Ying Zheng, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty!

Chapter 22 Great Qin has since entered the era of few people!

Qin State, Yongcheng, Qinian Palace.

After a night's rest, Ying Zheng's crowning ceremony officially began.

Starting from the Old Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials followed behind, and on both sides of the road were Da Qin soldiers wearing black armor.

Along the way, Feng Chang's Taiyueguan played solemn music, accompanied by drums like loud bells, which were rich and steady.

And Ying Zheng, surrounded by everyone, solemnly came to Qinian Palace, the palace where ancestors of past dynasties were enshrined.

"The new king is crowned, takes charge of the court, worships his ancestors, enters the palace to worship, and all the officials also worship..."

Tai Zhuling stood in front of the left side of the palace gate and shouted loudly.

Ying Zheng walked into the main hall in response, received the incense from the attendant who had been waiting inside, and came to the confessional.

What comes into view is the ranking of the previous kings of the Qin Dynasty, starting from his father, King Zhuang Xiang, at the bottom.

Going up, Ying Zheng saw the tablets of King Zhaoxiang, King Huiwen and Ying Si, and the tablets of Xiaogong Ying Quliang...

At the top is the ancestor of Qin, Feizi.

It has been more than five hundred years since Qin Xianggong was officially listed as a vassal state by King Zhou Xiao.

The Qin State, after thirty generations of monarchs' governance, has grown from a weak country in the northwest to the most powerful country it is today.

"The ceremony is completed, the new king is crowned..."

After Yingzheng came out to worship his ancestors, Tai Zhuling immediately spoke.

Outside the palace, Queen Mother Zhao Ji, with the help of her attendants, put the Pingtian Crown, symbolizing the throne, on Ying Zheng's head.

Then, he picked up a seal from the wooden board dragged by the palace maid next to him.

"Zheng'er, I will give this King of Qin's seal to you."

Queen Mother Zhao Ji solemnly handed the Wang Xi to Ying Zheng and spoke in a deep voice.

With this seal, the royal order issued by Ying Zheng was completely complete and could convince the courtiers and the people.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Ying Zheng looked solemn as he took the seal and came to the edge of the steps in front of the hall, overlooking the civil and military officials below.

"I, the King of Qin, Ying Zheng..."

Suddenly, Ying Zheng raised the seal of the King of Qin, and his deep voice, wrapped by his inner strength, resounded throughout the Qinian Palace.

"Yan..."

The moment he finished speaking, a clear and loud dragon roar suddenly sounded, spreading in all directions.

Then, in the shocked eyes of the civil and military officials, a nine-clawed black dragon with fangs and claws flew out of Ying Zheng's body and soared into the sky.

"Yan..."

At this moment, the majestic Black Dragon of National Destiny hovered in the void, and the sound of the dragon's roar could be heard.

The lifelike dragon body, dragon horns, dragon beards, and clearly visible dragon scales made everyone feel like they were in a dream.

"This is... the mythical beast black dragon?"

"how is this possible?"

Suddenly, with Qinian Palace as the center, the entire Yongcheng city was in an uproar.

All civil and military officials, as well as the people of Yongcheng and the hundreds of thousands of troops guarding them, were all shaken.

There is no way, the national luck black dragon is really too lifelike, every dragon scale is clearly visible.

There is also the heavy dragon power, which is suppressed like a big mountain, which is unbelievable.

Among hundreds of schools of thought, there may be techniques that can transform into the form of divine beasts, such as the Yin Yang family's Hun Xi Long You.

But this kind of skill can only turn into a shadow. You can tell it is fake at a glance. It is incomparable to the black dragon of national destiny in front of you.

"Your Majesty is so majestic, and you have been destined by destiny. I, the old minister, would like to congratulate your Majesty. May the Qin Dynasty live for thousands of years, and may the King live for thousands of years..."

Suddenly, in front of the main hall, the veteran Meng Ao bowed to Ying Zheng with a respectful expression and shouted loudly.

All around, the civil and military officials who were still in shock came to their senses in an instant. Looking at Meng Ao who had prostrated himself on the ground, they felt great regret in their hearts because they had not reacted just now.

All the civil and military officials did not hesitate, followed closely behind Meng Ao, prostrated themselves before Ying Zheng, and shouted in unison:

"Great Qin Wannian, Great King Wannian..."

"Great Qin Wannian, Great King Wannian..."

The rumbling sound slowly spread from the Qinian Palace, and then gradually spread to the entire Yongcheng.

In the end, the entire Yongcheng, from the civil and military officials to the common people, and even the hundreds of thousands of troops, all fell to the ground.

"Great Qin Wannian, Great King Wannian..."

Hundreds of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the deafening sound waves rolled in and spread throughout the world.At this moment, Ying Zheng's power rose again in the hearts of civil and military officials, reaching a whole new level.

"Great Qin has entered the era of few people since then!"

In front of the palace gate, Ying Zheng looked down at the palace courtyard, which was prostrated. The rumbling sound echoed in his ears, and he thought to himself.

……

After the crown ceremony, Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang, and his life became completely busy.

He first issued an edict granting amnesty to the whole country, and then successively issued orders to encourage farmers and recruit talents.

At the same time, he ordered the whole country to abolish the burial of human beings, and also successively abolished the excessively cruel corporal punishments such as cannon burning in Qin law.

In terms of government affairs, he agreed to Lu Buwei's memorial letter, rejected his request to return to his hometown for retirement, and allowed him to continue to stay in Xianyang.

Shangqing Meng Ao was rewarded with tens of thousands of gold for his meritorious service in sending troops this time, was promoted to a higher rank, was made a great minister, and was given food for a thousand households.

His grandson Meng Tian was promoted to the third rank and became a public official. He was moved to the rank of military marquis and led the troops.

Wang Jue, the chief of the Zuo concubine, because of his previous involvement with Luo Sheng, his merits and demerits were equal to each other, so he refused to reward or punish him.

After receiving the reward, Meng Ao and Wang Yan led their troops back to the border and continued to sit in command.

After that, Ying Zheng divided the power of the prime ministers in the court and restored the left and right prime ministers (the Qin State respected the right, and the left and right prime minister system was established during the period of King Wu of Qin).

With Lord Changping as the Prime Minister on the right, Dr. Wang Wan worshiped as the Prime Minister and became the Prime Minister on the left, taking charge of the government affairs of the court and assisting Ying in governing the Qin Dynasty.

In the next ten days, the situation in the Great Qin Dynasty changed. Officials of Lu Buwei's group were deposed and idled.

There are many more vacancies in the temple.

Feng Quji was appointed as the official censor, Yinglian of the clan was appointed as Zongzheng, Mao Jiao was appointed as Dianke, Dunwei was promoted to Shaofu, and Yao Jia was appointed as court lieutenant...

For the remaining vacancies, Ying Zheng will promote them as appropriate based on the list submitted by Chang Pingjun and Wang Wan.

In this way, it was not until more than half a month later that the changes in the Great Qin Court slowly stopped and normal operations began.

Ying Zheng was also able to take time off from the busy court affairs to deal with other matters.

……

Huayang Palace.

"Marriage with Chu State?"

After hearing Queen Mother Huayang's suggestion, Ying Zheng's expression changed.

In the past few days, the Queen Mother Huayang has been sending people to Lanchi Palace to ask if Ying Zheng has free time to come to Huayang Palace to tell the story.

In the past few days, Ying Zheng was busy dealing with political affairs every day. From morning to night, except for eating, he had almost no free time.

To this day, people under the command of Lord Changping and Wang Wan have successively arrived, and the Great Qin court is operating normally, sharing many political affairs for Ying Zheng.

This gave him a lot of extra time to come here to meet the Queen Mother Huayang.

But he didn't expect that the purpose of Queen Mother Huayang looking for him was actually for the marriage between Qin and Chu.

"Yes, since King Huiwen and Queen Mother Xuan, Qin and Chu have had a custom of marriage."

"Now that the king is crowned and in power, the harem is empty, which is not good for the government."

"Now that the marriage between the two countries can continue the good old days, it will bring all the benefits and no harm. Isn't it wonderful?"

"I wonder, Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Queen Mother Huayang asked Ying Zheng.

"Grandma's words are reasonable, and I have no objection to it. However, Da Qin is busy with political affairs now, and I have no extra energy to pay attention to this matter."

"All matters can be discussed between the grandmother, the queen mother and Feng Chang."

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Making good friends with the Chu State does indeed bring more advantages than disadvantages to the current Great Qin.

It's just a marriage, it's not harmful to him. Anyway, there will always be people entering his harem.

Of course, marriage is possible, but don't think about the position of queen.

The most important thing in the court is to balance the power. Ying Zheng will not allow the Chu power to grow uncontrollably and divide the power of the prime minister. This is why.

"That's very good. I will do my best to handle this matter. Your Majesty, you can rest assured."

Queen Mother Huayang was overjoyed when she heard this and immediately spoke.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Ying Zheng took Gai Nie and left Huayang Palace on the grounds that there were many political affairs.
