The land of Guanzhong is the place where the Qin Empire rose and the cradle of the birth of the Qin Empire's civilization. In this fertile land, it is precisely because of the watering of a river that the land has become so rich and prosperous. This river is the Wei River, which originated from the Tongxue Mountain in Weiyuan County, Gansu Province, which not only nurtured the people on both sides of the river, but also gave birth to the early civilization of China for 5,000 years. This land has added a glorious page to the glorious history of China in igniting the dawn of imperial civilization and casting epic rise and fall disillusionment. Unfortunately, after more than 600 years of vicissitudes, the empire finally embarked on a path of complete collapse and demise. In the face of the impending devastating catastrophe, she is still intoxicated with obsessive madness and cannot extricate herself, which may be a return to the light.

As early as the Shang Dynasty Reform period, the Qin State destroyed the Qianmo feudal system that marked the slavery of state-owned land, and also recognized the private ownership of land. Later, Qin Shi Huang issued a decree codifying private ownership of land, which helped to promote the development of the country's economy. Since then, Qin's agriculture and forestry, water conservancy, handicrafts, mining and metallurgy, and commerce have developed rapidly, which made Qin's Guanzhong the richest place in that period, and the economy of the capital Xianyang has also reached unprecedented prosperity.

Since Qin Xiaogong moved the capital from Liyang to Xianyang, and after the continuous expansion and repair of the successive Qin kings, the scale of Xianyang has become larger and larger. According to its distribution, the political center is north of Weishui, and the dormitory and the royal garden are located south of Weishui. Each palace group is very large and magnificent, the most famous are Xianyang Palace, Zhangtai Palace, Xingle Palace, Huayang Palace, Abang Palace, Liuguo Palace, Xin Palace, etc., as well as countless palace annexes and government mansions, temples and Taoist temples, Liangjin ferries, city dock hometowns, downtown Luli, pavilions, suburban ancestral halls, these are all to Weishui as the axis, stretch to the north and south, the whole capital is the most prosperous in the Xianyang City and the surrounding areas in the north of Weishui, it is the concentration of handicraft workshops and downtown. To the south of Weishui is the distribution area of ancestral temples, gardens and mausoleums. Between the Xianyang Palace and the Abang Palace in the south of Weishui, there is also a Weishui Hongqiao with a width of six zhang and a length of 280 meters, which connects the prosperous areas on the north and south banks. At that time, the Weishui was very clear, the scenery on both sides of the river was beautiful, and the Weihe River customs line for dozens of miles attracted countless Xianyang people to go sightseeing. In particular, the palace room of the Six Kingdoms, which is located in the imitation of Xianyang Beihan District, has the architectural style of the original Six Kingdoms, and its structure and characteristics are unique. Because there are too many palaces in Xianyang, its scale is magnificent and magnificent, and the architectural style is also luxurious and magnificent, so it is impossible to build a city to enclose the entire capital, so it can only be built in each palace area as a unit. In this way, the whole Xianyang City is lined with palaces, the buildings are grouped, everywhere is the loft and pavilion of the pile of brocade and embroidery, just like the corridor of the Yongdao of the dragon, the rockery garden can be seen everywhere, the strange trees and flowers planted are everywhere, it is really a hundred cities to add the weather, and the palace embraces Qiluo. Xianyang became the most prosperous super metropolis in the world at that time. Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem:

Xianyang Palace is gloomy and saga, and the buildings of the Six Kingdoms are gorgeous.

Since the world was drunk at that time, there were mountains and rivers in Qin.

In the summer of the third year of Qin II, Xianyang was very hot, and one day at noon, in the majestic Xianyang Palace, the Second Emperor was asking his prime minister a question that made Zhao Gao feel incredible. It turned out that the second emperor wanted him to become the happiest man in the world. Zhao Gao understood the emperor's thoughts, and he thought that as long as this kid was more outrageous and not human, the more he could firmly control him. Zhao Gao was not satisfied with seeing that the second had so many women at this time, so he simply thought of a way to let him play enough, and then played with him between applause. Because at this time, Zhao Gao was already very jealous of the life of the second, he saw that the second life was so extravagant and erosive, and he also hated his physical disability. Because although he is not a eunuch, what is the difference between him and a eunuch? He can't have a life like a normal person, and this inferiority complex prompts him to gradually become a psychologically unsound pervert.

Zhao Gao's long-term distorted psychology stems from the shocking case in Bolangsha eleven years ago, which still haunts him. He thought that if he hadn't been tortured by the palace in that incident, why wouldn't he dare to love a beautiful woman when he saw it today, that incident really made him unforgettable and couldn't forget. When Zhao Gao thought of this, his triangular eyes widened, and a fierce green light seemed to be emitted from his eye sockets, and he said to the second world with bad intentions: "Your Majesty, do you want to become the happiest person in the world?" The second said yes in unison. Zhao Gao smiled: "There is really another way to play that you haven't tried!" The second impatient asked what the game was. Zhao Gao smiled and said sinisterly: "I heard that the King of Xuan played a game called 'Jiuchi Meat Forest', which can be described as fresh and exciting, and the degree of happiness can be said to be incomparable!" In amazement, the second asked, "What is the 'Sakaike Meat Forest'?" Zhao Gao said: "It is in a beautiful place, build many large pools, fill them with wine, and then hang up the cooked meat, put all kinds of delicacies and fun things around, and then make a large number of handsome men and women strip naked and dance and sing to their heart's content, chase and fight, and have fun all night, and Your Majesty, you can enjoy watching and experiencing it yourself, isn't it happy?" When the second heard Zhao Gao's words, his heart was simply happy, and he said, "Qing said it so well!" Can you tell us more about how to build a wine pond meat forest? Zhao Gao blinked his triangular eyes and said confidently: "Didn't Your Majesty build a high-rise building in Xingle Palace?" The official said that it has been repaired now, so he asked His Majesty to go and watch it. If the scenery of that place is good, build a wine pond meat forest there. When the second heard the great joy, he and Zhao Gao came to Xingle Palace to watch the pavilion.

When they came to the palace, they saw the new building towering into the clouds, which was very magnificent, so they climbed with Zhao Gao to see it. This pavilion is more than ten zhang higher than the Hongtai built by the first emperor, standing on it and looking around, the scenery of Xianyang is in full view. After the second tour, he was very happy, and gave the new building "Caiyun Pavilion". Zhao Gao said: "Now build a city within a city with Caiyun Pavilion and Hongtai as the center, and wrap it in seven-colored brocade, which is called "Splendid City". Then there is a wine pond and a meat grove inside, where musicians play music and acrobats rehearse various juggling shows. In addition, we will go to the folk to select a group of beautiful girls and boys, and let them rehearse various forms of dance and accompany the tunes. When Jincheng is built, you can play and enjoy it night and night. Isn't Your Majesty happy? When the second heard Zhao Gao's words, he was so happy that his eyebrows fluttered, and he immediately summoned Yang Chengyan, an official in charge of construction, and ordered him to build a splendid city, and people called this special place "Jincheng".

The ministers of the Qin State were shocked when they heard that the emperor was going to build a Jincheng in the Xingle Palace, so they wrote to discourage them, and they wrote roughly the following on the chapter:

Jincheng is a place where the country died, please don't take it as an effect. In the past, the king of Shang was engaged in the wine pond meat forest, but as a result, King Wu of Zhou's army quickly hit Chaoge and destroyed Shang. Now that the rebellion in Shandong is surging, you should pay full attention to the affairs of the military state and supervise the soldiers and horses from all walks of life to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, otherwise the second King Wu of Zhou will fight to Xianyang.

When the second emperor saw such a recital, he was greatly disappointed, and said to Zhao Gao: "The ministers wrote to discourage the construction of Jincheng, what should I do?" Zhao Gao was also afraid that everyone would stop this incomparable entertainment, so he said: "Your Majesty should send guards to stop them from admonishing, and don't let those old stubborns who don't understand the customs disturb this grand event." The second said: "Some people are desperately trying to break into the palace, and they can hardly stop them." Zhao Gao said: "The minister has five brothers, all of whom want to serve His Majesty loyally." Please summon all of them into the palace and entrust them with important tasks, and you will surely be able to stop the harassment of the ministers. The second agreed to Zhao Gao's request, dismissed all the original officials, and let Zhao Cheng serve as Lang Zhongling, Zhao Gui as the guard lieutenant, Zhao Pan as the imperial servant, and Zhao An and Zhao Ping as lieutenants. Zhao Gao was overjoyed, so he set up an ironclad guard army in the palace, standing guard on duty day and night, and once he bumped into the minister who wanted to write and say something, he would be killed immediately.

Since then, the second emperor has been obsessed with the sound of dogs and horses and acrobatic dance music all day long. A month later, Yangcheng Yanjin entered the palace to report to the second emperor about the situation in Jincheng. When the second heard that Jincheng had been completed, he summoned Zhao Gao and asked, "Jincheng has been built, how is your program prepared?" Zhao Gao said: "The program is also ready, please Your Majesty go to check the grand occasion of Jincheng first." "The second is overjoyed.

The next day, the second led Zhao Gao, Yang Chengyan, and some of his close ministers, and they took advantage of the incense car BMW to walk towards Jincheng. Lang Zhong ordered Zhao Cheng to take the ironclad guards, and the brigade set off from Xianyang Palace and came to Xingle Palace. After entering the palace, he entered Jincheng. There was already a ceremonial palace maid standing at the north gate to greet her, only to see the crimson north gate written on the four words "Splendid Yao Pond". The second emperor got down the golden chariot and saw that the newly repaired Jincheng was as gorgeous and magnificent as a rainbow, and the brilliance was dazzling, and he was so happy that he danced with his hands. Originally, this brocade city was made of colorful brocade to imitate the appearance of the city, the city, the female wall, and the city gate were the same size as the real city gate, from top to bottom, they were red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, and purple. The roof of the castle tower is high, the eaves are high, and the ceiling is full of various lights and golden wind chimes. The wind chimes make a crisp and pleasant sound when the wind blows. There is a beacon tower at the corner of the city wall, and a watchtower above the main entrance. The shape of the city is basically square, and the city gate has four in the east, west, north and south, which is really a splendid city and a rich town.

There were also red-clad armor soldiers at the head of the city, but if you look closely, they are not tall samurai, but petite and delicate young girls. They were all dressed in light soft armor, holding the light weapons of the honor guard in their hands, and their expressions were vigorous and charming, apparently imitating the heavily armed male guards under the city. However, no matter how much they imitated it, they could not hide the delicate and graceful posture of the women, which made the tall and muscular warriors of the city willing to stand guard around them.

The youthful and energetic Emperor II was simply stunned when he saw the scene in front of him, and he walked in impatiently. Because of the joy, he walked very briskly, leaving those who followed far behind, it was really like being in a fairyland, like going to Yaochi. After everyone entered the city, Zhao Gao ordered Zhao Cheng to guard the city gate. Zhao Changcheng looks like Zhao Gao, but his body is a little thinner, he sees that his brother is already above 10,000 people under one person, and he is Lang Zhongling, and his arrogant expression is simply self-evident.

He also had under him officials such as the Confessor, the Counselor, the Doctor, the Taizhong Doctor, the Squire, the Zhonglang, and the Counselor. Zhao Chengcheng proudly told them that no one was allowed to approach the emperor, let alone play to the emperor, otherwise they would be killed with a cane. When the officials saw Zhao Cheng's arrogant and unreasonable appearance, no one dared to play the chapter again.

When the second came to Jincheng, he was shocked by the scene in front of him: it turned out that Jincheng was in the Xingle Palace, centered on two buildings, and these two buildings were Caiyun Pavilion and Hongtai. Jincheng further extended to the surrounding area, and a city within a city was built. Caiyun Pavilion was built by the edict of the second emperor shortly after the succession to the throne, which lasted more than two years and has now been completed. This is also the tallest building in Xianyang, which can be described as spectacular. The appearance of Caiyun Pavilion is characterized by the rectangular heavy eaves type pavilion, it is built on the white marble pedestal of tens of meters high, fifty zhang high, a total of nine layers, that is, one hundred and sixteen meters now, also called Cloud Pavilion. And because the building is majestic and magnificent, the color is gorgeous, just like the colorful clouds in the sky, so the second gave the name "Caiyun Pavilion". There is a seal plaque with Caiyun Pavilion written on it, which hangs under the eaves of the highest layer in the pavilion.

Accompanied by Zhao Gao, Yang Chengyan, and some of the staff, the second began to ascend to this pavilion. They walked and stopped, looking at each other, all the way up to the top. The second handheld railing overlooks Xianyang, and the prosperous scenery is in full view. Because the building is so high, the people above seem to be in the clouds. There are big red pillars in the pavilion facing south, and two thick and strong iron cables are tied to them respectively, and the other end of the iron cable is connected to the Hongtai two hundred meters away, and the Hongtai is in the south of Caiyun Pavilion, and the two are far away from each other. Hongtai is the building second only to Caiyun Pavilion in Xingle Palace, was built in the 27th year of Qin Shi Huang, the platform is 40 zhang high, 93 meters high, the square heavy eaves type is stacked layer by layer, a total of six layers. The top floor is a large platform, surrounded by red walls and jade railings, and the platform inside is higher than the corridors around it, surrounded by red sandalwood railings, it looks like the moon cave Sendai from afar, and the carved beams and paintings are seen closely, a piece of gold and brilliance. When the first emperor was at the peak of his hegemony, he often came to this platform to shoot Feihong in order to express his ambition to dominate the world, so he called this station Hongtai. The top floor of Hongtai also faces north, and there are two iron cables connected to the fourth-floor pillar of Caiyun Pavilion, which is specially used for the performance of trapeze actors. There are rolling hoops on the iron ropes, and if four people hang from the hoops and slide down from Caiyun Pavilion and Hongtai at the same time, there will be a trapeze scene. Actors can also fly from Caiyun Pavilion to Hongtai, and they can also fly from Hongtai to Caiyun Pavilion. They loop back and forth, and the performance is adventurous, exciting, and sensational. Before the actor took the test flight, Yang Chengyan first hung an animal of the same weight as a real person on an iron hoop, tested the flight and glided between the two floors, and then let the actor perform after success.

When the second heard the report, his eyebrows fluttered with joy, and then he entered the cabinet. Only then did I find that the decoration in the pavilion was even more exquisite, and those carved and embroidered thresholds were covered by various painted screens; The embroidered curtains and curtains are filled with blue fog and pepper smoke. Such as pianos, swords, hanging bottles, tables, etc., are all placed in a staggered manner. The shape of bonsai is also extremely chic, and they are not the same in color and shape. There are also a wide variety of offerings, and there are many famous ones. It is truly a world full of gold and silver, and a jewel town. The walls and screens are covered with patterns and ornaments that are beautiful and lifelike. In terms of content, there are characters, animals, plants, buildings, gods and monsters, etc.; In terms of expression, it is divided into painting, embroidery, relief, sculpture, handicraft, etc.; From the perspective of encyclopedia, it is divided into astronomy, geography, mountains, rivers, humanities, history, folklore, etc.; From the life customs of the emperor, there are travel maps, honor guard maps, banquet maps, outing maps, hunting maps, patrol maps, temple corridors, temple maps, sacrificial seal Zen maps, etc.; From the juggling of hundreds of operas, there are masquerade dance pictures, fish and dragon vine drawings, horn against the edge of the rod picture, Wu won the Ding picture, and Hai advocate performance picture; The sports category includes Keju field map, fencing and archery map, Go projectile map, Liubo super distance map, stone throwing lackey map, etc.

After viewing the patterns and ornaments, the second went down to the second floor of the Cloud Pavilion. Outside the building stretches out a large rectangular platform to the south, which can accommodate more than 100 people, there is a red railing inlaid with jade pillars on the periphery of the sky to guard the tabletop, the middle railing is also equipped with the throne and a variety of carved lacquered jade case painting tables, and the back row is placed with the table case of displaying food. When the second saw the throne, he was full of joy, so he came to try to sit down for a while, and then talked with Yang Chengyan and Zhao Gao, and everyone talked and laughed. Zhao Gao was full of spring breeze at this time, full of interest. But he was not just happy about the sight in front of him, but because his power had reached the pinnacle of power. Since Li Si's death, he has no opponents, not to mention that the current brothers have firmly controlled the important positions of the imperial court, so Zhao Gao was happy, and kept praising the second emperor for being the most virtuous king since ancient times, and those concubines also said some nice things, which made the second emperor flutter like falling into the clouds.

The platform on the second floor, that is, the observation deck, looks down, is the famous "wine pond platform" that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, the height of the platform is about 10 meters, and there is a royal road on the opposite side of the platform that has been connected to Hongtai. In the middle of the platform is a large rectangular stage, more than a meter above the platform, covered with a new scarlet carpet, surrounded by candlesticks and lampstands. On the wine pool platform, there are many wine injection pools of different shapes, and there are seats and couches next to the pool, and there are walkways connecting the seats and the couches, and the lamps are connected. The materials of the wine pond platform are all made of the beautiful jade of Kunlun Mountain, the depth of the pool varies from several inches to two feet, the jade cover of the jasmine is large and small, and the shape is also different, just like the giant inkstone is as exquisite as the extraordinary. The wine has not yet been poured into it, and the palace ladies are cleaning and wiping. There is a white marble railing on the periphery of the whole pond platform, and there is a royal road at the north end of the stage that connects to the Caiyun Pavilion, and there are corner stairs on the east and west sides to connect with the platform on the second floor.

Standing in the middle of the observation deck, Nishi looked out and saw a dazzling array of good things in front of him. The verandah, the pillars, the sandalwood piers, and the jade cases inlaid with mahogany are all made of gold carved jade, as if it is the fairy garden and the emperor's Yao pond. When the second emperor was overjoyed, he called Yang Chengyan to his side and rewarded him with a thousand brocade silks, ten carriages, ten taels of gold, and fifty women. Yang Chengyan kowtowed and thanked him, and retired happily. After the second reward was postponed, he ordered a grand banquet to be held in Jincheng ten days later, and all the harem women in Xianyang participated, and everyone wanted to enjoy and watch the program rehearsed by Zhao Gao, and the banquet was named "Wanyan Event".
