As the sun sets in the west, the orange-red afterglow of the sun decorates the huge Xianyang City with a dazzling and noble golden color. (/baojian/宝盈) As the last bit of the sunset fades away, dots of firelight begin to shine in the south and north of Xianyang City.
East of the city and west of the city appear.
It was thousands of lights lit by people after a busy day.
Xianyang City, which had been noisy for a day, slowly fell silent. The crowds of people on the spacious avenue were gradually dispersing in all directions of Xianyang City, everyone going back to their homes to find their mothers.
In the night, several fast horses galloped out of Xianyang Palace. On the road paved with bluestones, sparks shot out from time to time. They were sparks caused by the collision of horseshoes and bluestones.
In the misty night, you can vaguely see five knights wearing black robes and carrying packages on their backs, whipping their horses faster than the whip, galloping through the avenues across Xianyang City like lightning.
As the horses galloped, under the reflection of the lights in the residential wine shops on both sides of the street, a few golden lights reflected dazzling golden lights from the waists of the five knights.
That is the five-sided golden Dragon Guard Mansion waist badge!
The sparse and hurried people on the street heard the dull roar of horse hooves that seemed to hit people's hearts, and they hurriedly moved to both sides of the avenue to avoid it.
At the brightly lit moat of the south gate of Xianyang City, the night guard heard the roar of horse hooves and was about to stop him when he was dazzled by the golden light reflected from the gold medal held high by a knight in front of him.
A strong force came from behind, and Shi Chang, who was covering his eyes to block the golden light, fell backwards in embarrassment.
Five rapid gusts of wind blew past this extremely long body. Amidst the clatter of horse hooves, sparks shot out from time to time, heading towards the Western Avenue.
"Good boy, the personal guard of the Dragon Guard Mansion with the golden belt!"
A familiar voice came from behind, causing Shi Chang to swallow all the words he was about to curse.
Not long ago, when Longwei Mansion and Heibingtai vigorously cracked down on the aristocratic children of various aristocratic families in Guanzhong for bullying ordinary people and riding horses in the city, basically most people in Guanzhong were very aware that Longwei Mansion and Heibingtai were two places owned by the emperor.
The composition of the government offices under direct control.
The aristocrats of the Guanzhong family, as well as the three princes, nine ministers and government offices in the court obviously want to know much more than ordinary people.
Most of the people in Longwei Mansion and Heibingtai that we usually see wear black waistbands. It’s just that the patterns on the waistbands of the two houses are different. Only the personal guards of Longwei Mansion who can often accompany the emperor as guards can wear gold waistbands.
There is no such thing as a golden waist card in the Black Ice Platform. This is the certificate that allows the emperor's personal guards, the dead soldiers of Longwei Mansion, to enter and leave Xianyang Palace.
However, after the emperor returned from his personal expedition, nowadays, not to mention the counties in Guanzhong and even Xianyang, it is almost impossible to see the activities of the Longweifu and Heibingtai dead soldiers wearing special waistbands.
Today, we can actually see five guards of the Longwei Mansion wearing golden waist badges at the same time. Even the most idiotic official knows that something big has happened in the court. Otherwise, the emperor's guards would not be allowed to take action in person.
.
Judging from the direction in which these five dead men of Longwei Mansion were heading, it was obvious that they were either heading towards Longxi or towards Bashu. After the emperor reset the various post stations on the main roads, the post stations from Daqin to Longxi and Bashu were ordered by the emperor.
The first to complete the reset.
General messages only need to be delivered via post.
While the gatekeepers were thinking in their minds, three faith eagles fluttered their wings from the brightly lit Xianyang Palace, plunged into the dark night, and disappeared in an instant.
That direction is also towards Longxi.
…
August 20, the second year of Emperor Qin II.
The 40,000 Suzaku Army cavalry quietly left the Bashang Camp, which was more than 50 miles away from Xianyang, and rushed along the main road from Xianyang out of Hangu Pass. Three days later, the 40,000 Suzaku Army cavalry were divided into four after leaving Hangu Pass.
, two roads went north, one road went east, and one road went south. They scattered in all directions.
August 22, the second year of Emperor Qin II.
A third-grade Qin Tianjian was quietly added to the sequence of the central government system of the Great Qin Dynasty. On the same day, an Astronomy Academy was quietly added to the Royal Academy of the Great Qin Dynasty, and dozens of disciples of the Yin and Yang sect became the first batch of Astronomy Academy.
students of the college.
Nowadays, the Royal Academy is no longer a place where anyone can enter. Even disciples from the Confucian, Daoist, and Mo sects who want to enter the Royal Academy must pass the rigorous assessment of the Supervision Department of Zongzheng Mansion, and then only
You can enter the college as a student from an external college to attend classes. There is not much difference between students from an external college and students actually registered in the Royal College.
Regardless of whether they are students from the outer academy or registered students, their food and accommodation are arranged by the Empire. Even their clothes are simple and elegant black robes made by Shangfang. The only difference is that the students from the outer academy do not have the Royal Academy's badge on their chests.
Of course, the biggest difference is that students from the outer colleges cannot be included in the list of officials awarded by the Ministry of Civil Affairs before they pass the examination. They cannot also go out to teach in counties and counties.
The first day of September in the second year of Emperor Qin II.
Hu Hai officially issued an edict to the world to abolish the Zhuanxiang calendar and implement the newly compiled Da Qin calendar. The year of the First Emperor's birthday was the first year of the Da Qin calendar, which is 259 BC. Today is the second year of Da Qin II.

The six latest official documents are all registered using the latest Da Qin calendar for future inquiries.

Meng Kuo stood on a high mountain and looked at the roaring river below. He touched his bare head and frowned. Since his head was shaved, he would touch the bare head whenever he encountered difficulties.
It has become a habit of being broad-minded.
Behind Meng Kuo is a straight, flat avenue. Although it is not as wide as the Jiuyuan Straight Road, this avenue can accommodate at least ten war horses walking side by side. However, when the avenue reaches here, it encounters unprecedented difficulties.
The difficulty is the large river in front of us that cuts through the mountains into an almost insurmountable cliff. This large river has a famous name in later generations, called Lancang River!
