The sun sets in the west.
The dim stars lit up from the sky, the black velvet night covered the sky and the earth, and firewood rose from Xianyang City.
Ying Zheng didn't know what happened thousands of years later, but the butterfly's wings had already been flapping.
In the ancient Xianyang Imperial City, Ying Zheng at this time had already absorbed the elixirs from the Second Wonder Relics and successfully advanced to the Nine Heavens Foundation Building.
In addition, he also ordered Zhao Tuo and others to act secretly to prepare for the enthronement ceremony to take this opportunity to build the third wonder ruins and actively respond to the upcoming crisis.
And just as it was recorded thousands of years later.
Xianyang tonight.
It’s not just Ying Zheng who is preparing.
With the upcoming enthronement ceremony, the entire Xianyang city has also taken action.
To be precise, it started a few days ago.
Because this is the face of Qin after all, and the accession of a country's king to the throne is the top priority.
Although Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang competed for power, intrigued, and wanted to overwhelm Ying Zheng on the day he came to the throne, in the end they were also fighting for the Great Qin!
The strength of Great Qin is fundamental. No one wants to see an old and weak Great Qin after taking control of the political power.
Naturally, the two of them would not do anything that would harm Da Qin's face.
Da Qin's face and beating Ying Zheng, these two things do not interfere or conflict.
On the contrary, in order to ensure the complete operation of the enthronement ceremony, the two even had a tacit understanding and mobilized a large number of manpower!
"quick!"
"quick!"
"Everyone take action!"
The lights are bright.
In Xianyang Imperial City, an indifferent voice sounded.
This is a middle-aged man wearing a thick black gold robe. He is the chief minister of Guanglu Temple in the Qin Dynasty. He is a person who is responsible for sacrifices, court meetings, and banquets.
Next to him, there was the young minister of Guanglu Temple, who also held his sleeves with his hands, looking at the hurried maids around him, and scolded them harshly.
"Tomorrow is the day when your Majesty ascends the throne!"
"If it's delayed, which of you can afford it?"
"Why don't you hurry up and take action!"
"Here!"
Thousands of pretty palace maids responded sweetly.
Wearing gorgeous silks and holding candlesticks and utensils made of gold, they were scattered throughout the imperial city under the command of the high ministers and young ministers of Guanglu Temple, placing many items in every corner of the palaces of the Qin Dynasty. .
Looking at the large number of palace maids, Guanglu Temple Prime Minister who was in charge of meals and the chief clerk also scolded them!
"Everyone should speed up the pace and must not be held back!"
"must remember!"
"Be sure to finish all the food preparations before midnight today!"
“You never get tired of eating!”
"What we represent is the face of Da Qin!"
"Here!"
Fireworks are floating!
In the Imperial City of Qin, the chefs are already on full fire.
Pieces of chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, pigs, geese and rabbits were slaughtered, and the fresh flesh and blood were processed cleanly under the hands of more than a hundred of Da Qin's top chefs.
Two eunuchs from Guanglu Temple followed the chief minister, preparing all kinds of delicacies for tomorrow's enthronement ceremony banquet.
And not just inside Xianyang Imperial City!
Outside Xianyang Imperial City, countless people also took action!
That's the Xianyang Garrison!
Each of these warriors selected from the millions of troops of the Great Qin Dynasty has a tall and tall body, and has the power to be invincible!
There are even some captains with a faint aura of heaven and earth spreading on their bodies!
They took three steps to one post and five steps to one sentry, densely packed inside and outside Xianyang!
As the night fell, many members of the Xianyang garrison, each holding a spear in hand and wearing heavy armor.
The dark chain mail covered every inch of their skin, and a pair of eagle-like eyes scanned all directions!
In the dark night, it looks like thousands of heavy iron towers, standing inside and outside Xianyang City!
In addition to these actions of the royal family, the people of Xianyang also took action one after another!
With the upcoming ceremony of Ying Zheng's accession to the throne, the curfew in the entire Xianyang city was also relaxed for a few hours.
Today, Xianyang City is full of bright lights.
The hot summer brings scorching wind, and many people are cheering for the upcoming enthronement ceremony!
Countless people are preparing, and countless people are looking forward to this happening.
The whole city of Xianyang was lively, filled with laughter and laughter everywhere.
But amidst this joy, not many people knew that an impending turbulent undercurrent was slowly surging above Xianyang City.
"It's really lively."
"The Ceremony of King Qin's Accession to the Throne."
In the silent attic, the man said with a smile.
The starlight shone down, revealing a middle-aged man.
He looked to be about thirty-four years old. He was wearing a blue robe with narrow sleeves, a large collar, and a right hem.
A gorgeous pattern of flying clouds and standing phoenixes is embroidered on his generous lapel, and he wears a flat, skip-shaped crown on his head.
He was tall and handsome, with an emerald-green bamboo fan in front of him. He was calmly filling a pot of good hot tea, and he carried the aura of a superior person in his every move.
"Who says it isn't?"
Opposite him, there was a middle-aged man. Both of them were dressed similarly, with the same wealth and magnificence. The only difference was that this man did not have a bamboo fan, but a transparent one on his hand. Jadeite finger.
Rubbing his finger gently, the man looked down at the brightly lit city with a gentle smile, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his dark eyes.
"In less than five years, two monarchs have died. The once huge Qin State is now controlled by a woman and a businessman. It is really ironic."
"With such a huge pomp, do Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang really think that pooping in such a grand manner can show off the majesty of the Qin State?"
"Haha." His name was Guo Wei, but he was actually Dayan's envoy to Qin. He smiled and shook his head, slowly leaning on the bamboo chair, admiring the customs of this foreign capital, "No Satire."
"Since the death of King Qin Zhaoxiang, the celestial phenomena of the Qin Dynasty observed in the Dayan Star Observatory have been declining."
"Especially King Xiaowen of Qin and King Zhuang Xiang also died suddenly one after another. After Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang fought for power, the fortune of the Qin Dynasty plummeted."
"At this moment, the internal struggle in Qin is the best thing for us."
Star observatory is the name of an institution belonging to many big countries. There are practitioners and magicians summoned from all over the country. They can call the wind and rain, observe the sky and stars, and measure the destiny of a country.
There are several such institutions among hundreds of scholars.
Hearing this, the Yan envoy wearing a jade wrench picked up a cup of tea and said with a smile: "That's true. Regarding this, do you know where the Wei envoy went to visit? If you As expected, I went to Mrs. Huayang's side."
"It seems that not only us, but also the six countries are willing to watch the two forces of Qin compete with each other."
Guo Wei nodded slightly and shook his bamboo fan. He was not surprised.
As the grandson of Guo Wei, who was once the wise man of the Yan Dynasty and the emperor's master, who once spent thousands of gold to buy bones and build a golden platform to attract the world's talented people to join the Yan Kingdom, Guo Wei had expected this early.
Today's Qin Dynasty has two major forces, one is the upstart force headed by Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji, and the remaining established force of the Mi family is headed by Mrs. Quanyang Jun of Huayang.
The two forces are now fighting fiercely, putting the huge Qin Dynasty in danger.
This was naturally what they wanted to see. The tyranny and strength of the Qin State were still vivid in their minds. The deaths of King Qin Zhaoxiang and King Zhuang Xiang made all the people of the Six Kingdoms breathe a sigh of relief.
No one is willing to let the two forces currently fighting within Qin reconcile.
Yan, Zhao and Han visited Lu Buwei, and Qi Chu visited Mrs. Huayang.
In order to maintain balance, the Wei envoys would naturally visit Mrs. Huayang.
Even this late arrival may have been intentional by the Wei envoys.
"I'm not too curious about the step taken by the Wei envoy." Guo Wei said calmly, holding a cup of tea, gently skimming off the floating young leaves with the tea lid, and smiled, feeling quite happy.
"I just want to see how Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang will fight for power at tomorrow's enthronement ceremony, and what methods they will use to suppress this young master's government."
Hearing this, the envoys accompanying Guo Wei also laughed immediately.
"Hahaha, it's true. I'm also looking forward to how Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang will treat the future Little Qin King at tomorrow's enthronement ceremony."
"How can this Qin Kingdom's fortune and celestial phenomena be extended?"
Guo Wei smiled and nodded.
According to intelligence, the eldest son of the Qin State, Zizheng, was less than thirteen years old and was still far away from reaching the age of crown.
Moreover, he was the son of King Zhuangxiang of Qin when he was a hostage in the State of Zhao. He had been back in the State of Qin for less than four years and had no influence at all.
How can he support Qin's fortune and destiny?
Guo Wei gently picked up the bamboo fan on the table and shook it, his eyes playful.
Although on the surface it was Qin Gong Zizheng who came to the throne, in the final analysis, Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang were just supporting puppets to take the throne.
I heard that a few days ago, this young master Zheng went into a rage in the royal city of Xianyang and killed a general of the Mi family. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, it is obviously not something to be afraid of.
I just don’t know whether in the end of this power struggle, the upstart forces represented by Lu Buwei will win, or the established forces represented by Mrs. Huayang will remain firmly in the rear.
Guo Wei felt that the best person to win would be Mrs. Huayang.
Although Lu Buwei was born as a businessman, the battle to destroy the Zhou Dynasty a few years ago made them aware of how much energy this seemingly frail old man had in his body.
certainly.
These are all things for later.
Whether Lu Buwei or Mrs. Huayang wins, Qin's strength is destined to decline significantly.
This decline is not a simple drop, which is enough to make Qin fall from the throne of the current leader of the Seven Kingdoms. This is an indisputable fact.
However, you will definitely not be able to see this when you come this time. The power struggle between Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang will take some time to end, especially after they invaded the Six Kingdoms.
This time, Guo Wei and many envoys from the six countries came here mainly because they wanted to watch the fun.
The future King of Qin, the most powerful king of the Seven Kingdoms, was beaten by two forces in turn when he came to the throne.
There is no doubt that this will definitely be a great topic of conversation in the future.
And the matter itself is interesting enough.
'Snapped'
Gently fan the bamboo fan.
The breeze blows.
Guo Wei turned his head and looked at the brightly lit city not far away. He pointed at the tall royal city with his bamboo fan, a cheerful smile on his face.
"Make a bet."
"There will definitely be a big show at tomorrow's enthronement ceremony."
In fact, it was not just Guo Wei, the envoy of Yan State!
This mission to Qin to visit the enthronement ceremony was not only to explore the current power structure within the Qin Dynasty, so that Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang could continue to fight for power and dismantle the foundation of Qin, but most of them also wanted to watch a good show. !
Just imagine, a future king was reduced to a puppet at a young age and was suppressed and beaten by two major forces during the enthronement ceremony. This is almost unprecedented!
Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, which one was not extremely powerful, and which generation of monarchs was not extremely ambitious?
This is especially true for the Qin State after Shang Yang’s reform!
King Hui of Qin, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Zhuangxiang of Qin.
Which one is not ambitious?
Even though King Qin Zhuangxiang seemed weak and incompetent, he died suddenly after reigning for only four years, but...
You must know that before he ascended the throne, he turned a bad card that was used as a hostage in Zhao State into the king of Qin!
Even with Lu Buwei's help, the roots of today's crisis in Yingzheng were laid.
However, it is absolutely terrifying!
But now, the next Prince of Qin, Gong Zizheng, who has accumulated the remaining power of the Qin Dynasty for countless generations, will be suppressed and beaten when he takes the throne.
How can this make them unhappy, how can it make them uninterested? !
As for Ying Zheng, maybe he can win.
This is simply not within their scope of consideration.
If Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang can't hold down Ying Zheng, who has not yet reached the crown and has no power at all, then there is no need for them to compete for Da Qin.
Just come to us from the six countries.
"I still think there will be a good show tomorrow." Above the attic, the Chu envoy looked into the distance playfully.
"Hahahaha, let me put my words here. How happy the people of Xianyang City are today, how uncomfortable they will be when they see the enthronement ceremony tomorrow!"
"Zi Zheng, the eldest son of the State of Qin, is so difficult. I have only been back for a few years and have suffered from this kind of thing. It's a pity, it's a pity." The envoy from Qi said with a smile.
"King Zhuang Xiang died too quickly, leaving no time for Young Master Zheng to grow up."
"I'm very curious now. What kind of methods will Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang, two old foxes, use to deal with Ying Zheng during tomorrow's enthronement ceremony?" The Wei envoy chuckled and drank a glass of wine.
"Hahaha, it must be unexpected, it must be interesting, very interesting!"
"I hope you can see a unique enthronement ceremony. I look forward to tomorrow!"
Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei.
Under the dark night, the envoys from the six countries laughed in anticipation, discussing many things with each other, and everything that might happen tomorrow.
And while they were looking forward and waiting here, Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang were indeed formulating many strategies.
After all, the King of Qin's accession to the throne is not a matter of carelessness. How to suppress Ying Zheng without losing the majesty of the Qin State and ensure that Ying Zheng will turn to him in the future and have no other intentions is indeed a difficult task. Things to control.
After all, besides Ying Zheng, there is also Mrs. Lu Buwei/Huayang.
When they take action to suppress Ying Zheng, if they are not careful, they will most likely be attacked by the opponent, causing them to lose everything.
This is not the result they want.
"Sister, this time, we must make careful calculations, and there must be no mistakes." In the gorgeous palace, Quan Yangjun spoke to Mrs. Huayang in a deep voice.
While Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang were carefully calculating everything.
In Xianyang City, there were also many generals who were outside the two major forces and noticed the dark clouds shrouded under the lights.
The lights were brightly lit in the huge mansion.
In the midst of a splendid building, sat a veteran.
He has a resolute face and a strong figure. He is sitting in the pavilion with his upper body naked.
Although the old man's temples have long been gray and he is over fifty years old, his muscles are still as bulging as a rock. Sitting cross-legged, he looks like a dragon and a tiger occupying the area. There is no trace of old age, but an indescribable domineering quality.
He was sitting in the pavilion, with two sea bowls the size of human heads in front of him. Five fingers as thick as carrots formed big palms like cattail leaf fans. He was constantly slapping open the mud seals of pots of strong liquor, pouring them in, and then raising his head to drink them down. .
"Gudong, Gudong, Gudong."
The strong alcohol entered the throat, and the muscles all over the veteran's body were burning. Even the hot summer wind was slightly cool, but the old man did not feel any sense or drunkenness at all. Instead, the worry in his eyes became more and more serious.
This is none other than General Meng Ao, the veteran of the Three Dynasties and the Great Qin General who is about to become the veteran of the Four Dynasties!
He is also the father of Meng Wu, the rising star of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian, the future fierce general of the Qin Dynasty, and the grandfather of Meng Yi.
"Father, why don't you rest yet?" A figure came to Meng Wu silently and asked softly.
He has a face that is 90% similar to Meng Ao's, with bulging muscles and long hair tied back casually.
"I can't sleep. Tomorrow's enthronement ceremony may not be that simple." Meng Ao sighed and wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth.
Meng Wu frowned slightly: "The enthronement ceremony? Someone dares to be presumptuous at the enthronement ceremony? Dad, the Prime Minister and the Queen Mother, no matter how bold they are, they don't dare to do this, right?"
"Bullshit Prime Minister and Queen Mother."
Meng Ao casually opened a jar that had been covered with dust for a long time and poured it into the sea bowl.
'Goo-dong-gud-dong.'
"Look more at the court, don't always focus on training and leading troops." Meng Ao picked up the sea bowl and drank it, and said in a low voice: "Did you just know the thoughts of Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang? The siege of the two kingdoms of Zhao and Chu When I was in Da Qin, didn't you see what the two forces did while leading the resistance?"
"Infiltrate the army. Suspend the enthronement ceremony for sixty days."
Speaking indifferently, Meng Ao's white hair was scattered randomly under the starry sky, and his huge body sat cross-legged here, like a golden lion.
"Although logically speaking, they have the right to suspend the enthronement ceremony, but in the past, which king has had the ceremony suspended before he ascended the throne? Or for two full months?"
Meng Ao slapped his hand on the table and spoke coldly.
"The seven kingdoms are gone!"
"They will definitely cause trouble and take action during this enthronement ceremony."
"These vermin."
Hearing this, Meng Wu clenched his fists, his long hair behind his back moving automatically.
"Dad, do we want to take action?"
"Take action?"
"What did you do?"
Meng Ao glanced at Meng Wu, dropped the bowl of sea in his hand, and continued to drink: "You mixed it in randomly, are you sure you are helping or holding back?"
"And when you stand here, you don't represent yourself, you represent me, you represent Tian and Yi, and you will even represent the entire Meng Family Army brothers in the future."
"Do you know how many brothers there are in the Meng family army? Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang may not be able to deal with us, but what about the brothers under their command?"
Meng Ao stretched out a carrot-like finger, poked Meng Wu's head hard, and spoke calmly.
“Think twice before you act.”
"We have soldiers. But soldiers are not useful for everything."
"Use your brain more."
Hearing this, Meng Wu tightened and loosened his fists, loosened and tightened again, and finally had no choice but to loosen his fists. He let out a long sigh, sat down opposite Meng Ao, and drank in a muffled voice.
"well"
"This damn world."
"It would be great if my cultivation level could be higher. I wouldn't have to worry about all this and just do whatever I want."
He glanced at it, raised the jar of wine, and drank heavily. In just a few seconds, he drank several jars of his treasured Mengwu. Meng Ao slapped him out on the spot.
He immediately whipped Meng Wu away like a sack, knocking down half of the wall with a clang.
"Now that you know it, go away and practice, and don't touch my wine."
Climbing up from the ruins in the huge rubble, Meng Wu shook off the dust on his body, looked at Meng Ao who put away the wine jar in the distance, and grinned helplessly.
"profound."
In fact, tonight, it’s not just Meng Ao’s side.
Another general of Great Qin, Wang Jian of the Wang family, was also unusually silent.
Facing the retainers sent by Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang, a handsome young man who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old came out and politely asked them to leave.
"Sorry, please go back and report to the Prime Minister, the Queen Mother. My father is currently in retreat for cultivation. He has been missing for several days and cannot see guests for the time being."
"But for tomorrow's enthronement ceremony, my father will definitely come back."
"Please come back, both of you."
The doorman had no choice but to leave.
The young man returned to the mansion.
But he did not go back to his father's study room directly. Instead, he went to the kitchen, slaughtered a few chickens himself, and cooked a pot of chicken soup.
If anyone were here, they would definitely be surprised, because there is not a single servant in the palace of Wang, one of the majestic Qin generals.
Apart from a small number of guards, there were only a few elderly housekeepers.
Even among the chefs, there was only one child.
"Uncles, come and have something to eat. Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony of Lord Gongzizheng. There are Xianyang garrison outside now. There is no need to be so nervous."
Faced with the young man's words, many guards were not polite and staggered forward.
It was only then that, through the moonlight, it was discovered that all of these guards were disabled, missing arms and legs, and some even lost their eyes.
But the young man did not show any contempt for this. Instead, he spooned a large bowl of chicken soup for everyone and sprinkled a lot of chopped green onions.
"fragrant!"
"Haha, I'm afraid we are the only ones in the world who can eat rice cooked by the Major General himself, right?" A guard said with a smile.
"Bai Bomo is going to make fun of me." The young man smiled helplessly, picked up a bowl of chicken soup, and walked towards the study.
"There's still some in the pot. Take it yourself. I'll send some to dad."
The guards waved their hands.
The young man turned and left.
Knocking on the study door with chicken soup in hand.
"Dad, the Prime Minister and the Empress Dowager's lobbyists are all gone."
"Yes." A vague voice came from inside the study, it was a tall shadow.
"It's getting late, Bi'er, you should go to bed early."
"Yes." Wang Ben put the food on the table and gently placed a few bamboo slips here: "This is the news that Uncle Bai just received. It comes from the envoys of the six countries, as well as the recent Prime Minister, Mrs. The Queen and the others."
The figure inside the study seemed to pause for a moment while flipping through the book, and then said: "Bier, please don't let your Uncle Bai do this again in the future. It's very dangerous, and clairvoyance is not omnipotent."
"Yes." Wang Ben replied respectfully, but did not turn around and leave.
"What do you want to say?" the figure in the room asked.
"Dad, are we just going to watch like this?" The young man didn't seem surprised. He asked softly, with a pair of young eyes filled with piercing coldness and murderous intent.
"What do you say?"
"Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang have violated our laws and regulations in the Qin Dynasty. They have committed multiple offenses. According to me, they should not be killed."
However, before he could finish speaking, the figure in the study interrupted him.
"Get out."
"ah?"
"Get out. Then copy the family rules three hundred times."
"."
The young man looked helpless, but in the end he could only speak quietly.
"yes."
The young man turned and left.
After the young man left, the figure who was sitting inside the study finally slowly walked out.
He was wearing a long robe and had a handsome face. He looked about forty years old and had a pair of narrow and handsome peach blossom eyes. But after looking carefully, he could only see the silence like a deep pool, which seemed to be endless. It completely tears away people's eyes.
Looking at the bamboo slips sent by Wang Ben, Wang Jian took a sip of chicken soup and gently rubbed his eyebrows. His deep eyes shone with deep worry.
"The trees want to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop."
"Master Gongzi Zheng"
There is an undercurrent.
As the enthronement ceremony is about to begin, the entire city of Xianyang is filled with chaos and complexity.
Countless people have their own agendas, and countless people are waiting for tomorrow's good show.
Only outside Xianyang City, a golden creature that was only half the height of a man jumped three feet high with joy when looking at the latest information!
"The benefactor's name is Gong Zizheng? And he is actually the king of this city?"
"And tomorrow is my benefactor's big day?"
Looking at a Da Qin farmer who was almost scared out of his wits, Mu Mu abandoned him in excitement and ran back and forth on the ground.
"Squeak!"
"This is a great day!"
"It seems to be more important than peach blossoms and fruits!"
"No, no, I have to prepare well!"
"But what can I give to my benefactor?"
Scratching his head excitedly, Mu Mu racked his brains and thought, sweating all over his head.
And after a moment, Mu Mu seemed to have thought of something, his eyes widened, and he patted his head,
"correct!"
"and this!"
"I almost forgot!"
After saying this, the mud monkey quickly ran towards the jungle.
After a while.
With the roar of jungle beasts, it seemed that the entire forest began to shake silently.
Suddenly on the shelves.
I hope everyone can give me some support, and the author will repay the favor by updating 30,000 words on the first day of publication.
