Chapter 563: Peace (End of this book)
The founding ceremony and the Qin Emperor's wedding were going on at the same time.

According to the request of His Majesty the Emperor of Qin, his wedding should be held after the founding ceremony. Both events are extremely important, but all officials, the Emperor of Qin, and even the owner of Changfeng Tower believe that nothing is more important than the founding ceremony.

The most important affairs of state are sacrifices and military affairs.

Now that the war has ended and the world is at peace, the founding ceremony and the announcement of peace are both to appease and pacify the people of the world and to comfort the deceased. There is indeed nothing more important than this.

His Majesty the Emperor Qin also said that the wedding must take place after this event.

As an official of the Ministry of Rites, Nan Hanwen asked His Majesty how many ceremonies he wanted to hold.

The invincible Emperor Qin grunted for a long time.

Nan Hanwen understood and said, "I understand."

His Majesty Emperor Qin breathed a sigh of relief, with an expression that said you are very understanding on his face.

Mr. Nan Hanwen said meticulously:

"Then Your Majesty, do you want to open them all at once, or one by one?"

His Majesty the Emperor Qin was stunned.

Nan Hanwen said with some sarcasm:
"Your Majesty, are you going to save money this time?"

The Emperor of Qin was silent for a long time, and then said, "I have also made achievements. I conquered Chen State and Ying State, and there is a lot of gold and silver in the royal family. But in the end, the beauty is very kind and I have waited for a long time..."

The gray-haired Qin Emperor chuckled and said, "I won't save it this time."

"Let Emperor Ying and Emperor Chen, let Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions, and the eighteen tribes of the grasslands bring their treasures to congratulate my wedding."

This sentence is plain, but the achievements of this person have already been demonstrated.

The emperor's oppression and dullness are vivid and vivid, and his great achievements make people feel dazed.

Nan Hanwen was stunned, then nodded solemnly:
"Yes."

However, His Majesty the Emperor Qin immediately added, "But you must not be extravagant or wasteful."

This sentence finally made Nan Hanwen feel an inexplicable sense of closeness and familiarity. The old man walked out holding back his laughter and burst into laughter.

This emperor, who is the greatest in three generations, still has the same character as before.

Nan Hanwen laughed so hard that tears came out in the cold winter wind.

He wiped away a tear.

It’s great that the old friend has achieved the supreme achievement and is the supreme emperor!

Great.

His achievements are unparalleled in his time and his reputation will resound through the ages.

The emperor is still the same old friend.

These words and these tiny things made Nan Hanwen feel a subtle sense of being touched in his heart. He couldn't describe the feeling, but he just thought that the emperor was just a status after all.

He was sighing and delighted, and suddenly stopped.

Um? ?

etc? ? ?

Nan Hanwen’s eyes widened.

The old man suddenly understood why General Nangong Wumeng started to go out frequently to look for things.

He could not laugh or cry.

Just keep busy.

However, when he told old Siming, old Siming planned to leave immediately.

Of course, the founding ceremony would not participate in these two events, but he would not come here to drink at the wedding. Nan Hanwen had a good relationship with Lao Siming, but he never thought that after telling Lao Siming about the preparations for the Qin Emperor's wedding, Lao Siming would leave so early.

At that time, the old Siming only smiled faintly and said, "Yin and Yang complement each other. Where there is Yin, there is Yang. Seeing that the world is at peace and Li Guanyi is getting married, I am afraid that I will be reluctant to leave. I can't bear it, so I'd better leave early."

"After the founding ceremony, the Qin Emperor will get married. I'm afraid the news will spread all over the world."

"At that time, I will just toast you with a glass of wine from afar."

Nan Hanwen was busy when he saw the owner of Changfeng Tower coming. Nan Hanwen took the initiative to greet him. When he saw the owner of Changfeng Tower, who had a wooden hairpin in his hair and a scarlet unicorn cloud pattern on his sleeves, even for a man like Nan Hanwen, the expression on his face had softened a lot.

The silk tailors in Jiangnan are the best in the world.

"Seen..."

Mr. Nan Hanwen almost said "Your Majesty"

Now that she had put on the scarlet dress with the Qilin pattern, the only thing left was to announce it to the world. However, because of the influence of the deceased Qu Hanxiu, Nan Hanwen swallowed the word "Empress" that was almost on her throat.

Etiquette cannot be abolished, and names cannot be messed up.

Just said: "Owner."

Xue Shuangtao bowed slightly and said, "Sir, you are so polite. Where is Guan Yi?"

Nan Hanwen was stunned and said, "Your Majesty should be going to pay tribute to the deceased. Master, is there anything important you want to talk to Your Majesty about?"

Xue Shuangtao said: "Mr. Pojun is leaving!"

Nan Hanwen was stunned and dazed.

No, Senior Siming.

Now, apart from the Qin Emperor's wedding and the founding ceremony, there is another, even bigger event happening in the world.

"Your Majesty, where is Your Majesty!!!"

………………

Li Guanyi slowly opened his eyes.

He had already stepped over these Nine Cauldrons and was moving forward, stepping on the white jade steps. With every step he took, one of the Nine Cauldrons roared, until the entire Nine Provinces Cauldron was filled with luck. At the highest point of the Nine Provinces Cauldron was just a white jade chair.

Li Guanyi's fingers touched the white jade chair and felt it was cold. Then he turned around, sat down slowly, and looked down from above. He had an indifferent air, but it was clear that he was a lonely man. It turned out that the highest part of the Jiuzhou Ding was just a white jade chair.

Buddhists say pointing your finger at the moon, while Taoists say my heart is the heart of heaven.

What Confucianism says is our destiny.

This white jade chair represents the final storm and glory that befell this body.

But in order to reach the highest point, to sweep across the world and to forge the Nine Cauldrons.

This is the [unification of the Nine Provinces].

You have already received this destiny, so why do you need external things to demonstrate it?

The so-called ending is that the achievements of this life have been accomplished and there is no need to seek outside.

In the end, Emperor Qin just patted the white jade statue, without any hesitation or lingering, and just stood up and said casually: "It's too hard, it's uncomfortable to sit on it."

"gone!"

He walked on his own path, and when he left, the Nine Cauldrons roared.

The Jiuzhou Ding no longer had any delay and was completely under the control of Emperor Qin.

Where the mind moves, there is no delay.

Billions of people bless this body. Every move he makes is filled with energy and blood, even above that of an overlord. His destiny is so vast that it has surpassed that of the Red Emperor.

In the Nine Provinces and four seas, the fighting power is outstanding, the first in ancient and modern times.

He is self-sufficient by nature and does not seek outside. Just standing here, the heaven and earth become one square and circle. The emperor is magnificent and boundless, and the emperor is upright and just. Only this person lives up to his original intention.

However, this situation did not last long before it was broken by an urgent message. Mr. Pojun was planning to say goodbye. When Emperor Qin learned the news, his face changed.

Trot all the way.

He rode his horse directly towards Pojun's residence.

Pojun lives not in a busy city, but in a quiet and peaceful place.

When passing through a busy city, even His Majesty the Emperor of Qin had to lead the horse obediently. He was not worried that Mr. Pojun would leave immediately. After knowing each other for more than ten years, His Majesty the Emperor of Qin also knew Mr. Pojun's temperament.

This guy told the eldest lady the news so that Li Guanyi could come and say goodbye.

Mr. Pojun, you are still so particular.

Li Guanyi pulled his warhorse and walked among the crowd. He used the Murong family's martial arts, the Misty Jiangnan Chonglou Gong, to conceal his existence. Others could not see him, but they could see that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, with smiles on their faces.

Everyone is looking forward to the future.

The tyrant ruler has been eliminated, the corrupt officials and the aristocratic families have been dealt with one by one, and there will be no more wars everywhere.

Everyone has warm expectations in their hearts.

A beautiful and prosperous era is about to begin.

Li Guanyi suddenly heard a slight noise in his ears.

The Qin Emperor paused, his warhorse neighed softly, and people came and went like a tide. Li Guanyi slowly turned his head, and he pulled his warhorse towards the flat road on the side of the wide avenue.

There, the sun could not shine in, and the world outside could not flow in. But in the shadows, an ordinary man was seen kneeling on the ground, his face full of sorrow, saying:
"Please, I'll give you the money, all of it." "But according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, this land should be divided among our family. How can you give it to that person? Even if it's your brother-in-law, you can't do this."

"What do you mean? Didn't we give you land?"

Li Guanyi turned his gaze away from the panicked, grieving old farmer and looked at the man who was kneeling and begging for mercy. The man's face was covered by the shadow and could not be seen clearly, but on his drooping battle robe -

It is a Qilin pattern.

The captain of the Qilin Army.

I don't know what the captain said, he just laughed.

The people suddenly knelt down, crying and shouting:
"master!!!"

In just a moment, Li Guanyi woke up from Taiping's dream.

The people's peaceful and prosperous life, the warmth and tranquility of the tavern, children, education, peace, land distribution, and noble families, after all these problems were solved, the beautiful dream, filled with light, was shattered in front of him at this moment.

It's like a feeling of samsara invading this body.

Should I be a founding emperor, or...

Footsteps sounded, and when the common man kowtowed, suddenly a strong hand lifted his arm, making him unable to kowtow any further. While he was stunned, he heard a young voice saying:

"stand up!"

“No kneeling.”

"Also, don't kneel."

Both of them looked over. When they saw that person, the Qilin Army captain was stunned. Then his expression changed drastically and he immediately saluted: "Your Majesty..."

Qin Emperor Li Guanyi lifted up the people's hands.

In his eyes, the look of an emperor who had accomplished unparalleled achievements slowly faded away, and the light of a warrior once again showed his sharpness like a sharpened weapon.

………………

“Hahahaha, old guys, old guys!”

"Do you know my lord? Have you ever seen a lord like me?"

"I am going back now. I have to tell you all about my experiences along the way. I have ended the troubled times and completed the feat that none of you have been able to complete."

"I even surpassed Yao Guang..."

The purple-eyed strategist wrote letter after letter, his smile frozen.

Pensive, thoughtful.

Finally, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "In the end, she became the emperor's concubine, or the emperor and empress together. Anyway, she is no longer a counselor or assistant!"

"Hahahaha, this is the path of counselor!"

"I!"

"Breaking the military!"

"win!"

"Big win, big win!"

"It's cool!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Po Jun was stunned and heard a familiar but grown-up voice saying, "Sir, are you still here?"

Po Jun became solemn. He put down his pen, straightened his clothes and appearance, went to push the door. When he opened the door, he saw the Emperor Qin outside and was in a trance for a moment.

The strategist's purple pupils shrank, and in an instant, what he saw was not the eternal emperor who was dressed in imperial uniform and had a calm demeanor, but it seemed as if he was looking at the divine general Li Guanyi who was wearing armor, heavy armor, and a battle robe.

After a trance, I saw that the Qin Emperor was still wearing the same clothes.

However, that fierce fighting spirit, that will as hot as the sun, reappeared in this emperor who had accomplished supreme achievements after peace came to the world, and this made the purple-eyed strategist's blood boil.

"Sir, I am leaving."

Li Guanyi looked at the letters on the table.

The purple-eyed counselor smiled and said, "When I met you, I told you that our lineage is a lineage of struggle. Now that the world is at peace, there are no enemies or opponents. A peaceful and prosperous era is about to arrive."

"There is no rival in this world, so there is no place for us to use our skills."

"It's time to retire. These letters are for the other old friends in the Qilin Army and Tiance Mansion. After all, we are acquainted with each other. But my lord, you are..."

Li Guanyi said: "But what if I say it's not over yet?"

So Po Jun was stunned.

"Where are the enemies?"

Li Guanyi stretched out his hand, pointed at himself, and then pointed at the world outside. Pojun was stunned and puzzled. Li Guanyi slowly told him what he had just seen and said, "Peace has just come. It will take at least ten years for the world to get back on track, and something like this has already happened."

"Our enemy has reappeared, sir."

Li Guanyi said: "It is no longer a specific enemy like Chen Dingye and Jiang Wanxiang. It is not born from the womb or eggs, but from transformation."

"They will reappear between people. After we conquer the enemy country, these existences that we hate will gradually emerge from our good warriors and take root again."

Pojun was a great talent in the world. He understood what Li Guan said and said according to the letter:
"Your Majesty, is our struggle over?"

Li Guanyi replied: "It has just begun."

"I see."

The purple-eyed, young, still-at-the-top strategist asked the strongest emperor, chuckled, and then asked, "So, can we win our struggle in ten, twenty, or thirty years?"

So the emperor replied, "No."

"Perhaps, even in my lifetime, we all need to fight this enemy and things will get better, but in our lifetimes, we will never see the day when we completely defeat 'it'."

Po Jun asked: "Even so, do you still want to fight it?"

Emperor Qin stretched out his hand and said, "Yes."

The Qin Emperor's grace faded away, and the fierce warrior appeared again. He stretched out his hand to Po Jun, promised a second dream that would never end, and said with a smile: "Since we have come this far, let us have another unattainable dream."

"Sir, would you like to come with me?"

Po Jun looked at the emperor in front of him and suddenly laughed:
"How dare you disobey your orders!"

With a sweep of his sleeves, he swept all the letters on the table into the furnace. The flames burned fiercely, just like the scarlet flag with Qilin cloud pattern, which fluttered and spread out.

The founding ceremony finally begins.

The Qin Emperor's eyes were filled with fire. He was not wearing the imperial robes, but a suit of ink-colored armor. He put down the imperial robes with tassels prepared by Nan Hanwen, picked up the scarlet kirin-patterned battle robe with sleeves for both civil and military use, stroked the sleeves, and smiled slightly.

With a sudden shock, he turned around, and his sleeves rolled like waves.

Like the mighty river flowing eastward, it covers the body of the Qin Emperor.

It is full of vigor and vigor.

"Let's go and establish a country!"

He strode out, alone, and as he walked forward, the purple-eyed counselor smiled and nodded, following beside him. Yue Pengwu looked solemn, also in armor and battle robes, and gradually climbed the stairs with Li Guanyi. The silver-haired astrologer, the young owner of Changfeng Tower, Yan Daiqing, Wen Qingyu, Fang Ziqiao, Li Zhaowen, Yue Qianfeng, Chen Wenmian...

These people followed behind Emperor Qin one after another, looking at his back.

They continued walking forward.

They are young and they have a burning fire in their hearts.

It's like the rising sun, shining brightly!

He was alone when he started, but by the end, he was surrounded by many people. Li Guanyi stood on the high platform and looked ahead. The scarlet flags with Qilin patterns were fluttering and burning the sky and the earth. He took a deep breath and looked at the laughing faces of the people with a gentle expression.

Whatever you go along the way, whatever you see along the way, whatever you fight along the way, whatever you kill along the way.

Those old friends, powerful enemies, and battlefields were all swept up in the scarlet flame-like banner. The sound of the Nine Cauldrons resounded throughout the world. The Emperor Qin took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"Today we build a platform to inform the heaven and earth and the people."

"One country under heaven, no more wars!"

"The change of the reign title is for——"

"【Peaceful】!"

After a moment of breath-holding silence.

Cheers roared and an era of peace and prosperity began. This was certainly beautiful, but at the same time, the corruption of time also began. The Qin Emperor leaned on his sword, looked at the crimson banners and flags, his sleeves fluttering, and his expression was calm and peaceful.

He seemed to be standing on the wave of reincarnation.

Behind us are our comrades and friends-in-arms, and ahead of us is the tide of the world and the times.

Is our struggle over?

No.

Our struggle.

just began!
