The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 932: Shesheng [Subscribe*Monthly Tickets]

"Report immediately to the king that Emperor Xuanwu is on a tour of western Bingzhou!"

When the mighty royal touring team sailed out of Beiye Royal City, the remaining spies of the princes and kings immediately reported the news back to their countries.

Although they could not find out the specific route of the inspection, they were able to find out the general direction and destination of the inspection. Moreover, Bingzhou only hid the specific route of the inspection and did not hide anything else.

"It's time to take a break!" Luowang's evil spies also breathed a sigh of relief.

It is really dangerous to be a spy in Bingzhou. There are the Jinyiwei and the Military Control Commission investigating them, and the government and the Six Gates identifying them. That's not all. The Jianghu and the Mohist School are also investigating them. If they are not careful, they may not even see the sunrise the next day.

Now that Yan Yan has left Beiye Royal City, they can keep quiet and play their roles honestly. They don't need to rashly spy or pass on information, which reduces the possibility of being exposed.

Therefore, Yan Yan's trip was as joyful as the New Year to all the forces in the entire Beiye Royal City.

When the news reached Xianyang, Ying Zheng and other ministers of Qin State heaved a sigh of relief. The entire Shadow Guard and Luowang also got a chance to rest for the first time.

The truth is that when Qin destroyed other countries, Yan Yan's shadow was more or less involved. Even if they paid a high price to keep Bingzhou neutral this time, it would be very troublesome for them if Yan Yan's damn curiosity arose again and he became an enthusiastic spectator.

Now Yan Yan is touring westwards, while they are heading eastwards to attack the State of Yan, going in opposite directions, which means that there will no longer be any uncontrollable factors.

"Prepare for war!" Ying Zheng decisively ordered the Qin State to mobilize its troops and, while Yan Yan was not in the royal city, quickly launched a war against the Yan State.

They were really a little scared.

The king's order was issued, and the Qin war machine started moving again.

"Is it that serious?" Yan Yan also received the news from the Jinyiwei and shook his head helplessly.

Are you that scary?

Just coming out for a tour is actually enough for all intelligence agencies to take a three-day break.

"What they are afraid of is not His Majesty, but the fact that His Majesty suddenly comes up with all kinds of strange ideas!" Nanyue said in a low voice.

If Yan Yan stayed in the palace honestly to review memorials and did not mess around with other things, reporting for duty when necessary and taking rests when necessary, those intelligence personnel would not need to collect unnecessary intelligence, let alone change their routine to send sudden messages, and the danger would naturally be reduced to a minimum.

However, they could not resist Yan Yan's sudden realization every few days, and he would come up with a bunch of messy ideas, and then summon the three dukes and nine ministers to discuss matters, forcing these intelligence personnel to put a lot of effort into spying, but they were then discovered by the Jinyiwei and finally buried deeper.

"The first stop is Yunzhong County!" Yan Yan looked at the patrol route.

While waiting for the emperor's canopy to arrive in Yunzhong, the Yunzhong county magistrate and his officials were waiting at the city gate to welcome the emperor.

"Are all the documents ready?" As the imperial censor, Zhao Gao had the duty to supervise all officials.

Moreover, all parties in Bingzhou told him that they should share more of Yan Yan's responsibilities and bother him less, and try to make extra time for Yan Yan. Therefore, the task of reviewing the administration of local government fell on Zhao Gao and several nine ministers who accompanied him on the trip.

"Your Excellency the Censor, everything is ready!" The Yunzhong County Magistrate had already ordered people to prepare the policy measures and work logs of recent years, waiting for Yan Yan and his party to inspect them.

"Take this censor and all the gentlemen with you!" Zhao Gao naturally didn't dare to let these things bother Yan Yan.

He had another mission on this trip, which was to ensure that the Emperor, Empress, and Consort were pregnant. Otherwise, he would be considered derelict in his duty if he returned to the royal city.

The governor of Yunzhong did not hesitate and ordered the chief secretary to take Zhao Gao and others to check the work logs of previous years. "The governor, take His Majesty and the empress and concubines to see the current appearance of Yunzhong!" Zhao Gao continued to order.

The governor of Yunzhong County was a little hesitant, but as Yunzhong County was the second largest city in Bingzhou, he also knew what the main mission of Yan Yan's tour was. He didn't say anything else and took Yan Yan and Shao Siming and his party disguised as ordinary business travelers to take a look at the charm of Yunzhong.

"There have been significant changes in the clouds!" Yan Yan sighed.

Yunzhong was originally the largest city on the grassland, but after the establishment of Beiye Royal City, Yunzhong became the second largest.

However, the current Yunzhong City has expanded several times compared to the past, and its population has exceeded 100,000. It is one of the most important cities in the world.

"It is all thanks to your majesty's grace that Yunzhong has become as prosperous as it is today!" said the Yunzhong prefect flatteringly.

"Gather the top talents from all workshops and industries in Yunzhong. I will meet them in person tomorrow!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

"Ah?" The Yunzhong County Magistrate was stunned.

In the past, when the king traveled, it was either to review the army, inspect government offices, or understand the people's sentiments. It was rare that the king would personally meet with shamans, doctors, musicians, and craftsmen, let alone merchants and farmers, or meet them in an open capacity.

"Why, are you afraid that those merchants, craftsmen, and farmers will impeach you?" Yan Yan said jokingly.

"No!" The Yunzhong County Magistrate bowed and shook his head hurriedly.

This joke is not funny.

If the craftsmen, merchants, and farmers really told them directly to their faces that there were problems with their governance and that they were oppressing them, they would not even know how to die.

"Then go and arrange it. You can also make a list of those who have made outstanding contributions, and I will personally commend them!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

"Yes!" The Yunzhong County Magistrate did not dare to act recklessly.

They knew that the Jinyiwei was omnipresent. If they really found some unqualified people to fill the gap, their good days would be over.

Yan Yan was not worried that these people would dare to fool him. Yunzhong was too close to the royal city and was the focus of the Jinyiwei's work.

The leaders of all walks of life in Yunzhong County were all in disbelief when they received the notice. As farmers, craftsmen, and businessmen, they rarely had the opportunity to meet the county magistrate, let alone dare to think that they would be personally received and commended by the emperor.

"What kind of clothes should we wear to meet His Majesty?" Everyone was a little nervous, excited and a little nervous.

"The Emperor and Empress have decreed that ordinary weddings, ancestor worship, and important festivals and ceremonies can be celebrated!" The official who came to notify also spoke up.

"Dare to be a great man, what is Shesheng?"

"The so-called "reign" means that the dress and clothing system can be higher than one class." The official patiently explained, "That is, according to your current title and status, you can go up a level in terms of dress and clothing. If you are a scholar, you can wear the clothes of an official and ride with the officials. If you are a commoner, you can also wear the clothes of a scholar, or even the official clothes!"

"And it's not just tomorrow when I meet His Majesty that I can take photos of. I can also take photos of weddings, ancestral worship, and festivals in the future!"

"This..." Everyone was amazed.

According to etiquette, people wear clothes according to their status. Otherwise, it is illegal. No matter how rich a businessman is, he can't think of wearing brocade clothes or riding in a horse-drawn carriage.
