The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Killing one's closest relatives and surviving, this is the first step to becoming a dead man, which is why Du Changjing asked them to form a team by themselves, because they guessed that they would find their best friends to go in together.

The dead are not qualified to have feelings, let alone control their own lives. They are the killing machines of those in power, and they are not allowed to frown at a single order!

This can't be blamed on anyone, if you want to blame it, you can only blame this world where human lives are worthless!

Facing the children's cries, Du Changjing turned around indifferently and ignored them!

A day passed quickly. During this day, the broken yard was filled with the cries of children. No one picked up a dagger and stabbed their friends. They were all enduring the hunger in their stomachs and the dryness of their throats. , expecting Du Changjing to let them go the next day.

The next day, there was no more crying in the broken yard, only weak moaning, because they were too hungry and had no energy, so they still didn't do anything.

On the third day, a child finally couldn't bear the hunger in his belly, abandoned his feelings, and cruelly picked up a dagger and stabbed his friend in the back!

The small room is like the Colosseum, which completely shows the unbearable human nature. The moment the sharp dagger pierces the friend's body, the heart of the knife holder is dead, and he becomes a person without emotion.

"I killed them all, let me out!" A deep and cold voice came from a room.

Holding two steamed buns and a pot of water in his hands, Du Changjing walked slowly towards the room, looked into the room through the window, and saw a child sitting on the ground covered in blood, and nine corpses lying in a pool of blood, Du Changjing opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, the last surviving child rushed forward, stabbing Du Changjing's heart with a sharp dagger. The corner of Du Changjing's mouth curled up, showing disdain, and he raised his hand and slapped it away. , the strong internal force surged out, hitting the child on the forehead forcefully.

"Bang!" There was a sound like a watermelon shattering, white brains splashed everywhere, and the young body fell straight.

"Hey!"

Du Changjing sighed, not surprised by this, which is why he would tell Yingchang that sometimes one of a hundred people cannot survive. In addition to this reason, there is another reason, such as the last living The next child was seriously injured and died.

With the passage of time, each room experienced a cannibalism. It has to be said that what happened in the first room happened twice after that. Without any accident, Du Changjing smashed his head , becoming a headless corpse.

Of the ten children who survived in the end, except for the three who tried to assassinate Du Changjing, three died of serious injuries. In the end, only four of the 100 children remained.

Chapter 52 Four years in a flash!

This is not over yet, Du Changjing started the second round of selection, the four people were divided into two teams, and the two killed each other, and finally the four became two people, and Du Changjing was finally willing to let go of the last two.

The first batch of dead soldiers have been selected, and then they only need to be honed step by step, and the dead soldiers are almost formed.

Two dead men were far from enough, so Du Changjing went to buy orphans from human traffickers again, and then went through the process again.

As time goes by, the officials who went to the Jin Empire to negotiate peace returned to Xianyang and formally handed over Nanyang County and Hebei County. From then on, Daqin was left with Guangfeng County in the southwest, Hexi County in the west, and The base camp is Shangyang County.

What I have to say is that Nanyang County was ceded, and all the [-] garrisons in Nanguan went to Xiguan. In other words, Xiguan now has [-] garrisons!

Four years later, on November [-]th of the seventh year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, at [-]:[-] pm at night, Xianyang Palace!

In the dormitory, twelve-year-old Ying Chang was wearing a black inner robe and sitting cross-legged on the dragon couch. In the past four years, Ying Chang had grown a lot, his face was no longer immature, his eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were deep-set , with erect facial features and a handsome appearance, with traces of the majesty of the emperor revealed between his brows.

"call!"

Yingchang let out a long breath of foul air, looked into a dark corner, "Come out, I found you!"

"Your Majesty's progress in martial arts is really embarrassing for the last general!" The figure of Du Changjing stepped out of the dark corner, with a smile and pride on his face.

The progress of Yingchang's martial arts is really scary. It only took four years to become a half-step perfect master from an ordinary person. The martial arts realm has been equal to that of Du Changjing. Du Changjing was hiding just now to test Yingchang's martial arts .

But if the two really fight, Yingchang is not Du Changjing's opponent. After all, although Yingchang has a high level of martial arts, he has no combat experience.

"I just broke through a few days ago, and now I just stabilized!" Ying Chang's mouth curled up, revealing a heartfelt smile.

Now Ying Chang is no longer worried about the failure of the palace change, because even if he fails, he can escape from Xianyang in the chaos and still make a comeback!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Du Changjing bowed down respectfully and said.

"No need to be too polite, let's talk about business!" Ying Chang's expression became serious, and he couldn't wait anymore.

During these four years, Empress Dowager Min squandered all the money and food left in the treasury. The court was extremely corrupt.

Many people could not afford to eat, so they started stealing chickens and dogs, robbing houses, and occupying mountains as kings. The whole Qin Dynasty was in chaos. Empress Dowager Min never cared about those bandits who occupied mountains as kings, the people in power, let alone the local government. Collusion between officials and bandits often occurs.

Some common people couldn't stand the oppression of the Daqin government, and dragged their families to the Jin Empire and became Jin citizens. The Jin Empire also maintained a welcoming attitude towards this, and would not refuse anyone who came.

The Great Qin Empire seems to have become a terminally ill old man, and it is very likely that one day, he will suddenly die of illness...

Yingchang knows that time waits for no one, and if we wait any longer, the Great Qin Empire will perish, so we must regain the imperial power as soon as possible to save Great Qin!

"Yes!" Du Changjing nodded solemnly, then raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, in the past four years, the last general has trained a total of two hundred dead soldiers. Among these dead soldiers, the oldest is 16 years old and the youngest is 14 years old. [-] years old, although he is a little young, but all martial arts are above average, one can deal with ten, there is no problem!"

In order to train this team of dead soldiers, Du Changjing spent 10,000+ taels of silver. The dead soldiers ate and used the best. They also bought a lot of medicinal materials to soak every day, and the silver flowed out like running water every day, but these It's all worth it, as long as the palace change is successful, 10,000+ taels is nothing, even 100 million taels, it's worth it!

Ying Chang nodded in satisfaction. Two hundred dead men can be equal to ten with one, that is to say, they can withstand two thousand imperial guards, which is enough for palace changes. After all, it is not to kill all five thousand imperial guards, but to control the queen mother's party That's all.

"When is Your Majesty going to act?" Du Changjing asked impatiently.

Ying Chang's eyes narrowed, and several rays of light bloomed, "The premise of the palace change is to mix our people into the palace, and the day after tomorrow is the mother's 30th birthday, and the mother likes to watch operas, so you cooperate with Chang Zifei, and you bring The dead man pretended to be an opera singer, and then publicized that you are a famous opera troupe from Daqi, as long as your reputation can spread throughout Xianyang, the queen mother will definitely choose you to enter the palace to sing opera!"

"This...isn't this a bit too risky? If they find out that Daqi doesn't have our troupe, wouldn't it be a failure?" Du Changjing said hesitantly, with a hint of worry on his face.

The plan has reached the most critical step, but there must be no mistakes.

Yingchang smiled calmly, and said with a confident smile: "Our Daqin and Daqi don't have a deep relationship, and even say that they often fight against each other, which makes Qi merchants and Qi people hate Daqin very much. I can say that in the entire Xianyang City, there is no one who is People from Qi, Shang and Qi, so as long as you pat your chest and promise, absolutely no one will doubt your authenticity!"

After hearing these words, Du Changjing pondered for a while, then raised his hand and wrote back: "Okay, I'll contact Mr. Chang at the end!"

"Well, let's go!" Yingchang nodded.

Soon, Du Changjing left Xianyang Palace and went to Changfu.

After Du Changjing left, Ying Chang walked to the window, looked at the bright moon and stars hanging in the sky, and looked at the silver light emitted by the bright moon. Ying Chang firmly believed that he would become the bright moon in the night sky, and the Great Qin Empire would also become a bright moon. The sun of the day!

There is Daqin in the west, rising like the sun!

The next day, there was only one day left before Empress Dowager Min's birthday.

Oasis Palace!

In the bedroom of Ganquan Palace, Empress Dowager Min was lying in Li Sanfang's arms with an intoxicated and tender expression on her face. Li Sanfang was shirtless and looked at the beauty in her arms tenderly. After a while, Li Sanfang said tenderly: "The Empress Dowager , Tomorrow is your birthday, you see, which troupe would be better?"

"Naturally, please the best..." Queen Mother Min replied gently with her eyes closed.

"Recently, it has been rumored that a famous troupe from the Great Qi Empire has come to Xianyang. As soon as this troupe came to Xianyang, its reputation spread throughout the city. The slave girl thought, should I invite this troupe from the Great Qi Empire to come to Xianyang? Your birthday?" Li Sanfang said with a flattering face.

Empress Dowager Min opened her eyes and got out of Li Sanfang's arms, with a puzzled look on her face, she asked, "Da Qi's troupe? Da Qi and Da Qin have never been in contact. Why did a troupe suddenly come here at this time?"

"This... the Empress Dowager, the opera troupe has to eat anyway, maybe they came here from Daqi to celebrate your birthday to see the Empress Dowager, you like to watch operas!" Li Sanfang said with a smile on her face. .

Chapter 53 Palace Change ([-])

Fadao reminds you: ask for collection () after reading, and it is more convenient to read again.

"Oh?" Empress Dowager Min frowned, and the suspicion in her heart dissipated instantly, "That's okay, just invite Daqi's troupe to sing a good show for Ai's family, by the way, go to the household department to get 1000 taels of silver It's not easy for him to travel all the way, so give him all the money and let him sing to Aijia happily!"

How does the money from the Daqin treasury be squandered? That’s how it is. Every time Empress Dowager Min invites a troupe into the palace, she pays at least 500 taels of silver as labor expenses. .

"Yes, servant girl, let's go!"

Li Sanfang was delighted when he heard the words. This is what he was waiting for. The Empress Dowager Min asked him to take one thousand, he would take one thousand five, and then give five hundred to the troupe, and he would make a net profit of one thousand. That's why he said Starting a theater troupe is for greedy money!

.......

At three o'clock in the night, the Imperial Palace, Xianyang Palace!

"Your Majesty is really good at predicting things. Just after the general and Mr. Chang finished the publicity, Li Sanfang, the head of the palace, found the general and gave the general 500 taels of silver. He asked the general to take the troupe to the palace to sing, and gave it back. Entry Token!"

"He didn't realize that you are Du Changjing, did he?"

In the dark bedroom, Du Changjing stood beside Yingchang, reporting the situation to Yingchang.

"No, he doesn't know me, and besides, I changed my face when I saw him!" Du Changjing shook his head and replied.

call!Ying Chang heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a rather nervous expression: "If you can sneak into the palace, half of the plan is completed. The four-year plan is only for today. Whether it can be successful depends on tomorrow night!"

Du Changjing straightened his face, bowed to Yingchang with a respectful expression and shouted softly: "Your Majesty is just waiting to hold the imperial power in your hand and conquer the world!"

Yingchang couldn't help smiling, "Okay, I'll wait!"

"Then I will resign first!" Du Changjing made his resignation ceremony, and with Ying Chang's consent, Du Changjing left Xianyang Palace soon...

Time passed slowly, and at the next day, Chengde Gate of the Imperial Palace!

A convoy of 200 people slowly walked towards Chengde Gate, when the convoy came to the gate, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army on duty immediately stopped him, stared at Du Changjing, who was easy to see, and shouted: "Who are you? "

Du Changjing quickly walked over with a flattering face, took out the token that Li Sanfang gave him, and said with a smile: "Master Li, we are the troupe invited by Director Li. Look, this is the token!"

The Chief of the Imperial Forest Army frowned, took the token and observed carefully, and after confirming that there was no difference, he returned the token to Du Changjing, and then pointed to the driveway of the three carriages: "We want to check your carriages!"

Du Changjing's heart tightened. The surface of the carriage seemed to be filled with utensils for acting, but the bottom layer contained daggers and short crossbows. It would be worthwhile if they were found.

Du Changjing was quick to be wise, and quickly took out a 100 tael silver note from his arms, secretly stuffed it into the arms of the chief of the Imperial Forest Army, and then said softly: "Mr. I’m in a hurry, we can’t afford it, please accommodate me.”

The Imperial Army's long eyes glanced at the denomination, and when he saw that it was 100 taels, his face couldn't help being moved, and then he quickly stuffed it into his arms, and then smiled at Du Changjing: "Okay, since Director Li is waiting, I won't search. Hurry up and go in!"

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Jun, thank you!" Du Changjing repeatedly bowed down to thank him, heaving a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Du Changjing led people through the Chengde Gate and entered the palace. The moment he entered the palace, Du Changjing subconsciously took a deep breath, and felt a little nervous. Whether it can be done or not depends on today.

"Be careful, don't show your feet!" Du Changjing said softly with a solemn face.

All the dead men nodded.

After a while, Du Changjing found Li Sanfang, and Li Sanfang took them to an empty hall, asked Du Changjing and others to make up and prepare, and then asked Du Changjing and others to wait in the hall for summons.

At three o'clock in the night, Fengtian Temple!

"Master Zhu, please!"

"Haha, Master Chang is here, sit down!"

"What gift did Master Chang bring?"

"It's nothing, it's not as valuable as Mr. Li's gift!"

"Master Chang can't say that. The weight of the gift is second, and the most important thing is the heart!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Civil and military officials entered the Fengtian Hall one after another, and many ministers chatted with the ministers they were familiar with excitedly. Chang Zifei, a big corrupt official, naturally also chatted with a group of corrupt officials, but Chang Zifei was absent-minded and looked away from time to time. To the dragon chair on the high platform.

In addition to his absent-mindedness, there are also Yang Ze, the servant of the military department, and Jia Luo, the doctor of the household department...

Yingchang and Queen Mother Min were still waiting in the apse, and they would not take their seats until all the civil and military officials had arrived.

With the passage of time, after Wei Huai, Qiu Yisheng and other court officials all took their seats one after another, Li Sanfang stood under the high platform and shouted: "The Empress Dowager is here!"

The civil and military officials who were seated got up one after another and walked to the center of the hall. Not long after, Empress Dowager Min took Yingchang's hand and walked up to the high platform. Shouted and shouted: "I will pay my respects to the empress dowager, long live the empress dowager, long live the empress dowager, I will pay my respects to your majesty, long live your majesty, long live my majesty, I will congratulate the empress dowager on Christmas, and wish the empress dowager a blessing like the East China Sea, Subi Nanshan!"

Empress Dowager Min raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a pair of small dimples on her beautiful cheeks, and raised her hand to the kneeling officials, her tone was neither light nor heavy, and she said with a hint of a smile: "Plain body!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" All civil and military officials replied in unison, then slowly got up, and returned to their own seats, come on, just ignore Ying Chang.

Yingchang is also used to it. What is this? He still remembers that once when he went to court, all the officials did not call to see His Majesty, but only called to see the Empress Dowager. In today's Great Qin world, people only know the Queen Mother of Qin but not the Emperor Qin. Low.

"Empress Dowager, I just recently obtained a rare pearl, which is specially dedicated to the Empress Dowager. I wish the Empress Dowager stay young forever and never age!" Wei Huai said to Empress Dowager Min with a smile on his face.

"A rare pearl? Take it and see, Aijia wants to see how rare this pearl can be!"

She is also a well-informed woman. She has never seen what kind of pearls. When Wei Huai said this, she suddenly became curious.

Wei Huai smiled confidently, and he promised that as soon as this pearl was taken out, all the gifts that the officials were going to give would be crushed into scum!

"Crack! Crack!"

Wei Huai clapped his hands twice, and after the applause fell, a court lady carefully walked into the hall holding a wooden box. Wei Huai immediately walked up to the maid, took the wooden box, then walked to the center of the hall, and looked around the officials proudly , "Keep your eyes wide open, this is something you have never seen in your life!"

Chapter 54 Palace Change ([-])

Hearing this, the curiosity of all the officials was even more aroused. They all looked at the wooden box with wide eyes, and even Yingchang was a little curious.

Wei Huai smiled triumphantly, and then reached out to open the lid of the box. As soon as the lid was opened, all civil and military officials were shocked. They saw a small pearl in the wooden box, and all the officials were shocked. What matters is not the size of the pearl, but the color of the pearl, and the luminescence!

That's right, this pearl is golden in color, exuding a golden light, which is very beautiful.

"This... is this a pearl?" Empress Dowager Min was also surprised. Pearls can't shine. Could it be that Wei Huai is ignorant and regarded Ye Mingzhu as a pearl?

"That's right, this is a pearl. It was bought by a minister from a fisherman of the Wei Empire with a lot of money. I heard from the fisherman that this pearl is not an ordinary pearl, but the inner alchemy of a mermaid in the South China Sea. If you carry it for a long time, it will have Moisturizing and nourishing yin, the effect of prolonging life every year!" Wei Huai said proudly and proudly.

In order to buy this golden pearl, he spent a total of one million taels of silver. He couldn't believe that there was a gift more expensive than this golden pearl at today's birthday banquet!

"The legend of the South China Sea, I have also heard about the mermaid. I heard that the tears shed by this mermaid will turn into pearls. The prime minister said just now that this golden pearl is the inner alchemy of the mermaid. It seems true!" Wei Huai said. The number one celebrity, Chang Zifei, said in amazement.

"The next official is also an eye-opener!"
