Since the Qin State came out of the east, every year... considerable achievements of war have been spread to Xianyang, and the government and the public are rejoicing, especially when the Qin State has successively destroyed the Zhao State and the Wei State.
Although Qin and Zhao have the same origin, if this is the case, then most of the hundreds of vassal states that have been at war since the Spring and Autumn Period are vassal states with the surname Ji. How can this be seen?
To Zhao Guo!
This is the hatred that started during the reign of King Zhaoxiang of the Qin State. After the Changping War and the Handan War, both sides suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties and over one million civilians. It was a battle that severely damaged the national power of the two countries.
Qin and Zhao were at odds with each other!
Fortunately, although the succession of thrones in the Qin State was chaotic after King Zhaoxiang, Wen Xinhou Lu Buwei stabilized the Qin State's political affairs, so that during the years when the Qin King was in charge of the throne, the Qin State's national power was leisurely restored.
However, the State of Zhao was deeply involved in political chaos.
For Wei!
That is an old enemy, that is a long-lasting hatred.
Before Shang Jun's reform, the Qin State had been suppressed by the Wei State for nearly a hundred years. In the early years of Wei Wenhou, Wei Wuhou, and Wei King Hui, the Qin State had to live in a remote corner and not become a great country.
Sometimes, after Shang Jun's reform, the biggest crisis has always been the Wei State. The Empress Dowager Xuan passed away, and Ranghou no longer existed. The power was reduced, and distant relations were made and close attacks were made. The Wei State was not a big problem.
Zhao State was destroyed, and Yan fought with it. The grievances of the Battle of Handan were settled.
Since Wei became a vassal, the old Qin people expressed silent contempt for this powerful overlord in the past. The country was destroyed, and the monarchs and ministers were escorted to Xianyang in bronze prison cars with unkempt faces.
King of Wei?
Is that King Wei?
The old Qin people laughed and talked to each other.
In the court, although the monarchs and ministers would not show their emotions to the public, they would gather together to drink in wine shops, sing songs in the long streets, and dance in social fires. It was also a big banquet for several days.
Yan country!
The document of surrender has long been available, and even the documents of attachment have been sent. Although King Yan of the cold land of Liaodong was not captured, it is said that Yan Dan who dared to assassinate the king has been killed.
It can be regarded as avenging a very evil act.
"Sir, Xianyang here...is getting more and more noisy."
The lightly armored soldiers cleared the way, the high-speed chariots passed, and the flags were flying. Although the ceremonial power of the Marquis of Che was not fully unfolded, but... with the word "dao" on the black flag.
It's enough.
In the Qin State, there is only one person in the whole country who can clear the way with banners and has that word.
Entering from the south gate of Xianyang, going all the way north, wherever you pass, everyone who comes and goes in front of the street avoids it. No one dares to cause trouble. The title... is the most powerful say in the Qin State.
Rolling up the corner of the car curtain, he looked at Xianyang, who had not returned for a long time. Nongyu spoke softly, and his spiritual sense spread, and he could feel the difference of Xianyang today.
Zhu Xia Taiban started, and for merchants, a stable place was naturally the best place to do business. Although Qin's laws were harsh, it was still much better than a chaotic place.
In addition, the wealthy households and wealthy businessmen who have been migrating from various places have added a different kind of bustle to Xianyang. The wide streets... have all been paved with water and stone.
So... it's flatter.
It further highlights the atmosphere of the first city in Zhuxia today.
"Xianyang has been expanding outwards. Before going east, there were statistics in the national government. There were more than 80,000 households in Xianyang, and the number of residents exceeded 500,000."
"Now, it should be more than 600,000, or even more. In the future, it is possible to exceed one million here in Xianyang."
Over the course of time, when Xianyang was at its most prosperous, it had more than 150,000 households and a population of more than one million, making it truly the number one city in the Xia Dynasty.
Now... Xianyang is heading in that direction.
Sitting comfortably in the carriage, in September, the atmosphere in Guanzhong has become a little cooler, not as hot as the previous months, although it is still hot as before at noon.
If you are in harmony with the Tao, you will not be afraid of cold or heat, but cold and heat really exist.
Although the little girl worked hard, she was still a little short of the ninth level. Therefore, Xue'er was left to accompany her while she went north to Xianyang with Yunshu, Yan Lingji, Nong Yu and others.
"More than a million people?"
"Then... Xianyang at that time was probably more than a hundred miles wide."
Nongyu looked surprised and a little surprised. Xianyang was already more than sixty miles in radius, which was already very big. Linzi of Qi State was almost at the same level.
But looking at the future, it is indeed as the master said, Xianyang will continue to expand, and it will become more vast, with more households and more bustling in the future.
"Such a grand occasion, I'm afraid Mr. Shang has never thought of it."
Zhou Qing also sighed.
I have stayed in Xianyang for many years, and I have seen the development of Xianyang. The area is getting bigger and bigger, and the population is getting bigger and bigger.
No wonder Brother Wang has the idea of building a new imperial palace south of the Weishui River in the future.
"But..., Young Master, the people here in Xianyang are becoming more and more chaotic. Confucianism is confusing the law with literature, and chivalrous people are violating the law with martial arts. Are there really a lot of warriors here?"
"I don't know if he is from Baijia!"
Chiyan was wearing a skirt and shirt, and she was all enchanting. She was lying on her side on the couch. Although she didn't look outside the car, her spiritual sense had already enveloped everything, which was because of the Lotus Transformation Pill.
The cultivation level at the entrance level is completely stable, and those warriors hiding on both sides of the road cannot hide at all, unless they can at least practice secret techniques that can hide them at a deeper level.
"Dharma Master!"
"If those people are honest, it will be fine."
Zhou Qing has naturally sensed the existence of those people a long time ago, but...if they don't make mistakes, Qin's legal principles can't do anything to them unless they make mistakes first.
It doesn't matter whether you are from a hundred families or not.
"You really made the decision to leave Lin'er and Du Nu to Yingge and the others for training."
Hearing Yan Lingji's words made Zhou Qing think of another thing.
Before leaving, Yan Lingji gave Mo Yu Qilin and Du Nu to Yingge and the others for training, hoping to quickly improve their practice.
This was somewhat beyond Zhou Qing's expectations.
After all, Yan Ling has been very protective of Mo Yu Qilin for the past few months.
"Lin'er has been staying in Baiyue in southern Xinjiang for a long time, so he should take a look at it in the Xia Dynasty."
"While in Hexi, I once heard what Yingge said about the experience of the ghost mountain and blood story at night. It was the fastest for Lin'er and others to adapt to Zhuxia. After all, he...can't stay with the slave family forever."
"The slave family is still ready to have children to serve the young master."
Mentioning this point, Yan Lingji couldn't help but speak charmingly. She slowly sat up with her soft body, leaned on the young master's shoulder, and spoke crisply. She still understood whether it was light or serious.
After finding his younger brother, he solved a knot in his mind, but... the knot in his heart no longer existed, and he also had plans for Lin'er. He obtained the cultivation elixir for him from the young master, and obtained the "Shadowless Truth" for him.
through".
Seek training from Ying Ge and the others.
Already...not easy.
To the young master, it's just a small thing, but... all things are yin and yang, everything is like this, Lin'er should have his own life, and he should also have his own life.
It's great to be by your side.
"Don't worry about Yingge and the others."
Zhou Qing nodded, it was great that Yan Lingji could think of this.
"You can return to the mansion later."
"It is already late, I am afraid that I will have to eat in the palace."
When you return to Xianyang, you should go to Xianyang Palace to see you politely.
"Yes, sir."
Nongyu nodded, naturally knowing this, it has always been like this.
Yan Ling also hummed softly.
…
…
"Tao...Dao Wuzhenhou, Tianzong Xuanqingzi!"
"He has returned to Xianyang!"
"These days...there are quite a few important officials from the Qin State who have returned to Xianyang."
Looking at the word "Dao" imprinted on the black flag, after staying in Xianyang for such a long time, I naturally understood who was in that group of carriages and horses. In Xianyang, the only Chehou in the Qin Kingdom... Wuzhenhou.
The pair of carriages and horses disappeared completely from the depths of his eyes. The shops and wine shops on both sides of the road he had passed before were restored to their original appearance, and the sight lines intertwined in the void.
It is actually rumored that Marquis Wu Zhen's cultivation level is extremely high. Sure enough, his words will be clearly observed by people within a hundred feet, and people within a hundred feet will feel it. So... he should restrain himself.
Now in early September, Marquis Wu Zhen also returned to Xianyang.
In the past few days, several important ministers from Longxi who had won the Qin Dynasty entered Xianyang. Coupled with the news from Xianyang Palace, there will be a large court meeting this year to discuss important matters in the central government.
An important minister must be in charge.
As for what was being discussed?
Then, it is obvious that only the affairs of Chu and Qi are concerned, and the rest of the affairs do not seem to be called important and grand.
"I don't know whether Qin will attack Qi or Chu next."
In a random wine shop, old Qin people chatted and laughed.
Although it is a choice, the result is certain.
That is, the people of Lao Qin will defeat all obstacles, completely destroy Qi and Chu, and achieve great success in the Xia and Wancheng.
"It must be Qi State!"
"The hard part should be left to the end and chewed slowly!"
One person responded with a smile.
Destroy Qi first, then you can concentrate on attacking Chu.
This is probably not true.
"rational!"
The person next to him immediately laughed and responded.
"Everything is easy in the beginning and difficult in the end, as it should be."
Needless to say, there are quite a few that fit this statement.
"..."
"That's not necessarily true. I'd say it's possible to attack Chu first."
When people discuss things, they should regard themselves as yin and yang, or how many there are, but they are ultimately different.
"Oh, haha, why?"
One person asked with a smile.
"The current strength of the Chu State is not weak. Sure enough, if we let it go for two years, it may become stronger. In the future... it will be a bit difficult to attack the Chu State again."
"It's better to just destroy the Chu State first. As for the Qi State, it will be easier."
The person who spoke before thought for a moment and then responded.
"Then... destroy Qi first. Qin is more powerful. Wouldn't it be better to concentrate on destroying Chu?"
The person who initially spoke disagreed.
"Well..., I'm just saying it's possible."
The man smiled sarcastically.
"In any case, it still depends on the king's decision."
"..."
They are just chatting here, that is, the atmosphere in Xianyang City has been a little loose in recent years, otherwise... it may really cause a lot of trouble.
Naturally, it was not their turn to make a decision on whether to attack Chu or Qi.
****
"Wu Zhenhou!"
Before the carriage and horses entered the main entrance of Xianyang Palace, there seemed to be someone waiting there. He was wearing silver armor and had a handsome face. Judging from his rank, he was a palace guard.
Who is it if it’s not Li Zhong?
In recent years, he has been by Brother Wang's side and deserves to be reused, not to mention that Li Xin and his brother have shone brightly in the army.
"No need to be polite."
"...There are actually more people in Xianyang Palace."
Every time I return to Xianyang Palace, I have a new feeling. I get off the car, wearing a green uniform, with my hair tied up and a crown, and a jade belt around my waist. I look at Li Zhong and his group in front of me, wave my hands, and walk
Enter Xianyang Palace.
His spiritual sense moved slightly, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he was... affected quite a bit.
This point has been seen in the scrolls preserved by the Yin Yang family. Since the existence of human tribes in ancient times, each major tribe has its own totem.
Totems are strange spiritual objects selected by the tribe from the nature of heaven and earth as the guardian force of the tribe. They may be mountains, rivers, vegetation, birds and beasts, or the sun, moon and stars...
All exist one by one.
After worshiping every day, coupled with the ancient ancestors' understanding of the nature of heaven and earth, they unconsciously transformed all the totems into mystical arts, and generated the totem's mystical power with every movement of their hands and feet.
However... in the process of fighting between tribes, the powerful tribe annexed the weak tribe. In order to show its strength, it transformed the weak totem into its own body.
At this point... the most powerful totems in Zhu Xia appeared, based on powerful ancient beasts, based on twelve powerful totems, transformed into dragon totems, based on the mysterious skills inherited by hundreds of schools, and sometimes the phantom of dragons appeared, all like this
.
And Shen Yu held a giant ax to divide the nine states, used the nine tripods to suppress the mountains and rivers, gathered the power of all directions, blessed the inheritance of the Five Emperors, and transformed the tribal totems into the totems of a country.
There are no specific details recorded in the scrolls of the Yin Yang family, but since Shen Yu, the core of a country's capital city has its own totem creatures, and the dragon's movement manifests in the void, just like the spirit of the Taoist.
Its power is strange.
Mysterious strength for non-warriors!
It is not the power of a warrior’s spiritual sense!
It is not the power of heaven and earth!
…
But it definitely comes from heaven and earth and exists at the core of a country. It suppresses cultivators quite a bit. Its power is as powerful as Xu Ming's, and it suppresses the power of the same magical spiritual awareness even more.
Last year, when the Yan State was plotting against the Qin Dynasty, at the critical moment, Yin Yang Dongjun activated the power with a secret method and suppressed the power of the Brahma Lin Puba Pestle held by Han Shen.
And then kill it.
Before I broke into the Hedao, I just felt that there was something different here in Xianyang, different from other cities in the Qin Kingdom. Now it seems...that power really exists?
"Is it the power agreed upon by Kyushu?"
Zhou Qing whispered in his heart.
In any case, looking at the long history of time, Da Xia, Da Shang, Da Zhou and even Da Qin are obviously different from each subsequent dynasty.
The sum of the years of the four dynasties is as good as the sum of all the dynasties of later generations?
Isn’t that strange?
"In any case, the Kyushu Agreement has indeed disappeared over the years!"
Perhaps the Kyushu Agreement is very strange, but based on the content of the Kyushu Agreement, there is no doubt that... starting from the Great Qin Dynasty, the Kyushu Agreement did not exist. As far as Zhou Qing is concerned, that agreement should not exist either.
The agreement Shen Yu made was to stabilize the land of Jiuzhou and use the power of strange beasts to suppress the mountains, rivers and rivers in various places, so that the tribes would no longer fight against each other and the Xia would no longer be in chaos.
But nothing can be stopped by a simple agreement.
He shook his head and didn't think about those things. Although his spiritual sense was affected, he kept his mind calm and guarded his heart, and his heavenly heart controlled all things. He was still worry-free. After one year, the number of guards and people in Xianyang Palace increased significantly.
"Marquis Wu Zhen really has insight into Octavia."
"Since last year, people from the Wei and Yan palaces have been filling Xianyang Palace, and there are also a large number of items from other countries. Therefore, the Black Dragon Army has added three layers to patrol the palace."
