All the palace maids and eunuchs were waiting carefully below. Although their monarch had a gentle temperament and was very kind to their servants, from the day they entered the palace, they understood a truth. It was good luck for the nobles to treat them well.
, if they are not good, it is fate. What they have to do is to serve good noble people and understand the dignity and inferiority.
"Your Majesty! Immortal Zuo Cixian is outside asking for an audience!" Xiao Huangmen's voice reached Ying Zige's ears. It was respectful and clear, clearly audible but not noisy at the same time.
"Recruit!" Ying Zige came back to his senses, a flash of thought flashed between his brows, "By the way, let's recruit Baili Xi and Shang Yang to meet Gu!"
"No!" Xiao Huangmen nodded respectfully, bowed and stepped back.
Since Zuo Ci and his helper Jia Xu and others persuaded Zhang Lu and captured Hanzhong without any bloodshed, Zuo Ci returned directly to Chang'an. After discussing the matter with Ying Zige on the matter of preaching, Zuo Ci could be regarded as completing his initial mission.
goal, and also learned a lot of future religious knowledge from Ying Zige.
Taoism, as a local sect, Ying Zige actually doesn't have much dislike for him. After all, he also knows that in addition to food, clothing, shelter, and food and clothing, people can still have necessary spiritual beliefs.
After all, the ancients still believed in ghosts and gods.
And if Taoism is mastered and utilized well, it may be a supreme weapon in the hands of the Qin Empire.
"I've seen you, your Majesty. Yuan Fang is so polite!" Zuo Ci was still as fair-haired and childlike as ever. As soon as he entered the palace, he saluted Ying Zige, the leader, and then raised his head to look at the four-hundred-year-old man who had been destroyed by one hand.
In the center of the Han court, the majestic king who rebuilt the Qin Dynasty was not as calm as he appeared.
The previous exchange gave Zuo Ci a general understanding of Ying Zige. Combined with his detailed knowledge of Da Qin and the Ying Meng family, plus the interactions with Jia Xu, Meng Hu, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and Zhang
During the exchange between Lu and others, he realized how dazzling the person in front of him was.
Of course, the most important thing is that Ying Zige allows him to realize his dream and realize the Tao. So he must respect Ying Zige. This has nothing to do with bloodline, power and strength, but only because of preaching and state religion.
, and of course the wisdom inheritance of Xu preaching and Taoism that Ying Zige controlled and leaked to him.
In short, when Zuo Ci faced Ying Zige again now, his mood was no longer as detached as when they first met and communicated. With the bond, his mood was naturally complicated. Of course, his respect would not change.
Ying Zige glanced at the immortal Zuo Ci below, pondered slightly, looked gentle, and showed a warm smile like a spring breeze. He asked unhurriedly: "Yuan Fang came here to find an orphan, but what about the state religion?"
Is there anything you need help with?"
Zuo Ci was slightly startled, feeling Ying Zige's pleasant tone, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Although at his level, apart from preaching, there was basically nothing he needed from Ying Zige, but
It was heart-warming that Ying Zige, as the king of a country, could express such gentle and sincere words to an outsider like him. He immediately nodded slightly and said gently: "Thank you for your concern!
"
"You don't need to thank me. In fact, it was Gu Yao Xie Yuanfang who brought the correct spiritual beliefs to my people of Great Qin, so that they can better serve the country!" Ying Zige looked at Zuo Ci with a smile, and his mind couldn't help but
Thinking of the religious system and some Taoist mantras that were changed by my own demons.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome!" Zuo Ci nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty studies heaven and man, and your wisdom reaches the heavens. Without Your Majesty's support, Yuan Fang's way is still in chaos. I can't come today.
I came here to thank you, and to report to Your Majesty that the Hall of Heroes you asked us to build in the Central Taoist Temple has been completed. If Your Majesty has time, please go and take a look!"
"Oh!" Ying Zige's eyes lit up, "Has it been built yet?!"
After pondering for a moment, Ying Zige immediately waved to the small yellow gate on the side, "Go tell Ziming and Shang Jun to go directly to the Central Taoist Temple, so that you can see where the souls of our Great Qin soldiers return!"
"No!" Xiao Huangmen nodded respectfully, turned around and stepped back to deliver a message to the people who had gone to recruit Baili Xi and Shang Yang.
Ying Zige walked down the steps with a smile and waved to Zuo Ci, "Then please ask Yuan Fang to lead the way!"
"No!" Zuo Ci shouted, bowed behind Ying Zige, and walked out together. The guards guarding him openly and secretly hurriedly followed.
Black bricks, black walls, black pillars, the entire Hall of Heroes is completely black, except for the last hanging things and the location where the memorial monument is to be visited, turned white.
The color black in the Qin Dynasty represents stability and solemnity, and also implies mourning, sorrow, and sorrow. Black is also a symbol of the north, representing "water virtue" and is one of the five colors. Therefore, when Taoism was established as the state religion,
Ying Zige had already decided to add a Martyrs' Shrine to every Taoist temple to commemorate the souls of the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the Qin Dynasty.
Black is the color that Ying Zige thinks is the most suitable. Just like the white monuments and hanging objects. In Ying Zige's heart, white represents purity, brightness and cleanliness, as well as elegance and loyalty. He hopes that all those who have not yet entered the Qin Dynasty
The sacrificed heroes can have a pure land after death, a pure, clean, bright and elegant residence, and of course, praise for their loyalty.
Anyway, in Ying Zige's design, apart from black and white, there are no other colors in this place. Of course, the color of red incense may also be added.
As he walked, Ying Zige's eyes soon saw the darkness in the distance. His movements couldn't help but slow down, and he took a few more steps. Everything, including the ground, became pitch black, except for the sky.
There is no other color except for some white. After all, the monument to the martyrs has not been transferred yet, and the incense has not been offered yet.
"Your Majesty!" Zuo Ci's voice reached Ying Zige's ears, with a hint of solemnity, solemnity, and a hint of holiness, "We've arrived!"
"Yeah!" Ying Zige nodded slightly, and with a solemn expression he led Zuo Ci towards the Martyrs' Shrine, and then stopped in front of a black wordless monument more than ten meters high, "The Monument of Loyalty and Martyrs!"
Ying Zige looked at the black stone tablet in front of him with a complicated expression. He couldn't help but recall the soldiers and people who sacrificed their lives for the revival of the Qin Dynasty. After being silent for a long time, he reached out and took the one that Zuo Ci had already prepared.
I held the incense, bowed solemnly and bowed three times in front of the black giant monument, and inserted the incense into the earthen jar in front of the monument with peace in my heart.
"The Heroes' Shrine in the Central Taoist Temple should be the important place of our Great Qin. All heroes who have sacrificed their lives for our Great Qin and made contributions to our Great Qin should be stationed here to enjoy the incense of our Great Qin, enjoy the admiration of all people, and live forever!"
"Today, let Gu Lai offer this first incense. It is not only a sign of respect to heaven, but also an oath!"
"Heaven and earth are proof, all the sons and daughters who sacrificed for our Great Qin are proof, and our Great Qin's ancestors are proof from generation to generation. Gu, Ying Zheng, Ying Zige hereby swear as the king of Great Qin that he will definitely organize and perfect everything for you."
In the future, I will do my best to let your parents, wives, children, and relatives enjoy your glory and enjoy everything they deserve. If you violate this oath, both heaven and man will be killed, and thousands of arrows will pierce your heart.
To worship the spirits."
This word, this oath! Heaven and earth have learned from each other, gods have learned from each other, ancestors have learned from each other, and all people have learned from each other!" Ying Zige looked calm as if he was talking to a person and slowly said his oath to the black commemorative monument.
.
Zuo Ci's face was solemn, looking at Mr. Zhuang's Ying Zige, the fairy-like Taoist, his baby-like face suddenly blushed, his body floated up, slowly came to the sky and knelt down, "Taoist Zuo Ci worships Da Qin
The name of the emperor must be recognized by heaven and earth, by gods and men, and by all peoples!"
As Zuo Ci's words fell, a mouthful of scarlet blood suddenly spurted out, and then disappeared into the void. In the dark, a leisurely and ethereal voice echoed between heaven and earth.
"allow!"
This echo was extremely erratic and deafening. But it was obvious that only Zuo Ci and Ying Zige could hear it.
At this sound, Ying Zige couldn't help but be slightly startled. Although he had the Tiger Talisman, he knew that there were many unexplainable existences in the world. Even the legendary immortals and gods did not exist. However, what was ahead was
Just as he was sure that Zuo Ci and the guys recorded in the official history were just powerful people, Zuo Ci hit him again with such a move, but it made him look at the sky with a complicated mood, and his vitality was obviously severely damaged
Zuo Ci.
But he didn't say much at this time, he just silently bowed to the memorial tablet.
