Chapter 986 Extra Episode 6: Freshmen
The Mausoleum of Emperor Wu is located in Huangling in the northwest of Fengyi County, adjacent to the Mausoleum of Huangdi.

After Linjin was captured by the Tang army, the connection between Guanzhong and Feng Yijun was cut off.

It is impossible for Yang Shen to go to Fengyi County, where the heavy troops are assembled, to worship the ancestors with great fanfare, so he can only worship the Taimiao.

In the deep Taimiao, there are successively listed the emperors of the Great Qin Dynasty, as well as famous ministers and generals, each with glorious names, but after the decline of the Great Qin Dynasty, even the enshrinements in front of the Emperor Wu's spiritual throne were much less, which made Yang Shen feel extremely uncomfortable.

In fact, Daqin was terminally ill 100 years ago, and after so many years of support, he exhausted the last bit of human support.

Although the people in the Guanzhong area still support the Great Qin, the Guandong and Jiangdong have long been separated from Germany.

More than 300 years of blood transfusion in Guanzhong has caused complaints from the entire Kanto people.

Especially during the reign of his great-grandfather, Emperor Ling, who favored Buddhism, he spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build the Temple of Mercy in Daxing, with exotic flowers and stones, pavilions, towers and pavilions, which were extremely exquisite.

Later, the White Horse Temple in Luoyang was rebuilt, which is on the same scale as Daqin.

At one point, there were as many as 300 million monks with ultimatums, and at least 1000 million if believers were counted...

The population of the entire Great Qin Dynasty is only 9000 million, which means that one out of nine people believes in Buddhism.

It is ironic that Emperor Ling prayed day and night in the Temple of Mercy for the land and land of Daqin, but he did not get the mercy of the Buddhas.

On the contrary, because of worshiping Buddha, the last trace of trust of the people in Kanto and Jiangdong was exhausted, and countless people rose up.

Even the Bohai Kingdom and the Jinlan Kingdom took the opportunity to raise troops. On the grounds of quelling the rebellion, one captured Liaodong and the other captured Jiaozhou, making Great Qin even more precarious.

According to the news from Jin Yiwei from the Kanto, the Buddhist sect raised by Emperor Ling did not support Daqin, but instead supported the major rebel forces in the Kanto, and even directly assisted with monks and soldiers.

Although Hanzhong, Shuzhong and Nanzhong still obey the imperial edict in name, in fact, since 20 years ago, the money, grain and taxes sent to Daxing have been cut off, and many governors and prefects have long been hereditary.

Yang Shen worshiped in front of Emperor Wu's spiritual seat, with Du Yu on the left, Wei Guan on the right, and a series of founding civil and military figures such as Lu Zhi, Zhang Te, Wen Yang, and Meng Yu.

"Children and grandchildren are unfilial, causing the country to fall to this point."

Yang Shen and Yang Jian knelt on the ground one behind the other, Wei Xiaokuan led his own soldiers to guard outside the door.

dong dong dong...

The bluestone floor was broken in two pieces.

The pain in their head could not alleviate the great guilt in their hearts.

Under the dim light, Yang Shen suddenly saw two streaks of yellow silk in front of Emperor Wu's spiritual tablet.

At first, I thought it was an edict from the emperor, but when I opened it, I found that the yellow silk was full of traces of time.

"Emperor Wu's edict?" Yang Jian read out the four words above in surprise.

It is definitely not a coincidence that this thing appeared here, but the emperor put it here on purpose.

Yang Shen opened his hands tremblingly. There are many legends about Emperor Wu. It is said that the two-tax law and the recruitment system of Emperor Zhao and Wang Meng, a pair of monarchs and ministers, were left by Emperor Wu.

"Since ancient times, there has never been an immortal country, and Great Qin is no exception. If a disaster arises in China, do what you can, and let nature take its course if you can't. Let the people shed less blood and keep more vitality for China. The calamity originated from a foreign race, so my descendants of the Yang family will be blood-stained on the battlefield, throwing our heads and blood for China, and we must never compromise..."

As Yang Shen read it, tears flowed down his cheeks, and the guilt and apology in his heart eased a lot.

"It turns out that Emperor Wu had foreseen it a long time ago." Yang Jian's voice became much more relaxed.

Having said that, although the guilt and apology in Yang Shen's heart were gone, they were replaced by great loss.

Once all nations came to court, the incomparably brilliant Great Qin, is this the end?

As a descendant of the Yang family, he was naturally unwilling.

The first piece of yellow silk was not very useful, it was just to persuade the emperor of the Yang family not to resist stubbornly, to surrender directly, and follow the example of Duke Shanyang of the Eastern Han Dynasty and King Chenliu of Cao Wei. Things have gone too far.

The Li family of the Tang Dynasty was originally a courtier of the Great Qin Dynasty. In the later years of Emperor Xiang, he rose up in Taiyuan with his military exploits. For more than 100 years, he guarded the frontiers for the Great Qin Dynasty and resisted the attacks of the Turkic people. Buqi, famous officials and generals of the Li family emerged one after another.

If Daqin can still be saved, the Li family may continue to guard the border for Daqin, but since the Kaiyuan prosperity, Daqin has deteriorated day by day, and finally lost all support.

Qin lost his deer, and the world chased it.

When Emperor Ling was in power, he stumbled again and wanted to use the hands of the Li family to suppress the heroes of the Kanto.

It's just that I didn't expect that after receiving the support of Emperor Ling, the Li family became like a tiger with wings added, killing all directions in Kanto. After three generations, they gradually annexed Hebei and drove Bohai Kingdom back to the old place...

After obtaining the land of Hebei, the Li family was still respectful to the imperial court, and they were extremely obedient. It was not until Daqin completely lost the support of the people that they sent troops to cross the Yellow River and swept across the Central Plains, Jiangdong, and Jingxiang...

Finally, he turned his finger on Guan Zhong.

The reason for sending troops was only on the side of the Qing emperor, to help the Great Qin Sheji...

Yang Shen opened the second will.

"If my descendants don't want the Great Qin to be defeated, I have two possible strategies. One is to lead the people into the plateau, collect the people from the plateau, gather together for ten years, and learn lessons for ten years, and then unite with the countries of the Western Regions to fight with the Bohai, Jinlan and other subordinate countries. In the Central Plains, things may be possible..."

Yang Shen frowned, Emperor Wu may not know that his unworthy descendants have long been enemies after more than 300 years of estrangement.

After the Bohai Kingdom was defeated by the Li family, they immediately proclaimed themselves a vassal...

After the Jinlan Kingdom conquered Jiaozhou, there was a great opportunity to sweep the south of the Yangtze River and rule the Tang Kingdom, but this vassal state born in the warm south did not have such ambitions at all. It lay on the Red River Plain, enjoying itself without thinking enterprising.

As for the Western Regions, they are more willing to follow the call of Han.

In the past 200 years, Han has long turned against China and Turkey.

I wish that Great Qin would be destroyed earlier, so that they could inherit the orthodoxy of Great Qin.

The decline of the Great Qin not only caused the separation of the hearts of the people in the world, but also that the descendants of the Yang family were not as good as one generation after another...

Even Yang Shen, for so many years, has only shown his superiority in the military, but the struggle for world hegemony depends not only on the military, otherwise the Western Chu Overlord would not have worshiped Han Gaozu.

"The climate on the plateau is warm and humid, and there are river valleys everywhere. You can also raise horses. From the heights, you can go straight to Hexi, and then attack and control China. This is the capital of the emperor!" the young hero Yang Jian said in surprise.

Daqin has actually been managing the plateau for so many years, and some important cities and passes are still in the hands of the imperial court.

The Qiang people on the plateau have been sinicized long ago. Despite the decline of the Great Qin, they still recognize the orthodoxy of the Great Qin and have a very high sense of belonging and identification with the Great Qin.

During the canal rebellion that year, a cavalry force of 3000 was organized on the plateau to help counter the rebellion. There were [-] bloody battles, and no one escaped, leaving a deep impression on Yang Shen.
