Chapter 114 Swallowing Luck! Ying Zheng: Send the King of Han and the Royal Seal to the Ancestral Temple!
As the capital of Han was captured by the elite soldiers of Mount Li!
The King of Han was captured, and many of Han's powerful ministers were also captured.
The destruction of Han has become a foregone conclusion.
Now the Qin army is speeding up its efforts to quickly capture the cities of Han and make them part of Qin's territory.
As time goes by.
Another month.
As the last city of Han was conquered by the Qin army, the flag of Qin was raised on the city wall.
Han, completely destroyed!
South Korea, which stood tall in China for hundreds of years, has perished.
Xianyang!
Above the void.
The huge and auspicious black bird let out a mysterious cry, and even the void was startled.
Follow closely.
The figure of a huge divine beast, a bear, appeared above the void of Daqin.
But as the luck manifested, what came with it was not the transformation of the bear, but a sudden collapse, turning into the collapse of South Korea's luck.
Mysterious roar.
There was a brilliant light on his body, which directly swallowed up all the luck belonging to South Korea and transformed it into the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty.
It’s just that the country’s destiny cannot be materialized now.
The destiny that belongs to humanity cannot be manifested.
"Qin destroyed the first country and perished."
"With such a huge amount of luck, if one were to submit to the Way of Heaven and call oneself the Son of Heaven, one might be able to mobilize the power of luck with the name of the Son of Heaven and the Emperor's decree, but this is ultimately putting the cart before the horse."
"How can our race be manipulated by the Way of Heaven? How can we be its puppets?"
Qin Ying raised his head and looked at the Qin Dynasty's luck being swallowed up in the void.
There is also a feeling in my heart.
at the same time.
Outside the Dachao Palace.
Ying Zheng stood on the stairs.
The officials stood on both sides of the stairs.
And on the square.
Han Wangan had a face full of grief, perhaps unwillingness or fear.
At this moment he was holding a box.
It contained his royal seal, map, and sword.
"Han An."
"now."
"Surrender to the Qin Dynasty."
The King of Han held up the box and knelt down facing the King of Qin.
"Han An."
"Are you very unwilling?"
Ying Zheng looked down at Han An with a mocking look on his face.
"I dare not." Han An was terrified.
"The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. It has been like this since ancient times."
"When you joined forces with Zhao to attack our Great Qin, you should have thought of this day."
"but."
"As a king."
"The capital was not taken, but they abandoned it and fled, abandoning their subjects and their duties."
"You don't deserve to have any resentment." Ying Zheng said coldly, with a mockery towards the King of Han.
"Your Majesty."
"The sacrificial tripods for the ancestral temple of the Han royal family have also been transported." Ren Xiong reported loudly.
"The king's seal, the map, the king's sword, and the tripod for ancestral temple sacrifices."
"Even the King of Han."
"Send them all to the ancestral temple."
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"Yes." Ren Xiong accepted the order respectfully.
"Your Majesty."
"This time we will destroy Korea."
"Countless Korean dignitaries have been captured, and they all need to wait for the king to deal with them." Lu Buwei said.
"Any capable civil servants who are willing to submit to our Great Qin are available."
"Those who are incapable are reduced to slavery, sold as government slaves, or forced to do corvée labor."
"The land in Guanzhong of our Great Qin is fertile, but it still needs manpower to cultivate it and provide food for our Great Qin's elite soldiers to conquer."
"At least 70% of the soldiers captured in Han should be arranged for me to go to Guanzhong to open up new land."
"The remaining 30% will be distributed to the northern border and the land of Bashu." Ying Zheng said slowly.
This time in Korea.
The number of captured Han soldiers exceeded 200,000, and even approached 300,000.
So much manpower cannot be wasted.
After all, they had all fought against the Qin Dynasty and had the blood debt of Qin's brave soldiers on their hands. If they were directly pardoned, how unfair would that be to the Qin warriors who died on the battlefield?
Great Qin.
There is no shortage of troops this time.
As for these surrendered soldiers, if they behave properly, they may be pardoned, but if they continue like this, they will be slaves forever.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
"Hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers all have martial arts skills."
“Such a large manpower needs to be looked after.”
"I think we cannot allow these surrendered soldiers to be slaves forever. If this continues for a long time, chaos will arise."
"All slaves who surrender can be given a term of enslavement. After the term is over, those who behave properly can be pardoned and return to their native places."
"In addition, if you have made contributions to our great Qin, such as land reclamation and road construction, you can also be pardoned with appropriate grace." Lu Buwei said at this moment.
Hearing what Lu Buwei said.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "What do you think the deadline should be?"
"Ten years."
Lu Buwei said immediately.
In this world filled with abundant spiritual energy, most of the soldiers serving in the army are young and strong men between the ages of fourteen and thirty, and no older than fifty at most.
And human life span is naturally longer than in the ordinary world.
Even if one has not reached the level of a grandmaster, an ordinary person with a long lifespan can live to be over a hundred years old.
Ten years is actually not a long time.
Compared to being slaves forever, these ten years are definitely a chance for these slave surrendered soldiers to work hard for them.
"This matter."
"Father Zhong will draw up some rules himself."
"What level of labor will be required within ten years, and what rules will be required within ten years, all of these must be worked out."
"of course."
"There are also laws to be enforced. If slaves cause chaos, they will be severely punished." Ying Zheng immediately handed the matter over to Lu Buwei.
If these surrendered soldiers are not given hope and become slaves forever, they will definitely not be able to do much labor and reclamation. Compared to forcing them, it is better to make them willingly do so.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
“South Korea is dead now.”
"Almost all of the territory has fallen into the control of our Great Qin."
"Han has a vast territory and a population of over ten million. We need an able official to govern it."
"This matter still needs the king's decision."
Li Si stood up and began to speak.
"It does take a capable official to properly govern the land of Korea."
"Does anyone among you recommend anyone?" Ying Zheng looked at the courtiers on both sides of the stairs.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
"I recommend the second son of the Meng family, Meng Yi."
Wang Wan stepped forward and recommended.
"I recommend Shang Qing Yao Jia."
Li Si immediately recommended it again.
Governing Korea, which was originally a country, is a real achievement.
If he could obtain the position of chief administrative officer, it would be a great achievement and would surely serve as a qualification for promotion in the future.
Many court officials also recommended him.
Ying Zheng thought for a moment.
"Meng Yi is the chief officer, and Yao Jia is the deputy."
"Responsible for governing all affairs in Korea."
"Other."
"Officials from all over the territory of Han surrendered, and talents were selected to assist them."
"Stabilize the Han area as soon as possible." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Great King Shengming."
The ministers said in unison.
No one dared to object to Ying Zheng's words.
Today's Ying Zheng is not the same as the Ying Zheng in the historical world. He has to be checked and balanced by powerful ministers and balance factional conflicts. In the Qin court, Ying Zheng is the absolute king, holding royal power and commanding millions of troops.
And we also need the full support of the ancestral temple.
Court officials could submit proposals, but all decision-making power lay with Ying Zheng.
This is the imperial way!
He has the power to govern the country in a kingly way and has the power to exert pressure tyrannically!
Unknowingly.
The way of being a king that his teacher taught to Ying Zheng in the past has been mastered by him and he has initially put it into practice.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
"One more thing."
Li Si bowed to Ying Zheng.
"Speak." Ying Zheng looked at Li Si.
"Han Gongzi Fei, like me, graduated from the Jixia Academy and had the same teacher. Han Fei has great talent and can be put to great use."
"If we can recruit Han Fei into our Great Qin and let him work for the king, allowing him to display his talents, the king will surely gain more capable ministers." Li Si said loudly.
There was also a hint of pleading in the words.
in history.
Han Fei's death was caused by Li Si's jealousy. He was worried that Han Fei's entry into Qin would affect his status in Qin and that Han Fei's talent would surpass his.
But now.
The Qin Dynasty is no longer following history or destiny.
Because of Qin Ying's intervention.
Everything in Daqin has gone astray.
Everything has changed.
Lis.
Now he has a high status in Daqin and is appointed as one of the Nine Ministers. Compared with Han Fei in Han, although he has the status of a prince, he has never realized his ambitions and has not even been reused.
at this point.
Li Si is already much stronger than Han Fei.
and so.
Why is Li Si jealous?
He was happy to see the Qin State becoming stronger.
and.
They are from the same school.
It will be a good thing for us to serve as ministers in the same palace in the future.
"If Han Fei is willing to surrender, he can be exempted from slavery and serve the court."
"only."
"This matter requires the Chief Justice to go and persuade him personally." Ying Zheng said slowly.
The talent of Han Fei.
Naturally, he had heard of it a long time ago.
It’s just that Han Fei is a member of the Han royal family and a prince.
It's not that easy to make him surrender.
"I will do my best." Li Si said immediately.
"Pass on my edict."
"Order General Wang Jian to continue to garrison Han territory and wipe out the remnants of the rebellious forces in Han territory."
"Other."
"The Shaofu dispatched the county soldiers to garrison Han, and temporarily returned them to Mount Li for deployment."
"Order the Lishan camp to compile a list of the generals' achievements in this battle. I will reward them one by one."
"The rest of the meritorious warriors will all be rewarded according to their military merits."
"That's it."
"Nothing, let's go."
Ying Zheng announced with a wave of his hand.
Then he put his hands behind his back and returned to Zhangtai Palace.
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
All the ministers shouted in unison.
"Meng Yi, Yao Jia."
Lu Buwei walked over slowly.
Two young officials, Meng Yi and Yao Jia, immediately stepped forward.
"Please give your orders, Prime Minister."
The two of them immediately bowed respectfully.
"No need to be so polite. I just want to tell you two something." Lu Buwei smiled.
"Please tell me, Prime Minister. I will definitely remember it." Meng Yi and Yao Jia looked at each other and said immediately.
"Han has existed for hundreds of years. Although its national strength is weak, it has its own foundation. Now that Han has been destroyed, all its people and territory belong to Qin. However, for the people of Han and the powerful people in Han, there must be many people who are against our Great Qin."
“For these people.”
"Give him severe punishment, and kill one to warn the rest."
"For those who obey our Great Qin, we will treat them with kindness."
"After you two entered Han, Meng Yi was in charge of government, and Yao Jia was in charge of criminal law." "One is about grace, and the other is about strict law."
"With the addition of our great Qin troops stationed there, Han will surely be able to integrate quickly." Lu Buwei explained patiently.
"I understand." Meng Yi and Yao Jia responded immediately, looking at Lu Buwei with respect.
After Lu Buwei's suggestion, the key to their entry into Han became clear: how to govern.
After all, they had never served as local county governors, and as the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty for 20 years, Lu Buwei naturally had unique insights into government affairs and laws.
In Zhangtai Palace, the back hall!
Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the huge sand table map under his feet.
There was a roar.
The King of Qin drew his sword from his waist and slashed out.
An invisible gust of wind blew out.
All the flags originally flying over the Korean territory were swept down.
"Since then."
"Han Wucun."
"All the territory of Han belongs to Qin."
"Han, the first country."
"Next, Zhao and Wei. Let's see which one can be easily dealt with."
"I have a legitimate reason."
"I already have one."
"Zhao, Wei, Han, and Chu, these four countries joined forces to attack our Great Qin. They were the first to take action, and I am sending troops to them for revenge."
Ying Zheng's cold gaze fell on the territories of the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Chu, and a wave of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Afang."
"Which country will you be in?"
"Did you return to Zhao?"
"Did the teacher save you?"
"Or...are you really gone?"
"Oh, I guess I was wrong."
"I will find you even if I search the whole world." Ying Zheng stared at the sand table, as if the whole world was present in his eyes, which also gave him unlimited ambitions.
At this moment!
"Your Majesty."
Ying Xi's voice rang out in Zhangtai Palace and reached Ying Zheng's ears.
"Uncle, come in."
Ying Zheng said slowly.
Ying Xi walked slowly into the back hall. When he saw the huge sand table in front of him, he smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. This time you have taken the first step towards unifying the world."
“It’s just the first step.”
"If we want to destroy the remaining five countries, we will have a long way to go." Ying Zheng smiled slightly.
"I have come here to tell the king."
"The right to baptize in the ancestral temple is completely handed over to the king."
"Your Majesty, you may grant your meritorious ministers baptism in the ancestral temple."
“You can baptize once a year, and no more than 20 people can be accommodated at a time.”
"Your Majesty can decide for yourself who to bestow the gift upon," Ying Xi said.
"The ancestral temple values me so much that it has granted me such authority."
"I will never let the ancestral temple down."
Ying Zheng also looked at Ying Xi seriously and said.
The right to baptize in the ancestral temple.
The ancestral temple has always been in charge.
The Qin kings of all dynasties wanted to have their military generals baptized in the ancestral temple, but only a few of them could be baptized in each era.
But now it is in his hands.
have to say.
Ying Zheng remembered the great kindness of the ancestral temple in his heart.
When the bloodline was polluted in the past, the ancestral temple could have sat back and watched. After all, it was a worldly matter, and the ancestral temple generally would not intervene. It had been like this since ancient times. But the ancestral temple took action after all, and everything was for him.
"The ancestral temple also believes in the king."
Ying Xi said with a smile.
"This time."
"In addition to allowing meritorious military generals to enter the palace for baptism, I am also preparing to allow civil officials to enter."
"I wonder if there are any taboos?" Ying Zheng asked.
"A general can enter the ancestral temple for baptism to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation, consolidate his foundation, open up his meridians, and remove impurities."
"If a civil official does not have such a strong foundation in martial arts, he will also improve by practicing martial arts, and will also have the effects of a military general. It can also enhance his martial arts talent and prolong his life." Ying Xi said slowly.
"That's good." Ying Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
all the time.
All the soldiers were military generals who entered the ancestral temple for baptism, and there were almost no civil officials.
He was really worried that there might be some drawbacks.
Although the civil officials of the Qin Dynasty did not have as strong martial arts skills as the military generals in governing the country, in this martial age, almost everyone had a foundation in martial arts, the only difference was their strength and specialization.
"Once the king has chosen the people to be baptized in the ancestral temple, he can send someone directly to the temple to pass on the message."
"I can arrange for the people to be baptized to enter the baptism hall of the ancestral temple." Ying Xi said.
"Thank you." Ying Zheng thanked him.
"My minister retire."
Ying Xi did not stay long. After bowing, he turned around and left.
Looking at Ying Xi's back.
In fact, Ying Zheng had another ambition in his heart: "The ancestral temple is the greatest secret place of our Great Qin. After the world is unified, I will also unveil the veil of this ancestral temple!"
……
The main hall of the ancestral temple!
"This is a magnificent performance."
"Zheng'er is only twenty-seven now."
"They actually destroyed the Kingdom of Han and captured the King of Han alive."
"Even though we tried our best, we still failed to complete the journey eastward through Hangu Pass. We are truly destined to be together."
"Hahaha, not bad."
"Han is destroyed, and we have a foothold in the east. Our Great Qin has finally left this western corner and marched east to unify the world."
"My Great Qin will unify the world within ten years."
“How magnificent.”
"The world is unified, the destiny belongs to Qin, and the plan of the ancestor is finally completed..."
In the main hall.
The souls of all the Qin kings floated into the air, filled with emotion.
Obviously.
He was naturally happy that Qin had conquered Han.
The souls present were all the kings of Qin throughout the dynasties. When they were kings, monarchs, and dukes, all they wanted was to make the Qin Dynasty strong, go east through Hangu Pass, and create a unified Qin Dynasty.
now.
The wish they once longed for was fulfilled.
The Qin Dynasty's road to the east has been opened.
No one can organize the Qin Dynasty to march eastward and unify the country.
After annexing Korea, not only will Daqin's population see a huge increase, but its territory will also become more vast.
"Zheng'er."
"very good."
"At only 27 years old, he accomplished a feat that we have not accomplished for many years."
"With the destruction of Han, the three-way balance of power is gone."
"I'm still looking forward to the unified scene in the future." Qin Hou said with a smile.
"good."
The Qin kings nodded one after another, each of them was filled with excitement.
For them.
Ying Zheng was their direct descendant, and all the kings of the secular dynasties came from the lineage of Qin Hou. They were very pleased with the military achievements achieved by Ying Zheng, their descendant.
This time!
Outside the main hall of the ancestral temple.
Ren Xiong personally led the imperial guards and escorted the King of Han to the place.
"Thank you, Commander Ren. You can hand over the King of Han to any disciple of the clan." Ying Xi smiled at Ren Xiong.
Then waved his hand.
Several clan disciples walked out and quickly came before King Han.
Two of them guarded the King of Han on the left and one on the right, and the other two held the royal seal and other items in their hands.
"Zongzheng."
"I will go back and report to the king."
Ren Xiong bowed and left the Ancestral Temple Square with his guards.
"What exactly are you Qin going to do to me?"
"Kill me if you want. I'm not afraid."
Since entering Qin, Han An has lived in fear. Now he has been transferred from the Imperial Guards and sent to the Qin Ancestral Temple.
This made Han An even more frightened.
"You are not a king who is not afraid of death."
"If you want to die, why don't you do it before the city is captured?"
Ying Xi looked at King Han with a hint of mockery.
"you you……"
Han An looked at Ying Xi, but couldn't refute anything.
"Speak of it."
"Today, as an outsider, you will see with your own eyes the greatest secret of our Great Qin. Even if you die, you can be content."
Ying Xi smiled faintly.
Then he waved his hand, turned and walked towards the main hall of the ancestral temple.
"Walk."
A clan disciple shouted coldly at King Han.
Then he carried King Han directly into the main hall of the ancestral temple.
As the palace door opened.
Ying Xi walked into the hall.
The souls of many Qin kings were also watching.
"Why did you bring me to your Qin ancestral temple?"
"Even if I die, I will still be a member of the Han royal family. I will never worship you as the ancestor of the Qin State."
When he saw the ancestral temple and looked at the many Qin kings' spirit tablets displayed in the main hall, Han An immediately became angry.
He seemed to have thought of the purpose of being taken to the Qinzu Temple.
"You are not worthy of worshipping the ancestor of the Qin State."
Ying Xi said coldly.
Then he looked at the numerous ancestral kings of Qin who were sitting on the tablets: "My ancestors and kings, the First Ancestor has sent a message for this person, so I will go and pay my respects to the First Ancestor first."
"Go."
"Now that we have destroyed the Kingdom of Han, all of Han's fortune will belong to our Great Qin."
"After this, the ancestor will surely gain great things."
"good."
"This King of Han is quite interesting. Even now, he still thinks we should force him to worship us."
"That's ridiculous."
"If he doesn't have the bloodline of my Ying family, if he doesn't have the body of my Great Qin, is he worthy of worshipping me?"
"The Han royal family is ridiculous. If any of my descendants of the Great Qin were as greedy for life and afraid of death as him, I would definitely kill him."
"That's right. As a king, even if the country is destroyed, you should die with the country. Although this boy is a king, he actually ran away after the country was destroyed. It's ridiculous."
……
Many Qin kings commented on the King of Han, and all of them were sarcastic.
Subsequently.
Ying Xi walked to the back hall of the ancestral temple.
They came to a place covered by a curtain of light. There seemed to be an invisible portal, and it seemed that it was not in Xianyang or in this world.
Ying Xi took out a token with a word on it: Zu.
"Ancestor's order, start."
Ying Xi sent a stream of true energy into the token in his hand.
time.
The token in his hand released a ray of light, which hit the light curtain in front of him.
When the token light merges.
The white light curtain in front of me suddenly changed and turned into a portal. Looking towards the portal from the ancestral temple, one could only see a hole in the portal.
Ying Xi said nothing and walked in slowly.
"What...what on earth is this?"
"Where are you taking me?"
Han An was completely panicked. The location and the unknown that awaited him were enough to terrify him.
But no one answered him.
As I stepped into the portal, the world spun around me.
A moment later, it landed on the ground.
Another space appears.
What comes into view is a huge training square where countless people are practicing.
When Ying Xi came.
Many disciples who were cultivating in the ancestral land looked over.
"Is this the King of Han?"
"Why don't you look like a king at all?"
"How can he be a king? In the secular world, when the Qin army attacked his capital, he just ran away with his men. He is so afraid of death. It's ridiculous."
"If it weren't for the fact that we can't leave our ancestral land, it would be ridiculous for someone so afraid of death to have stayed as king for so long."
When the disciples of the ancestral land saw Queen Han, they began to mock her without any hesitation.
After Han An arrived at the ancestral land, he looked at this unique place and felt even more frightened, and his whole body was shaking.
……
PS: Thank you for your support, I’m really grateful.
