Daqian Dynasty, Qinchuan County, Hanyang City

At this moment, Hanyang City is sacrificing to the Temple of Heaven, crowded with people, bustling, and is holding the most important ceremony of the year to worship the heavens - the first month of spring!

As the beginning of the year, the importance of the festival can be imagined.

For the superstitious feudal ancient society, this kind of related to the wind and rain, the country and the people's peace of the sacrifice ceremony, even if it is luxurious and cumbersome, it is not an exaggeration to be grand!

Even Qinchuan County, which is poor and barren, does not dare to be sloppy in the construction of the Temple of Heaven, and strictly builds it in accordance with the requirements of the etiquette system.

Therefore, if you look at the entire city of Hanyang and have to find a building that can be handled, I am afraid that only this altar of worship is left.

The high building specifications, the extravagance of the materials used, and the length of the man-hours are far beyond the county government and other official offices!

Even compared to the altar of the country in the capital of Xijing, it is much the same, and there is no fault in the slightest.

The only difference is only the size of the floor space.

But the specifications and etiquette are all in the same vein, exactly the same!

Of course, the sacrificial animals that were supposed to be prepared – 28 cows, 33 sheep, 34 pigs, 2 deer, and 12 rabbits – were reduced accordingly.

But even so, for Qin Chuan, who was already poor, it was already a luxury to take out so many livestock as sacrifices at one time.

"The auspicious time has arrived~~~!"

With a high chant suddenly sounded, Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, who was dressed in royal clothes, wearing a jade crown on his head, and had a solemn face, was under the guidance of the ceremonial officials, rigorous and serious, and carried out a series of ceremonies to worship the heavens one by one.

From 'reminding', to 'purifying livestock', to 'saving livestock', to 'performing rituals', to 'fasting', to 'incense', to 'seeing beans', to 'seeing animals', to 'saluting', and finally to 'Qingcheng'.

This series of complicated, lengthy, and extremely complicated process rituals came down, but it really tossed Zhao Zheng, who was still a little novel, enough.

However, he also knew that the sacrificial ceremony was very important, and he didn't dare to be careless, even if he was impatient, he still endured and completed the process according to the etiquette system.

After the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens was finally completed, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"This set of processes has come down...... It's really tiring! ”

Seeing this situation, Zhao Qian, the king of Song on the side, couldn't help but chuckle and joked.

"The ritual is tiring, but I don't know how many people ...... Do you want to have such an opportunity? ”

"Harm~, but the imperial brother is joking, no matter how respectful this throne is...... Isn't it impossible to get into the eyes of the royal brother at all? ”

Zhao Zheng waved his hand again and again, and said in the same joking.

"Hehe, how can you be as otherworldly as you think...... It's just that I underestimate a lot of things in the world......"

Zhao Qian shook his head lightly, and said as if he didn't care too much.

"This ......"

Zhao Zheng was stunned, but he didn't know how to speak.

After all, he was just a layman himself, so he naturally couldn't understand the superhuman state of mind and thoughts of the Sixth Emperor Brother.

"Ninth brother, do you know that you are a brother in this life...... Who is the most admired person? ”

Zhao Qian turned his head, looked at the ninth brother Zhao Zheng scratching his head in a daze, and couldn't help but smile and said.

"Oh? But who? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zheng really became a little interested.

"There are only two people who admire my brother in this life, and one of them is ...... It is the god of Nanyang Jingshen - Mr. Zuo! ”

Speaking of this, the corners of Zhao Qian's mouth couldn't help but outline a smile, and his face naturally showed admiration.

"Mr. Zuo?"

Zhao Zheng suddenly bowed his head when he heard this, obviously this answer was not unexpected.

The respect of the six emperor brothers for Mr. Zuo was the first time he took the initiative to visit Mr. Zuo after he entered Qin, and he could get a glimpse of it when he had nothing to do in the school palace.

Therefore, this answer is also reasonable.

"The reason why my brother admires Mr. Zuo is not only because of his knowledge and conduct, but also because of his ...... It is the heart that has never been extinguished by Zuo Lao, although he was born in a poor family! ”

Zhao Qian's face showed a look of expression, and he said with emotion.

"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family...... But it is precisely because of this that a person's will and determination can be sharpened even more! ”

After saying that, Zhao Qian couldn't help but clench his fists and said with regret on his face.

"This kind of life experience from low to high, from humble to respectful, from nothing to something...... But it is the most precious spiritual wealth in a person's life! ”

Hearing this, even Zhao Zheng, who thought he was adhering to the mentality of Xianyu, couldn't help but bow his head slightly and said in a voice.

"yes...... The edge of the sword is sharpened! The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold ......"

He was accustomed to quoting aphorisms and poems that were familiar to later generations, but he didn't expect to say it so casually, but Zhao Qian, who was shocked, was suddenly stunned on the spot, looking at the ninth brother with a stunned expression.

"The edge of the sword is sharpened...... The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold ......"

Zhao Qian muttered and repeated these two life mottos, but the more he tasted it, the more he felt that the rhyme was long, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the words were capable!

"Ninth brother, I didn't expect you to ...... I can still sum up such a deep understanding! ”

He couldn't help but look at the ninth brother Zhao Zheng in surprise, he never thought that the ninth brother said casually, but it was so amazing!

"Uh......"

Zhao Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that these two sentences should not have appeared in this world, so he caused the six emperor brothers to be so stunned.

"Harm~ It's just casual nonsense, nonsense......"

He immediately waved his hand again and again, and he was really a little crying and laughing.

"Ninth brother! Just casual nonsense can be used to understand this...... You're amazing! ”

Zhao Qian, who has profound literary attainments, how can he treat these two sentences as casual nonsense?

He immediately shook his head, and said with admiration on his face,

It's just two sentences, but I completely express the meaning I want to express!

Between the lines, it is full of bursts of amazing talent!

"Don't, don't, the royal brother must not torture me! Oh yes...... Brother Huang, didn't you say that the most admired people in this life, a total of two? ”

When Zhao Zheng heard this, he immediately waved his hand again and again, and then his heart moved, and he quickly changed the topic.

"I don't know who the other person is. Can it be compared with Mr. Zuo? ”

Zhao Qian smiled when he heard this, but said in a mysterious whisper.

"This person ...... When my brother traveled to Dali, he met a rare genius for thousands of years! ”

"What? A rare ...... for a thousand years Genius? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zheng was shocked!

But he never thought that such a gentle and humble person as the Sixth Emperor Brother would make such an exaggerated judgment from his mouth!

A genius who has rarely been seen for thousands of years?

Such comments...... But can you say it at will?

Fortunately, it was said from the mouth of the Sixth Emperor Brother Zhao Qian, if it was someone else, Zhao Zheng would naturally look at this person with a suspicious gaze!

"Not bad! Such comments for my brother are not lies! ”

Zhao Qian saw that the ninth brother Zhao Zheng had a different look on his face, and immediately said with a solemn affirmation.

"All along, my brother has been quite proud of his talent and talent! But if it is compared to this man......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Qian couldn't help but shake his head slightly and sighed sincerely.

"It's still far from being a brother!"

"This ......"

Zhao Zheng had an incredible look on his face, obviously he never thought that the Sixth Emperor Brother would admit that he was inferior!

Not even a slight gap, but a naked distance......

How can such a statement not be surprising?

"I never thought that there was such a genius in the world......"

Zhao Zheng naturally had no doubts about the comments of the six emperor brothers, and immediately shook his head with emotion.

In my heart, I was very moved, and I couldn't help but think about it.

If it is such an immortal talent as the Sixth Emperor Brother said, how good it would be to be able to use it for me......

"What? Is the ninth brother also interested in such talents? ”

Seeing this, Zhao Qian's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"That's nature...... It's just that Qin Chuan is so barren that it's just wishful thinking! ”

Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head again and again.

How many catties and taels can his little Qin country have, but he is not clear enough as a monarch?

How could such a genius who has rarely been born for thousands of years go to this small Qin country in a border county?

"Haha! There is no certainty in the things of the world! Why do you have to give up on yourself like this? ”

Zhao Qian couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but he gently patted the ninth brother's shoulder, and said comfortingly.

"Maybe someday...... Such a talented person will take the initiative to send it to the door, but maybe it's not enough? ”

"Harm~ Brother Huang, don't make fun of me!"

Zhao Zhengdeng smiled and waved his hand again and again.

"I am how virtuous and capable I can make this genius in the mouth of the emperor...... What about abandoning Dali and voting for weak Qin? ”

Zhao Qian shook his head suddenly, immediately restrained his smile, and said with a serious face.

"Ninth brother, don't be presumptuous! At least in my brother's heart......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Qian couldn't help but hold the hands of the ninth brother and said with solemn emotion.

"You are the brother in this life...... The third admirer! ”

When Zhao Zheng heard this, he was speechless......

……

"Towering Kyushu, Lang China, there are words about the world's talents!

However, in my opinion, the world is like a stone!

Then Wei Martingale has eight buckets, and I and the King of Qin also have half a bucket, and we have a total of one bucket since ancient times and today! ”
