In October, the land of Guanzhong gradually enters the coldness after the harvest.
There were dark clouds floating in the sky, and a bit of rain fell, adding a touch of coolness.
Chang'an is about four hundred miles away from Lishan Mountain. For ordinary warriors, it would take a day or even longer to complete this journey.
With Emperor Qin's cultivation level reaching the sky, he traveled from Mount Li to the outside of Chang'an City in just a blink of an eye.
Although Lishan Mausoleum had been in seclusion for five years, to Emperor Qin, it seemed like a dream.
But when Emperor Qin once again saw this majestic city built by his own hands, he still felt as if he had been separated from the world, his mood was complicated, and he even stopped involuntarily.
"How is my country?" For some reason, Emperor Qin suddenly felt a feeling that was similar to being close to home, but even more timid.
However, as soon as this emotion emerged, Emperor Qin decisively suppressed it.
The emperor never needs extra emotions.
After regaining his composure, Emperor Qin crossed thousands of feet in one step, stepped into Chang'an City, and stood in the sky above the city. His spiritual awareness naturally spread out and enveloped every corner of Chang'an City.
Soon, Emperor Qin's expression turned gloomy. Chang'an Street was filled with people queuing up to grab food.
During the few breaths of time he stayed in the air, three armed fights broke out in Chang'an, all of which were over food grabbing.
Emperor Qin felt a surge of anger in his heart for no reason: "In just a few years, the Qin State, which was prosperous and peaceful, has been reduced to such a state of poverty. In the capital, there were incidents of food grabbing and armed fighting. The civil and military officials of the dynasty
What have you been doing?"
"How did Hu Hai become the emperor? He is an unworthy descendant."
After watching for a while, Emperor Qin found that apart from grain stores, there were very few other shops in Chang'an City, which looked very depressed.
Although the national policy of the Qin Dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this phenomenon was extremely abnormal.
Emperor Qin, who had sat on the throne for hundreds of years, knew this very well.
"I absolutely can't bear to have the country that I worked so hard to conquer be misbehaved by a group of people."
This thought passed through Emperor Qin's mind, and then he said with deep breath and a loud voice: "Order all civil and military officials to enter the palace within a quarter of an hour and listen to the decree in Chengtian Hall. Those who are late will be punished with a stick, and those who fail to do so will be punished with death."
This sentence was clearly audible and reached the ears of everyone in Chang'an City.
The whole city of Chang'an was quiet at first, and then erupted into several times of noise.
When Emperor Qin was in power, Li Si rebelled and killed a number of officials. After Lin Ze put down Li Si's rebellion, Hu Hai purged a number of them. After that, Lin Ze killed Zhao Gao and also purged a number of them. They are still officials today.
There are not many "old ministers" left.
These "veterans" recognized the voice of Emperor Qin the moment they heard these words.
Although they couldn't figure out why Emperor Qin suddenly appeared, it didn't stop them from following the order and going to the palace to pay their respects.
Whether they are drinking with friends in a restaurant or playing with concubines in their own mansions, officials who belong to the ranks of "veteran officials" simply drop what they are doing, change their official uniforms in the shortest possible time, and rush to Xianyang
palace.
Those officials who were later promoted to court officials and had no contact with Emperor Qin reacted much slower.
They are falling into doubts about life. Is the sudden appearance of a strange voice an hallucination?
Is the person speaking falsely preaching the imperial edict?
There were also a small number of people who, with the mentality that they would rather miss it than let it go, immediately changed their official uniforms and rushed to Xianyang Palace.
In Xianyang Palace, Hu Hai, who was concentrating on recuperating his body and trying to restore his martial arts skills, burst into tears when he heard this. He looked at the sky with dark clouds and murmured to himself: "Father..."
Then Hu Hai looked excited, leaving the eunuchs and maids serving beside him, and ran madly to Chengtian Palace.
Huang Banban, who was accompanying him, quickly led his men to chase after him, shouting anxiously: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, please slow down, don't fall."
Hu Hai didn't listen to Huang Banban's call at all. Instead, he ran and shouted with a smile: "It's the father. It's the father's voice. The father is not dead. He is back."
As soon as these words came out, more than one maid and eunuch in Xianyang Palace had surprise in their eyes. How much credit should be calculated for such a big news?
Running all the way to the square in front of Chengtian Palace, Hu Hai was panting from exhaustion even though he still had a third-level martial arts training.
Hu Hai stopped in the square in front of Chengtian Hall. It wasn't that he couldn't run anymore, but that he was afraid of stepping into the hall in front of him and finding out that it was just a dream.
After standing for a while, Hu Hai took a deep breath, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and stepped into the hall.
It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that you can't avoid. No matter whether your father comes back from the dead or not, you can't avoid what you have to face.
As soon as Hu Hai stepped into the hall, a familiar angry voice sounded in his ears: "You treacherous son, kneel down before me."
It was still a familiar voice. Hu Hai looked ecstatic when he heard the words. He opened his eyes. When he saw the familiar face, he couldn't restrain himself. He rushed to Emperor Qin who was sitting on the dragon throne, knelt on his knees and kowtowed.
Said: "My son, I pay my respects to my father."
Hu Hai's eyes were slightly red, and all the grievances he had suffered in the five years since he ascended the throne burst out at this moment.
"Father, I am ashamed of my ancestors, and I feel guilty in my heart."
Emperor Qin glanced at his young son who was sobbing, and the softest part of his heart was touched by it. His words were a little softer: "Find a place to sit, and I will handle everything."
Hu Hai nodded heavily and responded: "My son, I obey the order."
Then Hu Hai froze in the main hall for a long time without moving, because he found that except for the dragon chair, there was no place suitable for him to sit in the main hall.
But the dragon chair had been occupied by Emperor Qin, so Hu Hai didn't know what to do for a while.
Do you want to remind your father that you have actually succeeded to the throne for five years?
Hu Hai thought for a while and felt a little afraid. He could only look at Emperor Qin cautiously, hoping to arouse his idea.
But Emperor Qin didn't look at Hu Hai for a second, but closed his eyes to rest, sorting out his own martial arts realm and how to practice next.
Although Emperor Qin didn't know how many realms there were in heaven and man, he could feel that he was far from reaching the peak, a realm that could not be entered.
Not long after, the first official walked into the hall. When he saw the familiar figure on the dragon throne, he cried with joy and bowed down: "I, my humble minister, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Emperor Qin did not respond. In his opinion, there was no need to respond one by one.
The first official to step into the Chengtian Hall was accustomed to this. He found his own place in the court meeting and stood up to wait for instructions.
Then many officials arrived one after another. When they saw Empress Qin, some were overjoyed and others were surprised.
Without exception, these people automatically ignored Hu Hai, who was standing in the middle of Chengtian Hall.
Those who know Emperor Qin naturally feel that it is legitimate for Emperor Qin to sit on the dragon throne.
For those who don't know Emperor Qin, seeing that everyone is sitting on the dragon's throne, they may be seeking power and usurping the throne. How can they easily take sides?
A quarter of an hour later, Emperor Qin slowly opened his eyes and said, "Close the palace door. Those who are late will kneel outside and are not allowed to enter the palace."
Emperor Qin glanced at Hu Hai, who was standing alone in the middle, and said coldly: "Unfilial son, come to my side."
Hu Hai was pardoned and cautiously ran to Emperor Qin.
There are a few stupid people who can stand in the main hall. The identity of the young man sitting on the dragon chair is immediately revealed.
Then, under the leadership of the three heads of the Meng Xibai family, the ministers followed closely behind, shouting: "I will see your Majesty."
