Chapter 479: An Alternative Deterrence (Part I)

Hey?! Something seems to be wrong!

The first emperor canonized Xiong as the wife of the country, that was because the Chu family instigated the rebellion of Cheng Jiao, and then the Chu family in the Great Qin court was almost killed, and the Chu family who was degraded in prison was countless, and only a few of them survived and stayed in the court.

The line of the old Qin people is more worthy of study, it seems that because the old Qin people lost the Chu line, but the Shandong line took the opportunity to rise, and the old Qin people in the battle of reunification were also brilliant in Wang Qian's appearance, otherwise it was basically Mengwu, Li Xin and other Shandong lines, so they gave a consolation prize and canonized a country lady in the historic clan.

Mrs. Guo is actually more special in the Qin State, she is a rank between the "Jun" who tends to be a feudal monarch and the "Guannei Hou" of the clan, which can be awarded to concubines in the palace, and can also be canonized to women outside the family with a non-winning surname, but according to the previous practice, it is generally canonized to women who are at least forty years old.

Consolation prizes and other canonizations, where is this kind of honor, it is a kind of king expressing apologies!

Lu Zhe was thinking about what the First Emperor meant by a canonization to express his apologies until he fell asleep, after all, the First Emperor didn't seem to owe Lu Zhe anything. And Lu Zhe has never received help from the Qin Empire, and his current achievements have been slowly built up in the struggle of life and death. In this way, neither side owes anyone, the difference is that Lu Zhe used to be a military marquis of the Qin Empire, and the First Emperor was the master of the Qin Empire.

Before he was about to fall asleep, a thought arose in Lu Zhe's sleepy mind: "Could it be that you want to do something to be sorry for me, and then apologize in advance?" ”

It's a bit ridiculous, but it's not so incomprehensible, power in the feudal era was always equal, and centralization was interrupted halfway through, and the current courtiers and emperors were similar to bosses and employees, not slave owners and slaves.

To put it bluntly, don't use the kind of "king wants his ministers to die" in later generations. The minister has to die", looking at the current emperor and officials, they are equal in the relationship of obligations, and the courtiers work for the emperor, unless the courtiers violate the law (Qin law), otherwise the emperor cannot kill the courtiers at will.

Of course, laws are always made by those in power, so laws always have an advantage over those in power, for example, in the laws of each dynasty and generation, there is always a special emphasis on the capital offense against the power of heaven.

Before dawn the next day, Lu Zhe woke up from his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he whispered "Someone is coming" at the same time. In a matter of moments, a maid walked in from outside.

"Prince?" The maid was married from the Zhao Mansion, and according to the current concept, it is also a private property belonging to Lu Zhe.

It's really an object, similar to a cow, a horse and a sheep, and although the slave and the slave have different identities, they are also a kind of inhuman storage, a humanoid tool that can be killed at will.

"Hold the lamp, change clothes." Lu Zhe does not have the concept of not treating people as people, but his idea is extremely close to the current aristocracy, that is, he will never have any "sexual" interest in maids. At most, it is regarded as a mediocrity.

Now there is a fire sickle, but the fire fold will not appear until the Song Dynasty, so after the maid goes out, she can hear a sound similar to the sickle being pulled, and after a while, the light will appear.

Because there is no paper to save zài. There are lanterns, but they are generally pasted with silk cloth, and people who are not rich enough to a certain level cannot afford to use them at all, but Lu Zhe happens to be in the class that can afford them.

Under Lu Zhe's attention. He saw that the current food is basically beans, and people have been studying the extraction of oil from beans, and no longer rely on rape flowers. And it seems that research has progressed, and in addition to rape flowers and animal oil, another oil will soon be added to the world.

Kuaitong and these courtiers, they actually agree with Lu Zhe to "open his brain" and generate some strange ideas when he is extremely bored, and create more useful new items. However, what they have been more concerned about recently is to let Lu Zhe's wife Zhao Wan get pregnant as soon as possible, so as to maintain the power of the lineage. The so-called lineage does not mean that cronies or confidants, it is the son-in-law born to Zhao Wan for Lu Zhe, not the line of concubines born to non-genuine ladies such as Lu Pheasant and Wei Wen.

With the light, Lu Zhe, who was already in a semi-recumbent position on the bed, could see Zhao Wan who was still sleeping, her body was slightly curled sideways when she fell asleep, and the skin on her face seemed to be frowning a little under the yellowing light?

Roll up sideways, this is a common posture in the mother's womb, after human beings go out of the birth gate, rolling up their legs sideways is the most secure sleeping position, but Zhao Wan will frown when she sleeps, it seems that there is not much security in the deepest bottom of her heart, or she is worried about something, and it is not as relaxed as she appears when she is awake.

The careful Lu Zhe naturally found the emotions that Zhao Wan expressed in his sleep, he watched quietly for a while before getting up, and covered the quilt for Zhao Wan before leaving.

"The prince is so kind to his wife." The maid admired softly.

What is the maid's name Lu Zhe has never asked, in fact, she also wants to show her sense of existence when she finds a chance to speak, so that Lu Zhe can notice that she is such a handsome and beautiful girl, and she is eager to be favored.

In response, Lu Zhe just said "oh" and never said anything more, he was not a stallion, and when he saw a more beautiful woman, he pounced on it and picked up his clothes.

There are never less than three people who serve Lu Zhe to wear clothes, not to enjoy this kind of love, but to wear deep clothes, elders, Chinese clothes, and coats.

"What time is it?" Lu Zhe, who was dressed, didn't know how he was dressed at all, after all, now that the mirror appeared, but the faint light and the vague-looking bronze mirror were not big enough, so it was strange to see whether it fit or not.

"Back to the prince, five o'clock." This time it was still the maid who spoke, but she didn't want to show her feelings, but that she could be the maid who kept vigil outside Lu Zhe's chamber and definitely had her identity, and others were not qualified to answer Lu Zhe's question.

"About six o'clock in the morning?" Lu Zhe had forgotten what time it was when he and Zhao Wan finished tossing last night, but judging from his groggy state, he must have only slept for less than four hours: "I didn't have to make up for sleep all day today." I can't eat anything too greasy due to lack of sleep, the food for entertaining the envoys of the nations remains the same, and my preparation is lighter. ”

The maid only obediently responded to the order of "hey", she bowed verbally, that is, the domestic servant's ceremony, and then led a group of people who were also kneeling on the ground to send each other, and recited to Lu Zhe, who was leaving with his feet: "Congratulations to the prince!" ”

As soon as Lu Zhefang came out of the sleeping room, it should actually be called a palace or palace now, but the etiquette system has not yet been decided, so he will call it at will. As soon as he came out, he was greeted by more than fifty armor soldiers, and under the escort of the armor soldiers, he did not see anyone carrying a sedan chair or anything, so he walked on foot to the council hall (hall) where he was going to summon the envoys of the nations today.

The palace was built less than four months ago, and the first to be completed were the dormitory, the council hall, the trial hall, and of course, the houses for the Miyagi guards to rest, and the other is the five-acre garden.

Now it is spring ploughing, and the construction of Miyagi has been suspended, and the brick-cutting work of Nanling Castle and the government projects of each county are all suspended, and only after the end of spring ploughing will they be resumed.

Lu Zhe didn't really have much requirements for where to live, he had already discussed with Xiao He, and the palace city would actually add one or two more halls, such as the residences for Lu Pheasant and Wei Wen, the buildings related to entertaining courtiers and envoys, and the rest could be done slowly.

Now that the people's livelihood in each county is recovering, it is the most scarce moment of labor, Lu Zhe originally thought that Xiao He would happily agree, but what he didn't expect was that Xiao He would rather slow down the recovery of people's livelihood in various places and asked to build the palace city first.

The monarch's palace city represents the façade of a country (power), and it is also the most direct embodiment of the national (real) strength, if you let your own lord have been living in an unfinished palace city, not to mention the countries will not laugh, Lu Zhe's palace city has not been built in a day, as courtiers, they will repair their mansions?

Moreover, to build the monarch's palace in the shortest possible time, that is the best way to deter potential hostile forces without a big war, after all, the amount of work in the palace is very large, and it can be built in a short time, which is a reflection of "Lao Tzu Some are people, some are wealthy, and some are territories that can collect resources." The shorter the project period, the more justifiable it can be to shout "Lao Tzu is not short of people, resources, a lot of money, what, scared!" ”。

Not to mention, Lu Zhe's own planning drawings highlight a feature of the buildings in Miyagi, that is, how scary it can be, it must be able to scare people to death. The pillar or something should be embraced by at least five people, and it can be as high as it can be. If you really want to come up with a term, it is full of "Soviet-style" majesty, and add "Chinese-style" style, if it is completely built, it will definitely be able to make people see those buildings and produce a kind of "high mountain up" shock, so that they will not have the idea of being an enemy when they see it.

At present, the built council hall and the trial hall are basically the same thing, because of Lu Zhe's storage zài, in addition to the strong Chinese style of the two buildings, in fact, you can also see the shadow of the "Third Reich", that is, the flags and flags and other decorations are hung very high, and then the huge flag hangs downward, and the bright red and the dragon-shaped totem on it are full of solemn taste.

When Lu Zhe came to the range of the building group of the Council Palace, he saw from a distance that Kuaitong, Xiao He, Mian Bi, and Li Shiqi were all looking up at the towering buildings, and everyone's faces were full of admiration, as well as the kind of pride that could not be concealed no matter how much they could hide.
