silence.
Unimaginable silence.
An old figure with white hair and a hairpin crown came to the altar and presented an exquisite bamboo slip in his hands.
The breeze blew through the old man's gray hair, the corners of his robe fluttered, and his back shadow covered a large area of the altar.
this moment.
The wind seemed to have stopped all around.
Under the bright sun, the bells and drums on the altar of Changming Palace rang together, and the chimes sounded.
But at this moment, the whole world seemed to fall into silence. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the old man who stepped forward!
What is this doing?
Lu Buwei, are you presenting your tribute?
And he also came to the altar of Changming Palace?
How dare he do this?
Seeing this scene, the expressions of many of the civil and military officials of Great Qin below changed slightly.
Especially someone who doesn’t know any of this beforehand.
You know, where is the Changming Palace Altar?
That is one of the most important sacrificial places in the Qin Imperial City!
From ancient times to the present, only the kings of the Qin Dynasty can stand on the top!
Even many princes, nobles, and even princes and princes are not qualified!
In the past, the Changming Palace altar was only used when he ascended the throne or when the king offered sacrifices to heaven and earth!
At other times, everything is strictly blocked!
And even in the ceremonies of enthroning the throne and offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, the eunuchs responsible for delivering the tributes were very careful, bowing their heads and handing out the tributes respectfully from the edge of the altar.
I am determined not to let a single step fall on the altar!
Not even a shadow dared to cover it, for fear of attracting the king's wrath!
But now, what is going on?
Lu Buwei actually stood on the altar of Changming Palace so blatantly? !
What does it mean? !
Are you also the King of Qin? !
Or do I need your approval to ascend the throne as King of Qin? !
Looking at all this, looking at the old man standing on the ancient altar, many people among the people watching the ceremony below became unnatural.
Especially Meng Ao, Meng Wu and many other generals who did not belong to Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang clenched their fists in an instant!
When they first saw Gong Zizheng, the future King of Qin, they were quite happy.
After all, his actions and state when facing the civil and military officials showed that the young man in front of him already had a vague kingly attitude. Although he didn't know what the future would bring, it was still gratifying.
But within a few seconds of being happy, Lu Buwei encountered this disgusting scene!
'Kaka.'
Although their expressions remained as usual, the anger in their eyes could not be concealed at all!
Like volcanoes erupting, surging!
"Asshole!"
Meng Ao's expression remained unchanged, but the fists under his sleeves were already clenching, and the veins on his forehead were stretched!
"This Lu Buwei, what does he want to do?"
As a veteran of the Three Dynasties of the Qin Dynasty and soon to be the Fourth Dynasty, the concept of being the master of heaven and earth has already penetrated into Meng Ao's heart!
Although he had anticipated that today's enthronement ceremony might not be that simple.
But Meng Ao never expected that Lu Buwei would be so arrogant and bold!
He actually dared to act recklessly on the altar of Changming Palace!
He turned his head imperceptibly and found that the civil and military officials behind Lu Buwei all had normal expressions and calm expressions. They had obviously expected everything today!
"Damn it."
Not only Meng Ao, Meng Wu and others, but also Wang Jian narrowed his eyes at this time!
He has a head full of black hair and a pair of slender red eyes, full of awe-inspiring chill!
Lu Buwei.
You are a little too domineering.
Even, it is not just veterans such as Meng Ao Wang Jian.
Even Quanyang Jun who was standing not far away secretly narrowed his eyes when he saw this scene, his narrow and old eyes filled with chill.
This Lu Buwei is really becoming more and more courageous!
no doubt!
All of this is definitely Lu Buwei’s handiwork!
The tribute never arrived?
What excuse is this?
Guanglu Temple, as the institution in charge of sacrificial rituals in the Qin Dynasty, had prepared everything for the enthronement ceremony more than a month ago. How could it make such a careless mistake?
There even happens to be a sacrificial tribute in the cuff?
Does Qi Lu Buwei treat everyone as a fool?
Where did such a coincidence come from?
This is obviously Lu Buwei's way of beating and warning Ying Zheng!
Quan Yangjun's eyes were sinister, his luxurious robes were undulating slightly, and his hands in his sleeves were clenching and unclenching.
With his long gray hair floating around, he felt a chill in his heart as he looked at the old man standing on the altar of Changming Palace, opposing Ying Zheng!
In fact, he and Mrs. Huayang had originally discussed suppressing and beating Ying Zheng on the altar of Changming Palace, but in the end they gave up.
Because it's too risky.
As the exclusive place for the king of Qin Dynasty, the Changming Palace Altar is almost a symbol.
To criticize Gongzizheng here is too arrogant and domineering, and it will easily arouse the resentment of a group of old Qin people who have not yet joined a faction!
They originally planned to wait until Ying Zheng reached the end, arrived at Xuanwumen, and announced his accession on the Temple of Heaven, and then took action to replace Ying Zheng in announcing his accession.
Because Mrs. Huayang is Ying Zheng’s grandmother after all, it is both reasonable and reasonable to read Ying Zheng’s accession words on this occasion, and it can also be a good beating!
but.
Quanyang Jun looked up at the old figure, his eyes filled with coldness.
They never expected that Lu Buwei would just walk up like that!
He didn't follow the rules at all and treated the entire Da Qin rules as if they were nothing!
what do you mean?
Do you want to declare that the entire Great Qin is under your control?
"call"
Slowly exhaling, Quanyang Jun felt a little angry in his heart.
But I have to admit that although Lu Buwei's move is dangerous, it is also quite effective!
It is conceivable that after today's enthronement ceremony, Lu Buwei's move will definitely be spread quickly. By then, countless people in the Qin Dynasty will definitely curse and resent Lu Buwei.
Yes!
There will also be many people who admire Lu Buwei's courage and skill and defect to him!
After all, there is no shortage of careerists in this world at any time!
While beating Zheng'er, he also expanded his own power and prestige.
Lu Buwei, Lu Buwei, this plan of killing two birds with one stone is really a good one!
Feeling the cold gaze cast by Mr. Quanyang behind him, the white-haired old man looked calm.
Mr. Quanyang guessed correctly.
All this is indeed Lu Buwei's arm.
Half of the officials in Guanglu Temple already belong to his influence.
There are too many ways to prevent a eunuch from offering a sacrificial tribute.
As a latecomer, Lu Buwei clearly knows his own strengths and advantages. If he wants to defeat the Mi family's forces that have been entrenched in the Qin Dynasty for more than a hundred years, he must not follow their rhythm, and he must play moves not according to the steps.
The old man with unwavering eyes and white hair held the bamboo slip, lowered his head and spoke calmly to Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty."
"Why haven't you read out the sacrificial homage yet?"
'Crash! ! '
A gentle breeze blew.
Thousands of Daqin's black and gold bird flags buzzed in the distant sky.
The tall and thin old man spoke calmly, and his old voice was like an ancient bell, causing the entire sacrificial ceremony to become silent again.
At this moment, it seemed as if even the ringing bells, cauldrons, and music playing in the ears had disappeared, replaced by Lu Buwei's gentle but unarguable words.
"If this continues."
"The time is about to be missed."
Mr. Quanyang has a sinister look in his eyes.
Meng Ao clenched his fists.
Only those ministers with Lu Bu as the powerful force behind them had their expressions unchanged, their eyebrows lowered and their eyes lowered. They had already expected all this to happen.
When the envoys from the Six Nations in the far corner and far away saw this scene, their expressions suddenly became a little exciting.
Although he expected a big drama to start, he never imagined that it would be so explosive. Lu Buwei actually went directly to the altar of Changming Palace where only the previous Qin kings had set foot. He even confronted Ying Zheng and handed over a speech of respect!
Looking at the two people who were silent on the high platform, many envoys from the Six Nations looked calm, but they were already sneering in their hearts!
"Interesting! Interesting!"
"Lu Buwei came to the altar of King Qin's enthronement. Hey, hey, it's a pity that those Confucian nerds are not here, otherwise I really want to see what their expressions are like!"
"After coming so directly, this little King Qin is probably confused, right?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Maybe it's possible!"
"Who can withstand such a thing? Even if I just looked at Lu Buwei's blow, I felt it was a bit too much!"
"This is a knock on the bone!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Many envoys from the Six Nations had bright eyes, looking at this scene, their hearts almost bursting with joy!
Sure enough, there is something good to watch!
Fight, make trouble, the bigger the better.
The faces of the envoys from the six countries remained as usual, but the cold light in their eyes became even brighter!
Come! Let me see how the future King Xiao Qin and today's Gong Zizheng will deal with all this!
Should he accept the sacrificial speech, recite it and then ascend the throne, or should he not accept it and just carry on like this.
In the end, are you watching all this with humiliation and having to complete the enthronement ceremony, or are you losing all your sanity out of anger?
There is an undercurrent.
The bells and cauldrons shook, and golden light fell.
On top of the huge altar, Ying Zheng turned to look at the white-haired old man.
Under the breeze, Lu Buwei raised his head and spoke respectfully.
"Kings?"
Looking at the white-haired old man who controlled half of Da Qin's power, Ying Zheng showed no expression and slowly took a step forward.
Heaven and earth are silent.
Ying Zheng continued to move forward.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the young man.
The ministers smiled.
The envoys from the six countries looked at him with amused eyes.
Wang Jian Meng Ao clenched his fists.
Mr. Quanyang has dark eyes.
Even in the depths of Lu Buwei's eyes, there was an undetectable smile.
However, just when everyone thought that Ying Zheng's hand was about to grab Lu Buwei's bamboo slip and read it out.
Ying Zheng directly passed Lu Buwei.
"Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister."
Ying Zheng's eyes were like a deep pool of water, with no fluctuations visible. He looked into the distance and spoke calmly.
He had no anger, no humiliation, no complicated emotions, and he was not at all overwhelmed.
The only thing left is the eternal tranquility.
"Back off."
"It's just a sacrifice to heaven and earth."
"Why do you need a sacrificial speech?"
? ? ?
Hearing this, Lu Buwei was stunned for a moment.
Many envoys and ministers around were also stunned.
In the sacrificial ceremony, no words of honor are needed?
What's this?
Lu Buwei frowned slightly and was about to continue speaking, but an unimaginable imperial majesty suddenly emanated from Ying Zheng!
Lu Buwei's pupils dilated slightly and he looked up at Ying Zheng in surprise.
Um?
This is
However, before he could say anything, Ying Zheng above spoke.
"I heard that in recent days, there are demon monks on the edge of Great Qin who are causing trouble and hurting the people of Great Qin."
"Prime Minister, is this true?"
When asking this question, Ying Zheng was very calm, without much fluctuation in his tone, like an ancient emperor asking condescending questions to his ministers.
Feeling all this, Lu Buwei frowned while holding the bamboo slips.
He did know that the evil cultivators from the Zhao and Chu kingdoms were wreaking havoc near Xianyang, or did he specifically send someone to tell them not to kill these people.
But what does this matter have to do with the present?
Isn't that specifically used to suppress him?
Moreover, the tone in which Ying Zheng spoke to him made Lu Buwei quite uncomfortable.
However, in the end, Lu Buwei frowned and slowly answered: "It is true."
"These thieves are not many in number, but they are extremely difficult to deal with. They are the most troublesome."
It wasn't just Lu Buwei who frowned.
Many Qin officials and envoys from the six countries below were also a little confused.
Why are you talking about this kind of thing at this enthronement ceremony?
Doesn't this specifically undermine your own dignity?
He continued to walk forward, completely ignoring Lu Buwei's presence, and came to the center of the altar.
The sun is shining brightly.
Flag hunting.
this moment.
A vast ocean of huge energy surged like a volcano, boiling inside Ying Zheng's body, and became increasingly fierce!
Feeling the surging spiritual energy in his body and looking at the ancient imperial city, Ying Zheng spoke slowly.
"Since the Jiuzhou Dingding was established, there has been a ritual of offering heads to heaven and earth."
"During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, when kings came to the throne, they sacrificed the heads of their enemies to the heaven and earth many times to inform the world. In the era of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty, he even used the heads of tens of thousands of Shang Zhou's enemies as the basis to ascend the throne and pacify the world."
Speaking calmly, Ying Zheng glanced at the envoys of the six countries with calm eyes.
Seeing this scene, the envoys from the Six Nations, who were about to watch the show, frowned slightly.
Based on the enemy's head?
What does this little King of Qin mean?
But just as their expressions began to look less good, Ying Zheng looked away and continued to join his hands to worship the heaven and the earth.
"Now that I will be the King of Qin, I should imitate the previous kings."
"In that case."
"Then this is a tribute to the land in all directions."
"Just use this head as a sacrifice."
Speaking calmly, Ying Zheng waved his sleeves and slowly performed a sword technique.
Speak loudly.
"Where is the Ding Qin sword?"
Almost at the moment Ying Zheng finished speaking.
Near Xianyang Imperial City, tens of millions of soldiers with swords on their waists suddenly began to tremble violently without any warning!
'Zhengzheng~'
An invisible gravity comes from the sky!
It seems as if there is something that wants to unsheath all the long swords in the sky.
Even the attendants of the envoys of the Six Nations had their swords trembling violently.
"What's wrong?"
"what happened?"
Everyone was surprised and looked surprised.
But only those monks from hundreds of schools of thought and cultivators from various sects who were waiting for the final step of the ceremony, all grabbed the swords at their waists, then suddenly raised their heads, and their pupils shrank.
The next moment.
A little golden light was reflected in their pupils.
This golden light is small, but very bright.
It first appeared directly above Xianyang, and then in just a blink of an eye, it drew a straight golden line in the sky from top to bottom.
It seemed as if the entire heaven and earth above Xianyang were divided into two.
There was a sword cry like a dragon's roar.
It exploded from the sky.
"Zheng!!"
this moment.
All the soldiers at the enthronement ceremony raised their heads, and countless cultivators responsible for ensuring the safety of the enthronement ceremony all raised their heads, their pupils constricted.
But there was nothing they could do to stop it.
Golden silk thread.
Cutting through the sky.
Go straight to the altar of Changming Palace.
"Zhengzhengzhengzheng!!!"
The fierce sword intent falls!
Brilliant golden light illuminates the entire world!
Lu Buwei's head was full of white hair. He raised his head and everything he looked at was filled with golden light.
"Qiang!!!"
The long sword came through the air!
Fall into the altar!
Carry a splash of bright red!
The floating red sword energy directly chopped down the scroll held by Lu Buwei's hands and smashed it into pieces!
Lu Buwei's expression changed slightly and he staggered back behind the altar.
Under the strong wind, blood filled the sky. Ying Zheng stepped forward, wearing a thick imperial robe, and stood in front of the bloody sword!
He is obviously a teenager, but he already has the body of an adult. He has thick black hair and wise eyes, which seem to be able to penetrate everything. Every move he makes, the majesty of the king is overflowing, like a river and a lake surging and boiling!
At this moment, Ying Zheng's grace was unparalleled in the world. He raised his head and spoke loudly!
"In the first year of the Qin Dynasty, I set up an incense table under the altar of Changming Palace, set up a mountain spring above, offered wine and incense, and worshiped the ancient earth gods from all directions, the four directions of the land!"
"I pray that the earth will have its way, the sun and the moon will be in order, rain will fall from the sky, and grains will grow on the earth!"
"Second, I pray that the mountains and rivers will be affectionate, that they will breed all kinds of species, that the weather will be smooth, and that the harvest will be plentiful!"
"Three prayers for heaven's mighty virtues, fertile fields, peace of mind for the gods, and eternal blessings!"
“Four prayers are that the earth will bless all peoples in peace, and the country will be forever solid!”
"Fortunately!"
"Fortunately!"
