People drifted to lose contact in Qin Dynasty

The startled salamander couldn't help but froze when he heard the words, and immediately a few blushes appeared on his face.

……

Mencius once said, "Confucius climbed Dongshan and made Lu smaller, and climbed Taishan and made the world smaller!"

After Bai Chuan descended from Mount Tai, he didn't feel that the world had become smaller, but that the world was about to be unified, which meant that the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, which lasted for hundreds of years, had come to an end.

Not long after meeting Yingzheng in Baichuan and telling Yingzheng about the achievements of his Qi Guo and his party.

Under the leadership of Wang Ben, Qin's army, which had rested for a period of time, suddenly marched towards Qi.

For a moment, the entire Qi country felt a sense of oppression as a black cloud overwhelmed the city.

At the same time, in the city of Linzi, Hou Sheng also began to fulfill the deal with Qin State, inducing Qi Wangjian to surrender.

Chapter 475 Six kings complete, one universal!

The land of Qi State, which had been at peace for many years, finally began to be in chaos, and a mighty storm suddenly arose.

First, Qin general Wang Ben led an army of [-] to attack Qi from the front. The Qi army was unable to resist and was defeated one after another.

Meng Tian led [-] Qin troops to march by water and landed in Jimo, directly threatening the safety of Linzi.

If only this is the case.

It was also during this time that five thousand bandits came out of nowhere, chanting slogans such as 'The King of Qi is incompetent', and wandered around the territory of Qi State, which caused King Qi's prestige to plummet.

There are thieves inside, strong enemies outside, internal troubles and foreign aggressions, nothing more than this... Maybe it was too much pressure, and Qi Wangjian fell ill because of it, but some people will not feel pity for others when they are sick, and give up. against him.

For example, Hou Sheng... after King Jian of Qi was ill for more than ten days, after receiving the news that Meng Tian's army was about to enter Linzi City, he entered the Palace of King Qi again.

Perhaps, this is the last time.

Under the situation where the army is suppressing the border, there are internal troubles at home, and foreign aggression at home, everything has just begun, and it has come to a sharp end.

King Qi finally surrendered under tremendous pressure.

Just like the original history, or in other words, from the beginning of Qin's journey to unify the world, until now, history has only come to the original track again.

Without any resistance, the process of Wang Ben and Meng Tian regaining the Qi State was shockingly peaceful. When the two armies gathered and came to Linzi City together, all they saw was Qi Wangjian who opened the city gate and surrendered, and Qi Wangjian who had been in the city early. After waiting for a long time, Xiangguo won.

At this point, Qi State was destroyed.

Its demise was also beyond the expectations of many people in the world, and made many anti-Qin elements and the remnants of the Five Kingdoms who were determined to revenge were stunned and unwilling.

With the successive collapse of the five kingdoms, almost all the lords, ministers, military officers, soldiers, and knight-errants of the five kingdoms went to Qi, which seemed to be the most concentrated area of ​​anti-Qin forces.They had already put in all their strength, waiting for Qi to fight Qin, and then joined the Qi army to fight Qin to the death, but unexpectedly, the king of Qi surrendered without even resisting.

But if you think about it carefully, this is not something unpredictable.

As far as the forces of the five countries that have been destroyed, they hoped to use Qi to fight Qin, but they never thought about whether Qi was willing to fight Qin.

Not to mention that five of the six eastern countries in the world today have been eliminated, and there is only one Qi country left. When fighting Qin, it is undoubtedly an egg hitting a rock and bringing about its own destruction.There is also Qi Xiang who wins later, and has been bribed by Qin State for decades. It is because of his mediation in these decades that Qi State will sit and watch the princes perish one after another. If you don’t practice and the people don’t teach, even if Qi State wants to fight Qin State, it doesn’t have that kind of ability. It can be said that Qin State was able to destroy Qi State without fighting, and the victory in the future is a great contribution.

On the contrary, it is extremely ridiculous for the remaining forces of the Five Kingdoms to rely on Qi to deal with Qin.

……

The Ba River flows continuously, and the Ba Bridge runs across it, connecting the two banks of the Ba River.

On this day, thousands of people gathered by the Baqiao to watch the grand occasion of Qi Wangjian's entry into Qin Dynasty.

Among them were passers-by and local farmers, all of them were very excited, pointing and pointing at the princes and grandchildren, palace ladies and maidservants, tall slender ladies, and officials who stepped onto the Baqiao one after another.

It is said that entering the court is actually just a nice way of saying it. In essence, it is no different from the other countries that were destroyed in the past, and brought a few kings, grandchildren and nobles to Xianyang to offer prisoners. As Qi surrendered without a fight, these people, all It's just a prisoner of Qin.

But seeing those princes and grandchildren in full silk and silk with silk and silk with their heads downcast, while the palace maids and maidservants were weeping, their make-up had been messed up, all the officials sighed in three steps.

And situations like this have happened five times in the past few years.

This is already the sixth time. In the past, more embarrassing scenes than this have happened.

And speaking carefully, Qi Wangjian's treatment is not bad, perhaps because Qi State surrendered voluntarily, did not fight Qin State, and no Qin soldiers died on the battlefield because of destroying Qi, escorting Qi Wangjian into Qin State The soldiers did not humiliate Qi Wangjian either.

This is also the second time Qi Wangjian came to Qin.

When he came to Qin for the first time, he brought a lot of gifts to Ying Zheng. Afterwards, under the leadership of Ying Zheng, he visited Qin for a long time and had a good impression of this country. I am happy to conclude a brotherly covenant with King Qin. I thought that after signing the covenant with Qin, the two countries could achieve permanent peace.

As a result, they did not expect that the Qi State would fall in the hands of Qin.

Compared with that year, Qi Wangjian's appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes. Let alone his haggard face, his originally jet-black hair has become extremely pale at some point.

Compared with Hou Sheng, Prime Minister of Qi State, he was more like Hou Sheng's uncle.

Next to the Baqiao, Bai Chuan held Xiu'er's hand in one hand, and Gongsun Liji and Jing Xiong stood on the other side. Their family also came to watch the ceremony when Qi Wangjian entered Qin Dynasty.

Gongsun Liji's eyes flickered, seeing with her own eyes the fate of the chief culprit who brought her into the Qin Kingdom, she couldn't help but let out a sigh.

At the same time, her mood is quite complicated.

If you talk about hatred, when you came to Qin State at the beginning of the year, you really hated King Qi Jian and Hou Sheng. If it weren't for them, she would have stayed quietly in Qi State at that time, guarding the mausoleum for her grandfather!

As a result, because of them, he suffered an indiscriminate disaster and was forcibly taken to Qin.

But on the other hand, it was also in Qin, where she met Bai Chuan and had Xiu'er at the same time.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Liji couldn't help looking at Xiu'er, who was held by Bai Chuan, with soft eyes.

Beside Gongsun Liji, Bai Chuan also looked at the monarch and minister of Qi State who was escorted to Qin State, Qi Wangjian, he had met once when he came to Qin State, and if he won the victory, he had met in Qi State not long ago.

This time, when he saw the two of them, the monarch and his ministers, come to Qin, he had a different feeling in his heart.

With the demise of the Qi State, since then, the Spring and Autumn and Warring States era, which lasted for more than 500 years with endless chaos and frequent wars, finally came to an end. The past history and glory were all turned into dust in the shadow of the new world.There are no more Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei in the world, and all the glory of the Central Plains belongs to only one country-Qin.

The tenacious resistance that had been going on until death collapsed one by one under the ruthless iron hoof; the heroes who were once chaotic and divided were melted into a complete territory;

"The six kings are complete, and the four seas are one!"

These six words have already said everything.

Chapter 476 The Legend of Longevity

With the fall of Qi, the four seas will return to one.

Yingzheng finally fulfilled the ambition he had talked about with Han Fei when he was in South Korea, completed the great achievements of Kyushu Tongtong and Liutong Feng, and established an unprecedented empire.

With a new empire and a new atmosphere, it is naturally impossible to govern this new country as Qin was governed in the past.

Many ministers above the court are talking about it every day, following their discussions.

A series of government orders were issued sequentially from the court.

Abolishing the division of feudal titles, implementing prefectures and counties... the same texts, the same track, and the same behavior... Almost every new decree will cause a huge disturbance in all parts of the world. The soldiers who survived the Great War were not idle either. From east to west, from south to north, including the remaining six countries, they ran around in the vast unified land, suppressing rebellions and disturbances.

Under the suppression of the Qin army, the turmoil in various places was quickly extinguished as soon as it broke out. Regardless of whether the remaining people of the six countries are willing or not, their homeland is gone. Now they are all the people of the Great Qin, and they must obey the Great Qin Under the harsh laws, they worked hard to learn the characters and customs of the Qin State... From food, clothing, housing, transportation, to weights and measures, all kinds of details in life, this unified empire is developing Slow change bit by bit.

However, under the calm appearance, the so-called undercurrent is always indispensable.

Those remnants of the Six Kingdoms whose families have been ruined but whose ambitions are not dead, subjugated and rebellious, after all, they can't change their ambition of revenge. However, Qin has just achieved reunification, and it is at the height of the sun, so they can't see the slightest chance , they can only carefully dormant, dormant... and then wait, wait for the opportunity of revenge.

The farmhouses hiding in the deep mountains and wandering between the rivers and lakes, the remnants of Chu Xiang who fled all the way after the fall of Chu State, the last fire of Chu State... All the rebels seemed to disappear on the earth at this moment, and the world was peaceful It's terrible, only the big Qin cavalry is running around, reaching the vast desert in the west, the sea in the east, Lingnan in the south, and the northern part of the Great Wall... There is no other voice in the world except Qin.

In the depths of Mount Li, the house of Yin and Yang.

That night, Donghuang Taiyi was defeated by Bai Chuan, and after Dongjun defected, the entire Onmyo family suddenly fell silent, and the usually arrogant Onmyo family disciples also became much more low-key overnight.

The only thing he did during this period was probably that after Chu was destroyed, the Moon God entered the Zhangtai Palace and mentioned something to Ying Zheng cryptically.

That is to build a mirage and go to the sea to seek immortality.

It's just that the world was uncertain at that time, and spending a lot of financial and material resources to build a mirage was not beneficial to the country, so Ying Zheng did not agree.

This time, as the Qin State destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world, the Yin-Yang family finally couldn't hold back their loneliness and took action again.

In other words, they took refuge in Qin State because Qin State hoped to unify the world and collect all the Canglong Qisu.

Even though the Canglong Qisu still haven't gathered together, not all the Canglong Qisu have disappeared with the country's collapse. At least, in Qin's hands, they already own more than half of the Canglong Qisu.

Even if it is a bit reluctant, the plan can indeed be carried out.

In the cold and lonely night, Ziwei Xingyuan hangs above the sky with an unprecedented radiance, and Donghuang Taiyi, who looks like a sculpture perched on a nine-story high platform, suddenly made a hexagram on a whim.

Then he was sent to Xianyang Palace overnight.

The specific content of this hexagram is known to no one except Yingzheng and Donghuang Taiyi, but it is said to be related to two characters, and the two characters are - longevity!

The "Tao Te Ching" has: The reason why the heaven and the earth can last forever is that they can't live on their own, so they can live forever.

Live forever, live forever.

It can be said that this is something that almost everyone in the world desires.

As early as many years ago, after the Yinyang family attacked Han Fei and tried to steal the secret of Canglong Qisu from him and failed, Donghuang Taiyi went to Xianyang Palace in person and persuaded Ying Zheng not to pursue the Yinyang family with the theory of longevity.

He even persuaded Ying Zheng to allow the Yin Yang family to explore Canglong Qisu.

However, Yingzheng was young and strong at that time, and he put all his heart and soul into destroying the six kingdoms and establishing a unified country. Although he also yearned for immortality, he did not put all his energy in pursuing the illusory dream. On the road of longevity.

Right now, the world has been unified, he has created an unprecedented great cause, the ambition of the past has been achieved, everything in the world has become his own, whether it is power, wealth...he has reached the peak.

For him now, as long as there is something in this world, he can reach out and get it.

In the secular world, he is also at the top, so, inevitably, after his ambition swelled to a certain level, he finally cast his sights on those fields that are difficult to reach in the secular world.

In Zhangtai Palace, the lights were dim.

After many years, Donghuang Taiyi once again brought up the matter of overseas fairy mountains in front of Yingzheng.

Yingzheng heard about the reality of the Overseas Fairy Mountains and the Fountain of Youth many years ago, and even how to get to the Overseas Fairy Mountains, the Yin Yang family also gave an explanation.

Build a mirage, go to the overseas fairy mountains, take Canglong Qisu as a token, open the enchantment around the fairy mountains, and enter the fairy mountains.

After listening to Donghuang Taiyi again about how to obtain the elixir of life, Ying Zheng asked Donghuang Taiyi another question, "Except for the Canglong Qisu and building a mirage, what else do you need?"

Hearing these words, Dong Huangtai could not help but draw a sneer under his mask.

When Ying Zheng said this, it meant that he was already tempted by immortality.

Not surprising.

When the world was not unified, Yingzheng would naturally not pursue that illusory time, but now, the world has all belonged to the Qin State, Yingzheng is the supreme under heaven, everything in the world is omnipresent, and what he pursues naturally has the secular world The middle turns to the outside world.

Longevity is one of them!

After pondering for a while, Dong Huangtai opened his mouth and said: "The overseas fairy mountains are vague and invisible. If we want to find the exact location of the fairy mountains, we need one more thing."

"what?"

"The most precious treasure guarded by the witches in Shushan - Fusang Shenmu! The Fusang Shenmu is the gate of the gods, the human world, and the underworld. The gate of the gods and people has been cut off because of the unparalleled connection between heaven and earth, so we still need it as a guide. Let us Can successfully reach the fairy mountain."

"Shushan..." Ying Zheng's eyes flickered when he heard this strange address, and finally, he made a decision.

In the middle of the night, Donghuang Taiyi left Zhangtai Palace and returned to Yinyang's house.

Not long after he left, another person came to Zhangtai Palace.

"I have seen His Majesty the Emperor!"

Bai Chuan cupped his hands and saluted Ying Zheng.

Chapter 477: Way of Prolonging Life

In the Zhangtai Palace, Yingzheng recounted what Donghuang Taiyi said about the overseas fairy mountains, mirages, and hibiscus tree, and then asked Bai Chuan, "What do you think about this?"

Bai Chuan pondered for a while, and said, "Full of lies!"

"Oh?" Ying Zheng was a little surprised, as if curious why Bai Chuan made such a judgment.

“How come you see?”

Bai Chuan said in a deep voice: "Canglong Qisu is indeed mysterious, but throughout the ages, many people have understood his mystery. If it is really related to longevity, why is there no immortal person in this world?"

This alone reveals the deception of longevity.

If there are really immortal people in this world, why is there no one in this world?

Ying Zheng's eyes froze when he heard Bai Chuan's straightforward words, but he didn't immediately agree with Bai Chuan's words, but murmured, "Maybe it's because those who cracked Canglong Qisu don't have the ability to go to overseas fairy mountains. Take the elixir!"

There is also some truth to this statement.

After all, those who suspected to have uncovered the secrets of the Canglong Qisu in the past were not as good as the current Great Qin, who ruled the world and became rich all over the world.National strength alone is not on the same level. In addition to national strength, there is also technology.

Technology is advancing.

At least with the previous technology, it is very difficult to build a mirage out to sea.

Bai Chuan remained silent, but Ying Zheng could still see his thoughts from his expression.

"So, you insist that the claim of the elixir of life is a lie?"
