Winter goes to spring.

Gu Ming's new work "Qin Shi Mingyue" once again set off a craze in the Great Yan Dynasty.

This work is adapted by Gu Ming from an animation of the same name that he saw in his previous life.

The background of the story is the era of a hundred schools of thought.

Among them, the most representative are Confucianism, Taoism, Moism, Legalism, Yin and Yang, famous families, peasant families, vertical and horizontal families, military families, and medical families......

The controversy of hundreds of schools of thought is the most brilliant time in Chinese history, and many saints or sub-saints have emerged.

For example, Confucius, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Xunzi, Mencius, Mozi, Guiguzi...... Wait a minute.

However, at that time, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period had come to an end, and the powerful Qin State had successively destroyed the six kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi, and established the Great Qin Empire.

King Yingzheng of Qin believed that his merits surpassed the three emperors and five emperors in history, so he was called the emperor.

However, the people of the six destroyed countries were unwilling and organized themselves against Great Qin, and the story began......

The protagonist's name is Jing Tianming, and his father is the world's famous hero Jing Ke, and his real identity is one of the leaders of the Mo family.

Jing Tianming's mother, Liji, is a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, and has a very deep relationship with Jing Ke's childhood sweetheart.

It was precisely because of her beauty that she caused trouble and was taken captive by King Qin into Xianyang Palace.

Liki wanted to kill herself to save her innocence, but she found out ...... She actually had Jing Ke's flesh and blood in her stomach.

In order to keep the child, Liji can only endure the humiliation and commitment, in order to find an opportunity to escape.

King Qin also treated her well, and after Liji gave birth to her son, King Qin did not embarrass their mother and son, and still loved her.

However, his favor is a torment for Liji. Because there has always been only one man in Liji's heart.

If it weren't for her son, she would have assassinated King Qin a long time ago.

Later, Jing Ke was entrusted by Yan Dan, the prince of Yan State, and in order to enter the Qin Palace to rescue his wife and children, after some careful planning, he infiltrated the Qin Palace to assassinate the King of Qin in the name of offering treasures.

Next to Yi Shui, Jing Ke chanted loudly, "The wind is sluggish, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return" and strode away.

As a result, the well-planned assassination operation still failed, and Jing Ke and Li Ji both died in the main hall of the Qin Palace......

After that, Jing Ke's confidant and friend, Gai Nie Yi Bo Yuntian, known as the Sword Saint, fled all the way with his friend's son Jing Tianming under the pursuit of the Great Qin Iron Cavalry......

Gai Nie fell into a coma because of his injuries, and then Tianming and Xiang Shaoyu, a descendant of the Xiang clan of Chu State, took Gai Nie to a secret stronghold of the Mo family to treat Gai Nie's injuries.

Here, Gai Nie and Tianming met the most important woman in their lives: Duanmu Rong, one of the leaders of the Mo family, who was originally from a medical family and was known as a medical immortal, and Princess Gao Yue, the daughter of the prince of Yan Kingdom.

A wonderful dispute between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes, as well as the various forces in the rivers and lakes, slowly unfolded......

However, although there is a lot of content in the story, this "Qin Shi Mingyue" is not, but is sold in a different way of comic books than before.

Gu Ming calls this style comics.

In the past, the style of comic books tended to be realistic, and there was a lot of text.

The painting style of "Qin Shi Mingyue" is obviously much simpler, and the character modeling has also changed a lot, which is called "cartoonish" in later words.

In this set of "Qin Mingyue" comics, Gu Ming has greatly reduced the text content, and there are many pictures with only a few words, or even no words, but the content of the story is expressed through the expressions of the characters or scenes.

In fact, narrative in Israel has been around since ancient times.

At that time, there was no written language, so people recorded some major events in the form of paintings.

Over time, hieroglyphs were formed.

The reason why Gu Ming used comics to launch "Qin Shi Mingyue" is firstly, considering that the literacy rate of the people is not high, and secondly, he also wants to diversify the way of cultural dissemination.

For the current environment, comics are easier to popularize than regular books, and it is easier for ordinary people to accept.

Gu Ming deliberately reduced a large amount of text, trying to tell the story through character shapes, expressions, and scenes.

As long as you know a little bit of literacy, it will hardly have an impact.

Even, even if you don't know a word, just looking at the picture, this "Qin Shi Mingyue" can make people look at it with relish.

Therefore, as soon as this set of comics was launched, it triggered a wave of rush to buy.

Not only adults like to watch it, but children also like it...... It's suitable for all ages.

Of course, in other words, this is also due to Gu Ming's current fame and status, as long as it is his work, whether it is a painting, or a poem, as long as it is launched, it will be popular.

Not only the Great Yan Dynasty, but also the surrounding countries, Gu Ming's name is almost a household name, and he is known as the great Confucian of the world.

Soon after the release of the manga, the second phase of the academy was officially completed, and at the same time, it also ushered in a wave of registration.

Although the scale of the academy has expanded a lot this time, the selection conditions are still very strict in line with the principle of preferring shortage to excess.

After nearly half a year of selection, about 800 students were finally selected.

However, this is only the first batch, and the second and third batches will be selected later.

According to the current scale of the college, the number of students is about 1,500.

At the same time, many people in Montenegro have moved here one after another, so that Montenegro, which has been silent for many years, has finally begun to have the atmosphere of fireworks in the world.

Of course, the people do not say that they can move if they want to, they must first get Gu Ming's permission, and then report to the government before they can move their families.

……

this night.

Gu Ming had nothing to do, so he couldn't help but come to the top of the highest peak in Montenegro and sit cross-legged, closing his eyes and meditating and forgetting the scriptures.

This set of meditation and forgetfulness is created by him, and it is divided into nine folds.

The first weight: it can play a role in quenching the body.

The second level: Consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, open up the meridians and points in the body, and begin to absorb the aura of heaven and earth.

The third is to cultivate both self-cultivation and mind cultivation to lay a solid foundation for the next step of opening up the sea of qi.

Fourth: Open up the sea of qi to hold more aura.

Fifth: Getting better.

Sixth: Divine power realm, after reaching this realm, you can go out of your body and wander between heaven and earth.

Seventh: transcendent realm, free from the shackles of heaven and earth, with a lifespan far beyond ordinary people, and extraordinary power.

Gu Ming is in this realm now.

In other words, the eighth and ninth levels already belong to the realm of the Red Dust Immortal, and even Gu Ming has not yet entered this realm.

Therefore, what the eighth and ninth layers are specifically, Gu Ming has no way to determine now, unless he enters the corresponding realm.

After cultivating for a while, a string of system information suddenly appeared in Gu Ming's mind......

[The heavens have come]

[World: Qin Shi Mingyue]

[Entrance: Kunlun Snow Peak]

Seeing such system information, Gu Ming couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

Because, in the past, it was the heavenly figures who descended on the current world, but this time the whole world actually came?

In fact, Gu Ming had also thought about this question before, because when he first got the system, the system had a hint, saying that the characters and scenes of the heavens could come to the current world.

Therefore, Gu Ming had been thinking about how the Heavenly Scene had been integrated into the current world, and now it had finally come to fruition.

The Kunlun realm is indeed the only choice, because the Kunlun realm itself is a spatial channel, connecting the three worlds of heaven, earth and man.

And the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth and Man is just a general statement, and I don't know how many large and small worlds, middle thousands, and small worlds are hidden.

And the world of the heavens is theoretically a small world.

"It's kind of interesting......"

Gu Ming couldn't help muttering to himself.

Speaking of which, the reason why Gu Ming launched the comic Qin Shi Mingyue was also because of his love for this animation in his previous life.

Of course, there must be dissatisfaction, but it's too sadistic, the villains are stronger than the other, one is smarter than the other, and almost from beginning to end, it's not very pleasant.

But it's understandable.

After all, although this is an animation, it is not completely fictional, but is adapted from the rise and fall of the Great Qin Empire.

As a result, the fate of a group of anti-Qin people was doomed.

The plot direction of the animation is almost in accordance with the rise and fall of Daqin, and several key villains, although they are hateful, are always alive and kicking, and they can't be killed......

On the contrary, the decent side died one after another......

No way, because many of the characters in the play are adapted from real people in history, so their fate is also determined by history.

But this time, Gu Ming had the opportunity to go to Qin Shi Mingyue World in person, so it was up to him.

Anyway, it is also a small world, a world that exists independently, even if everything is changed, it will not affect the rules of the Heavenly Dao, and it will not affect the process of the real world.

With such a wonderful world, it is natural to have a lot of beautiful people to play together.

Unexpectedly, another message popped up in my mind:

[The Qin Shi Mingyue World is limited to dimensional reasons, and only one host is allowed to enter and exit, including the props carried, and only the system props]

"This ......"

Seeing this information, Gu Ming felt quite powerless to complain.

That's it, the system is not human anyway, and it is useless to reason with it. Besides, the system simply can't communicate happily.

So, Gu Ming immediately returned home to find his wife.

"Xiaoqian, I'm going to go out."

"Oh? Where are you going? How long will it take? ”

Nie Xiaoqian asked subconsciously.

"Go to a special place...... Qin Shi Mingyue World. ”

"Huh? Qin Shi Mingyue...... Is that the world of the comic you draw? ”

Nie Xiaoqian was a little surprised.

"That's right, this time, for some reason, the whole world has descended...... Originally, I wanted to take you with me, but in the end, I realized that you couldn't get in at all. ”

Regarding the system, although Gu Ming did not explicitly identify it with his wife, he also cleverly used a method to imply, saying that it was a special magic weapon.

"That's right...... It's a pity......" Although Nie Xiaoqian was a little disappointed, she also expressed her understanding: "It's okay husband, since we can't go, you can go if you want."

By the way, what I hate the most is that Zhao Gao, and I must not let that guy go after my husband goes. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, since I'm going, I'll definitely deal with those annoying guys one by one."

Gu Ming smiled confidently.

Although there are many masters in the bright moon of the Qin Dynasty, especially the guy from the Yin and Yang family who calls himself "Donghuang Taiyi", he is even more mysterious and hidden.

However, whether it is according to the original animation or the comic settings written by Gu Ming, these masters are still not enough in Gu Ming's eyes.

To put it simply, when he arrived in the Qin Shi Mingyue World, with his strength, he could easily dominate the world.

After that, Gu Ming found his mother-in-law, Yu'er, Snake Ji, Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, Ying Ning, etc., and went to the academy to explain before leaving.

However, he did not go directly to Kunlun, but went to the capital.

On weekdays, Gu Ming has to go to the palace from time to time to give lectures, and this time when he went to Qin, Mingyue didn't know how long he would stay, so it was necessary to greet the emperor.

"See the emperor!"

As soon as they met, Gu Ming stepped forward to salute first.

"Sir, don't be polite!"

Emperor Yongping hurriedly stepped forward with a respectful demeanor.

The change of title also illustrates the change in the mentality of Emperor Yongping.

used to regard Gu Ming as a minister, so he has always been called Aiqing.

And now, the Great Yan Dynasty has ushered in unprecedented glory, and the world's evaluation of Emperor Yongping has surpassed that of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and he is regarded as an ancient emperor.

In this regard, Emperor Yongping knew in his heart that he could have today's great achievements, and Gu Ming contributed a lot.

In Emperor Yongping's mind, Gu Ming is definitely not an ordinary person, maybe he is the reincarnation of a saint, and he specially went down to earth to assist him to become a generation of Ming monarchs.

Therefore, his title unconsciously changed to Mr. to show his respect for Gu Ming.

After the two sat down, Gu Ming got straight to the point and said: "Your Majesty, the minister will go out for a tour, and the return date is uncertain, so I came to inform the emperor." ”

"Oh...... It's okay, Mr. cultivation is important, I can understand. In this way, I set up a banquet to accompany Mr. to drink a few glasses in the evening, which can be regarded as a meal for Mr. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Gu Ming didn't refuse Emperor Yongping's kindness, and he wasn't in a hurry anyway.

After that, Gu Ming accompanied Emperor Yongping for a long time to chat about the current situation and the direction of future development.

What Gu Ming has adopted is a step-by-step approach, allowing the Great Yan Dynasty to develop steadily and step by step.

These ideas all come from the summary of history by later generations, to put it bluntly, it is to bypass the detour and go straight to the right direction, and the development is much more natural and faster.

In short, what Gu Ming advocated was the all-round development of scholars, agriculture, industry, and commerce, and more exchanges and contacts with neighboring countries, so as to broaden their horizons and be more conducive to promoting the development of the Great Yan Dynasty.

At the same time, many plans have also been put forward in the rectification of officials, such as completely abolishing the system of donating officials, and comprehensively improving the imperial court's supervision system for local governments, so as to prevent local officials from covering the sky with one hand.

"Your Majesty, judging from the current development of the Great Yan Dynasty, the minister feels that it is necessary to break the system of imperial power not going to the countryside since ancient times......"

There are many reasons why the imperial power did not go to the countryside for many reasons, but the most important reason was the financial problem.

In order not to increase the burden on the treasury, the imperial court naturally tried to reduce the number of officials. If the countryside also has to send officials, the number is a bit huge.

Therefore, since ancient times, the countryside has generally adopted the autonomy of the gentry, or clan autonomy.

"This ...... But sir, if officials are sent from the countryside, the treasury will be a little tight. ”

"That's right, doing so will indeed increase the burden on the imperial court. However, the difficulties are only temporary, and with the steady development of the Great Yan Dynasty, the treasury will only become more and more abundant, and there is no need to worry about this expenditure at all.

The disadvantages of rural autonomy are enormous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can almost be called a place outside the law.

The family law replaced the national law, and many people were executed for violating family rules and clan rules.

And these people who were put to death may not have violated the law at all, or even the so-called clan rules, but only because of the conflict of interests between the clans.

Since they are all the people of Dayan, they should first obey the laws of the current dynasty, rather than replacing the laws of the court with family laws and clan rules.

If officials are not stationed in the countryside and remain self-governed, then this phenomenon will always exist.

In this way, what sense of belonging do the people have?

In their eyes, they can't discern the true meaning of the country at all, because they only know the home, but not the country.

It's a little closer to the city, but in some remote places, I'm afraid there are still people who don't even know what dynasty it is......"

After a long discussion, Emperor Yongping fell into contemplation.

As the old saying goes: Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister.

However, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, but it led to the fact that the countryside became a zone beyond the reach of the imperial court, and the squires also became the local emperors......

This is indeed a heart disease of the imperial court, a great drawback.

In fact, Emperor Yongping knew about these drawbacks, but all dynasties did this, and he never thought of changing this status quo.

Now as soon as Gu Ming talked about it, his heart began to shake more or less.

It's easy to solve this problem, the key is silver......

"Your Majesty, there is no need to rush this matter, the emperor can ask people to plan first, see how many personnel are needed, and how much silver taels will be spent in a year, so as to have a good idea.

When the time is ripe, we will find another place to try it out, and after accumulating successful experience, it will not be too late to slowly implement it nationwide. ”

"Yes, yes, this is a good solution, hahaha!"

That night, Emperor Yongping set a table of sumptuous imperial meals to entertain Gu Ming, and the queen and the crown prince also sat down and drank a few glasses together.

In order to help the wine, Emperor Yongping also specially invited court musicians and dancing girls to perform, in short, the guests were happy.

After the banquet was dispersed, Gu Ming left the palace and came to the Yasukuni Mansion.

This can be regarded as a kind of normality, every time he comes to the capital, Gu Ming will choose the Yasukuni Mansion as a foothold.

Because Gu Mingnai is a special guest here, the Luo family specially prepared a room for him, and someone will clean it carefully every day whether he is there or not.

First of all, Gu Ming is also a national prince, and his status is on par with that of the Yasukuni Gong, but his reputation is even greater than that of the Yasukuni Gong.

The most important reason is that the people in Luofu have long regarded Gu Ming as their own family.

Although the two were not officially engaged, Gu Ming said in front of Mrs. Luo that he would marry Luo Yan sooner or later.

Luo Yan also said in front of her mother that she would not marry anyone except Gu Ming.

The reason why the two have not married for a long time is just waiting for a suitable time.

In short, the Luo family has long treated Gu Ming as a future uncle.

Including people from the outside world, there were many people who admired Luo Yan's beauty and talent and her family background, so people often asked matchmakers to come to propose marriage.

Now, everyone knows that Luo Yan is Gu Ming's future woman, who would dare to ask for a marriage if she is bored?

Not to mention ordinary powerful disciples, even the little prince doesn't have the guts.

After entering the Guogong Mansion, Gu Ming drove to the backyard on the west side.

Luo Yan had a good heart, and she had already stepped down from the embroidery building one step in advance, standing in the courtyard and waiting.

"Yeon'......"

Gu Ming stepped forward with a smile and gently hugged her into his arms.

The maid in the courtyard consciously withdrew from the hospital.

Luo Yan snuggled in Gu Ming's arms and asked softly, "How many days are you going to stay this time?" ”

"Leave tomorrow morning!"

"Huh? In such a hurry? Something to do when you go back? ”

"No, I'm going somewhere to ......"

Gu Ming took Luo Yan's hand and sat down on the edge of the stone table and talked about the reason.

"I see...... It's a pity that I can't go with you......"

"No way, I'm the only one who can enter and leave that world."

"Well, then you have to be careful, don't be careless, especially the spells of the Yin and Yang family."

Luo Yan has read the comics, so she naturally knows some things.

Gu Ming smiled and said, "It's okay, although the Yin and Yang family's spells are powerful, they are only a spiritual attack method, have you forgotten what I am best at?" ”

"Yes, but ...... Be careful, and don't forget that there are so many people waiting for you outside. ”

"Well, I'll be careful."

After chatting for a long time, Gu Ming subconsciously looked up at the sky and said, "It's not early, you go to rest, I'll go back to the room first." ”

"Oh~"

Luo Yan responded, but grabbed Gu Ming's hand and didn't let go.

"What's wrong? Do you have anything else to say? ”

Luo Yan bit her lip, lowered her head shyly and whispered, "Or...... Why don't you ...... tonight? Upstairs ......"

As soon as he heard this, Gu Ming's heart couldn't help but move.

His mind suddenly came to the scene of the world in the painting, full of peach blossoms.

Although it sounds like a dream when I think about it now, it was at that time that his body and mind were tied to Luo Yan.

"Well, go upstairs!"

Gu Ming subconsciously looked around, and then took Luo Yan's hand and went up to the embroidery building together.

The night breeze is smoky, and the moonlight is just right......

Before dawn on the second day, Gu Ming returned to his exclusive room.

You have to pretend, don't you?

waited until it was dark, then began to wash, and then found Luo Yan again, and went to meet Old Man Luo and Yan's parents together.

After breakfast, Fang Cai said goodbye to Luo Yan and left the capital to go to Kunlun.

……

Space-time transformation.

Qin Shi Mingyue World.

Daqin, the coast of the East China Sea, the land of Qilu.

There is a beautiful seaside city here, called Songhai City.

On the top of the mountain near the sea in the west of the city, there is a world-famous mountain villa: Little Sage Village.

This village is the holy land of Confucianism today, and the great Confucian Xunzi, known as the "post-sage", lives in seclusion in this village.

The owner of Xiaoshengxian Village is named "Fu Nian", and he is also the head of Confucianism today.

And Xiaoshengxianzhuang has three family members, in addition to the head of Fu Nian, there are also two masters Yan Lu, and three masters Zhang Liang.

Right now, Little Sage Village has welcomed a group of special guests......

The leader is Li Si, the prime minister of Great Qin.

In fact, this guy was also born in Confucianism, and studied under Xunzi in his early years, and he was the same brother as Han Fei.

It's just that Li Si is insidious, and he does not hesitate to frame his fellow disciples for his own future, so he disgusts Xunzi, and no longer recognizes Li Si as his disciple, but only recognizes Han Fei.

Li Si came here, ostensibly to visit Xiaoshengxian Village with his old feelings, but in fact, he was not good.

In addition to a large number of soldiers and horses to follow, there were also Gongsun Linglong, who came from a famous family and was known as a sophist genius, and two disciples of the Yin and Yang family.

An old man with white beards, known as Chu Nangong, the sage of Chu Land.

The other was short in stature, like a dwarf, but the whole person looked cold and strange. This person is the fourth person in the Yin-Yang family: the Left Dharma Protector Star Soul.

With such a lineup, where is it like to come to visit? It is clear that he came to the Little Sage Village to find fault.

To put it bluntly, Li Si just wants to take this opportunity to show his prestige, and at the same time, he is not without the intention of threatening and suppressing......

If you can make them surrender, it is best to use them for your own use.

Otherwise, there are only some means to show loyalty in front of the emperor.

After all, he was also born in Confucianism, and once Confucianism disobeys the emperor's wishes, then the emperor will inevitably act against Confucianism in order to eliminate hidden dangers.

Therefore, Li Si must make his attitude clear in advance in order to dispel the emperor's wariness of him.

This is also the reason why Xunzi does not recognize Li Si as a disciple, this guy only knows his own plans, and does not care about the feelings of his fellow disciples at all, which is really insulting to the demeanor of a Confucian disciple......
