As the sun sets, the orange-red afterglow of the sun decorates the huge Xianyang City with a dazzling and noble golden huáng color. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs the last bit of sunset faded, the sporadic fires began to appear in the south, north, east, and west of Xianyang.
It was the lights of thousands of homes lit by the people who had been busy all day.
Xianyang City, which had been noisy for a day, slowly fell silent, and the original surging flow of people on the spacious avenue was gradually dispersing in all directions of Xianyang City, each going back to his own house to find his own mother.
In the night, several fast horses galloped out of the Xianyang Palace, and on the bluestone-paved avenue, a few sparks burst out from time to time, which was the spark generated by the collision of the horseshoe and the bluestone".
In the misty night, you can vaguely see five knights wearing black robes and carrying packages on their backs whipping the horses under their crotches with a whip, galloping across the avenues of Xianyang City like a gallop.
As the horses galloped, under the reflection of the lights in the houses and liquor shops on both sides of the street, a few bits of golden light refracted from the waists of the five knights.
That's the five-sided golden Dragon Guard Mansion waist card!
The sparse and hurried flow of people in the streets heard the dull roar of horses' hooves that seemed to strike at people's hearts, and they hurried to avoid the two sides of the avenue.
In the brightly lit moat of the south gate of Xianyang City, the chief of the gate on duty heard the roar of the horse's hooves and just wanted to stop it, but his eyes were pierced by the golden light refracted by the gold medal held high by a knight in front of him.
A strong force came from behind him, and Shi Chang, who was covering his eyes and blocking the golden mang, fell backwards in embarrassment.
Five swift winds flashed across the long body. In the sound of clattering horses' hooves, sparks burst out from time to time, all the way towards Western Boulevard.
"Obediently, the guard of the Dragon Guard Mansion with the golden waist card!"
A familiar voice came from behind him, and the words that Shi Chang was about to scold suddenly swallowed back.
A while ago, when the Longwei Mansion and the Black Ice Terrace vigorously cracked down on the bullying of the ordinary people by the children of the nobles of various families in Guanzhong, the composition of the two mansions directly controlled by the emperor was basically very clear.
And the nobles of the Guanzhong family, as well as the three princes and nine kings of the court, and the various governments and offices obviously know much more than ordinary people.
Most of the people in Longwei Mansion and Black Ice Taizhong are black waist cards, but the patterns on the waist cards of the two mansions are different. Only the guards of the Dragon Guard Mansion who could often accompany the emperor's side were able to wear the golden waist card. And there is no such thing as a golden waist card in the Black Ice Table. This is the emperor's personal guard, the dead soldiers of the Longwei Mansion, and they can enter and exit the Xianyang Palace.
However, after returning from the emperor's personal conquest. Nowadays, not to mention the counties in Guanzhong, even Xianyang can hardly see the activities of the Longwei Mansion and the Black Ice Platform Dead Soldiers wearing special waist cards on their bodies.
And today, I was able to see five guards of the Dragon Guard Mansion wearing golden waist cards at the same time, and even the most idiotic officials knew that it was obvious that something big had happened in the court. Otherwise, he would not let the emperor's personal guards go out in person.
Judging from the direction in which these five Longwei Mansion dead soldiers were traveling, it was obvious that they were either heading to Longxi or Bashu. Since the emperor re-established the post stations on the main avenues. The post stations from Great Qin to Longxi and Bashu were the first to be rebuilt at the request of the emperor.
The general letter only needs to be delivered by the tongguo post guard.
At the same time as the hearts of the gatekeepers were thinking. At the same time, three letter eagles fluttered their wings from the brightly lit Xianyang Palace, plunged into the dark night, and disappeared in an instant.
That direction is also going to the west of Longxi.
……
August 20 of the second year of the Great Qin Dynasty.
The 40,000 cavalry of the Suzaku Army quietly left the Bashang camp more than 50 miles away from Xianyang. Hurry along the road of Xianyang out of Hanguguan. Three days later, after 40,000 cavalry of the Suzaku Army sent a letter to Guguan, they were divided into four. The two roads went north, one to the east, and one to the south, and scattered in all directions.
August 22, 2nd year of Great Qin II.
In the sequence of the central official system of the Great Qin, there is a silent addition of the Sanpin Qin Heavenly Supervisor. On the same day, an Astronomical Academy quietly appeared in the Great Qin Royal Academy, and dozens of disciples of the Yin and Yang Sect became the first batch of Astronomical Academy students.
Nowadays, the Royal Academy is no longer a place where anyone can enter. Even the disciples of several major sects of Confucianism, Taoism, and Mo wanted to enter the Royal Academy. They also have to go through the strict assessment of the Supervision Department of Zongzheng Mansion, and then they can only enter the college as students from the outer courtyard to listen to classes. There is not much difference between the students of the Outer College and those who are actually registered in the Royal Academy.
Whether it is the students of the outer courtyard or the students on the register, they are all arranged by the empire to arrange food and lodging, and even the clothes are all simple and generous black robes made by Shang Fang, the only difference is that the students of the outer courtyard do not have the badge of the Royal Academy on their chests.
Of course. The biggest difference is that the students of the outer courtyard cannot be included in the list of officials before the tongguo examination. Nor can they go out to teach in the counties.
The first day of the ninth month of the second year of the Great Qin II.
Hu Hai officially issued an edict to the world, abolishing the Zhuan Xiang calendar, and implementing the latest compilation of the Great Qin calendar. The year of the first emperor's birthday is the first year of the Great Qin calendar, that is, 259 BC is the first year of the Great Qin calendar. Now the second year of the Great Qin II is already the fifty-second year of the Great Qin calendar.
The new Great Qin calendar, on the basis of the original eight solar terms such as the beginning of spring, the spring equinox, the beginning of summer, the summer solstice, the beginning of autumn, the autumn equinox, the beginning of winter, and the winter solstice, has added 16 new solar terms to facilitate the people to arrange agricultural affairs.
The new Great Qin calendar begins with the first month of January, and ends the year with December, the month of wax. The last day of the lunar month is the Spring Festival. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, the second day of the sixth month is the National Memorial Day, the fifteenth day of August is the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion festival, the ninth day of the ninth month of September is the Double Ninth Festival, and the day when the first emperor ascended the throne and called the emperor October 25 is the national day of the empire.
The new Great Qin calendar was implemented throughout the Great Qin from the date of promulgation. From this day, the latest Daqin calendar was used as the signature for future inquiries.
The six latest official documents are also all registered using the latest Great Qin calendar for future inquiries.
……
Meng Kuo stood on the high mountain ridge and looked at the big river below that was galloping and roaring southward, touched the skull of the bare light, and frowned silently. Since his head was shaved, it has become a habit to touch his bare skull whenever he encounters difficulties.
Behind Meng Kuo is a straight and flat avenue, although it is not as wide as the Jiuyuan Straight Road, but this avenue can accommodate at least ten war horses walking side by side. But when the road came here, it encountered unprecedented difficulties.
The difficulty lies in the river that has carved the mountains into an almost impassable cliff. This big river has a famous name in later generations, called Lancang River!
