Yunyang Xiaoyingzheng [Da Qin]

Facing the question raised by the king, Xu Fu was speechless for a moment.But since he was able to think of tricks to deceive the local county magistrate, he was naturally quick-witted.

He saluted Ah Zheng again, and explained slowly: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Although taoist priests travel in the nine heavens and see some immortal arts, they have not really cultivated to become immortals. They are just different from ordinary people. It's just a little bit different."

Ah Zheng smiled and nodded: "You mean, you have seen immortals, but you don't know how to perform them, right?"

Seeing the smile on the king's face, Xu Fu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and replied: "Although Taoist priests haven't learned fairy arts, they have seen the way of longevity from immortals. I would like to refine the elixir and offer it to the king."

Ah Zheng suddenly lost interest and found it meaningless.He remembered that when Aju told him about the method of governing the country before, he once said that there was a king who pursued the way of longevity and asked the alchemist to make alchemy and seek immortality.He was very interested in hearing this story at first, but Ah Ju said that there is no elixir for life in this world. The materials used by those alchemists to make alchemy are all poisonous. lifespan.

It's just that he hasn't seen the elixir so far, so he doesn't know if what Ah Ju said is true or not, maybe the Xu Fu in front of him can really refine the elixir.Of course, he summoned these capable men and strangers not to seek longevity, but to find Aju.

Ah Zheng continued to ask Xu Fu calmly: "Aside from refining elixir, what other skills do you have?"

Xu Fudao: "A taoist once learned Taoism from an immortal and learned the art of summoning souls. Is there someone he misses in his heart?"

Ah Zheng was silent for a while: "Can you also summon people from other worlds?"

Although he didn't know who the person from the other world that Wang Shang said was referring to, Xu Fu still showed some pretentious embarrassment on his face: "If it is a person from another world, it will take more effort, it can't be achieved in a few days, and There must be something used by this person as a token for summoning souls."

Ah Zheng: "Then how long will it take you to achieve it?"

Xu Fu said slowly: "The art of summoning souls takes a lot of time. I need to let the king build a Zhaxing Pavilion in the palace to connect the heavens and the earth. After that, I need at least a year of work."

Ah Zheng nodded: "Okay, I will build you the Zhaixing Pavilion, and I will also give you a year's work. If I don't see anyone after a year, then I will see if you really died ten years ago." If you need to prepare something, just ask this man, and he will do it for you."

Ah Zheng pointed to the old eunuch standing aside, and left the place after speaking.

Lin Ju was held in Ah Zheng's arms and listened to the whole process. She meowed at Ah Zheng, boy, that person just now was obviously a liar, aren't you very smart, why did you get fooled by just saying a few words.

Ah Zheng naturally couldn't understand the meowing of the civet cat in his arms, so he stroked the fur on the cat's back twice to comfort him, and then returned to the bedroom.

He rummaged around in the dark compartment of the couch, took out a brand new cloth bag, untied it, took out an old matchbox from inside, and fell silent while holding the matchbox in his hand.

Lin Ju stretched out her cat's paw and pushed the matchbox curiously. Ah Zheng held the matchbox tightly in his hand, and couldn't move it no matter how hard she pushed.She remembered that this match was something she had given to Zai Zai a long time ago, why did Zai Zai still keep it.

Ah Zheng brought the mischievous little civet cat to the other hand, and lightly tapped the cat's head: "Little guy, this is a gift from a very important person, and I can't let you play with it."

Ah Zheng gently pushed the matchbox away, took out a good match from inside, and polished it up. A bright orange flame burst out quickly, and Ah Zheng closed his eyes.

"Meow~" Lin Ju jumped into Ah Zheng's arms, and rubbed his face with his hairy claws, son, what are you doing?

Ah Zheng opened his eyes, the match in his hand had already been extinguished, and there was nothing in front of his eyes except a little civet cat.

"Liar." Ah Zheng said softly.

Then he tidied up the box of matches, put them back into the cloth bag, and put the cloth bag back into the dark compartment.As for the burnt match, he put it in another small wooden box.Lin Ju poked her probe curiously, and found that there were already three matches inside, and she didn't know why Zaizai put away these matchsticks, it was so strange.

As the king of Qin, Ah Zheng didn't let himself fall into this kind of emotion all the time. He packed up his things, carried the cat back to the study, took out a stack of papers from the bookshelf, and wrote down his next plan.

Lin Ju looked at it, yawned, and fell asleep in Ah Zheng's arms.

When Ah Zheng finished writing the plan and put down his pen, he saw the civet cat already asleep in his arms, and shook his head helplessly.

The civil strife in the Chu State has been going on for a year. Whether it is the orthodox Chu King Han, Li Yuan and the Queen Mother, or the son of the son and the Xiang family, they are all exhausted, but the soldiers of the son are strong and strong. With the help of Shang Xiang, he finally entered Shouchun, beheaded Chu King Han, Li Yuan and the Queen Mother, and sat on the throne of Chu King.

He was planning to reward his meritorious service, and reward the brave warriors who had been following him. The border was in an emergency, and General Qin Wang Jian, Li Xin and others led the army to attack Chu.

The son, who has not yet officially held the enthronement ceremony, went mad in the Shouchun Palace. He looked at the envoy of the Qin State in front of him: "Why did the State of Qin suddenly attack the State of Chu? Didn't you agree to help me become King of Chu?" Is it? Is it a lie to provide food, grass and weapons for the widow all the time?"

The envoy of Qin State said: "Your Majesty, I have been kept in the dark. Qin and Chu have always been on good terms. Could it be that there are treacherous ministers in Qin State who have slandered and made my king suddenly order to attack Chu State?"

Young Master Cheng Chu said anxiously: "Yes, yes, yes, there must be a villain who provoked the relationship between Qin and Chu. You should go back to the country and explain it to the King of Qin. As long as he is willing to retreat, I am willing to sacrifice ten cities as a reward." Gift."

The envoy of Qin State lowered his head, hid the smile on his face, and said in his mouth: "Please rest assured, King Chu, I will definitely bring the words to you."

After the envoys of the Qin State returned to the country, they really persuaded Qin Wangzheng, and the Qin State quickly accepted the ten cities offered by the State of Chu, and then continued to attack the State of Chu.

No one knows about the crazy posture of young master Xiangchu in the Shouchun Palace.

At this time, the Chu State had exhausted its troops during the civil strife of the previous year. Facing the menacing Qin army, it was defeated for a while.Although the Chu army fought hard, three months later the Qin army captured Shouchun, the capital of Chu, and captured the newly appointed king of Chu, Xiangchu.

So far, there is only one Qi country left among the six countries of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi, and Qi finally began to panic.

After Ah Zheng received the news that the capital of Chu was broken, although he was happy in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, because the Empress Dowager Xia was not well.

The Empress Dowager Xia had been ill once before, and she didn't get better after being diagnosed and treated by the doctor, so she dragged on until now.Now that she was about to leave eventually, Ah Zheng spent the past few days staying by Empress Dowager Xia's bed except for necessary official duties.

For this frail old man, Ah Zheng has always respected her very much.She is a very loving elder, compared to the Empress Dowager Huayang, she has never had a sense of presence in the palace, never makes trouble, and always respects all the decisions of her grandson.The only thing he did for his own people was to send Xia Wuqie to Ah Zheng's side.

The Empress Dowager Xia's breathing was extremely weak at this time, she stretched out her wrinkled and skinny hands to Ah Zheng, and Ah Zheng stepped forward to hold the hand of the eldest mother.

Empress Dowager Xia showed a weak smile on her face: "Zheng'er, you are now firmly seated as the King of Qin... Qin's army is swaying abroad, and the Qin Kingdom will surely bring peace to the world... Cough cough..." She took a long breath before continuing , "It's just that there is no one who agrees with you around you... Zheng'er, the eldest mother is only worried about you... You have to take good care of yourself..."

Ah Zheng nodded, and forced a smile on the Empress Dowager Xia: "Grandson will take good care of himself, please rest assured."

Hearing these words, Empress Dowager Xia's muddy eyes brought a slight smile, and she slowly closed them.

Empress Dowager Xia passed away.

Ah Zheng held a funeral for his grandmother, ordered the whole country to mourn, and prohibited banquets, entertainment, singing and dancing.

However, the death of Empress Dowager Xia did not stop Qin Jun from attacking. After the Chu capital Shouchun City was broken, Qin Jun turned his attention to Qi State again.

Qi State used to be the most powerful country among several major vassal states, but after several civil strife, Qi State has been inferior to one generation after another. Today's Qi Wangjian, although he is the king of Qi State in name, actually holds the power of Qi State In the hands of his mother, the Queen Mother.The Empress Dowager is cautious and has good relations with all countries, especially Qin. When Qin is busy destroying the other five countries, she is alone, so that Qi can stay away from disputes.

It's a pity that now the five countries are all destroyed, and only Qi is left.

A year later, General Wang Jian captured Qi Wangjian, and Qi fell.

Since Qin State destroyed South Korea, in just six years, all six countries were destroyed, leaving only one Qin State in the world.

There were two more matchsticks in Ah Zheng's box.The Zhaixing Pavilion has been built, but Xu Fu's head has fallen to the ground. Two years have passed, and Xu Fu has not conjured a orange for him.

He put away the box, ordered people to bring in the washing things, put on the court clothes he used when he was crowned, and walked into the hall where the court meeting was held.

Today is the first Qin Dynasty meeting after the fall of the Six Kingdoms.

Ah Zheng sat on the throne of King Qin, looking down at the ministers and ministers in the court.He slowly opened his mouth and said: "Now that the six kingdoms are dead and the world is settled, if the name does not change, it will not be considered a success and will be passed on to future generations. I ordered you to discuss a new emperor title, what have you been thinking these days? "

Xiangbang Wang Wan said: "These days, I have discussed with Feng Yushi, Li Tingwei and others. The king will sweep the Liuhe, pacify the world, and all the counties and counties will be unified. .In ancient times, there were three emperors, the emperor of heaven, the emperor of earth, and the emperor of Thailand. Among them, the emperor of Thailand was the most expensive. The ministers risked their lives to offer their titles, and the king should be called the "emperor of Thailand."

Yingzheng pondered for a moment, then said: "It's not right, remove the word 'Tai', add the word 'Emperor', and adopt the ancient title of 'Emperor', I shall call it 'Emperor'."

Feng Jie said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so he should be different from the feudal lords. The orders you give are 'systems', and the orders you give are 'edicts'. The Son of Heaven calls himself 'Zhen'. Please take a look."

"Yes." Yingzheng nodded, "I heard that in the ancient times there were no posthumous titles, and there were titles in the Middle Ages. After death, the posthumous titles were chosen based on their words and deeds. If things go on like this, sons will judge their fathers, ministers will judge their rulers, and the world will be in chaos. Starting today , abolish posthumous posthumous law, I will be the first emperor, and use counting to call future generations, the second generation, the third generation, and even the ten thousand generations, without end."

The author has something to say:

Some dialogues between monarchs and ministers refer to "Historical Records: The Chronicle of Qin Shihuang"

From this chapter onwards, the titles of Ying Zheng and Ah Zheng will appear at the same time.

1. Although Azheng himself didn't want the title of Emperor Tai, when he conferred the title of his father and other people, he conferred the title of King Zhuang Xiang as "Emperor Taishang". (laughing)

2. Because Qin Shihuang does not allow others to use his posthumous title to evaluate him after his death, among so many emperors in China, only three emperors do not have a posthumous title, one is Qin Shihuang, the other is Qin II Hu Hai, and one Puyi.
