The Immortal Emperor is so fertile

Under Mangshan Mountain, on the square.

The ground paved with spiritual stone fragments is smooth and neat, and many magic arrays such as Huiling, Quchen, and Jingxin are engraved on it.

In the past, this was the waiting place for the ministers to wait for the opening of the Afang Palace when the grand court meeting was held.

But today, all the people standing in the square are civilians!

They are wearing bright and beautiful clothes or patched clothes. Some are tall, some are short, some are fat, some are thin, and their faces are different, but the same is the solemn expression and red eyes.

In the open space in front of them, thousands of coffins are neatly placed.

There are dead Qin soldiers, their sons, husbands, and fathers!

When the first ray of sunlight fell, the breeze blew over the swaying spirit flags, and the square was suddenly filled with suppressed sobs, which gradually turned into crying, and then turned into heart-wrenching cries!

Fathers cry for their sons, wives cry for their husbands, and sons suffer for their fathers.

The sound is sad, like the blood of cuckoos.

The soldiers who were maintaining order around them also looked mournful. Although their mission was to prohibit the people from making loud noises and to maintain the solemnity of the ceremony, they really couldn't bear to disturb those sad people in this situation.

Time passed by minute by minute.

When the sun rose to the middle of the sky and the earth was bright, the sound of bells and drums rang out from Mangshan Mountain.

Then, thousands of gates on the top of the mountain opened one after another.

At the main entrance of the Afang Palace, two teams of warriors wearing black armor and holding long spears formed a corridor with their backs facing each other and shouted in unison.

"Warning——"

The next second, Qin Tian, ​​wearing armor of the same color, rode out of the palace gate on a dragon horse.

The dragon horse took a step forward, and a cloud rose under its feet. Just like that, one step and one cloud, it carried Qin Tian from the Afang Palace on the top of the mountain, seemingly slowly but actually quickly and steadily to the square at the foot of the mountain.

Qin Tian's face was solemn.

He jumped off his horse, took the flag that the waiter had prepared long ago, and slowly covered the corpse of a Qin soldier who died in the battle under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Then, the second, the third...

Until every coffin was covered with a flag.

That was the battle flag of the Qin army!

The national flag of the Qin State!

The dead soldiers were covered with the national flag by the monarch Qin Tian himself. It was the country's respect for those who died for the country and the comfort to the families of the dead!

The wailing became louder and louder.

Until Qin Tian stood on the temporary high platform, tens of thousands of soldiers standing around the square shouted in unison.

"Your Excellency, please come to the stage and bow!"

...

"Bow!"

The voice was loud and resounded throughout the city.

The soldiers wearing armor and holding long halberds and spears knelt on one knee, and the Qin people on the square and the streets knelt on their legs, but they looked up at Qin Tian standing on the high platform in a daze.

This was the first time many people saw what Qin Tian looked like.

Today, Qin Tian wore a fitted battle armor, a helmet on his head, and a golden dragon with bared fangs and claws embroidered on his cloak behind him. The cloak fluttered in the wind, and the golden dragon coiled and twisted, as if it had come alive.

After the square fell silent, Qin Tian's eyes swept across the audience.

Everyone saw a pair of sharp and bright eyes!

Although it was just a fleeting glance, it was enough to make the civilian soldiers who met Qin Tian's eyes lower their heads involuntarily.

This was not because Qin Tian was handsome and heroic, so that they felt ashamed of themselves, but because they subconsciously felt that it was disrespectful to look at Qin Tian, ​​a lord!

Qin Tian began his speech.

"There are many sayings circulating in Xianyang recently, saying that the Qin people are divided into old Qin people and new Qin people. The old Qin people are superior to the new Qin people and are the masters of the new Qin people. It is not worth it for the old Qin people to die in order to protect the new Qin people!"

"This is not true!"

"Qin people are Qin people!"

"Even if they come from different states and different races, since they have come to Qin, they are Qin people! The Qin army should fight to protect the Qin people!"

"Fighting for protection will result in sacrifices, and deaths are common..."

"But we think that the Qin people behind us will not be humiliated , all the parents of the Qin people can enjoy their old age, and their children can grow up safely. We died to protect the Qin people, and it is a worthy death! "

"In the future, in the Qin army, in the Qin State, no matter who dies, whether it is a farmer, a soldier, or an official, as long as he has made contributions and sacrifices to protect the Qin, we will bury them like today, and let them be buried with the flag of the Qin..."

"Use this method to express our grief and unite the will of the Qin people..."

...

After Qin Tian finished speaking, the huge Xianyang City was silent, and a pin drop could be heard.

But soon, heavy breathing echoed in the crowd like thunder.

I don't know who took the lead, and a low and heavy shout came from the crowd.

"Long live the Great Qin!"

"Long live the Marquis of Qin!"

From a hundred steps to a thousand steps, from a thousand steps to ten miles, along the road from Mangshan Mountain to the Suzaku Gate in the south, tens of thousands of Qin people, like spreading voices, from west to east, from south to north, all began to shout the same words.

"Long live the Great Qin!"

"Long live the Marquis of Qin!"

...

Tens of thousands of mouths shouted loudly, tens of thousands of arms waved vigorously, tens of thousands of eyes stared at Qin Tian on the high platform. In their sight, Qin Tian's expression was solemn, without a smile or frown, and there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes, as if he was enjoying it, and as if he had long been accustomed to or even tired of the cheers...

Zhou Liang, Han Yang, Lin Zhao, Li Qi and others also shouted a few times. When they looked at each other, they saw the same idea in each other's eyes.

The people's hearts can be used!

Then, Zhou Liang walked up to the high platform and read aloud the long-written manifesto.

Declare war on the State of Handancheng!

For a time, the crowd was indignant.

After all, a considerable number of those who died in the war with the national flag before died in the battle with the "thieves" of Handancheng State!

Their families have long been thinking about revenge!

And those people who call themselves "old Qin people" cheered and jumped for joy.

There is no other reason. The Qin law records merits by beheading, and the people are happy to hear about the war, like hungry wolves seeing meat!

But to their surprise, after the recitation of the manifesto, Zhou Liang did not issue an edict to expand the army!

They were anxious!

If they don't join the army, how can they achieve class leap?

In the crowd, undercurrents suddenly surged.

After the entire "national sacrifice" was over, tens of thousands of people still did not disperse. They stood on the square and began to shout loudly towards the high Afang Palace.

"My Lord! We are willing to fight the thieves to the death!"

"My Lord! Please allow us to serve the country!"

...

The voices were getting louder and louder.

The petitioning people shouted until they were hoarse, and they were just short of writing blood letters...

But the gates of the Afang Palace were always closed, and even the government offices were closed, and no one responded.

Or rather, there was.

For example, in Han Yang's Sikou Mansion, a large number of Tiqi wearing brocade robes rubbed their hands excitedly, waiting for Han Yang's order to go and arrest people!

Well, the new Qin law prohibits illegal gatherings...
