Nu felt a little aggrieved, after receiving the message, he reported over at the first opportunity, but how is it that as soon as he came in, he was met with two angry glares.
It was the same last time, as if he had disturbed the two, and of course he…
And so on!
At the thought, Nu suddenly stopped, as if he understood something.
Looking at the room, there were only Zhao Lang and Xiao Jiu, and then looking at Xiao Jiu who was still massaging his own master.
If Nu didn’t understand now, it would be a waste to have followed his own teacher for so long.
He was just preoccupied with those matters.
Then again, thinking about it, his own master had several of them, so he shouldn’t be able to be so scummy.
Never thought…
“Master, that I’m going out now, you get busy first.”
Nu spoke and was about to shrink back.
Zhao Lang said without a trace of anger.
“Busy with what?”
This thing, right, also depends on the atmosphere.
“What did Old Huang give you? Don’t hurry up and bring it up.”
Old Huang was now in charge of Taoism, and in this regard, he still had to take care of it.
The people did have this need for spiritual support, and it would be beneficial for him to develop Taoism.
At the very least, so that the people do not go to believe in those deceptive and evil ways.
Of course, he wouldn’t let Taoism become a place where superstition was preached, and as for wanting some kind of divine right of kings, that would be a joke.
He is more inclined to, the Great Qin government does not allow, you can not become a god to get immortal!
He is now even the first head of the Taoist family, so it is also an iron law that religions are not allowed to interfere in politics!
Soon enough, Nu gave Zhao Lang the letter, a stack of paper with writing all over it.
Zhao Lang glanced at it slightly, and his eyes lit up.
It was a new calendar!
This calendar thing was still extremely useful, apart from the most basic day counting, it could even guide farming.
Great Qin actually had its own calendar, called the Zhuan (zhuan1) Xu (xu3) calendar.
However, there was a difference between it and the lunar calendar of Zhao Lang’s previous life.
Of course, now that Old Huang and the others had come up with a new calendar, it wasn’t that perfect.
What Zhao Lang was happy about was the fusion between the multiple disciplines shown within this new calendar!
Making a calendar was not a simple matter.
There was mathematics, agronomy, astronomy, and so on.
Between the studies, it’s all about co-ordination in order to develop together.
Zhao Lang smiled and said back.
“Tell Old Huang that this thing is doing well, let them continue.”
“I’ll come and promote it when it’s more perfect.”
This was also the purpose of the other party sending this thing over.
The new calendar wasn’t something that could be changed just like that.
There has to be a good reason for it, such as a change of dynasty and a new emperor taking the throne, as a way to use it as the first year.
The slave immediately led the way.
However, he still had some regrets that he wasn’t serious in the first place and didn’t memorise the complete festival song, or else he might have been able to help a little.
But this thing reminded him of one thing…
“How can a festival like the Spring Festival, which can unite people’s hearts, be thrown away.”
Zhao Lang’s mind quickly came alive.
He had wanted to organise it for the previous two years, but it had just been unstable and he had lost the idea.
Now, it was a chance to boost the morale of the whole of Great Qin.
Of course, now the Qin materials are scarce, can not make a big deal, first have such a concept on the line.
It is to be popular from the upper level of Qin first.
Having made up his mind, Zhao Lang quickly said to Xiao Jiu.
“Xiao Jiu, I’m ordering you something, go and arrange it with Xiao Qi.”
This time, also let Pops feel what it means to feel the festive atmosphere.
Xiao Jiu’s eyes also revealed a few moments of novelty after hearing this, then smiled and left to find Xiao Qi.
Early the next morning, in the courtroom, after Zhao Lang heard the returns from the courtiers, he quickly commanded that
“Now that it’s already mid-winter, all of you have worked hard and can also relax and unwind, the next seven days will be taken as a holiday.”
“Officials at all levels, take turns on duty and take turns resting.”
Zhao Lang directly put seven days of holiday first to see the effect, longer would not work.
When the ministers heard the news, they all froze slightly.
Then a hint of suspicion surfaced on their faces in addition to a hint of suspicion, all thinking when did Zhao Lang come so kindly?
There was bound to be a trap here! A trick!
Each and every one of them didn’t reply immediately, but instead exchanged a few words.
At last it was the older minister-noble who said.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, we still have enough time to take a break, and since there are so many matters of state nowadays, there is no need to purposely take this extra holiday.”
They still couldn’t figure out Zhao Lang’s approach.
Every time Zhao Lang made a move, he always started with this type of small matter and then pitted them step by step.
So they decided to respond to all changes with no change.
No matter how big of a hole you dig up, they just won’t jump this time anyway.
Zhao Lang blinked, for the first time, he saw the initiative to give holidays and one still didn’t want it.
But this holiday wasn’t just for these nobles.
Tapping his lips, Zhao Lang quickly said.
“Since all of you are uneasy about the affairs of state, then all of you should just go to court.”
“Officials at all levels will take a three-day holiday, taking turns to rest is all.”
He didn’t care about these ministers and nobles, he was mainly letting the people below loose.
Including the sergeants in the army, how can they eat something good.
Once the winter is over and there is a war with the Huns, it will be hard to rest again.
This time, the ministers did not stop them.
After arranging these things, Zhao Lang didn’t leave immediately, but said to Wang Jian, who hadn’t seemed to have woken up.
“Teacher, the student would like to invite you to a banquet in the palace, two days later.”
Wang Jian’s eyes, however, also flashed a trace of doubt, but still nodded with a smile and said.
“Good, old me will definitely be there.”
Zhao Lang added with Li Si, who was at the side, saying that
“Uncle Li, you’re also coming over.”
Hearing this, Li Si naturally agreed with a smile.
Only then did Zhao Lang return to the palace.
It was only after Zhao Lang had left that Li Si and Wang Jian both looked at each other, but both only saw the other’s puzzled look.
Neither of them could figure out Zhao Lang’s intentions.
However, it wasn’t a big problem, just ask Zhao Lang privately when the time came.
Li Si’s heart turned two more times, this wine banquet, it didn’t say that he wasn’t allowed to bring his family.
Of course, all these things were told by Zhao Gao to Qin Shi Huang, one by one.
“Lang’er is giving the officials a holiday and hosting a banquet? What is the meaning of this?”
Qin Shi Huang asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Is there a minister in the court who has offended Wave-er recently?”
With his understanding of Zhao Lang, the other party would definitely not do anything meaningless.
This was probably waiting to set someone up again.
Zhao Gao also puzzled and thought about it, but he never had a clue, and in the end, he could only shake his head slightly and returned, saying.
“Recently, the ministers have been honest, I didn’t see anyone who offended His Highness the Crown Prince?”
Hearing this reply, both of their brows couldn’t help but wrinkle deeply.
If both of them couldn’t see through it, then it meant that Zhao Lang’s purpose was even more terrifying!
Thinking about the things that Zhao Lang had done before, Qin Shi Huang was a bit unable to sit still and said.
“That’s just it, you go and get Long here, I’ll ask him myself.”
Now at this juncture, he must keep an eye on it, and definitely not let Zhao Lang get into anything big.
Zhao Gao was about to take orders, when the attendant’s report came from outside the door.
“Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince seeks an audience.”
Qin Shi Huang nodded, and soon, Zhao Lang walked in and
“Father, my son would like to ask you…”
Without waiting for Zhao Lang to finish his sentence, Qin Shi Huang asked, the
“Long’er, you said in the court today that you were giving the ministers and officials a holiday, is this true?”
Zhao Lang directly nodded his head.
There was nothing to hide about this.
Seeing that Zhao Lang admitted it, Emperor Qin Shi Huang asked directly.
“Who offended you this time? Who are you trying to trap?”
“Didn’t I tell you, now Great Qin can’t withstand the turmoil, if you really want to dispose of anyone, wait until after the Xiong Nu has been pacified.”
“You tell me, I will directly take him with me, okay?”
He wasn’t beating around the bush with Zhao Lang now.
As long as Zhao Lang was willing to maintain the status quo, when the Xiong Nu was pacified, it would still be no problem for him to directly take a few ministers in the name of martyrdom.
As for things like infamy, he was already blissfully unconcerned.
It’s just that Zhao Lang was numb from hearing it…
“Father, what are you talking about? This holiday child just wants to let everyone relax, and this time I came because I also wanted to invite you to the wine banquet afterwards.”
Zhao Lang directly brought up his plans for the Spring Festival holiday.
After hearing this, Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s brows did not stretch in the slightest, but instead asked.
“Is this statement true?”
Zhao Langren had been numb several times, and swore with conviction and assurance that
“Father, my son really just wants to boost morale for the big battle after…”
Just before he finished his sentence, he heard Qin Shi Huang waving his hand and saying.
“Forget it if you don’t want to talk about it, I’ll naturally be there for the banquet, and will be watching you anyway!”
“Also, since you want to feast, I’ll also invite a few of my ministers over.”
“Alright, Zhao Gao, send Lang’er away.”
Soon after, Zhao Gao sent Zhao Lang outside, looking at the helpless Zhao Lang, Zhao Gao whispered.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, just listen to His Majesty’s words, nowadays the most important thing for Great Qin is the Huns ah.”
Zhao Lang blinked at this and said.
“Uncle Zhao, I really don’t have any plans!”
Zhao Gao nodded his head as he listened and said.
“Yes, yes, yes, it’s good to have none, it’s good to have none.”
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, you must think of the greater good!”
Then he turned around and went back inside the palace.
Zhao Lang could only shake his head as well, it was good that the problem wasn’t too big, by the time he got to the banquet, everyone would know that he indeed didn’t have any bullsh*t special plans.
Soon, two days passed in a flash.
A wine banquet had already been set up inside the palace.
All the royal sons and daughters arrived at the scene with different colours.
Who would dare not come to Zhao Lang’s invitation?
Didn’t see the disobedient Fu Su and Gao, both still suffering in the north.
Luckily, after they took their seats, some courtiers came one after another, and they were quite relieved.
Zhao Lang also became the reception, and when he saw Wang Jian, he directly greeted him and smiled and said.
“Teacher, you are here, come come come…”
Wang Jian, however, slightly swept his surroundings and saw that there were not many people, before he whispered.
“Wave child, what is your plan this time? May I need my co-operation?”
With one sentence, Zhao Lang was blocked, sighed in his heart, and said dryly.
“Teacher, I really don’t have any plans!”
Hearing Zhao Lang’s words, Wang Jian nodded his head and
“Not bad, knowing that just can’t be leaked even by the teacher.”
“…”
Zhao Lang was speechless.
After waiting for a while and not seeing Li Si, Qin Shi Huang had already brought Zhao Gao over.
Seeing all the imperial sons and daughters around him, his heart moved slightly and he asked Zhao Gao, who was at the side, that
“Did you report yesterday that Wave’s men gave him a new calendar?”
Zhao Gao nodded, and Qin Shi Huang’s eyes suddenly became a little more complicated.
At this time, Zhao Lang greeted him with extreme enthusiasm and
“Father, you’re here, today is considered to be a New Year’s festival, my son had people prepare some songs and dances.”
“Take a look, in the future, the people of our Great Qin can take this opportunity to relax and unwind at the end of every year.”
Zhao Lang quickly went over the significance of the Spring Festival in detail.
He was afraid that Pops would get carried away, he just wanted to add an additional holiday ah!
After listening to Zhao Lang’s words, the doubts in Qin Shi Huang’s heart were finally mostly gone, saying.
“This festival still has this kind of effect?”
Zhao Lang nodded affirmatively, although he was alone in his last life, he was extremely looking forward to it, the improved meals during those festivals.
The joy around him was an even more unforgettable scene for him.
Only then did Qin Shi Huang nod his head and said with a smile.
“It was father who misjudged you.”
“That’s all, let’s start the banquet.”
Zhao Lang said with a smile.
“You’re the parent today, so naturally you’ll be the host.”
After saying that, he completely gave up his position, anyway, the people had already arrived, he was showing his attitude.
He had just wanted to have a good holiday in the first place.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Qin Shi Huang was instantly relieved and gave a slight gesture to Zhao Gao at the side.
The banquet then officially began.
With the First Emperor in the chair, everyone relaxed.
Zhao Lang looked at the lively scene and found a long-lost warmth in his heart.
It also strengthened the belief in his heart that one day, he wanted all the people of Great Qin to have such a day.
This time, he was no longer restrained, and directly threw open his cheeks and drank freely.
There is a say one, although the purity of the Great Qin wine is low, but drink too much is still a little drunk.
Just when he was in the middle of drinking, he heard the voice of his old man, the
“Wave child, as the crown prince, you also talk to your brothers and sisters.”
Although Zhao Lang was a bit drunk at this time, his mind was still clear.
The so-called drunkenness was all just an excuse, and those who were truly drunk were huffing and puffing.
So slightly shaken, stood up and said.
“Gentlemen, on the occasion of the old year and the new year…”
Zhao Lang was saying some condescending words from his previous life.
However, he didn’t notice that at this moment, all the courtiers, imperial sons and daughters were violently stunned!
Wang Jian on the side, Li Si’s complexion changed dramatically!
Zhao Gao, on the other hand, was trembling!
A thought flashed through their minds, unanimously.
“Resign the old and welcome the new? Whose old? Whose new?”
“This is his plan? Seizing the throne in front of everyone? That’s too much guts!”
Then everyone looked at Qin Shi Huang beside Zhao Lang in unison.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang looked at Zhao Lang, who was beside him and a little staggered from drinking, with a complex expression, and the surrounding Black Ice Guards were even more tense.
The two were too close!
Although the slave at the side was not so sensitive to this, he also noticed that something was wrong and slightly clenched his fists, making a secret signal.
The surrounding retainers, their expressions also became uncomfortable.
Only Zhao Lang who stood up was completely oblivious and said.
“Father, I wish you ten thousand years, ten thousand years to Great Qin, and ten thousand years to Huaxia!”
And then drank a cup of pain.
After drinking it, his body slumped and fell asleep in Qin Shi Huang’s arms.
Seeing this scene, everyone was once again confused, what the hell is this situation?
Is this seizing the throne or not seizing the throne!
However, when Emperor Qin Shi Huang looked at Zhao Lang’s fainting appearance, he once again recalled the time when Zhao Lang’s dementia was not cured and was also so pure.
Right in the midst of all the tension, Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s voice faintly rang out and
“Gentlemen, to the old and the new, I wish Great Qin ten thousand years! Wish Huaxia ten thousand years!”
After saying this, he drank it all in one go.
