The first emperor toured Longxi County, followed Huizhong Road to Jitou Mountain, then worshiped Chaona Qiuyuan, went north directly to Anding County and entered Beidi, all the way to Hunhuaizhang.At the Yingchari Pavilion and the newly built Binggou Bridge, tens of thousands of heads of Guizhou knelt down to welcome them; there was a city without a name in the muddy bosom, and it turned out that Meng Tian was waiting for the first emperor to personally write the imperial pen.The next day, the first emperor wanted to inspect the lives of the tribes living together. At the home of Amutu, an old Huns man, the first emperor had a cordial conversation with Amutu.

Immigrants garrisoned the frontiers, vigorously cultivated the new Qinzhong, dug the mouth of the river from the Aishan Gorge, and opened branches to form small rivers to irrigate the fields downstream. This is a major event in developing agriculture and enriching the country.Besides, his son Fusu was reprimanded by him in Northern Xinjiang, of course he felt uncomfortable. After thinking about it again and again, Emperor Shi Huang decided to go to Northern Xinjiang for a tour in the golden autumn of this year.Shihuang especially liked parades. Although this time it was just a simple parade, he still arranged a very tight itinerary.He first went west and followed the route that his ancestors came from the east, and traced back to Longxi County.This place has a lot of background, it has always been recognized as the birthplace of West Qin Dynasty.

To the west of Qishan Mountain, the old ancestors occupied all the green mountains, green waters, grasslands and fertile land here. In winter, the cold current of West Asia is covered with ice and snow, and in summer, the western plateau is red hot and sunny. After thousands of years of painstaking efforts, they were able to be granted the title of meritorious service when the emperor of Zhou moved eastward.How hard-won this is!The ancestors knew how to raise horses and were good at running ranches. Zhou Tianzi's horses in Huangzhuang's pastoral garden were all obtained from BMW horses from Yingjia ranch in West Qin Dynasty.Yi Qurong gradually grew, almost competing with the Ying family, and the two tribes almost grew stronger day by day in the battle.Sometimes thinking about it is full of emotions!When the first emperor reminisced about the past and flipped through the classics, he often sighed endlessly.Therefore, every year when I routinely go back to Longxi County to worship, I will use a special car.This year, he would like to take this opportunity to visit Longxi County in person and pay homage to the ancestors there.

I heard that the First Emperor was going to visit Longxi County, and the governor of Longxi County had already made careful preparations. Along the way, the farmhouses on both sides of the official road had to paint new doors and windows, cut and paste female workers for a good harvest, and hang the Panlong black flag.It has been a few days since the governor of Longxi County welcomed the first emperor in the eastern plateau of Longxi. Thousands of Guizhou heads were kneeling in front of the newly built Longmen Archway. The first emperor was very happy to see this enthusiastic scene, and he traveled around Longxi County accompanied by all the officials.When they came to the sheriff's mansion, all the people cheered and cheered.The congratulatory speeches shouted by the people were pre-booked by the sheriff and his subordinates, and they were nothing more than praises of meritorious deeds, long life and boundless life.

Suddenly, the first emperor saw a plaque above the door of a freshly painted house with the words "Han Mo Shu Xiang Di" written on it, but the couplets on both sides were covered up. Out of curiosity, he stopped the imperial chariot.The Royal Forest Army had already sealed off this street.The First Emperor calmly walked out of the chariot, approached the underside of the plaque and looked carefully. It turned out that the plaque was bestowed by the ancestor of the former emperor, King Qin Huiwen, and it was engraved and hung with permission.But the county guard ordered people to cover all the plaques, but unexpectedly the covering was blown off by the gust of wind.

After the first emperor saw it clearly, he bowed in the street, and all the officials knelt and cheered all over the street when they saw this.After getting up, the sheriff realized that he had caused a catastrophe, so he knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.Shihuang asked angrily: "What crime are you thanking? I haven't decided what crime I should give you! Go and invite me to bring the Patriarch here." Hearing that it was a request, the county guard dared not neglect it, and ordered the general to be tight The closed courtyard door was pushed open, and the courtyard was already full of families, young and old, kowtowing to the first emperor.The first emperor excitedly called a man in his fifties to stand up and speak.His amiable expression reassured the other party's doubts, and it was not at all what the sheriff said. "I've heard of this plaque a long time ago, but I don't want to, but it's at your house!"

"It all depends on the great blessings of the royal family. The ancestors of King Hui, the gods and the ancestors of the people, just set up a mourning hall to worship at Wangshuo." The first emperor was very happy when he heard that: "Oh! I haven't heard of this, can you show me the holy face?" The man showed no signs of fear: "Little people are extremely hard to let go, I can't ask for anything, please—" The first emperor followed the man inside, and he saw that there was a gate built by himself in the west direction of the courtyard. Inside, there was an incense case for King Qin Huiwen, and the details of the plaque and book given by King Qin Huiwen were engraved in jujube wood.The first emperor held incense and offered sacrifices, and the two withdrew.Shi Huang thought to himself, why not test this person in one or two exams?So he said: "Since your family has been honored by the emperor, it must be worthy of this reputation. Can you present an article in public?" The man naturally understood what the first emperor meant, and immediately recruited his eldest son and grandson. Come together.

But the eldest grandson wants to say first: It was the eldest son's turn to speak: Finally it was Lao Tzu's turn to say: This is not over yet, just listen to the eldest grandson's final conclusion: The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have their own literary talents, and they have become a lighthouse poem by themselves.However, the words in the poems and prose were slightly ironic. Shihuang was upset, but he didn't say it out of his mouth, he just kept saying it was fine.He knew in his heart that it must be the local county guard who made the village restless in order to welcome the emperor, while ordinary people dared not speak out, but blamed the emperor for their crimes.The sheriff stood by the side resentfully, as if waiting for a reward. Shihuang knew that this was an official practice, so let's grant it!Let the imperial study serve you with a pen: the governor of Longxi County has made great contributions in welcoming the driver, and has been promoted to the prime horse of the Royal Horse Muyuan...

"Ah..." Longxi County has always preserved mountains, rivers, grasslands, swamps and forests, all of which are royal gardens. It was the Ying's pasture that was managed by officials from generation to generation.And the official position is second only to Sangong and higher than Jiuqing, but he is an idle official who doesn't want to come and hears it with fear.It can neither compete for fame and fortune, nor enter the court and join the court. It is second only to Sangong in name, but it is actually a good place to retire.The governor of Longxi was stunned, and when he woke up to thank God, Shi Huang had already left.There is neither reward nor derogation to that calligraphy and ink mansion, just let him go!It is rare that people care so much about a century-old plaque with mottled paint.

Leaving Longxi County, the royal chariot followed the Huizhong Road to Jitou Mountain, and went down Jitou Mountain to Chaonaqiu to worship the water god.Chaonaqiu is one of the four famous waters of the Qin Dynasty, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a small basin in the middle of the mountains, with a large water surface and dangerous terrain; there are temples built, and dozens of official houses for sacrifices, where special people live and worship all year round , also belongs to the category of royal ancestral temple. After the sacrificial offering at Chao Naqiu, the First Emperor did not stay any longer, and went directly north through Anding County and entered Beidi.All the way to Aishan Gorge, Shi Huang stood beside the surging Yellow River, and the river flowed down like a galloping horse, flowing into Zhijin and going northward.Cui Hao, magistrate of Fuping County and governor of Xinqinzhong Water Conservancy Project, accompanied the observation.Looking at this magnificent water diversion irrigation project, the first emperor was amazed. Looking into the distance, the fields are flat, the crops are pleasing, and the farmers are opening the gates to release water.

The imperial chariot continued along the Hedong Road, passing through the Xinqinzhong Migration Village, enjoying the pastoral scenery, lake streets and port branches along the way.Traveling through Licheng, crossing the Yangtze Ferry, and wandering around Linrong Town, I have seen the prosperous business scene of various tribes sitting on Jia and doing business.Feng Shifen and King Xitixiutu came to have an audience. When the first emperor heard that a Hun prince had joined Daqin, he was very appreciative and said with a smile, "Very good, no courtesy! Is your tribe still used to life here?" "Reporting to Your Majesty, they are much more adaptable than I am. They will soon learn to speak Qin language, and they can also communicate proficiently with people from various tribes." "Haha...it's okay, take your time. King Xiutu, last time Meng Tian and Feng Shifen sent a joint report, I already know about it. I promise to keep your title, Hexi is your territory, and you don't pay national taxes. However, I can only guarantee that during my reign, as for what will happen a hundred years from now, no one can say for sure, right?" "I understand! Thank you, Your Majesty, long live long live long live!" King Xitixiutu was very excited.The First Emperor said again: "My next stop is going to Hunhuaishang, if you are interested, you can go with me." "Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty, I am willing." "Report—Emperor Daxing's royal chariot has left Linrong Town, and traveled northward for thirty miles." A fast horse galloped to report, and the civil and military officials and sergeants of the Chinese army were waiting in front of the Yingchai Pavilion by the Binggou Bridge Staff members stood by the road.Fusu wears the crown of the prince soaring to the sky, with nine dragon balls shining brightly, and tassels flying behind his head; wearing a golden armor, with his left arm exposed, holding a sword and pinching his waist, he stands side by side with Meng Tian facing the wind, with a heroic spirit and extraordinary bearing.It goes without saying that Meng Tian's silver armor is tight.Both Meng Tian and Fu Su were dressed in scarlet war robes, with solemn expressions, uniquely evoking the coquettishness of the new Qin Dynasty. "Investigate again and report again!" Meng Tian said solemnly. "Decree!" Feiqi turned his horse's head and sang, and left. This time, the Great Qin Emperor patrolled the border, sacrificed, and rewarded the army all the way, and finally came to Beidi County in Xinqinzhong.This is a great blessing in the new Qin Dynasty. Thousands of people came to see the majesty of the emperor in empty alleys.At this moment, the hustle and bustle has been immersed in the deep excitement and carnival... The banners are constantly swinging, and tens of thousands of fine cavalry and infantry are waiting in line.About half an hour later, Tanma's reports became more frequent.On the official road in the southwest, the sky is full of dust, the black ceremonial guards of the emperor, the flags are flying, the cars are rattling, and the sky-piercing halberds are shaking neatly in the air.The long parade of emperors and saints came windingly, and the immigrants knelt by the side of the road from afar, kneeling and worshiping.Soon, the chariots, chariots, phoenixes, banners, halberds and spears covering the sky and the sun have come close.Fu Su and Meng Tian lifted up their war robes, and led the civil and military officials and aides to walk down the Yingchari Pavilion.At this time, the already prepared beacon firework surrounded by south, east, and north sides and within 20 miles, immediately rose according to the predetermined movements and colors, and instantly painted the surroundings colorfully. Greetings.Meng Tian sang, "Kneel to receive the holy driver—" So he and Fusu led the crowd to kneel at the mountain pass to meet him. Immediately afterwards, the luan chariot cleared the way, and a hundred horses had arrived.The Dawan horses in the Western Regions were all white in color, and they trotted to the Binggou River to wait for the ride; behind them came a phalanx of fifty sweaty and bloody horses. The brush is like a mast like a wall; behind are more than a dozen dragon chariots with phoenix crowns and canopies, arranged in a double-folded front and rear.The body and shafts are all painted with gold and inlaid with silver, which are well-made, exquisitely engraved, and extremely luxurious.The wheels rolled over Huangnigang, and the porcelain-solid mountain road made a deafening sound. No one knew which car was the first emperor. After about a moment, the Imperial Forest Army stood on the south bank of the Binggou Bridge, protecting a dozen imperial chariots in the formation of wild geese.Behind them are the convoys of the Chinese and Chinese military officials who meanderingly arrived.Under the leadership of Mr. Fusu, more than a hundred military, political, military, civilian, and staff sergeants in the new Qin Dynasty shouted long live. "Long live, long live, long live!" The 10,000 Chinese army guard of honor on the north bank of Binggou also shouted like a tidal wave.The shouts fell, the mountains became silent, and a deacon and eunuch holding a silver handle came out of the car and sang loudly: "The emperor has ordered that the chariot will not be dismounted. The son has worked hard to help Su, and the general Meng Tian is very loyal. He will lead the way ahead. The emperor and you will go straight to the new city and talk about the friendship between the emperor and his ministers." "My minister helps Su obey the order!" "Meng Tian obeys the order!" The two stood up together with all the officials saluting, and slowly crossed the Binggou Bridge with tiger steps.The royal chariot followed closely behind. The nine-nine-eighty-one trumpet sounded from the top of the Hunhuai barrier city, and on both sides of the opened city gate stood Fusu and Mengtian military, political, civil and military officials who had rushed back in advance.Chariots, guards of honor, and chariots and horses rumbled into the city.Just listen to a eunuch singing loudly: "Mingjing Tianyi, take the holy driver—" Under the big screen wall engraved with five-legged monsters, colorful clouds and smoke are set off on the two sides of the bronze sparrow high platform; There are two beeps, followed by the rhythm of the chime bells, and the sound of the sheng and drums.Everyone knelt under Zhaobi Danchi to receive him, and there was a sudden shock.Immediately afterwards, there was another shout like a tsunami: "Long live, long live, long live!" Several chariots parked nearby suddenly opened their crowns in unison. Lightly opened, but there was no text.Wearing costumes, Pearl and Scorching Sun are caught in the crowd to peek at this once-in-a-lifetime event.Zhenzhu whispered in surprise: "God! This is not bad, it is not a human being, but a god." Jiaoyang made a face at her: "What god, your old man!" : "What did my sister say?" In front of another chariot with a canopy from the rich family, the ceremonial officials waited at the door with their black cloak canopies in their hands.The door of the car opened slightly, and a man in black came out first, and then another.Everyone held their breath, and the whole scene was surprisingly quiet.Finally, Yingzheng, the first emperor who dominated Kyushu, walked out of the dragon chariot, and he was indeed the Supreme Ninety-Five.The emperor is majestic and majestic, with the emperor's crown hanging; Jin Zunyugui, gorgeous clothes, embroidered clothes are spacious, brocade robes are shining, tinkling brightly; the forehead is long and accurate, the law is deep and long, and the beard is neatly trimmed.In short, it is a look of contempt for everything.He slowly stepped down from the imperial chariot, and once again shouted long live on the field.Scorching Yang and Pearl didn't make a sound, they even blocked their ears.Pearl was particularly annoyed: "It's too noisy, it's so boring!" Scorching Sun said playfully, "I haven't looked at your old man, how majestic." Pearl saw Shihuang for the first time, thinking about Fusu's promise to herself , my heart was already beating wildly.Could it be that he is really lucky to be the daughter-in-law of this overlord?It was hard for her to calm down.When Jiaoyang said this, Zhuzhu seemed to be awakened from a dream, her cheeks were flushed and hot, and her heart was even more difficult to calm down, she said in embarrassment, "Stop talking nonsense." Jiaoyang made a face for her again.At this time, I saw that the first emperor had already climbed on the temporarily built Danchi, before facing the five-legged monster, he just raised his hand broadly: "Everyone loves you!" "Long live thanks!" "The Great Qin Empire will prosper and prosper! The Son of Heaven is full of majesty and ceremonies, and the canopy will cover the Kyushu, and the life will be boundless!" But hearing the sound of prayers like a sea tide, no one really stood up. More than a dozen people including Fusu, Meng Tian, ​​King Xiti Xiutu, Feng Shifen, Tian Huo, Ren Xiao, Cui Hao, etc. knelt under the screen wall to accept inquiries from the first emperor.The First Emperor went straight to Meng Tian's side, and helped Meng Tian: "Ai Qing, I want to scare you! Get up and talk quickly." Meng Tian was very excited: "Thank you, Lord Long En!" Then he helped his son Fusu, both father and son burst into tears: "... Fusu, my son, I made you suffer!" Fusu's heart surged up and down, and he couldn't restrain it: "Father's car and horses bumped all the way, disturbing the holy body, and my son and minister felt very uneasy." "My health is fine." Shi Huang met with the rest of the people one by one.Everyone didn't get up, Shihuang himself sat on the temporary throne that had been set up.Zhao Gao then read out the edict of Jiawei: Young Master Fusu, General Meng Tian and more than a dozen other generals below, are diligent in the affairs of the king, sincere and thrifty, and they are rare national scholars with great achievements in our dynasty.Promoted, helped Su to be promoted to the commander-in-chief of northern Xinjiang, and exercised all military and political powers; Meng Tian bestowed a title, and exercised all military and political powers together with the commander-in-chief; King Xitixiutu bestowed a king's title; the rest were promoted to two ranks, and all the officers and men of the three armies were rewarded as a sign Appreciate... All the generals kowtowed to thank Long En, and then ended the nearly one-hour pick-up. Accompanied by Fusu, Mengtian and other ministers, the First Emperor climbed to the top of the Hunhuai barrier city.At this time, the sunset is infinitely good, the outline of Beiyi Mountain is clear, and the mountains and ravines are clearly visible.The light clearing mountains and haze hug the front of the mountain, showing a mystery, and the big river is brightly covered with emerald tones.After a while, the tone became darker, colorful at first, and then sank into a watery red.Looking at Beiyi Mountain again, the gully is completely submerged and invisible, presenting a dark purple hue.At this time, the orange red of the sunset is getting deeper and deeper, and the sunset glow is sprinkled all over the river, making it even more like the green hills.At this moment, the long river, the distant mountains, the flying sky, the sunset, the lone bird and the round sunset, it seems that all the wonders will come to an end here. "Magnificent—a wonderful sight!" The First Emperor was filled with emotion. "I have never seen such a beautiful scenery before! Meng Tian, ​​Fu Su, you and everyone are so lucky!" After speaking, she smiled heartily.All the ministers also laughed.Fusu said excitedly: "The mountains and rivers are so beautiful, even if there is no one inhabited, they are too beautiful to behold. This is the land of Kyushu, and the trillions of surnames are all the people. If you are close, the mountains and rivers are magnificent and the people's hearts want. Such a long-lasting state is longevity. There is no border to return from all directions! Father, this is the great fortune of our empire!" Shi Huang was very happy when he heard it, and said: "This is very reasonable, Fusu my son has learned a lot!" The courtiers surrounded by the first emperor chirped and followed the parrot in admiration.Suddenly, Shi Huang asked with a smile: "Meng Tian, ​​why do I see that this city gate has not been named yet? Could it be because you were negligent?" "Your Majesty is wise." Montana nodded and said, "This city already has a name, but I just wait for the emperor to bestow ink treasures, then this city and even the new Qin Dynasty can be bathed in the emperor's grace." "Oh, since that's the case, I will not be humble." "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fusu, Meng Tian and the others were overjoyed, Meng Tian then turned to a sergeant and said, "Go and make arrangements, let the pen, ink, and silk serve you."Meng Tian rubbed the ink, helped Su stretch the silk, Shi Huang frowned and muttered, holding the imperial pen, and the ink was flying like dragons and phoenixes, writing the three big characters of "Hunhuai barrier".Meng Tian happily immediately ordered the sergeant to be responsible for finding a craftsman to chisel and carve on the high-quality jujube wood that had been prepared. After a while, it was hung above the gate of Hunhuai Barrier. But the high-spirited Shi Huangdi was even more interested, and he was not tired at all.Looking at the red sun slowly falling on the Beiyi Mountain, my heart feels vast and boundless, with a mind that stretches across the sky and the earth.He stretched his arms, held the sky, embraced the setting sun, and displayed his brilliance.The six countries were unified, the Xiongnu were expelled, Nanyue surrendered, and the Great Wall was completed.Although the political affairs were complicated, they still couldn't stop his fast-running brain nerves.As a result, literary thoughts gushed out like a spring, and he couldn't help reciting softly and slowly: Thousands of years ago, sister Xia Jie liked to go to the Tianshan Mountains; Shang Zhou bought and destroyed beacon smoke, and only then did he compete in the Central Plains.The article is colorful, the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, the chaos of eight hundred years swept the Yin ruins, the dust and decay, the empty resentment and the darkness.The dog army disturbed, tired my Ying family, and rose up to resist.Save the people from water and fire, and relieve the emperor from encircling Qishan, and then he was granted the title by imperial edict.Since then, the Western Qin Dynasty has risen, and the world is in a state of affairs, and Xianggong is the first hegemony.One year, Yiqu Bolongyuan and I were inseparable brothers for hundreds of years.The two kings Hui and Zhao, my ancestors, were wise and powerful, Jiangyiqu, the west was leveled, and the West Qin shifted its strategy to the east to dominate the world.Sweeping thousands of armies and leveling the sea, guests and princes became counties and counties; the world is unified, and the empire is established.In the south, the barbarians are collected in the south of Chu, in the north, the Hulu are rejected to the north of Shangjun, and the Great Wall is extended to the East China Sea outside the pass of mountains and seas.Today there is Mengshi, planting mulberry and Mobei, immigrating to Liubian.Yellow flowers are all over the field, Binhu clothes are covered with muddy bosoms, and turbid clouds are crowned in the clouds.The misty waves are vast, the captain's pavilion is blocked, the straight road is in the sky, and the humming of Hu Jia is not heard in Xianyang, the palace is built in the capital, and the emperor's dynasty will last forever. The copywriter immediately found an old mason to chisel it on the Jieshi. At noon on the second day, accompanied by Fusu, Meng Tian and other ministers, Shihuang's chariot slowly drove towards the new ethnic village in New Qinzhong along the North-South Avenue in New Qinzhong.In front of the car window, Shi Huang was in a good mood, intently browsing the idyllic scenery on both sides of the avenue.The fields, the green fields, the great plains under the mountains, and the folk customs of the new immigrant villages all caught the eyes of Shihuang and his party.An inexhaustible imagination and great motivation pulled the mind of the great Qin ruler.Fusu and Mengtian, one on the left and one on the right, accompanied each other on horseback, and introduced to Shi Huang the immigration, reclamation, water conservancy, agriculture, and income conditions in the new Qin Dynasty.The first emperor was most interested in agricultural income, grain production, mixed residence of Qin and Hu, living customs and intermarriage status.The chariot and the chariot traveled slowly for about ten miles. Shihuang stopped the car and came to a field in person. He rubbed the heavy ears of grain and saw that the grains were full. Looking around, he could see a bountiful harvest. The soldiers brought the prepared watermelon to the first emperor to taste.Cut the watermelon into slices and distributed it to the ministers to taste. They were full of praise, and it was even more delicious and refreshing than Guanzhong watermelon.The first emperor said happily: "Not only is this watermelon refreshing and sweet, but even the ears of grain are surprisingly large. The crops here are generally better than those in Guanzhong. This is enough to prove that the development of the new Qinzhong is a wise move by our dynasty, and it is indeed a success." national policy." "Your Majesty is so right, I am ashamed!" It was Li Si who said this.A few ministers were attracted to praise, "Your Majesty is holy!" "Your Majesty's holy arbitrariness has never been seen since ancient times!"... The First Emperor said enthusiastically: "Ten years ago, when I first came to Jitou Mountain and saw the Huns grazing horses at the foot of the mountain, I wondered when I could include this place in our territory of Great Qin. Now, not only at the foot of Jitou Mountain, but also the whole The Great Yin Mountains have become my Great Qin’s backyard, fertile and wild, what a grandeur! Meng Aiqing, I remember that you once told me that you want to develop and build several new Qinzhong, so it seems that this is not an exaggeration.” Meng Tian didn't dare to be arrogant: "Thank you for your praise. This is relying on your majesty to deter the Kyushu, and the world of Delong. Of course, the Quartet will return ten thousand times!" "What Meng Aiqing said is very true, let's go, and show me the residential life of the Huns after they surrendered." Meng Tian said excitedly: "Your Majesty, there is a family in Lehutun in front of you. The four generations of grandparents and grandchildren live under the same roof. The two daughter-in-laws of the family are both Licheng women. The family is orderly, respects the old and loves the young, and is harmonious and beautiful, which is really a role model in the village." Shihuang followed the direction Meng Tian pointed, and he saw an ordinary small courtyard, he was very happy Authentic: "Oh, then I want to see and see." "I obey the order!" With an order, the Imperial Forest Army set up the entire village where Qin and Hu lived together, causing quite a commotion.The sergeant rode around on horseback, asking the people to stay at home if they had nothing to do.Meng Xiangyun immediately notified Amutu's family that they were going to pick up the holy driver, and Amutu almost collapsed to the ground in shock.The first emperor then walked into Lehutun accompanied by all the officials. Behind him, the palace guards wore black cloaks and umbrellas. Meng Tian and Fusu led them into a small courtyard.There are more than ten members of Amutu's family, and the youngest is still in his arms. Amutu is already in his eighties, and they knelt and kowtowed together outside the small courtyard: "The little people Amutu and his family bow to the emperor, long live, long live, long live!" Said: "Excuse me!" Meng Tian glanced around, and the women and children were trembling with fear, so he suggested: "Your Majesty, if you dare to ask for orders, let the women and children go into the house? The men are in charge That's all for the ceremony." Seeing the fearful expressions on the girls' faces, Shi Huang nodded: "Well, that makes sense." A eunuch beside him signaled loudly for the girls to return to the house for the time being... Amutu's family hurriedly thanked them, and the women and dolls got up and got into the house one after another. Shihuang even gently stroked the dolls' brown hair a few times.At this time, someone brought a chair to serve as the throne, and the first emperor sat down sideways, looked at Amutu and his son who were still kneeling in front of them, lowered their heads, and said loudly, "Amutu, you can raise your head to answer." Amutu Tu didn't know why: "What did you say? Your Majesty..." Meng Tian understood that Amutu was deaf, and patiently replied to Amutu: "The emperor gave you the ability to raise your head and answer." After every word, Amutu finally listened. Cleared up, he said again and again: "Thank you, Your Majesty..." He held his head high, bald on the top of his head, with thinning white hair, and a simple and honest face.The First Emperor asked: "The old man will live a long life this year?" Amutu leaned his forehead forward: "... What did Lord Long live say?" Meng Tian could only lean forward one step, and said word by word: "Long live asks you about your longevity." Mutu understood: "Oh! Xiaomin Canine is eighty-three years old." "The human life of seventy is rare since ancient times..." The First Emperor also paused every word: "Do you usually hunt?" Amutu shook his head: "Thanks to the blessing of Long live God, life is better now, who will suffer that." He pointed The saddle and stirrup hanging on the wall, and the bow on the wall, said humorously: "No, the stirrup is rusted, the bowstring is dry, and the saber is also made into a hoe. My grandsons, the emperor, guess what? , Seeing the horse, I was too scared to approach. Haha, it’s not like us back then, with a hundred thousand masters of string control..." "Heroes don't mention being brave..." Meng Tian reminded in time, and Amutu finally stopped talking. New Qinzhong: The central and eastern parts of Ningxia, Dingbian in Shaanxi Province, Huanxian County in Gansu Province, etc., are regional place names in Qin and Han Dynasties.During the reign of Qin Shihuang, Mengtian expelled the Xiongnu to take the fertile land of Henan (south of the Yellow River in the Hetao area) and immigrated to guard the frontier. It was different from "Qinzhong (now Guanzhong)", so it was called New Qinzhong. Huizhong Road: According to textual research, Huizhong Road runs from Xianyang to the northwest along Jingshui River to Pingliang, and then goes north through Watingguan (now south of Yuanzhou District, Guyuan City, Ningxia) to Qin Huizhong Palace (in today's Guyuan City). Qiuyuan: The famous water for worship.According to "Historical Records Suoyin", "Qiu is the place where the dragon is located." "Historical Records Collection" said: "Qiu Yuan is in Chaona County, Anding, with a radius of forty miles. It grows grass and trees." Chaona is now Pengyang County, Ningxia, and King Qin Huiwen of the Warring States Period sacrificed at Chaonaqiu when he attacked Chu, forming a historical allusion of "throwing to Qin and cursing Chu".Qin Shihuang established the empire, established a set of sacrificial system suitable for the status of the emperor, and held it at an appropriate time. Chaonaqiu was clearly listed as a place for sacrificial offerings. "From the west of Hua, there are seven famous mountains and four famous rivers... The water is called the river, and the temple is adjacent to Jin;At the same time, it is stipulated that the shrines of all counties and counties should be enshrined by the people themselves.Every spring, the ice melts, and in autumn, it freezes. In winter, the gods reward blessings and perform sacrifices.The sacrifices included wine and dried meat, and one big bull and one calf were used as the livestock.There are also Guiyu, coins and silk as sacrifices, which are very grand.Because Chaonaqiu is a famous water sacrifice, people from all over Beidi County spontaneously sacrificed to Wuzhi County, and this is also the only way for people in the southwestern part of the county to go to Chaonaqiu to worship.
