Chapter 75: Young King!
The night is like ink.
Inside and outside Xianyang City, some people are worried, some people are anxious, some people plan carefully, and some people have nothing to do with themselves.
There are also people who have an attitude of watching the play, waiting for the arrival of the enthronement ceremony the next day
Time is like water, and the white horse passes through the gap.
In the midst of countless people's waiting
The white belly of the rising fish gradually rises from the east.
King Qin's enthronement ceremony has finally officially begun
The quiet night receded into darkness.
The light permeated the heavens and the earth.
At this moment, up and down the city of Xianyang, solemn and quiet.
Under the faint light, the entire inside and outside of Xianyang City has been washed with clean water, and the dust is clean.
The thick and tall pitch-black city wall has long been washed.
The sky was clear and cloudless, and the warlocks of the Great Qin Stargazing Platform had already come to do so, summoning a strong wind and blowing away the white clouds.
'Wow la la~'
Above the head of the Bafang City, there stood a black water Xuanniao flag tens of meters high, and the huge black and gold banner hunted with the wind under the dim starlight.
A dignified and solemn atmosphere surrounded the city, which came from the countless Xianyang garrisons around.
They stood guard in the streets and the imperial city, ten steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, wearing iron armor, their eyes were calm, and they scanned all directions.
The pitch-black formation spread out of the imperial city until it was miles outside the city.
In the pale starlight, they remained motionless.
Since last night, there has been no movement.
From afar, it looks like a heavy iron tower, standing between the city and the wilderness.
The streets of Xianyang City have long been empty.
All the people returned to their homes.
They closed their doors and windows, bathed and changed their clothes, lit incense, and waited for the solemn moment of the day.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Countless people's hearts have accelerated uncontrollably.
The morning light is faint, and the whiteness of the fish belly on the horizon gradually disappears.
The breeze blew, waiting until the first purple air in the east rose
The Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, who was in charge of etiquette, stepped forward in person, pulled up the rope with a solemn expression, and then smashed it down hard, ringing the first bell from the east!!
'Bell~'
The heavy and majestic bell, accompanied by the newborn purple gas, resounded up and down Xianyang!
'Bell~'
'Bell~'
'Bell~'
In the next moment, three more bells rang from the south, north, west and northwest directions of Xianyang City!
Three bells, accompanied by this first bell in the morning, suddenly rang through the world!
'Bell~~'
The sleeping bird is awakened from its sleep!
They flapped their wings and soared into the air.
The tall ancient bell was struck one after another by a majestic Guanglu Temple official, and the heavy and majestic voice made the entire Xianyang City tremble!
And almost at the same time, in the imperial city, there was also a solemn voice, which suddenly sounded!
"The auspicious time has arrived!!"
With this solemn voice sounding, around the Xianyang Imperial City, a celebrity official gradually raised his head respectfully and spoke solemnly one after another!
"The auspicious time has come!"
"The auspicious time has come!"
The solemn and loud voice, under the leadership of a celebrity official, spread all over Xianyang!
In just a moment, it was passed throughout Xianyang City!
The breeze blows and the bells chime!
In the huge Xianyang City, countless people raised their heads, and their eyes burst into brilliant light!
Here we go!
Take a deep breath.
Those officials who belonged to Daqin began to tidy up their clothes.
They were neatly dressed, walked calmly and solemnly, and walked out of their homes or places of residence, towards the location of the enthronement ceremony of the imperial city.
Their posture is respectful, their expressions solemn, and their expressions are majestic and solemn.
Even if it is Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang, they are dignified.
Outside Xianyang City, those officials who came from various counties and counties of Daqin also carefully tidied up their clothes and slowly began to enter through the city gate that was wide open in the east, heading to the predetermined viewing position.
Even the envoys from the six countries who came to watch the play looked solemn.
After all, it is the enthronement ceremony of the king of a country, even if they come with the idea of watching a play, they have to maintain enough respect.
After carefully arranging their clothes, they slowly walked out of the door.
Looking at the surrounding scenes and the solemn bells echoing around them, these envoys from the Six Kingdoms had a flat expression, but when they scanned the four directions, there was occasionally a faint look of banter in their eyes.
"Hehehe, it can be regarded as the beginning, this good show has made me wait for a long time."
"I hope it's more exciting, after I go back, I still need to report to the king about this enthronement ceremony, for this ceremony, the king has been looking forward to it for a long time."
"I really don't know who gave him this head, but it doesn't matter, from today onwards, this head can only be obtained by my Da Chu."
"Come, let me see how this Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang beat the little Qin king who is about to ascend the throne today."
"The show has begun, and everything today must be quite interesting."
"Let's take a look at how the fortunes of the Qin country will change after the enthronement ceremony of King Qin today."
An envoy from the six countries, walking calmly and smilingly, went to the established place to observe the ceremony one after another.
In addition to the envoys of the Six Kingdoms and the officials of the Qin State, at today's enthronement ceremony, there were also some people of the Qin State and hundreds of schools of thought who came, and some cultivators near Xianyang who had obtained sporadic qualifications to observe the ceremony.
As for what happened inside the Qin State, many of these people from the hundreds of schools also knew about it.
Among them, there are also some people who walk towards the viewing position with a bit of a theater mentality.
"It's a big show." There are Mo family practitioners looking around.
He carried a small wooden pendant with an emerald green gem set in it, which seemed to provide him with great power, and was slowly rotating the pendant in a constant pattern.
"After all, it is the strongest country in the Seven Kingdoms today." A man in a long robe replied with a smile, with a handsome face and a folding fan in his hand, apparently from Confucianism.
"Hehehe, I heard that there will be interesting things happening at the enthronement ceremony of the Qin State this time?" This is a tall man, with a majestic and tall figure, with a strong and evil spirit in his gestures, which is a military practitioner.
"There should be. Today's Qin State is in endless competition, and Lü Buwei and Mrs. Huayang will inevitably make a move at this enthronement ceremony, and this time King Xiao Qin ascended the throne, perhaps more of a puppet. The Legalist opened his mouth with a smile, gentle and elegant, but his eyes seemed to have a large number of runes shining.
"Let's talk less, let's watch the play. It's good to watch quietly and watch the ceremony, and beware of misfortune coming out of your mouth."
A Qi cultivator from the Hundred Sects of Famous Princes arrived, and the cultivators near Xianyang were all talking in a whisper, and slowly went to the established location.
Even in the Fengqing Gate, a first-class master of the Nine Heavens of Forging Body was sent to the enthronement site, ready to wait to see a good show.
"Gongzi Zheng? Isn't the current internal affairs of Qin already controlled by Lü Buwei and Mrs. Huayang? With such an enthronement ceremony, I really don't understand why I came to watch the ceremony. ”
"For this time, it is better for me to practice the sword technique in the sect for a while."
This Fengqingmen disciple muttered like this, slightly dissatisfied, but although he said this, he also turned his head to look at the location of the Xianyang Imperial City in the distance, and also wanted to see today's scene.
After all, when the king of a country ascends the throne, it is rare for his own family to make trouble.
Like a tidal wave, the flow of people came to the vicinity of the imperial city from all directions, and they waited quietly in their respective positions, waiting for the beginning of the enthronement ceremony.
Everyone is waiting for a good show to be staged, and everyone is waiting to watch the confrontation between Lü Buwei and Mrs. Huayang at the enthronement ceremony.
No one is optimistic about Gongzizheng, who is only thirteen years old, and everyone thinks that he is just a puppet who has been raised.
And just when everyone had this mentality, thinking that Yingzheng's enthronement ceremony was destined to be suppressed by Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang.
In the Great Qin Xianyang Emperor, Ying Zheng also slowly opened his eyes.
The first rays of morning light fall.
Ying Zheng stopped cultivating Tuna.
He got up slowly, and dozens of palace maids dressed in luxurious silk quietly stepped forward, leading Yingzheng to wash and eat, and then bathe and change clothes.
Time passed minute by minute, and the process was extremely slow, and many palace maids were silent and behaved calmly and solemnly.
The golden light fell from the thirty-six ten-meter-high wide windows in front of them, and the golden silk dragon pattern and the ancient picture of the Xuanniao appeared lifelike under the sunlight.
In front of the vast front hall, tens of thousands of black-armored elites stood.
Each of them held a five-zhang high black gold Xuanniao flag, with a solemn expression and a solemn posture, like statues, motionless from a fixed position.
The evil spirit and majesty merged, and the vast momentum rose to the sky above the square, and the banner of the Great Qin Dynasty in the sky was automatic without wind, hunting and hunting in the vast momentum.
The golden sunlight fell from the sky, passed through the heavy gate, and fell into the hall like hundreds of golden pillars of light.
Pillars of transparent golden light gradually rose and fell, and finally covered Ying Zheng's body, making him dreamlike and like a god.
More than a dozen dressed palace maids respectfully stepped forward, took the robe belonging to the Great Qin King, and began to change clothes for Yingzheng.
This process, too, is extremely slow.
Nine huge golden silk birds were embroidered on his black robe, and a full ninety-nine tiny dragons were engraved on the cuffs and hem of his clothes.
The wide sleeves were blown by the breeze, and Yingzheng's wrist revealed an ancient jade bracelet, which was carved with complex patterns, which were mysterious and abnormal, representing royal power and prosperity.
In the whole hall, it is particularly solemn.
All the attendants and guards all knelt on one knee respectfully, with a solemn and solemn posture.
Even if it was Yingzheng, he was briefly immersed in this vast tranquility.
After a full hour, Yingzheng finally finished dressing.
The golden sunlight shone on the dark king, who was obviously only a boy about thirteen years old, but he carried a royal road of extreme power that was pure to the extreme.
His long hair was pulled up, tied behind his head with a hosta, a pair of sword eyebrows into the sheath, and his black jade-like pupils exuded a brilliant cold light, like a deep pool shrouded in mist, unpredictable.
Just looking at it is like a whirlpool, as if it can swallow up their sight.
Seeing this scene, many palace maids around couldn't help but bow their heads, and a storm broke in their hearts.
Is this really the prince Masa-sama?
Why has there been such a big change in such a short period of time?
Before many palace maids came back to their senses, the voice of the secretary of Guanglu Temple outside sounded again!
"It's time!"
"The ceremony begins!!"
With a long chant, Yingzheng's enthronement hall has officially entered the next step!
Looking at the vast city in the distance, Ying Zheng's expression was solemn.
As the main figure of this enthronement ceremony, he naturally also knows something about a series of cumbersome etiquette!
Zhou Chi is the pavilion road, from His Royal Highness to Nanshan. The top of the South Mountain of the Table is thought to be que, for the resumption of the road, since ancient times to cross Wei, belong to the Xianyang, to like the Tianji Pavilion Road to the Han to arrive at the barracks!
The main steps of this enthronement ceremony are roughly divided into three steps!
Aside from the initial shower and dressing, the most complicated step is this second step!
According to the etiquette of the Qin State's accession to the throne, he needed to start from the front hall of the Great Qin Xianyang Palace, cross the Longwu Gate, and then pass through the Xuanfeng Palace, and walk through all the central halls!
Then come to the altar of Changming Palace in the middle, under the performance of group music, worship the ancient body of the eight directions, and the four sides of the land!
Then continue to move forward, walk through the rooftop, worship with heavenly stones, worship the ten heavenly domes, and light the heavenly incense to bless the national fortune!
Then after that, he needs to lead the civil and military officials to move on.
After passing through the Great Qin Imperial Palace, all the way to the Xuanwu Gate in the east, out of the imperial city, and arrived at the core area of Xianyang City!
Here, Ying Zheng will be on the Temple of Heaven with Xianyang, read the enthronement speech, greet the hundred officials and salutes, meet the sons of the hundred schools, and many cultivation sects, accept the worship of all the people and then announce to the world, amnesty to the Quartet, and enthrone the King of Qin!
Since then, this enthronement ceremony has come to an end!
And in this process, many Great Qin officials and those who came to watch the ceremony, because of their different statuses, were in different positions!
It's like the hundred officials of Great Qin and the envoys of the Six Kingdoms, all waiting on many roads within the imperial city.
And the princes, hundreds of schools and people, and qi refiners, were waiting near the Temple of Heaven in the center of Xianyang outside the imperial city.
Slowly thinking about all this, Ying Zheng raised his steps and walked down the stairs.
Several guards stepped forward respectfully, and after a few steps away, they were close to the guard.
And as Ying Zheng fell down, the black-armored soldiers of Great Qin, who were all over the front hall, suddenly raised the banner in their hands.
Then there was a heavy pause!
'Boom! ’
It's as if the earth is trembling!
A shout like a landslide and tsunami suddenly erupted from the front hall!!
"See!"
"Your Majesty!"
"See!"
"Your Majesty!"
Blood boiling!
Vast chanting, soaring into the sky!
The hunting flag is whistling with the wind!
Rolling sound waves in the sky!
Countless soldiers of a hundred battles shouted, with an exciting momentum!
As Yingzheng fell with every step, they would raise the flag, pause heavily, and shout angrily!
"See!"
"Your Majesty!"
Like a thunderous and trembling shout rushing into the sky!
Rolling blood surging!
Even if it is Yingzheng, before facing such a huge scene, he can't help but boil his blood!
Several of the guards beside him were even more bloodshot and trembling!
Is this a means for Lü Buwei and Mrs. Huayang?
Feeling the terrifying momentum rising into the sky in all directions, Ying Zheng's eyes burst into flames.
In an instant, Ying Zheng suppressed the restlessness in his body, and under the guards of the stars, he slowly moved forward, taking Zhou Chi as the pavilion road, and went straight to Longwu Gate!
500 steps from east to west, 5,000 feet from north to south!
Around this continuous palace, there are countless Great Qin Iron Horsemen!
Looking at the king who walked calmly in the shouting and roaring, countless soldiers showed a look of surprise in their eyes!
He is worthy of being the King of Great Qin!
Although he is still young and less than the age of the crown, he can be as stable as Mount Tai in this vast momentum, and he already has a wisp of the demeanor of the Great Qin King!
This kind of surprise soon turned into excitement and admiration in the eyes of many soldiers!
Although they were hinted by Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang to increase their momentum a little, this was also what they thought in their hearts!
After all, as the Great Qin Army, they still have a little understanding of the current situation of the Qin State, if they submit to a weak king, even if they are still loyal, they will inevitably regret it in their hearts!
But now, looking at the young man walking on the road, his face does not change, his steps are calm, and his every move has the look of a king, their eyes are bright!
"See!!"
"Your Majesty!!"
Landslide tsunami!
Tens of thousands of people shouted!
Along with Zhong Mingding Town, almost the entire Xianyang City could hear this terrifying cheer!
The flag is waving, and the wind is rolling!
In this endless qi and blood, Ying Zheng went all the way forward and went straight through the Longwu Gate.
Longwu Gate, although it is named after the gate, is actually two huge and magnificent palaces!
In these two palaces, located on the left and right sides of the main road of the imperial city, there is a group of soldiers wearing silver chain mail!
Countless soldiers lined up neatly all around, holding spears and banners in their hands, swords at their waists, heavy bows on their backs, and their iron armor glowing in the cold cold light of the sun!
And in addition to these, among these soldiers, there are many ancient chariots!
On top of these chariots, there are many soldiers on one knee, and many strong bows and crossbows are placed in front of them and around them!
Not far away, there are even hundreds of heavy ballistas with an arm span of several meters!
As Yingzheng walked, these soldiers also raised their heads in unison.
The first moment they saw Ying Zheng, the eyes of these soldiers lit up!
Is this Gongzizheng, the future King of Great Qin?
Although I have heard of it for a long time, but when I see it today, it doesn't seem to be as creepy as rumored, and it seems to have a kind of pure monarch style between gestures!
Thoughts boiled, and they trembled!
'Boom! ’
"See!"
"Your Majesty!"
The vast thunder resounded in all directions, and an iron-blooded battle intent rushed into the sky!
If the black-armored soldiers in the front hall are all well-trained elite soldiers, then the soldiers in front of them wearing bright silver chain mail are all veterans of the battlefield who have experienced a hundred battles!
Each of them has blood on their backs, and they are real soldiers who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood!
These soldiers were not as tall as the black-armored soldiers, nor as neat as they were, and they stood there, tall and short, fat and thin, not at all weak and neat.
But the loyalty and bloodlust in their eyes far surpassed those black-armored guards countless times higher!
Every soldier has a surging evil aura on his body!
That's the proof of surviving in the hands of the god of death on the battlefield!
Looking at these veterans, Ying Zheng's eyes were sharp, he was hunting in a black robe, walking on the dark avenue, majestic and solemn!
He walked very slowly, and although he was only a teenager, he already had the demeanor of a king of a country!
"See!"
"Your Majesty!"
After passing through the Longwu Gate, Ying Zheng came to the Xuanfeng Palace.
It is still a palace of extreme splendor.
This is the place where many civil officials in the imperial city used to work, and there are many government affairs, which were corrected and handled by the civil officials here to help the successive Qin kings.
It is beautifully carved and patterned all over the place.
And here, there are already people.
These people are usually bureaucrats in various parts of Great Qin, and they are the masters of many places, and they all have the authority of their own regions.
But at this time, after they saw Yingzheng for the first time, they all bent down and knelt on the ground!
"See!"
"Your Majesty!"
It's still a shout like a landslide and tsunami!
Each of them, dressed in the most splendid clothes and with solemn expressions, arrived from all over the country after bathing and changing!
Just to witness the new king ascend to the throne!
"See!"
"Your Majesty!"
, everyone kowtows and bows, and the solemn and dignified atmosphere spreads here!
Yingzheng never squinted, moved forward calmly, and walked all the way under the kneeling of thousands of people.
And it wasn't until after Ying Zheng left and left the Xuanfeng Palace that many officials slowly got up, but they still didn't dare to raise their heads, their hands were still stacked in front of them, and their eyes were extremely respectful!
While they were excited, they were also a little confused!
It's better to see than to hear, this rumored Gongzizheng, who grew up under the two mountains of Lü Buwei and Mrs. Huayang, doesn't seem to be as weak as rumored!
On the contrary, he was tall and resolute, although he was still young, but after wearing the black and gold Xuanniao Panlong robe, his body also exuded the majesty of a king that could not be ignored!
This. Is it the future King of Qin?
I don't know how he should deal with the means of the Minister of State and Mrs. Huayang?
Ying Zheng didn't know what many officials thought.
He walked outside the Xuanfeng Palace and continued to move forward.
Then slowly walked through all the central halls!
Along the way, Zhong Mingding Ding Town, chanting boiling!
Arrive at Changming Palace.
The moment Ying Zheng arrived at Changming Palace, the shouts of landslides and tsunamis were gone.
In their place were countless Great Qin civil and military officials!
These civil and military officials are all the most important ministers and officials in Xianyang, among them, the first ones he saw were Lü Buwei and Quanyangjun!
The two are in high positions and stand in the closest place to the rooftop.
Behind them, there were a dense crowd of civil and military officials, each of whom had monstrous power.
At a distance from these people, there were the generals of Great Qin standing respectfully.
Here, for the first time, Ying Zheng saw the Great Qin generals Meng Fu and Wang Qian, as well as Meng Wu and others.
"See!"
"Your Majesty!"
A deep and respectful voice echoed in front of the rooftop.
Different from the shouts of many soldiers, the shouts of these civil and military officials have a deep intensity, although they do not have the enthusiasm of the previous soldiers, but there is a kind of shock that makes the scalp tingle!
"See, Your Majesty!"
The cry of the waves is like a wave, one higher than the other.
And just as everyone was shouting respectfully, the envoys of the Six Kingdoms at the back of this venue were frowning slightly.
Looking at the young man with a flat expression and a handsome appearance, who did not have any expression fluctuations in the face of the landslide and tsunami, they were all a little puzzled.
This is the rumored Gongzi Zheng?
Doesn't it seem a little different?
In the face of such a civil and military official's bow, he is still so indifferent, if it is not for the strong support, this body bearing and temperament are quite outstanding.
"Zhongqing is flat." Ying Zheng nodded slowly, and a black and gold Xuanniao robe hunted.
"Thank you, the king!"
The civil and military officials slowly got up.
Lü Buwei and Quan Yangjun are also listed.
And looking at the two people in the front, the many envoys of the Six Kingdoms, the corners of their mouths hooked slightly.
It doesn't matter what kind of demeanor you have
At this enthronement ceremony, Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang are destined to fight for each other.
The show is about to begin.
The envoys of the six countries are silently thinking here.
And Ying Zheng slowly stepped forward, came to the altar of Changming Palace, and raised the sacrificial object.
The breeze blows, and thousands of people admire.
He is about to be here to worship the ancient earth body of the eight directions and the gods of the land of the four directions.
As Ying Zheng held the jade tripod in his hand, lit incense, and filled the mountain spring to be sacrificed, in the surrounding palaces, there were also vast and majestic court performances.
The long chimes, the ancient melodies, with the heaviness and solemnity, are solemn and abnormal.
Thousands of court musicians played music by hand, weaving a magnificent ancient festival.
Ying Zheng stepped forward slowly, holding the sacrificial object in his hand, and on the altar, he bowed to the land of the four directions.
However.
Just when Ying Zheng was holding the sacrificial object and stepped forward to sacrifice, his eyes gradually became indifferent.
For some reason, the eunuch who was supposed to present the sacrificial salutation was delayed.
Minutes and seconds passed.
The bell rang and the music was endless, but no one acted.
Ying Zheng just stood on the altar, waiting for the festival to begin.
What's going on?
What about the eunuchs who sacrificed honorifics?
When several officials of Guanglu Temple in charge of the ceremony saw this scene, cold sweat immediately broke out on their foreheads.
Looking at Yingzheng who was standing in place, many officials and envoys from the six countries were still a little stunned at first.
But soon, they felt an eerie atmosphere
What about sacrificial honorifics?
In the stirring of the music, a strange atmosphere gradually spread in front of the entire altar of Changming Palace.
At this moment, whether it was the envoys of the Six Kingdoms or the many Great Qin officials, their eyes all fell on Lu Buwei and Quan Yangjun at the forefront!
The expressions of the envoys of the six countries gradually began to become a little strange.
Sure enough!
This is
Started banging and messing around?
And on the altar, Yingzheng also looked down.
A pair of eyes are like polar ice caves, cold and biting.
Lu Buwei was dressed in a luxurious robe, his white hair was fluttering in the wind, he was wearing a hosta hair crown, and his face was as usual.
As for Quan Yangjun, his face changed slightly.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Still no one came to power.
Just when everyone was holding their breath and not daring to breathe, many envoys from the Six Kingdoms squinted and prepared to watch a good show.
Finally someone acted.
It was an old man with white hair.
Standing at the forefront, Lu Buwei, who looked like usual, finally put a hand into his cuff slowly.
Then in front of everyone's eyes, he took out a sacrificial tribute.
Then he stepped forward respectfully and presented it with both hands.
"Back to the king, Guanglu Temple was negligent, and the honorifics never arrived, and here in Weichen, there is also a sacrificial tribute for backup."
"To be used at the time of the sacrifice."
