Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 505, Ziyou: Please follow me to death!
After a grand ceremony to ennoble a marquis and worship the prime minister, Chang Feng determined the date when Ying Zheng would officially ascend the throne. The entire Qin State continued to send people to Baiyue and Dian to open up wasteland, and at the same time, it continued to prepare for Ying Zheng's enthronement.

As the days passed, in the eighteenth year of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin State destroyed the six countries, conquered the grasslands in the north, supported Baiyue and Dian Kingdom in the south, and conquered the Western Regions in the west. The work of the world was finally completed.

After discussing with Confucians and Taoists, Chang Feng chose the best day as the enthronement ceremony for Ying Zheng. Then Ying Zheng issued the enthronement edict and summoned the world at the same time, reaching Songhai in the east, Longcheng in the north and Longcheng in the west. From the Western Regions to Guilin Xiangjun in the south, edicts were sent to all places where the Qin Kingdom's black bird flag was planted.

In the eighteenth year of the Qin Dynasty, it was September 17th.

Ying Zheng's enthronement ceremony is today. There is an endless stream of people coming from all over the world to watch the ceremony. Red silk and satin are floating above the streets. Xianyang City, which is full of thick and simple, is immersed in a sea of ​​red silk and satin.

The black black bird flag was interspersed among the red silk and satin, demonstrating the majesty of the Qin State. When entering the city gate of Xianyang, the most elite garrison soldiers were checking the people entering the city one by one. The line of common people has no end in sight.

There is an endless stream of hawkers on the streets of Xianyang City, and laughter and laughter can be heard everywhere.

In the Palace of Qin, countless chamberlains and guards were nervously arranging the items needed for the ceremony. In the harem, Zhao Gao was reporting the process of the ceremony to Ying Zheng, who was changing his dress.

"Today, Your Majesty, you will first meet with hundreds of officials in the Palace of Qin. At this time, various places will offer local specialties to the Qin Kingdom. After that, Your Majesty will lead hundreds of officials and offerings from various places to inspect Xianyang and accept the offerings from people from all over the world. Congratulations, and finally go to the ancestral temple to worship our ancestors of the Qin Dynasty and congratulate the unification of the world." Zhao Gao explained the process.

"Well, are you ready with the sacrificial proclamation?" Ying Zheng sat on the throne, and the chamberlain placed the crown on Ying Zheng's head.

"Ready, Your Majesty will take a look at it." Zhao Gao presented the notice.

After Ying Zheng glanced at it roughly, he nodded and said

"You have been with me for more than ten years, right?"

"I have been with His Majesty since the seventh year of King Qin's reign. It has been eleven years, three months and thirteen days." Zhao Gao said as if he were counting treasures from his family.

"It's rare that you remember it so clearly. After today, you don't have to be with me anymore." Ying Zheng said calmly.

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, then knelt down in front of Ying Zheng and said

"Did I fail to serve you well? Why did Your Majesty drive me away?"

"You have been with me for many years, and I also know that you are familiar with the law and are familiar with Legalism and Confucianism. It is too unqualified to only serve as an official of the Central Chefuge. Although you are also asked to oversee the affairs of Wenyuan Pavilion, in the end It's inconvenient. Li Si is about to be promoted to Prime Minister You, and Han Fei will take over as Tingwei. You take over as Han Fei's chief eunuch, and you will be rewarded with a title of right, and you will be admitted to the court." Ying Zheng said calmly.

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Gao's eyes were full of excitement, and tears flowed out of his eyes unconsciously. From the time he first met Ziyou, to serving Yingzheng and mastering the Luowang, he began to serve Yingzheng diligently and serve the Qin State. Now he finally exchanged his identity as a normal person and walked out of the hidden palace. , became the former high minister.

"Slave, Zhao Gao, thank your Majesty for the reward. From now on, you will die for your Majesty and be loyal to Qin." Zhao Gao bowed his head and said.

"Well, you've done well over the years."

Ying Zheng's light compliment made Zhao Gao particularly happy. This was not only a recognition of his ability, but also an affirmation of his future.

"This is what a slave should do."

After Zhao Gao finished speaking, the bell outside the palace rang.

"Let's go." Ying Zheng said calmly.

Zhao Gao stood up and wiped the tears from his face and shouted loudly
"Your Majesty, move!"

When the servants outside heard the news, they all conveyed the news of Ying Zheng's departure.

Outside the Qin Dynasty's court meeting hall, civilian officials headed by Lu Buwei and military generals headed by Li Mu were lined up on both sides. Zi Youhe stood next to Lu Buwei, side by side with Li Si.

"Junior brother, this king is really enviable." Li Si said jokingly.

The Qin State has decided to implement the system of prefectures and counties. Neither royal princes nor ministers can grant titles to the country. This means that the Qin State will not easily have royal titles again. Even if there are, they will be given to the royal princes. It can be said that Ziyou is The only king in the Qin State now is still a king with a different surname. Although those who were granted the title of prince or king could only collect taxes and could not interfere in local affairs, even if they had a settlement.

But is the fiefdom Ying Zheng gave to Ziyou Songhai City, or the entire Songhai City? What kind of place is Songhai? It is the headquarters of Confucianism, which is equivalent to handing over the entire Songhai to Ziyou. It is not a feudal state, but it is better than a feudal state. What's more important is that Ziyou's throne belongs to Yin Si. This is the only case in Qin State. You can get the title of Qin, but in the same way, only one of your descendants can inherit it, and if the successor fails to make another military exploit, he can only lower the title and hand it to the next generation.

Ziyou's descendants are different. As long as Qin still exists, his descendants will always occupy the throne, but the title may be taken away after three generations.

"Senior brother is also a Marquis of Guannei, and he still has this title, which is already very enviable." Ziyou said with a smile.

According to the unspoken rules of the Qin State, under good leadership, Ying Zheng can award rewards at will. A good build requires merit before being rewarded by the Marquis of Guannei, while the Marquis of Che must have sufficient military merit before being rewarded. For a person like Li Si who had never been on the battlefield, being named a Marquis of Guannei was considered the upper limit of his title. Even as long as Li Si can go to the Western Regions and do nothing, he will definitely be Chehou when he comes back.

"I heard from people below that the Gongshu family and the Mo family are building a huge ship recently to go overseas to find fairy islands?" Li Si asked with a frown.

This kind of begging for immortality and ghosts is what Li Si least wants to see. He will soon be the right minister of Qin and needs to be responsible for Qin's finance and civil affairs as well as the transfer of officials. He saw the cost of manufacturing mirages yesterday, and it was already a huge number. If all this money was invested in people's livelihood, Baiyue and Dian Kingdom would be able to build a new road not only on the people's livelihood, but also on the road leading to them from Xianyang. .

"Brother, this is true, but why, I can't tell you for the time being, but please don't worry, the reason why I did this makes sense." Ziyou said in a low voice.

Li Si didn't expect Ziyou to dare to support this matter. After thinking about it, he relaxed his frown and nodded.

"I believe you, but this thing costs too much money. If possible, I hope you can spend less."

"Okay." Ziyou nodded and said.

Then the two stopped talking and waited quietly for Ying Zheng to appear. When Ying Zheng's figure appeared in front of everyone, the bell rang nine times, and the ministers, led by Lu Buwei and Li Mu, saluted Ying Zheng. After the ceremony, the governors from various places came forward with special treasures from each place to present gifts to Ying Zheng. Each gift was placed on the huge map of Qin's territory issued by Ying Zheng. Looking at the dazzling array of special things from each place, A look of extreme satisfaction appeared in Ying Zheng's eyes.

"Today is the day when I ascend the throne, and all the nine states and seas in the world will surrender under my feet. I hope that from now on, our Great Qin will live forever, and the people of Great Qin will live forever." Ying Zheng said loudly.

"Long live your Majesty!"

After a burst of cheers, Ying Zheng and his ministers began to parade through the streets. After seeing Ying Zheng, the people along the way shouted "His Majesty for ten thousand years". After seeing the unique things from various places, the pride on the faces of the Xianyang people Hard to cover up. Many old Qin people were so excited that tears filled their eyes. The lives of the remaining soldiers of the sixth generation of the Qin Kingdom and countless Qin soldiers had brought about the unification of the world. The mission engraved in the bones of the old Qin people has finally been completed.

Ying Zheng took the queen and Fusu to sit on the carriage and looked at the excited people outside. Ying Zheng's face was full of smiles.

"Fu Su, you have to remember that all the people belong to the world. Only by winning the hearts and minds of the people can the long-term peace and stability of Qin be maintained." Ying Zheng said.

"I know, kid," Fusu said.

As the parade ended, Ying Zheng led the ministers to the ancestral temple. Under the sound of bells, Ying Zheng came to the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Qin State. The Jiuzhou tripod transported from Yueyang was also placed in the main hall. In addition, according to the division of Kyushu, the offerings from various places are placed under the corresponding bronze tripods.

Following Chang Feng's reading, Ying Zheng held the proclamation under the burning bronze cauldron and loudly read the feat of Qin's unification of the world and peace of the world.

After Ying Zheng finished reading, he looked at the tablets of the ancestors of Qin.

"Da Qin's mission of unifying the world has been completed today. I came here to pay tribute to my ancestors!" After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he threw the notice into the fire.

Ying Zheng turned around and opened his hands, throwing aside his gorgeous formal robes.

"From now on, this world will be the world of Qin. From now on, there can only be one country in the world, and that is Qin. From now on, there will be no distinction between Qin people, Zhao people, Han people, etc. in this world, and there will be no distinction between people in this world." The theory of the Central Plains, Baiyue, Western Regions and Grasslands. Today, all peoples in the world, no matter which tribe, city or land you come from, you are all subjects of Qin within the territory of Qin.

Today I am renaming the people of the world. From now on, people of all races and places will no longer be distinguished, they will be the same race and the same country. I have established a name for the world, saying: Huaxia! "Ying Zheng said loudly.

"Xia means elegance, Hua means gorgeous clothes. Starting today, the world is one family!"

"Long live your Majesty!" the minister below shouted excitedly.

The most excited people were not the Central Plains ministers, but He Yangli, Abatu, Tianze and others. Although the Qin State accommodated them, they were always worried that they were not from the same ethnic group as the Central Plains, so they still felt that There is some grudge, and this grudge is not unique to them, but universal. Now that Ying Zheng has redefined the race and given a new name to the new race that merged their various races, they can also let go of their grudges.

After shouting long live, a dragon roar came from the sky. Everyone looked at the sky in confusion, suspecting that they heard wrongly. This dragon roar enveloped the entire Xianyang, and the people of Xianyang City also looked at the sky curiously.

A giant black five-clawed dragon raised its head from the gate outside Xianyang. This is where the dragon veins of the Qin Kingdom are located.
The black dragon of the Qin State has now grown to an unprecedented level. The fate of annexing the Six Kingdoms, the Grasslands, Baiyue and the Western Regions has enriched the black dragon to an unprecedented level.

The black dragon jumped up from the gate and headed towards Xianyang.

The people in Xianyang City looked up at the sky and saw the black dragon appearing in the sky. They were all extremely excited, and some even knelt on the ground on the spot.

The black dragon finally came to the ancestral temple. The ministers were all dumbfounded when they looked at the lucky black dragon in the sky. The black dragon was hovering in the sky, and the roar of the dragon continued. Then he plunged into Ying Zheng's arms. Everyone was extremely excited watching this miraculous scene.

Even Ying Zheng's hands started to tremble slightly.

Ying Zheng was trembling because he felt the gathering of luck in the world, and saw countless golden lights rising into the sky in his eyes. These were the dragon veins in the world, and the luck contained in the dragon veins formed golden lights and rushed towards the sky. , forming a huge Qin character in the sky.

Grand masters from all over the world also sensed the condensation of luck and the power of heaven and earth, and raised their heads to look at the flashing word Qin in the sky.

Then the word Qin turned into countless golden lights and fell on every piece of Qin's territory, becoming the force of destiny that protected Qin.

Ying Zheng put away his hands, the ceremony bell rang, and the ceremony ended, followed by a banquet.

After the lively ceremony of Ying Zheng's enthronement, the heads of hundreds of families who were supposed to leave now gathered on the top floor of the library pavilion of Daqin Academy.

There are eight floors in the Library Pavilion, seven of which are dedicated to collecting books, but the eighth floor, the highest, is a conference room with tables and chairs, and heads of various sects are present at the moment. They drank tea and waited for Ziyou, who was sitting in the main seat, to speak.

"Everyone, I came here for one thing." Ziyou said in a deep voice while looking at everyone.
"Please follow me to death!"

"FaTian!?" Old Dong Huang was the first to react.

All the sects among the hundreds of sects have heard about the matter of conquering the sky, but most people don't know. Except for a few sects, a large part of the inheritance of other sects has long been cut off, among which There are things about the gods and their descendants.

"I know some of you don't know these things, but today I will tell you everything. But at the same time, I hope everyone will keep it a secret. If I know that someone has leaked this news, I don't mind letting their sect know it." The inheritance is completely cut off." Ziyou said coldly.

"Your Majesty, please speak." The head of the Kanyu family said.

"it is good."

Then Ziyou told all about the gods and their descendants. The eyes of those who came into contact with this news for the first time were filled with shock and confusion. They could not believe that gods actually existed in the world, and that gods were not as good as they imagined. They even wanted to enslave the human race.

"I know it's hard for everyone to accept, but this is the fact." Ziyou said in a deep voice.

"My lord, are you talking about conquering the sky in order to deal with the counterattack after the Jue Tian Di Tong was breached?" the head of the Song family asked curiously.
