All the people come to celebrate?
Qin Shi Huang froze for a while before coming back to his senses.
The people of the six kingdoms naturally had grievances against the Great Qin, after all, their home countries had been occupied and their fathers and brothers had been killed by the Qin army in many cases.
Internally in the Great Qin, after the conquest, the people of Qin did not receive many war dividends.
So there were also grievances against the Great Qin.
The imperial family of Great Qin received more reverence but never such congratulations.
“Are you here to congratulate Long’er?”
Qin Shi Huang asked uncomfortably.
Although it had already been told, the black ice guard returned, once again
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Only then did he nod his head, with a complex expression, and said
“Let them enter the city.”
It was the greatest honour for the imperial family when all the people came to congratulate them.
Even he, I am afraid, could not do it.
The Black Ice Guard led the order and left.
At this moment, a loud noise came from above the street, and when Qin Shi Huang looked up, he saw that Zhao Lang was slowly walking towards this place with his team.
Qin Shi Huang gave a slight nod to Zhao Gao, who was standing by, and Zhao Gao immediately led his men into action, ready to meet Zhao Lang.
Zhao Long walked along the road, listening to the whispers of the people on either side.
Having come all this way, he certainly knew what the people were talking about.
But he was extremely open in his heart, even though he knew that all those ceremonial materials, if they were all distributed, would not really amount to much in the hands of each person and household.
But he believed that the people could feel who was treating them well.
Soon, all the way to the high platform for the sacrifice.
Pop stood on the high platform, and below him were the various ministers.
Hu Hai and Ying Yin Man were also mixed in.
Looking at his father on the high platform, Zhao Lang was about to salute and continue the ceremony when a voice suddenly came from beside him.
“Father, Zhao Lang is brutal and immoral, he cannot be the crown prince of my Great Qin!”
At this moment, the whole scene was extremely quiet, and when they heard the voice, all of them could not help but look over.
They saw the imperial sons, Fusu and Gao, walking over with serious faces.
And behind them, there was a group of Confucian students.
Seeing this scene, the people were extremely surprised and looked at each other.
This was the crown prince’s enthronement ceremony!
It was unprecedented for a prince to come and oppose it.
The faces of the courtiers also turned slightly odd, as they naturally knew Fusu.
After all, Fu Su’s teacher, Chun Yu Yue, was standing among them.
In a way, they were actually more supportive of Fu Su. After all, although Zhao Lang was the Crown Prince, he basically didn’t have too many friendships with them.
Looking at Zhao Lang’s behaviour, he was also the same as the First Emperor.
The Great Qin, on the other hand, did not need and could not afford a second Shi Huang.
Today, Zhao Lang’s enthronement ceremony has also given them something else to think about.
They also knew that Zhao Lang had given all these ceremonial materials to the people, and they even knew that Zhao Lang was the head of the peasant family.
But who said that they, the high officials and nobles, had to take care of the people?
A crown prince who was considerate of the people might not necessarily go along with their demands.
But Fusu was different. Although he was extremely benevolent and cherished the people, it was the same kind of patronage as theirs, a patronage from on high.
In fact, he was still in the same camp as them.
They were more partial to Fusu in their hearts, but they were only forced by the intimidation of Qin Shi Huang, and no one dared to raise objections.
Looking at the scene before them, however, they moved in their hearts.
Between each other, they even exchanged glances, as long as Fusu could hold back Qin Shi Huang, they would seize the opportunity to hold back Zhao Lang!
As it happened, it seemed that today Wang Jian, Marquis of Wucheng, and Li Si, the Prime Minister, were not present!
But they didn’t notice that the officials belonging to the Legalist school and the military generals belonging to the Military school were all looking at Zhao Lang without glancing at each other.
They were almost oblivious to the changes in their colleagues, and even had a bit of sarcasm in their eyes.
Qin Shi Huang’s face turned a little cold, of course he knew that Fusu and Gao would make trouble, but he did not expect that the other side would actually cause trouble in front of his ancestors!
If the other party wasn’t his own son, he would have ordered his execution straight away!
It was just that now that it had happened, it was still up to Zhao Lang to deal with it.
If he directly suppressed it himself, he would only lower Zhao Lang’s prestige.
At that moment, Qin Shi Huang looked at Zhao Lang on the stage.
Zhao Lang’s face certainly did not look too good at this time, he had never been the only one who had pitted others, he had never been pitted like this before.
The opponent had chosen his timing well this time.
Whether he argued with the other side or not at this point, he had already lost!
A dissenting prince will be scrutinised with suspicion no matter what he does!
But now was not the time to hesitate.
Zhao Lang turned around straight away, if he didn’t curse the other party to the point of vomiting blood today, all those spitting skills he had in his last life would be for nothing!
Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from the side of
“Gallant old Qin! Let’s go to the country! Gallant Qin! Restore our mountains and rivers! Blood will not be shed! We will not rest until we die!”
“Mighty old Qin…”
With a chorus of shouts, the crowd could not help but look towards where the voices came from.
They saw Wang Jian, whose hair had long since turned white, appearing in the street at some point.
Behind him were the equally pale old Qin men.
Listening to the song, all the Qin people unconsciously echoed it.
As the song went on, Wang Jian walked step by step to Zhao Lang and, without the slightest hesitation, bent down and saluted, saying
“Wang Jian, the soldier! Greetings, chief!”
Seeing this scene, everyone around them froze.
What kind of person was Wang Jian?
The Marquis of Wucheng of the Great Qin, an existence that had destroyed several kingdoms by himself!
He was a god of war!
But such a man actually bowed to his own Crown Prince!
And with a big salute!
Even the First Emperor might not be able to enjoy it nowadays!
“Teacher, you…”
Zhao Lang also looked at Wang Jian with some consternation, he did not expect that the other party would appear in this way.
Just without waiting for him to finish, Wang Jian smiled and stopped him, then said that
“Today I am just a disciple of the Bing family, you are the chief now, you can afford to accept this gift!”
At this point, Wang Jian said in a loud voice.
“Here is the leader of the Bing Clan! The disciples of the Bing Clan will obey orders!”
As soon as Wang Jian’s words fell, the sons of the Bing family among the military generals and ministers responded to the
“Respect the orders of the new chief!”
As he listened to the echoes around him, Zhao Lang also felt his heart rise with a bit of pride!
A smile appeared on Wang Jian’s face and he said that
“Chief, you must remember, a soldier is a fierce weapon, and a martial artist is a man who stops his sword.”
“Soldiering is dangerous, it should be done with caution!”
“I will remember, thank you, teacher!”
Zhao Lang bowed and saluted.
Wang Jian nodded before leaving, and then went to Qin Shi Huang’s side.
The veteran soldiers behind him joined the group behind Zhao Lang.
“Marquis Wucheng is not here today, is that why this is happening?”
Qin Shi Huang asked with a complicated expression, his own old minister had actually defected to Zhao Lang directly in front of everyone, in what amounted to a direct defection!
Even these military generals of his own!
To put it more seriously, this was already tantamount to taking sides and rebelling!
When the Marquis of Wu Cheng’s father and son withdrew directly from the imperial court after the Six Kingdoms were destroyed, it was with such concerns.
I thought the other side had retired long ago, but I didn’t expect that there would still be so many people in the court who would follow them wholeheartedly!
Wang Jian looked at Qin Shi Huang at this time and said, with a few sighs of relief.
“Your Majesty, I am old, why don’t I help the young people while I can still move?”
“Your Majesty, you, too, are getting old!”
Qin Shi Huang was suddenly silent.
After such a scene, the atmosphere on the field was already a little different from before, and with Wang Jian’s full support, the people looked a little warmer!
Great Qin, a nation founded on farming and warfare!
However, on the sidelines, Fusu became more and more discontented. The support of the soldiers only meant that Zhao Lang was truly brutal!
“Zhao Lang…”
Fu Su shouted again, only this time, before he could finish his words, another burst of voices came from the
“The law is also reason!”
“A man who is capable of the law must be strong and firm and straight! If he is not straight, he cannot pretend to be treacherous!”
As a phrase of the Law slowly came out, Li Si appeared in the street with many disciples of the Law.
Then step by step, he walked up to Zhao Lang, then saluted and said
“Li Si of the Fa Clan! Greetings to the chief!”
The Fa family was naturally familiar to the Qin people.
The story of Shang Yang standing on wood was not far away, the great Qin monarch, strong by changing the law!
Although Shang was eventually split into five horses, the roots of Legalism had already penetrated deep into the bones of the Qin people.
And now, the Legalist School, which represents the law of the Great Qin, has actually fallen before His Highness the Crown Prince!
This, what kind of style is this?
“Uncle Li…”
Zhao Lang shouted with a complicated expression.
He hadn’t thought that Uncle Li would support him so flagrantly.
Hearing a shout from Zhao Lang, Li Si’s face also revealed a smile, only he was not satisfied with this, but whispered that
“Don’t forget the little daughter.”
Zhao Lang blinked, I treat you like an uncle and you want to be my father-in-law?
Without giving Zhao Lang a chance to refuse, Li Si looked at Qin Shi Huang and, with determination in his heart, gritted his teeth and said in a loud voice.
“Here is the head of the Dharma family! The disciples of the Dharma family shall respect the law and act accordingly!”
The disciples of the Fa family among the officials, responded to the
“Disciples respect the Law!”
After saying this, Li Si also walked towards Qin Shi Huang, and the disciples of the Dharma behind him, also joined Zhao Lang’s group.
Only just before they reached Qin Shi Huang, they knelt down and worshipped him honestly.
“I, Li Si, have met Your Majesty, today I am out of order, so I would like to ask for Your Majesty’s reprimand!”
He was not as tough as Wang Jian!
After today, he was afraid he would be punished, and if he wanted to come out again, I guess he would have to wait for Zhao Lang to take the throne.
Qin Shi Huang said coldly that
“Take it down!”
Next to him, the Black Ice Guards, at once, took Li Si down!
The surrounding sons of the Fa family, who saw their former leader being arrested, were indifferent.
Li Si’s actions today had already violated the laws of the Great Qin, and he was taken down in accordance with the law.
It was only at this point that everyone got a little excited, today’s surprise was too big!
With the open support of the military and legal schools, the two founding principles of the Great Qin, Zhao Lang’s position was already unshakable!
But…
“We Confucians, what fear of might? We should reject it with benevolence and virtue!”
Fu Su said at this point with a bit of uncomprehended grief and anger.
The Confucians behind him, who practised benevolence and virtue, nodded along and said in a loud voice that
“We Confucians, what fear of might!”
Today they will use the power of Confucianism as a family to fight against the military! The Legalists!
Then Fusu raised his voice and said.
“We Confucians! Benevolence and virtue…”
Fu Su had not finished his words when an even louder voice came from
“We Confucians! To serve our country! To the people!”
As the crowd looked over, they saw Kongjia leading the many Confucian students, holding strange books in their hands, and walking over step by step.
Zhao Lang also saw an excited Gong Yang Dang!
All the way to Zhao Lang’s front, then bent down and saluted
“Confucian Kongjia, meet the chief!”
Zhao Lang was a little surprised, with the School of War and the School of Law, it was not surprising that the Confucian School was out of line, but the other party actually wanted to give himself the position of Confucian chief, how could he afford it now?
He was just about to refuse, but he was held in place by Kongjia.
“The token of Confucianism has been given to you long ago, and today is a good time to do so.”
“Long’er, you have invented this paper book, and you are credited with the Confucianism of the world, no Confucian would dare to oppose it!”
There were certainly factions among the Confucians who disagreed with Zhao Lang’s position, but after seeing the paper book he brought back, they simply shut up.
Only the Confucians of Chun Yu Yue’s faction paid no attention to him.
But now, the Confucians of Chun Yu Yue’s faction no longer mattered!
“Many thanks, teacher.”
Zhao Lang bowed and saluted.
Kong A smiled and nodded, then said in a loud voice that
“The Confucian chief is here, Confucian disciples respect the order!”
No sooner had he said this than the Confucian disciples around him shouted.
“Respect the chief’s order!”
Then Kongjia led the men behind Zhao Lang, who did not have to give Qin Shi Huang a good face.
On the other side, Fu Su’s originally grief-stricken face was by now full of shock, and his mind was even blank!
He did not understand why even the head of Confucianism was in cahoots with Zhao Lang.
“Fusu… What should we do?”
Gao’s voice was tinged with a few trembles at this time.
Even in his arrogance, he didn’t think he had half a chance of winning now!
Only then did Fusu come back to his senses, his face flushed red as he said.
“Such a brutal Confucian head is not my Confucian head!”
“For the sake of the people! For the sake of the people! Even if we break our bones, so what! Benevolence is the foundation of Confucianism!”
“For the sake of benevolence, what if we Confucians die?”
Hearing these words, all the benevolent Confucians behind him had a sadness on their faces that was not understood!
Fu Su took a deep breath at this time and shouted that
“Zhao Lang!”
But this time, no one was looking at him anymore.
For at this moment, countless people were pouring in from all the streets!
Several old men were at the head of them, and they arrived in front of Zhao Lang.
Zhao Lang took a faint breath and looked at the few people in front of him with a complicated expression.
“Elder Tian, Elder Qin, Elder Bai, Teacher Guigu, Xu Gui.”
At this moment several people said, one by one
“The farming family.”
“The healer’s family.”
“The House of Ink.”
“The Zongheng family.”
“The Yin-Yang family.”
“Greetings Chief!”
And in the corner where no one was looking, Mei had long ago smiled through her tears and led the humble ones to bow down and
“Greetings, chief!”
In the next instant, countless disciples of the Hundred Schools, in unison, said
“Greetings, Chief! I obey the orders of the chief!”
In a flash, shouts resounded through heaven and earth.
As countless disciples joined Zhao Lang’s ranks, all the people of the world had arrived at Zhao Lang’s side.
The hundred officials and ministers on the high platform had all been shaken to their core!
Even though they had high ranking officials and titles, how could they fight against such power?
Qin Shi Huang looked at Zhao Lang, who seemed to have become one with all the people of the world, with a complicated expression, and muttered
“Crown Prince of the Great Qin, common master of all the hundred schools, the people of all nations.”
As for Fusu and Gao at the side, their faces had already turned ashen.
But, who would care?
