Chapter 352 Long Mingtong

Qin and Chu are the oldest country in the world in the Three Realms, and are also the only country in the Three Realms that absolutely takes bloodline as the throne principle. For thousands of years, they have been adhering to the system of inheriting the throne with the Ying family's bloodline and highly concentrated imperial power, which allows every generation of the royal prince to successfully proclaim himself emperor and possess huge power.

However, in order to restrict the excessively concentrated power in the hands of every emperor, Qin and Chu have always adhered to a thousand-year iron rule - "equal power holder." In the first ten years of each new emperor ascending the throne, a respected and talented person must be selected within the country to govern the country with the new emperor, equally divide the royal power in the hands of the new emperor, and form a check and balance of power with the new emperor, so that the country can develop harmoniously under such checks and balances of power. And the person who has ten and a half years of imperial power is known in history as equal power holder!

A few days later, Ying Zheng buried the old emperor with the highest funeral ceremony of Qin Chu. Officials arrived and the whole country mourned. Just after the king's burial, all the civil and military officials of Qin Chu happened to gather in Xianyang Palace to discuss the current top priority of Qin Chu's current leaderlessness. As the second prince, Ying Zheng led the forces to defeat Xu Fu, who had been in trouble with the country's affairs for many years, ending a ridiculous decade, giving the entire Qin Chu a new tomorrow, and seemed to be the most suitable candidate for the emperor.

However, according to the law, the emperor's seat was always chosen by the previous emperor, and the principle of the eldest son ascending the throne was as follows. Ying Zheng did not match much in this regard, which eventually triggered a democratic referendum among ministers across the country. Some people clearly expressed their support for Ying Zheng's ascending to the throne to command Qin and Chu, but some people declared that they did not support Ying Zheng's ascending to the emperor, especially Xiang Yu, whose opposition was extremely firm. However, more people present were like Liu Bang... gave up voting and stood silently.

The supporters have a clear idea. They are trying their best to move their steps to Ying Zheng's camp, and their purpose is naturally pointing to the chain of interests in the new dynasty. Everyone knows how important it is to stand in formation when the emperor changes. Some people choose to stick to their own ideas. For example, those who oppose Ying Zheng's ascension to the emperor are also very clear. They use their future destiny to bet to adhere to the principles. There are many reasons for them to oppose Ying Zheng, because Ying Zheng's ascension to the emperor itself has many conflicts with the statutory laws of Qin and Chu for thousands of years. However, only Xiang Yu, he is not actually bound by the old orders of the previous dynasty. He strongly opposes Ying Zheng only because of a certain feeling deep in his heart. When he saw Ying Zheng throwing down his 100,000 soldiers without hesitation as sacrifice and foil for the fighter jet, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Ying Zheng was not suitable to be their king and the emperor of Qin and Chu.

However, most people finally chose to abandon the vote and be neutral. Those people were neither willing to anger Qin Chu's possible future emperor nor violated their legal insistence on the ancient country, so they remained neutral and watched the changes. This was actually a very wise choice, because no one knew what direction the fate would eventually point, and could look outside and ensure their safety first... Liu Bang also abandoned the vote, but he was really confused in his heart - Should Ying Zheng be the emperor of Qin Chu - and

I am not really disgusted with the sacrifices made by Ying Zheng to the 100,000 soldiers. Those who accomplish great things must have sacrifices and the courage to sacrifice. Moreover, Ying Zheng's actions did indeed bring about a chance of victory, and he eventually killed Xu Fu. Therefore, Liu Bang did not doubt Ying Zheng's qualities as an emperor, and even in a sense, Ying Zheng was perfect - but Liu Bang was still confused. What he was not sure about is whether Qin Chu now really needed such a "perfect" monarch?

As a result, the discussion situation between civil and military officials fell into some unsolvable deadlock, but Ying Zheng, as the person involved, could not express more opinions. All of this was actually as expected by him. He didn't care what choices the ministers in the court who were useless to eat the national salary but had no use. What he really cared about was the thoughts of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu... In the years when he was away from the palace and fought against Xu Fu, not only Liu Bang and Xiang Yu saw his potential, but also the extraordinary of these two people...

...Their final decision was the same as Ying Zheng imagined, one was neutral and the other opposed... In short, they did not support themselves as emperor in the end.

But Ying Zheng was very calm... To ascend to the emperor on this day, he had already made full preparations... Just as the civil and military officials were arguing endlessly, as the first lady of the late emperor, the first empress Mi Yue stood up and gave Ying Zheng a crucial vote... The queen was the existence of the mother in the world, and Mi Yue's support made Ying Zheng successfully pass the reconsideration of the country that the officials were fighting for. Ying Zheng finally succeeded in ascending to the emperor and became the 37th emperor of Qin and Chu. One month later, he was about to ascend the throne. Stepping on ancient music and bells, accompanied by purple smoke and sandalwood, Ying Zheng, who was wearing the imperial robe, ascended to the throne of the gilded dragon seal step by step.

Looking back on the past... When he was ten years old, Xu Fu entered the palace through Mi Yue's relationship, bewitched the emperor as an imperial physician, and gradually messed up the entire royal family. He had always had his own pursuit, and whether Xu Fu's existence or not was actually not important. But since Xu Fu appeared and formed an obstacle to his future, he would definitely destroy Xu Fu. So ten years later, he escaped from the palace and began to establish his own armed forces to compete with Xu Fu. During those years of war, he gathered Zhong Wuyan, Bian Que, and Miyamoto one by one, and condensed them into his own organic power... Ying Zheng always knew that for his distant ambition, he needed the assistance of many powerful people, and now everything will just begin... That's right, the throne of Qin and Chu was just the beginning!

Just as Ying Zheng sat on the throne, next to him, a simple and heavy black jade pedestal was standing. Mi Yue sat on it after Ying Zheng, and as the new emperor of Qin and Chu, he was on par with Ying Zheng on the throne. As the first queen of Qin and Chu, Mi Yue was actually the most suitable candidate for this equal authority, and no one objected at all.

When he ascended the emperor, Ying Zheng also enfeoffed his special ministers, named Zhong Wuyan as the general of the country, Bian Que as the royal doctor, Bai Renjie, and meet His Majesty." After hearing Wu Zhao's lazy "no courtesy", he approached Wu Zhao. "Huaiying, I heard that someone pulled out the giant sword "Cangxiao" sealed in the Yuhuang Abyss of Dali Temple. Is there such a thing?" Wu Zhao still said in a lazy voice. "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. The person who pulled out the giant sword "Cangxiao" was a woman named Mulan." Di Renjie replied.

"Woman? I can get Cang Xiao's recognition... Well, I admire her very much." Wu Zhao's mouth showed a slightly smile. "Well, this matter is indeed amazing. But I didn't come for this matter this time..." Di Renjie looked up at Wu Zhao, who was lying on the imperial chair, with a slightly solemn look. "I know why you came..." Wu Zhao's voice was still lazy.

"This new emperor of Qin Chu is not simple..." Di Renjie said in a deep voice, his words were simple and profound.

Everyone present, including Queen Xuan Mi Yue, did not understand Ying Zheng's move... Mi Yue was particularly confused. Although Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were a huge obstacle to Ying Zheng's imperial power, why did he still entrust such an important position to them... Protecting the king is the king! Protecting the king is the king above ten thousand people! Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were the most shocked in the audience - they knew the importance of the Qin and Chu border, and they also knew that they were probably the ones who were most capable of Qin and Chu today, but they never expected that Ying Zheng would give them the name of protecting the king with such a heavy position. Don't forget that in the Qin and Chu State Council's discussion that had just passed, they did not support Ying Zheng's throne. As the counterparty, they had already thought of various measures to target them and eliminate dissidents... But they really didn't expect that Ying Zheng not only did not punish them, but instead gave them such a high position.

But Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, who were shocked, also made a quick statement - "Respecting Your Majesty's imperial edict, we will do our best to defend the border city!" All of this was seen by all the civil and military officials in the court, and even the people of the whole country. In one day, Ying Zheng established a wise ruler in Qin Chu who did not care about past grudges and valued the wise and capable, and everyone returned to their hearts for a while.

——Qin Chu·Fengqishan——Zhang Liang stepped on the void, standing in the endless mountain breeze, staring at the page of Yan Ling's ancient book in his hand, with a meditation on his face. Suddenly, Zhang Liang turned around and walked into the ancient temple of Rosewood. In the temple, Jiang Shang, with white hair and beard, was sitting at a sandalwood table, listening to the birds' singing, and tasting tea. "Teacher, has something big happened to Qin Chu recently?" Zhang Liang looked at Jiang Shang, and the ancient book in his hand was still open.

"Hmm? Do you care about things in the world?" Jiang Shang raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Liang who was standing in front of him, looking confused. "...No, I am translating ancient books, a little confused, and I feel it is related to state affairs..." "Well... Qin Chu has indeed undergone a huge change recently..." Jiang Shang turned his face and glanced gently at the clouds and mist in the sky, saying lightly, "The old emperor has passed away, Xu Fu has died, the imperial power has changed, and the second prince Ying Zheng has ascended the throne."

"Oh..." Zhang Liang nodded slightly, and his eyes turned to the page of Yan Ling's ancient book, looking at the prophecy listed in the mysterious Yan Ling's words - "A thousand years have passed, the dragon's bright eyes." - Jinyuan Wolonggang - A cute little red birch flapped his wings in the air and flew into a quaint thatched cottage. The little bird was fat, looking like a red fluffy ball, but its figure was unexpectedly light, as if a feather gently fell on the middle-aged man wearing a hat and woven straw sandals on the east side of the cottage.

Liu Bei put down the straw sandals in his hand, lowered his head gently, and heard the little red bison on his shoulders screaming. The little red bison sang a few times and flew away from Liu Bei's shoulders and flew around lightly in the thatched cottage. However, Liu Bei's gentle eyes showed a little solemnity. He raised his head and looked at the light blue-haired man sitting in the inner hall of the cottage. He saw that the man was sitting quietly in front of the desk, holding a book and reading with his breath, his breath was introverted and elegant.

"Kong Ming... You really think of things like a god... Qin Chu's new emperor is indeed Ying Zheng!" Liu Bei said with a calm expression, but he could not hide a little admiration in his tone. "The lord is too much... However, Ying Zheng's movements are very fast..." The man looked at Liu Bei, bowed slightly, nodded to Liu Bei, and heard the conversation between the two of them, and the two men sitting west of the thatched cottage were also obviously surprised.

"Sir, I'm so impressed by Guan!" One of them had long beards on his face and green robe and armor. But when he saw him stroking his long beards for three feet, he bowed to Kong Ming sitting in front of the copywriting. "Awesome! We are thousands of miles away from Qin Chu State. You can calculate it. You can't accept it." The other person's eyes wide open and his majestic appearance also bowed to Kong Ming.

"The two generals are so serious... Kong Ming is not as brave as the two generals to charge, so he naturally has to do his best to see the situation clearly." Kong Ming said with a smile to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. "But sir, please forgive me for being frank. I really can't understand one thing. We are obviously facing such a tense war situation in Jinyuan. Why are you and my elder brother still worrying about Qin Chu all day long... They are thousands of miles away from us, and it's all about who is the emperor, it's up to us!" Zhang Fei asked in confusion with his eyes.

"Yide, you don't understand this... Although we are facing the situation of Jinyuan, we have to see the situation of the whole world... Although the three borders of Jinyuan, Qin, Chu and even Tang Zhao are separated by the Henggu River, the world is also called the Three Realms instead of just Jinyuan... In this chess game in the world, each piece has an unpredictable impact on the situation." "Oh, sir, I don't understand these, please give me some common sayings." Zhang Fei frowned and asked Kong Ming.

"Simply put..." Kong Ming smiled and said, "Just because of Ying Zheng's ascending to the emperor, there will be no major wars in Jinyuan within a few years." "No war for many years... Kongming, why are you so sure?" Liu Bei asked softly. "Because Ying Zheng's ascending to the emperor, Cao Cao, the leader of the Wei power, and Zhou Yu, the spokesperson of the Wu power, will quit the war in the next time. The reason is that they must all know that Ying Zheng has dragon eyes - Tang Zhao Xuanwu Gate - the wind is light and clouds are light, warm sun and clear sky, a woman in the purple emperor robe lay on the golden imperial chair, bathed in the gentle sunshine, and the palace maids either hold peacock fans or hold ice plum soup, standing beside them. Xuanwu Gate is a place where the solemn aura is naturally condensed, but she is just happy to rest here.

"Report to Your Majesty, the head of Dali Temple and the prime minister of the dynasty, Lord Di Renjie, asked for a meeting in the main palace." "He came here." Wu Zhao closed his eyes and breathed gently, with a condensed emperor temperament in his words. Not long after, a middle-aged man with a clean face and clear eyebrows walked into Xuanwu Gate and bowed nine steps away from Wu Zhao. "Miscellaneous minister Di Renjie, meet Your Majesty." Hearing Wu Zhao's lazy "no courtesy", he approached Wu Zhao.

"Huaiying, I heard that someone pulled out the giant sword 'Cangxiao' that was sealed in the Yuhuang Abyss of Dali Temple. Is there such a thing?" Wu Zhao still said in a lazy voice. "Your Majesty, this is indeed true. The person who pulled out the giant sword 'Cangxiao' was a woman named Mulan." Di Renjie replied. "Woman? I can get Cangxiao's approval... Well, I admire her very much." Wu Zhao's mouth showed a slightly smile. "Well, this matter is indeed amazing. But I didn't come for this matter this time..." Di Renjie raised his eyes and looked at Wu Zhao lying on the imperial chair, with a slightly solemn look.

"I know why you came..." Wu Zhao's voice was still lazy. "This new emperor of Qin Chu is not simple..." Di Renjie said in a deep voice, his words were simple and profound.
