Chapter 451 Today, heaven and earth are blessing you, this is your best opportunity
In Yanmen County, in the governor's mansion, Meng Tian had a complicated look on his face.
Gaoque City is not close to Yanmen, but it is not too far either, and Ying Chengyu has not closed the city. Therefore, no matter what happens in Gaoque City, Meng Tian will always know about it a day later.
"Hu Hua, Huns, and Qin people should be treated equally.
"Tian has killed the Huns so much that they hate the Qin army to the core. They want the Huns and Qin to be at odds with each other. How could the situation be completely reversed in just one month?"
Meng Tian got the information and learned that Ying Chengyu had captured Prince Modun alive.
We also learned that the Huns in Gaoque City did not recognize Maodun, but only recognized their leader Ying Jianglu.
And earlier, the intermediary he placed in the desert reported:
The Huns of many small and medium-sized tribes have greatly changed their views on the Taotie Army. Many tribes are eagerly waiting for the Taotie Army to recruit them and move to Gaoque City.
There are even some tribes who have found the correct direction and cannot wait for the Taotie army to arrive, so they take the initiative to go south and seek the protection of Gaoque City.
Gaoque City has become a paradise in the hearts of many Huns.
When life is not guaranteed, there is no loyalty at all in a land like the desert where the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong.
They will support anyone who can allow them to live peacefully and eat meat once every ten days and a half.
The murder committed by Meng Tian did not stop the enthusiasm of these Huns, but instead became a catalyst under the guidance of Lu's caravan.
"Meng Tian is a butcher and the leader of the Guan Taotie tribe. What is the matter with General Ying, the third son of the Qin Kingdom?"
"The third son, General Ying, personally killed the black-armored Qin army for the sake of the Huns. Doesn't this prove his attitude towards the Huns?"
"Except for his different appearance, I suspect that the third young master Ying Jianglu is a Huns. He has nothing to say to the Huns!"
"Yes, yes, you see, he changed the name of the Qin army brought out of Guanzhong to the Taotie tribe."
"Except for the Third Young Master, which Qin person can do this? Can he treat the Huns so favorably?"
Meng Tian was also in charge of the black-armored Qin army, but Meng Tian killed all the chickens and dogs without sparing them, but General Ying treated them all equally.
With such a comparison, the differences were immediately apparent, and the Huns' favorable impression of Ying Jianglu, Gaoque City, and the Taotie tribe soared.
In order to increase credibility, Ying Chengyu asked the Chamber of Commerce to take the Huns from Gaoque City into the desert to do business.
I don’t know what you Huns need in winter, so you can purchase it yourself.
The Huns who walked out of Gaoque City told the Huns in the desert that the rumors were not only true, but were even somewhat restrained.
"Ying Chengyu, the military commander of Gaoque City, a great man who is as powerful as Shanyu in fighting, has recognized two of our Huns women as adopted sisters."
"When a sworn sister gets married, General Ying Chengyu gives every ten people a sheep! Those women all dream of being General Ying's sister!"
"If it weren't for purchasing winter supplies, I wouldn't have come back. Gaoque is a hundred times more comfortable than this. Take out all the best wool and we'll buy it back and make the warmest furs for the chief."
Meng Tian smiled bitterly.
Going deep alone, going with your mother, those seemingly ridiculous actions before turned out to be deceptions.
These 50,000 gluttonous troops wandered into the desert and then returned to Gaoque City to set up camp. There was no problem in bringing women with them if they were not going to fight. All of them were deceived by Lord Chang'an.
"When it comes to Zangzhuo, there is no one like him in the world, and the Marquis of Wucheng is far behind.
"Tian should have thought of it a long time ago and ignored the infamy he had endured for ten years in Xianyang.
"How could the Lord of Chang'an, who could conceive of the Liuli chaos of the Six Kingdoms and the invasion of the desert and conquer the Huns, be such a fool?"
Meng Tian felt a burning pain on his face, more painful than his father's slap before.
"If it happens again..."
Meng Tian thought about Ying Chengyu being stubborn and arbitrary, refusing to listen to advice, and insisting on punching the table with the air of a mother who wanted to fight.
"Insidious and treacherous! Really insidious and treacherous!"
If he does it again, he will still make a mistake in judgment. This is such a treacherous act!
After feeling sorry for himself for a while, Meng Tian looked to the northwest, as if he saw Gaoque City, which was not majestic at all and could not be called a city in the Central Plains.
"Li You and my father are here. Although this is a bad thing for the prince, it is a good thing for our Meng family.
"At this moment, the only people who can succeed the great unification are these two people..."
Meng Tian released a dove. The dove flapped its wings and flew towards the east, with letter paper tied to its feet.
Every day, Meng Tian would write down the information he obtained on paper, and then pass it on to the First Emperor thousands of miles away.
His expressions are always objective descriptions without any personal emotions.
He was loyal to the prince and was a princeling because the First Emperor wanted him to become a princeling, and the First Emperor was the object of his allegiance.
At this moment, the First Emperor was on Mount Tai.
Mount Tai is the highest among mountains in China, unmatched by any other peak.
According to legend, Emperor Fuxi once offered sacrifices to heaven and earth in Mount Tai, and the Yellow Emperor, the leader of the Five Emperors, often visited immortals in Mount Tai.
It is recorded in history that as early as in ancient times, Mount Tai was the settlement of important tribes. During the Yao and Shun eras, Daizong was used as the first place for hunting tours in all directions.
After the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, each of the nine states in the world identified a famous mountain as its town mountain, among which the town mountain in Yanzhou was Mount Tai.
And now, since the Yingqin tribe, the ancestral roots of the Great Qin Empire, originated from Mount Tai, the First Emperor has once again elevated the status of Mount Tai and designated it as the first mountain.
An important node of this eastward tour is to come to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, imitating the actions of the ancient sage kings.
Feng Chan.
An altar of earth was built on Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and repay heaven's merits, so it was called Feng.
The practice of removing the earth on the hill below Mount Tai and repaying the merits of the earth is called Zen.
On the top of Mount Tai, the First Emperor wore a black black bird crown and a white jade beaded curtain that jingled to the sky.
Half a step behind, Li Si, the Zuo Prime Minister with the best calligraphy skills in the Qin Empire, faced a stone tablet, raised his sword and held his breath, waiting to put pen to paper.
During this eastward patrol, not a single assassin could harm the First Emperor, but there were just as many scholars who recommended themselves as if they were in vain.
As a result, the First Emperor selected the best candidates for admission, and the number of PhDs in the Qin Empire increased dramatically, now reaching 117.
Among these one hundred and seventeen people are Confucian disciples, Legalist disciples, and famous disciples...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this moment, all 117 doctors are standing behind the First Emperor, with solemn faces, as if listening to an oracle.
The First Emperor raised his head to the sky, then lowered his head to look at the earth, but he still refused to recite the sacrificial rites orally for heaven and earth to listen.
A flash of hesitation flashed across the face of Zhou Qingchen, a doctor of Confucianism who was chosen to calculate the time, and it disappeared in an instant.
He stepped forward and reached one meter behind the First Emperor. He stopped under the stern gaze of the doctor, Zhang Han, and said in a moderately humble voice:
"Your Majesty, this is an auspicious time to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray to earth."
"I understand."
"I excuse myself."
There is a mountain breeze on the mountain peak, which is cold but not biting.
The first emperor climbed high and looked at the vast sea of clouds that was not as high as the top of the mountain. He stretched out his hands to block the sunlight, and heard the chirping of birds in the distance.
Fengchang, one of the nine ministers in charge of the ancestral temple's sacrificial rituals, was sweating on his forehead.
Today and now, it was jointly selected by a group of doctors of yin and yang, doctors of dreams, doctors of gods, etc.
At this moment, the world is most happy to be enshrined in Zen, and it is most beneficial to the Qin Empire.
If you don't speak again, the auspicious time will pass, and the effect of conferring Zen at that time will be greatly reduced. Even whether heaven and earth will be happy is a matter of two opinions.
His Majesty could not have forgotten the memorial text...
Feng Chang held his left sleeve and was about to step forward.
He carried a scroll of bamboo slips in his sleeve, which was exactly the sacrificial inscription that should be recited at this moment.
At this moment, Fengchang was a little annoyed, not only with the First Emperor, but also with himself, because there were not many words in this sacrifice, only 172 words, so the First Emperor believed him if he had memorized it.
If I had known this, why would I have asked His Majesty to read the sacrificial inscriptions...
"When the emperor comes to the throne, he makes laws and regulations, and his subordinates revise them..."
The voice of the First Emperor sounded, before Feng Chang raised his feet.
Feng Chang was relieved and felt at ease.
These twelve characters are exactly the first twelve characters in the sacrificial inscription.
Li Si also breathed a sigh of relief, held his breath and concentrated, holding a sword flower in his hand, and was about to drop the sword on the stone tablet.
He had already memorized this memorial text, but the First Emperor didn't want to read it, so he couldn't write it.
"...so boring."
Feng Chang's eyes widened.
This is not a word I wrote!
The Qin sword in Li Si's palm was about to land on the stone tablet, but it turned around temporarily and struck the ground, causing Li Si to almost dodge.
Your Majesty...did you pronounce it wrong?
These four words are not included in the memorial text at all. The four words following the twelve words are "the beginning of the world"!
All the newly recruited doctors and the accompanying civil servants were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Feng Chang with extremely unkind eyes, whose eyes were as wide as bullfrogs.
Feng Chan and express his merits to heaven and earth.
This is the most important event, do you dare to write in the memorial that it is boring? Are you a rebel planted by the Six Kingdoms?
Feng Chang was stabbed by thousands of looks, and the sweat on his back was pouring down.
I was screaming in my heart that this was not written by me, but my mouth was tightly closed.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, this mistake can only be borne by him. Where could the First Emperor go wrong when he granted Zen status?
Feng Chang now only hopes that his majesty can recite "甔不氕" and return to normal.
Prime Minister Zuo, who wrote it, was very thoughtful and must have known that His Majesty had made a mistake in pronunciation and would change it back when he wrote the inscription.
However……
"Wang Chan."
The First Emperor turned around, found Guiguzi among the dense crowd behind him, and called out.
Feng Chang's body went limp, his vision went dark, and he almost fell to the ground.
Why are you still talking about this? Where is Feng Chan! Such disrespect for heaven and earth will bring trouble to the Qin Dynasty!
Li Si was secretly glad that he stopped quickly.
Your Majesty read it correctly.
When all the ministers stared at the First Emperor with their eyes wide open, they were a little surprised and speechless.
Gui Guzi, who had four moles on his head, did not hesitate for a moment. As if he had known that the First Emperor was going to call him, he responded loudly:
"I'm here."
"What are my achievements?"
"Unify the world and create a great era that China has never seen before. The area of Qin is also the largest in history. Your Majesty's achievements surpass three emperors and five emperors, and are the greatest in ancient and modern times!"
The First Emperor laughed, very happy, and looked at Zhou Qingchen who had just stood up.
"Zhou Qingchen, please tell me."
Before the sluggish Zhou Qingchen came to his senses, his mouth began to move, as if it was a muscle reaction.
"The four seas are united, and the world is humble. Your Majesty's achievements cannot be recorded on bamboo slips, and your Majesty's virtues cannot be contained even by the sky and the earth. The reason why people live is the life given by your Majesty..."
Zhou Qingchen kept talking, getting more and more outrageous.
The always thick-skinned Emperor Shi Huang felt his face was a little hot and he coughed twice.
"That's it."
Zhou Qingchen shut up at the right moment, his mind still a little confused, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock of the First Emperor Feng Chan turning his head to chat as soon as he started talking.
The First Emperor faced the ministers who had various expressions of fear, worry, and astonishment.
“I am able to unify the world because of the diligent efforts of my civil servants in making plans, because of the bravery of the military commanders who are not afraid of death, and because of the people of the Qin State who work together and are willing to go eastward.
"Heaven and Earth? Oh, they didn't contribute any force when I conquered the Six Kingdoms, so why do I need to announce them today?"
Feng Chang was numb from his toes to his heavenly spirit, as if he had been struck by thunder from the sky. He could no longer stand, and suddenly fell to the ground exhausted.
He held his head high, his face showing anxiety, despair, and pleading.
"Your Majesty! No! No! Please pray to heaven and earth to forgive your words and not to incriminate Qin!"
The First Emperor glanced at Zhang Han.
Zhang Han nodded imperceptibly and said in a deep voice:
"Master Fengchang has become ill due to overwork and has a heart attack. Please take him down quickly and ask for treatment from the imperial physician."
Two Qin soldiers appeared out of nowhere, came to Feng Chang, and helped Feng Chang down the mountain.
Feng Chang, who was already weak, found strength from nowhere and struggled desperately. In an instant, he forced back two powerful shadow guards.
He struggled to throw himself on the First Emperor, looking frightened and crazy.
"Ying Zheng! You disrespect heaven and earth! You will bring great disaster to the Qin State! You will cause the Qin State's state to cease to exist and the ancestral temple to fall!"
Before he could even take three steps, two secret guards, who were ashamed of their slight neglect of duty, grabbed his arms and dragged him down the mountain.
Feng Chang was still shouting crazily while being dragged away.
"The State of Qin is over! The State of Qin is over!"
This voice resounded on the top of Mount Tai, and spread from the first mountain of the Qin Kingdom to all directions. The people on the top of the mountain were all pale in color and frightened in their hearts. No one dared to look at the face of the First Emperor. They thought that the First Emperor would be furious.
This guy is really hurting us!
In their hearts, Feng Chang scolded him bloody.
If you don't respect heaven and earth, you will die anytime, but at least you won't die immediately.
But if you don't respect the First Emperor, you will die immediately.
The world is indeed terrifying, but nothing can be as terrifying as the current First Emperor.
But the First Emperor was not angry. The First Emperor, who never liked to hide his emotions, had a calm voice.
"Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, which country does not respect heaven and earth? But where are they now? I who disrespected heaven and earth destroyed their country, demolished their ancestral temples, and destroyed their country. They have nothing but
What can I do if I cry like a coward?
"I have been patrolling the east and passed through Han, Chu and Qi. I came to their territory and asked them to kill them, but they couldn't even kill them in front of me. I am really disappointed.
"Among you doctors, there must be someone who has inserted himself with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms to overthrow the Qin Dynasty. Do you dare to stand up and stab me? Today, heaven and earth will bless you. This is your best chance."
The ministers bowed their heads, but no one answered.
