Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

143

Zhao Weizhen slowly opened his eyes.

Zhangtai Palace is shrouded in the obscure morning light, and the steps in front of the main hall are towering and majestic, like an unattainable mountain.

At this very moment, Zhao Weizhen was standing on the top of this mountain.

The morning wind was as cold as a knife, blowing the sleeves and corners of her gown.The cold wind hit her bones, but she still had to straighten her spine and stand in front of her in the most solemn way.

In the same posture, there are ministers, workers and nobles standing under the steps.

At the end of autumn, the atmosphere is dignified, and everyone lowers their heads slightly to show respect and solemnity.Standing on a high place, what Zhao Weizhen saw were countless black heads, and palace gates extending into the distance that could not be seen clearly.

She turned her head to the side, and noticed that the etiquette officer and historian standing beside her were very nervous.

nervous?

Zhao Weizhen turned his head and thought for a while.

The more critical the moment is, the easier it is for people's thinking to diverge.She couldn't help but think of the theatrical performances she had seen in various scenic spots before crossing. The actors dressed as Qin Shihuang performed in front of the palace over and over again every day.

To be honest, the scene was much better than it is now.

At least the actors in the scenic area have exquisite Han costumes, complicated props, and the rebuilt steps and palace walls are full of industrial traces.

In comparison, the palace in front of me is actually much more shabby.

Thinking of this, Zhao Weizhen wanted to laugh, but after thinking about it, he realized that such "shabbyness" is the truth.

She is standing there alive.

For a moment, Zhao Weizhen couldn't laugh again.

"Your Majesty."

The ceremony officer came out and reminded in a low voice: "The time has come."

Zhao Weizhen nodded lightly.

Then the ceremony and music sounded on time.

She raised her head, looking beyond the obscurity of the morning light, and when a ray of light gradually spread from the horizon, she touched the figure of Qin Wangzheng.

The young monarch lifted his sleeves and solemnly walked forward.

Wearing a black dress, he is tall, with a straight back, and the solemn black complements his solemn demeanor. He steps firmly on the steps with every step, showing the cold and sharp majesty that a king of a country should have.

It's just that Zhao Weizhen couldn't see his face clearly, the twelve crowns covered his face, shaking slightly with Qin Wang's movements.

Yes, King Qin.

Zhao Weizhen was in a trance for a moment because he couldn't see his face clearly.

Seeing you at the beginning of the year was also such a moment.

When the day was about to light up and the night was about to rest, the courtyard in Handan was full of soldiers and horses, and his mother carried him in the door.The mother and son were all dirty, but it was completely different from the mother's fear and fear. His pair of dark phoenix eyes were filled with calmness and indifference, which surprised Zhao Weizhen.

He was only two years old at that time, but he had already seen life and death.

Immature children learn how to survive in Handan.He knew that Zhao Weizhen was willing to lend a helping hand, so he chose to grab her. He never expressed his inner anxiety, and turned all his thoughts into caution. He was so sensible that he almost didn't look like a child. He was afraid that his mother would abandon him, and Zhao Weizhen would abandon him.

Fortunately, they still came to Qin country well.

Standing as a prince, ascending to the throne in a hurry, there were risks and crises, but he still sat on the throne firmly and became the King of Qin.

Afterwards, he sent troops to conquer the Central Plains and conquered the six kingdoms. The long-cherished wish of several generations of Qin kings, the accumulation, ambition and unwillingness of several generations weighed heavily on him, but he finally resisted.

The princes of the world all belong to Qin.

This thin and tall black figure climbed up the stairs step by step, and finally reached the top.

He raised his head, through the thick crown, Zhao Weizhen was able to see the familiar phoenix eyes.

The four eyes are facing each other, but they are separated by a layer of pearls.

From today onwards, he is not just King Qin anymore.

"Ma'am." King Qin said.

Zhao Weizhen came back to his senses.

She didn't stand here in vain.

On and off the stage, from the monarch to the servants, countless civil servants, generals, and witnesses are all looking at Zhao Weizhen.

and the sword in her hand.

Zhao Weizhen also bowed his head, looking at the bronze sword firmly attached to his waist.

Everything is like a dream.

She even felt a strange sense of unreality—is this really what she should do?

But everything was experienced by Zhao Weizhen himself.

Looking back, she didn't know where she got the courage to stand in front of a monarch and bargain.

King Zhao wanted her to be a female official and a role model for women in the world.But Zhao Weizhen didn't want to be just a "model". Thinking about it today, she didn't think so much at the time.

It's just because she made some contributions, and changing a man to do the same thing has already been awarded a Marquis and a Duke.

All Zhao Weizhen wants is a reward that should belong to him.

She finally got it.

King Qin Zhao, the overlord of a generation, presented his sword to Zhao Weizhen before his death.

In the first year of King Zhao, a sword was cast, about three feet long, inscribed with the word "Jing" in seal script to show his ambition and aspirations.King Qin Zhao has been in power for more than [-] years, and has pushed the power of Qin to a new peak. However, his strength is insufficient, and his lifespan is limited. He is only one step away from unifying the world, but he can barely stop.

Zhao Weizhen slowly and solemnly untied the commandment sword from his waist.

With a little force, she held the handle with one hand and the scabbard with the other, and the three-foot-long bronze sword lay across her body.

The sword has been hanging on her for 15 years.

In just 15 years, the soldiers of Qin State no longer used the weapons in her hands.Straight swords have been replaced by long knives, bronze has been replaced by steel, and bronze swords have gradually begun to withdraw from the stage of history.

King Qin nodded imperceptibly.

So Zhao Weizhen closed his eyes, raised his hand and raised his voice.

"In the past, King Zhao gave Meng Kai the sword of commandment to supervise the Qin court. King Zhao ordered that when the world was unified, Meng Kai would personally return the sword of commandment to the monarch."

After finishing speaking, she looked at King Qin again.

The panic-stricken child turned into a young man, and then became a high-spirited young monarch, and now, it is a step further.

He is not only the King of Qin anymore.

"The Qin State is strong today, the Qin army is always victorious, the Qin State is rich and rich, and the monarch and the people are united. First conquer Han Zhao, then attack Yan Wei, set up counties in Qi Chu, and the three rivers and five mountains are all included in the Qin State territory. Since Zhou Pingwang From now on, the troubled times of the world will come to an end.”

Zhao Weizhen spoke generously, her voice was not loud, but it still lingered in front of the solemn and silent palace.

"It's time for Meng Kai to fulfill his promise."

When she was guarding in front of Xianyang Palace, it was the monarch in front of her who wobbled and brought out the extremely heavy bronze sword.

Now, no matter how he handed it to Zhao Weizhen, Zhao Weizhen raised his hands.

"Qin Wangzheng."

she said loudly.

"You haven't picked up the sword yet?"

At that moment, Zhao Weizhen could clearly sense his emotion even though Mian Yan was separated.

The shoulders and arms of Qin Wangzheng in front of him tensed imperceptibly, he curled his fingers slightly, and his two simple body movements completely exposed the mood of the young man at this time.

Zhao Weizhen was both emotional and relieved.

Qin Wangzheng took half a step back, holding the hem of his clothes, then he slightly bent his upper body, lowered his head, and raised his hands.

The hopes and rewards of the ancestors were returned to King Qin intact.

He took the Commandment Sword and got up.Following Qin Wangzheng's movements, the twelve crowns swayed away, and Zhao Weizhen was able to touch the familiar eyebrows.

Qin Wangzheng stood up.

"Is there nothing you want to say, ma'am?" he asked.

What can I say?

Zhao Weizhen couldn't help smiling.

In fact, Ying Zheng has never changed, and Zhao Weizhen knows it well.Handan, Xianyang, whether you look directly at him or across Mian, he is still him.

Sensitive, intelligent, with an extremely tenacious will and an unparalleled mind.

It's just that Zhao Weizhen can no longer pat his head and say a simple "well done" like he did back then.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Zhao Weizhen said with a smile: "Sweeping Liuhe and unifying the world will finally get what you want."

Qin Wangzheng stared at her for a moment, but couldn't help but laugh.

He clenched the sword in his hand tightly, and the glance behind the crown disappeared, and the vigorous young man turned back into the King of Qin again.

Zhao Weizhen glanced at him quietly, then slowly raised his hand.

She put her hands together in front of her chest, left hand outside and right hand inside, bowed her head solemnly, and gave King Qin a gentleman's gift that couldn't be more decent.

Zhao Weizhen had nothing to say.

From coming to this era to standing on the high platform of Zhangtai Palace, she did her best, but there was nothing she could teach.

What was said to Lu Buwei in the past is also applied to her.Qin Guotaishi, Mrs. Lunyi, and Xia Yangjun, she has come to this step, it seems to have come to an end.

King Qin has nothing to give, and there is no way forward.

It's the most suitable here.

A relationship always has an end.

Zhao Weizhen got up and looked at King Qin again.

"Your Majesty," she whispered, "It is Meng Kai's honor to be acquainted with Your Majesty."

The monarch in front of him turned his head sideways.

She couldn't see his expression clearly, but Zhao Weizhen could see King Qin's throat moving.A moment later, in the cold wind, his words were so soft that they could hardly be heard.

But Zhao Weizhen still heard it.

In other words, she "felt" it.

"It is also an honor for me to get acquainted with my wife," he said.

Zhao Weizhen suddenly raised a bright smile.

She put down her hands, stepped back slowly, and stood at the corner of the high platform.

After Zhao Weizhen stood still, the ritual officer was able to step forward.The young ceremony official gave King Qin a serious look, and then turned to the countless ministers and workers under the steps.

Tell the ministers, and even tell the world.

"Today has been decided. If the name is not changed, there is no way to call it a success and pass it on to future generations. Qin Wangzheng reigned for No. 11 years, with a humble body, Lai Zongmiao has a spirit, Xingyi Bingping, the six kings Xianfu is guilty of his crimes. The king of Qin surpassed the three emperors with his achievements, and his achievements surpassed the five emperors.

"In ancient times, the country did not have a posthumous title. In the Middle Ages, it was called the first king, and the posthumous title was given by his actions after death. In this way, sons talk about their fathers, and ministers talk about the emperor. There is no etiquette and no system. From now on, the law of posthumous posthumous titles will be abolished in the world. From the beginning of Qin Wangzheng, known as the first emperor, there are countless descendants, the second, third, and even ten thousand generations, and it will be passed down forever*."

235 BC New Year's Day, a day when the old and the new alternate.

In this unfamiliar timeline, Emperor Qin Shihuang Yingzheng took the seat that belonged to him one step earlier.

Thus, a new era officially kicked off.
