General Qin

Qin Shihuang's Fengchan team passed through Guanzhong all the way, then took the Sanchuan Avenue and headed towards Mount Tai.

Xianyang is more than 2,000 miles away from Mount Tai. If the marching speed is 30 miles a day, it will take more than two months, close to three months.

And the day that the first emperor wanted to enshrine Zen most was on June 6th.

The number of six or six is ​​in line with the virtue of water, and it is a symbol of the destiny of Qin.

If Zen can be enshrined on this day, it will show the emperor's holiness and authority even more.

The east tour team set off at the end of February and arrived at Mount Tai. It took almost three months to travel. It seemed a bit tight, but in fact the emperor walked very leisurely along the way, stopping from time to time to look at the scenery everywhere, and the speed was not as fast as not slow.

The reason for this is that Qin Shihuang took the newly built road on his east tour.

When Zhao Tuo proposed to build the Chi Road the year before last, according to the plan of the ministers, apart from the Western Road related to Longxi and the borders of the Northland, the highest priority was to go out from Guanzhong, pass through the lands of Han and Wei, and go straight to the road. The Eastern Road of Linzi, the capital of Qi.

Once this road is opened up, if there is chaos in Qi, the empire can immediately send troops to pass through this road, quickly reach Qi, and put down all rebellions, which is very efficient.

When Feng Chan's team arrived at Luoyang City in Sanchuan County, Qin Shihuang stopped him.

Luoyang.

This is in the world, the so-called Zhaizi China is also.

The Xia people established their capital between Yiluo.

Xibo, the capital of Shang Dynasty, is also here.

King Cheng of Zhou also built his capital here, named Cheng Zhou.

When King Ping of Zhou moved east to Luoyi, the Zhou family stayed here for five hundred years.

This is the capital of three generations and the center of Chinese civilization.

The purpose of the first emperor's east tour this time is to enshrine the Zen world and show his mighty virtue, and he will not let go of such an important place as Luoyang.

He will stay here for a day and offer sacrifices to the three generations of emperors Xia Yu, Shang Tang, Zhou Wen, and Wu, so as to show that Great Qin is the kingdom of destiny inherited from the three generations.

The first emperor took Fengchang to perform sacrifices, and Zhao Tuo would not follow him.

He simply took a few servants to visit Cheng Zhou City, where King Zhou lived in the past, and it was not a waste of time.

As a result, after slipping around outside, Zhao Tuo was surprised to find that Luoyang City was covered in black.

Probably received the emperor's will in advance.

On this day, all the four colors of yellow, blue, white, and red in Luoyang were covered or torn off. No matter people or things, they were all in black.

Even though Zhao Tuo was used to seeing Qin soldiers in black armor in the barracks, he was still a little dizzy when he suddenly saw that the whole city was black.

"The eyes are all black. Does this mean that the color scheme of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties has been blackened by Daqin?"

Zhao Tuo stood in the city, looking at the black eyes, a little speechless.

It wasn't just that Zhao Tuo felt uncomfortable, another person passed by, and after seeing Zhao Tuo, they came over and talked with each other, and while talking, they also mentioned the scene in front of them.

"The emperor believed in the theory of five virtues. Among the five virtues, earth worms appeared during the Yellow Emperor, so the Yellow Emperor got the virtue of earth. Then there was a green dragon in the suburbs, and Xia Yu took it as the virtue of wood, and replaced the earth with wood. After that, Silver overflowed from the mountains, Shang Tang obtained gold virtue, and conquered Xia and prospered. As for the end of Shang Dynasty, the Chiwu Title Dan book was collected in Zhou Society, Zhou people used it as fire virtue, and Zhou conquered Shang. In the past, when Duke Wen went hunting, he got a black dragon, so it became the auspicious virtue of water, and used water to overcome fire, replacing the Zhou family, so the whole city was still black."

The man talked about the Five Virtues, then stared at Zhao Tuo in front of him, and said softly: "Your Majesty, do you think the Five Virtues are true or not?"

The corner of Zhao Tuo's mouth twitched slightly.

Ask me if the five virtues are true or false?

That must be false.

Zhao Tuo really wanted to swear that this is a feudal superstition, so it is naturally false and cannot be false.

In his view, the theory of the five virtues is just a ruler's toy, which has been played to pieces in the end.

For example, later in the Han Revolution, Qin Ming felt that Qin was not worthy of virtue, so in the early decades of the Han Dynasty, they were all water virtues, and the Han army was black armor and black banner. In the time of Emperor Wu, it was changed to Tude, that is, Huangyihuangqi.

When Wang Mang usurped the Han, he thought that he was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and he regarded himself as a Tude. But what if the soil virtue is taken over by the Han, then change it for the Han. With the help of Confucian scholars, Wang Mang changed the soil virtue of the Han to the fire virtue, and changed the rotation of the five virtues into fire and soil. The five virtues are born in rotation.

Later, Liu Xiu came to power and established the king of Huode with the theory of prophecy, which is why he was called "Yan Han".

Therefore, in the Western Han Dynasty, it was impossible for the Han army to appear with red flags and shouting "Yan Han".

In the Han Dynasty alone, there were three virtues of water, earth, and fire, and they were changed at will.

How does this make Zhao Tuo believe in the theory of the five virtues?

However, facing this person's question at this time, Zhao Tuo still nodded solemnly and said: "Young master, I, the Great Qin, ruled the world, inherited the fate of three generations, and prospered on behalf of Zhou. Fake."

The man nodded, looked at the blackness in the distance, and sighed faintly: "If this statement is true, then the five virtues will continue to circulate, and there will be people with earth virtues in the future. I don't know when they will replace me with the virtues of Great Qin."

Zhao Tuo didn't expect the other party to make such an exclamation, and he was startled immediately, and hurriedly said: "Young master, be careful."

After being reminded by Zhao Tuo, the other party also found that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said: "The Junhou reminded that it was Ziying who made a slip of the tongue. I just saw that Luoyang was the capital of three generations, and the three generations rotated. Shang Kexia, Zhou Dynasty Shang, In the end, he was replaced by me, Da Qin, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and I asked you to forgive me for saying such nonsense, and don't let it leak."

Zhao Tuo said with a smile: "Young Master is an honest and honest elder of the clan, what he said is the most reasonable, but unfortunately I lost my mind just now, and I didn't hear what Young Master said. It's a pity."

Ziying was startled for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Your Majesty, you are really a wonderful person in this world."

He bowed to Zhao Tuo, said goodbye, and left lightly.

Zhao Tuo looked at the back of Ziying leaving.

"At this moment, he was thinking about when the Tude who replaced Qin would appear. This Ziying really discovered a blind spot. Or did he already have a sense of urgency and realize the possibility of Qin's death?"

Zhao Tuo was a little surprised.

Just like what Ziying said, Emperor Shihuang publicized the theory of the five virtues in order to show that he had the destiny to replace Zhou as a political propaganda.

But if Qin is included in the theory of five virtues, then a problem arises.

The five virtues are revolving, and they are endless. Since Qin is the virtue of water, there will be people who replace Qin in the future.

Did Emperor Shihuang consider this issue?

Or.

Zhao Tuo raised his head and looked at the palace of the Zhou family in the city.

"Does he really think that if he can last ten thousand years, Da Qin can also be passed on forever?"

After offering sacrifices to the three generations of sage kings in Luoyang City, Qin Shihuang once again reaffirmed the destiny of the Qin State to inherit the heirs of the three generations, and then set off again, heading east along the Chidao.

To the east of Luoyang is Xingyang.

This is the real county seat of Sanchuan County of Qin State, and also an important stronghold of Qin State in the east. It is not only a superior water transportation hub, but also because of the construction of Ao Cang, the strategic position of Xingyang is even more important.

Now that he is here, Emperor Shihuang naturally wants to inspect Ao Cang, a strategic storage place.

"The grain in Ao Cang has accumulated six million stones of millet. When the warehouse is filled in the future, it will be enough to feed an army of five hundred thousand for three years."

Shang Shupu shot Li You and reported the data obtained from the Sanchuan County Sheriff to the emperor.

"Tell the governor of Sanchuan County to let him guard the Ao Cang for me. If the Ao Cang is not lost, our Great Qin will never suffer from the East."

The First Emperor looked at the chain of warehouses built along Ao Mountain in front of him, and nodded slightly.

This is the guarantee that Daqin is enough to rule the world.

If someone dares to rebel against Qin in the old land of the princes.

Daqin Ruishi can quickly rush to help everywhere along the main road and county roads extending in all directions.

Sufficient food in Ao Cang can guarantee the logistics of the Qin army.

The important location of Xingyang water transport hub can guarantee good transport.

With such conditions, how could the Great Qin Dynasty be shaken by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

"This is where my Great Qin Dynasty's imperial career lies!"

The First Emperor spoke lightly, his eyes full of pride.

When all the ministers heard this, they all bowed and said, "Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"

"Great Qin Wannian!"

Among the entourage, Zhao Tuo watched this scene and whispered to everyone.

What came to his mind was another sentence.

"The world has been decided, the heart of the first emperor, he thought that the Guanzhong was solid, the golden city was thousands of miles away, and the career of the descendants of the emperor was also... However, Chen Sheweng was the son of the rope hub, the man of the gangster, and the migratory person... cut the wood Be a soldier, unfurl the pole as a flag, and the whole world will gather to respond, and win the food, and the scene will follow. Shandong Haojun rose up together and died of the Qin clan!"

"Emperor, you can't see where the real trouble lies."

In Zhao Tuo's sigh.

This Fengchan team set off from Xingyang again.

The First Emperor wanted to go south along the chasm to take a look at the former Daliang City.

On the way there is a place called Bolangsha.
