Chapter 74 Congratulations to everyone (please order first)
The sun sets in the west.
The dim stars light up from the sky, the black velvet night covers the sky and the earth, and firewood rises from Xianyang City.
Ying Zheng didn’t know what happened thousands of years later, but the butterfly’s wings had already been flapping.
In the ancient Xianyang Imperial City, Ying Zheng at this time had already absorbed the elixirs from the Second Wonder Relics and successfully advanced to the Nine Heavens Foundation Building.
In addition, he also ordered Zhao Tuo and others to act secretly and prepare to take this opportunity to build the third wonder ruins at the enthronement ceremony to actively deal with the upcoming crisis.
And just as it was recorded a thousand years later.
Xianyang tonight.
It’s not just Ying Zheng who is preparing.
With the upcoming enthronement ceremony, the entire Xianyang city has also taken action.
To be precise, it started a few days ago.
Because this is the face of Qin after all, and the accession of a country’s king to the throne is the top priority.
Although Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang competed for power, intrigued, and wanted to overwhelm Ying Zheng in the days when he came to the throne, but in the end they were also fighting for the Great Qin!
The strength of Great Qin is fundamental. No one wants to see an old and weak Great Qin after taking control of the political power.
Naturally, the two of them would not do anything that would disgrace Da Qin.
Da Qin's face and beating Ying Zheng, these two things do not interfere or conflict.
On the contrary, in order to ensure the complete operation of the enthronement ceremony, the two even had a tacit understanding and mobilized a large number of people!
“Quick!”
“Quick!”
“Everyone act!”
The lights are bright.
In Xianyang Imperial City, an indifferent voice sounded.
This is a middle-aged man wearing a thick black gold robe. He is the chief minister of Guanglu Temple in the Qin Dynasty. He is a person who is responsible for sacrifices, court meetings, and banquets.
Beside him, there was the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, who also held his sleeves with his hands, looking at the hurried maids around him, and scolded them harshly.
“Tomorrow is the day when your Majesty ascends the throne!”
"If it's delayed, which one of you can afford it?"
"Why don't you all act quickly!"
"Here!"
Thousands of pretty girls The maids responded sweetly.
Wearing gorgeous silks and holding candlesticks and utensils made of gold, they were dispersed in the imperial city under the command of the high ministers and young ministers of Guanglu Temple, placing many items on Every corner of the many palaces in Da Qin.
Looking at the large number of palace maids, Guanglu Temple Prime Minister who was in charge of meals and the chief clerk also scolded them!
“Everyone should speed up, and must not be held back!”
“Remember!”
“Everything must be prepared before midnight today. The food is done!”
“I’m never tired of eating!”
“What we represent is the face of Da Qin!”
“Here!”
Fireworks are floating!
In the Imperial City of Qin, the chef is already on full fire.
Pieces of chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, pigs, geese and rabbits were slaughtered, and the fresh flesh and blood were processed cleanly under the hands of more than a hundred of Da Qin's top chefs.
Two eunuchs from Guanglu Temple followed the chief minister, preparing all kinds of delicacies for tomorrow's enthronement ceremony banquet.
Not just in Xianyang Imperial City!
Besides Xianyang Imperial City, countless people also took action!
That’s the Xianyang Garrison!
These warriors were selected from the millions of troops of the Qin Dynasty. Each of them was tall and tall, and they were invincible!
There are even some captains with a faint aura of heaven and earth spreading on their bodies!
They take three steps to one post and five steps to one sentry, densely packed inside and outside Xianyang!
The night fell, and many members of the Xianyang garrison, each holding a spear in hand and wearing heavy armor.
Pitch-black chain mail covered every inch of their skin, and a pair of eagle-like eyes scanned all directions!
In the dark night, it looks like thousands of heavy iron towers, standing inside and outside Xianyang City!
In addition to these actions of the royal family, the people of Xianyang also took action one after another!
With the upcoming ceremony of Ying Zheng’s accession to the throne, the curfew in the entire Xianyang city has also been relaxed for a few hours.
In Xianyang City today, there are bright lights everywhere.
The hot summer brings hot wind, and many people are cheering for the upcoming enthronement ceremony!
Countless people are preparing, and countless people are looking forward to this happening.
The whole city of Xianyang was lively, filled with laughter and laughter everywhere.
Amidst this joy, not many people knew that an impending turbulent undercurrent was slowly surging above Xianyang City.
"It's really lively. Ah.”
“The King of Qin’s enthronement ceremony.”
The man said with a smile in the silent attic.
The starlight shone down, revealing a middle-aged man.
He looks about thirty-four years old. He is wearing a blue robe with narrow sleeves, a big collar, and a right hem.
On his generous lapel is embroidered a gorgeous pattern of clouds and standing phoenixes, and he wears a flat skip-shaped crown on his head.
He is tall and handsome, with a dignified appearance. There is an emerald green bamboo fan in front of him. He is calmly filling a pot of good hot tea. His every move carries the aura of a superior.
“Who says it’s not?”
Opposite him, there was a middle-aged man. Both of them were dressed similarly, with the same wealth and magnificence. The only difference was that this man did not have a bamboo fan, but a transparent one on his hand. Jadeite finger.
Gently rubbing his finger, the man looked down at the brightly lit city with a gentle smile, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his dark eyes.
“In less than five years, two monarchs have died. The once huge Qin State is now controlled by a woman and a businessman. It is really ironic.”
"Such a grand pomp, do Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang really think that pooping in pomp and poop can show the majesty of Qin?"
"Haha." The name is Guo Wei, but in fact he is Dayan. The envoy who was sent to Qin this time smiled and shook his head, slowly leaning on the bamboo chair, admiring the customs of this foreign capital, "It's not ironic."
"Since the death of King Qin Zhaoxiang, the fortune of the Qin Dynasty observed in our Dayan Star Observatory has been declining."
"Especially King Xiaowen of Qin and King Zhuang Xiang also died suddenly one after another. After Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang fought for power, the fortune of the Qin Dynasty plummeted. "
"At this moment, the internal struggle in Qin is not the best thing for us. "
A star observatory is the name of an institution among many big countries. There are practitioners and warlocks summoned from all over the country. They can control the wind and rain, and measure the power of a country by observing the stars. Luck weather.
There are several such institutions among hundreds of scholars.
Hearing this, the Yan envoy wearing a jade wrench picked up a cup of tea and said with a smile: "That's true. Regarding this, do you know where the Wei envoy went to visit? If you As expected, I went to Mrs. Huayang's side."
"It seems that not only us, but also the six countries are willing to watch the two forces of Qin compete with each other."
< br>Nodding lightly and shaking his bamboo fan, Guo Wei showed no surprise.
As the grandson of Guo Wei, who was once the wise man of the Yan Dynasty and the king's imperial master, who once spent thousands of gold to buy bones and build a golden platform to attract talented people from all over the world to join the Yan Kingdom, Guo Wei had expected this early.
Today's Qin Dynasty has two major forces, one is the upstart force headed by Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji, and the remaining established force of the Mi family is headed by Mrs. Quanyang Jun of Huayang.
The two forces are now fighting fiercely, putting the huge Qin Dynasty in danger.
This is naturally what they want to see. The tyranny and strength of the Qin State are still vivid in their minds. The deaths of King Qin Zhaoxiang and King Zhuang Xiang made all the people of the Six Kingdoms breathe a sigh of relief.
No one is willing to reconcile the two forces currently fighting within Qin.
Yan, Zhao and Han visited Lu Buwei, and Qi Chu visited Mrs. Huayang.
In order to maintain balance, the Wei envoys would naturally visit Mrs. Huayang.
Even this late arrival may have been intentional by the Wei envoys.
“I’m not too curious about this step of the Wei envoy.” Guo Wei said calmly, holding a cup of tea, gently skimming off the floating young leaves with the tea lid, smiling. He spoke, quite pleased.
"I just want to see how Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang will fight for power at tomorrow's enthronement ceremony, and what methods they will use to suppress this young master's government."
Listen. Upon hearing these words, the envoys accompanying Guo Wei also laughed immediately.
"Hahaha, it is true. I am also looking forward to how Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang will treat the future King of Xiao Qin at the enthronement ceremony tomorrow."
"How can we extend Qin's fortune and celestial phenomena!"
Guo Wei nodded with a smile.
According to intelligence, the eldest son of the Qin State, Zizheng, was less than thirteen years old and was still far away from reaching the age of crown.
Moreover, he was the son of King Zhuangxiang of Qin when he was a hostage in the State of Zhao. He had been back in the State of Qin for less than four years and had no influence at all.
With him alone, how can he support Qin’s fortune?
Guo Wei gently picked up the bamboo fan on the table and shook it, his eyes playful.
Although on the surface it was Qin Gong Zizheng who came to the throne, in the final analysis, Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang were just supporting puppets to take the throne.
I heard that a few days ago, this young master Zheng went into a rage in the royal city of Xianyang and killed a general of the Mi family. Although I don’t know whether it is true or not, it is obviously not something to be afraid of.
I just don’t know whether in the end of this power struggle, the upstart forces represented by Lu Buwei will win, or the established forces represented by Mrs. Huayang will remain firmly in the rear.
Guo Wei feels that the best person to win is Mrs. Huayang.
Although Lu Buwei was born as a businessman, the battle to destroy the Zhou Dynasty a few years ago made them aware of how much energy this seemingly frail old man had in his body.
Of course.
These are all things for later.
Whether Lu Buwei or Mrs. Huayang wins, Qin’s strength is destined to decline significantly.
This decline is not a simple drop, which is enough to make Qin fall from its throne as the current leader of the Seven Kingdoms. This is an indisputable fact.
However, you will definitely not be able to see this when you come this time. The power struggle between Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang will take some time to end, especially after they invaded the Six Kingdoms.
This time, Guo Wei and many envoys from the six countries came here mainly to watch the fun.
The future King of Qin, the most powerful king of the Seven Kingdoms, was beaten by two forces in turn when he came to the throne.
There is no doubt that this will definitely be a great topic of discussion after dinner in the future.
And the matter itself is interesting enough.
‘Pa’
Gently fan the bamboo fan.
The breeze blows.
Guo Wei turned his head and looked at the brightly lit city not far away. He pointed at the tall royal city with his bamboo fan, with a happy smile on his face.
“Make a bet.”
"There will definitely be a big show at the enthronement ceremony tomorrow."
In fact, it's not just the envoy of the State of Yan, Guo Wei!
This mission to Qin to visit the enthronement ceremony was not only to explore the current power structure within the Qin Dynasty, so that Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang could continue to fight for power and disintegrate the foundation of the Qin State, but most of them also held the intention of Come and watch the show!
Imagine that a future king was reduced to a puppet at a young age and was suppressed and beaten by two major forces during the enthronement ceremony. This is almost unprecedented!
Which of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period was not extremely powerful, and which generation of monarchs was not extremely ambitious?
This is especially true for the Qin State after Shang Yang’s reform!
King Hui of Qin, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Zhuangxiang of Qin.
Which one is not ambitious?
Even though King Zhuangxiang of Qin, who seemed weak and incompetent, died suddenly after reigning for only four years, but.
You must know that before he ascended the throne, he would have a lot of power. Zhao Guo was reduced to a bad card as a proton, and he became the King of Qin's king bomb!
Even with Lu Buwei's help, the roots of today's crisis for Ying Zheng were laid
But it is absolutely terrifying!
But now, the next Prince of Qin, Gong Zizheng, who has accumulated the remaining power of the Qin Dynasty for countless generations, will be suppressed and beaten when he takes the throne
How can this make them unhappy? Can you make them uninterested? !
As for Ying Zheng, he may be able to win.
This is simply not within their scope of consideration.
If Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang cannot hold down Ying Zheng, who has not yet reached the crown and has no power at all, then there is no need for them to compete for Da Qin.
Just come to us from the Six Nations.
"I still feel that there will be a good show tomorrow." Above the attic, the Chu envoy looked into the distance playfully.
"Hahahaha, let me put my words here. How happy the people of Xianyang City are today, how uncomfortable they will be when they see the enthronement ceremony tomorrow!"
"Zi Zheng, the eldest son of the State of Qin, is so difficult. I have only been back for a few years and have suffered from this kind of thing. It's a pity, it's a pity." The envoy from Qi said with a smile.
“King Zhuang Xiang died too quickly, leaving no time for Gong Zizheng to grow up.”
“I am very curious now. At tomorrow’s enthronement ceremony, Lu Buwei will What methods should these two old foxes, Mrs. Huayang, use to deal with Ying Zheng?" The Wei envoy chuckled and drank a glass of wine.
“Hahaha, it must be unexpected, it must be very interesting, very interesting!”
“I hope you can see a unique enthronement ceremony. I look forward to tomorrow. ! "Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei.
Under the dark night, the envoys from the six countries laughed in anticipation, discussing many things with each other, and everything that might happen tomorrow.
While they are waiting here, Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang are indeed formulating many strategies
After all, King Qin has ascended the throne. This matter cannot be taken lightly. How to suppress Ying Zheng without losing the majesty of the Qin State and ensure that Ying Zheng will turn to him in the future without any ulterior motives is indeed a difficult thing to control. matter.
After all, besides Ying Zheng, there is also Mrs. Lu Buwei/Huayang.
When they take action to suppress Ying Zheng, if they are not careful, they will most likely be attacked by the other party, causing them to lose everything.
This is not the result they want.
"Sister, this time we must make careful calculations, and there must be no mistakes." In the gorgeous palace, Quan Yangjun spoke to Mrs. Huayang in a deep voice.
While Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang were carefully calculating everything.
In Xianyang City, there were also many generals who were outside the two major forces and noticed the dark clouds shrouding them under the lights.
The lights were brightly lit in the huge mansion.
In the midst of a glorious building, sat a veteran.
He has a resolute face and a strong body. He is sitting in the pavilion with his upper body naked.
Although the old man's temples have long been gray and he is over fifty years old, his muscles are still as strong as rocks. Sitting cross-legged, he looks like a dragon and a tiger occupying the land. There is no trace of twilight, but an indescribable domineering quality. .
He was sitting in the pavilion, with two sea bowls the size of human heads in front of him. Five fingers as thick as carrots formed large palms like cattails. He kept slapping open the seals of pots of strong liquor and pouring them into the pavilion. , then raised his head and drank it.
"Gudong, Gudong, Gudong."
The strong wine went into the throat, and the muscles of the veteran's body were burning. Even the hot summer wind had a hint of coolness, but the old man did not feel any sense or drunkenness at all. Instead, his eyes were filled with tears. The look of worry became more and more serious.
This is none other than General Meng Ao, the veteran of the Three Dynasties and the Great Qin General who is about to become the veteran of the Four Dynasties!
He is also the father of Meng Wu, the rising star of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian, the future fierce general of the Qin Dynasty, and the grandfather of Meng Yi.
"Father, why don't you rest yet?" A figure came to Meng Wu silently and asked softly.
He has a face that is 90% similar to Meng Ao's, with bulging muscles and long hair tied back casually.
"I can't sleep. Tomorrow's enthronement ceremony may not be that simple." Meng Ao sighed and wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth.
Meng Wu frowned slightly: "The enthronement ceremony? Someone dares to be presumptuous at the enthronement ceremony? Dad, the Prime Minister and the Queen Mother, no matter how bold they are, they would not dare to do this, right?"
"Bullshit Prime Minister and Queen Mother."
Meng Ao casually opened a jar that had been covered with dust for a long time and poured it into the sea bowl.
'Gudonggudong.'
"Look more at the court, don't always focus on training and leading troops." Meng Ao picked up the sea bowl and drank it, and said in a low voice: "The thoughts of Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang, Did you just know that when the two kingdoms of Zhao and Chu besieged our country, didn't you see what they did while leading the resistance?"
"The infiltration ceremony was suspended for sixty years. "Heaven."
Said indifferently, Meng Ao's white hair was scattered randomly under the starry sky, and his huge body sat here cross-legged, like a golden lion.
"Although logically speaking, they have the right to suspend the enthronement ceremony, but throughout the ages, which king has had the ceremony suspended before he ascended the throne? Or for two full months?"
Meng Ao slapped his hand on the table and spoke coldly.
“The seven kingdoms are gone!”
“They will definitely cause trouble and take action during this enthronement ceremony.”
“These pests.”
Hearing this, Meng Wu clenched his fists, his long hair behind his back moving automatically.
"Dad, are we going to take action?"
"To take action?"
"What are you taking action for?"
Meng Ao looked at Meng Wu and dropped his hand. Haiwan continued to drink: "If you mix it in randomly, are you sure you are helping or hindering me?"
"And when you stand here, you do not represent yourself, you represent me, you represent Tian Heyi, In the future, he will even represent the brothers of the entire Meng Family Army.”
"Do you know how many brothers there are in the Meng family army? Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang may not be able to deal with us, but what about the brothers under their control?"
Meng Ao stretched out a carrot-like finger. , poked Meng Wu's head hard, and spoke calmly.
“Think twice before you act.”
“We have soldiers. But not for everything, soldiers are useful.”
“Use your brain more.”< br>
Hearing this, Meng Wu tightened and loosened his fists, loosened and tightened again, and finally had no choice but to loosen his fists. He let out a long sigh, sat down opposite Meng Ao, and drank in a muffled voice.
"Alas"
"This damn world."
"It would be great if my cultivation level could be higher. I don't have to care about all this and just do whatever I want."
He glanced at the wine jar and then drank it down. In just a few seconds, he drank several jars of his treasured Mengwu. Meng Ao slapped him out on the spot.
He immediately whipped Meng Wu away like a sack, knocking down half of the wall with a clang.
“Now that you know it, go away and practice, and don’t touch my wine.”
Climbing up from the ruins in the huge rubble, Meng Wu shook off the dust on his body and looked at Looking at Meng Ao who put away the wine jar in the distance, he grinned helplessly.
“Oh.”
Actually, tonight, it’s not just Meng Ao’s side.
Another general of Great Qin, Wang Jian of the Wang family, was also unusually silent.
Facing the retainers sent by Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang, a handsome young man who looked fourteen or fifteen years old came out and politely asked them to leave.
"I'm sorry, please report back to the Prime Minister, the Empress Dowager. My father is in retreat for cultivation. He has been missing for several days and cannot see guests for the time being."
"But tomorrow's visit For the enthronement ceremony, my father will definitely come back.”
“Please come back, please.”
The doorman had no choice but to leave.
The young man returned to the mansion.
But he did not go back to his father's study room directly. Instead, he went to the kitchen, slaughtered a few chickens himself, and cooked a pot of chicken soup.
If anyone were here, they would definitely be surprised, because there is not a single servant in the palace of Wang, one of the dignified Qin generals.
Except for a small number of guards, there are only a few elderly housekeepers.
Even among the chefs, there was only one child.
"Uncles, come and have something to eat. Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony of Lord Gongzizheng. There are Xianyang garrison outside now. There is no need to be so nervous."
Facing the young man After hearing his words, many guards were not polite and staggered forward.
Until then, through the moonlight, it was discovered that all of these guards were disabled, missing arms and legs, and some even lost their eyes.
But the young man did not show any contempt for this. Instead, he scooped a large bowl of chicken soup for everyone and sprinkled a lot of chopped green onions.
"Smells good!"
"Haha, in the whole world, we are the only ones who can eat rice cooked by the Major General himself, right?" A guard said with a smile.
"Bai Bomo is going to make fun of me." The young man smiled helplessly, picked up a bowl of chicken soup, and walked towards the study.
"There is still more in the pot, take it yourself, I will send some to dad."
The guards waved their hands.
The young man turned and left.
Knocking on the study door with chicken soup.
"Dad, the Prime Minister and the Empress Dowager's lobbyists are all gone."
"Yes." A vague voice came from inside the study, which was a tall shadow.
“It’s getting late, Bi’er, you should go to bed early.”
"Yes." Wang Ben put the food on the table and gently placed a few bamboo slips here: "This is the news that Uncle Bai just received. It came from the envoys of the six countries, as well as the recent Prime Minister, Mrs. The Queen and the others."
The figure inside the study seemed to pause for a moment while turning over the book, and then said: "Bier, please don't let your Uncle Bai do this again. It's very difficult. Danger, clairvoyance is not omnipotent."
"Yes." Wang Ben answered respectfully, but did not turn away.
"What do you want to say?" the figure in the room asked.
"Dad, are we just going to watch like this?" The young man didn't seem surprised. He asked softly, with a pair of young eyes filled with piercing coldness and murderous intent.
"Then what do you say."
"Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang have violated the laws of our Daqin Dynasty and have done so many times. According to me, they should not be killed."
But not yet. When he finished speaking, the figure in the study interrupted him.
“Get out.”
“Huh?”
"Get out. Then copy the family rules three hundred times."
"."
The young man looked helpless, but in the end he could only speak silently.
“Yes.”
The young man turned and left.
After the young man left, the figure who was sitting inside the study finally slowly walked out.
He was wearing a long robe and had a handsome face. He looked about forty years old and had a pair of narrow and handsome peach blossom eyes. But after looking carefully, he could only see silence like a deep pool. It seems to be endless and can completely tear people's eyes away.
Looking at the bamboo slips sent by Wang Ben, Wang Jian took a sip of chicken soup and gently rubbed the center of his eyebrows. His deep eyes shone with deep worry.
“The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind does not stop.”
“Master Gongzi Zheng”
There is an undercurrent.
As the enthronement ceremony is about to begin, the entire city of Xianyang is filled with chaos and complexity.
Countless people have their own evil intentions, and countless people are waiting for the good show tomorrow.
Only outside Xianyang City, a golden creature that is only half a person tall, looks forward to With the latest information obtained, he jumped three feet high with joy!
“The benefactor’s name is Gong Zizheng? And he is actually the king of this city?”
"And tomorrow is my benefactor's happy day?"
Looking at a Daqin farmer who was almost frightened in front of him, Mu Mu abandoned him in excitement and ran back and forth on the ground.
“Squeak, squeak!!”
“This is a great day!”
“It seems to be more important than the blooming and fruiting of peaches!”
"No, no, I have to prepare well!"
"But what can I give to my benefactor?"
Scratching his head excitedly, the mud monkey racked his brains and thought anxiously. His head was sweating.
After a while, Mud Monkey seemed to have thought of something, his eyes widened, and he patted his head,
“That’s right!”
"And this!"
"I almost forgot!"
After saying this, the mud monkey quickly ran towards the jungle.
A moment later.
With the roar of jungle beasts, it seemed that the entire forest began to shake silently
Suddenly on the shelves.
I hope everyone can give me some support, and the author will repay the favor by updating 30,000 words on the first day of publication.
