Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 393 Abolishing Martyrdom and Burning the Terracotta Warriors and Horses
Yu Yang had just returned to the palace, and soon Zhao Gao received the news.

It snowed heavily yesterday, but it melted today. The weather is extremely cold, and martial law is still required in the palace. Lang Wei personally guards in front of Zhangtai Gate, but today the carriages go in and out of the palace more frequently than usual without snow.

Moreover, the people who enter the temple are all rare guests.

Historically, Ying Zheng pursued the art of immortality for at least six years. Because of his pursuit of the art of immortality, Ying Zheng also did more ridiculous things.

Instead of claiming to be me, you call yourself a real person. This is just the smallest of absurdities.

But now, Ying Zheng has woken up early.

So what will Ying Zheng do next?

How many years to live?

Fusu shook his head.

Fusu knew very well that the relationship between the first emperor and him was that of the incumbent and his successor.

As long as Ying Zheng doesn't die, he won't even be considered the second child.

Ying Zheng is the sun, but he, the prince, cannot even be the moon.

Fusu's heart tightened naturally when he thought about this.

As soon as Fusu left the palace, the cold air hit him from all sides.

Zhang Han hadn't arrived yet, but Tai Shiling was already waiting outside the door.

Taishi Ling is responsible for divination.

This official position has existed since the Yu, Xia, Yin and Shang periods.

As early as in ancient times, turtle shells were used to predict major events in the country.However, with the development and growth of the country, people of insight naturally no longer believed in divination, but this ancient official position and method of decision-making have been passed down.

Ying Zheng once publicly tested a hexagram, and the result he obtained was that it all depends on the successor. This is a completely ambiguous answer.

So what is the purpose of summoning Taishi Ling at this time?

Tai Shiling looked calm. He knew what the Emperor was going to ask him as soon as he received the edict.

Since the elixir of immortality does not exist in this world at all, Your Majesty cannot achieve immortality and can only die.

So now His Majesty does not ask about longevity but about life span.

But regarding the matter of life span, I heard that Your Majesty once asked a person - Xian Guowei Liao.

Taishi Ling entered the palace and saw the emperor sitting behind the curtain from a distance.

"I, Hu Wu, worship your Majesty."

"Flat body."

Hu Wujing refused to get up and just responded:
"Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to do divination today."

Ying Zheng was naturally slightly silent.

"Do you know why I summoned you?"

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask His Majesty something."

"Say it."

"Does your majesty think that your majesty is a human being?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng's expression changed greatly, but he didn't immediately lose his mind because of these words.

"How dare you insult me ​​with words?"

"I dare not."

"Then what do you mean by that?"

"What your Majesty has done has been discussed by all the ministers. Now your Majesty has killed the sorcerer, and now he has found his way back. If you continue to be obsessed with this truth, I think it is impossible. I have heard that there are people in this world who give up everything to seek immortality, and end up starving. I died in a cave, and I also heard that I had to seek enlightenment and hide myself in the mountains. All these are to let go of my obsessions."

After hearing these words, Ying Zheng just felt that the words of the person in front of him were ridiculous.

I have the world in my palm, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, how can I let it go?

"My plan for immortality is to do evil to the world!"

"I only heard that there are people in this world who don't regard themselves as others, and act against others, and they lose their lives because of it."

Ying Zheng was naturally angered after hearing this.

"presumptuous!"

Hu Wujing came to the palace today to save his own life, not to persuade Ying Zheng to cherish his own life.

Calculate the lifespan of the emperor. If it is too long, the emperor will kill you. If it is too short, the emperor will kill you.The calculation is accurate, you will die.

Hu Wujing had no way out.

"The reason why I offend Your Majesty today is because I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will take good care of your body. If Your Majesty insists on insisting on longevity, it will be perverse."

After Ying Zheng heard this, the regret in his chest suddenly turned into anger.

"Will I lose my life here?"

Seeing the change in Ying Zheng's face, Hu Wujing did not dare to say anything more. He immediately fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty, forgive me."

While Hu Wujing was begging for mercy, the visitor suddenly came in.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Han, who will be the Young Master, has arrived."

Hu Wujing was still trembling with fear at first, but when he heard the name Zhang Han, he naturally thought of the imperial mausoleum.

Your Majesty is afraid of death.

And he took the risk to tell His Majesty the Emperor this, fearing that his head would be in danger if he said something carelessly.

After hearing this, Ying Zheng just felt cruel and sighed heavily:
"Xuan-"

Hu Wujing knelt on the ground, his body trembling.

Ying Zheng raised his eyes slightly and looked at Hu Wujing.

"Go back."

Hu Wujing took a deep breath, and then felt that the big rock on his chest was replaced by cotton.

"I thank His Majesty the Emperor for not killing me."

"Don't mention today's matter to anyone."

Hu Wujing's eyes froze slightly after hearing this.

"I'm here today to report the celestial calendar to His Majesty."

"I understand. Stand down——"

……

……

……

In one morning, Ying Zheng had summoned four people one after another.

Zhang Han was covered with a thin layer of snow, and when he saw the emperor, he was already confident.

"I pay respects to Your Majesty."

"Ping Sheng. I heard that you didn't slack off at all. Not only was the construction deadline not late, but it was also completed ahead of schedule."

"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, and I am just a hard worker. It is a lifelong blessing to be able to share your worries with Your Majesty."

In Zhang Han's mind, the emperor in front of him was supreme and unique.

Being able to build a mausoleum for the emperor would be the honor of Zhang Han's life.

In Zhang Han's mind, if there is anyone in this world who can live forever, it is only His Majesty the Emperor.

After hearing this, Ying Zheng naturally smiled knowingly.

This person in front of me can be of great use.

"Zhang Han, do you know why I called you here today?"

Zhang Han looked confused.

"I don't know."

Ying Zheng suddenly felt extremely melancholy, but it was also a moment of generosity when he had a second thought.

"One day when my soul returns to the ground, I will use my soul to frighten the world and overwhelm the world. However, after just a year, I suddenly realized that immortality is not possible."

"Your Majesty is far better than the Emperor of Zhou. There is absolutely no one who is inferior to you. Among the kings who will follow you, there will never be anyone who can surpass your Majesty."

After Ying Zheng heard this, he naturally admired Zhang Han even more.

Ying Zheng wants to be such an unprecedented and unprecedented emperor.

This is his lifelong dream.

Ying Zheng simply disdained the title of Son of Heaven.

"It's just a pity that everyone is mortal."

Ying Zheng sat slumped in the seat with a depressed expression.

"Everyone will die. Some people's death is heavier than Mount Tai, and some people's death is lighter than a feather. If Your Majesty collapses, it will be like Mount Tai. Fall."

What Zhang Han said really penetrated into Ying Zheng's heart.

Ying Zheng stopped talking nonsense.

"I summoned you here today because of my funeral arrangements."

After hearing this, Zhang Han knelt down and accepted the order.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, kneeling was not popular.This kneeling ceremony is mostly used for special occasions.

"I want a mausoleum that is unprecedented and unprecedented. Will you make it happen?"

"I will do my best and your Majesty will be satisfied."

Ying Zheng heard this and said again:
"In the past, I, Duke Xian of Qin, abolished the system of living sacrifices. But as an emperor, I am different from the previous kings. Naturally, I cannot follow the ancient system. However, I do not want the three princes and nine ministers to be buried with me."

Ying Zheng replied:

"I intend to use thousands of troops and horses to join me and conquer the world."

Thousands of troops?
Zhang Han was naturally surprised when he heard this.

It turned out that he was wrong. He actually thought that His Majesty would let those prisoners be buried with the Emperor.

However, thousands of troops are naturally more difficult to arrange than the prisoners of the Six Nations.

At that time, many generals and queens will hate His Majesty and himself.

Although the people buried with him have changed, the method is still applicable.

After hearing this, Zhang Han pondered for a while before kneeling down and bowing:

"Your Majesty, I think we might be able to make figurines to replace thousands of troops."

Ying Zheng's eyes naturally lit up after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, I, Duke Xian of Qin, abolished the system of life and death. This was an ancestral system. At that time, there were already clay figurines to be buried with him. Now Your Majesty wants to be buried with thousands of troops and horses. If a real person is buried in the tomb, it will only be filled with thousands of corpses and bones. The pit is very indecent; but if the colorful pottery figurines are put into the tomb, they will be real horses with thousands of horses galloping, a phalanx of tens of thousands of soldiers, and thousands of chariots. The best thing is that the colorful pottery figurines can It will not rot for thousands of years."

Zhang Han had fully described the relationship between the two, and Ying Zheng quickly thought of the magnificent tomb scene.

"good."

　At that time, the Book of Changes was popular.

　　It is said that in modern society, there are still professors who specialize in studying the Book of Changes, and they learn it quite well.

　　I think Zhouyi is really not a science, but it is not theology either.
