Time keeps passing.
In the mortal world, five overlords gradually emerged during the Spring and Autumn Period.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the emperor declined and the princes prospered: the power of the Zhou royal family declined, their authority was no longer available, and they were no longer able to effectively control the princes of the world.
In order to compete for the world, some powerful vassal states started fierce wars for hegemony. They joined forces with each other and conquered east and west. Several vassals became hegemons one after another.
The so-called Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period were actually the leaders of the princes, the most powerful among all countries except the Emperor of Zhou.
Among the five hegemons, the only ones who belong to Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin are worthy of their title.
Instead of Emperor Zhou, he traveled the emperor's royal road.
The achievements of these two men are far beyond those of other princes, and they are overlords in the true sense.
Whether in terms of origin or strength, he is well-deserved.
Of course, the most important thing is to have absolute strength.
Although the Emperor of Zhou declined, these two men took the Emperor to command the princes and became the de facto Emperor of Zhou.
It was only in name that he was still a minister of Emperor Zhou. After all, although the rites and music were ruined, the influence of Emperor Zhou could not be wiped out so quickly in this era.
None of them dare to really go too far to launch a merger war, and they can only use their own strength to help them enjoy the king's addiction.
In addition to these two recognized overlords, there are two others: Duke Mu of Qin and King Zhuang of Chu.
But these two people came from bad backgrounds after all. One was from a small border country in Xirong, and the other was from the Chu country in the southern wilderness.
But having said that, these two are also recognized by all countries. After all, these two are very remarkable in terms of their achievements and talents.
Therefore, these two are also recognized as one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Then came Song Xianggong.
If the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period are divided into three levels, Song Xianggong is undoubtedly the worst one, and is even considered by many to be completely unworthy of the reputation of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Because the most important thing is that this guy has no absolute strength, and he is still talking about so-called benevolence and righteousness.
Even as an overlord, he was defeated in the Battle of Hongshui.
Therefore, many people actually look down on Song Xianggong.
But Song Xianggong's benevolence and righteousness were also true benevolence and righteousness, and the King of Chu who defeated Song was also despised by the princes of the Central Plains...
In addition to these five, there are actually several overlords.
But it was not included in the reputation of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
The most prosperous among them is the Jin State, because the Jin State is not only dominated by Jin Wen Gong, but also Jin Xianggong, Jin Jinggong, Jin Aogong, and Jin Dinggong. It can be said that the top and bottom have dominated for hundreds of years.
There are also Duke Zhuang of Zheng, King Helu of Wu, King Fucha of Wu, and King Goujian of Yue who are also considered to be major overlords.
From the beginning, Duke Huan of Qi, the leader of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, respected the king and resisted the barbarians.
Go to the back of Duke Wen of Jin to make an alliance with the world.
Then to Qin Mu Gong - dominate Xirong.
The King of Chuzhuang—aims to conquer the Central Plains.
Duke Xianggong of the Song Dynasty - the great righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period.
These are the common five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
In fact, there is still a real overlord for a period of time.
Zheng Zhuanggong - the four directions are Wei.
Duke Xianggong of Jin Dynasty - ruled by hanging the arch.
Jin Jinggong continued to dominate the Central Plains.
Duke Ao of Jin—dominated the Central Plains.
Helu, King of Wu, traveled across the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers.
Jin Dinggong - Huangchi is the leader.
King Wu Fucha - fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains.
Gou Jian, King of Yue, dominated the southeast.
These princes were the powerful overlords that had appeared during the Spring and Autumn Period.
In fact, at the time of Wu King Fu Chai and Yue King Gou Jian, they were no longer the real overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, because it was already the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was a war of annexation, which was also the Warring States Period.
The main reason why the Spring and Autumn Overlords were unable to annex other countries was that they could only replace Emperor Zhou as the overlord of the generation and command other princes.
And people like Gou Jian, the king of Yue, started to destroy the country.
So, the Warring States Period began.
After the Warring States Period began, the so-called benevolence, righteousness, and Zhouli of the past could no longer be seen in the entire world.
In the early Spring and Autumn Period, when fighting in the world, it was still necessary to line up in the front line and inform each other before fighting began.
If the opponent is not ready, you can't even attack.
Only when everyone is ready can we start to charge head-on.
This is the upright teacher. Only after winning can he win the hearts of the people in the world and win the respect of the princes in the world.
That was how it was in war at that time, let alone any sneak attacks.
Anyone who dares to make a sneak attack is risking the disdain of the world, and the consequences will be extremely serious.
It's different now. Now it's all about winning, no matter what you do!
Are you still waiting for you to be ready?
It’s a good thing if I didn’t make a sneak attack and use various conspiracies!
During the Warring States Period, there were frequent battles and conflicts. The strong would become strong, and the weak would perish!
There were still thousands of vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period, but now they have passed the baptism of the Warring States Period.
A hundred years later, out of hundreds of vassal states, only about twenty were left.
After decades of melee, these more than twenty countries eventually withered away, leaving only seven major powers.
They are Qin, Chu, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qi and Yan.
These seven kingdoms are also called the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.
In addition to these seven countries, there are still some small countries.
For example, the Kingdom of Lu, the Kingdom of Yue, the Kingdom of Wei, the Kingdom of Song, the Kingdom of Zhongshan, the Kingdom of Ba, the Kingdom of Shu...
These countries are no longer able to compete with the other seven countries.
After some time, these small countries also began to be annexed one after another.
Until later, wars broke out frequently between countries.
Time keeps passing.
Soon, the Qin State rose up and had a great victory over the six eastern kingdoms, constantly defeating each other. The six kingdoms they fought wanted to surrender, but this great king refused.
Because what he wants is not to beat the Six Kingdoms to their knees, but to destroy the Six Kingdoms and unify the entire Zhou Dynasty! ! !
The Great Zhou Dynasty also came to an end in this era.
He was destroyed.
This great king was named King Qin Zhaoxiang.
After all, the Human Emperor is still alive, so none of them can become the Human Emperor, and if you want to become the Human Emperor, you must be recognized by the prehistoric human race and the previous Human Emperor.
People like them who lived in the mortal world were initially called great emperors.
After the Five Emperors, no one was worthy of being called an emperor, so he was demoted one level further and was called the Son of Heaven.
The emperor has gone through Xia, Shang and three dynasties, and now the Great Zhou Dynasty has reached its last term.
Because King Qin Zhaoxiang destroyed the Zhou Dynasty...
This scene made all the princes in the world silent.
The old King of Qin had a dream when he was old.
In the dream, a young man told him that he would want a crown bigger than himself in the future!
This scene filled King Qin Zhaoxiang's face with a smile and his heart with joy.
Later I learned that a proton in Zhao State was of that size, so I immediately exchanged it for him.
This hostage's surname was Ying Mingzheng, and he was the son of Zi Chu, a stranger who had been a hostage in Zhao. Zi Chu was unable to bring the son back when he returned to the country.
In this era, there has long been no talk of clans.
After the Spring and Autumn Period of that year, the clan and the surname became one.
After taking Zi Chu back that year, King Qin Zhaoxiang was overjoyed and named the foreigner Zi Chu as the heir of An Guojun.
An Guojun is also the prince Yingzhu, which means Yiren Zichu is the prince's prince.
After that, King Zhaoxiang of Qin died of illness, and Prince Yingzhu came to the throne, known as King Xiaowen of Qin in history.
But just three days after taking the throne, he died of illness.
Prince Chu came to the throne and was known as King Zhuangxiang of Qin in history.
But just three years after taking the throne, he died of illness again...
The two terms above seem to be trying to make room for Ying Zheng...
Later, Ying Zheng was established as King of Qin. Because he was only thirteen years old, he was put in charge of the government by the Queen Mother Zhao Ji and the Prime Minister Lu Buwei.
Another eight years passed. Ying Zheng was twenty-one years old and should have taken charge long ago.
But there is still no way to personally govern.
At this time, the king's brother Chang'an Jun Chengyu led an army to attack the state of Zhao. He rebelled on the way and was suppressed.
Another year passed. King Qin held a coronation ceremony at the Qinian Palace in Yongcheng, intending to take charge of the government. Lao Ai used the royal seal of the King of Qin and the Queen Mother's seal to launch a rebellion, which was extinguished.
Another year later, the King of Qin dismissed Lu Buwei from his post as prime minister and exiled Lu Buwei to Bashu.
At this time, the 23-year-old Qin Wangzheng truly began to take charge of the government!
The young King of Qin had great ambitions. When he came to the throne, he made great use of wise men, worked hard to govern, and started to attack the six countries!
Ten years have passed.
The Six Kingdoms, which had survived for hundreds of years in the past, were completely wiped out by the King of Qin in just ten years!
So far, except for Weiguo, all places in China have been captured by Qin Wangzheng.
Wei State also did not directly destroy it because of commemorating the original Shang Yang. Instead, it directly accepted the other party's surrender, and did not remove the country, but became a vassal state of Qin State.
Just like in the past, Qin and other countries were all ministers of the Zhou Dynasty.
And the new era has completely arrived.
After the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, all feudal states were abolished and replaced by the county system.
The imperial court adopted a centralized system.
The weights and measures, the carts on the same track, the books on the same text, the lines on the same lines, and the coins on the same system.
This completely unified the country that had been divided for hundreds of years.
This time, it was cultural unity that saved a country from disintegration.
This is also the most important measure of Qin Wangzheng.
Finally, there is a discussion about the title.
Qin has been king for many years, but in front of Qin Wangzheng who now dominates the world, the word "king" is no longer enough to express his greatness.
Later someone proposed to proclaim himself emperor.
In ancient times, there were great sages, all of whom were called great emperors.
However, Qin Wangzheng still believed that this was not enough to show his respect.
So he ordered the ministers to discuss the title.
After some discussion, Prime Minister Wang Wan, Imperial Censor Feng Jie, Ting Wei Li Si and others believed that the Qin Dynasty's government "promoted righteous soldiers, punished the remaining thieves, and pacified the world", and its achievements were "unprecedented since ancient times, and beyond the reach of the five emperors".
They cited traditional honorifics, saying, "In ancient times, there were emperors of heaven, emperors of earth, and emperors of Thailand, and the emperor of Thailand was the most noble." They suggested that the Qin Dynasty adopt the title of "Emperor of Thailand".
The Emperor of Heaven is the Suiren clan in ancient times, the Emperor of Earth is the Shennong clan, and the Emperor of Tai is the current Human Emperor Xuanyuan.
After all, whether it is the Suiren clan or the Shennong clan, they are still the previous Human Emperors. Even if they are named the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Earth, in terms of true status, the most noble one is the Human Emperor Xuanyuan.
And because the ancient beings knew that the Human Emperor could not be called the Emperor, they named the Human Emperor Tai Huang.
After all, whether it is the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of Earth, or the Emperor of Humans, it is obvious that they cannot be called each other.
Because these titles are held by people, there will be great cause and effect.
Only then did he replace the Human Emperor with the Emperor of Tai, and said that the Emperor of Tai was the most expensive, and asked Qin Wangzheng to choose the name of Emperor of Tai, so that nothing would happen.
However, Qin Wangzheng was not satisfied with this. He only used the word "emperor" for one of the three emperors. Because "Three Emperors and Five Emperors" were still popular in the world, he added the word "emperor" under it to create the title "Emperor".
The emperor wanted to spread the Qin Empire to all generations, so he called himself Qin Shihuang.
Once the title of Emperor was launched, there was another avenue in the world.
The auspiciousness descended from heaven showed the achievements of Qin Shihuang.
At this moment, Qin Shihuang's original mortal body suddenly surged to the late stage of Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian.
Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, only Qin Shihuang has achieved cultivation.
But this time, it was something gained from completely changing the world by establishing a country to unify the world.
The previous rule that monks could not serve as kings and interfere with the king's policies had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But now, it has changed.
At this moment, the entire mortal world was completely different, extremely sublime.
All the courtiers already have cultivation base, but at this moment, their cultivation base is skyrocketing based on their achievements! ! !
Above the wilderness.
"Finally, the six countries were unified..."
"Emperor Qin Shihuang……"
The corners of Ye Xuan's mouth raised slightly.
In this era, some people use swords to enter the Tao, and some use medicine to enter the Tao.
But now, Qin Shihuang has entered Taoism as a king! Enter the Tao through the country! Enter Taoism with a dynasty!
When the dynasty is at its peak, Qin Shihuang is strong!
If the dynasty is weak, Qin Shi Huang's strength will be weak!
And Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng transformed from a mortal into the peak state of the late Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian in one day, which also shocked the entire mortal world.
Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief, their mouths wide open as if they could swallow an egg.
There is no way, this kind of case has never happened before.
If Shennong is an evildoer, then Xuanyuan is the evildoer among evildoers, which is no longer something that can be understood with common sense.
And now Qin Shihuang Yingzheng just turned on the plug-in! ! !
Yes, open a cheat! ! !
How can anyone achieve the peak of the late Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal after entering the Tao in one day?
The treatment of these three brothers is also more outrageous than the last.
…
Mortal Realm, Xianyang, Qin Palace.
"I understand everything..."
Ying Zheng's eyes were full of wisdom and domineering.
At this moment, he knew everything and all the ins and outs.
He is the reincarnation of Qingtian, one of the three days in ancient times.
But this is not the most important thing.
The important thing is that the human race is in trouble today, and as the emperor, he cannot refuse.
However, he knew that his time had not yet come.
Only when the human race reaches its peak can he truly be of help.
"The human race is in trouble today. As a human race in the mortal world, we should do our part."
"From now on, all the gentlemen will join me in conquering the Three Thousand Realms. When the Qin Dynasty is at its peak and prosperous, it will be the time to help the prehistoric human race!"
