Yan Lingji was pleasantly surprised. The various powers wielded by the young master in front of her were actually the fusion of void and reality. She could control everything and do whatever she wanted, and...it also touched the mind.
There are all kinds of wonderful and powerful powers that I have never understood yet, but the young master has already exerted them, which is still the level that I will reach in the future. How can I not be happy? That kind of power is really huge.
"nature."
"After you have learned the two volumes of mystical skills that I passed on to you, you can try to take the Fire Cloud Pill to break into the mystical entrance. If you can step through the virtual and the real, and reach the wonders of space, you will be able to achieve great success in the near future."
After removing the mysterious power from all around and returning to Yuanshi, Zhou Qing nodded. If the path is not bad, it can be done naturally. Now, what Yan Lingji lacks is the foundation, and the power of the three elements of essence, energy and spirit has not reached a perfect limit.
The two volumes of Xuan Gong in "Yi Jin" and "Xi Marrow" are enough to make up for it.
"Senior brother, what about...my way?"
When he saw the charming woman beside his senior brother, the bright eyes of the girl in green flickered. That method was indeed powerful, but... it was not suitable for me. Now that I have just entered the realm of spiritual transformation, I wonder if my senior brother has anything to say.
I never asked before, but now I want to know.
"Your way?"
"When you have completed your practice at the level of spiritual transformation, you may know that based on your current practice, there are many principles. You can follow the paths of Taoist sages of all ages. The key is which one you choose."
"Let's go. Let's rest today. Tomorrow I will talk with Gui Gu and you two will listen to the doctrine."
Xiaomeng had just stepped into the realm of God Transformation not long ago, so there was no need to think too far now. It was the best policy to stay on the road in front of her steadily. He said with a smile to the girl, turned around, and the purple mysterious light flickered under his feet.
I have to say.
Inside the Gui Valley, it is quite quiet. With the vacant residence left by the Gui Valley for hundreds of years and the costumes of Yan Lingji, everything is not complicated. Morning classes, closing eyes and meditating, gathering the vitality of heaven and earth.
Heaving and swallowing naturally.
The spiritual awareness spreads and disappears in a flash.
"Well, Gai Nie's breath seems to have disappeared in Ghost Valley."
A little surprised, in Nuo Da's Ghost Valley, there was still the aura of Gai Nie yesterday, but now it has disappeared. It is absolutely impossible to say that he avoided his search.
I think he went out.
Without thinking too much, I returned to practice.
******
The State of Yan, which has inherited the country for 800 years, is about to surrender. This matter has long been spread in Xianyang and is known to the old Qin people in Xianyang. If it were a few years ago, the old Qin people would be even more surprised.
After all, in the hundreds of years since the Warring States Period, the Qin State has never truly destroyed the great country of Shandong.
But since South Korea was attacked and destroyed, the Zhao State, which could compete with Qin decades ago, was destroyed. This surprised the old Qin people and directly revealed the weakness of the Shandong states.
Those countries of ten thousand chariots are no longer the kingdoms of ten thousand chariots in the past. They are also weak countries that can be defeated by Qin in a single battle. However, the surrender of Yan still made many old Qin people happy.
In any case, the Yan State can be regarded as the vassal state with the oldest inheritance among the Xia Dynasties today.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by the Qin State. If the Yan State surrendered, it would mean that the Ji family had completely surrendered to the Qin people.
In the past few days, all the regulations have been drawn up by the government, in order to summon the envoys of Yan State with the courtesy of the imperial court in Xianyang Palace. The prime minister, Chang Pingjun, is in charge of everything, and many deeds have assisted.
"Your Majesty, I wonder where the Yan State envoy is now?"
In the Zhaode Palace, Gongsun Li has been in a pretty good mood recently. The envoy from Yan State's surrender turned out to be his senior brother, and it seems that things are really going in the direction he expected.
One day, the king also promised that after the surrender of Yan State, he would call his senior brother to come to Xianyang to serve as an official. It would be better in the future, and he would be able to see his senior brother more often, both within Zhuxia and outside Xianyang Palace.
The only one closest to me is senior brother.
"Haha, there's no need to worry, Li'er."
"According to the news from the secret guards, Li Sitong, Han Shen and the others can reach Hangu Pass today. They will rush to Xianyang tomorrow, and then rest for a few days to find a good time to surrender at Xianyang Palace."
Seeing the faces of the people around him full of joy and their expressions glowing with a different kind of charm for the past few days, Qin Wangzheng was also quite affected. He looked at the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms in the courtyard and spoke slowly.
Envoys from the State of Yan will appear in Xianyang soon.
"Your Majesty, after Yan surrenders, Qin will not kill Yan, right?"
Gongsun Li's dexterous figure approached the cherry tree, holding it up with one hand, and pieces of cherry blossoms fell on her hand. She smelled it gently, and a different kind of fragrance filled the air. She liked this rare tree very much.
Fortunately, the Yin Yang family has the means to plant them in Xianyang Palace.
Thinking about what happened after the surrender of the Yan Kingdom, in recent years, whether it was the destruction of Han or the destruction of Zhao, there have been a lot of bloody killings, and Gongsun Li couldn't bear it.
"As long as the Yan State sincerely surrenders, I will naturally not touch the Yan State at all."
"I also attach great importance to the surrender of Yan State. If it is successful, it will be a subjugation without a fight. I think it is an example for other countries. There is no way that Wei State will do the same in the future."
A strange color flashed across Qin Wangzheng's expression, and he responded affirmatively.
"It will definitely happen. In fact, all the people of Xia do not want to continue fighting. If the Yan State surrenders to Qin this time, then, then, we can really set an example for other countries as the king said."
When Gongsun Li heard this, she turned slightly and said in affirmation.
"It would be great if people from all the countries in Shandong were as reasonable as Li'er."
Qin Wangzheng nodded.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Lieutenant is asking for an audience at Xingle Palace."
When Qin Wangzheng and the two were chatting happily in Zhaode Palace, one person came in, bowed his hands and said something.
"Guowei."
"I will be here shortly."
Qin Wangzheng heard this and nodded.
Immediately, without staying any longer in Zhaode Palace, he left the harem and went straight into Xingle Palace. As he walked along, he saw that the patrols in the harem were much tighter, which was exactly what he wanted.
"Oh, Prime Minister, the state captain is here in person. Is there something big going on?"
When the palace slaves sent word before, they only said that Wei Liao had something to do, but when they entered the Xingle Palace, the Prime Minister Chang Ping Jun, Ting Wei Wang Wan and others were also there, which made Qin Wangzheng curious.
Walking in front of the hall, he asked casually.
"Your Majesty, the sword of King Qin has been forged."
Lieutenant Wei Liaozi, wearing a black brocade robe, looked at the appearance of the king, with a smile on his face. He took a long wooden box from the side, held it in both hands, and took a small step forward.
"Qin Wang Sword!"
"So fast?"
King Qin’s Sword!
It is a sword forged by the kings since Duke Xiao of Qin. Every king of Qin will have his own sword of King Qin, which is regarded as a symbol of the new dynasty. It will be used as a sacrificial object in the future and is regarded as noble.
Of course, for hundreds of years, except for the Mugong Zhen Qin Sword, which was a symbol of the rise and power of the Qin State, no other sword of the King of Qin could match it.
The reason was that for the first time when a great power from Shandong surrendered to Xianyang Palace, someone proposed to cast the sword of the King of Qin, thinking that it was a solemn etiquette. The King of Qin also agreed with this, although he rarely used the sword.
His eyes fell on the black wooden box in Wei Liaozi's hand, and he took two steps forward.
"The swords used by your Majesty in recent years have been damaged, and they are not the swords of the King of Qin made under the supervision of the Shaofu. This sword was personally made by the craftsmen headed by Mrs. Xu. Both the quality and the style are in accordance with the requirements of the Majesty.
The Ritual Supervisor of the Great Qin Dynasty."
"Listen to what Mrs. Xu said, this sword is somewhat similar to the Tianwen Sword from the Chu Kingdom."
Wei Liaozi held the wooden box with both hands and allowed the king to open the lid, revealing the sword body inside. At the same time, he said the information about the sword and looked around. The other people also looked over.
"Chu Guotian Wenjian!"
"As expected, one day, I will hold the Tianwen Sword in my hand to compare with this sword."
Open the lid of the wooden box and look at a long sword inside. The scabbard is wrapped in cowhide with bronze. The three-thirds wide sword grid and the six-inch-long hilt are both made of bronze.
The sword body with sheath is about four inches wide and four feet long, which is much longer than the three feet and three inches of an ordinary sword, and weighs about ten kilograms. Except for the two crystal black jade inlays on both sides of the sword, the whole body is simple and clean, with a powerful and solemn look.
The energy is extraordinary.
"What a sword!"
Qin Wangzheng's eyes lit up. He had already taken out the sword from the wooden box with one hand and held it on the sword grid. He exerted force on his wrist and the sword did not move at all. He looked at Wei Liaozi out of curiosity.
"This sword is slightly longer. Therefore, when Shaofu made the sword, in order to prevent the sword from slipping out of the scabbard easily, he made the hidden buckle a little deeper."
Before Wei Liaozi finished speaking, Qin Wangzheng in front of him had already drawn out his long sword. The cold light of the autumn water refracted like water and fell on the Xingle Palace, bursting out with a sound of gold and iron.
"This sword is indeed a little long. It's really not easy for me to pull it out."
Qin Wangzheng nodded. It is not difficult to draw out the long sword. It is not that easy to draw out the sword body completely, unless you stretch your arms extremely long. But when the sword is normal, you don't need to draw it out, so you don't do it.
worry.
"This sword is very good. I will give it to you as a reward for your Majesty."
He did not pull out all the long swords, but put them back. He waved his hand to summon a waiter and carried the black wooden box into the side hall.
"A few days later, the State of Yan surrendered, and the great crown and sword came to the court, which should demonstrate the great civil and military achievements of the Qin Dynasty."
Beside, Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, smiled.
"Hahaha, Da Qin has demonstrated its civil and military achievements."
"But... the Pingtian crown, Xuanfu brocade robe, black dragon brocade boots, plus this heavy long sword, the civil and military achievements of the Great Qin Dynasty can be a heavy burden."
Feeling the weight of the long sword before, Qin Wangzheng smiled dumbly. It was a huge challenge for him, but... it is indeed important to crown the sword before the court.
"Ha ha."
"..."
Hearing what the king said, all the officials in the palace also laughed.
"Your Majesty, a few days later, the State of Yan surrendered. I think there is one more thing that can be done. We can jointly promulgate the State of Qin and inform all the Xia. This should be a major event."
After a few breaths, Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, came out of the queue and said a deep word.
As soon as the words came out, the entire hall fell into a shallow silence.
"Oh, what's the matter?"
The government of the Qin Dynasty was strange.
"Your Majesty, the State of Yan surrenders. During this time, among the six kingdoms of Xia, Shandong, the land of the Three Kingdoms will be included in the land of the Qin State. Among the three lands of the Jin State, the Wei State has nothing to fear. Qi State has good relations with Qin State, and Chu State has good relations with Qin State.
The country is currently experiencing internal troubles."
"As expected, the Qin Dynasty will have no obstacles. I think that we can take advantage of this grand opportunity to establish a crown prince, stabilize the country, calm people's hearts, and serve as a model of etiquette for all Xia."
Facing the king's gaze, Xiong Qi told the matter in a leisurely manner.
Then, the hall became even quieter.
"Establishing a crown prince will stabilize the country and calm people's hearts."
"Oh, maybe it's Guo Wei, Ting Wei and others who feel the same way?"
The smile on King Qin's face slowly faded away, and he returned to the initial calm. He murmured to himself, feeling something strange in the hall, and his eyes fell on Wei Liaozi and others.
This matter... I'm afraid it's not Xiong Qi who has any advice.
"The king now has many heirs, and it is time to choose one to be the crown prince."
"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, many vassal states have been in political chaos due to the crown prince's affairs. Although the king is in his prime,... establishing a crown prince does not undermine his majesty, but can stabilize the foundation of the country."
"It is also a testimony to the continuation of Da Qin's inheritance."
Wei Liaozi responded seriously, and he naturally agreed with the matter of establishing the crown prince. No matter from any aspect, establishing the crown prince was beneficial and harmless. Today's kings control the government as they please.
Even if the crown prince is appointed, there will not be much interference. On the contrary, having a choice for the crown prince can cut off some people's thoughts and cause some chaos in the young master of Da Qin.
"Your Majesty, the etiquette of the Qin State has been passed down for hundreds of years, so... it is time for a crown prince to establish it."
"The Prime Minister's words are very true. When the State of Yan surrenders and the State of Qin establishes a crown prince, it will be a double joy."
Tingwei Wang Wan also suggested that he should be in charge of the laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty. From this aspect, it was necessary to establish a crown prince.
Qin Wangzheng listened quietly in front of the hall and did not respond much. His eyes passed over the faces of the ministers one by one. Although not all of them made a sound, their meanings were obvious.
"Oh, that's it. Who among the princes under the throne of the widow can stand up?"
After pondering for a moment, Qin Wangzheng looked at Lord Changping again.
"This..., Your Majesty, for three generations, there have only been three choices for the position of crown prince. The three choices are to choose the elder, to establish the direct descendant, and to establish the virtuous person."
"Nowadays, in the Queen's harem, there is no honorable queen, and there should be no legitimate sons. Therefore, the order of eldest and youngest should come first. Among the sons, Mr. Fusu is the eldest, and he has always had a virtuous reputation."
"I think Mr. Fusu can be the crown prince."
Xiong Qi hesitated a little, but still told the story of what he had planned with his ministers before. He was the chief of all officials, and this matter was within the scope of his responsibilities. After all, it was the prime minister's responsibility to stabilize the country.
It will be of great use to take advantage of the opportunity offered by the State of Yan to surrender.
"Fusu is the leader and has a reputation as a virtuous person?"
"What do you think, sir?"
The King of Qin's political appearance was full of smiles. Lord Changping wanted to propose Fusu as the crown prince, and the reasons were quite good.
"Your Majesty, I think this is okay."
Wei Liaozi expressed his opinion.
I have learned about Mr. Fusu. He is a good young man who is eager to learn and make progress. He also has many people who like him in the court. Whether it is Marquis Wu Zhen or Lord Changping, he is also optimistic about him.
"The Queen's harem does not have the dignity of a queen. The elders and younger ones can be given priority, and Fusu should be the first choice."
Tingwei Wang Wan took a step closer.
"Master Fusu, it's okay!"
"..."
The rest of the ministers looked at each other, and some of the central ministers made suggestions, but in fact... their voices were irrelevant. Coming here today was also a contribution to the government. They took small steps and bowed.
