Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

(Please subscribe, please order, thank you all~!)

Since Qin Xiaogong moved the capital to Xianyang, the old Qin people began to build this city on a large scale. After nearly a hundred years from King Huiwen to King Zhuangxiang, Xianyang, the capital of Qin, has become The first-class metropolis in China.

Xianyang is divided into north and south districts with the Wei River as the axis, and the political center of Qin State is in the north district of Xianyang.

Xianyang Palace occupies a vast area, with an overall area of ​​nearly four square kilometers, including 300 palaces, which are prosperous and prosperous.

In this pre-Qin period, such a huge palace complex was almost a miracle.

Zhangtai Palace is where the King of Qin rested and worked. Although the King of Qin has not yet taken charge of the palace, Lu Buwei is responsible for almost everything, no matter how big or small.

However, many government decrees had to be signed by the King of Qin, so that even now that Ying Zheng was not personally in charge, he could still have contact with government affairs from time to time.

Even though he does not have any decision-making power, he can still learn enough experience in handling various documents.

Ying Zheng was wearing white regular clothes, not the black royal clothes he wore when he went to court.

In Ying Zheng's view, Zhou etiquette was really too troublesome. The emperor even had to wear six kinds of formal attire, which he found quite cumbersome.

If you wait until you take charge, you will definitely abolish five of them, leaving only the least ceremonial one, and keep everything simple.

He was thinking about things in his mind, and quickly gathered his thoughts, focusing on the bamboo slips in his hand for review.

The palace was very quiet, and no one dared to disturb Ying Zheng while he was reviewing the memorial.

After an unknown amount of time, Ying Zheng straightened his waist and moved a little, feeling exhausted.

At this time, there were no later generations of paper or improved writing brushes. Although the improvement of writing brushes was very recent, writing on bamboo slips was a troublesome physical job.

In addition, making bamboo slips is even more cumbersome, weighs a lot, and takes up a lot of area. From this, we can see how troublesome writing is. We can also understand why knowledge was monopolized by nobles in the pre-Qin period, and why those books were concise and concise.

"Zhang Han."

Ying Zheng habitually called Zhang Han, but no one agreed.

At this time, Ying Zheng remembered that his minister, Shu Cheng, was not around at this time, but was sent outside Xianyang to check on the capital of Ying. When will the incoming army arrive?

"Your Majesty, leave these to me."

At this moment, a young and gentle male voice came from behind Ying Zheng. A handsome man in his twenties who was not wearing official uniforms came forward and said respectfully.

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Guy."

Ying Zheng nodded, closed the bamboo slips in his hands, and handed them to Gai Nie.

Gai Nie temporarily took over Zhang Han's work, walked aside with the bamboo slips, and placed them on a scale.

This was given by Ying Zheng. To set a goal for himself, he must review enough memorials every day, mark them with weight, and work tirelessly. He has been doing this for several years since he became sensible after he ascended the throne.

Just this diligence as a king is enough. I don’t know how much higher he is than the kings of the other six kingdoms. There must be a reason for Qin’s current national strength.

"Calculating the time, the third brother should be arriving in Xianyang soon. I hope he won't encounter any more troubles along the way."

As he said this, Ying Zheng frowned and became worried.

Gai Nie put the bamboo slips away and said at the right time:"……Qin's territory is stable, and Lord Chang'an is protected by a large army. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, Lord Chang'an will return safely."

Ying Zheng smiled when he heard this:"……But if few people care, it will lead to chaos"

"The king also cares about his younger brother. This relationship between brothers is enviable. Gai Nie complimented.

Ying Zheng laughed:"……It turns out that Mr. Guy can also say such flattery."

Gai Nie couldn't answer the question at this time.

In Guigu, although the previous generation Guiguzi didn't teach him and Wei Zhuang the art of vertical and horizontal, he only taught the basic concepts and the swordsmanship of Guigu.

But this does not mean that Gai Nie has low emotional intelligence and cannot speak.

On the contrary, as a member of the Guigu Zongheng lineage, even if he is not good at Zongheng, he can still say nice things.

Well, looking at it this way, Gai Nie just learned it wrongly, and Wei Zhuang Then he went to his grandma's house to study.

There was a rush of footsteps outside Zhangtai Palace, and Zhang Han's figure appeared in front of Ying Zheng and Gai Nie.

"Zhang Han, you are in such a hurry, what happened? Ying

Zheng asked calmly.

Zhang Han quickly knelt down, cupped his hands and said:"……Your Majesty, Lord Chang'an has arrived outside Xianyang City, and I am here to inform you."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he stood up subconsciously. He didn't care about the emperor's emotions and anger, and his face showed an expression of joy.

He left the table and took two steps forward, but then he stopped again. He stepped down and looked at the bamboo slips on the side. He had not finished his work today.

And if he, the King of Qin, left Xianyang Palace in such a hurry, he might be led by that old man Lu Buwei and a group of officials again tomorrow. What would he say to him?.

He is the King of Qin and theoretically holds the highest power. But even without Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng understands that he is actually not free.

Ying Zheng sighed, thought for a moment, and said:"……Border soldiers cannot enter the city. There is still some distance from outside Xianyang City to the palace."

"Although I don't think there will be any danger during this journey, just in case, I asked Mr. Gai to take some palace guards to pick up my younger brother."

When Ying Zheng heard that Ying Wei was assassinated in Wei, he had already guessed that it was Lu Buwei's method. Just like Lu Buwei killed his second brother Cheng Xi, he also wanted to kill his third brother.

During that period , Ying Zheng has been thinking very hard, always asking about the situation in Wei, for fear that one day he will suddenly hear bad news. It was not until Ying Wei went to Yingdu and was protected by Wang Ben that Ying Zheng was completely relieved.

But although Lu Buwei is a mature politician , as long as he is in his right mind, he will not play assassination in Xianyang.

Just in case, Ying Zheng still asked Gai Nie to personally lead people to protect Ying Wei

"Here!"

Gai Nie bowed his hands and left Xianyang Palace with a group of hundreds of palace guards, while Zhang Han stood behind Ying Zheng and continued his work.

……

Outside Xianyang City, after more than a month, Ying Wei finally returned to Xianyang from Xiaoshengxian Village.

Looking at the ancient city wall, listening to the flowing of the Wei River, and returning home again after four years, Ying Wei also felt emotional in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Xianyang City is ahead of us. According to regulations, we cannot enter the city, but we will bring a small number of people to escort you back to the palace."

Outside the carriage where Ying Wei was sitting, Li Xin rode to the carriage and said with cupped hands.

"Thank you for escorting me all the way."

Ying Wei opened the curtains and said gently to Li Xin. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"This is the fate that a general should have, so why not talk about hard work!"

On the way from Yingdu to Xianyang, Ying Wei also became acquainted with Li Xin.

Of course, it's not the kind of acquaintance between brothers. Their identities are there, and it's impossible for Ying Wei to do that. Li Xin did not dare to accept such a thing that was detrimental to his dignity.

Along the way, Ying Wei had been discussing the art of war with Li Xin. Although Ying Wei himself was an armchair strategist, as a future keyboard warrior, he had read a lot of books in his life. , it’s no problem to talk freely.

And Li Xin always answered Ying Wei’s questions fluently, which naturally earned him a burst of praise from Ying Wei. It gave Li Xin the feeling that Lord Chang’an praised his talent, which moved Li Xin and made him quite a scholar. The thought of confidant dying.

While the two were talking, a group of hundreds of sergeants came from Xianyang City. They were seen wearing armor. The armor was bright and shiny, and the weapons in their hands were also brand new and sharp.

This group The soldiers came forward, their formations were neat and orderly, and they looked like the best among the best. Seeing this, Li Xin looked stern, quickly rode forward and shouted:"……Lord Chang'an is here, who is blocking the way?"

With that said, Li Xin looked at the first young man who was not wearing official uniform.

The young man cupped his fists and saluted:"……I'm here to cover Nie, and in the name of the king, I will protect Lord Chang'an when he returns to the palace."

"Is there any proof?"

Li Xin asked again.

Gai Nie took out a seal. After seeing the seal, Li Xin finally felt relieved.

Seeing this group of sergeants, he actually guessed that these should be the imperial guards in the palace, but The rules of the Qin State are strict. Guessing is useless. You have to have proof.

Now that he saw Gai Nie's proof, Li Xin finally felt relieved. His work was finally completed and he sent Lord Chang'an back to Xianyang safely.

"Your Majesty, there is someone coming from the palace. The general is going to report on his duties first. After a few days of repairs, he will return to the capital of Ying."

Ying Wei was still sitting in the car, looking at what was happening outside from the window. He nodded slightly and said:"……Li Qianhu, go ahead. When I see Brother Wang, I will have a nice word for Li Qianhu. Li

Xin looked overjoyed and said excitedly:"……Thank you!"

Immediately, Li Xin and Gai Nie handed over the work, and the palace guards of hundreds of people were responsible for the protection of the last section of the road.

As for the people coming and going in the city, seeing so many soldiers, I've been hiding far away

"Gai Nie pays homage to Lord Chang'an!"

After Gai Nie handed over the task, he came to Ying Wei's car and saluted with his hands in hand.

"Excuse me, I heard that Mr. Gai Nie is now Brother Wang’s swordsmanship teacher?"

Ying Wei carefully looked at the gentle and humble man in front of him and asked with a smile.

Gai Nie's temperament gave people a good first impression, like the kind of person who has no temper but is very serious.

"The king doesn't mind that my swordsmanship is vulgar, so he lets me serve as a swordsmanship teacher. I feel deeply ashamed."

Gaini said humbly

"Haha, Brother Wang’s vision cannot be bad. Since Brother Wang asked Mr. Gai to be a swordsmanship teacher, he naturally thinks that Mr. Gai has that kind of ability."

He said this, but Ying Wei murmured in his heart that the swordsmanship teacher is fake, and the bodyguard is real.

With Brother Zheng's workaholic energy, he has no time to practice swordsmanship. If you ask him to practice health-preserving swords, it will probably be too much. Difficult.

While he was talking, Ying Wei's carriage entered Xianyang City under the escort of the imperial guards of Xianyang Palace. Seeing this posture, pedestrians gave way one after another, either whispering or looking up.

Genie did not ride a horse. , but followed the carriage on foot. While chatting with Gai Nie, Ying Wei also admired the ancient capital of Qin.

In fact, Ying Wei was not familiar with Xianyang City. When he was a child, he was a young master who grew up in a deep palace, but There are not many opportunities to visit Xianyang City.

Xianyang City has a population of about 600,000, which is an absolute exaggeration in this era.

"Mr. Gai Nie is from the Guigu lineage?"

"Exactly, the master is the contemporary Guiguzi."

When it comes to his sect, Gai Nie doesn't have any pride and remains humble.

"In anger, the princes were afraid. When Su, Qin, and Zhang Yi united with Zong and Heng, they amazed the world. If there is a chance, I would also like to join the Zong and Heng lineage."

"When I have free time, I want to talk to Mr. Gai about the art of vertical and horizontal."

Ying Wei said with a slight smile.

Gai Nie cupped his hands:"……Those are the ridiculous praises of the world, and the Zongheng people should not say such things."

Having said this, Gai Nie felt ashamed. The teacher seemed... He really didn't teach him any vertical and horizontal skills. How about Lord Chang'an, we can talk about swordsmanship.

Although Ying Wei didn't have a sword in his hand, Gai Nie knew that this Chang'an Jun is an absolute master of swordsmanship.

It's not about how strong Chang'an Jun's swordsmanship is, but as a swordsman, Gai Nie can feel that Ying Wei's swordsmanship is unique and is a sword spirit that he has never seen before.

After all, the magic The sword of the family was created by Ying Wei.

While talking and laughing, Xianyang Palace is right in front of you...
