In the dark museum library, Weasel flipped through ancient books excitedly, trying to find more relevant information.
However, it is a bit disappointing that apart from this one, there is no other book with similar content.
But this is enough.
With excitement, Weasel carefully put every book back in its place, and then curled up in the corner and slept beautifully.
Early the next morning, it left the museum
In the Ming Dynasty, if the west wind blows, I will fight for the beauty and cannot bear the autumn.
Thousands of years later, the scorching summer has passed, and the weasel heads alone to the top of the distant Huashan Mountain, looking for ancient ruins with expectation and pilgrimage.
And thousands of years ago, the autumn wind was already blowing faintly in the magnificent Xianyang City.
At this time, more than a month had passed since Ying Zheng released the news and invited the world's sages to attend the upcoming grand ceremony in Taihua.
The traces of summer have completely disappeared from this land.
The cold current from the north gradually covered this world.
The autumn harvest season has passed.
For more than a month, it was the busiest time for the people of the seven countries in the world.
In this busy autumn harvest season, the busiest country is naturally Qin.
Because facing the extremely steep Taihua Mountain, Ying Zheng had no intention of restraining himself.
Not only did he not stop his extravagant and wasteful behavior because of many rumors, but he also increased his investment in going to Taihua, determined to build the best grand ceremony in the world!
Almost in the first few days of the autumn harvest, a decree was issued in the imperial city!
[Last night alone, God Taihua saw the towering mountains standing like swords. He should cast them into high pavilions! 】
[This banquet is a grand ceremony of the Qin Dynasty, which can ensure the prosperity of the world, and the people and ministers all have their responsibilities! 】
[Therefore, today we start building a place for Taihua’s feast to honor the arrival of the prosperous age! 】
Zhongmingding Town.
Accompanied by the mighty bell tolling, this decree resounded throughout Xianyang!
After the decree was issued, Ying Zheng completely opened the treasury, and all kinds of gold, silver, and precious materials were scattered out like running water.
Just to go to Taihua to build the grand ceremony, tens of thousands of workers left in just one month!
"Hey, have you heard? It seems that King Qin is planning to send a group of workers to Taihua recently! This time there seems to be more, more than 30,000 workers. It seems that he wants to make Taihua the best festival in the world! "
"Going again? I remember that I just sent a group not long ago, right? Didn't you care about the autumn harvest? It's such a big celebration and a lot of money is spent. I really don't understand. Is the King of Qin crazy or something? Why do you do this? Why is it like this? Grand?" Someone frowned.
"Who knows, you are still young after all. You have just made some achievements, and your tail is almost in the sky."
"I really don't know what he is going to do. Why don't Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang care about these things?"
"Them? How could they care? They now wish that the name of Ying Zheng's mediocrity would spread throughout the Qin Dynasty. Only in this way will it help them seize power!"
"Haha, no matter what you say, it won't cause trouble for us. Let this little King Qin continue to do it. Hahaha, I want to see how many people are there then!"
"It's worth going there to try it. After all, it's the most grand ceremony in the world. With such a grand gathering, I really want to see what the little King Qin's expression looks like when there are only a few dozen people on the top of Huashan Mountain!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Faced with Ying Zheng's extravagant and wasteful behavior, many beings from the six countries were waiting to watch everything with smiles. At the same time, they were also a little suspicious. What kind of grand ceremony is this, and it is so grand?
A month ago, when they first heard about Ying Zheng's extravagant construction ceremony, they were a little worried and confused, thinking that Ying Zheng might not be holding back something good and was secretly preparing some trick.
After all, this little King of Qin is not very old, but he has an extremely deep palace. This kind of rare forbearance is not even noticed by the two old foxes who get along day and night.
But after the spies they sent came back and reported that they found no problems, these beings from the six countries began to become suspicious.
Did Ying Zheng really do nothing?
Everyone was thinking here, but not long after, they saw Ying Zheng spending a lot of real money one after another. After a full month, he showed no intention to restrain himself.
Seeing this, they felt relieved.
You know how dangerous Taihua is?
The mountains are steep and the terrain is steep. The mountains spread out between the mountains and form fronts. They look like long swords horizontally and vertically. From a distance, they look like a towering forest of swords.
It is absolutely difficult to build such a grand and grand ceremony venue here, and money is needed to pave the way.
In particular, the top of Taihua Mountain is so high into the clouds that it is extremely dangerous. Laborers cannot build it at all. Even to transport a lot of wood and stones, they can only send Qi practitioners to climb the mountain, drill long nails into the mountain, and then whiten it. Hang it up with a rope and transport it up one piece at a time.
In addition, Ying Zheng issued a death order that no blood should be seen during the construction of the grand ceremony buildings. He felt that this was an ominous sign, which made the already slow progress even slower, and the treasury expenditure became even larger.
In just one month, the money spent by Yingzheng reached an astronomical figure. It is said that the national treasury was quite empty. Zhisu Neishi, one of the nine ministers responsible for the finance of Qin State, was eliminated within a month. A total of three were replaced.
Although the people didn't say anything, it was obvious that they were dissatisfied.
After knowing all this, the Six Kingdoms were no longer in a hurry, and just smiled and watched what Ying Zheng wanted to do.
I originally thought that Ying Zheng could break through the spiritual sea realm at such a young age, and perhaps he would be a fierce and unparalleled figure like King Qin Zhaoxiang and King Qin Zhuangxiang.
In the end, I didn't expect that there would be such a great achievement.
As for saying that Ying Zheng is just pretending, that's not the case.
After all, such a huge project, even if it is just a fake, is definitely a strain on the Qin State!
If the real money is used in vain, such a waste of people and money is destined to cause the national power of Great Qin to decline crazily!
Faced with all this, all the scholars looked on with cold eyes. The Six Nations were happy with their success. This was a rare good thing for them. Let the little Qin King continue to waste his family.
But there are also many people who wonder, even if they want to build a grand ceremony venue, the scale is a bit too grand, right?
What exactly is going on in this grand ceremony?
You actually want to invite all the talented people in the world?
As for Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang, neither of them interfered. They were all taking advantage of this period to crazily gather power in Great Qin.
During this process, there were still a few loyal people in the Qin Dynasty who did not give up. They came forward crying and wailing, trying to persuade Ying Zheng to give up building the Taihua Ceremony and came forward to persuade him.
But in the face of their advice, Ying Zheng had no intention of paying attention at all, just like a bastard who had become determined after eating a weight, leaving no room for negotiation.
Faced with all this, dark clouds shrouded the Meng and Wang families, and a heavy gray layer filled the heads of the few remaining loyal ministers of Qin.
"My lord, you are confused!"
Outside Xuanwu Gate, an old man screamed, laughed miserably like a cuckoo crying blood, and fell on the road, washing his face with tears.
But it still didn't work, Ying Zheng still went his own way.
Now, almost everyone in the Six Kingdoms is waiting for Ying Zheng to make a fool of himself, waiting for his funny scene.
Only a very small number of people feel that Ying Zheng will not target without reason. Perhaps this is just one of his strategies to delay Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang.
But no matter how much they thought about the review, they couldn't find any clues related to it.
But faced with sarcasm, questioning and ridicule from all sides, Ying Zheng remained calm in the ancient Qin Palace.
The ancient silent hall is filled with the faint fragrance of ink.
Candlelight lingers.
A cool breeze blows from the window, and the October Xianyang has brought the coolness of autumn.
A small pot of Polygonatum odorifera bloomed in the corner of the hall, bringing a ray of life to this silent room.
Sitting behind the table, Ying Zheng wore a black robe and a long cloak, and slowly read the Human Emperor's Scripture in his hand with a calm expression.
Ying Zheng still remembered that when he first came to this hall, it was purely because he wanted to understand the world, so he came to the Book Hall to read many books, and often read them until late at night, and was too lazy to go back.
Every time he went back and forth, he regarded this as the most familiar hall. Whether before or after he ascended the throne, he completed too many things in the Hall of Books.
Thinking silently, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and then he stood respectfully outside the door and spoke.
"Your Majesty, Hongwu wants to see you."
"Xuan."
Not long after, Hongwu came to the hall with a respectful expression.
Without being polite to him, Ying Zheng raised his head and asked.
"Have all the invitations been sent?"
"The report to the king has been sent. And not only in Qin, but also in the entire Six Kingdoms, many people know about it."
"But because the distance is too far, except for a few dignitaries and Qi refiners, ordinary people will not take it seriously at all and will just laugh it off."
"Even in Great Qin, it didn't cause too many waves."
Hong Wu replied respectfully. In fact, even now he doesn't know why Ying Zheng deliberately ordered this matter to be spread as much as possible.
It is always better to do this kind of thing in secret. After all, Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang do have the upper hand now.
But with his current cultivation level, he can do all this silently, and even if he invites six countries and hundreds of schools of thought, will it really be useful? Most of them won't come, right?
However, as one of Ying Zheng's confidants, Hong Wu clearly understood what should and should not be said. Even if he had huge doubts in his heart, there was no need to say anything, as long as he honestly followed the king's orders.
"enough."
Ying Zheng nodded.
The Seven Kingdoms are very big. With his current power, it is impossible for the entire Seven Kingdoms to pay attention to this matter. With Hongwu's ability, it is already very good that the news can be spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms within a month.
The reactions from the various schools of thought, the Six Kingdoms, and the officials of the Qin State were all within Ying Zheng's expectations.
But the only thing that was somewhat unexpected was that there was less abuse from the people of Qin than expected.
If you think about it carefully, it is normal. No matter which dynasty, extravagance and waste are always something that cannot be avoided.
Especially for many kings, it is not uncommon for them to behead their heads when they are happy or angry, not to mention that when building the Taihua Mountain Ceremony Building, he also specifically ordered the distribution of salaries.
On the contrary, there seems to be a lot more abuse from Zhizunaishi.
Shaking his head to stop thinking about it, Ying Zheng asked.
"How is the progress of your training with Mud Monkey?"
"Are those five cultivation methods easy to use?"
When he mentioned this, Hong Wu's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked a little excited.
Ever since Ying Zheng handed over these five cultivation books to him a month ago, Hong Wu couldn't wait to pick one and try it out.
However, you won’t know until you try it, and Hong Wu was immediately dumbfounded by this try!
Because of the existence of the Dead Wood Sword Technique, Hongwu had a good foundation in cultivation, and because the Dead Wood Sword Technique was not a pure cultivation method, Hongwu's practice of this cultivation method was almost completely seamless!
The vast spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged in, causing his cultivation to advance by crazy leaps and bounds!
In just one night, Hong Wu's cultivation almost skyrocketed by about one-tenth!
This immediately made Hong Wu blush!
Although he noticed that these five cultivation methods were not simple when he saw them, he never expected that the effects would be so terrifying!
Such a precious cultivation method should not be enshrined like a family heirloom. Even hundreds of schools of thought and many royal families of the six countries may not have such a powerful cultivation method!
But the king actually gave it away so easily, or five books at a time! !
Thinking of this, Hong Wu burst into tears with excitement. After banging his head on the ground three times, he immediately told the other three people, Zhao Tuo and others, about the incident!
After hearing about the cultivation method, they quickly took the time to run back after handling the matters at hand.
And after they practiced the cultivation method given by Ying Zheng, their cultivation level also made unimaginable rapid progress!
The violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into their bodies from all directions, burrowing into their limbs as if they were desperate!
You must know that when the Dead Wood Sword Art was used in the past, this kind of treatment was far away. The sword art rotated in the body, and every time it absorbed the spiritual energy of the surrounding world, it was extremely difficult, as if it was frozen in ice. It’s extremely difficult to do at all.
But now, it's completely the other way around!
All the spiritual energy from heaven and earth was burrowing into his body as if it was life-threatening. Even if he was not practicing, spiritual energy was flowing in all the time!
And the level bottleneck that stood in front of them in the past suddenly disappeared like a mirror, like a mirror in the water!
In just one month, Hongwu, Zhao Tuo and the other four people almost all entered the eighth and ninth heavens of Zi Mansion!
And when they taught these cultivation methods to many Black Ice Platform guards, they reached the realm of first-class masters in just one month!
This is definitely a scary thing!
You know, although these Black Ice Platform guards are loyal and are good candidates they selected from countless people in Da Qin, they are still young after all, and they are novices who have not yet practiced!
And now, in just one month, he has reached the level of a first-class master.
This speed of improvement made even them feel terrified!
Where did the king get the cultivation method? This effect is too terrifying!
What frightened them the most was not the guards of the Black Ice Platform, but the eldest disciples accepted by the king.
After leaving with Nihou, Hongwu carefully translated "Chang Ning Jue" for Nihou to listen to.
Mud Monkey is also smart. He just recited it a few times and recited it tightly.
After that, he happily ran to a side hall and observed the practice seriously.
In the following days, Hongwu and others were busy with their affairs and obsessed with cultivation, so they forgot to take care of the Mud Monkey. As a result, after returning for a month, they found that the Mud Monkey had arrived at the Foundation Establishment Realm without knowing when!
One month to build the foundation realm!
This cultivation speed is really terrifying and excessive!
Even when the king was practicing, he was only much faster, right?
Are the spirits in the wild so talented?
