Ying Chengxuan was not convinced by Zhao Gongming's words. This kind of statement based on speculation was really unconvincing.
He laughed it off and followed the First Emperor around the famous mountains and rivers in Hangu Pass.
To the east of Mount Wei, there are five famous mountains for worship and two large rivers.
To the west of Huashan, there are seven famous mountains for worship and four great rivers.
During this period, except for the time when the First Emperor was having fun with his concubines, he spent most of the remaining time riding in a royal carriage with a certain unlucky son.
When he went out, the First Emperor not only brought his ministers and officials, but also his concubines.
Although the internal meaning of this tour was to lure out the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and suppress them, on the outside, even Ying Chengyu, who knew all the inside story, couldn't help complaining.
"No wonder the emperor's reputation in later generations is not very good. This is all his own doing! I thought he took Xia Wuqi to protect his safety, but it turned out to be to protect his waist!"
It was not that there were no ministers advising the First Emperor to restrain himself and send his concubines back to Xianyang.
"Dayu passed through the house three times in order to control the floods without entering. I hope your majesty will learn from it."
Jianchen also felt that he was off the mark.
Huang Di, Dayu, and Shun all did this kind of procession, but I have never heard of any holy king taking a female retinue with him.
Moreover, as long as they were not climbing steep mountains and the concubines were poor in martial arts and could not enter the mountains, the First Emperor would spend almost every day having fun with his concubines.
Such debauchery is definitely not the behavior of a wise king!
"Under the rule of Dayu, the territory of Qin was as large as that of Qin? How can it compare with me?"
The first emperor's arrogant reply made all the remonstrating officials speechless.
The word "emperor" is because the First Emperor believed that his achievements were unparalleled throughout the ages and could not be matched by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. All the titles in ancient times could not show his nobility, so he took one word for each of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
The First Emperor didn't even look down on the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and Dayu had no respect for him.
Privately, Ying Chengyu criticized his eldest brother for being too proud and could not continue like this.
The First Emperor sneered in response.
"On official matters, I listen to advice from all directions.
"No one can interfere with my private affairs!
"These poor and rotten scholars who cannot lift a sword or wield a staff can only talk!"
Knowing that the First Emperor was not blindly arrogant, Ying Chengxuan didn't worry anymore. He was not the one who was written down in the history books.
I followed Tai Shi Ling and recorded the history book which was exciting and sad at the same time.
The excitement lies in having something big to remember.
Many emperors, including the two most famous kings who lost their country - Xia Jie and Shang Zhou, did not live in debauchery every day. This is an unprecedented typical case. As long as the history of Qin is not lost in the future, this tour account will definitely not be deleted by later historians.
The sad thing is that this is not a good thing.
As the historian of the Qin State, what he wanted to remember was to unify the six kingdoms, unite the four seas, and make all people surrender. Instead of the emperor going on a tour, he stayed in a carriage with different concubines every day for fifteen days.
When he had nothing to do, Ying Chengyu recalled the history books of later generations.
I don’t remember any history book that records such absurdity during Qin Shihuang’s tour. On the contrary, most historical books record that the First Emperor worked hard and stayed up all night to review memorials when he was away from home.
He was a little unsure. This real experience was lost in the long river of history. It was he, the little butterfly, who flapped his wings and created a different scenery.
"It must have sunk in the long river of history! This kind of debauchery has nothing to do with Naigong!"
As Ying Chengyu spoke, he casually punched Zhao Gongming beside him, causing the colorful black tiger to grin and warn him not to bully his master.
"Are you going to offer me some shitty elixir?
"You are a disciple of a fairy family, and you don't want to refine elixirs. You refine elixirs to strengthen the kidneys and produce essence. Do you have any serious illness?
"You don't use cinnabar to make elixirs, you use herbs. What are you doing to rob the doctor? Nai Gong met Xia Wu for the first time and added a prescription!"
The ability of the First Emperor to be so powerful and powerful was inseparable from Zhao Gongming.
It was precisely because of the elixir offered by Zhao Gongming that the First Emperor was able to indulge in such excessive lust without losing Qi and blood. This was something that even Xia Wuji, the descendant of the medical family, could not do.
Today, Zhao Gongming is not only a doctor in the doctoral department with an annual salary of 600 dan, but also a top official in the Qin Empire, with an annual salary of 2,000 dan.
With Zhao Gongming's consent, the pill for strengthening the kidneys, producing sperm, and greatly tonifying the pills has been included in Xia Wuqi's prescriptions and will be passed on to other medical students. Xia Wuqi has not added new prescriptions for five years.
The dark-faced strong man looked wary.
"Taking cinnabar is poisonous. Does Mr. Chang'an want to murder Your Majesty?"
Ying Cheng is holding his forehead.
"I don't know if Naigong's way of opening it is wrong. Why don't you immortals have normal people? You don't want to become immortals, so you all study the affairs of men and women."
Zhang Cang, the disciple of the Shenxian family that Ying Chengyu first met, was a frequent visitor to the terrace.
Zhao Gongming cursed secretly.
He has been with Ying Chengxuan for so long and learned a lot about Ying Chengxuan's past deeds. He found that the person in the worst mental state in the entire team was the Chang'an Lord.
Not to mention that the emperor's younger brother would occasionally say some nonsense that no one could understand.
Just a normal person, who would defy heaven and declare war on heaven in front of a crowd of people who worship God devoutly during a ceremony to worship heaven. Who would shout "no noble" in front of all the nobles?
Zhao Gongming even suspected that the benevolence he felt at the beginning was an illusion. It would be great for such a crazy person to survive. Do you expect him to change His Majesty and save Qin? Your Majesty, please save him!
“The kidneys govern water, store essence, receive qi, and generate marrow.
"The kidneys are the foundation of innateness and the source of life. All disciples of the immortal family attach great importance to the kidneys."
Ying Chengqiao chuckled.
"So, I don't know if the disciples of the Immortal Family can become immortals through cultivation, but they all have good kidneys? Northern Myanmar welcomes you."
Zhao Gongming heard about northern Myanmar for the first time.
"Northern Burma, is this the name of a place? I wonder where it is. Is it a gathering place for the disciples of my Immortal Family?"
Ying Chengyu smiled brightly.
"No, that's a special place."
"..."
Zhao Gongming turned his face away, sat upright, and sighed in his heart.
One month later, the First Emperor finally walked out of Hangu Pass. The first place he came out of was Han, where there were no remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
He said that Han was close to the country, and he was the first to submit to Qin. Looking at the development of Han, we can know what the future of these places will be like in the next ten years.
In fact, the First Emperor was forcibly brought here by a certain prince.
Of course, the First Emperor himself really wanted to see what Han Di had become under the control of a certain son.
Although the memorials have never been interrupted, what is written on the paper is not necessarily the same as what is actually read.
The First Emperor, who had been at the bottom, was very experienced in this.
In the memorial placed in front of the king of Zhao, there are only singing and dancing in Handan, and there will be no frozen corpses on winter nights.
Yangcheng.
The city gates are wide open.
In Xianyang City, when the First Emperor was traveling, the people knelt down and worshiped on both sides of the Chi Road to see him off.
But in Yangcheng, except for the county magistrate Cui Guang who led a group of Yangcheng officials who were waiting for the First Emperor's motorcade, no one was forced to welcome the First Emperor.
The people of Yangcheng didn't even know that the First Emperor would enter the city today. They gathered in twos and threes in front of the city gate because they saw Magistrate Cui standing in front of the city gate to greet him after he had not been seen for a long time, so they consciously came here.
Magistrate Cui is the emperor of Yangcheng and the greatest official in the eyes of the people of Yangcheng.
How noble it is to be able to stand in front of the city gate to greet people during their Heavenly Mao hour. How can you not watch this excitement?
As the First Emperor's royal carriage gradually approached the city gate, the people of Yangcheng were dazzled by the various flags and flags fluttering, the Qin army with bright armor, and the glamorous palace maids.
They have never seen such a luxurious scene.
"The king is nothing more than that."
The people who had lived in Yangcheng all their lives opened their mouths and sighed. The king in their mouths was the King of Han whom they knew but had never seen. They have longed for the prosperity of Xinzheng all their lives, but not many people are lucky enough to see it with their own eyes.
"Not even close!"
The people who had been to Xinzheng and saw the King Han's pomp also opened their mouths and sighed.
The guards they saw in Xinzheng were not as powerful as the guards in front of them, and the horses were not as insane as the horses in front of them. The motorcade in front of them was much better than the King of Han!
Chen Sheng, dressed as a peasant, squeezed into the crowd and looked at the First Emperor's motorcade, the beautiful tiger that followed the team, the soldiers of the Qin army holding swords to kill, and a group of beautiful and extraordinary maids. He was extremely shocked.
"This is King Qin!"
The one closest to him was a man who was dressed like him, had a stronger body, and had strong facial lines.
The man was also stunned by the motorcade. He came back to his senses after hearing the words of his friend beside him. He swallowed hard, but his eyes were still reluctant to leave the motorcade.
"Only King Qin can do this!"
Chen Sheng was so envious that he put his arms around the neck of the man next to him.
"Wu Guang, if one day you and I become rich, we must not forget each other."
Wu Guang also responded with a look of envy, imagining that one day he could ride in a cart drawn by four horses.
"As long as you are rich and noble, don't forget each other."
Several farmers next to the two couldn't help laughing when they heard their words.
"You are people who are hired to farm, how do you get wealth? You should first pay off the money you owe the government!"
Although Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and they are both farmers, they are different from each other.
They are civilians, with names and no names.
After Cui Guang arrived, they allocated fields to the government and cultivated their own land for themselves.
As for Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, they turned out to be nobles with surnames.
Originally imprisoned in prison, Cui Guang granted amnesty after his arrival, and the two of them were also pardoned.
The two of them were guilty when the land was divided and are still in prison. After the two were pardoned, the fields had been divided.
When they were released in winter, the government provided accommodation and food for them to keep them alive. Now in spring, the two of them are cultivating the government's land to repay the money and grain for the winter.
There are dozens of people like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who say more or less. Without exception, they are all ostracized and targeted by the people.
The aristocratic status they were originally proud of is now the source of discrimination for them.
Wu Guang looked slightly angry and was about to get angry.
Chen Sheng stopped his friend and looked at the ordinary people around him with disdain.
"Does the sparrow understand the ambition of the swan?"
The people around him were still laughing at him, and some of them had doubts in their hearts.
The Yangcheng defenders forced the people back with their guns and cleared a road for the Emperor's motorcade. They stood on both sides of the road and looked at the tall four-horse king's chariot, many of them with expressions of admiration on their faces.
They stared intently, hoping that the First Emperor would lift the curtain so that they could see the Emperor's face. This would be the glory of their lives.
Unifying the Central Plains, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty was their only god in the world.
They didn't know that the First Emperor they admired was not actually in the car. They had actually met the First Emperor.
In the Langguan team.
One of the servants was a little nervous, his face looked the same as the other servants, but his hand holding the gun was always trembling slightly.
He never thought in his life that one day, among the twenty officials he managed, there would be two of the most powerful people in the Qin Dynasty.
Directly behind him was the leader of the Qin Empire, the First Emperor Ying Zheng, who had changed into the attire of a Langguan!
In order to see the close-up view of Yangcheng, Ying Zheng deliberately did not commit himself to Si Mawang's carriage.
Behind Xia Lang and to the left of Ying Zheng is the most powerful minister in the history of the Qin Empire - Chang'an Jun Ying Chengyu.
Ying Chengxuan didn't want to dress up as a royal official. He wanted to lie comfortably in King Sima's carriage and answer Cui Guang's words for the emperor's brother. It was Ying Zhengfei who dragged him down.
The motorcade was neither fast nor slow, marching according to established rules. The kicking and beating of horses' hooves was irregular, but overall it was rhythmic.
The First Emperor held Changge in his hand, and his eagle eyes scanned the people of Yangcheng who stretched their necks on both sides of the road and looked curiously.
"These people don't seem to be afraid of me. There is no awe in their eyes when they look at me."
The First Emperor was a little confused.
He destroyed these people's countries and asked them to abandon Korean characters and use simplified characters. Why don't these people hate him?
“This is the people’s sentiment that my brother and I talked about, and Han Di is the best example.
"South Korea has a big culture of 'technical skills'. People are very careful about everything they do and are proud of conspiracy. How can such a South Korea give birth to people who are proud of South Korea and are willing to die for South Korea?
"Although martial arts are not prevalent in the Qin State, if the brutal martial arts continues, new people will continue to be recruited, and people will not be able to win over them.
"These people don't regard themselves as Qin people, and one day they will bite the Qin State. One day, the Qin State will be destroyed, and the new king's fleet will patrol the world. This is how they look in their eyes."
The First Emperor carefully observed the expressions of every citizen and thought carefully.
"If I give them land and titles, they will be willing to use them for me and for the Qin Dynasty to attack everything."
Ying Chengqiao smiled.
"But how much land does the emperor have? How many titles does the emperor have? Can the emperor allow everyone in front of him to have land and title?"
The First Emperor said solemnly:
"I don't need everyone to have land or titles. As long as the path to military success remains unchanged, some of them will benefit from their relatives and friends, and they will receive titles from the people. The rest will naturally be driven by me when they see benefits."
Ying Chengyu nodded in agreement.
“Legalism’s profit-oriented management style is indeed the best way in troubled times.
"But these are not troubled times, and seeking only profit will only harm the Qin Dynasty. I have already told the emperor brother about the disadvantages of this ethos.
"If things go on like this, Great Qin will become a country where everyone only pursues profit. The prevailing style of 'profit' is no better than the style of 'skill'."
