"On the night of His Majesty's enthronement, there was light from the ground shining from the water, and people saw white snakes swimming by the river. This is an auspicious sign!"
"Good luck! Good luck!" m.
When Qin Shihuang's conferment ceremony was completed, Lu Sheng, Han Zhong and other alchemists rushed to report and presented a big auspicious sign to the emperor.
After hearing what Lu Sheng and others said, the First Emperor was slightly shocked, then a bright smile appeared on his face.
Among the ministers, Wang Wu took the lead and flattered him on the spot: "Ying County is the land of Shaohao and the fiefdom of Boyi. The presence of white snakes here is the Bai Emperor's approval of His Majesty's enthronement!"
Hu Hai also said wisely: "Father, after our surname is Bai Emperor, now there is a white snake appearing in Yingshui. It must be Bai Emperor who came to see our father in person. This is something that has never happened to our ancestors in the past dynasties of Qin. , which shows that our ancestors attached great importance to our father’s achievements.”
All the ministers and ministers, whether they believed it or not, also responded and praised him one after another.
Zhao Tuo looked on with cold eyes. Feng Chan, Ying Shui, White Snake.
The skills of these alchemists in flattering Qin Shihuang are truly unparalleled in the world. Even if people have doubts in their hearts, they dare not refute easily.
Among other things, it is precisely because the Yingshui flowing between Mount Tai and Liangfu Mountain, and Ying County on the north side of the Yingshui, are the ancestral places of all people with the Ying surname.
This is the legendary land of Shaohao, the White Emperor, and the fiefdom of Boyi, the ancestor of the Ying surname.
The father of the Qin people is Shaohao, the White Emperor, and this is their birthplace.
When Qin Shihuang conferred Zen status, a white snake symbolizing the White Emperor Shaohao suddenly appeared in the ancestral land of the surname Ying, which naturally made people imagine.
Who dares to say that this is not an auspicious omen? Who dares to question!
Zhao Tuo now gradually saw through the intentions of those alchemists.
Feng Chan is a grand ceremony of Confucianism, and the alchemists are not very interested. The reason why they help those Confucian scholars to persuade the emperor is to use the big bait of Feng Chan to lure the First Emperor to the East.
Most of the scholars in the world come from the lands of Yan and Qi, especially the Qilu area is their base camp. They have many believers and have considerable influence. Once the emperor gets here, they can naturally be auspicious and flatter him to gain trust.
Now that the Zen ceremony has been completed, the alchemists will also take over the baton from the Confucian scholars and begin their performances. These auspicious things are foreplay.
After the First Emperor finished conferring Zen, he encountered the auspicious sign of a white snake appearing in the ancestral land of the surname Ying. As expected, it was Long Yan's great joy.
He led the Fengchan team directly north along the Yingshui River and performed sacrifices to the White Emperor Shaohao in Yingxian County.
The people of Ying County, who had been well prepared, shouted in unison and kowtowed to the First Emperor. This scene made the First Emperor feel very satisfied, and he gave him another reward.
He had already exempted Jibei County from the corvee and rent taxes for one year. Naturally, it was not easy to make further reductions and exemptions, so he gave cattle wine and cloth as rewards, which made people jump for joy, which all showed the emperor's virtue.
Zhao Tuo saw it in his eyes and knew that the situation was not good.
Sure enough, after the emperor finished offering sacrifices to the White Emperor Shaohao in Ying County, the convoy began its journey to Linzi County in the east.
One auspicious sign after another appeared.
In Qiancheng County of Linzi County, it is said that there are black pheasants that have never been seen flying in the mountains and forests. Some people say that it is the influence of Daqin Shuide, which turns the pheasants black and becomes auspicious. The magistrate of Qiancheng County even sent one to the emperor. He picked up a black feather and said it was left by a black pheasant in the forest.
In Changguo County, there was an ancient well that shone brightly on the night when the emperor was enshrined. The county magistrate sent people to salvage it, and found that it was a sword lost by King Qi. Some people said that the sword sensed the holy king's enshrinement, glowed and chose its owner.
In Di County, a turtle the size of a carriage landed on the Jishui River and crawled six miles around the Jishui River before disappearing into the water and disappearing. There are lines on the back of the turtle, which look like ancient characters. Someone with good intentions copied them. After being identified by a nearby old scholar, they were surprised to find that the lines were the four characters "King De Sheng of Qin".
When the First Emperor received the cloth from the magistrate of Di County, he looked at the big seal with the four characters "King De Sheng of Qin" on it, smiled, and ordered that Di County be exempted from the corvee for one year.
As for other cities where auspicious signs appear, there are also many rewards.
"This is God's response to His Majesty's enthronement! It is God's recognition of Your Majesty!"
"Good luck, your majesty is indeed a holy king recognized by heaven!"
Lu Sheng and Han Zhong took the opportunity to offer these remarks, linking the appearance of these auspicious signs with the First Emperor's conferment of Zen, forming a perfect logical closed loop.
The First Emperor used the ceremony of conferring Zen status to report to heaven his achievements as the emperor on earth.
After receiving the report from the First Emperor, God sent down auspicious signs to express his gratitude.
This is God's recognition and praise of the emperor's achievements!
Makes sense. Who objects?
Zhao Tuo scoffed at the auspicious omens that appeared in these films.
Because he saw the meaningful smiles of Lu Sheng, Han Zhong and others whenever they heard auspiciousness, and he understood everything.
Zhao Tuo didn't know that the emperor didn't know the true identity of these auspicious signs.
Maybe this eternal emperor was really intoxicated with his own achievements and thought that these auspicious signs were God's praise and praise after he became a Zen monk, so he happily accepted it.
But it is also possible that the First Emperor knew the truth of everything, and did not expose it, and even happily accompanied these people in the show, because the emperor wanted to further use these auspicious signs to deify his identity.
The holy king's gift of conferment, the auspicious response from heaven.
Together, these are enough to elevate the emperor's status to an unparalleled level, making him a king with a sacred aura and the most supreme person in the world.
Probably Li Si and others also saw this, and with their wisdom, even if they saw through the true nature of these auspicious signs, they did not dare to expose them.
However, Zhao Tuo keenly discovered the huge crisis hidden in it.
Once the auspicious head is opened, there will be endless troubles in the future. What works is effective.
The emperor loves auspiciousness, and officials in various counties and counties can get rewards from the emperor as long as they offer auspiciousness.
The former simple and pragmatic Qin officials will be tempted and turn into flattering flatterers.
In other words, it is already starting to change.
What will such an empire become in the end?
Zhao Tuo's worry reached its peak when he followed the emperor to Linzi City.
The governor of Linzi County actually came to report to the emperor that a unicorn appeared in Linzi!
It is said that on the outskirts of Linzi City, a cow gave birth to a small beast with one horn and long scales. It was able to gallop in half a day and was so powerful that it broke through the fence and crawled into the mountains. People exclaimed that it was a unicorn.
"Lin is a benevolent beast. If there is a king, it will come, but if there is no king, it will not come."
Lu Sheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty now conferred the title of Taishan Zen Liangfu, and he is the Holy King of the current world. Therefore, the unicorn is destined to come to the world. This is in response to your Majesty's holy virtue!"
In this former palace of King Qi, after hearing Lu Sheng's words, all the important ministers did not hesitate to congratulate the emperor.
"The Holy King of Destiny, Qilin, has come to this world. This is truly the blessing of our great Qin!"
"Your Majesty will live for ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty will live for ten thousand years!"
Amidst the bursts of congratulations, the first emperor, who was sitting in the main seat, smiled more and more at the corner of his mouth.
The unicorns are out.
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Holy Virtue has sent the Qilin down to the sky to offer auspicious gifts. However, I heard that the Qilin is an ancient benevolent beast with a very strange appearance, so I wanted to take a look. I wonder if the Linzi County Sheriff can let us see the Qilin's true face. It’s also a good way to increase your knowledge.”
In the palace, a young man with a handsome face, dressed in Xuan Duan plain clothes, spoke loudly.
His eyes were fixed on the Linzi County Sheriff who claimed that a Qilin had come to the world.
And the smile on the face of the alchemist Lu Sheng suddenly froze.
Some people died, but not completely...
