Chapter 548: Hope Langya Terrace

The gust of wind in Jiaodong also blew to Langya in the south.

Langya was the land of the ancient Ju country, and later ceded to the Qi country, and once served as the capital of the Yue king Goujian, but the Yue people could not cross the Jianghuai to defend it, so they entered the Tianqi and became the "Ju" of the five administrative regions of the Qi country. Langya City is an important seaport in Judi, and it is also an important destination for Qin Shi Huang's eastern tour.

To the east of Langya City Port, there is a mountain on the seaside, the shape is like a platform, high and a hundred zhang, so it is called "Langya Terrace". When Qin Shi Huang arrived here, the local officials had already conquered 30,000 people, widened the road, and built a magnificent palace for the emperor on the Langya Terrace......

This palace is located on the Langya platform that is more than 100 zhang high, the royal road of "three or four zhang wide" is repaired under the stage, nine peaks are pulled up in the clouds, there is a stone road between the peaks, the name is "cloud ladder". In early spring, trees and shrubs on the slopes on both sides of the ladder are full of vegetation and rejuvenated, and when you turn back during the climb, you can see the thriving harbor and the turquoise East China Sea.

Qin Shi Huang came to Langya Palace on the first day, he stayed up all night, reviewing the notes that were delayed due to the hurry, this batch was a dream of sleeping, and when the rooster crowed, he couldn't sleep, so he simply put on a thick coat and let Zhao Gao accompany him to watch the sea and the sun on the Langya platform.

Seeing the bright red rising sun jumping out of the sea and the sky full of red clouds, I suddenly felt that the block in my chest disappeared, and the tiredness of staying up all night was gone.

He simply didn't sleep, called the Langya County Guard, and asked about Langya Tai.

"I see that the outer wall of this Langyatai Palace is old, the wall is full of vines, it has been built for some years, when can it be traced back to the earliest?"

Langya County Shouyu reported: "The first monarch to come here should be Duke Qi Huan and Duke Qi Jing, all of whom are happy with the scenery of Langya and will not return for several months." However, at that time, the palace room on Langya Tai was shabby, and the real construction should be Goujian, the king of Yue......"

In the twenty-ninth year of Goujian, the king of Yue, Goujian destroyed Wu, wanted to dominate China, migrated to the capital Langxie, set up a viewing platform on the mountain, Zhou Qili, and looked at the East China Sea.

This is the origin of the seven-mile stone city on the Langya platform, no wonder the architectural style is quite southern characteristics.

Qin Shi Huang looked at Prime Minister Li Si on the side: "How far is it to Langya?" ”

Li Siyu reported: "It is nearly 2,000 miles by land, and at least 1,500 miles by water. ”

Qin Shi Huang shook his head when he heard this: "King Goujian of Yue is ambitious. ”

The move of the capital across thousands of miles seems unreasonable, but Qin Shi Huang can understand, Gou Jian also learned from Wu Wangfucha, bent on seeking hegemony, at that time the princes were concentrated in the north, and the capital of the Yue country was in Huiji, located in a corner of the southern coast, the whip is out of reach, to achieve hegemony, must move the capital.

This is just like if the Qin State wanted to rise, it had to move from Yong, which was in a remote corner, to Xianyang, which was close to the Central Plains.

Langya is obviously a good location, connecting Huai and Si in the south, going to Qing and Qi in the north, contacting Haidai, controlling the Ji River, and the mountains and rivers are entangled, which is enough to consolidate itself. Wu Wangfu used this as a springboard to invade Qi Valu. The Yue people not only destroyed Wu, but also came out of the evil to covet Qilu Sishang.

The Yue people are good at boating, Langya is an excellent harbor, the southwest and northeast of Langya Terrace have harbors that can shelter from the wind and stop ships, which is suitable for ships to go back and forth. The Langya County Guard said that in that year, the Yue State ordered 2,800 soldiers of the navy to cut down trees to build boats, and after five years of careful preparations, a large-scale boat division of "8,000 dead soldiers and 300 ships" was dispatched to occupy this place in one fell swoop.

This number is very large, and at present, the Huiji Boat Division of the Qin Dynasty who went north to support Langya is only half of this number.

Langya County Shou said: "After Gou Jian took Langya as the capital, he once dominated Qilu Sishang, it is said that even Confucius took 70 disciples, Fengxian Wang Yaqin, came to pay homage to Gou Jian......"

"Oh?"

Qin Shi Huang came to be interested: "How Gou Jian treated Confucius." ”

He was very curious, one was the overlord of Yu Yue Barbarian, and the other was a sage who respected Zhou Li, what kind of scene would it be when the two met?

"I heard from the locals that the scene of Gou Jian meeting Confucius was not friendly."

Langya County Shouyu said: "At that time, Jujian was given the armor of Yi, with the sword of light, it was not powerful enough, and he had to hold a Qu Lu spear, and there were 300 people who dared to die with tattoos around him, located outside the city gate, Confucius and his disciples were in wide robes and big sleeves, passing through 300 people, before they could pay homage to Goujian......"

The first sentence of Gou Jian when he saw Confucius, he did not have the slightest politeness, and asked directly: "Why did the master teach me?" ”

The more people are the more people, and the Central Plains Houbo at least had to be polite and humble, so he asked Confucius directly: What do you teach me? There is no respect in words, only provocation and contempt.

Confucius's response was also decent, and he replied solemnly: "Qiu Neng tells the way of the Duke of Zhou, here, he will first play the yaqin and dedicate it to the king......"

However, Confucius was wrong, his trick was good to deal with Qi Jinggong, Wei Linggong, and even Ye Gong of Chu State, but he didn't use it against Gou Jian, the king of Yue, and was just about to stroke the qin, but was interrupted by Gou Jian's words:

"The Yue people are fragile and stupid, sailing on the water, living in the mountains, and using boats as vehicles. I like weapons and dare to fight to the death, but I don't understand Yaqin, but the master uses Yaqin to teach them, I'm afraid it's useless! ”

In the eyes of Gou Jian, Yaqin and music are useless things, and he made it clear that he would not give Confucius's "Zhou Gongdao" any opportunity to speak, so this rare meeting broke up unhappily......

After hearing this, Qin Shi Huang smiled and said: "Gou Jian is doing the right thing, the study of Confucianism is indeed useless to overbearing." ”

It has been a long time since the world's etiquette collapsed, but Confucius paid attention to grooming and clothing, and detailed red tape, even if he couldn't learn it for several generations, and he couldn't figure it out in his life. If Goujian, the king of Yue, uses this set of things to change the customs of the Yue people, although he can be praised by the people of Qilu, it is contrary to the domineering he wants to pursue.

In Qin Shi Huang's view, people like Confucianism can speak and understand, but they mess with the law, and they are arrogant and self-righteous, and they can't be used by their subordinates, lobbying and begging for officials, but all countries that reuse them, such as Lu and Zhongshan, eventually declined.

Therefore, not to mention that there is no cultural practice, even if it is his ancestor Qin Xiaogong, when Shang Ying first entered Qin, he said it with the way of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors and the way of Tang Wu respectively, Qin Xiaogong dozed off until Shang Yang began to talk about domineering and changing the law, Qin Xiaogong was in good spirits and moved to listen several times.

However, Qin Shi Huang thought about it carefully, and the situation faced by the Yue Kingdom back then was somewhat similar to that of Qin today:

The people of the Central Plains regarded the more barbarians and some people regarded Qin as the state of Rongdi, and Qin's set of laws and regulations was not recognized by the Kwantung people who were used to it.

Qin Shi Huang also made a compromise, and once wanted to complete his unification by sealing Mount Tai and recognizing the Kwantung god system, but the result was that he encountered wind and rain in Mount Tai, and was satirized by Confucianism, and the past is not the present......

After the promulgation of the edict, Confucian scholars were temporarily silenced, but under the silence, the hostility was even worse.

"It is right that Goujian, the king of Yue, does not use Confucius and Confucianism, but the Yue Kingdom, which was huge in the past and spanned thousands of miles from north to south, how can it unify the customs of Jianghuai Langya, and how can it last for a long time?"

This problem, the Yue State did not solve, after the death of the Yue King Goujian, the Yue soon declined, and was even attacked by the Chu State, taking away Huainan and Huaibei, making the national capital Langya and the local Jiangdong Huiji cut off contact, and the prominent Yue State went to division and extinction.

For Qin Shi Huang, this matter is of some warning significance, it is at night in the Langya Tai Palace, Qin Shi Huang turned over and over, thinking about this problem.

"Qi Huan Jinwen, husband and nephew, how many hegemony are stopped, all of them stop at the end of the body......"

It is not only a matter of unscrupulous descendants, but also the inability to condense, but also the collapse of a complete power.

Qin Shi Huang's most precious thing now is time, he already knows very well that this matter will not be completed in ten or twenty years, and he longs for immortality, so that there can be enough time to truly unify the world.

Although Feng Chan Taishan left a bad impression on Qin Shi Huang, in Jiaodong, the group of magicians who had no score on their lips also disappointed the emperor. However, the integration of gods from all over the world, and finally realizing the same customs in Kyushu and the consistency of the six contracts, is still the correct way for Qin Shi Huang to determine "unification of the world"!

So the next day, Qin Shi Huang sacrificed the "Four Seasons Lord" in Langyatai.

"The four seasons are born in spring and long in summer, harvested in autumn and stored in winter; Take and give modestly, go in and out sometimes, open and close, and do not lose its narrative; Joy and anger, rigidity and softness, do not deviate from the courtesy. ”

The four main gods are one of the eight gods of Qi and the earth, and they are most closely related to the lives of the Qi people. It dominates the four seasons, determines the growth of crops and agricultural harvests, and rises and falls with the tide throughout the year, and it is these seafood that nourish Langya to this day.

Therefore, in Langya, both the monarch and Li Shu have to worship it, and they choose to set up shrines and altars in Langya to thank the four seasons of the main gods for bringing wealth to people.

Qin Shi Huang also hoped that the Lord of the Four Seasons would make the empire last forever......

After solemnly sacrificing the Lord of the Four Seasons, Qin Shi Huang carved a stone monument in Langya in accordance with the old rules of the parade to praise Qin's achievements.

"In the thirty-second year of Wei, the emperor began. Fu Dongtu in the east to save soldiers. The matter is finished, but it is on the ...... of the sea."

In the stone carving, it is still a praise for the emperor's car and the same book and text: "Under the whole world, I will work hard to make my heart." A measure of equipment, the same as the text of the book. ”

However, unlike the previous stone carvings, Qin Shi Huang also carved the new atmosphere of Jiaodong into the text:

"The emperor's merit is to persuade him to do his best. Except for the last peasant, the head of Qiantou is rich. ”

"Paper is printed, drenched with salt. Twenty-four sections, the multiplication of all fruits. ”

It's all about Heifu's culture, education, and farming, but Heifu didn't dare to take credit, and counted them all on the head of Qin Shi Huang. In Qin Shi Huang's view, Jiaodong was a model for other counties in the empire, and these things should be promoted immediately.

"Six relatives protect each other, and there will be no thieves in the end. Qianshou is peaceful, and there is no need for military revolution. ”

Although the Jiaodong thieves are still clarifying, Qin Shi Huang acquiesced that they were already dead, and he was very confident in his Jiaodong guard.

The emperor also engraved his future expectations on the stone:

"Within Liuhe, the land of the emperor. Wading quicksand in the west, and reaching the north in the south. There is the East China Sea in the east, and Bactria in the north. Wherever people go, there are no subordinates. Gong Gai Five Emperors, Ze and Niu Ma. Don't be virtuous, each in peace! ”

The familiar "Song of Qin" echoed on the seaside, Qin Shi Huang stood on the Langya platform, watching the wind and rain wash the reef under the stage, he believed that many small problems he encountered in the process of unifying the world could eventually be solved, and his empire would be like the rising sun in the east, and it would become more and more hot and prosperous!

"The sun and the moon shine, and the boat carries it. It's all their fate, don't be surprised! ”

……

Perhaps because Xu Shi was imprisoned by Heifu, there was no chance to fool the emperor into sending him to take 3,000 boys and girls to sea, so Qin Shi Huang's stay in Langya was not as long as three months in history.

In late February, he left Langyatai with a large group of people, preparing to continue his tour of the eastern counties, and the next stop was Donghai County......

Thousands of people of chariots and horses march on the mountain road in the southwest of Ju County, this area is the remaining veins of Taiyi Mountain, the hills are vertical and horizontal, most of them are in the southeast and northwest directions, quite bumpy, the gallop road has not yet been built, so the road is narrow, and the team is long.

Along the way, the riders guided the paging and dispersed the pedestrians, and the Lang Wei held a horn bow on the car, and the violators shot it, and the people who took the high peep also shot it!

In short, the twenty miles of road that Qin Shi Huang traveled were combed by Lang Weijun like a comb, confirming that there were no leaves left behind before they could be passed, and ensuring that there were no small jumps.

As for the emperor's car, there were six identical Jingen cars, of which only one was the main car, and the rest were auxiliary cars. There are more cars around, and there are also foot and cavalry armed guards, who protect Qin Shi Huang so firmly that they don't know the travel specifications and posture, I'm afraid they will be dizzy to see the clouds.

Because the road is narrow, many places in the Junan Hills can only accommodate one car, so the auxiliary cars around the left and right can only be front or back, and the guards follow the cars to protect - as for which car the emperor is on, no one can know to outsiders, and those who dare to leak secrets will die!

Surrounded by dense woods, it coincided with the early morning, forming a thick fog, Qin Shi Huang stayed up late yesterday to review the recital, at this time he was closing his eyes to recuperate, and the emperor's increasingly old figure was shaking. Before the car, the CRRC government ordered Zhao Gao to drive conscientiously in front, manipulating the six horses, carefully avoiding any bumps, and he always drove so steadily.

Li Si, Ye Teng, Zhang Cang and other officials followed behind, while Zhong Langwei lined up, vigilantly watching the steep mountains and jungles around them, the convoy creaked, walking slowly and tediously.

As the sun gradually rose, the fog in the dense forests of the valley gradually faded, and just when the fog was about to dissipate, the sharp-eyed Lang Wei saw that on the forest hill more than ten zhang away from the road, there was a strange light flashing, which seemed to be the reflection of gold and iron......

Before he could go over to check and warn, a man stood up from the top of the hill, spun around in place a few times, threw something at it, and flew straight towards the convoy!

"There are assassins!"

The warning sound sounded immediately, but the vertical shield of the Lang guards was still a step slower, and the huge iron vertebrae rotated, and with the help of the condescending advantage, smashed into Qin Shi Huang's car.

"Boom!"

The Lang Weijun didn't have time to react, they could only watch in amazement, in the convoy, after a Jingen car behind was hit by a heavy object, it fell to the ground with six horses!

The butterfly wings flapped the wind and changed a lot of things, but the blow that was three years late still came!

This blow, like a flying stone hitting the water, stirred up a monstrous wave! The horses of the entire convoy were frightened and neighed!

This blow is also destined to shock the world!

Unlike in history, Bolangsha assassinated the deputy car by mistake, this time, in Junan, this huge iron vertebrae, I don't know if it was luck or calculation, actually hit the main car in which the emperor was riding!
