The emperors of the Qin Dynasty were most concerned with pomp and dignity. This was determined by the Legalist theory of "dealing with the situation according to the law." All the Qin kings after Shang Yang knew the importance of "power". While the Qin Dynasty established severe punishments and laws,

, also established a strict hierarchical system, with majestic palaces towering in the sky; high-altitude dragon thrones; majestic and grand and endless ceremonial guards; rituals and music as majestic as the sea that can be heard for hundreds of miles; authority that can slaughter hundreds of miles of city with one sentence.

It is not a concrete manifestation of the Legalist "power". In contrast, the Confucian kings who also stood at the pinnacle of power were not as unscrupulous as King Qin.

Situation means being able to control everything that makes people tremble, such as majesty, power, and the rule of law.

The grandness of the palace only shows the insignificance of the subjects, which further proves that the emperor is aloof and inviolable. This is also a kind of psychological momentum building.

It is already late autumn, everything is desolate and the wind is cold.

The emperor's guard of honor, who had returned from the victory, cheered and supported on the broad official road near Xianyang City. Black flags were fluttering, blocking out the wind and sun; swords, spears and spears were like a forest, airtight, reflecting in the autumn sun.

Thousands of silver lights gathered on the foothills beside the road, roasting the fallen branches and leaves until they were almost smoking. Cars and horses followed one after another, and the chimes were melodious. The cars, horses, and soldiers all held their heads high and looked domineering.

It is so arrogant. From a distance, it looks like a black dragon swimming, meandering and soaring close to the surface, as if it is waiting for an opportunity to move and cause clouds and rain.

The honor guard procession is more than ten miles long, majestic and magnificent. There is a strong atmosphere in the procession, and the flags are connected. The black banners are dyed with the Chinese character "Qin" in Dou Da, and they rustle in the air. The carriages and horses are luxuriously decorated, and the carriages are

The surroundings are all made of fine black brocade bronze, with carved railings and painted pillars, dragons or phoenixes, flying birds or auspicious clouds. Except for the emperor's carriage, each carriage has four tall horses, all of them blue and black, with shiny hair that dazzles the eyes.

The horse's back is draped with colorful silk, with gold, silver and jade hanging on all sides. It makes a clanking sound with every step it takes, making it extremely majestic.

The first half of the team consisted of the emperor, ministers, palace maids, and thousands of personal guards, while the second half consisted of Confucian scholars, warriors, food delivery teams, and cooking teams who accompanied the army.

Wang Zhu absolutely opposed this, because he saw with his own eyes that wherever the team went, there were earth-shaking earthquakes within dozens of miles. Houses collapsed, chickens and dogs jumped, and there was no peace. Hundreds of officials and people were prostrate on the ground and did not dare to look up. It seemed that

A mouse pushed to the ground by a cat. Having said that, the Great Qin Dynasty has long since set. It is no longer the prosperous and tyrannical Great Qin five years ago. It is lingering like a consumptive patient. Is it necessary to pretend to be so ruthless?

If you waste money and people, you will die faster.

However, Wang Zhu soon discovered that the emperor of the Qin Dynasty had no choice but to be restrained. It was not the Confucian scholars or the ancestors who restrained the Qin Emperor, but the Qin Dynasty's harsh punishments and laws. This was a plethora of provisions.

In a society ruled by law, whether you are an emperor or a slave, you must act in accordance with the law. If you are meticulous and cannot bargain, you must act in accordance with the law. That is non-negotiable!

To be exaggerated, Qin's laws even have strict regulations on which leg should be used first when entering and exiting the door; how many decibels can't be reached when talking to people on the street? Even when entering the bridal chamber, the groom must go from left to first.

The one on the right touches the bride - the bride cannot scream, otherwise she will be pulled out and beheaded. If she screams louder, the nine tribes will be killed!

As soon as Wang Zhugang said that he wanted to cancel this kind of pomp, all the ministers' faces turned sallow, as if they were mourning for their heirs: Marquis of Jiancheng, Zhao Hai, Marquis of Wuxin, Feng Wuze, Shangqing and Wang Wu, and other Legalist ministers, immediately knelt down and howled, crying like their own mothers, quoting scriptures.

, impassioned, hitting the wall and rubbing his neck to force him to death, he must take back his life. There is only one reason: "The law cannot be abolished!"

Wang Zhu had just arrived, and he didn't know much about Legalism and Confucianism. He was afraid of missing out, so he didn't dare to argue with them. He had no choice but to succumb to the "power" of Legalism and reluctantly submitted.

The legal system of the Qin Dynasty regarded black as noble and the number six as auspicious.

The banners and axes all have dark red bird patterns. The emperor's chariot is six feet wide, and the crown on his head is six inches wide. The emperor's first step should be six feet. If he steps out seven feet, he is likely to be slapped with the head by the imperial censor.

Hitting the wall and bursting into tears with strong criticism! Of course, no one dared to criticize the eldest brother Qin II until now!

Who the hell is not afraid of death?

Six horses pulled the gold-rooted carriage forward slowly. There was a person sitting on the carriage wearing a dark black Suzaku robe, with a total of twelve jade strings on the front and back of the crown. The gorgeous carriage shook, and the twelve crowns clattered accordingly.

There was a sound, as if the bamboo curtain was lifted up with his hands. Whenever this happened, Wang Zhu's vision was blurred, and there were little stars in front of his eyes, and he felt like motion sickness. Wang Zhu thought to himself, the emperors in ancient times really ate too much, and this

Aren't you looking for a disease for yourself? If an assassin comes, you won't even be able to see the knife clearly. At the same time, Wang Zhu also realized that the value of this car will far exceed that of the latest 'Ferrari sports car'.

The team marched westward, facing the bloody sunset. The black wheels made a "squeaking" sound as usual, rolling over the flat road like an asphalt road. The black queue advanced in an orderly manner, and the black horses formed formations.

Neighing. Looking at the brilliant and picturesque sunset, everything in the team is black. The blackness makes people feel a sense of solemnity, tension, fear and terror.

Qin Shihuang was a loyal "fan" of black. He believed that black can dissolve and dissolve all colors. Black can drown everything and cover everything. Black evokes solemnity and awe. Black symbolizes tragic death!

This is the evening of Shaoxia!

The setting sun is setting, and the colorful clouds are like the red sword light waved by the gods, and like the waving sleeves and colorful clothes of the Nine Heavens Xuanzang. The red color penetrates half of the sky and is majestic. The mountains are turning red; the rivers are turning red; the trees are turning red.

Turning red; people are turning red. In the vast red light, the black flag is trembling, the black chariot is crushing, and the black horse is neighing and roaring. If red is a river, then black is like a dragon that can drink up to three rivers. If

The red is like fire and the black is like dark clouds rolling in the sky, with the momentum of heavy rain pouring out of control.

The fate of the entire Qin Dynasty was similar to that of Che Yu at this time!

Just when he was unstoppably devouring the world and beating the world with sharp blades and whips, suddenly, in the vast forest and between the mountain roads, a huge thunder exploded, followed by flying sand and rocks, violent storms fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the sky became dark.

, the flag was broken, the car overturned, the horse neighed and people shouted, the majesty was wiped out——

Chen Sheng is the thunder, and Xiang Yu's Chu army is the violent storm!

The sunset is like blood!

After escaping the storm, Wang Wan came to report that Xianyang was not far away.

Through the curtains of the carriage, Wang Zhu saw the skinny people in front of him, who were staggering when walking, staggering with hunger, and could be blown away by a gust of wind. He kept complaining in his heart: "If this continues, the Qin Dynasty will definitely be doomed. I, the emperor, will definitely die."

Hundreds of jobs lost!”

The capital of Qin State, Xianyang, is located to the west of the intersection of Jingshui River and Weishui River. Because it is located in the south of Jiuyi Mountain and the north of Weishui River, in the sun of mountains and rivers, it is named Xianyang. Since Qin Xiaogong moved the capital here in the 12th year, six

It has been built many times over the centuries, and now it is a thoroughfare with connected city houses and splendid palaces. The city has layers of high platforms, numerous pavilions, and winding lanes. The Wei River is mighty and fierce in the south of the city; the Jing River has many tributaries in the north of the city, flowing thousands of miles away.

With its head resting on the sound of two rivers and its feet on the Guanzhong Plain, Xianyang City is majestic and majestic. Going south threatens Jingxiang, and going north goes straight into the Three Jin Dynasties. It can also be said conversely that Jingxiang threatens the south of the city and the Three Jins threaten the north.

From the moment the carriage entered the city, Wang Zhu lifted up a gap in the curtains of the carriage and looked out.

Xianyang is indeed the leading international metropolis in the world today. It has a huge population! However, these people were kneeling on the roadside and shaking all over. Not even one dared to gasp loudly, which made Wang Zhu feel extremely disappointed. He wanted to see what ancient times

How different is our society from that of the 21st century? It’s over now, no one dares to speak, and no one dares to raise their head, it’s a waste of time!

Wang Zhu returned to Wangyi Palace and immediately summoned the young master Ying who was staying in Xianyang and a group of ministers for an emergency imperial meeting. The theme of the meeting was nothing more than recruiting troops, transporting food, and raising wages.

Meng Duo had returned from Hetao the day before yesterday and brought back a pitiful 15,000 cavalry. There was no way, the Huns knew about the chaos in the Qin Dynasty and wanted to take the opportunity to enter the colorful world of the Central Plains to get a share of the pie. The Xiongnu dan Yu Touman personally commanded 80,000 cavalry.

Stationed in the south of Yinshan Mountain, with his son Maodun as the vanguard, he directly threatened the two counties of Jiuyuan and Yunzhong outside the Hetao. Duan He, the general of the Qin Dynasty who was stationed in the Hetao, saw the chaos in the Central Plains, the critical situation, and the lack of supplies in the rear, so he did not dare to send troops hastily.

To attack the enemy, we had to adopt the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, forcibly moving the population and livestock outside Yunzhong into the Great Wall, and relying on the Yanmen Pass to stop Touman. Duanhe was a famous general during the Qin Shihuang period. He was in his forties, not considered to be young and powerful, nor was he powerful.

He is considered too old. He is familiar with the art of war and is agile in using troops. He is not as good as the Meng family and the Wang family, but not inferior to Zhang Han. In his memorial to Wang Zhu, Duanhe confidently asked Wang Zhu to focus on the situation in the pass and not to worry.

Touman, this old bastard.

Duanhe, who has been guarding the border for many years, has known the Huns, and he knows even better what kind of person Toumandan is. "A person who is lustful, greedy, unambitious, rough and without a plan is nothing to worry about." Duanhe is sure that as long as he sticks to the Great Wall,

Yue, Touman cannot carry out robbery outside the customs. At that time, food and grass are scarce and there is no profit, so he will definitely withdraw automatically. Don't pay attention to him, the more you pay attention to him, the worse he will become.

Wang Zhu knew that the Xiongnu's string-controlled cavalry warriors were difficult to deal with. They marched and fought with lightning speed. The cavalry dispersed like a strong wind, and the arrows came out like a pouring rain. They were also cruel and took pleasure in killing people. There were only a few cavalrymen in the Central Plains.

In addition, the skills of riding and archery are far inferior to those of warriors who control strings. They have fought many times, but have been defeated repeatedly. So far, the only generals who can confront the Huns head-on are Li Mu of Zhao State and Meng Tian. Duan of Qin State.

He's tactic seems to be very advisable at this time. He immediately issued a death order, ordering Duan He to guard Yanmen Pass and not to send a single soldier out of the city.

In the evening when Wang Zhu returned to Xianyang, Meng Duo ordered his cavalry to rush to Hangu Pass first. Wang Zhu was here to handle some matters and would arrive soon after.

"Your Majesty, most of the imperial soldiers and horses have been killed by the thug Xiang Yu. The remaining soldiers and horses in counties and counties have either turned against each other or been wiped out by rebels from all over the country. The rebellion has spread to thirty-six counties in the Qin Dynasty. In addition to Neishi County,

Outside of Shang County, Shu County, Hanzhong County, Beidi County, and Longxi County, Great Qin no longer has troops to mobilize." Young Master Ying raised his head, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead: "Your Majesty has been on the expedition for the past few days.

I have issued an order in the name of the Prime Minister to mobilize soldiers and horses from five counties to Xianyang. According to a rough calculation, we can get about 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers. I am afraid that these places may have second thoughts and defect in front of the battle——"

Wang Zhu was confused by this list of counties. Where is the imperial county, Longxi County? Wang Zhu questioned: "There are obviously six counties. How can you recruit soldiers and horses from five counties, Master Ying?"

Young Master Ying said in astonishment, "Neishi County has no troops left." Wang Zhu was furious: "Has the guard of Neishi County betrayed the imperial court? What is his name, this rebellious traitor? I will kill his whole family.

.”

Young Master Ying was horrified: "Your Majesty, why did you kill my whole family? I am loyal. Your Majesty - I am loyal to the Qin Dynasty. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please have mercy!" His face turned pale and he cried bitterly.

"Hula hula" the ministers below fell to their knees. "Your Majesty, have mercy, Your Majesty, have mercy -"

"Wait a minute -" Wang Zhu shouted with a red face and a thick neck; "I didn't say I wanted to kill you, why are you crying in mourning?"

"His Majesty clearly said that he wanted to kill the governor of Neishi County?" Young Master Ying was very excited.

Wang Zhu coughed, turned his head and lowered his voice and asked Zhang Xi quietly: "Where is Neishi County?" Zhang Xi's eyes showed the horror of seeing a ghost during the day, and said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty - Xianyang is Neishi County.

Shijun——"

Wang Zhu couldn't help but slapped himself twice, thinking, I'm so confused, how could I have forgotten this matter. The civil and military officials in the court were so frightened that they cried for their fathers and mothers, and there were fourteen or five people who were incontinent.

"Your Majesty - Your Majesty, what's wrong with you - are you okay? Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body!" Zhang Xi shivered like a kitten that had just been fished out of a hole in the ice.

"It's okay, it's okay." Wang Zhu stopped the ministers' greetings and said: "I'm very fine. I was just too tired from fighting a few days ago. I missed the difficulties of the First Emperor's business and was a little confused, so I said the wrong thing. I want to

I apologize to Gong Ziying for scaring you, it was a misunderstanding!"

This frightened the ministers again. Why did the emperor suddenly care about his father? The first emperor, who had been dead for three years, would have cried loudly if there was a spirit underground. The emperor was most afraid that he would suddenly have a whim and expand the Afang Palace.

'That's bad! Although the enemy is at hand, the fatuous Qin II can do such ridiculous things.

What Wang Zhu said next made everyone's hearts, which were already in their throats, stop beating.

"So I decided to go to the Ancestral Temple tomorrow to offer sacrifices to my ancestors. Let them bless the prosperity of our country and the peace and prosperity of our country." I added in my mind that it would be best to protect all the rebels from being killed by my subordinates.

Wang Zhu wanted to take this opportunity to shape his own image and arouse the enthusiasm of the people of Qinchuan to resist Chu. As everyone knows, the people kneeling below all had one thought: It's over, His Majesty must be plotting against Afang Palace.

Already.

The Ancestral Temple is right in the center of Afang Palace! "

Wang Zhu didn't know what these old guys were thinking, but Jun Wu joked and kept his word. The next day, he ordered the ministers to gather together, line up the carriages, and go to the Ancestral Temple.

Wang Zhu hasn’t seen Afang Palace yet!

Epang Palace is three hundred miles away, and the entire building is as majestic as the Lingxiao Palace. There are more than 700 large and small palaces. Before Qin Shihuang died, he would live in a different palace every day, and in the end he couldn't finish it. The Ligong Villa, the Jade Belt and the Golden Bridge, Bibi

All of them make people dizzy and dizzy.

Wang Zhu led his ministers into the Epang Palace on foot. Ten carriages could drive in abreast, and three helicopters could fly past the rosewood palace gate inlaid with pearl agate.

Walking forward on a corridor paved with beautiful jade mined from the Kunlun Mountains and reflecting human figures from the Hotan generation in the Western Regions. On both sides of the corridor, palaces, academies, pavilions and pavilions stand side by side, splendid and brilliant. In particular, the six buildings standing side by side have their own characteristics.

Under the sunlight, the golden palace shines brightly, majestic and indescribably magnificent.

The words "Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei" are written on the six branch halls respectively.

After more than ten days of hard work, Wang Zhu was still able to recognize these characters.

How come the palaces of the Six Kingdoms were built in Xianyang?

When Wang Zhu was suspicious, Zhang Xi ran over and said like a tour guide: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty. The First Emperor was a man of great talent and sagacity. He was the only emperor through the ages. He chopped bamboo with the power of a sharp ax, just like a tiger trampling a flock of sheep.

Destroy the six kingdoms. In order to record the prosperous times of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, every time a country was conquered, millions of craftsmen were specially recruited to imitate the palace and system of that country in the Epang Palace. Now that the six kingdoms have been wiped out, Qi State Linzi,

The palaces of Yingcheng, the capital of Chu, Jicheng, the capital of Yan, Jinyang, the capital of Zhao, Yangzhai, the capital of Han, and Daliang, the capital of Wei, all stand here. From the Yongmen Gate of Afang Palace to the intersection of Jingshui River and Weishui River, it shows that our great Qin Dynasty has nothing to lose.

The super strong national power and the unparalleled achievements of the First Emperor."

As soon as Zhang Xi said this, he reminded the accompanying general Li Xin that Li Xin had been depressed for the past two days! He had a stinky face all the way back from Wuguan, and he would roll his eyes and ignore anyone who spoke to him.

. Everyone didn’t know why, they thought he was on his period! Only Wang Zhu understood his mood. Wang Zhu appointed Wang Ben as the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Qin State, but he was not convinced!

Li Xin had an idea and took two steps forward: "Your Majesty, I have thought of a clever plan to recruit soldiers." Wang Zhu suddenly stopped. There was no better news than this at the moment.

"Old General, what solution have you come up with?"

Li Xinxin thought, he has to rely on me at the critical moment, and the eldest nephew is not good at all. He coughed twice and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the First Emperor pacified the Six Kingdoms back then. In order to enrich Guanzhong and prevent the remnants of the Six Kingdoms from causing chaos, he once

150,000 families moved to Xianyang from the middle of the country. These people are all the leading wealthy businessmen and powerful local tyrants. Each family has a fortune of hundreds of millions, a mountain of cakes, and hundreds of slaves. The rice at home is piled up in the warehouse, moldy and rotten.

They can’t finish all the food; the tall horses in the stables eat well and are fat and strong. Your Majesty - why don’t you take some ideas from these people?”
Chapter completed!
