A group of Qin officials, who were unknowingly called "birds" by Dun Rui, continued to criticize Dun Rui, and the banquet was noisy.
Queen Afang finally left Ying Chengyu's side to take care of the young masters and princesses who were gathered together.
Ying Chengyu wiped his sweat and glared at the First Emperor angrily.
Why don't I just knock you out once, and how about bringing the emperor's wife out to scare me?
The First Emperor smiled happily, took a piece of venison with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
Let you make such a fuss!
Qin is a country that does not pay too much attention to etiquette.
At this kind of banquet, there is not much distinction between the king and his ministers. The most important thing is that everyone eats, drinks and has fun.
When the First Emperor walked into the Xuanniao Hall wearing ordinary clothes, he had already set the main tone for the banquet.
The First Emperor let the ministers scold him for a while, then he stood up and said with a smile: "What's the point of talking about people behind their backs? If you are not convinced or angry, then go out to find Zong Henghou to argue!"
Yao Jia faced him with a wry smile and replied loudly: "They all say that my famous master is a sophist. From today on, the word 'sophistry' should belong to Zongheng. I still don't know how to deal with it."
"If you are right, tell me first!" The First Emperor pointed at Ying Chengxuan and said, "A few years ago, this guy said this and made me so angry that I couldn't eat for two days!"
One of the ministers suddenly understood and said: "I never show off my words when I speak and argue. It turns out that these words came from the mouth of Lord Chang'an. No wonder, no wonder."
Another minister sneered and said, "Just now Lord Chang'an reacted for the first time. I was still thinking why Lord Chang'an was so quick-thinking today. It turns out that Marquis Zongheng did not learn from Duke Meng, but Lord Chang'an."
Going to Japan, more ministers will add fuel to the fire and make fun of Ying Chenglong.
But just now everyone saw the Queen and Ying Chengyu drinking together, and now most of them were watching, secretly wondering whether the Queen and Ying Chengyu had a personal relationship.
"Haha, if you have any grudges, take them out on this guy, just to show off my old spirit!"
The ministers don't say it, but the emperor can.
The First Emperor encouraged his ministers with a smile.
With the endorsement of the First Emperor, the officials no longer hesitated and besieged Ying Chengyu just as they had just besieged Dun Wen, even more fiercely than before.
But this siege did not reflect the officials' dislike of Ying Chengyu or any purpose they wanted to achieve. It was more of a joke.
As for the land-sharing feast, happiness is the most important thing.
"Ah, yes, yes, what you said is right!" Ying Chengyu nodded at the ministers as if he had just weakened, and said: "I still want to live longer, so I won't talk to you birdies. reason!"
The officials were suffocated.
Did you have any other words?
"Haha, if you guys can't eat today, you are all relying on yourself." The First Emperor laughed loudly, raised the wine bottle with both hands, and said to the ministers: "There is such a new phenomenon in the Qin Dynasty. Your hard work has made great achievements. I respect you all with a bottle." ! Please drink this bottle to the full!”
All the ministers knew that the First Emperor was not fond of drinking.
But today, I first offered Zongheng Hou Dunwei a bottle of wine and drank it to the full.
Now he offered another bottle to the ministers and drank to the full again.
The First Emperor's joy today can be seen at a glance.
The ministers were originally a little uneasy, fearing that the banquet in the Black Bird Palace would not be a good one, but now they are completely concerned about it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The unofficial Wei Xiang raised the bottle boldly and drank it all in one gulp with the First Emperor.
"Drink with His Majesty!"
Da Qin is no longer the only Chehou. Although Wang Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng, is old, he still remains heroic.
This banquet has gone away from the usual state of sleeping with eyes closed and saying nothing.
He picked up the wine bottle, raised his head, and poured all the strong wine into his belly.
His son Wang Ben followed Wang Jian's words and drank the strong wine in one gulp.
“It’s all thanks to His Majesty’s God!”
Many young generals and civil servants looked at the First Emperor with admiration in their eyes, shouted at the top of their lungs, and drank all the wine in the bottle. Longxi Marquis Li Xin was one of them.
They were all promoted by the First Emperor. If they were not the First Emperor, they would never have the chance to ascend Xianyang Palace or enter the Xuanniiao Palace in their lifetime.
In the eyes of these people, the First Emperor was their god.
A monarch who does not take into account the differences between countries, family opinions, and seniority, and only promotes talents.
A monarch who is not stingy with rewards, not prone to suspicion, willing to give them complete trust, and who can also share territory with them.
This is their god, the god of Qin, and the god of the world.
Wang Wan, Feng Quji, Li Si, Wei Liao, Zhang Han and others all said their own words, mostly praising the First Emperor.
No matter how old they are, whether they know how to drink or not, whether they like drinking or not, they all drink it down.
The First Emperor gave a bottle of wine.
There are no seats in Xuanniao Hall.
All civil and military ministers congratulated each other.
Laughter and laughter lifted the roof of the palace.
…
In a residential house in Xianyang City, Zhang Zi once met Ying Chengyu on the balcony. Zhang Zi, who left the meeting to avoid being imprisoned, stood in front of the window and looked in the direction of Xianyang Palace.
"The black bird soared into the sky, and thousands of birds followed it. As long as Ying Zheng dies, Qin will never be destroyed."
Tuk-tuk-tuk~
There was a knock on the door.
Zhang Zi was shocked.
How could someone knock on my door so late at night?
Looking back, I was even more frightened than before!
He saw a man in white clothes standing in front of the door!
The knock on the door just now was not made by this person from outside, but from inside.
The person who came was playing with a dagger in his hand, and his face was a little pale, as if he was still injured.
"Zhang Liang, Zhang Zifang." The visitor smiled at Zhang Zi and said, "Your Majesty invites you."
"Your Majesty, this is..."
"Shhh."
The figure of the man in white flashed, and he put the dagger on the neck of Zhang Liang, whose pseudonym was Zhang Zi, interrupting Zhang Liang's words with his actions, and raised a finger to his mouth.
"Do not talk."
The man in white rushed to Zhang Liang at an incredible speed and said with a half-smile.
"You have..."
"Oh, I won't cooperate."
The man in white hit Zhang Liang hard on the back of the head with the handle of his knife.
Unfortunately, Zhang Liang fainted on the spot before he could even utter a complete sentence.
"This doesn't look as powerful as your Majesty said. Is this the Korean who is the best at using magic in the world? You want me to scare me if I can't hear him say a complete sentence." The man in white said with some disappointment.
He was about to take Zhang Liang away when he suddenly felt dizzy. In shock, he hurriedly jumped out of the window with Zhang Liang.
Snap~
The sound alerted Zhang Liang's companion who was sleeping next door.
"Thieves, please leave!"
A strong man carrying a big hammer, wearing only a single coat, hurriedly broke out of the window and chased after the white figure.
Swish, brush, brush~
Eight wearing black light armor, all holding sharp cold knives in their hands, the stern and masked swordsmen intercepted the strong man.
The strong man was eager to save people, and he swung his hammer with all his strength to create a gap. He broke through eight people's interceptions and recovered Zhang Liang.
When ~
This hammer was swung out, and it was originally aimed at one person, but it was hit by eight knives.
A strong man can easily cut it with a sword, break the formation and go out to pursue it.
But when the eight swords came out at once, the strong man was shaken and retreated instead of advancing.
"What can you do to stop being reckless? You are obviously an assassin, but you are called a reckless man by your Majesty. Are you not ashamed?"
The man in white is Jing Ke. He was walking with others when he was stopped by a man in black shorts with his bare arms exposed.
"Don't make sarcastic remarks. How is your reputation as a scientist better than mine? I'm a little dizzy. Let's see what's going on."
The man with a black bunt called a scientist covered his mouth and nose and opened Zhang Liang's hand.
Zhang Liang's hands were wet and there were traces of yellow powder remaining.
For a moment, Jing Ke felt his dizziness getting worse and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose.
"This is a drug that I have never seen before. It is extremely powerful and worth studying."
The scientist tore off a piece of cloth from Zhang Liang's body, wiped the marks on Zhang Liang's hands, folded the piece of cloth twice, and then kicked it into his arms.
"Addicted to drugs? Why are you like this? Does he have some kind of mad disease?" Jing Ke was furious and said, "Does he take the antidote first every night?"
Although Jing Ke didn't finish his words, scientists understood what Jing Ke meant.
The drug does not distinguish between friend and foe, if one does not take the antidote.
If Jing Ke was about to faint, Zhang Liang would not be spared.
If he didn't have a mad disease, who would take the antidote every night before going to bed, and then spread the poison in the room - the medicine is three parts poison.
"Use your brain and realize that the drug did not dissolve. It was obviously a temporary wet. The drug should have been on his sleeve. He only wet the drug the first time you appeared in his sight. He did not take it. Antidote, you will be charmed with him, tomorrow he will have a companion.”
Jing Ke didn't believe it and said, "What you said is full of loopholes. If my companion arrived first, wouldn't he still have to be controlled?"
The scientist was too lazy to pay attention to Jing Ke and waved his hand to Jing Ke to take Zhang Liang away quickly.
Jing Ke couldn't get an explanation and refused to leave.
The scientist said helplessly: "You were charmed, which proves that the drug in the room was very strong. Your companion was not charmed when he entered?"
"Then his companion won't be charmed when he enters?"
"Won't his companion take the antidote in advance?"
"You just said that he didn't take the antidote first."
The scientist took a deep breath.
Can your Majesty expel this reckless man from the Chang'an Palace? What's the point of leaving such a brainless person? Is it annoying?
Jing Ke rolled his eyes and suddenly realized: "I understand. Zhang Liang didn't take the antidote and deliberately released the poison. When his companions don't see anyone else tomorrow, they will take the antidote first and come to the room to look for him. Among the seven countries, South Korea is the best In Korea, Zhang Liang is the best at martial arts. This thief is so treacherous, Your Majesty, you will not deceive me!"
The most skilled person in the world should be your Majesty.
The scientist thought silently.
"Go back quickly, don't let the stuttering wait."
"promise."
The reckless man walked away.
The figure of the scientist wavered, and in a moment he was on the battlefield between the strong man holding the hammer and the eight-swordsman.
"stop."
"only."
The Eight Swordsman responded and backed away.
The strong man had several stab wounds on his body and was bleeding profusely, but he remained brave and undiminished.
Seeing the eight swordsmen retreating, the strong man with red eyes rushed forward while keeping his hammer.
The scientist frowned, took out a small bag of unknown powder from his arms, and threw it on the ground where the strong man rushed towards him.
Peng~
There was a loud thunder on the ground!
Mud was splashing everywhere and the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air.
The strong man was blown to pieces and was knocked backwards by the impact of the explosion.
This explosion caused the strong man to escape the battle.
The strong man was holding a hammer and looking at the scientist angrily.
The scientist sighed softly and said, "I'm not good at fighting."
Eight Swordsman:......
Strong man:......
The strong man was about to scold the pretentious scientist in front of him when he suddenly noticed the word "Mo" on the scientist's collar.
The strong man's heart trembled, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you from the Mo family?"
"Everyone in the world is white, but I am the only one who is black." The scientist nodded and said, "I have heard for a long time that there is a brave man named Big Hammer. When I see him today, he is well-deserved."
The strong man stepped forward with a hammer in his hand.
Blood dripped onto the splattered dirt.
"I have friends with several Mo heroes. Since you are the Mo family, even if you are Qin Mo who works for Qin, I can't bear to kill you. Get out of the way!"
The scientist looked at the strong man breathing rapidly.
The smoke and dust from the explosion just entered the strong man's mouth and nose.
After roughly calculating the time, the scientist said: "My drug is also very powerful."
The strong man's eyelids are fighting, knowing something is wrong.
There was a rapid sound of wind coming from behind his head. Normally, the strong man could easily repel it, but today his reaction was half a beat slower.
This slow half-beat made the strong man's head hurt, his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground.
An armored man wearing exactly the same clothes as the Eight Swordsmen, holding a short dagger in his hand, stood behind where the strong man was standing just now.
The man with the dagger saluted the scientist and said, "Big man."
"I'm not Qin Mo, I'm from the Mo family." The scientist walked to the fallen man and said softly.
The sound of fighting and killing here cannot be hidden from the surrounding city defense troops patrolling.
A large group of city defense troops rushed here.
But when they arrived, nothing was left except traces of a fight.
What happened this night was continuously reported to the imperial court.
The First Emperor looked at it casually and ordered Zhao Gaodao: "If any such incident occurs in the future, they will be sent to the Chang'an Lord's Mansion."
But that’s a story for another day.
That night, all the disciples of the Yin and Yang family who were good at looking at Qi were everywhere in the world.
Everyone can see a mysterious black bird rising into the sky in the direction of Xianyang, followed by thousands of birds.
This black bird circled in the sky, then let out a sharp cry, leading thousands of birds into the starry sky.
That night, the stars shone brightly.
The Emperor Star shines brightly, its light is so dazzling that even the bright moon cannot match it.
…
Xianyang Palace.
Blackbird Hall.
During the feast.
Drinking and drinking each other.
The ministers of the State of Qin, you respect me, I respect you, the sound of clinking glasses is heard all the time, and they talk without restraint.
Qu Shui Shang.
Xuanniiao Hall has a river made of fine copper, into which clear water is poured.
There are constant maids and eunuchs placing snacks, delicacies, and wine on carefully crafted vessels that can float on the water.
The vessel is put into the water and flows along the river channel made of brass, allowing anyone to take it.
joy of spring.
There are beautiful people dancing gracefully, and beautiful people dance even more beautifully.
There is a beautiful woman singing a poem in response, and the poem moves with the person, just right.
There were actresses entering the palace to perform, but the performance was not singing and dancing, but a drama similar to that of later generations.
The dramas are all events of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as Shang Yang's move to Mu as Trustee, Zhang Yi's departure from the Six Kingdoms, King Wu of Qin aspired to the throne of the Zhou Dynasty...
Tonight's Black Bird Palace.
It was very lively and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
The trick of the parallel system of prefectures and states and the promotion of favor orders was not obvious to all the ministers.
On the contrary, most people can see that these people are the smartest people of this era.
But the problem is that on the eve of the implementation of the parallel system of prefectures and states, the enfeoffment system lost the debate between the system of prefectures and counties, and the ministers were ready for the First Emperor to directly implement the system of prefectures and counties.
At this time, the First Emperor broke his promise and became rich, his dignity was damaged, and he was still willing to divide the land with the ministers. This made the ministers unmoved.
And before that, the title of Qin could not be hereditary.
The sons of Chehou had some status when Chehou was alive, but after Chehou died he became a commoner.
It is undeniable that if the son of Chehou wants military glory, it will be much easier than ordinary civilians, and there will be people to take care of him.
But in general, or at least on the surface, it is still necessary to fight bit by bit according to the military merit system.
Now the title can be downgraded and hereditary, which is a great benefit.
The ministers' support for the First Emperor reached an unprecedented level.
Although the ministers knew it.
Once enfeoffed, the Qin law that titles are not hereditary will probably need to be changed - who is willing to dedicate their land?
But facing the First Emperor, the supreme god who unified the world.
The ministers were really unsure.
If the First Emperor could conquer the Six Kingdoms, he could conquer them all again.
If the hereditary rule is not changed, even if the enfeoffment is accepted, according to Qin law, after the death of the person who enfeoffs the enfeoffment, the fiefdom should return to the hands of the Qin king.
Rather than fearing being permanently enfeoffed, it would be better to impose restrictions and enfeoff in a castrated way.
Although the fiefdom was divided into three after his death, think about it from another perspective.
After the eldest and second child dies, isn't it good that the third child can continue the generation and not become extinct?
Later generations called this risk sharing in writing. As the old Chinese saying goes, eggs are not placed in the same basket.
The Zhuge family did this during the Three Kingdoms period. The three families of Wei, Shu, and Wu made bets together.
Don't believe what Zhuge Liang said, "I am a commoner and work hard in Nanyang". This is Zhuge Wuhou's self-effacing words.
Which farmer brings a book boy?
Which farmer has so much financial resources to read so many books?
Which farmer could know Sima Hui and Xu Shu and be strongly recommended to Liu Bei by them?
The banquet at Xuanniiao Hall reached its climax.
Ying Chengyu watched the happy scene of the monarch and his ministers united, and felt very calm in his heart.
Steady, steady.
Wang Wan, Feng Quji, Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Wei Liao, Yao Jia and other fierce men are all here, and they are all loyal to the emperor brother.
How could I lose this wave of flying dragon riders?
I don't believe that the Qin Dynasty can still die in two generations.
"You gentlemen, you can keep your composure. Except for Cheng Xi, no one has spoken to me about dividing the land. In this case, I will take charge of this matter."
The First Emperor was sitting on a high seat with his legs together, and his expression suddenly became serious.
The expressions of the ministers were not the usual cautious one, but full of surprise.
Because they know.
The First Emperor's seriousness this time was not to exert imperial power, but to exert imperial favor, and to divide the land with them.
Zhao Gao, Gai Nie.
One person holds a scroll of bamboo slips.
One looked respectful, the other expressionless.
The bamboo slips were placed on the table in front of the First Emperor.
The eyes of the officials followed the two bamboo slips.
If what they expected was right, it should be their soil there!
When ~
The First Emperor placed the King of Qin's Sword on the table.
The ministers all had their faces solemn, and they all sat upright with their chests held high.
The First Emperor opened a scroll of bamboo slips.
The hearts of the ministers were beating wildly.
"The Marquis of Wucheng, Wang Jian, already has a fiefdom in Wucheng. Now he will fief it again..."
"Your Majesty, wait a minute, I have something to say."
This word.
It broke the harmonious atmosphere between monarch and ministers.
Interrupting the words of the First Emperor Ying Zheng.
This aroused the murderous intention of Wang Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng.
The officials looked at him angrily.
Your Majesty is dividing the soil. Is there anything you can say that cannot be said after the division is completed?
Focus on one person.
He is a disciple of Confucianism and an official servant.
His surname is Chunyu and his given name is Yue.
The First Emperor stopped reading suddenly and raised his head with a smile, as if his mood was not affected at all.
"If you have anything to say, tell me."
