Chapter 75 The young king!


Chapter 75 The young king!

The night is as dark as ink.

In and outside Xianyang City, some people are worried, some are anxious, some are planning carefully, and some are just hanging on to things that have nothing to do with themselves.

There are also people who have the attitude of watching a drama, waiting for the arrival of the enthronement ceremony the next day

Time flies by like water.

While countless people are waiting

The rising white fish belly gradually rises from the east.

The King of Qin's enthronement ceremony finally officially began

The quiet night faded into darkness.

Light fills the sky and the earth.

At this moment, Xianyang City was solemn and quiet.

Under the dim light, the entire Xianyang City inside and outside has been washed by clean water and is spotless.

The thick and tall dark city walls have already been washed away.

The sky is clear and cloudless. Warlocks from Daqin Observatory have long come to do this, calling up strong winds to blow away the white clouds.

‘Wow~’

On the top of the city in all directions, stands dozens of meters high black water blackbird flags. The huge black and gold flags are hunting in the wind under the dim starlight.

A solemn and solemn atmosphere surrounds the city, which comes from the countless Xianyang garrison troops surrounding it.

They guarded the streets and the imperial city, with a post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps. They were wearing iron armor and had stern eyes, scanning all directions.

The pitch-black formation spread out from the imperial city and dissipated only several miles outside the city.

Under the pale starlight, they remained motionless.

It hasn't moved at all since last night.

Looking from a distance, it looks like a heavy iron tower, standing between the city and the wilderness.

The entire streets of Xianyang City were already deserted.

All the people returned to their homes.

They closed their doors and windows, bathed and changed clothes, lit incense, and waited for the arrival of today's solemn moment.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The hearts of countless people accelerated uncontrollably.

The morning light is fading, and the white fish belly on the horizon gradually disappears.

The breeze blew, and when the first purple mist rose in the east

The young minister of Guanglu Temple who was responsible for the etiquette stepped forward in person, pulled up the rope with a solemn expression, and then Smash it hard and ring the first bell from the east! !

‘Dang~’

The heavy and majestic bells, accompanied by the nascent purple energy, resounded throughout Xianyang!

‘Dang~’

‘Dang~’

‘Dang~’

The next moment, three more bells suddenly rang from the south, north, and west directions of Xianyang City!

Three bells, accompanied by the first bell, suddenly resounded throughout the world!

‘Dang~~’

The sleeping bird was awakened from its sleep!

They flapped their wings and rushed into the sky.

The tall ancient bell was struck one after another by a majestic official of Guanglu Temple. The heavy and majestic sound made the entire Xianyang City tremble!

Almost at the same time, a solemn voice suddenly sounded in the imperial city!

"The auspicious time has arrived!!"

As this solemn voice sounded, around Xianyang Imperial City, a famous ceremony officer gradually raised his head respectfully and spoke solemnly one after another!

“The auspicious time has arrived!”

"The auspicious time has arrived!"

The solemn and loud voice, led by a famous ceremony official, spread throughout Xianyang!

In just a moment, it spread throughout Xianyang City!

The breeze blows and the bells tremble!

In the huge Xianyang City, countless people raised their heads, their eyes bursting with brilliant light!

here we go!

Take a deep breath.

The officials belonging to Da Qin began to tidy up their clothes.

They were neatly dressed, walked calmly and solemnly, walked out of their homes or places, and walked towards the location of the imperial city's enthronement ceremony.

Their postures are respectful, their expressions are solemn, and their expressions are majestic and solemn.

Even Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang looked dignified.

Outside Xianyang City, the officials who came from various counties and counties in Daqin also carefully arranged their clothes and slowly began to enter through the city gate that opened in the east and headed for the predetermined viewing position.

Even the envoys who came from the six countries to watch the show looked solemn.

After all, it is the enthronement ceremony of the king of a country. Even if they come with the intention of watching a show, they must maintain enough respect.

After carefully tidying up their clothes, they slowly walked out of the door.

Looking at the surrounding scenes and the solemn bells reverberating around them, these envoys from the six countries looked calm, but when they glanced around, there was occasionally a subtle look of joking in their eyes.

“Hahaha, it’s finally begun. I’ve been waiting for this great show for a long time.”

“I hope it will be more exciting. After I go back, the enthronement ceremony will be held. , I still need to report to the king. The king has been looking forward to this ceremony for a long time."

"The so-called number one in the Seven Kingdoms really doesn't know who gave him this title, but it doesn't matter, starting from today. After that, only I, the Great Chu, can get this title.”

“Come, let me see how Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang beat the little Qin King who is about to take the throne today.” br>

"The show has begun. Everything today will be quite interesting."

"Let's see together how the Qin Kingdom's fortune will change after today's King Qin's enthronement ceremony."

One by one, the envoys from the six countries walked calmly and smiled brightly, and went to the designated viewing position one after another.

In addition to the envoys of the Six Kingdoms and officials of the Qin State, at today's enthronement ceremony, some people and scholars from the Qin State also arrived. Some cultivator sects near Xianyang obtained Received sporadic qualifications to attend the ceremony.

Many people from these various schools of thought also know about what is happening within the Qin State.

Among them, there were also some people who walked towards the viewing position with a bit of a theater mentality.

“The scene is really grand.” A Qi practitioner from the Mo family looked around.

He was wearing a small wooden pendant with an emerald green gem embedded in it, which seemed to provide it with huge power, causing the pendant to slow down in a constant pattern. Spin slowly.

"After all, it is the most powerful country among the Seven Kingdoms today." A man in a long gown answered with a smile. He had a handsome face and held a folding fan in his hand. He was obviously a Confucian scholar.

"Hahaha, I heard that something interesting will happen at the Qin Kingdom's enthronement ceremony this time?" This is a tall man with a majestic figure and a strong and refined strength in his movements. Evil spirit, that is the Qi practitioner of the military strategist.

"There should be. Today, there is endless competition within the Qin State. Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang will definitely take action at the enthronement ceremony. This time the Little Qin King ascends the throne, he may be more of a puppet." There are Legalists. He spoke with a smile, gentle and gentle, but his eyes seemed to be shining with massive runes.

“Let’s talk less and let’s watch the show. Just watch the enthronement and ceremony quietly, be careful of the trouble coming from your mouth.”

A Qi practitioner from hundreds of schools of thought arrived. The cultivators near Xianyang were all discussing in low voices and slowly headed to the designated location.

Even the Fengqing Sect sent a first-rate expert from the Nine Heavens of Bodybuilding to the enthronement site, ready to watch the show.

"Gongzizheng? Aren't the current internal affairs of Qin already controlled by Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang? I really don't understand why I have to come to watch such a grand enthronement ceremony."

"In this period of time, it is better for me to practice sword skills in the sect for a while."

This Fengqing Sect disciple muttered like this, slightly dissatisfied, but even though he said this, he also He turned his head and looked at the location of Xianyang Imperial City in the distance, also wanting to see today's scene.

After all, when the king of a country ascends the throne, it is rare for his own family to cause trouble.

Like a tide of people, they came from all directions to the vicinity of the imperial city. They were quiet They were waiting in their respective positions, waiting for the start of the enthronement ceremony.

Everyone is waiting for a good show to be staged. Everyone is waiting to watch the confrontation between Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang at the enthronement ceremony.

No one thought highly of Gong Zizheng, who was just thirteen years old. Everyone thought he was just a puppet who was being supported.

And just when everyone had this mentality, thinking that Ying Zheng’s enthronement ceremony was destined to be completely suppressed by Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang.

The Great Qin Xianyang Emperor , Ying Zheng also slowly opened his eyes.

The first ray of morning light falls.

Ying Zheng stopped practicing breathing.

He stood up slowly, and dozens of palace maids dressed in luxurious silks quietly came forward, leading Ying Zheng to wash and eat, then take a shower and change clothes.

Time passed minute by minute, and this process took extremely slow time. Many palace ladies were silent and behaved calmly and solemnly.

The golden light falls from the thirty-six ten-meter-high wide windows in front. The golden dragon pattern and the ancient picture of the black bird appear lifelike under the sunlight.

In front of the vast front hall, tens of thousands of black-armored elites stood.

Each of them holds a five-foot-tall black gold black bird flag, with solemn expressions and solemn postures, just like statues, motionless at fixed positions apart from each other.

The evil spirit and the majesty merged, and the vast momentum soared into the sky above the square. The flags of the Qin Dynasty spread across the sky automatically without wind, making a hunting sound in the vast momentum.

The golden sunlight fell from high in the sky, passed through the heavy door, and fell into the main hall like hundreds of golden light pillars.

A series of transparent golden light pillars gradually rose and fell, finally covering Ying Zheng, making him feel like a dream, like a god coming to earth.

More than a dozen dressed-up palace maids came forward respectfully, took the robes belonging to the King of Qin, and began to change Ying Zheng's clothes.

This process is also extremely slow.

Nine huge golden black birds are embroidered on his black robe, and a total of ninety-nine tiny swimming dragons are engraved on the cuffs and hem of his clothes. The ancient picture of black birds flying over the sea, and the corners of the golden robe are also hidden in the turbulent waves. Under the dark waves.

The generous sleeves were blown up by the breeze, and an ancient jade bracelet was revealed on Ying Zheng's wrist. It was carved with complex patterns, which were mysterious and unusual, representing royal power and prosperity.

The entire hall was extremely solemn.

All the attendants and guards knelt on one knee respectfully, with a solemn and solemn posture.

Even Ying Zheng was briefly immersed in this vast tranquility.

After waiting for a full hour, Ying Zheng finally finished wearing all his clothes.

The golden sunshine shines on the dark king. He is obviously just a boy of about thirteen years old, but he carries an aura of pure royal power to the extreme.

His long hair was pulled up and tied at the back of his head with a jade hairpin. A pair of sword eyebrows were sheathed. His pupils as black as ink jade exuded a bright cold light, like a deep pool shrouded in mist, unfathomable.

Just looking at it was like a whirlpool, which seemed to be able to swallow up all their sights.

Seeing this scene, many of the palace ladies around them couldn't help but lower their heads, and there was a wave of panic in their hearts.

Is this really Lord Gongzi Zheng?

Why have there been so many changes in such a short period of time?

Before many of the palace maids had come to their senses, the voice of the Minister of Guanglu Temple outside rang out again!

“The time has come!”

“The ceremony begins!!”

Accompanied by a long and long chant, Ying Zheng's enthronement hall officially entered the next step!

Looking at the vast city in the distance, Ying Zheng looked solemn.

As the main figure in this enthronement ceremony, he naturally also knows something about a series of complicated etiquette!

Zhou Chi took the pavilion route from His Highness to Nanshan. The top of Biannan Mountain is regarded as the Que, which is the restoration road. Since ancient times, it has crossed the Wei River and belongs to Xianyang.

The main steps of this enthronement ceremony are roughly divided into three steps!

Apart from the initial bathing and changing, the most complicated step is this second step!

According to the etiquette of the Qin State's accession to the throne, he needs to start from the front hall of Xianyang Palace of the Qin Dynasty, cross the Longwu Gate, then pass through the Xuanfeng Palace, and walk through all the central halls!

Then we came to the altar of the Changming Palace in the middle. Under the playing of a group of musicians, we offered sacrifices with mountain springs and worshiped the ancient earth bodies in all directions and the land in all directions!

Then continue forward, walk across the rooftop, offer sacrifices with sky stones, worship the ten directions of the sky, and light incense to protect the national destiny!

Then after this, he needs to lead the civil and military officials to move forward.

After passing through the Great Qin Emperor's Palace, we arrived all the way to Xuanwu Gate in the east, walked out of the Imperial City, and arrived at the core area of ​​Xianyang City!

Here, General Ying Zheng and the Temple of Heaven in Xianyang read out the words of enthronement, greeted hundreds of officials, met hundreds of scholars, and many practicing sects, accepted the worship of all people, and then announced to the world, amnesty from all directions. , ascended the throne as King of Qin!

From now on, the enthronement ceremony is completely over!

During this process, many officials of the Qin Dynasty and those who came to watch the ceremony were in different positions because of their different status!

Just like the officials of Great Qin and the envoys of the six countries, they are all waiting on many roads within the imperial city.

The various schools of thought, the common people, and the Qi refiners were waiting outside the imperial city near the Temple of Heaven in the center of Xianyang.

Slowly recalling all this, Ying Zheng raised his feet and walked down the stairs.

Several guards stepped forward respectfully and stood a few steps away to protect him personally.

As Ying Zheng fell, the black-armored soldiers of Da Qin who were scattered around the front hall suddenly raised their flags.

Then a heavy pause!

‘Boom! ’

It’s as if the earth is shaking!

A shout, like a landslide and a tsunami, suddenly erupted from the front hall! !

“See!”

“Your Majesty!”

"See!"

"Your Majesty!"

The blood is boiling!

The vast shouts soar into the sky! The roaring flags are accompanied by the strong wind!

Rolling sound waves soar into the sky!

Countless soldiers from hundreds of battles shouted, with an exciting momentum!

With every step Ying Zheng takes, they will raise their flags, pause heavily, and shout angrily!

“See!”

“Your Majesty!”

Like thunder and trembling shouts rising to the sky!

Qi and blood are surging!

Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but get excited before facing such a huge scene!

The guards around him had bloodshot eyes and trembling all over!

Is this the method used by Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang?

Feeling the terrifying aura rising into the sky from all directions, Ying Zheng's eyes exploded with light.

In just a moment, Ying Zheng suppressed the restlessness in his body, and under the protection of the stars, he slowly moved forward, using Zhou Chi as the pavilion, and headed straight for Longwumen!

Five hundred steps from east to west, five thousand feet from north to south!

Surrounding this continuous palace are countless Da Qin cavalry!

Looking at the king who was walking calmly while shouting and roaring, countless soldiers had surprised looks in their eyes!

He is worthy of being the King of Qin!

Although he is still young, not yet in his prime years, he is able to stand as steady as Mount Tai in this vast momentum, and he already has the grace of the King of Qin!

This surprise soon turned into excitement and admiration in the eyes of many soldiers!

Although they were hinted by Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang to increase their momentum, this is what they had in mind!

After all, as the Great Qin Army, they still have a little understanding of the current situation of the Qin State. If they surrender to a weak king, even if they are still loyal, they will inevitably feel regretful!

But now, looking at the young man walking on the road with an unchanging face, calm steps, and a kingly look in every move, their eyes are bright!

“See!!”

“Your Majesty!!”

Landslide and tsunami!

Thousands of people chanted!

Along with Zhong Ming Ding Town, almost the entire Xianyang City can hear such terrifying cheers!

The flag is waving and the wind is rolling!

With this endless energy and blood, Ying Zheng moved forward and passed straight through the Longwu Gate.

Longwumen, although named after a gate, is actually two huge and magnificent palaces!

In these two palaces, located on the left and right sides of the main road of the imperial city, there is a group of soldiers wearing silver chain armor!

Countless soldiers were neatly arranged around, holding spears and flags in their hands, carrying long swords at their waists, and carrying heavy bows on their backs. Their armor was shining with an icy cold light in the sun!

In addition to these, there are many ancient chariots among these soldiers!

On these chariots, there are many soldiers kneeling on one knee, with many strong bows and crossbows placed in front of and around them!

Even not far away, there are hundreds of heavy-duty ballistae with arms spans of several meters!

As Ying Zheng approached, these soldiers also raised their heads.

The first moment they saw Ying Zheng, the eyes of these soldiers lit up!

Is this Gong Zizheng, the future King of Qin?

Although I have heard about it for a long time, when I saw it today, it seems that it is not as weak as the rumors. There seems to be a pure and extremely kingly demeanor in every move!

Thoughts were boiling, and their spears struck the ground!

‘Boom! ’

"See!"

"Your Majesty!"

The sound of thunder echoed in all directions, and an iron-blooded fighting spirit rose into the sky!

If the black-armored soldiers in the front hall are all well-trained elite warriors, then the soldiers wearing bright silver chainmail in front of them are all experienced battlefield veterans. Death!

Each of them carries blood on their bodies. They are genuine soldiers crawling out of the sea of ​​blood from the mountain of corpses!

These soldiers were not as tall as the black-armored soldiers, nor were they as neatly organized as they were. They stood there one by one, some tall, some short, some fat, some thin, not at all less orderly than the previous ones.

But the loyalty and bloodthirsty shown in their eyes are far beyond those of those black-armored guards countless times!

Every soldier carries an extremely surging evil spirit!

That is proof of hard work and survival in the hands of death on the battlefield!

Looking at these veterans, Ying Zheng’s eyes were sharp, and he wore a black robe with a hunting sound, walking on the dark road, majestic and solemn!

He walked extremely slowly, and although he was only a teenager, he already had the vague demeanor of a king of a country!

"See!"

"Your Majesty!"

After passing through Longwumen, Ying Zheng came to Xuanfeng Palace.

This is still a palace that is extremely glorious.

This is the place where many civil servants in the imperial city used to work. There are many government affairs that the civil servants here helped the kings of Qin to correct and handle.

The carvings here are exquisite and the patterns are everywhere.

When we got here, someone was already here.

These people are usually bureaucrats from all over the Qin Dynasty. They are the leaders of many places. They have great power in their respective regions.

But at this time, after they saw Ying Zheng for the first time, they all bent down and knelt on the ground!

"See!"

"Your Majesty!"

It was still a cry like a landslide and a tsunami!

Each of them was dressed in the most gorgeous clothes and looked solemn. After showering and changing clothes, we arrived from all over the country!

Just to see the new king ascend the throne!

"See!"

"Your Majesty!"

Everyone kowtowed and knelt down, and a solemn and dignified atmosphere spread here!

Ying Zheng never looked sideways and moved forward calmly, Along the way, thousands of people knelt down and worshiped.

After Ying Zheng left and left Xuanfeng Palace, many officials slowly stood up, but still did not dare to raise their heads. Their hands were still folded in front of them, with respectful eyes. Incomparable!

While they were excited, they were also a little confused!

Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. According to the rumors, Gong Zizheng, who grew up under the two mountains of Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang, does not seem to be as weak as the rumors!

On the contrary, he has a tall and straight figure and a resolute face. Although he is still young, his body behind the black gold dragon robe still exudes the majesty of a king that cannot be ignored!

Is this the future King of Qin?

I wonder how he should deal with the methods of the Prime Minister and Mrs. Huayang?

Ying Zheng did not know the thoughts of many officials.

He walked outside Xuanfeng Palace and continued to move forward.

Then slowly passed through all the central halls!

Along the way, the town of Zhongming and Ding was shouting and boiling!

Go straight to Changming Palace.

The moment Ying Zheng arrived at Changming Palace, the cries of landslides and tsunamis disappeared.

In their place were countless civil and military officials of Great Qin!

These civil and military officials are all the most important ministers and officials in Xianyang. Among them, the first ones he met were Lu Buwei and Lord Quanyang!

The two of them have high positions of authority and stand closest to the rooftop.

Behind them were densely packed civil and military officials, each of whom had tremendous power.

Far away from these people were the generals of Great Qin standing respectfully.

Here, Ying Zheng saw the Qin generals Meng Ao and Wang Jian, as well as Meng Wu and others for the first time.

"See you!"

"Your Majesty!"

A low and respectful voice echoed in front of the rooftop.

Different from the shouts of many soldiers, the shouts of these civil and military officials carried a deep intensity. Although they were not as enthusiastic as the previous soldiers, they had a scalp-numbing shock!

“See you, Your Majesty!”

The shouts were like waves, one higher than the other.

While everyone was shouting respectfully, many envoys from the Six Nations at the far back of the place frowned slightly.

Looking at the young man with a plain expression and handsome appearance, who showed no signs of expression in the face of landslides and tsunamis, they all became a little confused.

Is this the rumored Gongzi Zheng?

Does it seem a little different?

Faced with the obeisances of so many civil and military officials, he still remained so indifferent. If he hadn't forced himself to do so, his bearing and temperament would have been quite outstanding.

"Everyone is safe." Ying Zheng nodded slowly, wearing a black and gold black bird robe and making a hunting sound.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

The civil and military officials slowly stood up.

Lu Buwei and Quanyang Jun are also on the list.

Looking at the two people at the front, the many envoys from the six countries raised their mouths slightly.

It doesn’t matter what your demeanor is

In this enthronement ceremony, Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang are destined to compete for each other.

The show is about to begin.

The envoys of the six countries are thinking silently here.

Ying Zheng, on the other hand, slowly stepped forward, came to the Changming Palace altar, and raised the sacrificial object.

The breeze blows on your face, and thousands of people admire you.

He is about to worship the ancient earth bodies from all directions and the earth gods from all directions here.

As Ying Zheng held the jade cauldron, lit incense, and filled the mountain spring to offer sacrifices, grand and majestic palace music also sounded in the surrounding palaces.

The time-honored chimes and ancient melody are heavy and solemn, unusually solemn.

Thousands of palace musicians played music with their bare hands, weaving a magnificent ancient ceremony.

Ying Zheng slowly stepped forward, holding the sacrificial object in his hand, and on the altar, he worshiped the land in all directions.

However.

Just as Ying Zheng was holding the sacrificial objects and stepping forward to offer sacrifices, his eyes gradually became cold.

Because for some unknown reason, the eunuch who was supposed to present the words of worship for the sacrifice never arrived.

Time passes minute by minute.

The bells are ringing and the cauldrons are shaking, the music is endless, but no one moves.

Ying Zheng just stood on the altar, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

What's going on?

Where is the eunuch who offered the sacrifice?

When several Guanglu Temple officials in charge of etiquette saw this scene, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Looking at Ying Zheng standing there, many officials and envoys from the Six Nations were a little dazed at first.

But soon, they felt a strange atmosphere

What about the sacrificial words?

Amidst the excitement of the music, a strange atmosphere gradually spread in front of the entire Changming Palace altar.

At this moment, whether it was the envoys of the Six Kingdoms or many officials of the Qin Dynasty, , all eyes fell on Lu Buwei and Quanyang Jun at the front!

The expressions of the envoys from the Six Nations gradually began to become a little strange.

As expected!

Is this

starting to cause trouble?

On the altar, Ying Zheng also looked down.

A pair of eyes like polar ice caves, bitingly cold.

Lu Buwei was dressed in a luxurious robe, with white hair blowing in the wind. He wore a jade hairpin crown and his face looked as usual.

As for Quanyang Jun, there was a slight change in his face that was not easy to detect.

Time passes minute by minute.

Still no one came on stage.

Just when everyone was holding their breath and not daring to breathe, and many envoys from the six countries were squinting their eyes to watch the show.

Someone finally took action.

It was an old man with white hair.

Lü Buwei, who was standing at the front with a normal expression, finally slowly put a hand into his cuff.

Then he took out a sacrificial speech in full view of everyone.

Then he stepped forward with great respect and raised his hands.

“Replying to the king, Guanglu Temple was negligent and the tribute words never arrived, and Wei Chen still has a copy of the sacrificial words here for backup.”

"To be used during sacrifices."
