In the morning, Lin Ze was fast asleep on the bed, with a trace of drool hanging on his smiling face. It was obvious that he was having a sweet dream. In the dream, he had already reached the level of Grandmaster, and had made great achievements in the war for the Qin Dynasty.
He was named the Champion Marquis by the Emperor of Qin. He owned a mansion as big as other princes' mansions, and had countless followers. He was followed by beauties who came in and out of carriages. Suddenly, Lin Ze was ambushed by an enemy while he was shopping. The enemy was extremely powerful, and he swung out of the carriage with a palm.
He was shaken by the shock and was about to be shattered. Lin Ze immediately used the powerful energy in his body to stabilize the carriage. Well, he couldn't. The carriage broke into pieces. Lin Ze fell off the carriage, and the enemy's sword pointed directly at him.
Lin Ze's throat. Lin Ze woke up immediately with a start, and hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a dream. Well, no, the whole room was shaking. "I'm going, there's an earthquake." He quickly jumped up from the bed and ran to the yard.
In the open space, and then under his eyes, after several struggles, the entire yard still shook and collapsed. There was lightning and thunder in the distance, and the vibrations continued. Lin Ze was speechless for a while, wasn't it just a sweet dream? This
What kind of evil has he committed? It feels like he is being punished by God.
In the distance, Xianyang Palace, a powerful and angry aura rose. With a majestic "enough", the aura soared into the sky, directly shattering the condensed thunderclouds in the sky, and spread from the center to the entire Chang'an City. Lin Ze
He was stunned to see it, and the moment he was swept by the aftermath of the momentum, he felt a trembling feeling all over his body, as if he was locked by the top powerhouse in the biological chain. Then, powerful auras rose up from everywhere else.
, feeling the aura in the center, they shrank back like mice when they saw a cat. Then a high-pitched and high-pitched voice came from Xianyang Palace, resounding through the sky: "Your Majesty has an order, all civil and military officials are here to pay homage to Xianyang Palace."
". "Nuo" There was a continuous echo in the city, no matter whether it was heard or not, the ups and downs continued, all declaring the prestige of His Majesty the Qin Emperor.
Lin Ze was shocked. It was so scary. He went from Lin Mansion to Wu'an Jun's Mansion, which was almost 30 kilometers away. Wu'an Jun's Mansion was only close to the edge of the imperial city. How strong can a person be in Xianyang Palace?
The sound was carried casually for fifty or sixty kilometers. The two martial arts masters probably didn't have to go out to communicate. They could just shout from a distance. (PS: Strong man: Ahem, we are not as boring as you).
In Chengtian Hall of Xianyang Palace, where the Great Qin Dynasty met, one after another high-ranking officials came in and found their positions and stood in line. On the square outside the hall, middle- and low-ranking officials also stood in square formations, but the number was small.
It is more than ten times that in the palace. The five people standing at the front of the palace are several first-class bosses who stayed in Chang'an. Standing in the middle is the Prime Minister Lu Chunqiu, who is known as the head of the hundred officials, and on the left and right of him
Standing were Wei Yang, the "Shang Lord", and Gongsun Qi, the "Wu'an Lord", both of whom had the title of "Two Lords of the Empire". The two people standing further outside were Taiwei Wei Liao and Tingwei Li Si. Behind the five people, ten people were neatly lined up.
There are hundreds of senior officials at a glance, but their costumes are distinct. Behind Prime Minister Lu Chunqiu are a group of civil servants wearing high hats and civilian clothes. Behind Taiwei Wei Liao is a group of officials wearing armor.
Among the military generals, behind Tingwei Li Si stood a group of spies in black brocade robes, while behind Lord Shang and Lord Wu An stood a group of nobles in rich attire, all old and new nobles of the Qin Dynasty, including Zong Zheng, the clan member of the Qin State.
Several grand masters and their officials who were fighting abroad, as well as thousands of high-ranking officials from all sizes in Chang'an City, all gathered inside and outside Chengtian Hall, neatly and solemnly.
Before His Majesty the Emperor arrived, they could no longer hold themselves back. The officials who didn't know what was going on asked their colleagues around them about the purpose of His Majesty's summons of civil and military officials this time, so as not to end up saying the wrong thing and standing in the wrong team, thereby causing harm to the family. Everyone present
People communicated and thought for a long time, but got nothing. In the end, everyone's eyes focused on the five big guys at the front, and those five big guys stood tall and straight, all silent, from the beginning to now.
Said something.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard walked up from the back of the hall. He waved his whisk and glanced at the officials with sharp and sharp eyes. He waited until everyone shut up and the whole hall could hear the drop of a needle, then he nodded with satisfaction.
, opened his mouth, and a high-pitched and high-pitched voice resounded through the hall, "Welcome to His Majesty the First Emperor." A group of officials bowed and saluted under the leadership of several senior officials, and loudly echoed "We sincerely welcome His Majesty the First Emperor to come." In the crowd,
Amidst the calls to bow and salute, a young man wearing a nine-dragon crown and a black dragon robe suddenly appeared in the hall. He was the ruler of the Qin Dynasty's thousands of miles, the emperor of the ages, the Emperor of Qin. The Emperor of Qin waved his robe with both hands.
Slowly sitting on the huge dragon chair in the middle, after sitting firmly, he raised his right hand and said, "Your Majesty, stand straight." "No," all the officials stood upright and looked forward.
At this time, the guard in charge of the main hall combined the huge hall door into one, and closed the door with a bang.
At the signal of the Emperor of Qin, the middle-aged white-faced and beardless man, Zhao Gao, the Secretary of the Qin Dynasty, held a long silk in his hand, slowly opened it and read: "By God's blessing, the Emperor of Qin has issued an edict: There are two alchemists, Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng.
He led his disciples to refine the elixir in Chang'an City, which caused an earthquake in Chang'an City and damaged half of the houses. He was harmful to the people and guilty of the Qin Dynasty. Now he ordered Tingwei Li Si to send people to arrest the two and their disciples, and choose a day to trap them.
Outside Xianyang Palace."
Tingwei Li Si immediately stepped forward to take the long silk and put it away, and nodded to a man in black behind him. The man in black immediately turned out of the side hall, then took away more than a dozen people from the square and left in a hurry.
Next, Zhao Gao took out a long silk roll and continued to read: "I am pardoning Prime Minister Lu Chunqiu to recruit 600,000 warriors from all over the world to build a palace and mausoleum in Lishan Mountain. No matter what the cost, it must be completed within 10 years."
Prime Minister Lu Chunqiu nodded in agreement and stepped forward to accept the long silk, but he was not in a hurry to arrange for people to leave. This matter could not be rushed in a short time.
Then Zhao Gao took out the third long silk: "Order the loyal Hou Meng Ao to lead the army to attack the grassland in the north, and the Longchuan Hou Zhao Tuo to lead the army to the south to conquer Baiyue. Along the way, we will collect rare medicinal materials and monsters for the court, and the Prime Minister's Office will collect them.
The sect and the aristocratic family have a total of two million warriors cooperating."
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were shocked. The recruitment of 2 million warriors was just for external expansion. The battles to destroy the country in the past were just like this. However, the emperor's will was not changed by their surprise. Taiwei Wei Liao took the long silk
.
Next, Zhao Gao did not take out the long silk, but dictated: "In addition, I ordered the national counselor Xu Fu to lead three thousand imperial guards to go to sea to find overseas fairy islands, and Anlu Hou Ye Teng will provide full assistance."
As soon as the four orders were issued, the ministers who had been silenced for a long time by the large-scale silence technique began to discuss one after another. Some people were happy, and there would be a battle to fight soon, which meant that they could make achievements, risk their lives to gain glory and wealth, or protect their descendants.
; Some people are worried that the world will recruit 2.6 million warriors at once, and the Qin Dynasty has unified the world for only a few decades. The survivors of the Six Kingdoms and the sects behind them have not been completely destroyed although their strength has been greatly reduced. If too many warriors are recruited, it will easily cause chaos in the world; some people are worried.
Turning darkly, I don’t know what to think.
Not long after, a man in black came back and said: "In honor of the emperor's order, Lu Sheng, Hou Sheng and their disciples were captured. The two leaders knew that they were not spared, so they committed suicide to thank Your Majesty, and captured Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng.
There are more than 400 disciples under the sect, waiting for your Majesty's disposal."
Emperor Qin responded in a cold voice without changing his expression: "The two culprits broke up their car and abandoned it in the city. The rest of the people trapped them at the north gate of Xianyang Palace as a warning to others." The man in black obeyed the order and retreated.
The emperor who was sitting upright felt a little bored when he looked at the mess below. Next to him, Zhongshu Ling Zhao Gao immediately shouted knowingly: "If you have something to report, please leave the court if there is nothing." This suddenly pulled the ministers out of the messy situation.
When they came back, they all looked at the emperor in the palace, waiting for his final order before they could leave and plan for what they wanted.
At this time, one of the civil servants came out and said: "I have a report from the imperial censor, Mao Jiao."
Emperor Qin was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't know what this upright minister wanted to say, but he still nodded: "It's accurate."
Mao Jiao, the imperial censor, immediately said: "Your Majesty has risen from the troubled times, exposed frost and dew, cut down thorns, and then enjoyed the world. Now the Holy Ming, the alchemist who talks about immortality, has been punished. I heard that Yao and Shun did not treat each other as emperor and son.
Others, this is because you don’t care about the world. How can you care about the world if you have good oxen and horses? Young Master Fusu, a virtuous and virtuous man, should be established as his heir." After saying this, he straightened his body and knelt on the ground.
The meaning of the whole sentence is that you have finally unified the world after going through countless hardships. Moreover, you are also a sage monarch. Immortality is unreliable. You have also killed all the alchemists who deceived you. I once heard
It is said that the two kings Yao and Shun in ancient times actually passed the throne to others instead of passing it on to their own sons. This is a big mistake. An ordinary person loves the best cattle and horses very much when he sees them, let alone a country thousands of miles away.
You now have a son named Fusu who has excellent character. I think he is very good. You should make him a prince so that he can inherit your family business.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qin's face became as dark as water, and he shouted loudly: "You are outrageous, is this what you, a little minister, should say?"
He turned to Prime Minister Lu Chunqiu and roared: "Prime Minister, you have taught your subordinates well, but you dare to say any nonsense in the court."
Prime Minister Lu Chunqiu's face was dark. He looked at his subordinates who were kneeling in the middle with their chests straightened. It was a headache for them to face this kind of stubbornness. He dared to speak up without saying hello. If not both himself and His Majesty were familiar with his character.
As a human being, I would think that I would take advantage of Mr. Fusu and open his eyes for him.
Prime Minister Lu Chunqiu looked confused and finally sighed. After all, Mao Jiao is his subordinate. No matter what, if he steps forward today, he will inevitably be implicated. If he is not protected today, what will you let others think?
Although his position is known as the head of hundreds of officials, with one person below ten thousand people, he often cannot control it. In the end, he took a step forward and saluted Emperor Qin: "Although Mao Jiao's words are biased, but
After all, you are dedicated to serving the country, please let your Majesty know clearly."
This sentence is even more interesting. Although what others say doesn’t sound good, it still makes sense. It’s up to you to decide whether it’s right or not.
Instead, Emperor Qin laughed angrily: "So the Prime Minister thinks it's time to establish a heir apparent. What do all the ministers think?"
The old Taiwei Wei Liao took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, please put the country first. As for who should be appointed as the heir apparent, it is entirely up to Your Majesty."
Seeing this, all the ministers bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, please put the country first." It's a joke, if you don't establish a heir, and the Qin Dynasty is in civil strife, how can your military achievements be passed on to future generations?
Emperor Qin was furious when he saw this: "Come here, take down Mao Jiao, abolish martial arts, and order Tingwei to send people to confiscate the Mao family. The whole family will be exiled for three thousand miles. They will not be allowed to return to Chang'an without the holy order." "Nuo.
"After saying that, two warriors came up and dragged Mao Jiao down under the sympathetic eyes of the officials. During this process, Mao Jiao's expression did not change and he did not say a word, but his chest remained straight and straight.
"On the other hand, Prime Minister Lu Chunqiu was incompetent in his duties. He roared in the court, fined him a year's salary, and shut himself up for three months." Prime Minister Lu Chunqiu bowed to Emperor Qin and resigned, and left the Chengtian Palace with a staggering step.
At this time, Qin Huangzheng's anger had subsided a little. He looked at the ministers and smiled solemnly: "Aren't you very concerned about the prince? I ordered officials at all levels from the prime minister down to recommend the talented direct children of the family, and ordered the prince to help Su.
, Hu Hai set up martial arts halls respectively, and each selected 10 young men of suitable age from the children of each prince's mansion as guards, and selected 100 young men of suitable age from the children of officials at all levels as followers to accompany the two young masters in martial arts. The winner of the final martial arts performance can be
"Heir, retreat from the court." After saying this, he walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Gao shouted with his high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty has ordered that all officials withdraw from the court."
Promise, all the courtiers retreated as instructed
