Chapter 02: Heaven and Earth

In the inner courtyard of the imperial court, it is never easy to summon foreign ministers.

This time, Emperor Qin unprecedentedly summoned Wang Qiong in the harem, which surprised the Seventh Prince.

"You have a really big face, like our prince, when you reach the age of fifteen, you have to leave the palace, open the palace and build teeth, and you are not allowed to enter and leave the palace at will. ”

On the frame, the Seventh Prince accompanied Wang Qiong, with a strange look on his face.

"Don't you have to go into the palace to say goodbye?" asked Wang Qiong.

Wealthy families all pay attention to etiquette and patriarchy, let alone the royal family?

"When you enter the palace, you need to report to the Department of Rites to file the case, every day at nine o'clock in the morning, led by the ring guard, enter the palace from Zhengyang Gate, and it is very troublesome. The Seventh Prince pouted.

"If you spread this, I'm afraid you will have a reputation for being unfilial. Wang Qiong said with a smile.

Entering the palace to ask for peace, this is etiquette, but also filial piety, as a prince should be an example for the world, it is troublesome, although this kind of words are not rebellious, but spread out, it is enough to make a big fuss and criticize the seven princes for not being filial piety.

This crime is not big, but it is not small, after all, filial piety is not a private festival, but a public morality!

To put it mildly, such a character is not enough to inherit the country's social heritage.

"There are no outsiders here. The Seventh Prince said very easily: "And my father often said that red tape can be avoided, and he doesn't like this." ”

"Your Majesty Emperor Qin...... Something seems different. Wang Qiong whispered.

It is said that ruthlessness is the most emperor's family, but the Qin royal family seems to be a little unconventional in this generation, and now the Qin Emperor intends to simplify the complex, and since he ascended the throne, he has abolished a lot of etiquette.

For example, sacrificing ancestors, for generations, it has been a living sacrifice and a three-animal sacrifice, but in the generation of Emperor Qin, he suddenly invented an unprecedented and unbelievable method of sacrifice.

This method of sacrifice is called "burning paper"!

Every time there is a big sacrifice, the Qin Emperor will order the priests of the sect to print a large number of rectangular pieces of paper, which are bordered with gold leaf, write large numbers, and write the four big characters of "Heaven and Earth Bank".

At the time of the sacrifice, all you have to do is burn the paper, and that's it.

Emperor Qin explained, this is the money used after death, the so-called shh

As soon as the new sacrificial method was introduced, the great families followed suit, and for a time the imperial capital paper was expensive, for this reason, the trading company saw the wireless business opportunity, applied to the imperial court, and exclusively acted as the agent for the business of casting paper money, and set up the Tiandi Bank!

With Tiandi Bank alone, the trading company has an additional 230 million yuan per year.

Those paper money are more expensive than real money, and even launched a tribute package for filial sons and grandchildren, and a package for the eighteenth generation of ancestors to ascend to heaven.

"The father's whimsical ideas, endless, are really the wisdom of heaven and man, not something we can imagine. The Seventh Prince couldn't help but sigh.

I have to say that since Emperor Qin ascended the throne, all kinds of reforms, inventions and creations have completely changed the pattern of the world, and also affected this era.

And this influence will endure, and the imprint of the Qin Emperor will be forever engraved in the long river of history.

"Get out of the car, when you get here, you have to walk. ”

At this moment, the frame stopped.

Wang Qiong walked down and looked up, unexpectedly at the far end of the high wall was a small door with three words written on it: Da Qianmen!

"Hmm, what is the name?" Wang Qiong looked strange, among the inner palaces, which one of the palace portals was not magnificent, and the name was also quite exquisite.

What kind of door is this?

"Don't lie about it, this is mentioned by my father. The Seventh Prince admonished.

This is a forbidden place in the palace, the residence of His Majesty the Emperor Qin today, not everyone can come in, and some words are wrong and easy to cause death.

"It's pure curiosity!" Wang Qiong said with a dry smile.

As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he saw an earthy yellow dog lined up on the ground.

The dog had a slender body, soft eyes, drooping ears, and limbs that were neither long nor short, and when he saw someone, he just raised his eyes and continued to sleep.

"Ordinary dog!?" Wang Qiong was stunned, and then showed a strange look.

In the Imperial Palace, His Majesty's residence, there is still this kind of local dog? In Sanyang Town, this kind of dog is usually served on the table and steames hot.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is a divine beast!" the Seventh Prince glared, revealing a respectful expression.

"Divine beasts?"

The Seventh Prince nodded: "This is a pet dog kept by my father, it is said that the blood is noble and hides terrifying power. ”

"This is a return to the basics, showing the ordinary, but once it is angry, the heavens and the earth are repeated, devouring the sky and the moon, the domineering power of power, and the power of the supernatural power, almost standing at the pinnacle of evolution. ”

The dog kept in captivity by His Majesty Emperor Qin has long been a legendary existence in the Great Interior, and even the concubines and princes are secretive about it, and they know its horror deeply.

Even, many royal relatives and children of the royal palace also knew the prestige of this dog.

"So powerful!?" Wang Qiong was slightly moved, secretly scolding himself for being a fool.

This is the palace inside, raised by the Qin Emperor, and it is mundane.

If it is really a soil dog that can be seen everywhere in the world, how can it appear in the palace, and it can still be favored by the Qin Emperor and kept in captivity in the inner courtyard!?

Obviously, it was the dog's life form that was beyond his imagination, so he couldn't perceive the hidden power.

"Have you ever seen its power?" Wang Qiong was infinitely curious about this dog.

"No!" the Seventh Prince shook his head.

The forbidden land of the palace, whoever dares to make a mistake, no one can let it shoot.

Once it strikes, it will be a river of blood and a discoloration of the country.

Wang Qiong swallowed and spitted, no wonder he used it to look at them, it was obvious that this ordinary earth dog was a big killing weapon hidden in the palace.

"Does this dog have a name?

"It has a well-deserved name. The Seventh Prince said solemnly: "Chinese Pastoral Dog!"

"Chinese Pastoral Dog!?" Wang Qiong was in awe, remembering the name of this desolate alien species.

Entering the big front door, bypassing the Chinese pastoral dogs, the winding path is secluded, the grass is shaded, and an inner courtyard slowly emerges in front of you.

"That's my father's residence, and I rarely come here. ”

"Can't you come in as a prince?" said Wang Qiongqi.

"This is the private territory of my father, no one can come in without his summons, even the concubines will never stay here, and we invite peace in the Qianyang Hall on weekdays. The Seven Princes said.

Obviously, this inner courtyard is His Majesty Emperor Qin's own small world, and outsiders cannot easily set foot in it.

Wang Qiong became more and more curious, and when he approached, the small courtyard was quiet, and there were four big characters written on the door:

Heaven and earth!
