Chapter 20: Thoughts of a Beauty, Ambition of an Emperor

Today is very lively in Xianyang City. ◎

Nothing else, the Crown Prince of Qin Ying Ziyi is about to return to the city today.

Before Ying Ziyi's team was approaching Xianyang City, a hundred miles away, three thousand ghost prisons and dozens of swordsmen were stationed on the spot. Because Xianyang was the imperial city of the imperial capital, he could not approach it privately without the will of the Qin Emperor. As the prince, Ying Ziyi had a team that belonged directly to him in Xianyang City, the Eastern Palace Guards. The Eastern Palace Guards, with a number of about 3,000 people, all of which were the eldest son of the Qin royal family, the Qin royal family. This is a team with symbolic significance than practical significance, because no one expects them to go to fight to kill the enemy. Their daily training is towards etiquette training.

The flags were waving and the soldiers were listed. On the official road, Ying Ziyi's chariot kept moving forward for a moment. Teams of ghost riders from the Ghost Prison went back, and teams of guards from the East Palace took over the defense on the set distance.

In terms of strength, the Eastern Palace Guards are more than one step away from the Ghost Prison Ghost Rider. However, in terms of appearance, the Ghost Prison Ghost Riders are more than one step away from those who are dressed in black armor, holding brand new ritual instruments, and have tall and big horses. They are more than one step away from the Ghost Prison Ghost Riders.

No one on both sides can stand against each other. However, with Ying Ziyi's chariot as the center, the handover between the two sides is proceeding in an orderly manner.

"I respectfully send you to the Crown Prince!"

The handsome horse neighed, and under the sun, three thousand ghost riders shouted loudly, raising the world, which shocked the group of Eastern Palace guards to their hearts. However, the young man's character was unwilling to admit defeat. They raised their long spears in their hands and hit the ground, and repeated their momentum was not inferior to those of the ghost riders.

Zhang Han smiled, and Shuai led the ghost rider in the Guzhuo, looked at Ying Ziyi's chariot who was leaving, and said to Zhao Tuo beside him: "Let's go, let's go into Sichuan."

Three thousand cavalry jumped into the horse's head in an instant, and the sound of hooves rumbled on the field. Three thousand cavalry ghosts kept heading towards Shuzhong for a moment.

The closer it is to Xianyang, the more people there are to watch the fun around. The crowds are all separated by soldiers.

The crown prince is the only position in a country that is the emperor. Ying Ziyi's team returned to the capital was etiquette, although it was inferior to the Qin Emperor, but it was far higher than the other princes, and even the eldest son Fusu could not match.

The soldiers in the army, the yamen soldiers in the county, and the servants under the pavilion commander, one after another, and one hundred thousand people controlled every detail on the long road of the hundred miles.

The gate of Xianyang City was approaching. Ying Ziyi's carriage slowly drove into the city.

On the long street, there was a secluded alley, a sick woman in plain clothes was watching the slowly moving forward.

"What a great prince Qin. He disappeared for several months. He just returned to Xianyang and started a great formation."

"Ayan, why did Ying Ziyi create such a formation?"

There were several people in the alley, all of whom were from the farmer's family. Tian Meng, the head of the Lieshan Hall, asked about his daughter. Tian Yan had been in the eldest son Fusu's mansion for more than a year and was deeply trusted by him. On weekdays, she helped Fusu deal with the secret things in the mansion and handed over the forces in the world, which was an important link between the farmer's mansion and the eldest son's mansion.

"Crown Prince Qin declared his sovereignty to everyone. In the few months he left Xianyang, undercurrents in Xianyang City were surging. Many of Qin Emperor's more than a dozen sons were not idle. However, these rumors, tricks, conspiracies and secret words were shocked by this surging momentum. Prince Qin greeted him, and tens of thousands of troops in Guanzhong followed his orders and drove for a hundred miles overnight to protect the long road of a hundred miles. In Qin, who in the Qin State had such prestige besides Qin Emperor? Before the Qin Emperor returned to Xianyang City, the news came that those dissidents in Xianyang City had disappeared without a trace." Tian Yan chuckled and took a step forward. After she walked out of the alley, the noise between the market suddenly increased a hundred times.

Tian Yan looked at the Xianyang Palace in the distance. Under the sun, there was a pathological beauty on her pale face.

"Father, look at how peaceful and peaceful the huge Xianyang Palace City is now, as if it is really as recorded in the classics. Brothers are friendly and respectful, and the king and ministers are harmonious."

Tian Meng frowned and said, "Then, wouldn't Mr. Fusu have no hope at all?"

Tian Yan returned to the cold alley again and asked: "Not necessarily, the world of Qin Emperor is full of variables. My father, I would like to ask here, do you really want to obey the orders of Changping Jun and Xia Kui, be loyal to Gongzi Fusu, and Lieshantang is really willing to be the pioneer?"

Tian Meng looked at his daughter without hesitation and said, "Young Master Fusu has great kindness to me, to the entire Lieshan Hall and even the farmer's family. When the battle on the Broken Stone Cliff that day, if it weren't for the protection of my son Fusu, my farmer's family would have suffered a catastrophe. I, Tian Meng, must repay such a great kindness."

As if he had already understood his father's answer, Tian Yan said: "In this way, my farmer must get rid of the traitor first."

"Rief?" Tian Meng looked at the inexplicable smile on his daughter's face and said in confusion.

Before the imperial city, Ying Ziyi's car stopped slowly. On the wide square, the guards of the East Palace on the street were scattered, guarding the last road ahead of the imperial city.

The imperial road is vertical and horizontal, and is quaint, along with north and south. Ying Ziyi walked on it, and the road was as white as jade, connecting the gate of the magnificent building in the distance, Xianyang Imperial Palace. The palace wall is tall, with one guard in ten steps and one sink in a hundred steps. There are corner towers on both sides of the palace gate, and the four corners of the palace wall to monitor the movements around the imperial city.

The clouds are high and the palace is stretched out. The huge palace is hidden behind the palace Huan, solemn and majestic. Ying Ziyi was wearing a black nine-chapter robe, walking step by step on the marble road, slowly heading towards the palace like a giant beast.

As we got closer, a sense of oppression came to our face. The hall was like a giant beast. If the officials who had never entered Xianyang in their entire lives, they would probably kneel down and be frightened to themselves when they saw such a huge and majestic palace. This is the majesty that the king should have. On the hundreds of steps in front of the palace, the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty, the relatives of the royal family, and the sons of the Qin Emperor were all listed on this long stairs. The soldiers guarded the side with their swords, and the tiger bent was circling outside.

Ying Ziyi walked up the steps and came like a tsunami.

"I will meet with the Crown Prince!"

"I will meet with the Crown Prince!"

"I will meet with the Crown Prince!"

Ying Ziyi did not answer, and he did not need to answer. He kept moving forward and headed towards the huge hall door in front of the hall.

Ying Ziyi crossed the hundreds of steps away, and the strong men guarding the palace gate slowly opened the door.

The eunuchs on both sides took off their shoes for Ying Ziyi. He stepped into the hall with one foot. Then, the strong man who was guarding the gate slowly closed the gate.

The hall is empty and there is no one. Unlike the scorching heat outside, there is a cool feeling in the air in the hall.

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng sat upright on the throne, with a crown and a black twelve-chapter dragon pattern robes, with a mysterious top and a slap on the bottom, and his majesty was unparalleled.

"Are you finally willing to come back?"

Ying Ziyi walked ten steps before the throne, and Zheng Ge suddenly spoke.

"My son knows that he is wrong." Ying Ziyi said sincerely. No matter what, just admit defeat first.

Brother Zheng looked at Ying Ziyi and looked at his son who looked respectful and looked respectful. A smile flashed across his face.

"How sure are you sure to take down Shushan?"

This smile flew in a flash, and the emperor's face returned to the coldness of application.

"Ten percent."

"Ba Shu has been isolated from the world for a long time. Since Sima censored Shu, Shuzhong has been the granary of my Great Qin. The people of Ba Shu have a strong custom. Shushan is famous for its witchcraft and is highly respected by the people in the local area. It even connects its followers to fight against the new policy. If it is not handled properly, it may cause a rebellion. You must be cautious." Brother Zheng reminded.

"My son understand."

The two places of Bashu, which are most of the later Yizhou areas. For Qin, it is a very important strategic place. First, Shuyuan has a fertile land of thousands of miles, and since the construction of Dujiangyan, it has been extremely rich. Shucan built near Chengdu is a large granary that can be compared with Ao Cang near Xingyang. Qin has accumulated huge resources by relying on Bashu, Hanzhong and Guanzhong, and then dominated the world. Second, Yizhou is located in the upper reaches of Jianghan, and has a condescending advantage over the old Chu areas such as Nanjun and Nanyang County. Whether in terms of economic or military, Bashu and Shu have great value to Qin.

It can be said that Bashu and Shu are the backyards of Qin. In this backyard, there is a Shushan, a force like Shushan that does not respond to the call of the court, but has a strong influence on the people of Bashu.

There were several groups of envoys sent by the Empire to Shushan, but they all returned empty-handed without exception.

Regarding such a force, Ying Ziyi just wants to say, wish them good luck.

You should know that Zheng Ge is not a very patient person. The empire attacked the world, and his blood flowed more than one million. Among the hundreds of schools of thought, the top forces, the Legalists, Yin-Yangists, famous scholars, Gongshuists, and the Taoists hid in the mountains and forests, did not care about the secular world, and Confucians closed their doors and read with peace of mind. The farmer's attitude was ambiguous and his relationship with Gongzi Fusu was extraordinary. The only Mohist school that did not obey the control was also reduced several times under the order of the forbidden army.

For Zheng Ge, being strong is the biggest sin. And being strong enough to threaten the rule of the empire and disobeying the empire's call, then congratulations to him, he has been on Zheng Ge's blacklist.

Brother Zheng was a powerful man in his life. He was furious and sent millions of troops to massacre the city and destroy the country without any mercy. The princes and schools of thought of the six countries could only crouch down under Brother Zheng and survive. Ying Ziyi was a little chilled when he thought about it.

Most of the people who dare to challenge Brother Zheng have already been buried. The remaining living are grasshoppers in the autumn, and they can't jump for a few days.

Brother Zheng’s life is described in two words, which is tough. If you have to add an adjective, it is extremely tough.

Unfortunately, Shushan has been on the blacklist of Brother Zheng. For Ying Ziyi, Shushan has more important significance, that is, Shu brocade, the most important and precious material on the Silk Road.

"It is reported that you were in the Yin and Yang family for several months, but they didn't notice it. This is very interesting. I'll ask here, how do you think about it?" Brother Zheng asked.

"I have ulterior motives." Ying Ziyi's answer was very concise.

"The answer was very accurate." Brother Zheng raised a curve in the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be very satisfied with Ying Ziyi's answer.

Ying Ziyi didn't understand it. He raised his head slightly and asked, "Since my father knows that Yin and Yang family are ulterior motives, why do you still need it?"

Brother Zheng smiled and looked at Ying Ziyi, his expression seemed to say, "You are still too young." "For an emperor, he will have countless knives under his command to solve the problems of light, darkness and countless tricky things. What is important is not the knife itself, but where does the knife point?"

"What if one day it points to the empire?" Ying Ziyi asked tentatively.

Brother Zheng snorted coldly, "Then there is no need for this knife to exist. Every family of all schools can become a knife in my hand, but each knife may point to the empire, point to me, or even point to you. The world is so big that there are few people holding the knife, most of which have been destroyed by me, but this does not mean that the empire can maintain long-term stability. After all, Shushan is just a small problem. The reason why I want to solve Shushan is to serve the empire in the future."

"What is Father's referring to?"

"Baiyue!"

Ying Ziyi took a breath, and the Qin Emperor finally had to attack Baiyue. Ying Ziyi knew that in history, the Qin State had used 500,000 Qin troops, which cost countless times, and finally conquered Baiyue twice in the southern expedition.

"The Yueyi in the south and the Donghu and Xiongnu in the north have always been a great trouble for the empire. If they are not solved, how can the empire's eternal foundation last forever?" Zheng Ge waved his huge sleeve robe and said domineeringly.

Ying Ziyi knew that in order to conquer Baiyue in the south, the empire used 500,000 people. In the north, the empire used 300,000 people. In the chaotic period of the Qin and Han dynasties, the 500,000 Qin troops, led by Zhao Tuo, were sure that they did not go north, but took root and fell in the local area. However, the 300,000 elite Qin troops under Meng Tian's command, were missing due to the lack of historical materials, after Meng Tian's death.

But one thing is certain. During the years when Qin State was destroyed, these 300,000 people did not participate in the Qin army's rebellion suppressing the rest of the six tribes. When Qin State was most critical, Zhang Han also submitted a memorial to Qin II, 200,000 prisoners in Mount Li, and the Qin army had sufficient soldiers.

Ying Ziyi was a little afraid of the unknown. Ying Ziyi didn't know what impact the Qin Emperor's decision would have on the future Qin State? At least, in another world, if these 800,000 soldiers were still in Guanzhong, it is still unknown whether Xiang Yu and Liu Bang could successfully invade Xianyang.

"You are afraid." Brother Zheng said, looking at Ying Ziyi who was in deep thought.

"Yes, Father." Ying Ziyi said honestly.

"Actually, I have been worried these days, even sleeping hard, thinking about whether this decision is correct or not? But later, I made this decision. Do you know why?"

Ying Ziyi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"There is already a Great Wall on the long border of the empire. If I don't attack Baiyue, would I build another one in the south? How can a real man walks in the world be at peace? It is not ours to do the way to guard the corpse by the mountains and seas. Our vast China is not even more afraid of barbarians. The Baiyue tribe of the wolf clan is indeed fierce. But if we don't enter our China in front of the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, sooner or later there will be hundreds of thousands of corpses!"

At this moment, Ying Ziyi was really excited.
