Chapter 490 Qingming, sacrifice to heaven
On the second day of the third month of the 24th year of Emperor Shihuang, the qi is clear and the scenery is bright, and all things are revealed, which is Qingming.
On this day, with Xianyang as the center, a Qinchuan area of 800 miles in a radius of 800 miles, six million people and 300,000 troops, all mobilized them to do their duty. For a moment, they fell into an inexplicable static state in the vast Guanzhong world.
Because today is the time for His Majesty the Emperor and Qin to hold sacrifices to heaven.
On this day, 800 miles of Qinchuan, all 365 altars were opened. Around each altar were the Qin army soldiers responsible for garrisoning, and the people gathered in 365 areas with the altar as the center.
At the foot of Mount Li, flags were waving, armored soldiers were everywhere, and 100,000 elite soldiers were arranged here. For a time, among the green mountains and blue, there was a black ocean.
At this moment, people and mountains are perfectly integrated.
Above the main peak of Mount Li, a towering altar that seems to be entering the sky. The tripods of the Nine Provinces are lined up in the sun, reflecting an inexplicable light.
On the left side of the altar is a row of positions, which are prepared for the civil officials of Qin, and on the right side, there is another row of positions prepared for the military generals.
As for the altar, among the ninety-nine steps, it is divided into three areas, where people belong to the royal family.
As time goes by, it is approaching dusk.
"Master, shouldn't the sacrifice to heaven be in the daytime? Why is it already dusk and hasn't started yet?" In a separate hall at the foot of Mount Li, a woman asked a man with a feminine and almost weird appearance in front of her.
"I have to wait for the time when the stars appear." The man said.
He was Zhao Gao, the grand servant of Qin, and was ranked among the nine ministers and was in charge of Luowang.
The woman who spoke to him was Zhao Gao's confidant disciple trained by Luowang. He was the first-class killer of Luowang. He took Han as his surname and the nameless man only took Chi Lian as his name.
If someone from Xianyang Palace did this, he would definitely find that this woman who called Zhao Gao the master had five points similar to Honglian, and the eyebrows were exactly the same as Honglian. However, compared to Honglian's plumpness, the woman's face was three points thinner, but this did not reduce her beauty.
Although there is no Honglian's style that combines purity and charm, it brings the charming aura to the extreme.
The reason why she has five points similar to Honglian, who is the emperor's favorite concubine is that her Han and Honglian, and Han Fei's Han is the same character Han.
She is also from the Korean royal family, and she is the youngest sister of Han Fei and Honglian.
However, she does not have the luck of Honglian and Han Fei.
Before Xinzheng City was broken, Han An, who was still the King of Han, sent her, who was only eight years old, to win over the then general Ji Wuye to win over.
That was a kind of sorrow.
However, there was still a trace of luck in front of the sadness, because there was no need for Han An to win over Ji Wuye. Ji Wuye had already prepared to surrender, so she was presented to Qin by Ji Wuye.
As for the subsequent story, Zhao Gao used his power to turn him into a Luowang person. Now, the little princess of that year has become the first-class killer of Luowang's character, code-named Chilian, and replaced Jingyu, who is no longer controlled by Luowang.
"Is that still sacrifice to the sky?" Chi Lian asked in confusion.
"Isn't the sky at night not the sky?" Zhao Gao asked back.
"Yes, but it's still a little strange." Chi Lian said.
"It's a pity, you don't know what kind of opportunity you missed." Zhao Gao said.
"Opportunity? Did Master say sacrifice to heaven?" Chi Lian asked.
"Yes, you had the opportunity to appear at the core of the altar to your sister and brother, instead of being a member of the periphery under my arrangement." Zhao Gao said.
"I think it's good now." Chi Lian said disrespectfully.
She used to have the opportunity to enter Xianyang Palace. After all, her sister Honglian was there and she had a good status. However, she didn't want to be like that. Not everyone likes places like Xianyang Palace.
Her childhood experience has told Chi Lian that nothing in this world is reliable except herself. She will never control her destiny as much as she was when she was young.
"Ignorance and stubbornness." Zhao Gao said sinisterly.
Chi Lian didn't care about this.
Yongcheng at the same time, the former capital of Qin and the location of Qin's ancestral temple, can be said to be only after Xianyang.
Such an important city naturally has its own altar, and it is one of the most core altars. Here, a new army of Qin was stationed in the most elite.
The young army recruited three years ago, although it has not really experienced war in three years of training, it is already comparable to the elite legion of the Qin State.
Because of its strength, this new army is responsible for the western Qinchuan area centered on Yongcheng.
There were 3,000 new troops stationed around the altar of Yongcheng.
"Captain of thousands of men, it's time almost." A young soldier asked the boss in front of him in a row of Qin troops.
"If it's too soon, what you're doing now will be enough to implement your military law." said the same young commander.
"That's why I have to ask the commander of the thousand men. If I don't notice the time and speak during the time of the ban, wouldn't it be a tragedy?" the young man said innocently.
"Zhou Bo, don't be too curious, that's going to kill people." said the Qianhou.
"It should be no problem. Isn't this the commander of a thousand men following me?" Zhou Bo said with a smile.
He came from Pei County, Sishui County. He was one of the three teenagers selected from Pei County when the Qin State formed a new army three years ago. The person in front of him was another of the three teenagers, with the surname dragon and the name of Ji.
Of course, there is another identity in Long Qi, an identity that only five people in the world know about besides him.
He came from the Xiang clan. He was appointed by Xiang Liang, the leader of the Xiang clan, to join the Qin New Army three years ago to explore the development and reality of the Qin army.
Unfortunately, Xiang Yan's task was to keep him as low-key as possible and not attract the attention of the senior Qin army leaders, so as not to be defeated by him. However, many times, talent is difficult to hide, not to mention that Long Qi's personality is really not low-key, so three years later, he has become one of the 30 thousand new troops of the Qin State.
"Military law does not pay attention to these things." Long Qi recovered from distant memories.
"Then it seems I have to be careful." Zhou Bo said with a righteous expression.
"There is still a quarter of an hour, and in a quarter of an hour, I must not say another word." Long Qi said.
"Yes." Zhou Bo replied, but he stopped saying anything more.
Sacrifice to the sky, what exactly does the emperor want to do? Seeing Zhou Bo quiet, Long Qi looked at the altar, which was very high and very large. What else was there?
Why did the emperor set up an altar here when he worshiped the sky in Mount Li? At that time, wouldn’t it be an empty altar?
