Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 1094 Let the Sun Stop

Qingji immediately asked Wu Tao to hold his hand, and went to the platform outside Fengtian Hall, looking at the national flag standing in the square——

Crimson is the background color, and the left third is surrounded by a full sun, a crescent, and seven stars, all of which are golden.

The sun and the moon represent the emperor, and the seven stars represent loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, with profound meanings.

This flag is the "Sun, Moon, and Stars Flag", the flag of Great Wu!

"Wu Tao, sing me the national anthem."

"promise."

As a descendant of the great Wu imperial family, Wu Tao has been fascinated by it since he was a child. He is naturally very familiar with the national anthem of the Wu Empire.

"Qingyun is rotten, and it is unadorned."

"The brilliance of the sun and the moon, day after day."

"Obviously going to the sky, Lan Xingchen..."

Wu Tao's singing sounded in his ears, and Qingji's eyelids also became heavy, as if they had been poured with lead, and they would close at any time.

Qingji beckoned, and asked a servant to bring a grand master's chair and a quilt.

Qingji sat on the Taishi chair, covered with a quilt to keep warm.

It is true that it is already April and the weather is warm, but Qingji's body can no longer bear it.

Qingji sat like this, watching the sunset in the distance.

After Wu Tao sang the national anthem, he stood beside Qingji and said, "Great-grandfather, the sun is about to set."

"Yes, the sun has set."

In Qingji's heart, a sense of powerlessness suddenly arises.

"Sunrise and sunset, life is endless. Wherever the rivers go, and the sun and the moon shine, they are all Wu soil. I have basically achieved this."

"I am the first emperor of Wu, and outsiders have given me many nicknames, such as 'conqueror', 'guardian of mankind', 'messenger of God', 'Hammer of God', 'sun of all peoples' and so on. enumerate."

"I, the king of the world, let the whole world and all things in the world submit to my feet, life and death, to sum it up in one word."

With a proud tone, Qingji changed the subject, and said again: "Of course, I am not omnipotent. I am the emperor, and I can rule everything in the world, but I cannot violate the common sense of life, old age, sickness and death."

"God has treated me well, allowing me to live for so many years, and enable me to achieve such great achievements."

"It's just God, why can't you give me another 50 years, 30 years... even if it's another ten years of life."

Qingji's tone dropped, and he said with a lonely expression: "In another ten years, I will be able to make the empire more stable, so as to ensure that the Great Wu will last forever."

"Great-grandfather..."

Seeing Qingji's expression at this time, Wu Tao was a little surprised.

"I am the emperor Qingji. I am the 'sun' of the world. Why do I have to live for only a few decades like ordinary people?"

Qingji suddenly raised his head, looked at the gradually setting sun, and said loudly, "Let it stop, let the sun stop!"

"Preach my will, let the sun stand still!"

Once Qingji's order was issued, no one dared to disobey it.

On the huge square, on the steps one after another, outside the palace, the guards and eunuchs all conveyed the will of celebrating Jiji to heaven.

"His Majesty Shihuang has an order to make the sun stand still!"

"Let the sun stand still!"

This decree was quickly conveyed, and the subjects of the empire in the streets and alleys also took to the streets, gazing at the setting sun in the distance, and knelt down together.

Sunrise and sunset, this is the law of nature, no one can violate it, just like life, old age, sickness and death.

The sun, in fact, represents celebration.

The setting sun is an ominous omen, indicating that the end of celebration is approaching.

Therefore, when Chinese people kneel to the setting sun on the street, they are also asking the sun to stand still, so that Qingji can live a long life, so that he can live forever.

However, the long-cherished wish of all living beings in the world has not moved God after all.

The sun has finally set.

And Qingji, at the moment when the sun set and the sky and the earth became dark, closed his eyes forever and passed away forever.

"Great-grandfather!"

"His Majesty the First Emperor!"

The sound of crying spread throughout the entire imperial palace, the entire imperial capital Jinling, and even continued to spread, causing the entire Great Wu Empire to fall into a sad and panic atmosphere.

Qingji, this time he really died.

Where will the great Wu of the future and the empire of the future go?

The Great Wu Empire lost its celebration, and the mountains, rivers, sun and moon were dark and gloomy.

……

After celebrating Jilong Yubintian, the grandson of the emperor Wu Ji formally inherited the Datong and became the new generation of emperor of Wu.

According to Qingji's last wish during his lifetime, Wu Ji gave Qingji the posthumous title "Wen" and the temple name "Taizu".

In this way, Qingji is the first emperor and also Emperor Wu Taizu Wen.

In view of the fact that the late crown prince Hengjian was the regent of the country for many years, and his achievements lasted through the ages, and he was also Wu Ji's father, so after discussing with the officials, Wu Ji decided to posthumously designate the crown prince Heng as the "Second Emperor" and become the second emperor himself. The third emperor.

And gave Prince Heng the posthumous title "Hui", as for the temple name... not at all.

After all, Prince Heng has never been a real emperor and ruled the world, so it is not convenient to establish a temple name.

After Qing Ji passed away, the empire held a grand state funeral for him, and stipulated that all people in the whole country fast for ten days, not to kill, and not to wear colorful clothes.

At the same time, Wu Ji also buried Qing Ji in the Zijin Mountain Imperial Mausoleum.

Zijin Mountain Imperial Mausoleum, also known as Shihuang Mausoleum, was built by Qingji during his lifetime, using millions of Kunlun slaves for 40 years, consuming a lot of human, material and financial resources.

The buildings there are resplendent and resplendent, not inferior to the Jinling Palace, and even more resplendent and extravagant. There are also a large number of funerary objects and millions of terracotta warriors and horses inside.

It's just that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is full of traps. After filling the soil, the tomb robbers have little hope of entering, and they will be dead if they enter.

……

Fan Li, who was doing business in Xianyang far away, wept for a long time after learning the news of Qingji's death.

However, he finally sighed and said: "Your Majesty, it is not an empty statement that Zulong will be divided after death."

"Your funeral will not destroy Great Wu, but the huge empire will eventually fall apart... No one can stop this."

Fan Li, as a wise man of the time, had already foreseen this result.

Sure enough, after Qingji's death, large-scale rebellions broke out in various vassal kingdoms overseas and outside the region. They drove away or killed the vassal kings, officials, and people of Wu, causing chaos and quickly forming a prairie fire. trend.

For such a large-scale rebellion, not only the various vassal kingdoms were unable to suppress it, but even the third emperor Wu Ji wanted to send troops to suppress it.

During Wu Ji's reign, after more than ten years of suppressing the rebellions that erupted in various vassal kingdoms, the empire finally ended because of powerlessness and huge cost.

Without the help of the empire, without the help of the nearby feudal kingdoms, those feudal kingdoms caught in riots can only ask for their own blessings.
