Chapter 51: Ascension
The New Year's atmosphere of Daqin is strong, but it is not hung on the surface like in later generations, there is no couplet god, and there are no firecrackers. Only some tall and generous restaurants and drunken incense buildings in Xianyang have red silk and red lanterns hanging on them.
Just looking at the street scene, you can't see the atmosphere of the New Year, you have to look at the people, the pedestrians have no hurried lines in the past, most of them are wrapped in fur coats, only the mouth and eyes are exposed, and the overflow of color in the eyes shows the joy of this New Year's season.
Xianyang City is very lively, Changxing Town is a lot sluggish, although the pedestrians also show the same look as Xianyang people, there are very few transactions on the street, but Zhao Qi does not feel lonely, Zhao Mansion came to a special guest on the first day of the new year, of course, he did not come to find Zhao Qi, but he was very compatible with Zhao Qi, and the two of them sat in a daze for a morning to break the laws of this heaven and earth.
"Brother Zhao, it's not my brother boasting, just my research on the world, our Great Qin, compared with the world, is just an inch of stiffness, I always think that every star in the sky is connected to a heaven and earth, we Daqin people think that the Seven Kingdoms are the world, that is the world of the Great Zhou before, there are Xiongnu in the north of the Great Zhou, who dares to say that there is no other race in the north of the Xiongnu?" The young man in silk clothes shook his head and hooked his shoulders with Zhao Qi, talking eloquently, Bai Zhong pouted next to him, disdainful of his suffocating remarks.
Since the summer, the world is only the land of the Seven Kingdoms, no one has ever been to a farther place, since the beginning of the Great Zhou, this week is the world, there is a person standing at the peak of the world, is the Son of Heaven.
After the Spring and Autumn Period, although the princes are five points and seven points of the world, but the world is still the world, an inch of land does not increase, an inch of land does not decrease, to the west is the endless mountains, that is the end of the west, to the east and south is the endless ocean, that is the end of the east and south, although there is the land of the Xiongnu to the north, but there is a "getaway" that says: there are fish in the north of the underworld, and its name is Kun. It can be seen that the north is like the east and the south, an endless ocean, and Bai Zhong has always disagreed with Liu Erdan's idea.
Zhao Qi's attitude is very different, this Liu Erdan is not the first time he has seen it, I remember that he took the palace guards out of the palace to find relatives, the first time he came to Changxing Town, it was this kid who led the way, when two ingots of silver bought him, I thought this kid was a superficial person who was heavy on wealth and color, I didn't expect this kid to visit today, and after talking, I found that this person still has some knowledge, although it is all imaginary, but it is already a little similar to the truth.
The thoughts of the Great Qin people are very Bai Zhong, Zhao Qi knows very well, Zhuang Zhou did not deceive people, there is indeed an ocean north of the Xiongnu, called the Arctic Ocean, as for Kun, Zhao Qiquan understands it as a whale, and I don't know if this old man really knows that there are big fish in the sea or thinks about it, anyway, it is very close to reality, as for turning into a bird Zhao Qi does not believe it, let alone the Great Qin people, it is estimated that even Kun will not believe it.
"Brother Liu is knowledgeable, this judgment has opened the boy's eyes, but you have woken me up, Brother Liu only said that the north of the Xiongnu has more territory, how can you not imagine that there are countries beyond the mountains and deserts in the west? And the continent at the end of the ocean in the southeast? You only say that every star is the entrance to a world, how can you not imagine how far away the stars are from us, could it be that the stars are a side of water and soil? Although Zhao Qi didn't like Liu Erdan very much and called him Brother Zhao, he appreciated his idea, which slightly guided him to think more comprehensively, maybe he could fool this kid to help him explore the world, maybe the Silk Road could be developed thousands of years earlier.
Liu Erdan's eyes lit up, and he walked in front of Zhao Qi in three or two steps, blocking him and saying: "Confidant, Brother Zhao woke up the dreamer with a word, I like to study this kind of thing since I was a child, and it seems incompatible with the people around me, Bole knows horses, and Brother Zhao knows gentlemen, I didn't expect that I, a thousand miles of horses, only saw my Bole today."
Zhao Qigang wanted to hold Liu Erdan's hand and say a few words excitedly, but Bai Zhong pushed Liu Erdan away one step in advance, glared at him and said: "Don't get in the way, what kind of man are you, people can run thousands of miles by eating a basket of forage, you can kneel down on the spot if you eat a basket of forage, I think you are a donkey at most, and comparing Qi'er to Bole is a little eye-catching, but how can this Bole be 12/12 smart?"
Bai Zhong said very meanly, Liu Erdan pursed his lips and disagreed, Zhao Qi really had a happy heart, he didn't expect him to be so powerful in Bai Zhong's heart.
In fact, it's not just Bai Zhong who thinks so, Xianyang knows that Zhao Qi basically thinks like this, Zhao Qi's relatives and friends regard him as the most bragging capital to show off, and the leader of Daqin regards him as the number one cultivation object, as for those who are not used to Zhao Qi, they have long regarded him as their number one opponent.
Of course, in addition to these, there was also a group of people hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity to stare at Zhao Qi, if they were still in a neutral state when Zhao Qi first came to Daqin, then now they are completely on the opposite side of him. Zhao Qi actually didn't particularly want to be enemies with these people, Jing Ke assassinated Qin, although he failed to kill Ying Zheng, but it was more than enough to kill Zhao Qi's family, but if Zhao Qi came together with them, it would inevitably be an enemy of Ying Zheng, which was more important, maybe they didn't understand, but Zhao Qi knew it very well.
Ying Zheng is nothing compared to Zhao Qi and Meng Tian in the eyes of everyone, only Zhao Qi knows that this is a potential stock, only when he becomes the king of Qin, he can pour out his suppressed talent, this is the real king, only by unswervingly standing on Ying Zheng's side, he can sit back and relax.
The road in Changxing Town was covered with thick snow, and the squeaks were terrible, and the footsteps of the three people were naturally not so loud. The carriage inlaid with gold and silver is the representative of the royal family, and the birds on it are the noble standard, seeing the direction of the carriage, Zhao Qi knows that this leisurely wandering day is over.
Zhao Qi sighed, patted the snow on his body, squinted at the end of the avenue, and said to Bai Zhong: "Brother Bai, the queen's mother's luan has arrived, let's go back, it is estimated that I came with the documents appointed by the king, hey, I thought I would have a good shopping on the first day of the new year, but it seems that it will not be done."
"Congratulations to Brother Zhao for his ascension." Liu Erdan's mouth is owed, I don't know if he really can't hear the meaning of Zhao Qi's words or deliberately.
Zhao Qi frowned, kicked twice in the crook of his leg, and then turned his back and walked away, Bai Zhong shook his head and followed closely behind, leaving Liu Erdan, who didn't know why, touching the back of his head in confusion.
Seeing the two of them walking away, he shouted: "Hey, Brother Zhao, wait for me!" So he chased after him.
