Chapter 033: A.D. Chronology
Hu Hai, Li Si, Zhao Gao and Gao chased the golden dragon out of the hall and quickly disappeared. Soon after the ancestral dragon left, suddenly the clear sky thundered, and a huge fireball fell from the sky, hitting a side hall on the west side of Afang Palace, and the house burned in an instant, and thick smoke rose everywhere.
After the first emperor unified the world, he requisitioned a large number of laborers, and almost cut down all the precious ancient trees in the Bashu area, which were used to build the Afang Palace complex, which was ready to accommodate thousands of beautiful women snatched from the Six Kings' Palace.
The project of Afang Palace is huge, and when the first emperor was in power, only the front hall was built. A room east and west 500 steps, north and south fifty zhang, can sit on 10,000 people, can build five zhang flag, Zhou Chi for the pavilion road, from His Royal Highness straight to the South Mountain, the top of the table South Mountain to the que, for the double road, from the A Fang to Wei, belong to Xianyang (the front hall of the A Fang Palace covers an area of about 800 acres, equivalent to the area of 90 standard football fields).
The magnet gate is one of the gates of Qin Afang Palace. The building of Qin Afang Palace uses a magnet as the door, one is to prevent the assassins, and the iron absorption effect of the magnet is used to make the hidden armor and the blade unable to pass through when entering, so as to protect the safety of the emperor. The second is to show the "Four Yi Dynasty" the miraculous effect of the front hall of Qin Afang Palace, which makes them frightened.
However, the First Emperor didn't have much interest in these second-hand goods at all, and he had the Great Qin in his heart. Because he doted on his youngest son Hu Hai too much, he deliberately built a side hall, which was only separated by a wall from Afang Palace, so that he could study quietly in it and learn the art of war and law.
I don't know that under the "correct guidance" of the teacher Zhao Gao, the ability to calculate others has grown a lot, and the ability to eat, drink, have fun, and pick up girls has also grown a lot, and the ability to govern the country has not grown at all.
As long as the First Emperor toured, Hu Hai would climb over the wall and fool around with those hungry and thirsty beauties of the Six Kingdoms, of course, all of which were hidden from the First Emperor.
But there is no impermeable wall in the world, Shangqing Meng Yi and Zuo Prime Minister Feng Qujian each participated in a copy, saying that Zhao Gao's morality was corrupt and unworthy of being Hu Hai's teacher, and asked the first emperor to severely punish Zhao Gao.
On the night when the fold was delivered, the First Emperor received urgent information from the Lingnan Army, and there were too many folds to review, and he took a nap for half an hour at two o'clock in the morning.
When Zhao Gao was tidying up the imperial study, he found the two volumes of impeachment against him, and couldn't help but gasp: "Fortunately, I found out, otherwise I don't know what happened if the head fell to the ground......"
Therefore, Zhao Gao secretly remembered the names of Meng Yi and Feng Quji. In order to continue to mix in the Qin court, and his "imperial dream" can be realized, Zhao Gao hid the song fold and brought it back to his home, he was waiting for the opportunity.
Now that the side hall is on fire, Zhao Gao hopes that it will be completely burned down, and there are many unknown secrets hidden in it. However, Li Sicheng sincerely asked for the dispatch of men and horses to put out the fire.
"Old Prime Minister, no need. The old does not go, the new does not come. Spread my will, draw a separation zone around the side hall, and let it burn, as long as Mars does not fly to Afang Palace. Hu Hai was very calm.
"Your Majesty, the side hall is only less than 20 meters away, and now the wind is fast, and if you don't save it, you may be affected by the pond fish." Lees asked to go again.
"Old Prime Minister, I said that if you don't need to save it, you don't need to save it, you have to go by yourself, and I won't stop you. This will make me and Zhongshu order the adults to go out of the city to welcome the coffin of the emperor into the city! Hu Hai hurriedly took Zhao Gao away.

"Brother Xiye, where is Kunlun Mountain?" Zhao Xianglan asked.
"Miss Zhao, are you testing me?" Nishino smiled.
"The slave family really doesn't know."
"Okay, let me briefly talk about the history of Kunlun Mountain." Nishino lifted the screen.
Kunlun Mountain has a prominent position as the "ancestor of ten thousand mountains" in the cultural history of the Chinese nation, is China's first sacred mountain, where the hundred gods are located, because of its towering and straight, it has become a natural barrier between ancient China and the west, and is considered by the ancient Chinese to be the edge of the world.
Ancient mythology believed that there was a fairy "Queen Mother of the West" living in Kunlun Mountain, with a human head and a leopard body, served by two blue birds. Later legends matched the Queen Mother of the West with an "Eastern Prince" and evolved into the prototype of the Jade Emperor.
The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" mentions dozens of mountains, and Kunlun Mountain is the crown. As the capital of the Emperor of Heaven, it was naturally ruled by the Emperor of Heaven. It is said that this Emperor of Heaven is the Yellow Emperor. The god sent by the Yellow Emperor to manage Kunlun Mountain is called Lu Wu, who is also half-human and half-beast, with a human face, a tiger body and tiger claws, and nine tails.
The main character on Kunlun Mountain in the folk myth of the "Classic of the West Mountains" is King Mu, who rides an eight-horse carriage to meet the Queen Mother of the West for love. This story is not a myth, but a historical fact.
During the Western Jin Dynasty, someone found a batch of ancient slips in an ancient tomb of the Warring States Period, and one of the ancient slips recorded the story of a king of the Western Zhou Dynasty who traveled to the west.
"Which dynasty is the Western Jin Dynasty?" Zhao Xianglan didn't know the dynasty behind him at all.
"Hey, I forgot to tell you. The Western Jin Dynasty was a dynasty established by Sima Yan, more than 500 years after the Qin Dynasty. ”
"Have you been under the Qin Dynasty for the past five hundred years?"
"No, no, no, there are the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, and then the Western Jin Dynasty."
"Then there is still the Eastern Jin Dynasty?"
"Yes. Don't go too far, listen to me finish the story just now, and then say hello? ”
"yes, okay." Zhao Xianglan nodded.
This story says that during the heyday of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a handsome emperor King Mu who wanted to travel the world. He sat in a chariot drawn by eight horses, with a team of men and horses, and marched eastward along Weishui, to Mengjin, crossed the Yellow River, and then, along the western foot of Taihang Mountain, advanced northward, to the foot of Yin Mountain, and then traveled long distances to the west, to Kunlun Mountain, and then walked thousands of miles westward, to a country with beautiful scenery, that is, the country of the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West, with her fluffy hairstyle and a sagging leopard-tail-style costume, feasted on King Mu in Yaochi. King Mu presented a large number of Central Plains specialties and brocade silk to the Queen Mother of the West, and the Queen Mother of the West gave King Mu a variety of local treasures, and invited King Mu to visit the mountains and rivers in her country.
King Mu inscribed "The Mountain of the Queen Mother of the West" and planted a locust tree as a souvenir. At the time of parting, the Queen Mother of the West set up a banquet to see her off, and composed a song "I wish you a long life, may you come again", expressing her attachment to Mu Ren.
King Mu of Zhou was the fifth king of the Western Zhou Dynasty after King Wen of Zhou destroyed the Shang, surnamed Ji Mingman, that is, located in 976 BC, died in 922 BC, reigned for 55 years, and died at the age of 105. ”
"Xiye Hero, since the Western Zhou Dynasty, hasn't the imperial chronology been adopted, how come there is a common era method, and what does BC mean?"
"Hey, you have a lot of questions. The chronology is the Western calendar, which was created in 532 AD by an Italian monk named Jonisi. Jonissi called for the Christian nations to be counted from the year of Christ's birth, which should be the first year of the Common Era.
Most Western countries are Christian, and Jonisi's call was answered. The chronology actually began in 533, not the year of Christ's birth. By 1400, this dating method was commonly used in these countries. ”
"Brother Nishino, I still don't understand. Are Western countries bounded by the Kunlun Mountains? ”
"It can be understood that way."
"And who is Christ?"
"I'll take you through the future when I have the chance, and you'll understand when you go to the church...... Where did I just go? ”
"Speaking of King Zhou Mu."
"Oh. During the reign of Zhou Muzheng, the western part of the Western Zhou Dynasty was often raided by some nomadic tribes. In order to defend the western frontier, King Mu of Zhou led his army to the west twice, defeated the tribes of Xirong, captured five tribal leaders, and opened the road to the Western Regions. King Mu of Zhou liked to travel, and after the opening of the Western Regions, he began a mighty journey to the west in 964 BC. According to historical records, King Mu of Zhou traveled a total of 12,100 miles from Hojing to the state of the Queen Mother of the West. ”
"With you future people, I have gained a lot of knowledge, little girl. Brother Xiye, did Hu Hai become the emperor later? ”
"It's better not to talk about this."
"But I'd love to know."
"Meng Tian is my former and former life, and after returning from Jiuyuan, he was locked up. Zhao Gao is your father, who has always had an enmity with the Meng family, and has mastered the power of the country, so he is bent on getting rid of the people of the Meng family. So he took the opportunity to say to Hu Hai that my younger brother Meng Yi also supported Fusu (Jiuxiong's former life), and slandered His Majesty in front of the first emperor many times, and Zhao Gao was not in the same camp, so he must not stay. ”
"Hu Hai is a fool."
"No, Hu Hai was very angry when he heard this, and put Meng Yi in prison."
"Another loyal minister has been framed, my father is not human."
"Beasts are inferior. After Meng Yi's death, Zhao Gao provoked Hu Hai again, and then sent an envoy to kill Meng Tian. Meng Tian knew that he must die, and hoped that the envoy could help him convey a few words to the emperor. ”
"At that time, Meng Tian still had illusions, foolish loyalty."
Nishino simply sat down on the dragon chair: "At that time, it would be nice if I had reversed, knowing that coming back would be a death." ”
"Big brother, you can't sit on the dragon chair casually, come down-"
"Miss Xianglan, your father has also sat on this dragon chair, but he can't sit steadily......"
"Is there such a thing?"
"Hmm. Let me give you a picture of the situation before I committed suicide in Yangzhou Prison-" Xiye took out a blue bead from his hand, and luck made it float above the main hall, Zhao Xianglan was so surprised that she couldn't speak......
The prince Fusu, who was in his early thirties, was too benevolent and lacked experience in political struggle, and was unwilling to kill Hu Hai, so he committed suicide in Shangjun. Meng Tian knew that there was fraud in it, so he insisted on not adjudicating himself and vigorously asked for a retrial.
The envoy detained Meng Tian and handed him over to the officials, and sent Li Si and others to replace Meng Tian in charge of the army and imprison Meng Tian in Yangzhou.
