Chapter 2181 A Fangchao Palace (The chapters are not divided)
"His Majesty!"
Xianyang Palace!
Speaking of which, it has not been too long since the last time he entered the palace. It has not been a year since the death of Wuchenghou Wang Jian. All the way north into Guanzhong, there were many old Qin people paying homage to Wang Jian on the way.
At the end of Youshi and the beginning of Xushi, the sky has darkened. It is not summer, and the stars have already become too dim.
In the Xingle Palace, the emperor's brother was still handling government affairs in front of the palace. Chief Shi Mengyi was waiting beside him. The attendants on the left and right were a little further away. Without making any sound, Zhou Qing bowed down.
Over the years, the emperor's case was filled with piles of bamboo slips, which had to be reviewed every day until midnight. Now...the bamboo slips have all been replaced by paper documents, and it seems that there hasn't been much change.
"Marquis of Wuzhen County!"
Meng Yi stood up from the side and bowed deeply. Not even a month had passed since he left for Nanchang in the south of the Yangtze River, and the prince returned to Xianyang.
"Haha, Lord, from the south of the Yangtze River to Xianyang, all the way north, is there any missing area on the road?"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng had already received the notification, put down the documents in his hands, stood up after the first case, and slowly walked down the stairs wearing a loose black dragon-patterned brocade garment.
"The Chi Dao is so good that it will take several years to reach all the corners of the Qin Dynasty."
Chidao!
Da Qin’s top officialdom!
It is also a road that has been invested in building a large amount of money since the establishment of the Qin Temple Dynasty. It is also one of the first national policies to be established.
At that time, there were still many people who opposed it because the cost of building the Chidao was too high. The Chidao was of a standard size, with the road being fifty paces wide and ten feet apart. A tree was planted every three feet to anchor it.
sandy soil.
An ordinary thoroughfare is no more than three feet wide, which is already a very wide thoroughfare.
As for the common main roads in counties and counties, they are between one foot and three feet. In the south of the Yangtze River, Zhou Qing set a five-foot limit, which is also called a five-foot road!
As for the roads in the countryside, they have been shortened to less than one foot.
The cost of building such a wide road that reaches every county in the Qin Dynasty would be even greater without the presence of water and rocks.
However... in the end, the national policy of building a chi road leading to all the Xia fell behind.
Chi!
Meant to be fast!
Chidao!
A road where you can travel quickly!
According to the rules set by the government, non-ordinary people can walk on Chidao, not even ordinary officials.
The Chi Dao is not only a Chi Dao, but also has a dedicated horse-drawn wooden track Chi Dao in the middle. Double-track travel, coupled with the policy of having cars on the same track, is more convenient.
There are now a total of twelve Chi Dao from Xianyang, and the routes of the twelve Chi Dao have already been imprinted on the map of Qin Dynasty.
After the construction of the twelve galloping roads is completed, other galloping roads will be built according to the situation.
This time when we entered Guanzhong from Nanchang, along the way, the Wuchi Road naturally turned into the Chi Road. It was no less than the top road in the long history of time. It traveled very fast.
"According to the documents from the government, half of the twelve Chi Roads will be completed after the first five years of the Qin Dynasty, and all of them will be completed after ten years."
"There are many places where people's power is needed now, and I... want to see such results in the first five years."
"Jun Hou, in the past years, you have always declined what I said about your children and heirs, but now the three sons are here, how about it?"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng was very concerned about Chi Dao.
With the existence of Chidao, it will be quite convenient to patrol various places in the Xia in the future. For the time being, it seems to have consumed a lot of people and material resources.
But...it will save a lot of energy in the future.
In particular, it is more important that the Chi Road is connected, the Qin Dynasty is integrated, and the counties and counties can be better controlled.
Not to mention, with the water stone from the National Protectorate Academy, the construction speed of Chidao has more than doubled. As he spoke, Ying Zheng changed the topic and fell on the three new little guys in the clan.
As a clan leader!
It is also one's own responsibility to keep the descendants of the clan alive and reproducing.
The prince had always been careless in this aspect before, but now... three little guys came all at once, I think he would have a different feeling.
"All things are in order, yin and yang work together, and blood continues, which is also part of the Tao."
"Ning'er and the others... are very good!"
Zhou Qing said with a smile.
The birth of Xi'er, Ning'er and the others made me happy, looking forward to it, worried and sad...
From an ordinary person's point of view, bloodline continuity is common sense, because it is the trace of your existence in heaven and earth.
Without the continuation of the bloodline, there will be no trace of you in the world in a few decades.
From the perspective of a cultivator, this is also part of the evolution of the way of heaven. The universe and the universe form all things on their own, and only when all things multiply can there be endless brilliance.
The appearance of Ning'er and the others is also part of Tao. The way of heaven is magical. The rhythm of Tao flows like this, and Yin and Yang are refined.
From the perspective of a father and a mother, there are expectations for them, but no matter what, they need to walk the road ahead on their own.
Good and bad!
They also need to go on their own.
Always good?
Not the way of heaven!
No one can do it!
Maybe...that's the Tao too!
Zhou Qingyu sighed with emotion, and his only wish was that he hoped that Ning'er and the others would have enough understanding to grasp the wonders of how the world works.
"If the prince is like this, his descendants will not disappoint me in the future. Twenty years from now, I am ready to reuse Lord Changnan."
"In another twenty years, I will be almost sixty years old."
"The only heirs of the late king are me and the princes. Now, the total number of my descendants is twenty or thirty, and there are only three princes, which is far from enough."
Heir!
For Ying Zheng, the First Emperor, the result of having heirs meant that he had grown up. The more heirs he had, the older he was.
Even getting older.
In Xianyang Palace, there are plans for the royal family's heirs. Every year... there are new sons and princesses born. That is the need of the royal family.
The same should be true for princes and princes.
"Xuanqing also feels that there are not many sons."
Three sons are naturally not enough.
Next time they have time, Yun Shu and the others will also have an heir.
"Hahaha, three sons are naturally not enough, we need more."
"Tomorrow, I want to see the third son of the prince. The eldest son of the prince, Changnanjun, is the daughter of Tianzong Xiaomengzi. I have seen her, and she is also a stunning and intelligent woman."
"Changnan Lord's fiefdom is located in Chang'an County. In recent months, the Shaofu has been constructing a new palace in Weinan. I also visited it during the summer harvest."
"It... has beautiful scenery and is located not far from Chang'an County. When you have time, the Lord Commander and I should go and have a look."
"There are more and more people here in Xianyang."
The First Emperor Ying Zheng laughed.
I do have great expectations for the heirs of the princes and princes. The princes are already knowledgeable and intelligent, and if their children are like this, it will benefit the Qin Dynasty a lot.
Speaking of Lord Changnan, Ying Zheng mentioned one thing again.
Chang'an County!
It was a blessed place that I awarded to Cheng Xi back then. However, what happened later happened and now it falls on Lord Changnan to show my love.
"Mrs. Li has given birth to twins. Tomorrow Ning'er and three people will come, which will be lively."
"Does His Majesty have a name for the new court?"
Zhou Qing nodded. Even if he didn't enter Xianyang so late today, he would still be prepared to let Ning'er and the three little ones enter the palace tomorrow.
Tonight, with the baptism of true energy from Xiaomeng and the others, after a good sleep, my energy and energy will be abundant.
"New Chao Palace?"
"This... I haven't thought of the most suitable one yet, so let's name it - Afang."
"If Da Qin didn't have so many things going on right now, the new imperial palace could be built in about five years. Now... it will take more than ten years."
"One piece at a time, each piece at a time, it all takes time."
In ten years, there is enough time to take off the name of a new imperial palace.
Ah!
The meaning is close!
The Xinchao Palace is not far from the Xianyang Palace on the north bank of the Wei River, so it is temporarily named Afang.
"Afanggong!"
"The Warring States Period is fading away, and all wastes have been restored. Your Majesty has enough time to reorganize the world."
Zhou Qing looked a little strange.
Epang Palace should be built this time, right?
There should be no problem.
"This is the truth. I hope that Great Qin will look the same every year. Some things can only be done well if I do them."
"A few days ago, Fusu heard from the Sishui County Secretary that you had given birth to an heir, and that there were more people close to you in the clan. Therefore, he sent someone to Nanchang to celebrate."
"This kid...is serious, and his original preference will be in vain."
time!
The first emperor Yingzheng felt that what he lacked was time. Not only was he lacking time, he was also lacking a lot.
During the hundreds of years of the Warring States Period, the people of the Xia Dynasties were getting smaller and smaller.
The elegance becomes more and more different.
The remnants of the various countries still have different ideas.
All the schools of thought did not obey the laws of Qin.
…
I really hope that those troubles can be solved in the shortest time, otherwise, the Yin and Yang family will not be able to bring me good news, and everything will be worrying.
My dear fellows!
Thinking of this, he frowned, and then a person flashed in his mind.
"Fusu!"
"Master Fusu sent his capable men to Nanchang and brought many gifts. Xuanqing was very happy."
Zhou Qing said with a smile.
"Fusu!"
"His experience in recent years is barely above par."
"Most of the princes are in the south of the Yangtze River, not far from the Huai River. The guards around Fusu are also people from the princes. How much do you know about the relationship between the farmers and Fusu?"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng walked around the brightly lit palace. On a midsummer day, the doors and windows in the palace were open, and there were two piles of icebergs not far away.
Fusu is his eldest son.
Naturally, I have different emotions and expectations for him than for other scholars.
However...in recent months, some things seem to be different.
He looked at the prince and said casually.
Beside him, Chang Shi Mengyi was still standing quietly with his eyebrows lowered, as if he was asleep.
"farmhouse!"
"The things there... Xuan Qing is indeed concerned about it. If nothing unexpected happens, the farm matter will be settled in a few months."
Fusu could not continue to delay the farm matter. It was the beginning of July, and the Daqin New Year was the first day of October.
He certainly didn't want the farm matter to be delayed for another year.
Because the farmer doesn't have the qualifications to drag it on.
Three months.
Zhou Qing was also looking forward to the outcome, but he didn't know what outcome Fusu would choose.
"The peasant family's matter has been settled. I believe Fusu can do it."
"Xia violates the ban with force, and farmers should not exist among the Xia."
"In the past few months, there have been some rumors in Xianyang City, and they have spread to Lord Changping, the farmers, Shennongtang, Fusu and others. What do the princes and princes think?"
farmhouse!
The First Emperor Ying Zheng never paid attention to farmers. If those people were dishonest, he would directly send out an army to wipe them out.
Even the kingdoms of Shandong collapsed under the iron cavalry of Qin. What is the ability of hundreds of schools of thought?
But...it's good to see Fusu's abilities.
The result is of course no surprise. The key...is how Fusu will decide during the process.
The prince should also know some things. In today's temple dynasty, the attitude of the prince has to be considered by himself, although the prince has always supported him.
And... the princes did not interfere in many things.
"Changping-kun!"
"farmhouse!"
"Naturally, farmers will not sit back and wait for death. They have only two choices. One is to drop their weapons and return to their fields. From then on, the farmers will cease to exist."
"The second is the current decision of the Zhu family of Shennongtang. They join Fusu's command, integrate the farm families, and set new rules in accordance with Qin law."
"Your Majesty said that Lord Changping, Nongjia, and Fusu suspected that someone in Nongjia had ulterior motives?"
Zhou Qing bowed his hands and looked at the emperor's brother.
Zong Qiong has also been passing on the news from Xianyang to Nanchang, and the rumors about Changping Lord and Fusu have indeed appeared and caused quite a stir.
There is also the movement at the Lishan Mausoleum. Some people from the Chu State who built the mausoleum were rescued. The time coincides with one place, so it is different.
"What do the princes think?"
First Emperor Ying Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Chu State!"
"It's no longer here!"
"Master Fusu is your Majesty's bloodline and your Majesty's eldest son. Your Majesty will not take those rumors to heart..."
"Your Majesty is worried about the future!"
"Young Master Fusu, your Majesty still has a long time to teach you. Besides, there are more than ten young masters under your Majesty's knees, and they will all grow up one by one."
"Not to mention... the Yin Yang Family Mirage hasn't left yet."
gossip!
Based on my understanding of the emperor's brother, the rumors involving Changping Lord, Nongjia, and Fusu...the emperor's brother would not take them to heart.
Because Fusu is the prince of Da Qin!
Even if he ascends the throne one day, he will be the Emperor of Qin and His Majesty, not the Emperor of Chu.
This cannot be changed.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand the purpose of the emperor's asking about this matter.
The root cause still fell on Fusu. Starting from the death of Wu Chenghou, the emperor's brother's arrangements for Fusu were obviously different.
Not to mention that he will relinquish the position of crown prince, at least... he has gone one step further than before.
Fusu!
Since it is possible to become a prince, every move and even possible future moves are important, so it is naturally impossible for Chu State to appear.
However, there is no guarantee that there will be some people with ulterior motives who want to take advantage of Fusu's power!
After returning to the order of Da Qin, some things became difficult.
Going further, if Fusu really ascends the throne in the future, and there are many old people from the past around him, what will the laws of Qin be like? What will the current national policies be like?
What's more!
Those people are now in contact with Fusu, and they are indeed in the same place. Things are even more unpredictable, especially in Shandong, where Da Qin's control is not too strong!
Brother Huang has thought far enough.
But you have to think so far!
Over the hundreds of years since the war between feudal lords, there have been countless cases where powerful countries have weakened due to problems in their successors. In the hundreds of years since Duke Mu of Qin, there have been many examples.
Not to mention the countries in Shandong!
"Fusu!"
"I have sent Zhang Han to lead the secret guards to Sishui County to investigate the matter in person. Fusu... As the prince said, I still have time now."
"Yin Yang Family Mirage, it's time to go eastward next year. I hope His Excellency Dong Huang will not disappoint me."
"Compared to me, the princes and princes live more freely in the south of the Yangtze River. I sometimes envy the princes and princes for being so indulgent in the summer."
The First Emperor Yingzheng pondered for a few breaths.
For the sake of the Qin Dynasty, many things cannot have any accidents. Fusu can have those people around him, but... Fusu must have enough ability to control them.
If it cannot be controlled, it will have very bad consequences.
Fusu's temperament is still not satisfactory to me.
In any case, I have given Fusu many opportunities. Then the other young masters will gradually grow up and should also have opportunities one by one.
Feeling this, he couldn't help but shake his head, feeling more irritated, looked at the prince, and smiled helplessly.
"Xuanqing looks so happy and happy in your Majesty's eyes. Don't you know that Xuanqing also has difficult things?"
"Practice... practice becomes more and more difficult to the end."
"Now that Ning'er and the others are by our side, we will have to work hard next."
Zhou Qing expressed his disapproval of this.
Just like the debate between Zhuangzi and Huizi on the bridge, everything in the world is like watching fish on the bridge. It is difficult to know the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of the fish!
"Hahaha!"
"It's rare for a prince to have such a heart... Meng Yi, what do you think?"
Ying Zheng looked pleased.
"Everyone in the temple knows that Wuzhen County Marquis Xiaoyao!"
Meng Yi bowed his hands, raised his head to look at His Majesty and the princes, and smiled slightly.
"Hahaha, please listen to the princes, this is the intention of the ministers in the temple."
"Speaking of which, I just mentioned that the Yin-Yang family's mirage travels eastward. When I was flipping through an ancient book a few days ago, it recorded some methods of prolonging life."
"Among them, the way to prolong life is to consume more of it. Taking precious elixirs refined from heavenly materials and earthly treasures can prolong life. The elixirs used by the princes in the past have benefited both me and Li'er."
"There are also direct consumption of some heavenly and earthly spiritual things, such as the Fountain of Youth in Loulan in the Western Region. Although it is rumored that the Fountain of Youth is gone, I... ordered Li Xin to send people to Loulan to investigate."
"There is also the ancient human emperor Xuanyuan's method of intertwining lives, but it is not in my heart. Dong Jun has said that the prince is good at this method."
"In addition, taking some blood pills refined from the essence and blood of strange beasts from heaven and earth, such as the four spirits of heaven and earth among the strange beasts, have extremely long lifespans. As expected, collecting their blood essence and blood to refine blood pills should be useful!"
"I have asked His Excellency Dongjun and Xuan Lingzi, and both of them said that they can give it a try."
"What do the princes think of this method?"
"Getting the essence and blood of the four spirits of heaven and earth is not the way to kill them. If I send someone to get it, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng was a little unsure.
When worshiping at Mount Tai, the four spirits of heaven and earth come into view, and they are all miraculous images.
Now we need to take some of their essence and blood to refine blood elixirs for longevity. It's just some essence and blood, so...it's no big deal.
However, the prince is relatively familiar with the Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth. After asking Dongjun and Xuan Lingzi, they just think it is feasible, if the prince does not object.
Do it.
Prolong life!
There is no conflict with Mirage's eastward journey, and it is also a two-pronged preparation.
"Take the essence and blood of the four spirits of heaven and earth to refine blood pills to prolong life?"
Zhou Qing was startled for a moment, then became speechless.
Brother Huang, where did you read this ancient book?
"Your Majesty, I'm just taking some of their essence and blood, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Ying Zheng asked again.
The whereabouts of the colorful phoenix... I know, it is in Jiangnan.
Now that the south of the Yangtze River is the territory of the Qin Dynasty, it is reasonable and reasonable for the colorful phoenix to donate some essence and blood for use. What's more, it is just essence and blood. With the power of the alien beast, it is not difficult to recover.
In return, the hundred-mile radius of the colorful phoenix's habitat will always be a restricted area!
