Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 442 Entering Xianyang Palace
In Xianyang, the magnificent buildings and grand layout pushed the majesty and style of the feudal emperor to the extreme. Before approaching the city gate, Lu Wei's eyes were attracted by this majestic spectacle.

The closer you get, the more you can feel its hugeness.

When he was of low status, Lu traveled through the capitals of the Five Kingdoms as a knight-errant. After the uprising, when he besieged Xingyang, he also rested for a few days in Xinzheng. He also accompanied Zhang Liang to the old site of Zilanxuan and listened to him reminisce about the founding of Quicksand. Wonderful thing.

At this moment, he will accept as the master the luxurious spectacle created by the first emperor Ying Zheng and the second emperor Hu Hai at the expense of the entire empire.

Xianyang Palace is far from being comparable to the capitals of the Six Kingdoms in the past. Hidden behind the surface is an endless palace complex: Ying Zheng once housed the harems and maids of the Six Kingdoms here, and Hu Hai once again included them after he ascended the throne. Women of the common people, even though it would be impossible for the father and son to bear the thought of having a harem of tens of thousands, they obviously regard it as a symbol of their emperor.

"Burying the corpses of the people under the palace, and taking their wives and daughters into the palace, this is the reason for Qin's death."

Dianqing led the army into Xianyang in advance to set up defenses and clear the streets. His Royal Highness King Qi couldn't help but sigh while waiting outside.

Hearing his words, Guiming Hou Ziying, who was leading the horse in front, lowered his head in shame, while the historian on the other side was writing straightly to record this historic moment.

When the Qi army completely controlled Xianyang and eliminated the danger, Lu Wei shook his head and asked the obedient Ziying to retreat for the time being. He rode into the city alone. He had an unobstructed view of the quiet streets of Xianyang. The careful sight from the closed windows was full of awe and worry. .

His Royal Highness the King of Qi held his head high and accepted these gazes calmly. A hundred meters behind him were the processions of ministers Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.
The ruling foundation of the old empire was seamlessly taken over by the new empire. Hu Hai and Zhao Gao messed around for a year and accumulated a lot of documents. However, Xiao He personally led people to sort them out one by one: when Li Si was the prime minister, he compiled many documents about the empire. The statistics are very complete. With this foundation, a new order can be established quickly.

The ministers were all busy. Lu Wei came to the emperor's main palace alone, but he was not in the mood to visit the harem of thousands of people. Instead, he carefully looked at the two treasures that represented the emperor's identity:
The national jade seal and the Tianwen Sword are passed down.

It is four inches in diameter and has five dragons on the upper button. It was formerly known as He's Bi. Later, Li Si personally carved the seal characters "Ordered by Heaven, Live Longevity and Longevity". The jade seal is not as gentle and elegant as other jade stones Lu Wei has seen. Instead, it gives people The thickness and majesty of gold and stone.

Gently input the inner energy into the inside, and the jade seal will be like a bottomless pit that will not reject anyone who comes, swallowing them all. Such characteristics can be compared with the Yellowstone Book of Heaven, which is confirmed to be a divine object.

In a sense, it is even more precious than the Book of Heaven.

As a man-made product, the jade seal has transcended the boundaries of mortal things since its birth because of its own meaning.

"Once it's in my hands, you don't have to fill it with gold anymore."

The jade seal is exquisite and has a special meaning. Lu Wei likes it very much: although he has never deliberately pursued treasures, when the things are in his hands, he naturally wants to collect them well.

Immediately afterwards, he turned to look at the Tianwen Sword. This famous sword ranked first in the Feng Beard Sword Book. In addition to being the sword of the First Emperor, its own power should not be underestimated.

The little old man Feng Beard hadn't appeared for a long time, but Lu Wei had interacted with him and knew that he was just and fair in judging swords. Tianwen could only be rated first because it was the best that Feng Beard had ever seen. of a sword.

The reason why this sword was recognized by the Qin clan as the symbol of the emperor was because the First Emperor himself had always used it.

As the first emperor, many of Ying Zheng's habits became recognized norms.

However, Lu Wei had no intention of using this sword in exchange for swallowing the sea around his waist.

'Tianwen' is the will of the First Emperor, while 'Swallowing the Sea' is his own. Only when swordsmen and swords work together can they exert their strongest power.

Therefore, in Lu Wei's case, Tianwen's fate will probably be to be hidden: due to the identity of its previous owner, it is destined not to be rewarded anymore.

"Your Majesty, the palace chef has prepared meals. According to your instructions, everything will be kept simple." Ji Yan walked in. She was dressed in soft armor, but she was temporarily managing many matters in the palace as the chief guard of the palace.

When we first entered Xianyang, Qi had a lot to do. The world was already at peace. Although the war between the north and the south was coming to an end, it was not over yet.

However, although there were many things, not every one of them was worthy of being handled personally by him, the King of Qi. Lu Wei would not have any urgent matters in the past few days. It would be his turn to make a decision only after the statistical results of Xiao He, Chen Ping and others came out.

"Well, let's pass it to the study, and take a look at the place where Ying Zheng governed during his lifetime."

Lu Wei gave instructions casually, and when he raised his head, he noticed a slight hesitation on Ji Yan's face.

Obviously, she did this deliberately to show herself, but now Lu Wei doesn't have to guess anyone's thoughts, because he can directly ask: "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ji Yan leaned forward and said respectfully: "Ayan also inspected the harem when setting up the security in the palace. I saw that the women in the dance pavilion are very beautiful. Can I invite them to come over to serve the King at the dinner?" Dance for fun?”

The woman who can be kept in the palace by Ying Zheng and Hu Hai must be beautiful, and her talents must be unparalleled in the world, but...
"No need, they are all pitiful people. My entry into the palace will definitely make them, who live by pleasing the king, very uneasy. Go and appease them and let them go home as soon as possible."

Lu Wei immediately understood Ji Yan's purpose, chuckled, and directly refused the temptation to accept the Qin harem as the Qi harem.

He is a man, so of course he likes beauties, but when he was young, he had to practice hard, so he never flirted with women. After he first developed his skills, he accepted Yuki Onna, and he tried his best to restrain himself.

When the body is fully grown and is no longer afraid of overindulgence that may affect its strength, its instinct to proactively forage for food will be revealed.

Now that there is only one ceremony left before becoming emperor, Lu Wei is no longer so anxious about lust: he will be able to have any woman he wants in the future.

Just like Concubine Dongjun Yan and Da Siming of the Yin Yang family, even though they had no relationship with him, they were easily succeeded by him~
This is the power of power. The reason why he dispersed tens of thousands of Qin harem now is also for power.

After all, it is a huge expense to support so many people and the annual maintenance costs of those palaces.

Saving this expense can consolidate his power, but conversely, it will damage his power. This decision of how to choose Lu Wei is very clear.

"Yes!"

After Ji Yan learned about Lu Wei's intentions, he immediately knew what he was going to do. Just when he was about to retreat, the voice of His Highness King Qi came again:
"After the guards in the palace have been arranged, there is a moonlight wide-sleeved skirt in the Qin State's treasury, which I will give to you."

"Yes, Ayan understands"

"And Xiao Meng, you go and tell her that I want to watch you two dance tonight."

Touching his chin, His Highness King Qi casually ordered: "There is no need for the Qin Palace Dancer, it is a good idea to dance for fun~"
As for Ji Yan's ability to dance, Xiaomeng has practiced Taoism since childhood and probably doesn't know how to dance. That's their business.

As the victor, King Qi just gave orders.
