The place used by Zhao Huaizhong to entertain many saints was the rear hall of Xianyang, not the main hall where daily court meetings were held.
The seats of the two old saints were next to him, and further down was Ji Xian.
In addition, there are several people from ancient clans brought by Ji Xian, most of whom are clans with quite a long history.
The Ji family is the backbone of the clan that Emperor Xuanyuan was born into, but not all of it.
From ancient times to the present, the Xuanyuan clan has had many branches. For example, Shaohao, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and the White Emperor among the Five Ancient Emperors, later led a clan of his own and branched off from the clan.
Another example is Shaohao's grandson Di Ku, who is also one of the Five Emperors.
That is to say, the big boss who created the twenty-four solar terms is in charge of the changes in the celestial phenomena.
The great family of the Yellow Emperor spread its branches and leaves up and down. Some of them declined and disappeared in the course of history, but many of them kept in touch with each other and helped each other for thousands of years.
As the people of Qin became more and more powerful, Ji Xian brought all these ancient clans who were related to the Ji family or had long-standing contacts with them to the Qin Dynasty.
In the back hall of Xianyang, the people of these clans have their own unique characteristics, sitting opposite the ministers of Qin Dynasty.
In the winter after Qin destroyed Zhao, there was a truce. The two generals Wang Jian and Meng Ao also changed their defenses and returned to Xianyang to rest.
Zhao Huaizhong treated everyone to barbecue.
After the banquet started, there was a lot of excitement.
Hearing the mutterings of the two old saints, Zhao Huaizhong took the opportunity to announce the purpose of gathering all the saints to come to Xianyang.
When the demon clan suddenly retreated, Zhao Huaizhong always had doubts.
He wanted to find out the details of the demon clan, that is, go deep into the Kunlun Mountains.
Otherwise, knowing oneself but not knowing the enemy, and always lacking understanding of the details of the demon clan is really a taboo for military strategists, making it difficult to arrange troops in a targeted manner.
On a larger scale, this matter concerns the entire human race.
On a smaller scale, it is also closely related to the western border defense of Da Qin.
However, the truth inside the Demonic Ruins was unknown. Zhao Huaizhong was afraid that if he went there rashly and suffered serious losses, he prepared to bring everyone together to take the blame. When the saints gathered together, no matter how heavy the pot was, it would not be crushed.
At least you can escape unscathed.
When he expressed his thoughts.
The two old saints had made guesses in advance and it was their duty to investigate the demon clan.
Zhao Huaizhong turned his gaze to Ji Xian's face again.
"I don't want to go, it feels very dangerous..."
Ji Xian only dared to whisper this quietly in his heart, with an impassioned expression on his face: "This is not a matter for the Qin family and one country. It should be shouldered by our human race. My Ji family is willing to go with us.
but……"
Zhao Huaizhong happily said: "It's very good that Master Ji has taken this responsibility, so it's settled."
"..."
What I want to say is that my Ji family is willing to help others, but as the head of the family, I don’t need to take risks myself... Ji Xian looked at Zhao Huaizhong: "Does your Majesty also want to go with us?"
The two old saints immediately objected.
"The king of Qin is in charge of a country, which is related to the rise and fall of Qin. How can he personally take risks?" Xunzi said.
"It's enough for me and others to go, so there is no need for the prince to go." Zou Yan added.
The officials of Great Qin spoke out one after another: "I am willing to go on behalf of my king."
"I am also willing to go with all the saints."
Other ancient tribes also made suggestions, and the matter was settled.
Lu Buwei sat aside and watched the excitement.
He and Han Fei were promoted to innate saints, and their cultivation became more and more unfathomable. Even sitting there, they could still be deeply connected with the heaven and earth, and their energy was as heavy as a mountain.
But as the prime minister, he could not leave the center of Qin, and asked Wang Jian, Yu Gui and others to accompany them, but he was a bit envious.
The terrifying power mastered by the innate saint made Lu Buwei a little bit eager to test his own cultivation by fighting.
Later, Zhao Huaizhong talked with the saints about other things, such as the practice of the three religions and nine streams of human race. If we teach it, how to simplify it, how to extract the essence of which categories, so that it can be easily accepted by others, etc.
In the afternoon, the saints withdrew.
But the ministers of the Qin Dynasty and Zhao Huaizhong still stayed in the rear hall of Xianyang, and there was a second scene right after.
The envoys from various countries were ushered into the palace by the chamberlain.
If Qin destroys Zhao, it is expected that a truce will be needed for at least one year to absorb the gains from destroying Zhao.
Since we plan to have a truce in the coming year, we have no stakes with the remaining four countries for the time being.
The people of Qin were friendly towards envoys from the four kingdoms.
The Yan people came with Prince Dan, and the Qi people came with an old face, Qingyang Hou Jiang Yu.
The envoys from Wei and Chu had unfamiliar faces.
The Chu people came with a famous historical figure, Li Yuan, the great uncle of Chu and the elder brother of the Queen Mother.
Chunshenjun Huang Xie died in his hands, which shows this man's methods.
Li Yuan wore a dark yellow gown, with an impressive figure and sharp eyes. He had a strand of white hair on his forehead and a slightly melancholy temperament. He was a very handsome middle-aged man.
His steps gave people a very light and nimble feeling, as if he could rise into the air at any time.
Zhao Huaizhong glanced at him and knew that this gentleman's strength was on the same level as Mu Qianshui and Ji Qian.
It is rare among the dignitaries of various countries.
The people from the Wei Dynasty came as envoys to a minister named Qing Ji. He was unattractive and overweight, but his skin was very white, his eyes were agile, and he was very good at observing people's words and expressions.
This gentleman is a famous flatterer among the Wei people.
Compared with other countries who came to spy and observe the Qin people's true and false status, the Wei people put their own position very correctly.
Qin successively swallowed Han and destroyed Zhao, which greatly frightened the Wei people. No matter what plans they were secretly planning, when they came to Qin this time, the Wei people made up their minds openly and came to lick them.
Therefore, the lickers sent by the King of Wei were also good at flattering, Qing Ji.
The gifts given by the Wei people are also very precious.
They sent a giant war drum.
"This war drum is a relic from ancient times. It is said that it is made from the skin of the ancient beast Kui Niu. It has not been damaged for thousands of years. The sound of the drum can be heard thousands of miles away. It is also said that the sound of this drum can be heard by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man.
Voice.
I, the great Wei Dynasty, give this drum to Qin to wish that our two countries, Qin and Wei, can always have good relations with each other." An Hou said.
Zhao Huaizhong was also surprised by the giant drum presented to him by the Wei people.
According to legend, there was a Liubo Mountain in the land of Kyushu in ancient times.
There is a strange beast on the mountain, its whole body is green, and it has only one thick thigh. Every time it appears, there will be violent storms, and the light shining on its body is as bright as the light of the sun and the moon.
Its roar is as loud as thunder.
It is Kui Niu.
Later, the Yellow Emperor obtained Kui Niu and used its skin to make a drum and its bones to make drumsticks. When he beat it, the sound of the drum resounded thousands of miles away, frightening the enemies and subduing the world.
Zhao Huaizhong had asked Ji Xian before whether the magic drum was in Ji's house.
Ji Xian was so frightened that he quickly denied it, saying that the drum had been lost since the ancient tribal period and was no longer in Ji's family. It is said that the drum was later acquired by the Yin merchants, but the merchants rarely used it.
Unexpectedly, it was hidden in Dawei.
"The Wei people were willing to give this drum away. They really showed their strength..." Zhao Huaizhong thought a little funny.
"It is said that there is only one side of the Kui Niu drum in the world, which is as heavy as a mountain. The drum skin is made of the belly skin of the Kui Niu. It has amazing toughness and will not be damaged no matter how hard it is struck. The drumsticks are made of the bones of the one leg of the Kui Niu.
Sacrifice can shake the earth apart."
Envoys from various countries were surprised.
However, Da Qi and Wei people have been on bad terms in recent years, and small-scale wars have occasionally occurred on the border.
Qingyang Hou Jieduan said: "As far as I know, although the Kui Niu drum is a sacred object, it cannot be beaten at all.
To be continued...
