Chapter 809: Central Capital (Part 2)
Speaking of Zhongdu, it has a very famous reputation in the history of the Qin Dynasty, because Zhongdu is the founding capital of the Great Qin Empire. It was the first capital established by Taizu of Daqin after the establishment of the Great Qin Dynasty. The four capitals behind the southeast, west and northeast were built in order to strengthen their rule in the future, considering that the territory was too vast. Therefore, from the perspective of geographical location and Feng Shui, these were the best places in the world at that time. Think about it, the Taizu of Daqin, who was able to force the cultivation world to escape from the mortal world and focus on the secret realm, was a very awesome person. The residence city he built for himself and the imperial capital he built to control this huge empire were the best in any aspect.
Unfortunately, after Taizu inexplicably unified the empire for more than ten years, the second emperor, Taizong, began to build the capital in four important locations in the empire territory. After the five capitals took turns to live, Zhongdu inevitably fell directly from the world's only emperor to the five capitals coexisting. The decline in status, the existence of the five capitals, and naturally inevitably weakened Zhongdu's sense of existence and economic, military and political strength. It can be said that the resources that it enjoyed were previously shared by the five capitals.
Well, here I would like to explain the strangeness of the royal family of the Great Qin, that is, Taizu of the Great Qin, is a very awesome figure who can force the entire cultivation world to obey and hide in the secret realm and no longer arrogant in the mortal world. Logically speaking, such a person is the most trashy, and with such a huge strength, not to mention living for thousands of years, at least three or two hundred years is not a problem. But such a person died in just ten years after becoming the supreme emperor!
Some people may say that this guy left the mortal world by pretending to die and hid in the dark to protect the Qin Dynasty. However, when Emperor Taizu passed away, not only the garrison generals from various prefectures and governors from all over the country, but also the powerful ministers of the imperial capital came to pay tribute to the remains. Even the geniuses of various sects who were suppressed back to the cultivation world also appeared in the mortal world to attend the emperor's funeral. If the emperor had pretended to die, he would never have been able to hide so many powerful monks! This is also because after Mao's death, the provincial generals of the province began to act carelessly, because they believed that the intimidating Taizu really died. Otherwise, if Taizu had pretended to die, the Qin Dynasty would not have become like this.
There are many strange things in the Qin royal family. The most strange thing is that Taizu, who is strong and powerful, died naturally. Taizong, a wise and powerful emperor who firmly controls the empire in his hands. When he was about to expand the territory of the empire again, he died naturally, making the external expansion silently. What is even more strange is that Taizu gave birth to more than ten sons, and this prince only gave birth to Emperor Taizong after a fight.
As for Taizong, he gave birth to five sons. It was only after a battle between dragons and tigers that he decided to decide the third emperor. This third emperor could not expand outside, and could only ensure that the royal family and the court had already had awesome control over the five imperial capitals. During this period, the provincial governors and county magistrates below had begun to vaguely obey the central government's orders.
As for the third emperor, he had only two sons. And the age difference was too big, and there was no difficulty. The older prince ascended the throne as emperor. When he arrived at this fourth emperor, although he could still ensure the control of the five imperial capitals, the local area had completely listened to the tune and refused to listen to the announcement, which was worse than his father. You should know that during the third emperor period, in addition to the five imperial capitals, several other states were willing to obey orders.
This fourth emperor not only had hardships in government affairs, but also had a lot of children. There were thousands of beauties in the harem, but there were only one hair. Not to mention the prince, there was not even a princess! So after his death, the throne was passed on to his younger brother naturally.
The younger brother of this four-generation emperor, who became the fifth emperor of the Qin Dynasty, was also a hard-working person. He ascended the throne at the age of sixteen and died at the age of eighteen, and no one left behind. The orthodox royal family was considered a heir, so he had to choose the emperor's candidates from the bloodlines of the second generation princes. After this investigation, it can be said that everyone can see from each other. Logically, Taizu left more than ten princes and more than a dozen bloodlines passed down. How could there be hundreds of candidates of the age-appropriate bloodlines of the royal family?
But the result was a bit cold, because more than a dozen princes actually left nine families, and the remaining families had several one-line and one family had two bloodlines. Although it shocked the weakness of the royal family's bloodline, one of the royal family's children with two bloodlines was naturally lucky to be selected as the sixth Emperor of the Qin Dynasty.
The sixth emperor was very successful, and he left behind two blood princes. The seventh one was pretty good. How could he have a legitimate son appear? Just when everyone thought that although the royal bloodline was so small, it could be passed down, the eighth emperor was miserable again. He ascended the throne at the age of thirteen and died at the age of thirty-five. Fortunately, he had been the emperor for more than 20 years and chose a son to be the crown prince in the royal family, which did not cause any turmoil in the empire again.
When he arrived at the ninth emperor, he was unwilling to leave no blood, ignored all major national affairs, and focused on getting women to give birth to sons in the harem, and even sent eunuchs to search for women who were suitable for childbirth throughout the world. In order to give birth to blood, he even found a woman who had given birth to several sons and pulled them into the harem without any worries. However, the ninth emperor had been crazy for almost ten years, but none of his offspring was born, and he died directly after taking an overdose of pills.
The tenth emperor selected from the royal family again was shrewd. He paid a lot of money to seek advice from the sect in the cultivation world. He didn't know what the cost was spent. Finally, he asked the sect to take out the best aphrodisiac pills and send the best monks to secretly help the emperor to take care of his body and help select women. However, this sect used various secret techniques, and even eunuchs or eunuchs could restore the function of a normal man, but he still could not give the tenth emperor a child. However, this tenth emperor was the longest, and he had been the emperor for fifty years. Although he did not leave any descendants, he brought vitality to the end of the royal family. After fifty years of reign, the male members of the royal family were raised to more than 200. In addition, the old, middle-aged, young and young were very well matched, and almost every lineage had an heir.
Just when everyone thought that even if the emperor had no blood, he could increase the bloodline of the royal family and ensure the bloodline of the Qin royal family, the eleventh emperor began to be in trouble again. He also learned the posture of the tenth emperor and secretly hired the Cultivation Sect to help. After he could not get the bloodline, he also learned the means of becoming the emperor and sent monks to secretly help his relatives. But this time he was not as lucky as the emperor. No matter what means the monk used, during the eleventh emperor's reign, only one new male was born in the royal family during the period of more than ten years of reign.
As soon as this happened, the entire royal family became panicked. Of course, the only newborn baby was the twelfth emperor for granted. However, no matter how the entire royal family looked for a solution, since the eleven emperors, there was only one new male born in each generation of royal family. This kind of miserable thing not only allowed the entire royal family to completely unite and completely lose the ambition to fight for the throne, but also made the population of the royal family smaller and smaller. If it weren't for the populace of the royal family who had erupted for a period of time, I'm afraid the Qin royal family would have been extinct long ago and would have spread to this day.
But after the 23rd emperor, the strange fate of this royal family finally collapsed. Now, there is no male person except the emperor who is lying on the hospital bed and waiting to die. Yes, there is no male person in the seventies and eighties, and there is no newborn baby, let alone young and strong. The whole royal family is left with three or two poor princesses. In addition to their own difficulties in offspring, the royal family also has to be implicated in their daughters. However, no royal women have married out of their marriage. This makes the royal women directly follow the miserable, and most of them become monks and nuns directly. Only a very small number of them marry into those powerful families. However, because these royal women have not been given birth, they naturally cannot win over these powerful families for the royal family. It is amazing that when they are reborn, the powerful family stands on the side of the royal family. Once they die, these families will naturally do whatever they want.
In addition to these two strange places, the royal family of the Qin Dynasty had another even more strange situation, that is, the tombs of Taizu of Daqin were only in Zhongdu. Since Taizong of Daqin, the tombs of the previous emperors were built in the other four capitals. This situation of not being buried by Taizu and leaving Taizu alone has never happened in history, because this only happens in a lifetime dynasty.
Shen Fei naturally knew about the royal family and the royal family. Even though he was a slut before, he could not get in touch with these secrets, since Shen Fei's Black Lotus power controlled the southwest and showed a trend of unifying the world, various retired and retired officials have been constantly coming to offer these Qin secrets to Shen Fei, not to mention that Shen Fei has now unified the world. All the secrets that are only in the minds of a few people have been learned about for various reasons.
However, Shen Fei didn't care about these things. What he cared about was why Taizu of the Qin Dynasty set the imperial capital at Zhongdu. Because from the ground, the so-called Zhongdu is not the central position of the world. Only from the perspective of the entire planet, Zhongdu is the central position of the planet. This alone made Shen Fei very curious. He knew that he knew the hugeness of this planet through warships that could fly out of space. It was also through the help of the intelligent brain that Zhongdu knew that Zhongdu was the center of this planet. So how did Taizu of the Qin Dynasty know? You must know that even the powerful people in the cultivation world now only know that the world is not only a country, Daqin, and they don't know how vast this world is.
With this feeling, Shen Fei's spacecraft officially landed in the vast square in front of Zhongdu Palace.
