Qin Xianggong reigned for 12 years, Qin Xianggong led his troops to attack Xirong, and when the army reached Qishan, Qin Xianggong suddenly contracted a serious illness and died. The army had no choice but to bring the body of Qin Xianggong to Xiinu Hill for its funeral, and supported Qin Xianggong's son Yingde as Qin Wengong.

Duke Wen of Qin lived in the Xitui Palace in Dog Hill. Duke Wen of Qin reigned for three years and led 700 soldiers to the east to hunt, of course, this young and ambitious monarch of Qin was not tightly for hunting. When their team reached the intersection of the two rivers of Huangshui and Weishui. Looking at the meeting of the two rivers and the turbulent river, Qin Wengong not only had his heart fluctuate, but he remembered his Qin clan and the development history of the Qin clan. In order to win this Qin land, from Qin Zhong to his father Qin Xianggong, the ancestors died three generations of monarchs on the way to crusade against Xirong for this land, and even more outstanding generals sacrificed countless times. Facing the surging river, the young monarch said with deep feelings: "In the past, King Xiao of Zhou gave this place to my ancestors as a fiefdom, and later after the continuous efforts of the Qin ancestors, it was the turn of the widow's generation to finally become a prince. The widow thought that this should be the birthplace of the Qin people, and it was the place where the gods blessed my Qin people. ”

So Qin Wengong ordered the diviner to divinate whether it was suitable for living here, and the result of divination was auspicious, so Qin Wengong decided to build a city here. Duke Wen of Qin decided to move the capital of Qin here, which became known as Chencang City.

This ambitious monarch also set up historians from his own generation to record major events, so that most of the people were educated. The code was also revised to designate important laws such as the three tribes. Qin Wengong learned the lesson of his ancestors, not in a hurry to crusade against Xirong, but in the accumulation of national strength, to speed up the pace of economic construction, for the surrounding subjects belonging to the Zhou Dynasty, because the remnants who failed to follow King Zhou Ping to move east were incorporated into the Qin State, the population is accumulating, and the scale of production is also accumulating. In the sixteenth year of Qin Wengong, Wen Gong sent a large army to attack Xirong, at this time the Qin State was already strong and strong, and the Xirong who could fight a decisive battle with the ancestors of the Qin State fled at this time. Qin's territory had expanded to include Qishan. and a large area of land east of Qishan.

After all, Duke Wen of Qin is a monarch with brains and has always been thoughtful in his work, and his ancestors were divided by the Zhou royal family to the land west of Qishan. As long as it is west of Qishan, no matter how far the Qin state expands, it is reasonable and legal. However, the east of Qishan, which he expanded, had no name. In this year, when the Duke of Qin Wen sent envoys to pay tribute to the Zhou royal family, he sent a message that the Qin State had enough places to feed its subjects, and decided to dedicate the land east of Qishan to the Emperor of Zhou. At this time, King Zhou Ping was in the nineteenth year of moving to Luoyi, and his life had just stabilized, and he shuddered at the mention of the land of Hojing. So King Zhou Ping just smiled and didn't answer, and Duke Wen of Qin continued his rule in the Western Regions. This Shengming monarch knew very well in his heart that when he expanded a large area of land, it would cause the idea of Zhou Tianzi and the dissatisfaction of other princes, and it was just a matter of ceding the east of Qishan, and he knew in his heart that even if he proposed to give up the land east of Qishan, King Zhou Ping would no longer be able to extend his arm so long to govern this land. However, after Qin Wen built the capital of Chencang, he always had to look for evidence to prove the correctness of his own construction of the capital Chencang, so as to get the fairness of the people.

During the nineteen-year reign of Duke Wen of Qin, history records such an event:

On a silent and dark night, a meteor streaked across the sky north of Chencang, and a meteorite fell from the sky. The pheasant crowed, and it was rumored that the pheasant was coming.

When Qin Wengong heard of this kind of strange thing, he sent people to look for the fairy chicken, of course the fairy chicken did not find it, but the people who walked into the mountain found a strange stone, from the traces that appeared around, this stone did fall from the sky, it was a gem given by God to Chen Cang,

The meteorite is the size of a watermelon, with an ablative and molten surface, and the corners are smooth and delicate, shimmering with a black luster, without any cavities or cracks. The person who found this immortal stone did not dare to desecrate this strange immortal stone, and after reporting it to Qin Wengong, he personally led the way to Qin Wengong to watch.

Qin Wengong led everyone to the place where the immortal stone was, and everyone walked into this immortal stone, a strange thing happened, Qin Wengong and the people's matching swords and other bronze weapons suddenly seemed to have long legs, and refused to approach the immortal stone. The closer they got to the immortal stone, the more the weapons resisted more and more, and they fled outward. Everyone was shocked, they didn't know that the meteorite contained a strong magnetic force that repelled the bronze.

Duke Qin Wen ordered everyone to put down their weapons and wait in place, and he also took off his sword and walked into the immortal stone cautiously. Qin Wengong walked in front of the immortal stone, and touched the immortal stone with his hand, feeling smooth and cold. Qin Wengong said softly: "Don't be surprised by the treasure, the widow has no malicious intent. Qin Wengong personally lifted the immortal stone, and felt that this gem was several times heavier than ordinary stones, and Qin Wengong cherished it as if he had obtained a treasure. Ordered people to build an ancestral courtyard to enshrine this fairy stone, because it was found in the new capital Chen Cang, so it was named "Chen Bao". Getting the gem, the Qin government and the opposition were full of praise: Qin Chen Cang got the gem, which was a gift from God to Qin, proving that Qin had the support of God in Chen Cangjian. The local Zhou people, who originally rejected the Qin people in their hearts, gradually became accustomed to the new Qin people as rulers after this propaganda. As a result, the Qin State was peaceful, and compared with the princes of the Central Plains, it was even more dominant.

In the forty-eighth year of Qin Wengong, the son was unfortunate and went before Qin Wengong himself, Qin Wengong died in the fiftyth year, and his eldest grandson was enthroned, called Qin Ninggong. At this time, Qinning Palace was only about ten years old.
