Chapter 108: The First Emperor Seals the Zen
Xianyang City, Afang Palace, is another day of court meeting
"Senior General Wang Jian, can the military and political reform go smoothly?" The First Emperor asked softly.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Meng Tian's Great Wall Expansion Legion, Wang Li's Great Wall Garrison Legion, and the Southern Expeditionary Legion that has been appointed as an old general have all been ordered, and now the reform is in full swing."
"Now it's the garrisons everywhere, because it's too scattered. There are problems with the transmission and implementation of the decree, but the old minister is confident that he will return His Majesty a brand new army this year. Wang Jian said confidently.
"The old general is really my right-hand man, and he is doing things safely." The First Emperor nodded in satisfaction.
Meng Tian's 400,000 troops plus Wang Ben's 200,000 troops, the entire 600,000 Great Wall Army is the sharpest spear and shield in the hands of the First Emperor. As long as these 600,000 troops are firmly in their hands, then this Great Qin will not be able to set off big waves.
"I want to seal Mount Tai, you Aiqing have ideas." The First Emperor asked.
Feng Chan Taishan and reclaiming the title of human emperor is something that Li Chen mentioned in his three invitations last year. At that time, it was the end of the year, and it was not possible to choose a good day and an auspicious day. Second, the First Emperor had not yet made up his mind about the matter of sealing Zen.
Now that the First Emperor took the initiative to mention this matter, Li Chen knew that the First Emperor was a little anxious. The military administration has begun to proceed steadily, so the next step to reform is the law. The first emperor enshrined Mount Tai in the form of showing his majesty, suppressing the world, and paving the way for the reform of the law.
According to the folklore of the Qin period, after Pangu's death, the head was Dongyue, the abdomen was Zhongyue, the left arm was Nanyue, the right arm was Beiyue, and the foot was Xiyue. Mount Tai is the head of Pangu, and naturally it is also the head of the five mountains.
If it is based on the five elements and the five virtues, the east is the place where the sun rises, and the ancients believed that it is the place where all things alternate and early spring occurs. According to the "five elements" the east belongs to wood, according to the "five constants" for benevolence, according to the "four hours" for spring, in the "Zhou Yi" gossip belongs to the earthquake, in the "twenty-eight stars" for the dragon. The traditional Chinese character "East" is "東", which is a meaning character. This word is from wood, day in it. The word "wood" is common with the word "mulberry" in the oracle bone inscription, so there is a saying that the sunrise is Fusang. "Benevolence" is the great virtue of heaven and earth, "spring" is the rebirth of all things, and "Zhen" and "Canglong" are the places where the emperor was born.
Qin is water virtue, and the east is wood. Among the five elements, wood and water are born together, and this Mount Tai is naturally the place where the dragon rises in Daqin. If the Thai character is split up and down, it is also made of wood and water. Therefore, if this Taishan Zen sealing can be carried out smoothly, it will naturally be a good thing for Daqin.
"Your Majesty's achievements have covered a thousand years, and it is indispensable for Degao to seal Mount Tai in everything." Li Si, the licking dog, first expressed reconsideration.
"Your Majesty has become a martial artist, and it is more than enough to seal Zen Taishan." Wang Jian also agreed.
"Minister, wait for reconsideration." The ministers hurriedly chimed in.
You must know that this Mount Tai Feng Zen is not what you want to seal, if the merit is not enough to seal the Zen, forcibly sealing the Zen will only end up laughing at the world. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Henggong wanted to seal Mount Tai, but Guan Zhong tried his best to dissuade him, thinking that his virtue was insufficient.
Before the Qin Dynasty, there were only ten people who sealed Mount Tai, Fuxi, Shennong, Xuanyuan, Zhuan, Diyu, Yao, Shun, Yu, Shangtang and Zhou Chengwang. And the fact that these more than ten people canonized Zen only exists in the literature and classics, and it is not known whether it is true.
"Li Chen, the auspicious day of this Zen Taishan is up to you to choose." The First Emperor said suddenly.
"Your Majesty spares your life," the First Emperor had just finished speaking, when he saw a gray-haired old man suddenly prostrate on the ground and shouted.
"Taibu, why are you doing that?" The First Emperor looked at the old man in front of him and asked.
This Taibu is also a small official, belonging to the regular subordinate officials of the Nine Qings, who are responsible for stargazing and divination on weekdays. And this is his business to choose a good day for national events.
"Didn't Your Majesty think that the old minister was old and overwhelmed by his heavy responsibilities, so he handed over the matter of selecting good days and auspicious days to the Hou Ye to do." Tabu asked.
"Aiqing has thought about it a lot, these three invitations are what Rong Luhou said, don't bother the two masters, let's leave this matter to Rong Luhou." The First Emperor said.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's good that I'm not unemployed."
"Sure enough, in the future, not only beware of peers, but also have to guard against cross-border." Taibu muttered in his heart.
"I won't do this kind of feudal superstition like this." Li Chen was also a little difficult at this time.
Or, nonsense. Since Your Majesty is so 6, then simply 666. Thinking of this, Li Chen opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the sixth day of June this year is a good day. ”
"Aiqing, you really know everything." The First Emperor exclaimed.
"Taibu, in your opinion, what is the date of Ronglu's candidacy." The First Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, let Lao Chen divinate one or two." Taibu replied in a hoarse voice as he pulled out a few pieces of tortoise shell from his sleeve.
This tortoise shell looks ancient, the lines are clear, and the tortoise shell is engraved with an incomprehensible font. The old lady shook the tortoise shell over and over again, and there were words in his mouth over and over again.
"Smack."
"Smack."
Only two crisp sounds were heard, and two pieces of tortoise shells fell to the ground. Coincidentally, the two tortoise shells fell to the ground and broke into six petals.
"Your Majesty, on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, it will be auspicious." Taibu shouted.
"Rong Luhou, he is really a pedantic celestial."
"Young and promising."
"Amazing, amazing."
The ministers paused for a moment and praised Li Chen one after another. It was also a divination day, Li Chen came as soon as he opened his mouth, but Taibu wasted a lot of time. Li Chen didn't need tools, and Taibu also needed to use tortoise shells. In this way, it is clear who is higher and who is lower between the two.
In the face of everyone's praise, Li Chen was unfazed and maintained an unfathomable smile.
"What the fuck."
"Anyway, if you don't understand it, it will be dealt with as feudal superstition." Li Chen thought so in his heart.
"Since this is the case, it is set on the sixth day of June Taishan to seal the Zen." The First Emperor clapped his head.
As the days passed, Daqin's military and political reforms were also progressing steadily. And the pace of Great Qin's reform is advancing step by step, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are being forced into a corner step by step.
They're starting to get anxious.
Lower phase, Maling Mountain
"Drink, drink, drink."
Xiang Yu is still training his three thousand Jiangdong soldiers, and these three thousand soldiers are the last hole cards of the Xiang clan.
If you go back to the era of the previous life, the combination of Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang does have the capital to compete in the Central Plains.
"My lord, there is not much time left for the Six Kingdoms."
"We're going to make tactical adjustments."
Zhang Liang said to Xiang Yu that if the military and political reform of Great Qin proceeded smoothly, with Xiang Yu's 3,000 soldiers, he would undoubtedly hit the stone with an egg.
"Before my uncle died, he told me everything to obey the military advisor, and the military advisor had a plan." Maybe it was because of Xiang Liang's death, Xiang Yu seemed to have grown a lot.
"I plan to assassinate Yingzheng and the ministers accompanying him when he is in Zen on the sixth day of the first month of June." Zhang Liang said.
"Is this sure?" Xiang Yu asked.
"No, but I had to do it. If the assassination is still 30% certain, then the rebellion is really not 10% certain. Zhang Liang said.
"In that case, listen to the military advisor." Xiang Yu has always been a gambler, and he has never lacked the courage to break the boat.
"I can't do this with my Xiang clan."
"As the saying goes, when the dung truck exploded, no one who was innocent."
"At the time of this assassination, the remnants of the six countries had to exert their strength." Zhang Liang said to Xiang Yu.
