This first emperor is awesome

Chapter 286 This Eastern Monarch Is Too Powerful

Ying Zheng shook his head. If half of the tens of thousands of officials here are honest and upright, his Great Qin Empire will be able to prosper forever.

It's a pity that it's as difficult as climbing to the sky. Human nature is greedy and endless. I can use my prestige to frighten people for a while, but I can't stop those people's greed forever.

Let's meet those alien missions for a while!It's time to let them know what is called Heavenly Kingdom...

It wasn't just a moment of enthusiasm to stop fighting. The empire's million-strong army was trapped in the hinterland of the Mauryan Dynasty. It has been seven years and they still haven't broken through the four major fortresses of the Maurya Dynasty.

Only now did Ying Zheng realize that it might not be the right time to unify Blue Star.

The resistance of the Maurya Dynasty was more tenacious than expected, causing a lot of losses to the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire.

The Great Qin Empire's goal of establishing prestige in the West has been achieved, and there is no rush to destroy the Peacock Family.

Whether it is Seleucus, Macedonia, Rome, Ptolemy, or the surviving Mauryan Dynasty, they all trembled and shivered under the front of the Great Qin soldiers.

Now that they have been dealt with submissively, there is no need to let the soldiers of the three armed forces bathe in blood in a foreign country.

It is in the interests of the Great Qin Empire to gradually erode it.

Furthermore, the territory of the empire is already large enough, and further expansion will not be conducive to the stability of the empire's rule.

At least the empire's technology hasn't made another leap forward, so it's not advisable to start a war to destroy the country.

Although Concubine Zuo has invented the telegraph, the communication technology of the Great Qin Empire has taken a new step.

But the transportation of troops and the rapid delivery of military supplies are still far behind. They are all very difficult problems. At least for now, they are very difficult.

Although trains have been built in various parts of the Great Qin Empire, and warships have also begun to be updated and changed into steam iron-clad warships, but it is far from enough.

The Great Qin Empire still needs time to grow, and in the near future, Blue Star will eventually step under its own feet.

"Emperor Qin Shihuang issued an edict to summon envoys from Rome, Macedonia, Seleucid, Ptolemy, Disis, Celtic, Manuel, Gaul, and Peacock."

Under Ying Zheng's instruction, Lu Feng shouted loudly.

A group of envoys stood under the steps of Afang Palace and Shanhe Palace, looked up at this majestic palace like a heavenly palace, their faces were full of shock and astonishment.

Oh, God!

Did you come to heaven?

How can there be such a breathtaking majestic building in the world?

The envoys from all over the world feel that comparing their own palaces with the buildings in front of them, it is simply the gap between chicken coops and phoenix nests, and there is no comparison at all.

The members of the envoys suppressed the shock in their hearts and tried to calm their emotions as much as possible.

After walking up the nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps, he felt his legs trembling. Looking at the gate of the river palace several feet high, they felt that their breathing was suffocating.

Walking into the Shanhe Palace, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

so big!

Looking at the densely packed tens of thousands of civil and military officials, and then raising their heads to look at the ruler of the Eastern Empire sitting on a huge throne and wearing a fine attire, everyone swallowed subconsciously.

The civil and military officials of the Great Qin Empire are also looking at these envoys from foreign countries. Although the Great Qin Empire has fought in the south and north in recent years, they have seen many foreign races.

But seeing these blue-eyed, fair-skinned, and blond-haired Fanren, he couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

Originally, in their eyes, these foreign races of foreign countries all looked like ghosts, but they didn't expect these guys to look decent.

Especially the envoy from Rome, a handsome young man.

Even with an oriental aesthetic concept, he has to be praised for being handsome.

Until they came to Yingzheng's feet, the envoys from all countries were surprised to see the incomparably majestic Yingzheng.

Isn't the ruler of the Eastern Empire already 60 years old?Today is his 60th birthday, why does it seem that his name does not match the reality?

Although Yingzheng's face is covered by the crown, everyone can still vaguely see that there are no wrinkles on the face and skin of the ruler of the empire, especially the black hair, which does not look like an old man in the court. elder.

This is clearly a young man who has no connection with the old man.

In recent years, the countries in the Far West have also had a lot of contact with this powerful neighbor in the East. As the representative of the Roman mission, Flamininus has also specially studied the Eastern language and etiquette. Although he is not proficient, he will not be rude. .

Putting aside the doubts and distracting thoughts in his heart, Flamy used the etiquette that has been tried and tested, folded his hands, put them in front of him, and bent down to pay respects to Ying Zheng.

"The envoy of the Roman Empire, Flamininus, pays his respects to His Majesty the First Emperor of the Great Qin Empire."

Flamy's voice was very loud, and his movements were done in one go, like flowing water.

"Greetings to His Majesty the First Emperor of the Great Qin Empire."

The envoys from other countries behind him also saluted and shouted at the same time.

Ying Zheng didn't speak, his expression was calm, making people unable to see the joy, anger, sorrow and joy. His eyes turned to Liu Ji who was with the old god.

Liu Ji, who is nearly sixty years old and nearly sixty, has gray hair and is quite energetic.Seeing His Majesty's gaze, he immediately comprehended, and walked out quickly.

"Little Jixi envoy, to see my emperor, he can't do three prostrations and nine kowtows. It's really presumptuous. Is this contempt for my emperor?"

When he came in front of the envoys, Liu Ji pointed at them and put a big hat on them.

For a moment, all civil and military officials looked at each other in blank dismay. According to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, foreign envoys did not need to bow three times and kowtow nine times when they had an audience.

What kind of medicine did Peihou take wrongly?

On the contrary, Xiao He secretly glanced at the aloof Ying Zheng, thoughtful in his heart.

Your Majesty, this is to give the countries of the Far West a blow!

It's still Liu Ji who is alert and understands the king's heart well, I am not as good as it.

Flami and the envoys from other countries looked at Liu Ji who jumped out in a daze. It took him a long time to comprehend the meaning of Liu Ji's words, and a chill came over his heart immediately.

"No... I have great admiration for His Majesty the First Emperor, and I dare not despise him. This lord has misunderstood."

Flammy quickly argued.

"Really? Then you kneel down and bow three times and kowtow nine times. This Marquis will take back what you just said, otherwise..."

Liu Ji looked at Flamininus maliciously, made a gesture of wiping his neck secretly without concealing his threat.

Flamininus suddenly pointed to Liu Ji in disbelief, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

How could there be such brazen people in this magnificent Qin Dynasty?Confused black and white, strong words?

How did this kind of person get into the Great Qin Temple?

Flamininus didn't care about three prostrations and nine kowtows, and he didn't care about personal honor or disgrace.

But the problem is, the watch he brought on this trip was the Roman Republic, not an individual.

Although Rome's national strength is indeed not as good as this powerful neighbor in the east, it should not be underestimated.

If he really bowed down today, then he, the prince of Rome, would lose all his prestige. In the future, let alone taking over the rights and glory from his father, I am afraid that the whole of Rome would not have his own foothold.

My deadly enemy will definitely be very happy to see it.

But don't kneel...

After a long time, Flamininus finally made a decision, and he set his sights on Ying Zheng, which was his last savior.

"His Majesty the Great First Emperor, is this your will?"

Flamininus looked at Ying Zheng very nervously. One word from this master was about his future destiny. How could he not be nervous?

"If you don't kneel, you can fight..."

Ying Zheng said slowly, although there were only four words, but it fell in the hall, but it was like rolling thunder, making everyone terrified.

Perhaps this is the pinnacle of brevity...

The envoys from the Far West countries who had been waiting and watching also felt chills in their hearts, hesitating whether to kneel or not?

After all, a good man doesn't suffer from immediate disadvantages, this eastern monarch is really too strong...

Chapter 287 It’s Not That You Don’t Want to Be Strong, You Really Can’t Be Hard

Flamininus thumped in his heart, weighed the pros and cons, and quickly made up his mind.

After losing face, there is still room for change when returning to China, but once a war is started, he will definitely become the target of public criticism.

Kneeling down neatly, bowing three times and prostrating nine times, Flamininus felt no discomfort at all.

The envoys of other countries bowed their heads when they saw Rome, and bowed down one after another.

So what if you don't pray?

Respect for the strong is the imprint flowing in their blood.

The oriental monarch in front of him is undoubtedly the strongest in the world.

At least their countries have suffered a great loss under the strong boats and guns of this oriental monarch.

"Your Majesty the Great First Emperor, we pay our respects to you."

After Flamininus finished his salute, he and the envoys from other countries spoke again to Ying Zheng.

"I don't know if this respect from the diplomatic envoys only represents you, or represents your own kingdom?"

Yingzheng's expression was calm, and he asked straight to the point.

"Your Majesty the Great First Emperor, everyone in Rome pays homage to His Majesty."

Flamininus was devout and very humble.

"The subjugated Celtic country is full of admiration for His Majesty."

"The Manu people yearn for the supreme power, and His Majesty is the most powerful man in the world."

"Gaul..."

"Ptolemy..."

Seeing Flamininus's statement, the envoys of various countries also echoed, for fear that they would be one step too late, which would cause dissatisfaction with the Eastern monarch.

"Since that's the case, wouldn't it be beautiful if all the countries surrendered to Daqin, and the entire Blue Star is one family from now on?"

Ying Zheng laughed out loud, speaking aggressively.

"This……"

"This……"

Not only Flamininus was a little confused, but also the other envoys were also confused. They didn't expect the Eastern monarch to say such a thing at all.

"What? Could it be that what you said just now were all deceiving me?"

Ying Zheng showed displeasure on his face, and glared at Flamininus and the envoys from various countries.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The foreign ministers spoke from the bottom of their hearts, without any intention of deception."

"It's just that although the Romans have great respect for His Majesty, Rome has a Roman tradition, and its vast territory has been sacrificed by the sages of the past..."

Flamininus saw that the envoys from all countries were looking at him, so he could only bite the bullet and speak, but was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Okay, my patience is limited. Great Qin is a country of etiquette, the ancestral land of civilization, how can it overwhelm people with power?"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said impatiently.

"Your Majesty is sage, foreign ministers admire him very much, Great Qin is really a kingdom of heaven, with extraordinary bearing."

Flamininus and the envoys from all countries breathed a sigh of relief, and complimented in unison.

"Flamininus, it's not good for the Romans to rely on the strong to bully the weak. The Romans should stay in their own place honestly and not abuse their friends wantonly."

Ying Zheng changed the subject and said directly in an orderly tone.

Flamininus' expression changed, but he quickly returned to normal. He said cautiously, "Your Majesty is just joking. The Romans have always had good neighbors. How could they do such a thing that both people and gods are angry with?"

"is it?"

"Invite the envoy of Carthage, General Hannibal Bacca, to the hall."

The corner of Ying Zheng's mouth curled up.

Soon a middle-aged man with fair skin, black pupils, and black hair, wearing armor, walked into the hall, came to Ying Zheng, and immediately knelt down and shouted: "Foreign minister, Hanni of Carthage!" Bar Bacca pays homage to His Majesty the Great Qin Shi Huang."

"The general is exempt."

A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face, and he waved his hands quickly.

When Flamininus saw Hannibal, the Carthaginian god of war, walk into the hall, did he know that the supreme master of the Great Qin Empire had a strategic intention to support Carthage and contain Rome's eastward advance?
