Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 160 Parade
Longevity is a dream, and the [-]-year-old Peng Zu is just a fictional character in myths and novels.

Even now, people cannot live forever, let alone the Qin Dynasty that was more than 2000 years ago.

But at that time, everyone was superstitious and believed that myths existed, which was why Qin Wangzheng was eager to obtain longevity.

"Peng Xu can live to be eight hundred years old. As the emperor of the ages, why can't I live a hundred years?"

Qin Wangzheng sat on the emperor's couch and told Li Si.

Li Si cupped his hands, and the terrifying breath had already wet Li Si's back, but Li Si calmly said: "Since there are records in ancient books, why doesn't His Majesty go out to tour the four directions, and look for the way of longevity while showing the prestige of the Qin State!"

Qin Wangzheng adopted Li Si's suggestion, and he had already made plans to go on a tour. The two hit it off and decided to start their second tour of the world in the spring of the next year.

This time the route started from Xianyang to Hewai, passing through Yishan, Taishan, Langye, Pengcheng, Xiangshan, Hengshan, Yangtze River, Anlu, Nanjun, and then entered Wuguan to return to Qin.

Judging from the distance traveled and the many activities along the way, it generally takes a full year to leave in early spring and return in autumn!
The main mission of this tour is to declare the authority of the Great Qin Empire!
The main measures are to offer sacrifices to heaven and consecrate Zen on Mount Tai, and Father Liang carves stones to frighten the world and the world!

The reason for choosing Mount Tai is because it is recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas that Mount Tai was formed by the illusion of the head of Pangu after the creation of the world.

Therefore, the Chinese people have worshiped Mount Tai since ancient times, and there is a saying that "if Mount Tai is safe, all the world will be safe".

Qin Wangzheng swept the world, unified Liuhe, conquered the Xiongnu in the north, and conquered Baiyue in the south. He naturally hoped that the empire he had just unified would last forever. Fengchan Taishan is to pray to God to bless the stability of the Qin Kingdom, and the success of future generations of emperors!

After a winter of corrections, in the spring of the 29th year of the Qin Dynasty, the rumble army had all left Xianyang City.

The right prime minister Feng Quji and the imperial censor Feng Jie were responsible for guarding Xianyang in case of unexpected events, and they held the Tai'a Sword. Once the Qin Dynasty encountered any unexpected events, they would immediately support the eldest son Fusu as the emperor.

The Zuo Prime Minister Li Si followed Qin Wangzheng to participate in Fengchan.

While touring the world to promote morality, he is also looking for the way of longevity, hoping that he can live forever like Peng Zu.
This time, the journey to Mount Tai went very smoothly, with almost no assassinations or obstructions. People along the way also prostrated themselves on the ground to show their submission.

Qin Wangzheng finally had an indelible smile on his face. Unlike the first tour, the people had changed from passive submission to active submission, which also proved that the people of Great Qin had basically recognized Qin Wangzheng.

The national transportation network composed of Chidao also facilitated the movement of the imperial army. The army was mighty and mighty, galloping on the Chidao like a flying arrow.

Along the way, watching the curved shaft plow, treadmill, and keel waterwheel looming in the field, Qin Wangzheng felt an indescribable excitement and glanced at the little child slave with his peripheral vision.

The little child slave noticed Qin Wangzheng's gaze, jumped decisively into Qin Wangzheng's palm, and screamed, the sound was like the sound of nature!

After arriving at Mount Tai, Qin Wangzheng convened a hundred officials to discuss, and then ordered Zhao Gao to inscribe on the huge stone on the top of Mount Tai: "Within Liuhe, the land of the emperor. The quicksand in the west, and the north to the south. There is the East China Sea in the east, and the Great Xia in the north. .”

"Wherever people go, there is no one who is not a minister. The merits of the five emperors are as high as cattle and horses. There is no one who is not virtuous, and each has his own peace."

The general idea is as stated in the Book of Songs, "Everything in the world is the land of the king, and on the shore of the land, is it the ministers of the king." This is to show the majesty of the Qin Dynasty.

The time for book burning has already happened, and the Qin king's government has always been simple. This time, the Zen ceremony was based on the simple etiquette of the Qin palace.

At the same time as the Feng Chan, Qin Wangzheng also dispatched an army to secretly search for the way to immortality.

After learning that Qin Wangzheng longed for longevity, Han Zhong, Hou Gong, and Shi Sheng from South Korea sneaked into the camp secretly at night, and were arrested on the spot by the Zhonglang guards in charge of the guards.

When the three of them met Qin Wangzheng, they were not nervous at all, but rather agitated. They knelt down on the ground and said slightly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are alchemists from Han. They know the way of longevity. Your Majesty prolongs life!"

Qin Wangzheng's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said in a cold tone: "The crime of deceiving the emperor should be punished by the nine tribes. Aren't you afraid of losing your heads?"

No one would believe that these three crooked alchemists could refine elixir, so Qin Wangzheng was the first to doubt it anyway.

Even Zuo Prime Minister Li Si smiled coldly: "The three of you are from Han, and you are originally ministers of South Korea. Why doesn't King An of Han have immortality? Why don't you have immortality?"

Han Zhong and Shi Sheng looked at each other, their blood speeding up and their hearts in their throats.

Hou Sheng did not panic, and said with cupped hands: "The King of Han is just an ordinary man, and the ministers are just alchemists. The elixir has no effect on ordinary people. Only gods like your majesty can work!"

Li Si was slightly startled. He didn't expect that although Hou Sheng could talk crookedly, his mouth was like a honey pot, making people feel comfortable listening to him.

But even if he was killed, he would not believe that there is a way of longevity, but Qin Wangzheng became interested, and waved his hand slightly, letting Hou Sheng and the three continue to talk.

Hou Sheng and the others seemed to have been given a heavy responsibility and gave an impassioned speech to King Qin.

Although it was crooked, but the warlock knew the gossip of the Book of Changes, and a few quotations from the scriptures made Li Si almost believe it.

Qin Wangzheng's face gradually eased, and he said lightly: "In this case, the three of you will be responsible for refining the longevity elixir!"

"There must be no mistake!" Qin Wangzheng's eyes were like ten thousand years of cold ice, his whole body exuded a terrifying murderous intent, and he said coldly: "If you dare to deceive me! I will never forgive you lightly!"

Finally, Qin Wangzheng became a living doctor, and Quan Qi trusted Hou Sheng and the three of them once, so he ordered the three of them to be responsible for refining the elixir. If any items needed to be purchased, he could directly withdraw money and items from the government after informing Qin Wangzheng.

The next day, the three of Hou Sheng were escorted to Xianyang City by a force of fifty riders, and Feng Quji also received an order to build a bronze tripod in the Shaofu and be responsible for making the elixir.

Hou Sheng and the others didn't know anything about elixirs. They just mechanically created some elixirs with extremely high heavy metal content according to the records in ancient books.

Feng Quji stared wide-eyed, unbelievable that Qin Wangzheng believed in alchemists!

Any emperor is obsessed with longevity for ten thousand years, and whoever persuades him will be executed, but in the end he still cannot escape the bad luck of death.

But Feng Quji could only pretend to be confused, and was ordered to create an elixir.

Qin Wangzheng knew that the way to immortality was difficult to see, but he was still willing to try it.

Dreams should always be there, what if one day they come true?
But the little child slave saw the weirdness of the alchemy method at a glance, and also knew that the alchemy was just an illusion, so he opened the rift in time and space and went to another world...
