A Quick Walkthrough: Male God, Don’t Run Away

Shu Ange cleaned up Zhao Qian this time, and let the other party have troubles, and after being proud, he did not find fault with him again.

It was an accident once, and it was a calculation if it was more. Qin was in a troubled time, so she had to take the overall situation into consideration.

From spring to autumn, Zhao State took Li Mu as its general and conquered Wusui and Fangcheng of Yan State. Shu Ange sympathized with Yan Guo, but it was only sympathy.

The war between Zhao and Yan came to an end for the time being. Prince Zhao couldn’t wait to leave Xianyang and returned to Zhao State. Qin State’s protons in Zhao State also returned to Xianyang.

In October, the plague of locusts broke out on a large scale. Although the Qin state had already prepared for it, and Shu Ange had made many plans to eliminate locusts in advance, in this era, it can be cut off from the source, and the flood of locusts is still very scary.

But they are not in vain. After the locust broke out, the county governors and magistrates in various places organized the people to fight the locust together, and used the locusts killed by the fire to feed poultry such as chickens and ducks.

The damage caused by the locust disaster is much lighter than that in history, because the imperial court prepared to get it, opened the warehouse in time, and organized the affected people in various places to deal with the dead in time, and no plague occurred.

After years of disasters, in order to replenish the granary and provide timely relief, the Qin state issued a new decree that the people would be entitled to a rank of rank as long as they received a thousand grains of grain.

The Qin state is very strict with respect to the award of titles. In the past, titles could only be granted by military merit.

As soon as the new decree came out, many businessmen worked hard to donate the surplus grain hidden in their homes, just to get a title.

A thousand stone grains converted into modern units is more than 20 tons of grain.

Relying on a commendation, in exchange for more than 20 tons of food, to rescue one side of the people, Shu Ange thinks it is still very worthwhile.

Under the active disaster relief of the imperial court, the influence of the locust plague gradually faded away. At this time, a big news that shook the six kingdoms suddenly came from Wei.

Lord Xinling of Wei State Wei Wuji passed away. As one of the four sons of the Warring States Period, Lord Xinling is of great significance to the State of Wei.

When Qin State attacked Wei State, if Lord Xinling had not united the five kingdoms to attack Qin State, Wei State would have been beaten by half a long time ago.

When Wei Wuji was an adult, the state of Wei went from prosperity to decline. He followed the example of Lord Mengchang and Lord Pingyuan to recruit many people, and his followers were numerous.

Because of his courtesy and loyalty, he is very prestige among the feudal lords. The famous story of besieging Wei and saving Zhao in history is also from his hand.

Lord Xinling was very talented in both humanities and martial arts, but it is a pity that his half-brother, the King of Wei, was suspicious of him many times, so Lord Xinling died at an early age due to injury after he rescued Wei from the siege.

The death of Lord Xinling is not good news for the other six countries.

At the time when Lord Xinling was there, when facing the mighty Qin, Wei and several other countries still had the courage to fight together. Now that the death of Lord Xinling, Wei's morale has dropped too much.

This is very good news for the state of Qin. The king of Qin sent the general Meng Ao to lead the army to attack the state of Wei.

To describe it in Shu Ange's words, this is taking advantage of his illness to kill him.

Qin Wangzheng for four years, spent in various famines, to Qin Wangzheng five years, the situation of the Qin country finally improved.

In a blink of an eye, Ying Zheng was eighteen years old, and Young Master Cheng Yan was over fifteen.

Empress Dowager Xia was worried about the son's becoming a nobleman, mobilized all kinds of contacts, used methods, and persuaded Korea to give Di Baili to Qin.

Of course, Empress Dowager Xia's actions were not purely to expand Qin's territory, but to allow Cheng Yan to build military exploits.

Ying Zheng had no problem with this. Although he didn't like Cheng Zhe very much, he didn't mind the expansion of Qin's territory.

Cheng Yan's mission to South Korea, including the round-trip itinerary, would have been enough for a few months. But King Han kept him as a guest in Korea, and he stayed a little longer.

Qin State suffered a lot of disasters in the past two years. With the prayers of the common people, clans and ministers, Ying Zheng decided to hold sacrifices on the banks of the Wei River to pray for good weather and good weather for the country and the people.

For Shu Ange, who used to be an empress, the sacrificial ceremony is no stranger.

But to attend as a supporting role, to witness the famous Qin Shihuang's sacrificial ceremony, for her, it is a very worth looking forward to.

To hold a sacrificial ceremony, it is necessary to choose the auspicious day of the zodiac, and prepare the three animals for sacrificial sacrifices, as well as other sacrifices and wine in advance.

Before the official sacrifice, Ying Zheng would burn incense, bathe and change clothes in advance. At this time, Buddhism had not spread, so fasting could be omitted.

When the King of Qin visited the Weishui River to preside over the sacrifices, the first and foremost concern was safety.

This is like in modern times, when the main leaders of various countries are present, the security alert must be raised to the 3s level. Otherwise, if one is not careful, the heads of countries will have an accident, which will rise to the level of international conflict.

This is still in modern times. Even if the head of state suddenly has an accident, relying on a strong state system, people's normal life can be carried out stably.

If in ancient times, the sudden death of the king, without the premise of determining the successor, is very likely to cause turmoil and war.

Therefore, the safety of King Qin is very important.

As the commander-in-chief of the palace guards, Shu Ange, Wang Jian, the lieutenant, and Yang Lian, the lieutenant of the army, arranged for the guards during the sacrifice a month ago.

On the day of the sacrifice, Shu Ange handed over her guards to Wang Jian to supervise on her behalf, while she herself changed into a witch's clothes and put on a bronze divine beast mask, ready to dance Nuo dance during the sacrifice.

Nuo dance is widely respected by the people. The larger the scale of sacrifice, the larger and more complex the Nuo dance is. Legend has it that Nuo dance can communicate with ghosts and gods, and expel evil spirits and plagues.

The turbid and turbid waters of the Wei River are crowded with people, and the people are not allowed to move forward, but can only watch from afar on the mountain and downstream.

The outermost are the two thousand elite soldiers from Xianyang Weishujun, all of them tall and not angry.

Inward, there are the local parents and officials of Weishui and some middle and lower-level officials, all of them wearing new starched official uniforms.

On the inner side are hundreds of palace guards, dignitaries of the Qin state, palace maids, envoys from various countries, and today's protagonist - Qin Wangzheng.

Ying Zheng had a solemn expression, his body stood upright, his hands arched. The thousands of people surrounding him did not dare to make a sound, like a silent forest.

A little breeze quietly brought a little coolness to everyone under the scorching sun.

At this time, a slow and powerful male voice came: "The auspicious time has come, Shimizu washes hands!"

The person who shouted was Feng Chang Yunmu, who was in charge of sacrifices at the ancestral temple and various ceremonies of the Qin state.

A palace servant in a fancy dress came over with a painted gold agate basin in his hand, and knelt down before Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng stretched out his hand into the basin, and after cleaning for a while, the agate basin was withdrawn.

The palace servant on the side immediately bent his knees and walked forward, quickly and carefully wiping his freshly washed hands with a cloth.

After the wash was over, Feng Chang's voice sounded again, and it was time to put incense.

Shu Ange pretended to be a witch and offered the incense in his hand. After Ying Zheng took it over, General Meng Wu stepped forward and set it on fire. After inserting his hands into the cauldron, he looked up at the subjects under the altar.

The bells and drums sounded, and the carefully selected three animals, melons, fruits, wines, and gold and silver jewelry were all thrown into the Weishui, and after a spin, they sank to the bottom.

The sacrifices sank to the bottom of the water, representing that the gods accepted the offerings, and the subjects on both sides of the strait looked at the king of Qin in a gorgeous dress with excitement.

On the altar, Ying Zheng recited the prayer in a deep and deep voice.

The witches danced with all kinds of sacrificial utensils in their hands. The Shu An singer was holding a string of bronze bells, with red ropes and smaller bells tied around her ankles. Her snowy jade-like wrists were light and light. With a gentle shake, the bell made a heartwarming jingle.

When the sorcerer danced, he did not dare to get too close to the King of Qin. Only Shu Ange was alone, spinning and dancing like a goddess flying in the sky, dancing wildly in a position very close to Ying Zheng.

Before the Nuo dance, Shu Ange only communicated with Wang Jian and Yang Lian, who were in charge of the guards, and did not tell Ying Zheng.

When she came forward with incense in person, Ying Zheng's eyes fell on her for a moment, and Shu Ange didn't know if he recognized her.

Nuo dance is a very important part of the sacrificial ceremony. Shu Ange danced around Ying Zheng attentively. He recited the prayers slowly, and some subjects in the audience were already shedding tears.

This ancient ritual is the easiest to evoke the fragility and emotion that people hide in their hearts.

King Qin is young, and his ability to control the overall situation is very good. This is not the first time he has presided over a sacrifice, but it is the largest sacrifice in recent years.

The bells rang out, the drum music was ethereal, and only Ying Zheng's voice resounded between the heavens and the earth.

This strange situation is not only because the surround sound effect of the altar is extremely strong, but also because Shu Ange moved his hands and feet quietly.

Her man presided over the sacrifice, how could she be worthy of Ying Zheng's preferential treatment of her without helping her.

The turbid yellow water surface suddenly fluctuated, and on the sky where the scorching sun was headed, the dark clouds gradually gathered.

Suddenly, a black antler-shaped object appeared on the water surface, and then moved rapidly in ripples.

Everyone who bowed their heads and looked forward at the same time, if it wasn't for the ritual requirement to keep silent, they would almost burst out in exclamation.

After a while, the antler-shaped object disappeared, and the water returned to calm.

While everyone wondered what it was, they thought to themselves that the worship had been carried out to such an extent that it could be said to be very complete.

Don't you see, more than a dozen generations of kings from all over the world have sacrificed real dragons many times, but they have never seen a single dragon scale. Occasionally, after seeing Big Fish a few times, he began to brag about the real dragon, and now these people have indeed met the legendary dragon horn.

Just as everyone bowed their heads and thought wildly, a terrifying "bang" suddenly erupted from the water in front of them. The sound was so loud that it seemed that someone had burst the riverbed from below.

Ying Zheng looked around and saw a giant dragon with black scales, antlers, eagle claws, snake body, about twenty feet tall, staring at him.

Is this the legendary black dragon?

Ying Zheng had no fear in his heart, and Jing Jing and Heilong looked at each other across the Weishui.

You are a real dragon, and the widow is also a real dragon, so why be afraid!

Heaven and earth seemed to fall into silence at the same time, only the sound of rolling thunder was deafening.

The sorcerers stopped the Nuo dance and knelt down to the ground one after another, their eyes showing piety, only Shu Ange and Ying Zheng were still standing on the altar.

(Meow, dragon~~ Do you know that Qin Shihuang also has an alias called Zulong, which is very cool)
