Three days later, the Qin army officially swore to set off.

And Qin Wangzheng also held a grand troop ceremony for this expedition, erected a high platform by Weishui, paid tribute to Weishui, and officially bowed to the generals in public. Because according to the theory of reincarnation of the five elements, the Qin State adheres to the virtue of water, so every time there is a heavy thing, in addition to worshiping the ancestors of heaven and earth, it is also necessary to sacrifice water.

Qin Wangzheng got up at dawn, first bathed three times and provoked, bathed to wash away the ominous atmosphere, and provoked to paint his body with incense to show his respect for God. Then put on a full suit crown, first led the clan members and civil and military officials of the Qin State, worshiped the ancestors of the Qin State in the temple, prayed for the protection of the ancestors, and then boarded the high car - before and after the high car, it was the honor guard of the heavens, the golden gourd axe, and the umbrella cover of various flags, lined up enough to be long, and under the protection of the military chariot and the escort armor, galloped away from Xianyang and headed towards Weishui.

After Qin Wangzheng's high car, it was the vehicle of Princess Hehua, because before Hehua got married, he was responsible for the affairs of the temple and his status was very respectful, so she naturally wanted to participate in such a heavy ceremony, and she was not wearing the princess's palace clothes, but a sorcerer's clothes, showing that her current identity is a witch and not a princess. After Hehua's carriage, there was the carriage of the civil and military officials.

And the road from Xianyang to Weishui was crowded with onlookers, shouting "Long live the king" and "Long live the princess", because the Qin State also had great respect for Hehua, and first, it was a miracle that was shown on her, which was seen by tens of thousands of soldiers; Second, Hehua has always been gentle and friendly in Qin, often in the name of the office, helping orphans and widows, very popular with the people, so in the Qin people, all of them are very respectful of this noble and kind-hearted princess, every time Hehua travels, it will attract many people to watch. However, the people of the Qin State have always abided by the rules and paid attention to order, and although the number of people is not chaotic at all.

Qin Wangzheng sat in the carriage and listened to the people on both sides of the road putting Hehua behind him, so he didn't care. Because he not only likes this daughter, but also saw the miracles shown by Hehua with his own eyes, and firmly believes that Hehua is a good omen for Qin. However, Qin Wangzheng still has a little bitterness in his heart, it is for Hehua's marriage.

In this era, the age of marriage is generally between 14 and 17 years old, and at the age of 18 is the older girl, and after 20, it can only be regarded as a leftover woman of this era. And now that Hehua is almost eighteen years old, according to common sense, if it was an ordinary princess, she should have been married a long time ago. In fact, Qin Wangzheng has long been thinking about Hehua's marriage, and among the powerful families of Qin, the Meng, Li, and Wang families all have young children of the same age as Hehua.

But Hehua is not an ordinary princess, she is a person who has shown miracles, although there are many people in the legend who have shown miracles, such as the ancient saint Wang Yao, Shun, Yu, as well as Chengtang, Zhou Wen, Confucius, etc., but the woman showed miracles, it seems that only Hehua is alone, so now the Qin State is almost worshiped as a goddess, of course, you can't find an ordinary powerful brother to marry.

If Hehua is a noble daughter, it is easy to do, and she can marry directly into the royal family, but it is the result of everyone's happiness. But Hehua is the princess of Qin, even if she marries the royal family, she can only marry the royal families of other candidate countries, not to mention that now Qin Wangzheng has planned to unify the world, all countries are enemies of Qin, even if there are countries that are friendly with Qin, Qin Wangzheng is not willing to let Hehua marry outside. Because Hehua is the auspicious omen of the Qin State and the goddess of the Qin State, of course she cannot marry into another country.

But in this way, Hehua's marriage became a big problem, so after Zhao came back, Qin Wangzheng never talked about Hehua's marriage with Hehua's mother Zheng Ji. But it's not a way to drag it like this, Hehua is eighteen years old, and if she drags it out for another two years, she will become an old girl, is it difficult to make Hehua not marry for life?

Thinking of this, Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that the miracles are not all good things. And at this time, Qin Wangzheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, isn't there a person who has shown miracles, the plateau is descending with the flint, before the plateau not only showed a very good ability to use troops, but also after entering the Daijun, the plateau is not inferior in terms of governing the country, he and Hehua are also the same age, to be the most ideal candidate for marriage with Hehua.

Although Daijun and Qin are now in hostility, Qin Wangzheng has always remembered that after learning that the plateau was coming, Chi Song's divination received an edict: although it descends to Zhao, it will eventually benefit Qin. Therefore, Qin Wangzheng has always been concerned about this, from the current situation, although the plateau descended on Zhao, but did not make Zhao rich and strong, on the contrary, it was destroyed by Qin, which can be regarded as a partial confirmation of this oracle, so it seems that the plateau may not be hostile to Qin for a long time.

And thinking about it along this line of thought, Qin Wangzheng suddenly had an idea in his heart, if the Wei State was destroyed this time, the general trend of the unification of the Qin State would be basically unstoppable, and the Daijun was a corner after all, and it was difficult to make a big deal, and the Qin State would give the plateau enough courtesy and persuade the plateau to surrender to the Qin State, which would not be enough. The condition of the body is negotiable, and now the plateau is not called the king, just the king, which has a lot of room for operation, because according to the highest title of Qin, it is a feudal candidate, and it is one level higher than the current Wu'an Jun of the plateau in the name of the meeting, of course, in essence, the plateau is a party of candidates, of course, it is much stronger than the feudal candidate of the Qin State, but under the general trend, this is the best result of the plateau. It's really not good, you can give Gao Yuan more fiefs and give him a little more private power, such a condition, Gao Yuan should be difficult to refuse.

When the plateau returns to the Qin State, then the edict of Chi Songxiao will be completely fulfilled, and at that time, you can consider marrying Hehua to the Plateau, so that you can also pull the Long Plateau, let him contribute to the Qin State wholeheartedly, and after a hundred years, he can support and support the Su, so that the foundation of the Qin State can develop for a long time, and with the talent of the Plateau, he will definitely be able to become the pillar of the Qin State.

And Qin Wangzheng thought again, Fusu's age is not too young, although he said that he is in the prime of life, there is no need to rush to think about the things behind him, but the cultivation of Fusu, can not be relaxed, even if he can unify the world, but a person's energy is limited, the strength of Qin, not only rely on a generation of monarchs, from the beginning of filial piety to appoint Shang Martingale to change the law, until himself, he is already the seventh generation, and Qin is fortunate that among these generations of monarchs, although they have different levels of intelligence, there is no one who is incompetent. Qin Guocai is growing stronger from generation to generation, so the accompaniment of the heir can not be despised either, although Fusu is not as smart as Hehua, but it can be regarded as a middle-class talent, but unfortunately the sex is too weak, and the heart is also a little softer, it is necessary to let him experience in the army in the future......

Thinking about it, Qin Wangzheng didn't feel unconscious, and at this moment, he only heard Zhao Gao's shrill voice and said, "King, I have arrived." ”

Qin Wangzheng came to his senses at this time, and when he looked up, he saw that the large group of men and horses had already arrived at the edge of Weishui, and at this time 20,000 Qin troops had gathered here, standing in four phalanxes in front of the altar, neatly and neatly, leaving a road to pass the altar. The guard of honour lined up on both sides of the road. So Qin Wangzheng got out of the car and led Hehua and the civil and military officials through the honor guard and walked towards the altar.

At this time, the sound of drum music was loud, and it was the song of [No Clothes] that was played, and 20,000 soldiers of the Qin army sang in unison, and the sound of rolling went straight to the sky and spread to the four fields. When the music was about to end, Qin Wangzheng just walked to the altar, and the civil and military officials were arranged on both sides of the stage according to their titles and official positions, and Qin Wangzheng and He Hua ascended the altar. At this time, Chi Songzi led the four diviners to kneel on the altar to meet the great auspices of Qin Wangzheng.

After Qin Wangzheng ascended the high platform, he said to Chi Songzi: "The immortal master is flat. ”

Only then did Chi Songxiao stand up and said, "King, princess, the time has come, and you can start." ”

Qin Wangzheng nodded, and together with Hehua, he came to the front of the incense case that had already been set up, knelt on the ground, and bowed nine times in a row, and then Qin Wangzheng got up and read the sacrificial text in public. And Hehua still knelt in front of the incense table and continued to pray to heaven.

In fact, it is said that it is a sacrificial text, but it is actually a document of the war against Wei, which was drafted by Li Si, first counting the harm caused by Wei to Qin in history, and then falsely installing more than a dozen crimes on the king of Wei, of course, they are all extremely evil, basically reaching the standard of common anger of people and gods, indicating that this war against Wei is to hang the people and save the people of Wei from fire and water, not for the selfish interests of Qin, and finally ask for God's protection, so that the Qin army can win. Although the six eastern kingdoms have always regarded Qin as a country of tigers and wolves, and are commensurate with the violent Qin, within the Qin state, they still believe that Zisi is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, the country of kings, and this great name must be determined.

Li Si is indeed worthy of being the author of this era, this sacrificial essay is written in a magnificent, magnificent, and rhyming manner, catchy, coupled with Qin Wangzheng's loud voice, read it in a low tone, and the 20,000 Qin troops in the audience are very clear.

After Qin Wangzheng finished reading the memorial text, he burned the sacrificial text and threw it into the Weishui together with the memorial offerings, and the soldiers in the audience cheered in unison. Only then did Hehua stand up and retreat to the side of the stage, and the water sacrifice ceremony was all over.

And then the vocal music started again, and the soldiers in the audience sang "No Clothes" in unison, and in the singing, Wang Jian was dressed in full uniform and climbed onto the high platform. And Qin Wangzheng was standing facing the steps, and after Wang Jian ascended the high platform, he bowed to Wang Jian three times in a row, and Wang Jian stood up straight and accepted it calmly. At this time, the important ceremony of paying homage to the general means that the monarch has handed over the power of life and death to the general who goes out on the expedition.

After Qin Wangzheng finished worshipping, he stood up straight and said: "Wang Jian, the widow will pay you for the conquest of Wei, I hope you will live up to the expectations of the widow, raise the prestige of my Great Qin, and return to the country as soon as possible." ”

Wang Jian knelt on the stage and said, "The ministers should do their best not to meet the king's expectations." Then the Qin troops in the audience shouted in unison, "Long live the king, Great Qin will win", which raised the morale of the whole army to the extreme.

Only then did Wang Jian get up and step down and order the Qin army to come out. The Qin army of the four phalanxes drove on the road one by one, leaving Xianyang and marching towards Wei.
