Each generation of emperors has its own era name, for example, Zhou Yin's era name is "Zhenyuan".

The chronology of the history books is used in conjunction with the astrological chronology and the chronological year, corresponding to the historians, in fact, the chronological year of the astrological year is sufficient, but the people still generally use the chronological year.

But when the emperor first ascended the throne, he had to continue to use the name of the previous emperor until the end of that year, and when the new year came, he would have his own era name.

For example, Zhou Qing's era name is "Tianji", he ascended the throne in the summer, and in the heavy snow of that winter, the imperial capital was lit up, and he announced the beginning of his "Tianji" year to his ministers. As a result, the year in any Stream year must have only one year name.

The emperor's era name was given by himself, and there was no need to consult the ministers. For example, Zhou Yin's era name is undoubtedly a random one he gave according to his battle flag, he is indeed such a hanger, and the era name of the first emperor is considered to have a lot to do with a woman called "Qingxue".

There was no shortage of wayward emperors, such as Emperor Chun of Zhou, who very much wanted to set his year name as "Blossom", because he was a famous master of floral art, and the black poppy that he had cultivated for nine years finally bloomed in the year of his accession, he felt that this was his greatest achievement and his own auspicious omen, and insisted that the first year of the bloom of the flower and the second year of the bloom of the flower would be used in the future.

The royal ministers melancholy imagined that this would bring the imperial dynasty to the ground, and that it would be difficult for the era name to be written in an edict and read before the gentiles. The result of the tug-of-war between Emperor Zhou Chun and the ministers was that the era name was replaced with "Tianyi", and the ministers reluctantly agreed, although it still seemed too soft, but finally had a little shining momentum.

The emperor also had a nickname, which he received after his death, based on his life's deeds and the evaluation of him by his courtiers. Unlike the era name, the emperor cannot participate in the evaluation. The nickname could be one or two characters, and the courtiers depicted the life of the deceased emperor according to the ancient meaning of these words. For example, "Emperor Zhou Lie" is not as good as "Emperor Wu of Zhou" in terms of law, because the law says "martial arts but not martyrdom", that is, advocating martial arts but not succeeding.

Therefore, Zhou Qing's nickname is not bad, but it is also said that whenever the word "wu" is used, it has already shown that the emperor attaches great importance to martial arts and light literature, which is a clear praise and a secret depreciation. But Zhou Qing didn't care anyway, first of all, because of his battle flag, he was forever remembered by future generations as the "Qingping Emperor", and secondly, when this nickname was written on the spiritual throne and held into the Taimiao, he was undoubtedly dead.

Tian Yuan has twelve gates, starting from due north, in the order of Gu Xuan, Dark Moon, Split Chapter, Filling, Huanhua, Yu Fei, Sun, Bright Moon, Miro, Yinchi, Suizheng, and Ganbai.

The city is square, with three gates on each side, which is the regulation of the "Examination of the Gongji", but in the construction of Tianyuan, the corresponding law of the twelve stars was used for the first time. This phenomenon has been studied in depth in the "Thunder Eye Notes" by the craftsman Wang Luo'e, who pointed out that the star wheel of the Yuan Ji Dao was the astronomical system of the Donglu people, but it had been absorbed by the Chinese people and had a profound impact on the construction of the city.

These twelve city gates do not simply correspond to the star wheel diagram, but also have their own corresponding principles in urban design. The Three Gates of the South The Sun Gate is the main gate of Tian Yuan, facing the Southern Shanhaiguan, it is the tallest and majestic one of the twelve city gates, with an arrow tower as high as ten zhang and a semi-circular urn city, which is the only gate of Tian Yuan with an urn city.

There is a plaque on the door, the existing three big characters of the Sun Gate are the handwriting of the first emperor Zhou Yin, the font is strong and vigorous, the pen force is three points into the wood, Zhou Yin is not famous for calligraphy, these three words are rare surviving ink treasures. Although some literati said that these three words are full of murderous atmosphere, but in the whole Zhou Dynasty, there is no one who enters the Sun Gate and does not marvel at these three words. Ben Sun Gate Arrow Tower has two, hard rest mountain, after the Sun Gate is advanced to the north, change to triple top, the momentum is more majestic.

Five miles west of the Sun Gate, it is the Bright Moon Gate. The lines of Mingyuemen are softer, and the shape of the Shang and Zhou dynasties is the same. Shang Dynasty has the moon Ji platform on the bright moon gate, there is a moon observation instrument, specially to observe the moon phase, the structure is exquisite, it is said that it is designed by Guo Qiwei, after the Zhou Dynasty moved the bright moon gate, this platform can not be rebuilt, there is a long door monk Wang, the name can not be examined, the moon Ji Tai repair map, is rebuilt.

There is the Bright Moon Altar in the Bright Moon Gate, which was built for the Zhou Dynasty, and the men and women of Huaichun go to worship and worship in order to seek a good couple. Five miles east of the Sun Gate, it is the Yu Fei Gate. The lines of Yu Fei Gate are straight, and the gate is red paint, which is wide and second only to the sun and filling. The army went out to fight, and there were many Yu Feimen, taking the meaning of ambition.

There is a poem: "General Zhou Yu marched to tears, and rode out of Yu Fei by thousands of rides." "It's an old thing. There is a nursery rhyme among the people: "Yin Chi water, Gu Xuan is mourned, and Yu Fei is a soldier to fill the business." "It's about this custom as well.

The emperor has an extremely large harem system, according to the rules of the marriage of the Son of Heaven, the so-called "Son of Heaven marries nine daughters", the emperor's wedding will marry nine wives at one time, composed of three wives, each wife will have two companions, also regarded as the emperor's wife. However, it is a pity that most emperors have not yet ascended the throne when they first get married, so they cannot enjoy the grand ceremony of "marrying nine daughters in one marriage".

The harem of the Zhou Dynasty presided over the affairs of the harem with the queen, and the queen set up the imperial concubine and the virtuous concubine to assist the queen respectively, and set up six concubines, including Concubine Xian, Concubine Gong, Concubine Chen, Concubine Kang, Concubine Zhuang, and Concubine Yu, as well as Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, and Chongyuan nine concubines, and also set up twelve Jieyu, Jieyu has beauty, talent, and love, and the lowest is called Cainu.

"Concubine" refers to the children born to the main wife, but the emperor's wife is not only one but three, namely "Empress", "Imperial Concubine" and "De Guifei", and the other wives are considered concubines, and the children born are "concubines", and their status is one level lower. However, if the mother is promoted to a wife, the child can also become a concubine naturally. Therefore, the mother and the child are one in terms of status, and the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty often love their mothers deeply, but their feelings for their fathers are much weaker.

There was no upper limit to the number of wives of the emperor, and for most emperors, they would select a number of women to join the court each year after their accession to the throne and be included in the queue of their wives. In fact, the women of the entire harem, most of whom served the emperor and his concubines, had not been formally married, but they were also the objects of the emperor's pleasure at any time. A maid with no status was recorded in a register if she was fortunate to be sent by the emperor, and if she gave birth to a child, the emperor had to give her a title. Therefore, for the huge number of maids in the harem, how to invite favor so that the emperor can be happy with himself, and even give birth to a prince by luck, is the biggest goal of life.

Among the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty, there were many emperors who were regarded by later generations as "lewd and corrupt", among which Emperor Zhou Hui was the most outrageous, and Emperor Zhou Hui pioneered the means of "sheep cart" and "buckle inscription". In order to gain the favor of this emperor, the concubines also racked their brains to come up with various means to cater to him.

But these were only a few examples, and for most emperors, a large army of wives was also a huge burden. Because his wives are limited to their origins and family backgrounds, they may not be beautiful women. The emperor's wife is either from a wealthy family in the Eastern Continent, or a princess of a foreign race, and the commoners will never consider it. Even those harem maids, who received the title because they were pregnant with the prince, were difficult to be promoted to full wives. And the emperor took turns to spend the night in the sleeping chambers of his wives, which was seen as one of his responsibilities. The process of giving birth to him and his wives is seen as having a great symbolic significance, symbolizing the earth's nurturing capacity and even the amount of the autumn harvest. It was only after he had completed this mission that he would be able to bring about the beautiful woman he liked, but he still had to rush back to his wife's dormitory next month to fulfill his duties. The families of the wives are often the most important families for the rule, and the emperor will even be quietly informed of the heads of these big families if they are close enough to these wives in their private life. The news would then be fed back to the chief of the inner prison, who would then persuade the emperor to "respect" the wives and spend more time on the women they married through grand ceremonies. This made generations of emperors distressed. In order to succeed in his prostitution, Emperor Zhou Hui even did not hesitate to send the inner eunuch to quietly import young and beautiful men into the palace to provide his wives with lewd pleasures, so as to block the mouths of the wives.

It can be said that in order to break this strong control over the emperor's private life, successive emperors fought hard. Emperor Zhou Yi is a very famous and admired case, he ascended the throne at a young age, has not yet married, and likes girls from poor families. However, due to the law, he must marry the daughter of the family as his wife, although he can include his beloved in the harem, but helping her to become a wife is something that the emperor's majesty cannot do. After much thought, Emperor Zhou Yi made what seemed unthinkable to his ministers, and he launched a war against the Hokuriku, making his beloved father, a small merchant who sold wine, a general of the army. And this small merchant undoubtedly did not have the ability to lead the mixed army of the Yulin Heavenly Army and the Princes' Army, at this time, Emperor Zhou Yi announced that he would go to the front line to boost morale.

In the end, the local war ended with the victory of the Zhou army, and the actual commander was Emperor Zhou Yi himself, who rode a war horse in iron armor and led the charge forward, while the nominal leading general, or the emperor's future father-in-law, only held the command flag, sitting on the highest place, looking left and right, twisting and uneasy.

After Emperor Zhou Yi returned to the imperial capital, he immediately named the little merchant who "returned triumphantly" as a marquis, and decreed that he would marry his daughter as the queen on the same day, and he lived a happy life ever since. But such a huge project also shows that the emperor is in fact a person who is bound by all kinds of laws, and there is far from much freedom to speak of.

The Zhou Dynasty was not sufficient, and the royal domain under its control was only 17 counties, which were trapped by the princes outside and restricted by the ministers inside, and the army was kept within 40,000 people all year round, and the number was not as large as the princes such as Jin, Chu, and Tang.

In the middle of the Zhou Dynasty, various forces competed for the court, the leadership of the army changed hands repeatedly, and those in power often set up official ranks at will according to their own needs, rewarding their cronies, and the military system was chaotic, and it was not until the time of Emperor Ren of Zhou that the military system tended to be stable.

In the era of the minister, the great Sima was in charge of military affairs and had great power, and the emperor's military orders had to be countersigned by the great Sima before they could be forwarded to the whole army. In order to restore the authority of the imperial family, Emperor Wen of Zhou first set about recovering the military power into the hands of the imperial family. Emperor Wen of Zhou set up a platform in the East Palace to worship the prince as a general, taking the meaning of "the ancient emperor general called the general", his position is above the great Sima, and the military order was directly issued in the name of the general above the prince, without the hands of the great Sima, the military power was transferred to the hands of the East Palace generals composed of the prince's subordinates.

The position of the great Sima is limited to presiding over the evaluation of the merits of the military attaché, and at the end of the year, he will be rewarded and punished by the most important in his palace, and even then he is often dismissed because of minor mistakes, and in the 30 years of the revision of the text, there have been more than 20 people who have served as the great Sima, and the elder is only three years, and the short one is only a few months. After Emperor Zhou Ren promoted Sima to Taibao, even the personnel power of the army was returned to the cardinal province, and the forbidden army was completely in the hands of the emperor.

The forbidden army stationed in the royal domain was divided into two armies, internal and external. The foreign army was the Yulin Heavenly Army, which was concentrated in the north of Tianyuan City. The internal army was stationed in Tianyuan City, which belonged to Jinwuwei and Guanglu Temple.

The Habayashi Heavenly Army consisted of about 30,000 soldiers, all of whom were recruited from the Imperial Domain, and its supreme command organ was the shogunate. In the early years of Xiuwen, Emperor Wen of Zhou worshiped the prince as the general to lead the Yulin Heavenly Army, and it was inconvenient for the prince to go out of the city to experience military affairs, so the shogunate of the temporary government built by the tent when the forbidden army went out to fight was long-term and fixed, and the first-level command organ was formally fixed, and his cronies were sent to take charge of the army on behalf of the prince as the prince's staff. After Emperor Zhou Ren ascended the throne, he learned the lessons of the East Palace Rebellion, no longer took charge of the army with the prince, abolished the East Palace General, and changed the shogunate to the supreme command of the Yulin Heavenly Army.

Under the shogunate, it was divided into three levels: department, battalion, and team, which were supervised by Sima, commander, and team commander;

The strength of the Jinwu Guard is about 5,000 people, which is equivalent to a part of the Yulin Heavenly Army, with the servant shooting as the main officer, "in charge of the law of the day and night patrol of the capital, in order to enforce the law of non-violation, and in charge of the opening and closing of the twelve doors of the Apocalypse", the soldiers are called guards, and their status is above the ordinary soldiers of the Yulin Heavenly Army. When the emperor went out on patrol, Jin Wuwei was the forerunner, and the honor guard was very majestic and strong, which was envied by the people of the time.

Most of the children of the Tianyuan Gongqing and the Donglu family sought to obtain the Jinwuwei guards as the rank of advancement, which was nothing more than that the Jinwuwei service was relatively easy, and the salary and treatment were far more generous than those of the Yulin Heavenly Army. There are so many "Tianhuang nobles" in Jin Wuwei, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined. These aristocratic concubines are often arrogant and arrogant, bent on relying on military exploits to gain fame and gain a status that they cannot get in the family, and can be regarded as the most enthusiastic and aggressive group in Tianyuan City.

Guang Luqing, who was in charge of the palace portal and the head of the palace, was a very delicate position in Tianyuan City. Theoretically, Guangluqing was responsible for serving and defending the emperor, and the emperor's civil and military attendants were under his jurisdiction; On the other hand, if Guangluqing fell to any of the forces, that force could immediately threaten the emperor. In the turbulent Zhou Dynasty, the emperor relied on Guangluqing and was on guard, limiting his power in many ways.

After Emperor Zhou Ren established the cardinal province, he officially divided the duties of Guangluqing, and changed the senator Lang and other literary attendants who originally belonged to Guangluqing to the leadership of the cardinal province, and only sent his name to Guangluqing; And the guard Hu Ben Lang who was near the emperor was directly controlled by the emperor through the Hu Ben Order, and Guang Luqing had no right to intervene.

All of them were officers, less than 100 people, and they were selected from among the strong, loyal and brave military attachés of the imperial family. According to reports, the selection criteria for Hu Benlang are extremely strict, and the initial examination of age and appearance requires more than 20 and less than 40, more than 7 feet tall, and proficient in technical combat; The re-examination examines endurance and marching speed, and requires "the armor of the three genera, the crossbow of twelve stones, the fifty arrows of the bear, the top of the sword, the crown with the sword, the food of three days, and the middle of the day and the hundred miles"; Three tests, to test the skill and courage of riding, requiring "walking can chase the horse, and gallop and ride."

…… Crossing the ravine, climbing the hills, risking the block, overwhelming the great ze, galloping the enemy, and chaotic the public. ”

The strength of the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Benlang selected through the three-tone consecutive test is far from being comparable to the silver-like wax-headed gun of Jin Wuwei. In the incident of the barbarian locust invading Tianyuan, most of the Jin Wuwei were scattered, and it was the well-equipped and well-trained Tiger Benlang who blocked in front of the Taiqing Pavilion and repelled the barbarian warriors who were known for their bravery with one enemy and ten enemies. The only person who really belongs to the command of Guang Luqing is Ti Cailang, and Ti Cailang is also all officers, but he is second to Hu Benlang, about 500 people, responsible for the emperor's escort when he goes out on patrol, and is usually stationed outside the Taiqing Palace. After the barbarian locusts invaded the Taiqing Palace, Emperor Zhou Ren, in view of the lack of garrisons in the imperial city, made the barbarian locusts easily break through to the Taiqing Pavilion, and transferred all the Ti Qilang to the imperial city guards.

In the rebellion on the eve of Emperor Zhou Ren's death, Guang Luqing put his bet on the seventh son of the emperor, King Luo, who hoped that this force would suppress the brother kings and seize the throne.

The only thing that can clearly explain the beliefs of the Qintianjian is probably the legendary "History of the Qintianjian". But this person has never officially appeared in the history books at all, and with Tang Yu's majesty and strength, he is just a great pope who holds power on behalf of the sect leader. Therefore, the core beliefs of Qin Tianjian have always been full of all kinds of speculation.

It's like a replica of the Templar, whose core beliefs are also a mystery. Is the Templar faith, wrapped in lofty ideals, really a glorious core?

But there is one thing that Qin Tianjian is more frank about – it acknowledges the "evil" side of human nature. This "evil" includes greed, hatred, strife, selfishness, and so on. Therefore, Qin Tianjian believed that life in the world was like a huge flock of sheep, in which there were inevitably fierce rams, who would stir up disputes at fixed times in order to compete for the right to eat grass and make peace with the ewes, but it was precisely the power of the flock to reproduce, so that the more powerful rams could give birth to offspring. But on the other hand, if only one ram rules a flock at all times, the flock will also perish, because there will no longer be that beastly power in this quiet flock, and comfort will seriously cause the flock to lose its wildness, and thus be unable to resist the sudden external forces.

Therefore, during the period of his reign, Qin Tianjian always had an ambiguous attitude towards the people in power in the land of Kyushu. Sometimes they will support one side, sometimes they will support the other, and sometimes they will even take the initiative to provoke war between the two sides, which makes the Pope of Qin Tianjian look like a villain who plays with politics.

Qin Tianjian is a high religion, looking down on all beings like the stars and the moon in the night sky, and like a god who does not pity them. In contrast to the Templars' concept of "guarding the peace", the Templars were a religious system that was more likely to gain the favor of some rulers. Because they were not close to the common people, they had a more complete system of organization and power, and the absolute obedience of the subordinates to the superiors constituted an effective multi-level organization.

The "Qintian Prison History" is the supreme leader of this organization, but there are few historical records of people witnessing the existence of the prison history. The "Imam" composed of three "Grand Patriarchs" is the core of power within the Church, and the core figure of the Imam is called the "Pope". The Patriarchate is responsible for all important decisions, and each of them has a team that is responsible for himself, and the three teams are called "Yang", "Yin", and "Silence", which represent the Sun, the Double Moon, and the Gu Xuan, respectively, and the leaders of these three teams are called "Sects", in other words, one Patriarch corresponds to one Priest. The team led by the priest will pass the news to the patriarch in a timely manner, and the patriarch will make a decision and the pope will announce it. In a few times, when a pope has a high status and great power, he is often promoted to a demigod-like figure, and is rarely responsible for worldly affairs, at which time he is honored as the "Great Pope", and the other two patriarchs are subject to him and carry out his orders.

At this point, the balance of power is upset, but this often happens when there are extremely powerful figures within the sect, or when the sect has a great opportunity to grow.

The three core teams of "Yang", "Yin" and "Silence" are responsible for different affairs. The "Yang" is the largest branch, representing the organization and operation of the sect, and most of the Qintianjian cultists who surround the core of power are included in this team.

The followers of the Qintianjian are divided into five grades: "Ruins", "Persistence", "Sixuan", "Knowledge", and "Hearing". If they are just beginners and have no access to Chenyue's complex power system, they are all called "eye-hanging", which means that only the lower eyes can see the vast number of beings. The five levels of advanced disciples are further subdivided into ten levels, with two levels for each level, for example, the hearing is divided into "first hearing righteousness" and "great hearing righteousness", and "thinking xuan" is also divided into "first hearing xuan" and "great thinking xuan". Cultists of lower rank unconditionally obey senior congregations without a clear division of labor, and the punishment for disobedience is quite severe.

Lower-level followers should also take the initiative to pay homage to higher-level followers, and high-level followers are obliged to instruct low-level followers in secret techniques and teachings.

But as mentioned earlier, what the real doctrine is is always a mystery. Therefore, it is difficult to say who has studied the doctrine more thoroughly, Qin Tianjian distinguishes the ranks of the sect members mainly depends on the secret arts, the high-level disciples often have more power than the low-level disciples, and the strength of the sect leaders can be called "terrifying".

"Yin" is the Inquisition, and when the decision of "Yang" cannot convince the masses in the Church, they will petition the Holy See, and the appearance of "Yin" is inevitable. The Yin Society sends a plenipotentiary team—all of the high-priced congregationals—to make judgments based on the doctrine and then report the results of the judgment to the Patriarchal Body. The Prefectural Council has no authority to change this result, unless the contemporary pope is extremely tough, such as Tang Yu, who is a tough pope.

There will still be times when such a papal contingent cannot be dealt with fairly, and the patriarchate can directly order a new trial; Or if the parties to this religious lawsuit show disobedience, they will have to rely on the last powerful group, the "silence". The most mysterious procession, "silence", is usually in the hands of the Pope, and there is only one type of situation in which the role of "silence" can be clearly seen, that is, when "yin" issues a challenge to the fatwa of "yang", and "yang" does not believe in the judgment of "yin", the scroll is handed to "silence", and the final judge is "silence" and the pope in charge of it. Of course, in fact, the power of "silence" should be much more than the final arbitration.

The Silence is the smallest group of the entire sect, but it brings together almost all the top mystical masters, who spend most of their time meditating or waiting for secret instructions. This organizational system was inducted from the time when Tang Yu was in charge of the Qin Heavenly Prison, and is said to have originated from the ancient criminal laws of the Shang Dynasty. And in the era when the Qin Tianjian hid themselves, it was a mystery what kind of power system they enforced. Changes in the secular status of Qin Tianjian after Emperor Wu of Zhou

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Zhou, the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Tang Yu, an unprecedented master of mysticism, gained the trust of Emperor Wu of Zhou, and the emblem of the "Stars and the Moon" of the Qin Tianjian was once placed alongside the fire emblem of the Zhou family, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all proud to listen to the dark and mysterious teachings of the Qin Tianjian, and the followers of the sect numbered as many as 100,000. The prestige of the Qin Heavenly Prison reached its peak at this time.

However, in the later period of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Qin Tianjian intervened in Lichu, wandered among the princes' forces, and even instigated the rebellion of the "rebel king" Zhou Yuanxing after the accession of Qingzong. The rebels besieged the palace for a month, and Qingzong needed to feed on human flesh in the palace, and the Tianyuan Gongqing suffered many casualties.

In the end, with the help of the army of Chu, the rebel party was destroyed, and the population of Tianyuan City was lost by three-tenths because of this chaos. After exterminating the rebel party, Qingzong resented Qin Tianjian's betrayal and turned the spearhead to Qin Tianjian. Tianyuan City once again ushered in a bloodbath, the country's important ministers were almost killed and wounded, and the historians were forced by the power of the Son of Heaven to erase all traces of Chenqin Tianjian from the history books.

The once prominent Qin Tianjian power among the ministers was suddenly uprooted, and the once high flags of the stars and the moon were torn off, trampled on, and burned, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent, and no one dared to mention the name of Qin Tianjian again.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Qin Tianjian appeared in the court for the only time in public, and his power leaned towards the government and the opposition, but he suffered heavy losses later due to his vain attempt to manipulate the situation. In the history books of the Zhou Dynasty, we can only see some clues about the existence of Qin Tianjian from the few words that mention "traitorous party", but they are all vague because of the historian's penmanship. Qin Tianjian succeeded in provoking a rebellion, further weakening the royal power, but also suffering heavy losses himself. Because of his beliefs, the Qin Heavenly Prison is not truly loyal to an individual, and its followers believe in the ultimate balance.

Despite the trust of Emperor Wu of Zhou, it was almost inevitable that Qin Tianjian would support Zhou Yuanxing. Although Qin Tianjian's attempt to go public was carried out vigorously, and even when it failed, countless Tianyuan ministers were buried with him, but Qin Tianjian's faith determined that its attempt to go public would inevitably end in failure.

Qin Tianjian analyzed the gains and losses of moving towards openness internally, and summarized six principles to guide action.

1. Hidden. No more attempts to go public, manipulating everything behind the scenes. Cultists who act outside must hide their identities as members of the Moon.

Second, borrowing. Continue to adhere to the upper line, and manipulate the power of the ministers and nobles and princes to achieve their own goals.

3. Dispersion. In order to prevent the uprooting of the Qintianjian cultists during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty, the Qintianjian changed its organizational structure and made one-line contact with each other in the form of a mentorship system. When meeting with a disciple other than the teacher, recognize each other by incision and emblem. Fourth, obedience. The disciple is absolutely obedient to the instructions of the teacher. 5. Responsibility. The guru is responsible for teaching the disciples the teachings and secret arts, and the teachers are jointly and severally liable for the mistakes committed by the disciples.

6. Quit killing. Unless necessary, the members of the Qintian Prison are not allowed to kill each other.

After Emperor Wu of Zhou, the more concealed mentor system replaced the previous system and became the organizational system of Qin Tianjian. The one-line approach is not only subtle, but also more direct and efficient than before. The Cultists of the Celestial Prison were dispersed in an inverted tree-like structure, secretly carrying out their missions.

The loss at the time of Emperor Wu of Zhou made the Qintianjian more cautious, not willing to bet on one person anymore, but wishing to follow the teachings and support the various forces separately.

At the same time, due to the fact that a large number of Qintianjian followers were exterminated by the Qing Sect and there was an extreme shortage of manpower, Qintianjian had to relax the selection of peripheral members while reorganizing the internal structure. For all these reasons, and in accordance with the new Six Principles, an unknown Pope came up with a system called the "Seed." The so-called "seed" system is actually a set of infiltration plans based on the mentorship system of Qin Tianjian.

After completing the basic education of the young disciples, the teachers of the Qin Heavenly Prison placed them next to the important people of the future, approached them and tried to manipulate them in various ways. Qin Tianjian abandoned the simplistic impatience of Emperor Wu of Zhou, and all the "seeds" needed to do initially was to get close to these important people and try to grab more power, just like the children of the family who usually had a desire to improve, until the mentor felt that the right time had come and gave further instructions to the "seeds".

It's like activating some kind of instruction, the latent "seed" begins to "sprout", and the disciples who have been influenced by Qin Tianjian since childhood will practice their beliefs with their actions in the process of "germination", even at a huge cost. Qin Tianjian believes that every "sprout" brings the entire land of Kyushu one step closer to balance. "Germination" is a crucial step for the "seed" to embark on the path of the Qin Tianjian, and only after the "germination" of the "seed" will the Qin Tianjian be recognized and believed, and continue to cultivate the teachings and secret arts. Some "seeds" are buried deep because of need, or they are abandoned by their teachers because of insufficient ability and faith, and they do not have a chance to "sprout" once in their lives. And between the "seeds" and the "seeds", they often do not know each other's existence;

Qin Tianjian believed that the possible conflict between the natural reaction under unknowing conditions and the seed would be more conducive to achieving balance.

The "seed" system provided a chance for the Qin Heavenly Eunuch, which had been greatly weakened during the reign of Emperor Wu of Zhou, to breathe and grow, and the immediate defeat of the younger disciples was a much lighter loss than that of the core elders; And the relatively covert mode of action also makes Qin Tianjian himself safer and easier to achieve his goals.

Through the "seed" system, Qin Tianjian is like a mystic who hides behind the scenes and controls the doll with a star puppet line, secretly manipulating the situation in Kyushu to move in the direction he wants. It was not mainly the imperial ministers who controlled the emperor's behavior, but the huge internal supervision system.

The emperor's "private ministers" were called "inner supervisors", and in principle, these people only served the emperor personally, taking care of the daily life of the emperor and his concubines. Therefore, they are also eunuchs without exception. However, the internal supervisors were also responsible for supervising the emperor's personal life, and they had the responsibility to promptly convey the good and bad things in the emperor's private life to the imperial ministers and the imperial clan elders, and to advise them in a timely manner.

The rules that regulate the life of the emperor are called the "Commentary on the Emperor", which contains countless laws and is so complicated that even historians are troubled, and it is established for just one person, that is, the emperor. The only people who can really master this code are the leaders of the internal supervision group. This code is said to have been drafted by the First Emperor Zhou Yin himself, and later added by successive emperors and approved by the Bai Clan Elders' Association, which was friendly to the emperor and constrained.

But there is no doubt that it is difficult for a person like Zhou Yin to write such a huge and rigorous work, and he himself is hanging, and he can't even understand the most important "Great Law" of the Zhou Dynasty. And there is no need for successive emperors to add more constraints to themselves. It should be said that this code is the product of the cooperation between the internal supervision group, the ministerial group, and the clan elder council, and is used to restrain the emperor's behavior.

Of course, Zhou Qing, like Zhou Yin, did not follow the "Dilun Commentary", because he was not cultivated as a possible heir at all, so he did not study this emperor's compulsory course at all when he was a prince. Later, when he heard the inner eunuchs propose the "Commentary on the Edict of Dilun" to persuade him, he always rejected it on the grounds that he had never read it and did not know what it was.

The titles of the leaders of the internal supervision group are palm incense, palm sword, palm book and palm seal, which originally meant that the emperor held the incense burner, the sword, the classics and the national seal behind him. However, it later evolved into the Zhangxiang Inner Supervisor who was really responsible for the emperor's daily life, the Zhangjian Inner Supervisor was responsible for leading Jin Wuwei to maintain the safety of the palace, the Zhangjian Internal Supervisor was in fact a historian and was responsible for recording the details of the emperor's daily life, and the Zhangyin Internal Supervisor was responsible for assisting the emperor in handling official documents, but it was never allowed to issue suggestions to the court without permission. However, the restriction on the internal supervision of palm prints is in fact difficult to achieve, because their opinions are written through the emperor's pen, and as long as the emperor allows them to speak, no one can stop them.

The relationship between the emperor and the inner eunuchs was also very delicate, and the emperor hated the inner eunuchs, but he also relied on them. Because of the existence of the internal supervisors, they can only rely on the emperor, and the emperor also relies on the strength of the internal supervisors to skillfully play with the imperial ministers.

The imperial city of the Zhou Dynasty was called the Taiqing Palace, which consisted of two parts: the "court" in the southern half and the "palace" in the northern half. Surrounded by tall walls and moats, they are magnificent and discreet, and are exemplary palace complexes.

The walls of the imperial city are three feet six feet high and two feet four feet wide to three feet wide. The masonry structure, covered with blue bricks, is painted with red whitewash, solemn and solemn. Its position was in the middle of the Tianyuan, and it was slightly south due to the removal of the south wall. The southeast, northwest, and northwest each open a door, which is opposite to the four gates of the sun, the valley Xuan, the filling and the seal pool. It is guarded by Jin Wuwei and the Inner Prison Department of Zhangjian.

All the imperial court institutions are in the court, including the Privy Council, the Sangong Mansion, the Jiuqing Mansion, etc., and the Department of Public Security and the various ministries and the Imperial Historical Observatory are distributed in the court. The roads in the court are wide and smooth, but except for the imperial family and the old ministers who are old and old and young and virtuous Shao who are authorized by the emperor, they are not allowed to ride in sedan chairs. Some ministers will receive additional favors and give them the courtesy of riding on the shoulder. But the inner court occupies a wide area, in the case of official correspondence between the government and the government, often rely on the good foot of the inner servants to pass back and forth, over time it has become customized, known as "walking the book", they carry the letter shelf, the foot is not dusty, move quickly and silently, wear a red coat, walk through the inner court trail, never talk to each other. The inner supervisor of the sword has the power of supervision, and when he sees a person who opens and reads the official documents, he can be killed on the spot.

The Kingo's range of activity was confined to the court and the tall walls, where they set up near-perfect defenses, including crossbow arrays, fire oil, and even stone cannons. The defense of Taiqing Palace requires that after the defense of Tianyuan City is broken through, it can still hold on to the palace walls. In addition, there are secret passages under the Taiqing Palace, which were built in the ancient Shang Dynasty, many places are blocked, some places are filled with sewage, and full of toxic miasma, its map has been lost, and later emperors have been unable to explore these hidden roads.

The most famous building in the Taiqing Palace is the Taiqing Pavilion, which is a symbol of the emperor's power and the tallest building in the imperial capital. Whenever there was a grand ceremony, the emperor would sit on the highest part of the Taiqing Pavilion and accept the worship of his courtiers.

Bounded by the tallest building of the imperial city, the north of the Taiqing Pavilion is the palace city, and the palace city also has two front and back, the front part is the court hall, and the back part is the sleeping palace. Miyagi has more than 300 rooms. In the eyes of astrologers, everything in the land of Kyushu is dominated by the trajectory of the stars.

In the 57-year reign of Emperor Zhou Mingtu of the Eastern Continent, the brilliance of the year has been shining on the night sky of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and this star symbolizing "rules" and "reciprocation" has maintained a monotonous but peaceful era with its incredible great power.

However, the trajectory of the year finally deviated from the highest point of the Heavenly Center, and in its place was the North Star, a cluster of seven stars symbolizing struggle and killing, shone with a steely cyan glow. When the astrologers of all races marveled at this huge change in the celestial phase, they all speculated about what kind of changes the North Star Lord would bring to the world. Although this astrological change cannot be compared with the strong hedge between the Beichen Star Cluster and Gu Xuan more than 70 years later, it also casts an ominous shadow on the vast land of the Eastern Continent.
