"I reorganized the Black Ice Platform. From now on, the Black Ice Platform will be renamed the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Dun Ruo will be the first commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, a third-rank official." Zhao Qingrui briefly talked about this matter.
"Your Majesty is wise." Everyone knew about the Black Ice Platform incident, and they kept it very low-key, so they didn't care much about it.
However, Li Si and the others took a closer look at Dun Ruo. They were very clear about the responsibilities of the Black Ice Platform. This was a power that belonged exclusively to the emperor.
Now it has been renamed Jinyiwei, but it is just a change of name, nothing else has changed.
As for their role, as long as they don't make mistakes, the Jinyiwei will not do much even if they are watching them.
After the Jinyiwei had passed the clear road, Zhao Qingrui began to talk about other things.
As various matters were reported, Zhao Qingrui handled them expressionlessly. This time every day made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, the ceremonial process for welcoming the late emperor has been prepared. Please review it." Shusun Tong presented the ceremonial process.
Zhao Qingrui took it and looked through it. Everything was done according to the best standards. He felt much more satisfied. He really troubled Shusun Tong with this matter.
Throughout the dynasties, there has never been anyone who voluntarily abdicated or became the emperor emeritus. All these procedures needed to be formulated by him personally.
Sometimes, these complicated rituals are still necessary.
"Very good, just prepare according to the process you wrote. If there is anything missing, just tell me." Zhao Qingrui said proudly.
"promise."
"Your Majesty, the Lingqu Canal and all the rivers in the world should be tidied this year. Otherwise, I am worried that there will be accidents when the rainy season comes." Li Yu stood up.
"Okay." Zhao Qingrui agreed immediately. Almost every year, she had people dredge the river and repair the dams everywhere because she was worried about the flood.
"Your Majesty, the princes are ready and will be heading to Lingnan soon. I wonder how the arrangements are going in Lingnan?" Many people in the court were paying attention to the affairs of the princes.
Although the imperial court stipulated the number of people that the princes could bring with them, there were still many people willing to go with them and venture out.
These days, most of the more skilled craftsmen in the Qin Dynasty have been plundered and have become servants of these princes.
Zhao Qingrui had a general idea of what was going on after listening to these reports.
"I have already sent Meng Yang and Wang Li to Lingnan. After everything is ready, they will set off for the Maurya Empire." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.
As the Qin Dynasty was about to conquer the Maurya Empire, all parts of the court began to get busy, especially the dispatch of food and fodder. Zhao Qingrui had already ordered the mobilization of food and fodder from the granaries near Lingnan.
The movements of the army and the imperial court made many small tribes in Lingnan tremble in fear. Although they opposed the Qin Dynasty, they did not dare to confront it openly. They were all well aware of the Qin Dynasty's strength.
Now food and supplies are being mobilized from all over, and there are also many warships. We are about to go to war. We won’t get rid of them all at once, will we?
Thinking of this possibility, they became even more frightened.
Meng Yang and Wang Li met and smiled at each other. They had known each other for so many years and were very familiar with each other.
"Sit down, there are no outsiders here." Wang Li smiled and asked Meng Yang to sit down, and asked someone to bring him some drinks.
There had been no war in the Qin Dynasty for many years, and those guarding the border only occasionally had some interactions with some natives on the border, but they were all just minor skirmishes.
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. The war is finally about to begin. My sword has been unable to hold back any longer." Wang Li smiled and touched the long sword at his waist, feeling deeply moved.
These military generals find it very uncomfortable to be idle after not fighting.
"Yes, I heard that the Ministry of Industry has made some bird guns, which are very powerful. They also sent some over for us to test their power." Meng Yang said excitedly.
The bird gun has been made, and Zhao Qingrui also knew about it, but he did not make it public.
She was well aware of the power of the bird gun.
However, the one made by Daqin now still lacks power, is prone to explosion, and is relatively unstable. It is still under testing and needs to be improved bit by bit.
"I used it and it's really good. It's stronger than a bow and arrow. This thing will definitely replace bows and arrows in the future." Wang Li was also very emotional.
"By the way, His Majesty gave me this when I came here. It's just right for me and General Wang to study it together." As he said that, Meng Yang took out the information about the Macedonian phalanx that Zhao Qingrui gave him.
Although Rome was far away from the Maurya Empire, the Roman Empire was once so powerful. It is unreasonable that the people of the Maurya Empire did not know about such phalanxes. Maybe they even learned some of them.
"This formation is truly exquisite." Wang Li exclaimed while holding the information.
"It is indeed exquisite. An inch longer a weapon is an inch stronger. Their weapons are too long. If it is a close combat, we have no advantage." Meng Yang smiled bitterly.
"Well, that's true. However, this phalanx is not without its shortcomings. It can only exert its greatest advantage on flat ground, and the choice of battlefield must be made with caution." Wang Li said seriously.
"They also have elephant soldiers. When we conquer the Maurya Empire, I must capture all the elephants." Meng Yang said excitedly. Zhao Qingrui only told them what the elephant soldiers were like, what advantages they had, and how to break them.
Even though there are some shortcomings, elephant soldiers are still very useful. When Qin has elephants, he will also try them out.
"How can I give them all to you? What good things are you thinking about?" Wang Li laughed. He was also very interested in those elephant soldiers.
He didn't know how those people tamed the wild elephants. After he got the training methods from them, he also asked people to catch some wild elephants.
