The patter of rain seemed to be mixed into the air.
There was a special kind of quietness in the study room. After noon, Zhao Huaizhong came to the window with nothing to do and stared at the rain curtain outside.
In front of the main hall of Xianyang is a wide square, paved with blue chalcedony immortal bricks, and neatly organized, with two rows of jade pillars erected like guards, with dense incantations engraved on them, forming a defense system.
There are many palaces on both sides of the square, hazy in the mist and rain.
Li Si, who also holds the position of internal historian, is currently writing in one of the side halls dedicated to handling various official affairs for the three gongs and nine ministers.
His seal script was praised as a once-in-a-millennium calligraphy work by later generations, and he was a rare calligrapher in the entire Chinese history.
Li Si was responsible for organizing, transcribing and writing the ‘textbooks’ for the princes, princesses and clan members of the Qin Dynasty.
A chamberlain walked in from the door with brisk steps, holding a scroll in his hand, and said respectfully:
"Li Neishi, the list of newly promoted chamberlains and their self-report documents have been sent over. Lord Meng has stamped them with the official seal, and I would like to ask the Neishi to review them."
After replacing the former Xianyang Palace with the Kunlun Heavenly Palace, the palace area was greatly increased, and the number of manpower and maids in the palace also increased accordingly.
The personnel entering the palace must be reviewed at all levels. Meng Yi, who is in charge of internal and external affairs in Xianyang, must first read it, and then send it to Li Si for another look.
The third step is to take it to Liu Qi, the head of the chamberlain.
After multiple screenings, passing five levels and killing six generals, you can finally enter the palace.
At this time, the chamberlain sent a list of people who had been screened by Meng Yi and successfully passed the first level.
Li Si put down his pen, took the volume handed over by the chamberlain, and opened it to check.
A document placed at the top of the volume made Li Si's eyes narrow.
It was an internal examination paper for those who entered the palace, which was equivalent to the political examination of later generations and required the person under examination to self-report.
Li Si was attracted to the scroll at first sight because of its excellent handwriting.
The font is Qin Zhuan, which is called Dazhuan in later generations. The handwriting is fair, penetrating through the back of the paper, and has profound skills.
Li Si is a master of calligraphy, so he had a good impression of this paper.
After reading what the other party said, he nodded secretly.
The other party is from a Qin clan, which means there is no problem with his identity. Not only is his handwriting good, but he also states that he is proficient in the law and is a talented person.
After Li Si read it, he felt that it was a pity that the other party was serving as a servant in the palace. He was proficient in Qin laws and judging from his handwriting and wording, he could become an official.
However, it is written in the scroll that the other party has a hidden illness and entering the palace as a chamberlain is the best way out.
Li Si glanced at the name signed at the end. He was from a clan and had the same surname as His Majesty.
Recruiting people to the palace was no small matter. Li Si also carefully reviewed other documents, some passed, and some were screened out.
After he finished reading, the document was taken away by the chamberlain, and he went all the way to the main hall, where he was told to give it to Liu Qi.
Liu Qi was waiting at the door of the study, his ears erect like a rabbit, waiting to hear Zhao Huaizhong calling him at any time.
A chamberlain came over and handed him the document Li Si had read just now.
Liu Qi quickly read through the scrolls, and like Li Si, he fell in love with the first scroll at first sight.
The signature at the end of this scroll contains the name of the other party, who is twenty-six years old this year.
Liu Qi glanced at it twice and put the scroll into his sleeve.
It is inconvenient to take a closer look at this time, lest Zhao Huaizhong call and delay things.
He planned to work overtime during his evening break and read all the papers.
Zhao Huaizhong happened to have nothing to do at the window of the study. Hearing that the palace was recruiting a new group of servants, he casually asked: "Liu Qi, are the palace recruiting people?"
Liu Qi bowed and said, "Yes, there are over a thousand courtyard houses in the palace, and many courtyards are short of manpower.
I reported to the Queen and decided to recruit some people into the palace. Empress Jiang said that Your Majesty likes to be simple, so she did not dare to recruit more people. This time, she only recruited more than 120 internal servants, and there were slightly more female maids in each courtyard, about 240 people.
According to statistics, a total of 360 people will be divided into four batches to enter the palace.
At present, only the first batch of more than 80 people have been screened out."
Jiang Shu is the empress of Qin Dynasty, and all matters in the palace must be approved by her.
"Who are these people? Show them to me."
Liu Qi quickly took out the volume he had received from his sleeve and placed it respectfully on the low mat.
Tsk... Zhao Huaizhong saw the scroll at the top, where the signature was, Zhao Gao!
I thought that Zhao Gao was blown away by the butterfly's wings, but he was still there.
Liu Qi had a good memory. He glanced at the document just now and remembered Zhao Gao's origin. He said on the side: "This person is a branch of my Da Qin clan. He is a bit old and is not among the people who entered the palace.
However, he was born to be a recluse, so he was quite suitable to be a chamberlain.
Mr. Li and Mr. Meng both agreed that he should be the first among those chosen to enter the palace this time. His name is Zhao Gao, who not only knows the laws of Qin, but also knows the art of war and has a delicate mind."
Hidden Palace means Heavenly Eunuch.
Those who are born with no male characteristics and only have a layer of silkworm cocoon with no actual content inside are commonly known as intersex people and are indeed suitable for entering the palace.
Zhao Gao wanted to enter the palace, but he was throwing himself into a trap... Zhao Huaizhong smiled.
When people come, I will take a good look at what kind of Zhao Gao is in this world.
In a certain house in Xianyang, Zhao Gao, who was twenty-six years old, thin, fair-skinned, and slightly elongated cheeks, shivered inexplicably. He had no idea that he was being taken care of by the Lord of Qin, and that he was about to start a miserable life.
A new chapter in life.
In the afternoon, Zhao Huaizhong left Xianyang Palace.
The raindrops pattered under the eaves of the verandah, like beads on a string.
In a viewing pool in the palace, an old turtle poked its head out from under a lotus leaf, holding a small silvery fish in its mouth, and a toad squatting on the lotus leaf, with big eyes and small eyes.
When Zhao Huaizhong passed by, he glanced at the old turtle under the lotus leaf and laughed dumbly.
Since the heavenly palace on his back was lifted, this old turtle returned to Xianyang and began to let himself go and fish everywhere in the palace.
Lu Buwei and others specially collected a rare snowy sound fish sent to flatter him, and put it in the pond of Qin Palace for viewing, but it was almost eaten by the old turtle.
This guy is a turtle who loves seafood.
Zhao Huaizhong left Xianyang Palace and came to Jiufang Mountain.
In today's Jiufang Mountain, the population of Chinensis bees has expanded, and a huge hive hangs diagonally on the cliff of a mountain.
Chinensis bees picked peaches and many spiritual plants from the Jiufang Yam Garden, pollinated them and made honey. They grew rapidly and multiplied and expanded their population in a short period of time.
Those celestial silkworms, fed on the leaves of the innate spiritual tree, also grew white and fat, and had begun to spin silk.
"Follow me for a walk."
Zhao Huaizhong couldn't help but pull Mu Yangjing, who was wearing a light apricot dress, away from Jiufang Mountain.
Soon after, Zhao Huaizhong and Mu Yangjing, who had changed into casual clothes, appeared in Tianyu City.
"Why are you here?" Mu Yangjing looked at the tense streets in the city.
"Someone from Tianyu City gave me a gift, so I came over to check on the situation." Zhao Huaizhong responded.
At this time, the entire city's defenses were wide open, forming a hemispherical mana barrier.
High in the sky, you can vaguely see the flying monsters, they are the monster spies who came to investigate.
The atmosphere in the city is tense. The demon tribe has launched two attacks on the city, but they have not yet broken through the city.
Heaven.
The damaged main hall has been restored. On the throne in the center of the hall, sits the murderous Lord of Heaven, wearing armor and stomach.
There was a Kyushu scroll hanging in front of him.
Next to the Kyushu scroll is the book from the ground.
After the Book of the Earth was jointly refined by Zhao Huaizhong using the Soul-Educing Pen, its Qi increased and returned to Heaven, and its integration with the Jiuzhou Scroll was obviously accelerating.
At this time, the Nine Provinces Scroll was pushed by the magic power of the Lord of Heaven, showing some changes in the world of human and underworld.
In the picture, in a certain city in the northwest of the human world, a sword light pierced the sky, almost splitting the entire city in half.
The strong man of the Yuezhi clan was cut down by the sword and died instantly.
A slender middle-aged man stood on the condensed sword energy, and behind him was a row of halos evolved from the sword energy, like a peacock spreading its tail.
This man was wearing a blue robe, carrying it with one hand on his back, and looked like an elder. He was Mu Qianshui.
He led his Ye Yufu tribe to raid the Yuezhi, killing the Yuezhi's strong men in succession, and was currently advancing towards the Yuezhi's hinterland.
The picture of Kyushu Scroll changes and shows the scene of the underworld.
In the city of ruins, the ancient Beiyin Emperor's Palace is located.
The princes from all over the underworld mobilized their troops and generals to gather in the city of ruins from all directions. It was like Zhao Huaizhong who climbed up and called out, and there were like clouds of followers.
The combined army of various princes will be led by Bai Qi, who will raise troops to attack other princes and complete the unification of the underworld.
"Then Emperor Qin took advantage of my heavenly tribe to try his best to resist the demon clan, and tried to unify the Yin and human worlds. It is really hateful."
The Lord of Heaven looked at Dong Lian, who was standing not far away with his head bowed: "What does Mr. Dong think of this matter?"
Ever since Dong Lian saw Zhao Huaizhong beating King Ziwei violently, he was very afraid of Zhao Huaizhong and felt worried, but he didn't want to say anything.
At present, Zhao Huaizhong has the positions of Emperor of Humans and Emperor of Earth combined into one. If he completes the unification of the two realms, he will pose a great threat to the Lord of Heaven.
To this day, in the heart of the Lord of Heaven, Zhao Huaizhong is even more threatening than the demon clan.
The demon race and the human race are competing races and mortal enemies, but they cannot threaten his position.
Zhao Huaizhong, who is also a human race, is different.
For Tianting, Zhao Huaizhong is the biggest disobedient and is gradually shaking Tianting's dominance.
Under the gaze of the Lord of the Heavenly Court, Dong Lian further said: "I believe that it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to unite the two realms of Yin and Human."
This is nonsense.
The Lord of Heaven wished he could strangle Zhao Huaizhong to death, but he used all available means and the Human Emperor was still fine.
Dong Lian thought for a while and reminded: "The Qin Emperor may not be easy to deal with, but the Qin people around him and the princes of the underworld are all invincible!"
The Lord of Heaven muttered: "What Dong Qing said is deeply in line with everyone's wishes."
Dong Lian: "Your Majesty can plan from two aspects. One is to cut off the Qin Emperor's party members and kill all the princes in the underworld who dare to seek refuge with the Human Emperor.
Let's see who dares to serve him.
In addition, it can also support other princes in the underworld and fight against Qin Huang's people.
The same method can be used in the human world."
It is not easy to kill Zhao Huaizhong, but it is not difficult to cut off the princes of the underworld who are subordinate to him. It can be done by the help of Our Lady of Taiqing.
Demon ruins.
"Newly received news, the Lord of Heaven will take action against the princes of the underworld under the Human Emperor. You and others can also participate in the dark," the Demon Emperor said.
Below him stood the two great demon gods, Higashihiko and Nanaku!
Qiqiao said with a smile: "We secretly attack and kill the people under the Qin Emperor, so that we can frame it on the Heavenly Court. It can not only cut off the power of the Human Emperor, but also increase the hatred between the Human Emperor and the Heavenly Court.
If the two sides fight at this time, it will be of great benefit to our clan."
In the evening, Zhao Huaizhong returned to Xianyang from the fairy world.
It was dark at night, and the palace lanterns were high in the bedroom of Changle Palace.
The long-legged girl Ji Kuan recovered from the state of giving birth to an heir. After a long drought, the rain came, and after she was favored, she became... a little wild.
The two of them had just figured each other out, when the wind stopped and the rain stopped, she lay on the couch contentedly, her hands still busy, playing with the cane.
"Be honest, I'm thinking about something."
Zhao Huaizhong patted her.
"What is your Majesty thinking, please tell me." The long-legged girl's voice was lazy.
Zhao Huaizhong said with emotion: "I am thinking that if we attack Heaven now, it will be an advantage to the Monster Clan... If we fight the Monster Clan, the Lord of Heaven will not be able to live in peace.
What a crime."
Zhao Huaizhong pondered deeply, divided into a ray of spiritual thought, turned it into a message, and pushed it out.
Some time later, in the underworld, the God of Death Bai Qi received a message from Zhao Huaizhong.
After reading the message, his eyes narrowed slightly, and murderous intent suddenly appeared on his face!
