Qin Dynasty Novelist

Immediately, he drank the cup of calming tea in one gulp.

Not long after, a great sense of tiredness hit her, and not long after, Gongsun Li fell into a coma.

"lady?"

"lady?"

Seeing this, Qing'er, the maid who had been by the side all the time, her expression moved slightly, she approached quietly, and whispered softly.

After shouting a few times, seeing Mrs. Li didn't respond.

Not long after, he ordered the left and right, and left quietly.

The beginning of spring is long gone.

The sun in the void rises earlier and earlier. Outside the Xianyang Palace, under the rising sky, strands of golden eyes shine in the early morning, falling on every figure in the world.

"Brother Song, why is today's day stained with bright red?"

Inside the embassy in the west city of Xianyang, Han Shen also prepared everything. Wearing the robes of diplomatic servants inherited from the Kingdom of Yan, his hair tied in a crown, and his brows full of heroism, he stood in the courtyard and looked towards the eastern sky.

On the side, the same is true for Song Ruyi.

"Haha, maybe... today is destined to bleed."

Song Ruyi laughed loudly.

Regardless of whether today's success is successful or not, it is enough to be happy, and the preparations for the afterlife have been completed, and there is no worry in my heart.

After a stick of incense, Han and Shen walked out of the embassy wearing special crown robes. On the street outside, the mist had not yet dispersed, followed by the rest of the attendants. Song Ruyi held a copper box in his hand, and inside was Fan Yuqi. the first level.

Chen Shi!

The bells in Xianyang Palace rang loudly. In order to show the importance attached to Yan's surrender, the whole palace directly laid out the Nine Guests of Honor, which had not been used by Qin for nearly a hundred years.

Only the gift of nine guests can show that Qin State attaches great importance to the covenant with Yan State this time, and it is also a model for other vassal states.

The gift of nine guests!

It was originally the highest etiquette that the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty could use. However, since the Spring and Autumn Period, etiquette collapsed, so naturally don’t pay too much attention to it. Ninth class guests.

The first four classes of guests belong to the feudal lords, and the last five classes of guests are court officials with different fiefdoms. The rituals of the nine guests are complicated and complicated. There are three ways of bowing to different guests: Tian Yi, Shi Yi, and Shi Yi.揖, long-term drills by non-professional ministers are not enough to fully realize.

And this time Qin State showed the ceremony of nine guests, which is the standard set by the government.

Perhaps among the current Xia, only Qin has the right to use the nine guests ceremony, implying that Qin will rule the world, unite the princes, and become the co-lord of all Xia, which will be even more powerful in the world.

Sure enough, how can you not use the gift of nine guests?

The state of Yan is small and weak, and surrendering to the state of Qin, isn't it very similar to the appearance of the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty in court in the past?

From the embassy, ​​on the road to Xianyang King City, there are still a large number of Xianyang people watching. This is the first time that a big country personally surrendered since Qin Guodong came out. Isn’t it because of Qin’s power?

The people of Xianyang are honored!

Han Shen and Song Ruyi lived on the bronze cart and passed by on the road. Hearing the sounds coming from all around, they couldn't help frowning. They had no choice but to close their eyes.

"Haha, the messenger is finally here."

"In Xianyang Palace, a group of officials gathered, and they are about to see Shangqing's demeanor, please!"

Prime Minister Li Si waited at the main entrance of Xianyang Palace with a group of diplomatic friends. He watched Han Shen and his party walk in, stepped forward to greet them, and bowed their hands in a salute.

"Please!"

Han Shen also smiled and bowed his hands.

Immediately, Li Si and the others followed the etiquette of the nine guests, making three concessions and three speeches. Although they each gave way, they gradually became interested in Xianyang Palace.

"The deputy envoy holds a big gift and follows me to meet the King of Qin."

Turning her body slightly, she looked at Song Ruyi.

Song Ruyi nodded deeply.

After a stick of incense, Li Si and his party walked slowly to the magnificent and majestic Xianyang Palace. The great sun had already risen in the sky, shining on the bricks and tiles of the Xianyang Palace in front of them, reflecting a different kind of glazed light.

"Please!"

Li Si saluted again, pointing his arm at the solemn staircase in front of him, on which the first-class red felt had already been paved. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, material resources were scarce, and the stone steps in front of the hall were paved with blue stone strips, which was gray and heavy. They were originally painted red to show Jiqing also.

Today, the treasury of the State of Qin is full, and the stone steps of the main hall in front of Xianyang Palace are made of carefully selected top-quality white jade. It would be a waste of money to paint red lacquer, so they are all paved with red felt.

Han Shen solemnly nodded and stepped on it.

Behind Song Ruyi's unhurried followers, as for the rest of the envoys, they are not qualified to enter the hall.

Stepping on the steps paved with red felt, Han Shen's sense of spirituality diffused, and all the things around him fell into the depths of his mind. The Black Dragon Army in the royal city of Qin State, all in black armor and bronze axes, stood on both sides of the steps, like a black forest with golden forests, majestic and powerful It is indeed the only one in the world.

Each holds a huge bronze alloy axe, each of which weighs tens of kilograms. Even if you are sharp with a sword, it is difficult to match its slashing and sweeping power.Suddenly, Han Shen frowned slightly.

"This is the image of Lord Shang!"

Walking through the thirty-six steps, you will see a very conspicuous white jade statue, dressed like an ordinary scribe, standing with a crown, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in one hand, and looking into the distance with deep eyes.

Han Shen had heard about this image before, but it was the image of Wei Yang, a peerless talent who emerged from the state of Wei a hundred years ago, and helped the state of Qin to build a strong foundation today, together with Lu Buwei, a great merchant of the state of Wei.

It is rumored that the reason why the Wei State has not been destroyed by the Qin State and the inheritance of the Guozuo Ancestral Temple is preserved lies in the two of them. Han Shen also admires Wei Yang very much.
