Through Time Chapter 351

The great matters of the state are ritual and military.

Sacrifice to Heaven.

It is an important means of stabilising the people.

A high platform had already been raised in the clearing outside the city, and by now it was surrounded by elite soldiers.

All the people were also gathered together.

As the ceremonial officer stepped forward, the whole ceremony began.

The majestic and grand sound of the ritual music rang out so loudly that even Zhao Lang, who was at the very outside, could hear it.

Of course, if he looked, he would only be able to see a blurred shadow.

“They actually brought a band out with them?”

Zhao Lang somewhat couldn’t help but spit out in his mind to

“This is too much of a show to be an emperor, I’d like to try it sometime.”

The thought of being an emperor was still on Zhao Lang’s mind.

It didn’t just come to the Great Qin, it had been there in his last life!

Of course, at that time, the thought of becoming an emperor was definitely not because he was worried about the country and the people.

As for what it was for, those who understood it would understand.

And as the ceremony went on, a figure appeared on the high platform and seemed to be saying something in a loud voice.

Although it was hard to see, Zhao Lang knew.

That was the First Emperor!

Zhao Lang could not help but feel a surge of heart!

After coming to the Great Qin for so long, he had finally met the First Emperor.

The first emperor of China, the first imperial ruler, His Majesty the First Emperor, the only one in all the ages!

If only he could get a little closer.

But at the thought that the First Emperor was about to be attacked and that he was part of it.

It didn’t feel good.

There was no way out, the First Emperor was long gone, and it was better to save his own life and that of his cheap old man.

By now many of the people had already taken the initiative to kneel down.

They were not kneeling to the First Emperor, but to the heavens.

Praying for a good life, a good life where they could be fed and clothed.

And at the outermost edge, Liu Bang was watching the heavenly ritual with Fan Kuai and Lu Ò

“A man has to live a life with this kind of pomp and circumstance to be considered complete, ah.”

Liu Bang sighed as he looked at the high platform in the distance and imagined being worshipped by all the people.

Fan Kuai, who was on the side, snorted and laughed.

“Big brother, I thought I was good enough at dreaming, but I didn’t expect you to be better at dreaming than even me.”

Now, he was just a butcher, Liu Bang was a small pavilion commander, and Lu Ò was just a dirt rich man who had read some books.

The three of them, who did not have to work and could drink and eat meat every day, were already lucky enough.

I never thought his elder brother would have such a daydream.

“What do you know! Big brother has big ambitions!”

Lu hastened to reprimand, then smiled at Liu Bang and said

“Big brother, don’t listen to this hobgoblin.”

Liu Bang laughed unconcernedly, he certainly wouldn’t countenance it.

He said this, in fact, he himself did not believe it, he just had some emotions.

After all, he himself was now getting on in years, and those ambitions of his youth had long since been worn out.

There was only one thing left to think about.

In another three or five years, he will have resigned himself to his fate.

As several people continued to watch the ceremony unfold, Fan Kuai looked around somewhat impatiently, when suddenly his eyes lit up.

Speaking to the two men at one side, he said

“Big brother! Isn’t that the little golden grain gongzi!”

Liu Bang followed and looked over, and spotted Han Xin not far away.

In his heart, he knew that he had the money for the journey back.

He still decided to head back after watching the sky ritual.

These days, the events in the county, and the disturbances he had seen at the Xiang residence, had made him a little uneasy.

Unfortunately, there was a wise man called Zhang Liang on the Xiang House’s stately home who could not be taken away, so he would have to see if there would be any chance later.

Liu Bang quickly spoke up and

“What little gold grain gongzi, that’s Han gongzi!”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Then smiling, he walked towards Han Xin

“Sir Han…”

At that moment, on the high platform, the ceremonial administrator was still reading aloud the benediction written by Qin Shi Huang.

Serious-faced guards on either side.

Zhao Gao, Li Si and Meng Yi were also full of solemnity.

And Hu Hai was also full of excitement on the high platform at this time.

The ceremony was almost at its end.

The ceremonial pipe lit an oil fire to the sound of ceremonial music.

Next it was necessary for Qin Shi Huang to burn the benediction so that the smoke and fire would bring it to heaven.

With a serious face, Qin Shi Huang placed the benediction into the oil fire and the precious silk on which the benediction was written instantly turned into a green smoke.

It rose into the sky.

At this point, the ceremony was almost over.

But just then, Qin Shi Huang suddenly took out another piece of silk from his bosom with writing all over it.

Then he put it into the oil fire, and the silk once again turned into a green smoke and rose into the sky.

The people around him froze for a moment.

Even Qin Shi Huang could not burn things at will with this oil fire.

It had to be something that concerned the fate of the country and was worthy of being reported to heaven.

After all, even Qin Shi Huang himself, who inscribed the jade seal on the

“Be commanded by Heaven to live forever!”

What else, then, was at stake for the fate of the Great Qin…

Suddenly, the eyes of several ministers around him lit up in unison.

The only thing that could make Qin Shi Huang tell Heaven alone now was the Great Qin’s heritage!

Sure enough, Qin Shi Huang quickly took out a small wooden box from his bosom and gave it to Zhao Gao, who was standing by.

Then he said.

“This is what I have just informed the heavens about, so keep it safe and keep it as proof.”

Zhao Gao hastily responded that

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

At this, even the somewhat slow-witted Hu Hai reacted!

What his father had just burned was about the throne of the Great Qin!

But why not just say it in public!

Hu Hai’s mind hurriedly worked out that

“Not in public, because it’s not convenient.”

“Why is it inconvenient? Because the identity cannot be exposed!”

“Fusu is in the northern border at this time, there is nothing inconvenient about his identity.”

“Gao is staying in Xianyang to oversee the state, even less so!”

“Then…”

Hu Hai’s body couldn’t help but tremble at the thought of it!

Then it would be only him!

That’s it! That’s it!

He is a royal son, but he cannot reveal his identity now.

It can only be used in this way, to inform the heavens!

And his father was tantamount to expressing him, otherwise he wouldn’t have let him come to the heavenly ritual!

He would not have given the box to Zhao Gao, who was half his teacher, in front of him!

In that case, it all made sense!

Sure enough! Father still loved him!

In a flash, he looked at the wooden box and his gaze became much hotter.

Soon, the ceremony was over.

There were also messengers who transmitted the events of this heavenly ritual to the entire Great Qin.

The First Emperor of the Great Qin had sacrificed to the heavens for them, so of course they had to be made aware of it.

Soon, the First Emperor of Qin returned to the palace and

“I am a little tired, so all of you should retire.”

Soon, after everyone had retired, Qin Shi Huang said indifferently to the empty palace that

“Has the news all been brought out?”

In the next instant, a figure emerged from nowhere and returned to, the

“Your Majesty, the news has all gone out with the messenger.”

“In a few days, the Black Soldier Guards everywhere will begin to deliver this message.”

“Just… Are you really sure you want to spread this one message?”

The figure hesitated for a moment, he would never question his sire’s orders, but this time, his sire’s orders were simply too unbelievable.

For that message was that

“The First Emperor is dead!!!”

One more chapter later, don’t wait, get up tomorrow and read it, it’s in the middle of a code frenzy.
