In May of the third year of creation, Yunlong County, Yunlong City.

In just two or three months, the world mutinied, and the situation was as unpredictable as clouds in the sky, and it was dizzyingly fast. In particular, the news of the rebel army everywhere kept reporting to Yunlong City.

Because of his self-proclaimed king, Chen Sheng, known as King Chen, shouted the slogan of "the prince will have a kind of Xiangning", which stimulated the ambition and desire of countless people, which is also one of the main reasons for the fire of uprisings everywhere in the land of China.

At this time, Jian Yan accompanied Qi Ji, Yu Ji and others, staying in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, which is in full bloom, like a paradise with beautiful and green water, enjoying the happiness and happiness of life.

"Ding Ding Dong ......"

The high mountains and flowing water, the crisp and pleasant pipa sound like the yellow oriole singing valley, echoing in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, endlessly surround the ears, and people can't help but indulge in it and find it difficult to extricate themselves.

With the crisp music reverberating and lingering, countless flowers in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers sprout, grow, bloom, wither, etc., constantly circling the life of plants, making people feel a little inexplicable when indulging in charming music and beautiful scenery.

At the same time, there are clouds and mist, in the clouds, birds and flowers, butterflies flying, dragonflies spread their wings, a fresh and pleasant scene.

"When ......"

At the end of the song, Qi Ji was as white as jade and held the strings with both hands, and the music echoed and reverberated for a long time......

"Do you remember what the concubine said when she first met the prince?"

Suddenly, Qi Ji turned his head to look at Jian Yan who was closing his eyes and enjoying the afterglow of the beautiful music, and asked in a soft tone...... The sword slammed his eyes open. looked at Qi Ji suspiciously, and didn't know what to say for a while.

When I first met Qi Ji, I seemed to have said a lot, who knows which one Qi Ji said?

"The troubles of flowers blooming and falling, the sighs of the clouds, and the sighs of the fleeting sunset...... Ten thousand laws are natural, everything has a certainty! Why not watch the flowers bloom and fall. Looking at the clouds and clouds, laughing at the sunset? ”

Qi Ji smiled, looking around with the sound of the pipa echoing and dissipating. And entering the withering stage at the end of the year, there are still those budding flower seedlings, muttering softly in a blurred voice.

Qi Ji has always been with Jian Yan. Information such as changes in the situation outside Yunlong County, Jian Yan knows, and she naturally knows a lot, and it also has a bit of metaphorical meaning.

"Want to hear the truth?" Jian Yan smiled and nodded, and asked.

Qi Ji blinked, looked at Jian Yan silently......

"You're thinking beyond the world, and you're right! However, in life, grass grows in autumn. Naturally, we should have an optimistic and enterprising attitude. Instead of holding the psychology that everything has a fixed number of laws! The so-called man will conquer the sky. That's it. ”

Jian Yan got up, looked at the boundless sky, and said solemnly.

"Huh?!"

Qi Ji, Yu Ji and other goddesses were stunned, and their thoughts were complicated and they looked at the arrogant and ambitious man in front of them. Silence.

"Smack, smack, slap......"

The women were silent, and there was a cool applause. Jiang Sheng, Xinling Jun, Pingyuan Jun, Tian Dan, Long Ji and other generals, who are usually busy, came hand in hand, and Xinling Jun's eyes lit up, and he said loudly:

"What the lord said is very true! Regardless of whether there is really a definite number for everything, the so-called man will win the day. I don't care if I have to fight, whether I have to fight, and I have no regrets in life! ”

Since the last time he made a deal with Zhang Chushi, the lord has lived in seclusion in Wanhua Valley most of the time, saying that he is waiting for the day of completion of the "mausoleum", but he does not care about the situation in the world outside the county, and every time the generals see the lord, they are enjoying the joy of Tao Ran or the warmth of home in a leisurely and comfortable manner.

This made the generals of Wu Huan quite worried, and they were afraid that the lord would stay in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers for a long time, and he would be too happy and lose his enterprising, excited, and hegemonic heart.

Now, listening to what the lord said, the worries of the generals of Wu Huan have suddenly disappeared.

Qi Ji's words were naturally indirectly advising the sword to die. And Jian Yan's words were indirectly telling the generals of Wu Huan.

"It's rare for everyone to gather like this, it seems that it's not idle and nothing to do, but the situation has developed greatly?"

Jian Yan did not respond to Xinlingjun's words, but beckoned everyone into the pavilion and asked.

Although the huge project of the "Mausoleum of the First Emperor" was built at the bottom of the Wanhua Valley, it will definitely hollow out the entire Wanhua Valley in time. However, Jian Yan and Qi Ji did not carry out a major transformation of Wanhua Valley, and waited for the construction of palaces on a large scale.

It was simply a building complex of thousands of square meters, with only a dozen rooms, three pavilions, two Yuhu and one council hall. The rest is mainly based on flowers and trees, rockery and flowing water, etc., the greening rate is as high as 90% or more, even the wall has not been built, when the huge project of the first emperor's mausoleum is started, half a month has been built by the way.

"The lord is wise, and he is indeed clever!"

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, is accustomed to taking the lead in flattery.

Because in recent months, every time the generals have something to report, they have not let the women avoid it. Therefore, this time, the generals didn't care, and they all entered the pavilion directly, or sat or stood in the pavilion.

"Tell my lord! After three months of day and night work, the Imperial Mausoleum project was finally completed. At the same time, Zhang Chu, on behalf of Lu Chen, has repeatedly urged our side to make a transaction, and three days ago, Zhang Chu had already won the ...... of the lord's office Along the Dabie Mountain Range and the Yangtze River Basin, from the northeast to the southwest, this territory of Hengshan County can be handed over to us at any time! ”

After the generals stood still, Jiang Sheng quickly went straight to the point and reported.

"Oh?!"

Jian Yan's eyelids jumped, and he was not as happy as everyone imagined, but pondered and calmly responded.

According to the arrangement before the death of the sword, when the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was completed, it was the time when Wu Huan took over Hengshan County and sent troops to Lingnan in an all-round way.

Therefore, when the generals learned that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was finally completed, they naturally rushed to come no matter how busy they were, and tried their best to appear in front of the lord, so that when the lord arranged the armies from all walks of life, they would remember them, otherwise how could they have a chance to make contributions?!

"As for the laborers...... Now we are on the occasion of employing people......"

There was no surprise when I saw the sword death, but fell into deep thought. Jiang Sheng's face changed slightly. I couldn't bear to say it, but I didn't finish it.

According to the rules from ancient times to the present, especially at the end of the Qin Dynasty and before, these laborers who participated in the imperial mausoleum project all had to be buried together, that is, martyred, which is an unchanging tradition.

But. This time, because the sword was dead and everyone was asked to rush to work at full speed, Yunlong County continued to increase the number of laborers in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, from 50,000 to 100,000 at the beginning. By the middle of the million, until now, the number has been as high as three million. It almost fills the internal space of the "Wuhuan Mausoleum".

The total population of Yunlong County is now more than 20 million, and if these laborers are buried alive, the direct loss of the population base will be more than one-tenth, and the vast majority of them are young and middle-aged, and the relationship can involve the small half of the family registration in Yunlong County.

In addition, because the order of King Wuhuan is more special, the use of the construction of the "Wuhuan Mausoleum" is also relatively special, so the construction speed of the imperial tomb is extremely fast, compared with the examples of ancient and modern construction of the imperial tomb. It's a special case.

It's just that, thinking of the funeral tradition, although everyone is a little unbearable, if the lord insists, he can't say anything.

"Lord ......"

Yu Ji, who hadn't thought about it that way yet. Seeing Jiang Sheng propose, Jian Yan did not respond, he was still silent in thought, and he couldn't help but lose his face, looking at Jian Yan in disbelief and exclaiming.

In fact, at that time, when the construction of "Wuhuan Mausoleum" started. The vast majority of people thought of this possibility.

However, based on their understanding of the character of the lord, and the lord did not mention this. Therefore, all the generals, including the women, took it for granted that Jian Yan would not do this, and some of the generals also swore an oath to those laborers.

This is also the main reason why the number of laborers participating in the "Wuhuan Tomb" this time has reached 3 million. If it weren't for the construction of the Wuhuan Mausoleum, this number would have surged several times; If it weren't for the generals who swore that the lord would not be buried, there would not be so many people involved.

"Since it's a tradition, let's do it!"

Seeing that Jian Yan was silent, Qi Ji's face changed several times, and her heart was full of contradictions.

"Sister?!"

"Ma'am?!"

Qi Ji, Gao Hong, Jiang Qing, Jiang Sheng and the others all changed their faces, and they looked at Qi Ji in surprise and disbelief and shouted.

With their understanding of Qi Ji, Mrs. is shrewd and wise, scheming, but also tolerant and benevolent.

This is still the main reason why everyone has more contact with Qi Ji, in Yunlong County, all the people regard Qi Ji and Yu Ji as the myths and legends of the "Guanyin Bodhisattva" who saves the suffering and saves the suffering, and is compassionate and compassionate, and even many families still hang pictures to worship.

It was Qi Ji who provided them with basic living materials and kept them fed; It was Yu Ji who restored their mental strength and treated various diseases for them many times.

The image of compassion and benevolence of the two women can be described as comparable.

Unexpectedly, now Qi Ji would say this, it was really unexpected. is obviously not a "sycophant", but always likes to flatter the lord, and Zhao Sheng, the plain monarch with doubtful behavior, also looked at Qi Ji in surprise, he also wanted to say this before, but he didn't dare and couldn't bear it.

"What is the Terracotta Army? If no one sacrifices, how can the terracotta warriors and horses come?! What's the use of spending so much manpower, material resources, and financial resources to build such a huge project? This matter is decided by the concubine, and it happens that this place is in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, so let's reply to the general public in the name of the concubine! ”

Qi Ji was bitter in her heart, her eyes were as soft as water and looked at Jian Yan, and then resolutely looked at Jiang Sheng and commanded, but the delicate and perfect pretty face was quite pale, and the pink fist hidden in the sleeve was clenched extremely tightly.

"Huh?"

Hearing Qi Ji say this, everyone present, including Jian Yan, looked at Qi Ji in surprise and shock.

In addition to having a complicated mind, I also felt admiration and respect for Qi Ji's dedication......

Three million laborers!

Not 300,000, 30,000, not captives or surrenders, but the people of Yunlong County.

After this incident, not only Qi Ji's reputation was ruined, but it is estimated that Qi Ji's position as the main mother will be difficult to keep.

After all, in the future, the people of King Wuhuan will not allow such a ruthless master mother to honor the world.

Thinking of this, Jiang Sheng, Yu Ji, Gao Hong, Jiang Yao and others, who had previously thought that Qi Ji was like a ghost and had a deep heart, couldn't help but feel ashamed.

It was the sword death, and this time I also had a new understanding of Qi Ji.

As a top historical beauty, Qi Ji in the history of the alien can defeat countless beauties, and is favored by Han Gaozu alone, and her scheming methods are naturally very strong. And he was evaluated by the history as a low-born background, didn't know how to ignore the overall situation, and won over the ministers, etc.

Before, Jian Yan was quite puzzled, but now, he finally understands!
