Chapter 756: The Greatest Secret
Xianyang Palace was built in the 31st year of the Great Qin Yuanwu, when the national strength of the Qin State reached its peak for the first time. Emperor Wu of Yuan expanded his territory for thousands of miles, defeated the three major forces of Qi, Chu and Xiongnu, moved the capital to Xianyang, built Jique in the city, and built Xianyang Palace to this point, as the land of the great dynasty of the monarchs of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Xianyang Palace takes the natural geography as the outer Guocheng, and takes the Qinling Mountains in the south, Longshan in the west, Yushan in the north and the Yuhe Mountain in the east as his external city walls. The terrain is high in the west and low in the east, forming a condescending situation to the other nine countries in the lower reaches of the Tianfeng River, and the dominant position is superior, and the choice of this place to build a palace and the capital of the country reveals the ambition and ambition of Emperor Wu of Yuan.
It's a pity that before the Xianyang Palace was fully completed, in the autumn of the thirty-third year of the Great Qin Yuanwu, Emperor Yuanwu, the Ming monarch of the Great Qin, died of illness. After that, the emperors of the past dynasties became more and more ineffective, and the national strength of Great Qin was also weakening day by day, almost from the head of the Ten Kingdoms to the bottom of the existence. If it weren't for the fact that the previous Zhenguo Gong came out of nowhere twenty years ago and repelled the Nine-Nation Alliance in one fell swoop, I am afraid that at this time, Great Qin would have either perished or greatly reduced its power, and countless territories would have been divided by other countries.
Subsequently, with the painstaking management of the first emperor and Wu Zetian for many years, this made the national strength of Great Qin flourish and recover. Even so, Great Qin's current national strength is only in the lower middle category, which shows that Great Qin's national strength has been weakened and unbearable for many years.
The reason why Nangong Cheng returned so quickly before, in addition to the reason for Jixia Xuegong, was that there was no money. It's not that Wu Zetian and the Great Qin royal family intercepted military supplies, but that the entire Great Qin Kingdom really has no money, otherwise Wu Zetian and the Great Qin royal family would not let go of such a good opportunity to show off their national prestige.
This is also the reason why Qin Yun concluded that Wu Zetian and the Great Qin Imperial Family would not tamper with the Zhenguo Wuwang Mansion, the foreign enemy had not been eliminated, and the Great Qin State also needed the Zhenguo Wuwang Mansion, the Optimus Pillar, to escort and resist foreign insults.
Qin Yun sat in the car sent by the palace and entered the Xianyang Palace. After a while, the carriage stopped, and Qin Yun heard someone outside say respectfully: "Lord Wang, you have arrived outside the Zichen Palace, and please get off the car." ”
"Zichen Palace?" Qin Yun's eyes opened, and he had a lot of doubts.
Zichen Hall is a place where Wu Zetian handles government affairs and rests on a daily basis, although it is not an absolute forbidden place, but it is also very secret. Except for a few maids and Shangguan Wan'er who were with Wu Zetian, the others were all killed within ten zhang of the Zichen Palace. Although Qin Yun thought to himself that Wu Zetian would not play the trick of the 'White Tiger Hall', Wu Zetian actually let the carriage go straight to the outside of the Zichen Palace, which really surprised Qin Yun.
"I'd like to see what tricks they're playing." Qin Yun sneered and got out of the car.
Qin Yun got out of the carriage, and the carriage immediately left in a hurry, leaving Qin Yun alone. Qin Yun frowned and looked at the empty Zichen Palace, and the ominous premonition in his heart became heavier and heavier.
"Xiaoqian, once you find that the situation is wrong, strike first." Qin Yun clenched the jade pendant on his waist and said softly.
"Okay." Nie Xiaoqian's voice sounded directly in Qin Yun's mind.
Qin Yun had just finished talking to Nie Xiaoqian here, and there was already movement in the Zichen Palace. Qin Yun looked around, and saw Wu Zetian walking out of the Zichen Hall in plain clothes, followed by a person that Qin Yun didn't expect—Qin Chong.
In addition, inside and outside the huge Zichen Palace, there is no fourth person, not even Shangguan Wan'er, who is known as Wu Zetian's 'shadow', not to mention other maids and eunuchs.
"Could it be that they have already gotten together, and the first emperor's hat has not been green for a long time?" Qin Yun's first thought turned out to be like this, and he didn't know if it was his nature attacking, or if the original 'pure' state of mind was polluted.
Such thoughts were just a flash, and Qin Yun looked at Wu Zetian and Qin Chong who were walking slowly with a calm face, ready to leave in an instant. It's just that what Qin Yun didn't expect was that the two hadn't come close yet, and they had already knelt down on one knee.
"The subordinate point general hall 'overseer' Wu Meiniang visited the young master."
"The subordinate point general's 'protector' Qin Chong visited the young master."
Qin Yun's mind immediately 'banged', and his first reaction was that Qin Feng, the previous prince of Zhenguo, was also a traverser, otherwise how could he take Wu Zetian as his subordinate. The second thought was: What's going on, I'm not dreaming, am I?
Qin Yun was a 'battle-hardened' person in the end, but he was just stunned, and then said calmly: "Get up." After speaking, he walked straight to the Zichen Palace, which made Wu Zetian and Qin Chong look a little unpredictable.
"Could it be that the young master already knows our identity?"
Thinking about it, Wu Zetian and Qin Chong also walked into the Zichen Palace.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Fortunately, Qin Yun is not a deep person after all, whether it is true or not, Qin Yun has to listen to what Wu Zetian and Qin Chong have to say.
Wu Zetian and Qin Chong glanced at each other, and in the end, Wu Zetian took a step forward and lightly told Qin Yun the secrets that Qin Yun didn't know.
It turned out that the source of the Zhenguo Mansion was a side branch of the royal family of the Great Qin State, and the Zhenguo Mansion was secretly established hundreds of years ago. In other words, Qin Yun is also a member of the Great Qin Imperial Family, but this is not the most important thing. The reason why the Zhenguo Mansion was established so secretly at the beginning was not only to protect the Qin Kingdom, but also had a major mission, that is, to find the legacy of the 'Tianzun' and any clues......
"Wait, you're talking about 'Tianzun'?" Qin Yun interrupted Wu Zetian's narration with a strange expression.
"Not bad." Wu Zetian said.
"Why?" Qin Yun's expression became more and more strange.
"This ...... Only the monarchs of the Great Qin and the princes of Zhenguo knew about it. Wu Zetian said. Later, my father-in-law died, and I left a secret clue before he died, which was found by my brother-in-law and me, so now only my brother-in-law and I know. ”
"Father-in-law? You are also my father's righteousness...... Woman? Qin Yun didn't know what kind of expression he should have, and the muscles on his face seemed to be a little disobedient to the command, and they became stiff.
"Yes, without my father-in-law, there would be no me, let alone the current Wu Meiniang." Wu Zetian said with some excitement on his face. Qin Chong on the side also had the same expression, obviously having a very deep affection and admiration for Qin Yun's cheap father.
Qin Yun saw it very clearly, Wu Zetian and Qin Chong's expressions were from the heart, and they couldn't fake it at all. However, in this way, Qin Yun didn't know what kind of language to use to describe his current mood and his complaints about the former Zhenguo Gong.
"With such hole cards and relationships, what kind of sin did you create to be angry to death?"
But now, Qin Yun didn't have time to mourn the 'early' young prince, what he wanted to know most now was what kind of earth-shattering secret the Qin Kingdom had!
Most crucially, it seems to have something to do with drifting snow.
