After worshiping the ancestors and queens of Qin in the Ancestral Temple in the old palace of Yongcheng, Ying Zheng and others got back on the carriage and drove towards another palace in the suburbs.
That palace is called Qinian Palace.
Qi means praying.
Qinian Palace was built during the period of Qin Huigong (about 490 BC). It was a palace built by Qin Huigong to worship Houji, the god of agriculture, and to pray for a good harvest. Therefore, it became a place where the kings of the Qin Dynasty worshiped and stayed.
If a young king is crowned, or a prince is crowned, he will often come to this Qinian Palace to pray for God's blessing.
Ying Zheng's four-horse chariot was moving forward at a very slow speed. He poked his head out of the car from time to time to watch, and it could be seen that Ying Zheng seemed to be a little impatient and anxious.
However, Ying Zheng's eagerness hurt those who could only follow on foot.
The maids and chamberlains are all carefully selected, and those who are healthy and have good physical strength are better.
But the young Gan Luo was a little overwhelmed.
Gan Luo held a lacquer plate in his hand, with a piece of silk cloth lying quietly on it. The little hand holding the lacquer plate was slippery. Under the green robe, traces of wetness gradually appeared, and some strands of the flowing long hair were tangled together due to sweat.
Zhang Ji glanced at the two people beside him. The lacquer plate holding Jue Bian in his hand did not move at all, and he still kept moving forward with normal breathing, as if this speed was nothing in his eyes.
Ying Chengyu on the side is in a good condition. The Qin Dynasty advocates martial arts, and all the clan members must practice martial arts. The art of war is also a required subject for the clan members.
The Qin Dynasty has always had the habit of allowing clan members to join the army, such as Duke Xiao's younger brother Chief Fu Gongzi Qian, King Huiwen's younger brother "Zhitan" Ying Ji, "崤Han Liehu" Ying Hua, King Zhaoxiang's younger brother Ying Si, etc. Wait... As long as there are children, all the kings of Qin will send their sons into the army.
This is not only to boost morale and tell the Qin soldiers that their relatives and descendants are also fighting together in the army, but also to better control the military power.
Although the Qin State has various precautions against rebellion, it would be the safest if the descendants of the Ying Qin clan were in charge of the army.
Therefore, Ying Chengyu was trained by Ying Zichu since he was a child, and was also sent to the army to learn the art of war and battle formation fighting techniques. Although his martial arts skills are not as good as Zhang Ji's, he can still be regarded as a man who has endured hardships and marched in the army and has a strong body. This kind of physical exertion is not bad for Ying Chengyu.
However, Gan Luo's expression seemed to be getting worse and worse, and his jade-like face was completely red.
As a deportee, according to etiquette, there is no rule that you cannot ride in a carriage, but if you don't take a carriage, it is the most appropriate way.
However, Gan Luo seemed to be a little obsessed with etiquette and liked to pursue perfection, and was unwilling to get on the carriage. Even Zhang Ji and Ying Chengyu had to walk with him to Qinian Palace.
Noticing that the empty carriage they were riding in was always following them, Zhang Ji directly picked up Gan Luo's collar with one hand.
The young body was easily lifted up by Zhang Ji. His limbs were struggling, and his eyes were filled with resentment, just like some cute little beast struggling in the hands of a hunter.
Zhang Ji directly threw Gan Luo into the carriage through the window of the carriage, and got into the carriage with the smiling Ying Chengyu.
Gan Luo, who looked at the two people crowded around him, hesitated for a moment, a look of hesitation flashed on his pink cheeks, but he still sincerely listened to his body's true thoughts and sat in the carriage obediently. On the way, he bowed secretly to Zhang Ji to express his gratitude.
He knew that Zhang Ji was by no means a person who wanted to take things easy. With Zhang Ji's endurance and demeanor, he would never really want to ride in the carriage, but was thinking about him.
Seeing this, Zhang Ji just smiled lightly.
It's hard not to like the polished Gan Luo, especially since Gan Luo is only twelve or thirteen years old now and is just a toddler. Whether it's because of his handsome face or the idea of taking care of children, Zhang Ji will help.
Moreover, Gan Luo seems to be the future star soul of the left guardian of the Yin Yang family.
Although I don’t know what happened to Gan Luo in the meantime, Gan Luo was very talented in both martial arts and onmyoji.
No matter which aspect you look at, it’s just a matter of effort.
…
As the motorcade arrived outside the Qinian Palace, Ying Zheng and his party finally got off the carriage and arrived outside the Qinian Palace.
The palace door was closed tightly and was not opened immediately to welcome Ying Zheng and others.
Ying Zheng and others were not in a hurry, they just waited silently.
The crowning ceremony also requires divination of good times and auspicious times. Before the auspicious times arrive, the palace gate will naturally not be opened.
After two moments, the palace door of Qinian Palace finally slowly opened, and the palace doors were also opened one after another under the push of the chamberlains and maids.
As Ying Zheng stepped into the Qinian Palace, the originally dark sky suddenly became brighter. The bright sunshine instantly filled the Qinian Palace. A large-scale band played cheerful ritual music on both sides of the passage. The crowning celebrations began.
The sound of trumpets and drums shook the earth, as if to inform the whole world that the auspicious time had arrived.
However, no one except Zhang Ji knew that this auspicious time was not only an auspicious time for the crown, but also an auspicious time for Qin.
Because the driver of Qin's chariot is about to be replaced by Lu Buwei, the prime minister, to his real monarch, a driver who will drive this chariot to conquer the world and realize the dreams of Qin monarchs and kings in the past.
"Welcome Your Majesty!"
The chamberlains and maids on both sides spoke first, followed by the Yulin Army who had already taken over the defense of Qinian Palace.
Wang Ben, Yang Wengzi, Feng Wuze, Tu Ju, Ren Xiao and others led their men and shouted loudly: "The Qin Dynasty will last ten thousand years, and the king will last ten thousand years!"
"The Qin Dynasty lasts for ten thousand years, and the king lasts for ten thousand years!"
The more than 10,000 Yulin troops guarding the Qinian Palace shouted in unison at the top of their lungs. Their voices seemed to pierce the sky and reach the sky, telling the heaven, earth, people and gods that their king would be crowned today.
Ying Zheng looked at these Yulin troops. Although the sound was too loud and made people's ears feel uncomfortable. The female relatives such as Zhao Ji, Queen Mother Huayang and Queen Mother Xia even covered their ears and looked uncomfortable, but Ying Zheng was Very excited.
Because these Qin troops are the generals of the Yulin Army and are his most loyal soldiers.
The hoarse they shout, doesn't it mean the more loyal they are?
In fact, these generals and soldiers of the Yulin Army were even more excited than Ying Zheng, and their faces were all red.
Just like Ying Zheng's thoughts, in their eyes, they are also Ying Zheng's most loyal soldiers and the direct troops of King Qin.
While they loved the King of Qin who had saved countless victims during the locust plague even though he had to bear infamy, their own honor and disgrace were bound to this King of Qin. Naturally, they were also the group of people who most hoped that Ying Zheng could be crowned and take charge.
As a praiser, Xunzi was dressed mysteriously. He stood on the high platform with Ying Zheng and others. He looked at the crowd like a mountain and a tsunami, and his heart moved slightly.
Although he did not agree with many of Qin's policies, Qin was indeed the country with the greatest potential to unify the world, and the people of Qin were so united.
With such a strong national power, such a down-to-earth and united people, a wise and benevolent king, and capable and loyal ministers, if such a country cannot unify the world, then which country can... No, in other words, which country is worthy of unifying the world? ?
