"I remember... when Marquis Wu Cheng led his troops to defeat the Chu army, the Chu State ceased to exist, Xiong Qi died, Xiang Yan surrendered, and many members of the Xiang family fled."
"Been hunting them down in recent years!"
"But they didn't gain much. Those people were very hidden, and they seemed to have a close relationship with the farmers in the Hundreds of Scholars."
"Otherwise, how can we escape the pursuit of the county!"
"Zhao Gao, after I, Taiyue, am enthroned, the farm affairs will be settled as soon as possible!"
"Give me the results I want!"
The Qin Dynasty attacked and destroyed various countries, and the descendants of various royal families fled. Many people died, and even more survived. Those people did not accept the teachings of the Qin Dynasty and wanted to return to the feudal state.
His heart should be punished!
However, the land in Shandong is too big, and the time under Qin's rule was short, so he could not catch everything, and the effectiveness of the pursuit was not as good as in Guanzhong.
Guanzhong has been infiltrated with Legalism for many years.
Shandong...for example, provide good governance.
"Here!"
"I will not disappoint His Majesty the First Emperor!"
Zhao Gao didn't say much and just spoke deeply.
"Um!"
Ying Zheng nodded.
…
…
"Sir, why don't those Ph.D. and Confucian scholars leave?"
Mid-morning!
The whole foot of the main mountain of Taiyue.
It has been completely cleaned!
After tens of thousands of people worked for many days, the entire Taiyue Mountain Road was opened up. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it was all made of stone, water, stone, sand and soil... mixed together to form the shape of a staircase.
According to the edict, today is the time to climb Mount Taiyue and perform the ceremony.
The gift of Zen!
Divided into sealing ceremony and Zen ceremony!
The sealing ceremony is to offer sacrifices to the emperor, and the Zen ceremony is to offer sacrifices to the queen!
Savoring the food on the table in front of her, Xue'er's cold eyes fell on the distance, which was a group of PhD students crowded together.
A total of seventy-two Ph.D.
Because he did not show the great courtesy required by His Majesty and refused to leave, he was slightly punished by His Majesty.
For example, at this moment, seventy-two doctors are crowded together, eating their meals in an overcrowded manner. In addition, it is early summer, and everyone is already sweating.
Even so, the seventy-two people still seemed to be talking and laughing.
I have to say, those people... are unique.
"If you don't want to leave, just stay."
Zhou Qing also glanced at those people.
The seventy-two doctors are of no great use. It is absolutely impossible to say that they cannot come up with a set of rituals for conferring Zen.
Even so, they are still unwilling to offer a unified ceremony.
The problem has been explained.
"It will take at least several hours to climb the mountain from Taiyue Zhiyang."
Climbing!
Yan Lingji felt that it was a chore. If His Majesty was not here, if only they and the Young Master were here, they would reach the top of Taiyue Mountain directly.
Now, in accordance with the ceremonial edict issued by His Majesty yesterday, we must slowly climb the mountain and reach the top of Mount Tai step by step.
Walk up step by step.
It's definitely not a walk up all at once. There is a stopping place along the way, I'm afraid it will be noon.
"These Ph.D. and Confucian scholars... I don't know what your Majesty will do with them!"
Ji Yanran was also there.
It is a rare thing to be able to see His Majesty the First Emperor ascending Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.
As for the group of doctorate people in the distance, it is impossible to say that they are ignorant of current affairs. They are all so old and they are still doctors.
They are not mediocre people.
The only possibility... is that it has other purposes.
And His Majesty the First Emperor also knew.
His Majesty the First Emperor was able to wipe out all the countries with his iron-blooded attitude and unite all directions. Ruoyan was a gentle and benevolent monarch.
I’m afraid there aren’t many in this area!
Iron-blooded!
overbearing!
…
That's the truth!
"What do you think will be done with them?"
Zhou Qing smiled.
Those who know the current affairs are heroes. If you don't know the current affairs... then it will be in danger.
"I hope... His Majesty the First Emperor will show mercy!"
Ji Yanran shook her head.
What His Majesty the First Emperor wants is for Qilu to bow his head, not for the land of Qilu to negotiate terms with him.
If those doctors directly come up with the grand ceremony of consecration that His Majesty the First Emperor wanted, then those doctors will definitely be rewarded heavily.
His Majesty the First Emperor is also happy!
Everyone is happy.
Nowadays...it's difficult.
His Majesty the First Emperor does not want to see these doctors.
These people do not show true great etiquette, and are obviously dissatisfied with His Majesty the First Emperor.
"Hahaha!"
"Those people...don't need to pay attention."
Zhou Qing laughed.
"Son."
"Not everyone says that Fu Nian, the head of Confucianism, is a smart man."
"Most of these doctors are from Confucianism. Is this the idea of Master Fu Nian?"
Yun Shu was waiting on the side, changing some food at any time, adding more, and hearing what the young master and Miss Yanran were talking about.
I couldn't help but think of another thing.
The current head of Confucianism is Fu Nian.
These Ph.D. and Confucian scholars should be inseparable from head Fu Nian for doing these things, right?
"Guess?"
Zhou Qing is enjoying himself again, and Yun Shu has also improved a lot recently.
He took the cold sake from Xue'er's hand and drank it all in one gulp. It was a great enjoyment to drink such a drink at this time.
Fu Nian!
The leader of Confucianism!
Doctoral scholar!
Maybe it has something to do with it!
Maybe it doesn't matter!
It depends on what the emperor thinks.
"Whether it was Master Fu Nian's idea or not, Confucianism cannot escape its involvement."
Cher hit the nail on the head.
Although he was unable to exert power beyond the level of god transformation, the ice was cold and his hands fell on the wine pot made by Sister Yan Ling.
A different kind of ice power enveloped the flask, mixing the wine inside to make it softer and mellower. Over the years, he had become proficient in making every kind of wine.
"The slave family thinks those scholars are doomed!"
Yan Lingji didn't have much appetite in the morning. She ate two bites of snacks and drank a little soup, but didn't move her mouth. Then she looked around with interest.
Doctoral scholar?
Dead!
"Sister Yan Ling, those are seventy-two people!"
"He is also a famous doctor and scholar in Qilu!"
Yun Shu thought it was impossible.
Killing them all... seems a bit..., it's unlikely anyway.
"When Lord Shang carried out his political reform, he executed more than 700 people on the Weishui River, ten times more, including many nobles."
"These people are nothing."
Yan Lingji felt that these people must be dead.
As for the Ph.D. and Confucian scholars from the land of Qilu?
Seventy-two?
Does your Majesty care?
Definitely don't care!
If there is resistance, then continue to kill and kill all those who resist Qin Fa. In this way... Qilu will be stable.
Everyone is safe.
"Have you read a book lately?"
"Do you know all about Lord Shang's reforms?"
Yi Chusan raised his hand and nodded Yan Lingji's little head. Now he quoted from scriptures when he spoke. Yes, there was considerable progress.
"snort!"
Yan Lingji rolled her eyes at the young master.
I've always been good at reading.
And...he is very smart.
"whee!"
Xueer suddenly became happy.
Everyone also whispered and laughed.
…
…
Chenshi!
Everything was ready, the people of the Young Mansion had prepared many things for the ceremony, and then they were all carried up by strong men.
The order of the civil and military ministers was arranged one by one.
The etiquette of Feng Chan!
It was created by His Majesty the First Emperor, who ordered the Shaofu and the people of the State Palace to combine many rituals in one place.
The purpose of the ceremony of enshrining Zen is to enshrine Zen, and the great etiquette has been different since ancient times.
For a moment, there was a little bit of chaos.
The seventy-two Ph.D. and Confucian scholars in the distance seemed to be watching a play. They kept laughing and chatting with each other, seeming to enjoy what they saw.
"His Majesty!"
"Those Ph.D. and Confucian scholars are making fun of me!"
The Censor Yanguan was dissatisfied and came directly to report it. They were responsible for maintaining the order of the great rituals. During the maintenance process, they happened to meet those Ph.D. and Confucian scholars.
Each of his words sounded really unhappy.
Come directly to report to His Majesty the First Emperor.
"I...get it."
Today, during the ceremony, the First Emperor Ying Zheng wore a royal crown, with twelve pearls reaching to the sky and tied his hair, and a large black fur crown that was noble and mysterious.
It was used by the Qin State to offer sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven, and it was called the Twelve Chapter Service!
The upper garment has six patterns of sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons and Chinese insects, and the lower garment has six patterns of embroidered algae, fire, pink rice, Zongyi, 黼, and 黼, for a total of twelve chapters.
Blessing the middle single, covering the knees, weaving algae, pink rice, embroidery, velvet patterns and other things decorated, in early summer, wearing this outfit.
Really thick!
However... only one person among all the summers can wear it.
Since the morning, there were people from the Shaofu serving him and dressing him up. After wearing it for almost half an hour, he simply ate and it was almost time to climb Mount Tai.
At the censor's voice, Ying Zheng Danfeng's eyes moved slightly, and he waved his hands, ignoring it for the time being.
The most important thing today is the ceremony!
As for the Zen ceremony, it has already been chosen. Liangfu Mountain not far away is also a famous place and can be used to offer sacrifices to Hou Tu.
"Your Majesty, the time has come!"
Taichang, who was also dressed in splendid clothes, came forward and bowed.
"Then let's climb the mountain."
One word of command.
Everyone is in place.
Zhou Qing had also put on the rarely worn robes of a county prince, which was also complicated to wear. Fortunately, Yun Shu, Xue'er and the others were prepared in advance and could finish it in less than a stick of incense.
Not long!
That’s mountain climbing!
Strong men opened the way ahead, and there were also sacrificial people holding many ritual vessels. The First Emperor Ying Zheng stepped on the mountain road and climbed up the steps.
Zhou Qing followed closely behind.
The important civil and military ministers were arranged in front, back, left, and right according to their title, and they followed him lively.
As for Yan Lingji, Yun Shu and others, they have no titles, no official positions... and are reduced to other people, and can only stay at the back to follow.
As for the seventy-two doctors and Confucian scholars from Qilu, they were also summoned to go together, following at the back, slowly approaching in the face of the already hot sun.
"Mountain of Taiyue!"
"Mountain climbing!"
“I rarely climb mountains!”
"Marquis, you rarely climb mountains."
The mountain road was opened to a width of about one foot. If it continues to be widened, it will not take many days to complete. Step by step, the first emperor Ying Zheng said with a smile as he climbed up the steps.
Climbing!
Very little for myself.
Especially when it comes to climbing Taiyue Mountain. Fortunately, I also exercised my body when I was in Xianyang Palace, so I should be able to endure it.
Just slow down the speed left and right.
“But I rarely climb mountains!”
Zhou Qing also laughed.
Mountain climbing?
Ever since I became a god in my cultivation and practiced the Wind Control Body Technique, I rarely walk normally, only when I climb a mountain or take a few steps.
Otherwise, how to get to Bulhamsan?
How to get to Kunlun?
Sure enough, ordinary people would never think of going to Kunlun.
"Taiyue Fengchan!"
"I wonder what kind of rumors will come out after I become a Zen official."
Ying Zheng's footsteps are not fast, but they are very solid.
One step at a time!
One step at a time.
Rush towards the top of Mount Tai.
As he spoke, he paused slightly and looked at the people behind him. The civil and military ministers still looked full of energy at this moment.
I wonder how it will behave if I wait a little longer.
"gossip!"
"Ordinary people naturally won't have any rumors. As long as there are fields to cultivate and the weather is good, there will be no rumors."
"It's just those people on the left and right."
"A lot of people have died this time. It depends on Cang Chu and Wei Zhuang's strength next."
Cang Chu!
Wei Zhuang!
After meeting the imperial brother one after another, each received a document and left.
Everything is done in secret, and it is difficult for outsiders to know the purpose.
"Feudal state!"
“The county is one!”
"Those people still don't give up!"
dead?
Those who died were all deserving of death, and Ying Zheng did not feel any distress.
It is impossible for those people to dream of returning to a feudal state!
The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty is a lesson learned from the past.
"But no matter what, the feudal states are gone."
Feudal state!
Completely gone.
Whether it is the original long river of time or the current time, even if the Qin Dynasty is gone and some people become the emperor, the feudal state will not last long.
Emperor Zhou!
The real Son of Heaven!
It's different after all.
"Um?"
Suddenly, as soon as Zhou Qing finished speaking, he felt something in his spiritual sense. His purple eyes flashed brightly, and he looked up into the void above his head. The sky was cloudless and sunny just a moment ago.
Even if I watched the sky last night, there won't be any wind or rain today.
But at this moment, the dark clouds suddenly covered the sky, the whirlwind wrinkled, and there was a strong tendency of wind and rain gathering, and even the whirlwind had already started.
"this……."
The First Emperor Ying Zheng who was walking in front also had a sudden change in his expression.
How could there be such a celestial phenomenon!
Is this a warning from Haotian?
There was a sudden thought in my heart, and I didn't dare to continue walking.
"This..., what's going on?"
"How come there are dark clouds appearing!"
"..."
"How could there be such an ominous celestial phenomenon!"
"..."
Not only the First Emperor Ying Zheng stopped, but also many important civil and military ministers who followed him also stopped. The vision above was too obvious.
Before I spoke, the sky was still cloudless and clear.
Now the sky is covered with dark clouds and a storm is coming. Even the people at the front holding the flag are a little unsteady because the whirlwind is too strong.
"this……."
"It seems that His Majesty did not confer Zen for a truly great ceremony because of unknown reasons!"
"Haotian has been warned!"
Some of the Ph.D. and Confucian scholars behind were also startled, and then looked at each other quickly, first surprised, and then suddenly overjoyed.
He kept saying something and did not avoid anything.
It fell into the ears of the censors and officials on the left and right, and everyone frowned.
These people should be punished, and soon someone went to report to His Majesty the First Emperor again.
"Forcibly enshrining Zen is inappropriate after all!"
"It seems that what the ancient books say is true, and it is not the true son of the various summers. How can he be granted Zen status?"
"Haotian will not allow it!"
Another doctorate and Confucian scholar spoke freely.
"That's true."
"Now that I have just climbed the mountain, I have such an ominous vision. If I continue walking, I don't know what else will happen!"
Then, another person shook his head and sighed.
"Haotian doesn't recognize His Majesty's great etiquette!"
One person dissuaded even louder.
"His Majesty!"
"Today's Feng Chan is unknown, but it will come again another day!"
There are also doctors and Confucian scholars who advise.
"It's not that the reason is unknown, but His Majesty's moral character has been damaged, and the great etiquette is not in line with Haotian, so there is such a vision as a warning!"
"..."
"..."
I saw the dark clouds above my head getting bigger and bigger, and the whirlwind getting stronger and stronger. The flags in the hands of the warriors at the front were shaking, and they felt vaguely about to fall.
Even in the mountains in the distance, there are lines of pale clouds and mist.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and the words in their mouths couldn't help but flow out.
