jian and the three of them looked at each other for a while, they really didn’t know that there was such a deep meaning behind Zhao Lang.
But at this time, they could only say.
“Your Majesty is wise!”
Qin Shi Huang nodded his head and said that
“Since Lang’er wants me to build up his momentum, then I will do as he wishes.”
“Announce to the world that starting from me, all generals who died for the country in the future will be allowed to enter the Imperial Tomb!”
Hearing the edict, several people took a deep breath, and then said.
“Honour the order!”
They knew that from today onwards, Great Qin would see a big change!
Qin Shihuang’s edict quickly made its way to the Craftsmen’s Supervisor, and with the printing press.
All these edicts would be copied directly and then spread all over the world.
It was simple and direct, and there was no fear of mistakes.
Only this time, the printing took some more time, because the wordsmiths who were responsible for arranging the words, when they saw this edict, they all sat directly on the ground for half a day without getting up.
When the county magistrates from all over the world received the imperial decree, they could not help but be dumbfounded.
The messengers went out with the imperial decree, and it didn’t go too well after posting it.
Because the people who were usually in charge of reciting the edicts were also all acting like they were having a stroke.
When the other party managed to calm down and finished reading, the people were also directly baffled.
But then, it was a frenzy!
And this fervour was still spreading!
